The issues Xiao Xuan considered were also very practical. He and Tang Yin basically had the same idea. Zhen must be destroyed quickly, and the Zheng court must not be allowed enough time to summon armies from all over the country. In this way, the battle against Zhen would be
It is more difficult than ever.-
In addition, the Sichuan Army's baggage is too much. Large weapons such as siege equipment and combat equipment not only increase the Sichuan Army's combat power, but also make its movements extremely slow. As Xiao Xuan himself said, the Sichuan Army now wants to withdraw.
In Xinfeng County, the army's baggage was easily attacked by the local army in Xinfeng County.
Due to various considerations, Xiao Xuan gave up on rescuing the Anhuan coalition. However, he was not worried that the Anhuan coalition would be dispersed or even annihilated by the Zhen army, because Canglin County and Anhuan bordered the two countries.
The reserve army can enter the county at any time. Although the Zhen army is powerful, Anhuan and Huan can also use the human sea tactic to defeat the Zhen army.
Tang Yin and Lingshuang, who also received the distress message, had completely opposite reactions.
Lingshuang snickered and secretly felt happy, thinking that the Anhuan coalition forces would be punished for their evil deeds, and they would suffer for themselves. If they had been willing to come to aid their side, they would have been in Guping County now, and they would not have been blocked in Canglin by the Zhen army, so their side would never have been able to do so.
Shouldn't pull back to rescue them.
Tang Yin's opinion was exactly opposite to that of Ling Shuang, and he believed that his side should immediately rescue the Anhuan coalition. Although the Anhuan coalition was not on the front line, it was not dispensable to the Six Nations coalition. If they were really defeated by the Zhen army,
, not only is our logistics supply line cut off, but Canglin County will also be recaptured by the Zhen Army. At that time, the Fengyu Allied Forces and the Sichuan-Mo Allied Forces will become the only forces deep into the hinterland of Zhen Kingdom, and the situation will become precarious.
Lingshuang disagreed with Tang Yin's statement. If it was true as he said, how could the Sichuan-Moscow coalition turn a blind eye to the Anhuan coalition's plea for help and must take action. But now the news they have received is that the Sichuan-Mobile coalition is still there.
Moving westward, there is no intention of retreating for rescue.
Tang Yin also expressed difficulty in understanding this, but just because the Sichuan-Mobile coalition could sit back and ignore it, it did not mean that the Fengyu coalition could do the same. For the sake of his own safety, he still insisted on retreating to rescue the Anhuan coalition. Tang Yin and Lingshuang were there
There was a lot of analysis on the issue of whether to rescue the Anhuan coalition forces. Each one refused to give in and insisted on their own opinions. In the end, Tang Yin also lost his patience and directly expressed to Lingshuang that he and Lingshuang should also use the tactics of dividing their forces.
The army continued to advance westward, and the Feng army retreated for rescue.
Upon hearing that the troops were to be divided and the Jade Army was allowed to march westward alone, Lingshuang's attitude immediately softened.
There is no way. This is not because Lingshuang is weak, but the Jade Army really does not have that strength. Even if it does not move westward and just stays in place, the Jade Army may not be able to withstand the local army in Guping County.
Under Tang Yin's insistence, Lingshuang had no choice but to compromise, and the Fengyu coalition slowly retreated from Guping County to Canglin County.
The reason for the slow retreat was also what Tang Yin meant. He was waiting for the Anhuan coalition and the Zhen army to fight first to see how the battle went. If the Anhuan coalition won, the Fengyu coalition rushed back and took advantage of the situation to give them a blow.
Lost dog, if the Anhuan coalition fails, the Fengyu coalition will appear again, which will undoubtedly be a timely help, and the effect will be much better than before the two sides started fighting.
Let us also say that the Zhen army led by Gu Anmin launched a fierce attack on the Anhuan coalition camp with almost thunderous momentum.
The two sides were 400,000 to 400,000, with equal strength. The Anhuan coalition was on the defensive. The soldiers had camps to rely on and had a huge geographical advantage. The Zhen army came from afar and was exhausted. Logically speaking, the Anhuan coalition should take the initiative.
, but the battle situation was exactly the opposite. The attacking Zhen army completely occupied the advantage of the battlefield and launched a large-scale siege against the huge Anhuan coalition camp.
The two sides fought for only one afternoon, and the Anhuan coalition forces had already suffered heavy losses.
Especially the An army, the soldiers wore the strongest and most gorgeous armor at the time, and used the sharpest and finest steel weapons at the time. However, when facing the Zhen army with backward equipment, they were often defeated in one blow, and those who guarded the wall
The soldiers were defeated in droves.
The Huan army that originally fought alongside them still had some combat effectiveness, but due to the influence of the vulnerable An army, their combat effectiveness was also reduced sharply. After a fierce battle throughout the afternoon, the Anhuan coalition camp was breached by the Zhen army for no less than six months.
Fortunately, the two armies fought tooth and nail to snatch it back, otherwise, the Anhuan coalition would have been defeated even faster.
When it was noon, the Zhen army temporarily retreated, and the entire army camped outside the camp of the Anhuan coalition to rest and recuperate, preparing to deal the most fatal blow to the Anhuan coalition.
On the other side, the Anhuan coalition camp was lifeless and morale was low. The wails of the wounded soldiers in the camp were loud, which made the soldiers of the Anhuan and Huan armies who were already afraid of the Zhen army even more panicked.
, many soldiers who had never been on the battlefield were so frightened that they could not even hold their weapons firmly.
