Seeing that the Chuanzhen coalition had given up the siege and the whole army retreated to rescue the camp, Zuo Shuang did not dare to delay and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat and return to Gaochuan County TXT download.
How could the exasperated Chuanzhen coalition let them leave? The large troops of the two armies followed to kill them.
However, the Western Border Army did not go deep into the enemy camp and retreated quickly. Under the command of Zuo Shuang, the rear team of the whole army became the front team and retreated in an orderly manner.
The cavalry of the Chuanzhen coalition was the first to chase out of the camp. They thought that they could use the impact of the cavalry to disperse the Feng Army, but they were shot head-on by the Western Border Army.
Bows and arrows are a powerful weapon to restrain cavalry. In addition, the Western Border Army is good at archery, and they retreated on their own initiative, not in defeat. In a very short time, they released an arrow formation, which made the Chuanzhen cavalry who came to chase them suffer a lot. Thousands of cavalry who rushed in front were nailed into hedgehogs by the dense arrow formation.
The Chuanzhen cavalry was shocked. They dared not charge hard under such dense and fierce arrow arrays. They turned their horses and retreated to the camp.
The enemy cavalry retreated, and the Western Border Army was no longer under pressure. The army returned to Gaochuan County quickly and orderly.
The Western Border Army came quickly and left quickly. They did not have a direct confrontation with the main force of the Chuanzhen coalition, but the role they played was extremely critical. They directly solved the danger of Jinyang and made the Chuanzhen coalition's siege, which was bound to win, return in vain again.
After two days of fierce attacks by the Chuanzhen coalition, the new army stationed in Jinyang suffered heavy casualties, from nearly 100,000 troops to more than 30,000. Of course, the Chuanzhen coalition suffered much more casualties than the new army, but the Chuanzhen coalition also had much more troops than the new army. Even if the number of casualties exceeded 100,000, it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the entire army.
The battle to defend the city was so bad that even Qiu Zhen began to lose confidence. He privately persuaded Tang Yin to give up Jinyang, go north to join the direct army, retake Ningding, and then fight the enemy. Tang Yin also wanted to withdraw. He didn't want to fight anymore after the battle, but the risk of retreating at this time was too great.
There are tens of thousands of Zhen troops stationed in Ningding now. If the attack goes smoothly and they can take it down in one go, it would be fine. If the attack is blocked, the main force of the Sichuan-Zhen coalition forces behind will chase and kill them. Even if his army wants to run, there will be no place to run, and there is a danger of annihilation. At present, Tang Yin can only grit his teeth and hold on in Jinyang. Even if he withdraws, he has to wait until the direct army and the local army have joined forces to take Ningding, and he has a real retreat before he can retreat from Jinyang.
Tang Yin did not accept Qiu Zhen's opinion and decided to continue to defend Jinyang. The only thing that can make him feel at ease is the containment of the enemy by the Western Border Army. Tang Yin has sent orders to the Sanshui Army and the West Border Army, asking the two armies to join forces to stop the aggressive Huan Army. The Sanshui Army acted according to Tang Yin's orders, but the West Border Army stayed in Gaochuan County and did not move.
Zuo Shuang did not have the courage to disobey Tang Yin's orders. The reason why the West Border Army did not go with the Sanshui Army to meet the enemy was Liang Qi's intention.
Liang Qi seemed to be a peaceful person, but in fact, he was very arrogant and there were few people he could look up to. As the commander of the Sanshui Army, he had fought too many times with the Ning Army. In his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the Ning Army was extremely poor. If he joined forces with it, the Ning people would not only fail to cooperate with him, but would also drag him down, which would not be worth the loss. Second, and most importantly, Liang Qi hated the Huan Army to the bone. When he defeated the Huan army, he was kind enough not to kill the surrendered soldiers and generals, and even released them all. However, the Huan Kingdom not only showed no gratitude, but also sent another 400,000 troops to come. This made Liang Qi's heart full of resentment, and he was angry and angry. He didn't want to use the hands of others. He made up his mind to defeat the Huan army again with the strength of the Sanshui army and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor.
Liang Qi was originally a calm and cunning person, but this time he was a little impulsive.
Zuo Shuang stayed in Gaochuan County according to Liang Qi's intention, but accidentally solved the danger of Jinyang.
In the next few days, as long as the Chuanzhen coalition attacked the city, the Western Border Army, who heard the news, would rush over from Gaochuan County and attack the camp of the Chuanzhen coalition. Zuo Shuang was very good at using troops and was very cautious. Every time he attacked the enemy camp, he would not rush in. He only shot arrows and set fire at the edge of the enemy camp. Once he saw the main force of the enemy army returning to the camp, he immediately led his army to withdraw to Gaochuan County.
His tactics are like a piece of gum, sticking to you tightly, no matter how hard you try, you can't peel it off. The Chuanzhen coalition was annoyed by the harassment tactics of the Western Border Army, but the latter was too cunning to catch the opportunity to fight it head-on. The Chuanzhen coalition attacked the city several times, but ended up returning to the camp to save themselves.
At this time, even Ren Fang was troubled by this Feng Army. He sent people to investigate carefully and found out that this Feng Army was not a real Feng Army. Its predecessor was the Central Army of Ningguo, and its commander was a Ning general named Zuo Shuang. Ren Fang was very smart and keenly realized that there might be an opportunity.
He sent a eloquent Chuanguo strategist to Gaochuan County to persuade Zuo Shuang to surrender to Chuanguo and jointly attack Feng. After all, Ningguo was destroyed by Fengguo, and Ningren and Fengren should be mortal enemies. After entering Gaochuan County, this Chuanguo strategist found the station of the Western Border Army very smoothly, and also successfully met Zuo Shuang.
