Chapter 195: The Final Conspiracy!
After getting enough supplies, Li Yitian and the others enjoyed the treatment of the city lord in the small city for a few days. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWhen other cities in the Northern Chu Kingdom organized troops to come to the crusade, they had already fled away in time, leaving the troops of Northern Chu in a hurry.
The Northern Chu State thought that Long Xiangnan led the army to come, but Mengling City was still not breached. After some confirmation, they learned that a general had come with an army to harass their reinforcements.
The soldiers of the Northern Chu State agreed that as long as Long Xiangnan's troops were repulsed, the harassing enemy army would also be defeated. After all, if only one of them was left behind enemy lines, it would not play any role at all.
With 50,000 troops, it was impossible to cause any damage to the Northern Chu State. Therefore, the role of Li Yitian's army is a little insufficient, after all, 50,000 troops is too little for a country.
After the transfer of 150,000 soldiers again, the Northern Chu State no longer had any soldiers who could be dispatched. In addition to the city guards of each city, not a single soldier can be used.
On this day, when he heard that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, Li Yitian finally opened the secret letter handed to him by Long Xiangnan. At this time they were hiding deep in a mountain, where 50,000 men soon set up camp.
After opening MeSign, Li Yitian quickly browsed it.
"It turns out that General Long's goal is like this, it seems that he has already premeditated!" Li Yitian sighed, he also had to praise Long Xiangnan's overall view, Long Xiangnan almost drove the entire battle situation in this way.
After resting in this camp for a few days, the scouts came to report that the reinforcements of the Northern Chu State had advanced to within 100 miles, and their number this time was still more than 100,000, less than 200,000. The commander who led the troops this time was unknown, and it looked like a slightly younger general with a face.
For the enemy forces that were close at hand, Li Yitian did not take any offensive measures. This made his generals feel very puzzled, but Li Yitian didn't mean to explain. Under Long Xiangnan's instructions, such a practice was also required by Long Xiangnan.
This 150,000-strong enemy army was obviously marching very cautiously, and their commander scattered the scouts everywhere, if Li Yitian organized people to ambush here, they would definitely be discovered by the enemy scouts as soon as possible.
"This young general is not an easy person, and his way of arranging troops is also the essence of the art of war. Silently watching the enemy army pass by, Li Yitian secretly laughed.
Even if these generals of the Northern Chu State were talented, they were only limited to one battle after another, but Long Xiangnan's vision was able to look at the overall situation, and even took into account the pros and cons of the war in the time after the end of the war. This height and depth can be seen at a glance.
Li Yitian had suspected that Long Xiangnan's claim to be an invincible general seemed to be a bit unworthy of his name, but now it seems that he is indeed a far-sighted military wizard.
After letting the army pass by, Li Yitian still led 50,000 soldiers to train in the mountains.
However, the reinforcements of the Northern Chu State had to be cautious along the way, because the troops of the Eastern Tang Dynasty had already invaded their city before. This shows that they have already led their army into the territory of Northern Chu and may attack their reinforcements at any time, so their caution is also very necessary.
However, the enemy army has been holding back, so in the eyes of the Northern Chu generals, their ambush location may be on any place where the Northern Chu army must pass. In this way, they had to be vigilant everywhere, and the speed of the march was slowed down several times.
When the pace of the march slows down, the materials consumed by the army will increase exponentially, and the supply of logistics troops will also bring great pressure. After all, it is impossible for them to be like Li Yitian, who can carry out looting anytime and anywhere. On their own soil, they will not be so exhausted.
During the period when the Northern Chu reinforcements passed, the troops led by Li Yitian had been lurking. Their cavalry had no intention of harassing the other party at all, and even during the period when the enemy army was passing by, Li Yitian's troops did not even go out to plunder, so that the enemy army went straight away safely.
Ten days later, the Northern Chu reinforcements had moved away from Li Yitian's headquarters. At this time, Li Yitian led a team of 50,000 cavalry to quickly occupy the two cities, and after a frenzied raid, the city guards of Northern Chu had to gather together to fight Li Yitian and them, trying to force Li Yitian to lead the army to evacuate the city of Northern Chu.
And Li Yitian also fled away with great interest, and for a period of time they even lost the news of Li Yitian's troops. Li Yitian did hide after looting enough military supplies, and he led the army to quickly shift his position and march towards another place in the Northern Chu State.
A month later, the reinforcements of Northern Chu successfully entered Mengling City. In this way, Mengling City is even more impregnable, and the coach Chu Zhenhai has also returned to Mengling City again, with Chu Zhenhai's sitting, the soldiers in Mengling City also have the backbone, and they are very confident in defending the three armies of Mengling City.
Long Xiangnan didn't care about all these changes, it seemed that he didn't care about the gains and losses of Mengling City at all. During this period of time, the 50,000 cavalry led by Li Yitian did not cause any more trouble, and the Northern Chu army thought that Li Yitian's troops had withdrawn from the hinterland of Northern Chu.