In the Chinese army tent, Yue Ze and Li Xin were furious, asking their subordinates repeatedly why the Fengyu coalition hadn't arrived yet? Didn't they say they had retreated? Why hadn't they arrived yet?
An and Huan generals all lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe. They did not know more about the situation than Yue Ze and Li Xin. As for why the Fengyu coalition forces that had withdrawn to assist had not arrived yet, how could they
Know the reason.
Just when Yue Ze and Li Xin were angry with their generals, the casualties of the two armies were counted. After half a day of fighting, the An army suffered about 20,000 casualties, and the Huan army suffered more than 20,000 casualties. The total casualties of the two armies were
There are almost 50,000 people.
After hearing his side's battle losses, Yue Ze trembled and said to Li Xin: "Brother Wang, I think... if we continue to fight like this, the Fengyu Allied Forces have not arrived yet, and the soldiers of our two armies will have to fight first.
Empty."
Li Xin had no idea at this time. He asked: "Brother Wang means..."
"Break out!" Yue Ze said in a trembling voice with a pale face: "Only by breaking out, you and I will have a way to survive! Otherwise, if the Zhen Army comes in, you and I... I'm afraid neither of us will survive!"
Hearing this, Li Xinwei'an's body was also shocked. Thinking of what Huan Jun had done in Zhen Kingdom in recent days, if he fell into the hands of Zhen Jun, he might have suffered much torture.
He swallowed hard, nodded repeatedly, and responded: "What Brother Wang said makes sense! Just... according to Brother Wang's opinion, we will break out!"
Hearing that they both decided to break out, the generals of the two armies grinned in unison.
Huan's general Shang Yuan hurriedly said: "You two gentlemen, you must not break out of the encirclement! We are guarding the camp and there is still a stronghold to rely on. Once we break out, there will be no danger to defend. Furthermore,
We have a lot of baggage and cannot outrun the lightly-armed Zhen army. I hope you two will take back your orders and secure the camp!"
The baggage in the Anhuan Allied Forces Camp is not only large, it can be described as huge. All the supplies for the Six Nations Allied Forces are here, including food, military pay, armaments, supplies, etc. To break out of the encirclement with so many things is nothing like committing suicide.
the difference.
Other generals also advised Yue Ze and Li Xin to wait, maybe the Fengyu coalition forces would arrive soon.
But Yue Ze and Li Xin were used to being pampered and did not have the courage and courage to place their wealth and life on others. It would be fine if the Fengyu Allied Forces arrived immediately, but what if they did not arrive? Wait until their own side and the Zhen Army fight to the death and suffer heavy casualties.
At that time, I couldn't even break out even if I wanted to.
These two princes who were greedy for life and feared death agreed. No matter how the generals below persuaded them, they made up their mind to break through immediately. As for the heavy baggage, they gave up all the heavy baggage and the whole army broke out lightly. The direction of the breakout was to the east.
Within the territory of Sichuan.
Yue Ze and Li Xin planned to break out of the siege to the east and flee to the Sichuan Kingdom for refuge. Coincidentally, when the Zhen Army launched the second siege, the attacks from all directions were fierce, but the attack on the east side was weak.
The number of Zhenjun who went into battle was also the smallest.
With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could the two Li people miss it? The two kings both ordered to open the Dongying Gate and the entire army broke out to the east.
Obviously, the Zhen army did not expect that the Anhuan coalition forces would suddenly break out of the camp. The Zhen army fighting in the east was caught off guard by the sudden Anhuan coalition forces. Due to lack of preparation, the Zhen army in the east quickly
It collapsed to the north and south sides.
Seeing the opportunity, the Anhuan coalition forces couldn't miss the opportunity. The whole army rushed out of the camp and fled eastward.
Yue Ze and Li Xin thought that they had seized the opportunity cleverly and finally succeeded in breaking through. Little did they know that the reason why the Zhen Army invested so little force in the east was entirely a trap set by Gu Anmin for them.
Through the battle at noon, Gu Anmin has seen that the Anhuan coalition only looks good, but is actually very weak and is no match for his own side. Both Jia Yueze and Li Xin are monarchs, cowardly in nature, greedy for life, and afraid of death.
With the battle situation so passive, the two of them might have plans to break out.
Rather than allowing the Anhuan coalition forces to have camps to rely on and defend, it is better to release them so that the enemy loses the geographical advantage, and the battle becomes easier for our own side.
Out of this calculation, Gu Anmin deliberately weakened the offensive in the east and deliberately gave the Anhuan coalition forces a chance to break through.
He was indeed right. Yue Ze and Li Xin, a pair of fearful and unlucky people, led the Anhuan coalition to break out from the east.
Breaking through the tight siege, the Anhuan coalition forces fled frantically toward the Sichuan Kingdom like a bereaved dog.
The two armies were running together, and the wounded soldiers were also lost. Now at the critical moment of life and death, everyone is running for their lives, and where can they take care of their injured brothers?
As a result, the Anhuan coalition forces only escaped ten miles away. Suddenly, war drums roared in front, and shouts of killing broke out. Hundreds of thousands of Zhen troops seemed to fall from the sky, blocking the path of the Anhuan coalition forces.
After Yue Ze and Li Xin looked at it, they were frightened out of their wits. At this time, they finally realized that they had fallen into Zhen's army's trick. They hurriedly ordered the rear army to become the front army, and all of them retreated to the camp.
, but there is still no time.
The 300,000 Zhenjun led by Gu Anmin had already chased the Anhuan coalition. They were not in a hurry to attack. Two waves of Zhenjun, one after the other, merged together and surrounded the more than 300,000 Anhuan coalition.
There are three floors inside and three floors outside, which are watertight.
