Chapter 61: Fighting back step by step

When Meng Jiucheng received a Pegasus news from Wang Min and learned that the Jin army who came to aid was relatively strong in terms of military strength and were all cavalrymen, he immediately summoned the generals to conduct an military discussion.

If it was just blocking the attack on the junction, the more than 6,000 Red Turban Army troops could resist it. But the Jin army was not a fool, and would be so persistent that it would hit the head and burst into blood.

According to the strength and branches of the Jin army, they could take a detour and plagiarize. Wouldn't the Red Turban Army, which was gathered in the lancet, be in danger of being cut off from the rear?

Even Yang Miaozhen, who was anxious to take revenge, agreed with this concern. After all, at Lantou, the Red Coat Army had a great defeat, which was caused by plagiarism and division by the Jin army.

"Our army is indeed not suitable to advance towards Lantou anymore." Yang Miaozhen pointed on the map with his finger, "If the Jin army goes south after going south in Weizhou, it will be unstoppable. Anqiu will also be very dangerous, after all, there are not many defenders in the city."

When Han Shouzhong saw Meng Jiucheng coming to question, he coughed dryly and said, "Meng Shuai and Deputy Manager Yang's concerns make sense. The so-called enemy changes and I will change. Since the situation is not as we expected, it is necessary to make timely adjustments."

Although it was not explained in detail, I also agreed to stop moving forward and adjust the deployment.

Meng Jiucheng nodded and said, "Since that's the case, our army seems to be divided into two parts. One is here to respond to the retreat of the Lantou troops, and the other is to retreat and occupy the road south of Weizhou."

As he said that, he drew a hand on the map and continued, "When our army all meets, they will fight step by step, consume the enemy continuously, and fight and retreat to Anqiu. Then, our army can defend the Wenshui River according to the situation, or stand firm in Anqiu. Wait until the enemy is tired and frustrated, and then strike back."

This is probably the safest and most conservative way of playing. Even if the Jin army is not exhausted and cannot bear the losses, it will not be able to continue food, supplies and materials, and it will become the last of its strength when it comes to Anqiu.

"Then we will build fortifications in Cuijia Town to support Wang Junshi and others." Han Shouzhong said: "Meng Shuai led his army to retreat temporarily and select a place to set up defense."

"Then I'll have to do it for General Han." Meng Jiucheng reached out and clicked the map, saying: "Jingshanwa Town guarded the southern route of Weizhou, and Deputy General Yang and I led our army to garrison here. In addition, it is also a way to deal with the Jin cavalry, strengthening the walls and clearing the fields."

"I will understand." Han Shouzhong nodded and agreed.

The cavalry is mobile, but the materials are limited. If there is no place to rob and raise funds, it cannot fight for a long time. This is reflected in dealing with Pusanliu's family and Wanyan's false opinion.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Meng Jiucheng is timid or cautious.

Anyway, Meng Jiucheng felt that the purpose of restraining Pusan ​​Anzhen and supporting Li Quan's rebel army had already achieved, and he really didn't want to fight the Jin army to death.

If you persist for a while, the general situation will change, and the Jin army will inevitably shrink as a whole, which is equivalent to giving up Shandong halfway.

At that time, the Red Turban Army was the time for the massive development of cities and land. If there were heavy losses in the battle with the Jin army now and the good opportunity was here, I would probably not be able to seize it.

The adjustment was decided, and the generals went to make arrangements and sent a quick horse to send a message to Wang Min and other generals.

After receiving the order, Wang Min had no objection. Because the Jin army slowed down its offensive in front of him, it seemed that something was going wrong.

Although it is not known whether the Jin army wants to copy, it is certain to be strictly guarded. Therefore, after Wang Min and others discussed, they bluffed the flag and left only a small number of cover troops, and then retreated quietly overnight.

By the early morning, most of the troops led by Wang Min had arrived in Cuijia Town and met with Han Shouzhong's troops.

After noon the next day, Wang Min led his troops to rest and continued to retreat. In the evening, he came to Jingshanwa Town and met Meng Jiucheng and Yang Miaozhen.

On the third day, after breakfast and after a short rest, Yang Miaozhen and Wang Min led their troops to retreat and stationed troops in Liujiayao Town, seven or eight miles south of Jingshanwa Town.

Besides, when the Jin army found that the enemy troops on the opposite side were retreating quietly, it was already dawn. Huang Zhua Aruda immediately rushed to chase him, but the vanguard was ambushed on the official road north of Cuijia Town, with hundreds of casualties.

When the Jin army brigade arrived, Han Shouzhong had withdrawn his ambush troops and used the trenches and fortifications built in the town to resist.

After the two attacks failed, Huang Zhua Luda did not dare to attack again. Because not only the defenders' weapons were sharp, the Jin army also did divide their troops and plagiarize, resulting in some insufficient troops.

Lantou, an ambush outside the border, attacked Cuijia Town. The Jin army suffered nearly 500 casualties in the two battles, and it was difficult to play its strengths.

Huang Zhua Aruda suspended the attack, waiting for the plagiarism troops to come and meet, and adjusted the arrangements, preparing to send troops to detour and capture the enemy's back.

But he did not expect that the defenders suddenly retreated, just during the day, under the eyes of the Jin army.

Huang Zhua Luda immediately seized the fighter's plane and sent troops to attack the town, preparing to deal a heavy blow to the retreating enemy.

But the development of the matter was beyond his expectations again. The defenders seemed to have abandoned half of the town, but they arranged ambushes in the town and all the firearms helped.

The counterattack was so fierce, with flying thunder cannons and stone throwers bombarding, and pine tree cannons showing their might in the narrow streets to open the way, and the unpredictable crossbow arrows shot from the houses, as well as the battle formations that were pushed forward like a forest.

Although the Jin army fought tenaciously, they did not resist the opponent's fierce attack, and hundreds of people rushed into the town suffered heavy casualties.

Ambush, counterattack, Huang slaps Aruda realizes that the generals on the other side are even more powerful.

But he didn't know that Han Shouzhong was a veteran in the Red Turban Army, and his understanding and use of troops was higher than that of Wang Min and others.

The Jin army suffered consecutive setbacks and their morale was a little depressed. Huang slaughtered Aruda to calculate the strength of the troops and no longer dared to launch a fierce attack.

The retreat of the defenders was when the Jin army temporarily lost their desire to attack. Starting from darkness, small groups of troops quietly drove out of the town and retreated to Jingshanwa Town.

Because the Red Turban Army is mostly infantry, Meng Jiucheng sets the distance before the garrison, and can arrive soon after a distance of more than ten miles.

In this way, the troops will not be too tired, but will also reduce the enemy's advantage in pursuit.

After repeated reconnaissance and testing, Huang Zhua Lu's army occupied Cuijia Town without any gains. Even the people in the town were forcibly moved away, empty and had nothing.

At this time, most of the Red Turban Army had already been met in Jingshanwa Town, and the Jin army had completely guarded the route to Anqiu.

In Liujiayao Town, south of Jingshanwa Town, the troops led by Yang Miaozhen and the troops sent by Anqiu are building a second line of defense.
