After Lin Ye's cowardly army entered Dongbo from Longzhangtai, their marching speed was never very fast.
As long as he is a little faster, he can always stick to the back of Tuoba Liedu's Kitano Army and beat him.
But, who can beat whom, and who can be sure about this?
In fact, Lin Ye did not think that the team he had put together was a match for the Kitano Army, even though the team seemed to be fighting and high-spirited.
This is the first battle that the cowardly army has raised its banner to fight. If it does not win well, he cannot afford to lose the face of General Liu Jigong.
Moreover, Lin Ye had already planned in his mind how to fight this battle.
Wu Tuo City is about five hundred miles away from Liyang City. After Lin Ye led his army to station here, he ordered the news to be blocked. Wu Tuo City could only be entered and left, preventing the rebels from knowing the exact location of the Cowardly Army so quickly.
He had to wait, waiting for Tuoba Lie to be eager to attack Xian Tang, the capital of Dongbo.
After Tuoba Lie's main army moves north, he will lead his army to attack Liyang City.
As long as Liyang City is defeated, it will be equivalent to cutting off Tuoba Lie's retreat and cutting off Tuoba Lie's food route.
No matter how famous Tuoba Lie is, he is now at the end of his rope.
After returning to Dongbo from Guzhu, Tuoba Lie actually had no other choice.
He can only attack Xiantang City, destroy Dongbo, and gain a foothold in Xiantang.
Now that Dongbo's troops are empty, they have to fight the Loufan people in the north, and they have to face Tuoba Lie's Beiye Army. There is a 70-80% chance that they will be defeated.
Just six or seven days ago, Lin Ye received a handwritten letter sent to him by Yu Yucheng.
Yu Yucheng hurriedly asked Lin Ye to lead his army north as soon as possible and stationed in Xiantang City.
He will prepare all the supplies needed by the Cowardly Army in advance, including three times the military pay.
He also said sincerely that Dongbo was now at a critical stage of life and death, and if Lin Ye didn't come to his rescue, he might not be able to protect the Immortal Tang Dynasty.
Lin Ye wrote a letter for the envoy to take back, telling Yuyu Cheng hastily to prepare for war immediately and defend Xiantang, and he would rush there as soon as possible.
After receiving Lin Ye's reply, the messenger hurried back to resume his life.
But Lin Ye had no plans to go north to Xiantang.
At this moment, Lieutenant General Feng Xiu also understood Lin Ye's intentions. The battle between Xian Tang and Dong Bo was related to Dong Bo's life and death.
Everyone in Dongbo must be united, and even if Tuoba Lie can win this battle, it will definitely not be easy.
The general first attacked Liyang City to cut off Tuoba Lie's return route and food route. Only when Tuoba Lie lost his troops and generals in Xiantang did the cowardly army move northward.
Sometimes Feng Xiu doesn't understand how the general can be so inhumane.
Yuyu Chengchang and Lin Ye are old acquaintances. The two have been through difficulties together, and Lin Ye can be regarded as Yuyu Chengchang's savior.
This time, Lin Ye didn't seem to care so much about Yu Yu Chengchong's life and death.
When Feng Xiu was at Geling Martial Academy, his instructor once said that the first thing a qualified general must do is not act out of emotion.
The teacher once gave an example. If you are a general, your wife, children, and children are all besieged, but you know that if you lead the army to rescue, you will be ambushed, and 90% of the army will be annihilated.
How to fight this battle? Should you save it or not?
Feng Xiu's answer at that time was to save him.
Thinking back on this example at this time, he had to speculate, if it was a general, would he save it or not?
Just as he was thinking about this, Lin Ye strode in from outside, and Feng Xiu hurriedly greeted him.
Lin Ye said as he walked: "There is plenty of food and grass in Wu Tuo City, but weapons and armor cannot be supplied here."
He looked at Feng Xiu: "You call out the cavalry, I will lead the team out."
Feng Xiu quickly asked: "General, didn't you say that you should hold your troops for the time being?"
Lin Ye glanced at Feng Xiu: "I didn't say move towards Liyang City."
He walked over to the position and sat down: "Most of our cavalry were recruited from Dongbo. Together with the teams from the previous battalions, we totaled 10,000 people."
He pointed at the map: "Go north from Wu Tuo City and raise the flag of Beiye Army."
Feng Xiu was stunned for a moment.
Lin Ye said: "On the way, all the cities and places we passed will be plundered by the Beiye Army, or they have secretly taken refuge with Tuoba Lie, and these grain and grass supplies will fall into the hands of the Beiye Army. Since this is the case, why not
We took it."
Feng Xiu was a person who received serious training from the martial arts academy. Lin Ye's behavior made Feng Xiu feel wrong, at least at the level of benevolence, righteousness and morality.
Because the rebels will definitely rob them again, so we pretend to be rebels and rob them first?
He looked at Lin Ye and said: "If Tuoba Lie goes north and passes these places, he will know that we are here."
Lin Ye: "Go all the way north and come back after reaching Xian Tang. Anyway, we won't need cavalry to attack Liyang City. If Tuoba Lie hears the news, guess what he will think."
Feng Xiu thought for a while and replied: "Tuoba Lie probably thinks that our team is rushing north to help Xian Tang, and there is not much food supplies, so we snatch supplies all the way north."
Lin Ye: "Don't you understand this?"
Feng Xiu: "But..."
Lin Ye asked: "But it's okay? Do you feel sorry for yourself in your conscience?"
Feng Xiu: "I don't mean it this way. I feel...Yes, I do feel that I can't forgive it in my conscience."
Lin Ye: "So I'm going."
