After careful consideration, Tang Yin finally adopted the suggestions of Liang Qi and Ziying, gave up rescuing the An army trapped in Fengyang, and marched westward with all his strength to attack Daxing, the capital of Huan Kingdom. (""
)
At present, Huandu has almost no central army that can be sent to fight on the battlefield, and it is even less able to send troops to block the advancement of the Fengyu coalition. Only local armies are left in the counties and cities along the way, but how can these scattered local armies be used?
He is the opponent of the Fengyu Alliance.
Along the way, Fengyu's coalition forces destroyed the city and fortified the village with overwhelming force, and no one could resist its edge.
When the Fengyu Allied Forces were still one county away from Daxing, Li Xin couldn't sit still in the capital, and led his family members in the harem and the ministers of the Huan Kingdom's court to escape from the capital in a hurry and went to Lutai, an important town in the south of the Huan Kingdom.
The reason why Li Xin chose to go to Lutai was that, firstly, Lutai was a large city with a palace, which could be used as a temporary capital. Secondly, Lutai was close to the border of Huanzhen. Once the Fengyu coalition attacked, he would still be able to go to Lutai.
You can escape into Zhendi and seek protection from the Sichuan army there.
As a monarch, Li Xin ran away with the court, and the fighting spirit of the Huan army who stayed in and near Daxing can be imagined. The Fengyu coalition attacked from Sanyang Plain to Daxing in only one month, and during this period
Never fought another tough battle.
In this month, the entire war situation has undergone new changes.
The An army trapped in Fengyang City unexpectedly persisted, and the Sichuan-Huan coalition forces commanded by Xue Rong and Pang Xia were unable to attack for a long time.
During the month-long siege, the Sichuan-Huan coalition forces broke through Fengyang's city defenses several times, but were pushed out by the An army who resisted desperately. Fengyang City was still firmly in the hands of the An army, and the Sichuan-Huan coalition forces were killed.
He was dragged to death outside Fengyang City.
On the other side of the Anguo battlefield, the Pingyuan Army, the Directly Affiliated Army, and the Baizhan Army of the Feng State and the Lu Chen First Division, Jiang Yang First Division, and Jin Sheng First Division of the Huan Kingdom also launched a series of fierce battles. ("")
In this battle, there was not a huge difference in the strength of the two armies. The Feng army had 500,000 troops, while the Huan army had more than 600,000 troops. However, the combat strength of the two armies was very different.
Although the Huan Army is also the main force of Huan's Central Army and is commanded by three major military lords, it is still far behind compared with the Ping Ping Army, the Directly Affiliated Army, and the Hundred Battle Army, which are accustomed to fighting and are brave and good at fighting.
In addition, when fighting in Anguo, the Feng Army had a huge advantage, which was no different from fighting on the mainland. During the battle with the enemy, the Feng Army received a lot of funding from the Anguo court, local people and even the people, especially the Pingyuan Army and the Directly Affiliated Army.
, the armaments were uniformly replaced, from top to bottom, all the armaments of the An Army were used, which invisibly improved the combat effectiveness of the Pingyuan Army and the Directly Affiliated Army.
The first people Feng Huan and his two armies came into contact with were the Pingyuan Army, the Directly Affiliated Army and Lu Chen's First Division. Lu Chen's First Division planned to take directly the capital of Anguo, Yuzhen, and fight all the way, but it was a series of battles and victories. I don't know how many groups stationed along the way were defeated.
An Jun.
However, when Lu Chen's troops attacked Zimeng Pass in Anguo, they encountered fierce resistance from the Anjun army led by Anguo general Yan Xi and failed to successfully capture it.
Lu Chen's troops were blocked at Zimeng Pass for five days. Seeing the strong resistance of the defenders in the pass, Lu Chen finally gave up the attack and decided to bypass Zimeng Pass.
As a result, when Lu Chen led his army to retreat, the An army in Zimeng Pass counterattacked, chasing Huan Jun and beating them fiercely.
Lu Chen was furious and immediately commanded the entire army. The rear army turned into the front army and fought a decisive battle with An's army. However, as soon as Huan's army turned back, An's army retreated on its own initiative and did not fight with Huan's army. When An's army retreated, Huan's army again
When they wanted to evacuate, the An army pursued them again.
The An army did not engage in a head-on confrontation with the Huan army, but also delayed the Huan army from evacuating. They were obviously stalling for time and wanted to drag Lu Chen's group near Zimengguan. The latest chapter of the Holy Church
As one of the four military princes of the Huan Kingdom, Lu Chen was also a famous general who was good at military strategies. Of course he could see An Jun's intentions, but he was helpless against An Jun's almost rogue tactics.
While Lu Chen was still thinking about how to get rid of An Jun's entanglement, the Pingyuan Army headed by Xiao Muqing and the Directly Affiliated Army headed by Wuying arrived at Zimeng Pass. The two armies lined up outside Zimeng Pass and launched a frontal battle.
decisive battle.
Before the war, Xiao Muqing specially sent people to Zimeng Pass to tell the An army in the pass that there was no need to participate in the war.
Although Anjun fought fairly well in the Battle of Zimengguan, his lack of confidence in Anjun was already deep-rooted. Xiao Muqing was really afraid that Anjun's sudden participation in the war would be a disservice to his own side.
, and it’s not easy for me to control the overall situation.
The battle in front of Zimeng Pass was the first one-on-one decisive battle between the main force of the Feng Army and the main force of the Huan Army.
In this battle, the two legions of the Feng Army had a total strength of 200,000, and the three legions of the Huan Army, excluding the battle losses along the way, had 250,000 combatable troops. In terms of military strength, the Huan Army had an absolute advantage in this battle.
