Even Ya Ning had to admire the swiftness of the Tang Army's offensive, and the choice of breakthrough point was Qianfeng Ridge. This never occurred to Ya Ning. It was expected that a ten-thousand-person team of the Seventh Corps would be wiped out. Since the Tang Army dared to choose Qianfeng Ridge, Fengling broke through and only lost a team of 10,000 people, which was already a good result.
But this is just the beginning. Yaning believes this. The central mountains of Romania are the key to victory. From Jiasi to Reya, Yaning is fully prepared. More than 100,000 troops rely on these two This main city, no matter where the Tang army broke through, no matter how fast they marched, they would eventually have to face Jiasi or Geia. The territory of the former Kingdom of Naples across the central part of Ronisia would become their Insurmountable obstacles, attacking in the east or moving the tiger away from the mountain have no meaning for Yaning. The 180,000 troops and sufficient logistical supplies are enough to give him enough confidence to continue this war until all the Tang army's vitality is exhausted. and vigor.
What surprised Yaning was that the intelligence showed that the Tang army seemed to have slowed down after breaking through his first line of defense. The adjustment of the army also made him a little puzzled. The number of Tang troops under Jiaxi City was constantly growing. However, the Tang Army on the Reya City side only maintained a certain amount of pressure. Could it be that the Tang Army wanted to focus its attack on Jiaxi City in the south? It seems that it is not the style of the Tang army to reveal their combat intentions so early. Making false claims in the east and in the west to conceal the truth is the most common tactic of the cunning Tang people. However, the road from Reya City to Jiaxi City is rugged and difficult. The Tang army had to alternately cover this section of the journey, and the soldiers' physical strength was somewhat difficult.
The walls of Jiaxi City may not be as thick as Reya City, but Yaning has already deployed the two most elite corps there, and has also prepared a reserve team of the corps. If the Tang Army wants to launch an attack from Jiaxi City, then The price paid must have been extremely heavy. Yaning has absolute confidence in this. But it seems impossible that the Tang army would not have thought of this, unless they really wanted to attack forcefully at all costs, or were they deliberately attracting their main force to force themselves to mobilize troops from Reya City to reinforce Jiaxi, and then attack in the east and in the west? This intention was too obvious. Tang Jun would not think that this could achieve his goal. Yaning was also a little confused by the current situation.
However, Yan Ning had already made up his mind to remain unchanged in the face of all changes. No matter how the Tang army changed its tactics, Jiaxi and Reya were not easy to win. He had also put in great efforts on the defense facilities of these two cities. . It took a lot of effort, and he also wanted to let the corpses and blood of the Tang army test the combat effectiveness of his army and the power of the city's defense facilities.
An ocher-brown map hangs on the wall. Yaning leisurely enjoys the black tea produced in the mountains of southern Ronisia. This black tea is somewhat different from the green tea produced in the south of the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty. The black tea that has been fermented twice has a richer taste. . It is especially suitable to be enjoyed after lunch and dinner, which can fully dissolve the fat in the stomach. Green tea seems to be more suitable to be enjoyed after waking up in the morning to clear the mind and nourish the body.
The Three Kingdoms Alliance doesn't know how well the Khanates are colluding with each other. That old guy Bedorich is an old fox who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't let eagles fly. He wants to invite them to join the alliance. They would only be tempted if they saw that the situation in the Tang Dynasty was over. Under the current situation, they would only have two ends. They will never go into trouble easily, but the Khanate can take this opportunity to obtain more economic support and convenience from the Three Kingdoms Alliance. I believe Master Lei should be the best at this.
A burst of hurried footsteps approaching from far away disrupted Yan Ning's contemplation. The door was suddenly pushed open. Such a rude situation had never happened to Yan Ning before, but he had never seen such a rude thing happen before. Li Yaning saw an ominous omen in his expression. Beads of sweat covered the soldier's cheeks, and his nostrils seemed to be enlarged. It was as if the lack of air was suffocating him.
"General, there is urgent information from the Nanyang Alliance!" The soldier's voice seemed to have changed slightly. Nanyang Alliance? Why do things in the Nanyang Alliance make the soldiers so nervous? For a moment, Yan Ning seemed to have not recovered from the long aftertaste of the black tea, and looked at the letter handed over by his own soldier with some strangeness.
Before Yaning had time to open the letter, the soldiers had already hurriedly picked up the words: "It seems that something is not good. I heard from the messenger just now that the Tang Army sent troops from the south to invade the Nanyang Alliance. It seems that they have conquered the Halley Fortress and entered the Nanyang Alliance." It’s Mawlamyine.”
There was a loud thud in his heart. Yan Ning tried his best to steady his mind, but the tea cup in his hand couldn't help but tremble. The lid of the tea cup hit the edge of the cup, making a fine and clear sound. He tore the letter open in twos and fives. This was A distress letter sent by the Nanyang Alliance garrison in Mae Nei City in the Mekong Basin of Mawlamyine before the city was breached.
