Chapter 606 After some careful consideration, Tang Yin finally adopted the suggestions of Liang Qi and Ziying, gave up rescuing the An army trapped in Fengyang, and marched westward with all his strength to attack Daxing, the capital of Huan State.
At present, there is almost no central army in Huandu that can be sent to the battlefield to fight a battle, and it is even more incapable of sending troops out to block the advance of the Fengyu coalition army, and only local armies are left in the counties, counties and cities along the way, but where will these scattered local armies be the opponents of the Fengyu coalition army.
Along the way, the Fengyu coalition army destroyed the city and uprooted the village, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and no one could resist its edge.
When the Fengyu coalition army was still a county away from Daxing, Li Xin couldn't sit still in the capital, and led the harem family members and the ministers of the Huan court to escape from the capital in a hurry and went to Lutai, an important town in the south of the Huan Kingdom.
The reason why Li Xin chose to go to Lutai is that Lutai City is large, and there is also a palace in it, which can be used as a temporary capital, and second, Lutai is close to the border of Huanzhen, once the Fengyu coalition army attacks, he can also escape into Zhendi and ask for shelter from the Sichuan army there.
As the monarch, Li Xin ran away with the imperial court, and the fighting spirit of the Huan army who stayed in Daxing and near Daxing can be imagined.
The Fengyu coalition army attacked from the Sanyang Plain to Daxing, which lasted only a month, and did not fight a hard battle during this period.
In the course of a month, the whole battle situation has taken a new turn.
The An army trapped in Fengyang City unexpectedly persevered, and the Sichuan-Huan coalition army commanded by Xue Rong and Pang Xia could not be captured for a long time.
In a month of siege warfare, the Sichuan-Huan coalition army broke through Fengyang's city defense several times, but they were all pushed out by the desperately resisting An army, Fengyang City was still firmly controlled by the An army, and the Sichuan-Huan coalition army was dragged outside Fengyang City.
On the other side of the Anguo battlefield, the Plains Army, the Directly Affiliated Army, and the Hundred Battles Army of the Wind Country and the Lu Chen, Jiang Yang, and Jin Sheng of the Huan Country also launched a series of battles and vicious battles.
In this battle, there was no huge difference in the strength of the two sides, the strength of the Feng army was 500,000, and the strength of the Huan army was more than 600,000, but the combat strength of the two armies was very different.
Although the Huan army is also the main force of the Central Army of Huan State, and there are three major military marquis in command, it is still a big difference compared with the plain army, the directly subordinate army, and the hundred battle army, which are accustomed to fighting and brave and good at fighting.
In addition, in the war in Anguo, the wind army has a great advantage, and there is no difference between fighting in the homeland, and in the battle with the enemy, the wind army has received a lot of funding from the Anguo court, the local government and even the people, especially the plain army and the directly subordinate army, the armament has been uniformly replaced, from top to bottom, the armament of the Anjun army has been used, which makes the combat power of the plain army and the directly subordinate army have been qualitatively improved.
The first contact between the two armies of Fenghuan was the Plains Army, the directly subordinate army and Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's first department planned to take the capital of Anguo directly, and he fought all the way, but he also won successive battles, and he didn't know how many batches of Anjun troops stationed along the road were defeated.
However, when Lu Chen's first department attacked Zimeng Pass in Anguo, it encountered fierce resistance from the Anjun army led by Anguo's general Yan Xi and failed to capture it successfully.
Lu Chen's first department was blocked in Zimeng Pass for five full days, and seeing that the defenders in the pass resisted very strongly, Lu Chen finally reluctantly gave up the strong attack and decided to bypass Zimeng Pass.
As a result, when Lu Chen led the army to retreat, the An army in Zimeng Pass also counterattacked, chasing and beating behind Huan Jun's ass.
Lu Chen was furious, and immediately commanded the whole army, and the rear army became the front army, and fought to the death with the An army.
However, as soon as the Huan army turned around, the An army took the initiative to retreat and did not fight with the Huan army.
When the An army retreated and the Huan army wanted to evacuate again, the An army pursued it again.
The An army did not confront the Huan army head-on, but also dragged the Huan army to prevent it from evacuating, obviously delaying time and dragging Lu Chen's first department near Zimeng Pass.
As one of the four major military marquis of Huan State, Lu Chen is also a famous general who is proficient in military writing and war strategy, of course, he can see the intentions of the An army, but he is helpless against the almost scoundrel tactics of the An army.
Just as Lu Chen was still thinking about how to get rid of the entanglement of the An army, the Plains Army led by Xiao Muqing and the directly subordinate army led by Wu Ying arrived at Zimeng Pass.
The two armies lined up outside Zimeng Pass and launched a frontal decisive battle.
Before the war, Xiao Muqing also specially sent someone to Zimeng Pass to tell the security army in the pass that there was no need to participate in the war.
Although the An army fought quite well in the battle of Zimeng Pass, the lack of confidence in the An army has long been deep-rooted, Xiao Muqing is really afraid that the sudden entry of the An army into the war will help his own side, the more he helps, the more chaotic he becomes, and he is not easy to control the overall situation.
The battle in front of Zimeng Pass was the first one-on-one decisive battle between the main force of the Feng Army and the main force of the Huan Army.
