Chapter 804 Joy and Sorrow

/

After determining the strategy to break the enemy, the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the handsome tent was not as tense as before.

However, with it, new problems reappeared.

Glancing at the generals on all sides, Wen Zhiming frowned, and spoke again: "General Han, in view of the fact that the Yan cavalry is too strong, and it is difficult for the infantry of the five countries to fight alone, I suggest that we reject the deployment of the previous three-way coalition army attack, and everyone gather the five-nation alliance army to fight against the Yan cavalry from the middle road, otherwise, the troops are too scattered, and it is very likely that they will be broken by the Yan cavalry one by one, and the coalition army will be defeated." ”

Witnessing the power of Yan Cai, Xiao Erlong Mountain, more than 40,000 Shu troops were wiped out, although Wen Zhiming sent a message back to China, ready to mobilize more troops, however, he still did not feel that the coalition forces were scattered and could defeat Yan Cai.

Thinking that the Shu army would not succeed in taking advantage of the fire, but would fall into the quagmire of war, and when the war was over, it was very likely that the Yan army would retaliate against him, so he made up his mind that he must take advantage of the existence of the coalition army to severely damage the Yan army and weaken the opponent's strength, so as not to attract the disaster of the Shu country.

The remaining generals also supported and suggested that they continue to unite, although there are internal disputes among everyone, but if they really part ways, it will be self-defeating, and they may encounter Hu Weiyue and others.

"Yes, we must not divide the troops" Wu Jieshao said in a firm tone, very supportive of the coalition forces gathering in one place.

It must be known that the strength of Cai is not strong, in order to seek self-preservation, for revenge, it was united with the four countries, and it had been defeated in Shiyan City before, losing 100,000 troops, if the division of troops continues to be defeated, the power of Shu will inevitably be seriously weakened, and in the future, even if the Yan army has not gone south, it will also be harassed by the southern princes.

Only by winning in the north and consolidating national strength can we have a chance to protect ourselves.

Wang Zhengwen also nodded, and said loudly: "Last night's battle, the number of coalition troops was consumed, if the troops were divided into the opponent's Yan cavalry, if they encountered the same number of Yan cavalry, the coalition army was afraid that they would suffer." ”

He was most worried about being defeated by the Yan army one by one, and at that time, the north bank of the Yangtze River would become the grave of 600,000 allied troops.

Hearing this, Han Zhitong didn't agree immediately, but reflected on each other, and said: "It's not impossible to concentrate superior forces and go all out, but everyone must work together, otherwise, the battle damage will also be great!" ”

After the first battle, the spies sent back the news that the general who blocked the coalition army in Erlong Mountain was Feng Yi, a famous general of the Liang State, and in an instant, he understood why the battle of Erlong Mountain was so difficult.

In addition, he heard that Ju Wentai, another tiger general of Liang State, Zheng Guo's fierce generals Xing Yike, Han Xiandang, and Wu Yue Cai's three generals, surrendered to Yan State one after another and were loyal to Emperor Yan, making the Yan army, which already had many elite soldiers, simply strengthened its wings!

Now, among the Yan army, famous generals are like forests, fierce generals are like clouds, and millions of elite soldiers, Han Zhitong's mood is also changing, the more he understands the Yan army, the less arrogant he is, and the more cautious he is about the war.

The division of troops must not be continued, otherwise, it will simply push the coalition forces into the fire pit.

Therefore, even if Wen Zhiming, Wang Zhengwen and others do not take the initiative to mention it, he will deny the division of troops.

Hearing Han Zhitong's words, Wang Zhengwen said with a serious face: "At this point, General Han can rest assured, before the strength of the Yan State is weakened, the Wu army will not fight again!" ”

Wu Jieshao also said coldly: "General, rest for two days, Wu Yue Cai Shu Fourth Army took the opportunity to train, cooperate with all parties tacitly, and strive to form a perfect battle formation to compete with Yan Cai!" ”

Wen Zhiming and Zhang Yuting were speechless, but agreed with Wu and Wen's suggestion, and soon, the generals of the coalition army left the tent one after another!

The coalition forces discussed ways to fight against Yan Cai, and in Guangling City, Lin Feng received a battle report from the front.

Erlongshan's great victory exceeded his expectations!

For Feng Yi, Tuoba Yu inflicted heavy losses on the coalition army, wiped out nearly 100,000 people on the other side, and discarded Erlong Mountain, he didn't have too many worries.

Although Erlong Mountain is the southern gateway of Yan State, it is not a strategic place, if you want to defend it, sooner or later it will be broken by the coalition army, Feng Yi and the two can rely on the geographical advantage to consume 100,000 people on the other side, especially including 40,000 Xuanjia soldiers, which really surprised him, and he had to praise Feng Yi for living up to the title of famous general.

According to the battle situation at that time, Feng Yi and Tuoba Yu made specific arrangements, which were most in line with the battlefield situation, not to mention the heavy blow to the morale of the coalition army, and also opened a good situation for the Yan army to resist the coalition army.

However, the coalition forces control Erlong Mountain, and the forces will definitely extend to the hinterland of Yan State, how they will deploy, whether they will continue to divide their troops into three ways and invade Yan Country after experiencing the heavy losses of Feng Yi's army, or whether the whole army will work together and go north directly in one go, he can't make an intuitive judgment for the time being.

Fortunately, the situation is not as bad as imagined, not long ago, Zhao Hongru led the ironclad infantry to arrive in Yuecheng, and Li Lin's dog and wolf legion converged, Feng Yi, Tuoba Yu retreated, and will meet with Zhao Li in Yuecheng, the number of Yan troops will soar to 300,000, but it can also fight to the death with the coalition army.

Won the first battle, the war in the south was worry-free, Lin Feng still did not dare to underestimate the enemy, the western front, Zhang Yu, Ju Wentai and the two of them, led 150,000 foot cavalry to block the Shu army, and no news had been sent back.

On the eastern front, Lin Xiao and Liu Xuanyuan led 200,000 cavalry, all of whom were the troops who captured Donghu that year, and they were not proficient in water, and it was not clear whether they could block the Chu army led by Xiong Kui and block the opponent outside the coastline.

Therefore, Feng Yi's victory in the south can change the morale of the Yan army, and if the other two armies are in a worrying situation, they still can't change the passive situation of the Yan country!

For a while, Lin Feng had the idea of going south in person and fighting a quick battle, at this moment, there were still several elite cavalry around him, plus the number of defending troops led by Heng Bangchang in Luoyi City far exceeded the coalition army, and most of them were equal in all-out battle.

It's a pity that the reality made him quickly dispel his inner thoughts, the five countries attacked Yan, and the Yan army must ensure that after expelling the five countries, it has enough strength to eliminate the southward and eliminate the coalition army.

What's more, there are crises around Yan Guo, and he doesn't dare to guarantee that there will be no accidents in the three-way troops, not to mention that Song Guo wants to come back on his word, if he takes advantage of the emptiness of Yan Guo's defense and takes advantage of the fire to rob, the problem will become more serious.

He must have extra strength in his hands to prevent accidents anywhere!

Just when Lin Feng was elated and complacent about Feng Yi's victory in the first battle, Hou Mingfeng and Zhao Hongru quickly ran into the mansion with red faces and entered Lin Feng's study, panting one by one, as if something big had happened.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Lin Feng put down the good news in his hand, sat upright, and asked very puzzled: "Old Hou, Hongru, what's the alarm?" ”

The two of them wanted to be steady, even if they were among the ten thousand armies, they would not panic, and today's expression, Lin Feng really saw it for the first time.

Hou Mingfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead, licked the corners of his dry mouth, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has lost contact with the troops on the Eastern Front?" ”

"What do you mean?" Hearing Hou Mingfeng's words, Lin Feng was puzzled, the eastern front was Lin Xiao, and the cavalry led by Liu Xuanyuan was fighting against the Xiongkui Naval Division, and it was far away from Guangling City, and it was expected that no news was received in a short time.

If Hou Mingfeng panicked about such a trivial matter, he would inevitably make a big fuss.

Hou Mingfeng was not as relaxed as Lin Feng, and said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, Jinyang City is extremely far away from Guangling City, but if the news is transmitted, it will be possible to arrive in more than ten days, however, since the emperor led most of the troops and arrived in Guangling City, it has been a month, but no news from the Eastern Front has been received during this period. The last general sent people to investigate twice, and nearly half a month has passed, and no news has been received so far.

In addition, just now the news came from Lord Situ of the Chaotang that a large amount of ordnance and grain from the south entered the Yan Kingdom through various channels after the year, and finally most of them were transported to Jinyang City, where did they converge? ”

Hearing this, Lin Feng unconsciously picked up the teacup on the desk, and drank it continuously until the tea in the cup bottomed out, then put down the teacup, stared at Hou Mingfeng and said, "Old Hou, what do you think about this?" ”

"The last general will not dare to say!" Hou Mingfeng lowered his head and said softly.

Lin Feng probably guessed what Hou Mingfeng wanted to say, his face was pale, and he urged: "Say, you and I don't have to hide my secrets!" ”

At this time, Hou Mingfeng raised his head, walked out of the study, ordered the guards outside to leave, closed the door tightly, approached Lin Feng, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the rebellion of Li Mengchang and other nobles that you suppressed with thunder a few years ago, but, according to the information collected from all sides at that time, Li Mengchang was only a pawn in the hands of the Southern Gate Valve Family, and there were other people behind him. At present, suddenly losing contact with the defenders of the Eastern Front, a large amount of food and ordnance was transported to Jinyang City, and the last general dared to guess whether it would be, whether it would be, whether the Duke of Jin Guo had a ghost in his heart, or the generalissimo had different intentions! ”

Losing contact with the army, a steady stream of food and ordnance was transported to Jinyang City, any of these two things happened, which meant that the Yan army that went to Jinyang City to resist the enemy Xiongkui might have an accident.

What's more, the two things happened at almost the same time, since Hou Mingfeng was in charge of the two things, he had to pay attention to it, taking into account all kinds of accidents, after all, this matter was seriously designed to the ordnance.

"Impossible, impossible, it must have been an accident with the spies and they haven't returned in time!" When Lin Feng heard this, he was a little self-deceived, and hurriedly denied Hou Mingfeng's idea.

He didn't believe that Lin Xiao and Liu Xuanyuan would betray him. It was, it is, and it will be!

To tell the truth, there were rebels in the army before, and he had doubted many generals, but he had never suspected Lin Xiao and Liu Xuanyuan, and he didn't think about it.

These two people have followed him for too long, and when Yan was in the most difficult time, he always insisted on supporting himself, Liu Xuanyuan guarded the Black Flag Pass for three years, and trained 100,000 elite cavalry for Yan Guo, it can be said that without Liu Xuanyuan defending the north, the Yan army would have been wiped out by the Rong clan, how can there be today's power.

If he wanted to rebel, when the power of Yan was weak, he led the cavalry of Black Flag Pass and directly waved his army south, and the Yan Kingdom directly changed hands.

Lin Xiao, when the Yan State was in danger, at the age of sixteen, he personally fought side by side with him, severely damaged the Rong cavalry, and created a great victory in the north, how could there be a rebellion when the Yan State occupied most of the northern region and was about to move south to dominate the world?
