Volume 10 Chapter 265

Chapter 265

With the arrival of the local army of Zhen, the morale of the Chuanmo coalition began to collapse rapidly, and their fighting spirit became weaker and weaker. If one local army can come to reinforce, then there will probably be a second, third, or even more local army coming in a continuous stream. There is no end to this. Even if we can kill all the central army of Zhen in front of us now, we still can't win this battle in the end, because the other side has countless reinforcements, while we are fighting alone.

When the two sides fight to this extent, they are competing with each other's spirit. Once the spirit of the Chuanmo coalition is lost, the situation on the battlefield immediately changes. The soldiers of the two armies gradually cannot resist the fierce attack of the Zhen army and begin to retreat step by step.

For the Chuan-Mo coalition, the large weapons in the rear were the strongest support for the combat power of the entire army. However, as the soldiers in the front retreated step by step, the horses exposed the large weapons in the rear to the attack of the Zhen army. Without the support of large weapons, the Chuan-Mo coalition was defeated faster, and then more large weapons were directly attacked by the Zhen army. This was a vicious cycle.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain collapsing, and this saying is just right for the Chuan-Mo coalition. Soon, the Chuan-Mo coalition went from a slow defeat to a complete rout. A large number of soldiers gave up fighting and fled back like a tide.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang dared not fight again, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to withdraw and retreat to their own camp.

The Chuan-Mo coalition was defeated, and most of the large weapons put into the battlefield were destroyed or fell into the hands of the Zhen army. The remnants of the Chuan-Mo coalition fled all the way back to their own camp, closed the camp gates, and defended the camp to death.

In this direct confrontation between the Chuan-Mo coalition and the Zhen army, the losses of both sides were roughly the same. The casualties of the Chuan-Mo army were about 100,000, while the casualties of the Zhen army exceeded 100,000.

However, in terms of morale, the Zhen army has taken the initiative, and more and more local troops are rushing to reinforce. On the other hand, the morale of the Chuan-Mo coalition was low, and they began to lack confidence in the war at hand.

While the Chuan-Mo coalition was defending the camp, the Zhen army quickly assembled outside the camp. The central army and the local army that came soon restored their strength to 400,000, and then began to launch a fierce attack on the camp of the Chuan-Mo coalition.

In a face-to-face close combat, the Chuan-Mo coalition could not beat the Zhen army, but now they are fighting a defensive battle, with the village wall as a support, the disadvantages of the Chuan-Mo coalition have been saved a lot. Even as fierce as the Zhen army, it is difficult to break through the defense line of the Chuan-Mo coalition.

The Zhen army attacked several times, but they all returned in vain. Finally, the Zhen army commander Tian Huaiyu decisively changed his tactics, gave up the attack, and camped outside the camp of the Chuanmo coalition. The two sides went from the fierce battle stage to the confrontation stage.

The two sides dragged on for five days. The Zhen army's supplies were delivered one after another by the counties and prefectures, but the logistics of the Chuanmo coalition seemed to be cut off. Not to mention that they did not receive the baggage, even the military rations were not received.

It was not surprising that the Chuanmo coalition did not receive supplies. The Anhuan coalition, which was originally responsible for logistics, had now followed Tang Yin to the front battlefield, and Yue Ze and Li Xin did not instruct their subordinates to deliver supplies to the Chuanmo coalition.

Neither of them was a broad-minded person. In their opinion, since you Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang could abandon me at the beginning, why should I take care of you now? If you want supplies, find a way to get them yourself, don't count on us anymore.

The new recruits of the An-Huan coalition escorted the baggage and supplies and went directly to the camp of the five-nation coalition led by the Feng army, without paying any attention to the Chuan-Mo coalition.

At this time, the situation of the Chuan-Mo coalition was becoming more and more critical. Even if the Zhen army did not fully encircle their camp, the Chuan-Mo coalition did not dare to leave the camp rashly.

There were hundreds of thousands of Zhen troops stationed on the way forward, and they could not get through anyway. If they retreated, they were worried that they would be hunted down by the Zhen army. At that time, there would be no camp to rely on, and how could they compete with the Zhen army with their own combat power?

But staying in the camp to defend it was not a solution. After all, the food and grass they brought were limited, and there would always be a day when they would run out. When the whole army ran out of food, there would be no hope at all.

After discussion, Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang could only shamelessly ask for help from the four kings Feng, An, Huan, and Yu, asking the four kings to send troops to help, and even if they could not send troops, they should try to transport the supplies first.

Of course, Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang were not stupid enough to put all their bets on Feng, An, Huan, and Yu. At the same time, they issued a transfer order to their own army temporarily stationed in An.

According to the original agreement, the six countries would send 400,000 troops to attack Zhen, of which 200,000 would be the first attacking troops, and the other 200,000 would be stationed in An as backup. Now that the situation of the Chuan-Mo coalition is precarious, Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang can only urgently mobilize their own army stationed in An for safety reasons to meet emergencies.

In the current Six Nations Alliance to Attack Zhen, four countries have transferred all the 400,000 troops they had prepared to Zhen, first An and Huan, then Chuan and Mo. On the contrary, Feng and Yu, who have been charging in the front, have never fought a hard battle with the Zhen army, and their troops are still at their peak, and they have not mobilized backup.