After all, the arrival of Northern Chu reinforcements had caused a certain amount of pressure on Long Xiangnan, and it was impossible for Li Yitian's troops to penetrate into the Northern Chu State to create any substantive purpose. In their opinion, the return of Li Yitian's troops to Mengling City is more deterrent than leading the army outside.
Just when the Northern Chu people were afraid of a dragon to the south, another big battle in the Northern Chu Kingdom shocked everyone's eyes.
The 300,000 troops of the Eastern Tang Dynasty went directly into the hinterland of the Northern Chu State like heavenly soldiers! The 300,000 troops of the Eastern Tang Dynasty pointed directly at Handan City, where the imperial city was located! Handan City, which was only guarded by 30,000 Imperial Forest Army, was surrounded by 300,000 Eastern Tang Dynasty regiments, and under the fierce attacks day and night, the outer city had been destroyed!
The thunderous means of the Eastern Tang army was too fast, as if it came out of thin air, and it caught the Northern Chu State off guard!
The 600,000 Northern Chu troops held on to Mengling City, and held against Long Xiangnan for several months without making an inch. At this time, under the crisis of the imperial city, it was too late for them to come back to help, and when they led the army, they felt that they were afraid that Handan City would have already fallen into the hands of the enemy.
And the 50,000 soldiers led by Li Yitian were also in the queue besieging Handan City at this time. It's just that as a cavalry unit, they did not directly attack the city, but were responsible for attacking the unguarded city everywhere and collecting enough military supplies for the army.
The arrival of the 250,000 troops was all lightly armed, and their food was only enough for half a month. If it weren't for Li Yitian's extremely powerful team to plunder everywhere, I am afraid that these 300,000 troops would only be hungry to attack the city.
The royal family of the Northern Chu State obviously also knew that the enemy's military supplies would definitely not be enough to support them in a protracted war, so they also made up their minds to hold on to the imperial city. But the soldiers were consumed too quickly, and the Northern Chu army's life was changed so that they couldn't resist it at all.
Even if all the adult males in the city were recruited, they could not save this disadvantage, and in just ten days, the non-stop battle day and night had brought down all the living forces in the imperial city!
The Northern Chu royal family collapsed violently, and although the generals who adhered to Mengling City immediately supported Xiang Long, the king of Nanling, as the new emperor, they seemed a little lonely. After the surrender of the Northern Chu royal family, Xiang Long chose the day to ascend the throne of Dabao, changed the year name to the first year of Changlong, and set the capital of Mengling City.
Xiang Long, knowing that the Northern Chu royal family would be defeated, immediately persuaded the 600,000 troops in Mengling City to establish the new emperor. This practice was indeed the most beneficial approach for Northern Chu in this matter, and a large number of courtiers fled and gathered towards Mengling City.
Countless loyal soldiers also gathered and joined the new court. Xiang Long naturally welcomed this very much, and he also let go of his arrogance to restore the lost territory and restore the glory of the Northern Chu Kingdom.
The strength of Mengling City once increased to 700,000, and at this time, the 300,000 troops of the Eastern Tang Dynasty also quickly occupied a large area of Northern Chu City. Xiang Long led his army out of the city to meet Long Xiangnan, but Long Xiangnan fled without a fight.
It turned out that there were only 200,000 people left in Long Xiangnan's camp, and nearly 100,000 of them were soldiers!
The original soldiers of the Eastern Tang Kingdom secretly marched into Northern Chu from the passage of the Sunset Mountain Range, and Long Xiangnan, after involving the 600,000 troops of the Northern Chu army, immediately led the army back to defend the Eastern Tang Dynasty, so that other armies did not dare to move.
The Northern Chu royal family surrendered in a battle, Xiang Long stood on his own, and many other places also had an army swarming and rebelling everywhere to resist the invasion of the Eastern Tang Empire. It seems that the war has just begun!
After the destruction of the Northern Chu royal family, Li Yitian immediately led his army to fight against Qingyun Sect. Because at the last moment, Qingyun Sect broke the rules and brazenly joined the war for the collapse of the dynasty. However, the Eastern Tang Empire, which had long been on guard, had already invited the monks of Tianwumen, and this contest was also a strategy that the Eastern Tang royal family had already discussed with Tianwumen.
As soon as the battle began, a large number of Heavenly Martial Sect monks emerged and swarmed towards the Qingyun Sect!
As Li Yitian, who was bent on destroying the Qingyun Sect, he naturally participated in the battle at the first time. His troops belonged to Commander Long Xiangnan, and at this time, Long Xiangnan was no longer here, and he Li Yitian naturally played freely.
After surrounding the Qingyun Sect, with the help of many monks, the army immediately launched a siege.
At this time, there was a rupture within the Qingyun Sect, and it turned out that the Great Elder who had been reining in his soul all along, he actually got the support of the Supreme Elder. The soul he had captured was also instigated by this Great Elder behind his back, and Qingyunmen was now in the real midst of a struggle for power!
This is a great opportunity to destroy the Qingyun Sect, and Li Yitian naturally will not let go of this opportunity easily! )
