Chapter 604: Who Can Stop It?

The attack on the city is also to fight those who are easy to fight. Don't stick to it, just bypass it. The purpose is to defeat the enemy's main combat troops. The difficult cities are left for the follow-up troops to continue to intimidate.

Meng Shanming's purpose is to implement Nanzhou's strategic intentions, grab the time, and occupy the territory first, and leave those difficult-to-attack cities to be conquered by most of Nanzhou's troops who arrive later.

To put it bluntly, relying on Nanzhou's strong soldiers and horses, bullying Dingzhou has insufficient troops after being transferred.

Once Meng Shanming adjusted his tactics, Dingzhou's defenders were immediately miserable.

The carriage was running all the way, Meng Shanming did not fix the command center, the command center of the army's attack was on the moving carriage.

Meng Shanming, who was sitting in the carriage, stayed up all night. Although his face looked tired, he kept staring at the map to receive military information from all sides and then issued various orders.

Luo Da'an has been by his side to serve him, and he also witnessed it in his ears.

With the arrival of Yingyang Wuliewei's men and horses, Meng Shanming's commanding power of a generation of famous generals was immediately revealed, which can be described as radiant!

Meng Shanming used a group of troops to clamp down on the main force of the enemy army that had already been assembled, supplemented by the heroic military guards running around to prevent the enemy's small group of troops from gathering, and prevent the enemy from forming an absolutely superior corps headed by the main force , It is also buying time for the arrival of one's own follow-up troops.

The small groups of enemies gathered from all over the place were vulnerable to Ying Yang Wu Liewei, and the forces gathered from all directions were defeated and scattered, leaving the main force of the enemy alone.

When the goal is achieved, our side has gathered some forces on the frontal battlefield, and Ying Yang Wu Liewei immediately returns to the frontal battlefield, combining the frontal forces to attack the enemy's main force!

Nanzhou's 30,000 troops faced off with Dingzhou's 50,000 troops, and the defenders still had an advantage after all.

The flags were fluttering, the drums were rumbling, and the sound of killing was loud. The cavalry on both sides took the lead in charging head-on.

Not to mention that the number of Dingzhou cavalry in this battle is far inferior to that of Yingyang Wuliewei, and in terms of combat power, it is not at all an opponent of the famous Yingyang Wuliewei.

The cavalry lineup assembled in Dingzhou collapsed in a frontal charge, and was overwhelmed by the subsequent Nanzhou troops.

Yingyang Wuliewei, who defeated the frontal cavalry, took the lead in entering the enemy's 50,000 army. He was extremely brave and cut them into small pieces fiercely.

After attacking vigorously, the 50,000 troops in Dingzhou were defeated, corpses were scattered all over the field, and most of the remnant soldiers fled in panic after they were cut off all the way.

The defeated army fled into a mountain road in a valley, and suddenly saw piles of vegetation rolling down like rain, and rolling stones at the end of the valley blocked the way like thunder.

On the mountains on both sides, thousands of archers appeared, ignited rockets and shot them into the valley. For a while, the flames rose, and tens of thousands of remnant soldiers screamed like ghosts and wolves in the valley.

He wanted to retreat to the exit, but the way he had come from had been blocked by chasing soldiers, and waves of arrows rained down, and groups of people who staggered and begged for mercy and shouted to surrender fell to the ground.

With tens of thousands of horses, there is no way to go to the sky, no way to go to the earth, trapped in the sea of ​​flames, the defeated monks who accompanied the army also fled in a panic with the leader and general, and were chased and killed by the monks of Dachan Mountain!

Unable to escape with a person on his back, the escaping monk had no choice but to leave behind the enemy general and flee.

In a desperate situation, the leader of the enemy army will protect his family in the capital, draws his sword and kills himself, but the sword in his hand is shot down and captured alive!

Under the setting sun, amidst the lingering smoke, two monks jointly lifted up the wheelchair on the top of the valley, and Luo Da'an, who was carrying two guns, followed behind and climbed up the mountain.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Meng Shanming smelled the smell of burnt corpses, looked at the tragic image in the valley, expressionless, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart bathed in the sunset light.

Tens of thousands of remnant soldiers begged for mercy and surrendered in desperation, but he did not accept, but issued a military order to kill without mercy!

It's not that he is ruthless, but the current situation does not allow him to spend energy on these remnant soldiers. The time does not allow him, and the speed does not allow him. ...He will not allow this accident to appear on the battlefield!

The miserable scene in front of him made Luo Daan feel like vomiting.

Even the two wheelchair-carrying Dachan Mountain monks were chilling, and they secretly glanced at Meng Shanming from time to time, and found that this man was much more ruthless than their monks, killing tens of thousands of people easily!

In Rongyang County City, the captured enemy generals were escorted outside the city gate, and the assembled Nanzhou people shouted outside the city, threatening not to open the city and surrender. Once the city is broken, all the officials in the city will be slaughtered.

For this decisive battle, the soldiers and horses in the city almost took time out, and there were no troops to defend the city at all. Knowing that they could not defend the city, the monks who defended the city fled, and the city gate of Rongyang County was opened wide.

The army rested, but Meng Shanming did not rest, and still commanded and dispatched troops from other places to maintain the offensive.

This is the first county town captured by Nanzhou troops in Dingzhou!

The governor of Rongyang County had no choice but to surrender. The whole family, old and young, were under the knife. They had no choice but to order all the counties under Rongyang County to surrender!

This is the first day of the war, and it is also the first day of the war when Dingzhou and Nanzhou have a large-scale gathering of troops, and it ends in a disastrous defeat in Dingzhou!

