Now that Duki has officially started a battle with the Ning Kingdom, but the situation in the Feng Kingdom is still calm and there is no movement of troops. At this time, the king of Duki, Alden Ehrenreich, is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
He knew well that with Du Ji's national strength, it would be more than enough to catch Ning Guo off guard. Once they encountered Ning Guo's main Central Army, Du Ji's small force could be defeated by someone just walking by. He summoned Tang Yin several times in a row.
The envoy Zhang Fang was sent to ask him when Feng State would send troops to Ning State.
Now Zhang Fang is unsure. He has already reported to Tang Yin the agreed time to send troops, but Tang Yin insists on not sending troops. What can he do? This is what he thinks in his heart, but he cannot say that. Zhang Fang gave Al
Den Erenreich's reply was that the Feng Kingdom was seriously flooded, and it was unknown when it would send troops to the Ning Kingdom.
How could Alden Ehrenreich be satisfied with this vague answer? At this time, there were also voices of dissatisfaction with the king's decision within the Duke's court. Many ministers thought that Alden Ehrenreich believed in Tang Yin's decision.
The rhetoric and the rash dispatch of troops to Ningguo have led to the current situation where Duji is riding a tiger. Now Duji will not give up even if he withdraws from Ningguo. They can only bite the bullet and continue to fight. If news of defeat comes back from the front, Alden Allen
Ricky's throne will soon be in danger.
On the eleventh day of the ninth month of the Fengli calendar, there was finally movement in the Feng Kingdom. The Central Army of the Feng Army launched a grand military parade in Yancheng, the capital of Feng.
This military parade was a grand event, unprecedented. It is unclear how many soldiers of the Wind Army participated. At that time, Yancheng was covered by all the wind flags. The soldiers participating in the military parade entered Yancheng from the north gate, crossed the main road, and went straight to
When waiting for the north gate of the palace, the team changed direction, bypassed the palace, and walked through the main gate of the palace, which is the south gate.
The soldiers of the Feng Army who participated in the military parade were said to have strong soldiers and strong horses. The cavalry in the front was the cavalry. The Feng State's cavalry has never been strong. The Feng State has many mountains and swamps and does not produce good horses. However, since Tang Yin took charge of the Tianyuan Army, he has been buying them on a large scale.
Countless gold and silver have been spent on military horses. Now the war horses of the Feng Army are roughly divided into two categories. One is the war horses purchased from the Mo Kingdom. Most of the riders riding the Mo horses are light cavalry. They are good at speed and are good at close range.
The other type is the Pabuma purchased from Bessa. Most of the riders riding the Pabuma are heavily armored knights. The armor and weapons they hold are much heavier than the light cavalry. The Pabuma does not have the Moma.
Very fast, but strong, good at traveling long distances, and suitable for use in long-distance battles.
Seeing the Feng Army's cavalry slowly passing by in a uniform square formation, the people of the Feng Kingdom who came to watch gave out shouts like landslides and tsunamis, and the crowd was excited and excited. In the past, military parades were basically held in the school military field.
, only the monarchs and ministers can see it, and it has nothing to do with ordinary people. Now that Tang Yin has brought the military parade to the city, it can be regarded as the first of its kind for the Haotian Empire.
At this time, Tang Yin, surrounded by civil and military ministers from all over the dynasty, slowly walked to the palace wall. He raised his eyes and looked down. He was very proud when he looked at the darkness and couldn't even see the cavalry.
, and looking further into the distance, there were countless people. Tang Yin made a rough estimate, and there were at least hundreds of thousands of people who came to watch the military parade. What he didn't know was that now there were even people on both sides of the main road outside the palace.
Countless people from the Feng Kingdom gathered there, making it an empty street.
After the cavalry formation, there is the archer formation. In fact, the current wind army does not distinguish between archers and melee soldiers. When the soldiers pick up their bows and arrows, they become archers, and when they put on their swords, they become melee soldiers. However, in order to complete the military parade, Qiu Zhen
It is better to divide some soldiers into archers.
When the archers passed, the crossbow phalanx followed. In this era when crossbows were not yet popular, Tang Yin played a role in promoting crossbows. After he became king, he specially established the Ordnance Department for Xuanwang and gave it to Xuanwang.
In order to obtain a clear official position, he was given sufficient manpower, materials and space for the purpose of developing ordnance.
Now Fengguo's crossbows have begun mass production, and a large number of them have been assembled into the hands of soldiers in all armies.
Following the crossbowmen is the ordnance logistics army. This square formation is not dominated by people. It is full of large attack equipment, including trebuchets, rams, thunder vehicles, city-breaking crossbows, army-breaking crossbows, etc.
Many people saw these things with their own eyes for the first time in their lives. Whenever a large machine passed by, people couldn't help but exclaim.
Walking at the end is also the finale of the military parade, the melee infantry. No matter how fast the horses are, how sharp the crossbows are, or how domineering the large ordnance is, in the end it is the close combat infantry that can completely defeat the opponent and fully occupy it. Melee infantry
He is the eternally inconvenient protagonist on the battlefield.
The melee infantry of the Feng Army are world-famous for their bravery in battle, and are also known as the tiger and wolf division. Before the square formation of the melee infantry reached the palace, the dull and heavy footsteps could be heard in the distance. The steps of the Feng Army soldiers
It was so neat that it almost made a sound when it moved forward, accompanied by the vibration of the ground.
Boom, boom, boom - at this time, everything inside and outside the palace suddenly became miraculously quiet, leaving only the footsteps of the infantry phalanx getting closer and closer. People subconsciously stretched their necks and looked towards the street with their feet raised.
