Of course, Fengguo was not satisfied with Sichuan's reply, and the Fengguo imperial court also intended to use this matter to make trouble to Sichuan. Later, Fengguo insisted that it was the Sichuan army that robbed and killed the caravan in Sichuan, so that Sichuan must hand over the murderer.
Sichuan felt very innocent and could not hand over any murderer. Soon after the imperial court of Sichuan rejected Feng's unreasonable request, Fengguo suddenly broke its face and declared war on Sichuan without warning.
On the second day of the declaration of war, several central army corps of Fengguo, which had already been ready to go, began to March southward and invade the territory of Sichuan.
Fengguo is a soldier from two routes. The plain army, the Tianying army, the Huwei army, and the Feiyu army were all along the way. They sent troops from Shangjing to attack Leize County in Sichuan.
The Sanshui army, the Feilong army, the Ninth Army and the Huben army took another route. They went south from the pass city of Chuankou County in Andi and attacked the Bianyang County of Sichuan.
It can be seen from the dispatch of troops from Fengguo that Fengguo was premeditated to invade Sichuan. Leize County of Sichuan is rich in rivers and swamps, so the four regiments dispatched by Fengguo are Infantry Corps.
The Bianyang County of Sichuan is a plain area, so the troops of Fengguo are mainly cavalry, supplemented by infantry. The Ninth Army and Huben army are heavy cavalry regiment and light cavalry regiment, all of which are invested here.
It is not enough for Fengguo to join the eight legions at one go. Behind the eight legions, there is the 12th army headed by Liu Zhang, and then there are the army directly under the command and the Baizhan army in full readiness.
It can be said that in addition to the Chifeng army, Fengguo has put all the available troops into this battle against the state of Sichuan, which can be said to be a blood cost.
Li Shu, who had already formed an alliance with Fengguo, was not willing to fall behind. He did not need to find any excuse for sending troops to Sichuan. He did not declare war in advance and directly sent a large army to Sichuan.
Li Shu ordered Yin Li to be commander-in-chief, commanding almost all the forces of the Zhen army, with a total of four regiments of 400000, and attacked Jingyang County from the west of Sichuan.
For a time, the situation in Sichuan was in a precarious situation. It is very difficult for the state of Sichuan to resist the eight armies of Fengguo in a two pronged way. Besides, there are 400000 Zhenjun troops in the West which are not inferior to the Fengguo army.
The imperial court of the state of Sichuan made an emergency response by appointing Ren Fang as commander-in-chief with a total of 400000 troops. He went to three counties in northern Sichuan to resist the invasion of plain army, Tianying army, Huwei army and Feiyu army, and appointed Bu Ying as commander-in-chief. He also led a 400000 army to Bianyang county to resist the invasion of Sanshui army, Feilong army, the Ninth Army and Huben army, and then appointed Jin Zhuo as commander-in-chief, Yang Zhao and LV you As the deputy commander, he unified 400000 troops and went to the west to resist the invasion of Sichuan army.
At once, more than ten legions were sent to defend against foreign enemies. Now, Sichuan's military strength began to be insufficient. At this time, there were voices of complaining about Xiao Xiang both inside and outside the imperial court.
Many people in Sichuan believe that Xiao Xiang's banning the family army in order to consolidate her throne was a big mistake. Now that foreign enemies are invading Sichuan in a large scale, the central army is not enough. If there is a family army, the state of Sichuan will not be so passive.
The family army system is originally a double-edged sword. In dealing with foreign enemies, the role of the family army is obvious. However, it also causes factional disputes within Sichuan and causes great internal friction.
It is difficult to judge whether Xiao Xiang is right or wrong in banning the family army, but one thing is certain. She misjudged the severe situation facing Sichuan, at least the timing of banning the family army is not very appropriate.
In any case, the family army has disappeared in the state of Sichuan. Now facing the invasion of Feng Zhen, the state of Sichuan can only use the central army to fight against it.
When commander Ren Fang arrived at the three prefectures in northern Sichuan, the Feng army had already captured Leize county. The former army even crossed Yisu county and arrived at Shuangtang county. Ren Fang led the Sichuan army to fight with the former army of the Feng army. The scale of the battle was not very large. Seeing that the Sichuan army had a large number of troops, the Feng army took the initiative to withdraw. Then, Ren Fang took advantage of the situation to advance to Yisu county and launched a decisive battle with the main force of the wind force in Yisu county.
The two sides had the same strength and strength. At this time, they were all fighting for the strategy and commanding ability of Xiao MuQing and Ren Fang.
The two armies of FengChuan fought with each other for more than ten small battles. Each side had its own victory or defeat, as well as casualties. It seemed that the two sides were fighting with each other. However, the Feng army was fighting in a different place, while the Sichuan army was fighting at home. Under the advantage of advantageous location and people, the Sichuan army also drew with the Feng army, which was obviously inferior to the Sichuan army.
However, the Sichuan army led by Ren Fangsuo is already the best. On the other hand, the 400000 Sichuan army headed by Bu Ying rushed to Bianyang county. Before arriving in Bianyang County, the Sichuan army was attacked by the wind force on the way.
It was the Huben army of Fengguo who invaded the hinterland of Sichuan and dared to attack 400000 troops. Huben army was the cavalry regiment of the former state of mo. later, Fengguo annexed the state of Mo, and by the way took over the Huben army, which had long been famous in the world.
