Chapter 668: To Send or Not to Send Troops?
In the Mingning City in front of Lin Si, an army of 400,000 Shenyan had already gathered at this time. "Words * love * first * hair [dashubao read the novel update fast no pop-up]
The battle has reached this point, and it is impossible for the Shenyan people of the Seventh Army of Lianke to be so stupid to let them break each other.
Of course, if Kong Sheng hadn't anticipated this result and gave up attacking the cities west of Mingning and east of Baoxin in advance, I'm afraid that this Mingning City would not be able to mobilize so many troops now.
After all, there is no advance arrangement from the superiors for the mobilization of military horses in various cities, and the commanders of the military horses below do not say whether they have this awareness, and even if they do, it is difficult to coordinate.
Lin Si's original plan was to continue to advance, and it was impossible for the hundreds of thousands of Shenyan troops in Mingning City to resist the Long Yan army at hand.
It was likely that he would have taken advantage of the situation, and then the other six small and medium-sized cities to the west could also be captured in one fell swoop.
The men and horses in his hands are already unprecedentedly powerful.
There is another Heavenly Realm master Qi Jing from Bilan in the team, and in addition, there are already more than 50 people in the Breaking Realm, and there are no less than 1,000 people in the Extreme Realm, with a total strength of more than 300,000.
But there was no way, and now he had to stop and keep going.
Because the Shenyan army in Mingning City ahead is more numerous than them, and the masters are stronger than them.
Among the 400,000 Shenyan army in the city, there were three people in the Heavenly Realm, and as many as seventy people broke through the Realm.
After learning the number of troops of the other party, Lin Si still carried out the first siege, but soon had to temporarily retreat.
This retreat is actually deliberate.
Even if Lin Si had the means to tear off the protective shield, he couldn't kill him in the city at all, because the Shenyan army defending the city was stronger than them, and relying on the fortifications on the head of the city, he was only looking for death when he attacked it.
To the east of Mingning City are heavy mountains and forests, Lin Si originally dug many traps in the mountains and forests in advance, and made many arrangements, intending to lure the enemy deep and lead the enemy out of the city to chase and kill them.
Once in the forest, his arrangement can be of great use.
When the time comes, there is a mental calculation and unintentional. The Long Yan army turned around and covered up on all sides, and could even annihilate a large number of the enemy's vanguard troops in the mountains and forests outside the city.
However, his plan ultimately fell through.
The defenders in the city did not succeed, and Shenyan's main general, Lou Hai, was very calm and made a stubborn posture from the beginning.
He didn't seem to have any intention of annihilating the 300,000 Long Yan army in front of him now, but blocked them east of Mingning City and finished the matter.
For a while, everyone became helpless.
There is a considerable gap in the strength of the two sides. They are no match at all. And the other party didn't act rashly at all, which made them unimaginable for a while.
And five thousand miles to the east. The more than 300,000 troops led by Jiang Rong and Mu Zheping also encountered the same situation.
In the Baoxin City to the east, an army of 370,000 Shenyan was also gathered, like an iron gate blocking in front of them.
Whether it is Mingning City or Baoxin City, they are both large cities comparable to Kuning City Yiping City, and if the other party refuses to defend the city, they will not be able to attack it at all.
Instead, behind them were only the mountains and forests and the small cities they had laid before.
Once the opponent stabilizes the situation and makes a big counterattack, they will be killed all the way back by the opponent.
For a time, the four armies on the east and west sides formed a confrontation situation.
If it is said that the army of Kuning City repelled the army of Shenyan and captured Yiping City. It's just a loophole and a nail is buried in the back. Now that they have broken through several cities in a row and gathered two armies, they can no longer be ignored.
The two Dragon Yan armies had grown up unconsciously, and the situation of the Shenyan Empire on the mid-lane front had become no longer clear.
However, Shen Yan was not alarmed by this.
This qiē was expected by Kong Sheng, and now there are two battlefields. They all have a clear advantage in terms of divine flames. Sooner or later, these two armies in Kunin City will be wiped out, and they will not be able to change the overall situation after all.
But in Long Yan's view, this is not the case at all.
The news quickly spread back to the rear of Longyan, and the people were naturally jubilant, and the defenders of Kuning City had gradually become a miracle army in the hearts of many Longyan people.
Not only did he win a few battles at the beginning, but he also won a series of battles later. It has injected strong vitality into a decadent situation. People are all looking forward to them to create a greater miracle again.
However, they didn't know that the actual commanders of these two Longyan armies were Lin Si and Mu Zheping, and they didn't know that these two armies were actually fake military orders and made their own claims.
Yan Gaoyang couldn't laugh anymore.
Although due to the sudden rise of the defenders of Kunin City, the originally unfavorable situation in the middle has been greatly improved.
And because of the activity of Lin Mu and the others, Shen Yan had to temporarily give up the attack on many surrounding cities in order to exterminate these two Dragon Yan armies. This invisibly also greatly reduced the pressure on him, the commander-in-chief of the Longyan Middle Road Front.
Many of the middle and lower rank officers around him, as well as ordinary non-commissioned officers. Recently, the morale has become much higher because of the good news on the front.
But he couldn't be happy.
