C1989 Final volume
Regarding the response from the Chuan Country, of course, the Feng Country was not satisfied, and the Feng Country Court also wanted to make use of this matter to make life difficult for the Chuan Country. After that, Feng Country insisted that it was Chuan Army that had robbed and killed the merchant caravan, so Chuan Country had to hand over the murderer.
Chuan Country felt very innocent for this, and could not hand over the culprit. Not long after Imperial Court of Chuan Country rejected Feng Country's unreasonable request, Feng Country suddenly tore off all decorum, and declared war on Chuan Country without any forewarning.
On the second day of the declaration of war, the Feng Country s that were already gathering their power began to descend towards the south, invading the borders of the Chuan Country.
Feng Country were formed by two different routes. Pingyuan Army, Heavenly Eagle Army, Huwei Army, as a whole road, a total of four legions from Shang Jing dispatched troops, attacking the Chuan Country of the Thunder Marsh County.
Sanshui Army, Feilong Army, Ninth Army, and Huben Army were used as separate routes. Altogether, four legions of Chuankou County were set up in the south, attacking the Chuan Country s.
From the troops sent out by the Feng Country, it could be seen that the Feng Country had long since been prepared to invade the Chuan Country. The Lightning Ze County of Chuan Country had many rivers and marsh areas, so the four legions that the Feng Country had sent out were all infantry legions.
As for Chuan Country, it was a flat plain that was flat on horseback, so the troops sent out Feng Country were mainly cavalry, supported by infantry, while the Ninth Army and Huben Army, with one being the Heavy Cavalry army and the other being the light cavalry, were all put into here.
Behind the eight great legions, there was still the Twelfth Army, led by Liu Zhang. And further back, there were Directly Subordinate Army and Battle-tested Army standing guard, fully equipped and ready to go.
It could be said that other than Chifeng Army, Feng Country had already invested all of the available troops into this battle of Chuan Country.
Li Shu, who had already allied himself with Feng Country, was naturally unwilling to be left behind. He did not need to find any excuses for Chuan Country to send troops, nor did he declare war ahead of time, and directly sent an army to support Chuan Country.
Li Shu ordered Yin Li to hold the command and lead the army. With a total of four hundred thousand troops, the west side of the Chuan Country attacked Jingyang County.
In a short period of time, the clouds in the Chuan Country changed, and the situation sank into a precarious situation. It was already very difficult for Chuan Country to withstand the combined attacks of the Feng Country of eight legions, not to mention the four hundred thousand Chastity Army soldiers who were fighting on the west side, who were not inferior to Feng Country at all.
Imperial Court of Chuan Country made an emergency response, appointing Ren Fang as the commander, leading 400,000 troops to head to the three counties of Sichuan to defend against the invasion of Pingyuan Army, Heavenly Eagle Army, Huwei Army and Feiyu Army, and also appointing Bu Ying as the commander, leading 400,000 troops to defend against the invasion of Sanshui Army, then appointing Jin Zhuo as the assistant commander, Yang Zhao and Lv You as the vice commander, leading 400,000 troops to the west to defend against the invasion of Chuan Army.
Suddenly, he had dispatched over ten troops to defend against the enemy, and now, he was lacking in Chuan Country as well. It was at this time that voices of complaints and complaints slowly came from inside and outside the imperial court.
Many People of Chuan Country believed that in order to consolidate Xiao Xiang's throne, it was a huge mistake to ban Family Army. Now that foreign enemies had invaded Chuan Country, just Central Army alone was insufficient, and if there were Family Army present, Chuan Country would not only be a passive state.
Family Army was originally a double-edged sword. In terms of dealing with external enemies, Family Army was obviously useful, but at the same time, it also caused internal strife among the factions within Chuan Country.
It was difficult to judge whether or not Xiao Xiang was right or wrong about banning Family Army, but there was one thing that was certain. She had wrongly judged the grave situation Chuan Country was facing, and at least the timing wasn't too suitable.
No matter what, Family Army had already disappeared, and now that he was faced with the invasion of the two strong enemies, Feng Zhen's Chuan Country could only use Central Army to fight.
By the time Ren Fang had led four hundred thousand Chuan Army and rushed to the three counties of Northern Sichuan, the Feng Army had already overrun the entire Thunder Valley. The scale of the battle was not very big. Seeing that there were a lot of Chuan Army, took the initiative and retreated. Afterwards, Ren Fang seized the opportunity and pushed his way to the Yi Su Country, where he began a decisive battle with the Main Force of Feng Army inside the Yi Su Country.
Both sides were of equal strength and were not far apart in terms of strength. In this competition, what was going on was purely the strategy and leadership skills of the two generals, Xiao Muqing and Ren Fang.
The two armies fought back and forth, fighting no less than ten battles in the small battles, both sides had wins and losers, both sides seemed to have lost, and they were on par with each other, but Feng Army was a battle in a different place after all, and Chuan Army was a battle in a different place, so under the advantage of land and people, they were even with Feng Army, so it was clear that Chuan Army was slightly inferior.
However, the Chuan Army that Ren Fang was leading was already the best of the best. On the other side, Bu Ying was leading four hundred thousand Chuan Army s who were rushing towards the Bianyang County.
To be able to invade the depths of the Chuan Country without anyone noticing, and to dare to launch an attack against the four hundred thousand strong army, was precisely the Huben Army. Huben Army was the original Cavalry Regiment, and after that, when Feng Country swallowed up Mo Country, they also conveniently took over this Huben Army that had long been renowned throughout the world.
