After careful consideration, Tang Yin finally adopted the suggestions of Liang Qi and Ziying, gave up rescuing the an army trapped in Fengyang, and the whole army marched westward to attack Daxing, the capital of Huan.
At present, Huandu has almost no central army that can be sent to the battlefield in World War I, and it is even weaker to send troops to block the advance of Fengyu coalition army. Only local armies are available in counties, counties and cities along the way, but these scattered local armies will not be the opponents of Fengyu coalition army.
Along the way, the Fengyu coalition army destroyed the city and pulled out the stronghold. It was as powerful as bamboo, and no one could resist its edge.
When the Fengyu allied army was one county away from Daxing, Li Xin couldn't sit still in the capital. He led the family members of the harem and the ministers of the court of Huan to flee the capital and go to Lutai, an important town in the south of Huan.
The reason why Li Xin chose to go to Lutai is that Lutai is a large city with a palace, which can be used as a temporary capital. Secondly, Lutai is close to the Huanzhen border. Once the Fengyu allied forces attack, he can also escape into Zhendi and ask for the protection of the Sichuan army there.
As a monarch, Li Xin ran away with the imperial court. It is conceivable that the fighting spirit of the Huan army left behind in Daxing and near Daxing. It took only one month for the Fengyu allied forces to attack from Sanyang plain to Daxing, and there was no hard battle during this period.
In this month, the whole war situation has changed again.
The an army trapped in Fengyang city unexpectedly insisted, and the Chuanhuan allied army led by Xue Rong and pangxia couldn't attack for a long time.
In the month long siege, the Chuanhuan allied army broke through the city defense of Fengyang several times, but they were pushed out by the ANN army who fought desperately. The Fengyang city was still firmly controlled by the ANN army, and the Chuanhuan allied army was dragged out of Fengyang city.
On the other side of the angoo battlefield, the plain army, the directly subordinate army and the hundred war army of Fengguo also fought and fought repeatedly with Lu Chen, Jiang Yang and Jin Sheng of Huanguo.
In this war, there was no great difference in the military strength between the two sides. The military strength of the Feng army was 500000 and that of the Huan army was more than 600000, but the combat strength of the two armies was very different.
Although the Huan army is also the main corps of the central army of the state of Huan, and there are three major military princes in command, it is still a big difference compared with the original peace army, the directly subordinate army and the hundred war army, which are used to fighting and are brave and good at fighting.
In addition, in the war in Angola, the wind army has great advantages, which is no different from fighting in the mainland. In the war with the enemy, the wind army has received a lot of support from the Angolan court, local governments and even the people, especially the plain army and the directly subordinate army. The armaments have been replaced uniformly, and the armaments of the security army have been used from top to bottom, This has made the combat effectiveness of the plain army and the directly subordinate army invisible and qualitatively improved.
The first contact between the two armies of Fenghuan was the plain army, the directly subordinate army and the first Department of Lu Chen. Lu Chen's first Department planned to directly take Yuzhen, the capital of Anguo, and fought all the way. It was also a series of victories. I don't know how many groups of Angolan troops stationed along the road were defeated.
However, when Lu Chen's first army attacked the Zimeng pass of an Guo, it was fiercely resisted by the an army led by Yan Xi, the general of an Guo, and failed to attack smoothly.
Lu Chen's first department was blocked in Zimeng pass for five days. Seeing that the defenders in the pass resisted very strongly, Lu Chen finally reluctantly gave up the strong attack and decided to bypass Zimeng pass.
As a result, when Lu Chen led the army to retreat, the an army in Zimeng pass also counterattacked and chased and beat Huan Jun's ass.
Lu Chen was so angry that he immediately commanded the whole army. The latter army changed into the former army and fought to the death with an army. But as soon as the Huan army turned around, the an army took the initiative to retreat and did not fight with the Huan army. When the an army retreated and the Huan Army wanted to withdraw, the an army pursued it again.
An Jun not only did not have a direct confrontation with Huan Jun, but also delayed Huan Jun from evacuating. Obviously, he was delaying time and wanted to drag Lu Chen one near zimengguan.
As one of the four major military princes of Huan state, Lu Chen is also a famous general who is proficient in military books and strategies. Of course, he can see the intention of an Jun, but he is helpless for an Jun's almost rogue tactics.
While Lu Chen was still considering how to get rid of the entanglement of the an army, the plain army led by Xiao MuQing and the directly subordinate army led by Wu Ying arrived at Zimeng pass. The two armies arranged troops outside the Zimeng pass and launched a frontal decisive battle.
Before the war, Xiao MuQing also specially sent someone to Zimeng pass to tell the an army in the pass that there was no need to participate in the war.
Although an Jun played fairly well in the battle of Zimeng pass, his lack of confidence in an Jun has long been deep-rooted. Xiao MuQing is really afraid that an Jun's sudden participation in the war will help his own side, the more help, the more chaos, and he can't control the overall situation.
The first battle before Zimeng pass was the first one-on-one decisive battle between the main force of Feng army and the main force of Huan army.
