Chapter 878

The battle of the wind was not as easy as Chuanzhen and Chuanzhen had imagined. It was as if the two countries could trample Fengguo to the ground as soon as their armies arrived.

The cold and dry weather in Fengguo made the soldiers of Chuanzhen United Army extremely uncomfortable. The long distance and long journey not only made the officers and soldiers tired for a long time, but also the logistics supply line was too long. Even if they were attacked by the wind forces, the supplies and supplies of the army were very tense. Moreover, the military strength of Fengguo was much stronger than that of Chuanzhen and Chuanzhen, even if they were defeated However, the fighting spirit of the army has never been lost. No matter how hard and dangerous the wind forces can still resist.

Because of various factors, Ren Fang's confidence has been greatly weakened, and he is increasingly unable to see hope for the battle against the wind.

The 50000 Zhen army that occupied Ningding was completely annihilated by the Feng army. Ren Fang did not send troops to fight for it again, nor did he continue to attack Jinyang. Instead, he was waiting for Jinzhuo to wipe out the Feng army in Gaochuan County, so that his side would no longer have worries about his own side when he attacked. Second, when the Huan army arrived, although the battle of the Huan army was not as strong as that of the Zhen army, it was 400000 people after all It is also good for the army to be full of its own momentum.

However, the two expectations of Ren Fang failed.

First of all, Jinzhuo's troops, whose morale was as high as 200000, entered Gaochuan County in a mighty manner. Then, they fully searched for the whereabouts of the wind troops and were eager to launch a decisive battle with them.

However, Zuo Shuang knew that the enemy was strong and weak, and did not give the enemy a chance to fight head-on. The mountainous and woodland environment in Gaochuan Prefecture gave him a wide space to revolve around. The troops in the West were fleeing everywhere, sometimes in the East and sometimes in the west, which made the Chuan Zhen allied forces attack repeatedly.

Although the first unit of Jinzhuo had absolute superiority in terms of military strength and combat effectiveness, it was led by the western frontier army, and the situation was in a passive position. Jinzhuo himself also knows that his own officers and men will become more and more tired and their combat effectiveness will become weaker and weaker as he runs around chasing the enemy. How can he grasp the main force of the wind force, Jinzhuo has a lot of brains.

Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. At last, Jin Zhuo thought of offering a reward with a large sum of money. As long as the people of Fengguo are willing to provide the whereabouts of the wind troops, as long as the information is accurate, the reward will be 10000 Liang.

As soon as the news came out, there were quite a lot of people from Fengguo who came to report the news, but only a large number of people reported false information, but few reported true news. For these massive intelligence, the Chuan Zhen united army was even more confused, as if there were wind troops all over Gaochuan county.

Jin Zhuo had no good strategy, so he had to March and occupy Lishan city and make the whole army stationed. After all, Lishan city was the logistics base of the Sichuan Zhenjiang united army. If there was no sign of the wind force, he would not have achieved nothing by attacking Lishan city first.

Lishan city was originally stocked with a large number of supplies and supplies of Sichuan and Zhen armies, but now it is empty. Even the people of Fengguo have run away, which is no different from a dead city.

On the second day after Jin Zhuo led his army into Lishan City, the grain and grass transported from the camp were attacked by a small group of wind troops. A team of grain trucks were burned and looted. Hearing this, Jinzhuo was furious and sent An'an palace to lead 20000 Sichuan troops to pursue the small group of Fengjun.

However, the 20000 Sichuan army headed by Angong was trapped by the western frontier army, surrounded by more than 50000 western border legions. The situation was in danger. However, Angong's generals fought hard to get out of the encirclement and fled back to Lishan city to report to Jinzhuo. Concerning the life and death of 20000 brothers, Jinzhuo did not dare to delay, and immediately led the main army out of the city to solve the siege of an palace.

However, as soon as they left, the main force of the western frontier army appeared near Lishan city and attacked the city with lightning speed. When Jin Zhuo led the army to the place where Angong was trapped, the 50000 western frontier troops surrounding Angong had run out of sight, and there was no time to trace out where the enemy troops had gone. Jinzhuo hurried back.

After returning to Lishan city as quickly as possible, the main force of the wind force who had just captured Lishan City ran away again. However, all the materials left in the city were looted and most of the soldiers left behind were killed.

Jin Zhuo has been fighting for most of his life. He has never met such a cunning opponent. The presence and disappearance of the Feng army made him feel powerless and helpless. The 200000 elite Chuanzhen united army had no way to deal with more than 100000 troops in the western frontier, which were not very effective. They were completely trapped in Gaochuan County by the other side.

At this time, Zuo Shuang's flexible and changeable command ability was brought into play incisively and vividly. It was in the battle of Gaochuan county that the name of Zuo Shuang was memorized by the Sichuan Zhen united army, and left Shuang completely established its military status in Fengguo.

Jinzhuo's troops were not good at fighting in Gaochuan County, and Huanjun could not enter Fengguo.

