Chapter 160

Winning

When the Shengfan catastrophe first entered Yannan, Xie Zihao led Nanhuo to leave Dayan and return to the plateau, and the porcelain doll originally planned to unite with the Motuo army, ambush the Yan army that returned to China for reinforcements in Yanxi, and bite the enemy hard. Please keep in mind that when Mr. Bo sent the confidential news that the northern army of Yanbei had been marched out and rushed to the plateau, Xie Zimiao guessed Jingtai's strategy of 'increasing the army, breaking the Uighurs, fixing the plateau, and then returning to the aid of Yantu'

At that time, porcelain dolls were faced with three choices.

The first is to keep the original plan unchanged, no matter how many routes of troops the Yan army sends to reinforce them, they will eventually return to Dayan from Xiguan, and the soldiers transferred from Nanhuo and Motuo will form a coalition to continue to set up ambushes.

However, the form of the battle has changed, and it is obviously not wise to ambush again: the reinforcements from Yanbei are huge, and when they go to the plateau to join the first Yanxi expeditionary army, even if they have fought a vicious battle with the Uighurs, when they come back, the number will definitely be more than previously expected, which means that the enemy will be stronger, and the porcelain doll wants to ambush again, and the troops on hand will not be enough. If the wolf's clamp hits the bear's leg, the bear will be injured somewhat, but the clip will definitely be completely broken by the violent bear; Moreover, when the two Yan armies converged and withdrew from the plateau, the Uighur army at Rinkha had been completely wiped out, and the loss was too great.

The second method is for Xie Zihao to mobilize the coalition forces to snipe the reinforcements of the Yan people, and prevent the reinforcements from Yanbei from going to the plateau.

At first glance, it seems that this matter is feasible, and the force that was originally intended to be used to ambush the Yan army of the country was used to surprise the reinforcements who were newly sent to the plateau, but the direction of the operation was changed...... But there's one more thing: time. It takes time to set up ambushes and traps, and it was originally planned that the first Yan expeditionary force would come back, and it would take two or three months at the earliest, but now that the northern Yan army is advancing westward, it will take less than a month to arrive outside the pass from the place of departure, and the Nanhuo and Motuo forces have no time to arrange; And more importantly, let's not think about whether we can get it and beat it, even if the porcelain doll really stops the enemy army from Yanbei, the other party is likely to simply give up reinforcements, and then return to the central and eastern parts of the country to participate in the defense of the Shengfan catastrophe, in this way, at least in a short time, Yan can still be as stable as a rock.

This is not the result that Xie Zimiao hoped for.

The porcelain doll understands Jingtai's strategy, and naturally it can also know that Jingtai is gambling.

In Emperor Yan's gamble, if the two armies were able to return to Yantu in time after defeating the Uighurs, it would undoubtedly be the most ideal outcome, and it would be the first game; If the Uighurs were defeated and the defense was not able to return, Dayan would be destroyed in the catastrophe, but Jingtai still had the army on the plateau and the most powerful armament in the world in Middle-earth. But once the two armies in front and behind are wiped out on the plateau, and the Yan Kingdom cannot resist Shengfan, Jingtai will lose completely, which cannot be called the next game, it can only be called a 'tragic situation'.

However, the 'tragedy' is almost impossible, when the two expeditionary forces in front and behind the Great Yan converge, the scale is unprecedented, the Uighurs entrenched in the holy city are by no means opponents, and the Uighurs are unable to send any more decent reinforcements, how can there be any strength to shake the majestic Yan array......

Xie Zimiao wants Jingtai to fail, so she wants to give it a try...... It seems that the Yan army on the plateau is not cast in copper and iron.

So, she made the third choice: decisive battle against Rinka, decisive victory against Rinka!

First, persuade Motuo to give up his territory and mobilize all his forces, and form an alliance with Nanhuo to reinforce the Rinka battlefield.

Mo Tuo is not a fool, the situation of Yan, the movement of the army, the battle situation on the plateau and other pieces of information are in front of him, and after Xie Zimiao's careful explanation, how can he not understand that as long as the Yan army on the plateau is destroyed, the powerful Yan country will be completely finished; Looking at his own situation, Yan has already turned his face against him, and he has sent assassins to harm him, this time he can't really turn out the other party, and when Da Yan breathes a sigh of relief, he will wait for his family to be ruined and die tragically in the chaos.

If this can be done this time, Lord Motuo will undoubtedly be the benefactor of the Uighurs and a close friend of Nanli, and will immediately become the number one force on the plateau......

The great feudal lord gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth again, until Xie Zimiao agreed to him, even if the army was defeated this time, Song Yang would take him and his family to take refuge in the deep mountains of Nanli, at least the second half of his life could be spent smoothly, Motuo finally made up his mind, lit up the 60,000 troops in his hand, and joined the action of Nanhuo.

In order to track down the whereabouts of the straw, Hua Xiaofei rushed to the territory of Motuo, but he pounced, at that time, the Yan people only thought that Motuo had escaped to avoid trouble, and who would have thought that he was going to Rinka with his soldiers and Nanhuo.

The Yan army was huge, relying only on the 100,000 allied army and the Rinkha Uighur army, but there was still no chance of victory, and if they wanted to win this battle, they had to be reinforced by the Uighurs, and if the new army was less than 200,000, it would simply not be used, and there was no point in coming.

Xie Zihao knew more about the current situation of the Uighurs than others, and the continuous vicious battles caused serious internal friction in the desert, and although they had been winning battles, they had never had time to turn their victories into real benefits to enrich their national strength. In addition, the Uighurs are not monolithic... Dayan has Tan thieves, Dog Rong has sand rebellion, Tubo has ghost soldiers, and even Nanli has barbarian rebellion, and the Uighurs are naturally no exception, they have their internal troubles. Moreover, the pattern of the desert is somewhat similar to that of Tibet, with countless tribes and nobles of all sizes serving the Holy Fire Palace, and it is their duty to recruit troops to fight in the east at sunrise, but there must be a limit, not every tribe is willing to take out all their family resources to fight for the Great Khan.

It is true that the Uighurs still have 50 percent of their troops, but these armies are either in the hands of many tribes and cannot be forcibly conquered. Therefore, this fifty percent of the strength depends on how to calculate, if the foreign enemy invades, they will definitely rise up to resist, and all of them can come in handy; If you're going on an expedition...... There is a limit to the power that can be called again.

Even if the Great Khan brought out all the maids in the palace, he couldn't make an army of 200,000 people.

The Great Khan didn't, but the Sand did.

In the past, the Sand tribe joined forces with the Uighurs to defeat the steppe iron cavalry, and the Sand people sent troops at Song Yang's request, but in fact, they fought for their own living space. Therefore, the sand people still owe Song Yang a favor, a great favor, expose the fake sand master, and save the favor of the whole clan.

Xie Zihao sent out three letters, one to the Great Khan, one to the King of Baiyin, and the other to the Right Prime Minister Ban, who was still in the camp of the Shamin, and soon, the Great Khan personally visited the camp of the Shamin......

The Uighurs had weak air defenses and had to rely on the sand people to defend the eastern gateway, and although the Inujon Empire had been beaten to pieces before, the wolf pawns were still a threat to be guarded against. However, if this battle can be won on the plateau, the result is too tempting, and Sunrise East decides to take the risk.

Not long after, a coalition of 20,000 Purgatory Heavy Cavalry stationed on the mainland, 40,000 elite Uighur guards and nearly 200,000 young Sand tribesmen crossed the desert and attacked the plateau.

From the beginning of their official dispatch of troops, there were bursts of sandstorms in the north of the plateau, and the army was reduced to zero, cautiously sneaking, and approaching the Rinka battlefield step by step.

In late autumn and early winter, the northwest wind was blowing, and the northern border of the plateau near the desert would have more or less sandy weather at this time, which also became the best cover for the Uighur and Shamin coalition forces. As for the combined forces of Nanhuo and Metuo, they were even more stealthy during the march, they took advantage of the territory and people, and during the march Motuo would often bring heavy gifts to visit the future feudal lords, seeking cover and secret routes......

The Yan people suffered a loss to fight outside the country, the intelligence was ineffective, and they were unable to detect the movements of the two coalition forces in advance, if the war took place in the mainland, Sha Min and Xie Zimiao would not want to hide the Yan people's investigation even if they really knew the demon law.

And the person with the most pressure in the whole thing is none other than Shemuschel, who has to lead his troops to hold on until the two strange soldiers arrive; He also needs to preserve enough strength to launch a fierce charge when reinforcements arrive, only in this way can the internal and external effects be combined.

As the generalissimo of the Uighur expeditionary force, of course, Shemusher had already received the will of the Great Khan and understood the overall plan, otherwise how could he grasp the timing so accurately, but this matter was confidential, not only related to the success or failure of the battle, but also involved the entire pattern of Middle-earth and the lives of countless people.

If it weren't for the decisive battle, he wouldn't have left his sons in the holy city to die; If it weren't for the decisive battle, he would not have turned a blind eye to the huge casualties on the city wall, and would have always kept the 80,000 elite cavalry in his hands, let alone transfer all the cavalry up the mountain today, and take advantage of the situation to dive and attack the enemy camp...... He had waited for this moment, he had waited for this moment.

Before the decisive charge, he had sent an order to the whole army, 'Five days later, still here, I will share the fruits with you', which is not a lie, but there is indeed a sweet fruit waiting for them to taste!

He wants all the soldiers to taste together, and those who live will return; Those who die in battle, the soul returns.

When the reinforcements suddenly appeared and rushed into the enemy's formation, what a great encouragement to the last cavalry in the expeditionary force, and in an instant, the killing was thunderous, and every red-clothed soldier burst out with strength and ferocity that even he had never imagined; On the contrary, the coalition army that fell from the sky was not a devastating blow to the morale of the Yan people, the Yan soldiers did not know how many enemies there were, they did not know where the enemy came from, and they were very tired, really tired, and they had been attacking the city without interruption for more than a month, even if they took turns to replace them, it greatly consumed their physical strength.

……

Tragic decisive battle.

Shemuchher still miscalculated one thing, a trivial matter, inconsequential, the agreement between him and his soldiers: a five-day covenant to reunite on the Holy Mountain.

He thought that five days would be enough to determine the winner, but Coach Yan was not incompetent, even if he fell into the killing of fierce enemies in three directions; Even though the morale of the Yan army was almost gone, and the morale of the army was weakened and unable to fight again, Zhou Jing still gritted his teeth and commanded the loyal deployment to resist it, and even once he was in danger of reversing the situation.

When the general trend has gone, Zhou Jing does not escape, but still fights hard...... It was not until ten days later that the shouts of killing finally dissipated, and the powerful army sent by Jingtai to the plateau was destroyed, and the allied forces from the Uighurs, Shamin, Nanhuo, and Metuo finally won the battle, and won a resounding victory.

Nearly eighty percent of the elite cavalry under the command of Xie Musher was lost, and in the end, there were less than 20,000 people left, and the end was almost completely annihilated; More than half of the Uighur elite and Sha people from the north suffered casualties, and only half of the 60,000 men brought by Metuo remained. In contrast, it was Song Yang's Nanhuo that suffered the least damage, 40,000 murderers were thrown into the battlefield, and after the fierce battle, there were still 30,000 fierce soldiers.

It's not that Nanhuo is deliberately preserving their strength, on the contrary, they fought more fiercely than any friendly army, and after the fight, Yan Pawn would rather face the Purgatory Heavy Cavalry than run into this group of crazy Nanban...... The Southern Fire fought the fiercest battles and suffered the fewest casualties, only because they were elite soldiers, real elite soldiers, warriors tempered with blood, fire, and murder weapons.

There is no army in the world that is more afflicted than them. Today, the bloody rebirth of the southern fire has become a symbol of disaster.

The war was a battle that was devastating to all sides, but it was worth the cost. Anyone can understand that this battle will forever go down in history, because it truly changed the landscape of Middle-earth.

The First World War is over, and the Yan Kingdom is over.

The porcelain doll also came, such a major battle, how could she not come, the pity is that she fell into a deep coma before the war was over, she was delayed on the plateau for too long, with her physique difficult to support.

Many famous doctors gathered together to save her life, and after temporarily stabilizing her condition, she quickly moved to a lower altitude, Yan Guo and Nanli could not go back for the time being, and Ah Xia and others escorted her to the Uighurs in a hurry.

Xie Zimiao was in a state of confusion, and he never really woke up, and he often spat out some nonsense, including jokes told when he was a child with his two pairs of parents, the strategy and deployment of the first battle of Rinka, and the sentence: If you win, notify Song Yang.
