There had just been a war here, and burning houses could be seen everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
After nearly half a month of attacking time, Ancheng was finally captured by the Xiongnu army. At this point, the entire Ganzhou had lost more than half of its territory. Three important towns, Jingdezhen, Pocheng, and Xiao'an City, were lost one after another. The army of the King of Western Shu was here steadily. Defeat.
This time, in order to capture Xiao'an City, the Xiongnu army drove a total of 400,000 Ganren people to attack the city regardless of the cost. They did not rest day and night. Finally, it took more than ten days to capture this city with strong walls. This made all the Huns cavalry very excited.
They rushed into Xiao'an City and looted the place from the inside out. Everyone had a proud and excited look on their faces, as if they were invincible troops, and there was no place in the world that they could not defeat. .
Compared to the elation of the Huns, the face of Wei Qian'er who was accompanying the army did not show any sign of victory. On the contrary, when she saw Ye Xiao coming to report that Yang Guozhong, the magistrate of Suzhou, had been captured, her beautiful curved eyebrows were deeply furrowed. Together.
Yang Guozhong was a chess piece that she finally persuaded. He was originally said to be of great use in causing civil strife in China at the critical moment and creating opportunities for the Huns to return north to their ancestral homeland. But now he has been pulled out early. How? It won't make her heartache.
Compared to Hu Yangai who only knew about fighting, wreaking havoc, robbing women, and stealing money, Wei Qian'er thought about many more things. She was just like a full-time nanny, caring about everything and thinking about everything.
"If the Great Chinese Army stabilizes Qingzhou and sends troops to Xiangzhou, then we can't avoid its sharp edge and fight head-on." He said to himself, when his eyes fell on the territory of Qingzhou, he said again She became a little angry. She hated the uselessness of the South Vietnamese army. They sent out a hundred thousand troops and retreated without even seeing the shadow of the capital city. They were really useless.
Then she thought about how she had been rejected when she asked the Japanese to send reinforcements to Qingzhou, and she couldn't help but think about the short-sightedness of the other party. Then she couldn't help but sigh. She had a feeling, I am afraid that the glory of the Xiongnu army in Daqiannan will be gone.
...
Lancheng.
Wei Chao, the first commander of the General Staff, arrived here following the order. Along with him came an elite staff team, who brought the next stage of the Great Chinese Army's offensive strategy.
There are three plans in total.
First, before sending troops to Zangzhou, the monk soldiers almost took advantage of them. According to the temper of the Chinese army, they will naturally take revenge if they have the chance.
Second, send troops to Dianzhou. The advantage of capturing it is that it can cut off the main supply line of the South Vietnamese Army and can also join the Canglang Battalion stationed there. After defeating the reinforcements sent by the South Vietnamese Army to Qingzhou, the South Vietnamese Army and the Yunnan Army The state army has speeded up the encirclement and suppression of Canglang Camp. Jifeng Mountain is no longer safe. They are asking for instructions on whether to jump out from there and join the main force.
Third, send troops to Xiangzhou and plunge into the big chess game of the South. As long as you gain a firm foothold, you can freely choose whether to fight the Huns or the South Vietnamese. Of course, if you occupy that place, you must also At the same time, they faced attacks from these two alien races at any time.
After Wei Chao arrived at the camp in Lancheng, he took out the three combat plans formulated by the General Staff for Tang Ao to make the final decision.
As soon as the three plans were laid out, Tang Ao was very pleased. At least it showed that everyone was thinking about how to attack, which was a good thing. What Tang Ao was afraid of was that everyone felt that they had occupied enough territory.
The most troublesome thing is the thought of slacking off and thinking that you have to stick to it.
"There is no need to take care of Zangzhou for now. We will transfer the Taishi Jin Department of the Third Snow Leopard Regiment of Shaking Mountain Guards to adapt to the climate there. When they have no more problems, Zangzhou will be left to them to deal with."
Thinking that Tai Shijin's Snow Leopard Regiment almost didn't die at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, Tang Ao decided to give them a chance for revenge.
"It is not appropriate to send troops to Dianzhou now. Attacking there can indeed cut off most of the supplies of the South Vietnamese Army, but it will also force them to fight us desperately, which is not in line with our current combat mission. But Canglang Camp
It’s time to come out. It’s not suitable to continue in Dianzhou. It’s too dangerous. In this way, we will make a plan to let them break out and we will rescue them.”
Putting the second plan aside, Tang Ao finally set his sights on the territory of Xiangzhou and said: "Let's prepare according to the third plan. After we capture Xiangzhou, we must at least stand firm there.
If we keep our heels, we can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and we will be in an invincible position."
Tang Ao made a decision in a while, and Wei Chao, the deputy chief of staff, nodded repeatedly and said: "I obey the order."
...
Jifeng Mountain.
A bird jumped over the dense forest and then flapped its wings and landed on a simple dwelling. A Longya team member who had been waiting here reached out to caress the bird and then took out a stick from its sharp claws.
