The Central Army of the Mo Kingdom stationed in Bailin was ambushed by four regiments of the Pingyuan Army headed by Jiang Fan. The Mo army was completely defeated in this battle. Most of the 80,000 troops were lost, and the remaining soldiers also fled.
They dispersed, and in the end, only two generals and more than 800 Mo soldiers were left by Lu Hongming's side.
After the battle, Lu Hongming seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant. He fled back to Bailin in a hurry with the hundreds of defeated soldiers. When he arrived at Bailin, he did not stop for a moment. Although there were still 20,000 Mo troops here, they were not as large as the Feng troops.
There was a big difference in comparison. He felt that once the Feng army attacked, he would never be able to hold on. Rather than sit back and wait for death, it was better to take the initiative to evacuate.
After Lu Hongming returned to Bailin, he ordered the entire army to pack up their armaments and supplies, then led his army out of the city, abandoned the city and fled, heading south to join Huben's army.
Soon, the news of Lu Hongming's defeat also spread to Yangchuan. After hearing this, Li Rong's expression suddenly changed. Sure enough, the Feng army's strong attack on Xiguo was indeed a feint attack. Its purpose was to attract reinforcements from the armies of Yangchuan and Bailin. They were so good.
Ambushed him on the way. Fortunately, he was on guard, so he didn't do anything wrong with the army.
However, as soon as Lu Hongming withdrew, a big hole had been opened in Mo's border defense. Feng's army could go south through Bailin and enter the hinterland of Mo. Now Li Rong only had two choices left, either to stick to Yangchuan or to follow suit.
Lu Hongming abandoned the city and went south to join Huben's army and plan another counterattack.
After some careful consideration, Li Rong finally decided to stay in Yangchuan. Even if the Feng Army broke through his own defense line and broke into the hinterland of the Mo Kingdom, he still had to keep the Feng Army's rear quiet, at least to disrupt the Feng Army's logistics.
Create as many favorable conditions as possible for the Huben Army's operations.
Li Rong's strategic thinking was very correct, but he underestimated Feng State's determination to fight Mo State this time. The Feng Army entering Mo State was far more than just the Pingyuan Army, followed closely behind.
The Feng Kingdom Flying Dragon Army led by Zuo Shuang.
Jiang Fan successfully ambushed Bailin's army, and its leader, Lu Hongming, abandoned the city and fled. This news shocked Xiao Muqing. He immediately sent a message to Jiang Fan to occupy Bailin quickly so that his side could have a solid stronghold first. As for Yang
On the Sichuan side, Li Rong was not fooled, and Xiao Muqing did not intend to attack by force. He recruited Wu Guang's troops who were ambushing between Yangchuan and Xiashui, and then joined forces to attack Xiashui.
Under the continuous attacks of Pingyuan Army's trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows, Xiashui Town's city defenses have long been scarred. Many sections of the city wall were riddled with holes and were crumbling. Now tens of thousands of Pingyuan Army launched a forceful attack. The defenders in the city
No longer able to support it.
The Feng army pushed a large number of rams onto the battlefield, specifically targeting the severely damaged areas of the city wall. Not long after the battle between the two sides, a section of the city wall in Xiashui Town was forcibly collapsed by the rams, causing a large section of the city wall to be cracked three to four meters wide.
Gap.
The Feng army outside the city moved their chariots, swarmed in along the gap, and rushed into the city. With the city wall as a barrier, the local army that launched the water could barely withstand the Feng army. Now that the Feng army has entered the city, where is the local army?
Can you still withstand it?
The generals of the Mo army wanted to organize manpower to block the gap, but before the Mo army could get close, they were chopped down by the charging Feng army. Wu Guang took the lead and stood at the front, waving his spiritual sword, Ling Chao
?The wind was released continuously, and Mo Jun fell down piece by piece in front of him, leaving the broken limbs and broken arms crushed by the spirit blade scattered all over the ground.
A general of the Mo army saw Wu Guang's bravery and wanted to stop him. However, he couldn't even survive three rounds in front of Wu Guang, so he was slashed in the waist by Wu Guang and cut into two pieces.
The local army's combat effectiveness was not strong, but at this time they encountered the extremely ferocious Pingyuan Army, which instantly collapsed and disintegrated. A large number of local troops had no fighting spirit. Those who were killed cried for their fathers and cried for their mothers, and ran into the city rolling and crawling.
The Pingyuan Army led by Wu Guang then pursued and killed them, and the siege battle evolved into street fighting.
In front of the Pingyuan Army, the 50,000 local army had no power to fight back. As soon as the northern city was broken, the defenders ran into the city. By the time the Pingyuan Army pursued them into the city, the local army had already fled to the south city. When the Pingyuan Army pursued them,
When they arrived at Nancheng, the local army had abandoned the city and fled outside the city.
After the battle, many Pingyuan Army officers did not even see the enemy's face. They felt that the enemy was always pointing at them from the back of their heads, which made people dumbfounded.
Although Hu Xian was not an excellent general and was very timid and fearful of death, he did not dare to run south after breaking the city. Instead, he went west and fled to Yangchuan to join Li Rong.
In his opinion, escaping to Yangchuan still has the possibility of recapturing the water, and he also has the opportunity to make amends for his past mistakes. However, if he escapes south, there is no hope at all. Even if he can escape the pursuit of the Feng Army, he may not be able to escape the king.
Heavy penalties.
Hu Xian fled to Yangchuan with more than 30,000 local army remnants and joined Li Rong's troops. Xiao Muqing did not pursue him or lead his troops to attack Yangchuan. Instead, he chose to continue southward and go deep into the hinterland of Mo State.
Send the Pingyuan Army Company's success in Moguo and Bailin back to the country.
