(I am too busy during this period and have to work overtime even on weekends. It is really difficult to update on time. I have been working hard and strive to update twice a day. Please forgive me!)

Whether to fight Xie Shilin or Congliang is indeed a dilemma. Although Xie Shilin has strong troops, the terrain in Jingzhou is actually more suitable for the Northern Army's style of fighting. The flat terrain is an excellent battlefield for the Mongolian cavalry.

, the last time the Mongolian army was defeated, there were many factors. This time, the Mongolian cavalry cooperated with the infantry of the Northern Army, and they will be invincible.

Li. Maybe Xie Shilin will go out of the city to fight with the Northern Conquest Army in the beginning, but after suffering losses, he will definitely defend the city. At this time, the galloping cavalry will cut the opponent's communication lines and divide the opponent into isolated cities.

, and then the infantry of the Northern Expeditionary Army swarmed up. With the sharp weapons of the Northern Expeditionary Army, they were not afraid of not being able to attack the city wall.

But what Han Zhong said makes sense. Xie Shilin is different from a conscientious person. He is more like himself. Separating one party may be his most desired choice. If he provokes him for no reason, he will definitely provoke his counterattack. The war may become stalemate.

.

The biggest blow to Li Xiao was to fight Congliang and effectively eliminate the hardcore troops loyal to Li Xiao. But is Congliang so easy to fight? I have dealt with Congliang before. He is an excellent general with strategic and tactical vision.

Not bad at all, this

People are entrenched in Xiangzhou, and the terrain of Xiangzhou is much more dangerous than that of Jingzhou. Needless to say, Xiaowei's combat effectiveness is definitely a formidable opponent. If we choose such an opponent in the first battle, once the war is frustrated, will it damage Zhengbei?

Where is the morale of the army?

Yun Zhao really couldn't make a decision.

Although Yun Zhao has not yet made up his mind about where to attack first, preparations for war in the North are still proceeding in an orderly manner. The debate among senior officials of the Zhengbei Mansion is still continuing. Neither of the two factions can convince the other, and in the end they can only turn their attention to

Yun Zhao has never made a final decision.

While waiting, another piece of information from Jiangnan that shocked the entire Northland finally helped Yun Zhao make up his mind.

Congliang defeated Yan Xiaoyi in Ganzhou. After defeating Yan Xiaoyi, he successfully plotted against the troops of the 8th Battalion that Zhou Guangyi sent out in a hurry to rescue Yan Xiaoyi. After Zhou Guangyi lost more than 3,000 people, he retreated.

After returning to Xingqing, this stronghold must not be lost. As for Yan Xiaoyi, he can only count on himself.

From the perspective of Zhengbei Mansion, what was more serious was not that Congliang defeated Yan Xiaoyi and Zhou Guangyi, but that he successfully cut off the connection between Ganzhou and Shaanxi. In other words, the Beidi and Southern Group Pu Demeng were defeated.

separated. Now, Congliang

He is leading the left wing of Xiaowei to attack Shaanzhou. Shaanzhou does not have many troops and cannot stop the opponent's mad attack. The fall is only a matter of time. Once Congliang takes over the entire territory of Shaanzhou, Pu Demeng's situation will be very bad. He will suffer

The Confederate army attacked from several sides.

The debate in the North came to an abrupt end. There was no need to argue. The attack target of the Northern Army had been determined.

In the meeting hall, Yun Zhao's face was as dark as water. He has never faced such a situation since he raised the army. It is not an exaggeration to describe his current situation as advancing, retreating and losing ground.

Cong Liang led the Xiaowei left group to sweep across Ganzhou and entered Shaanzhou, while the Xiaowei right group and the Xiangzhou town army built forts and strongholds in Xingqing, setting up a stand-alone stance and blocking the way for the reinforcements of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

On the way, if you want to rush out, you must defeat them first. In other words, once you cross the river, the Northern Expedition Army will face a series of well-defended fortresses.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was solemn. If the situation could not be saved, the southern group of the Northern Expeditionary Army was likely to face the danger of annihilation. That was an army of more than 100,000 people.

"How on earth did Yan Xiaoyi's more than 10,000 cavalrymen be defeated by the good infantry?" Jamuka asked angrily. What the cavalry wants is to come and go like the wind, like thunder and lightning. Generally speaking, the infantry wants to

It is extremely difficult to trap cavalry. In infantry and cavalry battles, more often than not, the cavalry chooses the battlefield. The infantry can only choose to defend passively and wait for opportunities to counterattack.

Jamuhe's tone was not good, but it annoyed Meng Yao who was ordered to rush back to Xingling. Even if Yan Xiaoyi lost the battle, he was still an old friend of people like him. When will it be Jamuhe's turn to say something, he sneered: "

Is there anything strange about this? General Jamuka, have you forgotten how tens of thousands of soldiers were defeated by Cheng Qun on the banks of the Cangjiang River?

?The large tent soldiers are even better than Yan Xiaoyi's cavalry, and Lin Ya's commanding ability is even more unparalleled than that of General Yan Xiaoyi. It is not that the entire army is destroyed. Under certain conditions, the infantry can easily

Defeat the cavalry, not to mention that although General Yan is defeated now, he still retains some strength, so he has no chance of making a comeback."

Being choked by Meng Yao, Jamuhe's face turned red. Lin Ya had been tricked by Cheng Qun back then because he was unfamiliar with the topography of Jingzhou and was lured into the wetlands of Tengchong by Cheng Qun. The muddy wetlands made it difficult for the cavalry to move.

