Volume 10 Chapter 259
Chapter 259
"What's wrong?" Tang Yin looked at Lotte and asked slowly.
"Your Majesty, I just received the news that General Gu Anmin of Zhen Kingdom has led 400,000 Zhen troops into Guping County." Letian walked up to Tang Yin and whispered solemnly.
Lingshuang originally wanted to take a bath, but after hearing Lotte's words, her expression suddenly changed, and she sat back down weakly after standing up just now.
What was supposed to come would eventually come, and Zhenjun indeed chose to take the route of Guping County. She looked at Tang Yin, with a hint of complaint in her tone, and asked, "Brother Wang, what should we do now?" I advised you not to listen to Xiao Xuan, how about now? Is the enemy coming?
Tang Yin didn't seem to be surprised at all. He shrugged and said easily: "What should we do? The soldiers will stop us, the water will cover us, and the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road! This time, we will have a head-on confrontation with the Zhenguo Central Army. !”
From the bottom of his heart, Tang Yin really wanted to fight an evenly matched decisive battle with the Zhen Army in order to avenge the humiliation of the Zhen Army sweeping the Feng Kingdom and defeating the Chifeng Army.
He and Zhenjun had an old grudge, but Lingshuang had no qualms in her heart. Now he wanted to fight Zhenjun desperately, but Lingshuang felt that it was not a wise move.
She calmly analyzed: "The Zhen army is approaching fiercely and its morale is high. However, our army has been fighting for more than a month and is exhausted. Now it is not good for us to have a head-on confrontation with the Zhen army!"
Tang Yin said nonchalantly: "The Zhen army rushed all the way from Xitang to Guping County. In fact, they are much more exhausted than our army. At this time of fighting, our army's advantage is greater than that of the Zhen army. Sister Wang, don't worry too much."
He said it lightly, but how could Ling Shuang do it easily? What our side is about to face is the Zhenguo Central Army, which is famous for its ferocity, and there are 400,000 people. In a face-to-face confrontation, who can guarantee that the Fengyu Alliance Army will definitely win?
Once defeated, for the Jade Kingdom, it would be a loss of 200,000 troops. How many years of recovery would it take to make up for it? The Feng Kingdom can afford to lose, but the Jade Kingdom, which is weak and sparsely populated, cannot afford to lose.
She thought for a long time and then said: "Since Brother Wang is determined to fight, please immediately ask for reinforcements from the Sichuan-Moscow Allied Forces and the Anhuan Allied Forces, so that the armies of these four countries must rush to Guping to reinforce and assist us."
Tang Yin did not refuse anymore, and nodded in response: "Okay! I will send a message to the Duke right now." He said so, but he didn't think so in his heart, and he didn't think that the Sichuan, Mo, An, and Huan teams could really catch up. Come to Guping to support your side.
Of course, in order to reassure Lingshuang, he still wrote letters to the four kings Xiao Xuan, Shao Fang, Yue Ze and Li Xin respectively, asking the four armies to join forces for assistance as soon as possible.
After watching him write the letter and send it out by Lotte, Lingshuang felt a little relieved. Then she said hello to Tang Yin and went to take a bath with a heavy heart.
Sure enough, the development of the matter was exactly as Tang Yin expected. His letters were sent to the Sichuan-Mosu Allied Forces and the Anhuan Allied Forces respectively. The replies they received were different, but the meaning was the same, that is, they could not come to help in a short time.
The reply from Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang was that the Sichuan-Moscow coalition was attacking Wuyi City in Xinfeng County. There were a large number of defenders inside, nearly 100,000. The Sichuan-Mobile coalition, which had been unable to attack for a long time, was already riding a tiger and wanted to withdraw. It can't be withdrawn either.
The reply from Yue Ze and Li Xin was that the Fengyu Coalition Army had previously consumed a huge amount of food, grass and supplies, and now the Anhuan Coalition Army was waiting for a batch of new supplies to be delivered from Anguo, which was related to the overall logistics of the Six Nations Coalition Army. Guarantee is extremely important. The Anhuan coalition forces must be escorted in person, otherwise an accident will occur on the way and the six-nation coalition forces will be in danger.
All in all, each army has its own excuses and important things to do, and it is impossible to get away and rush to Guping County in a short time.
After reading the replies from the four kings, Tang Yin didn't say anything. Lingshuang was so angry that her blood was boiling, stars were rising in front of her eyes, and she almost cursed.
She looked at Tang Yin in disbelief and murmured: "The six-nation coalition is originally one body, but how could Sichuan, Mo, An, and Huan be so selfish?"
Tang Yin just smiled and comforted: "Sister Wang, you don't have to worry about this. If you didn't have any hope at all, you wouldn't be so disappointed now."
Lingshuang asked in surprise: "Did Brother Wang already expect that the guilds would find excuses to refuse assistance?"
Tang Yin said with a smile: "Although the four kings of Sichuan, Mo, An, and Huan will not save us until death, they will never rescue us too soon. Fighting with the main force of the Zhen army is not a child's play, and our own injuries are inevitable. , instead of doing this, it is better to use us to consume each other with the Zhen Army first, and when the two sides are almost done fighting, the Fourth Army will come to clean up the mess. In this way, we can not only preserve our own strength, but also greatly wear down the Zhen Army and our Fengyu Army. It’s like killing three birds with one stone. If I were those princes, I would do the same.”
He knew very well that for the Six-Nation Alliance, Zhenguo was the enemy, but for Sichuan, Mo, An, and Huan, how could Feng and Yu not be future enemies?
After he finished speaking, Lingshuang blinked in realization and said, "That's it!"
"Instead of waiting for the Zhen Army to attack, we might as well go out and attack. In this way, we can at least take the initiative and surpass the Zhen Army in terms of morale." Tang Yin asked Ling Shuang what he meant.
Now Lingshuang has no idea. No matter how smart and astute she is, she has no experience in fighting between two armies. The confused Lingshuang said with a wry smile: "I listen to Brother Wang!"
"Okay! In this case, our army will take the initiative and fight a tough battle with Zhenjun!"
Tang Yin was not as nervous as Ling Shuang, and the word "fear of the enemy" did not exist in his dictionary. At this time, the battle between the two sides was imminent, and Tang Yin's body was in a state of turmoil, and his blood began to boil and hurt.
Under Tang Yin's order, the Fengyu coalition left Donggu City and continued to move westward, preparing to fight a decisive battle with the central army of the Zhen Kingdom in Guping County.
But what surprised Ling Shuang and disappointed Tang Yin was that the central army of the Zhen Kingdom deliberately avoided the route of the Fengyu coalition westward, and took the route between Guping County and Xinfeng County to Canglin County. The sudden change of route of the Zhen Army was something that Tang Yin, Ling Shuang, and even the kings Xiao Xuan, Shao Fang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin had not expected.
In addition to the Feng Army headed by Tang Yin, the kings of five of the six countries in the coalition were unwilling to fight head-on with the main force of the Zhen Army. On the other hand, the Zhen Army was not the same.
General Gu Anmin of the Zhen State also made a thorough consideration. The Fengyu coalition and the Chuanmo coalition were divided into two groups and advanced in parallel. Of course, he could choose one of them to fight, but after thinking carefully, no matter which coalition he chose, the battle would be difficult to fight.
The Fengyu coalition has the Feng Army, which is famous for its bravery and fierce fighting style. It successfully resisted the invasion of millions of coalition forces at the beginning. Its combat power is not inferior to the Zhen Army at all.
And the Chuanmo coalition has the Chuan Army. The Zhen Army used to have frequent contact with the Chuan Army and knew the strength of the Chuan Army very well. Although the combat power of the Chuan Army may not be stronger than that of the Zhen Army, it is well-equipped, with a large number of large-scale combat equipment, strong overall coordination ability, and good at legion warfare.
Gu Anmin was not sure of winning in the battle with these two coalitions. After choosing and choosing, he chose the Anhuan coalition.
First, the An-Huan coalition was the weakest, and fighting with it would be much easier. Second, the An-Huan coalition was extremely cruel to the Zhen people, killing innocent people indiscriminately and committing all kinds of evil in Zhen. The Zhen army also hated the An-Huan coalition from the bottom of their hearts, which was usually Anshun but would retaliate against Zhen once it gained power.
For these reasons, Gu Anmin decided to take a risky move, avoiding the Fengyu coalition and the Chuanmo coalition, inserting into Canglin between Guping and Xinfeng counties, and directly attacking the An-Huan coalition hiding in Canglin County.
Gu Anmin's use of troops was really incredible and extremely bold.
Walking between the two counties, it was easy to be attacked from both sides by the Fengyu coalition and the Chuanmo coalition. Once the two armies attacked from the north and south, the 400,000-strong central army of Zhen would be wiped out.
But in fact, it turned out that Gu Anmin made the right bet. The six-nation coalition forces, which were full of internal intrigues and contradictions, had no coordination at all. The Fengyu coalition ignored the central army of the Zhen Kingdom that was passing between Guping County and Xinfeng County, and the Chuanmo coalition also ignored it. The mighty 400,000 Zhen troops passed smoothly under the noses of the Fengyu coalition and Chuanmo coalition, and stabbed directly into Canglin County like a knife.
When the Anhuan coalition received the urgent military information, the central army of the Zhen Kingdom, led by Gu Anmin, had already entered Canglin County and rushed straight to the camps of the two armies like a whirlwind.
Hearing the news that the Zhen army suddenly attacked, Yue Ze and Li Xin were panicked. They still didn't understand until now. Shouldn't the main force of the Zhen army be fighting with the Fengyu coalition? Why did it suddenly appear in Canglin County? Did it fall from the sky?
Although they were puzzled, Yue Ze and Li Xin were not Tang Yin, nor did they have the courage and confidence that Tang Yin had to confront the 400,000-strong Zhen army head-on.
The two urgently sent letters to Tang Yin, Ling Shuang, Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang, asking them to withdraw quickly to rescue the An-Huan coalition.
Things change so fast. The current An-Huan coalition is simply a replica of the previous Feng-Yu coalition, rescuing everywhere and not daring to fight against the Zhen army.
After receiving the letters for help from the two of them, Xiao Xuan sneered, crumpled them into a ball and threw them away. In contrast, Shao Fang seemed less heartless. Xiao Xuan's attitude made him frown and ask, "Brother Xiao, don't you plan to rescue the An and Huan armies?"
"Rescue? How?" Xiao Xuan questioned, "Now our armies have advanced to the heart of Xinfeng County. How long will it take to return to Canglin County for rescue? How many central troops will Zhen State gather during this delay? Besides, if we retreat now, will the local army of Xinfeng County let us leave safely? Our army has so many baggage. Once the Zhen army chases us, how much will we lose? This time, let's teach the An and Huan armies a lesson, so that they understand that it is not so safe to be a turtle in the back. Against the Zhen army, they can fight if they can, and if they can't, it's their own fault, and they can't blame others!"
