Chapter 139 For the tactics of the Feng Army's division of troops, Yuan Tian intends to respond to all changes with the same and not move, even if the Feng Army bypasses Zheng'an and rescues the Plains Army trapped in the Absolute Green Mountain, it is not a big deal, and further south of Jinshi City, Mo has not only gathered a large number of local troops, but the central army of the royal court is also rushing over, and the current situation of the Wind Army wants to continue to advance southward, and the momentum is like ascending to the sky.
Yuan Tian ignored the Huwei army that passed around the city, but Han Zhong was extremely dissatisfied with the inspection sent by Zhenjiang, and repeatedly urged Yuan Tian to send troops to intercept the wind army.
The local army of the four counties, with a total of 300,000 people, how could Shao Fang rest assured that he would be handed over to the commander of the county head of Yuan Tian's place, firstly, he was not at ease with his ability, and secondly, he was also afraid that he would have a heavy army in his hand and plot to rebel or suddenly defect, so Shao Fang specially sent his confidant Han Zhong to come, saying that he was assisting Yuan Tian to resist the enemy, but in fact he was monitoring his actions.
Yuan Tian was not a mediocre person, and he naturally knew the true purpose of Han Zhong's coming, and his attitude towards him was very polite.
After listening to Han Zhong's opinion, Yuan Tian said calmly: "The strategy of dividing the troops of the Feng Army is not simple, if our army sends troops hastily, we will have to fight a head-to-head confrontation with the Feng Army outside the city.
The wind army is famous all over the world for its courage and good fighting, but although our army has 300,000 people, most of them are local armies that have been temporarily assembled from all over the world, and their combat strength is far from that of the wind army, and they are simply unable to compete head-on. ” Han Zhong is Shao Fang's confidant, and he is also the minister who was raised by Shao Fang after he became king, his loyalty to Shao Fang is undoubted, and he is also a scholar, he can be called a talented and rich man, but there is one point, Han Zhong is a civil official, a scholar, let him manage internal affairs, formulate national policies, it is absolutely no problem, but it is a layman to lead the army to fight.
Hearing Yuan Tian say that his 300,000 troops couldn't defeat the more than 100,000 Feng Army, Han Zhong's face immediately sank, and he said coldly: "Why let Lord Yuan be so morale of the Wind Army and destroy the prestige of my own army" Without waiting for Yuan Tian to explain, he continued: "The Wind Country Plain Army has arrived in Jinshi City, but fortunately, it is trapped in the Absolute Green Mountain by the defenders of Jinshi City.
In addition, the Wind Army can also use Jinshi City as a base and continue to move south, threatening our national capital, with unimaginable consequences. ” Yuan Tian Zhengse said: "Lord Han, Jinshi City is just a city, even if it is lost, the impact on our country is not great, besides, the counties south of Jinshi City have gathered a large number of troops, and the central army is also going north to reinforce, and it is impossible for the Feng army to continue to go south."
Han Zhong said: "The Plains Army is the most elite legion in the Wind Country, even the Tiger Ben Army has been lost in the hands of the Plains Army, its combat power can be imagined, no matter what, we must do everything we can now to prevent the Wind Army from aiding the Plains Army, if General Yuan is cowardly, then this official will personally lead the army out of the city and block the Wind Army." ” Alas, Yuan Tian sighed secretly, who is growing the morale of the enemy army, destroying his own majestic plain army After a battle against the Qingshan Mountain, his vitality was greatly injured, even if he was rescued, how could he still have the strength and strength to continue the southern expedition Now he insists on going out of the city to fight with the Feng army, which is tantamount to self-destruction.
He shook his head and said, "Lord Han, now our army must not go out of the city to fight with the Wind Army, and our army does not have the strength to fight with the Wind Army outside the city."
"Hmph" Han Zhong snorted coldly and said, "It seems that Lord Yuan's fear of the Wind Army is deep in his bones, since this is the case, then this official has to doubt whether Lord Yuan still has the ability to command an army of 300,000."
As he spoke, he pulled out a roll of brocade from his cuffs, carefully unfolded it, first arched his hand to the side, and then said: "The king's edict has made it clear in the edict that if Lord Yuan's command is unfavorable, this officer has the right to take over all the affairs of our army, including the right to command."
Yuan Tian's face changed suddenly when he heard this, his eyes drooped, and he looked at the king's edict in Han Zhong's hand, speechless for a long time.
Yuan Tian knew that the purpose of the king sending Han Zhong over was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be so direct and distrustful of himself.
"Why don't Lord Yuan believe that this is the king's edict, you can take it and identify it carefully" Seeing that Yuan Tian didn't speak for a long time, Han Zhong immediately handed the edict to Yuan Tian's face.
This is the king's edict, even if Han Zhong has the courage to do so, he will not dare to fake it.
Yuan Tian knew it very well in his heart.
He subconsciously took two steps back and said in a low voice, "The lower officials don't dare." ” Han Zhong put away his handbook expressionlessly and said, "I'll ask Lord Yuan one last time, do you want to lead the army to stop the wind army?"
Now that Yuan Tian is really out of line, Han Zhong has the king's edict in hand, if he insists on refusing to send troops, I am afraid that he will really forcibly deprive himself of his military rights.
