Chapter 284 It turns out that this is what the Wind King meant.
The generals nodded one after another, feeling that Tang Yin's analysis was reasonable, since the other party took the initiative to send it to the door, this cheap party did not take advantage of it.
According to Tang Yin's meaning, the head of the Longding Fortress was replaced with the banner of Zhenguo, and the armies of the four countries of Feng, Yu, An, and Huan were all withdrawn, and all the soldiers and generals standing guard on the city wall were all Zhenguo.
In fact, as Tang Yin expected, the Zhen army that came was indeed reinforcements, and he didn't know that the Longding Fortress had changed hands, first, this battle was fought too fast, and second, and the most critical point, the coalition army was completely annihilated by the defenders, and no one was let go, which made the news of the loss of the Longding Fortress completely blocked.
The coalition army did not use large siege weapons when attacking, the fortress defense was not destroyed at all, the city walls were full of chastity flags, and the soldiers standing guard were also chaste soldiers.
If it was daytime, the reinforcements might have seen blood stains that would have been washed away in the future, but it was late at night, and even if torches were lit, the visibility was extremely limited.
After all the reinforcements of Zhenguo entered the fortress and the city gate was closed by the coalition army, suddenly, the reinforcements shouted and killed, and the ambush appeared, and when they looked up, the lamp ball torches, the bright pine pine, illuminated the fortress as bright as day, and suddenly appeared in a sea of coalition soldiers, overwhelming, and surrounded the reinforcements of these 3,000 people in three layers and three layers outside, and the water could not be passed.
The reinforcements didn't understand what was going on at all, and their faces were full of surprise and dazedness, and they looked completely at a loss in the face of the coalition forces that suddenly came out of the area around them.
There was no fighting, and there was no need to fight again in the current situation, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, if they really started, the coalition army of nearly 100,000 people would be able to trample these 3,000 reinforcements into meatloaf in just one walk.
Under the kind words and persuasion of the soldiers of the Zhen Army in the coalition army, the 3,000 reinforcements did not make unnecessary resistance, and finally put down their weapons and surrendered.
The submission of this support army was only a trivial episode, but it made Tang Yin keenly aware of the opportunity.
Since this reinforcement has no idea about the loss of the Dragontop Fortress, will there be more reinforcements on the way?
Catching turtles in the urn concocted by their own side in the same way and capturing as many Zhen troops as possible will also cause huge consumption to the overall military strength of Longhu County.
Thinking about this, he immediately ordered Lotte and Ai Jia to send a message to the main force of the coalition forces behind, telling them to temporarily stay in place and not enter Longhu County, so as to attract more reinforcements to gather at Longding Fortress.
Tang Yin's strategy worked wonders, and during the two days that the coalition army was stationed in Longding Fortress, five waves of reinforcements were ushered in before and after, ranging from thousands to hundreds, adding up to nearly 20,000.
It wasn't until the third day that the news of the loss of the fortress spread in Longhu County.
Seeing that there was no longer a coalition army to throw themselves into the net, Tang Yin let the main force of the coalition army enter Longhu County, and set aside a part of the troops to garrison Longding Fortress to take care of the prisoners, while the main army continued to the west, near Xitang, the capital of Zhenguo.
At present, Longhu County, two of the three counties in the territory have basically become empty counties, and all the troops are concentrated in Xinyu County.
The westward advance of the coalition forces was very smooth, and it took only four days to approach Xinyu County.
This is the last line of defense in Xitang, and the number of troops gathered in the county has exceeded 300,000.
The army of more than 300,000 was scattered in Huaning and Tongcheng.
Huaning is located in the northeast of Xitang, Tongcheng is located in the southeast of Xitang, these two cities are like two horns grown out of Xitang, if the coalition forces ignore these two cities, and take Xitang directly, Zhenguo can attack from three sides and besiege the coalition army.
Therefore, even if Xitang was close at this time, the coalition forces could only fight steadily and steadily, and they wanted to take down the two cities of Huaning and Tongcheng first.
On how to attack Huaning and Tongcheng, the monarchs of the four countries and the generals of the five countries gathered together to discuss the next tactics and strategies.
Li Xin was the first to express his position and said: "Our army has millions of people, and according to the information we have obtained, the strength of Huaning and Tongcheng has not exceeded 200,000. ” He said with confidence and confidence, and now the coalition forces do have such strength.
Tang Yin smiled indifferently and asked, "How do you divide the soldiers into two roads, and who is the one with whom?"
The tactics Li Xin said were not something he came up with by himself, but the result of prior discussions with his subordinate generals.
Hearing Tang Yin's question, he said calmly and unhurriedly: "Among our five-way army, the Feng Army and the Zhen Army brothers are recognized as the strongest in battle.
I think that the Feng Army and the Jade Army are still one way, and the three armies of An, Huan, and Zhen are all the way, the former takes Huaning, and the latter takes Tongcheng. ” Tang Yin didn't answer immediately, lowered his head, looked at the map intently, and his fingers were still drawing on it a few times from time to time.