The biggest characteristic of Huben army is its fast speed. It passes through several counties and counties in Sichuan. It is almost as if there is no one there. The local army has no time to organize effective interception, and the Huben army has already galloped by.When the Huben army had already launched a surprise attack on the Sichuan army, the emergency military information sent by the local governments in Sichuan finally reached buying's hand.
That is to say, at that time, the speed of the Huben army had already exceeded the speed of transmitting information in Sichuan. This was too terrible. Bu Ying was dumb and could not say that she was suffering from Coptis.
The Huben army's sneak attack did not kill many Sichuan troops, and their purpose was not to fight with the main force of the Sichuan army, but to provide the army with food and supplies.
After a surprise attack, more than half of the Sichuan army's food, grass and military supplies were destroyed by the Huben army, and the speed of the Sichuan army's march was slowed down. Bu Ying had no choice but to order the whole army to stay at the same place for the time being, and then continue to march north to meet the enemy after the supplies from the rear area arrived.
The Sichuan army's attack had nothing to do with Bu Ying's ability. After all, he was a man, not a God, and could not be a prophet. No one would have thought that he could be attacked by a large number of enemy forces in his own country and in a place where there was no enemy?
Before contacting the main force of the wind force, the 400000 Sichuan army under commander buying had already lost a move and was dragged to the interior of Sichuan.
As for the Sichuan army along Jinzhuo's road, it was the most difficult way to fight. They were faced with 400000 Zhenjun troops.
It may be that the successive defeats in Zhendi have left a shadow on the psychology of the Sichuan people. This time, the Sichuan army was cautious against the Zhen army, even on its own land, it was cautious to step by step.
But even so, the Sichuan army still suffered heavy losses. As for the cautious Sichuan army, Yinli didn't even pay attention to it. The unified army directly bypassed the Sichuan army and went straight into the hinterland of Sichuan.
On the battlefield, I'm afraid only Zhen people dare to fight like this. They are not afraid that their own logistics supply lines will be cut off, they are not afraid to go deep into the enemy's territory and fall into a tight encirclement, that is to say, they will go on a rampage regardless of it.
The Sichuan army intended to resist the Zhen army, so that it could no longer invade the Sichuan territory, but it did not expect that the Zhen army would come.
This time, the Sichuan army was in a panic. If the Zhen army were allowed to invade the interior of Sichuan, how many cities would be slaughtered, how many people would be killed and injured, and even the 400000 Zhen army might go to Zhaoyang at one go.
At this time, even if the Sichuan army was not willing to engage in a frontal battle with the Zhen army, Jin Zhuo could only order that the whole army pursue the Zhen army.
As a result, he saw that the Sichuan army was no longer defending the camp, but the whole army was chasing after him. Yinli immediately killed a gun and turned around to fight with the Sichuan army.
On the one hand, it is easy to face the battle with preparation, and on the other hand, it is helpless to rush out to fight. The final result can be imagined.
Once again, the Sichuan army was defeated by the Zhen army, and the 400000 army was chased out by the Zhen army for more than 100 li. Finally, they all retreated to Fengwu, the county city of Shiling county.
Seeing that the Sichuan army was shrinking inside and outside Fengwu, Yin Li, commander-in-chief of Zhenjun, attacked all the cities and counties around Fengwu. Finally, only Fengwu was left. It seemed that he intended to trap the Sichuan army in Fengwu.
At present, the Sichuan army headed by Jin Zhuo could not fight and could not defend this isolated city. Finally, they could only ask Zhaoyang for help and ask the imperial court to send troops for reinforcements.
The three places were at war, and the war situation in the three places was unfavorable to the state of Sichuan. The troops of Ren Fang and bu Ying had frequent battles with the Feng army, and they had great losses. They asked the imperial court for reinforcements, but buying's troops had not yet fought with the Feng army, but they were attacked. The cavalry who asked the imperial court for food and military supplies and could compete with the Huben army of Feng state were even more miserable and were killed by the Zhen army Fengwu, who is still trapped in Shiling County, is in danger of being destroyed at any time.
For the current predicament, Xiao Xiang and the imperial court of Sichuan are exhausted and helpless. At present, there are less than three battalions that Sichuan can recruit, and most of them are new recruits. How should we divide the 200000 troops? Is it for Ren Fang, bu Ying or Jinzhuo? If more than 200000 troops are sent out, Zhaoyang will almost become an empty city. Once the enemy sneaks in, Zhaoyang will not even be able to defend itself. Isn't the imperial court waiting to be slaughtered?
The wangsun nobles in Zhaoyang City unanimously opposed to sending out the last of these troops. However, if no reinforcements were sent, the three armies led by Ren Fang, bu Ying and Jin Zhuo could not withstand the enemy. What should we do?
Now, Xiao Xiang has no idea at all. When the enemy forces are pressing on the border, any opportunism is useless. Even if he has all kinds of political considerations and a lot of intrigues, he is useless at this time.
Over the past few days, Xiao Xiang has really felt the strong pressure. This is not a question of whether she can keep the throne, but that Sichuan has come to the point of life and death.
That day, late at night, Xiao Xiang still did not sleep, in the study of the palace, reading the battle report from the front. So many war reports have to be put together. It's so high that none of them is a good report. All of them are urgent documents.