It doesn't matter if he has military power or not, the key is that Han Zhong is only a civil servant, where will he lead the army to fight, and he will lead the army to fight, I am afraid that his own 300,000 troops will be killed by him.
In a desperate situation, Yuan Tian finally turned his heart sideways and bowed his hand and said: "The lower official obeys the order" Han Zhong's face finally showed a smile, nodded, and said, "Without further ado, the soldiers are fast, Lord Yuan will lead the army to meet the enemy now."
Under Han Zhong's strength, Yuan Tian, who didn't want to fight, could only choose to fight helplessly.
However, he did not take all the 300,000 troops out of the city, but left 50,000 soldiers behind and ordered them to escort the people in the city to leave the city and move south.
There was no need to wait for the two sides to start fighting, Yuan Tian already had a premonition that his side would lose this battle, and in order to prevent the red-eyed wind army from slaughtering the city, he felt that it was still necessary to evacuate the people in the city first.
In terms of the wind army, Tang Yin was overjoyed to learn that the Mo army in Zheng'an City took the initiative to go out of the city and tried to block the Huwei army passing around the city, and Gao Teng's tactics of dividing troops really worked wonders.
He didn't make any delays, and immediately sent someone to send an order to the Huwei Army to prepare for the battle, and he himself personally commanded the direct army and rushed in the direction of the Huwei Army.
The combined armies of the two countries exceeded 500,000 and formed formations in the plain area thirty miles west of Zheng'an City, preparing for a frontal battle.
This was the largest battle since the outbreak of the Fengmo War, with both sides having about 250,000 troops, but the composition of the generals was very different.
The Mozambican army is a local coalition army, some people are wearing orthodox Mozambican army armor, while some people are still wearing cloth clothes and trousers, the whole army looks extremely untidy, even the military flag is not unified, the flags of the four counties and thirteen counties are mixed together.
On the other hand, the wind army is all the central army of the wind country, looking at it, the wind army with black helmets and black armor is overwhelming, and the red tassels above the head form a red ocean, even if it is a formation, the wind army looks more imposing than the Mo army, and the soldiers are all holding their heads high and standing straight, whether they look straight, horizontally or obliquely, the arrangement of the soldiers is a straight line.
Tang Yin was in the camp of the Feng Army, sitting on the tall carriage, he squinted in front of him, leaned forward, first looked at the Mo Army camp opposite for a while, and then sneered, and said proudly: "Firefly fire, An dare to compete with the sun and the moon" As he spoke, he ordered: "Summoning Nanye, the whole army of the Huwei Army will advance and attack the enemy from the front."
"It's the king" The herald simply responded, flicked the whip, and urged the horse away, and at the same time, the drums in the wind army camp were loud, and the roar shook the eardrums.
Soon, Nanye received Tang Yin's order, and he urged the horse to come to the front of the whole army, and turned the horse back and forth.
He shouted loudly as he walked: "The front is the main force of the enemy, although there are many troops, but it is a rabble, today is the time for us to make meritorious contributions, this battle, all my tiger and mighty soldiers, will go forward bravely, do not kill the enemy, and do not turn back to kill" "Kill" It is impossible for all the 150,000 soldiers of the whole army to hear the shouts of Nanye, but the soldiers who are standing in the front can still hear it clearly.
Under the command of Nanye, the fifteen corps of the Huwei Army pressed towards the Mo army on the opposite side.
The advance of the 150,000-strong army should not be underestimated, and the Huwei army marched in a uniform pace, and every step forward, there was a roar of shaking the earth and the mountains.
The commanders, adjutant generals, and commanders of each corps rode through the camps, giving orders one after another, constantly controlling the speed of their corps' march and ensuring the neatness of the entire army's overall formation.
There is no need to fight, just look closely at the momentum of the wind army, and the Mo army is a head shorter in morale.
When I didn't see the wind army, the local army of Mozambique still felt that there were many people on their side and didn't pay attention to anything, but now that they are really on the battlefield, they encounter a real enemy army, and a sense of fear arises spontaneously.
For soldiers who have never experienced a major war, this is a very natural physiological reaction, and it is also human nature.
At that time, there was no special training in psychological quality, and the psychological quality of the officers and men was tempered little by little by relying on continuous wars, and this also became a very important reason why the local army was inferior to the central army.
Looking at the wind army that was not fast or slow, and was advancing towards his side in an orderly manner, and then looked at the faces of his soldiers who had turned earth-colored, Yuan Tian couldn't help but sigh, this battle, is there any need to fight again, don't wait for the war to start, the superiority of the two sides has already been seen.
He turned his head to look at Han Zhong beside him, Han Zhong's face was not much better than that of the soldiers below, but his expression was quite calm, and he tried his best to hide it even if there was a look of horror in his eyes.
Yuan Tian took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Lord Han, if our army retreats now, it will be too late."
This sentence seemed to step on Han Zhong's tail, and the latter's eyes suddenly erupted with flames, and he said in a condensed voice: "Shi Junlu, under the king's orders, repay the king's kindness, you and I, as Mo Chen, how can we be greedy for life and fear death at the current moment of the great enemy, even if we are crushed to pieces, we must expel the captives and fight to the death with the wind thieves":
