Chapter 2 Yan Zhao Fengyun Section 27

Two days later, the troops arrived at Feiyun Mountain. Here, they were fifty miles away from Baoqiu River. Cross the Baoqiu River and then walk 150 miles northeast to Yuyang City.

"Brother Yu Xing, why haven't you seen the reinforcements you mentioned? According to the distance, they should have arrived before us." Li Hong said worriedly at the mountain that was gradually turning green.

Xian Yufu didn't say anything. He didn't know why the reinforcements had not arrived in Feiyun Mountain yet. This was the meeting place he and Yan Rou had made an appointment.

"Is Shi Yanrou, the military officer of Guangyang County you mentioned, very powerful?"

"Yan Rou Yan Ziyu is from Yuyang, just like me. He has both died since childhood. He joined the horse gang with several neighbors and made a living on the grassland. He is very familiar with the Wuwan people, Xianbei people, and Xiongnu people and can speak their words. Yan Ziyu is good at martial arts, good at riding and shooting, can shoot bows from left to right, and shoot arrows without any slightest. He is righteous, trustworthy, and robs the rich and helps the poor. He is a hero. People call him fire clouds on the grassland."

"Why is it called Huo Shaoyun?" Li Hong asked strangely.

"Yan Rou likes to wear a fiery red cloak. On the grassland, he takes his brothers to come and go like the wind like clouds, so he has such a nickname."

Li Hong nodded suddenly and turned around to ask Lei Zi standing beside him:

"Do you know this Fire Cloud?"

"He is like Hu Zi in the northern border, and he is very famous, with dozens of people under his command. A few years ago, he heard that he suddenly refused to be a horse thief and took his brothers back to the Han Kingdom to make a living. It turned out that he had become an official in the Han Kingdom."

"Beard knows him?"

"I don't know. The horse gangs usually don't know each other, they do their own things."

Li Hong smiled: "I really want to see him right away."

Yan Rou is indeed a hero. She is tall and burly, a little taller than Li Hong. She has a clear edge, a firm and strong face, and her deep eyes are full of wit and ferocity. Perhaps because she has been in the world since she was a child, he has obviously become more vicissitudes and maturity than her fellow men.

Li Hong and him fell in love with each other as soon as they saw each other, and immediately became familiar with each other. Compared with Xian Yufu, Yan Rou was cheerful and generous, and was unruly. Xian Yufu seemed restrained and steady, and much more polite.

"The reinforcements from Lucheng and Yongnu gathered too slowly and there were many infantry soldiers, so they really couldn't get up." After Yan Rou and Li Hong met, they immediately explained the reason for their late arrival.

"How many troops did Brother Ziyu bring?" Li Hong asked anxiously.

"There are 600 cavalry in Guangyang County. There are 200 cavalry in Lucheng and Yongnu City. The three places have a total of 1,000 infantry." Then Yan Rou called Dou Qiao, the county magistrate of the two cities, and Zhang Xun. When the two saw that the rumored leopard was smaller than Yan Rou, they showed an unbelievable look on their faces.

"It's not as powerful as your Youbeiping County, and you can have two thousand cavalrymen at one move, which is powerful." Yan Rou said with a smile.

Li Hong smiled bitterly, "Why are there so few?"

"The people of counties and states in various places do not believe that Yuyang City can be defended, so they put their main forces on defending their respective cities. According to convention, after the Hu troops entered the mainland, they generally stayed in the mainland for a short time because they were worried that the troops would not be able to keep up with the supply. Once they were blocked from attacking the city, they would plunder the countryside near the city and then retreat. Therefore, the adults from all over the country were not very active in sending troops to support them." Xian Yufu explained in a low voice.

"Aren't the rural people not the people of the man?" Li Hong said angrily, "Without them growing grain and weaving cloth, the people in the city would have starved to death and frozen to death."

"People, think about how to cross the river to fight, and don't be angry about these meaningless things. The people of Yuyang City are still looking forward to rescuing soldiers." Xian Yufu immediately persuaded in a low voice.

Li Hong angrily kicked the weeds on the ground and shouted loudly: "Go away and go to Baoqiu River."

Zheng Xin's scouts team soldiers returned one after another. The news they brought back was not good.

Murong Ji's army attacked the south gate of Yuyang City. Xiong Ba's troops had already reached the east gate of Yuyang City and were launching an attack. After Li Jianfeng led a five thousand army to Guangping, he had already left the city and was coming to Yuyang along the Baoqiu River.

The four thousand defenders in the city were led by the governor Liu Yu, the prefect of Yuyang He Yi, and the commander Tian Kai. The losses were relatively large on both sides.

