Chapter 251 Seeing that Yue Ze and Li Xin were suspicious, Lu Yi reacted smartly and hurriedly said: "The king of my family has always admired the two kings, and when the king sent the villain to escort the prisoners, he also specially explained to the villain, and he wanted to remind the two kings to send the supplies of the two armies of Fengyu in time. ” He said this very skillfully, and did not explain why Tang Yin sent the prisoners of the Zhen Army to Yue Ze and Li Xin, but the implication was that Tang Yin deliberately curryed favor with the two of them in order to get the supplies of the Fengyu Coalition Army in time, and specially sent the prisoners.
After hearing this, Yue Ze and Li Xin glanced at each other, smiled knowingly, and at the same time dispelled the doubts in their hearts.
Li Xin said with a smile: "After Mr.
Lu Yi goes back, please tell Brother Tang Wang, we are all brothers in the alliance, regardless of each other, the supply of the two armies of Fengyu and I, Brother Yue Wang and I will never delay, and it will be delivered in a few days." ” After hearing this, Lu Yi showed a relieved expression, and bowed to the two of them with a smile on his face, and said: "Thank you to King An and King Huan, the villain will definitely bring the message of the two highnesses to the king, and the king will be very happy." ” "Haha" Li Xin laughed on his back, and at the same time waved his hand to Lu Yi, signaling that he could leave.
Who said that there is no benefit to doing logistics, isn't Tang Yin afraid that he would slow down the supply of the Fengyu Coalition Army, and specially sent 10,000 prisoners of the Zhen Army to curry favor After Lu Yi left, Li Xin smiled at Yue Ze and said: "Brother Yue Wang, now we have to study how we led the army to annihilate this more than 10,000 enemy army, and by the way, I will pass on a good news to Brother Xiao Wang."
Yue Ze also laughed heartily, his own soldiers were bloodless, and the heads of the Wan Zhen Army were recorded, such a good thing is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As Tang Yin expected, sending the Zhenjun captives to Yue Ze and Li Xin was tantamount to pushing these captives through the Ghost Gate.
In order to make meritorious service and to make themselves look good on the face, the Anhuan coalition army in charge of logistics was not polite to the prisoners of the Zhen army, and they were killed.
However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the Anhuan coalition army can achieve the same caliber up and down, but Tang Yin's side has quietly released the wind, indicating that the Zhen soldiers killed by the Anhuan coalition army are all Zhen soldiers and Zhen generals captured in the battle of customs clearance.
Let's say that the Fengyu coalition army, after clearing the customs, continued to advance westward, and went straight to Juan, the county seat of Canglin County, Zhizhen State.
It stands to reason that when the Fengyu coalition army hits Juan, the Sichuan-Mo coalition army will also arrive, and the two coalition armies should go hand in hand.
However, the speed of the Fengyu coalition army was too fast, and the Sichuan-Mo coalition army that attacked Jingguan on the other side was not so smooth, and the two armies attacked Jingguan for two days before they knocked down Jingguan, and the losses were not small, and they needed to rest, which delayed the westward advance of the Sichuan-Mo coalition army for a lot of time.
Since the Sichuan-Mo coalition had not yet followed, the task of attacking Juan fell to the Fengyu coalition army.
In the cooperation between the two armies, the generals of the Jade Army have seen the strength of the Wind Army's ability to detect, and almost every move in Zhenguo's country is in the intelligence network of the Wind Army, and the reports from all walks of life are constantly transmitted back like a marquee, which makes the Fengyu Coalition Army know everything about Zhenguo's preparations.
At present, Zhenguo has urgently assembled a central army of more than one million in Xitang, and Gu Anmin, the general of Zhenguo, has led 400,000 central troops as the front army and is marching in the direction of Canglin.
It can be seen that Zhenguo is planning to fight to the death with the Six-Nation Alliance in Canglin County without giving an inch.
In this case, whether the Fengyu Coalition can take the county town Juan before the main force of the Zhenguo Central Army arrives has become crucial, and it is also directly related to whether the Six-Nation Coalition can take the initiative in the future engagement.
Juan is the county seat of Canglin, and it is also the largest city in the county, the location is not precipitous, the surrounding horses and rivers are flat, all are plains, suitable for the attacking side to carry out the offensive, but Juan's city defense is very strong, there is a moat on the periphery, the city wall is three feet high, and the defenders in the city are more than 50,000.
The military configuration of Zhenguo is different from that of other countries, the division between the central army and the local army is very vague, not as clear as other countries, it can be said that the local army of Zhenguo is pulled to the capital, and the general of the court is under unified command, that is, the central army, and after the war, the central army is dispersed to the locality, either turning back into the local army, or changing into ordinary people, and the armament of the local army and the central army is exactly the same, and its combat power is also quite equal.
Although Juan's garrison was only 50,000, it could not be regarded as an ordinary local army, to be precise, it was the central army of Zhenguo.
Guan Tai, the county head of Canglin County, also knew that General Gu Anmin was personally leading an army of 400,000 to come, and his purpose was very clear, that is, to defend Juan to the death, as long as the reinforcements arrived, his task would be completed, and then the imperial court would go to contend with the Six-Nation Alliance.
Under the idea of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, Guan Tai used all his strength to consolidate and strengthen the city defense of Juan City again and again, and strive to be foolproof.
