The sharp decline in the number of Ann Country was undoubtedly due to the miserable defeat of the Tiantu County. The appearance of a large number of fleeing soldiers was also one of the main reasons. Ann Country's national power was strong, but their military power was weak. This had almost become a tradition of Ann Country, a consensus of the world.
It was located in the middle east of the entire Haotian Empire, which was right next to the capital Shang Jing. It could be said that it was not adjacent to any foreign nation, and it had never been threatened by any foreign nation. Its citizens' lives were peaceful and comfortable, and on top of that, its position was in the center, connected in all directions, and was extremely suitable for business. After thousands of years of inheritances, the people of An possessed the character of a merchant and could endure hardships. People were also willing to go out, not caring about the four seasons of the year, but at the same time, they were self-serving, timid, weak, and had a weak state of mind. As far as the countries at that time were concerned, the cohesion of An people was the weakest.
In fact, this was very easy to understand as there were many Ann Country merchants who roamed the world all year round, so the concept of home was very light. If a single person did not even have a home in his heart, how could he talk about having a country?
In the Ann Country, recruiting troops was originally an extremely difficult task, and now that the war was at a disadvantage, with over two hundred thousand casualties in an instant, the appearance of the deserters was also a natural thing. Even many of the commoners who brought their families to flee from the Ann Country were present, and not a few were even a few.
It was exactly at this time when Chuan Army from the south also attacked into the Ann Country, which was greatly different from what Feng Country had imagined.
According to their understanding of Chuan Country, Chuan Country would not easily mobilize their forces and would not attack unless it was at the last moment. But this time, under the situation where their allies had the advantage in all aspects and their Feng Country had yet to participate in the battle, they decisively sent their forces to attack the safe haven.
Chuan Country actually had a huge difference as to whether or not they should send troops out now. Firstly, the situation was not completely clear yet. It would be disadvantageous for him to participate in the battle and reveal his intentions; secondly, and most importantly, these nobles believed that Chuan Country was not ready to wage a large-scale war yet. If they wanted to participate, they should wait until after the harvest to gather enough grain and grass.
However, the young and strong aristocrats of Chuan Country were of the same caliber and all agreed that the nation should immediately join the war.
Their reasons are good. Whether the situation is clear or not, even if Huan Jun is at a complete disadvantage, how can they just ignore it?" Since they were going to send out troops sooner or later, why did they have to be so passive until the very end? Secondly, our side doesn't have enough grain right now, but Wind and An are not much better off. After autumn harvest, our side will have more than enough grain, so won't we also have enough grain to store up in both Wind and An countries? "" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It was a good time for them to fight for the spoils of war. If An Ran were to be defeated by a family of Huan Kingdom and none of them were to send a single soldier, how could you have the face to ask Huan Kingdom for the territory of An Ran? I'm afraid they won't even give you a county or a city.
Amongst the young nobles participating in the main battle, there was a large group of young talents gathered. Among them, there were two that had a Marquis position, while there were more than ten that had the title of Count.
They could be considered as the new and rising forces within Chuan Country, and were more ambitious, hot-blooded, and fond of Chuan Country than the old nobles.
The influence of the old nobles had been deeply rooted in the Chuan Country, and sometimes even King Chuan Xiao Xuan could not do anything about them. This time, he actually intended to use the young and strong nobles to suppress the old and powerful nobles, and promote the young and strong so that the authority of the imperial court would not fall into the hands of the old and strong nobles. Also, he herself agreed with the young and strong nobles' decision.
If the fighting strength of Huan Army was considered one, then the fighting strength of Chuan Army was equivalent to a hundred, and the fighting strength of Ann Country was undoubtedly negative one hundred.
Following the assault of the Chuan Army, the southern part of the Ann Country suddenly fell into the brink of collapse. A large number of Ann Army fled without fighting, and their fleeing speed was even faster than the citizens in the wilderness.
As the emergency documents from Ann Country was passed down to Tang Yin like snowflakes, he immediately gathered the generals together the whole night and began to discuss the strategy and tactics of his side.
Chuan Country's unusual change made all the Generals feel extremely surprised, especially Nie Ze. He was the one who had initially judged that Chuan Country would not swiftly participate in the battle, but the reality was the complete opposite of what he had predicted.
Feng Army Camp, within the Central Army Tent. At this time, Tang Yin had not arrived yet, but all the generals of Feng Country were kneeling at the sides, discussing amongst themselves. All of them were not optimistic about the outcome of the battle.