On Tang Yin's side, after receiving the message from Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang, the kings of the four countries immediately gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, they had already entered Xiangshan County.

The one-million-strong army assembled by the Zhenguo court. First, nearly half of the 400,000 Zhen army led by Gu Anmin was lost, and all the remaining people defected. Later, the 400,000 Zhen army led by Tian Huaiyu was restrained by the Sichuan-Mozhi coalition. Now, the remaining troops in the west are left behind. Tang's Zhenguo Central Army only had 200,000 troops. This was a rare opportunity for Tang Yin's coalition forces. As long as they could break through Xiangshan and Longhu counties in a short period of time, they could go straight to Xitang and use their two A hundred thousand troops could not resist the millions of coalition troops on their side.

Not only did Tang Yin understand that the opportunity before him was rare, but the three kings Yue Ze, Li Xin, and Lingshuang also knew this. Therefore, after seeing the letters asking for help from Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang, Yue, Li, and Ling unanimously stated that they must not Divide your troops to rescue. We must maintain our strength, conquer Xitang first, and destroy the Zhenguo court.

After listening to their opinions, Tang Yin nodded slowly and agreed. Splitting the troops at this time will really delay a good fighting opportunity.

Seeing that he just nodded but remained silent, Yue Ze and Li Xin became a little anxious, fearing that Tang Yin would be merciful and agree to Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang's request.

The two looked at each other, and Yue Ze was the first to say: "Brother Tang Wang, it's not that we ignore the alliance and don't go to help, it's because the current situation doesn't allow it! This opportunity must not be missed. It will never come again. If you don't seize this opportunity, don't take advantage of it." Marching westward, we will not be able to move forward until Xitang recovers and gathers an army of one million people."

"That's right!" Lingshuang nodded his head and said seriously: "Brother Yue Wang is absolutely right. To divide the troops now is to give Xi Tang a chance to breathe, which is really unwise."

Of course, Lingshuang would not be so stupid as Yue Ze and Li Xin that Tang Yin was a kind-hearted person who cared about the alliance. However, it was true that Tang Yin's thinking was too weird. She was really worried that Tang Yin would do something unthinkable again. Things come up.

Seeing the three of them looking at him eagerly, Tang Yin became amused, stood up with a smile, stretched his muscles, then picked up the tea cup, took two sips of tea leisurely, and then said: "Brothers and sisters, I also know that dividing our forces now will do us no good, but have you ever considered what will happen if the Sichuan-Moscow coalition is defeated?"

"how?"

"The 400,000 Zhen Army can withdraw their hands and flank our army. By then, our army will be eager to advance westward and have to deal with the 400,000 Zhen Army. The situation is not optimistic!" Tang Yin analyzed slowly. .

Hearing this, Yue Ze, Li Xin, and Ling Shuang frowned in unison.

Li Xin asked bluntly: "So?"

"So, we have to let the Sichuan-Mozhi coalition hold on. Even if they cannot defeat the Zhenjun, they still have to contain these Zhenjun in Shima County." Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and said quietly.

Lingshuang nodded, suddenly feeling that what Tang Yin said made sense.

Yue Ze patted his thigh helplessly and sighed: "After all, we still need to divide our troops to assist the Sichuan and Mozambique armies!"

Tang Yin raised the corner of his mouth and said, "If we want the Sichuan-Mozambique coalition to hold on, we don't have to divide our troops to provide assistance."

"Oh?" The three people were refreshed and asked hurriedly: "What does Prince Tang mean..."

"With the fighting strength of the Sichuan and Mozambique armies, as long as they have enough food, grass and baggage, and do not seek to defeat the enemy, it is no problem to defend the camp and protect themselves." Tang Yin said: "For this matter, we have to rely on the efforts of brothers Yue Wang and Li Wang. Help!"

Yue Ze and Li Xin rolled their eyes and asked, "What does Prince Tang mean by asking me to send troops to transport grain, grass and baggage to the Sichuan and Momo Second Army?"

"Yes, this is also the best way to resolve the crisis in Sichuan and Mo."

"Huh! I can't do it!" Li Xin's face turned red, and he looked at Yue Ze angrily and said, "Brother Yue Wang, how did Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang treat you and me back then? They were indifferent and ruthless until death. There is no alliance at all. If brothers Feng and Yu hadn't arrived, you and I would have become the victims of the Zhen army. Now we want you and me to send food, grass and baggage to Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang. Brother Yue Wang, can you do it? Are you here?"

well! Yue Ze sighed secretly, this was like being stabbed by someone, and he had to go and give gifts to others. Not to mention that he was embarrassed, even he couldn't pass this test.

He rubbed his hands, chuckled twice, and said to Tang Yin: "Brother Tang Yin, you know best how Brother Xiao Wang treated us back then. Now it is too difficult for me and Brother Li Wang to send supplies to him."

The baggage of the six countries is all stored in Anguo, and the Anjun is under unified management. If Yueze does not issue an order, no one can do anything.
