Chapter 509: Stagnation

After listening to Chen Bo's words, Lin Haotian blinked his eyes and said: "Who will inherit the throne in the future, this is not up to Ben Shuai alone, it depends on the meaning of other princes." ”

"I understand this, as long as General Lin guarantees that he will not object in the future. ”

Lin Haotian smiled secretly in his heart, Chen Bo thought everything too well.

Enthronement?The three kingdoms of Yan, Chi, and Xinchi have long regarded You Guo as something in their pockets, so how can they still tolerate others inheriting the throne?

Now, he didn't want to shatter Chen Bo's dream, he just smiled and said pointedly: "General Chen thinks that Ben Shuai's mind is too narrow, if he really wants to choose the heir to the throne of You in the future, Ben Shuai will never interfere. ”

"Then I'm relieved. Chen Bo has nothing to say, Lin Haotian can make such a guarantee, it is already very difficult.

"So, General Chen Ken led his men to surrender?" Lin Haotian looked at him directly.

Chen Bo nodded with a straight face, shook his head again, and said, "It's not a surrender, it's a defection." The reason why I am willing to give up resistance is because the monarch is not willing, and we are willing to cooperate with the alliance of the four countries to establish another master, and that's all. ”

What bullshit is to add a high-sounding headband to your surrender. Lin Haotian sneered in his heart, but his face didn't show it at all, and he praised it repeatedly: "General Chen is worthy of being a person who understands things well, and your decision at this time is a blessing for more than 200,000 You Jun brothers!"

Hearing Lin Haotian's praise, Chen Bo still blushed. Bow your head in shame.

You Guo has always been loyal and strong, but he turned against the enemy and threw himself into the enemy's side, although there are factors of the king's rebellion, but Chen Bo's heart is still very uncomfortable, and he also feels deeply ashamed.

No matter how ashamed Chen Bo was, he finally made the decision to defect. Although his decision shocked You Jun a lot, people were secretly glad in their hearts.

No one is really afraid of death, and You Jun's courage is also directly related to its cruel military rules and discipline, and now his own commander has ordered surrender. They don't have to worry about it anymore. If something really goes wrong in the future, there will naturally be a master to fight it.

More than 200,000 You troops gave up resistance, which allowed the Jin army to avoid a lot of losses.

In fact, just as Chen Bo said, if he really led his subordinates and the Jin army to fight hard. In the end, You Jun may die. But the casualties on the side of the Jin army were also immeasurable.

I heard the news that all the You troops had surrendered. Song Hao hurriedly came to find Lin Haotian, and after meeting, he couldn't wait to ask Lin Haotian what was going on.

The Central Army of Youguo will even surrender. This is a very incredible thing in the hearts of the two of them.

Lin Haotian did not hide it, and roughly told how he persuaded Chen Bo to surrender.

After hearing this, Song Hao suddenly let out a sigh of enlightenment, and then said: "It turns out that You Jun did not surrender, but was deceived by Brother Lin, and it is extremely stupid to follow us to overthrow Nie Xing!"

You can't be smart, otherwise how could you be beaten so badly by Chen Bo! Lin Haotian laughed in his heart, on the surface he was still serious, he said with a straight face: "The matter of dividing up You Guo must not be mentioned to Chen Bo now, once he knows it, he will definitely be our enemy again." ”

Song Hao thought about it, nodded his head, and responded: "What Brother Lin said is reasonable!" Since being rescued by Lin Haotian, Song Hao's attitude towards him can be described as a 180-degree turn, and he even feels that Lin Haotian is more worthy of friendship than Ren Tianxing.

Although the national strength of Jin Guo is not as strong as Yan Guoqiang, at the moment of life and death, Lin Haotian can arrive in time, but Ren Tianxing ignores it, as a person, Lin Haotian is much more reliable than Ren Tianxing.

It is precisely because of this incident that Song Hao's impression of Lin Haotian has changed greatly, and he also intends to get closer to him.

Lin Haotian is not a wood, of course he can feel the change in their attitude towards him, he doesn't want to miss this great opportunity to divide the core position of the Yan Country, and treats Song Hao more politely, without the slightest gesture of saving his life.