He looked at Feng Xiu and said: "After I lead the army north, you closely monitor the movements of the Beiye Army. Once the Beiye Army moves north, you wait ten days before attacking Liyang."
When he said the words "Ten Days", his tone was deliberately aggravated.
Feng Xiudao: "Subordinate... remember it."
Lin Ye said: "Repeat."
Feng Xiu stood solemnly and said: "Closely monitor the movements of the Beiye Army. If the Beiye Army moves north, we will attack Liyang City in ten days."
Lin Ye said: "Remember, even one day less will not be enough."
"yes!"
Feng Xiu agreed again.
Lin Ye said: "Go and help me assemble the team, and help me prepare the things I need."
Feng Xiu asked: "General, how many days of food and grass will you bring?"
Lin Ye said: "Five days."
Feng Xiu was stunned again: "Only bring five days of food and grass? General, this..."
Lin Ye said: "Just go and do it."
Feng Xiu had no choice but to agree and went out to send orders to assemble the cavalry battalions.
Lin Ye stood up, walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water. For no reason, the corners of his eyes twitched.
He subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed it. He was never superstitious, but at this moment he felt as if something bad was about to happen.
By the next day, Lin Ye had not received any news, and there was no news from all aspects. He was supposed to set off, so he ordered to wait for one more day.
On the third day, there was still no news, so Lin Ye personally led more than 12,000 cavalry to the north.
This cavalry is really too mixed, including Dongbo people, Guzhu people, soldiers from Kuizi Camp, Quezi Camp, Yun Guhong's soldiers, and Wu Lingwei's soldiers.
Lin Ye doesn't have that much time to train and integrate this team now. If he wants the team to get along well quickly, then go to war.
After the Dongbo War, Yuyu Chengchong's enemies were not just Lou Fan and Tuoba Lie.
Some people who were originally local frontier officials, seeing Dongbo in such a precarious state, also had the idea of turning their family into a country.
They recruited troops in their respective territories and stepped up training, all thinking that they could take advantage of the troubled times to achieve something successful.
Although Dongbo is not a big country, with tens of thousands of soldiers, it might be able to carve out a territory and proclaim itself emperor.
These people are Lin Ye's targets.
They don't have any decent soldiers in their hands, but they have supplies from the arsenals and treasuries in various places in Dongbo.
Lin Ye led his army north and fought with this cavalry all the way, as far as he could, and as many as he could without losing a single battle.
People will definitely die, but this is the fastest way to make this cavalry grow.
After Lin Ye led his army to leave Wu Tuo City, less than a day later, Monk Hua arrived.
Before arranging for them to go to Liyang City, Lin Ye had told them that if something happened, they would go in the direction of Longzhangtai and come and have a look when passing by Wutuo City. Maybe he would lead his troops here.
Monk Hua did not expect that the general's troops were really in Wutuo City, and he was originally going to Longzhangtai.
He did not expect that he would not be able to see the general in less than a day.
After Hua Monk entered the city, he found out that the Qiemang army was here, and then he learned that Wu Lingwei had been reorganized and was designated as Qiemang by His Majesty.
He hurried to the general's mansion. When he arrived, Feng Xiu happened to be going to the camp.
After listening to Monk Hua tell what happened, Feng Xiu felt very uncomfortable.
Three of the general's cronies died, and two died. Before that, two of the general's close friends died in Qinzhou.
"You said that Chen Weiwei is not dead?"
Feng Xiu looked at the carriage and asked in disbelief.
Monk Hua said: "I also know that this is nonsense, but he is indeed not dead. He is already a bloody gourd, but he is getting better and better day by day. I took him from Liyang City and walked here for more than ten days, and he
The trauma has actually scabbed over."
Feng Xiu asked in a low voice: "Is it possible that Tuoba Lie deliberately held back from killing?"
Monk Hua shook his head: "What we snatched out was indeed a corpse. All the meridians were broken, the flesh and skin were gone, and there was no breath at all."
Feng Xiu couldn't understand, so he went over to open the carriage and take a look.
Chen Weiwei is still unconscious in the car. These days, Monk Hua can only feed him some rice soup every day.
The man was bandaged up like a rice dumpling, but there were no visible injuries.
Only the nostrils and eyes were exposed on that face, and the eyes were still tightly closed.
Feng Xiu looked at it for a while, and with his level of cultivation, he really couldn't understand it.
So he asked Monk Hua: "Do you want to go back to Yunzhou, or do you want to go find the general? The general has only been out of the city for a day. You can catch up with two fast horses. If you go back to Yunzhou, I will arrange a team to escort him."
Monk Hua looked at Chen Weiwei: "Send him to Yunzhou, just... to Tianshuiya. Isn't this guy a disciple from Tianshuiya? The people in Tianshuiya will not ignore him."
He stretched out his hand and said, "Give me some dry food. I'm going to chase the general."
Feng Xiu nodded and said: "I will make arrangements for you. You go to eat first. I will prepare the horses, money and food for you, and then arrange for a team of cavalry to follow you."
He waved over his personal soldier, the captain: "You go and select a hundred people, bypass Liyang City, escort this person back to Yunzhou, and hand it over directly to the people in Tianshuiya."
The commander-in-chief immediately agreed.
Monk Hua glanced into the carriage, and then sighed: "In order to save him, I lost two of my best friends... I hope he can survive and don't let this time down."
Feng Xiu sighed, and the two of them turned and left.
In the carriage, Chen Weiwei's eyelids moved slightly. He heard it, but he didn't move or open his eyes, let alone say anything.
He was just thinking, is he going back to Tianshui Cliff?
Then what should I do with the Immortal Demonic Art of Chao Xin Sect...?
