Episode 10 Chapter 560
Chapter 560
The death of Tang Wenyuan, the head of Longmen County, was unexpected by everyone. War is like this. No one can guarantee that they will survive to the end, even Tang Yin does not have such confidence. Read the full text.
It was just that at this time, Gao Chenghai suddenly mentioned Tang Wenyuan, which was somewhat inappropriate, and the atmosphere on the scene took a sharp turn for the worse, becoming extremely depressing.
Just when people were sad and silent, Tang Yin stood up, holding a wine glass, and said in a loud voice: "Master Gao is right. We should toast Master Tang and those fallen soldiers and innocent victims. Although the Guihai Army of Huan State has been annihilated, the hatred is not over. All the soldiers of Fengyu and Fengyu should unite and cooperate sincerely to attack the capital of Huan State and defeat the court of Huan State, so that the people of Huan will pay the price for what they did today!"
Tang Yin's words successfully turned the sadness on the scene into grief and indignation. After hearing this, everyone present was filled with righteous indignation. They stood up one after another, holding up their wine glasses, and said in unison: "Yes, we want to avenge those brothers and people who died tragically under the swords of the Huan people!"
As they spoke, people drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp and then threw them to the ground.
Lingshuang glanced at Tang Yin beside her and felt that he was really sharp. He always seized every opportunity to inspire people and planted the seeds of hatred in people's hearts without knowing it.
This time, Yuguo sent troops to Huanguo under the banner of aiding its ally Fengguo. In fact, Yuguo itself had no feud with Huanguo, and the soldiers might not accept this war from the bottom of their hearts. But the situation is different now. Huanjun invaded Yuguo and not only killed many innocent people, but also caused the death of Tang Wenyuan and thousands of Yuguo local soldiers. In addition, Tang Yin's timely incitement made the reason for Yuguo to send troops to Huanguo justified and even closely related to its own safety, so it had to fight this war.
Inciting and stimulating hatred is also Tang Yin's usual method in Fengguo.
After the banquet, Tang Yin deliberately pulled Yin Rou to a deserted place and talked alone.
According to his opinion, Yin Rou should leave for home immediately, but the latter was very determined. No matter what Tang Yin said, she just refused. In the end, Tang Yin was also forced by the stubborn Yin Rou and had to reluctantly agree to let her stay in the army, but he also asked Yin Rou to agree to his conditions, not to have disputes with Ling Shuang again, and to live and travel with Ling Shuang.
Ling Shuang had perfect protection measures around her, with maids and guards, including outstanding spiritual practitioners. Yin Rou and Ling Shuang were together, which was convenient and well-cared for.
Seeing that Tang Yin had agreed to let her stay, Yin Rou was overjoyed. How could she bargain with him? She accepted all of Tang Yin's conditions.
After talking with Yin Rou, Tang Yin went to find Ling Shuang again, told her about his arrangements, and also begged for Ling Shuang's consent.
Ling Shuang agreed very straightforwardly, patting her chest to make a promise that the princess's daily life and safety would be handed over to her, and she would not let the princess suffer any grievances.
Yin Rou accepted all his conditions, and Ling Shuang did not say a word of objection to his request. The two women were so straightforward that Tang Yin felt very strange, but he could only pray silently in his heart that there would be no chaos.
Soon, the coalition forces of Fengyu and Yu left Daping City and marched southwest in a mighty manner, heading straight for the border between Yuhuan and Yuhuan. After ten days of marching, the coalition forces of Fengyu arrived at Guanfeng, an important town on the border between Yuhuan and Yuhuan.
Guanfeng is a border town and a major trading place for Yuhuan and Yuhuan. Originally, there were many merchants from Huan in the city, and many shops were opened, but now they have all been expelled by the government of Guanfeng, and the shops opened by the Huan people have also been taken over by the government.
For such a small border town, the reason why the city is prosperous and lively is that merchants and caravans from the two countries keep coming in and out. Now that Yuhuan has become an enemy country, all trade has ceased, and the scene in the city has become extremely depressed. Even the taverns and inns on both sides of the main street are mostly closed, and there are very few pedestrians on the street.
The intention of the 500,000-strong coalition forces of Feng and Yu to march southward was obvious: they were planning to directly advance into the territory of Huan from Guanfeng. How could Huan have no news of such a large-scale movement of the two armies?
The court of Huan urgently dispatched troops, directly withdrawing the Bingchen Army and Dingsi Army and 200,000 reserve troops from the capital Daxing, and led by Qian Chong, Marquis of Zixi, to march north to Huiting County in the north of Huan to resist the Fengyu coalition forces.
Huiting County borders Yu Country. In terms of area, it is also a large county in Huan. It is a plain area with many roads leading in all directions, which is not very suitable for defense. However, Li Xin's order to Qian Chong was that he would rather fight to the last soldier than retreat a single step.
Qian Chong felt helpless about Li Xin's order and was not optimistic about this war. What made him feel a little relieved was that Huiting County was large and populous, and it was very convenient to organize local troops. In addition, he only needed to delay the Fengyu coalition in Huiting County for a period of time, and the materials from Sichuan State to support Huan State could be delivered to him, which was also the most important weapon for him to lead the army against the Fengyu coalition.
