Chapter 251
Seeing that both Yue Ze and Li Xin were doubtful, Lu Yi reacted quickly and said hurriedly: "My king has always admired these two gentlemen very much! TXT download! When the king sent a villain to escort the prisoners, he also specifically asked the villain to ask for it. Remind the two gentlemen to send the supplies to the Feng and Yu armies in time."
He said this very skillfully, and did not explain why Tang Yin gave the prisoners of the Zhen Army to Yue Ze and Li Xin, but the implication was that Tang Yin deliberately wanted to please him in order to get supplies from the Feng Yu Allied Army in time. The two of them were specially sent here as prisoners.
After hearing this, Yue Ze and Li Xin looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and at the same time dispelled their doubts.
Li Xin said with a smile: "When Mr. Lu Yi returns, please tell Brother Tang Wang that we are all brothers in the alliance, regardless of each other. Brother Yue Wang and I will never delay the supplies for the two armies, and they will be delivered in the near future. "
After hearing this, Lu Yi showed an expression of relief, smiled and saluted the two of them repeatedly, and said: "Thank you so much, Your Highnesses An Wang and Huan Wang. I will definitely bring the message from the two Highnesses to the king, and the king will definitely understand." Very happy.”
"Haha!" Li Xin laughed on his back and waved to Lu Yi, indicating that he could leave.
Who says there are no benefits to be gained from doing logistics? Wasn't Tang Yin afraid that he would delay the supply of the Fengyu Allied Forces, so he sent 10,000 Zhenjun prisoners to please him?
After Lu Yi left, Li Xin smiled at Yue Ze and said, "Brother King Yue, now we can study and study how we led the army to annihilate more than 10,000 enemy troops, and by the way, we will pass on the victory report to Brother Xiao Wang." !”
Yue Ze also laughed heartily. One of his own troops had killed more than Wan Zhen's army without losing any blood. This kind of good thing was a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Just as Tang Yin expected, sending the prisoners of the Zhen Army to Yue Ze and Li Xin was equivalent to pushing these prisoners into the ghost gate.
In order to make meritorious service and to make themselves look good, the Anhuan coalition forces in charge of logistics were not polite at all to the prisoners of the Zhen army and killed them all. In the end, they even glorified their results after encountering the main force of the Zhen army and fighting bloody battles.
However, there is no airtight wall in the world. The Anhuan coalition forces can achieve the same caliber up and down, but Tang Yin has quietly let out the wind, indicating that the Zhenjun killed by the Anhuan coalition were all Zhen soldiers captured in the battle to pass the customs. Will.
Let's talk about the Fengyu Allied Forces, after they secured the pass, they continued to advance westward until they reached Huan, the county seat of Canglin County in the Zhen Kingdom. It stands to reason that when the Fengyu coalition forces hit Huan, the Sichuan-Mozambique coalition forces would also arrive, and the two coalition forces should be advancing hand in hand.
However, the Fengyu coalition defeated the pass too quickly, and the Sichuan-Morocco coalition attacking Jingguan on the other side did not go so smoothly. It took two armies to attack Jingguan for two days. The losses were considerable and they needed to rest and recuperate. This made the Sichuan-Morocco coalition The westward advance was delayed a lot of time.
Since the Sichuan-Moscow coalition forces had not yet caught up, the task of attacking Huan fell on the Fengyu coalition forces.
During the cooperation between the two armies, the generals of the Yu Army were able to see how powerful the Feng Army's intelligence capabilities were. Almost every move in Zhenguo's country was in the Feng Army's intelligence network, and intelligence from all walks of life was continuously sent back like a revolving lantern. This allowed the Fengyu Allied Forces to have a clear understanding of Zhenguo's preparations for war.
At present, Zhenguo has urgently assembled more than one million central troops in Xitang. Zhenguo's general Gu Anmin has led 400,000 central troops as the front army and is heading towards Canglin.
It can be seen that Zhenguo intends to fight to the death with the six-nation coalition forces in Canglin County without giving in.
In this case, it is crucial whether the Fengyu Allied Forces can capture the county town of Huan before the main force of the Central Army of Zhen Kingdom arrives, and it is also directly related to whether the Six Nations Allied Forces can take the initiative in future wars. .
Huan is the county seat of Canglin and the largest city in the county. Its location is not dangerous. It is surrounded by flat plains. It is suitable for the attacking party to launch an offensive. However, Huan's city defense is very strong and there are many surrounding areas. The moat and city wall are three feet high, and the garrison in the city is more than 50,000.
The military configuration of the Zhen Kingdom is different from that of other countries. The division between the central army and the local army is very vague, not as clear as other countries. It can be said that the local army of the Zhen Kingdom is brought to the capital and under the unified command of the generals in the court. That is The Central Army, and after the war, the Central Army was dispersed to local areas, and either returned to local armies, or became ordinary people. Moreover, the local army and the Central Army had exactly the same armaments, and their combat power was also equivalent.
Although Huan's garrison only had 50,000 troops, it should not be treated as an ordinary local army. To be precise, it was the Central Army of Zhenguo.
Tai, the head of Canglin County, also knew that General Gu Anmin was coming with an army of 400,000 people. His purpose was very clear, which was to defend Huan. As long as the reinforcements arrived, his mission would be completed. Will go to compete with the six-nation coalition.
With the thought of not seeking merit but seeking no faults, Guan Tai tried his best to consolidate and strengthen the defense of Juan City and strive to make it foolproof.
