Chapter 841

Tang Yin studied Fan Shan's opinions carefully and finally decided to adopt them. It's not that he thinks Fan Shan's strategy is brilliant, but that he can't think of any other way to deal with the enemy. However, Tang Yin did not break his promise and promoted Fan Shan's post as a military counselor.

The rank of the officers engaged in with the army is higher than that of the military counselors, second only to the military division with the army. They can speak directly to the king and are also qualified to participate in large-scale military conferences.

According to Fan Shan's advice, Tang Yin left the western frontier army in Gaochuan county and ordered it to avoid the enemy's edge and hide in the jungle, specializing in the logistics of sneaking attack on the enemy.

Tang Yin's ability to keep the west frontier army headed by Zuo Shuang in Gaochuan county showed great trust in Zuo Shuang and the western frontier army, which made Zuo Shuang excited and determined to follow Tang Yin to death. In the next battle, the western frontier army in Gaochuan county greatly restrained the Chuan Zhen united army, which greatly reduced Tang Yin's pressure.

On the other hand, Tang Yin sent Chifeng army and west frontier army successively. Under his command, only the army directly under his command and the new army were left, and the number of troops was sharply reduced to 200000. However, there are still hidden dangers in these 200000 people. The combat effectiveness of the new army is a big headache for Tang Yin.

Tang Yin didn't stop in Gaochuan county. He went all the way to the northeast and went straight to Jinyang.

Five days later, the wind force arrived in Jinyang.

When he arrived at Jinyang, Tang Yin couldn't tell what it was like. In fact, Jinyang is not small, but the problem is that its city wall is very small, with a radius of only a few miles. Outside the city wall, there are dense residential buildings and streets. If all these houses are included, the area of Jinyang will have to be expanded by at least one or two times.

Obviously, there was a problem with the original planning of Jinyang, and the city was built too small. With the increase of population, the original urban area could not accommodate so many people. The people who had no place to live could only build houses around the city wall.

After the Fengjun arrived in Jinyang, they had to clear the people inside and outside the city wall. Otherwise, when the war comes, we will not know how many people will be killed by mistake!

Tang Yin also ordered Letian and Aijia to send letters to the city lords of songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng, respectively, to organize troops and manpower for defense. The main force of the Sichuan Zhenjiang alliance might attack at any time. After receiving the order of Tang Yin, the city lords of the three cities sent letters to the counties and counties asking for immediate reinforcement. At the same time, they gathered the officers and soldiers in the city to strengthen the city defense and store grain and grass.

Only one day after the Fengjun arrived in Jinyang, the whole people of Jinyang ran away, leaving only a few willing to stay as coolies. However, the city master of Jinyang city did not run, nor did he dare to run. He organized a small number of officers and soldiers and strong men in the city to cooperate with the wind force in the deployment of defense.

Tang Yin inspected his side's defense on the city wall and looked at the empty houses inside and outside the city. He sighed that in the battle at home, no matter whether the battle was smooth or not, it was the common people who suffered in the end.

There is no waste of those houses outside the city wall. Although the mechanism traps are arranged door to door inside, there is no problem killing enemy soldiers. Once the enemy runs into the house to avoid his own arrow array, the stone bombs of the stone throwing machine can smash the houses down and kill the enemy.

Tang Yin's preparations in Jinyang were only waiting for the Chuan Zhen allied forces to attack.

At this time, the Chuan Zhen united army was still moving slowly in Gaochuan county.

The terrain of Gaochuan county is too complex. There are many mountains and woodlands in Gaochuan county. Ren Fang is afraid of being ambushed by the wind force. Although the spies have returned to him and Tang Yin leads his army into Jinyang City, Ren Fang is still cautious. In addition, the Sichuan army has too many supplies and can't get up quickly if he wants to go fast. Heavy riprap machines, rush cars, thunderbolt vehicles, cloud cars and arrow towers walk in Gaochuan It's very difficult on the mountain road in the county.

The advantage of slow march is that it can prevent the enemy's ambush; on the other hand, it also gives Ren Fang enough time to ponder the battle intention of the wind force.

Nie Ze is not satisfied with the retreat of Fengjun to Jinyang. According to the information sent back by the spies, Jinyang is just a small town with low walls. In his opinion, Tang Yin is seeking his own death.

He hated that the Sichuan army was moving too slowly, so he suggested to Ren Fang that he lead the 250000 Zhenjun to go first, and then come back to meet him after he broke through Jinyang and cut off Tang Yin's head. The meaning of Nie Ze's words seems to be that he led the army to capture Jinyang, and the Sichuan army may not be able to go to Jinyang.

After listening to him, Ren Fang shook his head and laughed and said, "general Nie, Tang Yin is not a king who doesn't understand soldiers. Why he chose to stay in Jinyang, is there no doubt in your heart?"

Nie Ze blinked his eyes and said with indifference: "he must have been chased by our army. He chose Jinyang to resist our army."

