Chapter 1174: Traces of the Kwantung Army, Daozongs trump card
"General Yang!"
"The injury is serious!"
Looking at Yang Zaixing who was covered in blood, Meng Tian took the initiative to express concern.
At least on the surface, Yang Zaixing is indeed in very bad shape at this time. And Yang Zaixing is now the most powerful person he has at his disposal.
At this critical moment, Meng Tian naturally hoped that nothing would happen to Yang Zaixing.
"No problem!"
"But they're just superficial injuries!" Yang Zaixing said, not taking these injuries to heart.
Regardless of whether it was him or Zhang Churang opposite, they only looked miserable on the surface. In fact, the injuries they suffered were not in critical locations.
On the surface, there were large and small wounds, and blood was flowing out from everywhere on the body, but in fact, none of them really hurt the root.
Not only Yang Zaixing and Zhang Churang, but also Pei Yuanqing and Anubis, the injuries on their bodies were only minor injuries.
Perhaps, it was only Anubis. Although his injury should be the lightest, after all, it was injured on the shoulder, so it would have some impact.
"Immediately send a letter to General Han Xin about Yang Xuangan!" Meng Tian ordered to the small colonel on one side.
This time, although the fighting general killed one Wang Lun, he also killed one Yang Xuangan.
And Wang Lun's value is far from comparable to that of Yang Xuangan.
Yang Xuangan, he is the son of Yang Su, the number one general in Dongcang, and he is also the eldest son!
At this time, Yang Su was on the way to lead 100,000 troops to resist the Korean line. Once he received this news, it was impossible for him to have no impact at all. But facing an enemy like Han Xin, any impulsiveness might be irrational.
It is likely to bring about catastrophe.
Chu Xizhao at that time was the most vivid example.
"Heyang and Qingnan armies will arrive in five days at most!"
"At that time, with the strength of our army, it will be really difficult to resist!" Bi Zaiyu said worriedly.
After all, they only have 25,000 soldiers and horses. As for Mo Peng's 30,000 Yanbei Navy, there is no need to waste it on land unless it is absolutely necessary.
"It doesn't matter, the Kwantung Army troops and horses must be on the way at this time!"
Meng Tian was not worried about the 50,000 troops that were coming.
The troops and horses of the Kwantung Army had already begun preparations when they decided to march south. Once necessary, they could be transferred to the pass at any time.
When Han Xin decided to place his first target on Qingbei, he had secretly sent a message to the Kwantung Army. However, in order to keep it secret, only a few people, including Wang Yu, Han Xin and Meng Tian, were involved in this matter.
A few people know.
In fact, even for Wang Yu, Han Xin killed first and then reported. He did things first and then reported.
If it were Li Jing or Xue Rengui, they might not be able to do this. If this person is Han Xin, he can definitely do it.
Han Xin, on the battlefield, would only think about how to win the battle, and would not think about things outside the battlefield.
"What I am worried about is not the 50,000 soldiers and horses of Qingnan and Heyang, but the soldiers of Tianshi Dao!"
Meng Tian looked far away in the south direction.
"Tianshi Dao!"
"Could it be that the general thought that Dongcang would ask Xuanyuanyan's court for help?" Bi Zaiyu said with a hint of anger.
You know, they only have 130,000 soldiers and horses at full strength, but King Wei's Dongcang small court, combined, has a full 250,000 soldiers and horses.
Under such circumstances, do you still have the dignity to ask for foreign aid?
"The small court in Dongcang is short of food!"
"As long as I and General Han Xin use defense instead of attack, in less than three months, the small court of Dongcang will be unable to survive. If it takes half a year, the small court of Dongcang will be defeated without a fight!"
"Therefore, in order to fight quickly, Dong Cang must ask the Xuanyuan Yan court for help."
When Han Xin decided to put his real target on Qing Bei, he had already preset the worst ending. And often, the facts are leading to the worst ending.
And if, as they expected, they pursued a quick battle, then how to win a quick battle would naturally rely on absolute power to suppress them.
No matter how you look at it, in Meng Tian's opinion, there is at least an 80% chance that Tianshi Dao will enter the scene.
