Chapter 299 The head-on battle between the Huaning army and the coalition army ended in Xu Bufan's serious injuries and the defeat of the Zhen army.
Xiao Muqing was not in a hurry to chase and kill, the enemy had already gotten into the big pocket he had arranged in advance, and he was not afraid that the other party would be able to fly into the sky.
Really.
When Gao Gang was fleeing in the direction of Huaning with the main force of the Zhen army, the front suddenly beat drums, flags were raised, and a crowded coalition army appeared in the middle of the road, blocking the way of the Zhen army.
Gao Gang saw it clearly, secretly screamed badly, and urgently ordered the whole army to rush over with all his strength.
This coalition army, which was responsible for cutting off the retreat of the Zhen army, came prepared, and when the Zhen army entered their range, the whole army released arrows, and the arrow array was like a locust plague, overwhelmingly shooting into the camp of the Zhen army.
In the process of rushing and killing, before the official contact with the coalition forces, the casualties of the Zhen army were extremely heavy.
After the two sides fought together, the first thing the Zhen army encountered was the soldiers of the Plains Army who were at the forefront of the two corps of the coalition army.
This is another bitter battle in the dark.
The coalition army does not seek merit, but seeks no fault, only defends and does not attack, as long as the enemy army is resisted, and the Zhen army is different, there are pursuers who may catch up at any time behind them, and now they can only break through to the outside.
The battle between the two sides was bloody and tragic, and the soldiers on both sides were inseparable, and they could not distinguish the superior for a while, but the charge of the Zhen army had been resisted by the coalition forces to the death.
Gao Oka carefully observed the situation on the battlefield and shook his head secretly, the combat power of this coalition army should not be underestimated, and after the battle, I don't know when I will fight, in case the pursuers behind him arrive, and my own side will be attacked by the enemy, but it will be all over.
Unable to break through the siege in a short time, Takaoka could only change the military order again, and the whole army retreated to the south and ran in the direction of Tongcheng.
In any case, Tongcheng still has more than 100,000 troops on his side, as long as he escapes to Tongcheng, he will be saved.
However, in the net of heaven and earth arranged by Xiao Muqing, how could he be given the opportunity to escape to Tongcheng When the Zhen army was defeated and fled to the south, it had just run twenty miles, and the road ahead was blocked by a coalition army.
The strength of this coalition army is also as high as 70,000 or 80,000 people, and it seems that it has been waiting for the Zhen army for a long time.
Gao Gang saw it, his head buzzed, and at this time he finally reacted that his side had fallen into the tricks of the coalition army, and the coalition forces were intercepting it in the east, south, west, and north directions, and he had fallen into the siege of the coalition army.
So far, less than half of the 150,000 Zhen troops who went out of the city with Xu Bufan have been left, and even the remaining people are mostly injured, panting and exhausted.
Knowing that his own combat strength was insufficient, Takaoka was not willing to sit still, and ordered the whole army to make another charge, no matter what, to break out.
However, this breakthrough of the Zhen army has become the end of the strong crossbow, and the battle with the coalition army has not been long before showing a state of exhaustion, although the full force has attacked several times, but has never been able to break through.
In the face of the encirclement tactics of the coalition army, the Zhen army repeatedly broke through the encirclement, failed repeatedly, and waited until dawn the next day, the Zhen army was tired and exhausted.
On the other hand, on the side of the coalition army, the four armies have converged in one place, forming an iron bucket array, completely surrounding the remnants of the Zhen army.
At this point, the 300,000 army led by Xiao Muqing has basically completed the task, and then, in the hands of the coalition army, which has firmly grasped the initiative of the battle situation, whether it chooses to attack or encircle but not fight, the Zhen army can be killed.
Xiao Muqing sent the battle report back to his own camp and reported to Tang Yin.
At the same time that Tang Yin received Xiao Muqing's good news, he also received another piece of information that Guan Zhan, the chief general of Tongcheng, had led all the defenders of Tongcheng out of the city and came straight to his side.
Seeing these two pieces of information, Tang Yin was worried, he was not afraid that Guan Zhan would call, but according to Xiao Muqing's good news, the location where they besieged the Zhen army was near the road from Tongcheng to Xitang, only fifty miles apart, if Guan Zhan led the army to rush to the rescue, Xiao Muqing's efforts in the early stage would be in vain.
He immediately wrote a reply to Xiao Muqing, asking him to eliminate the trapped Zhen army as soon as possible, and if he really couldn't do it, he also had to come to the shore of the embankment through the city, and make corresponding precautions in advance.
After sending the reply letter away, Tang Yin summoned the generals in the army, selected the commander again, and met the reinforcements of Tongcheng.
Because Xiao Muqing made a good start and lightly defeated the Huaning Army led by Xu Bufan, this made the coalition generals a lot more confident, and they were all eager to try and took the initiative to ask for help.
Now they want to ask for war, but Tang Yin still doesn't trust them, he directly named them and said, "Ziying" Hearing Tang Yin's call, Ziying hurriedly stepped out of the queue and intervened in the salute.
Tang Yin said: "Ziying, I will give you 300,000 soldiers and horses to meet the battle, you can be sure of winning."
"This" Ziying hesitated for a moment, but did not answer immediately.
