Chapter 94 The Battle of Zhao Yan
Chapter 94: The Battle of Zhao Yan
Under Le Lei's strong promotion, Yan State assembled 30 soldiers and horses in the country, and withdrew all the soldiers and horses stationed in Dai County.

In Puyin City, Xin Zhao couldn't help being stunned when he learned that the Yan army had withdrawn from the Dai Commandery. He didn't expect the Yan Kingdom to be so courageous that the Dai Commandery he got could give up.

After the Yan Army withdrew from Dai Commandery, Zhang Chuan sent someone to send a letter asking whether to enter Dai Commandery. Zhao Xin hesitated. It wasn't that Dai Commandery was bad, but taking Dai Commandery now would be tantamount to restraining some of Zhao's troops. It is impossible to suppress the Yan army in terms of strength, but if it does not enter Daijun, Zhang Chuan's troops will not be able to attack Guangyang, which is really contradictory.

After much thought, Zhao Xin decided to get Daijun first. At the same time, in order to support Zhang Chuan's troops, Zhao Xin personally led an army of 20 to leave Puyin and came to the border of Zhuojun. Le Lei in Jicheng had to leave 25 The elite defended Guangyang County, and personally raised [-] troops to go south and stationed in Beixincheng.

In March of the tenth year of Qianyuan, General Sima Chong of Zhao Jun led an army of [-] to Ganling City in Qinghe County and surrounded Ganling City.

Le Lei ordered General Qin Kai to lead an army of [-] to the south for reinforcements, and Sima Chong personally led [-] troops to the north to stop the attack. In mid-March, the two armies of Zhao and Yan met in Dongwuyang. More than ten thousand, Qin Kai was forced to retreat to Guangchuan.

In April of the tenth year of Qianyuan, Zhang Chuan led an army of [-] into Daijun. He led an army of [-] to resist.

In May of the tenth year of Qianyuan, Ganling City fell, and Sima Chong's troops of the Zhao Army seized the opportunity to capture Beiqiu, Ling County, Qi County and other cities in the south of Qinghe County. .

The triumphant advances on the north and south fronts greatly increased Xin Zhao's confidence. In late May of the tenth year of Qianyuan, Xin Zhao commanded the main force of the 20 Zhao army to attack Beixincheng, intending to face the main force of the Yan army.

On May 26, the tenth year of Qianyuan, the two armies of Zhao and Yan fought in Beixincheng. Zhao Xinji lured the cavalry of the Yan army into the encirclement and wiped out [-] cavalry of the Yan army. Le Lei was forced to withdraw from Beixincheng and retreat to Fanyang City.

The retreat of the main force of the Yan army caused Anping to be completely exposed to the front of Zhao Jun's soldiers. , Xiabo, Wuyi, and Guanjin cities, the soldiers pointed directly at Xindu.

In July of the tenth year of Qianyuan, the Zhao army broke through Xindu, and most of Anping fell. For fear of being flanked by the Zhao army, Qin Kai of the Yan army abandoned the northern part of Qinghe County and went north to Xiuxian County, Bohai County. Qinghe and Anping were completely lost. .

In Fan Yangcheng, in the county government office, Le Lei looked defeated. In the past three months, the Yan Army had lost consecutive battles and retreated steadily. So far, Qinghe County and Anping County have lost all fronts.

Le Lei came to Fanyang City, looked at Zhao Jun's camp outside the city, he knew that Xin Zhao was going to force him out of the city to fight him, the more he was like this, the less impatient he was, even if all the four counties in the south were lost, As long as his main force is still there, there is still a chance of a comeback.

In Zhao Jun's camp, Xin Zhao held the victory report from the south in his hand and frowned. The reason why he led his troops to Fanyang City was to bet that Le Lei would not dare to give up the four counties in the south. Decisive battle with yourself, because in terms of the current situation of the Yan army, only by defeating the main force in your hands can the crisis in the four southern counties be resolved, otherwise you can only watch the four southern counties being taken by yourself one by one.

It's just that he didn't expect that Le Lei could be so calm, even though the bad news from the four southern counties kept coming, he still defended Fan Yang.

In Xiu County, Bohai County, Sima Chong led an army of [-] to the city.

Since the attack on Yan, Sima Chong fought and won victoriously, sweeping away the haze of the Battle of Huishan. Sima Chong stared at Xiuxian City, thinking: as long as this city is defeated, he can attack Bohai Sea and this city. The richest county in the south of Yan Kingdom.

However, Sima Chong was not in a hurry to attack the city. After all, he swept Qinghe all the way. Although the losses were not large, the soldiers were also very tired. There were [-] Yan troops in the city, and they were all elites. .

Qin Kai in the city had a bitter expression on his face. He had no way out. Anping and Qinghe had all fallen. If he couldn't defend Xiu County, Bohai might not be able to escape the conquest of Zhao Jun.

After Sima Chong hoarded troops in Xiu County for five days, he set up his formation and prepared to attack the city. Qin Kai on the city looked dignified. He knew that it was time to test himself. Can't withstand Zhao Jun's offensive.

Sima Chong stormed Xiuxian with an army of [-], and the Yan army resisted desperately. The small Xiuxian became a meat grinding ground. Countless soldiers of Zhao and Yan died under the city of Xiuxian, which was terrible.

In the end, Qin Kai led the Yan army to resist tenaciously, and finally blocked the Zhao army.

In August of the tenth year of Qianyuan, Sima Chong attacked Xiu County for a long time, but lost nearly [-] soldiers and horses. In desperation, he had to withdraw his troops and return to Guangchuan to find another opportunity.

In September of the tenth year of Qianyuan, the Yan army finally stopped its defeat and entered the stage of strategic defense.

The battle between Zhao and Yan attracted the attention of the world. At first they thought it was an evenly matched battle between dragons and tigers, but what they didn't expect was that Yan was so vulnerable that they lost Anping and Qinghe counties in just a few months.

In October of the tenth year of Qianyuan, during the midwinter season, Zhao Xin led his troops back to Beixincheng to wait for another battle in the coming year.

Wancheng, Qianyang Palace, although Hebei is in full swing, it has not affected the development of Deng. After a year of recuperation, the losses in the Central Plains War have been replenished, and Deng Sheng is considering how to expand his strength.

Deng Sheng was holding the brochures handed over by Yue Fei and Chang Yuchun. One of them suggested to go south and take the weak state of Hunan first, and the other suggested to go north and fight Wei. Impossible, but as long as you play well, winning one or two counties is not a big problem.

However, Deng Sheng was not very satisfied with their two proposals. Deng Guo now holds the land of five counties. In terms of area, it is larger than Wei, Chu, and Qi, and he is not very eager for territory.

Deng Sheng had an idea in his mind, if it could be realized, it would be better than winning a few counties, that is to go westward and attack the Han Kingdom, but not for the purpose of seizing the territory of the Han Kingdom, but for war horses. Only Qin, Han, Zhao, and Yan can have a well-organized cavalry. Don't look at Qi Chu as if he is very powerful. Let them hedge against Zhao with the same force. Zhao's iron cavalry can beat them Grind into slag.

There are many plains in the Central Plains, which are suitable for cavalry. Without cavalry, how can Deng Guo talk about fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains? Now the only way for Deng Guo to get war horses is to buy them from Han, but Han is not a fool, he will not sell so many war horses to For Deng Guo, the only way is to fight. If you hit Han Guofu, you will naturally hand over the horse obediently.
