Chapter 54 The decisive battle is imminent

In order to deal with the harassment of the Xianbei cavalry, Liu Bogen asked some infantry and cavalry to form a small square formation and scattered it to the surrounding area, using an insurgent bow with a longer range than the Xianbei cavalry cavalry. Although this slowed down the marching of the team, he finally won back his control of the battlefield ahead.

Because it was already the hottest time of the whole day, Liu Bogen simply gave up and continued to move forward and began to camp on the spot, thinking that he would continue to move forward tomorrow. Otherwise, if he continued to move forward, it would greatly consume the soldiers' physical strength and might also bump into the Jin army head-on.

Liu Bogen felt that the continuous marching and fighting in the Youzhou Jin army would have consumed a lot of physical energy. Recently, it has sent so many Xianbei cavalry to harass him desperately, because he did not want to fight with him so quickly.

After the order to camp the entire army, the Donglai Army chose a zone close to rivers and woods, which facilitates tens of thousands of troops to obtain water and pick wood.

The scouts scattered far ahead also returned. Most of the Xianbei cavalry had retreated, and only a very small number of cavalry were still hanging from a distance to observe the movements of the Donglai Army.

Half an hour later.

Just when the camping Donglai Army had just completed a simple camp, the front vanguard of the Donglai Army reported to Liu Bogen that thousands of Xianbei cavalry reappeared five or six miles ahead of the Donglai Army, with an estimated number of about 4,000. Following closely behind, a large area of ​​dust appeared due to large-scale marching. Because of the protection of the Xianbei cavalry, the scouts of the Donglai Army could not approach and check it.

Liu Bogen hurriedly summoned Wang Mi and other generals and rushed forward to check in person.

When Liu Bogen and Wang Mi and his group marched forward for two or three miles, they encountered a large number of scouts of the Donglai Army who fled back. There were many Xianbei cavalry chasing behind them. It was obvious that a fierce battle had just begun.

Liu Bogen was angry and immediately grabbed a general who was running back to the front of the Donglai Army.

"Why don't you form a formation!"

Liu Bogen thought that as long as these cavalry and infantry formed an array, how could these Xianbei cavalry who used bows to defeat them?

"The formation has been formed, but these Xianbei slaves did not shoot arrows as far away as they did in the morning, but formed a formation to attack our formation. The momentum is terrifying and indestructible. Brothers really can't stand it."

The general of the Donglai Army said with a sad face.

It turned out that when the Xianbei cavalry saw the Xianbei cavalry reappear again, the Donglai army, which had already formed a formation and wanted to retreat slowly to join the large army. Everyone thought that these Xianbei cavalry would use "cavalry and shooting" to harass them as far away as in the morning.

Unexpectedly, there were suddenly a cavalry with thousands of men and horses in armor. After a hundred steps away from the Donglai Army, they activated their war horses to charge. Under the astonishing cavalry impact, the Donglai Army was defeated without even blocking the first attack.

At this time, Liu Bogen and the others also saw the Xianbei cavalry. From a distance, many Xianbei cavalry without armor were just wearing thin linen clothes.

The Xianbei riders who had just formed a formation to assault were wearing various varied thin cloth coats to prevent the sun from shining directly on the armor. Otherwise, the iron armor would turn into iron plates with hot flesh, so there must be iron armor under the coat.

The mounts of these armored Xianbei riders were only wearing a few pieces of colorful cowhide armor on their chests and necks, and were not as indestructible as the retreating Donglai Army general described just now.

Liu Bogen shouted loudly and ordered his personal soldiers to take the defeated Donglai Army general to wait for the defeat.

The Xianbei cavalry had long discovered Liu Bogen and other newly emerging Donglai Army, so they gave up on continuing to pursue the defeated Donglai Army vanguard.

Behind them, through the dust, many vague flags were already seen coming towards Liu Bogen and the others in a fierce manner.

"Youzhou soldiers!"

A Liu Bogen's clan general was a little surprised. According to the time when the Jin army appeared here, it should be that when the Donglai Army had just left Linzi City, these Jin troops were about to come to the front.

"These enemies are not fools, and they cannot wait to fight against Xi'an City."

Wang Mi felt that it was a big mistake to regard these Youzhou soldiers as chubby like Qingzhou soldiers before.

"It's useless to say more, go back quickly to meet the enemy."

Liu Bogen said with a stern expression.

"The thieves are coming in full force. Why don't we go back to Linzi quickly and defend with the city wall."

A general from Donglai said timidly.

"fart!"

Liu Bogen angrily rebuked when he heard this, but when he saw that the person who was speaking was his clan general, he suppressed his anger in front of Wang Mi and other outsiders.

"If you run more than twenty miles to Linzi, you will definitely become a fleeing if you retreat. The thieves have thousands of horse troops. If you dare to say more, you will definitely kill them!"

Immediately, Liu Bogen led the generals to return, asking the entire army to form a formation to face the incoming Youzhou Jin army.

······

On May 21st, in the evening, Liu Zhou, who was in Ju County, saw Liu Bogen's personal soldiers coming from Linzi.

After hearing the content of the order given by Liu Bogen, Liu Yu felt it was incredible. In his impression, the Jin army in Youzhou launched a large-scale attack on Linzi, which eventually led to Liu Bogen's defeat and death. This was simply the most difficult problem in his rebel rebellion.

However, in the order Liu Bogen gave him, Liu Bogen had no premonition of defeat. Instead, he felt that he would win, and even wanted his own people who went out to guard to return quickly and continue to grab territory after defeating the Jin army. This contrast with Liu Yu's inherent impression was too incredible.

Liu Yu criticized the soldiers who were sent to the order for a long time and confirmed that Liu Bogen did not experience hysteria and was not bewitched by any master who jumped into the great god.

Since Liu Bogen was so sure to win in the order, Liu Yu felt that because of his appearance, like a butterfly on the street, gently stirred up the changes in the world and changed the original historical trend.

After Liu Yu summoned Gongsun Sheng and Dong Ping, he told Liu Bogen's order. Of course, he could not mention the deviation between this scene and the memories of later generations.

After discussing with everyone, everyone happily decided to lead the army to Linzi. Of course, it was not because everyone suddenly wanted to unite closely around the Xigong, but because they stayed in Ju County again, everyone might be hungry.

All the prefecture-canceled warehouses in Beihai, Le'an, Dongguan and Chengyang, including Ju County, have been plundered by the Donglai Army that had passed by before. Now Liu Yu is stationed in Ju County because there is still some food and food in the warehouse here. I heard that in the warehouse of Beihai County, which he is about to take office, let alone grain, even the warehouse itself was destroyed by the previous Donglai Army after entering the city.

After hearing that the Jin army in Youzhou was starting from Jinan County and was in a state of power, they closed their doors to thank the guests and made excuses from all the envoys sent by Liu Yu to fight Qiu Feng. It was obvious that these fencemen were about to start watching again.

But Liu Yu didn't dare to be tough, because these gentry and powerful men had already communicated in a series of ways, and I'm afraid the strength they united was enough to crush Liu Yu's three or four thousand people.

Since Liu Bogen is so enthusiastic and confident, it is better to go to Linzi again. Of course, we can't hurry up, but go to Dong'anping first to wait and see. If Liu Bogen does defeat the Youzhou soldiers, then enter Linzi again.

If Liu Bogen is defeated, then simply move all the grain in the warehouse stored by Liu Bogen in Dong'anping City.