After the Fengyu coalition army arrived outside the city of Juan, they set up camp, and Tang Yin and Lingshuang discussed and decided to make a feint attack first to explore Juan's reality.
The two armies repeated their old tricks, and once again sent Shangguan Yuanrang and Shi Xiao, two generals, to the two armies to fight the enemy and scold the formation, and provoke the Zhen general in the city to go out of the city for a battle.
The fiasco of customs clearance is still vivid, where does Guan Tai dare to send generals to fight again, no matter how Shangguan Yuanrang and Shi Xiao outside the city scold, the Zhen army in the city is pretending to be deaf and dumb, and there is no one to answer.
The other party refused to fight, and Shangguan Yuanrang and Shi Xiao had no choice, so they scolded for a while, and finally returned to their camp in a huff.
The enemy did not go to war, and the Fengyu coalition army carried out a feint attack as planned.
When there was no war, the city of Juan was unusually quiet, and there was no sound in the city, like a dead city, but once the war began, the city of Juan became like a hedgehog in an instant, arrows rained down on the city's head, and the stone throwers in the city were launched again and again, and large and small stone bullets fell like hail from the sky.
Under the frantic counterattack of the defenders in the city, the feint of the Fengyu coalition army retreated hastily.
The generals of Tang Yin, Lingshuang and Fengyu returned to the Chinese military tent together, and people's faces showed solemn expressions.
After a feint, it can be seen that Juan's city defense has been very perfect, well prepared, and has a strong fighting spirit, if the Fengyu coalition army forcibly attacks, of course, there is also the possibility of defeat, but the casualties on his side will definitely not be small.
If you take Juan now regardless of casualties, wait until a few days later, when the main force of the Zhenguo Central Army arrives, how can the Fengyu coalition army fight with others These practical problems are what the generals of the two armies have to consider.
Tang Yin looked at the generals of the two armies, everyone was silent, and he asked: "Lotte, are there only 50,000 defenders in Juan City?"
"Yes, the king," Lotte replied, "This is the information that our side probed when Juan had not yet sealed the city, and then there was no large number of Zhen troops entering Juan, so presumably the strength of the city has not changed." ” Tang Yin nodded thoughtfully, rolled his eyes, and did not speak again.
Xiao Muqing said: "King, it is not a wise move to storm Juan, who is ready and the city is strong, even if there are only 50,000 defenders in the city, if we fight hard, I am afraid, we will also suffer heavy losses." ” Ziying continued: "Instead of attacking and trying to increase casualties, it is better to sit and wait, wait for the Sichuan-Mo coalition army to catch up, and wait for the main force of the central army of Zhenguo to arrive in Canglin. ” The generals present nodded one after another, the left and right are hard battles, if you want to fight, you will fight the key, as long as you can thwart the main force of Zhenguo's Central Army, then Juan is a lonely city, and there is no need to storm it at that time, and it can be trapped to death.
Tang Yin felt that although what Ziying said was a way, it was not the best policy.
He said: "There are still 600,000 troops behind the 400,000 central army of Zhenguo, even if we defeat all these million troops, the court of Zhenguo can still form another army of one million, as long as the adult men of Zhenguo put on armor, they can go into battle to kill the enemy, and consume it, when is it a head, I am afraid that it will be fought to the end, the adult men of Zhenguo are dead, but the six countries of our country are all dragged down, the longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it is for us, this war, we must have a quick victory, or go west to fight to Xitang in one breath, Either it is better to withdraw troops and not do unnecessary attrition. ” Ziying sighed, arched her hand and said: "What the king said is extremely true, it's just" It's useless for the king to see this clearly, the six countries are not united, they all want to preserve their strength, they all want to be opportunistic, and enjoy the fruits of victory, how can the westward advance be smooth Lingshuang also agreed with Tang Yin's words very much, Zhenguo's all-people military system is too strong, even if the national strength of Sichuan is hundreds of times stronger than Zhenguo, in the frontal battlefield, the Sichuan army may not be able to defeat Zhenjun.
She asked in a low voice, "Brother Wang means that we are going to take down Juan before the central army of Zhenguo arrives" "That's right, not only to defeat Juan, but also to push the battlefield to the west as much as possible, the more land we occupy, the less population Zhenguo controls, and the more limited the troops we collect, this is our only chance of winning."
Tang Yin said with squinted eyes.
"What Brother Wang said makes sense."
Lingshuang thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Since that's the case, we'll storm Juan" Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Tang Yin was happy, waved his hand and said: "You have to outwit Juan to fight Juan, and attacking is the next strategy." ” "What does Brother Wang mean?"
Tang Yin didn't answer, raised his eyes and looked at Lotte again, and asked, "The defenders in Juan City should all be local troops."
Lotte replied: "Returning to the king, Zhenguo has no distinction between the central army and the local army, and even the local military and military combat strength is not weaker than the central army of the imperial court."
Tang Yin shook his head and said, "What I asked about was not their combat strength, but their origin and origin. ” Lotte was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "The Juan garrison is all locals of Canglin County, some of their families are in Juan, and some of them live in other villages and towns. ” "En" Tang Yin rubbed his chin and muttered, "If that's the case, things will be easy." ”:
