The allied forces of Feng, Yu, and An set up camp twenty miles away from Chuanhuan Camp. That night, Tang Yin summoned all the generals in the army to discuss countermeasures against the enemy.
This time they were facing the Sichuan army. Most of the generals looked solemn, especially the generals of Anguo. Their brows were knitted into knots, their faces were frowning, and their fighting spirit was low.
Currently, Anguo's mainland is under attack from the Sichuan Army, and An people can best understand the power of the Sichuan Army.
Bai Qing spoke first and said: "The Sichuan army is strong, our army should avoid its edge and bypass the Sanyang Plain area."
"Our army is on the offensive and can only advance westward. Even if we can avoid it for a while, we will not be able to avoid it forever. We will eventually have to confront the Sichuan army." Liang Qi said: "Avoiding war is not a good strategy, and it also shows that our army is weak and timid.
The enemy has the upper hand in morale.”
"General Liang means... we still have to fight this battle?"
"We have no other choice but to fight," Liang Qi said seriously: "If we cannot defeat the Sichuan army, our westward advance strategy will only end in failure."
"But the Sichuan army's combat power is extraordinary..."
"No matter how strong the Sichuan army's combat strength is, it will only have 400,000 soldiers in the end. Our army may not necessarily lose if it is matched with them."
"No matter what, I think a head-on confrontation with the Sichuan Army is too risky and is definitely not a good idea."
Liang Qi and Bai Qing had different opinions. Finally, they both looked at Tang Yin to see what he meant. Tang Yin tapped his forehead lightly and said, "My opinion is the same as that of Liang Qi. This battle must be fought. The key is how
Come and fight"
Ziying's eyes flashed and he said: "Your Majesty, the general has a plan."
"Oh? Tell me." Tang Yin knew that Ziying had always been resourceful and his tactics were also known for being weird.
"Divide the troops into battle." Ziying said quietly: "Our army can be divided into three groups. The Yujun brothers will be one group, and we will take Anyang to the northwest. The Anjun brothers will be one group, and we will take Fengyang to the southwest. We, Fengjun, will be one group, and we will stay in the camp.
, if the enemy army separates a large number of troops and wants to relieve the danger of Anyang and Fengyang, our Feng army can take the opportunity to directly attack the Sichuanhuan camp. If the enemy army separates a small force, then the Yu army and An army can
Then we can capture Anyang and Fengyang in one go, forming a double-teaming trend against the enemy."
After Ziying finished speaking, many generals present nodded their heads, thinking that this method was indeed good. The troops were divided into three groups, and the spearheads were directed at Anyang, Fengyang and Anhuan Camp, making the enemy defenseless.
The only one who is unsure is An Jun. When An Jun, Feng Jun, and Yu Jun are together, they can still appear confident. Even if they encounter a strong enemy, they dare to fight with them. Now they have to act alone to capture Fengyang.
, what if the Sichuan army sends a large number of troops to attack?
General An all looked at Bai Qing in unison and winked at her, indicating to Bai Qing that the division of troops strategy was inappropriate, at least not appropriate for our own side.
Bai Qing naturally understood what her generals meant, but how could she say this?
Feng Jun and Yu Jun both agreed to divide their forces for fighting, so why couldn't they accept it? She pondered for a long time, and then asked with concern: "Your Majesty, King Feng, when our army attacks Fengyang, what if we encounter the Sichuan Army?"
What should the main force do?”
Before Tang Yin could speak, Liang Qi said first: "If you can fight, fight. If you can't, you can avoid fighting. As long as General Bai can do his best to contain the enemy, that's all."
Tang Yin nodded his head. If the An army can contain the main force of the Sichuan army, it will be very beneficial to our own side. If the preconditions are met, will the Sichuan army send the main force to attack An Jun? Why use the Sichuan army's sledgehammer to kill a chicken?
After hearing Liang Qi's words, Bai Qing and the generals of An's army were relieved. As long as they could avoid fighting, that would be fine. If they really encountered the Sichuan army and couldn't defeat it, they could still run. Speaking of the ability to run, An's
The army believes that it will never lose to the Sichuan Army
Seeing that all the Anjun generals headed by Bai Qing were silent, Ziying smiled and asked, "So you all have no objections?"
All the generals present shook their heads, indicating that they had no objections. Finally, Ziying looked at Tang Yin and asked, "What do you think, the king, of this plan?"
Tang Yin looked at Ziying, then at Liang Qi, paused for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, this time we will follow General Ziying's method. Our troops will be divided into three groups."
Ziying proposed the strategy, Tang Yin made the final decision, and the battle plan was finalized. After the accounts were dismissed, the generals left one after another to prepare separately. After a short time, only Tang Yin, Liang Qi, and Ziying were left in the Chinese military account.
Tang Yin still had some doubts in his heart and needed to ask them clearly. Liang Qi and Ziying also noticed it, so they stayed in the tent automatically and consciously without Tang Yin's signal.
After everyone left, Tang Yinfang said: "It is good to divide the troops to fight, but the security aspect is the weak point of our army."
In his mind, Anjun was really too embarrassed to take on the important task. Even if Anjun could capture Fengyang, he was afraid that the Sichuan army would crush it as soon as it passed by.
Liang Qi smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The reason why An's army is weak in combat is because it has not been forced to a dead end. As long as An's army is forced to the point of no retreat and has to fight without hesitation, even if it is
It would be a headache for the Sichuan Army to capture them."