One hundred thousand troops entered Mae Noi!
The letter was tightly squeezed into a ball in Yan Ning's hands, his temples were beating suddenly, and his selective eyes swallowed up the words that the personal soldier wanted to introduce again in a frightened manner. The personal soldier never saw it The General Zhenguo, who had always been friendly and amiable, unexpectedly had such a ferocious expression. The muscles in his cheeks twitched subconsciously, and his iron teeth had sunk deeply into his lips. Ya Ning could no longer control his emotions!
"Go and bring me the messenger right away!" Standing up with almost a roar, Yaning stared fiercely at the soldiers in front of him, as if the soldiers were the incarnations of the soldiers of the Tang Army.
"General, he, he has passed out. He only had time to say a few words before he passed out!" The soldier bravely explained. road.
"As long as you still have breath, bring him up to me, quickly!" At this time, Yan Ning couldn't care less about the image he had built up over the years. The military situation was so fierce that he had no time to pay attention to it.
In fact, you don’t need to ask Ya Ning to guess the Tang army’s intentions. These despicable Tang people are so cunning that they actually came up with such a curved attack strategy, cutting across the entire northwest of the Nanyang Alliance and detouring to Daliao to attack Yue Jing and Anjie. ! Thinking again about the posture put up by the Tang army in Jiaxi City, it was clearly to attract their main force to stay in Jiaxi. Once they penetrated from Daliao, they would effectively cut off the retreat route of their garrison in Jiaxi, and may even destroy the entire army. The garrison deployed in Ronisia was cut off from the Khanate itself! So vicious! These Tang people were so vicious that they actually wanted to swallow all three of their regiments in one bite.
His mind was already calculating rapidly. Although the topographic and geographical map of the Nanyang Alliance was extremely familiar to Yaning's mind, his eyes subconsciously still stayed on the map on the wall.
The Nanyang Alliance was not prepared for war at all. The sudden visit and wooing of the Nanyang Alliance by Tang Dynasty Foreign Minister Wang Liao in the early stage was obviously a paralyzing method. Its purpose was not to win over the Nanyang Alliance to keep it neutral, but simply to appease it. Those members of the Nanyang Alliance wanted to prevent the Nanyang Alliance from carrying out military mobilization. Although the Khanate finally succeeded in persuading the Nanyang Alliance to carry out military mobilization, the scale of the mobilization was much smaller than what the Khanate had expected. It was the Tang people's tolerance and promises that completely paralyzed those stupid members of the Nanyang Alliance. their vigilance.
Now how to do? Yaning's eyes were fixed on the map without moving. The Nanyang Alliance obviously did not expect that the Tang army would launch an offensive from this position. Moulmein and Daliao are areas without much economic value. The dam area is narrow, but it is so They are connected like a string of beads. To be fair, the strategic location would not be so important if it were not for this battle. The Nanyang Alliance's garrison in this area can be said to be quite weak.
Along this narrow passage, you can directly reach the Elephant City, the capital of Daliao, which is less than 120 miles north from Gongming, an important town in the southwest of Vietnam, and only 150 miles northeast from the border of Anjie Province. Since the land and Mae Nei were lost, the Daliao would also be destroyed. Yaning never believed that the unprepared Nanyang Alliance garrison could withstand such a thunderous offensive of the Tang Army, not to mention that the Tang Army's strength was as many as 100,000. !
The Khanate's garrison in Gongming only had one 14th Corps. What's even more terrible is that Gongming City is close to the lakes and swamps and the East Mekong River. The terrain is flat, and the city is also built among the lakes, swamps and highlands, with waterways crisscrossing it. Once it is captured by the Tang army, Khan will be defeated. The cavalry advantage of the ** team has no way to be used here and may even turn into a disadvantage. This is the main reason why Yaning is so anxious.
It seems that it is too late to send troops to reinforce Gongming. There seems to be nothing to do except immediately call the police and ask the Gongming defenders to strengthen the defense immediately. Behind Gongming is Anjie. The Khanate has almost no garrison in the south of Anjie, which is close to The Khanate itself has almost been assimilated by the Khanate. Even the Great Khan and Master Lei probably did not expect that the gap would be opened from there. Now it is no longer a question of Gongming's survival. Since Tang Jun dared to design such a bold plan, Yaning believed that Liang Chongxin must be quite sure of his opponent's style, and he could not take care of that. What he needed to consider now was Luo The situation in Nicaea.
Yan Ran sighed, only then did Yaning feel the true strength of the Tang Dynasty. Facing such an enemy, you always have a feeling of powerlessness in the face of the vast mountains and seas of Cangshan. It is not just the strength of the Tang Dynasty's military strength, but also the strength of the Tang Dynasty's generals. There are abundant talents, and any general who can be pulled out can take charge of his own affairs. It is natural that Liang Chongxin, the coach, could not have done it personally. Although the situation of the enemy is not clear yet, what is mentioned in the letter is The one hundred thousand army mentioned must be one of those legions.
