Chapter 877: Infiltrating the Western Regions
However, the letter said that Hetiandao had sent troops from the cities under their control, and was ready to directly attack these four cities with heavy troops, which made Ximen Zheng helpless.
Because the original emergency army in the hands of the Simon family has been fully deployed, there is no spare strength to help these four cities.
"Let them retreat...... Simon thought for a long time, and finally made this difficult decision: "Let the four of them retreat to the safety of the city with the men and horses in the rear, strengthen the deployment, thoroughly investigate the army, and there must be no more losses." ”
"Understood!"
As long as Simon Zheng has made a decision, Simon Jia will quickly write down the plan that has already been formed in his mind and send it to the front line in letters, this is war, either you die or I die!
====Dividing line====
The battle in the south of Yongzhou suddenly broke out, and then directly entered the white heat. Wang Bing's eyes were completely attracted by the actions of the Ximen family at this time, and at this time, a force in the north was also quietly acting.
Beiming Xinyi personally led the troops to the battle, accompanied by the Jiangyang army. In addition to the military strength of the town, Jiang Heng sent his right-hand man Hua Ying to lead 20,000 Jiangyang troops and the Beiming family to the south together, and the two sides were outflanked by two wings, and now they have quietly sneaked to Kunxi Mountain at the junction of the north and south of Yongzhou.
The sudden slaughter of the Northern Hell's Army and the Jiangyang Army caught the Hetian Dao's army off guard!
Wang Bing's order to Hou Zhao was to kill Ximen Jin before he arrived at the Bei Ming family, and when he heard the news of Ximen Jin's death, he subconsciously thought that things were going according to his own plan, who knew that the situation would change because of Bai Cangtian's intervention in the middle of the way, and the sudden intervention of the Bei Ming family was like a stab to the rear of Hetian Dao, which immediately made Wang Bing's feet chaotic!
"It can't be!"
When Wang Bing received the message, he was still late one night, looking at the scribbled handwriting on the letterhead, and even scribbled it several times, which obviously showed how panicked the person who wrote the letter was.
Wang Bing's heart was cold in an instant, and he instantly figured out all kinds of keys.
"Ximen Lao Pifu!No wonder you dared to be so ruthless this time, it turned out that you found foreign aid!" Wang Bing thought about countermeasures in his heart, it must be Ximen Jin who successfully sent the letter to Beiming's house, but this matter was handled by Hou Zhao himself, there should be no problem!
Unless Ximen Jin is just a pretense, and there is someone else who sent the letter!
Wang Bing boasted that he immediately sensed the key to this matter, gritted his teeth with hatred, and his eyes were about to erupt with fire: "Simon Pifu, you actually let your brother be a bait, you are really ruthless!"
But this is not the time to hesitate, three hours later, there are several other letters sent from the north, the Jiangyang army and the Northern Hell Family Army have directly taken those few important cities in the north controlled by the Heavenly Dao, and they are continuing to go south non-stop, it seems that they have no intention of sending people to defend the city!
Wang Bing's heart instantly cooled, the strategy in this is obvious, however, the Bei Ying family and the Jiangyang army want to go south as quickly as possible, directly connect with the Ximen family, and finally complete the north-south attack on the Hetian Dao!
"I'm angry!" Wang Bing was furious, he quickly mobilized men and horses to rescue the north and south, but at the same time two fronts of fighting, even if it was Hetiandao, which had been operating in Yongzhou for a long time, the troops that could be mobilized began to be clumsy.
Although Wang Bing tried his best to fight back, the battle situation was still developing in the direction he least wanted to see.
Although he didn't know the battle situation in the north, the originally fierce attack of Hetian Dao suddenly had a weak momentum, which made Ximenjia keenly aware of it!
"Big brother!" Ximen Jia immediately found Ximen Zheng, and there was a rare light in his eyes: "Big brother, I guess the Bei Ming family has been killed!"
Simon is also being overwhelmed by the war these days, which is simply good news for him. Still, he remained cautious these days, asking, "Where did the news come from, exactly?"
"Big brother come and see!" Ximenjia quickly ran to the sand table, deduced back and forth, pointed in a direction and said: "Just in the past few days, the Hetian Dao front line has been frequently transferred, I have roughly calculated, the troops on the front line have been withdrawn at least thirty percent! Although on the surface they still have a forward pressure on our army, but they already have some taste of the end of the crossbow, these days the big brother should also be able to see from the military situation that our pressure is not as great as before." ”
"So, that's your inference. Ximen Zheng didn't say anything, he carefully weighed the pros and cons, and frowned: "Could this be a trap set by Wang Bing? ”
"I've thought about it too, but I don't think it will be this time. Ximenjia showed a rare smile, and his words were very confident: "Big brother, among the troops that withdrew this time, there are Bai Yang's 20,000 people! This is the most elite attacking force in Wang Bing's hands, if they break through our defense line, it will be impossible to withdraw this sharp knife!"
"I sent people to keep a close eye on the movements of Bai Yangjun's army, and found that they had already passed the Green Ridge all the way to the north, if there was any trickery, he would not have withdrawn so quickly!"
Ximen Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "So, they really withdrew!"
Ximenjia smiled: "Yes, and I deduce that there is a high probability that they are going to the north to meet the Northern Hell Army!"
"This may be the turning point of this battle!"
A day later, a surprise attack suddenly appeared, and the Ximen family, who had been holding on, suddenly sent troops to counterattack the defense line laid by Hetiandao, and Hetiandao was caught off guard, although he tried his best to resist, but he was still defeated by the Ximenjia army.
Today's Simon family has undergone this baptism of blood, and it has been rare to radiate vitality, just like the buds of rotten rotten wood. At this moment, everyone who remained in the Ximen family is the last elite of the Ximen family, and everyone is twisted into a rope and stubbornly stuck to the last line of defense of the Ximen family!
The appearance of the Northern Hell Army and the Jiangyang Army made the pressure on the Ximen family drop sharply, like a spring that was pressed to the extreme by the Heavenly Dao, and everyone was holding their breath, wanting to take revenge!
With the blessing of this fighting spirit, the rare everyone in the Simon family showed far more enthusiasm than before, charging forward, and not afraid of death, which was completely different from the previous children of the Simon family who could only fight for power and profit.
It's no wonder that most of those guys who like to fight for power and profit have been killed in that baptism, and now the Simon family is really twisted into a rope!
Half a month, just half a month, under the attack of the north and south, the road between the Ximen family and the North Hetian army was successfully opened, and then they and the Jiangyang army together, formed a three-way encirclement to put pressure on Hetiandao, constantly compressing their defense line, and finally forced the last strength of Wang Bing and Hetiandao into Mohuan City.
This is already Wang Bing's last line of defense, and he has no way to retreat!
However, the city is the only gateway from the south of Yongzhou to the Western Regions, and with the Western Regions at its back, Wang Bing has an endless stream of logistical support, and it is by no means a simple matter to capture the city.
====Dividing line====
In the northern part of the Western Regions, in the territory of Lanxi Country, an army is quietly marching.
If there are sharp-eyed people, you can find that all their standard equipment is the appearance of the Central Plains, not only well-equipped, but also full of spirit, everyone's eyes contain the heart of victory, so that the momentum of this army is twisted together, and there is even a faint murderous aura hidden in everyone has not faded.
This is an iron-blooded army that has just stepped down from the battlefield!
Walking in front is a figure that has never appeared on the battlefield of Yongzhou.
Jiang Heng!
That's right, this is the Jiangyang Army that has just retreated from the battlefield in Jizhou!
None of the people of the Heavenly Dao observed the movements of this army, because they did not enter the southern battlefield of Yongzhou at all, but before the battle began, they directly entered the Western Regions from Shangzhi City in the north of Yongzhou!
Their purpose is to help Lan Xiguo directly break through the dawn that has been lingering for a long time!
This strategy was set by Hua Feiyu and Zheng Ai after careful consideration, and Prince Jing Tan once said that he would only support Wei Jin to become the emperor of the Central Plains, how could such a natural ally not support him.
Just like Ding didn't help Wei Xi plan the world before, Hua Feiyu, Gongsun Qi and Zheng Ai Peng are also helping Wei Jin plan the world!
Jiang Heng personally ordered 10,000 Jiangyang troops to set off with him this time, and the messenger who set off first had already transmitted the message to Wenqing, and it should have been delivered to the Lord of Jingtan at this moment.
Sure enough, in the ensuing march, Jiang Heng and Jiang Yangjun showed great enthusiasm, and even opened the doors of the heavy cities along the way to greet them, allowing them to go directly to Wenqing all the way unimpeded.
Jiang Heng took the sword at his waist, strode into the palace of Wenqing, and bowed respectfully to the lord of Jingtan on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty, the lord of the Lanxi country, this time I have been ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Liao to help the Lanxi country exterminate the thief army and clear the Western Regions!"
After speaking, Jiang Heng respectfully took out a tightly wrapped scroll from his arms, which was really Wei Jin's handwritten letter to Jing Tan.
Xu Decai hurriedly stepped forward and took the scroll with both hands and presented it to Jing Tan, Jing Tan looked at the scroll carefully without squinting, and the smile in his eyes gradually became clear.
Jing Tan subconsciously glanced at Xu Decai beside him, and they both saw the joy in their hearts.
The kindness expressed to Wei Jin several times at the beginning has finally come to fruition.
This dispatch of troops to aid is Wei Jin's response!
"General Jiang has worked hard. Jing Tan was overjoyed, but he still had to maintain the majesty of the royal family, and he said with a straight face: "General Jiang has traveled a long way, please rest for the time being, and then I will send someone to meet with General Jiang to discuss the next strategy of fighting thieves." ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness King Ning said that when he arrived in Lanxi Country, Jiangyang Army obeyed the orders of the lord of the country. ”
Jiang Heng bowed and retreated.
The reason why the Dawn Alliance of the Western Regions resisted the Lan Xi Kingdom was invincible in the early stage was because Hou Zhao and the True Self Unity Sect were unified behind them, but after Hou Zhao suddenly left Yongzhou, the Dawn Alliance was leaderless, and the execution of the alliance was greatly reduced.
