Chapter 746

Liang Qi politely rejected Li Jin's request on the excuse that the entire army was exhausted from the long journey. However, in order to allow Li Jin to get off the stage, he immediately gave Li Chu and Chu a plan, which was to read the full text of the supplies at Broken Moon Gate.

Yuemen Pass is built on a mountain. Food, grass, water, weapons, rolling logs and stones, etc. all need to be supplied by logistics. As long as the supply of Yuemen Pass is cut off, no matter how many Ning troops there are in the pass, they will all be dead in the end. .

What he said was clear and logical, but there was a supplement in his heart that he didn't say. The commander of Yuemen Pass is Changsun Yuanhong. With Changsun Yuanhong's strategy, he would not have thought that the Mo army would use the tactic of cutting off its supplies, so he must have taken precautions. Full text read. As for whether Mo Jun can break Ning Jun's defense and whether he can successfully cut off the supply of Yuemen Pass, it depends on Mo Jun's ability.

Liang Qi was neither a native of Mo nor an army of Mo, so naturally he would not tell Li Jin in too much detail. They only proposed the logistics supply tactic of Broken Moon Gate. How to implement it is up to Mo Jun.

The two armies of Ning Mo and Ning Mo gathered their armies at Yuemen Pass in Jia Shang County to compete with each other in a battle of wits and courage. Let’s not mention it for now, but let’s talk about the Feng Army camp in Hexi.

Changsun Yuanhong and the local army from Yunkou County had already gone to the southern part of Ningguo, and a fierce battle was going on with the Mo army. Tang Yin also began to actively prepare for the westward march.

Now, the new troops in Feng's country are empty, and it is impossible to count on reinforcements. Tang Yin can only rely on the current strength to march directly to Ningdu Liangzhou. The only good thing is that the new army expanded very quickly, and the people from Zhengning joined Feng's army. Not as difficult as imagined.

That day, early in the morning, Tang Yin sent an order to gather all the soldiers, set up camp and break out the stronghold, and attack Xiaoling County.

At Qiu Zhen's suggestion, Tang Yin specially held a large memorial ceremony to worship heaven and earth. He didn't believe it, but the soldiers below did. In order to appease people's hearts, Tang Yin could only be patient and kill cattle again and again. It is to slaughter chickens to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, ancestors and military flags.

After the memorial ceremony was held, the New Army, Sky Eagle Army, and Directly Affiliated Army set off. An army of nearly 300,000 people entered Xiaoling County in a mighty manner.

Along the way, all the checkpoints of the Ning Army were empty. After learning that the main force of the Feng Army was invading, the scattered Ning soldiers withdrew. It was obvious that Lin Han did not want the soldiers below to sacrifice in vain.

Two days later, the Feng army occupied Daiyun City unimpeded without using a single sword or shot. Of course, Daiyun City had long been an empty city.

This is the third time that the Feng Army has occupied Daiyun City, especially the Sky Eagle Army. They have a lot of feelings about this city. On the day they occupied the city, the soldiers of the Sky Eagle Army came to Ziying one after another and asked him to propose to the king. Burn down Daiyun City and make this ominous place disappear forever.

Ziying didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the suggestions of the generals below. He just said: "Nonsense!" and nothing more happened.

The Feng Army was temporarily stationed in Daiyun City, and the spies from the Sky Eye and Diwang that had been sent out returned one after another like a revolving lantern, reporting the Ning Army's movements to Tang Yin.

Now all the Ning troops in Xiaoling County are huddled in the county town of Ningyang. It seems that Lin Han is ready to defend Ningyang.

Tang Yin sneered at this. Since Lin Han wanted to defend Ningyang, let him defend it and see if he could defend Ningyang under the iron hoof of his own army!

He did not waste time and continued to advance westward, heading straight to Ningyang.

Now, the entire city of Ningyang has been sealed off. In addition to the large number of defenders, there are also hundreds of thousands of Ningguo people in the city.

The Ning army worked hard to defend Ningyang. They had an outer defense line and an inner defense line. The inner defense line was the city defense of Ningyang itself, and the outer defense line was the three towns and one fortress on the periphery of Ningyang. These four places formed a semi-arc protective shield around Ningyang. If the Feng Army wanted to attack Ningyang, they had to capture these four key points first.

The Feng army set up camp about five miles away from the three towns and one fortress, but the camp was very simple. Even the Chinese military tent was only surrounded by canvas.

Now the Chinese military tent is very lively. Veteran generals such as Ziying, Guyue, Shangguan Yuanrang, Guantang, Letian, Ai Jia, Cheng Jin, and new generals such as Nanye, Li Sheng, Zhang Tong, Yang Mao, etc. are all there, and they are on the ground. A simple sand table was set up, and people gathered around to discuss the attack plan with each other. Sky eyes, ground nets, and army spies came in and out, continuously transmitting enemy intelligence to Tang Yin.

After confirming the general situation of the enemy's army, Tang Yin stood up and walked to the sand table. He looked down at the layout of the sand table and was speechless.

Seeing the king coming, people stopped talking and all their eyes fell on him.

After waiting for a moment, Tang Yinfang said slowly: "There are only more than 10,000 Ning troops stationed in the three towns of Shanliu, Guxue, Jingyi and the fortress outside Ningyang. There is nothing to be afraid of. Our army can attack directly. It’s easy to win, what do you generals mean?”

Before anyone else could speak, Shangguan Yuanrang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to take the lead!"

