Chapter 254: Repelling the Zhou Army

Many factors led to the death of King Xuanxiang in the eastern capital, the defeat of the Shang army and other major events in the eastern capital, and the Taiping army did not get the news in time.

It didn't take long......

The Taiping army completely evacuated Hangu and stationed at the entrance to Hangu, and sent a large number of scouts to disperse to the surrounding area.

Although Zhan Tiange has not yet received information from all places, he has also made various responses with experience and wisdom, so that Yu Shuai and Ji Xiang's plan to lead the army to block the retreat of the Taiping army is invalid.

A few days later, the information from all over the country, including the appearance of the trapped camp and the chaos of the town generals, and the change of hands in Yique Pass, was still known by Zhan Tiange.

However, Zhan Tiange did not withdraw his troops......

With the prestige of the Taiping King, coupled with the million combat power of the Taiping Army, in the face of the trapped camp, the Chaotian Town General and the remnants of the Yu Shuai Army, a total of about 500,000 troops, he will not flee when he hears the news, but even wants to defeat the Zhou army.

Yu Shuai Yu Yu originally led six or seven hundred thousand merchant troops to guard Yique Pass.

Later, Concubine Feng and Zhou Wang Ji Yan negotiated, and Yu Yu quickly and secretly surrendered his army, and finally only surrendered more than 300,000 merchant troops, and most of the rest of the merchant army were captured, and some were killed or fled.

In the end, Yu Yu led the surrendered merchant army to the west side of Hangu Pass, which concealed 30,000 Nanyang Jingwei and 100,000 Nanyang elite soldiers, a total of about 400,000 people.

......

Hanya Seki.

When the Taiping army camped on the west side to prepare for battle, the Zhenwu army on the east side evacuated Hangu, and went north to Pingjin Pass, the king of Zhou, Ji Yan, led Ji Wu Yuwei and Manzhu Shahua, Feng Concubine and others to arrive secretly.

When Ji Yan arrived, the dense fog and blazing flames of Hangu Pass, which had turned into a sea of fire, were stranded in it.

Of the more than 3 million women's troops that were originally frantically recruited, there are only more than 30,000 left, which is completely a terrifying casualty ratio of one in a hundred.

It is estimated that Concubine Lin Ya can continue to stabilize the morale of the army under such a terrifying casualty ratio!

It can be said that if it were not for the burning flames that burned for days and nights......

The corpses and blood alone are enough to fill the Hangu Pass!

"After the arrival of our army, the women's army temporarily withdrew from Hangu Pass and attacked the Taiping military camp from the east side......"

"The lone camp attacked ...... from the north flank"

"The Chaotian Town Army and the Nanyang Town Army jointly attack from the west, and the Taiping Army's retreat must be blocked......"

"Yu Shuai attacked ...... from the south side"

"The rest of the Great Evolutionaries are staring at the Taiping King, and they must not let him escape......"

After some reports, deliberations and discussions, Ji Yan was a little impatient to begin to deploy the siege of the Taiping army.

Ji Yan's ultimate goal is to capture or kill the Taiping King Zhan Tiange and obtain immortal arts, not just to defeat the Taiping army.

Of course, Ji Yan won't say this purpose, so as not to be ruined by Zhan Tiange!

"My king, our army must be on guard against ......"

The generals nodded knowingly, Lin Ya hesitated to remind, and then continued: "The Taiping Immortal Technique has a great impact on the battle situation......

"It's not an ordinary spell, it's even comparable to supernatural powers!"

"Hmm!"

Ji Yan nodded in response and said, he is here for this, how can he not pay attention after spending so much time and thinking.

After thinking about it, he commanded: "Torches, cotton jackets, raincoats and other things should be distributed as much as possible." ”

"It's too late for temporary deployment and recruitment, but it won't have much impact......"

"After all, the area of influence of the Taiping Immortal Technique is also limited......"

The generals promised.

As for Hangu Pass, it has been beaten into ruins by repeated bloody battles and can only be rebuilt after the war.

Originally, the engineers and civilians had already suffered casualties, and there was no way to waste soldiers to carry out the reconstruction.

It is worth mentioning that when Ji Yan arrived, except for the Great Evolutionary who arrived later, almost everyone in the remnants of the Women's Army, including Lin Ya, Ji Yin'er and Gonggong Li, was injured.

Concubine Feng showed her talent as a son of luck......

Flower of Life.

Within a few hours, in addition to missing arms and legs, nearly 30,000 injured people have completely recovered, and there is also the anti-heavenly power that can be reborn with broken limbs......

It's just that the recovery is very slow, and besides, the higher the cultivation power, the slower it will be, and the longer it will take.

This alone made Ji Yan overjoyed, and the promise he gave was worth it.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and in terms of recovery and healing, including Ovia's Via Holy Lotus, Yuan Moxue's Great Auspicious Heavenly Maiden Mantra, etc., there is really no more powerful and effective means than Concubine Feng!

Taiping Barracks.

When the Zhou army was closely deployed to form a four-way encirclement, Zhan Tiange did not wait to be besieged, and also reported to the Great Shang Court for support as soon as possible.

The merchant armies of various cities and garrisons in the west of Hangu Pass, such as Mianchi, Xin'an, Yiyang, Luoning, Songcheng, Luhun, Xingtai and other cities, are also rapidly converging to Hangu Pass.

To the west of Hangu Pass, it was the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty......

It is rare for Zhou Wang Ji Yan and many elites of the Zhou State to enter the territory of the Great Shang, this is also an excellent opportunity, how could Zhan Tiange miss it?

This is also one of the main reasons why Zhan Tiange camped and did not retreat and waited for the big battle......

Even if you have no choice but to get through Hangu Pass, you can't let the Zhou army ravage Guanxi, otherwise the situation will really get out of control!

"Lord Wang!"

"The imperial court has accepted and agreed with the prince's suggestion, and if there are no accidents, the Xin'an army will arrive within three days. ”

"The rest of the armies from all over the country are also coming at full speed......"

"Even the imperial capital sent four Praetorian Guards and a large number of civilians and engineers ......"

Zhan Tiange accompanied Yue Chan, the head of the army, and reported cautiously.

Then, he continued: "The imperial court has ordered the prince that even if he has no choice but to destroy the king of Zhou and his various elite legions, they must be driven into Hangu Pass and a city must be built to blockade ......"

"This battle is not allowed to be defeated......"

"Hmm!"

"Hold on for three days, this little bit of faith is still there for this king......"

Zhan Tiange nodded, looked at the north and responded cautiously.

Since leaving the mountain, Zhan Tiange has not slackened the training of the regiment he led when he marched and fought, and he still has a lot of confidence in his own personal guards and the merchant army under his seat.

The person who made Zhan Tiange jealous and suspicious the most was Megatron, which was rumored to be comparable to the Great Shang Praetorian Guards......

King Zhou's guards are trapped in the camp, and the rest of the elite Zhou army, Zhan Tiange will pay attention to it but also have the confidence to defeat ......

"How's the war going in Henan?"

"Especially the King of Han, if the King of Han surrenders to the Zhou State, the situation on our side will be really bad......"

Without waiting for Yuechan to say more, Zhan Tiange took the initiative to change the topic and asked.

"According to the intelligence, King Ji Yan of Zhou mobilized a large number of Great Evolutionaries and blocked the Qinling Mountains and Hangu Pass......"

As a result, our country's communications were delayed, and we had no choice but to transmit it in time, whether it was a bird or a scout, it had to be transmitted more than a dozen times, and only one time was transmitted to our army temporarily, and the price paid was extremely high. ”

Yuechan responded helplessly and fearfully.

After a slight pause, he continued: "However, according to our country's analysis, King Han should not surrender easily, otherwise he would not have waited until now." ”

"The imperial court strictly ordered that our army must repel the Zhou army within half a month. ”

"In the second half of the month, a heavy city was built at the entrance of Hangu and the Zhou army was blocked in Hangu......"

"Hmm!"

"This king pays so much attention to the construction of the military camp this time, it is planned to open the military camp as the core radiation after the war, and build a city, as long as the materials are sufficient, half a month is enough!"

Zhan Tiange nodded, and said in response with a dark sigh of relief.