In front of Zuo Shuang, this counselor could be said to be eloquent, talkative, presenting facts, reasoning, moving with emotion and reasoning, and used all his abilities to try to convince Zuo Shuang. Zuo Shuang did not interrupt him, but listened silently, pondering without saying a word. Finally, when the Sichuan counselor's reasoning came to an end, Zuo Shuang asked with a smile: "Is this what you want to say?"
The counselor of the Sichuan Kingdom nodded his head and said seriously: "Since General Zuo Shuang is so good at using troops, he must be a hero among people. He should be able to see that now that the Feng Kingdom is over, it is the right way to escape as soon as possible. If he continues to defend the Feng Kingdom, Let go, General Zuo Shuang and many of his soldiers will probably die without a burial place!"
His words were half persuasion and half threat.
Zuo Shuang nodded, glanced past the counselor, looked outside the tent, and shouted loudly: "Come here! Pull out this Sichuan Guo Xizuo who is deceiving the public with his monstrous words and disrupting the morale of our army, and behead him in public!"
His words frightened the Sichuan counselor on the spot. He was an envoy of the First Army. Even if Zuo Shuang didn't listen to his persuasion, he couldn't kill him! Before he could explain, the guards outside swarmed in, dragged him out of the tent without explanation, and chopped off his head with a knife.
Zuo Shuang asked people to put the heads of Sichuan counselors into boxes and send them back to the camp of the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces to prove their determination.
The envoy he sent out was killed and only a bloody severed head was returned. This was undoubtedly a great shame for Ren Fang. He immediately sent his deputy commander Jin Zhuo to command the 200,000 Sichuan Zhen coalition troops to Gaochuan County to crusade. Western Army. Before dispatching the troops, Ren Fang gave Jin Zhuo a death order. This enemy army must be completely wiped out at any cost.
Jin Zhuo took the order and left, leading an army of 200,000 people with great momentum and marched southward into Gaochuan County, hoping to fight to the death with the Western Army.
The Western Border Army, commanded by Zuo Shuang, was more cunning than a fox. As soon as he heard that a large group of troops from the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Army was coming towards him, he led all the soldiers to abandon the camp and fled into the hinterland of Gaochuan County overnight, using roundabout tactics to entangle the enemy. .
The siege in the past few days has caused heavy casualties to the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces. Now another 200,000 troops have been sent, and the number of troops available to attack the city has been greatly reduced. Although the Western Border Army has been scared away, the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces can no longer organize. Launch a powerful siege.
In the next few days, the fierce fighting between the two sides gradually turned into a bitter battle. Ren Sheng knew very well that his own side was in a difficult situation, and the Feng Army in Jinyang Nei was even more difficult. He must not relax at this time, let alone stop attacking the city. Even if he had to bite the bullet, he had to persevere and not give the Feng Army in Jinyang Nei a chance to breathe. machine.
The Feng Army is also struggling to support itself. The enemy's siege forces are getting smaller and smaller, but the Feng Army's combatable troops have shrunk even more seriously. If Tang Yin hadn't stayed on top of the city, fighting with the army The lieutenant generals fought side by side to defend against the enemy, and the fighting spirit of the Feng army might have collapsed long ago.
The two sides had an arrow on the string and had no choice but to fight, while the other side was fighting desperately to survive. By this time, the battle of Jinyang had reached a stalemate. It was difficult for the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces to break through Jinyang, and Jinyang had no power to retreat from the enemy. Although the fighting between the two armies was still going on, the intensity was far from the same as the first two days of siege.
On the other side, the direct army and the three local armies that left Jinyang and headed north appeared in the four directions of Ningding, southeast, northwest. There are 100,000 people in the direct army, and 70,000 or 80,000 people in the three areas, totaling nearly 200,000 troops.
Many Feng troops suddenly appeared outside Ningding City. Most of them were unexpected by Xiao Chong, the leader of the Zhen Army. He even suspected that the Feng troops had abandoned Jinyang and all rushed to Ningding.
He hurriedly ordered the city to be closed, and all the soldiers in the army went to the city wall to resist the attack of the wind army.
After the direct army and local army arrived in Ningding, their commanders gathered together to discuss strategies against the enemy.
As Wuying was the commander-in-chief of the direct army, the commanders of the three local armies naturally followed her lead.
According to Wuying's wishes, our side should attack the city with all its strength, break through the Zhen army's defense line in one go, and break into the city.
Before the commander-in-chief of the three local armies could express his stance, Fan Shan had already begun to shake his head and said repeatedly: "It's inappropriate! It's really inappropriate for the whole army to attack by force!"
Wuying secretly frowned, squinted at Fan Shan, and asked, "What does General Fan think is wrong?"
Fan Shan said seriously: "We don't know the strength of the enemy's army yet, so how can we attack with all our strength as soon as the war begins? We should first let the brothers in the county army take the lead, test the strength of the enemy's army first, and be aware of it, and then we can It’s not too late for the direct army to join the war!”
What he meant was to use the three-pronged local army as a guidepost. The three commander-in-chief generals felt quite uncomfortable when they heard this, but from the overall situation, Fan Shan's words did make sense. After all, the direct-affiliated army was the main force, and You are the Central Army, one of the pillars of resistance to the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces, and cannot afford losses.
Wuying thought about it carefully and thought that Fan Shan's idea was a good one. Then he nodded in gratitude, looked around at the three generals, and asked, "What do the three generals mean?"
