Since the last time Wei Yingcai was defeated in Yangcheng, after a long time, he once again led his troops to the city, and when he faced Yangcheng, he couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I still remember that at the beginning, the arrogance and complacency in my heart made Wei Yingcai taste his first fiasco on the battlefield of Jiangzhou outside Yangcheng, let alone capture Yangcheng.

Moreover, since then, Wei Yingcai's self-confidence built up through the battle of the Ganglong Civil War has almost completely collapsed.

So much so that he no longer dared to despise any army.

What's more, even the enemy troops standing opposite him were only holding swords, guns, bows and arrows, while Wei Yingcai was equipped with guns and ammunition, and they could no longer give Wei Yingcai the confidence to win.

Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing, at least it will help Wei Yingcai to observe the enemy situation more prudently and objectively, so that his troops can win all battles more steadily. It's just that although Wei Yingcai has lost the mind of underestimating the enemy in the past, he has almost lost his strong fighting spirit.

And at this moment, standing outside Yangcheng again, Wei Yingcai looked up at the city wall of Yangcheng, the lesson of that time seemed to be still vivid, and the memory of the fiasco in the past seemed to be opened by the towering city wall in front of him, and it was surging in an instant.

In Wei Yingcai's heart, he no longer thinks that Yangcheng is a vulnerable city. Perhaps, the bell must be tied to the bell person, and the battle will attack Yangcheng again, which is extremely important to Wei Yingcai.

I saw that the gate of Yangcheng was closed, but on the city wall, there were flags everywhere, as well as soldiers defending the city with cold expressions.

Obviously, Yangcheng is also in good faith.

Wei Yingcai did not immediately order the siege of the city.

Although from the outside, the defending army of Yangcheng did not have much strength, but this was only an illusion on the surface.

Wei Yingcai was particularly clear about this, because at this moment, he was holding the information about Yangcheng in his hands.

Intelligence shows that in addition to the Xia army stationed in the city, there is actually a large Xia army outside the city on the other side.

And this army of the Xia Kingdom has a full strength of 200,000 troops!

Therefore, Wei Yingcai would not be naïve, thinking that with his more than 10,000 troops alone, although he was loaded with guns and ammunition, he would be completely sure of attacking the city. You must know that just to control the 200,000 Xia troops outside the city, the ammunition of Wei Yingcai's department is no longer enough to deal with it, not to mention, there are more than 200,000 Xia troops in Yangcheng.

Therefore, Wei Yingcai has not easily taken the self-righteousness of Yangcheng.

"Report on the movements of the enemy forces outside the city?" Wei Yingcai's face was a little heavy, and he asked Adjutant Wang Zhongping.

Wei Yingcai believed that since the number of troops in the headquarters and the enemy army was not equal, there was no need to choose to fight hard, and perhaps try to find more mistakes in the enemy's troop deployment or other aspects, so that they could have a chance to win a battle in which fewer won more.

Wang Zhongping replied: "Although the enemy army did not escape, Bai Qi was defeated, and the Xia army was also in a chaotic situation where there were no generals in the army. Because, the 200,000 troops of the Xia Army, their relationship is inevitably a little complicated, it is composed of troops from different regions of the Xia Kingdom, and most of them are tactically fighting on their own. It's just that the commander who originally had Bai Qi finally had a core direction, and now that Bai Qi is defeated, they have revealed some chaos. It has been learned that among these constituent armies, the Dongzhou Army is the most threatening, which has participated in counterinsurgency battles and has the most actual combat experience in large-scale battles. However, the rest of the local armies of the Xia State are mostly composed of temporarily conscripted militias, and many of them are still deployed in an emergency, lacking sufficient standardized military training, let alone having actual combat experience, so these part of the Xia soldiers pose little threat to us. ”

Compared with Wei Yingcai's cautious conservatism, Wang Zhongping was inclined to the military judgment that Wei Yingcai's troops had a sufficient chance of winning, firstly, because the information obtained by Wang Zhongping made him feel that this battle was beneficial to the Xinghua army, and secondly, it was also because he did not understand Wei Yingcai's mind.

It's just that Wei Yingcai naturally won't tell him too much, but relatively speaking, there is no excitement on his face, like Wang Zhongping.

"Be cautious, after all, there are too many soldiers in the Xia Kingdom. Regardless of whether they have generals in command or not, or whether they come from local armies that work independently, we cannot ignore that once they can unify their goals and fight our troops in unison, the result will still be the same for us. In other words, we are always going to fight against 200,000 Xia troops, which is one thing we need to worry about, because our ammunition is not enough to fight against such a large enemy army. Wei Yingcai sighed.

