That's what wind king means. The generals nodded in succession and felt that Tang Yin's analysis was reasonable. Since the other party offered to deliver the goods to the door, they would not take advantage of it.
According to Tang Yin's intention, the city head of Longding fortress was replaced with the flag of Zhen state. The troops of Feng, Yu, an and Huan were all withdrawn. The soldiers and generals standing guard on the wall were all pure and pure.
In fact, as Tang Yin had expected, the Zhen army that came here was indeed a reinforcements. Moreover, he did not know that the Longding fortress had changed its ownership. First, the battle was too fast. Second, it was the most crucial point. The United forces annihilated the garrison and did not release one person. This completely blocked the news of the fall of Longding fortress.
When the Allied forces attacked, they did not use large-scale siege weapons, and the fortress's city defense was not damaged at all. The walls of the fortress were full of Zhen banners, and the soldiers on guard were also Zhen troops. How could this reinforcements think that there would be traps, defenseless and swaggering into the fortress.
If it was day time, the reinforcements might see blood stains that would have to be cleaned up in the future, but it was just late at night. Even if there were torches, the scope of vision would be very limited.
When all the reinforcements of the state of Zhen entered the fortress, the city gate was closed by the Allied forces. Suddenly, there were shouts of killing around the reinforcements. The ambush suddenly appeared. Looking up, the light ball, torch, and bright pine made the fortress bright as day. Suddenly, a sea of allied soldiers and soldiers appeared, covering the sky and covering the earth, surrounded the reinforcements of three thousand people, three floors and three outer floors.
The reinforcements didn't understand what was going on. All of them were surprised and at a loss when facing the coalition forces suddenly killed around them.
There has been no fighting, and there is no need to fight again in the present situation. There is a huge difference between the forces of the two sides. If the United forces, close to 100000 people, can trample these 3000 reinforcements into meat cakes as soon as they go.
Under the good advice of the soldiers of the Zhen army in the United Army, the 3000 reinforcements did not make unnecessary resistance, and finally put down their weapons and surrendered.
The surrender of the support army was just a trivial incident, but it made Tang Yin keenly aware of the opportunity. Since the support soldiers did not know about the loss of Longding fortress, would more reinforcements still be on their way?
As for the overall military strength of Longhu County, catching turtles in the urn and capturing the Zhen army as much as possible will also cause huge consumption for the overall military strength of Longhu county.
To understand this, he immediately ordered Letian and Aijia to send a message to the main forces of the United forces behind him, asking them to stay at the same place for the time being and not to enter Longhu County, so as to attract more reinforcements to gather at Longding fortress.
Tang Yin's strategy worked wonders. During the two days when the United forces stationed at Longding fortress, there were five waves of reinforcements before and after. The number of reinforcements ranged from thousands to hundreds, and the total number was nearly 20000.
It was not until the third day that the Allied forces were waiting for the fort to be lost that the news spread in Longhu county.
Seeing that there was no coalition army, Tang Yin let the main force of the United forces enter Longhu County, and part of the troops were stationed in Longding fortress to take care of the prisoners, while the main force continued to move westward, near the capital city of Zhenguo, Xitang.
Now Longhu County, three counties in the territory, two of which have basically become empty counties, Xinyu county where all the troops are concentrated. The western advance of the Allied forces was very smooth, and it took only four days to get to Xinyu county.
This is the last line of defense in Xitang, and the number of troops in the county has exceeded 300000. More than 300000 troops were scattered in Huaning and Tongcheng.
Huaning is located in the northeast of Xitang, and Tongcheng is in the southeast of Xitang. These two cities are like two horns growing out of Xitang. If the United forces ignore these two cities and take Xitang directly, the Zhenguo side can attack on three sides and attack the Allied forces.
Therefore, even though Xitang was close at hand, the United forces could only fight steadily and take down the two cities of Huaning and Tongcheng first.
On how to attack Huaning and Tongcheng, the monarchs of the four countries and the generals of the five countries gathered together to discuss the next tactics and strategies.
Li Xin was the first to take a stand, saying: "our army has a million people, and according to the information we have obtained, the troops of Huaning and Tongcheng are not more than 200000. Our army can go forward in two ways, go hand in hand, take Huaning and Tongcheng, and after taking the two cities, they will attack Xitang on both sides."
He spoke with confidence and confidence, and now the coalition forces do have such strength.
Tang Yin chuckled indifferently and asked, "the soldiers are divided into two ways? How to divide it? Who is with whom? "
Li Xin's tactics are not his own ideas, but the result of consultation with his subordinates in advance. Hearing Tang Yin's question, he said calmly: "in our fifth Route Army, Fengjun and Zhenjun brothers are generally recognized as the most powerful. In my opinion, the Feng army and the Yu army are still on the same road, and the three armies of an, Huan and Zhen are the same. The former takes Huaning and the latter takes Tongcheng. The two armies have the same fighting power, so it should be easy to capture these two cities. "
Tang Yin didn't answer immediately. He lowered his head and kept his eyes on the map. His fingers were still drawing on it from time to time.
