As for the tactics of dividing the troops of the Feng army, Yuan Tian planned to remain unchanged to cope with all changes and hold still. Even if the Feng army bypasses Zheng'an and rescues the plain army trapped in Jueqing green mountain, it's no big deal. If Jinshi city goes further south, Mo has not only assembled a large number of local troops, but also the central army of Wang Ting is catching up. According to the current situation of the Feng army, it wants to continue to move southward, which is as powerful as heaven.
Yuan Tian ignored the Huwei army passing around the city, but Han Zhong, the patrol envoy sent by Zhenjiang, was extremely dissatisfied with this. He repeatedly urged yuan Tian to send troops to stop the wind army.
The local armies of the four counties, totaling 300000 people, how can Shaofang trust yuan Tian's county head commander? First, he is not confident about his ability. Second, he is also afraid of holding heavy troops, plotting rebellion or sudden defection. Therefore, Shaofang specially sent his confidant Minister Han Zhong to help yuan Tian resist the enemy, but actually monitored his actions.
Yuan Tian is not a mediocre person. He naturally knows the real purpose of Han Zhong's coming and is very polite to him.
After hearing Han Zhong's opinions, Yuan Tian said calmly: "the strategy of dividing the troops of the wind army is not simple. If our army sends troops hastily, we will have to fight a frontal confrontation with the wind army outside the city. The wind army is famous for its bravery and good fighting. Although our army has 300000 people, most of them are local armies assembled temporarily. Their combat power is far from that of the wind army, so they are unable to compete positively."
Han Zhong is Shaofang's confidant and the minister promoted by Shaofang after he became king. There is no doubt about his loyalty to Shaofang, and he has learned a lot. He can be called a talented and knowledgeable man. But one thing is that Han Zhong is a civil servant and a scholar. It is absolutely no problem for him to manage internal affairs and formulate national policies, but he is a layman to unify troops and fight in war.
When Yuan Tian said that his 300000 troops could not defeat more than 100000 people of the Feng army, Han Zhong's face immediately sank down and said coldly, "why did you let Lord yuan be so strong as a sergeant and destroy the prestige of our own army?" Without waiting for yuan Tian to explain, he continued: "the plain army of the wind country has arrived at Jinshi city. Fortunately, it is trapped in Jue green mountain by the garrison of Jinshi city. If this wind army is allowed to rescue the plain army, Jinshi city will not be protected, which will cause great losses to our country. In addition, the wind army can take Jinshi city as a stronghold and continue to go south to threaten the capital of our country. The consequences are unimaginable."
Yuan Tian said positively: "Lord Han, Jinshi city is just a city. Even if it is lost, it will have little impact on our country. In addition, a large number of troops have been assembled in the counties south of Jinshi City, and the central army is also going north to reinforce. It is impossible for the wind army to continue to go south..."
Han Zhong said: "the plain army is the most elite army of the wind country. Even the Huben army is lost in the hands of the plain army. Its combat power can be imagined. In any case, we must now make every effort to prevent the wind army from assisting the plain army. If general yuan is afraid of fighting, we should personally lead the army out of the city and block the wind army."
Alas! Yuan Tian sighed secretly. Who is taking advantage of the enemy's Sergeant spirit and destroying his own prestige? After the battle of Jue Castle Peak, the plain army was seriously injured. Even if it was rescued, how could it still have the strength and strength to continue the southern expedition? Now it is tantamount to self destruction to insist on going out of the city to fight the wind army.
He shook his head and said, "Lord Han, now our army must not go out of the city to fight with the wind army, and our army has no strength to fight with the wind army outside the city!"
"Hum!" Han Zhong snorted coldly and said, "it seems that Lord yuan's fear of the wind army has gone deep into his bones. In that case, I have to doubt whether Lord yuan still has the ability to command 300000 troops." As he spoke, he took out a roll of brocade from his cuffs and carefully unfolded it. First, he arched his hand to one side, and then said: "here is the king's written instruction! The king has made it clear in the written instruction that if Lord yuan's command is unfavorable, I have the right to take over all affairs of our army, including command!"
Yuan Tian's face changed when he heard the speech, and his eyes drooped. He looked at the king's instructions in Han Zhong's hands and was speechless for a long time. Yuantian knew that the king sent Han Zhong for a purpose, but he didn't expect to be so direct and distrust himself.
"Why? Lord yuan doesn't believe this is the king's instruction? You can take it and identify it carefully!" Seeing that Yuan Tian didn't speak for a long time, Han Zhong immediately handed yuan Tian his instructions.
This is the king's instruction. Even if Han Zhong has great courage, he doesn't dare to fake it. Yuan Tian knew very well. He subconsciously took two steps back and whispered, "I dare not be an officer."
Han Zhong put his hand back without expression and said, "I'll ask Lord yuan again for the last time. Do you want to lead the army to stop Feng Jun?"
Now yuan Tian is really at a loss. Han Zhong has the king's instructions in hand. If he insists on not sending troops, I'm afraid he will forcibly deprive himself of his military power. It doesn't matter whether he has military power or not. The key is that Han Zhong has only one civil minister. Where will he lead the army to fight and let him unify the army to fight? I'm afraid he will kill 300000 troops on his side.
