In ancient times, the reason why military strategists tried hard to avoid siege was not only that the siege would cause extremely heavy casualties in the army, but also one very important reason, that is, if their army stayed under a strong city for a long time, it would easily become a very conspicuous target. The surrounding enemy troops would be eyeing him and might rush over and bit him hard at any time. For example, in the famous Battle of Zhongli, the main force of the Northern Wei army fought for several months under Zhongli City, but could not capture it for a long time. The veterans of the army were exhausted. In the end, the main force of the Liang army arrived, and the Northern Wei army was immediately defeated and almost wiped out.

While attracting most of the troops by the fierce attack, the enemy was touched from behind. It was very dangerous for any general. Now the Jin army encountered this situation. Although they were far from eating old ice skin, almost all of the infantry were put into street fighting. Wang Ru's main force killed tens of thousands of people overnight, and suddenly appeared behind them like ghosts in horror movies...

If someone with a slightly weak nerve is probably going to be confused now. For example, Sima Fan was at a loss and kept pulling Arm and asking what to do. Li Rui was nervous, and in his opinion it was no big deal. Although the infantry was dragged down by street fighting, he still had thousands of cavalry, and using these thousands of cavalry could still deal with the rebels!

Without any unnecessary nonsense, he handed over command to the two Beigong Jing's beloved generals with amazing efficiency, then put on armor, rode on war horses, led four cavalry regiments, 1,600 Wuhuan cavalry, and quickly left Xingcheng and killed towards Longyan, where the main force of the rebels were.

Sima Fan watched him leave, watching his back as he rode a tall horse towards the south for a long time without looking back, and remained silent.

Jia You whispered: "This is the difference between you and him."

Sima Fan glared at him fiercely: "Zichong, whose counselor are you?"

Jia You said: "Of course I am your adviser to your prince, but as a counselor, you can't tell lies with your eyes open, right? Prince, you are indeed very different from him..."

Sima Fan roared with grief and anger: "I spent so much money to keep you by my side just to make you pierce my heart, right? Do you still remember who gave you the salary? It's me!"

Jia You looked at him with his head tilted, looking at him in a negotiable tone: "Why do I get my salary from Captain Li in the future?"

Sima Fan suddenly became depressed and had a dark face and didn't want to speak.

————The strategists these days will not be easily tied to a job by the boss like the social livestock more than 1,700 years later. These strategists all regard themselves as highly, and can even be said to be arrogant. It is common for them to speculate on their bosses. The boss does not respect him enough? Fight him; the boss does not trust himself enough? Fight him; the boss does not trust him enough? Fight him; the boss has not high IQ and there is no hope of achieving great things? Then he must firing him even more... The main focus is to go to a person and flow to a low point. Jia You is undoubtedly such a strategist. He is resourceful and ambitious. For him, the boss is just a step for him to realize his ambitions. If Sima Fan's step is not solid enough and there is no way to make him stand higher, he doesn't mind changing another step.

The steps that can make him stand higher and more stable have really appeared...

That damn job-hopping soul can't suppress it anymore!

Sima Fan felt like he saw his wife who had been married to the adulterer with his own eyes and was ready to run away with the adulterer at any time. His heart hurt so much that he didn't want to talk.

Longyan.

There is a fort here, which was a loss to Sima Fan more than ten days ago. However, due to the limited military strength and the owner of the fortress, Sima Fan has never sent troops to garrison. This is also impossible. Since the Jin army entered Nanyang, it is correct that the battles have won one after another, but it is an indisputable fact that the Jin army has surrendered Yan Yi's old subordinates, but the time is too short, and that group of people dare not use it at all. The real reliable ones are the four thousand Jingzhou soldiers, eight hundred Wuhuan cavalry, eight hundred auxiliary soldiers, and a total of six thousand people. This number of people must keep some to defend Wancheng, and some to guard Jiyang, and then some to accept Biyang (today's Bianyang) who have clearly expressed their willingness to surrender. There are not many people who can be used to besiege Rangcheng, so naturally there is no way to send troops to take over Longyan.

However, the owner of the fortress that the Jin army had now refused to enter, the powerful Ye family in the Longyan area, regretted it.

They never dreamed that Wang Ru, a bandit, was so crazy. He clearly had the upper hand in Xiangfan, and Wancheng had already been lost, and the situation in Nanyang was hopeless. After he learned that Wancheng had fallen, he led an army of 50,000 and came over with great momentum!

Fifty thousand army!

This is definitely a number that makes him look dark. Any male gentry who can use weapons in his Ye clan can only gather 500 people if he can die!