"Oh?" Tang Yin's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Ziying immediately continued: "General Liang Qi is right, An Army's military equipment is the strongest among all the countries in the world. The only thing it lacks is fighting spirit. As long as there is a way to inspire An Army's fighting spirit to fight to the death, An Army's combat power will be overwhelming."
underestimated”
Tang Yin asked curiously: "How can we inspire An Jun's fighting spirit?"
Liang Qi smiled relaxedly and said: "This is the problem with Bai Qing, the commander-in-chief of the army. Your Majesty should trust General Bai Qing's ability."
Tang Yin was almost angry. How could he believe in Bai Qing's ability? In his impression, since the Anhuan War broke out, Bai Qing's army had not won a single victory. How could he trust her?
Before Tang Yin could refute, Ziying continued: "The last general also thinks that what General Liang Qi said is very true. General Bai Qing, a woman who can become the general of Anguo and the commander of an army, must have something special about her."
"
Liang Qi and Ziying had the same caliber. Tang Yin really couldn't understand what medicine they were selling in their gourds, so he shrugged and said helplessly: "You two must understand that no matter how weak the An army is, it is still our ally.
We cannot let his sacrifice be in vain.”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, that won't happen."
"Yes." Tang Yin nodded and didn't ask any more questions. In terms of their ability to lead troops to fight, both Liang Qi and Ziying were much better than him. Since they both thought there was no problem, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Tang Yin has always been self-aware and knows very well where he is strong and weak, and who he should listen to and who he should not listen to.
The next day, the allied forces of Feng, Yu, and An were still resting in the military camp. The Sichuan-Huan allied forces had already attacked with great fanfare. They attacked the enemy outside the camp and scolded them. They provoked the allied forces to go out to fight. Tang Yin issued an order and the entire army strictly guarded the camp. No one was allowed to attack.
Don't go into battle without permission
The Sichuan-Huan coalition forces yelled and cursed all morning, but there was no movement at the Jianfeng, Yu, and An army camps. By noon, the entire army returned in anger.
Xue Rong is very arrogant, but he is not arrogant enough to take the initiative to attack the enemy's camp. After all, the strength of the three-nation coalition forces of Feng, Yu, and An is close to 700,000. In a tough battle, his own side will suffer too much, and there is no way.
Be sure to win
The day after the incident, according to the original plan, both Yu Jun and An Jun left the coalition camp, one went north, the other went south, and headed towards the cities of Anyang and Fengyang separately.
The spies of the Sichuan and Huan armies have already been densely populated around the coalition camp, and every move of the coalition forces is under the control of the Sichuan and Huan armies.
At first, Xue Rong was not very clear about the intentions of the coalition forces after receiving the intelligence report. After confirming the march routes of the Yu'an and An'an armies, Xue Rong finally understood that the Yu's army wanted to capture Anyang, while the An's army wanted to capture Anyang.
It is to capture Fengyang
In response, Pang Xia took a breath and said urgently to Xue Rong: "General Xue, Anyang and Fengyang are located to the north and south of our army's camp respectively. The defenders are not strong enough. Once they are captured by the coalition forces, the coalition forces will do a lot of damage to us.
The camp will form a pincer attack, and whether it is besieging our camp or encircling Huaiyang, it will be extremely detrimental to us."
How could Xue Rong fail to understand the tactics of the coalition forces? He was like a mirror in his mind and said with a sneer: "The coalition forces are divided into three groups. Obviously they do not dare to fight our army head-on. Even if they capture Anyang and Fengyang, what will happen? It's basically impossible.
No need to pay attention”
Pang Xia's expression changed and he didn't need to pay attention. Is it difficult to just watch the coalition forces capture Anyang and Fengyang?
He hurriedly said: "General Xue must not be careless. Anyang and Fengyang are two key points on the Sanyang Plain. If both are lost, our army will become extremely passive and must be reinforced with troops."
"If we divide our forces, we will fall into the coalition's scheme. At that time, we will have to be led by the coalition and change from active to passive, which will invisibly consume our army's advantage," Xue Rong said with a sneer.
"Then General Xue means..."
"Abandoning the rescue of Anyang and Fengyang, our army went straight to the coalition camp. Now there are only 200,000 Feng troops left in the enemy camp. This is also the main force of the coalition. As long as our army concentrates its forces, we can attack these two troops in one go.
If all 100,000 Feng troops are wiped out, then the remaining Yu army and An army will not be a concern at all. Anyang and Fengyang captured by them will become their burial places."
As the old commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Kingdom, Xue Rong has fought all his life. What kind of enemy has he never seen? What kind of cunning opponent he has never encountered. If you want to take advantage of him and find a loophole, it will be impossible.
Still difficult
After hearing his countermeasures, Pang Xia felt a sudden enlightenment, and secretly thought in his heart, Xue Rong is worthy of being a famous general of Sichuan, and he hit the key point without even considering it.
The coalition forces divide their forces. If we also divide our forces to respond, we will indeed be led by the coalition forces. But on the other hand, taking this opportunity to mainly attack the isolated Feng Army and capture the main force of the coalition forces is a clever plan to act according to the opportunity.
Pang Xia raised his hands and sighed sincerely: "The general is so talented and quick that the general can learn from him."