In this war, there were two regiments of the Fengjun army, with a total strength of 200000. The three regiments of the Huanjun army, excluding the war damage along the way, had 250000 soldiers. In terms of military strength, the Huanjun army has an absolute advantage.
Although the soldiers of the two armies of Huanjiang and the garrison of Huanjiang were defeated, the morale of the two armies was greatly improved, But it still could not resist the fierce attack of the plain army and the directly subordinate army.
The battle between the two sides lasted only half a day, and the Huan army began to lose support. With the death and injury of the former army leading the battle, the officers and men of the Chinese army retreated in formation and regiment. The scene was like the ebb tide of the sea, which could not be stopped.
Even if Lu Chen's ability to command is strong, he can't control the overall situation at this time. In this war, the Huan army was defeated. In the later stage, even the an army, who promised the Feng army not to participate in the war, couldn't help killing zimengguan. The upper general Yan Xi personally went to battle and led the an army to pursue and kill the Huan army with the Feng army.
In this great defeat, the Huan army broke down and escaped for 80 miles. Along the way, discarded armor and weapons can be seen everywhere. There are Huan army corpses and seriously wounded soldiers everywhere. Their appearance is very different from that of the regiment with high fighting spirit.
Lu Chen was defeated in only one war. Why didn't Yan Xile keep his mouth closed? When he saw Xiao MuQing and Wu Ying, he enthusiastically connected them to Zimeng pass, thanked them for their assistance and praised the combat effectiveness of the wind army.
For Yan Xi, this battle is an important battle to save the country from water and fire, but for Xiao MuQing and Wu Ying, this battle is very common. It's just one of many battles he and Wu Ying have experienced. There's nothing to show off.
After defeating the Huan army, Xiao MuQing and Wu Ying planned to follow up the victory and destroy Lu Chen's army, but Yan Xi insisted on not letting them go and advised them to stay in Zimeng pass for a while. First, the wind army came from a long way and needed time to rest. Second, after a big war, the war damage of the wind army was not small and needed to be supplemented. He patted his chest as a guarantee and sent a letter to the imperial court, Let the imperial court make up for the war damage of the wind army.
Yan Xi kept the Fengjun again and again, more or less because he had no bottom in his heart. If there was a Fengjun, his stationed Zimeng pass would be as solid as gold soup. Even if there were many enemies, the Fengjun could defeat them.
Xiao MuQing and Wu Ying accepted Yan Xi's suggestion and settled down at Zimeng pass temporarily. First of all, the officers and men of the whole army really need time to rest. Secondly, and most importantly, they have coveted the armaments of the Angolan army for a long time. If they can really get the support of the Angolan court, it would be better.
Yan Xi didn't break his promise. In his biography to the imperial court, he greatly appreciated the assistance and combat effectiveness of Feng Jun, and bluntly proposed to Yueze that his side should vigorously fund the armaments of Feng Jun, so as to win over and please Feng Jun. as long as Feng Jun can stand firmly on the side of an Guo and fight for an Guo wholeheartedly, the foreign enemy will be stronger, In this war, angoo can also win.
The words of the winner are always the most important. The victory of the first World War of zimengguan made Yueze attach great importance to Yan Xi's advice. After some discussion with the Minister of the central court, Yueze finally agreed to reward 300000 sets of plain army and directly subordinate army armour, of which 200000 sets are all soldiers equipped with the two armies, and the other 100000 sets are used as military reserves. If they are damaged, they can be replaced at the first time.
Anguo may not have strong military strength, but the richness of national strength belongs to one and two. It sends 300000 sets of refined steel armor, which is invaluable. Yueze doesn't even blink. For Anguo, this kind of armament is nothing at all.
Yueze's gift can keep Xiao MuQing and Wu Ying from sleeping well for two days. With these armor to secure the country, I don't know how many of our soldiers will be protected from casualties on the battlefield, and the combat effectiveness of the whole army will also be improved by the chief officer.
Ann worked very carefully. When the armor was sent from Yuzhen to the hand of the wind army, the color of the armor had been painted into the customary black of the wind army. Even the details such as the tassel on the helmet were not ignored, and they were uniformly replaced with red.
It can be said that when the armaments funded by angoo are sent, the wind army does not need to do any processing. It can be directly wearable and equipped in the whole army.
Xiao MuQing and Wu Ying asked the soldiers to change their armor at the first time, and then the whole army began intensive training in the barracks.
The leather armor worn by the wind army was much lighter than the steel armor of angoo. Now it has been replaced. The soldiers of the whole army also need some time to adapt, and the plain army and the directly subordinate army will be completely at ease.
The defeated Lu Chen Division 1 soon joined the subsequent Jin Sheng Division 1 and Jiang Yang division 1. The strength of the Huan army suddenly reached 600000, but the situation was still not optimistic.
Now they have the plain army and the directly subordinate army stationed in zimengguan in the south, and the tracked hundred war army in the north. The wind army has sandwiched the Huan army between the South and the north, and it is possible to attack from both sides at any time.
Lu Chen, Jin Sheng and Jiang Yang made a plan. They felt that in the current situation, their own side was dead end no matter to the north, South or East. Now, they can only go west and find opportunities to return to Huanguo.
