"Husband, envoy Qin Chuan wants to see you," Xian Lianchen said as he walked in from outside the tent.
"Let him come in." Haotian said, but after thinking about it, he still stopped Xian Lianchen: "I still don't want to, just ask them what they mean."
Luo Xiang smiled slightly, Haotian has finally matured. Now is not the time to meet the Qinchuan envoy. If he meets the envoy and the other party brings out the sign of national justice, then Haotian will not be able to refuse. But the message is different. In that case
Hetao can assess the situation. After all, there are more than 250,000 Northeastern Allied Forces on the opposite side of the Hetao. If Cheng Xianqing's 200,000 troops go north, even if Haotian is particularly confident in his men, the casualties will probably be heavy.
Xian Lianchen came back soon. As soon as he came in, he opened his mouth and said: "The messenger said that Qinchuan suffered a great disaster. The Red Eyebrow Army has returned to Qinchuan. Now what King Jingxi needs to face is Cheng Xianqing and Zhu Zhao.
With an army of one hundred thousand, I hope that you, husband, can support us because we are all members of the same lineage of China and have fought side by side."
Haotian nodded: "It seems that Li Tieming has not burned his head yet and has not withdrawn all the troops. Fortunately, we have been prepared."
"Report!" Zhan Shutang's high-pitched voice sounded outside the tent.
"Come in!" Haotian shouted. Zhanshutang is not like Xian Lianchen. You cannot enter and leave Haotian's tent at will, so you must first ask for permission outside the tent.
"My Lord, the Northeastern Allied Forces suddenly launched a counterattack. They concentrated nearly 100,000 cavalry in their hands, set off from Xuzhou City, and frequently fought with our Blood Commander and others. The Blood Commander Feng Commander, Xin Commander Du Commander and Qingcheng Mistress'
More than 100,000 troops have been united to prepare for the counterattack of the Northeastern Allied Forces," Zhan Shutang said.
Haotian smiled slightly: "I said that Cassimbas would not continue to be beaten like this. It turned out that he had been prepared for it. Song Zhengfeng, I didn't expect that he and Cassimbas were also on the line. Cassimbas, I
The king now wants to see what other methods you have. Give me the king's order to let the blood commander and others deal with Cassimbas' Northeastern coalition with all their strength. Don't worry about others. Military advisor, sir, our army is embedded in Ruzhou and Raozhou.
In the meantime, prepare to fight side by side with King Jingxi’s 100,000 troops!”
Luo Xiang nodded, and then said: "My lord, Emperor Zhongxing's attitude is very thought-provoking."
Haotian said disdainfully: "What he most wants to see is for the three major families to suffer losses, but he doesn't want to think about it. Without the support of the Li family and the Zhang family, his Tiandu Holy Capital will face Cheng Xianqing's Paradise Holy Sect.
It can last for a few days.”
Luo Xiang smiled slightly, saluted Xuanji and walked out of the commander's camp.
"Sir, can the plan be implemented?" Xuanji asked softly.
Luo Xiang nodded: "It's almost done, but it's best to wait for a while. If the empire loses this battle, then the Holy Sect's arrogance will become even more arrogant, and Cheng Xianqing will be even more complacent. Haha, the empire is in trouble now.
Already."
Indeed, the empire is really in trouble now.
Zhang Cangxiong did not expect that the Song family in Yizhou would be so heartless. The Qingfeng coalition forces on the front line were fighting fiercely with the Bliss Alliance, but as people of the Celestial Dynasty, they actually added insult to injury and stabbed them in the back. This knife was not very powerful.
Light, the 30,000-strong army of the Li family including Li Fangcheng was wiped out, and Hezhou and Changzhou fell. Among the six states on the Qinchuan Road, the richest was Hezhou, Changzhou and the capital Ezhou. If Hezhou and Changzhou were lost, Qinchuan would
The strength may be reduced by half.