Although he did not say a word about aiding the New Red Army, whenever he talked about it, he would deliberately downplay the role of the Jin Army, and instead highlight the heroism of the New Red Army in battle.

This made Song Hao naturally feel great, and he was even more grateful to Lin Haotian for his understanding.

Now, Song Hao and Lin Haotian are getting closer and closer, which is also an unexpected change for Ren Tianxing.

Song Hao's eyes rolled, and he suggested to Lin Haotian: "Brother Lin, I always feel that leaving Chen Bo is a hidden danger, should we ...... him" As he spoke, his palm made a horizontal cut in the air, meaning to get rid of Chen Bo.

Lin Haotian nodded with a smile and said, "Actually, I also have this intention, but after thinking about it carefully, I feel a pity." Now leaving Chen Bo still has a role, he is bent on pulling Nie Xing off the throne and pushing the crown prince Nie Dan to succeed to the throne, why don't we come up with a plan and use Chen Bo's prestige and status in the court of You Guo to attract more You troops to turn to our side, so that our advance to Huaiyang can be twice the result with half the effort, and it can also greatly reduce the casualties of our soldiers. ”

When Song Hao heard this, he felt quite sudden, no wonder the Jin army was able to win in Youguo, not only because the Jin army was brave, but Lin Haotian's foresight was also really powerful. He admired it from the bottom of his heart, and said in unison: "In the opinion of Brother Yilin!"

After the more than 200,000 You troops led by Chen Bo defected, they were not disarmed, nor were they absorbed or imprisoned by the Jin and Xin-Chi coalition forces, but continued to use the original formation to fight, but the object of the battle had changed from the four-nation coalition army to a force loyal to Nie Xing.

With Chen Bo's defection, Song Hao suddenly found that fighting with Lin Haotian did not seem to be as terrible as he imagined, and the two discussed in private and decided not to stay in the rear to do logistics anymore, and to fight side by side with the Jin army.

If he had made such a request before, Lin Haotian would have suspected Song Hao's ill intentions, and it would have been impossible for him to leave the New Red Army in the way of him, but now he has the intention of wooing. followed Song Hao's wishes and agreed to the request of the two.

Now, Lin Haotian's side has become the Three Kingdoms Alliance, with the Jin Army, the New Red Army, and the You Army that has just taken refuge. Such a strange and deformed combination is really incredible.

Even Chen Bo had to admire Lin Haotian, I am afraid that only he could knead together so many armies of the enemy and us for his own use.

The total strength of the Triple Alliance is 800,000 strong, and logistics supply is a big problem. However, in the battle with the You army, the new Red Army suffered heavy casualties and needed to be filled. It is just right to use the recruits who are being filled in the country to escort the supplies over.

As Lin Haotian had predicted before. With Chen Bo's living signboard on his side, he really made the advance of the coalition army twice the result with half the effort.

After the Triple Alliance Army entered Guping County, it basically did not take much effort to occupy the entire territory of Guping County. One. The defenders of Gupyeong County are indeed limited in number. The city defenses are also vulnerable. Second, Chen Bo's persuasion played a crucial role.

For You Ren, even if Jin Jun said it wildly. But after all, they are enemy troops, and people reject them in their hearts, but Chen Bo is not, he is a dignified general, a hereditary and noble Marquis of Guoxing, he accused Nie Xing of being rebellious and self-defeating in front of Youren, not only will it not cause Youren's disgust, but the computer interview also makes You people feel that he is reasonable, although he does not like to listen, but he is also loyal to the ear.

The reason why Chen Bo vigorously persuaded You Ren to defect was actually more or less to make up for the guilt in his heart. If he is just one person who defects, he is undoubtedly a sinner of You Guo who is pointed out by Qianfu, but if everyone turns against Nie Xing, then what he does is to conform to the will of the people, and it is a righteous act of abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, not only is he not a sinner of You Guo, but he will also be a hero of You Guo.

Lin Haotian's side is progressing smoothly, after taking Guping County, he will immediately advance to Xiangshan County and Longhu County, as long as he takes these two more counties, he can directly take Huaiyang.

On the other side, the Yan-Chi coalition army took a lot of effort to defeat Xinfeng County, and after continuing to advance westward and entering Shima County, the Yan-Chi coalition army encountered a strong enemy, the second batch of You Central Army from Huaiyang, and the 400,000 You Army led by the general Tian Yu.

The two sides fought a decisive battle in the area of Jitou Mountain in Shima County, which was a head-on collision with no opportunistic tricks, and it was also the first encounter between the regular Central Army after the break between the two countries.

The Yan-Chi coalition army is fighting deep into the enemy country, so this battle can only be successful, not defeated, once defeated, the whole army will be in a desperate situation, and there is no place to bury.

And You Jun hated the treacherous Yan State, and also wanted to defeat the Yan Army on the battlefield and avenge the betrayal of Yan State.

It can be said that in the battle, both sides exerted 120 points of strength, and both wanted to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop and achieve a complete victory.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the Yan-Chi coalition army moved out all the large attack weapons that could come in handy, which made up for the lack of combat strength of the two armies to the greatest extent, and the soldiers of the You army also showed a brave and good fighting side, almost completely ignoring the large weapons in the place, and desperately rushed forward to kill.

In the fierce battle, there were countless dead and wounded, especially in the center of the battle between the two sides, the Yan-Chi coalition army and the You army could not advance half a step, here is like a giant meat grinder, the corpses of the soldiers on both sides are stacked on top of each other, and they have already piled up into a mountain.

The people climbed up with difficulty by stepping on the corpses, and then fell down with blood sprayed, while the soldiers behind repeated the footsteps of the brothers in front of them countless times.

The battle lasted all day, and the final truce was not because of heavy casualties on both sides, but because there were so many corpses in the center of the battlefield that the soldiers on both sides were already struggling, so they were forced to withdraw their troops and stop fighting.

In the gap of the armistice, both sides sent corpse collection teams to collect the bodies of their own fallen soldiers, and the two sides were busy all night just to collect the corpses.

When it was dawn the next day, the soldiers on both sides invariably opened their postures, lined up in battle formations, and continued to engage in a frontal decisive battle.

This is almost exactly the same as the scene of the previous day, it is completely a war of attrition where you die 800 and I lose 1,000, this kind of battle is a competition of will, to see who can persevere more, but no matter who wins or loses in the end, there will be no real winner.

At this point in the battle, both sides are riding tigers and arrows are ready to fly, even if they know that there is no benefit in consuming it, but no one can retreat.

It was not the two sides themselves that changed the tide of the battle between the two sides, but a local army of Youguo that suddenly arrived. This local army did not have many troops. It was only close to 50,000 men, but for the hard-fought Yan-Chi coalition army, the blow was fatal.

With the arrival of the local army of Youguo, the morale of the Yan-Chi coalition army began to collapse rapidly, and the fighting spirit became weaker and weaker.

There is a local army that can rush to reinforce, then it is likely that there will be a second, third or even more local army in the future, this is not a head, even if you can kill all the central army in front of you now, but in the end you still can't win this battle, because the other side has countless reinforcements. And they are fighting alone.

Both sides fought to this extent. As soon as the spirit of the Yan-Chi coalition army was released, the situation on the battlefield immediately changed, and the officers and men of the two armies gradually could not resist the fierce attack of the You army. Began to retreat.

For the Yan-Chi coalition army. Large weapons in the rear are the most powerful support for the combat power of the whole army. However, the soldiers in front retreated one after another, and immediately exposed the large weapons in the rear to the attack of the You army, and lost the support of the large weapons. The Yan-Chi coalition army was defeated faster, and then more large weapons were directly attacked by the You army, which was a vicious circle.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, and this is just right for the Yan-Chi coalition army.

Soon, the Yan-Chi coalition army changed from a slow defeat to a total rout, and a large number of soldiers gave up fighting and fled backwards like a tide.

Seeing this, Ren Tianxing and Xuanyuan Fang dared to fight again, so they hurriedly ordered the whole army to withdraw their troops and retreat to their own camp.

Most of the large weapons thrown into the battlefield were destroyed or fell into the hands of the You army, and the remnants of the Yan-Chi coalition army fled all the way back to their own camp, closed the camp gate, and defended the camp.

In this head-to-head confrontation between the Yan-Chi coalition army and the You army, the losses of both sides were actually roughly equal, the casualties of the Yan-Chi army were about 100,000, and the casualties of the You army were also more than 100,000.

However, in terms of morale, the You army has taken the initiative, and more and more local troops are rushing over to reinforce it, on the other hand, the Yan-Chi coalition army, the morale of the soldiers is low, and they have begun to lack confidence in the current war.

When the Yan-Chi coalition army was holding the camp, the You army quickly assembled outside the camp, and the central army and the local army that rushed to it quickly recovered to 400,000 troops, and then began to attack the large camp of the Yan-Chi coalition army.

In face-to-face hand-to-hand combat, the Yan-Chi coalition army can't fight the You army, but now it's fighting a defensive war, with the walled wall to rely on, and the disadvantages of the Yan-Chi coalition army have been redeemed a lot, even if it is as fierce as the You army, it is difficult to break through the defense line of the Yan-Chi coalition army.

In the end, Tian Yu, the commander of the You army, decisively changed his tactics, gave up the strong attack, and stationed himself outside the camp of the Yan-Chi coalition army, and the two sides entered the confrontation stage from the fierce battle stage.

The delay between the two sides lasted for five days, and the supplies of the You army were sent by people from various counties and counties to deliver one after another, but the logistics of the Yan-Chi coalition army seemed to be cut off, not to mention that they had not received the baggage that had been filled, and even the military rations had not been harvested.

It is not surprising that the Yan-Chi coalition army did not receive supplies, the new Red Army, which was originally responsible for logistics, has now followed Lin Haotian to the front battlefield, and Song Hao did not ask his subordinates to deliver supplies to the Yan-Chi coalition army.

Song Hao is not a broad-minded person, in the eyes of the two of them, since you were able to abandon me at the beginning, why should I take care of you now? If you want supplies, you can find a way to get them yourself, don't count on us anymore.

The recruits filled by the New Red Army escorted the baggage and supplies, and went directly to the camp of the Three Kingdoms Coalition led by the Jin Army, ignoring the side of the Yan-Chi Coalition Army at all.

At this time, there is a large army of You Guo in front of the Yan-Chi coalition army, and their own grain and grass have not been landed for a long time, the current situation is becoming more and more critical, even if the You army does not implement a comprehensive encirclement of their camp, but the Yan-Chi coalition army does not dare to leave the camp rashly.

There are hundreds of thousands of You troops stationed on the way forward, and they can't get through it no matter what, and if they retreat, they are worried that they will be chased and killed by the You army, and then there is no camp to rely on, and they only rely on their own combat strength, how to compete with the You army?

But it is not a way to stay in the camp and hold on, after all, the food and grass they bring are limited, and there will always be a day when they run out, and when the whole army runs out of food, it will be completely hopeless.

After discussion, Ren Tianxing and Xuanyuan Fang could only be cheeky to ask Jin and Xinchi for help, and asked Lin Haotian and Song Hao to divide their troops to help, even if they couldn't divide their troops, they would try to transport supplies over first.

Of course, Ren Tianxing and Xuanyuan Fang were not stupid enough to put all their bets on Jin and Xinchi, and at the same time issued an order to their own legions temporarily stationed in Anguo.

According to the original agreement, the number of troops sent by each country was 400,000, of which 200,000 were used as the first team to attack, and the other 200,000 were stationed in Angola as backup.

Due to the precarious situation of the Yan-Chi coalition army, Ren Tianxing and Xuanyuan Fang could only urgently transfer their own legions stationed in Anguo for the sake of safety, so as to meet the needs from time to time.

The current Four Kingdoms Expedition Alliance, there are three countries that have transferred all the 400,000 troops previously prepared to the territory of You, first the New Red Kingdom, followed by the Yan and Red Kingdoms, but the Jin Kingdom, which has been charging in front, just did not fight a hard battle with the You Army, and the strength of the troops remained at its peak, and did not mobilize backups.

As for Lin Haotian's side, after receiving the transmission from Ren Tianxing and Xuanyuan Fang, the commanders of the three armies immediately gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, they had successfully entered Xiangshan County. (To be continued......)
