Chapter 940 Shu Han Sends Troops
The fall of Hengshan Pass opened the curtain for the Longxiang Army to attack Jiangyang County.
Almost at the same time that the Luo Shixin Department took Hengshan Pass, the Great Xia Left Route Army came to the Children's Care Department to take the southeast gate of Jiangyang County - Jiulong Pass.
In one day, two important passes fell at the same time.
Feng Qingyang got the report, his face was extremely ugly, and he exploded on the spot, questioning Wei Yan, who was in charge of the military affairs of the territory: "If two passes are lost in one day, are the soldiers of the Second Army all ****?!"
"..."
Wei Yan was speechless, but the master got angry and really said everything.
"Check, find out for me exactly how the Hengshan Pass and the Jiulong Pass were lost." Feng Qingyang felt a faint unease in his heart, and he had a premonition that the reason might not be that simple.
"promise!"
Wei Yan didn't want to stay longer, so he took orders and left. In fact, Wei Yan wanted to know the reason more than Feng Qingyang. If he didn't figure out how the pass was lost, he wouldn't be able to fight the next battle.
…………
In just one day, all kinds of intelligence gathered.
Feng Qingyang's bad premonition came true one by one.
Aircraft, grenades, detachable siege vehicles, new artillery, and the same new equipment made Feng Qingyang dizzy.
"How the hell do you fight?" Feng Qingyang unknowingly swears again. The defense chain that he thought was indestructible suddenly turned into tofu. There is no worse news than this.
Even Feng Qingyue frowned, her intuition came true, the real purpose of Daxia stirring up the whole wilderness this time was to take down Swordsman City.
Otherwise, they wouldn't bother to prepare such weapons and equipment specifically for Shu.
The future of Swordsman City suddenly became precarious.
The Yousi in Feng Qingyue's eyes became more intense, "That man is really ruthless!"
"What did Di Chen say?" Feng Qingyue asked her elder brother.
Mentioning this, Feng Qingyang became even angrier, and scolded: "Those black-hearted ghosts said that the terrain of Shu is complicated, and reinforcements can't help now. It's better to wait for the Great Xia army to reach Swordsman City, and then fight to the death."
"..."
Feng Qingyue was also speechless. Although what Di Chen said had some truth, why did it sound so irritating.
While restricting the invading enemy, the dangerous terrain of Shu also restricted the deployment of Jianxia City's own troops in a disguised form. Just like what Di Chen said, even if one hundred thousand troops are temporarily dispatched to Jianxia City, there is nowhere to deploy them.
Arranged in the major passes?
The pass is just that big, and it is useless to have more troops, and Daxia used air strikes, so there are too many people, it is like eating dumplings, and the casualties are even greater, which is of no avail.
Arranged in major cities?
For a city without a city wall, no amount of troops deployed would be enough for the Great Xia Army.
Just like this, the two field armies of the Daxia Dragon Army still remain in Dongchuan County, because before the situation is completely opened, it is useless for Daxia to send more troops into Shu, but it will cause huge damage to the logistics. The load is not worth the candle.
At present, the two legions of Daxia stay in Dongchuan County, which is not only a deterrent, but also can reinforce the front line at any time. It is really a good idea.
Feng Qingyue is worthy of being a female Zhuge, and she has basically seen through the deployment of Long Xiang's army from just a few clues. But so what if you see it through, Da Xia is a conspiracy.
After much deliberation, there is only one way for Swordsman City to go, and that is to resist resolutely along the way, gradually consume the Great Xia army, wait for the Great Xia army to fight all the way to Swordsman City, and then fight to the death in this open area.
As the main city, Swordsman City has been repaired with majestic walls.
Swordsman City is located at the southernmost tip of Jiangyang County. If we really want to do this, it will be tantamount to handing over nine tenths of Jiangyang County. This is undoubtedly a huge loss for Swordsman City, which only has two counties.
Even if the Great Xia Army was defeated at that time, it would be a loss for both sides.
After all the calculations, Swordsman City will suffer a lot.
"What is this called?"
Feng Qingyang was extremely depressed, he had no intention of fighting for hegemony, but unexpectedly, he was the first to be provoked by Da Xia.
…………
What was Dichen thinking? It's not as vicious as Feng Qingyang thought. Di Chen's reluctance to immediately reinforce Swordsman City involved a grand strategy in addition to the objective considerations of the terrain of Shu.
A few days ago, the work of the four lords of Dali County had been done by them. The four territories were merged into one place, and there was a full 50,000 troops. If they apply for asylum again in Dali Royal City, there will be another 50,000 imperial guards.
Although there were no emperors in the Dali Imperial City, the Dali court had already come forward to protect the four territories during the Yunnan War, so there was a slight connection.
Coupled with the secret assistance of the player in Dali Palace, mobilizing 50,000 imperial guards is not considered a violation of the rules of the game, and Gaia will not stop it.
Of course, if you want to exceed the upper limit of 50,000 soldiers, that is impossible.
Gaia, as the top intellectual brain and the main god of the game, has its own set of accurate judgment methods.
[Xiao Meng] There is also a letter of approval, and they are willing to arrange 100,000 combat professional players to help out. Xiao Nianying bet this time, taking almost half of the guild's combatants as bets.
That's right, Xiao Nianying is an indecisive person who can seize the opportunity to stand out in the battle for guarding the guild, and become the largest group of dark horses in the guild circle in China in one fell swoop.
