Chapter 1198: This is Ouyang Shuo
The coalition's routine is far deeper than Lian Po thought.
Meng Tian led the Great Jin Forbidden Army to attack, not to break out of the canyon at all, but to drag the Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army, so that the Great Xia Forbidden Army could smoothly leave the battlefield and enter the vast wilderness.
One intercepts, one delays.
The next big battle in the canyon can be imagined.
Seeing the majesty of the Great Xia Forbidden Army, the soldiers of the Great Jin Forbidden Army were also screaming, unwilling to be compared like this, under the command of Meng Tian, they seized the weakness of the enemy army to seek stability, and completed beautiful killings again and again.
Since the enemy army will be wrong, Meng Tian naturally doesn't mind, and takes this opportunity to further weaken the strength of the enemy army, and he can kill one by one.
Between the two, there is a deep blood feud.
When the sun sets again, the battle will come to an end.
The camp of the Royal Forest Army was plowed by two armies one after another, and it was already full of messes, corpses were everywhere, and the camp was full of black smoke, which was the grain and grass burned, and it was desolate.
Even so, Lian Po still showed a relieved smile.
"No matter what, I finally stopped the Great Jin Forbidden Army, otherwise I would really have no shame to see the king."
Meng Tian on the other side also smiled.
At this point in the battle, the task of the Great Jin Forbidden Army was completed, and the results were much better than expected before the war, and in one day, the coalition army killed nearly 70,000 people in the Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army.
After this battle, the Great Zhou Imperial Forest Army was not beaten to the point of being crippled, at least it was lame.
"Next, let's watch the performance of the Great Xia Forbidden Army."
Meng Tian rode on a black war horse and glanced back at the mouth of the canyon, full of hope.
…………
It's night, the Great Zhou Dynasty, Handan City.
Di Chen put down the battle report that had just been sent from the front line, both happy and worried.
Happily, under the command of Wu Qi, the encirclement and suppression operation of the Flame Army of the Great Zhou Army went very smoothly, and more than 80,000 people were killed in just one day, which was the greatest result achieved by the Great Zhou Army since the start of the war.
Not surprisingly, tomorrow's gains will continue to expand.
Without the mainstay of the Flame Army, even if the Great Jin Dynasty survived this catastrophe, it would still be a toothless tiger and would never be able to jump back again. If Da Zhou wants to clean up Dajin, he can do it at any time.
Of course, Di Chen still hopes to solve the battle in one go and make a profit.
The worry is the battle of Fengbao.
In just two days, the Imperial Forest Army under the command of Lian Po was beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he also let the Great Xia Janissaries break through and leave, which became an uncertain factor on the battlefield.
The Imperial Forest Army is Di Chen's descendant troops, and it is the most important weight for him to maintain the rule of the dynasty.
In view of this, Emperor Chen even deliberately issued a military order to Wu Qi, asking Wu Qi to capture the Flame Army as much as possible, so as to obtain enough prisoners of war in order to make up for the battle losses of the Imperial Forest Army.
Otherwise, the deal will be a big loss.
Fortunately, Lian Po finally didn't let the Great Jin Forbidden Army run away, otherwise Emperor Chen would really have to deal with Lian Po.
Compared with a god general like Wu Qi, although Lian Po is loyal and reliable, and has rich experience, in the end, he still disappointed Di Chen, and the performance of the two on the battlefield is also very different.
One is a big victory, and the other is barely undefeated.
"It's a pity that it can't really be used for me."
Di Chen let out a long sigh, if Wu Qi was not a tyrant, Di Chen would have taken this opportunity to promote Wu Qi to the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty and become the real giant of the Great Zhou Army.
You know, Lian Po is still a general.
But as soon as he thought of Xiongba, Di Chen forcibly suppressed this thought, and did not dare to take any risks.
Since taking the post of Wu Hou, Xiongba has behaved very calmly and low-key, and has basically disappeared from public view. Unless Emperor Chen summoned him, he would stay in Jiangnan Province and not leave the jurisdiction for half a step.
Looking at it this way, Xiongba seems to have resigned himself to his fate.
But Di Chen doesn't think so, what kind of person Xiongba is, there is no one who knows better than Di Chen. Such an ambitious hero will not be willing to lie dormant all the time.
Once the opportunity is seized by the hero, he will take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Chen has been suppressing the Xiongba intentionally or unintentionally, reducing the influence of the Xiongba in the Great Zhou Dynasty to the lowest point.
In contrast, for Chun Shenjun and Wolf Warrior, Emperor Chen is much more tolerant.
In the business system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Chunshenjun family accounted for half of the country, and Emperor Chen turned a blind eye to this in exchange for the loyalty of the Chunshenjun family.
As for the wolf warrior, it is even more low-key than the hero.
Especially when the time entered Gaia's six years, the wolf warrior who used to be hot-blooded seems to have lost his fighting spirit overnight, and now he doesn't even care much about the Red Blood Army.
Although Emperor Chen is strange, he is also happy to be like this, and let it go.
"It's hard!"
Sometimes, Di Chen is really very envious of Ouyang Shuo, who can be in charge of the world alone.
Don't look at the high positions and powers such as Bai Hua and the siege lion, they can be regarded as a feudal giant, but Emperor Chen knows very well that with Ouyang Shuo's control in Great Xia, he can take back these things sent out at any time.
Can he Emperor Chen?
