Chapter 842 Tang Yin carefully studied Fan Shan's opinion, and finally decided to adopt it.
It's not that he thinks Fan Shan's strategy is clever, it's that he can't think of any other way to deal with the enemy right now.
However, Tang Yin did not break his promise, and promoted Fan Shan's position as a military counselor to a military officer.
The rank of the military officer is higher than that of the military counselor, second only to the military advisor of the army, and he can directly speak to the king, and he is also qualified to participate in large-scale military meetings.
According to Fan Shan's advance, Tang Yin left the Western Frontier Army in Gaochuan County, and ordered it to avoid the enemy's edge, hide in the jungle, and specialize in the logistics of sneaking up on the enemy.
Tang Yin was able to leave the Western Frontier Army led by Zuo Shuang in Gaochuan County, showing great trust in Zuo Shuang and the Western Frontier Army, which made Zuo Shuang very excited, and he also completely made up his mind to follow Tang Yin to the death.
In the following battle, the Western Frontier Army greatly restrained the Chuanzhen coalition army in Gaochuan County and became their henchman, which also greatly reduced Tang Yin's pressure.
Let's say that on Tang Yin's side, he successively sent the Chifeng Army and the Western Frontier Army, and only the direct army and the new army were left under his command, and the strength of the army was sharply reduced to 200,000.
However, there are still hidden dangers in these 200,000 people, and the combat effectiveness of the new army is a big headache for Tang Yin.
Tang Yin didn't stop much in Gaochuan County, and marched all the way to the northeast, heading straight for Jinyang.
Five days later, the Feng army arrived in Jinyang.
When he arrived in Jinyang, Tang Yin's heart couldn't tell what it was like.
Jinyang is actually not small, but the problem is that its castle is very small, only a few miles in radius, and outside the city wall, there are dense houses and streets, if you count these houses, then the area of Jinyang has to be at least one or two times larger.
Obviously, there was a problem with Jinyang's original planning, the city was built too small, and with the increase in population, the original city could not accommodate so many people, and the people who had nowhere to live could only build houses on the periphery of the city wall.
After the wind army arrived in Jinyang, it could not deploy defenses first, but had to clear the people inside and outside the city wall first.
Otherwise, when the battle comes, the sword and spear will have no eyes, and I don't know how many people will be killed by mistake Tang Yin also ordered Lotte and Ai Jia to send letters to the city lords of Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng respectively, ordering them to organize troops and manpower to do a good job of defense, and the main force of the Chuanzhen coalition army could attack at any time.
The city lords of the three cities received Tang Yin's order, where did they dare to delay, and they sent letters to the county and the county, asking the county soldiers and county soldiers to immediately reinforce, and at the same time, they themselves also gathered the officers and soldiers in the city to strengthen the city defense and store grain and grass.
The Feng army has only arrived in Jinyang for one day, and the people of Jinyang are about to run away, and in the end, only some strong men who are willing to stay and work as coolies are left.
The city lord of Jinyang City did not run, nor did he dare to run, and organized a small number of officers and soldiers in the city and strong men to cooperate with the wind army to deploy defense.
Tang Yin inspected his own defense situation on the city wall, and looked at the empty houses inside and outside the city, he sighed in his heart, fighting in the homeland, no matter whether the battle went smoothly or not, it was the people of his country who suffered in the end.
The houses outside the city walls were not wasted, and the traps were set up from house to house, although it was very crude, but it was absolutely no problem to kill and injure enemy soldiers.
Once the enemy runs into the house to avoid his own arrows, the stone projectiles of the stone throwers can collapse the houses and kill the enemy.
Tang Yin made preparations in Jinyang, just waiting for the Sichuan Zhen coalition army to attack.
At this time, the Kawajeong coalition army was still marching slowly in Gaocheon-gun.
The terrain of Gaochuan County is too complicated, there are many mountains, and there are many woodlands, so he dare not venture in, for fear of being ambushed by the wind army, although the spies have reported to him, Tang Yin led the army into Jinyang City, but Ren Fang is still cautious, in addition, the baggage of the Sichuan army is too much, and it is impossible to go fast if you want to, and the siege weapons such as heavy stone throwers, rushing cars, thunderbolt cars, cloud cars, and arrow towers are walking on the mountain roads of Gaochuan County, which is extremely difficult.
The advantage of a slow march is that it can prevent the enemy from ambushing, and second, it also gives Ren Fang enough time to ponder the combat intentions of the wind army.
Nie Ze was unimpressed by the Feng Army's retreat to Jinyang, according to the information sent back by the spies, Jinyang was just a small city, and the city walls were also short, in his opinion, Tang Yin was killing himself.
He disliked that the Sichuan army was walking too slowly, so he proposed to Ren Fang that he lead the 250,000 Zhen army to go first, wait for him to break through Jinyang, cut off Tang Yin's head, and then come back to meet him.
Listening to the meaning of Nie Ze's words, it seems that he led the army to capture Jinyang, and the Sichuan army may not be able to reach Jinyang.
After listening to his words, Ren Fang shook his head and smiled, and said: "General Nie, Tang Yin is not a monarch who doesn't know soldiers, the reason why he chose to garrison the small city of Jinyang, don't you have doubts in your heart?"