Seeing the refugee army rolling in like waves, the Ye clan leader was crying without tears, so he could only grit his teeth and ordered every male in the fort to take his weapons and armor to board the fort. Even the healthy woman hid behind the city wall with a crossbow in her hand, preparing to participate in the fight. At the same time, he secretly prayed that the Li Zhengwei would send troops to support him, and at least he also sent more than a dozen fat cows, more than a dozen horses, and a batch of food and cloth as a gift for the meeting. Even for the sake of these property, Li Zhengwei should save him, right?

Wang Ru did not take this small fort seriously, leaving only a few thousand people for them to do whatever they wanted, and he led the army to continue to pounce on Rangcheng. He did not intend to let this fort go. These local tyrants were all fence-bearers. When he came over, he surrendered to him and even his wife was willing to share with him. He wanted to pull him to kowtow to worship the boss. When the Jin army arrived, they immediately surrendered to the Jin army, hoping to pull the Jin army to worship the boss... How could he swallow this anger? So after capturing Xinye, he started a slaughter and slaughtered more than 3,000 people in one go. As for this fort, he had already ordered that after breaking the fort, he would not leave any other animals!

When they heard that they could burn, kill and loot after breaking through the fort, the rebels were all very energetic and didn't even prepare much for siege equipment. They carried the ladder and rushed towards the fort. The offensive was quite fierce!

The Ye clan leader who was also hoping to send a batch of gifts and talk carefully to see if he could lose money and eliminate disasters was stunned again... He didn't even talk, but rolled up his sleeves and beat him. This was too unpretentious!

Li Rui was also stunned now.

It was only ten miles from Rangcheng to Longyan. In fact, he only walked three or five miles with his cavalry and encountered the vanguard of Wang Ru's rebels head-on. This was a cavalry unit with hundreds of people. There were so many cavalrymen alone, which showed that Wang Ru's rebels were extraordinary.

Fu Sheng did not hesitate and ordered the Second Cavalry Regiment to launch a decisive charge. The rebels thought that tens of thousands of people appeared near Rangcheng by surprise. With the Jin army's urinary nature, they had already been so scared that they urinated and crawled away. Unexpectedly, they met the Jin cavalry head-on just after Longyan. They were a little confused and at a loss for a moment. Before they could find the north, hundreds of iron-armored cavalry rushed over with their spears and rushed towards them like a speeding iron wall. Such a fierce impact,

Next time, he rushed the vanguard cavalry unit to pieces. Seeing this, Li Rui was a little overwhelmed and ordered all four cavalry regiments to join the battle. He himself led his personal soldiers to join the battle and chased and killed the fleeing rebel cavalry. Although he himself did not like to get involved in close combat, now there are many enemies and we are few, and the enemy suddenly appears on his back by surprise. It is inevitable that the army will panic. He must set an example and let the soldiers know that his boss is also very powerful and his leader is reliable!

He was indeed very fierce. He first used a horse spear to overturn a powerful general with a long-handled axe, and then chopped over two quite fierce officers with a single-edged sword. The Wuhuan cavalry cheered loudly and cheered for his boss's brave performance... This boss who could take the lead when necessary was too fond of them!

Amid their cheers, Li Rui felt a little fluttered, and he was chasing all the way, feeling so happy. However, the joy was so sad that he was burying his head to hunt down the escaped enemy that had been beaten and urinated everywhere, and surrounded the strongest first and second regiments!

Li Rui was a little stunned: "Damn, where did the rebels get so many cavalry? Are you playing with me??"

His personal soldier Li Liang said: "The lieutenant doesn't know that the civilian customs in Guanzhong are strong, and both men and women love cavalry. There are many people in the rebels who are good at riding and shooting. Wang Ru has never been able to pull up a large-scale cavalry unit, but he just can't get a large number of war horses."

Li Rui pointed to the cavalry coming from all directions: "Where did these cavalry attack come from?"

Li Liang said: "He is afraid he will snatch the horses in Xiangfan Horse Farm!"

There has always been a tradition of raising horses in Xiangfan. There were large nutritious horse farms here in the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the military horses they raised were more than 10,000 at their peak. Originally, during the Zhangchang Rebellion, the military horses raised here were plundered by the rebels. After quelling the Zhangchang Rebellion, General Ningshuo Liu Hong collected the military horse horses, including stallions, that were robbed by the rebels. After a lot of effort, he started to operate the Xiangfan military horse farm again. The general's original intention was to reserve more war horses for the country in case of emergencies, but he never dreamed that five years after his death, the Xiangfan military horse farm was lost again. The thousands of good horses he had spent countless hard work to raise became the spoils of the rebels!

The war horses that I wanted to reserve for the country became the help of the rebels to capture cities and land, which was a great irony!