"Therefore, in this battle, we will completely annihilate Dongcang's 80,000 troops!" Meng Tian said with a determined expression.
If there is only one Dongcang, whether it is Han Xin or Meng Tian, even if there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, they will still have enough confidence to deal with them, or even destroy them.
After all, Dongcang now only has one breath left.
However, it’s different when you add Tianshi Dao!
Tianshi Dao, although his vitality has been severely damaged in the past two years, the situation is much better than that in Dongcang.
At least, if it is a delaying tactic, they can drag Dongcang to death in half a year, but if it is Tianshi Dao, only half a year is not enough.
If this is the case, then Han Xin and Meng Tian will not be able to use the simple dragging technique.
Although procrastination is definitely the safest way. Although the situation in Tianshi Dao is better, after all, the vitality is seriously damaged. As long as you can endure it and procrastinate, it will take longer at most.
However, in this southern expedition, the main target of the Han Dynasty was, after all, Prince Jing's Zhongcang court. Therefore, it was impossible for them to really delay here for a year or two.
"If the Kwantung Army troops arrive, there will be no need to worry about the 80,000-strong army!" Bi Zaiyu nodded in agreement.
Although Meng Tian did not explicitly say how many soldiers and horses of the Kwantung Army he had transferred, the Kwantung Army, as the most powerful force pursued by the Han court, was definitely not as powerful as any of the soldiers of the Dongcang court.
Horses can be compared.
As for Dongcang, there was obviously laughter and laughter at this time.
After all, during the battle with Yang Zaixing, although Zhang Churang took the initiative to retreat, everyone could see that Zhang Churang's strength was definitely superior to that of Yang Zaixing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Churang retreated, firstly because he met a desperate person like Yang Zaixing, and secondly, because of the previous consumption.
In this battle, Zhang Churang was honored even though he was defeated!
Moreover, for Zhang Daozong, this battle successfully allowed them to detect Anubis, a character who was not within the scope of their intelligence.
However, his card is still in his hand and has not been exposed.
Therefore, as long as the next 50,000 troops arrive, Zhang Daozong can be said to be full of confidence in the upcoming battle.
During this period, Meng Tian also deliberately showed his eagerness to fight, intending to fight Zhang Daozong in advance before the opponent's follow-up troops arrived.
As for Zhang Daozong, at this time, he is naturally as stable as Mount Tai. Naturally, it is impossible for Mengtian to decide the defeat in advance, so as not to give others a chance to break up.
Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and 50,000 soldiers and horses from Qingnan and Heyang officially arrived. There was an atmosphere of confidence among the entire Dongcang Army, as if victory was certain.
However, at this moment, Mo Peng led the Yanbei Navy and entered Qingbei along the river. He suddenly inserted himself into the rear of Dongcang's soldiers and horses by water. This time, it was like stabbing Zhang Daozong directly in the heart.
.
"The actions of Meng Tian and Mo Peng really hit the vital points of our army!"
Zhang Daozong pointed at the map, where Mo Pengjun was now, as if he had a breath of depression in his heart that he couldn't spit out.
"General, after Mo Peng's troops have landed, they are just tigers without teeth, so why should we be afraid of him?" Meng Juehai asked very puzzledly.
Although he is not like Zhang Daozong, a famous general who is good at uniting the army in battle, he also knows that after these 30,000 people land ashore, their combat effectiveness cannot be calculated as 30,000.
In their decisive battle, the real trouble was always Meng Tian's 25,000 or so men, not Mo Peng's 30,000 navy, which was more numerous.
"snort!"
"If these 30,000 people accompany Meng Tian in a decisive battle with our army, our army will have at most 20,000 people, enough to defeat them!"
"But now, when they appear behind us, our army needs to be divided into at least 20,000 troops to defend against these 30,000 troops!" Zhang Daozong snorted angrily.
It takes up to 20,000 people to defeat the opponent, and it takes at least 20,000 troops to just watch and hold the opponent. Can this mean the same thing?
This group of soldiers and horses is at the back. They have at least 20,000 soldiers and horses, so they dare not act impulsively.
If these 30,000 people accompanied Meng Tian in the decisive battle, they would have a chance to take down the opponent together.
