Chapter 609 The crowd tactics of the Huan army failed to play a role in Xihuan Pass.
First of all, the terrain of Xihuan Pass is precipitous, located between the valleys, both sides are cliffs, the Huan army can only attack one city wall when attacking the city, can not do the siege on all sides, no matter how many troops there are, it is useless to exert it in front of Xihuan Pass.
Secondly, the participation of the Plains Army in the defense made the Xihuan Pass impregnable, equipped with the steel armor provided by Angola, the defense of the Plains Army has been comprehensively improved, and it is more difficult to be killed by the enemy in offensive and defensive battles, while their counterattacks can cause maximum damage to the enemy.
The 600,000 Huan army commanded by Lu Chen, Jin Sheng, and Jiang Yang attacked in front of Xihuan Pass for three days and three nights, but they have not been able to tear through the defenders' defense line.
The siege battle was blocked, which was already very unfavorable to the Huan army, but the disaster was not a single line, the hundred battle army and the direct army of the wind country and Yan Xi of the country of Anguo seemed to fall from the sky, suddenly appeared in Kongsang Mountain, and with lightning speed recaptured the previous Huan army captured and sealed the pass and Zhongqu Pass, so that the Huan army was trapped in the mountain road between Zhongqu Pass and Xihuan Pass for more than 30 miles.
The way out and retreat of the Huan army were blocked by the Feng and An armies, and they became a turtle in the urn, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and they suddenly fell into a precarious predicament.
Lu Chen, Jin Sheng, Jiang Yang The three military marquis obviously did not expect such a situation, and they were a little panicked for a while, until this time, they figured out that they were deceived, the enemy had already calculated that they were going to break through on the south road of Kongsang Mountain, and they had done an ambush in advance, and the easy loss of the pass and Zhongqu Pass was the enemy's intention, and it was a plan to lead the enemy deeper, but their own side was just carried away by the victory in front of them, and rushed to go deeper, which led to today's predicament.
Now it's too late for them to figure out all this, hundreds of thousands of troops are trapped in the Kongsang Mountain, they can't advance, they can't retreat, and the worst thing is that they don't have much grain and grass with them, how can this be good The three people of Lu, Jin, and Jiang, who were in a state of confusion, hurriedly ordered the whole army to break through on both sides, continue to storm Xihuan Pass one way, and turn back on the other side to counterattack Zhongqu Pass.
When the Huan army went deeper, Zhongqu Pass was very easy to fight, and it only took three hours before and after to take Zhongqu Pass, and now they wanted to counterattack back, but they were attacked head-on by the defenders.
The pass in Kongsang Mountain is strong in the west and weak in the east, and it is extremely difficult to fight from west to east, and at this time, the main army of the Hundred Battles Army, the directly subordinate army and Yan Xi is stationed at Zhongqu Pass, and the Huan Army, which is not assisted by any large weapons, wants to defeat Zhongqu Pass, which is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
The offensive of the Huan army began in the morning and continued to fight until the evening, and the soldiers did not even touch the edge of the city.
After a day of hard fighting, the whole army was tired, and just when the Huan army was about to retreat for rest, the defenders in the city suddenly counterattacked, and one of the generals led by it was Shangguan Yuanrang, who was known as the first fierce general of the wind country and the god of war.
The counterattack of the commander of Shangguan Yuanrang, its offensive was so fierce that it was far superior to the offensive of the Huan army when it attacked the city, where could the Huan army, which was already exhausted, be able to resist it, and was defeated by the wind army that rushed out, and there were countless dead and wounded.
Shangguan Yuanrang did not chase and kill again and again, and after the Huan army broke and fled, he collected his troops and withdrew to Zhongqu Pass.
The defeat of Quguan in the attack made the Huan army understand that it was impossible to break through from the rear, and the only way out was Xihuan Pass.
The desperate Huan army launched a more frantic assault on Xihuan Pass, and the whole army was divided into several waves with the corps as a unit, and attacked the city day and night.
However, there are also a lot of defenders in Xihuan Pass, in addition to the 100,000 Plains Army, there are more than 100,000 An troops, plus sufficient preparations before the battle, it is not very difficult to resist the offensive of the Huan army.
The battle between the two sides has been a tug-of-war, and it will last for more than a month.
During this period, it is no longer clear how many times the Huan army has attacked Xihuan Pass, but after a month, the Xihuan Pass is still full of Anguo's national flag, and the Huan army still can't cross the Lei Chi half a step.
In this month's fighting, the Huan army suffered heavy casualties, and more than 100,000 soldiers were killed outside the Xihuan Pass alone.
As far as the eye can see, the corpse outside the city wall is more than two zhang high, if the Huan army outside the city rushes to the corpse, it is only one zhang away from the city head, as long as someone stands against the wall, another person can climb directly to the city head by stepping on his shoulder.
However, up to now, the Huan army has run out of ammunition and food, not to mention that the grain and grass have been eaten up, even the war horses in the army, and even the weeds and bark between Zhongqu Pass and Xihuan Pass have been gnawed away.
At this point in the battle, the fighting spirit of the Huan army was completely lost, the officers and men of the whole army were hungry, and the fatal thing was that all kinds of diseases began to spread again, and the few remaining soldiers who could fight fell ill in large numbers and were unable to fight again.
In this case, the Huan army had no other way but to surrender, but the Feng and An armies had no intention of surrendering.
The Feng army is unwilling to accept the surrender army, this is a consistent tradition, and Nie Ze has repeatedly said that if you want to win the Huan State quickly, you have to beat the Huan State once, and the pain is unforgettable, and the future battle will be easy to fight.
The An army refused to surrender, it would be simpler, the Huan army had been fighting in the south and north of the country for so long, and the losses caused to the country were immeasurable, and the hatred of the An people for the Huan army can be imagined The Feng army and the An army thought of going together, but they refused to surrender, even if there were Huan soldiers who came to surrender with white flags, they were mercilessly shot by the soldiers of the two armies at the head of the city.
The 600,000 Huan army was trapped in Kongsang Mountain, and it took up to two months before and after, and finally, this time the Huan army commanded by the three major military marquis was wiped out in Kongsang Mountain, even Lu Chen, Jin Sheng, and Jiang Yang were not spared.
This battle is the heaviest loss of Huan since the outbreak of the five-nation dispute, so far, the four major military marquis of Huan have all been killed, and the main central army of Huan has lost everything.
The impact of the Battle of Kongsang Mountain was huge, not only weakening the military strength of the Sichuan Huan Alliance to the greatest extent, but also allowing Anguo, which was also not optimistic, to see the dawn of victory, and the situation in the south of Anguo was also reversed.
When the battle report of the battle of Kongsang Mountain reached Tang Yin, it was just when he commanded the Fengyu coalition army that had just captured Daxing, the capital of Huan State.
Seeing this battle report written by Xiao Muqing himself, Tang Yin was overjoyed, and praised several times on the spot.
In this battle, Nie Ze undoubtedly played a vital role, it was his prediction like a god, calculated the movements of the Huan army, and arranged the net in advance, so that this decisive victory was achieved.
Tang Yin rewarded Nie Ze in his reply, and ordered Xiao Muqing to command the Plains Army, the directly subordinate army, and the Hundred Battles Army to march from Kongsang Mountain to the territory of Huan State, assist his side, and pursue Li Xin and the Huan State court who fled to Lutai.
Now, Tang Yin has knocked down Huandu Daxing, but this is almost an empty city, everything that can be taken away has been taken away by Li Xin, even the people in the city have run away, there is not much left, if the big capital is empty, like a ghost city. captured the capital of a country, not only did not seize gold, silver and jewelry, but even did not get armaments and materials, Tang Yin was of course not satisfied with such a result.
On the second day after the Fengyu coalition captured Daxing, the dark arrow came back with 200,000 taels of silver.
Tang Yin, who heard the news, was quite surprised, so he asked Cheng Jin to come and ask him where he got so much silver.
Cheng Jin explained to Tang Yin in 1510 that there was originally a Yuexiu Villa near Daxing, which was lived by a well-known wealthy man in Huan Kingdom, with a lot of money and rich assets, and the 200,000 taels of silver were the funding given by Yuexiu Villa to Fengjun, to put it bluntly, it was to spend money to buy peace, so that Fengjun would not harass Yuexiu Villa.
Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, what kind of rich man is this, as soon as he makes a move, it is 200,000 taels of silver, he is really rich Tang Yin just smiled at this matter, and did not take it too seriously.
On this day, after Tang Yin had lunch with Yin Rou and Lingshuang, he was bored in the palace, changed into civilian clothes, and only took Ah San and Ah Si and the two out of the palace quietly and wandered around Daxing City.
Since the Fengyu coalition army occupied Daxing, the military discipline is strict, that is, the city has not been slaughtered, and there is no looting everywhere, many of the people of Huan who originally fled the capital for refuge have returned to the city, among which the most returned to the city are traders, hundreds of thousands of Fengyu coalition troops live in the capital, to eat, drink and buy things, how can the businessmen miss such a big business opportunity, at this time the streets and alleys in the city have begun to have popularity, and the Fengyu coalition army has just entered the city when there is a world of difference.
Tang Yin and Ah San Ah Si looked east and west, but they also found it very interesting.
Knowing that Yin Rou and Lingshuang both liked to eat snacks, Tang Yin also specially bought some snacks such as dried fruits and candied fruit from roadside vendors.
The palace is located in the north city, and it will not go far to the north city gate, seeing that there is nothing to visit here, Tang Yin and Ah San Ah Si were about to turn around and walk back, at this time, a group of untidy jade troops ran in from outside the north city.
These jade soldiers were crooked and slanted, and many of them still had colors on their faces, blue noses and swollen faces, supporting each other, scolding and scolding towards the city.
Seeing this, Tang Yin frowned secretly, wondering in his heart, so dignified, who was beaten by Yujun to look like this He was about to go up to ask, but a jade army guarding the city gate rushed over first, and asked one by one with wide eyes and surprise and curiosity: "What's the matter, who beat the brothers":