He picked up a paper tube and then ran quickly behind him.
The paper tube was soon delivered to the hands of the squad leader, General Wang, and was displayed in front of Li Chuxiang and the eldest princess soon after.
"Are we going back?" After the eldest princess saw the content of the letter, her eyes were filled with joy. Although she could be well taken care of in Jifeng Mountain, after all, this is a barren mountain.
It's okay to stay here. After a long time, I got tired of it. If I hadn't considered Li Chuxiang's feelings, I would have left long ago.
"Yes, we are leaving here." After Li Chuxiang agreed, he looked around with some reluctance. It was obvious that he still had some feelings for the place where he had stayed for several years.
But no matter what, Tang Ao's order came down, telling the Canglang Battalion to prepare for a breakout. When the time comes, the Dahua Army will naturally give them support, contain the strength of the Dianzhou and South Vietnamese Army, and create suitable opportunities for them.
If Canglang Camp wants to expand, it must go out. Li Chuxiang has long been mentally prepared for this, so it is not surprising. After receiving the letter, he began to make preparations before leaving.
Nowadays, Canglang Camp has been expanded to a certain extent. After the title was established, and with Tang Ao's strong financial support, some people came to vote. There are currently 5,000 cavalry, which is definitely not a small force.
If there were only these 5,000 people, they were confident that they could kill them even without support. But the problem was that besides them, there were 20,000 family members on Jifeng Mountain.
They are all relatives and family members of Canglang Camp, and they cannot be abandoned. It will be difficult to take them away from here. If no one is there to help them, there is no possibility of leaving safely.
In May of the first year of the Hua Kingdom.
The border between Qingzhou and Dianzhou became lively. Emperor Tang Ao personally arrived, accompanied by the 4th Wild Wolf Regiment of Shanshan Guards, the 1st Guiyi Brigade, the 1st Firearms Brigade, the 1st Field Army, and the 4th Field Army, a total of twelve
Ten thousand troops appeared in Qiancheng, confronting Mangcheng in Dianzhou.
As soon as the Dahua Army made a move here, the entire Dian Prefecture became tense. The commander-in-chief Li Xuantong sent his general Zhang Shuo to lead the army to increase troops in Mangcheng, and at the same time he appealed to his master behind him, the King of Nanyue, for help.
Before the incident in Qingzhou, Li Xuantong was very worried that the Chinese army would take advantage of the situation to attack, so he mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized. Even the Picheng troops and horses not far from Jifeng Mountain were mobilized 90%.
Only a few hundred soldiers were left to defend the city.
After the changes in Picheng were reported to Jifeng Mountain, Li Chuxiang led the 5,000 Canglang Battalion and began to quietly leave toward the northwest. Because all the nearby soldiers and horses were transferred away, no one was there when they left.
noticed.
Ever since Tang Ao repelled the South Vietnamese and Xiongnu reinforcements and occupied Qingzhou, all parties have been speculating on the next move of the Chinese army. Now that they suddenly deployed troops on the border of Dianzhou, they gave everyone an illusion.
That is to say, the next target of the Dahua Army is likely to be Dianzhou.
The South Vietnamese general Qiu Suisui, who had occupied the entire Guangdong Province and was considering whether to attack Shuzhou or Xiangzhou next, was originally very distressed.
Wei Qian'er, formerly Princess Di and now Princess of the Huns, wrote a letter to herself, to the effect that she hoped that after the South Vietnamese army captured the entire Guangdong Province, they would give up attacking Xiangzhou and leave this place to the Huns.
In the letter, Wei Qian'er also repeatedly assured that she and the Xiongnu army had no intention of establishing a foothold in the south of Daqian. They came here because they were too poor and wanted to grab some resources to lay the foundation for their return to the north to establish Dadi.
In the letter, Wei Qian'er did not hide her thoughts and pointed out that she was interested in the resources and money of Xiangzhou and even Shuzhou.
Although some words were not said, the meaning was already obvious. Whoever fought with them to capture Xiangzhou was their enemy of the Huns. As for who could capture Shuzhou, it was up to each of them according to their abilities.
The South Vietnamese army is naturally not afraid of the Huns, but it would be best if they could avoid fighting with them.
According to Qiu Suisui's wishes, it was just Xiangzhou, so what if it was left to the Huns. But after all, he was not the King of South Vietnam. He could not make the decision on such a major matter privately, but had to ask the king for instructions. The letter was written.
Before he received a reply, he received a new piece of news. The Great Chinese Army was approaching the northern border of Dianzhou. This really made him angry and scared him.
The main transportation route for the South Vietnamese army to enter Daqian is in Dianzhou. Of course, a small amount of military supplies also pass through Jiaozhou, but due to road reasons, Jiaozhou alone cannot meet the needs of the army.
All this makes the geographical location of Dianzhou very important. It is no exaggeration to say that if it is lost, the situation of the hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese troops who have poured into Daqiannan will be worrying.