Guan Zhan is a famous fierce general of Zhenguo, his strength is not under Xu Bufan, the reason why Xiao Muqing was able to take Zhen Jun lightly was because Shangguan Yuanrang injured Xu Bufan, and now the king asked him to meet Guan Zhan, but he did not have a fierce general like Shangguan Yuanrang in his hands, who could restrain Guan Zhan on the battlefield Seeing that Ziying looked a little hesitant, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you think you can't win Guan Zhan?"
Ziying hurriedly replied: "Back to the king, Guan Zhan is known as the head of the fierce generals of Zhenguo, and the subordinates of the last general are probably the opponents of Guan Zhan."
Tang Yin smiled and said, "What is this afraid of" As he spoke, he turned his head and said, "Jiang Fan" "The Last Will Be" "You go on the expedition with General Ziying" "The Last Will Do Duty" Tang Yin's eyes rolled, now is the time to employ people, don't let the fierce generals of the three kingdoms of Yu, An, and Huan be idle.
Thinking of this, he raised his voice again and said, "Where are Shi Xiao, Yanhui, and Zhang Ben?"
I didn't expect Tang Yin to call his name, Shi Xiao, Yan Hui, and Zhang Ben first raised their eyes to look at their respective kings, and saw that the king didn't say anything, so they stepped out and intervened to salute: "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Wind King commands."
"The three of you will go with General Ziying, and when you encounter a battle on the battlefield, you can join forces with General Jiang Fan and work together to take down the enemy generals" As he spoke, he looked at Lingshuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin, and asked with a smile: "Brother Wang and Sister Wang don't mind lending their respective generals, right?"
Tang Yin had already opened his mouth, Lingshuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin were embarrassed to refuse, they all nodded in unison, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang and Brother Wang are transferred, now everyone is a family, so you don't have to be polite." ” "Very good" Tang Yin smiled, looked at Ziying again, and asked: "This time, with the four generals Jiang Fan, Shi Xiao, Yan Hui, and Zhang Ben to help you, you should always have the certainty of victory."
Ziying said: "The king can rest assured, the last general will not disgrace his mission" "En" Tang Yin nodded, and then admonished: "Your speed must be fast, the location of the decisive battle between Mu Qing and the Zhen army is not far from the marching route of the first section of the Guan Zhan, you must arrive before the battle of the pass, and plan for the first section of Mu Qing."
"The End Will Understand" In response to the Tongcheng Army led by Guan Zhan, Tang Yin sent Ziying, Jiang Fan, Shi Xiao, Yan Hui, and Zhang Ben generals to lead 300,000 troops to meet the enemy.
Ziying's tactics are not as complicated as Xiao Muqing's, that is, to meet the enemy head-on and crush the opponent with his own superior forces.
Even in the arrangement of troops, Ziying is diametrically opposed to Xiao Muqing.
When the latter fought with the Zhen army, he put the plain army under his command in front, while Ke Ziying reversed, putting the armies of the three kingdoms of Yu, An, and Huan in front and leaving his own Sky Eagle army behind.
He thought about it very clearly, since the king made himself the commander, if he didn't take care of his own soldiers, it would be too unwilling, and it would also waste the king's hard work.

If you want to fight with the Zhen army, let the three armies of Yu, An, and Huan fight, and your own soldiers are only responsible for the beginning and the end.
It can also be seen from the arrangement of Xiao Muqing and Ziying's personalities, the former is fierce and likes to go straight, while the latter is scheming and much more insidious and cunning in comparison.
Ziying led the army and hurried slowly, but still failed to arrive at the location of the decisive battle between Xiao Muqing and the Zhen army in front of the Guan Zhan.
However, to everyone's surprise, Guan Zhan ignored Xu Bufan, who was close at hand, and directly led the army over and passed by him.
Even if the news of Guan Zhan is not well-informed, he should be aware of it so close to the decisive battle between the coalition army and the Zhen army, and the reason why he did not go to the aid is, of course, he has his own plans.
First of all, he and Xu Bufan have always been at odds, let him save Xu Bufan's danger, he is unwilling in his heart, and secondly, using Xu Bufan's remnants to hold down the 300,000 coalition army is not a good thing for him, at least when he leads the army to Xitang to fight with the coalition army, the opponent's strength can be much less, and he can be more sure of victory, in addition, if he goes to aid Xu Bufan at this time, and really repels the coalition army, then the credit for this battle should be credited to whose head is Xu Bufan's meritorious service or his meritorious service.
In the future, when we talk about meritorious deeds, it will not be clear.
Out of consideration in these aspects, Guan Zhan turned a blind eye to Xu Bufan, who was in a precarious situation.
When the Tongcheng Army was only a hundred miles away from Xitang, it happened to collide with the oncoming Ziying.
The two sides met on a narrow road, and no one could avoid it, and they each lined up in battle formations and prepared for battle.
Seeing the large number of coalition troops on the opposite side, Guan Zhan was quite worried at first, but after a closer look, the opposite side was under the banner of the Huan army, and Guan Zhan's fighting spirit was immediately stimulated.
The six-nation alliance that crusaded against Zhenguo, Zhenren had two most ruthless countries, one was Sichuan, and the other was Huan.
When Zhenguo gained power, Huan Guo looked at Zhenguo with a positive attitude, and he was completely a vassal country, and now that Zhenguo has lost power, it is Huan Guo who retaliates the most against Zhenguo.
Such a capricious, two-faced snob, how can the honest not hate:
