Chapter 610: The Battle of Exterminating Yan (2)


In many cases, what the subordinates do will be regarded as the boss did it, so that the boss can always get some inexplicable good name or bad name.

Ran Min is an indifferent mentality about whether to set fire or not, he knows very well that even if he really crosses the river, with the terrain on the east bank of Qiushui, coupled with the fact that there are at least tens of thousands of Murong Yan troops around, the difficulty of completing a rapid breakthrough is not ordinarily high, especially the commander who commands Murong Yan's army is Murong Ke.

The Han army has already begun to launch rockets, and as the background is that the movement in the forest is very large, and I don't know how many Murong Yanjun's infantry and cavalry are noisily retreating to the rear.

After the rocket was launched, there was no fire at first, because the snow and ice had just melted, the plants themselves were full of life, there were not many dead leaves or weeds to burn, and the front of the forest was not sprinkled with fierce fire oil.

Counting from the time when the Han army began to launch rockets, the Han army later learned that Murong Yanjun took the initiative to retreat and stop firing arrows, and it was about two quarters of an hour later that smoke suddenly began to rise in the depths of the forest.

It was a kind of smoke coming out of multiple locations, not smoke from one location and then spreading to the periphery, the Han army did not take any action, it can be seen that Murong Yanjun took the initiative to burn the forest.

It was indeed Murong Ke who ordered the burning of the forest, and Murong Yanguo wanted to gain more time for transferring, and what means could be used to delay the advance of the Han army, that is, what means were used.

Murong Yanguo wants to transfer, it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country is moving, they will have to fight a lot of wars after moving to a new area, and the number of troops they can save must not be lost, and it is undoubtedly a very suitable behavior to set fire to the forest to stop the advance of the Han army.

With the help of fierce fire oil, the fire quickly spread, and under the cloudless clear weather, the thick smoke rising from the ground burning was extremely eye-catching, and the smoke was swept towards the Han army's garrison because it was a southwest wind.

"It's unlikely, but you're going to be prepared."

Chen Zhan said that Murong Yan's army would not attack with the thick smoke, so he ordered: "Pay close attention to the deployment, and spread the sentry as far as possible." ” Zhang Hou knew that Chen Zhan's worries were not superfluous, so he prudently responded to the "promise" to personally go down to set up defenses.

The four pontoon bridges were crossing the river on foot at all times, and the first people to come over, some to thicken the defensive chain of the front, and some to clear the grass and trees with the tools they had prepared in advance, in order to increase the space of the camp.

In addition to using pontoon bridges to cross the river, the Han army was actually constantly using boats to send troops from the west bank of Qiushui to the east bank, making this section of the river look like a busy scene from a high altitude.

"Murong Ke took the initiative to retreat and set fire" Ran Min had already seen the smoke rising from the depths of the forest on the east bank of Qiushui, and knew that it was not the Han army before he got the report, after all, the range of the Han army's bow and crossbow was long, but not so far as to exaggerate: "This is the first general of the Yan army" Ran Min is half-contemptuous and half-appreciative attitude, it will be so complicated is that from the perspective of a fierce general, he feels that Murong Ke does not belong to the blood of a martial artist, and then from the perspective of a commander, he feels that Murong Ke's choice is very rational.

In a short period of a few years, the Han State successively attacked and destroyed several countries, not to mention the near, the Tuoba Dynasty did not fight to remove the country first, and the Zhang Liang State only lost the Jincheng to return to the Han Dynasty, so that the Han State from the military morale can be said to be in the sky, then the enemy country of the Han State will be a different scene.

"So many countries have been finished under the soldiers of the Great Han, and there is information that Murong Xianbei is migrating on a large scale, it is not difficult to guess what will happen next."

Liu Yi smiled and touched his chin, and said, "It's just you, I won't take the initiative to ask the center, if you don't have a reminder from the captain, you probably won't think about it."

It's just that the center didn't inform you, shouldn't you pay attention to this?"

Ran Min kept waving his hand when he heard this: "Think so much, say so much, what you do to face the enemy is nothing more than doing, either you die or I die." ” The smile on Liu Yi's face immediately stiffened, and then his cheeks twitched constantly, feeling that it was really enough to have such a master, not to mention that he had no political sense of smell, and even paying attention to the overall situation would be very fatal.

It's not that he didn't remind, it should be said that there are quite a lot of reminders, but Ran Min still goes his own way.

The billowing smoke was swept by the southwest wind, and soon enveloped the Han army on the bank, gradually covering the surface of the Qiushui River, and even spreading towards the west bank.

