However, neither the Yanyun Han army nor the auxiliary troops of the Bohai Kingdom could be trusted by the Beiyuan. Wang Yuankui, Wang Xiaoxian, Tian Weiye and others bribed the officials who fled north to gain access to the country. Rumors from Hedong were also spread among the nobles of the Beiyuan.

Spread wantonly.

Even though Wusu Dashi finally insisted on conferring Wang Yuankui and Wang Xiaoxian as the military envoy to Weinan and Fengxiang, he hoped to recruit more soldiers from the Jin area and transferred the Yanyun and Han troops to Hejin to be under the control of Tian Weiye to strengthen the defense of Zhiguanxing. In the end, the order

It was also stopped by Beiyuan.

The Beiyuan insisted that half of the garrisons in Hejin and Puzhou must be elite cavalry of the Mongol tribe.

This caused Liang Jun to cross Hebei to attack Yuanqu at the end of last year. First, Xiao Siqing and others were worried about the disadvantages of the cavalry entering the mountains and could not resolutely withstand the harassment of a small group of Liang Jun troops. They sent reinforcements into Yuanqu to meet Tian Weiye, and finally in Yuanqu

The pass to the north was blocked, and Yuanqu City could only watch helplessly as it was besieged for seven months and then finally captured.

The more than 20,000 soldiers and horses that were destroyed in Yuanqu were the most elite combat force attached to the Jin Dynasty. Under the leadership of Tian Weiye, they first defended Luzhou City, but Liang Emperor Zhu Yu lost all his troops and fell into Taiyuan.

The city ruined the last foundation of the Jin State, and then conquered the Linyongtong prefectures.

Tian Weiye was captured, the main force of his army was wiped out, and only ten thousand remaining soldiers were left to guard Anyi and other cities. How could the morale of the generals not be high?

Any army with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses will give people a sense of boundlessness, not to mention that the total number of troops invested by both sides in the valley southeast of Fenshui River will exceed 200,000.

Even if the Luoyang|Navy Army does not break through the numerous blockades and enter the Fenshui River Valley, as long as Han Qian is determined to launch a battle, it is destined to be a fight to the death.

After all, the entrance to the narrow valley leading out of Zhiguanxing in the south of Jiang County is only two to three hundred paces.

Such a wide opening is enough for an army of more than 10,000 people to enter and exit, but for the Liang Army, which has at least 80,000 to 90,000 people entering the Fenshui Valley to fight, once the battle is lost, so many troops will not be able to enter and exit.

To retreat from such a narrow opening into the peaks and ridges at the northern foot of Wangwu Mountain in a short period of time would easily lead to fatal chaos.

Xiao Yiqing originally thought that Han Qian would choose to confront them because of this factor and the fact that they had assembled superior forces in the north and did not dare to rush into a battle.

Now it seems that he still underestimated the determination and confidence of Han Qian and Liang Jun...

"I am only responsible for sending you reinforcements and helping you boost your morale. However, it is up to you and the forward generals to decide how to fight this battle..."

Han Qian was wearing a scarlet cloak, and when he arrived in early October, the wind and cold made him feel like he was cutting his face. He reined up his horse and stopped at the top of a mountain, looking at the vast scenery in the Fenshui River Valley, and said to Wen Bo.

In addition to the four integrated infantry brigades of Feng Zhang, He Liufeng, Dou Rong, and Dong Tai, the other 40,000 reinforcements were recruited from the refugees from eastern Henan who fled to western Henan and Nanyang in the past two years and were organized into eight reserve brigades.

Rush over here.

These 40,000 reinforcements have barely received four months of training, and their combat effectiveness is naturally far less than that of the main infantry brigade. However, this is already the limit of reinforcements to the Yuanqu front line under the current situation.

After all, the two countries of Shu and Chu abide by the peace agreement, and there are no abnormalities this winter. However, there are still enough troops left on the east and west wings to withstand the offensives of the Mongolian Army in Guanzhong and the Dongliang Army.

Of course, he ordered the Luoyang navy to break through the heavy blockade of the Mongolian army and advance into the Fen River, the river bends in the north of Quwo and Wenxi counties in advance, seemingly preparing to block the retreat of the defeated enemy, and try their best to

Strive for the most fruitful and charming results in this battle.

But in fact, Han Qian made arrangements for when the battle was unfavorable.

Once the war is lost, the soldiers and horses who entered the hinterland of the Fenshui River Valley will have a hard time retreating south from the narrow mouth of the valley. At that time, they can fight all the way to the south bank of the Fenshui River, join the navy, fight and retreat, and then they can retreat from the west foot of Xiangshan Mountain.

By retreating to the north of Tongguan, the battle will not be lost, and the main force will be surrounded and annihilated in the Fenshui River Valley.

Therefore, the winner of this battle must be decided before the Fen River freezes.

Han Qian went to the front line to supervise the battle in person, but still handed over the command of the battlefield to generals such as Wen Bo and Guo Que.

In fact, more than 200,000 troops from both sides entered the battlefield, and the battlefield covered nearly a hundred miles.

No matter who it is, he, Wen Bo, or the enemy's general, it is difficult for him to have overall control over the course of the war.

In the early stage, it is already quite remarkable to be able to follow the plan and successfully put all the troops and horses into the predetermined location of the battle. But when the battle reaches its most intense, it will rely more on and test the commanding abilities of the generals and military attachés at all levels.

.

If this battle can be won, Daliang will lay the foundation for expelling the Huru and establishing the Central Plains. But if it fails, the business of the past three years will be destroyed, and the situation may even get worse.
