"The final prize obeys the order!" Ming Xiaotian and Jin Huan both stepped in to receive the order.
Yan Chu wanted to mobilize an army of 500,000 people at once, which was considered cruel.
At this time, Wei Zheng secretly frowned. For no reason, Du Ji suddenly sent troops. This was strange! What kind of country is Du Ji? It's not even a country, it's just a small city-state. If the entire country's military strength is added together, I'm afraid
It was less than 200,000, but Du Ji dared to be an enemy of Ning State. Is King Du Ji crazy? Are the people in Du Ji City State crazy? Wei Zheng took a deep breath and said: "Wait a minute, my king, this time Du Ji City State has no reason."
It’s really weird to send troops to our country, I’m afraid there’s a trick in it! If the king mobilizes an army of 500,000 to go north, and the capital city is empty, in case of an accident..."
Before Wei Zheng could finish what he said, Yan Chu asked, "What's the deceit in it? What accidents will happen here in the capital?"
"What if...what if Feng Guo suddenly leaves Tongmen and marches to Hedong?" Wei Zheng said with concern.
"Haha..." Zhang Zhihong suddenly threw his head up and laughed when he heard this. He rolled his eyes at Wei Zheng from the corner of his eye and asked: "General Wei, don't forget that the king has more than 200,000 heavy troops in the east of the river! In addition,
Even if 500,000 troops are transferred, there are still 400,000 soldiers available in the capital. What are you worried about, General Wei?"
"But most of the 400,000 soldiers left behind to guard the capital are new recruits..."
Wei Zheng wanted to explain, but Zhang Zhihong waved his hand and said: "If the Feng Army dares to come, with our country's 600,000 troops, we will definitely make it impossible for them to come back. Furthermore, the Feng Army cannot come at all. There are now floods in the Feng Kingdom."
Seriously, there is a severe shortage of food. There is no food in the army. How can the Feng Army fight? Also, has General Wei heard any signs of Feng Army's movements? No! The main force of the Feng Army is still in Yancheng. How can you judge the Feng Army?
Will they come to attack our country’s Hedong area?”
Zhang Zhihong was so eloquent that he also made Wei Zheng speechless. Wei Zheng said that the Feng Army would attack Hedong. It was purely a general's intuition and speculation without any real evidence. Now when Zhang Zhihong asked him, he couldn't give an answer.
So come.
Seeing Wei Zheng standing there speechless, Zhang Zhihong smiled proudly, cupped his hands to Yan Chu and said: "Your Majesty, the Feng Army will definitely not attack Hedong. Even if they want to attack Hedong, the mobilization of the army will take time. Our army also has
There is enough time to make preparations, so your Majesty does not have to worry about it."
Yan Chu nodded. Although he valued Wei Zheng very much and valued Wei Zheng's opinions, from the bottom of his heart, he did not think that there was a possibility of Feng Guo suddenly sending out troops. Forcibly sending out troops when the country was suffering from disasters and food and grass were in short supply. From ancient times,
There has never been such a precedent.
He looked at Wei Zheng and asked: "General Wei, how likely do you think the Feng Kingdom is to send troops to our country?"
Wei Zheng shook his head truthfully and said: "I don't know, but I just think Du Ji's behavior is too abnormal and suspicious!"
Zhang Zhihong continued: "In a barbaric country and uncivilized people, what common sense can we find? I think the king should seize this opportunity, not only to annihilate the barbarian army that invaded our country, but also to take advantage of the situation and invade the barbarian country.
, let Du Kei cede the territory and pay gold and silver compensation to our country."
"Yes!" Yan Chu nodded his head and said, "That's what I love you!" As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at the two generals Ming Xiaotian and Jin Huan who were still standing there waiting.
Ming Xiaotian and Jin Huan immediately understood what Yan Chu meant when they saw his eyes. They did not dare to delay any longer and stepped in to salute: "Your Majesty, the last general will order troops to go north to destroy the Hulu and avenge the national humiliation!"
Seeing Yan Chu nodded, they both turned around and strode out.
Du Ji made a sneak attack on the border town of Ning State, attracting 500,000 Ning State troops to encircle and suppress him. This news was immediately reported back to Yancheng of Feng State. After receiving the information, Letian jumped for joy and immediately rushed to the palace to see Tang Yin.
Make this clear.
Tang Yin was naturally very excited after hearing the news. Ning Guo suddenly marched north with an army of 500,000 troops. God is really helping me! Tang Yin pondered for a moment and then asked: "How many troops are left in Ningdu Liangzhou now?"
Letian said seriously: "It is reported that there are still 400,000 Ning troops."
Tang Yin took a breath and realized that there was still an army of 400,000 people. Ningguo's military strength was indeed strong enough. These 400,000 people plus the 200,000 Ning troops hoarded in Hedong, totaled 600,000. 400,000 of his own side faced 600,000 of the enemy.
, it is another battle in a remote place, and the situation is not optimistic!
Seeing that Tang Yin frowned and said nothing, Lotte smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The brothers hiding in Liangzhou have found out that most of the 400,000 Ning troops staying in Liangzhou are new recruits. Their combat effectiveness is not strong, and they have never been there before."
I have been on the battlefield, even if there are 400,000 people, I am not afraid!"
"That's it!" Tang Yin blinked and laughed. After a while, he squinted his eyes and said faintly: "Now, it's Ning Guo's turn to pay off his debt!"
Du Ji's troops are not many, but they are elite, especially Du Ji's heavy cavalry, which is simply a nightmare for the Ning army. The heavy cavalry is not afraid of the Ning army's arrow formation at all. Once it charges, it will not even be afraid of resisting the horse.