When the phalanx finally appeared in people's sight, earth-shattering cheers erupted on the field.
Looking towards the infantry phalanx, flags are fluttering, embroidered ribbons are flying, black armor and red tassels, and swords and swords are like forests. Looking up, there is a scarlet patch, while looking down, there is a mass of black, and black and red meet each other. This is the characteristic of the Feng Army.
"Wind, wind, strong wind, strong wind——"
As the infantry walked through the main entrance of the palace, the soldiers shouted in unison, and the shouts immediately reached everyone present. The people outside the palace followed suit, and the guards and ministers inside the palace also shouted. At this time, people's excitement reached the level of the military parade.
the most*.
When news of Feng Country's grand military parade reached Du Qi, Du Qi's royal court, headed by Alden Ehrenreich, was dumbfounded. People almost couldn't believe that this was true. Our side had invaded the territory of Ning Country according to the original agreement.
, and the Feng Kingdom army that promised to join forces with them to fight against Ning is still in Yancheng. Even if the troops are sent out immediately, they will have to wait for months to reach Ning! At this time, even Alden Ehrenreich felt that he was indeed
They were deceived by Tang Yin. The same news reached the King of Ning's court. The kings and ministers of the Ning Kingdom, headed by Yan Chu, all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The main force of the Feng Kingdom was still in Yancheng, and their eastern border was free of worries. Now they could concentrate on dealing with it.
The desperate city-state of Duki in the north.
Unexpectedly, just three days after the incident, the Feng Kingdom's court suddenly posted a notice stating that the Ning Kingdom first occupied the Hedong area of Feng Kingdom's territory, and then colluded with Feng's domestic thief Zhong Tian to kill the late king Zhanhua and tamper with the Feng Kingdom's national title in an attempt to
He made Feng State a vassal state of Ning State. What he did made people and gods angry. The current monarch Tang Yin officially declared war on Ning State in order to avenge the murder of his late king and the loss of his land.
The announcement of this edict against rebellion caused an uproar in the Feng Kingdom. It was not that people opposed the declaration of war against Ning, but that people felt that the matter happened too suddenly and did not hear any news in advance. The Feng Kingdom suddenly declared war on Ning, which also caused Ning's government and opposition parties to
I was greatly surprised. I wonder if Feng Wang Tang Yin took the wrong medicine and dared to declare war on Ning when the country was hit by a disaster. Isn't this looking for death?
The ministers of Ning State also joked about this incident, saying that after defeating Du Ji, they would wait for the army to withdraw and then attack Fengdi to destroy Tang Yin's arrogance.
On the second day after Feng Guo issued the edict against rebellion, Feng's army of 400,000 people had quietly marched out of Tongmen and entered the Hedong area.
As early as the day when the Fengguo military parade ended, Tang Yin quietly left Yancheng, the capital of Feng, and took his generals and counselors on fast horses to go straight to Tongmen. Along the way, everyone ate and slept in the open, with almost no rest. From Yancheng to Tongmen, there were only
It took four days to get there.
After arriving at Tongmen, Tang Yin and his men had a good night's rest. In the early morning of the next day, Tang Yin summoned his generals and discussed the specific details of the attack in detail. Then he had breakfast and the whole army went out.
The first wave to come out was the Tianying Army headed by Ziying. As the front army, the Tianying Army did not attack Xiaoxia or Fengcheng. Instead, it slowly passed through the middle of the two cities and headed towards the hinterland of Hedong.
Go deep.
The reason why the Tianying Army marched slowly was deliberately arranged by Tang Yin. Its purpose was to attract the garrisons of Xiaoxia and Fengcheng to attack. Each of these two cities had 100,000 troops. If they really defended the city, even if there were Pingyuan Army and Sanshui Army,
I'm afraid it won't be easy to defeat them. If we can lure these 200,000 people out of the city and fight on flat ground, our victory will be effortless.
Tang Yin's plan was quite good, but neither Xiaoxia nor Fengcheng fell for it.
The commander of the 100,000 Ning army stationed in Xiaoxia is Lieutenant General Ning Wu Huan. This man is famous for his timidity and is extremely afraid of Yan Chu. The original order Yan Chu gave him was to garrison Xiaoxia without his will, regardless of his will.
No matter what happens, they are not allowed to lead their troops out of the city. The reason why Yan Chu issued such an order was mainly because he was afraid that the generals below would be greedy for power and rush to attack Tongmen. Currently, Tongmen is guarded by 200,000 soldiers, which is as strong as a copper wall.
If our own side sends troops to attack, not only will we not be able to defeat them, we will also suffer more casualties.
Wu Huan didn't know what Yan Chu's purpose was. He only remembered the king's order to station himself in Xiaoxia and not leave the city. At this time, when he came to report, he suddenly discovered that a wind army of about 100,000 people suddenly entered Hedong and was about to
Passing slowly between Xiaoxia and Fengcheng.
Hearing the news, the generals under Wu Huan were overjoyed. One hundred thousand people from Feng Kingdom came, and they left between Xiaoxia and Fengcheng. Isn't this a good opportunity to attack the Feng Army from both sides and achieve extraordinary feats? Everyone
The general immediately asked Wu Huan to fight, asking him to inform the lieutenant general stationed in Fengcheng to severely punish him and send troops from two sides to attack the Feng army.
After hearing the invitations from the generals below, Wu Huan shook his head like a rattle, and said quietly: "Your Majesty has an order, and we are ordered to stay here and not come out. If I send troops now, even if I can accomplish extraordinary feats, I will still be disobeying the order.
Don't worry, I'm going to lose my head. If I don't send troops now, I'm just following the king's orders. No matter where his troops go, it has nothing to do with me."