Not to mention recovering the power of Xiongba and others, it is difficult to infiltrate the Danyang Army, the Overlord Army and the Red Blood Army. Where Emperor Chen is like the lord of a country, he is simply the lord of the alliance of princes.
Otherwise, Emperor Chen would not have conspired with the tiger, and chose to cooperate with the Song and Ming dynasties, trying to drive Chun Shenjun and the wolf warrior out of the foundation and consolidate the royal power.
As long as these two are taken, the remaining heroes will not be able to jump, and they will be left to Emperor Chen.
Dichen is still very confident in this.
"Let's hope everything goes well!"
In the final analysis, the battle of the Great Jin Dynasty was not only a key battle for the counterattack of the Great Zhou, but also a key battle for Emperor Chen to plan the absolute dominance of the Great Zhou, and poured all his efforts into it.
This battle, Emperor Chen can't afford to lose.
…………
The night is gone, and the day falls.
After the Great Xia Praetorian Guards rushed out of the canyon and broke away from the Fengbao battlefield, in addition to resting on the spot for an hour, tidying up their equipment a little, and replenishing drinking water, the Praetorian Guards marched all the way, day and night.
Even eating, drinking water and military food pills are used right away.
This time, the War Readiness Agency was also very generous, and it allocated a full 2 million military food pills for the three legions of the Praetorian Guard, and if it was saved, it could support 200,000 troops for a week.
At the same time, in order not to affect the overall speed of the march, the remaining 10,000 infantry of the Fourth Army broke away from the large army and prepared to lurk around Luofeng City, not marching with the cavalry.
The Praetorian Guards are in such a hurry, do they want to save the Flame Army?
Naturally not.
Ouyang Shuo has long said that this time he wants to play with a big ticket.
The Praetorian Guards hurried day and night, not to the north, but to prepare to march eastward, and the front of the troops was directed at the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to set off a great storm in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the most impossible time.
At dawn, the army rested in place for an hour.
Huo Quzhi rode on a white warhorse, looked at the morning light in the distance, turned around and got on the horse, "All of them, continue to hurry, and strive to reach the border tonight." ”
"No!"
In less than ten minutes, 200,000 cavalry were ready to continue.
There is a reason why they are so fast, even if they are resting in place, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard do not take off their armor, lie down in their clothes, and rest directly on the back of their horses, ready to set off at any time.
Therefore, the military order can complete the assembly so quickly.
The vast army, facing the rising sun, galloped in the vast wilderness, which attracted people's attention.
…………
Di Chen's emphasis on intelligence is on par with Ouyang Shuo.
During the attack on the Great Jin Dynasty, in addition to the [Emperor Feng] secret agents, the scouts of the Great Zhou Army were almost all over the corners of the Great Jin Dynasty. The Great Xia Praetorian Guard traveled, how could such a big movement be hidden from the eyes of these spies.
Soon, the abnormal marching route of the Great Xia Praetorian Guard attracted the attention of the spies along the way.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Di Chen received relevant information.
At first, Emperor Chen was not sure about the intentions of the Great Xia Praetorian Guard, thinking that their eastward march was just a normal march, and the final destination was still the north.
But at noon, seeing the Great Xia Praetorian Guard advancing eastward without stopping, Di Chen realized that something was unusual.
"Excuse me?"
Di Chen's heart suddenly had a bad premonition, he couldn't sit still anymore, and shouted outside the door: "Someone! ”
"In!"
"Order spies along the way, pay close attention to the whereabouts of the Great Xia Praetorian Guard, and report it immediately if they are still advancing eastward. At the same time, let the border cities and grain transportation teams strengthen vigilance and not slack off. ”
"No!"
After giving the order, Di Chen was still not at ease, and walked around the room in a hurry.
"If that's the case, it's bad."
Di Chen's face was gloomy, and for the first time in his heart, he had a strong dissatisfaction with Lian Po, "This old thing, why did the Great Xia Praetorian Guards run out so easily?" Well, now, it's really not worry-free. ”
Taking a deep breath, Di Chen tried to calm himself down.
With intuition, without the need for secret agents to confirm, Di Chen was almost certain that the target of the Great Xia Praetorian Guard must be Kyoto Province, or even Handan City, to carry out a "decapitation operation" at the most unlikely time.
This is very similar to Ouyang Shuo's usual style of acting.
This can also explain a series of anomalies before Great Xia.
"So, is all this, including the Flame Army's initiative to retreat north, a trap?"
For some reason, Di Chen was unusually awake at this time, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he connected all the abnormalities of these days together, and guessed Daxia's intentions.
The Flame Army used itself as bait to lead the Great Wednesday Army to the north of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Imperial Forest Army was crippled again, and in front of the Great Xia Praetorian Guard, it was a completely undefended Kyoto Province.
The Great Zhou army entered the Great Jin from Kyoto Province, and the border was originally the safest, but under the joint efforts of the Great Jin and the Great Xia, they made a bureau and became the most unsafe border in the Great Zhou.
At this moment, Di Chen was completely panicked.
Not to mention Kyoto Province, in the entire territory of the Great Zhou, except for the forbidden armies of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, the Great Zhou only left the troops guarding the monster lair, as well as sporadic local garrisons.
With these people alone, how could they be able to stop the Great Xia Guards?
"No, I can't sit still, I can't lose, there must be a way." Dichen's eyes were red, and he walked around the room like a drowning madman, trying to find the last straw.
