Chapter 175: Fighting on two fronts

Hearing this, Xiao Wang subconsciously asked, "What does the king mean ......?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Hedong County, although its city defense is tall, it has fallen into disrepair, it's time to renovate." ”

He is in the army at the moment, although he is still wearing a royal uniform, but he has already taken off the crown and only tied his hair with a hosta, which is less of a king's majesty and more handsome.

And his words are already very clear, that is, he intends to use huge stones to break the city walls of Hedong County!

Although Lu Chen's use of troops is not as good as Xiao Wang and Su Muzhi, sometimes, his whimsical ideas can often win by surprise, and people can't help but give a thumbs up.

Just like today's siege, if in the past, the wind army would never have used a catapult to bombard so indiscriminately, and often symbolically pressed the enemy on the city wall before ordering the siege.

Because at that time, the thickness of all city construction reached a certain level, and it was not possible to break it with a few rounds of stone bullets!

And Lu Chen learned from the local people that the Zhang army had hoarded a large amount of grain and grass, and this battle would inevitably become an extremely difficult stalemate battle, so he began to make up his mind on the city wall.

If the city wall can be broken, and your own army can enter the city from various gaps and start street battles with the Zhang army, then the 150,000 Zhang army, once they lose the support of the city defense, will be harvested and crushed by their own 600,000 wind army.

And the reason why Lu Chen dared to use up the boulders he was carrying in one go was also because the military aircraft battalion had sent back the exact news that the county town of Hedong had not been renovated for many years.

Sure enough, under this wanton and indiscriminate bombardment, the weakness of its city defense has been completely highlighted.

It's just that at this time, in order to test its city defense, there is no stone bullet in the Feng military camp, Su Muzhi said: "King, although this strategy is wonderful, but in Hedong, the land is fertile, and there are not many mountain boulders to collect. ”

Lu Chen said: "Do you still remember Yehu Mountain, in order to resist more than 400,000 Zhang troops, Zuo Shuang built two barriers here, and there are countless huge stones in its base, and now they still exist here, just for our army to use now." And Yehu Mountain is at the junction of Hedong and Longshan, from here, it is only more than 300 miles, if our army sends people to collect, light forward, a day of rapid march can be reached, and when returning, although there is a baggage, but it is expected that it will not exceed ten days. ”

As he spoke, Lu Chen glanced at a few people again, and then said in a loud voice: "As long as our army can break the city defense of Hedong County and enter the city within ten days, then we are not afraid of Zhang Guo's reinforcements!" On the contrary, if the reinforcements of the State of Zhang have already arrived by then, then after our army takes Hedong, they will take advantage of the situation on the plain and fight to the death with their reinforcements! Annihilate the living forces of Zhang Guo in one fell swoop! ”

Yo! I didn't expect the king to think about everything, and there are indeed many ready-made stones left in the two barriers built by the left double of Wild Fox Mountain. ”

After telling the generals about his decision, Lu Chen immediately ordered 20,000 soldiers to return to Yehu Mountain with the kind of wooden cart loaded with grain and move the boulder. 20,000 people, even if 10 people are in charge of one boulder, that's 2,000.

After the wind army hit the county town of Hedong hard with a boulder, it also completely stopped moving, and began to actively prepare for the next indiscriminate bombardment.

And at the same time, Zhang Guo's side.

Its great general, Yu Wenlie, was leading 600,000 Zhangguo Central Army at this time, and it was difficult to fight with the Yan army in Longxi County of Yan State.

Although Yu Wenlie is very good at using soldiers, but the land of Longxi, for Yan State, is equivalent to Hedong County of the Wind Country, this big war has been stalemate for nearly a year, and on the side of Yan State, its first commander Han Yun personally led an army of 600,000 to command the battle.

Yu Wenlie's military talent is compared with Han Yun, it can't be said which of them is stronger and which is weak, it can only be said that they have their own set of playing styles, and from the fact that the two sides have been able to fight for a year, it is not difficult to see that the strength of the two of them is actually equal.

And among the two armies, there are famous fierce generals in their respective countries in the vanguard, whether it is the plain Armageddon, or the battle of the formation, the battle, or the military generals of both sides are almost evenly fought......

The national strength of Yan and Feng is not as good as that of Zhang Guo, in the stalemate of Longxi, if Feng Guo is not involved, then if the fight continues, Yan Guo will definitely lose its national strength, and finally be dragged down by Zhang Guo.

But in fact, the Wind Country has already allied with the Yan Kingdom, and this time the troops are out of Longshan, and the timing is even more accurate!

Since Zhang Guo owned Hedong County, its national strength was better than before, and now, Zhang Guo has a total of 1.2 million central troops, excluding 600,000 troops in Longxi and 200,000 garrisons in Hedong, there are still 400,000 adjustable troops in the country.

When Lu Chen was parading in Fengdu with great fanfare, Zhang Guo had already learned the news through meticulous work, but at that time, in Yan Han's opinion, even if Lu Chen led the army to attack Hedong, there were 200,000 troops left behind in Hedong, which could not be broken overnight, and when the 200,000 troops could not hold on, their own war in Longxi should be almost over.

Of course, this is just Yan Han's own opinion.

His idea is not wrong, under normal circumstances, Hedong County has so many food hoards, 200,000 troops, and it is really normal to hold on for three or two months.

It's just that Su Muzhi, who is the vanguard of the Wind Army, is really fierce! didn't give Zhang Jun in Hedong a chance to breathe and react at all, and directly opened the door to Hedong!

At present, when he learned that the land of the eight counties in Hedong had fallen into the hands of the Feng Army, Yan Han was furious, and he jumped to his feet in the court and scolded angrily on the spot, angrily denouncing Tang Cheng, Wang Dong and others as waste!

After he finished scolding, Zhang Guo Zuoxiang stood up and said cautiously: "King, at this time, the wind army has been dispatched, and the intention of its wind king Lu Chen is obviously to take advantage of the war between our country and Yan to recapture Hedong in one fell swoop, and once Hedong is lost, even if my country takes Longxi County, it is equivalent to losing a watermelon and picking up a watermelon, and it has also lost so many soldiers and spent so much money and food in vain." ”

Therefore, Weichen thought that the top priority was to immediately mobilize men and horses to go to Hedong to support the Hedong battlefield, as long as he could hold the Feng army in Hedong for two months, General Yuwen would definitely take Longxi during this period! At that time, our country will be able to turn back and teach the wind country a good lesson! ”

What he said was almost no different from what Yan Han thought, and soon, King Zhang Yan Han ordered that only 100,000 troops were left to defend the capital, and 300,000 troops were transferred from China to support the Hedong battlefield.

At this point, Zhang Guo has officially started a two-front battle!

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