If you really want to make up your mind, you have enough courage to give it a go.
Of course, part of Xiao Nianying's confidence came from the grand plan of Di Chen and others. Since there are 100,000 regular troops to help out in this attack, Xiao Nianying has nothing to be afraid of.
In this way, the Dali coalition army has a huge force of 200,000.
At present, apart from the two legions temporarily stationed in Dongchuan County, the only troops guarding the province of Yunnan in Daxia are the First Legion of the Longxiang Army guarding Lingxi City.
If the Dali Allied Forces want to make a difference, they must at least bring the two legions of Dongchuan County into Shu. Of course, it would be great if the First Army of the Dragon Army could also be lured away.
It was because of this consideration that Di Chen was unwilling to immediately reinforce Jianxia City.
Feng Qingyang is self-willed, and Di Chen doesn't want to explain this plan to Feng Qingyang in detail, for fear of causing Feng Qingyang's backlash, and he won't cooperate well at that time.
How could Dichen have thought that Feng Qingyang would take another path because of this.
…………
September 8th, Swordsman City.
In three days, two more passes fell, which meant that two more cities fell.
Seeing that Dichen and the others were still indifferent, Feng Qingyang finally couldn't sit still, and made up his mind, "The matter has come to this point, and there is no room for deliberation. Just apply for asylum from the Shuhan Dynasty."
The repeated blows made Feng Qingyang want to quit.
In Feng Qingyang's mind, once he took shelter of the Shuhan Dynasty this time, the safety of Swordsman City would naturally be worry-free. No matter how powerful the Great Xia Dynasty is, it cannot beat the Shuhan Dynasty at this moment.
In this way, he can completely let go of the troubles of the territory and concentrate on martial arts.
"As expected of a martial idiot!"
Feng Qingyang can be regarded as not loving the country, but loving martial arts!
Although Feng Qingyue was not reconciled to this, she had no reason to stop her brother's choice. That morning, Feng Qingyang submitted an asylum application to the Shu Han Dynasty, and was waiting for Liu Bei's approval.
…………
Chengdu, the Imperial Palace.
Liu Bei had long been looking forward to unifying Shu.
After receiving Feng Qingyang's asylum application, Liu Bei smiled knowingly, and naturally agreed.
As soon as Swordsman City and the Shuhan Dynasty established a relationship of dependence, Liu Bei couldn't wait to recruit Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, two military advisers, to discuss reinforcements for Swordsman City.
One million imperial guards, that is a force never seen in the most prosperous period of the Shu Han Dynasty in history. With this large army, Liu Bei was afraid of who would come, and wished he could fight Da Xia immediately to avenge his brother's death.
After a little leaning, two military advisers came lightly.
Zhuge Liang was still so gentle and refined, with the attitude that everything was under control.
The fact is also the same. To put it bluntly, although the deaths of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are painful, it is a great benefit to Zhuge Liang's situation in the Shuhan Dynasty.
Without the restraint of these two people, Zhuge Liang almost covered the sky with one hand in the Shuhan Dynasty.
In the army, Zhao Yun, the only surviving general among the five tiger generals, is Zhuge Liang's confidant, and Huang Zhong's attitude towards Zhuge Liang is also very friendly.
Not to mention the civil official group, most of them are Zhuge Liang's disciples.
Compared with Zhuge Liang's comfort, Pang Tong's face was pale, obviously he was not doing well in the Shuhan Dynasty, and he was always on the verge of sitting on the bench.
Even so, Pang Tong is still very loyal to Liu Bei. A long time ago, Ouyang Shuo tried to instigate Pang Tong through Zhou Yu, but he has not succeeded so far.
Of course, Pang Tong didn't refuse outright, leaving a way out.
According to Zhou Yu's report, due to being idle for too long, Pang Tong's will has shown signs of loosening. When Ouyang Shuo got the news, he smiled without saying a word, he had a lot of patience.
It is estimated that winning Pang Tong is only a matter of time.
"The military adviser thinks, who should be sent to fight?" Liu Bei named Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang was not surprised at all.
A few days ago when Swordsman City sent an envoy, Zhuge Liang was preparing for the expedition, and replied: "You can send Zilong to lead 150,000 imperial guards to reinforce Swordsman City."
This time, Zhuge Liang never thought that he would fail. In this case, Zhuge Liang naturally wanted to give the opportunity to make meritorious service to his confidant Zhao Yun.
"Do you want to accompany the military division?" Liu Bei asked.
Zhuge Liang shook his head in surprise, and said: "This time, we are a guest army, so it's not good to overwhelm the host. It's better for me not to go. And if my minister's prediction is correct, this big battle should be a fight to the death in Swordsman City. It relies on strength and does not need any strategic assistance."
Liu Bei nodded, and was about to agree with Zhuge Liang's arrangement, when he glanced over and noticed Pang Tong who was a little lonely beside him, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "In that case, let Zhilong be the general and Shi Yuan the military advisor."
After hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were startled.
Regardless of Zhuge Liang's playful expression, Pang Tong had already stepped forward to take the order: "No!" Pang Tong had long wanted to go out to get some air, and he didn't want to stay in Chengdu, which made him feel suffocated.
In this way, things are settled like this.
On September 9th, at the invitation of Swordsman City, the Shu Han Dynasty, with Zhao Yun as the main general and Pang Tong as the military adviser, led 150,000 imperial guards out of the king's city to reinforce Swordsman City.
As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.
