Chapter 357: Differentiation and Disintegration

The southwest battlefield of the Jin Kingdom.

The attack on Jiangyang by the You Yan coalition army was blocked, the generals were lost in succession, and the morale was low, and the most important thing was that the two logistics bases were successfully attacked by the Jin army one after another, so that the army of more than 600,000 people lost supplies.

Ren Tianxing, the commander-in-chief of the coalition army, ordered to throw stone bullets day and night with a stone thrower, which was bound to smash the outer city of Jiangyang and clear the obstacles for the siege of his own army. Ren Tianxing knew very well that he and the Jin army couldn't afford to drag it out, and the grain and grass in the barracks were not sufficient, if he waited for the domestic grain and grass to come over, it would take at least a month or two, where could the army hold out for so long?

Now we must fight quickly and take Jiangyang as soon as possible.

However, the You Yan coalition army smashed the houses in the outer city of Jiangyang with a stone thrower, which was not so smooth.

During the day, the Jin army did not dare to take action, but at night, the demon warriors led by Shao Lin sneaked out of the city one after another, sneaking up on the heavy stone throwers of the Yan Kingdom and causing trouble for the other party.

In the dark night, the demon warrior is haunted, too weird, unguardable, Yanguo's heavy stone thrower is frequently damaged, the most reluctant, Ren Tianxing can only give up the use of the stone thrower at night, only use it during the day, so that the destruction of the outer city of Jiangyang has become much slower.

Ren Tianxing knew in his heart that it was definitely not a way to go on like this, but how to break Jiangyang, he couldn't think of a very good way for a while.

On this day, Ren Tianxing was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, studying the topographic map of Jiangyang, the more he looked at it, the more upset he felt, he folded the map, slapped it hard, and then asked Jin Zhuo on the side: "Is there any news from General Nie Lin?"

Jin Zhuo smiled and replied: "A few days ago, the You army happened to receive a reply from General Nie Lin, saying that the army had captured Liancheng and was preparing to march towards Hecheng. Extrapolated over time. If the march goes well, General Nie Lin should have entered Hecheng by now, and is resting and preparing to attack Jindu Wancheng. ”

"Really?" Nie Lin was only 150,000 people on his side, but the battle was fought so smoothly that it was like a bamboo. And there are more than 600,000 troops on their side, but they are blocked by the small Jiangyang, and they can't advance or retreat. It seems that it is necessary for me to take a good look at myself!

Ren Tianxing sighed secretly in his heart, rolled his eyes, and muttered: "If Hecheng is broken, Wancheng will be in danger, Lin Haotian, as the commander of the Jin State, should get the news as soon as possible." But looking at the Jin army in Jiangyang City, it is very calm, not like the capital is about to fall. ”

Jin Zhuo suspected: "Maybe the Jin army is pretending to be calm, and the Jin army must also understand that when they return to the capital to rescue, they will inevitably be pursued and killed by our army, and they will also lead the main force of our army to the side of Wancheng, which will be even more unfavorable to the Jin country." ”

It is not for nothing that he says this. But Ren Tianxing always felt that things were not so simple, and Jin Jun behaved too smoothly. There is no urgency in the capital at all, and it is also a fact that Nie Lin has won successive battles in the central and southern areas of the Jin Kingdom, and even broke the Sixth Army of the Jin Kingdom......

Ren Tianxing rubbed his aching forehead, Jin Jun's performance at this time can only be described as confusing and unbelievable.

Panicking in his heart, Ren Tianxing didn't want to be in the Zhongjun tent anymore, so he stood up. said: "Let's go out for a walk." ”

"Yes, General!" Jin Zhuo followed Ren Tianxing out of the Chinese military tent and wandered around the camp.

As he walked, Jin Zhuobian asked puzzledly: "General, why does our army have to smash the outer city of Jiangyang and then attack the city? Even if there are obstacles, if our side attacks the city with all its might. There is also the possibility of taking Jiangyang. ”

"There are many obstacles, there is a big threat, and there will be a lot of casualties. Ren Tianxing turned his head, looked at Jin Zhuo, and said quietly: "The king is ambitious, which means that there will be many battles in our country in the future. ”

Jin Zhuo inhaled, looked left and right, and asked in a low voice, "After the gold cut, our army will fight again?"

"Hehe!" Ren Tianxing chuckled lightly and did not speak again.

The king was in such a hurry to capture the Jin Kingdom, not simply looking at the boundaries of the Jin Kingdom, but to unify the Abyss Continent. At that time, the two kingdoms of You and Chi will definitely be unconvinced, and there will be many battles to be fought! However, these words cannot be said, and Ren Tianxing can only dare to think about it in his heart.

Seeing that Ren Tianxing's smile had a deep meaning, Jin Zhuo scratched his hair, not understanding what he meant.

Jin Zhuo is an excellent general, but he is not like Ren Tianxing, and he is also an excellent politician.

When Ren Tian walked to a tent, he suddenly stopped and stood there listening to something.

Jin Zhuo stepped forward and listened carefully.

There was a rough complaining voice in the camp: "I think, the general is too persistent, his brain can't turn, Jiangyang is not easy to fight, don't fight, look at the people You Jun, find another way, it is said that they have already fought all the way to Wancheng......"

Hearing this, Jin Zhuo's face changed, and he secretly said boldly! He dared to reprimand the general, and this was worth it? Thinking about it, he clenched his sword and made a gesture to break into the camp tent.

Ren Tianxing reached out and grabbed his wrist while shaking his head slightly at him.

Jin Zhuo thought that Ren Tianxing would be annoyed, but he didn't expect him to look thoughtful at this time. His heart moved, and he asked in a low voice: "The general doesn't really want to attack Wancheng, right?" Now there is a shortage of food and grass in the army, and hundreds of thousands of troops are afraid that they will have to run out of food before they reach Wancheng.

Of course, Ren Tianxing would not be stupid enough to attack Wancheng, but the complaints of the camp sergeants were right, and it also reminded him that why did he have to entangle with the Jin army in Jiangyang? There are three cities around Jiangyang: Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng, as long as you send troops to capture these three cities, Jiangyang will become an isolated and helpless dangerous city, and you can trap the Jin army inside, and in addition, there is another advantage to capturing the three cities of Songqiu, Ningding, and Taifeng, which can solve the problem of food and grass for your own army. He can completely follow the example of Nie Lin, plunder on the spot, and use the grain and grass of the Jin Kingdom to fill his own lack.

Thinking about this clearly, Ren Tianxing's spirit was suddenly shocked, and he didn't stop any longer, turned around and returned to the Zhongjun tent, and at the same time ordered the guards beside him to find Chu Chen, saying that he had something urgent to discuss with him.

Seeing Ren Tianxing's radiant appearance at this time, and judging the two of them when he was upset just now, Jin Zhuo guessed that Ren Tianxing had a strategy to break the enemy in his heart, but what the specific method was, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to ask more.

Not long after Ren Tianxing and Jin Zhuo returned to the Chinese military tent, Chu Chen and several generals of the You army approached with their heads held high.

Nie Lin's side fought even better, and he was close to the golden capital Wancheng, which made Chu Chen also feel more glorious, and he walked with a tiger, and he was even more proud in front of Ren Tianxing.

Seeing Ren Tianxing, You Jun intervened to give a salute, Chu Chen only arched his hand slightly, and asked, "Ren Shuai, you are looking for the next step, I don't know what to discuss." ”

Ren Tianxing didn't care about Chu Chen's arrogance, of course, people also had the capital to be arrogant. He smiled and waved his hand, motioning for Chu Chen to sit aside, and then asked, "General Chu, I don't know what you think of the current battle situation?"

"Opinion?" Chu Chen sneered, his opinion had been proposed, but it was vetoed by Ren Tianxing. He said: "My opinion is still the same as before, don't smash any outer cities, the army presses up, storms Jiangyang, and kills it in one go." ”

Ren Tianxing nodded thoughtfully and said, "General Chu's strategy is also reasonable, but I have another idea, I don't know if it's feasible, so I asked General Chu to come and discuss." ”

His attitude and tone were too modest, like playing Tai Chi, even if Chu Chen had a stomach full of dissatisfaction and opinions about Ren Tianxing, he had no way to vent it. He sighed secretly and said, "If Ren Shuai has any ideas, please tell me directly!"

After pondering for a moment, Ren Tianxing said slowly: "Our army has been attacked in the two places of hoarding supplies in the Red Country and the Jin Country, and now our army is short of food and grass, and the armament is insufficient, the more the battle drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to our army......

Before he finished speaking, Chu Chen slapped his thigh heavily and said, "Ren Shuai, you can figure it out!

Ren Tianxing said slowly: "The attack is to attack, but our target is not Jiangyang!" (to be continued......)
