Dong Sheng reminded Shao Fang, the fact that Feng Country was stationed at the border definitely not to scare them, but to attack them on a large scale. Shao Fang, on the other hand, felt that Dong Sheng was a coward who was afraid of death,
It could be said that in the current Mo Country court, Dong Sheng was the only one who dared to speak ill of Shao Fang. Looking around at the other ministers, all of them picked out what Shao Fang liked to hear, they only knew how to praise and praise others, but no one was able to say good words.
But unfortunately, Dong Sheng was still angered by Shao Fang and the relationship between the two of them thus dropped to the freezing point.
At the same time Shao Fang left Dong Sheng alone, the news spread quickly. The Mo Country's five hundred thousand strong army and the Ann Country's five hundred thousand strong army were at the same level of strength as a hot knife through butter. They had consecutively attacked two counties and over a dozen cities of the Yu Country.
Based on the joint forces of the two nations' advancing speed, it was estimated that they would not even need two months to reach the Jade Capital's Kangyang. As long as they managed to seize the Kangyang, the Yu Country would fall apart and become the property of the two nations.
The consecutive victories in front caused Shao Fang's confidence in the Mo Country And Ann Country army to increase. Back then, when Mo Country and Feng Country joined hands to attack Ning, the battle was not as smooth as it was now. From this, it could be seen that Ann Army's combat strength was not weaker than Feng Army. But he had forgotten one thing, how could the Ning Country of the past be compared to the present?
Mo Country And Ann Country's two great armies were still continuously pushing forward towards the belly of the Yu Country, while Feng Army's side had already begun preparing to send out their Ba Pass to enter the Mo Country.
As the vanguard army, Pingyuan Army was already feeling the increasing pressure, and whether or not Main Force of Feng Army could smoothly advance to Mo Country was directly related to whether or not they could win in battle.
Before sending out the troops, Xiao Muqing gathered all of the strategists under his command and discussed the details of the battle in Mo.
Other than the Huben Army which possessed extraordinary fighting strength, there were also two hundred thousand Central Army s and several tens of thousands of local troops stationed at the northern part of the Mo Country. With such a large number of forces, it was not something to be looked down upon, and if these several hundred thousand troops were to gather together, there would be no need to fight anymore.
Among the two hundred thousand Central Army, one of them was located in Yangchuan City while the other one was stationed in Bailin City. Although both of these cities belong to the border of town, one was in the east and the other was in the west, which were a few hundred kilometers away from each other.
It could be said that this town was an important one, directly facing the Feng Country. In reality, it was about the same as the town, because not only was its surface area large, its walls were also tall. The North of City had a twenty-meter high watchtower, and it could be said that as long as one left the Ba Pass, one would be able to enter the monitoring range of the Xiashui Town tens of kilometers south. The moment enemy was discovered, the Xiashui Town's beacon platform would immediately light up, and the troops who received the message would rush over from the east and west to reinforce them.
The two cities, one in each other, coordinated with each other from afar. They moved one on one, and it was easy to defend but hard to attack. Furthermore, they even had the support of Huben Army which exceeded their combat capabilities. There was a reason why Shao Fang was not afraid of the Feng Army going south.
It looked like the Mo Country's defense was extremely tight and perfect, but in Xiao Muqing's eyes, it was filled with fighting spirit.
He said to the generals and strategists under his command: "This time, the King gave our Pingyuan Army to us as the vanguard, and has placed great importance on us, so we cannot let the King down. For this battle, we must make a good start, and win it with a good flag, all brothers, tell us, how should we fight this battle?"
The Pingyuan Army Elder Kong Xiao interjected and bowed, then said: "General, our army can directly take the Xiashui Town, and tear open the Mo Army's defensive line from the center."
"General Kong, don't be rash. Xiashui Town is not that easy to attack!" The Counsellor Zhang Ting said: "There are over fifty thousand troops stationed at the Xiashui Town, and the city is sturdy, so the enemy forces will defend it, making it hard for our army to break through in such a short period of time. Also, the Yangchuan on the east and west sides are less than three hundred Li away, once the enemy forces from the two cities come to reinforce us, they can surround our army."
Kong Xiao said in a trembling voice, "Battling is fighting morale! To defeat the enemy, we need to break through the hardest part of the enemy's defenses. Only by doing this can our army display our military might and morale, and overpower our enemy's momentum. The following battles will be much easier. "
Xiao Muqing nodded his head, this was the experience of a hundred battles! Fighting was a battle of morale. As long as one could defeat the enemy in terms of morale, winning a million battles and winning a hundred thousand battles were not difficult. Seeing that Zhang Ting was still going to speak, Xiao Muqing waved his hand and said: "I feel that General Kong is right.
"General ?" Zhang Ting still felt that attacking Xiashui Town was too risky.
Xiao Muqing smiled, tapped his forehead and said: "Of course, even if you want to fight Xiashui Town, you cannot do it recklessly, you have to know how to use your brain."
Everyone asked in unison, "General, you mean ?"
Xiao Muqing bit his lips and thought for a while, then said faintly: "Pretend to attack Xiashui Town, and split your troops into two, and ambush on the path that Yangchuan and its reinforcements must take to enter the water."
