Chapter 835
One person or one thing can often change the pattern of a warTXT download. If Ren was not kind-hearted, it would be impossible to find a medicine farmer who was familiar with the terrain of the uphill mountain. If this medicine farmer had not been found, the situation of the war might have been completely different.
Now that the Sichuan and Zhen Allied Forces have a shortcut to enter the Feng Kingdom, the balance of victory is tilted towards the Sichuan and Zhen Allied Forces. TXT download.
That night, the generals of the Sichuan and Zhen armies gathered in the central military tent to discuss the next attack.
According to the wishes of the Sichuan Army generals, now that we can enter the Feng Kingdom, the inhumane plague tactics carried out by the Zhen Army can also be terminated. But the generals of the Zhen Army led by Nie Ze were firmly opposed. Now that they were only one step away from success, how could they agree to let them stop?
Nie Ze pointed out that even if our own army can go around behind Ba Pass, cut off the supplies of the Feng Army, and attack Ba Pass from both front and rear, allowing the plague to spread in Ba Pass will still greatly weaken the Feng Army's combat effectiveness, making our own side vulnerable when attacking. The resistance is greatly reduced.
In this matter, the Sichuan Army's opposition was mostly due to moral objections. In the end, seeing the Zhenjun's tough attitude, people stopped arguing and agreed to the Zhenjun's plague tactics in a tacit way.
As for the number of troops entering Fengguo through Pofengkou, there was another dispute between Sichuan and Zhen.
Ren Fang felt that it would be better for his own side and the Zhen army to send 50,000 troops each. If too many troops were sent, they would be easily exposed and would not have the effect of winning by surprise. Moreover, Ba Pass has a strong defense in the south, while the north is unprotected, so 100,000 troops are enough.
Nie Ze's thoughts were completely different from Ren Fang's. He felt that Po Tengkou was a God-given opportunity, and it would be a waste to only take the hegemony level. What he meant was that the Zhen army would send 250,000 troops, and the Sichuan army would send 50,000 troops. The two armies would use 100,000 troops to attack Ba Pass, while the other 200,000 Zhen troops would march straight into the hinterland of Feng Kingdom and take Yancheng, the capital of Feng.
His tactics are too bold. When fighting in an enemy country, no matter which army it is, it is important to fight steadily and step by step. Who dares to go deep alone? If the enemy forces organize a counterattack, the lone army will be in dire straits.
But Nie Ze had the courage and courage, and he believed that his own army had such strength.
From the bottom of his heart, Ren Fang did not object to Nie Ze's tactics, but he was very worried that the 200,000 Zhen army would be trapped in Fengdi.
He said: "General Nie, if your army of 200,000 soldiers goes deep alone, there will be no backup or logistical supplies. How can we fight?"
Nie Ze raised his head and laughed, looked around at the Sichuan army generals, and said arrogantly: "Our army has never needed logistics when fighting. We can grab wherever we go. We are self-sufficient. There is no problem. Even if we encounter the wind army, we have nothing to fear. Our army has 200,000 soldiers. If we fight head-on, we can sweep across the Feng Kingdom and defeat the Feng Army!"
After he finished speaking, all the Zhenjun generals nodded their heads, their mouths curled up, and their arrogance was evident in their words.
When he said this, Ren Fang and the Sichuan army generals had nothing to say. Ren Fang stood up, turned around, and looked at the map of Feng Kingdom hanging high, silent. The distance from Baguan to Yancheng is not close. It has to pass through several major cities such as Chongcheng, Fangcheng, Jiancheng, Fengcheng, and Wancheng. Can it be done with only 200,000 Zhenjun?
No matter how he thought about it, Ren Fang felt it was too risky.
At this time, Nie Ze said again: "Commander Ren, your troops are valuable and quick, so you can't delay! According to reports, almost all the troops in Feng Kingdom are concentrated in Ba Pass, and there are very few usable troops left in the capital and various counties. , our army advanced all the way, but before Feng Guo could organize a sufficient number of troops, he reached Yancheng. As long as Yancheng is broken and the emperor is captured, our army will win this battle. "
Ren Fang said worriedly: "But, doing this... is too dangerous."
"Huh? As the commander-in-chief of Dazhen, I am not afraid, so what should Commander Ren be afraid of? Does Commander Ren not have confidence in the combat power of our army?"
Ren Fang waved his hand with a wry smile and said, "I didn't mean that." It was because the Zhen army's fighting power was so fierce and terrifying that the king took the initiative to form an alliance with the Zhen country. However, no matter how strong your fighting power is, you are still only two With 100,000 people and no backup or logistical supplies, it would be impossible to capture Fengdu in this way.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Nie Ze waved his hand and said: "Shuai Ren, don't worry anymore, just follow my ideas. I know much better than Shuai Ren about the combat strength of our army!"
Nie Ze repeatedly emphasized his combat power and repeatedly wanted to go deep alone. In the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
He understands that as an ally, he should and must trust his allies. If it is true, as Nie Ze said, that 200,000 Zhen troops can march straight in and capture Yancheng, the capital of wind, then this battle to extinguish the wind will be It can end early.
Ren Fang asked: "General Nie, who do you want to send to lead these 200,000 soldiers?"
Nie Ze smiled and turned to look at his subordinates.
All the generals straightened their chests and leaned forward subconsciously. Looking at their impatient postures, it seemed that everyone wanted to enlist in the battle. In fact, this is indeed the case. The generals of the Zhen Army are not afraid of fighting hard, nor are they afraid of fighting alone. There are no Sichuan troops around to restrain them or drag them down, so they feel that they can let go more easily.