Because these victories were not achieved under his command.
When he first learned that the Kuning City army had recovered the cities, he did pass down an order to let the cities cooperate with Jiang Rong and the others.
But don't forget, he asked Jiang Rong and others to recover the lost territory at that time.
Jiang Rong, Sha Chengyun and others, under the leadership of Mu Zheping and Lin Si, did not continue to regain any lost territory, but instead attacked the front line, and even took away a large number of defenders from the cities on the front line.
This qiē did not match his previous predictions.
Forget it, these key military operations, Jiang Rong, Sha Chengyun and others did not report to him as the commander-in-chief at all beforehand.
Jiang Rong did not report in advance, and acted after getting his approval, the reason is very simple, the timing waits for no one, and they can't afford to delay this back and forth request for instructions.
But this is not what Yan Gaoyang needs to consider, if the generals who lead the troops below are as assertive as Jiang Rong, then what is the significance of him as the commander-in-chief
Everyone is making their own decisions, and the bottom is going to be a mess
It's just not taking him seriously at all.
In particular, the actual commanders of these two armies turned out to be Lin Si and Mu Zheping, two outsiders
This inside story, the people of Long Yan and the Shenyan side are not even clear, after all, no one is going to publicize it, but he, the commander-in-chief of the middle lane of Long Yan, cannot also be kept in the dark.
When he learned this, he was even more furious in his heart.
How could Long Yan's army be handed over to outsiders like this, don't you know that the army is a sharp weapon of the country
However, he did not express this thought in the military meeting in front of him.
In any case, the current good shape shì was single-handedly created by Lin Simu Zheping and Jiang Rong and others. Now the people of Quanlongyan regard the people of Kuning City as heroes to save the country, and their limelight is unmatched for a while, if he jumps out and sings the opposite tune at this time
These generals and masters in front of him won't say anything, but once it spreads, the second prince of Longyan will immediately become a narrow-minded, short-sighted person who doesn't care about the overall situation in the eyes of the people of the whole country.
This is extremely detrimental to his future.
On the other hand, the victory of Lin Si and the others was indeed what he desperately needed, and he had long been overwhelmed by the Shenyan army.
Many people in the audience were discussing the two armies enthusiastically.
In addition to the continuous admiration, there is also a discussion of the next steps.
"We should support them, the situation of those two armies is very unfavorable at the moment. "The person who spoke was Qiu Yu, the general of Longyan Zhenbei, and his father was Qiu Wencheng, the leader of the Longyan Kingdom in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm during the Battle of the Holy Mountain last year.
Qiu Wencheng is not here at the moment, but Qiu Yu himself cannot be ignored either.
Now 40 years old, he has been in the army for 25 years and has made many military achievements. And he had been stationed in the north of Longyan before, and he had experienced the whole process of this war that lasted for more than half a year.
His prestige in the army was quite high, and as soon as he spoke, he was immediately echoed by many people.
"Yes, if there is no one to support them, the gains they have won before may be wasted. Huya General He Yang also agreed.
He and Qiu Yu have been colleagues for more than ten years, so they are naturally the first to support him.
"Yes, someone must be sent to deal with them. They hadn't encountered a large force of the enemy before, so they were able to have a smooth ride."
For a while, everyone asked for battle.
Yan Gaoyang's face remained unchanged, but he was secretly angry in his heart.
Although this national war, they are united when they come together. But before the war, Qiu Yu was not in his camp.
He and his father Qiu Wencheng are both from Yan Gaoyang's eldest brother Yan Keli's camp.
Yan Kaili was good at political affairs and was not good at leading troops, so he was not sent to the front line in this battle, but stayed in the rear. As for Yan Gaoyang, he had ten years of experience in the army before, so Qiu Yu and the others would obey his orders now.
The current King Longyan is young and strong, and has not yet set up a crown prince, but in the eyes of many ministers, it is a matter of course that the eldest prince Yan Keli, who is generous and loves the people, will succeed to the throne in the future.
However, it doesn't mean that Yan Gaoyang has no one to support him, after all, he is the second prince, and he always has a chance before the next throne is sitting.
Of course, he also has supporters and confidants, and now that he is the commander-in-chief of the middle front, there is naturally no shortage of these people at this meeting.
There was no need for him to make a hint in his eyes, and someone immediately jumped out to refute Qiu Yu.
"You are talking lightly, send reinforcements to deal with them, the question is where do we get our soldiers," Tao Ming, the general of the light car, snorted coldly.
General An Yuan Shang Yi said quietly: "Since the start of the war, where is not the shape of the shì tight, now there is no army to send, once the rest of the soldiers and horses are transferred, they are taken advantage of by the Shenyan people, causing a rout on the whole front, can you afford this guilt Don't forget, thousands of miles behind us is the national capital"
Their words immediately attracted angry glances from He Yang and the others.
Without waiting for everyone to speak, Qiu Yu waved his hand to stop them.
He looked around at the crowd and then said in a deep voice, "We have soldiers."
"Where did the soldiers come from," Guan Rui, the general of Pingnan, glanced at him.
"Where did the hundreds of thousands of Shenyan armies in Mingning City and Baoxin City come from," Qiu Yu asked rhetorically. To be continued.