It passed through several counties of the Chuan Country as if it had entered a place devoid of people. Not even the various local armies had the time to organize an effective blockade as the Huben Army had already flown past them.
When the Huben Army had completely launched its surprise attack, the urgent military information sent out by the various officials finally reached Bu Ying.
This also meant that the speed of his Huben Army had already surpassed the speed of his Chuan Country sending messages, this point was just too terrifying, and Bu Ying had no choice but to mutter in pain.
Huben Army's sneak attack didn't injure too much of Chuan Army, and their goal wasn't to fight to the death against the main force of Chuan Army either. Their goal was to Chuan Army's accompanying food and armor.
After a surprise attack, half of the Chuan Army's rations and military assets were destroyed by the Huben Army, causing the speed of the Chuan Army's march to be slowed down. Bu Ying could only helplessly order the entire army to temporarily remain at their original positions, and wait for the rear to resupply before continuing to head north to meet the enemy.
The attack on the Sichuan army had nothing to do with Buying's abilities. After all, he was a man, not a god, and it was impossible for him to be a prophet. No one could have imagined that he would be ambushed by a large number of enemy troops in his own country, in a place devoid of enemies.
The four hundred thousand Chuan Army under Bu Ying's command lost the match before even coming into contact with the Main Force of Feng Army, and were dragged firmly into the interior of the Chuan Country.
As for Jin Zhuo's road of Chuan Army, it was a path of battle the hardest.2
It was possible that the continuous defeat of Zhen Country had left a shadow in People of Chuan Country's heart. In this battle against the Chastity Army, Chuan Army had appeared to be very careful, even in their own country they were cautious to the point of being cautious.
But even so, his Chuan Army was still heavily injured. Regarding the carefully warring Chuan Army, Yin Li didn't even pay it any heed as he led the troops and went straight around the Chuan Army, straight into the heart of the Chuan Country.
In the battlefield, most likely only the People of Zhen Country would dare to fight like this, as they were not afraid of their side's logistics supply line being broken or of being surrounded by enemies, and would just barge in without a care.
Chuan Army had originally planned to hold the Chastity Army back so that it would not be able to invade the Chuan Country itself. However, they did not expect the Chastity Army to make a move.
This time, the Chuan Army was in a panic. If he allowed this army of virgins to invade the interior of the Chuan Country, who knows how many cities they would slaughter, how many civilians would be killed, and even four hundred thousand soldiers would be able to attack the Zhaoyang in one go.
At this time, even if Chuan Army was not willing to fight the Chastity Army head on, Jin Zhuo could only give the order for the entire army to chase down the Chastity Army.
As a result, seeing that the Chuan Army was no longer defending the encampment but was instead being chased by the entire army, Yin Li immediately rushed back on his horse and turned back, ready to fight against the Chuan Army that was chasing him.
On one side was a prepared and relaxed battle, and on the other side was a desperate and hasty battle. One could imagine the final outcome of this battle.
The Chuan Army was once again utterly defeated by the Chastity Army. Four hundred thousand soldiers were chased for over a hundred kilometers, and in the end, all of them were defeated by the Provincial Capital of the Shi Ling County, Feng Wu's area.
Seeing that the Chuan Army had shrunk outside of Feng Wu and could not be avoided, Yin Li commanded the Chastity Army to attack the surrounding cities and counties. In the end, only Feng Wu was left as the city, as if she planned to trap the Chuan Army in Feng Wu's body to death.
The Chuan Army that was led by Jin Zhuo could not fight, and they could not defend this city either. In the end, they could only ask for reinforcements from the Zhaoyang, and ask for reinforcements from the imperial government.
Ren Fang's army, which had not fought with Feng Army yet, had actually suffered an attack on its rations and military assets. Furthermore, the cavalry, which had to contend with Feng Country for food and resources from the imperial government, was now in an even more miserable state. Not to mention that they had been defeated by the Chastity Army, they were also trapped in the Ling County, Feng Wu, and were on the verge of complete annihilation.
With regards to the current predicament, Xiao Xiang and Imperial Court of Chuan Country were both in dire straits, unable to come up with any ideas. Right now, there were less than three Battle Legions that could still be deployed with Chuan Country, and most of them were new recruits, how were they going to split the two hundred thousand odd soldiers and horses? Was it to give to Ren Fang, or to Bu Ying, or to Bu Ying? If he sent out all of these more than two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, the Zhaoyang would become an empty city. Once there was a sneak attack, not to mention defending, the Zhaoyang would not even have the ability to protect itself.
The people from the Wang Sun Clan within the Zhaoyang City all agreed that they would not send out the rest of the troops, but if they did not send out their reinforcements, what if the three armies led by Ren Fang, Bu Ying and his generals could not hold out against the enemy?
Now, Xiao Xiang had no idea. Under the enemy's suppression, all sorts of opportunistic tactics were useless, even if he had all sorts of political schemes and schemes, they were all useless at this point in time.
In these past few days, Xiao Xiang had truly felt a strong sense of pressure. It was not because she could preserve her throne, but because her Chuan Country had already reached a point of life and death.
That night, late at night, Xiao Xiang still had not fallen asleep. She was in the palace's study room, flipping through the reports of battle that had been passed to him from ahead. There were so many war reports. Even if they were put together, they would still be extremely high. Yet, not a single one of them was good news, and they were all urgent documents.
