The tenth collect the three hundred and ninetieth chapter
Chapter 390
Nan Yan's question made Shao Fang blush with anger and his eyebrows stood up. He slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Nan Yan, and shouted loudly: "Nan Yan, you are so brave, how dare you
To speak rudely to this king?!"
"The general doesn't dare." Nan Yan lowered his head and said, "It's just that the general is upright by nature, and he won't be happy if he doesn't vomit."
"Okay, okay, I will make you vomit today!" Shao Fang smoked from his Qiqiao and roared outside the palace: "Come here, drag this bold traitor out to me and kill him!"
Following his words, several guards strode into the palace. When they approached Nan Yan, they couldn't help but escort him out.
Nan Yan didn't even say a word of pleading, and let the guards drag him out of the hall. Nan Yan is a veteran in the Mo army. The reason why he is called a veteran is not because of his age, but because he has been in the army for a long time.
I joined the army at the age of fifteen, and it has been almost twenty years now.
Among the Mo army, there are still many generals who admire Nanyan, including two Mo tiger generals, Lian Ge and Xiang Wen.
Seeing that the king really wanted to kill Nan Yan, they both stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, General Nan serves the country and the king, and has always been loyal. Moreover, General Nan is the commander-in-chief of the Huben Army. Your Majesty, now
If I kill General Nan, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the officers and soldiers of the Huben Army, which will be detrimental to our country. I hope your Majesty will think twice!"
If it were someone else to persuade him, the angry Shao Fang might have to kill the people who tried to persuade him. But at this time, it was Lian Ge and Xiang Wen who were trying to persuade him, the tiger generals he loved and valued the most. The anger in his chest
It was gradually suppressed.
"This thief is hateful. He doesn't take this king seriously at all. How can I keep him here?" He said this, but Shao Fang's expression softened a little, and he slowly sat back down after standing up.
"General Nan is straightforward by nature, and he says whatever he has to say. Considering that General Nan has been fighting for the country for more than ten years, your Majesty will spare General Nan this time!" Lian Ge and Xiang Wen said in unison.
At this time, many other generals also knelt down and kowtowed and said: "I hope the king will take back his life and spare General Nan's life!"
Killing the general before the battle is indeed detrimental to his own side. After calming down, Shao Fang also felt that it was not appropriate to kill Nanyan in this situation. It happened that all the generals were interceding for him, so Shao Fang took advantage of the situation and pushed the boat along.
He said: "Okay! For the sake of your beloved princes interceding for him, I will spare him this time. But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is difficult to forgive. Put Nan Yan in prison first and wait for his fate!"
It was not easy to save Nanyan's life from the king's sword. Everyone did not dare to ask for anything more. They kowtowed forward again and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Although Shao Fang did not kill Nan Yan, he still had to choose a commander to resist the wind army. Nan Yan would definitely not be used. General Li Jin was not capable, and Lian Ge and Xiang Wen were known for their bravery and skill in fighting, so they could lead the troops to fight.
For the uninitiated, Shao Fang was really worried about who to choose as commander. Even in this situation where no one was available, Shao Fang did not dare to suggest that he would lead the army and fight to the death by setting an example. This might be the reason why he and Feng Jun were fighting.
The biggest difference between Tang Yin!
The ministers discussed and discussed, and finally they thought of one person, the Lieutenant General of Mo State, Xu Lengzhi, who was known as the general who suppressed the rebellion.
Xu Lengzhi is a veteran of the Mo Kingdom. The old man is nearly sixty years old. Although he has been the commander-in-chief of the Mo Army, he is in charge of the navy, not the army.
The eastern part of the Mo Kingdom is close to the sea, and pirates and bandits are rampant. In addition, small groups of foreign navies invade and plunder from time to time, so it has never been peaceful. When Shao Fang's father, Shao Ting, was the king of Mo, there was also a rebellion in Donghai County in the east.
After being bribed by a foreign country, he launched an army to rebel and declared his own country. At that time, Shao Ting worshiped Xu Lengzhi as his commander and led the naval crusade, defeating the rebellion in Donghai County in one fell swoop. As a result, he also received the title of general to suppress the rebellion.
After the rebellion in Donghai County was put down, Xu Lengzhi was stationed there, serving as both the commander of the navy and the head of Donghai County until now.
Now, the situation in Mo Country is critical. Xu Lengzhi, the naval commander who is far away in Donghai County, has been thought of. It can be seen that there is indeed no one available. In fact, Shao Fang is also muttering that Xu Lengzhi will definitely not be able to fight in the water.
Question, but can he do it in a land battle?
Li Jin, Guo Hui, Zhang Rong and others explained that although there are differences in land and water battles, the principles are the same. Since Xu Lengzhi can command the water army so well, he can definitely command it on land.
Shao Fang accepted what Li Jin and others said, and immediately sent it to Donghai County, and ordered Xu Leng to return to the capital.
Xu Lengzhi, the commander of Mo's Eastern Navy, was recalled to Zhenjiang by Shao Fang. He was then made a general, given the title of Pingbei General, and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He ordered 300,000 troops to go to Hao.
Wan County, together with the central army of Mo State there, fought to the death with the Feng army that invaded Zeping County.
In fact, what Li Jin, Guo Hui and others said is correct. The navy and army have similar military skills. They can fight water battles, and they will be no different when they return to land. Although Xu Lengzhi is young, he has great ambitions.
Not a small person, he gladly accepted Shao Fang's appointment. He also regarded this expedition as his last chance to make contributions before returning to his fields.