Thinking of Song Zhengfeng's shameless cruelty, Zhang Cangxiong also felt sorry for him. He did not hesitate to transfer Zhang Cangzong's 40,000 navy to the Pennsylvania area. The 200,000 troops that had gathered on the front line were also divided into 50,000, led by Zhang Jishi.
Going to Pennsylvania, Zhang Jiwei led 50,000 soldiers to the west of Pingzhou to prevent the Song family from sweeping the Huai River in a frenzy. And he led the Yellow Turban Army to sit on the front line to prevent Pinglang's counterattack.
When things came to this, Zhang Cangxiong thanked his son-in-law. If Haotian hadn't reminded him first, he might have already fought fiercely with the Pinglang Army in order to regain the lost territory. In that case, even if he wanted to withdraw from the battlefield, he wouldn't be able to do so.
Such an easy thing. And if he really fights with Henglang and loses both sides, then who knows whether the Song family, which has been completely torn apart, will take the opportunity to move eastward.
Liu Nanqiu and Liu Nanshang walked out of the palace with livid faces. Their eyes were extremely cold. In addition, there was deep disappointment in them. Just now they asked to see Emperor Zhongxing again, hoping that Emperor Zhongxing would allow it.
The Dragon Riding Legion or the Suzaku Legion went to fill the vacancy after the Qinchuan Red Eyebrow Legion was transferred, but Emperor Zhongxing still did not allow it. Thinking of the two days ago, the two of them plus Liu Nanshu proposed that the Suzaku Legion immediately enter Qinchuan Road to assist the Li family in resisting.
Emperor Zhongxing also looked unhappy at the Song family's invasion. Looking at the gray sky, both of them sighed.
"Third brother, what do you think we should do now?" Liu Nanshang asked. Emperor Xianlie had six brothers in total. Emperor Xianlie was naturally the prince, followed by Liu Nance, Liu Nanqiu, Liu Nannan, Liu Nanshu, and Liu Nanshang.
and Liu Nanke, but Liu Nance, Liu Nanke and Liu Nanke have been killed in the battle, leaving only Liu Nanqiu and the other three. Although the three of them are now nominally in power, Emperor Zhongxing is restraining them. Although several people are determined to kill the thieves,
But there is nothing you can do.
Liu Nanqiu scolded him harshly: "Trash, as stupid as his father!"
Liu Nanshang said quickly: "Third brother, be careful." Although he was thinking the same thing in his heart, there were some things that could not be said carelessly.
Liu Nanqiu snorted: "Your Majesty, what he most wants to see is for the four major vassals to kill each other, so that he can take advantage in the end. But he also doesn't think about it, if Qinchuan and the Song family really fight, both sides will lose, then just rely on
With this little force in our hands, why should we fight against the Bliss Alliance? You know, at least the Qinchuan Li family is firmly on our side now, but the Li family suffered a disaster, and there are Suzaku guards and Suzaku guards in Tiandu Shengjing.
The three legions of the Dragon Riders with 300,000 people actually stood aside and watched the southern part of Qinchuan fall. How could such behavior prevent the allies from alienating them? Now not only Li Tieming, but also Haotian and Zhang Cangxiong may have thoughts in their hearts.
"
Liu Nanshang didn't speak. This time the two brothers jointly asked for a meeting, hoping that Emperor Zhongxing could let the Suzaku Legion or the Dragoon Legion advance into the Raozhou area and fight side by side with Li Tieming to fill the vacancy left after the Red Eyebrow Legion was transferred. Although they knew
Sooner or later, Li Tieming's 100,000-strong army will withdraw to Qinchuan, but at least it can buy some time for the redeployment of troops. However, Emperor Zhongxing is still firmly opposed. He does not want to think about what will happen if Li Tieming's 100,000-strong army is defeated or retreats.
What should the Eastern Green Dragon Legion do? Can they, who are among the Zhu Zhao Legion and the Yan Lai Ge Legion, be able to reap the benefits?
