The Qi army camped along the southwest of Liyang, Liyang Mountain, and the Qi army surrounded Liyang Mountain, then dug many trenches outside the camp, and set up a large number of obstacles to confront the Chu army crossing the river and heading north.

The commander of the Qi army, Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, stood on the hillside to the south, and used a thousand-mile mirror to observe the Chu army camps several miles away.

Because she wore an eye mask on her left eye, her handsome face looked a little ferocious.

He fought with the Liang army several years ago and was attacked by strange weapons while leading the cavalry to charge, and his left eye was blind.

Now, my right eye looked through the Qianli Miles Miles and watched the enemy situation. After watching for a long time, I had no sign of an attack from the Chu army.

Looking up at the sky, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the north wind was blowing, and it was almost noon.

Can't fight today?

Gao Changgong put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, then looked at the strange utensils and rubbed them gently.

This thousand-mile mirror was seized from the scouts of the dead enemy troops on the battlefield, and it allows people to see things several miles away.

Gao Changgong couldn't put it down with Qianlijing, but he knew that when he used Qianlijing to observe the enemy camp, the enemy general must also use Qianlijing to observe this side.

The Chu army crossed the river and wanted to attack Liyang, but because the Qi army and the Liyang defenders were mutually supportive, they could not attack the city calmly, so they divided their troops to resist.

But if the other party is not in a hurry to attack, there will inevitably be a conspiracy.

The soldiers pulled the rush to block the wind and lit the bonfire. Gao Changgong sat beside the fire and roasted the fire. He looked at the Chu army camp in front of him and started to think.

The Chu army has extremely powerful weapons, so if it attacks head-on with a dignified formation, it is easy to suffer a great loss.

The battle a few years ago proved this. Gao Changgong remembered this lesson at the cost of losing one eye.

Therefore, when the Chu army attacked the north on a large scale and came straight to Liyang, the Qi army kept defending, which would definitely not be able to defend.

The opponent's field ability can no longer be described as "very strong". Once the opponent's attack is used with such powerful weapons, no army can bear it head-on.

Therefore, using normal fighting styles can't defeat the Chu army at all.

The cavalry must be used to the extreme to solve the problem.

Gao Changgong soon thought of his pre-war arrangements.

The Taifu Huluguang personally led a large number of cavalry to cross Henan and enter the Henan area. While moving continuously, he looked for the enemy's flaws, and then suddenly exerted his strength.

Therefore, Gao Changgong's army was in the Liyang area, relying on trenches and camps to withstand the main force of the Chu army and delay time.

Now, the Chu army is not in a hurry to attack, which is exactly the same as Gao Changgong's intention, but it is precisely because of this that he is becoming more and more worried.

The other party would definitely guess their arrangement. Then, the Chu army in front of him must have a corresponding solution.

Considering that the famous Li Li personally led his troops to the expedition, Gao Changgong dared not take it lightly.

This ferocious tiger was no longer able to control when it was Liang General.

Gao Changgong is Gao Cheng's son. He knew that his second uncle Gao Yang was in charge of the army and returned in vain in front of Li Li. Since then, the Qi army has never been able to win battles in front of Li Li.

Even Yecheng was invaded by this man and stayed for a short time, so that the Taimiao was burned down.

Later, Li Li changed his dynasty and became emperor, and remained silent for five years.

Now that the northern offensive has been launched suddenly, he has "notified" Qi in advance. In Gao Changgong's view, this behavior is not because of his arrogant arrogance, but because of his absolute confidence:

The Chu army was confident of destroying Qi. Even if Qi received news in advance and was ready to fight, it would not change this fact.

Although Gao Changgong was not sure what the other party’s confidence came from, he believed that the country was really at its most dangerous time.

Therefore, as a royal family member of the dynasty and descendants of the Gao family, Gao Changgong would never wait to die.

Someone climbed a mountain and walked slowly. Gao Changgong looked carefully and found that he was an eunuch.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the emperor sent envoys to escort a large amount of supplies to reward the soldiers in Liyang.

After the Zhong Envoy arrived, of course he would come to see the coach.

After a greeting, the man asked, "King, when will the decisive battle with the Chu army?"

When Gao Changgong heard this, his heart skipped a beat: Why can’t the emperor sit still?

