Chapter 231: Attack in a big way
After half a month of preparation, the Han army suddenly divided its troops to the south! The Han army, which had confronted King Xi, continued to increase its troops! The army of the Great Jin Dynasty and Yandi obviously felt tremendous pressure.
The Dongli City, which was leaning on the front, had fallen, and the Han army did not rush to kill the people and the defenders of the Great Jin, but forced them towards the East Jicheng, which was also a way to increase the pressure on the king of Yan.
After gathering his subordinates to discuss many times, King Xi finally decided to retreat! It's not that he doesn't want to confront the Han army anymore, there are still Shence troops in the south, and it is not safe behind his lone army!
Rather than this, it is better to preserve the strength and withdraw from Yandi, fortunately, in this large area in the northeast, it has been operating for long enough, and it can be regarded as its own sphere of influence.
And the most important point, if you give up your position and let the Shence army sent by the Shendu Imperial Court go to the front, you can instead consume the strength of these two sides, and when both sides are defeated, you can also reap the benefits of the fisherman.
After the decision was made, King Xianbian led hundreds of thousands of his men to move in the direction of Baoyang, and finally the 50,000 troops on the front line also left the battlefield and moved backwards.
Dongjicheng is the largest city in Yandi, with a population of several million, and it was also the capital of Yan in those years, and the great Jin generals who conquered this city were once named the king of Yan! Later, this place became the northern garrison of the king of Yan, and since then it has been here for hundreds of years.
Now that he wants to abandon this city, King Shen's heart is not comfortable, but his advisors and Taoists told him not to care too much about the gains and losses of this city and place!
In the future, if we really want to compete with the Shendu court for the world, such a strategic shift is even more indispensable! But Yandi is fundamental, and the edge of the Han army is too strong, so it is okay to avoid its edge, but it must not be discarded.
After obtaining the East Ji City, the Han army did not fall for it, but gathered its strength and waited to attack some small and medium-sized towns around the south!
From here to the south is the stretch of towering mountains and primeval forests, which are tens of thousands of miles away, and then it will be the land of Dongzhou of the Great Jin!
Geographically, the southern part of the Dingqin Sea is on the coastline, there are no buffer beaches and harbors, and this piece of the Dingqin coast is the same as the primeval forest of the mountains, and there are no human tracks.
After sweeping all the places south of East Ji City, the Han army set out again, and this time the goal was to take the city of Baoyang a hundred miles away! This city is currently the largest city outside East Ji City.
As long as it crosses Baoyang City, it will pocket a large area of land in the east of the Northern Regions, and even if the Han army is not attacking, this large area of land will be connected with the Han Kingdom on the other side because of the current connection of the Dingqin Strait.
But this time, the vanguard of the Great Han Army suffered a heavy defeat, and it was the Shence Army of the Great Jin that defeated them!
The Northern Regions Divine Ce Army is composed of elites from all sides who were drawn by the Imperial Court of the Divine Capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, with a total of seventy or eighty thousand people, with the purpose of deterring King Shen and forcing him! When the Immortal Master Pavilion takes time out, it will become the main force behind King Xi to block the southward movement of the demon beast group in the Northern Regions Snow Field.
At that time, the large number of snow monsters caused by the southward movement of the snowy demon queen was the biggest enemy, but he didn't want to, the demon beasts that went south did not come, but the army of the Great Han Kingdom that crossed the sea came.
In terms of the current combat strength of the Great Jin, the Shence Army is a very elite force, not all armies are as perverted as the Shenwei Flying Cavalry, not to mention that the Shence Army on the side of Dingnan Pass does not want to really fight with the Dingnan Army, this question of who is fighting for? They themselves have not made it clear, so the defeat is reasonable.
But this time is different, first of all, the Han army is an obvious aggressor, the Shence army belongs to defending the homeland and defending the land in the land of the Great Jin, naturally everyone is angry, and the combat power rises, and the Han army directly killed 20,000 people in the front of the Han army and abandoned the armor, almost the whole army is at the end!
In this battle, 15,000 were beheaded, and the Han army suffered an unprecedented defeat, and they also jumped like thunder!
In this battle, the Han army, which had superior troops, was almost about to encircle the Shence army! The general commander of the Han army was proficient in the art of war and made the best arrangement, first through a deception, and lured the cavalry of the Shence army into the ambush circle with 5,000 infantry, and then the cavalry of the Han army finally appeared!
The cavalry of the Han army was very well-equipped, with complete armor and armor, and all of them were black, which seemed to be very similar to the Xuanjia army of the Southern Tang Dynasty!
That is some strange beasts as mounts of the cavalry, most of them are really tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts, these beasts can immediately scare the opponent's war horse into weak legs as soon as they appear, it is indeed very powerful.
The Shence army finally couldn't stand it, but the road they retreated was already covered with dense Han soldiers! Black flags and black armor covered the sky and the sun, and a huge evil aura rose up into the sky.
The Shence army desperately broke through the siege, trying to fight a bloody way, but there were too many people on the other side!
But at this moment, another Great Jin army suddenly rushed out from the flank and rear, and the spears and halberds swept through, and the Han army was killed and wounded in large numbers, and the encirclement was immediately torn open!
The banner of this army turned out to be the word "Yan!" and the word "Yan!", and no one expected that King Yan's men and horses would suddenly come to support the Shence army at this time!
The Shence Army didn't expect it, and the Han Army didn't expect it, everyone knew the relationship between King Shen and the Shence Army, both of them had the idea of watching each other's jokes, and both had the idea of letting the other party fight to the death with the Han Army, and the good fishermen would benefit, and now they would join forces?
In fact, King Yan is not stupid, his mind is extremely cool, so he sits back and watches the Shence army being wiped out, it is better to pull them along, this is also to plan for the future!
Once the Shence army fails, the door to the south will be opened, and the Han army will inevitably drive straight into the future, and they will lose the support of the Shendu court, and they will be the result of the destruction of the huge Han army in the rear alone.
It is better to help the Shence army at a critical moment, so that the other party owes a huge favor, and at the same time hit the offensive of the Han army, at least retain the support of the Shendu Imperial Court to the Northeast Yandi, and avoid fighting alone in the future.
After the two sides combined their forces, their combat strength increased greatly, and the Han army was defeated again, but fortunately they commanded well and did not suffer too many losses.
After this battle, the Han army retreated to Dongjicheng, on the one hand, the country consolidated its rear! On the other hand, it waited for reinforcements again! In this war of aggression, the Great Han State was almost fully prepared and almost poured out! And less than half of the hundreds of thousands of people in the early stage!
The Shence army and the army of King Xi joined forces to temporarily block the attack of the Han army, and then because it was winter, there was no more fighting between the two sides, and the two sides were in a stalemate again.
When the news reached the Shendu Imperial Court, it immediately caused a shock among the government and the opposition! You must know that although the Yandi of the Northern Regions was far away, the information was still quickly transmitted to the Shendu!
For this reason, the great master and the emperor Sima Huang convened all the ministers to discuss this matter! The sudden invasion of the Great Han Kingdom did not show the slightest warning of this matter, how could such a thing suddenly happen? Moreover, now that the war situation in Yandi is deadlocked, the Great Jin Dynasty has already suffered a big loss!
Some ministers claim that Yandi is the territory of the king of Yan, and the crime of losing the land in this way is not light, please ask the court to surrender!
However, there are few people in the entire hall who agree with this, and in extraordinary times, it is not a matter of accountability, but a matter of counterattack, and some people propose to increase armaments and send heavy troops to Yandi in the Northern Regions.
Next, the Shendu Imperial Court will mobilize the entire state apparatus, drop a few passers-by and go north to support, and the armament, grain and grass involved are not simple things, and they are bound to be busy.
At this time, someone mentioned by the way: "I heard that the Southern Tang Dynasty is also fighting in Dingnan Pass!"
Put these two things together, it suddenly has a different taste, the king of the north, the king of the south and the south, these are the two people who are most feared and guarded against in the Shendu court, but now these two enemies have a big war, is there any connection?
......
Nanzhou Dingnanguan!
There was indeed a big battle here! The Southern Tang army outside Dingnan Pass launched a large-scale attack at the beginning! It even used the strength of Xianji Province!
The battle began three days after that Dongzhou dancer Yue Xiu left Dingnan Pass and entered the Southern Tang Dynasty!
Sedum judged that Yue Xiu was indeed a spy and had a very difficult mission, and after she entered the Southern Tang Dynasty, she brought a very important piece of information!
That is, in the northeast Yan Land of the Liuyun Continent, the Great Han Congress on the opposite side started a war. This news seemed to be the news that the Southern Tang army was waiting for, so then the Southern Tang army attacked in a big way.
Wang Zuonong couldn't figure this out, how did Sedum know the news that the Great Han Kingdom had invaded Yandi in Northeast China? And it turned out that the news that Sedum said was indeed true!
Just when the Northeast Yandi was attacked by the South Korean army, the Southern Tang army was a little behind, but it was about the same time!
"It's not against us, but it's a fight we have to fight hard!" Sedum sighed.
In fact, he was not wrong, at the beginning of the Southern Tang Army, a large number of beast armies and even bug armies were mobilized!
Countless snakes and insects, beetles and poisonous bees the size of human heads, plus dense black beetles all over the ground, swarmed and slammed into the defensive cover outside Dingnan Pass!
The defensive cover of Dingnan Pass is the most powerful defensive body carefully built by Hong Zhao! It is precisely because of its existence that Xu Fengchun and Hu Dingguo were not moved at all when they faced the Southern Tang army!
These mosquitoes, snakes, pythons, and all kinds of huge flying insects are obviously raised by the immortals and strangers in the land of southern Xinjiang, or captured, and the climate in southern Xinjiang and the South China Sea is originally hot, and these insects and snakes have always been very numerous.
A large number of flying insects and beetles all over the ground frantically impacted the defensive shield outside the entire Dingnan Pass, making this defensive cover constantly flicker, and the spirit stones in the formation established by spending a lot of money in the formation under the city in the pass continued to wear out!
The officers of the city defense stood expressionlessly beside the formation, their eyes staring nervously at several of the pivotal positions, waiting for orders from above.