Fortunately, the Han army discovered the situation early and stepped up to prepare a moist cloth strip for the soldiers to cover their mouths and noses, but they couldn't cover their eyes.

"It's terrible" Liu Yan couldn't see the situation on the east bank of Qiushui through the smoke, and turned his head to ask Xu Zheng: "The Yan army has fully retreated" Xu Zheng also frowned, and after answering Liu Yan's question, he said: "Your Majesty, why don't you leave only a few troops behind, and the rest withdraw."

The forest area on both sides of the hill is very wide, and long before the intention of setting fire to the forest, the seasonal wind direction has been investigated, according to the Han army's side, it is necessary to burn the forest when the wind direction is appropriate, but obviously not everything will follow the rhythm of the Han army.

"It will be possible to change the direction of the wind tomorrow."

Sang Yu stared at the thick smoke and said, "It's also possible that the wind direction won't change. ” In fact, it is quite speechless and tangled, just sent the troops over, and has to order a temporary withdrawal, which will undoubtedly affect morale, but it is better than unnecessary casualties, and Liu Yan also ordered the troops on the east bank to withdraw to the west bank.

"Well, if you want to retreat, you can retreat cleanly, and it's better to let the enemy find out that we are retreating, and then turn around and come back to set up defenses."

When Ran Min said this, his surroundings were full of smoke, and he kept swinging his arms to roll up the smoke, because his mouth was covering his wet wipes, and his voice was also the sound of an urn: "I can't see anything, let the soldiers be more leisurely when they cross the river." ” The order to withdraw to the west bank of Qiushui was quickly passed down, and the soldiers, who had long been unable to stand the bad environment, could not help but cheer while breathing a sigh of relief.

"This" Chen Zhan has always been at the forefront, and when he received the order, he was full of entanglement, and scolded in a low voice: "Isn't there a long time ago to prepare for arson, and even wet wipes have been prepared a long time ago, the corpses of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty have waded over and the sea of blood has waded over, and I am afraid of this smoke" No one heard Chen Zhan's whispers, and he didn't dare to disobey the order, that is, as the first batch of vanguard troops to cross the river, after they came to the east bank, they took great pains to open up the camp, and the battle with Murong Yan's army also folded into hundreds of people, and they really had an unwilling mentality to take the initiative to retreat.

It is often said that the sword has no eyes or something, of course the water and fire have no eyes, and it can even be said that the sword can still be controlled, but the water and fire are difficult to control by manpower, Murong Ke has the intention of taking advantage of the smoke to attack the Han army, the problem is that the smoke is not only the Han army will die if it smokes too much, but it is not only the Han army that cannot open its eyes because of the smoke, so Murong Ke arranged for hundreds of people to risk death to attack, but only a very few of these people succeeded in taking advantage of the confusion of the smoke to approach the Han army, but there was no splash at all.

"There is really an enemy army attacking at the risk of death" Chen Zhan is standing on the edge of the pontoon bridge, listening to the sound of gurgling water in his ears, and no one around him made a noise except for the occasional cough: "Is it serious?"

Zhang Hou immediately replied: "Although we have been prepared for a long time, there are still casualties, so we only killed three people, seriously wounded two people, and killed sixteen enemy soldiers, I don't know if there are any left." ” Wearing the clothes of the hostile camp to carry out a sneak attack or something is not uncommon in military history, and every time it can cause the enemy to be indistinguishable from the enemy, and when the vision is obstructed, it can cause great confusion and panic.

Murong Ke on the other side was also listening to the report, they could not know how many casualties were caused to the Han army, they could only judge that the Han army did not have a major disorder at all, and it was difficult to carry out follow-up actions.

"I heard that the military discipline of the Han army is extremely strict" Liu Xiang couldn't hide his regretful expression, and said hatefully: "If the Han army is in chaos, although it is very difficult to completely annihilate the Han army on the east coast, it will not be without any effort. ” Of course, Murong Ke also felt pity, and in a way, he was even more jealous of the Han army.

It was probably in the afternoon that the Han army on the east bank of Qiushui completed the retreat to the west bank, looking from the west bank to the east, where there were columns of smoke that almost covered half of the sky.

The forest burned into flames, and many animals that originally inhabited the forest fled in all directions, and many panicked animals could be seen rushing out of the forest and rushing directly into the river, some of them were able to float on the water, and many of them were fluttering down and sinking directly to the bottom.

"At least it is estimated that it will burn for ten days, and the affected area depends on whether the enemy has cut the fire barrier."