Nie Ze blinked his eyes and said nonchalantly: "He must have been chased by our army in a hurry, and he chose to resist our army in Jinyang." ” Ren Fang sighed, asked people to take the map, spread it on the ground, and then raised his head to Nie Zeyang, and said: "General Nie, you see, the layout around Jinyang is very interesting, it is adjacent to the three cities, Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng are less than 100 miles away from Jinyang, if our army attacks Jinyang, once the three cities send reinforcements, it will not take a day to arrive, and then my army attacking the city will not be attacked by the enemy."
Nie Ze inhaled, he really hadn't carefully studied the terrain around Jinyang, he lowered his head, looked at the map carefully, and found that what Ren Fang said was right, the layout of Jinyang and the surrounding three cities was indeed very strange, mainly because they were too close to each other.
He subconsciously asked: "How many troops are there in the three cities of Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng?"
Ren Fang shook his head and said: "The spies who went out to investigate have not come back yet, and the specific situation is not clear, but there are not a few troops who want to come to these three cities, otherwise Tang Yin would never be so relieved and bold to be stationed in Jinyang." ” Nie Ze is also a commander who is good at using soldiers, after listening to Ren Fang's analysis, he secretly said that it was reasonable, he rubbed his chin, and muttered: "This is a bit troublesome."
As he spoke, he raised his head and asked Ren Fang, "Ren Shuai, what are you going to do?"
Ren Fang smiled and said, "I haven't been able to do it for a while.
General Nie, do you still want to fight this battle now?"
This time, Nie Ze was not in a hurry to fight, he shook his head and said: "If it is only Jinyang, I am confident that I will fight it, but there are three fucking cities as its backup, and this battle cannot be fought by my army alone."
"So, let's march slowly, trying to break the enemy as we go."
Ren Fang said with a smile.
He said that he didn't come up with a solution, but in fact he already knew it.
Ren Fang is an expert in fighting tough battles, and he has dozens of cities captured by the Sichuan State, with rich experience and experienced soldiers.
In his opinion, it is easy to break Jinyang, encircle the point to send reinforcements, to put it bluntly, it is to feint Jinyang, lead Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng to send troops to reinforce, whichever side comes first will meet which side, so that it will not come back.
In a war, in fact, the commanders of the two armies figure out each other's minds and make correct calculations, and the next battle will be able to defeat the enemy step by step.
Ren Fang thought that Tang Yin dared to garrison Jinyang, and the surrounding three cities must have heavy troops, but in fact, the troops of Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng were not many, and they might not be able to fill 5,000 people together.

Fan Shan's strategy itself is a risky move, and the reason why Tang Yin will adopt it is that there is no way to do it, and he himself has a strong adventurous spirit.
The Chuan Zhen coalition army still marched slowly, and the horses went back and forth, bringing batches of intelligence back to the army.
Among them, the scouts who explored the three cities of Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng also returned one after another, and the information they found out was quite predicted by Ren Fang, and the result they found out was that the defenders of Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng were only more than 1,000 people, which was far from Ren Fang's calculations.
If the report is true, the strength of the three cities is less than 5,000, then there is no way to reinforce Jinyang, Jinyang is no different from the lonely city, but the question is, is the report of the other side true, will the other party hide the main army The more good the commander of the army, the more conceited he becomes, and this is the case with Ren Fang, because the information brought back by the spies has violated common sense, he didn't believe it at all, and still insisted on the tactics he had conceived at the beginning, encircling the point to send reinforcements.
Within a few days, the Sichuan army marched to Lishan Castle in Takakawa County.
An army of more than 600,000 captured Lishan with almost no effort.
After crossing Lishan, and then going north, 500 miles away is Jinyang, Ren Fang deliberately left 20,000 troops, stationed in Lishan City, and used this place as a logistics base for the Sichuan-Zhen coalition army, hoarding grain, grass and baggage.
Three days later, the main force of the Chuanzhen coalition army finally marched to the territory of Jinyang.
Seeing the strange city of Jinyang, both the Sichuan and Zhen armies were very surprised.
Although there are examples of houses built outside the castle in other cities, the scale is not large, only a few sporadic ones, Jinyang is good, the number of houses outside the castle is more than that inside the castle, and the area is much larger.
Nie Ze, who was watching, couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and said with a sneer: "How was the city wall of Jinyang built, how was it built into the private houses, and the city lord who built the city wall in the first place should have been cut with a thousand knives."
Ren Fang was also happy, and said: "I think people have been in the ground for hundreds of years."
Nie Ze asked, "Let's send troops to find out what the wind army is doing."
Ren Fang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, our army has come from afar, and it is not too late to rest for a day first." ” Fighting with Ren Fang, Nie Ze didn't feel anything else, but he was very impressed by his compassion for the soldiers.
Nie Ze had no opinion, nodded and responded: "Okay, everything is left to the handsome" The Chuan Zhen coalition army set up camp two miles away from Jinyang, and then Ren picked out a group of elite men from the Orion family and told them to sneak into the houses on the outskirts of Jinyang Castle after dark to destroy the traps laid inside.
Nie Ze was very surprised by his order, and couldn't help asking: "Ren Shuai, how do you know that there will be traps in the house?"
Ren Fang smiled and said: "The wind army left so many houses outside the city behind, it is definitely not for our army to hide from arrows, if I expect it to be correct, there must be traps among them." ”:
