Chapter 879 The battle of the wind was far less easy than the two kingdoms of Chuan Zhen imagined at the beginning, as if the armies of the two countries could trample the wind country to the ground in just one walk.
The weather in the Windy Country was cold and dry, which made the soldiers of the Sichuan-Zhen coalition army extremely uncomfortable; The long journey of thousands of miles not only made the soldiers tired for a long time, but also the logistics supply line was too long, and they were attacked by the wind army again and again, which made the materials, grain and grass of the Sichuan-Zhen coalition army very tight; In addition, the military strength of the Wind Country was much stronger than Kawasada and the two countries expected, even if they were defeated, even if they suffered heavy casualties, the fighting spirit of the army was never lost, and no matter how difficult and dangerous the environment was, the Wind Army was still able to resist stubbornly.
All kinds of factors have greatly weakened Ren Fang's confidence, and he has less and less hope for the battle to destroy the wind.
The 50,000 Zhen army that captured Ningding was completely annihilated by the Feng army, and Ren Fang did not send troops to fight again, nor did he continue to attack Jinyang, but waited, one is to wait for Jin Zhuo to completely eliminate the Feng army in Gaochuan County, so that he no longer has to worry about the future when attacking, and the other is to wait for the arrival of the Huan army, although the battle of the Huan army is far less powerful than the Zhen army, but after all, it is an army of 400,000 people, and it is good to fill up their own momentum.
However, both of these expectations were disappointed.
First of all, Jin Zhuo's first department, the morale of the 200,000 army was like a macro, and they entered Gaochuan County in a mighty way, and then comprehensively pursued the whereabouts of the Feng Army, eager to start a frontal decisive battle with the Feng Army.
But Zuo Shuang knew that the enemy was strong and weak, and did not give the enemy a chance to confront him head-on, and the mountainous and woodland environment in Gaochuan County gave him a broad space for maneuver, and the western army was running around, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, so that the initiative of the Chuanzhen coalition army repeatedly hit the air.
Although Jin Zhuo's first division has an absolute advantage in terms of strength and combat power, it is led by the nose by the Western Frontier Army, and the situation is passive.
Jin Zhuo himself also understands that in this way of chasing the enemy, his own soldiers will become more and more tired, and their combat power will become weaker and weaker.
Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, and in the end, Jin Zhuo thought of offering a heavy reward, as long as the people of the Wind Country are willing to provide the whereabouts of the Wind Army, as long as the news is accurate, the reward will be ten thousand taels.
As soon as this news came out, there were really a lot of people in the Wind Country who came to report the news, but there were many people who reported false news, and few people who reported true news.
Jin Zhuo had no choice but to march to capture Lishan Castle and order the whole army to be stationed, after all, Lishan Castle was once the logistics base of the Sichuan Zhen coalition army, and in the case of not finding any trace of the Feng army, capturing Lishan Castle first would not make him unsuccessful.
Lishan City originally hoarded a large amount of supplies, grain and grass for the two armies of Chuan Zhen, but now, it is empty, and even the people of the Wind Country have run out, no different from a dead city.
On the second day when Jin Zhuo led the army into Lishan City, the grain and grass sent from the big operation were attacked by a small group of wind troops, and a team of grain trucks was burned and plundered most of them.
How do you know that the 20,000 Sichuan Army led by An Gong is in the trap of the Western Frontier Army, surrounded by more than 50,000 Western Frontier Legions, and the situation is precarious.
It was a matter of life and death for 20,000 brothers, Jin Zhuo did not dare to delay, and immediately led the main army out of the city to relieve the siege of Angong.
However, as soon as they left, the main force of the Western Frontier Army appeared near Lishan City and attacked the city with lightning speed.
When Jin Zhuo led the army to the place where Angong was trapped, the 50,000 western troops surrounding Angong had already run without a trace, and there was no time to trace where the enemy army had gone, so Jin Zhuo hurried back.
The main force of the Feng Army, which had just captured Lishan City, ran away again, but the supplies left in the city by the Chuanzhen Coalition Army were looted, and most of the soldiers who stayed behind were killed.
Jin Zhuo has fought all his life, fought for most of his life, and has never encountered such a cunning opponent.
The elusiveness of the wind army made him feel that he had nowhere to go, and the 200,000 elite Sichuan Zhen coalition army had no way to deal with the more than 100,000 Western Frontier troops whose combat effectiveness was not strong, and was completely restrained by the other party in Gaochuan County.
At this time, Zuo Shuang's flexible and changeable command ability in military affairs was brought into full play, and it was in the battle of Gaochuan County that the name Zuo Shuang was well remembered by the Sichuan Zhen coalition army, and it also made Zuo Shuang completely establish his military status in the country of wind.
Jin Zhuo's first division fought unfavorably in Gaochuan County, and the Huan army failed to enter the territory of the Wind Country.
When the Huan army passed through Mozambique, it was intercepted by the Sanshui army.
The strength of the Sanshui Army is less than 100,000, while the strength of the Huan Army has 400,000 people, it stands to reason that the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, and the Huan Army can completely take the opponent lightly, but after the two sides start the battle, the 400,000 Huan Army can not occupy any advantage on the battlefield, and can only fight to the extent that the Sanshui Army is evenly matched.
Just when the battle between the two sides was in a state of semi-stalemate and half-confrontation, Mozambique suddenly stepped in again.
Without warning, Mozambique's Tiger Ben army suddenly entered the battle and attacked from the rear of the Huan army.
The Sanshui Army is enough to make the Huan army difficult to parry, and now with the sneak attack of the Tiger Ben Army, where can the Huan Army support the defeat of being killed by the Second Army, although the casualties are not large, but the forty army was scattered.
After suddenly sending troops to attack the Huan army, Mo explained this, saying that the reason why the Mozambican army attacked the Huan army was not to aid the Feng country, nor to be enemies with the countries of the Wind Alliance, but because the Huan army had plundered and killed innocent Mozambican people when they passed through the territory of Mozambique, and also cited some evidence.
As the so-called crime of wanting to add is speechless, Mo Guo insisted that Huan Jun killed the people and robbed the property, and Huan Jun couldn't explain it clearly.
Mo changed his posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and directly participated in the war, firstly, because the envoy Shangguan Yuanwu sent by Tang Yin had arrived in Zhenjiang and met Shao Fang, the king of Mo, and told Shao Fang in detail about the current battle situation, asking him to support Fengguo.
The second is that the fact that the Zhen army had created a plague among the people of Mozambique and their corpses has been widely spread in Mozambique, which has made the Mo people hate the Zhen army to the core, and they also hated the Sichuan army.
The voices of Mozambique's aid are getting louder and louder, especially among the military generals, who believe that what the Zhen army has done in Mozambique is a great shame for Mozambique, and if justice cannot be obtained, what face will Mozambique have in the future Shao Fang was originally advocating to participate in the war, but the ministers of the DPRK and China were opposed, and now he has the support of the generals in the army and the people of the whole country, and he has no worries.
The 400,000 Huan army thus became the scapegoat of the Zhen army, and became the object of Mozambique's anger.
In this battle, Liang Qi can be regarded as seeing the strength of the Tiger Army, 100,000 cavalry, when launching an attack, it really seems to be overwhelming, no need to fight, just 100,000 cavalry charging forward together, it is enough to deter any opponent.
Before the Huan army arrived in the country of wind, it was beaten back to the mainland by the Sanshui army and the tiger army, and the original Ren Da, who still had high hopes for him, was disappointed, and the thing that worried him the most happened, Mo finally stood on the side of the country of wind, and got the support of the country of Mozambique, the military strength of the country of wind doubled, and the hope of victory for his side was minimal.
The whereabouts of Li Cheng's troops are unknown, the plan to encircle Jinyang failed, Jin Zhuo's battle in Gaochuan County was unfavorable, the 400,000 Huan army was defeated and returned to China, and Mozambique's assistance to the Feng State had surfaced.
However, even if Ren Fang is the commander of the whole army, but the battle of the wind is not something he wants to fight, and he can retreat if he wants to, and if he wants to withdraw his troops, he must get the approval of the second prince of Chuan Zhen, Ren is relieved to understand that the two imperial courts thousands of miles away can understand the tightness of the war ahead, and the ministers will only simply look at the data of both sides, and in terms of data, their own side does have an advantage, if they propose to withdraw their troops, they may be labeled as a cowardly enemy.
After careful consideration, Ren Fang wrote a personal letter to Xiao Xuan, the king of Sichuan, in which he did not mention the matter of retiring the army, but only explained in detail the difficulties encountered by his army, especially the supply problem, which had reached a very critical level.
His letter reached Shangjing, and it didn't take long for Xiao Xuan to reply.
Xiao Xuan did not give him clear instructions in the letter, but he delegated great authority to him, which also fully showed his trust in Ren Fang.
Xiao Xuan's letter stated that he would be able to adapt to the situation, and he would be able to make his own decisions about all the big and small things he encountered, without worrying about the opinions of the monarch and the court.
Seeing Xiao Xuan's reply, Ren was relieved and excited, and at the same time, he was completely relieved.
After receiving Xiao Xuan's reply, Ren Fang sent an envoy to Jinyang to invite Tang Yin out of the city to talk.
Ren Fang has made up his mind, even if he wants to withdraw his troops, he must take the biggest advantage of the Wind Country through negotiations.

When the Sichuan Zhen coalition army waved the white flag and came to the city of Jinyang, its entourage shouted loudly to the city, first reported his identity, and proposed to enter the city to see Tang Yin, the king of the wind.
When the soldiers of the wind army in the city heard this, their noses were almost crooked, and their own city was opened as soon as you said it, and their own king was you who could see it if you said that the soldiers with surnames raised their bows and arrows, and they were about to shoot the envoys from outside the city, thanks to the generals who defended the city and arrived in time to stop the soldiers who were about to release arrows, and then asked people to immediately go back to the city to explain the situation to the king
