Everyone has a dream in their heart, and Xiao Muqing's dream is to defeat the Huben Army on the battlefield to prove that the Pingyuan Army is the strongest infantry army in the world.
However, it is not easy to defeat the Huben Army. The disadvantage of the infantry against the cavalry is obvious. Moreover, there are still a large number of Mo troops gathering towards the Huben Army. If the Mo army is allowed to gather in one place with the Huben Army as the core, the Pingyuan Army will be defeated.
There is no way he is an opponent.
What Xiao Muqing needs most now is time to fight for a decisive battle with the Huben Army before the Mo army is assembled.
The Pingyuan Army moved southward at an extremely fast speed, like wind and clouds. They captured more than ten towns in the Mo Kingdom. Xiao Muqing did not divide the troops to garrison, but just kept advancing forward. At this time, the Pingyuan Army was quite similar to when the Zhen Army broke into the territory of the Feng Kingdom.
His style is invincible, unstoppable, and he wins consecutive battles.
The Pingyuan Army moved frantically towards the south, getting closer and closer to the Huben Army's camp. Naturally, the Huben Army also heard about it.
Now, Lu Hongming had fled to the Huben Army camp with more than 20,000 remaining defeated generals, and also told Nan Yan, the commander of the Huben Army, about the defeat at the front.
If the Pingyuan Army doesn't come, Nanyan will have to unite his troops to march north to conquer. Now that the Pingyuan Army has come to the door on its own initiative, how can he be polite?
I heard that Feng's army was about to attack Jinshi City. Nan Yan could no longer sit still and planned to mobilize his troops to go out personally.
Jinshi is an important town in Mozambique, located 300 miles north of the Huben Army Camp. It is also one of the main sources of gold in Mozambique. There are many high mountains and ridges near Jinshi City, which are rich in gold deposits, which is also the origin of the name of Jinshi City.
The Feng Army captured other towns, and the southern extension could be tolerated, but Jinshi City must not fall into the hands of the Feng Army. First, the gold mines in Jinshi City are too important to the Mo Kingdom, and secondly, there is a large amount of gold stored in the city.
, if it falls into the hands of Feng Jun, the loss to Mo Country will be too great.
Currently, there are as many as 50,000 troops stationed in Jinshi City, most of them are local troops. In addition, there are two permanent military camps on the east and west sides of the city, with a strength of about 100,000. These troops are all from the Central Army.
The main purpose of stationing in Jinshi City is to protect the gold mines.
The 150,000-strong army was already quite large, and at least it had the capital to compete with the Feng Army. Realizing this, Nanyan decided to send troops north to join forces with the defenders of Jinshi City to annihilate the invading Feng Army. Nanyan also
Before he started ordering troops, Lu Hongming, who had escaped, immediately stood up to stop him.
"General Nan, no, no, never send troops easily!" Lu Hongming was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. His head shook like a rattle.
Seeing this, Nan Yan frowned and asked, "Why did General Lu prevent me from sending troops?"
"Although the Feng Army is not strong in strength, they are the most brave and capable plain army in the Feng Kingdom. Among them are Jiang Fan, Wu Guang and other Feng Kingdom's fierce generals. They are extremely powerful. General Nan should not rush to send troops until all the armies from all over the country have gathered.
Come here, it won't be too late for us to join forces and send troops north to meet the enemy!" Speaking of the Pingyuan Army, Lu Hongming is still frightened and sweating profusely even now.
"Haha——" Nan Yan couldn't help but laugh. He is not a frivolous person. On the contrary, Nan Yan has always been calm. If he was not sure of winning this time, how could he take action rashly? In his opinion, the cavalry
They have an inherent advantage against infantry, and Jinshi also has more than 100,000 troops of our own country. As long as they can cooperate with the Tiger and Ben Army, it will not be a problem to completely annihilate the Feng Army.
"Does General Lu think that our Tiger Army is no match for Feng Army?"
"No, no, no, General Nan misunderstood, I never meant that..."
Before he could finish speaking, Nan Yan waved his hand and said calmly: "The Pingyuan Army may be brave and good at fighting, but it is an infantry army after all. It is impossible to compete with our Tiger and Beni Army head-on! What's more, the Feng Army has almost arrived at Jinshi. Jinshi
The important land generals of our country should be very clear and must not make any mistakes. Therefore, our army must reinforce Jinshi. If we wait for other armies to gather here, it is not certain whether Jinshi can be saved by then. Once there is
It’s a loss, neither you nor I can bear this responsibility.”
If Nan Yan said something else, Lu Hongming could still refute a few words, but when he heard the word responsibility, he immediately shut up. Thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Nan Yan said made sense. The Pingyuan Army only had 100,000 people, and the Tigers were fierce.
The army has one hundred thousand cavalry, and together with the Jinshi garrison, it is more than enough to compete with the Pingyuan Army.
He lowered his head and said no more. Nan Yan smiled leisurely and consoled him: "Don't worry, General Lu. Our army will definitely win this battle. Not only will it avenge General Lu's ambush, but it will also greatly dampen the spirit of the Feng Kingdom."
!”
I hope so! Lu Hongming was really scared by the Pingyuan Army. It was obvious that the advantages in all aspects were on his side, but he just felt flustered, as if something bad was going to happen. Nanyan did not wait for the Mo troops from all directions to gather.
, led the Huben army to go to Jinshi City first. The Huben army’s camp was only a few hundred miles away from Jinshi City. With the speed of the Huben army, it only took half a day to reach Jinshi.
Knowing that the Huben Army had arrived, Gongsun Yao, the commander of the Mo Army stationed in Jinshi City, was very happy and greeted him personally. Nan Yan was a lieutenant general, and Gongsun Yao was also a lieutenant general. However, the Huben Army was well-known, and as the commander of the Huben Army, Nan Yan's status was higher than that of the Huben Army.
Gongsun Yao is relatively taller.
Originally, Gongsun Yao planned to defend Jinshi City, but now that the Tiger Army has arrived, he no longer has to defend it and can fully open up his posture and engage in a face-to-face contest with the Feng Army.
His thoughts were consistent with Nan Yan's. Nan Yan came all the way here not to defend the city, but to annihilate the enemy. This could be seen from the camp where the Huben Army was stationed.
The Huben Army set up camp due north of Jinshi City, which is the direction from which Feng Army came. Nanyan's intention was very clear. If Feng Army wanted to attack Jinshi City, they had to pass through his Huben Army camp and fight with him first.
The Tiger and Ben troops launched a decisive battle.
On the third day after Huben's army arrived at Jinshi City, Feng's army also arrived.
When the officers and soldiers of the Pingyuan Army saw the layout of Jinshi City, people couldn't help but secretly take a breath. There is a Mo army camp on the east and west sides of Jinshi City. Judging from its size, each camp can accommodate at least five people.
There were tens of thousands of people, and there was a large camp just north of Jinshi City. The military flag erected high at the camp gate had the word "Hu Ben" written on it.
These three military camps tightly surrounded Jinshi City. It was impossible for the Feng army to even approach the city, let alone attack the city.
Xiao Muqing was not as nervous as the generals. He was relaxed and had a calm smile on his face. After looking around for a while, Fang rushed around and asked, "The military camp directly north of Jinshi City seems to be the Huben Army camp?"
Isn’t this nonsense? The military flag clearly says the words Huben. If you don’t tell me, come on. Who else could it be? Who else could it be? General Youfeng handed over his hand and replied: "Yes, General, it seems that Mo Jun has already arrived in Jinshi City."
We have already made arrangements, but if our army wants to attack by force, we are afraid...it will be difficult to win."
"Ha!" Xiao Muqing laughed out loud, changed the topic, and asked: "The camp of the Huben Army is neither on the left nor on the right of the Jinshi, but it is in the north. Why is this?
"
"Obviously we are going to start a decisive battle with our army!" the generals replied in unison.
Xiao Muqing nodded and said with a smile: "That's very good." After saying this inexplicable sentence, he turned around and walked back to check how his camp was arranged.
All the generals looked at each other in confusion. The enemy's fighting spirit was so strong. How come the coach not only wasn't worried, but also thought it was 'very good'? Everyone shook their heads, but they couldn't figure out what Xiao Muqing was thinking.
The Pingyuan Army moved quickly, and soon a simple camp was built in prototype. Xiao Muqing did not have high requirements for the camp, and did not expect it to be strong, as long as it could allow his soldiers to rest.
In the extremely simple Chinese military tent, Xiao Muqing ordered the sand table to be arranged first, and then gathered the generals together and stood around the sand table.
He pointed at the sand table and said: "It is reported that the two camps in the east and west of Jinshi City were originally stationed in Jinshi City, each with 50,000 Mozambique Central Army troops. Inside the city, there are 50,000 local troops.
Guard, now, the Huben army has set up camp in the north of the city. If we calculate based on the Tiger and Ben troops coming out in full force, the total enemy force in Jinshi City should exceed 250,000."
After listening to his story, all the generals frowned. The opponent was a 250,000-strong Mo army, while our own side had less than 100,000 troops. There was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. The most terrible thing was that our side was still the attacking side. With 100,000 troops,
Only a madman would attack a city garrisoned by 250,000 people.
"General!" Shang Xing, commander of the Second Corps, said with a worried look on his face: "The enemy has a large number of troops, including the cavalry regiment and the Tiger Army. Once a battle occurs, it will be extremely detrimental to our army. In the opinion of the general, our army is not as good as the first one."
Temporarily avoid its sharp edge and go around the city..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Muqing's face had already darkened. He interrupted Shang Xing and asked, "When did our Pingyuan Army ever fear the enemy and be frightened to take a detour?"
Shang Xing was shaken and hurriedly stepped in to salute: "No, no, no, general, this is not what I meant..."
"Okay, don't say any more." Xiao Muqing said coldly: "Although there are many enemy troops, they are just a bunch of grassroots. Our army will first defeat the Tiger Army and then capture Jinshi City."
It sounds easy to say this, but how can we defeat the Tiger and Ben Army? The Tiger and Ben Army is the most famous cavalry regiment in the country of Mo with its fast speed and superior combat effectiveness. Our infantry is being restrained by the enemy. When the two armies are fighting head-on, our own army is absolutely
No chance of winning!
Of course Xiao Muqing could understand the concerns of the generals. Even Shang Xing, who was usually so impulsive, showed a worried expression at this time. He slowly looked around the generals, paused for a while, then smiled slightly and said: "In your eyes,
The Huben Army may be an invincible opponent, but in my opinion, our army can completely annihilate the enemy in one battle and eliminate the Huben Army from now on!