It is an objective fact that the enemy is outnumbered, and regardless of whether the enemy army has already been in chaos before the battle, they need to be cautious in dealing with the enemy. As far as Wei Yingcai is concerned, he must not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy that day.

Hearing this, Wang Zhongping also seemed to understand, and slowly became more calm, no longer like just now, as if the word 'victory' had been hung on the door of his head.

Wei Yingcai looked at the high city wall, thinking about the strategy against the enemy.

The advantage of troops does not belong to his Wei Yingcai Department, if you want to say that their bargaining chips are naturally more advanced weapons than the Xia army. Then, since you want to rely on the advantage of weapons, you must give full play to your own advantages.

After thinking twice, Wei Ying had a specific idea. He immediately ordered his troops, built positions, and dug deep trenches. The Xinghua army wants to block the gate of Yangcheng, and the whole city of Yangcheng will definitely feel uncomfortable.

The Xinghua army set up a position in front of the Yangcheng Gate and did not move a single step. Wei Yingcai was determined to pierce a nail and let Xia Jun send it to the door to fight.

Of course, the Xinghua Army was not completely passively beaten. On the other hand, every once in a while, Wei Yingcai sent a force of 3,000 recruits to take turns to attack the Xia army troops by adopting the tactics of attacking and harassing the enemy when the enemy retreats and we advance, so as to achieve the purpose of training.

Half a day later, the Xinghua reinforcements in Tai'an City also rushed to Yangcheng to participate in the fortifications of Wei Yingcai's department to build a position.

Because there were many defeated Xia troops on the periphery of Tai'an City, the large troops of the Lyon Department still stayed in Tai'an, cleaning the battlefield and capturing prisoners.

The captured Xia army was captured, and the Xinghua army also escorted Yunzhou in batches. Of course, some of the Xia soldiers who surrendered and were willing to join the Xinghua Army would be received by the Lyon Ministry and incorporated into the Servant Army or the Slave Army. As long as they have made war achievements, they can be restored to civilian status. They also have the opportunity to receive higher meritorious deeds and make meritorious contributions.

In the Xinghua City Palace of the Xinghua Empire, Yi Xingchen and Liu Yiyi, along with their son, took a walk in the backyard garden.

"Wife, do you like Xinghua City or Xinghua Island?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"I like Xinghua City even more, Blue Mercury gives me too many bad memories. Here, I am the queen, and everyone admires me. Husband, do you think I love vanity?" asked Liu Yiyi.

"No, you are indeed the queen of the empire, and this is the glory you deserve, the glory. And you love your people, and they love you just as much. Yi Xingchen said.

"Mom and Dad are the best!" his son, who is already six years old, laughed innocently.

Yi Xingchen picked up his son, turned around, and said with a smile: "Jiye, he is a good child, and he is the best child." ”

"Husband, I'm going to see an opera in the afternoon, are you going?" asked Liu Yiyi.

"Wife, I'm sorry, I still have something to do. Yi Xingchen replied apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, national affairs are important. In the evening, I'll buy you some delicious snacks and come back. Liu Yiyi smiled.

"Good. Yi Xingchen said.

Since Xiahou Wu was trapped, Yi Xingchen returned to Xinghua Island, opened the Light Gate, and took Liu Yiyi's mother and son back to Xinghua City. When he has free time, Yi Xingchen will accompany his wife and son, walk together, play games, and enjoy family fun.

In the evening, Alan took the battle report of Jiangzhou and entered the palace to report.

"That's right! Leon's battle plan succeeded, destroying the elite troops of Xia Guo Baiqi. Now it seems that there are no elite troops in Yangcheng that can resist our pace. Yi Xingchen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case at the moment. However, there were still hundreds of thousands of Xia soldiers in Yangcheng. Once these Xia soldiers are desperate, our army will probably pay a heavy price in order to occupy the entire Jiangzhou. Therefore, Lyon sent a telegram asking us to increase our troops! He said that he could not do with veterans, he wanted new soldiers. These recruits, as long as they can help him hold the rear of Jiangzhou. Alan said.

Yi Xingchen thought for a while and said, "He wants reinforcements, I'm afraid the empire has no choice." Lyon, how are they forming the local armed forces in Jiangzhou?"

"Although the Xinghua Army's policy of recruiting and accepting the people is not bad, the youth in Jiangzhou has decreased, and they have not recruited many qualified servant soldiers, so they can only form an urban security force. Outside the city, there are some things that can't be taken care of. Alan said.

Yi Xingchen suddenly had an idea and said to Allen: "Since the Xinghua Army has defeated the strongest army in the Jiangzhou Xia Army, there is only Yangcheng and hundreds of thousands of local soldiers left. If we forcibly capture Yangcheng, will the Xia army in Jiangzhou collapse?"

"Capture Yangcheng, Jiangzhou's Xia army will be defeated. Alan replied.

"Okay, let's increase our troops! It's just that the soldiers we have added are not recruits, but the mechanized troops of Blue Mercury. Yi Xingchen said.

Alan was stunned when he heard this, he had never known that the empire had such an army.

"Ganglong has a state-owned tank army, and I will transfer these tanks to attack the city. Yangcheng, there must be no way to stop the pace of the tank's advance. At that time, tank units wreaked havoc in Yangcheng City, forcing Yangcheng officials to surrender. If they don't surrender, then the city of Yang will be completely broken. Broken Yang City, I see what the Xia army defends. Yi Xingchen said with a smile.

Alan was puzzled: "Your Majesty, even if we drive the tank to Jiangzhou, but the road is too far, will we not be able to catch up with the battlefield." ”

"Of course, I will not order the tank troops to drive from Xinghua City to Yangcheng in Jiangzhou. Yi Xingchen smiled and continued: "I will personally go out, under the protection of many elite troops, take a hovering car, and rush to the battlefield in Jiangzhou. After arriving at the battlefield in Jiangzhou, I opened the passage again and released the tank. ”

"Your Majesty, this will be dangerous. "Alan doesn't want Yi Xingchen to be in danger.

Yi Xingchen smiled: "There is danger, but the danger is not great." All you need to do is arrange a force to be on standby in the space passage at that time. When fighting, let them out again, and no one can stop them. At the very least, there is danger, and I can escape into the space passage. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will arrange for the elite soldiers of the Xinghua Army to accompany you to protect Your Majesty's safety. Alan said.

Yi Xingchen nodded, and then, he dealt with a few state affairs, and then traveled back to Ganglong Kingdom.

Yi Xingchen gave an order to the president of Ganglong Kingdom to count the number of mechanized troops in Ganglong Kingdom, he needed a team to go to the Sky Continent to fight.

The president of Ganglong Kingdom was a citizen of the Xinghua Empire, so naturally he would not refuse Yi Xingchen's request. The military structure of the Ministry of Defense of Ganglong State, the distribution of military branches, and weapons and equipment were sent to Yi Xingchen's desk.

Yi Xingchen read the information of the Ministry of Defense of Ganglong State and felt helpless.

In Yi Xingchen's heart, he was still fantasizing about a huge torrent of steel, but unexpectedly, as a landlocked country in Africa, Ganglong was already wealthy, and coupled with the impact of the civil war, the government army lost a lot of mechanized weapons and equipment. The so-called mechanized troops, that's a joke. Today, there are less than five tanks that can still fight in Ganglong, and more than 20 used tanks. These tanks are very ordinary infantry tanks.

Yi Xingchen had no choice, so he found Yan En and asked him to contact the arms dealers, and Ganglong Guo wanted to buy more than a dozen tanks and more than 50 cannons to strengthen national defense.

Of course, Yi Xingchen had no intention of giving up, and was still preparing to use mechanized troops to attack Yangcheng. Yi Xingchen ordered that in the name of the Xinghua Army, oil should be collected and stored all over Africa. In the Firmament Continent, there is no oil, and it is difficult for tanks to move an inch, so Yi Xingchen must prepare in advance.

As for whether to use five tanks or more tanks in the end, it depends on Yan En's preparation.

In addition to oil, it is also necessary to prepare soldiers who drive tanks.

Because these soldiers who drive tanks are soldiers who are going to be brought to the Sky Continent. Therefore, Yi Xingchen had to arrange the corresponding officers and soldiers to train the tank crews, so that they could understand that their mission was a military secret and could not be leaked in the slightest. In addition, to complete the task, Yi Xingchen will also say that he will give them a good reward.

Fortunately, there are few tanks in Ganglong, but there are many tank soldiers. A long time ago, the Ganglong Kingdom wanted to form a tank corps. Therefore, they sent a lot of soldiers to Eastern European countries to learn how to drive tanks.

After a long time, Yan En reported to Yi Xingchen that it would take a week to buy a tank.

When Yi Xingchen heard this, he felt that the time was too long. According to the information provided by the Ministry of National Defense of Ganglong State, he ordered five tanks and three tracked infantry fighting vehicles and transported them into the space passage.

Yi Xingchen ordered the tank crews, as well as the Xinghua soldiers of the infantry fighting vehicles, to enter the space passage and stand by. Returning to Xinghua City in the Firmament Continent, Yi Xingchen ordered Yan En to send five Xinghua suspension cars of Xinghua Group.

A day later, Yi Xingchen boarded the hovercar under the protection of the palace guards and the royal guards.
