An Yi's commander-in-chief Li Jing and the troops outside the city evacuated, and the coalition forces inside the city and the west city wall were no match for Xinwuwei!
Nearly half of the Xinwu guards, led by Wu Xin himself, quickly captured the wall from the inside, thus speeding up the suppression within the city.
The more than 700,000 infantry coalition led by Li Jing and the 30,000 thunder cavalry who stayed outside the city to guard the more than 30,000 Xinwuwei war horses could not be destroyed in a moment of fighting.
Fifty thousand new cavalry led by Zhai Rang, Cheng Yaojin and others arrived soon after. In addition, the civil war in the city had calmed down a lot, and the Xinwu Guards showed signs of leaving the city. Li Jing had no choice but to lead his troops to evacuate, leaving behind more than 100,000 corpses.
Among them, 10% are from the coalition forces and 10% to 20% are from the Lijun cavalry.
More than 600,000 coalition troops were spread all over the mountains and plains. As soon as they retreated to the border of Anyi County, they encountered 300,000 Beidi cavalry who came quickly for reinforcements. Together, the two sides did not dare to counterattack Anyi County, but they set up camp on the border of Anyi County.
Seal Xinwuwei, Hulei Cavalry and others in the Anyi County area.
Of course, the more important role is to guard against elite cavalry such as Xinwuwei and Hulei cavalry, so as to prevent the elite cavalry of the Li army, who come and go with amazing combat power, from raiding the rear of the coalition forces and cutting off the coalition's supply routes.
…
Following the burning of logistics supplies in Pengcheng, an important logistics city, Anyi County, a newly established important logistics city, was captured again. The impact on the coalition forces can be imagined.
The coalition forces, which were originally full of momentum and confidence and wanted to attack the Lidu city in one go and fight the Li army, suddenly stopped and quickly withdrew the coalition forces east of the Grand Canal to around Jinhu City on the west bank of the Grand Canal.
The coalition forces made this decision because, firstly, there was a serious shortage of logistical supplies and they needed to be distributed centrally and to reduce supply routes and pressure; secondly, the troops were too dispersed and they were afraid of being defeated by the Lijun army; thirdly, they were afraid that the Lijun army would cut off the Grand Canal, causing the east side of the Grand Canal to be blocked.
The Western coalition forces were unable to communicate and respond.
As a result, the five-nation coalition forces gathered in the Jinhu area, unable to invade the south and unwilling to withdraw from the north, and a stalemate ensued.
What's more serious is that the Five-Nation Allied Forces are now "semi-surrounded" in Jinhu. Only the route to Xuyi County in the northwest is still under control. Although the rest are not blocked by the Li army, they are not safe.
It is easy to be attacked by the Li army, at least the logistics supply army dare not leave!
The war ceased and the years passed by.
Time flies to October of the second year of Da Li. It has been nearly half a year since the Allied Forces of the Five Nations invaded the south. It cannot be said that they have achieved no results, but they have not achieved their main goal and have fallen into an embarrassing position.
In the past two or three months, there have been no major battles between the five-nation coalition forces and Li Guo, but small battles have continued.
The Five-Nation Allied Forces took the opportunity to replenish logistical supplies, stabilize military morale, and regroup; Li Guo took the opportunity to recruit troops aggressively to make up for the large gap in the Li Army's strength due to the cavalry storm.
Seeing that the harsh winter is approaching, the pressure on both the Li army and the five-nation coalition forces has soared. The smell of gunpowder between the two sides is getting stronger, and the war conflicts cruising around are becoming more and more intense.
Jinhu is located in the middle of Xuyi, Anyi, and Yongfu counties. It is surrounded by three lakes: Baima Lake, Baoying Lake, and Gaoyou Lake. The terrain is higher in the west and lower in the east. The north, east, and south are lake plains with alternating lakes.
With a dense network of rivers and beautiful scenery, it is known as the "Land of Fish and Rice", "Pearl on the Huai River", "Golden Lake in the Water Town", and "Little Jiangnan".
The military camps of the Five Nations Allied Forces are vast and boundless. They are densely packed and stretch for more than a hundred miles. Even if they do not deliberately concentrate their fighting spirit, there are also natural evil clouds covering the sky, which is heart-stopping.
In addition, the geographical conditions of Jinhu territory are not suitable for cavalry operations or large-scale battles. This is the main reason why the two sides have been in a stalemate for so long.
…
Anyi County.
For several months, Wu Xin has been personally in charge of Anyi County due to its special and important location.
However, originally there were only more than 30,000 Xinwu Guards, 30,000 Hulei cavalry and 50,000 cavalry. Now, through the transportation of the Grand Canal, an additional 300,000 infantry troops have been mobilized to help guard Anyi.
It is worth mentioning that the only land to the west of Anyi County, which is surrounded by water on three sides, is still blocked by the coalition military camp. The coalition forces did not take the initiative to attack, but only prevented the Anyi troops from attacking!
The main mansion of Anyi County.
Wu Xin has been in charge for several months, and no fighting has occurred. However, his time is not wasted, but he has realized and clearly understood the magical power of the God Refining Realm...
Control the mountains and rivers!
It is still a method of condensing thousands of sects into one, but it only adds the power of the Ninth Divine Treasure "Destiny Treasure", making "controlling mountains and rivers" have the profound meaning of "fate makes me live and die."
To put it simply, it is like "controlling mountains and rivers" in the past, just like hitting a person with a huge brick. Now it has added the power of superficial destiny. The brick is sure to hit, and the target can only be blocked, but cannot be avoided!
It may not seem like a big difference, but it makes the power of "Controlling Mountains and Rivers" soar countless times. After all, there are really not many people in the world who can confront Wu Xin's attacker head-on.
The power of fate is so mysterious that Wu Xin cannot truly understand it at all. He just uses the power of the Ninth Divine Treasure to integrate it into his own methods. However, in the blink of an eye, it takes a few months to prove the principle that "cultivation has no time".
While he was in retreat, the gentle and soft voice of Mr. Hua came into the secret room:
"Report to my king! The Anbu reported that the coalition forces are about to send troops to attack Yongfu City, hoping to reach Lidu before the severe winter and end the war!"
During Wu Xin's seclusion, no one dared to interrupt no matter how big the issue was.
However, some major events will still be reported in time. Knowing that Wu Xin can hear it, there is no guarantee whether there will be a reaction!
"Decisive battle? It's time!"
Eunuch Hua made his report as usual and was about to leave when Wu Xin's figure suddenly appeared in front of the secret room door like a teleport and murmured to himself.
After a pause, he quickly asked: "How are we preparing our army now?"
"Congratulations to my king for enlightening the supernatural power and enlightening me on the great road!"
As soon as Wu Xin appeared, Hua Gonggong, Xinwu's imperial guards and others present all bowed to congratulate him.
The realm of supernatural powers in the later stage of spiritual training is not difficult to say, but easy to say. As long as you have a clear understanding of yourself, you can enter the realm of supernatural powers for the first time. It is a way of removing the dregs and retaining the essence of your own cultivation, state of mind, etc., and condensing your understanding.
Strength will naturally increase accordingly.
Today's Wu Xin is already in the late stage of true god refining, but because his ambition is too great, his magical power is a great fusion of thousands of sects, the power of the emperor, the power of destiny, etc., so he is just entering for the first time and is still far from perfection.
.
Wu Xin nodded, and Eunuch Hua no longer had any more polite congratulations, and consciously reported on the changes in the past few months.
After several months of hard work, the troops from all walks of life that suffered heavy casualties have been basically restored in organization and training levels are almost the same. They can handle the decisive battle without any shortage of troops!
At this time, the generals of Sanbao and the seven town generals were already deployed in a semicircle around the boundary of Jinhu, ready for orders at any time.
Of course, now that the news from the Liguo Shadow Mansion has come, it means that the five-nation coalition is also ready and has solved the logistics and integration problems!
