As the commander of the first army, what he hates most is that he is worried. A little ignorance of the situation may ruin the whole army. Moreover, Yao Yizhong''s inner doubt is not only a little.


    "We had three routes at first, and then we simply spread out completely. We almost searched the south bank to the edge of Jishui. If the Han Army had an ambush, we could only hide underground."


    "Well..."


    Yao Yizhong just seemed to grasp the key. His thoughts floated for a while, and he was in a trance. Unexpectedly... He couldn''t remember what it was.


    It is Jishui, that is, the place they are about to step into is the narrow hundred mile space between the Yellow River and Jishui. If there is a map, it will be clear at a glance.


    The middle of the Yellow River and Jishui is really a narrow space. If the length is more than 600 Li, the fatal place is that the width is too narrow!


    Can the Han Army hide underground? It''s not impossible, but even if it''s hiding, the number of hiding is absolutely limited. What''s the use of a small number.


    In fact, there is also a water system between the Yellow River and Jishui, that is, Luoshui, which runs for hundreds of miles from the Bohai Sea through Qingzhou to Jizhou and approaching Sizhou.


    Luoshui and Jishui have the same length, but the river width of Luoshui is much less, and there are many sections that can directly drive horses across the river bed. Therefore, Liu Yan didn''t take Luoshui seriously, and Yao Yizhong didn''t associate Luoshui with the terrain, which was cut off from the waterway.


    In fact, Yao Yizhong didn''t think that the Yellow River would be cut off, but didn''t he spend two or three months preparing to block the Yellow River with wood and other sundries? According to his thinking, the Han Army had no ships in the Yellow River waterway. The Han Army''s ships were basically mobilized from the sea. There would be no problem as long as they blocked the estuary of the Yellow River.


    what? Did Yao Yizhong ever think that Liu Yan would wantonly build ships in the Yellow River? Yao Yizhong is a normal person. From the perspective of a normal person, who can build many ships in less than half a year, even if Liu Yanzhen can build a limited number, so the nearly 1000 ships of Shijie Zhao Jun along the Yellow River are still uneven?


    It was confirmed that there was no ambush of the Han army from the South Bank of the Yellow River to the edge of Jishui. Even the original 3000 Han army retreated after Yao Yizhong increased its troops. A new wave of Qiang troops crossed the Yellow River again, with a number of 70000.


    First 50000, in the middle 30000, and then 70000, that is, 150000 Qiang troops crossed the Yellow River. Liu Yan was determined to confirm this.


    Yao Yizhong brought nearly 400000 people, but there are definitely not so many people who can really be used in combat. 50000 Qiang troops have appeared in Dongping County, and 150000 have crossed the Yellow River. You can imagine what goods are left on the North Bank of the Yellow River.


    On this day, the general moved to Liu Yan in Licheng. He took people to the watchtower and looked to the north of Jishui. In fact, he couldn''t see much from a distance.


    "Where are the troops mobilized from the Yuzhou battlefield?"


    "Back to you, the fastest has entered the boundary of Dongping County, and the slowest is in the boundary of Lu county."


    Strangely enough, the so-called fastest marching troops are the infantry returning to the east by boat, but the cavalry are left behind by land.


    There are not many water systems in the Central Plains. Of course, the largest waterway is the Yellow River. There are a large number of diversion around the Yellow River, most of which can carry boats. If you make good use of it, it is absolutely convenient to March.


    It is not unusual for the Chinese civilized army to use the water system to March, especially in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period. The Qi army used to arrive in Korea directly by boat through the Yellow River, and even directly transported the luggage outside Hangu pass by boat. I don''t know what happened later. Apart from the emperor Xiaowu of the Western Han Dynasty, he also used the Yellow River, so he set up a building ship general. However, the subsequent Chinese civilized army seemed to forget that the Yellow River was also able to march by boat and transport luggage.


    Well, in fact, the Yellow River has been diverted again and again. After repeated diversion, some sections have become extremely dangerous.


    At present, the location of the Yellow River is also different from that of the later Chinese dynasty. Not only is the whole river channel different, but also the estuary is different. The most outrageous thing is that even the coastline is different.


    There is a huge difference between the current coastline and the coastline after 1700 years. First, there is a large area of land missing, which is also the reason why the Yellow River has not "pushed" out a lot of sediment. The estuary of the Yellow River more than 1100 years later has moved more than 100 miles to the sea!


    Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction: "the first batch of troops, 20000 infantry troops will return first, so..." he looked at Ji Chang.


    "We have erected the necessary bridges before and need to be able to connect at any time." Ji Chang was talking about Jishui. He said, "in fact, we should invest our troops in the near future."


