Li Cheng's 200000 Zhen army, regardless of other matters, has only one goal, that is, Fengdu Yancheng. If he did not lead his troops to withdraw from Chongcheng at this time, but stayed and stationed, it would be a huge problem for the main wind force retreating to Chongcheng.
But the war situation did not change. Li Cheng led his army to Fangcheng. The next morning, the main force of the wind force headed by Tang Yin arrived in Chongcheng.
After entering the city, when people saw the chaotic scene in the city, they were also shocked and didn't understand what happened here.
Soon, those disabled and defeated generals who had escaped a robbery and hid in all parts of the city heard that their army had arrived, and they came out one after another and told the general of the Feng army all about what had happened in Chongcheng.
After hearing this, all the Feng generals were confused. The Zhen army unexpectedly attacked Chongcheng. When did they enter Fengguo? How can we march faster than our own? What's more, since they have already captured Chongcheng, why don't they stay and join forces with Chuanzhen's main force to attack them?
There are so many questions that people don't know. Tang Yin was calm and calm. He asked the garrison, "how many enemy troops are there? In which direction did you run? "
A soldier replied, "there are about 200000 enemy troops. When they leave the city, they go north!"
With so many people, Tang Yin's thoughts were flexible. After careful consideration, he had already understood the general situation. Looking around the generals, he firmly said, "the 200000 troops are not here to block our retreat, but to attack the capital."
As soon as the words came out, everyone was breathing in. No wonder the other party only took a rest in Chongcheng for three hours and then ran away in a hurry. It turned out that their target was Yancheng.
Qiu Zhen also felt that Tang Yin's analysis was reasonable. He said in a hurry: "king, the capital's troops are empty. I'm afraid it's difficult to resist the 200000 Zhen army now."
What he said was the truth. In order to resist the invasion of Chuanzhen allied forces, Tang Yin basically took all the soldiers that could be fought. At present, the basic troops left in the capital are the Fengguo reserve army, that is, all the new recruits who have just joined the army. They have not received systematic training and have no experience in fighting. Even in this way, their strength is less than 50000.
With such a small number of troops and no combat effectiveness, it is heaven's night talk to resist the 200000 Zhen army, which is extremely fierce. As for the generals in the army, they are even less pitiful. The only thing worth mentioning is Lei Zhen, who refuses to leave the country even if he dies.
Tang Yin frowned and was silent. However, his brain was running fast, thinking about how to deal with the situation. It's impossible to expect the capital to protect itself. It's even worse if our troops go to reinforce themselves. That will attract the main force of the Sichuan Zhenjiang United Army together. When they fall down, they will have no room for maneuver.
The generals looked at Tang Yin eagerly. People had their own ideas in their hearts, but they did not dare to say so easily. Now it is related to the survival of the capital city and the life and death of Fengguo. They can only wait for Tang Yin to make a decision.
After a long time, Tang Yin looked at lotian and Aijia and said, "send letters to the counties and counties in the North immediately, organize local troops, and try to block the Zhen people in any case. In addition, we will also inform all cities to lay out their own defense and defense, and to keep the enemy out of the city! "
"Yes! King Lotte and Aijia should be both.
Later, Tang Yin looked at Peng haochu and said, "haochu, you lead the Chifeng army to pursue the enemy. If you can fight, you can fight. If you can't, you must hold the enemy to death. You must never let them advance to the capital city!"
"Yes! King Peng haochu stepped in and took command.
Qiu Zhen asked, "king, what about us?"
Tang Yin didn't answer immediately. He asked Chongcheng garrison, "how much food is there in the city?"
The defenders looked at each other, and at last they bowed their heads and stammered: "no, the granaries have been robbed by the Zhen army, the people in the city have also been looted by the Zhen army, and many people have died"
"these animals!" The faces of the generals of the Feng army were livid, and the fists clenched.
Tang Yin is not surprised. If he is the chief General of the Zhen army, he will let his subordinates do what they want. He nodded and said, "Chongcheng has no food. Our army can't hold on to it. We have to retreat!"
"King, is it going north?"
"Retreat to the East!" Tang Yin said, "the capital is empty. We can no longer direct the main force of the Chuan Zhen allied forces to the capital."
"Our army was in Taian, Shangqing and Gaoyang prefectures to deal with the enemy." Tang Yin said categorically.
"But," Qiu Zhen said in embarrassment, "our troops are too few."
At present, they have more than 400000 troops. After sending out 100000 Chifeng troops, only 300000 are left. Among these 300000 people, 250000 are Ningjun, among which 100000 are new forces that have no combat effectiveness and can only be used as cannon fodder. Only 100000 troops directly under the direct command can truly compete with the enemy, while the Chuanzhen united army has 600000 troops. There is a gap between the strength of the two sides It's too different. Even if it's fighting at home, let alone winning, even if it's self-protection, there's little hope.