But now, the opponent is behind them, and the warship is cruising on the river without launching. Then, they must send troops and horses to guard to prevent these troops and horses from sneaking up on their rear in the middle of their battle.
And if these soldiers and horses do not participate in the battle this time, even if Meng Tian is defeated, these soldiers and horses can leave at any time, and they will not be able to pursue them even if they want to.
If this is the case, the outcome of this decisive battle will be greatly compromised.
The key is that if Mo Peng's soldiers and horses cannot be severely damaged, the Han Dynasty can harass them at any time in the coastal areas of Qingbei or Qingnan. At that time, after all, they can limit their large number of troops.
In this case, you will be passive.
After all, from the beginning, the strategy of Dongcang's small court was to defeat Meng Tian's troops in the shortest possible time, and then concentrate all their forces to confront Han Xin.
But if they cannot keep the Yanbei Navy, they will have to deploy a large number of troops for defense as long as the Yanbei Navy shows the tendency to harass their coastal areas.
At this time, even though Meng Tian's troops were defeated, their original strategic intentions were greatly compromised.
In the final analysis, from the perspective of everyone in the Dongcang small court, the threat in their battle does not lie with Meng Tian at all, but with Han Xin. Compared with Han Xin, who is famous all over the world, Meng Tian's light is too dim.
In addition, the number of troops Zhang Daozong could put on the frontal battlefield was at least 20,000 less, and Meng Tian also narrowed the strength gap between them.
However, this does not change Zhang Daozong's determination to fight decisively. The situation in the Dongcang court does not allow him to delay, so he can only fight quickly.
Furthermore, 60,000 vs. 25,000, the advantage is still on their side. However, it is not as big as before.
However, just when Zhang Daozong was confidently preparing for the decisive battle, Meng Tian's golden fire cavalry suddenly came out of the camp, and their whereabouts were unknown after that.
At this time, Zhang Daozong began to be in trouble again.
The Golden Fire Cavalry, let alone his, even within the small court of Dongcang, could not find a troop that could compete with the Golden Fire Cavalry.
Although there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses, the combat strength of this army and horses cannot be simply matched by 5,000 soldiers.
If these soldiers and horses suddenly burst out in the middle of a battle, they could even directly turn the tide of the battle.
Cards played head-on and cards played out from nowhere or at any time have completely different destructive power.
On the battlefield, I am not afraid of what you show with open swords and guns, but I am afraid of the cards you hide and don't know when to play.
Therefore, under the situation that the whereabouts of this army and horse are temporarily unknown, another 20,000 soldiers and horses must be sent not to move lightly and to be on guard at all times. Moreover, 20,000 soldiers and horses are still the minimum number.
You must know that Su Dingfang relied on 10,000 black cavalry to defeat Da Jian's 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses. Although the golden fire cavalry is not as famous as the black cavalry, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary soldiers and horses.
Now, and next, the power gap between the two sides in the decisive battle was once again narrowed by Meng Tian.
Although Zhang Daozong still maintained a twice-manpower advantage, he was inevitably a little confused after these events. Even his original confidence was shaken for the first time.
But the decisive battle is already imminent, and it has to be launched. Again, Dongcang cannot afford to delay it.
"Old General Zhang, I have to thank you for this battle, Old General!"
"If the old general takes action, at least two generals, Yang Zaixing, Pei Yuanqing, and Anubis, will take action against the general!"
"What happens next will be up to you, General Trouble!" On the eve of the decisive battle, Zhang Daozong stared at the two generals in front of him with a solemn expression.
Fortunately, he also hid a card here and did not play it!
Next, the most important thing about how to win this battle cleanly is how to make good use of this card.
"General, don't worry, even if two generals come together, I will kill him off the horse!" Although Zhang Churang's body is still wrapped in bandages, his heroic spirit remains unabated.
He even wanted to fight Yang Zaixing again.
He was confident that if it weren't for the previous attrition in the previous battle, even if Yang Zaixing used the mad dog style again, he would definitely be able to defeat him.
The general beside Zhang Churang also nodded silently.
After arranging all this, Zhang Daozong's entire army came out of the camp and rushed towards Meng Tian's troops with the power of swallowing up mountains and rivers.
