Chapter 345 Anxiety
More and more people around began to praise Anyang, especially the heads of those mercenary regiments, who left happily one by one, ready to go to Nanyang County to occupy a piece of their own territory.
But in the surrounding area, there are some staff from embassies of various countries looking at the current situation solemnly. The unconditional merger of Dongyuan County into Anyang and Anyang's actions against Nanyang County seem to indicate that a new chaos has begun to sprout; industry and commerce are eroding the ancient system at an unprecedented speed.
I don't know what the future holds? But once the matter starts, once some people have tasted the sweetness, the matter cannot be stopped!
Anyang's greatest success is not only its own development, but more importantly, it has created a new interest system without destroying the original vested interest class, and has used this to win over its own "circle". At this moment, if someone wants to destroy this circle and this new interest system, without Li Xian asking, those with vested interests will rise up and kill people.
…………
In the north, Emperor Cai Guo is in Shangyong City, and Cao Guobin has been staying on the city wall for two days; however, two days have passed, neither Tang nor Xiao have come to attack, and it seems that they have given up the remaining land of Cai .
The scouts have already found out the situation. Tang Guo is now demarcating borders along some old mountains, rivers, swamp fortresses and other places, and has no plans to continue sending troops. After occupying the four and a half counties in the east of Cai State, Tang State and Anyang actually controlled their greed sensibly.
There is also the Xiao Kingdom, after occupying the three and a half counties in the south of the Cai Kingdom, they also determined the border along the natural barriers, and never launched an attack again.
The borders of both sides are between 100 and 150 miles away from Shangyong City. This distance is very good, just enough to restrain Shangyong City, the army moves, only a half-day march away, so that Shangyong City does not dare to act rashly.
This form made the soldiers in Shangyong City ecstatic. It seems that we can withstand it for three days; after three days, we will be able to retreat safely.
However, Cao Guobin frowned. There are some things that ordinary soldiers and lower-level personnel cannot see, only the upper-level personnel and the eyes of the upper-level can see! What Cao Guobin and Huang Fu planned, what Cai Guo needed was not only to defend the imperial capital for three days, but also to buy time for the large troops to retreat.
More importantly, it dragged Xiao Guo, Tang Guo, and even Anyang into the quagmire of Cai Guo; then, after the central government of Cai Guo moved to Sanchuan and stabilized, it let go of the northwest and western borders. In this way, not only can the three to five million elites be recovered, but it can also attract the attacks of Chen Guo, Zheng Guo, and even Deng Guo.
But now, Tang Guo and Xiao Guo are not attacking anymore! So, will Cai Guo continue with his original strategic plan?
If you don't continue, it seems that you can keep more than half of the territory, which seems good; but no one can guarantee whether Tang and Xiao will continue to attack.
If it continues, the situation will be very bad. Tang and Xiao have enough time to stop, have not been involved in the quagmire set by Cai Guo, and are even consolidating their borders. At that time, even if Chen Guo and Zheng Guo are included, there will be no expected five-party or even six-party hegemony.
Without melee, Cai Guo would not be able to fish in troubled waters! Unable to fish in troubled waters, it will be difficult for Cai Guo to have a chance to change, perhaps he really wants to "bound himself in a cocoon".
The situation is critical, and Cao Guobin is very anxious. Sometimes things are so strange, when Tang Guo and Xiao Guo stopped attacking, Cao Guobin became anxious. What Cao Guobin is thinking in his heart now is - you come and hit me, come and hit me, you will not be happy if you don't hit me.
But now, Cao Guobin thought about it for a long time, but he had to stay. At least there is a nail here, so Xiao Guo and Tang Guo will have scruples; when necessary, he can take the initiative to attack!
It's a pity that Yan Zhengqing, Li Yulong, and Xiao Liming are not idiots, and everyone can understand what Cai Guo is thinking as soon as they turn their eyes. Although he was surprised by Cai Guo's boldness and generosity, he still saw through Cai Guo's strategy.
For Li Yulong and Tang Guo, due to the location, it is not appropriate to go too deep, so temporarily suspend. And Xiao Liming was very greedy. Although he didn't attack Shangyong City, he had sent 150,000 elite soldiers to pursue Cai Guo's escaped Central Group, and wanted to rob wealth, materials, talents, etc.
After a day and night of chasing, the 100,000 troops led by Prince Xiao Yunlong finally caught up with the slow-moving Emperor Cai and the others. He was caught up when he was about to enter Sanchuan!
Needless to say, when he saw the 100,000 elite soldiers led by Xiao Yunlong chasing him from behind, how exciting His Majesty Cai's face was!
Huang Fu was the first to jump out: "Your Majesty, the situation has changed. Cao Guobin didn't even buy us three days. Please lead the elites and family members in front of us to enter Sanchuan as soon as possible.
The minister stayed behind. We must buy enough time for His Majesty. "
Emperor Cai Guo looked at the mountains in front of him, and it only took half a day to enter Sanchuan, and this was the only way to go at this time. "Aiqing, I will give you 30,000 elites. According to the protection of the mountains and rivers here, there is no need to fight to the death, and a delay of two hours is enough!"
Two hours, really not much.
At the beginning, the reason why Cao Guobin was asked to fight for three days was to consider the time to "completely control Sanchuan"; now that the situation has been ignored, he can only strive to enter Sanchuan, and the rest will be discussed later. But just entering Sanchuan, there are two more hours, more than enough.
There were only 100,000 people who fled from Emperor Cai's side, and 50,000 family members, talents, etc. It is a very risky thing to leave 30,000 elites to Huang Fu, and it is also a kind of absolute trust. But at this time, I really don't care too much, and I don't have time to think carefully.
After Huang Fu got 30,000 people, he immediately set up a formation against the mountain and set up a formation. The 30,000 people are all real elites, and Huang Fu is still full of confidence to block the 100,000 people chasing after Xiao Guo.
But before that, Huang Fu had to figure out what was going on with Cao Guobin?
Seeing Xiao Guo's 100,000 troops spread across the mountains and rivers like waves, Huang Fu boldly flew to the front of the team, "Who is here? I am Huang Fu, Prime Minister of Cai Guo."
Xiao Yunlong also flew out: "Xiao Yunlong, Crown Prince of Xiao Kingdom, has met Prime Minister Huang."
Seeing Xiao Yunlong flying out, Huang Fu yelled angrily: "My Cai country has never taken the initiative to attack Xiao country, why do you attack my Cai country?"
Xiao Yunlong mocked, "Because...you are weak! Prime Minister Huang, you are really a prime minister in vain, and you don't even see the essence of the fairyland clearly.
In Immortal Realm, being strong is justified, and being weak is evil in itself. Because you Cai Guo is weak, I declare that you are guilty!
Everyone listened to the order, and 50,000 people were assigned to hold Huang Fu; the rest went around and blocked Emperor Cai and others! "
Although mountains and rivers can hinder marching, for practitioners, mountains and rivers can be used as support, but not as support; because practitioners can fly.
Xiao Guo's army immediately divided into two parts, 50,000 people charged directly, preparing to entangle with the army led by Huang Fu; the remaining 50,000 people were preparing to bypass the defense from the side and chase the fleeing Emperor Cai in front.
The meaning of Xiao Guo is very clear. Now, the most important thing is to obtain Cai Guo's wealth, talents, materials, etc.; in the end, wars and victories are really unnecessary.
"You dare!" Huang Fu was furious, "Everyone listen to the order, set up the formation, seal the sky and lock the earth!"
Cai Guo's army quickly mobilized, based on people, and provided spiritual energy with the cultivation of each elite soldier. A dozen large and small formations were quickly formed on the battlefield; A group of people are completely protected.
