In the last war, Chu Xizhao was defeated and died. Only 12 of the 450,000 soldiers who participated in the war returned. In addition to the 60,000 soldiers and horses that Chu Xizhao originally stayed in Tianqishan and Youping City, today's Tianqi Mountain
There are still 180,000 imperial troops on the Qishan front line.
In addition, there are still 60,000 forbidden troops in the imperial capital, and the Wei Pass in the north of Henan Province and the Yang Pass in the south have a total of 40,000 troops.
Da Cang decided to locate the imperial capital within Henan Road. The simple reason was that Henan Road was surrounded by dangers from all directions.
There is Weiguan in the north, and behind Weiguan there is a big river that separates Henan Road from Hebei Road, and there are dangers in the mountains and rivers. The reason why the coalition forces chose to abandon the mountains instead of attacking Henan Road from the south is very important.
Considerations.
In addition, if they choose to attack from Hebei Road to Henan Road, both the Three Kings and Xuanyuan Huang will need to bear huge logistical pressure, especially Xuanyuan Huang, whose territory is in the southeast corner of Da Cang.
From Tokaido to Hebei Road, it spans almost half of the country. Considering this aspect, Guangyin is the center of several princes, and the logistical pressure is relatively small.
There is Yang Pass in the south and Liang Pass in the west. Although there are no these gates in the east, a towering Tianqi Mountain is more terrifying than these gates.
There is no need to build any checkpoints in Tianqi Mountain. Just guarding key places is more deterrent than those checkpoints.
According to the news received by the coalition forces, after the news of Chu Xizhao's defeat spread, the old emperor Huangfuyue led 50,000 imperial troops and 100,000 imperial troops back to Henan Road as quickly as possible.
Since there was almost no rest in between, troop carriers were used all the way. Under full march, in just seven days, the old emperor had crossed Guandong Road and Hexi Road, and reached Henan as quickly as possible.
road.
The old prince had to worry. Chu Xizhao was defeated and died. Even if he was not present, he could imagine how low the morale of the remaining soldiers had dropped.
Military God Chu Xizhao, perhaps in the hearts of many Forbidden Army soldiers, is a god-like existence who is victorious in every battle. How many enemies have trembled under his shadow in his life?
However, now, not only has this god been defeated, but he himself has also died. The final result is that the higher he stands, the harder he falls.
If he returns too late, once the Tianqishan defense line is broken, hundreds of thousands of rebels will face the imperial capital.
Moreover, the old emperor ordered one hundred thousand troops to garrison outside Yangguan and Liangguan respectively. The remaining soldiers had already garrisoned in the imperial city and Weiguan. He himself did not rest day and night. He only stayed in the imperial city for one day and made arrangements.
After the incident, they had already arrived at the front line of Tianqi Mountain.
In short, in today's Henan Province, Huangfu Mingzhao's court still maintains 330,000 imperial troops and 100,000 government soldiers, which does not include the 150,000 government soldiers facing Zhenbei Prefecture.
After experiencing such a disastrous defeat, the Huangfu Mingzhao court still maintained such a strong force, which shows the dynasty's heritage.
However, tigers cannot hold back a pack of wolves. The 150,000 government troops mobilized by Hedong, Hexi and other three provinces are indeed unable to compare with the heroic and capable Zhenbei Army in terms of combat strength. With more than twice the strength, they are still not the Zhenbei Army.
The opponent didn't even have the confidence to fight the Zhenbei Army in the field.
In the west, now that the Zhenxi Army is no longer oppressed by the old emperor, it is obvious that they will soon join in this grand event of fierce tigers fighting against packs of wolves.
In the east, there is the largest enemy of Huangfu Mingzhao's court. Although the coalition forces killed a thousand and suffered 800 losses, they still maintained a strength of 530,000. Moreover, this did not include the Tianshi. The remaining 120,000 second-rate cannon fodder troops.
Moreover, it is almost impossible for the Huangfu Mingzhao Court to have any reinforcements. Although Zhendong Mansion and Zhennan Mansion have not betrayed the Huangfu Mingzhao Court, the Huangfu Mingzhao Court clearly looks like the sun is about to set, so these two It is really difficult to destroy a huge family that has been passed down for hundreds of years together with the Huangfu Mingzhao court!
Furthermore, Da Gan sent out troops, and the momentum of the troops was stronger than before. Last time, they only dispatched Lei Zhaohai, who was ranked 12th on the Dragon Tiger Ranking, but this time, there were also Lei Zhaohai, who was ranked 12th on the Dragon Tiger Ranking. The Cang Mang Gui General Zhang Xuanliang ranked twenty-fourth.
You know, this guy is two places higher than Yan Ba on the Dragon Tiger Ranking, and Yan Ba is only ranked twenty-sixth.
In addition, there are two other people who entered the Dragon Tiger Ranking and participated in this battle, but those two people have been ranked outside the 50th place, and there is a high probability that they are basically just some junior god-level warriors. Well, these two people are the blood wolf general Lang Han. It is said that this one is a child raised by wild wolves in the mountains and forests. I don’t know if it is true or not. The other is the hammer general Bai Jiwu. After hearing this, He is a strong man who uses his strength to overwhelm others.
With an army of 600,000, and combined with these four unparalleled generals, Zhennan Mansion is in big trouble this time! It's a pity that no one in Da Cang can take care of him at this time.
Faced with such a crisis, Ma Sui no longer cared about being reserved and sent several letters asking for help to his master.
However, there were very few responders.
There are only a few people in Renjiao. Except for those who have gone down the mountain, the rest cannot be called out even if you want to. At least, Ma Sui doesn't have this face anyway. If it were his master, Maybe we can even call the remaining few people down.
Chanjiao did not take this letter asking for help seriously at all. Because there is a fundamental conflict in the ideas between Chanjiao and Jiejiao, the relationship between the two sects has never been good? On the surface, maybe after meeting , a senior brother is a senior brother but a junior senior brother is short, but the internal contradictions are deep!
Tianzong, they are similar to human sects, most of them are dedicated to cultivating Taoism, and they have quite a sense of inaction!
The Renzong has too deep entanglements with the secular world, such as Dacan Longhu Mountain and Daqian Wudang Mountain. These are the sphere of influence of the Renzong, and they are also the most important forces. They are basically entangled with the dynasties of all parties. , do not move lightly.
The only people that Ma Sui could turn to for help were his fellow disciples from the Jie Jiao sect, but even among those from the Jie Jiao sect, there were many people who were invisible and could not be contacted in a short period of time.
Those who could be contacted were mostly heavenly beings and were of little use on the battlefield. Of course, after all, Jiejiao had always been a typical representative group with a large number of people, and Ma Sui was still able to pull over a few people.
It doesn't matter what the situation of the Zhennan Army is, whether the coalition forces care or not. After all, they can't care about it now. After all, after Chu Xizhao, the battle between the coalition forces and the old emperor is about to begin!