In this battle, the two legions of the Feng Army, with a total strength of 200,000, and the three legions of the Huan Army, excluding the battle losses along the way, the number of soldiers that can be fought is 250,000.
However, after the two sides handed over, the Huan army showed a one-sided defeat, the plain army and the direct army are the two legions with the strongest open combat power among the Fengguo infantry corps, and there are fierce generals like Shangguan Yuanrang and Jiang Fan in the two armies, which greatly improved the morale of the soldiers.
The battle between the two sides only lasted for half a day, and the Huan army began to be unable to support it, and after the front army that took the lead was killed and wounded, the soldiers of the Chinese army were defeated and retreated in formations and corps, and the scene was like the ebb tide of the sea, which could not be stopped.
No matter how strong Lu Chen's ability to command in battle is, he can't control the overall situation at this time.
In this battle, the Huan army was defeated, and in the later stage, even the An army that promised the wind army not to participate in the war could not hold back, and killed Zimeng Pass, and the general Yan Xi personally went into battle and led the An army to follow the wind army to chase and kill the Huan army.
In this great defeat, the Huan army fled for eighty miles, and along the way, there were discarded armor and weapons everywhere, and there were corpses of the Huan army and seriously wounded soldiers everywhere, and the state was so miserable that it was very different from the high-spirited army when it came.
After defeating Lu Chen's first part in just one battle, Yan Xile's mouth was not closed, and after he saw Xiao Muqing and Wuying, he enthusiastically brought them into Zimeng Pass, and thanked him and the Feng Army for their assistance, and praised the Feng Army's combat strength.
This battle was an important battle for Yan Xi to save Anguo from fire and water, but for Xiao Muqing and Wu Ying, this battle was very ordinary, just one of the many battles that the two of them had experienced, and there was not even anything to show off.
After defeating the Huan army, Xiao Muqing and Wuying planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate Lu Chen, but Yan Xi insisted on refusing to let the two of them go, and persuaded them to stay in Zimengguan for a period of time.
Yan Xi repeatedly retained the Feng Army, more or less because he had no bottom in his heart, if there was a Feng Army, the Zimeng Pass he was stationed in would be impregnable, even if there were many enemies, the Wind Army would be able to defeat them.
Xiao Muqing and Wu Ying accepted Yan Xi's suggestion and temporarily stationed at Zimeng Pass.
First of all, the soldiers of the whole army really need time to recuperate, and secondly, and most importantly, the two of them have coveted the armaments of the Angolan army for a long time, and it would be great if they could really get the funding of the Angolan court.
Yan Xi did not break his promise, in the letter to the imperial court, he praised the assistance and combat strength of the Feng Army, and bluntly proposed to Yue Ze that he should vigorously fund the armament of the Feng Army, in order to win over and curry favor with the Feng Army, as long as the Feng Army can unswervingly stand on the side of Anguo, and can fight for Anguo wholeheartedly, then no matter how strong the foreign enemy is, Anguo can also win this battle.
The words of the winner are always the most weighty, and the great victory of Zimengguan in the first battle made Yue Ze also attach great importance to Yan Xi's advice.
After some discussion with the ministers of the DPRK and China, Yue Ze finally agreed to reward 300,000 sets of armor from the Plains Army and the directly subordinate army, of which 200,000 sets were to equip the officers and men of the two armies, and the other 100,000 sets were to be used as military reserves, and if they were damaged, they could be replaced as soon as possible.
Anguo may not have a strong army, but the wealth of national strength is one and two, and sending 300,000 sets of stainless steel armor is worth a lot, Yue Ze didn't even blink an eye, for Anguo, this bit of armament is nothing at all.

Yue Ze's gift can make Xiao Muqing and Wuying excited for two days without sleeping well, with these Anguo armor, I don't know how many soldiers on their side will be spared casualties on the battlefield, and the combat power of the whole army will also be improved.
Anren is very meticulous, when the armor is sent from the town to the wind army, the color of the armor has been painted to the black that the wind army is used to, and even the details such as the head tassel on the helmet have not been ignored, and they have been replaced with red.
It can be said that the armaments funded by Angola are sent over, and the wind army does not need to do any processing, and can be directly worn and equipped with the whole army.
Xiao Muqing and Wuying asked the soldiers of the whole army to change their armor at the first time, and then the whole army began to practice intensively in the barracks.
The leather armor originally worn by the Feng Army was much lighter than the steel armor of Anguo, but now that it has been replaced, it will take some time for the officers and soldiers of the whole army to adapt, and the Plains Army and the directly subordinate army will be stationed with complete peace of mind.
The defeated Lu Chen's first group soon joined the Jin Sheng first and Jiang Yang's first department, and the strength of the Huan army suddenly reached 600,000 people, but the situation was still not optimistic.
Now they have the Plains Army and the Zimeng Pass garrisoned by the direct army in the south, and the Hundred Battles Army in the north, and the Wind Army has sandwiched the Huan Army in the middle from one south and one north, and there is the possibility of attacking from both sides at any time.
Lu Chen, Jin Sheng, and Jiang Yang made a calculation, and felt that with the current situation, whether they were going north, south, or east, it would be a dead end, and the only way to do this was to go west and find an opportunity to return to the Huan country
