Chapter 300: Offensive and Defensive Changes
Before Xiao Yanting set out on the expedition, Xiao Wuxin once said to him that the people of Northern Liang are good at riding and shooting, and if they want to take the initiative on the battlefield, there is only one word:
Fast!
Only faster than the people of the Northern Liang, lightning rushed, and the enemy was caught off guard.
As Xiao Yanting had always done, it took a month for a normal march from the Hetao grassland to reach Manchester City, and it only took them five days.
Along the way, the gods block and kill the gods, and the Buddhas block and kill the Buddhas.
Among them, the most important thing is that Xiao Wuxin handed over the secretly trained cavalry to Xiao Yanting.
After attacking Manchester City, they did not stay for long, and followed the route of Tuoba Yuan's escape until they reached Wolf Juxu Mountain.
......
Jinling.
The battle report from the front came back.
"Your Majesty! Shanggu Road was a great victory, Zhao Wangbu led the cavalry to break through Manchester City, and the Northern Liang Tuoba Yuan fled north, and at this moment they had been pursued to Wolf Juxu Mountain. ”
It was expected, but Xiao Wuxin was still overjoyed, he walked to the front of the map and drew circles one after another on it.
"Zhao Ponu, you immediately notify the northwest border and spread the news that the Northern Liang Holy Land Manchester City has been breached and Tuoba Yuan has fled."
"Also, send a letter to Tibet! Let's just say that if they withdraw their troops now, they can be blamed for the past, and if they insist on mixing with Beiliang, then we will start indiscriminate massacres. ”
The Northern Liang Emperor was defeated and the city was broken, and Tuoba Yuan fled far away, which was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the momentum of the Northern Liang army.
And what Xiao Wuxin wanted to do was this, completely knocking out their spirits.
"What about the battle situation of the other three-way army?!" Xiao Wuxin asked.
"The military report hasn't come back yet, but according to our previous plan, there should be no problem." Wei Zheng said.
At this moment, Xiao Wuxin also breathed a long sigh of relief.
Wei Zheng understood his thoughts: "Your Majesty, in less than two years, the shame of the 'Huaishui Alliance' can finally be washed away. ”
In the past two years, thanks to Xiao Wuxin's reforms, it took less than two years for the Zhou Dynasty to show a thriving situation.
"Just you talk a lot."
Xiao Wuxin's laughter echoed in the hall.
On the battlefield thousands of miles away, the three-way army was indeed ambushed by the enemy, just as expected.
They tried to split them in two, breaking them one by one.
It's a pity that Zhou Jun predicted their prediction.
The Zhou army divided the main force in two, and in the face of the enemy's ambush, they did not panic at all. Through methods such as changing formations, assaults, and sweeps, the Northern Liang army was slaughtered all over the field, and it was unbearable to see.
In the end, the three armies ended in victory, and they killed more than 58,000 Northern Liang troops.
"Send the good news back to Jinling immediately."
After the victory, the three-way army did not stop, but continued to implement the strategy of great detour.
......
Soon, the news of the loss of the Northern Liang army spread to Tubo.
The messenger of the Zhou Dynasty also arrived in Tubo at the same time, and the messenger conveyed Xiao Wuxin's meaning.
At first, the king of Tubo didn't think so, he only thought that the Zhou Dynasty was boasting, but after getting the news from the front, the king was not calm.
"Your Zhou Dynasty is terrible, in just two years, the military has grown so fast, it's terrible." The king of Tibet said.
The smile on the messenger's face could not be concealed: "My Great Zhou Emperor said that Tubo has always pursued independent governance, and the reason why he united with Northern Liang this time was purely deceived by Tuoba Yuan. ”
The king of Tibet was overjoyed, and he naturally wanted to ally with a powerful country.
Zhou Chao didn't care about his previous suspicions, which he didn't expect.
"My lord, this is my handwritten letter to you from the emperor alone."
The messenger took out a letter and handed it to the king himself.
"He said, after you read this letter, you will naturally know what kind of person Tuoba Yuan is."
When the king opened the letter, it was recorded that the battle of Mogao Grottoes was in the past.
In that battle, all the countries that participated, they were killed, wounded, and very few people came back in the end.
The national teachers of Tibet also died heroically in that battle.
And Xiao Wuxin's letter is a record of the events of that year, including Tuoba Yuan, in order to seize the throne, he did not hesitate to kill Tuoba Dazang, the previous monarch of Northern Liang.
"I'll just say, how could a person like Tuoba Yuan become the emperor of Beiliang, it turns out that he is this kind of person." The king of Tibet said angrily.
When the king of Tibet was young, he studied in the Central Plains and was well versed in the etiquette of the Central Plains, especially filial piety.
People like Tuoba Yuan who kill his father and brother are especially disgusted.
And this letter is Xiao Wuxin's second method.
Even if there was no four-way army, Xiao Wuxin would use this means to disintegrate the alliance between Tubo and Northern Liang.
Subsequently, the king of Tibet immediately flew to the front line, so that the Tibetan army immediately withdrew.
At the same time, he sent envoys to Jinling to establish a new alliance with the Great Zhou Dynasty.
......
On the northwest border, Beiliang, who is still in the dark, has no idea that his country has undergone earth-shaking changes.
It was not until the Tibetan army received the news of the withdrawal that the Northern Liang army suddenly realized.
Time passed, and they became lambs to the slaughter.
Of the 70,000 troops left, after the withdrawal of Tibet, the Northern Liang army was less than 40,000.
However, the Zhou army on the border has 50,000, and the three-way army has formed a huge encirclement.
At this moment, the offense and defense are changing.
The soldiers who worked hard to defend the city in the past have been suppressed for so long, and their eyes are full of murderous green light, as if they want to devour the Northern Liang army alive.
"Brothers, after enduring it for so long, it's finally our turn to attack." The city guard said.
"Kill that group of bitches, rush~!"