The enemy's scouts were densely spread along the Bauchu River, and it was almost impossible to cross the river quietly.

With the authorization of the governor Liu Yu, the army's Sima Li Hong was fully in charge of commanding this army of more than 4,000 people. During the army's marching, Li Hong used Yan Rou's 600 cavalry as the front song, Xian Yufu's 400 cavalry plus two hundred cavalry in Lucheng, Yongnu City, and six hundred cavalry as the back song. Li Song was the army'shou, Dou Qiao and Zhang Xun were the left and right camps, leading one thousand infantry to follow behind the cavalry.

Zheng Xin arrived with a horse.

"Sir, there is a place suitable for troops to cross the river twenty miles. The terrain there is relatively hidden, the water flow is slow, but the river surface is slightly wider. But the enemy's scouts looked at it very tightly and could not cross the river secretly."

Li Hong nodded and then shouted to the messenger: "Come on the elder brother, please come."

Yan Rou looked at Tian Chong with her eyes wide open. There were such old soldiers in Li Hong's army. Xian Yufu quickly explained to him in a low voice. Yan Rou put away her contempt and looked at Tian Chong in her eyes.

"Old man, have you found the ship crossing the river? " Li Hong said with a smile.

"Sir, please rest assured. There are ships, but the number is too small. There are too many people in the army, and it will take at least one day." Tian Chong said cautiously.

"The long time crossing the river, it will definitely be exposed. The raid is probably difficult to achieve." Xian Yufu said to Li Hong.

"We can first send two or three hundred soldiers to attack the enemy scouts on the river bank and clear their stakes." Yan Rou said with an idea.

Li Hong didn't say anything. He took out the map from his arms, looked at it again and again, then pointed to a place on the map and asked Zheng Xin beside him, "Shouyan (Zheng Xin's word), is there a ferry here?"

"Yes. This place is sixty miles away from Yuyang City, and the Hu people pay great attention to it."

"Please wait for the troops. Order the troops to enter the mountains and forests to rest. The old man prepares the ships and we will cross the river tomorrow. The scout team will disperse immediately and clear the enemies within twenty miles." Li Hong immediately issued orders.

Lisong Feima arrived.

"Brother Changyi, you immediately lead the troops to this ferry overnight." Li Hong pointed to the map and said, "After you get there, build a bigger momentum, build more tents, and actively make an attitude of preparing to cross the river to attract the attention of the enemy scouts. As long as the enemy scouts gather in your place, the large army will start crossing the river from here."

Li Song nodded repeatedly.

Xian Yufu said in admiration: "Sir, this plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain is indeed very clever. Nearby enemies will be lured out of this area by the troops of the army, which is much easier than sending troops to search and kill them."

"This rescue of Yuyang City was mainly due to cavalry attacks, and the infantry had no place to use their skills for the time being. However, if the infantry participated in crossing the river, the crossing time would be longer, which would seriously affect the speed and concealment of the troops. So I want them to lure the enemy, paralyze the enemy, divert the enemy's attention, and cover the large army to cross the river secretly. What do you think?" Li Hong asked Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, Zhao Wen, and Tian Chong, who were standing around.

Everyone agreed in convincingly, no one raised any objections.

"But what should I add?" Li Hong asked again.

"After all the cavalry cross the river tomorrow, will the guards follow the main force, or will they go upstream with the ships and meet with the waiter of the army?" Tian Chong asked.

"Follow the main force. Now the number of troops is small, and it is good to have one more cavalry soldier. Changyi, you send a team of 100 people to stay. After we cross the river, let them take the ship to meet you."

"Sir, when will we cross the river?" Li Song continued.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we will start the operation early the morning after tomorrow. If everything goes well, you will not see the enemy's scouts near the Baoqiu River the afternoon after tomorrow. By that time, you will immediately cross the river and arrive at Yuyang City overnight to meet us."

Li Hong looked at Li Song and said with a smile: "Changyi, set off immediately. It takes more than three hours for the troops to march urgently. Remember, the momentum must be high, and the enemy must mistakenly think that you are the main reinforcements."

"Don't worry, sir. The official said goodbye." Li Song bowed and bowed and flew away.

Murong Ji frowned at the Yuyang City Tower, which was shockingly killing.

Since the siege of the city, the troops have been attacking intermittently for seven days, and the losses have reached more than 2,000 people. However, Xiong Ba's troops have been dragging and procrastinating until yesterday when they arrived at Yuyang City.

"How is Xiong Ba attacking at the East Gate?" Murong Ji asked the little coach Murong Lin beside him.

"Sir, fierce, very fierce. Lord Xiong Ba transferred all his troops to the ground today, as if he could not defeat Yuyang City today."

"According to the plan, his troops should have arrived in Yuyang four days ago and met us to attack the east gate and the south gate of Yuyang City at the same time. But his slow action and delayed the fighter plane, which caused us to lose many people in vain. Turning back to take Yuyang City, I will not cause trouble for him." Murong Ji said angrily.

"Sir, the guardian of Yuyang County is Tian Kai, the commander of Yuyang County. This man is very powerful. He has fought with the Wuwan people in the past and has won and lost each other. When Xiong Ba meets him, it will definitely be a fierce battle. If you don't need to cause trouble for him, Tian Kai is enough for him. Last year, he was beaten by a Tian surname in Lu Longsai and was wiped out. This time he met another surname in Tian, ​​and probably he couldn't get anything." Murong Lin said gloatingly.

"The Han people could not beat us on the plains, so they hurried in the city to defend themselves. They were useless and a group of cowards. If they had known that it was so difficult to fight in Yuyang City, I would not have come. I begged Murong Feng for such a good job, and it was really unlucky." Murong Ji remembered that he was humble and begged Murong Feng shamelessly. When he thought of Murong Feng's arrogant face, he was not very angry.

He is arrogant and domineering, so arrogant. When he was down and out, he was beaten and fled everywhere. If he hadn't known that this invasion of the Great Han Dynasty, who would have begged you? When I conquer Yuyang City, the wealth and women will be able to get enough money. Look at me, I'll just beg you.

Murong Ji and Murong Gu had great opinions about Murong Feng. The three of them were both the same tribe and both were the same ancestor. In the civil strife last year, both of them turned to Murong Feng at the last moment, and joined forces with the eastern Xianbei master Mika to kill the Red Sun tribe's army, making great efforts to stabilize the Xianbei country. But afterwards, not only did the king and others not reward them, but even Murong Feng ignored them. Although they had a ghost in their hearts and were not good at asking for rewards openly, they hated Murong Feng in their hearts.

This time Murong Feng launched an invasion of the Han Kingdom, and thousands of Xianbei tribes in the central Xianbei region actively asked to participate. This is a beautiful person. Every time the Xianbei people attacked the Han Kingdom, they could return with a full load and make a fortune. The Han Kingdom was rich, and they would burn, kill and loot, and the money they obtained was enough for an ordinary tribe to live for a year or two. Therefore, Murong Ji and Murong Ke could not bear the temptation of huge wealth on them. They were shameless and went to Huoyunyuan to visit Murong Feng in person.

Murong Feng finally gave them the same clan a face and promised to compensate them for the losses they lost after the Xingmengyuan War last year, so that they could organize an army to take the lead in capturing Yuyang City. All the property, women and children in the city were their spoils. They were excited and excited. The two of them smiled happily and returned to the tribe happily. They summoned the tribe leaders who were close to them and gathered up six thousand troops. Then they met with the two thousand army of the Coyote Tribe in Baitan City. Eight thousand people ran wildly and directly killed Yuyang City.

Unexpectedly, things were far beyond their expectations. The grassland knights who lost the war horses also lost the advantage of winning the battle. Although they also made preparations and prepared a large amount of siege equipment, the nations on the horses were indeed not very good at siege cities. As a result, they could not conquer for a long time, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly damaged, which became a stalemate.

Murong Ji felt a little uneasy.

Last year, Lu Longse's crushing defeat completely shattered the myth of the undefeated Xianbei people.

Since the Sunset War and the Great Win of the Xianbei Kingdom, this is the first time that the Xianbei people have suffered in eight years, and it is a complete defeat. Although the Han defenders of Lulongsai were also wiped out, there were only less than 2,000 people, and our side is a coalition of the Wuwan and Xianbei people, with 11,000 people. Such a huge gap in strength, but the outcome is so unbelievable. Is God no longer favoring the brave Xianbei people?

The battle between Lu Longsai not only severely damaged the confidence of the Xianbei people, but also created a hero who emerged from nowhere. This man was called Li Hong and the Hu people called Leopard. It was this man who chopped off a fierce knife on the defeated Xianbei people, which made the Xianbei people taste the pain of annihilation for the first time.

Murong Ji was familiar with him. When Murong Feng fled the tiger cave last year, his name began to appear in the mouths of the Xianbei people. By the time he fled from the Xianbei, he was already a legendary figure that caused a sensation in the northern border.

This person has become a nightmare for the Xianbei people. Could it be that he has taken away God's favor for the Xianbei people?

"grown ups……"

Suddenly, a rapid voice interrupted Murong Ji's random thoughts. He woke up suddenly and looked back.

"Sir, the leopards in Lulongsai have led their troops to the Baoqiu River, sixty miles away from Yuyang City."
