Chapter 260: The Four Armies Strike Together

Knowing that Sima Changren was at Yuemen Pass, Yin Liang led the generals back to the camp to discuss countermeasures, and finally Xuanyuan Fang gave him an idea, asking Mingquan to go to the camp of the First Army to find Bi Wu to help, and the two armies joined forces to break the pass.

Yin Liang felt that Xuanyuan Fang's idea was good, and immediately went to Bi Wu.

After listening to the other party's intention, Bi Wu smiled secretly in his heart, when he entered Jiashang County, he helped the Red Army to connect two cities, but at that time, Yin Liang was not only grateful, but also sarcastic, now that he has a hard bone and cheekiness to find himself, how can he help him?

Bi Wu politely rejected Yin Liang's request on the excuse that the whole army was tired from the long journey, but in order to let Yin Liang come down to the stage, he immediately came up with a plan for Mingquan, which was to supply the Broken Moon Gate.

The Yuemen Pass is built on the mountain, and the materials such as grain, grass, water, weapons, rolling wood and stones must be supplied by logistics, as long as the supply of the Yuemen Pass is cut off, even if the number of wooden troops in the pass is large, it will be dead in the end.

What he said was the Tao, but there was a supplement in his heart that he did not say, now the commander of the Yuemen Pass is Sima Changren, with Sima Changren's strategy, he would not have thought that the Red Army would adopt the tactics of cutting off its supply, and it must be guarded against, as for whether the Red Army can break the defense of the Mu Army, whether it can successfully cut off the supply of the Yuemen Pass, it depends on the ability of the Red Army.

Bi Wu is not a wooden man, nor is he a Red Army, so naturally he will not explain too much detail to Mingquan, and only proposes the tactics of logistics and supply at the Broken Moon Gate, how to do it, it is the matter of the Red Army.

The two armies of Chimu gathered a large army on the side of Yuemen Pass in Jiashang County, fighting wits and courage, not mentioning it for the time being, and talking about the Jin army camp in Jiangxi.

The 200,000 Central Army in Xiangyang went to the south of Muguo and fought fiercely with the Red Army, and Lin Haotian also began to actively prepare for the westward advance.

Right now. The new recruits in the country of Jin are empty, and it is impossible to count on reinforcements, Lin Haotian can only rely on the current strength to take the wooden capital Xiangyang, the only thing to be thankful for is that the third army and the fourth army are expanding quickly. It was not as difficult as imagined for the people of the Wood Kingdom to join the Jin Army.

On this day, early in the morning, Lin Haotian gave an order to gather all the soldiers of the army, set up camp and march into Wangfeng County.

At Chu Lianyu's suggestion, Lin Haotian also specially held a big sacrifice to the sky and the earth, he didn't believe this, but the soldiers below did. In order to appease people's hearts, Lin Haotian could only be patient, killing cattle and chickens, sacrificing heaven and earth, worshipping ancestors, and sacrificing military flags.

After the memorial service, the Third Army, the Fourth Army, and the Fifth Army Corps set off, and an army of nearly 300,000 entered Wangfeng County.

Along the way, all the checkpoints of the wooden army were empty, and it was learned that the main force of the Jin army had invaded. The scattered wooden soldiers have been withdrawn, and it can be seen. Cao Xiong didn't want the soldiers below to sacrifice senselessly.

Two days later, the Jin army did not use a knife or a shot, and occupied Sifang City unhindered, of course, Sifang City was already an empty city.

This was the third time that the Jin army had captured Sifang City, especially the Third Army. On the day of the occupation of the city, the soldiers of the Third Legion came to Dou Bo one after another, asking him to propose to the Lord to burn down the Sifang City. Let this ominous place disappear forever.

Dou Bo couldn't laugh or cry at the proposal of the generals below, and only said: "Nonsense!" and there was no follow-up.

The Jin army was temporarily stationed in Sifang City, and the spies of the Jin army sent out earlier returned one after another like a marquee, reporting the movements of the Mu army to Lin Haotian.

Now that all the wooden troops in Wangfeng County are cowering in Ningyang, the county capital, it seems that Cao Xiong is ready to defend Ningyang.

Lin Haotian sneered at this, since Cao Xiong wants to defend Ningyang to the death, let him guard it well, and see if he can defend Ningyang under the iron hooves of his own army!

He did not waste time, waved his army and continued to march westward, directly taking Ningyang.

Now, the whole city of Ningyang has been closed, and in addition to a large number of defenders, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city.

The wooden army has worked hard in the defense of Ningyang, that is, there is an outer defense line, and an internal defense line, the inner defense line is the city defense of Ningyang itself, and the outer defense line is the three towns and one fortress on the periphery of Ningyang.

These four places formed a semi-arc-shaped protective shield on the periphery of Ningyang, and if the Jin army wanted to attack Ningyang, it had to capture these four key points first.

The Jin army set up camp about five miles away from the three towns and one fortress, but the camp was very simple, and even the Chinese army tent was only surrounded by canvas.

Now the Chinese army tent is very lively, Dou Bo, Lu Kai, Zhang Bufan, Gu Liangyun, Shao Lin and other veteran generals and Ling Hugao, Song Yu, Jin Cheng and other new generals are all there, and a simple sand table is arranged on the ground, people gather around, discuss the deployment of the attack with each other, the Jin army probe in and out, and the enemy's intelligence is continuously transmitted to Lin Haotian.

After confirming the general situation of the enemy army, Lin Haotian stood up, walked to the sand table, looked down at the layout of the sand table, and was silent.

Seeing the adults coming, people stopped talking one after another, and their eyes fell on him alone.

After waiting for a while, Lin Hao Tianfang said slowly: "The three towns of Shanliu, Guxue, Jingyi and that fortress on the periphery of Ningyang, there are only more than 10,000 people stationed in total, there are only more than 10,000 people stationed in the wooden army, there is nothing to be afraid of, our army can easily win by attacking head-on, what does the rank general mean?"

Before others could speak, Zhang Bufan stepped forward and said, "My lord, the last general is willing to take the lead!"

"En!" Lin Haotian nodded, bent down, and drew an arc in the sand table according to the position of the three towns and one fortress, and then said: "If we want to fight, we will first hit the top of its arc, Shanliu Town, which is the closest to our army." Extraordinary, I will give you 20,000 soldiers, and send General Jin Cheng as your deputy general, within two hours, I will see the banner of our army standing in the center of Shanliu Town!"

Zhang Bufan intervened to receive the order, and then looked at Jin Cheng, who also received the order, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said: "My lord, in just one town, one general is enough, and there is no need for a deputy general!"

Of course, Lin Haotian knew how powerful Zhang Bufan was, and the reason why he sent Zhang Shun was to cheer him up.

Lin Haotian didn't say anything, but in his heart, since Zhou Hai died in battle, Jin Cheng's mood has been very low, undoubtedly taking the responsibility for Zhou Hai's death on himself, it is not easy to get a good general, Lin Haotian doesn't want him to be depressed, let him go to war with Zhang Bufan, and also want to restore his fighting spirit.

He glanced at Zhang Bufan, and said, "I have made up my mind, don't say more, do what you order, go quickly!"

"Yes, my lord!" Lin Haotian said in a resolute tone, there was no room for maneuver, Zhang Bufan stopped talking nonsense, and strode out of the Chinese military tent.

When he got outside, he didn't look back and said to Jin Cheng who was following behind him: "I lead the troops quickly, you have to keep up, if you lose it, then you can't blame me, and when you get to the battlefield, I just kill the enemy, but I don't have time to take care of you, if there is danger, you can shout a few times, maybe I heard it, maybe I can turn back and save you." ”

When Jin Cheng heard this, he almost laughed angrily, everyone said that Zhang Bufan was arrogant, but he was too crazy, and the adults sent himself to be his lieutenant, not his oil tank.

Jin Cheng shook his head secretly, if others said so, he would have turned his face a long time ago, but Zhang Bufan was different, after the last battle in Yucheng, Zhang Bufan almost became the idol and god of war worshiped by all the generals of the army, Jin Cheng was only one of them, he could fight side by side with Zhang Bufan, he was excited in his heart, and he could only endure two sentences of loss.

He said in a low voice: "Yes, the last general will take care of himself, and he will not dare to bother General Zhang!"

"Hmph!" Zhang Bufan didn't say anything more.

He knew that Jin Cheng was a new general recruited by Na Wu Ling, and he looked down on this kind of general who climbed up not by military merit but by competition, and he didn't think he could do much.

As soon as Zhang Bufan and Jin Cheng left, Lin Haotian ordered again: "Song Yu and Yang Xiu listen to the order!"

"The last general!"

"I'll give you two 20,000 soldiers to attack Jingyi Town at the end of the arc, and within two hours, kill all the people in the town, there must be no mistake!"

"The last general obeys!"

Song Yu and Yang Xiu took the order and left.

Then, Lin Haotian said again: "White phosphorus, Wu Tao obey the order!"

"The last general!"

"The two of you also led 20,000 soldiers to level the fortress at the end of the arc on the other side, what should you do, I don't need to say more, right?"

"The last general understands that within two hours, the fortress will be captured!"

"Yes!

Lin Haotian issued three military orders in a row, and sent an army of 60,000 troops on three routes to divide the three defensive strongholds of Shanliu, Jingyi and other wooden army fortresses.

Then, he personally led the rest of the army to attack Guxue Town. (To be continued......)
