At the mouth of the Dan River, there is a fishing port under construction.
After Ji Ran came to Zhen and He states, he has been building this port.
However, because their current largest project is to build a bridge connecting Hezhou and Li State across the Dan River, the construction progress of this port has been relatively slow.
This port under construction is not yet capable of berthing large warships, but it can still berth small warships.
Every time Chen Kuan sent someone to ask Ji Ran to pass on some news, he would send the letter to this port. He would then take the land route and order someone to deliver the news back to the imperial city at an urgent speed of 800 miles.
This can save a lot of time.
Bu Du and Pang Jinjiu also set out from this port.
Three days later, Bu Du and Pang Jinjiu arrived in Xiongjin through the port.
The two men did not rest and rushed to Longqing Prefecture as quickly as possible.
However, when they arrived at Longqing Prefecture after a day's journey, they learned that Jia Yao and Shen Kuan had already left Longqing Prefecture the day before with 10,000 cavalrymen.
...
...
Now all defense matters in the rear have been handed over to Shen Kuan’s former deputy general.
Pang Jinjiu was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Where did they get 10,000 cavalry?"
However, after asking this question, Pang Jinjiu realized that his question was a bit stupid.
Madam Jiayao has led her troops to victory after victory, so why can’t she seize war horses from the enemy?
The deputy general grinned, "Madam Jiayao led her troops to defeat the enemy many times and seized many war horses from the enemy. By the way, we still have a lot of horse meat here. I will have someone send some to the two generals later..."
When he said this, the deputy general's mouth almost stretched to the back of his head.
"What the hell is horse meat or not!"
Bu Du had no appetite for meat and asked hastily, "Where did they lead their troops to?"
"Go to Qingyi!"
The deputy general replied: "We learned from the enemy prisoners that the enemy commander Yin Zhi was in the enemy army that marched from Duyang earlier!"
"After the enemy was defeated, they retreated to Qingyi via Duyang. Madam Jiayao's plan was to besiege Qingyi and force Yin Zhi to withdraw troops from Juncheng to support it."
"In this way, they can quickly raid the reinforcements from Juncheng and find a way to capture Juncheng..."
The deputy general told them Jia Yao's plan in detail.
While they were resting, the enemy troops in Duyang also retreated to Qingyi.
The remaining troops of Yin Zhi and Qing Yi's pitifully small number of remaining troops together totaled less than 7,000 people.
At present, in the entire Lu'an Road, except for Juncheng and Qingyi, there are not many troops in other cities.
In addition, according to the information they received, the enemy troops in the direction of Hukou would reinforce Luyi Prefecture and Woyuan.
When the deputy general explained the situation in detail, the map of Li State quickly appeared in Pang Jinjiu's mind.
Pang Jinjiu had just fought a battle in Li State last year and was very familiar with the map and terrain here.
It was precisely because of this that he asked Lu Xing to temporarily take over the command of the 10,000 elite Northern Huan cavalry from Budu.
"Does the enemy want to trap Madam Jiayao and the others in Lu'an Road?"
Pang Jinjiu frowned, but quickly denied his guess.
Only remnants of the enemy army are left!
It is simply impossible to encircle 10,000 cavalrymen at this time!
Moreover, these 10,000 cavalrymen were led by Jia Yao.
If the enemy didn't want to encircle their 10,000 cavalry, what else did they want to do?
Are they going to concentrate their forces and retreat?
Probably not, right?
The enemy troops in Juncheng should have known that Bu Du was leading 10,000 troops to support them.
If they concentrate their forces to retreat at this time, can they really retreat?
At this moment, if we give it a try, there might still be a chance. But if we just think about retreating, the only outcome will be the annihilation of the entire army!
Pang Jinjiu was thinking about this question, and Jia Yao and Shen Kuan were also thinking about this question.
They suddenly found it a little difficult to understand Yoon Shik's intentions.
Is there any benefit for Yoon Shik to fight like this?
Chen Kuan thought about it over and over but couldn't figure it out. He simply gave up thinking and suggested, "Madam Jiayao, how about we first eat up the enemy reinforcements heading to Woyuan and Luyi Prefecture?"
Eat the meat in your mouth first!
Before this, he had led his troops to defeat more than 4,000 enemy troops.
He could have killed more of the enemy's men, but considering that the soldiers needed time to rest so that they could follow Jia Yao for the next action, he did not pursue them too far.
Now, the total number of enemy forces is estimated to be less than 15,000.
Moreover, there are many vassal troops of the Li Kingdom.
This is a typical weakling!
Eat the weak one first, then it won’t be too late to eat other enemies later.
Just as Jia Yao was about to agree, something suddenly occurred to him.
After thinking for a moment, Jiayao suddenly smiled, "I know what Yin Zhi is up to!"
"Um?"
Chen Kuan suddenly looked at Jia Yao, "Did Madam see through it?"
Jia nodded and smiled: "Yin Zhi just wants us to raid the enemy troops heading towards Woyuan and Luyi Prefecture! In this way, he can lead Qingyi's troops to quickly meet up with Juncheng's troops in Louchong, and then retreat to Baishan Road!"
Shen Kuan was slightly stunned, then quickly reacted, "Yin Zhi wants to run?"
"right!"
Jia Yao nodded heavily, "They have already been defeated. It is understandable that Yin Zhi wants to escape at this time! The troops that marched towards Woyuan were used as bait to preserve the last elite troops..."
The enemy's losses were extremely heavy.
With no means to launch an attack against them, the enemy was already defeated.
Because, as long as Yin Zhi cannot stop their reinforcements, no matter how hard Yin Zhi tries, he will end up being defeated in the end.
If we run now, we may be able to take some of the people with us.
Once their reinforcements arrive, they will have no chance to escape.
The current Yin Zhi is so similar to his past self.
In the past, I was also the attacking party.
But as the fight went on, the situation changed from offense to defense.
Later on, they couldn't even defend themselves, and could only try to preserve as many manpower as possible.
She had a similar experience to Yoon-sik.
She knew exactly what Yoon Shik was thinking right now.
Shen Kuan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "So, we can take Juncheng without bloodshed?"
"It won't work without bloodshed."
Jia Yao shook his head and said, "As long as Yin Zhi is not stupid, he will leave a small number of troops to continue guarding Juncheng. Even if it delays for one more day, it will be beneficial for their retreat!"
Of course, the troops left behind will definitely become victims.
But in order to save more people, this is a sacrifice that must be made.
"It's easy to handle with a small number of troops!"
Chen Kuan said confidently: "As long as we let the Eighteen Ghost Riders sneak into the city, even if the enemy leaves one or two thousand people to guard the city, it probably won't be enough for them to kill!"
"This is worth considering. Perhaps, they don't need to take risks anymore!"
Jia Yao nodded gently, "We are now going to use a trick on the enemy. As long as we capture Yin Zhi or severely damage the troops coming out of Juncheng, the enemy will not be able to escape!"
In just a moment, several plans flashed through Jia Yao's mind.
However, she still needs to think about it and see which method is better...