Usually, the horse's belly pushes forward against the resisting horse. Since Ning Guo and Du Ji have always been friendly, the border has not accumulated heavy troops for defense. Du Ji's sudden invasion was overwhelming, and the Ning army defending the city was unable to resist. Within three days, Du Ji had already
They conquered six cities in Ningguo and almost annexed an entire county in the northern part of Ningguo.
Finally, the governor of his county gathered all the Ning soldiers in the county to form an army of 30,000 people, and set up a posture to start a decisive battle with Du Ji's army. If these 30,000 people defended the city, maybe
You can still block Du Ji's army, but in a head-on battle, you will undoubtedly use your own shortcomings to meet the enemy's strong points.
Under the personal command of the county guard, the 30,000 Ning army encountered a 50,000-strong Duji army that was invading southward. The two sides fought on the plain. At the beginning, the Duji army advanced in a square formation with infantry.
However, under the arrow formation of Ning Army, Du Jijun suffered heavy losses, and the infantry phalanx was shot back abruptly. Then, Du Jijun used his trump card and sent 5,000 heavy cavalry to the battlefield to lead the charge.
Ning Guo had never fought with Du Ji, and he was not familiar with the characteristics of Du Ji's army. Seeing that the other party only sent five thousand cavalry to attack his own camp, the county chief laughed, thinking that the other party was attacking the stone with an egg. Even a fool understood that the cavalry
They are the nemesis of infantry, and archers are the nemesis of cavalry. Our soldiers may not be able to charge into battle, but they are all first-rate masters of bows and arrows. The opponent uses cavalry to lead the charge, so this is used as an arrow target for our own soldiers!
When Du Ji's cavalry had charged more than halfway, the county chief gave the order to release arrows in a leisurely manner. However, it was better for the Ning army not to release arrows. Once the arrows were released, they immediately saw that something was wrong, and they relied on
The famous arrow array was not effective at all on the Duji cavalry. The opponents seemed to be made of iron and stone. The arrows hit their bodies and made a clanging sound, but they could not hurt them at all.
At this time, the county chief was so frightened that his hair almost stood on end. He quickly changed his order and asked the soldiers to shoot the enemy's horses. The knights of the heavy cavalry had thick armor, and the armor of the horses was even thicker, especially in front of the horses.
They are all thickened quite a bit. No matter how sharp your arrows are, they will not be able to penetrate such thick armor leaves.
It's useless to shoot people, and it's useless to shoot horses. Now the county chief is dumbfounded, but the enemies on the battlefield will not give you time to consider countermeasures. Soon, Du Ji's heavy cavalry rushed to the Ning army's camp without taking action.
, just the cavalry rushed out of the crowd, trampled to death and injured countless people as they passed by, and the 30,000 Ning army became a mess in an instant.
At this time, Du Ji's infantry went into battle again. More than 40,000 infantrymen separated in a fan shape, surrounded the 30,000 Ning Army, and then joined forces to besiege. It is not unreasonable for the Haotian Empire to turn the Morpheus Federation into a barbarian state. Although the Morpheus Federation
It is backward, but its folk customs are extremely aggressive. In close combat, its soldiers are no different from savages and ferocious beasts. They use all the weapons, fists, feet, and teeth in their hands, and their momentum alone is enough to overwhelm their opponents.
The Ning army fought very hard in this battle. There were heavy cavalry rampaging in the camp, and enemy infantry attacked fiercely outside the camp. The soldiers fell one after another. In less than half an hour, only about 10,000 of the 30,000 Ning army remained.
people.
Seeing that the battle could no longer be fought, the county chief gave up resistance and ordered all surviving soldiers below to lay down their weapons and surrender to Du Ji's army.
It stands to reason that surrender troops who have lost their fighting spirit are usually not killed, but Du Ji understands that his side is deep into the territory of Ning State, and if he wants to protect himself, he must eliminate the effective forces of Ning State. Furthermore, Du Ji, who has been advancing south,
The army could not take so many prisoners. The generals on Duji's side were not polite at all and executed all the surrendered Ning soldiers, including the head of the county.
This battle was the Battle of Shangfang County that was unforgettable for everyone in Ningguo.
After this battle, the entire Shangfang County of Ningguo had completely lost its power to resist Du Ji's army. At this time, Shang Shang County had fallen into the hands of Du Ji. Du Ji's army occupied Shang Shang County and immediately launched a barbaric conquest.
The situation of the Sa army's invasion of Feng State was similar. They robbed whatever they saw. The gold and silver treasures of Ning State were brought back to the country in batches by Du Ji's army. In addition, the people of Shangfang County were not spared. Du Ji's army saw the old
The weak, sick and disabled were all killed, and young men and women were robbed and transported back to the country to be sold as slaves.
For a time, Shangfang County in Ningguo turned into a living hell on earth.
At the same time, the 500,000 elite Ning army commanded by General Ming Xiaotian and Lieutenant General Jin Huan were rushing towards Fangjun at full speed.
Urgent documents from the border kept reaching the palace in Liangzhou like a revolving lantern. Looking at the urgent letter, Yan Chu could imagine the suffering of the people on the border. He wished he could grow wings and fly directly to the border.
In Shangfang County, he fought to the death with the barbarians, but he could not grow wings on his back. As the king of a country, he could not leave the capital rashly and participate in the battle on the front line.
This may be the difference between him and Tang Yin. At this time, Tang Yin, who is also the king of the same country, has begun to pack his bags and prepare for his departure to Tongmen.
