Chapter 603

Murong ke'ai, recognized as the first general of the state of Yan, led the Murong Yan army to fight everywhere at the age of 14 to improve the sable and leopard cavalry of the state of Yan.

Because his appearance was really handsome, Murong Ke wore a mask because he was worried that he did not have enough deterrent to the enemy. Later, he formed the habit that he would wear a mask every battle. Over time, his subordinates followed suit, and some of his opponents called his subordinates face armour army.

Now Murong Ke is 27 years old and has many descendants. There are three legitimate sons alone. I heard that most of his children inherit his beauty? At this moment, he is standing on an arrow tower and watching the Qiushui River from a distance. There are dense Han Army ships on the river. Four river crossing bridges have shown scale, and the Han Army has crossed the water and landed on the East Bank of Qiushui.

Murong Yan's army stationed in Qiushui River did not try to stop the Han Army, but in the face of the crossbow and bed crossbow fired by the Han Army's ships, Murong Ke gave up blocking the landing without too many casualties.

Murongke certainly didn't want to watch the Han Army cross the river easily. In fact, in addition to arranging the necessary blocking forces, he had built a large number of rafts upstream. He wanted to light a fire and let them drift down from the upstream with the waves, but the Han Army had taken precautions long ago. Not only did he appear in time to attack, Even if there were some burning rafts downstream, they were set up by the Han Army and stopped by things across the two sides.

A series of attempts to intercept failed to achieve results. What can murongyan army do except watch the Han Army build bridges across the river? For murongyan army, the situation is more than that. The Han Army's fleet does not appear alone in Qiushui, and the Han Army's fleet also appears frequently in the water with a direct channel to the Bohai Sea.

Murong Yan didn't have a navy, or they didn't have a navy. They found that the navy of Han was large and threatening, and began to develop a navy. In the fifth year of the Han and Yuan Dynasties, they accepted a group of people from the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It can be regarded as having people familiar with the Navy, so they can seriously develop the Navy.

Now it is the seventh year of Yuanshuo. The size of Murong Yanguo Navy is about 40 warships, and boats and rafts are not easy to calculate.

It is reasonable to say that when a country begins to pay attention to some aspects, it will not build 40 large and small warships with its will, resources and manpower in two years. Murong Yan country is not a country without craftsmanship system, but shipbuilding must be placed on the side of the river. The question is, does the Han parliament turn a blind eye to those shipbuilding bases?

"The coast has almost been eroded, and the situation around the river is no better." Liu Xiang was a deeply resentful and helpless expression: "fortunately, he had moved people long ago, otherwise..."

Murong Ke is not wearing a mask now, and his handsome face is full of haze.

To tell the truth, murongyan was not afraid of the Han state at the beginning. It can even be said that he was confident of winning the war against the Han Army, but the situation changed greatly in the fourth year of Yuanshuo.

In the fourth year of Yuanshuo, the state of Han was an enemy all over the world.

At that time, Murong Yan state was the most beautiful stage. All countries in the Northeast trembled under the military front of Murong Yan state, and the materials prepared for the southern expedition for nearly ten years were also piled up.

At that time, although Shijie Zhao lost Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou, Sizhou and Yuzhou, Shijie Zhao was still a behemoth.

At that time, tingguang in the small Eastern Jin Dynasty was also very bright on the surface. Not only 200000 troops were intact, but also the Yangtze River navy was also large in scale. In terms of human and material resources, it was still the richest country in the world.

At that time, Li's Chenghan, Zhang's Liangguo and Tuoba's daiguo, no matter how they look at it, they can be powerful. Without them, they won't hurt the overall situation.

The situation in the eastern countries began to change as the soldiers of the Han Dynasty moved south

Although Li Chenghan's country was weak, the terrain of Li Chenghan took advantage of the defensive war. No one expected that the Han parliament would destroy Li Chenghan within three months.

"Huan Wen can be called a general, that is, he is really despised." Murong Ke looked like a middle-aged beautiful man even if he showed a mocking expression: "regardless of the friendship of his home country, he led the troops to attack and destroy the state of Jin and later presided over the bloody cleaning, which is not like a son of man."

According to the time of the central surrender of the small imperial court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the war to destroy the country took only four months, but it took nearly three years to extinguish the recalcitrant forces and local aristocratic families.

No matter which country, unless there are repeated wars, it is regarded as destruction by the surrender of the central government. No matter how you look, it can not be regarded as the weak small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It really surprised too many people. In a way, it can also explain the strength of the Han army.

In the early stage of Murong Yan state, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was regarded as the new moon. It can be seen that the Murong family still recognized the power of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In 343 ad, they refused to take the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty as the new moon again. In the same year, they held a founding ceremony to establish the country, but it is not enough to show that they no longer recognize the strength of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but they just feel that they no longer need to borrow the name of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

It should be said that after the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty, various Hu forces no longer regarded Chinese and Miao people as powerful as strong men. From the fact that only the former Zhao (Xiongnu Han state) claimed the title of emperor, and then shile and Shihu claimed the title of emperor first, and then removed the title of emperor by themselves, the Hu forces of the other parties only claimed the title of king, and the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty claimed the title of emperor, it can be seen that the Hu people were hesitant about whether the Chinese and Miao people really became vulnerable (it can be seen that the power of the Han Empire).

"Brother, I'm going to be emperor..." Murong Ke looked like a wry smile: "I've never seen an emperor who wants to lead the people to migrate immediately after I've been emperor."

"The king wants to inspire the morale of the army and the people." Liu Xiang has a solemn expression: "Liu Yan is only the king. The king can press Liu Yan from his momentum."

Of course, the emperor is bigger than the king, but are those who claim the emperor really stronger than those who claim the king? Sometimes fame is really very important, and sometimes it is purely useless.

Murong Ke smiled bitterly to himself. Murong Jun's claim to the Emperor may help improve his people's morale, but he knew that Murong Jun wanted to disgust Liu Yan and finally have a good time.

Liu Xiang's solemn expression disintegrated at once. While his cheeks twitched constantly, he burst into bitter laughter.

"The West Route Army and the East Route Army are just trying to buy time for the domestic transfer." Murong Ke fully understood what Murong Jun's mentality was, but he still felt oppressed: "Dayan has been preparing for going south for 13 years... It's 13 years!"

Murong Ke led the army for the first time 13 years ago. At that time, Murong Xianbei wanted to defeat Yuwen Xianbei, Tuoba Xianbei and other Xianbei. He also achieved his goal of strengthening himself from the civil war. Later, he crippled Koguryo. Fuyu, Shenguo, Quwo, Lou... Even those savages who had been hunting in the deep mountains and forests for many years were not cleaned up, It can be said that everything is developing in a better direction.

If there were no accidents, Murong Xianbei would have to spend another ten years to accumulate strength after 13 years of preliminary preparation. Therefore, they broke out a war with Shijie Zhao in Youzhou in 342. At that time, Murong Yan army fought against Shi Hu with a force several times less than Shijie Zhao army and won the war, The purpose is to frighten Shi Hu, so that Shi Jie Zhao dare not look east easily, and can have a more stable external environment for internal war preparation.

"If you can do it again..." Murong Ke said half of it. He didn't say anything again. If he said it, he would appear very weak, which he didn't want to show. He adjusted his mood and asked Liu Xiang, "how are you getting ready?"

Liu Xiang is the long march history of Murong Yanguo West Road army. He can participate in Murong Ke's whole combat operation. Some things are arranged through him, that is to say, "it's ready."

It is impossible to block the Han Army on the West Bank of Qiushui, because the Han Army ships have sharp long-range attack power and are not easy to fight on the river bank. Murongke's plan is to let the Han Army cross the river and take two miles away from the East Bank of Qiushui as the first battlefield.

Qiushui is a river with a long history. Its general width is about one mile. Because it is a grassland extending beyond the ancient Great Wall (the great wall of Yan in the Warring States period), it is even connected with Bao River. It has been in a state of high water level for a long time.

At this stage, the ice and snow are melting everywhere. Although it is not higher than the flood season when the ice and snow have just melted, the river surface of the hill water is still much higher than usual, and the river water also appears relatively turbulent. It is precisely because of this that Murong Ke wants to put down the burning raft from the upstream. Unfortunately, the Han country has long been arranged and failed to succeed.