It’s not that it’s said it well, and you don’t want to fight quickly. You must deal with the Chu army and wait until it reveals its flaws and then strike with all your strength.

Although it is normal for the emperor to inquire about the military affairs of the front line, Gao Changgong heard that it was abnormal from the message he sent:

No, it must be that the villain who is doing something with Shikai is also troublesome!

Gao Changgong was unhappy, but he remained calm on his face and replied: "Please reply to Your Majesty. Everything is arranged before the war, so you must not be anxious, otherwise it will be easy for the Southern thieves to take advantage of."

"Since that's the case, I will reply to Your Majesty." The eunuch's attitude was very low, and he talked to Gao Changgong for a while, and went down the mountain to rest.

Gao Changgong looked at the other person's back and felt a little uneasy.

The emperor was young and the empress dowager ignored the overall situation, so the government was a favored by the court. This time the Chu army invaded the north, and He Shikai and others said at the beginning that "no need to worry."

Fortunately, the father-in-law Hu Luguang made a quick decision and tried his best to persuade him, which led the emperor to order the army to gather in Yecheng, and summoned civil and military ministers to discuss matters and make a series of arrangements.

Otherwise, the country will be in danger.

Now, Hu Luguang is leading troops outside, while Shi Kai and others are around the emperor day and night. With a few words, the emperor can have the idea of ​​changing orders every day. If this continues...

Gao Changgong thought of Zhao County King Gao Rui.

At the beginning of the year, Gao Rui and others strongly demanded that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor demoted the slandered ministers such as He Shikai out of the capital, but were bitten by He Shikai. Gao Rui was killed after entering the palace.

Since then, the heroes have become more and more arrogant, and there is a smoky atmosphere in the court.

Now, the enemy is facing the enemy, and He Shikai and others stay in Yecheng in the rear but do not stop, and they are often pointing in the front-line military affairs from time to time.

I can't do serious things myself, but I always cause trouble!

......

Several miles south of Liyang Mountain, the Chu army camp, and the commander Wang Lin was patrolling the camp. He walked on the earth wall that had just been piled up yesterday, stomping his feet from time to time.

The earthen wall that was just built yesterday was watered and frozen into an "ice wall" overnight. Wang Lin inspected several sections of the earthen walls and found no instability.

Looking at the Qi army camp in Liyang Mountain ahead, I saw the ravines in front of the camp, mixed with many deer antlers and wooden fences. It is conceivable that if my friends want to attack for a strong attack, they will have to pay a lot of price just to overcome these obstacles.

So if you really want to fight, you can't attack head-on, you have to go around from the side.

However, if this offensive is implemented with infantry, the effect is very poor because the infantry moves slowly.

The defenders of Liyang Mountain and Liyang City echoed east and west, and it was impossible to watch the Chu army detours and remain indifferent.

If the Chu army infantry orbited from the west side of Liyang Mountain, they would be cut off by the attacking Qi army at any time, making the head and tail unable to echo.

If you use cavalry to circumnavigate and cover your infantry and build a fortress, the opponent's cavalry will surround you.

And this is probably the battle that the Qi army wants: the cavalry fight first, and after eating the Chu cavalry, the Chu infantry outside Liyang could not even retreat.

Therefore, facing the well-prepared Qi army, the Chu army that crossed the river had to choose to confront each other now.

This is also a situation that was expected before the war.

Since Li Li came to Yecheng for a while more than ten years ago to "stay for a while", Qi State has taken seriously Li Yang, the southern gateway to Li Yang. This time, the Chu army crossed the river and headed north, and the other side must station heavy troops in Li Yang to strengthen defense.

Therefore, the Central Army of the Northern Expedition confronted here. As time goes by, the Qi army will have more and more reinforcements and will continue to mobilize materials to ensure that the Liyang defenders can block the Chu army on the south side.

When the spring begins, the Yellow River thaws and the Chu army on the north bank becomes troublesome in logistics transfer.

Wang Lin stood silently against the snowy earth for a while, and walked down the earth wall.

As the front army, his troops were the first troops to attack. At this time, perhaps the emperor's imperial camp had not yet left the territory of Xuzhou, and the New Year was about to arrive.

Looking at the busy soldiers in the camp, then looking at the snowy sky, and instructing them to the left:

"Today is New Year's Eve. We must let the soldiers eat and drink enough to have the strength when they are around the age of the year."
