Chapter 534 The sharp decline in the number of the Anguo Central Army is certainly related to the fiasco of the first battle of Tiantu County, and the large number of deserters is also one of the main reasons.
Angola has a strong national strength but a weak military, which has almost become the tradition of Angola and the consensus of the world.
The reason why this is the case is also related to the geographical location of Anguo, it is located in the central and eastern part of the entire Haotian Empire, bordering the imperial capital Shangjing, it can be said that the southeast and northwest are not adjacent to foreign states, and have never been threatened by foreign force, and the people's life is comfortable and peaceful, plus its location is in the center, extending in all directions, which is very suitable for business.
After thousands of years of inheritance, the An people have the xg of a businessman, very able to endure hardships, people are also willing to go out, do not care about the four seasons of the year, but at the same time self-interested, cowardly, weak national concept, as far as the countries at that time, the cohesion of the An people is the weakest.
In fact, this is also very easy to understand, there are many businessmen in Anguo, and they are adrift all the year round, and the concept of home is already very light, if a person has no home in his heart, how can he talk about a country In Angola, conscription was already an extremely difficult matter, but now that the war ahead is unfavorable, with more than 200,000 casualties at once, it is only natural that the large-scale appearance of deserters will become a natural thing.
As the so-called disaster is not a single line, the invading Huan army has already panicked the whole country, it is better how to deal with it, and at this time, the Sichuan army also invaded the country from the south, which is a huge difference from the assumption of the country of Feng.
According to the Wind Country's understanding of the Sichuan Country, the Sichuan Country will not easily move its troops, and will not make a move until the last moment, but this time it is unusual, and when its allies are fully superior and the Wind Country has not yet participated in the war, it resolutely sends troops to attack the security realm.
As to whether or not to send troops now, Sichuan actually has great disagreements.
Most of the nobles in Sichuan were opposed to joining the war so early, first, the current situation was not completely clear, and it was not good for them to rush into the war and violently attack their own intentions; Second, and most crucially, these nobles believed that the Sichuan Kingdom was not ready to fight a large-scale war now, and that if they wanted to participate in the war, they should wait until after the autumn harvest and the grain and grass were abundant enough.
However, the young Zhuang nobles of the Sichuan State were of the same caliber, and they all agreed that the country should immediately enter the war. 15 Their reasons are also very sufficient, no matter the current situation is clear, even if the Huan army is already at a comprehensive disadvantage, then can they still ignore it Since sooner or later they have to send troops, why do they have to drag it out to the end so passively?
If Anguo is finally defeated by Huan Guo's family, and you haven't sent a single soldier, what kind of face do you have to ask Huan Guo for Anguo's territory, I'm afraid that people won't even give you a county or a city.
Here they can be regarded as an emerging force in Sichuan, more ambitious, more enthusiastic, and more loving than those old nobles in Sichuan.
The power of the old nobles is deeply rooted in Sichuan, sometimes even Xiao Xuan, the king of Sichuan, can't do anything about them, this time he intends to use the Shaozhuang nobles to suppress those high-powered old nobles, and promote the Shaozhuang faction, so that the power of the court will not be in the hands of those old nobles, in addition, he himself also agrees with the ideas of the Shaozhuang nobles, so Xiao Xuan finally overrode the public opinion, accepted the proposal of the Shaozhuang faction, and immediately sent troops to Anguo, and formed a north-south attack with the Huan army, and put pressure on the capital of Anguo.
If the combat effectiveness of the Huan army is one, then the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army is equivalent to one hundred, and the combat effectiveness of Anguo is undoubtedly minus one hundred.
With the large-scale offensive of the Sichuan army, the southern part of Anguo suddenly fell into the brink of collapse, a large number of Anguo troops fled without a fight, and the speed of their escape was faster than that of the people fleeing the famine.
The situation of the war took a turn for the worse, and the original plan of the Wind Country to sit and watch the changes could not be carried out, and as the emergency document of Anguo reached Tang Yin like snowflakes, he convened the generals overnight to urgently discuss his own strategy and tactics.
The unusualness of the Sichuan Kingdom surprised the generals of the Wind Country, especially Nie Ze, who judged that the Sichuan Kingdom would not enter the war quickly, but in fact, it was the opposite of his inference.
The camp of the wind army, inside the tent of the middle army.
At this time, Tang Yin had not yet arrived, and the generals of the Wind Country knelt on both sides, discussing each other, and they were all not optimistic about the war in front of them.
The Huan army has invested 400,000 troops at present, and it is reported that the strength of the Sichuan State to invade the southern part of the country is also higher than 400,000, just after the war, the total strength of the two countries is close to one million, and so many enemy troops, the An army can hardly be counted on, and can only rely on the strength of the Wind Country to deal with it, and the difficulty of this battle can be imagined.