Of course, Tang Yin knew how much the difference in strength between the two armies was, and how difficult the battle would be. But now there was no other way but to do so.Others can show worry, but as a monarch, Tang Yin can't. no matter how deep he is, he has to show confidence. At a disadvantage, if the confidence of the officers and men collapsed again, it would be totally hopeless.
He took his time to smile and said: "no matter how big a disadvantage we have not experienced. When Zhong Tian rebelled, he sent a million troops to encircle and suppress us who had just started our army. But was it not a great defeat that we killed? The situation is much better than then. At least the counties are still under our control. "
Qiu Zhen sighed secretly. The king only said good, not bad. Zhong Tian's million army was actually a mob. How can it be compared with the Sichuan Zhen united army? But he also understood what Tang Yin meant. He was giving encouragement to the generals. He was not punctured, but his brows were still tight.
His support was very important to Tang Yin. The latter patted Qiu Zhen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Qiu Zhen, I have said before that it is up to you to formulate a big strategy and guide the big direction. It is up to me to hand over the enemy war and short soldiers. I have faith in you, and you must have faith in me
Amused by his words, Qiu Zhen shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "since the king has made a decision, I will certainly defend the king's decision to the death!"
"Yes Tang Yin nodded, looked around the generals and asked, "what do you think of the generals?"
All the generals' spirits were shaken, and they all stepped in to salute and said in unison, "the last general will be dispatched from the king!"
After arriving at Chongcheng, the wind force changed its strategy, gave up retreating to the north and moved to the East instead. It was based on the three counties in the East and interacted with the main forces of the Chuan Zhen allied forces.
Ren Fang and Nie Ze naturally pursued the main force of the Feng army, and their goal was very clear, that is, to annihilate the main force of the Feng army and capture Tang Yin. If Tang Yin did not die, the Fengguo would not really perish.
To go to the three counties in the East, you have to pass Gaochuan county first. This was the burial place of the remnants of Zhong Tian and Zhan's brothers, but now they come here again. Everyone's heart is full of all kinds of flavors.
For the wind forces, they came here to pursue the enemy, but now they come here, they are being chased by the enemy.
As for the Ning people headed by Zuo Shuang, the mood is more complicated. At the beginning, the remnants of Ning army, led by the incomparable and invincible war, fought with the Feng army and all of them were killed. Now, they are part of the Feng army. They have to fight with the enemy side by side to resist the Sichuan Zhenlian army. Things are unpredictable. People can't help but sigh. If the Zhan brothers have a spirit in heaven, they don't know how to feel when they see this scene.
Most of Gaochuan county is mountainous, so it's not easy to March, and the speed of the wind force also began to slow down.
On the way, Qiu Zhen said to Tang Yin, "king, Gaochuan county is full of mountains and forests. How about our army fighting the enemy here?"
Tang Yin also thought about it, but he couldn't find the right tactics for a while. Ren Fang, commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Zhenjiang united army, is very good at using troops and has excellent strategy. His own side is not strong enough to fight head-on, so it is impossible to set an ambush to lead the enemy. He pondered for a long time and asked, "can our army take the risk of Pan Shui to fight a water war with the other side?"
He clearly remembered that it was very difficult for him to lead the army to fight Panshui last time.
Before Qiu Zhen could speak, a counsellor named Fan Shan shook his head and said in a quick voice, "the king is not right! The Zhen army was not good at water fighting, but the Sichuan army was not. The state of Sichuan is located in the southeast. It has many rivers and is close to the sea. Nine out of ten people in Sichuan know the nature of water, and water warfare is not our army's strong point. Therefore, we must not fight the enemy on the Pan River
Fan Shan is now only a military counselor, and he has not been in the army for a long time. Tang Yin can't even name him, but he and Tang Yin still have some relatives. Fan Shan is a distant relative of fan min, one of the wives of Tang Yin. He is also fan min's mother's family. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would not have been able to join the army and become an ordinary soldier at best.
Although Fan Shan became a counselor with the army through his relationship, he had real talent and practical learning. He was proficient in military books and tactics, had a flexible mind, and was good at making miracles. He can be called a genius in the military field.
Tang Yin didn't know Fan Shan well. He had never seen this man before, let alone that he was a distant relative of fan min. after listening to Fan Shan, he sighed slightly. It seemed that water war was not a good strategy.
He murmured: "in this way, our army can only give up Gaochuan county."
At this time, Zuo Shuang went to Tang Yin and intervened to salute him. He said, "Your Majesty, you will want to go to Zhangyu at the end of the day."
Zhangyu is the prefecture of Gaochuan county. If Fengjun just wants to pass through Gaochuan County, they will not pass by Zhangyu. Tang Yin didn't know why, so he asked, "Zuo Shuang, why did you go to Zhangyu?"
"At the end of the day, I would like to pay homage to the two generals who are matchless and invincible!"
Once this is said, all the people present will change color.