The Pingyuan Army did not station in Xiashui and continued to move south into the hinterland of the Mo Kingdom. This allowed Li Rong to see an opportunity. If he could take the opportunity to recapture Xiashui and Bailin, he would be locking the Pingyuan Army inside the Mo Kingdom.
You can only let yourself be slaughtered.
But when he thought about it again, he felt something was wrong. Xiao Muqing, the commander-in-chief of the Pingyuan Army, was not a mediocre commander. Didn't he understand that Bailin would leave an opportunity for his opponent to cut off his retreat if he abandoned his defense? Is there some fraud involved?
Li Rong was a suspicious person by nature, and he had learned from past mistakes. Although he was aware of the appearance of fighter planes, he still dared not send troops.
On the other side, the Feng Army was also very puzzled by Xiao Muqing's decision. Although it didn't take much effort to capture Xiashui and Bailin, it couldn't just leave a few thousand brothers to garrison it? After all, Yangchuan had not yet been captured by our side.
, What if the Mo army in Yangchuan takes this opportunity to attack in a large scale? Going into the water and losing Bailin is a small thing, but being trapped with one hundred thousand troops is a big deal.
Wu Guang and Jiang Fan also didn't understand Xiao Muqing's thoughts. They asked Xiao Muqing about this when they went south with the army. The latter smiled confidently and said: "Although I don't know much about Yangchuan Commander Li Rong, I know that by going into the water
In the battle, it can be seen that this person is cautious and has a suspicious temperament. Even if our army did not leave a single soldier in Xiashui and Bailin, he would not dare to invade lightly. "
After listening to his words, Wu Guang and Jiang Fan secretly took a breath. The former frowned and asked: "What if Li Rong sends troops to attack, won't our army be attacked from both sides and be in a desperate situation?"
Xiao Muqing shook her head confidently and vowed: "He will never do it."
"But what if?"
Xiao Muqing's eyes flashed with a faint light, and she sighed: "If Li Rong is really stupid enough to send troops to attack Xiashui or Bailin, our army will no longer have to worry about anything."
What kind of bullshit is this? Wu Guang and Jiang Fan were dumbfounded when they heard this. They couldn't understand what Xiao Muqing was thinking. They even wondered if his head was broken. Going into the water and Bailin were their own retreat, and there were only a few thousand people stationed there.
, how come Li Rongruo attacks, but his own side doesn’t have any worries?
Even generals like Wu Guang and Jiang Fan couldn't understand Xiao Muqing's thoughts, and Mo Jun, headed by Li Rong, couldn't understand it even more.
Li Rongneng could keep his composure and turned a blind eye to Xiashui and Bailin, who were so close and almost empty, and refused to send troops. However, Hu Xian, who had escaped, could not wait any longer. The Feng army did not stay behind Xiashui and passed directly through the city.
What a rare opportunity it is. If you don’t take this opportunity to seize the water, then how long will you wait?
After hearing the news that the Feng Army was heading south, Hu Xian immediately went to Li Rong and asked him to send troops to recapture Xiashui. Li Rong shook his head like a rattle and said repeatedly: "That's not right, that's not right! The Feng Army is acting strangely.
I’m afraid there’s some fraud involved!”
Hu Xian was so anxious that he poked his hand repeatedly and said urgently: "General Li, the spies have found out clearly that the main force of the Feng Army is indeed going south, and there are less than 3,000 defenders left in the water. General Li, as long as we send troops,
It is easy to recapture Xiashui Town and trap the Feng Army within our borders..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Rong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Has General Hu forgotten General Lu's lessons learned?"
"this……"
"If you hadn't claimed that the launch of the water was urgent and sent people continuously to urge for reinforcements, how could General Lu have been ambushed by the stroke army? Now that you are here to urge troops again, I will never respond to you!" Li Rong said decisively.
Hu Xian's face turned red after being talked about by Li Rong. He hesitated for a long time before stammering: "But...but the situation now is different from that then..."
"In my opinion, there is no difference. The Feng Army's actions were unexpected and uncharacteristic. If there is no fraud in it, it can only show that the commander of the Feng Army is a fool who does not know how to fight! Do you dare to believe that the commander of the Pingyuan Army does not know how to fight? Yes.
Are you a fool?"
Under Li Rong's barrage of questioning, Hu Xian was speechless and ran out of words.
In fact, the reason why Xiao Muqing dared to leave his rear to Mo Jun was simply because he had something to rely on. His reliance was the 150,000-strong Feilong Army.
As a support to the Pingyuan Army, the Feilong Army will also head to Mo Country in the short term. Yangchuan left behind by the Pingyuan Army will be the Feilong Army's primary attack target after entering Mo.
If Li Rong defends Yangchuan, it will not be easy for the Feilong Army to forcefully break the city. If Li Rong divides his troops to occupy Xiashui and Bailin and cannot concentrate his forces, then the Feilong Army can easily defeat them one by one. Because of this,
Xiao Muqing then concluded that if Li Rongzhen sent troops to capture Shuihe Bailin, he would be seeking death, and the Pingyuan Army would no longer have any worries.
It can be said that as the commander-in-chief of an army, Xiao Muqing has already understood the battle situation, and his own actions and the enemy's actions are all part of his calculations.
His eagerness to go south was not to induce Li Rong to divide his troops, but because he was concerned about the concentration of Mo's army.
As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and swift. If the Pingyuan Army wants to achieve a glorious result in the Mo Kingdom, it must annihilate them one by one before a large number of Mo troops gather. Once the military strength of the Mo Kingdom is formed, it will not be easy for the Pingyuan Army to defeat the enemy.
What's more, he is still thinking about Mo's Tiger Army.