Kasimbas did not give Qingfeng a chance. Although he was seriously injured this time, his troop layout was no different from before. They were all closely linked. As long as the opponent made a wrong move, he would be killed every step of the way.
After Zhang Cangxiong's 40,000-strong navy was transferred to Binzhou, Dongbo's 80,000-strong navy transported the Minghui Corps, which had been quietly prepared, to the north of Shouzhou within half a day, together with Yan Lege's 100,000-strong army.
They marched together by water to fight against the advancing Eastern Green Dragon Army. Cheng Xianqing's 200,000 Bliss elites were not to be outdone. Cheng Xianqing personally blocked Haotian's continuous offensive with his own 100,000 soldiers, while the Bingheng Army fought to the death.
With Li Tieming's 100,000 troops contained, Zhu Zhao's army was able to move out smoothly.
As soon as Zhu Zhao's army got rid of the entanglement of the Li family's army, leaving only some logistics personnel in Raozhou City to guard strategic materials, he personally led an army of 100,000 people to quickly go south, and fought with the 50,000 Qinglong Army soldiers led by Liu Gelong in Raozhou Hua, Shouzhou.
Jin County. In order to buy time for the marching Eastern Army and Ma Ying's Green Dragon Army, Liu Gelong led 50,000 soldiers to defend the city of Joaquin, and used the only 10,000 cavalry in hand to attack Zhu Zhao's Army, which had almost no cavalry.
A surprise attack was carried out. When Zhu Zhao saw Liu Gelong retreating to Joaquin County, he originally planned to go around and directly attack the advancing army. However, facing Liu Gelong's unyielding attack, Zhu Zhao became furious and led an army of 100,000 to forcibly attack the city.
Except for Danzhou and Hepingzhou in the west, which are mountainous and hilly, the rest of the Huai River area is mostly flat fertile farmland, and due to the lack of stone, most of the cities are difficult to attack and difficult to defend. Joaquin is just a small county.
, the city wall is not only low, but also the defense facilities are extremely backward. Although there are 50,000 soldiers in the city, the Qinglong Legion has basically been rebuilt. Among the 50,000 soldiers, there are less than 15,000 veterans, and the rest have just joined the army for two months.
The new recruits on the left and right were not as good as the soldiers of Zhu Zhao's army in terms of combat effectiveness and psychological quality. Although Liu Gelong tried his best, he only delayed the defeat of the city until noon the next day.
In this battle, more than 20,000 people from Zhu Zhao's army were killed, and all Liu Gelong's troops from the Qinglong army were annihilated. Liu Gelong broke through decisively in the final stage, but although he had 10,000 cavalry in his hands, Zhu Zhao had already prepared, and the 10,000 cavalry were defeated by Zhu.
Zhu Zhao's infantry strangled Liu Gelong with a spear formation, and Liu Gelong was seriously injured and captured. In order to vent his anger, Zhu Zhao not only tortured Liu Gelong by quartering his body on five horses, but also massacred all the more than 50,000 Huaishui people in Joaquin County. On that day, from Joaquin
The blood flowing out of the county town actually dyed the Muzi River that flows next to the county town red.
"Marquis Anbian, lead the Qinglong Army to retreat westward immediately! The Holy Sect's attack is too fierce. Zhu Zhao's Army is coming to the battlefield. If we don't withdraw now, we may be beaten by the opponent." Xiang
Xing hurriedly walked to Ma Ying's side and said.
Xiang Xing pointed to the west and said: "Master Hou, go forty miles to the west and you will reach the territory of Danzhou. Thirty miles ahead is the Tongshui River, a tributary of the Huai River. As long as you can cross the Tongshui River,
The Holy Sect of Paradise will never think of keeping us. However, there is only a thousand-man team left by me on the Wangjiang Bridge on the Tongshui River. If the opponent takes the lead in outflanking us, then our entire army will be wiped out."