Xu Zheng didn't see any worries, and even said in a relatively relaxed tone: "The terrain on the east bank of Qiushui is relatively complicated, and in addition to the current sites that can be opened up as landing sites, there are still seven or eight suitable places for landing.

In the past, we deliberately only opened up the current area to attract enemy troops to come to fight, and since Murong Ke was cautious and took the initiative to set fire, it was time to open up other landing sites. ” In the final analysis, the Han army that arrived in Qiushui in the first batch was only 80,000, but the fleet from the Bohai Sea was endless, and the Han army that controlled Qiushui not only ran rampant, but also had little difficulty in opening up a landing site with suitable terrain.

The action was in fact already underway, and the nearest new landing point to the present position was three miles away, where a large fleet had been gathered, and the landing force carried by boats had actually set foot on the eastern shore.

"It's a very large forest area, and there are a lot of mountains behind it."

Xu Zheng walked to the edge of the sand table and pointed to a mountainous area: "This place is full of enemy camps, which shows that they want to rely on the terrain to fortify their defenses.

He pointed to the surroundings and continued, "These places are flat, and they are the most likely areas for battle. ” It is reported that there are more than 100,000 troops under Murong Ke's command, because there is enough time to prepare, all the terrain that can be relied on is to build fortifications early, and the Han army wants to attack only by breaking through those defensive chains, and it is not easy to say whether there will be a big battle when it reaches the plain after the breakthrough.

Murong Xianbei is a nomadic people, and they are better at riding than mountainous type defensive warfare.

According to the information provided by the Han line, the mink leopard cavalry has undergone some changes in the past two years, such as Murong Ke ordered people to build quite a lot of iron chains, which are used for the connection between the mink and leopard cavalry, that is, the heavy cavalry is connected with iron chains, and the iron chains are also covered with sharp blades and barbs.

"They have a strong sense of crisis, and they probably know that the Han will definitely send troops to destroy the country, so they expanded the mink and leopard cavalry at any cost, and the number has increased to 6,000.

There were four thousand on the so-called Western Front.

Lu Yi was in charge of diplomatic relations, and he also presided over the contact with the anti-bones of those countries who defected to the Han State: "General Zhengdong has encountered the mink leopard cavalry on the Western Front, and they have proved to be very difficult to deal with. ” The so-called Western Front is the Eastern Route Army personally commanded by Murong Jun, and they have collided with the multinational coalition army led by Lu Tai.

Murong Jun dispatched the mink and leopard cavalry in the first battle, and the 2,000 mounted heavy cavalry faced the 30,000 troops of Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla and the Japanese Islands.

Liu Yan glanced at Lu Yi with a little dissatisfaction, he hadn't fought with the mink leopard cavalry yet, so it was a reminder that it was not wrong, but it also caused the psychological burden of the generals.

In the next, the Han army opened up four landing ports in a row, and Murong Ke's side stopped it a little, but in the face of the long-range weapons of the Han ships on the Qiushui River, the situation was the same as the process of the Han army opening up the landing port for the first time, Murong Yanjun could not bear too many losses, and could only helplessly watch the landing port established by the Han army gradually take shape.

From the time the fire burned and spread, to the time the open flame was extinguished, only smoke remained, and it lasted for thirteen days before the situation improved.

After a fire, the original green on the east bank of Qiushui turned into a scorched black, and it looked like a piece of scorched earth in a radius of at least seven or eight miles was worrying.

The fire in the vast majority of the area had been extinguished, and there was no more combustible material left, and when the Han army crossed the river again from the first landing point, the figure of Murong Yanjun reappeared.

During the period of crossing the river again, the number of bridges that can pass has increased to seven, and Murong Ke watched from a distance as the Han army continued to pour from the seven bridges to the east bank of Qiushui, and saw that the Han army crossing the river organized a formation to move forward, waved his hand expressionlessly, and then left with the army.

"Come and leave immediately, what do you mean" Chen Zhan's department tried his best to get the first batch of troops to cross the river, and when he found that the enemy army appeared, he thought he could do a fight, but he didn't think that the enemy army just showed his face and retreated: "Please tell the hussar general, do you want to pursue" Ran Min replied with "chase", but when he reached the edge of the woods, he stopped to build fortifications.

There is no problem, there was a forest fire before, but Murong Yanjun had a fire barrier belt and burned down the woods within a radius of seven or eight miles, but there was still a large forest behind it, and then there was the fortification chain built by Murong Yanjun