Ren Fang sighed. He took the map and spread it on the ground. Then he raised his head to Nie Ze and said, "general Nie, you see, the layout around Jinyang is very interesting. It is close to three cities. Songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng are all less than 100 li away from Jinyang. If our army attacks Jinyang, once the three cities send troops to reinforce them, they can arrive in less than one day Have not the army that attacked the city been attacked

Nie Ze breathes in. He really hasn't studied the terrain around Jinyang. He lowers his head and looks at the map carefully. He finds that Ren Fang is right. The layout of Jinyang and the surrounding three cities is really strange, mainly because they are too close. He asked subconsciously, "how many troops are there in songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng?"Ren Fang shook his head and said, "the spies who went out to inquire have not come back yet. The specific situation is not clear. However, there are not a few troops who want to come to these three cities. Otherwise, Tang Yin would not be so confident and bold to stay in Jinyang."

Nie Ze is also a commander-in-chief who is good at using troops. After listening to the analysis of Ren Fang, he said in secret that he was reasonable. He rubbed his chin and murmured, "this is some trouble." With these words, he raised his head and asked Ren Fang, "Ren Shuai, how do you plan to do it?"

I couldn't help laughing. General Nie, are you going to fight this battle now? "

This time, Nie Ze was not in a hurry to fight. He shook his head and said, "if only Jinyang is here, I am confident to fight, but he still has three cities to support it. This battle only depends on the strength of our army, and it can't be fought!"

"Therefore, we should march slowly and try to break the enemy while walking." Ren Fang said with a smile.

He said he didn't think of a way, but in fact he had a plan in mind. Ren Fang is an expert in fighting tough battles. He has dozens of cities captured by the state of Sichuan. He has rich experience and good military skills. In his opinion, it's easy to break through Jinyang, and to surround and fight for help is to feign attack Jinyang, and lead songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng to send troops to reinforce them. Whichever side comes first will attack the other side, so that it will have no return.

To fight a war, in fact, is that the commander-in-chief of the two armies ponders over the other party's mind, and if the calculation is correct, the next battle will defeat the enemy step by step. If the calculation is wrong, the enemy will seize it.

Ren Fang thinks that if Tang Yin dares to stay in Jinyang, there must be heavy troops in the surrounding three cities. In fact, songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng have not many troops. All of them may not be able to reach 5000 people. Fan Shan's strategy itself is a dangerous move. Tang Yin has no way to adopt it, and he has a strong spirit of adventure.

The Chuan Zhen allied army was still marching slowly. They went back and forth to bring back batches of intelligence to the army. Among them, the scouts who explored songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng also returned one after another. The information obtained was quite as expected by Fang. They found out that there were only more than 1000 garrisons in songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng, which was far from Ren Fang's calculation.

If the investigation report is true and the troops of the three cities are less than 5000, it is impossible to reinforce Jinyang. Jinyang is no different from Gucheng, but the question is, is your own report true? Will the other side hide the main force?

The better he is in command of the troops, the more conceited he is. This is the case with Ren Fang, because the information brought back by the spy has violated the common sense. He did not believe it at all. He still insisted on his original strategy and surrounded him for help.

A few days later, the Sichuan army marched to Lishan city in Gaochuan county. More than 600000 troops captured Lishan with little effort.

After crossing Lishan Mountain and going northward, Jinyang is 500 miles away. Ren Fang specially left 20000 troops to garrison Lishan city. He used this place as the logistics base of the Sichuan Zhenjiang united army, hoarding grain and supplies.

Three days later, the main force of Chuan Zhen allied forces finally came to Jinyang.

Seeing the strange city of Jinyang, the two armies of Chuanzhen were very surprised. Although there are some examples of residential buildings built outside the city walls in other cities, the scale is small, only a few scattered. Jinyang is better. The number of residential buildings outside the city walls is more than that inside the city walls, and the area is also larger.

Nie Ze, who was watching, couldn't close his mouth and sniffed: "how was the wall of Jinyang built? Why are they all built into the houses? The city Lord who built the city wall should have been cut to pieces

Ren Fang was also happy and said, "I think people have been in the soil for hundreds of years."

Nie Ze asked, "how about sending troops to explore the actual situation of Fengjun first?"

Ren Fang waved his hand and said, "don't worry. Our army has come from a long way. It's not too late to rest for a day."

When fighting with Ren Fang, Nie Ze didn't feel anything else, but he was very impressed by his sympathy for the soldiers. Nie Ze did not have an opinion, nodded to answer a way: "good, everything is allowed to be handsome!"

The Chuan Zhen allied forces set up a camp two miles away from Jinyang. Then, Ren Fang picked out a group of elite hunters and asked them to sneak into the houses outside the city of Jinyang after dark to destroy the traps inside.

For his orders, Nie Ze was very surprised and couldn't help asking, "Ren Shuai, how do you know there will be traps in the houses?"

Ren Fang laughed and said, "the Fengjun left so many houses outside the city for our army to hide their arrows. If what I expected was not bad, there would be a trap."