In all kinds of helpless circumstances, Yuan Tian finally gave her heart a horizontal, bowed her hand and said politely, "lower official... Yes!"
Han Zhong finally smiled on his face, nodded and said, "it's not too late. Soldiers are precious and fast. Lord yuan will lead the army to meet the enemy now!"
Under Han Zhong's strong *, Yuan Tian, who didn't want to fight, had to choose to fight reluctantly.
However, he didn't take 300000 troops out of the city, but left 50000 soldiers and ordered them to escort the people in the city to leave the city and move to the south.
Without waiting for the two sides to start fighting, Yuan Tian had a premonition that his side would be defeated in this war. In order to prevent the red eyed wind army from slaughtering the city, he felt it was necessary to withdraw the people in the city first.
As for the Feng army, Tang Yin was overjoyed to learn that the Mo army in Zheng'an city took the initiative to leave the city and tried to block the Huwei army passing around the city. Gao Teng's troop division tactics really worked wonders. Without any delay, he immediately sent orders to the Huwei army to prepare for the battle, and he himself personally commanded the directly subordinate army and rushed in the direction of the Huwei army.
The armies of Fengmo and Mozambique, with a total of more than 500000 troops, were in formation on the plain 30 miles west of Zheng'an city and were ready to fight a frontal battle.
This is the largest battle since the outbreak of the Fengmo war. The troops of both sides are about 250000, but the composition of soldiers and generals is very different.
The Mozambican army is a unified local coalition army. Some people wear orthodox Mozambican army armor, while others still wear cloth clothes and trousers. The whole military appearance looks very uneven. Even the military flag is not unified, and the flags of four counties and 13 counties are mixed together.
On the other hand, the wind troops are all the central army of the wind country. Looking around, the wind troops with black helmets and black armor are overwhelming, and the red tassels on their heads form a red ocean. Even in the formation, the wind troops look more powerful than the Mozambican army. The soldiers hold their heads high and stand upright. Whether looking straight, horizontally or obliquely, the soldiers are arranged in a straight line.
Tang Yin was in the camp of the wind army and sat on the tall carriage. He narrowed his eyes and leaned forward. First, he looked at the opposite Mo army camp for a while, then sneered and said proudly: "the fire of fireflies, dare an compete with the sun and the moon?" As he spoke, he ordered: "send a message to Nanye, and the whole army of Huwei army will break in and attack the enemy directly from the front!"
"Yes! King!" The herald simply answered, shook the whip and hurried the horse away. At the same time, the drums in the wind army camp were loud and the roars shook people's eardrums.
Soon, Nanye received Tang Yin's order. He urged Ma to come to the front of the whole army and dial Ma back. As he walked, he shouted loudly, "the main force of the enemy is ahead. Although there are many troops, it is a mob. Today is the time for us to make achievements. In this battle, all our powerful soldiers and men will move forward bravely, not cut off the enemy and not turn back!"
"Kill -"
Nanye's cry could not be heard by all 150000 officers and soldiers of the whole army, but the officers and soldiers standing in front could still hear clearly. People's blood was boiling and the crowd was excited. They shook their arms and shouted. As soon as the officers and soldiers in front shouted, the morale of the officers and soldiers behind them also rose, and the whole army shouted to kill. Under the command of Nanye, the 15 regiments of Huwei army pressed against the Mozambican army.
The momentum of the 150000 troops should not be underestimated. The Huwei army took a neat and uniform step, and every step forward, it sent out the roar of earth shaking and mountains shaking. The regiment heads, deputy generals and commanders of the regiments rode back and forth in the camp, and the commander sounded one after another, constantly controlling the speed of the regiment's progress and ensuring the integrity of the whole army formation.
Don't fight. Watch the momentum of the wind army * closely. In terms of morale, the Mozambican army is one head shorter than others.
When I didn't see the wind army, the local army of Mozambique still felt that there were many people on its side and didn't pay attention to anything. Now it really went to the battlefield and felt a sense of fear when it met the real enemy Legion. For soldiers who have never experienced a large-scale war, this is a very natural physiological response and human nature.
At that time, there was no special psychological quality training. The psychological quality of soldiers was honed by continuous war, which also became a very important reason why the local army was inferior to the central army.
Looking at the wind troops who are not fast or slow and are advancing towards their own side in an orderly manner, and then looking at the faces of their own officers and soldiers, Yuan Tian couldn't help sighing. Is it necessary to fight again in this war? There's no need to wait for war. The two sides have come to a conclusion.
He turned to look at Han Zhong. Han Zhong's face was no better than the soldiers below, but his expression was calm. Even if his eyes showed a look of panic, he was trying to hide it.
Yuan Tian took a deep breath and whispered, "Lord Han, if our army... Retreats now, it's still time..."
This sentence seemed to step on Han Zhong's tail. The latter's eyes suddenly burst into flames. He said in a frozen voice: "eat Jun Lu, obey your orders and repay your kindness! As a minister of Mo, how can you be greedy and afraid of death when the enemy is in front of you? Today, even if you are broken to pieces, you should expel the strong prisoners and fight the wind thieves to the bottom!"