Although the Feng and Jade armies have fewer troops on this road, the strength of Huaning attacked is also weaker than that of Tongcheng, and Li Xin's distribution is obviously well thought out, has a certain reason, and is also a feasible tactic.
He thought it was feasible, but the generals of the Zhen army below were in a hurry.
Others may not know the strength of An Huan's two armies, but they know it well, and they have fought with them before, the soldiers of these two armies are all in vain, but they are actually vulnerable, and they are in the company of them, not only to be used as swords by others, but also to be dragged down by them.
It's a pity that there is no monarch on the Zhenjun side to speak for them, so they can only fight for it themselves.
Kong Qing took a deep breath and was about to speak out against it, when Xiao Muqing, the commander of the Plains Army of the Feng Army, preemptively said: "The absolute superiority of the troops, but the troops have to be divided into two roads, to divide Huaning and Tongcheng, from the point of view of the last general, this is asking for trouble."
Don't look at Li Xin's heroic appearance, but his heart is not broad-minded, listening to Xiao Muqing's ruthless opposition to his tactics, his face immediately sank, sneered, and asked in a strange manner: "Oh, so General Xiao has a better strategy to break the enemy."
In Xiao Muqing's eyes, except for Tang Yin, he has never been able to tolerate others, even if Li Xin is the king of a country, but in his opinion, he is just an ordinary man who is difficult to become an ordinary man.
He smiled slightly, and said: "Instead of dividing the army, it is better to work together to specialize in one city, whether it is to defeat Huaning or Tongcheng, and then you can directly take Xitang, of course, this is just a false move, its purpose is to lure the Zhen army of another city to come to the rescue, as long as they go out of the city, I can immediately kill it back and annihilate it outside the city."
Tang Yin nodded loudly as he listened, feeling that Xiao Muqing's strategy was much more secure than Li Xin's.
Fight a city together, with the strength of your own million-strong army, whether it is to fight Huaning or open the city, you can easily take it, and if you divide your troops to capture these two cities, I am afraid that the battle may not be easy.
Li Xin asked unconvinced: "What if the other city doesn't send troops to rescue?"
Xiao Muqing smiled and said, "If that's the case, it's even simpler, we can turn the virtual attack into a real fight, and take the West Tang in one go."
"But" Li Xin still wanted to argue, at this time, Yue Ze also heard that Xiao Muqing's tactics were more feasible, he waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Li Wang, we are the monarch, and trivial matters such as arranging troops and marching to fight will be handed over to the generals to deal with, why do you have to meddle in it?"
"Yes" Lingshuang also persuaded in a low voice beside him: "Brother Yue Wang is right, we can't argue with these generals who can fight in battle."
Yue Ze and Lingshuang's persuasion gave Li Xin a step to step down, he shrugged his shoulders pretending to be nonchalant and said, "Brother Wang and Sister Wang are right.
As he spoke, he looked at Tang Yin again and asked, "What does Brother Tang mean?"

Tang Yin replied casually: "Just follow Mu Qing's tactics, our army will take Huaning first, and then march to Xitang, if the Zhen army in Tongcheng rescues, we will come back to the horse gun, if not, we will take Xitang by chance."
"Okay, since Brother Tang also agrees, then it's decided."
Li Xin nodded.
"One more thing."
Yue Ze opened his mouth and said: "Everyone has heard of it, the second army of Chuan Mo has broken the Zhen army in Shima County, and now it is also marching to Xitang."
"Hmph" Li Xin sneered and said, "I heard that if it weren't for Chuan Mo transferring the 400,000 reserve troops stationed in Anguo to Zhenguo, how could they have broken the Zhenjun?"
The battle between the Sichuan-Mo coalition army and the Zhenguo Central Army in Shima County was extremely fierce, and the two sides were originally 400,000 against 400,000, but with the addition of the Zhenguo local army, the situation of the two sides was evenly matched, and the balance of victory began to tilt in favor of the Zhenjun army.
In desperation, the Sichuan-Mo coalition forces had no choice but to urgently transfer their respective 200,000 reserve troops to alleviate the current precarious situation.
With the participation of a total of 400,000 reserve troops in Sichuan and Mo, the combined forces of Sichuan and Mo have an overwhelming advantage.
The two sides began a face-to-face battle with the Legion in Shima County.
In this battle, the two sides fought and rested, and fought fiercely for five days, and finally ended with the defeat of the Zhen army and the complete victory of the Sichuan-Mo coalition army.
The battle was so tragic and so large in scale that the number of casualties on both sides alone exceeded 400,000.
The entire battlefield stretched for dozens of miles, with corpses piled up and rivers of blood.
During the war, even Tian Huaiyu, the commander of the Zhenguo Central Army, died tragically in the chaotic battle.
After this battle, the 400,000 Zhenguo Central Army and the 200,000 local army led by Tian Huaiyu collapsed on the whole line, suffering heavy casualties, while the Sichuan-Mo coalition army took the momentum of thunder and captured the entire territory of Shima County while chasing and killing the Zhen army.
In the next westward advance, the Zhen army, which was greatly injured, could no longer organize an effective blockade, and was chased and beaten by the Sichuan-Mo coalition army
