Chapter 448: Layout
Under the city of Yanjing, the thunder cannons were intermittently placed all day, and various leaflets of the Mongolian army's defeat in Jingzhou were all over the city. Although the Anqing border army did not launch a fierce attack again, it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and always monitored the situation in the city. Once there was something unusual in the city, they could take advantage of the chaos to attack the city.
Yun Zhao did not expect Sima Ren to surrender to him. After all, the hatred between the two sides was too deep, and among his generals, including himself, the resentment with the Sima family could only be resolved with blood. One side was dead and died, and this breath finally came out. But he really hoped that Sima and the Mongolian tribe would have a conflict. If Sima had the intention of re-controlling Yanjing City, then his opportunity would come. Without the support of the Mongolian tent soldiers, the hope of breaking Yanjing City would be greatly increased by relying solely on the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Sima family.
But the facts disappointed Yun Zhao a little. The city was extremely calm. Yun Zhao understood that if this matter did not break out when the Mongolian army was defeated in the city, then every day, this hope would be even more slim.
In fact, Sima Ren was indeed thinking, but unfortunately, there was another Han Zhong in the city who saw everything very clearly. He entered Sima Mansion single, allowing Sima Ren to completely calm down his turbulent heart, and decided to go all out with the Mongolians and go to the darkness.
On the third day, the Anqing border army replaced the troops of Su Dingfang of the First Battalion and launched an attack on Yanjing again. The resistance of the Sima family troops this time became even more intense. Han Zhong's Sanqianxiangshan Prefecture army also participated in the defense this time, and Su Dingfang did not even step on the city wall.
Several main battle camps of Anqing border army attacked for several days without finding anything.
"There is no chance for the time being!" In the big tent, Yun Zhao weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to give up the attack on Yanjing. "If we fight hard, we will suffer a lot, and we don't have the capital to squander like this."
"General, let's just forget it. We can try it again and let our third battalion do it again!" Meng Yao stood up.
"Yes, General, I almost succeeded the last time. Let's try again!" Ding Qiu also stood up.
"No!" Yun Zhao shook his head, "There is no chance, we have more important things to do. General Hu Zehua!"
"The last one is here!" Hu Zehua stood up.
"Your old opponent is here!" Yun Zhao said with a smile.
"Tutuo?" Hu Zehua blurted out.
Yun Zhao nodded. "The news from the rank of the army was sent back, and Tuotuo led 30,000 cavalrymen from the headquarters and some small tribes gathered from the desert. They gathered 50,000 cavalry and had entered Yumen Pass."
Hu Zehua was ready to rub his hands, "It's great, general, I can deal with him well again. This kid remembers to eat and not beat him. Now I am strong."
"It's okay to fight!" Yun Zhao smiled and said, "But don't fight too hard."
"Why is this?" Hu Zehua was puzzled.
"Tutuo had been still moving before. He felt that he had no chance. Among the Mongolian tribes, he was a rising star, far from other tribes. But this time, he probably felt that the opportunity had come. 50,000 cavalry, he probably felt that the troops were strong!" Yun Zhao laughed, "Let him feel better about himself. Go, stare at him, and hit him a few times!"
Hu Zehua flattered his mouth, "Tutuo's headquarters itself was composed of more than a dozen tribes, and there were problems within itself. The combat power was much worse than the other Mongolian tribes. This time, 20,000 other small divisions were added, and the combat power was even worse. It was not that there were many people who had strong combat power. It would be a pity to not deal with such a good opportunity."
Yun Zhao snorted, "Don't worry, this person is far inferior to him. He led his troops to Yanjing. He would be arrogant if the villain succeeds. At that time, Wuda will deal with him, so let us save our energy!"
"I understand, general!"
"You held him until our military operation ended. General Park Demeng, your Yizhou camp cooperated with General Hu's battle. The Yizhou camp has not fought many tough battles. This is a good time to train troops."
Park Dem-meng stood up with a smile, "Yes, please give us more opportunities to the Yizhou camp!"
"It's easy to say!" Hu Zehua said with a smile.
Yun Zhao's eyes turned to Huo Zhenting, "General Huo, your 6th battalion immediately had troops from Pingyang Mansion. Guo Feng had already contacted Shi Gandang there. You cooperate with him to take down Pingyang Mansion. Pingyang produces iron ore and copper mines. Take him down. The Mongolian Yuan and one arm was cut off. The impact may not be great at the moment, but as time goes by, they will inevitably be unable to keep up with the consumption of copper and iron ore and other resources."
"Yes, General!" Huo Zhenting said with his fists.
"General Su Dingfang!"
"The last one will be here!"
"You lead the first battalion to recover the Luning area. The Luning area is a grain-producing area, and the grain production accounts for almost half of the entire Tanzhou. Taking it off is equivalent to cutting off another arm of the Mongolian Yuan."
"The last general will definitely live up to the general's expectations!" Su Dingfang said loudly.
"General Zhou Guangyi, your 7th battalion is responsible for guarding the road from Yanjing City to Yumen Pass. Tutuo comes to help. If he is blocked by General Hu, Yanjing City will inevitably be dispatched to respond. Your mission is to block the Yanjing army's attempt to attack General Hu before the war between Pingyang and Lu Ning ends."
"I will obey the order!"
"General Zhou, if the Yanjing City sends troops, it will definitely be their elite big tent soldiers. You must be careful to deal with it!"
"Don't worry, general, fight against the big tent soldiers in the field. The last general is not able to catch his strength, but if you hold it for a while, there will never be any problems." Zhou Guangyi said confidently.
"Meng Yao's third battalion and Xiao Yi's cavalry battalion continue to maintain certain pressure on Yanjing and make them have some concerns." Yun Zhao's eyes turned to Meng Yao and Yan Xiao Yi.
"As for order!" the two stood up.
"Mr. Yigong!" Yun Zhao turned his head to look at Ma Yigong. "Please go back to Xingling, and the entire Yizhou matter will be left to the teacher to coordinate for me."
"Is the general going?" Ma Yigong looked at Yun Zhao inquiringly.
"I'll go to Wang Qiang in Luzhou!" Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Maybe, we can make a deal with Barutu."
Ma Yigong nodded, "I understand the general."
"My generals, after occupying Pingyang and Luning areas, the troops will retreat immediately and hold these two areas. I believe that when the dust settles, our Anqing border army will become the most powerful force in the north. Wuda tried his best to obtain the sixteen northern states, but I am afraid that in his dream, he would never have thought that it would be cheaper for us in the end. The sixteen northern states will be our Anqing border army." Yun Zhao waved his fist vigorously.
The next day, Yun Zhao led his personal guard camp to leave Yanjing and run all the way to Luzhou. There, Wang Qiang's fourth battalion and Li Fugui's fifth battalion after the replenishment and repair, blocked Barutu in Luzhou. Barutu could not advance or retreat. Behind him were 400,000 troops from the Liang Su Cancheng Qun, who were besieging Aslan. If he didn't want to die, he would never march in that direction. Although there were only 50,000 people in front of him, he could not chew, smash, and swallowed a loud iron pea. Even though Han Jiang was defeated in the battle with Li Fugui, he led the remaining more than 10,000 infantry to join Balutu, but he still could not shake Wang Qiang and Li Fugui's blockade.
And in Pingyang Prefecture, a storm is brewing and fermenting.
Guo Feng was wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat. He stood in front of a mine with another tall man, enjoying the drizzle.
The man was a head taller than Guo Feng and his body was much wider. He was framed by Sima Rui in Huining area and almost died of the former Sima family's mighty general Shi Gandang.
After Shi Gandang escaped from Huining, he hid his identity and fled back to his hometown Pingyang Prefecture. He was born in this mining area and his ancestors were miners for several generations. Only when his generation joined the army, he finally got rid of the fate of poverty and became a famous general in Tanzhou. After becoming a general, Shi Gandang did not forget his hometown and often supported the villagers here. Since Shi Gandang made his debut, the Shi family has gradually accumulated a lot of wealth in the local area and became an influential figure. They fled back
After this, Shi Gandang immediately accumulated a group of people and fled into the mountains with his family, opening up guerrillas with the Mongolian people. As time went by, his power became increasingly stronger, especially after the founding of the Mongolian people, the army expanded sharply. The entire army's dressing was urgently needed a large amount of fine iron materials. In order to supply this huge demand, the driving and exploitation of miners in Pingyang Mining Area was extremely cruel, which also prompted more miners to escape, invisibly allowing Shi Gandang's team to continue to expand.
As the Sima family surrendered to the Mongolian people, a considerable number of Shi Gandang's old subordinates were unwilling to become Mongolian people's lackeys, and they abandoned the team and slowly gathered under Shi Gandang's command through different channels, allowing him to solve some extremely scarce grassroots officers. With the addition of these old subordinates, Shi Gandang's team, which could only be regarded as a bandit, finally gradually became like an army.
"General Shi, haven't you made up your mind yet?" Guo Feng looked at Shi Gandang with a smile, "The opportunity must not be missed, you will never come back. General Shi, you will not be willing to be a bandit for the rest of your life, right?"
Shi Gandang snorted coldly, "General Guo, it's not that I don't trust you, but this is just your family's words, without evidence. You must know that the people on this mountain are all my fellow villagers and relatives. They are not regular soldiers. Their combat effectiveness is very low. If what you say is untrue, once we go down the mountain, we will go without returning. Hanhu, which is stationed in Pingyang, is not so easy to deal with."
Guo Feng smiled and said, "Okay, I have the patience. I believe General Shi has sent someone to verify what I said. It won't take long. Before that, I hope General Shi can start some arrangements in advance. In this way, once we confirm what I said, we will not be so busy when we act."
"Don't worry about this. I have already made arrangements. As long as the opportunity is ripe, we will naturally be able to do it." Shi Gan Dang said.
"Then I'm relieved!" Guo Feng nodded. (To be continued...)
