Chapter 394: Sending Troops

"Ningcheng and Yangcheng are the closest to my southern Xinjiang, and the Jin people also have heavy guards, Ningcheng garrison 80,000, Yangcheng garrison 120,000, today came to provoke, is Yangcheng garrison, the remaining Yucheng garrison 40,000, Qingcheng and Heping City each garrison 30,000. ”

Sister Yan asked, "Is there a way to detour to Yucheng, Qingcheng and Heping City?"

The commander of the southern camp replied, "There are roads, but all the passes are guarded by Jin troops, and I am afraid it will be difficult to bypass." ”

"Yes, Yu, Qing, Ping, the three cities of Ningyang and the two cities are not more than a hundred miles, marching with all their strength, one day is enough, I am afraid it is not easy to fight quickly, besides, after taking the five cities, even if we refuse to defend the city at that time, the Jin army will not defend the city, and our forces will be dispersed at that time." ”

Sister Yan said, "At present, the five cities are to be taken, and when the five cities are successfully taken, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have issued an order to mobilize the troops of the vassal kings, and at that time, the vassal kings can muster at least 250,000 troops, plus the original 300,000 troops in southern Xinjiang and the 100,000 dispatched by the old marquis, which is enough to hold southern Xinjiang, otherwise the Jin army will take a step." ”

The generals looked at each other, did they have to go all out to deal with the Jin State? Such a risk was not small, and the Shang State would not sit idly by.

Everyone discussed for a while, and if they wanted to bypass the second city of Ningyang and take the other three cities, it would not work to surround the second city of Ningyang, so they could only join forces in one place, fight quickly, and press to Yuyang Pass.

Sister Yan said, "The 200,000 horses of the three battalions in the north, south and west, together with one army, are the left road, go straight to Ningcheng, and then press to Yucheng, the 100,000 horses of the main seat and the left and right battalions plus the 100,000 sent by the old marquis, a total of 200,000, for the right road, take Yangcheng, and then Qingcheng, the most important thing is speed, it can't be detected by the Jin army, it is necessary to attack it unprepared, and they can't wait for reinforcements, and they must block the reinforcements in Yuyang Pass. ”

"The last will understand. ”

"Well, today this seat has gained some advantages in the head-to-head confrontation with them, they should think that we will take the opportunity to inspire, we take advantage of its defenselessness, 200,000 bows and arrows will also arrive tonight, and the three watch armies will set off at night, and the battalions will quickly join forces, and then attack the city directly, take Yang City first, and arrive at Yuyang Pass with a reward. ”

Everyone rushed back to the camp and sharpened their knives.

Since the Jin State and the Shang State thought that the Chu State would not dare to strike first, let them see if the Chu State was easy to bully, and the Jin State relied on the Shang State to provoke, so let them pay some price first.

Lian Jin wants to make a profit, but unfortunately Jin is not an opponent on a par with Chu, among the five countries, Chu is the most unwilling to admit defeat, and the situation is also the most dangerous, so the army of Chu has always been the head of the five countries, if the two countries can really trust each other and help each other, they will not have advanced an inch in these years, and they have lost several cities to Chu.

Although Lian Jin is said to be the most talented son of the Shang royal family in recent years, and he has solved the shortcomings of the major families in controlling the government in one fell swoop, it is a pity that the more such people, the deeper their minds are about the city, and they calculate too much, and they refuse to trust their allies, and even calculate their allies.

Although the alliance of Chu failed, Chu has always been accustomed to relying on itself, and the more this is the case, the stronger Chu will become.

Nanqi hurried day and night, eager to fly to southern Xinjiang at once, and the edict of inheriting the throne in his arms became more and more heavy.

He never thought about the day when he would inherit the throne, because that would mean that his father was gone, but he would rather be trapped in the capital for the rest of his life than his father.

There is no such thing in the world as it should be, and the more cherished it is, the easier it is to lose.

King Ling has also received a letter from his sister at this time, and his sister Yan said that he had sent a letter to the prince, asking the prince to send an edict to let him bring troops to support.

Gong Luo was only more than a month pregnant, but she was very supportive of his decision, and silently packed her bags, for fear that she would miss something, and the prince would not be used to it at that time.

King Ling's Mansion also received a letter from Yi Ning, almost crying word for word, there were many accusations in the letter, King Ling didn't say anything, and he never replied, only Gong Luo knew the pain in his heart best.

Yi Ning resented him, hated him for snatching away his mother, and didn't protect his mother, and couldn't even let her see her for the last time, but she was the dearest sister of the prince, and the prince promised to take care of her, so the prince would not defend himself, but would only protect her silently.

At the same time, Xie Yuan and the others in the industries of Chu have already begun to act, on the one hand, they are frantically selling all kinds of commodities, and on the other hand, they are secretly buying grain.

Others only thought that they were afraid that after the war between the two countries, they would not be able to do business, and now they were ready to withdraw from the Shang country, so they did not doubt him.

They were in a hurry to make a move, and the price was naturally lowered, and the price was suddenly reduced, which attracted everyone to take advantage of it, and other businessmen were robbed of business before they could react.

From antique treasures to eating, drinking, and wearing, the market suddenly became active, and for a while, in order to prevent the merchants of Chu from occupying the market, other merchants also lowered their prices.

The market is in turmoil.

When everyone's eyes were staring at these things, truckloads of grain were being transported to the Chu State, and Sister Yan and Xie Ming had already prepared the smoothest road for them at the border gate.

Grain continued to arrive in the territory of Chu.

Xie Ling reached an agreement with Emperor Qi to block the way for Qi to help Shang.

