The Zhen army headed by Li Cheng went deep into the hinterland of Feng State, fighting from Baguan to the vicinity of Yancheng, the capital of Feng. It can be said that they swept across the central and southern parts of Feng State, forcing the Feng State court to move their capital, but in the end they failed to get out of Feng State.
country.
Li Cheng was not defeated by the Feng army, but by a rare snowstorm. If the Zhen army could have plundered some cotton clothes when looting property, the outcome of this battlefield might have been fundamentally different.
change.
But things went wrong, and Li Cheng and almost all of his 150,000 troops were killed in Fengdi.
This crisis in the capital of Feng Kingdom was actually resolved by a sudden snowstorm, which was unexpected by everyone.
Southwest battlefield of Feng Kingdom.
The Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces' attack on Jinyang was blocked. They lost many generals and their morale was low. The most terrible thing was that two logistics strongholds were successfully attacked by the Feng Army one after another, causing the army of more than 600,000 people to lose supplies. Now, the Sichuan-Zhenren Allied Forces are in a difficult situation.
, both embarrassing and critical.
The commander of the coalition forces, Ren Fang, ordered to use trebuchets to throw stone bombs day and night, which was bound to flatten the outer city of Jinyang and clear the way for his own army to attack the city. Ren Fang knew very well that his own Hefeng army could not afford to drag it down, and there was no food and grass in the military camp.
It's not enough. If we wait for grain and fodder to be delivered from China, it will take at least one or two months. How can the army hold on for that long?
Now we must fight quickly and win Jinyang as soon as possible.
However, it was not so smooth when the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces used trebuchets to destroy the houses in the outer city of Jinyang. During the day, the Fengjun did not dare to take any action, but at night, the dark spiritual cultivators headed by Tang Yin sneaked out of the city one after another.
, sneak attack on Sichuan's heavy trebuchet, causing trouble for the opponent.
In the dark night, dark spiritual cultivators appeared and appeared, too strange and difficult to guard against. Sichuan's heavy trebuchets were frequently damaged. In the end, Ren Fang had no choice but to give up using the trebuchets at night and only use them during the day.
, the damage to the outer city of Jinyang became much slower.
Ren Xing knew clearly that continuing like this was definitely not the way to go, but how to defeat Jinyang, he couldn't think of a good way for a while.
On this day, Ren Fang was sitting in the Chinese army's tent, studying the topographic map of Jinyang. The more he looked at it, the more upset he became. He folded up the map, took a hard photo, and then asked Jin Zhuo beside him: "Is there any Li?"
Give me the news from the general?"
Jin Zhuo smiled and replied: "A few days ago, the Zhen Army just received a reply from General Li Cheng, saying that the army had captured Fengcheng and was preparing to march to Wancheng. According to time calculation, if the march goes well, Li Cheng
General Cheng should have entered Wancheng by now and is resting and preparing to attack Yancheng, the capital of wind."
"Really?" Li Cheng's side only had 150,000 people, but the battle was going so smoothly and overwhelmingly. However, there were more than 600,000 troops on his side, but they were blocked by the small Jinyang and could not advance or retreat. It seems that
, I need to take a good look at myself! Ren Xin sighed secretly, rolled his eyes, and murmured: "If Wancheng is broken, Yancheng will be in danger. As the Wind King, Tang Yin should immediately
It’s only after we get the news, but looking at the Fengjun in Jinyang City, they are very calm, and it doesn’t look like the capital is about to fall.”
This is quite strange. Jin Zhuo suspected: "Perhaps Feng Jun is pretending to be calm. Feng Jun must also understand that if they return to the capital for rescue at this time, they will inevitably be hunted by our army, and will also lead the main force of our army to
The Yancheng side is even more unfavorable to Feng Country."
It was not unreasonable for him to say this, but Ren Fang always felt that things were not that simple. The Feng army was too stable, and there was no urgency that the capital was in danger. It was also true that Li Cheng had fought consecutive battles in the central and southern areas of Feng country, and even suffered a great defeat.
The Chifeng Army, one of the main armies of the Feng Kingdom... Ren Fang rubbed his sore forehead. The Feng Army's performance at this time could only be described as confusing and unbelievable.
Feeling depressed and panicked, Ren Fang didn't want to stay in the Zhongjun tent any longer. He stood up and said, "Let's go out for a walk."
"Yes! General!" Jin Zhuo followed Ren Fang out of the central military tent and wandered around the camp.
As they walked, Jin Zhuo asked in confusion: "General, why do our army have to smash the outer city of Jinyang and then attack the city? Even if there are obstacles, if we attack the city with all our strength, it is possible to capture Jinyang.
"
"There are many obstacles and threats, and the casualties will be huge." Ren Fang turned his head, looked at Jin Zhuo, and said quietly: "The king has great ambitions, which means that our country will have many big battles in the future. Now
If you can lose one soldier and one general, you should lose as little as possible; if you can bring back more soldiers and generals, you should bring as many as possible."
Jin Zhuo took a breath, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "After defeating the wind, we will welcome back the emperor. Do we have to fight again?"
"Haha!" Ren Fang chuckled and said no more. The king is so anxious to take back the emperor, not to enshrine the emperor, but to replace him. When dynasties change, all the countries in the world will definitely be dissatisfied, and there will still be battles to fight.
There are so many! But I can't say this out loud, I can only think about it in my heart.
Seeing the hidden meaning of Ren Fang's smile, Jin Zhuo scratched his hair and didn't understand what he meant. Jin Zhuo was an excellent general, but unlike Ren Fang, he was also an excellent politician.
When Ren Fang walked to a tent, he suddenly stopped and stood there listening to something. Jin Zhuo came forward and listened carefully.
Rough complaints came from the camp: "I think the general is too stubborn and can't turn his head. Jinyang is not easy to fight, so don't fight. Look at the Zhenjun, they have found another way. It is said that they have already gone all the way."
We have reached Yancheng..."
Hearing this, Jin Zhuo's expression changed, and he secretly thought how bold he was! He dared to rebuke the general, how dare he? Thinking about this, he clenched his sword and prepared to rush into the camp.
Ren Fang reached out to grab his wrist and shook his head slightly at him. Jin Zhuo thought that Ren Fang would be angry, but he didn't expect that he looked thoughtful at this time.
Jin Zhuo's heart moved and he asked in a low voice: "The general is not really going to attack Yancheng, is he?" Now the army is short of food and grass. There are hundreds of thousands of troops. I am afraid that they will run out of food before they reach Yancheng.
Of course, Ren Fang would not be stupid enough to attack Yancheng, but the complaints of the sergeants in the camp were right, and it also reminded him why he had to struggle with the Feng army in Jinyang? There are pine hills around Jinyang, and Ning
The three cities of Ding and Taifeng. As long as we send troops to capture these three cities, Jinyang will become an isolated and dangerous city. The enemy forces inside can be trapped to death. In addition, we can capture the three cities of Songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng.
Another advantage is that it can solve the problem of food and grass for his own army. He can completely imitate Li Cheng and plunder on the spot, using the food and grass from Feng Kingdom to make up for his own shortcomings.
After thinking about this clearly, Ren Fang was shocked. Without stopping, he turned around and returned to the central military tent. At the same time, he ordered the guards beside him to go to Nie Ze and said that he had something urgent to discuss with him.
Seeing Ren Fang's high-spirited look at this time, he looked completely different from when he was upset just now. Jin Zhuo guessed that Ren Fang had a plan to defeat the enemy, but he didn't know what the specific method was, and he didn't dare to ask more.
.
Not long after Ren Fang and Jin Zhuo returned to the Zhongjun tent, Nie Ze and several Zhenjun generals came closer with their heads held high. Li Cheng's side had won consecutive battles and was close to Yancheng, the capital of wind, which made Nie Ze even more excited.
Feeling the glory, he walked like a tiger with a strong wind, and he was even more proud in front of Ren Fang.
Seeing Ren Fang, the Zhenjun stepped in and saluted, but Nie Ze just slightly arched his hands and asked: "Commander Ren, you are here to come. I don't know what you want to discuss."
Ren Fang didn't care about Nie Ze's arrogance. Of course, he also had the ability to be arrogant. He waved his hand with a smile, motioning for Nie Ze to sit aside, and then asked: "General Nie, what do you think of the current war situation?"
"What's your opinion?" Nie Ze sneered. His opinion was brought up before, but was rejected by Ren Fang. He said: "My opinion is the same as before. Don't hit the outer city. The army will press forward and attack Jin Dynasty."
Yang, rush in at once and get into trouble."
Ren Fang nodded thoughtfully and said: "General Nie's strategy also makes sense. However, I have another idea. I don't know if it is feasible, so I came to discuss it with General Nie."
His attitude and tone were too modest, like doing Tai Chi. Even if Nie Ze had a lot of dissatisfaction and opinions towards Ren Fang, he had no way to vent his dissatisfaction and opinions. He sighed secretly and said, "If you have any ideas, Commander Ren, please just tell me."
!”
After pondering for a moment, Ren Fang slowly said: "Our army has been attacked successively in Mo Country and Feng Country where we have stockpiled supplies. Now our army is in short supply of food and grass and has insufficient armaments. The longer the war drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be to our army...
…”
Before he finished speaking, Nie Ze slapped his thigh heavily and said, "Shuai Ren, you have figured it out! What do you think? Just do it my way and attack Jinyang!"
Ren said calmly and calmly: "We must attack, but our target is not Jinyang."
"What? Not Jinyang? Where is that?"
"Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng are the three cities." Ren Fang said seriously: "These three cities, together with our army's camp, form exactly four points, tightly surrounding Jinyang. As long as our army captures these three
Land can turn Jinyang into an isolated city. At that time, our army can plunder the food of the three cities and surrounding villages and towns to fill the needs of the army. In this way, our army will not only solve the urgent need, but also cut off the supply of Jinyang.
There are hundreds of thousands of Feng troops in Yangcheng. If they were trapped for ten days and a half, the Feng troops would perish without a fight."
After hearing this, Nie Ze's eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly said something brilliant! His style is fierce, but he can also distinguish which strategies are feasible and which strategies are difficult to implement. In his opinion, the idea of letting go is the best policy.
, at least it is much better than storming Jinyang, allowing our side to achieve the greatest victory with the least casualties.
He pondered for a while, nodded, and said with admiration: "Commander Ren is worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. He is really good at coming up with strange plans. I think... this plan is feasible!"
Ren Fang smiled. To capture Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng, we cannot do without the support of Zhenjun. Nie Ze's attitude is crucial. Seeing that he agreed, Ren Fang was completely relieved. He said: "Okay!
Since General Nie has no objection, let us allocate how to attack."