    Seeing that Yao Yizhong is a cautious and suspicious person, the Han Army has given enough doubts. If the Qiang army has 150000 crossing the river, but the Han Army still has no big moves on this side, it is difficult to ensure that Yao Yizhong will not make any other moves, including withdrawing to the North Bank of the Yellow River.


    Liu Yan is not afraid of things. He knows what he should do.


    With the follow-up troops of the Qiang Army crossing the river again, Liu Yan moved the Xingyuan again, the Han Army crossed Jishui, and 30000 Han troops including Liu Yan drove directly into Luoyin.


    Luoyin is a place with a history. Huo Qubing, the champion of the Xiaowu emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, forced the hunxie king to surrender. Later, the hunxie king was named Luoyin Hou by Liu Che. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei put the northeast of Qihe River into Luoyin county. Until the Western Jin Dynasty, it still belonged to Jinan county. Now Luoyin has been abandoned.


    In fact, the abandonment of Luoyin is only a microcosm of the central plains under the rule of Shijie. After all, the Hu people want to turn the central plains into pastures. There are few abandoned cities, and some famous cities have become ghost ruins. If history does not change, this situation will continue in the future. It will not be relatively improved until the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it will not be restored until the Sui and Tang Dynasties.


    Liu Yan led the army to Luoyin, which was a tonic for Yao Yizhong. Yao Yizhong was still anxious about the Han Army after crossing the Yellow River on a large scale, and became more and more suspicious with the passage of time.


    "How much?" Yao Yizhong suddenly widened his eyes: "only 30000?"


    How many Qiang troops cross the Yellow River? Not counting the combat power, it has reached more than 300000. That is a resettlement situation within tens of miles. If you count the necessary grazing and so on, it can be nearly a hundred miles.


    The fact is that Yao Yizhong did not encounter the Han Army after crossing the Yellow River. Under suspicion, he had a great hesitation about crossing the Jishui river. More than once, he had the idea of returning to the North Bank of the Yellow River. Just when he was about to make up his mind, the order from Xiang just arrived, and Liu Yan personally led the Han Army to Luoyin.


    The Han Army led by Liu Yan was indeed only 30000, of which only nearly 10000 cavalry, and the rest were infantry. In addition, Han warships have appeared on Jishui, and the number seems to be considerable?


    Since Liu Yan led the army and the ships of the Han Army also appeared on Jishui, Yao Yizhong should know that the prelude to the war was officially opened.


    To Yao Yizhong''s surprise, although Liu Yan mobilized a large number of ships into Jishui, he had to ask, "have you found the following Han army?"


    At present, no one can answer Yao Yizhong. He will get the news from sun Fudu in three days. Sun Fudu found that there was a Han Army fleet passing through the Jishui reach of Dongping County, which is still very large in scale.


    By the time sun Fudu''s information was sent, Yao Yizhong had brought the army to camp in the northwest of Luoyin. The cavalry of both sides had even fought several times. Even the Qiang army had tried to attack the Han Army camp, but the Qiang army did not get any advantage in the battle, whether it was cavalry fighting or attacking the camp.


    The barracks built by the two armies are about ten miles apart, and the space left in the middle is of course the battlefield. If you look at it from a high altitude, you can see that the Qiang army with absolute superiority has more than 20 times larger camps than the Han army. When Yao Yizhong set up the Qiang army camp, he also considered more, showing a layout of Yanyue, which almost half surrounded the small Han Army camp.


    The two sides set up their own camps, and the fighting has not stopped since the moment they fought against each other, such as now.


    Liu Yan likes to climb high and look far. Everywhere he goes, he must build a high enough lookout platform in the Chinese Army area. Now he is at a high place with his subordinates to watch another attack by the Qiang army.


    There is no uniform for Qiang people. The dense crowd looks colorful. Most of them are wearing sheep fur coats. According to Sang Yu, it is hard for Hu people to wear thick sheep fur coats on such a hot day.


    Sheep fur jacket has always been used as a layer of armor by Hu people. Indeed, it can play a certain role in preventing arrows, that is, it can endure at a temperature of about 30 degrees and has great endurance.


    At this time, sang Yu was looking at the attacking troops with a single telescope. He would comment from time to time. For example, he is now saying, "it is still the largest number of miscellaneous Hu and Jin people."


    For only six days, Yao Yizhong sent troops to attack every day and harassed every night. It was clear that he bullied the Han army.


    The existence of a telescope can take a panoramic view of what is happening in front of you. If you have enough fun, you can even catch the shot arrows and follow them.


    Outside the stronghold, the enemy is attacking. In front of the stronghold are the necessary melee troops, behind them are the archers and crossbows with clear echelons, and then behind them are the equipment troops such as crossbows, bed crossbows and stone throwing carts.


    If you look at the past, with the range of various weapons as the boundary, there are layers of corpses with different freshness outside


    ... split... Cut... Line