Then he and Tianshen soldiers divided into two ways, and personally entered the Shang and Jin countries to personally investigate their situation.

found the most suitable position and placed manpower to prepare for the future instigation of the Jin State to attack the Shang State against the Shang State.

At this time, Lian Jin discovered the whereabouts of the two, and only then did he confirm that the two were not dead, and sent three groups of spies to investigate, and sent three groups of killers to kill them when they saw them.

It's a pity that Xie Ling and Tian Shen have already made contact with their sister's people and have the capital to deal with Lian Jin.

When the news of the emperor's successive defeat of seven enemy generals came back to southern Xinjiang, the people all cheered and were full of energy.

The lord of the Jin Kingdom was annoyed when he went back, he didn't expect to provoke this killing god this time, he had long heard that Xie Jieyan was a demon girl who killed people without blinking, and he also confused the prince of Chu State, but he didn't expect that he had arrived in southern Xinjiang without knowing it.

Today's battle will definitely be publicized by them, and the Chu army will definitely be hit by the death of the king of Yunnan in Chu soon, and Sister Xie will definitely take the opportunity to rectify the morale of the army.

Legend has it that this person has an uncertain temperament, is brave and ruthless, and will definitely not forgive, in this case, if he can take down her head, I am afraid it will be more effective than the head of Yunnan Wangdao.

Because the record of this battle was too embarrassing, the main general did not report it, but pressed it down first.

On the third watch, the Chu army was ready to go.

After the two armies were in place, the army was mobilized.

The whole country of Chu was excited, but it was rare for the country of Chu to take the initiative to attack.

Half a day later, the two armies each reached a distance of twenty miles from the enemy city.

Jin Jun couldn't believe his eyes, and someone immediately went back to the city to report.

These generals of the Chu State are the right-hand men of the Yunnan king, leaving the king of Yunnan, each of them can also be independent, but they lost their backbone for a while, and the arrival of their sister Yan gave them a dose of reassurance, and yesterday's battle inspired their ambition, so today they are all majestic and high-spirited to the Chu army.

Outside Ningcheng, the black dragon flag led the Yunnan Wangwang flag embroidered with southern characters fluttering, and the defenders of Ningcheng were very flustered.

In terms of momentum, the Chu army was bent on revenge, and naturally it won, and the Jin army always thought that the Chu army would not take the initiative to attack, so it was defenseless and panicked.

How shocking it was for 200,000 troops to guard outside their own city, the Jin Kingdom had not seen such a scene for many years.

Although it was difficult to attack the city, the Jin army did not have the courage to defend it, but in one day, the remaining 50,000 Jin troops abandoned the city and fled.

The Ningcheng army, which was about to flee to Yangcheng, learned the news that Yangcheng was also besieged halfway, so he didn't go to support, but instead prepared to go to Qingcheng.

The main general on the left left left 30,000 Chu troops to receive the city, and then chased after the victory.

The 50,000 Jin troops fled in disarray, and they had no heart to resist.

The Chu army inevitably fled to join forces with other Jin troops and pursued them with all their might.

On the side of Yangcheng, the main general didn't expect Xie Jieyan to bring troops to besiege the city, but the 120,000 army could still resist for a long time.

But he didn't expect that the people who went to Ningcheng for help said that Ningcheng had been broken, and the Ningcheng desertion army led 200,000 Chu troops to Yangcheng.

When the lord general heard this, he panicked all of a sudden, if the 200,000 Chu troops arrived, then Yangcheng would be completely surrounded, and he would not be able to escape if he wanted to.

On the wall, looking at the pieces of Chu State Dragon Flag below, there is also the Phoenix Flag symbolizing the emperor.

The lord general even made a decision to abandon the city and retreat.

At the end of the day, the Jin army lost 30,000 at least, and the main general fled from the West Gate with the remaining less than 90,000 Jin troops, preparing to unite the armies of other cities to resist the Chu army.

Sister Yan didn't expect him to abandon the city so easily, so she couldn't help but shake her head and said, "No wonder the two countries were in alliance back then, and my Chu State also captured the seven cities of the Jin State, and the Jin people were greedy for life and afraid of death, even if it was in the army, this trend was prevalent, how could my Chu State not win, I originally thought that we were slower than the left side, it seems that we can still catch up with them." ”

After sending someone to receive Yangcheng, Sister Yan led the troops to pursue it personally.

In order to lead the Jin army to the battle, he deliberately only brought 50,000 troops first, and 100,000 troops were delayed.

Seeing this, the Jin army thought that Sister Xie Yan did not understand the art of war and was too arrogant, so she turned around and counterattacked, but was beaten by the army of Chu, and then divided into several shares and fought and retreated, and lost 20,000 for a while, and the remaining 70,000 were divided into three shares and fled.

Sister Yan ordered an army of 50,000 to guard Yangcheng, and then went to Qingcheng with an army of 150,000.

Seeing that the Chu army was in hot pursuit, the Ningcheng army was afraid that they would not be able to resist it when they arrived in Qingcheng, so they changed their route and went straight to Yuyang Pass.

The army on the left sent 100,000 troops to Yucheng quickly, and the remaining 70,000 pursued the Ningcheng army.

For a time, the army of the second city of Ningyang fled in a hurry, for fear of being caught up by the Chu army.

The general of Yangcheng thought that it was useless to support the other three cities, and it was better to save his troops, so he even decided to return to Yuyang Pass directly. On the way, I saw 70,000 troops on the left from a distance, and I thought that this was arranged by Xie Meiyan in advance, and I wanted to encircle and suppress them, which made me even more frightened.

Unstable, he chose to flee with an army of 40,000 people, and in this way he missed the opportunity to fight with the Ningcheng army to attack the army on the left side of the Chu State, and was later reduced to a laughing stock.