Just from the start of the battle, the total military strength of the two countries had already neared a million, and with such a large number of enemy troops, Ann Army was almost impossible to count on, and they could only rely on Feng Country to deal with them alone. One could imagine the difficulty of this battle.
Even Jiang Fan, who usually did not like to talk in military meetings, could not help but ask Xiao Muqing: "General Xiao, how should our army fight against the two armies?"
Hearing his question, the other people stopped talking and all looked at Xiao Muqing at the same time. If one were to say who could be assigned as the famous marshal of Feng Country as the first, then Xiao Muqing was naturally unwilling to accept such treatment.
Xiao Muqing's face was solemn as he muttered to himself for a long time. Then, he extended two fingers and said: "We need to do two things. First, ask the Yu Country for reinforcements, and ask for the Yu Country to send reinforcements. Then we will have to rely on our own Ann Country.
After listening to Xiao Muqing's analysis, everyone present all nodded their heads, feeling that what he said was reasonable. Shangguan Yuan sneered and said: "Why would the Ann Country give its two hundred thousand troops to our country to command? "From my point of view, I don't think those 200,000 can be counted on."
"That's right!" Wu Ying continued: "Even if you were to really give us those two hundred thousand Ann Army, our Ann Army is still our Ann Army. Not only will our Ann Army not help our army, it will only implicate our army and become a burden to them."
Even the weapons used by the small soldiers below are made of fine steel, and the armor is extremely sturdy and exquisite, making people drool. However, the moment we enter the battlefield, the entire army seems to have turned into a wooden man, being slaughtered by others without being able to fight back, being able to form an alliance with the Ann Country. Shangguan Yuan was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke. In the end, he hit the ground heavily with his hammer, producing a dull thud.
"It's precisely because our Ann Country is weak that we have to form an alliance with them. This is also the reason why we have to suffer first!" Following the voice, Tang Yin walked in with large strides from outside the Central Army Tent. At the same time, he untied the rope around his neck, shook off his outer cloak, and threw it over to Ah San who was behind him.
"Great King!" Seeing that Tang Yin had arrived, everyone immediately shut their mouths, straightened their bodies, sat on the ground and bowed. Then, seeing that Yin Rou had followed them in, they saluted once again and said in unison: "Princess."
Tang Yin pulled Yin Rou and sat down in the middle of the room. Then, he waved his hand towards Ah Si, took the thick stack of documents and threw it onto the handsome table. He said in a deep voice, "King An, Yue Ze is now like an ant on a hot pan, in a single day, you all can say 12 books.
"Great King, now we must fight! Looking at the current situation of the battle, if our army does not participate, within three months, the Imperial Town of the nation's capital will be breached! " Xiao Muqing took the lead and said.
"Three months? Muqing, you are overestimating your Ann Country. If it can endure for another month, I can even take off my head to give it to you. "
Shangguan Yuan snorted disdainfully at the battle power of Ann Army. He felt that even if a mob of bandits were to gather together, their battle power would not be any weaker than that of Ann Army.
"That's right!" Tang Yin nodded, and said: "If my army does not participate, our Ann Country will be defeated very quickly." After a pause, he said, "Since everyone thinks that we should participate, then how should we fight?"2
Wu Ying hurriedly said: "Just now, General Xiao has already analyzed it. On one hand, our army needs to rescue Yu Country, and let Yu Country send troops to assist them. On the other hand, we need to rescue Ann Army from the Mei City, and let us temporarily take over."
listened while nodding, and felt that Xiao Muqing's suggestion was not bad. Pulling up Yu Country, this was something that he had to do, rescuing two hundred thousand Ann Army was also their own first priority.
Without waiting for him to speak, Nie Ze, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke: "Our army has also split up and dispatched an army to enter the borders of the Ann Country, to eliminate the Huan Army that we have taken over there. Otherwise, if we allow this Huan Army to descend south, and enter the depths of the Ann Country, it will cause the situation in the Ann Country to become even more chaotic. "
"Makes sense." Tang Yin nodded his head, and asked: "Then, how do General Nie think we should split up our forces?"
Nie Ze said: "Huan Army's encirclement is not very large, the King only needs to send out her Pingyuan Army, it's enough to break the siege, the Huan Army that invades the Tiantu County is the enemy's main force, this humble subject wants to use Battle-tested Army to fight it out with him!"
His words might sound fine to others, but Xiao Muqing felt that it was ear-piercing.
The people who surrounded Mei City were only a small number of people. They wanted to let their own Pingyuan Army fight, but the main force of the enemy troops wanted to fight with Battle-tested Army. Wasn't this clearly saying that Pingyuan Army could not compare to his!