After the Fengyu Allied Forces arrived outside Huan City and set up camp, Tang Yin and Lingshuang discussed and decided to make a feint attack first to test Huan's strength.
The two armies repeated their old tricks and once again sent two generals, Shangguan Yuanrang and Shi Xiao, to attack the enemy in front of the two armies' formations and provoke the generals in the city to fight out of the city.
The fiasco of passing the customs was still fresh in his mind. How could Guan Tai dare to send any more generals to fight? No matter how Shangguan Yuanrang and Shi Xiao yelled and cursed outside the city, the Zhenjun inside the city just pretended to be deaf and mute, and no one even responded. .
The other side refused to fight, and Shangguan Yuanrang and Shi Xiao had no choice. They yelled and cursed for a while, and finally returned to their own camp angrily.
The enemy failed to fight, so the Fengyu coalition carried out a feint attack as planned. When there is no war, Juan City is extremely quiet. There is no sound in the city, just like a dead city. But once the war starts, Juan City becomes like a hedgehog in an instant. Arrows rain down from the top of the city, and stones are thrown in the city. The machine started one after another, and large and small stone bullets fell all over the sky like hailstones.
Under the crazy counterattack of the defenders in the city, the feint attack of the Fengyu Allied Forces retreated hastily. The generals of Tang Yin, Lingshuang and Feng Yu all returned to the central military tent, and everyone's faces showed solemn expressions.
After a feint attack, it can be seen that Juan's city defense has been very complete, well prepared, and full of fighting spirit. If the Fengyu coalition forces attack by force, it is of course possible to capture it, but the casualties on his side will definitely not be small.
If we take Huan now regardless of casualties, how can the Fengyu Allied Forces fight against them when the main force of Zhenguo Central Army arrives a few days later?
These practical issues are what the generals of both armies have to consider.
Tang Yin looked at the generals of the two armies. Everyone was silent. He asked: "Letian, are there only 50,000 defenders in Huan City?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lotte replied: "This is the information we investigated when Juan was not yet closed to the city. Since then, no large number of Zhen troops entered Huan. Presumably the strength of the troops in the city has not changed."
Tang Yin nodded thoughtfully, rolled his eyes, and said no more.
Xiao Muqing said: "Your Majesty, it is not wise to attack Huan, who is well prepared and has a strong city defense. Even if there are only 50,000 defenders in the city, if we attack hard, we will suffer heavy losses."
Ziying continued: "Instead of attacking with force and increasing casualties, it is better to wait and wait for the Sichuan-Mozhi coalition to catch up and wait for the main force of Zhenguo's Central Army to arrive in Canglin. By then, our army and the Sichuan-Mozhi coalition will be united. It’s not a bad idea to fight to the death with the main force of the Zhen Army.”
All the generals present nodded. It was a tough battle on the left and right. If you want to fight, hit the key points. As long as you can defeat Zhenguo's main central army, then Huan will be an isolated city. You don't need to attack by force. It can be trapped to death.
Tang Yin felt that although what Ziying said was a solution, it was not the best policy. He said seriously: "Zhenguo's 400,000-strong central army is followed by an army of 600,000. Even if we wipe out all these one-million-strong troops, the Zhenguo court can still form another one-million-strong army. Zhenguo's As long as an adult man wears armor, he can go into battle and kill the enemy. If it continues to be consumed, when will it be over? I am afraid that in the end, all the adult men in Zheng Kingdom will be dead, but it will also bring down all the six countries. The war will drag on for a long time. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for us. We must win this battle quickly, either by marching westward to Xitang in one go, or we might as well withdraw our troops and avoid unnecessary consumption. "
Ziying sighed, cupped his hands and said: "What the king said is very true, but..." It is useless for the king to see this clearly. The six countries are not united, they all want to preserve their strength, and they all want to opportunistically enjoy the fruits of victory. , how could the westward advance be smooth?
Lingshuang also agreed with Tang Yin's words that the Zhen Kingdom's all-people military system was too powerful. Even if the Sichuan Kingdom's national power was hundreds of times stronger than the Zhen Kingdom, the Sichuan Army might not be able to defeat the Zhen Army on the frontal battlefield. She asked in a low voice: "Brother Wang means that we want to capture Huan before Zhenguo's Central Army arrives?"
"That's right! We must not only capture Huan, but also push the battlefield as far west as possible. The more Zhen land we occupy, the smaller the population controlled by the Zhen Kingdom, and the more limited the troops we can collect. This is our only The chance of winning." Tang Yin said with his eyes narrowed.
"Brother Wang is right." Lingshuang thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "In that case, we will attack Huan..."
Before she could finish speaking, Tang Yin was amused, waved his hand and said: "To defeat Huan, you have to be smart. Attacking by force is the next best option."
"Brother Wang means..."
Tang Yin did not answer, raised his eyes and looked at Letian, and asked: "The defenders in Huan City should be local troops, right?"
Letian replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, there is no distinction between the central army and the local army in the Zhen Kingdom. Even the local army's combat strength is not weaker than the central army of the imperial court!"
Tang Yin shook his head and said, "What I'm asking about is not their combat prowess, but their origins and origins."
Letian was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said: "The Juan defenders are all locals from Canglin County. Some of their families are in Huan, and some of them live in other villages and towns."
"Yes!" Tang Yin rubbed his chin and murmured: "If this is the case, things will be easier to handle."