Ma Ying said decisively: "In this case, Marquis Zhongyong, you immediately lead your army to Wangjiang Bridge. There are 20,000 cavalry in your Eastern Army, but I only have 10,000 cavalry here, and their combat effectiveness is extremely poor. If the Holy Sect of Paradise
They are really in front, and I'm afraid they won't be able to break through the opponent's defense line. You go first, and I will lead the Green Dragon Army to break up the rear."
A flash of hesitation flashed in Xiang Xing's eyes, but this was not the time to care about gains and losses. Xiang Xing opened his eyes and shouted decisively: "In that case, I will lead 20,000 cavalry in front. Hou Zhengchun, you lead 30,000
The soldiers have stopped with the Marquis at the border. Don't be reluctant to fight, and rush to Wangjiang Bridge as quickly as possible."
When Xiang Xing led the cavalry to Wangjiang Bridge, the battle was fierce. The person responsible for guarding Wangjiang Bridge was a thousand-man team under the Eastern Army, and the commander was Jiang Tang, an old subordinate of Xiang Xing.
Jiang Qiao was far away from the battlefield, and Xiang Xing placed him here just out of basic vigilance. Jiang Tang also felt extremely depressed at first, thinking that his comrades were all fighting a fierce battle with the Holy Sect in front.
, and besides checking the passing business travelers, the only thing he could do here was to vent his energy on the soldiers below and let them train desperately. However, Jiang Tang did not expect that he and the thousand soldiers under his command would
It became the lifeline for Xiang Xing and other 150,000 troops.
"Master Jiang, we are just sitting here doing nothing. You are an old subordinate of the legion commander. Go and intercede with the legion commander, maybe we can be transferred to the front line." Centurion Dong Xiaocai pestered Jiang Tang
Said. The reconstruction of the Eastern Army at that time was supported by the Minister of War, Tiezhen, and many military generals. Therefore, the soldiers in the Army were mostly militants eager to fight, unlike the Northern Army formed at the same time. Plus Xiang Xing
I am a hot-blooded and heroic man, and the soldiers below are naturally eager to make contributions on the battlefield and protect their country. Being thrown to the rear to guard the bridge, Dong Xiaocai and others were filled with anger, but they did not dare to move forward.
He asked for transfer in person, so he had no choice but to come to ask Jiang and Tang.
Jiang Tang waved his big hand in frustration: "Go, go, if you have time to chirp here, why not practice sword skills twice more, maybe I can save your life on the battlefield."
Jiang Tang was also very unconvinced, but this was the army commander's arrangement, and he could only obey it. Looking at the vast sky, Jiang Tang couldn't help but let out a long sigh. As a soldier, the battlefield is his final destination.
.Even if he died in battle, he was worthy of the title of soldier. But here, what kind of battlefield could there be? Could it be to blackmail those passing business travelers?
At this moment, a fast horse ran towards Wangjiang Bridge like lightning. Jiang Tang took a quick look and saw that this was the scout he sent out. He just saw that the other party was so anxious. Could it be that the legion commander was there?
Something happened?
"Master Jiang, no, it's not good. More than 10,000 soldiers from the Holy Sect of Paradise are coming towards us!" the scout turned over and dismounted, panting.
"What?" Jiang Tang was shocked, and his voice suddenly rose a few degrees.
The scout said with certainty: "Sir, the opponent does not have cavalry, but they are very fast. Looking at their flags, they are subordinates of the Zhu Zhao Legion of the Holy Sect of Paradise."
Jiang Tang calmed down quickly. The Zhu Zhao Army was actually not the Yan Lege Army that was confronting the Army Commander. Could it be that the other party was preparing to outflank the Army Commander and the soldiers of the Qinglong Army? Then he must keep Wangjiang at all costs.
Bridge, otherwise if the retreat is cut off by the Holy Sect of Paradise, the legion commander's side will be in danger. Thinking of this, Jiang Tang shouted in a broken voice: "Come here, inform the legion commander immediately what happened on our side. The rest of the soldiers are all in the army