Even Jiang Fan, who usually doesn't like to talk much in military meetings, couldn't help but ask Xiao Muqing at this time, "General Xiao, how should our army fight with the two armies of Sichuan and Huan now?"
Hearing his question, the others stopped talking one after another, and their eyes invariably focused on Xiao Muqing.
If you want to say who can be the first handsome of the famous marshals of the Wind Country, then Xiao Muqing is naturally the best to do, and his opinions and analysis are also extremely important to others.
Xiao Muqing sank solemnly for a long time, then stretched out two fingers, and said, "We must do two things, first, ask for help from country Y, and ask country Y to send reinforcements, and second, break into Chizhou County, solve the danger of Bai Qing's being trapped, and take over the 200,000 Anjun army, which is commanded by our country, only by doing these two points can we temporarily stabilize the situation in the north of Anguo, as for the south, we have to rely on Anguo itself, we are far from quenching our thirst, and we can't reach it."
After listening to Xiao Muqing's analysis, everyone present nodded their heads, feeling that what he said was reasonable.
Shangguan "That's right," Wuying continued, "Even if you really give us the 200,000 An Army, the An Army is still an Army, and if you can't help our army, it will only drag down our army and become a burden." ” "I really don't know how the Anren fought this battle, the whole country is so rich, even the weapons used by the soldiers below are made of JG steel, and the armor is even stronger and more beautiful, which is coveted, but as soon as it goes to the battlefield, the whole army seems to have become wooden people, slaughtered by others, without the power to fight back, and the alliance with Anguo, my country is really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes" Shangguan Yuan let the more he spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end, he also hammered down the ground heavily, making a muffled sound.
"It is precisely because of Anguo's weak combat strength that we have to form an alliance with it, and this is exactly the reason why bitter first and then sweet" With the words, Tang Yin strode in from outside the tent of the Chinese army, and at the same time untied the rope buckle around his neck, shook off the outer skull, and threw it to Ah San behind him.
When the "king" saw Tang Yin arrive, everyone immediately shut up, straightened their bodies, knelt on the ground, and bowed to salute.
Later, seeing that Yin Rou also followed, everyone saluted again and said in unison, "Your Royal Highness Princess." ” Tang Yin pulled Yin Rou and sat in the center, then he beckoned to Ah Si, took a thick pile of papers, threw them on the handsome case, and said in a deep voice with an expressionless face, "Anwang Yue Ze is now like an ant on a hot pot, within one day, twelve books will be issued in a row, you can all talk about it, next, whether our army is fighting, or not fighting, if it is fighting, what kind of tactics." ” "King, now we have to fight, judging from the current war situation, if our army does not participate in the war, within three months, the capital of Anguo Yuzhen will have to be broken by the Sichuan-Huan coalition army," Xiao Muqing took the lead and said.
"Three months Mu Qing, you overestimate Anguo, if it can last for a month, my head can be taken down and given to you."
Shangguan Yuanrang scoffed at the combat power of the An army, and he felt that even if a group of rabble bandits gathered together, the combat power would not be worse than that of the An army.
"Yes" Tang Yin nodded and said, "If our army does not participate in the war, the Angolan army will be defeated very quickly" paused for a moment, and said, "Since everyone thinks that we should join the war, then how should we fight?"
Wu Ying hurriedly said, "General Xiao has already analyzed just now, on the one hand, our army wants to rescue country Y and let country Y send troops to help, and on the other hand, we want to rescue the An army from Meicheng and temporarily take over by us." ” Tang Yin nodded while listening, feeling that Xiao Muqing's opinion was still good, pulling up country Y, this is a must be done, and rescuing the 200,000 An army is also his top priority.
Without waiting for him to speak, Nie Ze, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Our army also divided its troops and sent a legion to enter the territory of Tiantu County in Anguo and wipe out the Huan army that captured it.
Otherwise, if this Huan army is allowed all the way south and goes straight to the hinterland of Anguo, it will stir up the situation in Angola even more. ” "Makes sense."
Tang Yin nodded his head Nie Ze said, "The Huan army does not have many troops to besiege Meicheng, the king only needs to send the plain army, which is enough to relieve the siege, and the Huan army that invaded Tiantu County is the main force of the enemy, and Weichen wants to lead a hundred battle troops to fight to the death."
His words may not sound like much to others, but Xiao Muqing feels harsh.
The siege of Meicheng is only a small force of the Huan army, and it wants to let its Plains Army fight, but the main force of the enemy army wants to fight the Hundred Battles Army, which is not an obvious saying that the Plains Army is not as good as his Hundred Battles Army:
