With the arrival of reinforcements from the Zhenguo local army, the morale of the Sichuan-Mobile coalition began to collapse rapidly, and their fighting spirit became weaker and weaker. If one local army can come to reinforce, then there will probably be a second, third or even more.
Many local troops are coming in a steady stream, and this is not the end of the world. Even if we can kill all the Zhenguo Central Army in front of us, we still cannot win this battle in the end because the other side has countless reinforcements.
But our side is fighting alone.
When the two sides fought to this extent, they were competing for their morale. Once the Sichuan-Moscow coalition's morale was vented, the situation on the battlefield immediately changed. The officers and soldiers of both armies gradually could not withstand the fierce attacks of the Zhen army and began to retreat steadily.
For the Sichuan-Moscow coalition, the large weapons in the rear are the most powerful support for the entire army's combat power. However, as the soldiers in the front retreated, Ma exposed the large weapons in the rear to the Zhen army's attacks, and lost
Without the support of large weapons, the Sichuan-Moscow coalition forces were defeated faster, and then more large weapons were directly attacked by the Zhen army. This was a vicious circle.
The so-called defeat is like a mountain falling, this saying is suitable to apply to the Sichuan-Moscow Allied Army. Soon, the Sichuan-Mobile Allied Army turned from a slow defeat to a complete rout. A large number of soldiers gave up fighting and fled backward like a tide.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang dared not fight again, so they hurriedly ordered the entire army to retreat and return to their own camp.
The defeat of the Sichuan-Mobile Allied Forces plunged thousands of miles, and most of the large weapons put into the battlefield were destroyed or fell into the hands of the Zhen Army. The defeated soldiers of the Sichuan-Mobile Allied Forces fled all the way back to their own camp, closed the camp door tightly, and defended the camp.
In this head-on confrontation between the Sichuan-Moscow coalition forces and the Zhen army, the losses on both sides were roughly equal. The Sichuan-Mozambique army suffered casualties of around 100,000, while the Zhen army suffered more than 100,000 casualties.
However, in terms of morale, the Zhen army has taken the initiative, and more and more local armies are coming for reinforcements. On the other hand, the Sichuan-Mobile coalition forces have low morale and have begun to lack confidence in the war at hand.
While the Sichuan-Mobile Allied Forces were defending the camp, the Zhen Army quickly assembled outside the camp. The Central Army and the local army who arrived quickly restored their strength to 400,000, and then began to launch a fierce attack on the camp of the Sichuan-Mobile Allied Forces.
In face-to-face hand-to-hand combat, the Sichuan-Moscow coalition forces could not defeat the Zhen army. However, now that they were fighting defensive battles and relying on the wall, the disadvantages of the Sichuan-Mobile coalition forces were greatly restored. Even if they were as ferocious as the Zhen army, they would still be unable to break through the defense lines of the Sichuan-Mozambique coalition forces.
.
The Zhen Army made several forceful attacks, but all failed. Finally, the Zhen Army's commander, Tian Huaiyu, decisively changed his tactics, gave up the force attack, and stationed outside the camp of the Sichuan-Moscow Allied Forces. The two sides moved from the stage of fierce fighting to the stage of confrontation.
This delay by both sides lasted for five days. The Zhen army's supplies were delivered one after another with the help of people from various counties. However, the logistics of the Sichuan-Mozhi coalition seemed to be cut off, let alone confiscated.
Even the baggage has been replenished, and even military rations have been harvested.
It is not surprising that the Sichuan-Moscow coalition did not receive supplies. The Anhuan coalition, which was originally responsible for logistics, has now followed Tang Yin to the battlefield ahead, and Yue Ze and Li Xin have not told their subordinates to deliver supplies to the Sichuan-Mobile coalition.
These two are not broad-minded people. In their opinion, since you Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang could ignore me in the first place, why should I take care of you now? If you want supplies, just find a way to get them yourself.
Don't count on us anymore.
The recruits filled by the Anhuan coalition escorted the baggage and supplies and went directly to the Five Nations coalition camp headed by Feng Jun, without caring about the Sichuan-Moscow coalition at all.
At this time, the situation of the Sichuan-Moscow coalition forces was becoming more and more critical. Even if the Zhen army did not completely encircle their camp, the Sichuan-Moscow coalition forces did not dare to leave the camp rashly.
There are hundreds of thousands of Zhen troops stationed on the way forward, and they cannot get through it no matter what. And if they retreat, they are worried that they will be chased and killed by the Zhen troops. Then there will be no camps to rely on, and how can they fight with only their own combat power?
Zhenjun resists?
But staying in the camp and holding on for dear life is not an option. After all, the food and grass they bring are limited and will eventually be used up. When the entire army runs out of food, there will be no hope.
After discussion, Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang finally had no choice but to shamelessly ask for help from the four kings: Feng, An, Huan, and Yu. They asked the four kings to divide their troops to come for reinforcements. Even if they couldn't divide their troops, they would try their best to transport supplies first.
Of course, Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang were not stupid enough to put all their bets on Feng, An, Huan, and Yu Siguo. At the same time, they also issued transfer orders to their own legions temporarily stationed in Anguo.
According to the original agreement, when the six countries attacked Zhen, the number of troops sent by each country was 400,000, of which 200,000 were used as the first batch of offensive troops, and the other 200,000 were stationed in Anguo as backup. Now due to the Sichuan-Moscow coalition forces
The situation was so precarious that for the sake of safety, Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang could only urgently mobilize their legions stationed in Anguo to meet unexpected needs.
