Chapter 814: The sharp arrow is out of the sheath

In the north, after a bloody battle, both the coalition army and the Yan army entered a stage of recuperation.

The total of hundreds of thousands of casualties has made both sides clearly aware of the strength of the other side's combat strength, and the only way to do this is to regather forces and find suitable fighters again, and then start the battle.

After all, this battle may be the largest battle between the northern and southern vassal states in decades, or even a hundred years, with the largest number of casualties.

It won't take long, and the results of this battle will definitely spread throughout the northern and southern vassal states, and in this battle, the generals who participated in the battle will also become the talk of the people after dinner.

In the south, in the plain area south of Luyang Pass, the Chu army, which was in continuous hurry, had to be stationed in place for a rest night after being exhausted.

Early in the morning, the Chu army continued to set off, Yue Yunshan looked at the endless plain, the corners of his mouth showed a gentle smile, and in two days, the Chu army walked out of the plain and arrived at Luyang Pass.

In the thin morning mist, Yue Yunshan was full of confidence and ambition, ready to use the battle of Luyang Pass to play his prestige in the Chu army, make himself famous in the world, and become the world's famous generals such as Han Zhitong and Li Mu.

At this moment, the Lin Feng Army, which was south of Luyang Pass, was ready to effectively attack this lone army that was adventurously advancing, teach the Chu army a hard lesson, and let the southern overlord suffer from flesh and skin.

Before the army came out, the spies came with news from the northern battlefield that the Yan army was spending 180,000 yuan and inflicting heavy losses on the coalition army.

Browsing the letter and seeing the casualty figures, Lin Feng couldn't help but gasp, such casualties were really beyond his expectations.

Continue reading, 200,000 Yan cavalry, almost 100,000 losses, ironclad infantry 30,000, the remaining 40,000 including both the infantry of the Dog Wolf Legion, and a large number of dog wolves.

The four major legions, all of which have been damaged, although they have not experienced the battlefield situation, can imagine the cruelty and ruthlessness of the war, after all, the Yan army is by no means an ordinary army, and it can be hit hard, and it will definitely make the opponent pay a lot of price, unless it is unguarded, it is suddenly attacked by the opponent.

However, according to the Yan army's defense methods, the chance of being attacked by surprise is very slim.

Turning over a page of letters, Lin Feng saw that the coalition army had lost a total of 20,000 people, almost half of the coalition army's strength.

Lin Feng couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and according to the description in his heart, he severely damaged the Cai army, and even the Chu army consumed 60,000 elites, and finally could explain why the Yan army lost more than 100,000 people.

Reading all the news, Lin Feng did not have great joy or great sorrow, things were not expected, but they were in line with the battlefield situation.

Zhao Hongru, Feng Yi, Tuoba Yu, and Li Lin were able to turn the tide and severely damage the coalition army by 10,000 people in the case of a sneak attack, which is already commendable.

What's more, this battle seriously depleted the vitality of the coalition army, and even if the Yan army retreated, the coalition army did not want to continue to invade the north until the southern reinforcements arrived.

Even if the coalition forces continue to move north in the future, I am afraid that they will have to be cautious.

Determining the crushing defeat of the Northern Coalition Army meant that for a long time, the Northern Coalition Army would not pay attention to Yue Yunshan's troops, and he would attack Yue Yunshan's troops without fear.

Lin Shuying, who was walking with Lin Feng, Meng Kuo was also shocked when he saw the battle report of the Yan army.

In the letters sent by Zhao Hongru, he described in detail the balance of forces, tactical coordination, and battlefield contingencies between the enemy and us.

If the description is correct, the Yan army is almost absolutely superior, but it may forcibly block the attack of the coalition army, and later turn defeat into victory, inflicting heavy losses on the coalition army.

Lin Shuying and Meng Kuo, seeing two different scenes, in Lin Shuying's view, the Yan army was weak and suddenly attacked, but still forcibly reversed the situation and hit the coalition army hard, especially seeing Tuoba Yu with 100,000 cavalry, heavy damage to the Xuanjia soldiers, in the early days of the war, they continued to break the encirclement of the coalition army, and their hearts were both envious and expectant, and they hoped more and more in their hearts that Li Mu had trained the Song State Iron Cavalry earlier.

He was even a little impatient, waiting for the cavalry to be refined, and quickly plunged into the battlefield of Chen Guo.

From a military point of view, in addition to the power of the Yan cavalry, it is more important to see the tactical cooperation of the four different legions of the Yan army from the beginning to the end of the war, and the unfavorable situation, how each legion can save the decadent situation, and how the Yan army can turn defeat into victory in the case of weak troops.

He was not sure that if the Yan army was replaced by the Song army, under the same unfavorable situation, the Song army could be leased to cooperate closely, and the situation could be reversed, and the coalition army would eventually be severely damaged.

The two of them had their own surprises in their hearts, and they were simply impressed by the Yan army and the generals of the Yan army.

After being silent for a long time, Lin Shuying raised his head and stared at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, in this battle, if you lead the army to destroy the Yue Yunshan Legion, it seems that the crisis in the Yan Kingdom will be quickly resolved!" ”

"The situation is complicated, besides, you should know that the coalition forces have a steady stream of reinforcements going north, and it seems that the southern vassal states are very ambitious!" Lin Feng knew too well the situation of the Yan Kingdom, he did not completely expel the coalition forces to the south of the Yangtze River, and did not completely relieve the crisis on the Eastern Front, and Dayan was still in turmoil.

He was the slightest bit careless, and even if the war was temporarily victorious, it would not be possible to continue.

What's more, the southern princes continued to increase their troops, and even if they encountered occasional setbacks, they still showed no signs of retreating, and things were getting more and more deviated from what they had expected.

Lessons and blows are two different situations, and he must be vigilant.

Therefore, defeating Yue Yunshan is only the beginning, in the future, the legions under the command of Han Zhitong and others will converge with the reinforcements, and the coalition forces will still attack fiercely, and the Yan army must be able to make moves and resolve the opponent's moves.

In this battle, in order to completely defeat the coalition army and dispel the invasion of the southern princes, it is necessary to severely damage the other party, so that the coalition army loses its armor and removes its armor, and finally the other party will take the initiative to withdraw under the attack of the Yan army.

Without saying much, Lin Feng quickly replied, wrote down his orders, and sent spies to send them back secretly.

At this time, Lin Shuying continued to ask: "According to what you say, even if Song Yan wins by luck in the future, he can't take advantage of the victory to pursue, at most expel the forces of Shu in Jiangbei, take the opportunity to sweep through the Chen State, eradicate this northern traitor, and the army of the southern princes will be defeated, because the northern naval division is weak, and when we train the naval division, it will be a good time for the other party to breathe and regather strength!" ”

"Everything is up to anyone, this is already the best ending, if Yan and Song are defeated, we won't even have a chance to breathe!" Lin Feng sighed.

This battle is destined to make people feel aggrieved, but there is nothing to be done, but it is not a bad thing for Yan Song to take advantage of this opportunity to figure out the strength of the Southern Coalition Army and take the opportunity to come up with a strategy to defend against the enemy.

Glancing at Lin Shuying, Lin Feng said meaningfully: "In this battle, if the coalition army can be effectively annihilated, it will be very commendable, don't think too much about other things for the time being, this time the Yan army hit the coalition army hard, so that the coalition army does not dare to go north for the time being, what about the Song army, as the emperor of the Song State, you don't think about the strategy of resisting the enemy, for more than ten days, you have gone south with the Yan army, you are not afraid of problems in the Song Kingdom, are you not afraid of causing the Song army to be dissatisfied?" Aren't you afraid of the defeat of the Song army? ”

"I have my own opinions on the affairs of the Song Kingdom, what's more, haven't there been news of defeat for so long?" Lin Shuying pursed her lips and said confidently, not worried about Song Jun's problems at all.

In the matter of the Song State, she had already made arrangements, because Dayan was blocked by the south of the main battlefield, and the coalition army attacked the Song State with limited strength, as long as the Chen army was held back to the death, even if it would not win, it would not be defeated.

Tearing it apart briefly, Lin Shuying turned to Lin Feng and asked, "At this moment, the situation is very favorable to the Yan army, when do you plan to attack, the war should be sooner rather than later, it should be resolved quickly, so as not to miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" ’

Before, she didn't have much hope for the Yan army to resist the coalition forces, but the good news from the Yan army just now was enough to prove that the Yan army was strong, even if it was against a larger number of coalition forces, so this war seemed to be not as difficult as imagined.

More importantly, in this battle, there is no need for Song Guo to take action personally, the strength of the Yan army is still unconsciously consumed by the coalition army, if the previous casualties continue, even if the Yan army defeats the coalition army in the future, it will suffer heavy casualties, and the military strength will plummet.

Therefore, the sooner the battle between the coalition forces and the Yan army begins, the more favorable the situation of the Song State will be.

But she also knows that this kind of situation of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred will not always appear on Yan Jun, and after this lesson, the other party will definitely continue to think of ways to reduce battle losses.

Moreover, even if the Yan army is consumed, most of the people left are elite, and the strength of the Great Yan army is still difficult to shake.

Lin Feng didn't say anything, his face was cold, he directly ripped off the map, his eyes focused on the center of the map, and quickly determined the location of the battlefield next, and said sharply: "According to the report, the Chu army is going to Luyang Pass day and night, but it is still in the southern plain, it's time to make a move,"

The battle in the north was beyond expectations, but the troops led by Yue Yunshan in the south made every move according to Lin Feng's plan.

At this time, Lin Feng grabbed the baton, drew a circle in the map, and said categorically to the generals around him: "Attack early tomorrow morning, here, annihilate the Chu army, Cao Aman led 20,000 blade soldiers as the vanguard, directly meet from the front, hit the other party by surprise, wait for the Chu army to start to resist the enemy, Lin Shi, Lin Hu, each led 20,000 troops, from the left and right flanks to attack, and strive to cut off the front and back of the Chu army, completely disrupt the confrontation, the rear army is handed over to Luoda, must not let the other party escape, I personally lead 20,000 troops, into the opponent's core, After victory, the army quickly moved south, detoured back to the rear of the southern reinforcements, and slaughtered them, trying to force them all to the north and cut off their food and grass routes. ”

His plan is very simple, first destroy the Chu army, and then trap the coalition army, without ordnance, grain and grass, no matter how imposing the coalition army is, sooner or later it will become a frosted eggplant,

More importantly, Lin Feng not only arranged what to do in the war, but also deployed how to solve it after the war, which can be described as full of confidence and certainty that the Yan army will win.

"Yes!" The four generals will give their hands to the order, and their words are sharp!

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Rectify the military horses tonight, rest well in the whole army, and attack at dawn." ”
