Liang Qi politely rejected Li Jin's request on the excuse that the entire army was exhausted from the long journey. However, in order to allow Li Jin to come to Taiwan, he immediately gave Li Chu and Chu a plan, which was to provide supplies at Broken Moon Gate.
Yuemen Pass is built on a mountain, and supplies such as grain, grass, water, weapons, rolling logs and stones all depend on logistical supplies. As long as the supply of Yuemen Pass is cut off, no matter how many Ning troops there are in the pass, they will all be dead in the end.
.
What he said was clear and logical, but there was a supplement in his mind that he did not say. The current commander of Yuemen Pass is Changsun Yuanhong. Based on Changsun Yuanhong's strategy, he would not have thought that the Mo army would adopt a tactic of cutting off its supplies, so he must have taken precautions.
As for whether Mo Jun can break Ning Jun's defense and whether he can successfully cut off the supply of Yuemen Pass, that depends on Mo Jun's ability.
Liang Qi was neither a member of Mo nor Mo's army, so naturally he would not explain it in too much detail to Li Jin. He only proposed the tactics of logistics supply at Broken Moon Gate, and how to implement it was Mo's army's business.
The two armies of Ningmo and Ningxia gathered at Yuemen Pass in Jiashang County to compete with each other in a battle of wits and courage. Let’s not mention it for now, but let’s talk about the Fengjun camp in Hexi.
Changsun Yuanhong and the local army from Yunkou County had already gone to the southern part of Ningguo, and a fierce battle was going on with the Mo army. Tang Yin also began to actively prepare for the westward march.
Now, the new troops in Feng's country are empty, and it is impossible to count on reinforcements. Tang Yin can only rely on the current strength to march directly to Ningdu Liangzhou. The only good thing is that the new army expanded quickly, and the people from Ning joined Feng's army.
Not as difficult as imagined.
That day, early in the morning, Tang Yin sent an order to assemble all the soldiers, set up camp and advance to Xiaoling County.
At Qiu Zhen's suggestion, Tang Yin specially held a large memorial ceremony to worship heaven and earth. He didn't believe it, but the soldiers below did. In order to appease people's hearts, Tang Yin could only be patient and kill cattle again and again.
It is to slaughter chickens, offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, worship ancestors, and sacrifice military flags.
After the memorial ceremony was held, the New Army, the Sky Eagle Army, and the Directly Affiliated Army set off. An army of nearly 300,000 people entered Xiaoling County in a mighty manner.
Along the way, all the checkpoints of the Ning Army were empty. After learning that the main force of the Feng Army was invading, the scattered Ning soldiers withdrew. It was obvious that Lin Han did not want the soldiers below to sacrifice needlessly.
Two days later, the Feng army occupied Daiyun City unimpeded without using a single sword or shot. Of course, Daiyun City had long been an empty city.
This is the third time that the Feng Army has occupied Daiyun City, especially the Sky Eagle Army. They have a lot of feelings about the city. On the day they occupied the city, the soldiers of the Sky Eagle Army came to Ziying one after another and asked him to propose to the king.
Burn down Daiyun City and make this ominous place disappear forever.
Ziying didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the suggestions of the generals below. He just said: "Nonsense!" and nothing more happened. Website
The Feng Army was temporarily stationed in Daiyun City, and the spies from the Sky Eye and Diwang that were sent out earlier returned one after another like a revolving lantern, reporting the Ning Army's movements to Tang Yin.
Now all the Ning troops in Xiaoling County are huddled in the county town of Ningyang. It seems that Lin Han is ready to defend Ningyang.
Tang Yin sneered at this. Since Lin Han wanted to defend Ningyang, let him defend it and see if he could defend Ningyang under the iron hoof of his own army!
He did not waste time and continued to advance westward, heading straight to Ningyang.
Now, the entire city of Ningyang has been sealed off. In addition to the large number of defenders, there are also hundreds of thousands of Ningguo people in the city.
The Ning army worked hard on the defense of Ningyang. It has an outer defense line and an inner defense line. The inner defense line is the city defense of Ningyang itself, and the outer defense line is the three towns and one fortress outside Ningyang. These four places, in
A semi-arc protective shield is formed around Ningyang. If the Feng army wants to attack Ningyang, they must first capture these four key points.
The Feng army set up camp about five miles away from the three towns and one fortress, but the camp was very simple. Even the Chinese military tent was only surrounded by canvas.
Now the Chinese army tent is very lively. Ziying, Guyue, Shangguan Yuanrang, Guantang, Letian, Ai Jia, Cheng Jin and other veteran generals as well as new generals such as Nanye, Li Sheng, Zhang Tong, Yang Mao are all there, and they are on the ground.
A simple sand table was set up, and people gathered around to discuss the attack plan. Eyes from the sky, ground nets, and army spies came in and out, continuously transmitting enemy intelligence to Tang Yin.
After confirming the general situation of the enemy's army, Tang Yin stood up and walked to the sand table. He looked down at the layout of the sand table and was speechless.
Seeing the king coming, people stopped talking and all their eyes fell on him.
After waiting for a moment, Tang Yinfang said slowly: "There are only more than 10,000 Ning troops stationed in the three towns of Shanliu, Guxue, Jingyi and the fortress outside Ningyang. There is nothing to be afraid of. Our army can attack directly.
We can win easily, what do you generals mean?"
Before anyone else could speak, Shangguan Yuanrang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to take the lead in the battle!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, bent down, drew an arc in the sand table according to the location of the three towns and one fortress, and then said: "If we want to attack, we will attack the top of its arc first, the one closest to our army
Shanliu Town. Yuan Rang, I will give you 20,000 soldiers, and send General Li Sheng as your deputy general. Within two hours, I want to see our army's flag standing in the center of Shanliu Town!"
Shangguan Yuanrang intervened to receive the order, then looked at Li Sheng who also received the order, curled his lips and said: "Your Majesty, in a small town, one general is enough for the end, there is no need for deputy generals!"
Of course Tang Yin knew how powerful Shangguan Yuan Rang was, and the reason why he sent Li Sheng was to cheer him up. Tang Yin didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that since Zhou Chang died in the battle, Li Sheng's mood had been very low. It was undoubtedly because of
He took all the responsibility for Zhou Chang's death in battle on himself. It was not easy to get a good general. Tang Yin didn't want him to become depressed. He asked him to go out with Shangguan Yuan in order to restore his fighting spirit.
He glanced at Shangguan Yuanrang and said sternly: "I have made up my mind, don't say more, just act as ordered, go quickly!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Tang Yin spoke firmly, leaving no room for maneuver. Shangguan Yuanrang stopped talking nonsense and strode out of the Chinese military tent.
When he got outside, he said to Li Sheng who was following behind him without looking back: "I lead the troops very quickly, so you have to follow closely. If you lose me, you can't blame me. Also, when we get to the battlefield, I just kill the enemy."
, but I don’t have time to look after you. If you are in danger, just scream a few times. Maybe I will hear you and I might be able to turn around and save you."
When Li Sheng heard this, he almost laughed angrily. Everyone said that Shangguan Yuan was crazy, but he was too crazy. The king sent him to be his deputy, not his oil tank. Li Sheng shook his head secretly and asked someone else to do it.
In this way, he had already turned against Shangguan Yuanrang, but Shangguan Yuanrang was different. He was almost the idol and god of war worshiped by all the generals of the Feng Army. Li Sheng was only one of them. He was able to fight side by side with Shangguan Yuanrang. He truly believed in it.
I was so excited that I could only endure being insulted by him.
He whispered: "Yes! The general will take care of himself. Don't dare bother General Yuan Rang!"
"Huh!" Shangguan Yuanrang said no more.
He knew that Li Sheng was a new general recruited by the Nawu Order. He looked down upon this kind of general who climbed up the ranks not by military merit but by competition, and did not think he could accomplish much.
As soon as Shangguan Yuanrang and Li Sheng left, Tang Yin ordered again: "Nanye, Yang Mao obeys the order!"
"The end is here!"
"I will give you two people, twenty thousand soldiers, to attack Jingyi Town at the end of the arc. Within two hours, kill everyone in the town without any mistakes!"
"The general will obey your orders!"
Nan Ye and Yang Mao took the order and left.
Later, Tang Yin said again: "Zhan Peng, Wei Xuan listens to the order!"
"The end is here!"
"You two will also lead 20,000 soldiers to defeat the fortress at the end of the arc on the other side. I don't need to say more about what to do, right?"
"The general understands that the fortress will be captured within two hours!"
"Yeah! Go ahead!"
Tang Yin issued three military orders and dispatched three groups of 60,000 troops to seize three defensive strongholds at Shanliu, Jingyi and Ningjun fortresses.
Then, he personally led the remaining army to attack Guxue Town.
Although 60,000 people were sent out, the Feng army under Tang Yin's command should have been more than 200,000. Such a huge army could attack a small town and reduce it to the ground in just one step.
However, the defenders of Guxue Town resisted very tenaciously. The number of defenders was not large, only about 3,000, but they set up many traps and traps inside and outside the town.
The Feng army walking in front had just approached Guxue Town and did not even see the shadow of the enemy when they were shot by Ning's army.
The Feng army was poorly prepared and was shot down hundreds of people at once. After the people stabilized their position and put up their shields, they looked closely and found that there were many trenches dug outside the town, and the arrows were shot from the trenches.
After seeing this, Feng Jun was furious and immediately sent out cavalry, intending to charge over with the speed of cavalry and kill all the enemies in the ditch.
However, not long after the cavalry ran out, screams broke out. One after another, the horses stepped on the air and fell into the trap dug in advance. The bottom of the trap was covered with sharp bamboo pliers. If you fell into it, you would be immediately killed.
The stabbings turned into a hornet's nest, and both men and horses perished.
Not even the shadow of the Ning army was seen. First they lost their infantry, and then their cavalry. The general in charge of the front army, Guan Tang, was furious and ordered the cavalry to retreat. The infantry phalanx was to advance up, and all the enemies in the ditch must be wiped out.
The trap is there. If the cavalry steps on it, they will fall into the pit. If the infantry steps on it, it will be equally bad. The infantry of the wind army will fall into the trap all the way forward, and the number of casualties will rise linearly.
The trap laid by the Ning army was forced by the Feng army. Looking back at the battlefield at this time, it was so numb. The ground was full of pits and ditches.
Guantang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and secretly sighed. The king finally used himself to lead the attack, but the result was good. Before the attack reached the town, he had already suffered a lot of casualties.
He repeatedly gave orders to the herald beside him, asking the infantry phalanx in front to speed up, advance into the ditch, and kill all the Ning troops inside.
But when the Feng army advanced to the ditch, they lowered their heads and looked again. There was half a Ning army inside. I don’t know when, and I don’t know what method the other party used. All the Ning soldiers inside had escaped.
