Chapter 330 Wei Jun Retreats
The Battle of Ruzhou started in the first lunar month and has been fought for more than four months.

Since Duoduo's attack on the stronghold was frustrated and he retreated to Ruzhou, the two parties entered the stage of confrontation, waiting for each other to reveal their flaws.

After all, Gao Yihuan has few people and land, and supplies, money and food are limited, and the Qing army's manpower and material resources are far superior to him.

Duoduo is not in a hurry to continue the confrontation. He judges that there will only be two situations and one ending in this battle.

The first situation is that Gao Yihuan is about to run out of food and is eager to fight, and Luoyang has been besieged for many days, and the food is already in a hurry. , the last battle to defeat the enemy.

The situation on the battlefield is so wonderful, changing rapidly, he sent a large army over, Gao Yihuan stood firm, he suffered heavy casualties due to hard work, Gao Yihuan took the initiative on the battlefield.

Now he has retreated to Ruzhou, relying on the advantages of the Qing Dynasty's large land and abundant resources, he confronted Gao Yihuan. Gao Yihuan couldn't afford it, so he had to come to him for a decisive battle, and he took the initiative.

Between this retreat and advance, the offensive and defensive positions changed, and the situation was completely reversed.

Of course, besides finding him for a decisive battle, Gao Yihuan also had another possibility, that is, regardless of Luoyang's life or death, he fled back to his lair in a hurry before the food ran out.

But this Gao Yihuan has done so many bad things, how could Duoduo let him retreat?
The distance between the two armies was only fifty or sixty miles. Duoduo had already ordered scouts to closely monitor Gao Yihuan's camp. Once Gao Yihuan ran out of food and retreated, he would press down on him and bite him, preventing him from retreating. After that, the army will cover up and kill him, which can also kill him a big defeat.

Therefore, in Duo Duo's view, if this battle continues, Gao Yihuan will either come to fight him decisively, or choose to retreat instead of saving Luoyang, but no matter what choice he makes, the result is bound to be a failure.

Wanting to understand this, Duoduo patiently stationed in Ruzhou, fighting with Gao Yi to see who could stand it first.

However, he waited for nearly four months.

In Ruzhou, on a hill outside the Huoshan camp of the Wei army, several Qing army scouts hid in the woods on the top of the mountain and monitored the Huoshan camp. Every move of the Wei army could be seen by them.

"Haven't you come here today?" A leader of the Qing army climbed up from the back of the mountain, lying beside a Qing army scout, and asked in a low voice.

"Not yet, it's been three days since the grain carts entered the camp!" The Qing army scout replied in a low voice.

At this moment, a person next to him pointed to the distance, "Here we come!"

The leader of the Qing army immediately looked up and saw a group of grain carts walking slowly towards the camp under the guard of soldiers on the road in the distance.

"There are only thirty vehicles, and half of the food trucks are missing!" The leader ordered the vehicles, with a sneer on his face, he suddenly stood up, and said to the others: "You guys continue to monitor, I will notify Prince Yu!"

In Duduo's temporary festival hall in Ruzhou City, a letter of decree was placed in front of his case.

After reading it, Duoduo stood in front of a map with his hands behind his back with a gloomy face, and stared at the border in Guanzhong with dark eyes.

At this time, a scout entered the hall, clapped the sleeves of the horseshoe, saluted Doduo, and reported loudly, "My lord, I was ordered to monitor the bandit camp and found the food and grass sent by the bandit soldiers. Another half less."

Hearing the words, Duoduo couldn't help being refreshed. He looked away from the map and turned to stare at the scouts, "Oh, how many times is this reduction?"

The scout replied: "Reporting to the lord, since entering April, this is already the fifth decrease."

Duoduo couldn't help but sneered when he heard the words, "How much food did you bring this time?"

"Exactly thirty carts of grain!"

"It's only thirty cars, how many meals can tens of thousands of horses eat?" Duoduo said with joy, "Gao Manzi has been struggling for four months, and he is finally about to run out of food! Haha~"

Gao Manzi didn't understand the truth that poverty should not be fought with wealth, so I acted as his teacher and taught him a good lesson.

Ruzhou, Huoshan Camp of the Wei Army, Gao Yihuan, dressed in black armor, stood outside the camp on horseback.

The Wei army soldiers of the brigade lined up and walked out of the camp.

Gao Yihuan and his generals stood on a high slope. Looking down, there was a crowd of people on the road. The Wei army was like a black snake running through the hills, spreading for several miles, and moving to Jiaxian County in the southeast.

In the ranks, the banners and flags of the various ministries of the Wei Army were half-rolled and rolling, but there was no sound, and the army marched with the flags and drums silent.

At this time, the sun was rising in the east, and Gao Yihuan stood on the half slope, and saw the mountains in the east, which were covered with a layer of gold by the rising sun. The scenery was magnificent and made him feel heroic.

"Li Jiyu and Zhao Mingchong listen to your orders." Gao Yihuan pressed the knife with one hand and put one hand on his waist, majestically, he suddenly shouted orders.

"The last general is here!" Both of them clasped their fists together, because the movement was too big, the armor on their bodies rattled.

Gao Yihuan looked at the two of them and said: "The two of you bring half a month's army rations and stay behind. If Duoduo comes to attack, you only need to block for a day. When the commander retreats to Jia County, you can retreat to the two-wing mountains and forests. If Duoduo's army goes After chasing me, the two of you will harass Duoduo Liangdao from the flanks! Do you understand what I said?"

"The end general will know!" The two accepted their orders solemnly.

Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "Okay, you two go get ready!"

The two were ordered to prepare, Gao Yihuan immediately called out loudly: "Jin Shenghuan, Xu Heihu, Hu Dawei listen to the order!"

"The end is here!" The three of them walked out in a hurry, clasping fists loudly.

Gao Yihuan looked at the three of them, and said in a deep voice: "You lead the two battalions of Dragon Riders and Xuanhu, and you can take advantage of this commander's opportunity to attract Duoduo, go east to Yingshui, and then go upstream to avoid the main force of the Qing army. , entered Shaoshi Mountain, passed Dagu Pass, and drove directly to the city of Luoyang."

As he said that, Gao Yihuan's face became serious: "You must remember that you can't love to fight. If you open a gap, you will withdraw immediately. You must withdraw before Duoduo returns to the division, otherwise the way of retreat will be blocked by the Qing army, and this commander will not be able to save you! "

The three of them glanced at each other and solemnly clasped their fists together, "Don't worry, Commander, we will fulfill our mission!"

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, "You go to Jia County first, and then turn to Luoyang after you get out of the Qing army's eyeliner. I will leave Luoyang to you."

At this time, Gao Yihuan and Duoduo were confronting each other at close range, and every move was in the eyes of the other party. He could only complete the mobilization of the army by retreating back to get the army out of the scope of the Qing army's scouts.

His plan was to show weakness and withdraw his troops to attract Doduo's attention, and then send elite soldiers to attack Luoyang to rescue Li Yan out of the city.

Of course, there are still more than 1 Qing troops outside Luoyang City. Even if a gap is opened, those who can escape can only depend on the destiny.

At this time, Gao Yihuan looked around at the crowd, pulled the reins of the horse, and shouted loudly: "The rest of the people will retreat to Jia County first, and then to Xiangcheng."
