Episode 10 Chapter 378
Listening to what Ai Jia said, Tang Yin also remembered that the Diwang had recently acquired a new group of hunters from the Zheng Kingdom. At that time, she brought those people to the palace for him to see, for the latest chapter of a man named Amuke. .
Since Ai Jia was confident that he could pass the order to Bai Zhanjun, he would certainly be happy to see it happen. Tang Yin nodded and said, "Okay! I'll leave this matter to you, Diwang."
"I obey!" Ai Jia agreed simply and backed away.
Ai Jia's self-confidence did not come out of nowhere. Amuke and his tribe are indeed good at climbing over mountains and wading through mountains and rivers. To others, Panling may be the only way to go, but for people like Amuke who live all year round, Panling may be the only way to go. For hunters who make a living by hunting and collecting herbs in the deep mountains, walking on flat ground is no obstacle at all.
That day, Ai Jia found Amuke and asked him to select two smart and capable tribesmen to cross Panling and convey the king's order to the Bai Zhan Army in Changdu. Amuke took the order, and in accordance with Ai Jia's request, he selected two young and strong young men among the tribe, then handed Tang Yin's handwriting to the two of them, and asked them to pass through Panling among the mountains and ridges to go to the usual place. All.
Amuke's tribe did not disappoint Tang Yin and Ai Jia. They successfully left Panling in just three days and used falcons to send the news back to the Fengjun camp.
After receiving this news, Tang Yin was very happy. All he had to do now was to wait for the Hundreds of War Army to attack Mo Jun from behind, and then he could attack the Mo Jun in Panling from both sides.
However, things did not go as smoothly as he imagined.
A few days later, the letter from Diwang was sent back again, this time from Changdu. The content of the letter was personally written by Nie Ze, the coach of the Hundred War Army. In the letter, Nie Ze clearly stated that there was no possibility of the Bai Zhan Army turning back to Panling.
It's not that Nie Ze disobeyed Tang Yin's order, but that the Bai Zhan Army really couldn't withdraw now. Ever since they learned that the Feng Army had captured Changdu, the county seat of Zeping County, the Mo court was greatly shocked. Two hundred thousand Central Army troops were directly dispatched from Zhenjiang to Zeping for reinforcements. At the same time, Shao Fang also ordered the two counties of Sishui and Tianyang. Divide your troops to reinforce Zeping. Now, Mo's three reinforcements have advanced into Zeping County from the east, west and south, and quickly gathered towards Changdu, forming a three-sided encirclement against the Baizhan Army stationed in Changdu.
Now if the Bai Zhan Army withdraws from Changdu and goes north to attack Panling, I am afraid that they will not be able to reach Pan Ling and will be overtaken by the Mo army. By then, three groups of Mo armies will besiege the Bai Zhan Army. Even if the Zhen people are brave and good at fighting, I am afraid that they will not be able to reach Pan Ling. You will also suffer a big loss. Therefore, at this time, the Baizhan Army could only stay in Changdu, rely on Changdu's city defense, and fight to the death with Mo's reinforcements.
It can be said that the situation of the Hundred Wars Army is much more critical than that of Tang Yin's side. The three reinforcements from Moguo, totaling no less than 600,000 troops, are coming fiercely. The Hundred Wars Army itself cannot protect itself. Not only can it not help Tang Yin's side, but it is also in urgent need of help. Tang Yinwei's Feng army broke through Panling and went to Changdu for reinforcements.
Nie Ze's letter was sent back to the Feng Army camp, causing an uproar among the Feng generals. Unexpectedly, Mo State had assembled such a large army in such a short period of time.
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Mo Country is a traditional powerful country. Although it suffered losses in the First Battle of Feng Mo and the Battle of Fa Zhen, the vitality of the country has not been damaged. Moreover, Mo Country has been without war for more than a hundred years and its population is prosperous. , many young and strong, which gives Mo State a strong ability to recruit new soldiers. As long as Mo State is not beaten to death with a stick, and as long as Mo State’s court is not completely destroyed, with Mo State’s strong national power, Mo State will be able to recruit new soldiers in a very short period of time. Can restore peak military power. This is exactly what is so scary about Mo Country.
Tang Yin's side was blocked by Panling, and Bai Zhanjun's side had to face the encirclement of 600,000 Mo troops. The period of advantage for the Feng army to send troops to Mo country was over, and now it was entering a period of fierce fighting between the two armies.
As the war gradually became more difficult, people did not think of the three corps of Yu, An, and Huan until this time.
Now the Feng Army urgently needs the three armies of Yu, An, and Huan to advance into the Mo Kingdom, so as to contain the Central Army of the Mo Kingdom and win opportunities for itself. However, the Three Kingdoms have not yet had troops. To be more precise, the armies of the Three Kingdoms have not yet entered the Mo Kingdom.
In fact, the armies of Yu, An, and Huan have been hoarded at the border of Mo. There are two main reasons why they have not broken through. When Feng State had just sent troops to Mo State, Sichuan King Xiao Xuan had already said that Feng State's war against Mo State was a barbaric invasion. No principality should side with Feng State, otherwise it would be an enemy of justice and an enemy of Mo State. The Sichuan State is an enemy, and the Sichuan State will definitely retaliate against it in the future.