The Huan army was intercepted by the Sanshui army while passing through the state of mo. The strength of the Sanshui army is less than 100000, while that of the Huan army is 400000. It is reasonable to say that the strength of the two sides is quite different. The Huan army can take the opponent lightly. However, after the two sides launched the war, the 400 000 Huan army could not occupy any advantage in the battlefield, and could only fight to the extent that it was close to the Sanshui army.

Just as the fighting between the two sides was in a state of half stalemate and half confrontation, Mo suddenly stepped in.

Without warning, Mo's Huben army suddenly took part in the war and attacked from the rear of Huan army. The Sanshui army is enough to make the Huan army hard to resist. Now, with the sneak attack of the Huben army, where can the Huan army sustain itself? Although the casualties of the second army were not large, the forty army was scattered.After suddenly sending troops to attack the Huan army, Mo explained this, saying that the reason why the Mo army attacked the Huan army was not to help Fengguo, nor to fight against the countries allied with the expedition wind, but because the Huan army had plundered and killed innocent people of Mo state when they passed through the territory of Mo state, and at the same time listed some evidence.

As the saying goes, there is no word about why he wants to add to the crime. The state of Mo insisted that the Huan army killed the people and robbed the property, and the Huan army could not explain it clearly.

Mo changed his attitude of watching the tiger fight on the mountain and directly participated in the war. First, Shangguan Yuanwu, the envoy sent by Tang Yin, had already arrived in Zhenjiang and met with Shaofang, king of mo. he told Shao Fang in detail about the current situation of the war and asked him to support the Fengguo. Secondly, the fact that the Zhen army once slaughtered the people of Mo and created a plague of their corpses has been widely spread in Mo, making Mo people hate the Zhen army to the bone, and they also hate the Sichuan army. The voice of Mo's support is getting louder and louder, especially the military generals. They all think that what the Zhen army has done in Mo is a great shame to mo. if we can't get justice back, what kind of face does Mo have in the future?

Shao Fangben advocated participating in the war, only the ministers in the middle of the court opposed it. Now he has the support of the generals and the people of the whole country. No matter what, Shangguan Yuanwu came to ask for help again. Shao conveniently pushed the boat along the river and ordered the Huben army to assist the Feng army and attack the Huan army in Mo Jing.

In this way, the 400, 000 Huan army became the scapegoat of the Zhen army and became the object of Mo's anger. Under the attack of Sanshui army and Huben army, the whole army broke up and was completely defeated.

In this battle, Liang Qike saw the strength of the Huben army. When a hundred thousand cavalry launched an attack, it was like a mountain and a sea. There was no need to fight. The momentum of a hundred thousand horsemen charging forward together was enough to deter any opponent.

Before he arrived at Fengguo, Huan's army was defeated by Sanshui army and Huben army. He had no hope for him. What's more, the most worrying thing happened to him. Finally, Mo stood on the side of Fengguo. With Mo's support, Feng's military strength doubled, and his hope of winning was slim.

The whereabouts of Li Cheng's troops was unknown, the plan to encircle Jinyang failed, Jin Zhuo's entry into Gaochuan county was not favorable, 400000 Huan troops were defeated and returned home, and Mo's assistance to Fengguo was on the surface. These successive attacks made Ren Fang's intention to withdraw his troops.

However, even if Ren Fang is the commander-in-chief of the whole army, the battle of wind is not something he can fight and retreat if he wants to retreat. To withdraw his troops, he must get the consent of the princes of Chuan and Zhen. Ren Fang knows that the two governments thousands of miles away can understand the urgency of the war ahead. The officials only look at the data of both sides, but in terms of data, his side does have the advantage Shi, if he proposes to withdraw his troops, he may be labeled as a coward of the enemy.

After careful consideration, Ren Fang wrote a personal letter to Xiao Xuan, king of Sichuan. In the letter, he did not mention the withdrawal of the troops, but only explained in detail the difficulties currently encountered by his army, especially the supply problem, which had reached a critical level.

After his letter reached Shangjing, Xiao Xuan replied.

Xiao Xuan did not give him clear instructions in the letter, but he delegated a great deal of authority to him, which fully showed his trust in Ren Fang. Xiao Xuan's letter states that he should be flexible, and he can make his own decisions about the major and minor affairs he meets outside, without having to worry about the opinions of the monarch and the court.

Seeing Xiao Xuan's reply, Ren Fang's mood is excited and surging, and at the same time, he is completely relieved.

The next day after receiving Xiao Xuan's reply, Ren Fang sent an envoy to Jinyang to invite Tang Yin out of the city to talk.

Ren Fang has made up his mind that even if he wants to withdraw his troops, he has to take the greatest advantage of Fengguo through negotiation.

In the season of the Chuan Zhen allied forces, they came to Jinyang city with a white flag. Their attendants drank loudly to the city. They first reported their identity and proposed to go to the city to meet Tang Yin, the king of the wind.

The wind army officers and men on the city smell the speech, the nose is almost askew, your side of the city is you said to open it? Is your own king what you say you can see? When the soldiers with impulsive temperament raise their bows and arrows, they will shoot the envoys from outside the city. Thanks to the timely arrival of the generals guarding the city, they will stop those who want to release their arrows. Then they will immediately go back to the city and report the situation to the king.