Although the Feng and Yu armies had fewer troops on this route, the strength of Huaning attacked by them was also weaker than that of Tongcheng. Li Xin's distribution was obviously well thought out, reasonable and feasible.He thought it was feasible, but the generals of the Zhen army below were in a hurry. Others may not know the strength of the two armies, but they know it like the palm of one's hand and have fought with them in the past. The officers and men of these two armies are all superficial, but in fact they are vulnerable to attack. If they are with them, they will not only be used as swordsmen, but also be dragged down by them.
Unfortunately, there was no monarch to speak for them, so they had to fight for it themselves.
Kong Qing took a deep breath and was about to speak out against it. At this time, Xiao MuQing, commander-in-chief of the plain army of the Feng army, preempted him and said, "for the absolutely superior force, we have to divide our forces into two ways, taking Huaning and Tongcheng. From the view of the general at the end of the day, this is asking for trouble."
Although Li Xin is very brave, but he is not broad-minded. When Xiao MuQing opposed his tactics, his face sank immediately, sneered, and asked, "Oh? So general Xiao has a better strategy to defeat the enemy? "
In Xiao MuQing's eyes, except Tang Yin, he has never been able to accommodate others. Even though Lixin is the king of a country, in his opinion, he is just a common man who is difficult to become an atmosphere.
With a smile, he said: "it's better to concentrate on one city than to separate troops. Whether it's Huaning or Tongcheng, you can take Xitang directly. Of course, it's just an empty move. The purpose is to attract the Zhenjun of another city to come to rescue. As long as they leave the city, I can kill it immediately and annihilate it outside the city!"
Tang Yin nodded his head as he listened. He felt that Xiao MuQing's strategy was much more stable than Li Xin's.
If we attack one city together, we can easily win both Huaning and Tongcheng with the strength of one million of our own troops. If we attack these two cities separately, we are afraid that the battle may not be easy.
Li Xin was unconvinced and asked, "what if another city doesn't send troops to rescue?"
Xiao MuQing laughed and said, "it would be easier if that were the case. We can change the virtual attack into the real attack. We'll take the Western soup in one puff."
"But" Li Xin still wanted to argue. At this time, Yueze also heard that Xiao MuQing's tactics were more feasible. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "brother Li, we are the monarch. We should leave such trivial matters as platoon and deployment of troops and battles to the generals to deal with. Why do we have to intervene?"
"Yes Lingshuang said in a low voice: "brother Yue Wang is right. We can't argue with these generals who are accustomed to fighting!"
Yueze and lingshuang persuade Li Xin to step down. He shrugs his shoulders and says, "brother Wang and sister Wang are right." Then he looked at Tang Yin and asked, "what do you mean by Tang Wang Di?"
Tang Yin said casually, "let's do it according to MuQing's tactics! Our army will take Huaning first, and then advance to Xitang. If the Zhen army of Tongcheng rescues, we will return to our guns. If we do not rescue, we will take Xitang as soon as possible! "
"Good! Since the younger brother of Tang Wang also agrees, it's settled. " Li Xin nodded.
"One more thing." Yueze opened his mouth and said, "everyone has heard that the second army of Chuanmo has broken the Zhen army in Shima County, and now it is marching towards Xitang!"
"Hum!" Li Xin sneered and said, "I heard that! If Chuanmo had not transferred the 400000 reserve troops stationed in Anguo into Zhenguo, how could they have broken the Zhen army? "
The battle between Chuan Mo United Army and Zhenguo central army in Shima county was extremely fierce. The two sides originally fought 400000 against 400000. However, with the addition of the local army of Zhenguo, the balance of power between the two sides changed and the balance of victory began to tilt towards the side of the Zhen army.
Under the circumstances of no choice, the Chuan Mo united forces had no choice but to transfer their 200000 reserve forces to relieve the current precarious situation. With the participation of 400000 reserve forces in the war, the Chuan Mo united army has an overwhelming advantage. The two sides launched a face-to-face battle in Shima county. In this battle, the two sides fought and rested for five days. At last, the Zhen army was defeated and the Chuan Mo united army won a complete victory.
The scale of this war is so great that the number of casualties on both sides alone has exceeded 400000. The whole battlefield stretches for dozens of miles, with bodies piled up like mountains and rivers of blood.
During the war, even the commander-in-chief of the central army of the Zhen state, Tian Huaiyu, died in chaos.
After the war, the 400000 Zhenguo Central Army headed by Tian Huaiyu and the 200000 local army collapsed and suffered heavy casualties. However, the Chuan Mo united army, with the momentum of thundering force, occupied the whole territory of Shima County while pursuing and killing the Zhen army.
In the next westward March, the weakened Zhen army could no longer organize effective resistance, and had been chased by the Chuan Mo united army. Now, the Chuan Mo united army has passed through Shima county and entered linqiao county. As long as it passes through linqiao County, it can go straight to the West.