When the Fengjun heard that Mo Country had sent a navy marshal to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, people almost laughed. Mo Country really thought that there was no one left. After thousands of choices, they actually selected a navy commander.
Come and fight with your own side, and bring disgrace to the world.
Qi Heng took the initiative to ask Tang Yin for military service, willing to be a vanguard and enter Haowan County to wipe out the enemy.
The Mo army had no way to defeat the heavily armored cavalry, which resulted in the Ninth Army being in a deserted situation on the battlefield and undefeated. Qi Heng was even more arrogant and did not take the Mo army seriously at all.
Tang Yin now also faces a problem, which is to divide his troops for fighting. After capturing Zeping County, according to the deployment of the Military Government Hall, Fengjun now needs to divide his troops. The main goal is still to go south to attack Haowan County, but at the same time, some troops must be allocated to attack Surabaya.
The main purpose is to help the Jade Army open the door to the Mo Kingdom so that the Jade Army can smoothly enter the Mo Kingdom. The Military Government Hall believes that the best army to take Surabaya is the Pingyuan Army. First of all, the Pingyuan Army has strong combat power. With the current defense of Surabaya, the Pingyuan Army
You can take it easily. Secondly, the Pingyuan Army has a great reputation. After capturing Surabaya and joining the Jade Army, with the Pingyuan Army as its backer, the Jade Army's morale will also be improved a lot, and its combat power will naturally increase, which is beneficial.
Cooperate with your own main army to fight.
Separating the Pingyuan Army will have a big impact on the overall combat strength of the Feng Army. Tang Yin is also thinking about how to fight the next war going south. At this time, seeing Qi Heng volunteering for military service and looking confident, Tang Yin felt that
Let the Ninth Army give it a try.
Judging from the current battle situation, Mo's army is obviously ill-prepared for the emergence of the Ninth Army and has no countermeasures. It would be a pity if our side does not take advantage of this opportunity.
After careful consideration, Tang Yin decided to send the Ninth Army to take the lead and suppress the Mo army first, and then lead the main force to completely defeat the Mo army.
The Ninth Army headed by Qi Heng received Tang Yin's approval and took the lead to leave Changdu and march southward in a mighty manner. The main force of the Feng Army headed by Tang Yin also set out to leave Changdu on the second day of the Ninth Army's departure.
, go to Jiangyang, the border town between Zeping and Haowan.
Currently, the main armies on Tang Yin's side are the Directly Affiliated Army, the Feilong Army, the Ninth Army and the Hundred War Army, with a total strength of nearly 600,000. The strength of the Mo Army on the other side is exactly the same as that of the Feng Army, which is also more than 600,000.
On the left and right, it seems that the two sides are about to start another evenly matched battle.
However, the Feng Army has follow-up troops. Once the Pingyuan Army captures Surabaya, the 200,000 Jade Army will advance into the Mo Kingdom. At that time, the Jade Army and the Pingyuan Army will unite and attack Haowan from Sishui.
The army can form a pincer attack.
Therefore, the pressure of this battle is entirely on the side of the Mo army. If the Mo army cannot defeat the Feng army quickly, the next war will fall into complete passivity. Before the war begins, the Feng army has already gained a psychological advantage. The strength of all the soldiers in the army
The morale is very high.
But what is unexpected is that the arrival of Xu Lengzhi made the already very clear situation between the two parties less clear again.
Xu Lengzhi had not yet arrived at Haowan County and was on the road, so he continued to issue commanders. At the same time, he ordered the Mo army in Haowan County to build more camps and trenches, focusing on defense. Fight when you can, and delay when you can.
If he really couldn't defeat him, he immediately retreated to preserve his own strength as much as possible. On the other hand, he sent an order to Tianyang County and ordered the head of Tianyang County, Lechen, to personally command a group of elite troops to break into Zeping County from Tianyang County and sneak attack Feng Feng.
The rear base camp of the army—Changdu.
Feng Jun's spies knew Mo Jun's every move, and similarly, Mo Jun's spies were also very aware of Feng Jun's movements.
The Feng army all went south, hoping to fight to the death with their own side in Haowan County, but their defenses were often empty. In Xu Lengzhi's view, this was a great opportunity for our side to launch a sneak attack. If Haowan County sent troops to launch a sneak attack, it would be easily detected by the Feng army.
, but it was different when troops were sent from Tianyang County. The Battle of Changdu caused heavy losses to the four armies of the Mo Kingdom, and they were defeated and retreated to Haowan County, including the Mo army from Tianyang County. As far as the Feng Army was concerned, Tianyang County was no longer available.
If it poses another threat, the focus of Feng Army's defense cannot be on Tianyang County.
As for the sneak attack on Changdu, Xu Lengzhi valued the Feng Army's logistical supplies. The Feng Army had hoarded a large amount of supplies in Changdu. As long as they were destroyed, it would be very beneficial to his side's subsequent battle. In addition, he also
I have a deeper plan...
A few days later, the Ninth Army crossed Jiangyang and entered Haowan County. The Mo army stationed in Haowan County followed Xu Lengzhi's order and built a large number of temporary checkpoints between cities, towns and even villages.
, fortresses and camps to resist the attack of the wind army.
At the beginning, Qi Heng responded cautiously, but as the battle continued, Qi Heng discovered that although the Mo army had many defenses, the soldiers had no fighting spirit and offered little resistance. As long as his own offensive was slightly stronger, the Mo army would