Everyone's spirits were lifted. Zhang Ting suddenly realized and said, "General, you mean..." Surrounding and reinforcements? "
"That's right!" Xiao Muqing sneered and said: "The main strength of the Mo Country border guards is on the two hundred thousand Central Army s. As long as our army consumes this two hundred thousand Central Army s, the local army within the Xiashui Town is not enough to be feared. No matter how strong the troops are or how strong the city guards are, they are just a bunch of pigs and sheep that have washed their bodies and are waiting for our army to go slaughter them!"
Hearing this, everyone grinned. The below was also a hundred times more ambitious. Everyone rubbed their fists and ground their palms, wishing that they could immediately rush out and fight a decisive battle with the Mo Army.
Xiao Muqing raised his head, bowed slightly, and said: "General Wu Guang?"
Although Tang Yin had sent Wu Guang over for him to order, the two of them were of the same rank, so Xiao Muqing was still very courteous to Wu Guang.
Wu Guang also bowed, and asked: "What are General Xiao's orders?"
Xiao Muqing said in a serious tone: "I will hand over the first, fourth, fifth and eighth squads to General Wu, who will lead four squads of troops to ambush between the Yangchuan s." After saying that, he stood up and walked over to the sand table. Lowering his head to look, he pointed out and said: "There are many coasts here, so it's easy to hide the troops. General Wu can lead their troops to ambush here and ambush Mo Country reinforcements!"
Wu Guang listened as he nodded. After Xiao Muqing finished speaking, he replied: "Okay! I'll take care of the enemy that passes through here. "0
Xiao Muqing laughed, then cupped his hands and said: "General Jiang Fan?"
"Here!" Jiang Fan stood up and walked forward.
Xiao Muqing said: "I will hand over the second, third, sixth, and seventh legions to you. You can lead your troops and ambush them in the dense forest from the Bailin to the depths of the water.
Jiang Fan remained expressionless as he replied indifferently, "Don't worry, General Xiao."
With the help of Wu Guang and Jiang Fan, Xiao Muqing had saved him a lot of trouble. The most important thing was that Wu Guang and Jiang Fan were both powerful generals, whether it was in a one-on-one fight or in a lead battle, they could be considered outstanding.
After arranging the troops properly, Xiao Muqing said: "The rest of the Ninth and Tenth Legion follow me to attack the water. In this battle, although we are only pretending to attack, but we still need to display our aura, to let the enemy think that our main force is attacking."
"This lowly general understands!" The ninth and tenth regiment commander joined in.
Before even leaving the Ba Pass, Pingyuan Army had already drawn up a specific plan to devour all of the Mo Country within the border guards in one breath.
Pingyuan Army was not a group that only knew how to charge headfirst. Every time, before a war, Xiao Muqing would negotiate with his subordinates repeatedly, finalizing the details of the battle one by one. Once they started, Pingyuan Army only needed to be implemented according to plan.
On the second day of the first month, the one hundred thousand Pingyuan Army s majestically released their Ba Pass. More than ten cavalry units, like more than ten sharp swords, had already entered the desert, swept through the Mo Country and small strongholds along the way, paving the way for the main forces of the rear to enter.
The Feng Army had been prepared for a long time, so they knew all the posts that had been placed in the area. When the cavalry unit moved, it was like a whirlwind had swept through the clouds, pulling out all the posts and locations one by one.
The news of the invasion of the Feng Army quickly spread to the Xiashui Town. Currently, the ones in charge of the Xiashui Town were the Draconians' orders, and the Draconians' orders were slightly higher in rank than the Regiments', so they were directly appointed and dispatched by the Imperial Court. The fifty thousand local troops that were stationed at the Xiashui Town were all under Hu Diao's command.
After hearing the news about Feng Army heading south, Hu Diao was frightened stiff, and immediately asked for reports: "How many people does Feng Army exist in total? Which legion? "
"Reporting to Grand Marshal Hu, the Feng Army troop is no less than a hundred thousand, the military flag carried the name 'Plains' and 'Xiao', so it should be the main force of Feng Country." The scout anxiously replied.
After Hu Diao finished listening, his three souls and seven souls almost left his body out of shock. If his Pingyuan Army was here, then what could he do? What kind of army was Pingyuan Army? It was the most elite, most valiant and most ruthless army. He hastily asked: "Which direction did the Pingyuan Army go in?"
"This... "This ?" The spy stammered for a long time without uttering a word.
"Tell me!"
"Reporting to General, Pingyuan Army is indeed approaching towards our Xiashui Town."
"Huh?" If it were another army, he could still guard Xiashui Town and even dare to leave the city to fight. But the enemy was Pingyuan Army, so how can a small Xiashui Town defend against him?
He did not need to use Pingyuan Army to feign offense, but just by hearing the name of Pingyuan Army, Hu Li was already scared out of his wits, and quickly ignited the tower, but even so, he was still worried. He immediately sent spies to ride their horses to the Yangchuan to ask for help, as long as they arrived before the Pingyuan Army, they would be able to protect their own Xiashui Town.
