Chapter 624 Recovering Yanzhou
In Pingyang County, Yanzhou, an army of [-] troops is marching.They were originally the Cao army stationed in Qingzhou. Just over a month ago, Cao Ziyan got the news that after the Hengshan army defeated Donghu in the grassland, he immediately dispatched them to the north to station in Yanzhou.At the same time, soldiers and horses were recruited from various places and gathered in the north.

However, neither Cao Ziyan nor this army thought of it.Lin Yifan stabilized the grassland so quickly and led a hundred thousand cavalry to the south.Because of the slow delivery of information, this news has only just arrived in the capital until now.

Although Cao Ziyan got the news, it was too late to order the army to defend the embankment.

At this time, the Qingzhou Cao army was marching slowly, and did not notice that a cavalry from the north was approaching them.

It didn't take long before I heard the muffled sound of thunder coming from the north.All the soldiers couldn't help but look up at the sky, only to see that the sky was dark, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

As the general of the Qingzhou Army, Fei Jin looked around, and found that the army had already reached the wilderness on all sides, and there was no place to hide, so he couldn't help but secretly cursed at the weather.Their large army not only came to Yanzhou to garrison, but was also responsible for escorting a large amount of explosives and artillery. If the gunpowder lost its effectiveness due to the heavy rain, then he would never want to be the leader again.

"Quickly, set up camp on the spot. Quickly pull the things behind you together and cover them with an oilcloth. Be careful not to get wet." Fei Jin reined in his horse and ordered immediately.

As a result, the one hundred thousand troops immediately moved into action, and those who set up camps set up camps, and those who covered them with tarpaulins were very busy.There are very few people on the field to enforce the guard. In their view, Yanzhou is their own situation, so there is no danger.

At this time, there was a loud thunder, and everyone was even more busy, for fear that they would delay sheltering from the rain and be drenched in water.

And on the plain in the north, a black shadow suddenly appeared, and more and more.

"What's that?" At this moment, the soldier in charge of security suddenly noticed the strange situation in the north, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Everyone looked at it together, and their expressions suddenly changed, "It's cavalry, our army doesn't have that many cavalry, it must be the enemy army, enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Fei Jin suddenly looked to the north, and was immediately stunned by the tide-like cavalry.

"Hurry up, assemble, blow the horn, and assemble quickly!" At this moment, the generals immediately galloped on their horses to convey orders to the entire army.

"Yes yes yes, assemble, assemble quickly." Only then did Fei Jin react, and he couldn't help shouting in a panic.

At this time, the troops who were busy setting up camp suddenly fell into chaos.In order to set up camp as soon as possible, they have put aside their weapons and equipment and went into battle lightly.At this time, the enemy must be attacking, so he hurriedly looked around for his weapons, and put on the leather armor in a hurry.

However, the Hengshan cavalry at this time were no more than one mile away from them.

Seeing the chaos on the opposite side, Lin Yifan couldn't help laughing, "God helped me, all soldiers, kill them!"

"Kill!" The [-] cavalry suddenly burst out with a strong killing intent. This kind of good deed of giving a head does not happen casually.

"Boom!" The [-] cavalry slammed into the chaotic Cao army like a storm, and swept across the area in an instant, constantly breaking into the army formation, wantonly massacring Miao.

"It's over, it's over!" Fei Jin looked at the rolling Hengshan cavalry with a pale face, and cried in despair.

"General, hurry up, if you don't leave, it will be too late." The guard next to him quickly came up to persuade him.

"If the [-] troops are gone, how can I explain to King Wei?" Fei Jin looked terrified and fell into boundless terror, how could he listen to the words of Jin's personal guards.

Seeing that the general was in chaos, all the guards immediately took Fei Jin's horse and fled southwards, regardless of his superiority or inferiority.

When the army found out that their main general had escaped, their morale was in turmoil. There was no more fighting spirit, and the entire army was in chaos.

Lin Yifan reined in his horse, looked at the fleeing enemy army, and couldn't help laughing, this battle was really easy. "Pass down the order, advise to surrender, give up your weapons and don't kill!"

An hour later, countless Cao soldiers knelt on the ground decadently, looking in horror at the Hengshan cavalry wandering around.

After some statistics, in this battle, more than 2 enemies were wiped out, and more than 6 people were captured.However, the Hengshan Army's casualties were only over [-], which can be described as a complete victory.

But what made Lin Yifan happiest was that after annihilating this large army, he actually seized a large amount of grain and supplies, as well as a large amount of explosives and artillery.Among them, the number of cannons reached more than [-], which made Lin Yifan feel very fortunate. If the [-] Cao troops arrived at the mouth of the tiger, with their strength and firepower, even his [-] cavalry might not be able to take down the camp.

With these gunpowder and explosives, Lin Yifan immediately led the cavalry to continue southward, attacking cities and villages all the way, without any disadvantages.This caused Yang Mingyuan, who was in the rear and deployed troops to deploy defenses in various parts of Yanzhou, to feel endless resentment in his heart.He had to order urgently to deploy troops from Mingzhou to assist in the defense.

After annihilating this Qingzhou Cao army, all over Yanzhou, except for the tens of thousands of Cao troops in Wanren Pass, there was no other force capable of resisting the Hengshan army's advance.In about half a month or so, the entire territory of Yanzhou, except Wanren Pass, was captured by Hengshan.

When Lin Yifan's cavalry arrived at the north bank of the Longjiang River, they saw a large number of naval warships cruising on the river, completely blocking the river.

Seeing this, Lin Yifan was not surprised at all. He had traveled all the way in Yanzhou, and the other party had already prepared himself for it.It's not that he didn't want to take the opportunity to enter Qingzhou, but without a strong navy, he didn't dare to cross the river easily. If someone cut off his way back, then his [-] cavalry would be trapped and died in the enemy's territory .

After occupying the banks of the Longjiang River for more than ten days, Yang Mingyuan finally arrived with [-] troops and set up camps at various crossings of the Longjiang River to prevent Cao Jun's navy from landing.

Only then did Lin Yifan lead the army northward to meet up with another cavalry and head straight for Wanren Pass.

During the next period, Lin Yifan sent a handwritten letter to Huazhou, appointed Zhang Zhongliang as Yanzhou appeasement envoy, and led a group of officials to Yanzhou to appease the people and manage all affairs in Yanzhou.

As an important minister under Qi Rui's tent back then, Zhang Zhongliang's reputation in Yanzhou can be said to be known to all women and children, and he is also well aware of the local customs and customs of Yanzhou.Therefore, there is no more suitable candidate than him in terms of personnel to stabilize the situation in Yanzhou.

Right now, Lin Yifan is more concerned about Cao Jun at Wanren Pass. Only when the tens of thousands of Cao Jun in Guanzhong are completely eliminated can Yan Prefecture be truly recovered.He didn't want to keep these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses by his side, worrying all day long.It's just that he also felt a headache for a while as to how to deal with the tens of thousands of Cao Jun who occupied the dangerous juncture as soon as possible.