, let alone coming and going like the wind, it is good to be able to move, and he was surrounded by Cheng Qun with superior troops, which led to the destruction of the entire army. However, the Northern Expedition Army has controlled Ganzhou for a long time, how could Yan Xiaoyi do this?

Kind of a mistake?

He took a deep breath and was about to retort. Yaerdan, who was sitting behind Yun Zhao, shook his head slightly. Jamuka swallowed back the words that were on the edge of his throat and just stared at Meng Yao angrily. Meng Yao also

Don't show any weakness, just stare back at him.

"There is no need to argue. The Zifang Division has reported back the specific situation of this defeat. General Yan Xiaoyi underestimated the enemy. Congliang lured him into the ambush circle that had been arranged. He suddenly used force and Xiaoyi was caught off guard. He was able to

It was good to break out of the encirclement. Now he is stationed in Jiangxia, Ganzhou to gather the scattered troops. When the spies from the Staff Division came back, he had already gathered them.

There are about five thousand cavalry, but supply is difficult. Everyone knows that the consumption of cavalry is too great, and he is no longer able to attack. Congliang only needs a small number of troops to seal him in Jiangxia." The consumption of cavalry is astonishing, especially

War horses cannot charge into battle after eating a few handfuls of grass. Without enough food for war horses, these war horses will lose their combat effectiveness within a few days.

But what surprised everyone even more was that Yan Xiaoyi actually lost nearly half of his cavalry. This could be said to be a complete defeat.

"Now is not the time to hold people accountable. We must turn this situation around. Su Dingfang, your Anqing battalion immediately moves to Luzhou, crosses the river and enters Xingqing, and prepares to launch an attack."

"I will obey your orders!"

"Wang Qiang!"

"The end is here!" Young Wang Qiang stood up suddenly, with excitement on his face.

"After the Anqing Battalion crosses the river, your fourth battalion will cross the river immediately as the second echelon."

"As you command!"

"This time, I will personally cross the river to Xingqing to command this battle." Yun Zhao looked at everyone, "I will lead the third batch of the personal guard battalion to cross the river. After Su Dingfang crossed the river, he immediately launched an attack on the right side of Xiaowei.

The attack, no matter how difficult it is, must be fought."

"Yes, the final general will definitely break the barrier and rescue General Yan!" Su Dingfang said firmly.

Yun Zhao shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not that easy. Congliang has been planning for a long time, but we were all fooled by him. Xiaowei has been preparing for a long time, and what he is preparing for is our strong attack. Wang Qiang, after your fourth battalion arrives in Xingqing,

First station in Xingqing, wait for me to cross the river, and then take orders at the tent!"

"Understood." Wang Qiang nodded.

When everyone heard Yun Zhao's arrangement, they all understood that Yun Zhao must have other plans, but they didn't know what exactly Yun Zhao was going to do now? But everyone knew that this time their Zhenbei King's undefeated victory would definitely come true.

encountered the most serious challenges.

Listening to Yun Zhao calling the troops to assign tasks, but did not call Lucheng Camp alone, Meng Yao couldn't help but become a little anxious. His Lucheng Camp had always been the vanguard of the Northern Army.

His position in the Northern Army was achieved through the most difficult and hard battles. Among the Northern Army, Meng Yao's qualifications were the oldest and the toughest.

"Your Majesty, where am I?" Meng Yao suddenly jumped up.

"The Lucheng camp will be transported to Jingzhou by the navy after we cross the river." Yun Zhao said: "Zamuka, get out of here!"

"The last general is here!" The two Meng generals stood up together, "You will also cross the river with Meng Yao's troops to invade Jingzhou."

"My lord, do you want to fight in both places?" Yao Changkun took a breath.

"It is of course impossible to fight two places at the same time, but I have to be on guard against Xie Shilin's possible moves. Xie Shilin has an army of 100,000 in Jingzhou, Yuzhou and other places. I can't relax at all. Even if this person has to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers,

But if he gets the chance, he will never let go of biting us. The cavalry of Jamuka and Tuoli are of great use in Jingzhou. As long as they appear in Jingzhou, I believe Xie Shilin will not move around at will."

"Your Majesty, in this case, why should I go to Jingzhou? Why don't you let me go to Xiangzhou too!" Meng Yao asked loudly.

Yun Zhao glared at him, "Do you think I asked you to go to Jingzhou to watch the theater? Xie Shilin wanted to find a weakness in us, why didn't I want to find his life gate? Jamuka and Tuoli kept harassing and attacking,

You watch from the sidelines, and once you find your opponent's vitality gate, you immediately pounce on it and tear off a bite of flesh."

Hearing that Yun Zhao's tone was somewhat unkind, Meng Yao sat down angrily and whispered: "That's not a partial teacher!"

"Hu Zehua, your second battalion will cross the river after Meng Yao and land at Tengchong. Take Tengchong and wait for my order!" Yun Zhao said.

"I will obey your orders!"

"General Huo Zhenting!" Yun Zhao turned his eyes to another veteran.

"The end is here!"

"This time, your troops will stay in Xingling and be responsible for the logistics transfer. Once we cross the river, the logistics line will be stretched very long. We can't make any mistakes!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Yun Zhao nodded to the generals and stood up, "Other gentlemen, I will leave other matters in the North to you. The troops and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first. We are fighting on the front line. I hope that the rear will be our strongest support."