There were also several Sichuan Army generals who went to Huiting County with Qian Chong. Among them, the most famous one was Hu Liang, the middle general of Sichuan State. Hu Liang was an old general of Sichuan State, good at using troops, experienced, strong-willed, and extremely warlike.
Now, almost every legion of Huan Army has one or several Sichuan generals. Sichuan generals do not occupy a dominant position in Huan Army, but mainly play an auxiliary role. In modern times, they are similar to military consultants.
After the Huan army arrived at Huiting County, they set up camp to the north of Xianshi, the county town. Using the county town as a support, they built a defensive structure, setting up horseback guards, digging trenches, and building walls. Zixi Hou Qian Chong may not be very good at fighting, but he is definitely second to none when it comes to defense.
He used a large number of local troops and labor to build three camps in the north of Xianshi City. The camps were connected by wide walls. There were trenches and horses outside the walls, and there were trebuchets inside the walls. As well as the accumulated rolling logs and rocks, five or six people can stand side by side on the wall.
The three camps, together with the walls, formed a semi-circular shape and surrounded the north of the county. Once the enemy invaded, the three camps formed a solid line of defense, and the county was the most powerful backup, which could provide a continuous flow of materials and supplies. transported to the front line.
These preparations made by Qian Chong made Hu Liang sneer. Although this veteran was very old, he was more warlike than young people. In Hu Liang's view, instead of using so many local troops and labor to build defenses, it is better to integrate them all into one's own army, take the initiative, defeat the Fengyu coalition with absolute superiority, and take advantage of the situation to focus on the war. Pushed to the territory of Jade Kingdom.
Let the flames of war burn within the enemy's territory and ensure the peace and tranquility of the homeland. This is a military strategy.
Qian Chong and Hu Liang had different opinions. He did not think that his side now had the strength to take the initiative to attack. As long as he could withstand the Fengyu coalition's southern invasion, his mission would be completed. His principle has always been not to seek merit, but to seek success. Nothing wrong, of course, in Hu Liang's view, this was a sign of not wanting to make progress.
Before the war started, the commander-in-chief of the Huan army and the generals of the Sichuan army had great differences in their combat ideas.
Regarding Huan Jun's preparations in the Xianshi area, Feng Jun Detective also made a clear investigation, and the detective reports were sent back to Guanfeng where Feng Yu's coalition army was located one after another.
Looking at the enemy defense map that was passed on, the generals of Tang Yin, Ling Shuang and Feng Yu all felt dizzy. In fact, they are not afraid of Huan Jun taking the initiative and engaging in a head-on confrontation. What they are afraid of is Huan Jun's huddled defense like now.
This Huan army of hundreds of thousands of people is huddled inside and outside Xianshi City. It would be too difficult for our side to attack them by force, and we don't know how many casualties it will cost.
Tang Yin summoned the generals of Feng and Yu's armies and held an urgent consultation to discuss how to fight the battle.
Shi Xiao, the general of the Jade Kingdom, proposed to attack Huanying. His reason was that the enemy's regular central army only had 200,000 troops, and the rest of the troops were either reserves or local troops and were not of concern.
After listening to his opinions, not to mention Liang Qihe Ying shook his head repeatedly, even Yujiang Baili Tu's head shook like a rattle, saying repeatedly: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate! Qian Chong's people are very good at war." , according to the detective report, his defense in Xianshi City is also perfect. If our army attacks by force, it will not only be difficult to win, but also countless soldiers and generals will be injured!"
Shi Xiao still wanted to argue, but Tang Yin was the first to say: "What General Baili said is reasonable, and attacking by force is not the best strategy." Tang Yin always focused on efficiency when discussing matters, and he did not want to waste more time discussing unfeasible tactics.
Hearing that Tang Yin had clearly rejected his opinion, Shi Xiao immediately closed his open mouth and swallowed the words that came to his lips. Wu Guang continued: "It is reported that the Huan army's camp is made of wood and earth. If you want to win with fire attack, I'm afraid it won't work."
"Besides, there are horses and trenches outside the camp, making it difficult for cavalry and infantry to advance." "What if we bypass the Huan army's camp and go straight to the county's fairy stone?"
"Now the Huan army uses the camp as a shield and the county city as its support. If our army attacks Xianshi, then the Huan army will use the county city as a shield and the camp city as its support. The city defense of the county city will definitely be better than that of the camp city. It’s much stronger and much harder to beat!”
Generals, you say something, I say something, and we are discussing. Qian Chong's defense in the Xianshi area was not isolated. The ring-shaped camp and the county and city echoed each other from afar. No matter which side he attacked, the other side could serve as backup.
People discussed for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a good strategy to defeat the enemy. Just as they were thinking hard, Tang Yin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Since we can't defeat it, let's not fight it and go around it!"
His words made everyone stunned. Go around, where are you going? ..Pavilion