Nie Ze said: "I sent General Li Cheng as the main general, and Generals Xun Xiao and Gao Jun as assistants. What does Commander Ren think?"
When Ren Fang heard the words, he nodded secretly, the expression on his face softened a little, and he said with a smile: "That's very good."
Li Cheng was a general of the State of Zhen, holding the rank of Lieutenant General. In terms of seniority, he was the uncle of Li Hong, the monarch of the State of Zhen. However, he was not as old as Li Hong, and was a brave and warlike "fierce general". However, he was not so powerful as a general, but was known for his fierceness in commanding troops. He was also warlike and had a fiery temper. He once led 20,000 Zhen troops to fight against 200,000 enemy troops that invaded the State of Zhen. Although Li Cheng was a civil general who did not understand Lingwu, he took the lead and rushed into the enemy's formation, which greatly boosted the morale of the Zhen army. The 20,000 soldiers defeated the 200,000 enemy troops. This battle also made Li Cheng famous.
Later, in the battle with the enemy, Li Cheng repeatedly made extraordinary achievements. As a civil general, he had more than a hundred scars on his body. He could be called an outlier among civil generals and a fierce general among fierce generals.
Gao Jun was a truly fierce general of the State of Zhen. As mentioned in the previous article, the Flying Dragon Thunder Axe in his hand had killed several wind generals in front of the two armies. As for Xun Xiao, he was also a famous general of Zhen State. He wielded a sky-opening axe and was unrivaled on the battlefield.
Li Cheng, Xun Xiao, and Gao Jun were all brave and fierce fighters. The three of them led the 200,000 Zhen Army, which was destined to be brave and strong.
In the subsequent wars, this Zhen Army entered the territory of Feng State, just like a storm. They killed people and gods. No one could match them. They caused chaos in Feng State and made people panic. In the end, they were not really defeated by the Feng people. Of course, this is a later story.
Ren Fang had heard of the three people proposed by Nie Ze and felt that it was the most suitable for them to lead the army.
The commanders of the two armies, led by Ren Fang and Nie Ze, finalized the next tactics.
The Zhen army sent 250,000 troops, and the Sichuan army sent 50,000 troops, secretly sneaking into the Feng Kingdom through the Broken Wind Pass. 100,000 soldiers went around the back of Baguan, cut off their supplies, cut off their retreat, and joined forces with the army in front of Baguan to attack the city. The other 200,000 Zhen troops marched deep into the Feng Kingdom, first took Chongcheng, and used Chongcheng as a springboard to march towards Fengdu Yancheng.
If the Feng Army did not notice the tactics of the Sichuan-Zhen coalition, the consequences would be disastrous. The core of the Feng Army headed by Tang Yin might all die in Baguan, but the war is full of changes and coincidences. No one knows what the outcome of the war will be until the last moment.
In the next few days, the Sichuan-Zhen coalition, as before, no longer took the initiative to attack, but only used catapults to attack Baguan.
Three days later.
The plague tactics advocated and personally led by Guo Song began to be implemented. The soldiers of the Zhen army wrapped the bodies like dumplings, hooked the severely rotten bodies in the pit, and then wrapped them with the belts prepared in advance. The bodies were wrapped like mummies, and then loaded onto the car, deliberately bypassing their own military camps and pulling them to the front of the two armies.
The soldiers of the Sichuan army had already arranged the position of the catapults and pulled the cableway. Before the corpse-carrying team of the Zhen army arrived, people were scared and ran back to their own camp early. After the Sichuan army arrived, people fixed the bodies on the throwing plate, and then turned their heads in unison, waiting for their commander to give orders.
Nie Ze was very courageous. He personally walked to the vicinity of the catapult and stopped more than ten meters away. The bodies were all wrapped tightly, but that couldn't stop the stench. Nie Ze frowned, pulled out a sweat towel, covered his mouth and nose, and then waved his hand casually.
The generals in the Zhen army understood and shouted loudly: "Fire!"
Huh!
With the shouting, the soldiers of the Zhen army released the cableway together, and the side of the catapult sank rapidly, while the side of the throwing plate bounced up rapidly. In a whirring sound, hundreds of rotten corpses flew into the air and fell into the Baguan City.
The Feng army was accustomed to the attack tactics of the Sichuan-Zhen coalition's catapults. People hid behind the city walls, talking and laughing, and did not block it at all. However, this time it was not a stone bullet that fell, but a corpse that had rotted into a pool of smelly meat.
Bang!
A group of Feng soldiers were talking, and suddenly there was a muffled sound, and a corpse fell not far from them. The corpses were wrapped in cloth strips, but the force of the fall was too great. After landing, the cloth strips were torn, and the black flesh and bones were exposed from inside. The soldiers of the Feng army had never seen this before, and people looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Some brave soldiers slowly stepped forward, first picked it up with their weapons, and after seeing it clearly, they all changed color, and turned back in anger and shouted: "Damn it, the enemy threw in corpses, which must be a humiliation for us not to fight!" "Quick, quick, brothers, come here and move the corpses away!" "Damn, why is it so smelly..." The defenseless Feng army came forward one after another, pulling the corpses with their hands and feet, and many people gathered around to watch the excitement, and laughter came from time to time: "The enemy is at a loss, and actually threw corpses in." "I think the enemy's stones are not enough!" "Haha——"