As soon as the Great Formation of Fengtiansuodi was opened, the area above the battlefield became a "ground battlefield". All people, no matter whether they were Cai Guo's or Xiao Guo's soldiers, could only fight on foot. Related, are not available. Here, it has temporarily become a deserted area of spiritual energy and practice.
Seeing this, Xiao Yunlong, the crown prince of the Xiao Kingdom, smiled angrily, "Okay, let's see how long you can hold on with such a large formation with manpower!"
The array is not so easy to arrange, otherwise there will be no auxiliary items such as array flags and array maps, and spirit stones are used as the eyes of the array; it is so simple to directly use practitioners to arrange the array.
The biggest advantage of the array is to play beyond the level, and the biggest problem is also - to play beyond the level, and since it is to play beyond the level, it will naturally cause huge pressure on the base. Array flags, spirit stones, etc. can fully withstand this kind of pressure; but practitioners cannot. The formations arranged by hundreds of thousands of elites in the Qi refining period even reached the middle and late stages of the Foundation Establishment period in a short period of time.
This formation is a different kind of weapon. If you want to use a weapon to attack the enemy, you must first be able to withstand the pressure of the weapon; therefore, the first to feel the pressure of the formation is the person who set up the formation. Under this kind of pressure, these soldiers can only persist for half an hour at most, and they will be exhausted, and they are exhausted. At that time, soldiers who are mentally exhausted and lack real energy will not be able to resist the ensuing killings.
The Great Array of Thousand Swords is the most obvious example. After an attack, soldiers are basically temporarily disabled.
Therefore, seeing this, Xiao Yunlong just asked the army to go up to harass rather than attack. When the enemy was exhausted, it was time to harvest.
Xiao Guo's soldiers surrounded the periphery of the formation, constantly wandering; they used a skill called "taunting and provocation" to the extreme. As long as they see Cai Guo soldiers slack, they will go forward to attack; and once Cai Guo soldiers urge the formation with all their strength, they will retreat again, and then cynicism, and even throw stones from a distance.
An interesting phenomenon happened here, that is - spells. It can be said that success and failure are spells. In the past, the guns and artillery produced by Xiao Guo and Cai Guo were all ignited by magic because there was no such thing as thunder and fire; , the spell can't be used, so naturally this gun can't be used either!
No matter Cai Guo or Xiao Guo, they did not carry bulky cannons during this hasty journey, but only brought guns produced by themselves. Now that the guns cannot be ignited, everyone has started to fight the bayonet again.
Huang Fu's complexion is dark. It's really a shame to fight like this. However, ever since a Li Xian came to the world, the way of fighting in the East of Yingzhou has already begun to "reform".
At this moment, the war has become a war of attrition. But Cai Guo spent more.
Time passed by, and Huang Fu gradually became anxious; if he persisted like this, he would really die for the country——I don't want to die yet, I haven't reached the level of Yan Ze'an, and I haven't become the most powerful man in the world characters!
It seems that God heard Huang Fu's call, and there was the sound of banners and flags waving behind him; Huang Fu turned his head and saw that it was an elite group of Cai Guo. It is a forest of banners. On the banner, there is a big "leaf".
"It's Marshal Ye!" Seeing this flag, Cai Guo immediately cheered.
Marshal Ye and Ye Weirong, one of the Marshals of Cai Guo, have been in charge of guarding Sanchuan. Sanchuan is Cai Guo's granary and an important foundation of Cai Guo, so of course someone must be sent to handle it. Now, Ye Weirong finally arrived.
Seeing this, Xiao Yunlong, Prince Xiao's pupils constricted, "It turned out to be Ye Weirong, the commander who is on par with Yan Zhengqing. If we continue to fight, we may have no chance of winning, so withdraw.
In addition, send someone to inform the Taiwei Xiao Zhenwu, who is in charge of intercepting the information in the west, to withdraw his troops. "