Murong Ke was originally speaking, but he stopped, and there was an obvious fear on his face: "Hussars general ran, is it Shi Min?"

Liu Xiang tried to narrow his eyes and looked into the distance. Due to myopia, he saw a conspicuous flag, but he couldn't see the words on the flag clearly.

The military banners of the Han Army have different specifications. From the song compiled by a thousand people, they are qualified to configure the number banners, but they are not qualified to embroider any text except the number on the banners up to the military level. Those who can embroider text other than the number are general levels, usually official positions and surnames, In particular, Liu Yan's King flag will only have phoenix pattern, and there will be no other.

In the past, there were only ordinary signals and banners around the Qiushui battlefield. Murong Ke could tell which Han army appeared from the signals. In a way, he asked the Han army of that number for the first time what achievements they had. If possible, he would make some appropriate arrangements according to the achievements of that number.

Ran min's military flag did indeed appear on the West Bank of Qiushui, and the new troops were also exposed in the sight of Murong Yan army.

"The bridge... Is about to pass." Liu Xiang could not hide his surprise: "in only three hours, the enemy could repair four crossing bridges?!"

Yes, the four crossing bridges on the river have been almost repaired. Some warships are used as the balance fulcrum, and many very large wooden rafts are fixed by iron chains. Murong Yan's army can't look too carefully from a distance. In fact, the wooden rafts and wooden rafts are pieced together respectively, and then pulled and fixed by external forces to form a floating bridge that can be passed by people. (refer to the plan of the U.S. Army to build a river crossing pontoon in World War II)

Because many wooden rafts were fixed together, it was impossible to see the relationship between the bridge and its quick repair in advance. Murongke's previous judgment was that the Han army would take at least four or five days to repair it. When he saw the emergence of a new Han Army led by ran min, the next moment he saw that four bridges had been repaired. Without saying a word, he quickly went to the climbing ladder and went down the arrow tower.

"Inform Li Hong that a large number of Han troops will cross the east bank soon!" Murong Ke turned over healthily, put on the war horse brought by the pro guard, took the long gun handed over, and looked at Liu Xiang: "long history and go back to the camp. I need to get close and have a good look at the enemy."

Liu Xiang listened to this when he came to the arrow tower. After a little hesitation, he saluted: "promise!"

The landforms on both sides of the hilly water are similar, just like the terrain near many beaches, showing an environment full of weeds but relatively stable terrain. After leaving the beach, some naturally growing trees and shrubs appear dense and lush, and there are only so many man-made roads.

On the West Bank of Qiushui, a large number of trees were cut down by the Han army. In addition to preventing murongyan's arms attack and facilitating sneak attack, they were also used locally, which made Xi'an look like a mess destroyed by ten people.

Murong Yan army did not change the environment on the East Bank of Qiushui. It was Murong Ke's original appearance, which was conducive to defense. On the contrary, the Han Army did a lot of damage after landing on the east bank, including clearing the grass and cutting down the trees that covered the line of sight.

The Han army who crossed the river and landed made small-scale explorations to deeper places. The fighting between the two armies of different camps in the forest continued. Generally speaking, the Han army encountered firm and tenacious resistance, and even scouts could not go through the forest to spy on the back.

Ran min rode across Zhu Longma in full military uniform. He squinted at Qiu Shui and said to Liu Yi next to him in an extremely ironic tone: "there must be fire oil in the dense forest, and then there must be heavy soldiers on standby."

However, Liu Yi took a swipe on his cheek and criticized in his heart: [it's not clear whether there is any oil of fire. It's necessary for you to guess if there is intelligence to spy on the heavy troops]

The so-called heavy troops of Murong Yan state are behind the forest, which is basically what Liu Yan spied out by "cheating", which means he has enough knowledge of what Murong Ke wants to do next.

"Yan Jun's first war general is a famous general who bullies small countries and few people. He doesn't care at all." Ran min was right to say that when Shi Hu enlisted Murong Yan, Murong Ke did not lead the army alone. Murong Ke has been active in small countries in the northeast. He estimated that enough ridicule was enough, and the flag that could cross the river came from the front, so he ordered: "cross the river!"