This was a battle that took place outside the city of Rongyang County. The 50,000 troops of Dingzhou faced a disastrous defeat of 30,000 troops from Nanzhou, and were almost wiped out. Only about 2,000 people fled here and there.

When the news spread, the impact on the territory covered by the Nanzhou troops was immeasurable. The imperial court troops were no match for the Nanzhou troops. How could 50,000 people be wiped out when facing 30,000?

Especially after learning the news that tens of thousands of defeated troops surrendered and were not completely slaughtered after resisting, they were all moved!

Facing the intimidation and threats from the follow-up troops in Nanzhou, some cities that had been firmly defended and difficult to attack before surrendered one after another.

And the Dingzhou people who are about to confront the Nanzhou army in the future are all terrified, and their will to resist is weak!

The morale of the Nanzhou Army was soaring after learning that our side fought more with less and wiped out the enemy with little loss!

And this is exactly the effect that Meng Shanming needs in this battle. He won the first battle, strengthened the morale of the exhausted soldiers and horses, and destroyed the morale of the enemy army!

There is another purpose, which is to deter the enemy from entanglement with this side with a small group, and force the opponent to shrink and gather troops, so that this side can gain territory at a faster speed.

The highest strategic intention here is only known to a few people in Nanzhou. It is not to divide the final victory with the Dingzhou people. The hidden real purpose is to quickly occupy as much land as possible!

This purpose does not dare to be exposed to the outside world, otherwise Dingzhou must try its best to delay it.

...

The news of the defeat spread to the big tent of the Dingzhou Central Army. In the newly built tent, Xue Xiao, who was wearing a battle armor, held the battle report, his hands trembling, and said to himself, "How could the defeat be so miserable? Meng Shanming personally directs... who can stop?"

Wan Qingyan and Gai Huan's faces were ugly, it was only the first day of the war, and even a day hadn't passed, and they lost a whole county!

Gai Huan suddenly said: "Brother Xue, immediately send another letter to the imperial court, requesting the urgent dispatch of reinforcements from nearby state capitals!"

The good news spread to Nanzhou Governor's Mansion, Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting in the Yingwu Hall looked at each other with the good news and laughed, and the generals were also elated.

"Hurry up, it's really fast to take down a county so quickly! Uncle Meng personally went out, it's really extraordinary." Shang Chaozong was very happy.

A general hehe said: "My lord, when Meng Shuai led the army of the Yan Kingdom to shake the world, even the countries were trembling. He Xue Xiao is a fart. If Xue Xiao knew that his opponent was Meng Shuai, he would be scared to death." Xue Xiao's guts!"

"Haha!" Everyone laughed again.

In another courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, Huang Tong quickly stepped in, found Huang Lie, and reported the victory.

After hearing this, Huang Lie was also very surprised, and said in amazement: "You have won a county in such a short period of time? With such a large territory, it would be difficult for the army to run all over the county in such a short period of time, right?"

Huang Tong laughed and said: "To be exact, counting the other counties that surrendered in Kaesong, it is more than one county. It is said that there may be one and a half counties in total. The head, I have to admit that this Meng Shanming is in They are indeed formidable on the battlefield, a generation of famous generals really lived up to their reputation, and they are invincible and sweep away as soon as they go out!"

Huang Lie couldn't laugh, and sighed softly, "We've been dragged into the water this time, and it's hard for the outside world to think that we're wearing a pair of trousers like Niu Youdao."

I thought it would be fine if the two sides meet and wait until the three major factions intervene, but who knows that Dingzhou is so vulnerable, it's really hard to ride a tiger and make things real. It has already been fought like this, if he withdraws the manpower from Dachan Mountain now, once Nanzhou is defeated, there is no way to explain to Nanzhou.

The smile on Huang Tong's face froze and he remained silent.

...

"You want me to let you go?"

In thatched cottage, Niu Youdao, who was sitting in the pavilion, looked at the court news sent by Shang Chaozong and sneered.

Shang Chaozong didn't ask him to release him, but passed the news to him for him to make a decision.

The letter was slapped on the stone table, and Niu You said: "Reply to the prince, and let the prince agree to the court!"

Guan Fangyi at the side said in amazement: "You hang people on the top of the city. The court is just out of face. Now they are taking people away under the pretext of interrogation. We will not be able to decide what the outcome of the interrogation will be."

Niu Youdao: "After all, Nanzhou is still the Nanzhou of Yan Kingdom in name, and everything must be done according to the rules. You can't let the prince openly resist the decree, right? The promise is the promise, and when it will be implemented is another matter. Beat me up Is there such a good thing for me to let people go easily? Inform the county town, and kill a group of those hanging on the top of the city! The imperial court sent them to sneak attack!"

Guan Fangyi shook her head and sighed, this was clearly a slap in the face of the imperial court, not only did she not release the man after receiving the order, she even killed people, how embarrassing is the imperial court!

Just at this time, Yuan Gang came, brought a letter and put it in front of Niu Youdao, "Good news from Dingzhou!"

"Oh!" Niu Youdao picked it up and looked at it with great interest. Guan Fangyi also quickly walked behind him, put an arm on his shoulder, and bent over to watch together, tsk-tsk.

"Haha!" Niu Youdao smiled happily after watching it, shook his head and praised: "As expected of Meng Shanming, he fought beautifully, and the progress of the victory far exceeded my expectations!"

His biggest expectation is that when the three major factions officially intervene, it would be best to seize the territory of one county in Dingzhou. Unexpectedly, the battle was so brilliant that he couldn't believe it. Within a day, Meng Shanming occupied one and a half counties The site, and really hit Nanzhou's aura hard as he said!

PS: The new leader is born, thanks to the support of "Dream Struggle", thank you!