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, bent down, drew an arc in the sand table according to the location of the three towns and one fortress, and then said: "If we want to fight, we will hit the top of the arc first, the one closest to our army. Shanliu Town. Yuan Rang, I will give you 20,000 soldiers and send General Li Sheng as your deputy. Within two hours, I will see our army's banner standing in the center of Shanliu Town!"

Shangguan Yuanrang stepped in to receive the order, then looked at Li Sheng who also received the order, curled his lips and said: "Your Majesty, in a small town, one general is enough for the end, there is no need for deputy generals!"

Of course Tang Yin knew how powerful Shangguan Yuanrang was, and the reason why he sent Li Sheng was to cheer him up. Tang Yin didn't say anything, but he knew it in his heart. Since Zhou Chang died in the battle, Li Sheng had been in a very low mood. He undoubtedly took all the responsibility for Zhou Chang's death in the battle. It was not easy to get a good general, and Tang Yin didn't want it. He fell into depression and asked him to follow Shangguan Yuan to fight in order to restore his fighting spirit.

He glanced at Shangguan Yuanrang and said sternly: "I have made up my mind, don't say much, just act as ordered, go quickly!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Tang Yin spoke firmly, leaving no room for maneuver. Shangguan Yuanrang stopped talking nonsense and strode out of the Chinese military tent.

When he got outside, he said to Li Sheng who was following behind him without looking back: "I lead the troops very quickly, so you have to follow closely. If you lose me, you can't blame me. Also, when we get to the battlefield, I just kill the enemy." , but I don’t have time to look after you. If you are in danger, just scream a few times. Maybe I will hear you and come back to save you. "

When Li Sheng heard this, he almost laughed angrily. Everyone said that Shangguan Yuan was crazy, but he was too crazy. The king sent him to be his deputy general, not his oil tank. Li Sheng secretly shook his head. If someone else had said this, he would have turned against Shangguan Yuan Rang. But Shangguan Yuan Rang was different. He was almost the idol and god of war worshiped by all the generals of the Feng Army. Li Sheng was only one of them, who could compete with Shangguan Yuan Rang. He was excited from the bottom of his heart to fight side by side, and he could only endure being insulted by him.

He whispered: "Yes! The general will take care of himself, don't dare bother General Yuan Rang!"

"Hmph!" Shangguan Yuanrang said no more.

He knew that Li Sheng was a new general recruited by the Nawu Order. He looked down upon this kind of general who climbed up the ranks not by military merit but by competition, and did not think he could accomplish much.

As soon as Shangguan Yuanrang and Li Sheng left, Tang Yin gave another order: "Nan Ye, Yang Mao, listen to the order!"

"The general is here!"

"I will give you two people twenty thousand soldiers to attack Jingyi Town at the end of the arc. Within two hours, kill everyone in the town without any mistakes!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Nan Ye and Yang Mao took the order and left.

Later, Tang Yin said again: "Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan obey orders!"

"The general is here!"

"You two also led 20,000 soldiers to destroy the fortress on the other side of the arc. I don't need to say more about what to do, right?"

"The general understands that the fortress will be captured within two hours!"

"Yeah! Go ahead!"

Tang Yin issued three military orders, dispatching three groups of 60,000 troops to seize three defensive strongholds at Shanliu, Jingyi and Ningjun Fortress.

Then, he personally led the remaining army to attack Guxue Town.

Although 60,000 people were sent out, the Feng army under Tang Yin's command should have been more than 200,000. Such a huge army could attack a small town and reduce it to the ground in just one step.

However, the defenders of Guxue Town resisted very tenaciously. The number of defenders was not large, only about 3,000, but they laid many traps and traps inside and outside the town.

Feng Jun, who was walking in front, had just approached Guxue Town. He didn't even see the shadow of the enemy when he was shot by Ning Jun's arrows.

The Feng army was poorly prepared and was shot down hundreds of people at once. After the people stabilized their position and put up their shields, they looked closely and found that there were many ditches dug outside the town, and the arrows were shot from the ditches.

After seeing this, Feng Jun was furious and immediately sent out cavalry, intending to charge over at cavalry speed and kill all the enemies in the ditch.

However, not long after the cavalry ran out, screams broke out. One by one, the horses stepped on the air and fell into the trap dug in advance. The bottom of the trap was covered with sharpened bamboo pliers. If you fell into it, you would be immediately killed. The stabbings turned into a hornet's nest, and both men and horses perished.

Not even the shadow of the Ning army was seen. They lost first the infantry and then the cavalry. The general in charge of the front army, Guan Tang, was furious and ordered the cavalry to retreat. The infantry phalanx moved up to destroy all the enemies in the ditch.

The trap was there. If the cavalry stepped on it, they would fall into the pit, and if the infantry stepped on it, it would be no good either. The infantry of the Feng Army moved forward and fell into the trap, and the number of casualties increased linearly.

The trap set by the Ning army was forced by the Feng army. Looking back at the battlefield at this time, it was so numb. The ground was full of pits and trenches.

Guantang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and secretly sighed. The king finally used himself to lead the attack, but the result was good. Before they reached the town, they had already suffered a lot of casualties.

He repeatedly gave orders to the herald beside him, asking the infantry phalanx in front to speed up, rush into the ditch, and kill all the Ning troops inside.

But when Feng Jun arrived at the ditch, he lowered his head and looked again. There was half of Ning Jun inside. I don't know when, and I don't know what method the other party used. All the Ning Jun inside had escaped.