Xiao Xuan's straightforward threat had a great deterrent effect on An and Huan. The two countries wanted to send troops to Mo and carve up Mo's territory with Feng, but they had to worry about Sichuan, so the two countries Although the army was assembled at the border of Mozambique, they did not dare to enter rashly. To put it bluntly, the two countries are also waiting for a clear advantage to emerge in the Fengmo battle. If Mo Country has an overwhelming advantage, then they will give up their plan to send troops to Mo Country and stand on the side of Sichuan Country. If Feng Country has an overwhelming advantage, then Feng Country, which annexed Mo Country, will be stronger in terms of national strength. They are no longer weaker than the Sichuan Kingdom, and they can safely and boldly stand on the Feng Kingdom's side, no longer afraid of the Sichuan Kingdom's retaliation in the future.
As for the Jade Kingdom, it does not have the same concerns as the An and Huan Kingdoms. Regardless of whether the Jade Kingdom listens to the orders of the Sichuan Kingdom or not, based on the relationship between the Jade Kingdom and the Feng Kingdom, it is the enemy of the Sichuan Kingdom. Now the Jade Kingdom can only stand by the Feng Kingdom. On this side of the country, everything is prosperous and everything is prosperous. The Jade Army did not enter Mo Country. It was not that the Yu Army did not want to come in, but that it did not enter.
The Jade Army sent troops to the Mo Kingdom from Sishui County. To enter Sishui County, they had to take over the border city of Mo Kingdom, Chilongtan. The location of Chilongtan was quite special, with mountains behind it and a depression in front of it. It was not easy to attack the city, and to attack Chilongtan, they had to attack from the bottom up, which doubled the difficulty. The Mo Kingdom defenders waited for the opportunity in Chilongtan and defended the city. The Jade Army launched several fierce attacks, but all failed. If they could not take down Chilongtan, the Jade Army would not dare to advance rashly. Otherwise, the rear supplies would be cut off and the situation of the Jade Army would be in great danger.
The armies of the three countries of Yu, An, and Huan wanted to enter the Mo Kingdom but could not, and on the other hand, they were worried and could enter but did not dare to act rashly. It was precisely because of these two reasons that the armies of the three countries of Yu, An, and Huan did not advance into the Mo Kingdom to cooperate with the Feng Army in the battle.
Intelligence from various places was continuously transmitted to the Feng Army camp. There was basically no good news, but all unsatisfactory bad news. Knowing that the armies of An and Huan were not moving at the border, the generals of Feng cursed the two countries for being shameless. They had promised to work together to destroy Mo, but now the armies of the two countries were all waiting and watching. They were simply fickle villains.
Tang Yin was also very angry. It was really difficult for countries like An and Huan to conspire for great things together! But hatred could not solve the problem. Even if he cursed the ancestors of the two countries now, he could not curse the armies of the two countries.
The most important thing at the moment was to quickly gain an advantage over the Mo army. Otherwise, if the war was delayed for a long time, Chuan might intervene, and An and Huan might also turn to Chuan and join forces with Chuan and Mo to fight against him. At that time, if things went wrong, the second Feng-killing alliance would be formed.
If the Feng Army wants to gain an advantage over the Mo Army, it must first eliminate the main force of the Mo Army in Zeping County. To eliminate the main force of the Mo Army, it is far from enough to rely on the Baizhan Army alone. It also depends on the cooperation of the entire army. In the end, breaking through Panling is still the top priority.
At this time, Tang Yin has made up his mind that even if the entire army suffers a great loss, he must break through Panling as soon as possible and join the Baizhan Army.
Before Tang Yin's order to attack Panling was issued, a pigeon came from Yancheng, and the content was from the Military and Political Hall.
The Military and Political Hall has made a detailed study of the current situation of the Feng Army, and has also changed the original deployment. Now they have proposed a new plan for Tang Yin, decisively abandoning Panling, withdrawing from Zeping County, and attacking Sishui County instead.
Now the Mo army stationed in Sishui has accepted Shao Fang's deployment, and more than half of the troops have entered Zeping County to encircle and suppress the Baizhan Army. Sishui's troops are empty. Our side attacks Sishui, firstly, to occupy this strategic location, and secondly, to help the Jade Army open the door to the Mo Kingdom and assist the Jade Army to enter the Mo Kingdom.
However, this plan can also be called an illusion. According to the prediction of the Military and Political Hall, once our army withdraws from Zeping, the Mo army stationed in Panling will also withdraw from Panling, and go to encircle and suppress the Baizhan Army in Changdu together with the other three Mo armies.
Therefore, if our army wants to withdraw from Zeping, it must withdraw in a big way, and secretly leave a legion to ambush near Panling. As long as the Mo army stationed in Panling retreats, this legion will seize Panling with lightning speed.
If the Mo army was not fooled, and remained unmoved even after seeing their army withdraw, and continued to stay in Panling, then they would turn the illusion of attacking Sishui into reality, use the Baizhan Army as bait, attract the main force of the Mo army, and take the opportunity to capture Sishui and join the Yu army.
It can be said that this move is a two-pronged strategy. If the Mo army is deceived by the Feng army's fake retreat, then the Feng army will take Panling. If the Feng army's move does not deceive the Mo army, then it doesn't matter. They will change the feint attack to a real attack and occupy Sishui.
After reading the plan proposed by the Military and Political Hall, Tang Yin couldn't help but knock his forehead repeatedly. The new battle plan of the Military and Political Hall sounds complicated, but it is actually very simple. It is the plan of "repairing the plank road in the open and crossing Chencang in secret". How could I, who is familiar with so many battle examples in history, not think of it?
Without thinking carefully, Tang Yin has determined that the new plan proposed by the Military and Political Hall is a good plan based on his intuition. He immediately summoned all the generals in the army and announced this plan.