In the current Six-Nation Alliance to Defeat Zhen, four countries have transferred all the 400,000 troops they had prepared previously to the territory of Zhen Kingdom. First, An and Huan, followed by Sichuan and Mo. On the contrary, Feng and Yu Liang have been charging forward.
The country did not fight a tough battle with the Zhen army, its military strength was still at its peak, and it did not mobilize support.
Let's talk about Tang Yin's side. After receiving the message from Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang, the kings of the four countries immediately gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
At this time they had entered Xiangshan County.
The one-million-strong army assembled by the Zhenguo court. First, nearly half of the 400,000 Zhen army led by Gu Anmin was lost, and all the remaining people defected. Later, the 400,000 Zhen army led by Tian Huaiyu was restrained by the Sichuan-Mozhi coalition. Now, they are left to guard the west.
Tang's Zhenguo Central Army only had 200,000 troops. This was a rare opportunity for Tang Yin's coalition forces. As long as they could break through Xiangshan and Longhu counties in a short time, they could attack Xitang directly and use their two
A hundred thousand troops cannot resist the millions of coalition troops on their side.
Not only did Tang Yin understand that the opportunity before him was rare, but the three kings Yue Ze, Li Xin and Lingshuang also knew this. Therefore, after seeing Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang's letter asking for help, Yue, Li and Ling unanimously expressed their stance that they must not
Divide your troops to rescue. Your side must maintain its strength, conquer Xitang first, and destroy the Zhenguo court.
After listening to their opinions, Tang Yin slowly nodded and agreed. Splitting the troops at this time would really delay a good fighting opportunity.
Seeing that he just nodded but remained silent, Yue Ze and Li Xin became a little anxious, fearing that Tang Yin would be merciful and agree to Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang's request.
The two looked at each other, and Yue Ze was the first to say: "Brother Tang Wang, it's not that we ignore the alliance and don't go to help, it's because the current situation does not allow it! This opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come again. If we don't seize this opportunity, we can't help it."
March westward, wait until Xitang calms down, and then assemble an army of one million people, we will be unable to move forward."
"That's right!" Lingshuang nodded his head and said seriously: "Brother Yue Wang is absolutely right. To divide the troops now is to give Xi Tang a chance to breathe, which is really unwise."
Of course, Lingshuang would not be so stupid as Yue Ze and Li Xin that she thought Tang Yin was a kind-hearted person who cared about the alliance. However, it was true that Tang Yin's thinking was too weird. She was really worried that Tang Yin would do something unthinkable again.
Things come up.
Seeing that the three of them were looking at him eagerly, Tang Yin became amused, stood up with a smile, stretched his muscles, then picked up the teacup, drank two sips of tea leisurely, and then said: "Brothers and sisters,
I also know that dividing our forces now will do us harm and no good, but have you ever considered what will happen if the Sichuan-Moscow coalition is defeated?"
"how?"
"The 400,000 Zhen Army can use their hands to flank our army. At that time, our army will be eager to advance westward and have to deal with the 400,000 Zhen Army. The situation is not optimistic!" Tang Yin analyzed slowly.
.
Hearing this, Yue Ze, Li Xin, and Ling Shuang frowned in unison.
Li Xin asked bluntly: "So?"
"So, we have to let the Sichuan-Mozhi coalition hold on. Even if they cannot defeat the Zhenjun, they still have to contain these Zhenjun in Shima County." Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and said quietly.
Lingshuang nodded, suddenly feeling that what Tang Yin said made sense.
Yue Ze patted his thigh helplessly and sighed: "After all, we still need to divide our troops to assist the Sichuan and Mozambique armies!"
Tang Yin raised the corner of his mouth and said: "If we want the Sichuan-Mozambique coalition to hold on, we don't have to divide our troops to provide assistance."
"Oh?" The three people were refreshed and asked hurriedly: "What does Prince Tang mean..."
"With the fighting strength of the Sichuan and Mozambique armies, as long as they have enough food, grass and baggage, and do not seek to defeat the enemy, it is no problem to defend the camp and protect themselves." Tang Yin said: "For this matter, we have to rely on the efforts of the Yue Wang brothers and the Li Wang brothers.
Help!"
Yue Ze and Li Xin rolled their eyes and asked, "What does Prince Tang mean by asking us to send troops to transport grain, grass and baggage to the Sichuan-Mozhi Army?"
"Yes, this is also the best way to resolve the crisis in Sichuan and Mo."
"Huh! I can't do it!" Li Xin's face turned red, and he looked at Yue Ze angrily and said: "Brother Yue Wang, how did Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang treat you and me back then? They were indifferent and indifferent until death.
There is no alliance at all. If brothers Feng and Yu hadn't arrived, you and I would have become the victims of the Zhen army. Now we want you and me to send food, grass and baggage to Xiao Xuan and Shao Fang. Brother Yue Wang, can you do it?
Are you here?"
Alas! Yue Ze sighed secretly, it was like being stabbed by someone, and he still had to give gifts to others. Not to mention that he was embarrassed, even he couldn't pass this test himself.
He rubbed his hands, laughed twice, and said to Tang Yin: "Brother Tang Yin, you know best how Brother Xiao Wang treated us back then. Now it is too difficult for me and Brother Li Wang to send supplies to him."
The baggage of the six countries is all stored in Anguo, and the Anjun is under unified management. If Yueze does not issue an order, no one can do anything.