However, after the two sides fought, the Huan Army suffered a one-sided defeat. The Pingyuan Army and the Directly Affiliated Army were the two most powerful armies among the Feng Kingdom Infantry Army, and there were Guan Yuan Rang and Jiang Jiang among the two armies.
When such a fierce general takes the lead, the morale of the soldiers is greatly improved. Although the Huan Army has a large number of troops, it still cannot withstand the fierce charge of the Pingyuan Army and the Directly Affiliated Army.
The battle between the two sides only lasted for half a day, and the Huan army began to be unable to hold on. As the front army in the lead lost all its casualties, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army retreated in formations and regiments. The scene was like sea water.
It's like an ebbing tide that can't be stopped.
No matter how powerful Lu Chen was in commanding on the battlefield, he could not influence the overall situation at this time. In this battle, the Huan army was severely defeated. In the later stages of the battle, even An Jun, who had promised Feng Jun not to participate in the battle, could not hold back and killed his troops.
At Mengguan, General Yan Xi personally formed a formation and led the An army, followed by the Feng army, to pursue the Huan army.
After this great defeat, Huan's army fled for eighty miles. Along the way, discarded armor and weapons could be seen everywhere, as well as Huan's corpses and seriously wounded soldiers.
There is a world of difference between the high-spirited legions.
After defeating Lu Chen's troops in just one battle, Yan Xile couldn't help but smile. After he saw Xiao Muqing and Wuying, he enthusiastically brought them into Zimeng Pass, and provided thousands of aids to them and Feng Jun.
Thank you very much, and I am full of praise for Feng Jun’s combat prowess.
For Yan Xi, this battle is an important battle to save Anguo from fire and water, but for Xiao Muqing and Wuying, this battle is ordinary, just one of the many battles they have experienced, and it is not even worth it.
To show off.
After defeating Huan's army, Xiao Muqing and Wuying planned to pursue the victory and annihilate Lu Chen's troops in one go. However, Yan Xi refused to let them go and persuaded them to stay in Zimengguan for a longer period of time. First, Feng's army was far away.
Come, he needs time to rest and recuperate. Secondly, after a great battle, the Feng Army suffered a lot of damage to its armaments and needed to be replenished. He patted his chest and made a promise that he would pass it on to the court and let the court make up for the war losses of the Feng Army.
Yan Xi repeatedly tried to retain Feng Jun, partly because he was unsure. If Feng Jun was there, the Zimeng Pass he was stationed at would be impregnable. No matter how many enemies came, Feng Jun could defeat them.
Xiao Muqing and Wuying accepted Yan Xi's suggestion and temporarily stationed at Zimeng Pass. First of all, the entire army really needed time to rest and recuperate. Secondly, and most importantly, they had coveted Anjun's armaments for a long time. If
It would be great if we could really get support from the Anguo court.
Yan Xi did not break his promise. In his message to the court, he greatly praised Feng Jun's assistance and combat power, and bluntly proposed to Yue Ze that he should vigorously fund Feng Jun's armaments in order to win over and please Feng.
As long as Feng Jun can stand unswervingly on Anguo's side and fight for Anguo wholeheartedly, no matter how strong the foreign enemy is, Anguo can win this battle.
The words of the winner are always the most weighty. The victory in the battle of Zimengguan made Yue Ze attach great importance to Yan Xi's advice. After some discussions with the ministers of the DPRK, Yue Ze finally agreed to reward the Pingyuan Army.
There are 300,000 sets of armor for the armies directly under the Central Government, of which 200,000 sets are for equipping all officers and men of the two armies, and the other 100,000 sets are for military reserve. If damaged, they can be replaced as soon as possible.
Anguo may not have a strong military, but its national strength is second to none. It sent 300,000 sets of fine steel armors, which were priceless. Yueze didn't even blink an eye. For Anguo, this kind of armament was basically useless.
A piece of cake.
This great gift from Yue Ze made Xiao Muqing and Wuying so excited that they couldn't sleep well for two days. With these Anguo armors, I wonder how many of our soldiers will be spared casualties on the battlefield, and the entire army's combat strength will also be
Will be promoted to chief mate.
An Ren was very meticulous in his work. When the armor was delivered to Feng Jun from Yuzhen, the color of the armor had been painted into Feng Jun's usual black. Even details such as the helmet and tassel were not ignored and were all changed to red.
It can be said that the armaments funded by Anguo were sent over, and the Feng Army did not need to do any processing. They could be worn directly and equipped by the entire army.
Xiao Muqing and Wuying immediately asked the entire army to change their armor, and then the entire army began to practice intensively in the barracks.
The leather armor originally worn by the Feng Army was much lighter than the steel helmets of Anguo. Now that they have been replaced, it will take some time for the entire army to adapt. The Pingyuan Army and the Directly Affiliated Army will be stationed with complete peace of mind.
The defeated Lu Chen's First Division quickly joined up with Jin Sheng's First Division and Jiang Yang's First Division who followed. Huan's army suddenly reached 600,000 troops, but the situation was still not optimistic.
Now they have the Pingyuan Army and the Directly Affiliated Army stationed at Zimeng Pass to the south, and the Baizhan Army tracking them to the north. The Feng Army has sandwiched the Huan Army from the south to the north, and there is a possibility of attacking from both sides at any time.
Lu Chen, Jin Sheng, and Jiang Yang made a plan and decided that given the current situation, their country would be in a dead end regardless of whether they were going north, south, or east. The only solution now was to go west and look for opportunities to return to the mainland of Huan Kingdom.
