"What on earth is going on?!" Shenei turned his eyes with some doubts to the officials from the Imperial Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Bureau who were accompanying him in the battle. However, it could be seen from the incomprehensible expressions of the two men that they had no intention of treating the enemy. It was only at this time that the situation of the internal strife became known. "Could it be that the Yue Jing people spontaneously launched a rebellion when they saw that the situation was over?"
"It doesn't look like it. It seems that the Yue Jing servants are very excited, and the fighting between the two sides is quite fierce. The Yue Jing people are more like the active attackers, not like a counterattack." The scouts observed the situation very carefully, " Sir, you might as well wait a moment, our scouts have already gone to capture the prisoners, and they will be rewarded soon."
"Is there no information about this from the intelligence department?" She was a little reluctant. The opportunity was fleeting. If he could be sure that the other party was not setting a trap to lure him into the trap, no matter what the reason was, the feud between the Yue Jing servant army and the Machi Khan regular army It couldn't be better for the Sixth Army, and he could just take this opportunity to annihilate the Maci Khan Corps in one fell swoop.
"I'm sorry, General Shenei. According to the intelligence we have obtained, most of the Yue Jing servants are from the south of Yue Jing. Although they don't like the Maci Khans, they don't resent Maci Khan's rule over them. After all, these days In the middle of the year, the policies implemented by the Maci Khans in Yue Jing objectively promoted the economic development in Yue Jing. Although we also used the relationship between the three princesses of Yue Jing to contact some resistance forces, most of them were concentrated in the north. The river defense area, and although we have contacted the servant army here, there has been no clear response." After exchanging glances, the officials of the Military Intelligence Bureau expressed their opinions on behalf of the intelligence department with some regrets.
After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind. No matter what the Machikhans and the Yue Jing servants did, even if it was a trap, he would dig it out today. The Machikhans only had one regiment and they were already on their own. They suffered heavy losses under the attack, but the Yue Jing servant army has always adopted an evasive attitude. Not really participating in the war, Schone did not believe that they would suddenly perform a show at this time.
Shenei's decisiveness played a decisive role. When the second division launched successive assaults on the Machi Khan's army in the southeast corner, the Machi Khan's army, which was attacked on both sides, finally could no longer resist and took action to attack the Machi Khan's army and let go of the capital. The servant army's strategy really worked, but the Yue Jing servant army did not immediately cooperate with the imperial army's attack on Machi Khan's army, but instead began to put out the buildings that had begun to burn.
Mai Qili never expected that his plan to pull out the bottom line would be destroyed by his own servant army. He ignored that most of the soldiers in these servant armies were from the southern part of Yue Jing, and many of them were from the suburbs of Gongming City. Disciple, when Mai Qili ordered the fire prevention and burning of the city to completely burn the Sixth Army to death in Gongming City, it immediately aroused firm opposition from the Yue Jing servants. The Yue Jing servants, who were already wavering about the Tang army's raid on Gongming, immediately rebelled when they learned that Mai Qili was going to use the so-called fire strategy to deal with the Tang army. Faced with the foreigners who wanted to burn their homes to the ground, the Yue Jing servants At this moment, people finally broke out their long-repressed courage. They could endure the subjugation of the country and the arrogance of the Machi Khans. After all, after Yuejing was incorporated into the rule of the Machi Khanate, whether it was farmland water conservancy construction, road transportation, or tax reductions, it won the support of the people at the bottom of Yuejing. It should be said that Machi Khan's rule on this land was still Quite successful. But when the Machi Khans wanted to sacrifice the lives and property of the entire people of Gongming City to accompany the Sixth Army of the Tang Dynasty, they could no longer remain indifferent.
When the Machi Khan army was ordered to pour oil and prepare to implement the burning plan, they were immediately discovered by the Vietnamese servants. The two sides immediately started a dispute. When the Machi Khan army ignored the opposition of the Yue Jing servant army and forcibly advanced their underground fire siege plan, the Yue Jing servant army finally began to resist. This fierce battle between the two sides gave the Sixth Army such a golden opportunity.
When Shenei learned about Machi Khan's army plan, no matter how bold he was, he couldn't help but gasp. This Machili was so cruel. Not only did he want to bury the entire Gongming City people with his army, He even designed almost all of the Machi Khan Army and the entire Yue Jing Servant Army to go in. If the Yue Jing Servant Army had not discovered it in time, when a fire broke out in the southeast, the southeast wind was now strong. Almost all Gongming City is made up of wooden structure houses, and the streets are densely packed. Once a fire breaks out, following the wind, it can spread to the north and west almost immediately, and the entire Gongming City can be involved in a sea of fire in a very short time. Once the fire dragons from the west and north are surrounded, there is almost no other way to escape quietly except escaping from the water. However, there are not many experienced members of the Sixth Legion who have just arrived, so it would be even more difficult to escape and ascend to heaven.
The plan of the Machi Khan army to completely bury the Sixth Army with a fire attack failed in the end, and also pushed the Yue Jing servant army to the Tang Dynasty. This was something that the Machi Khan people did not expect. With the help, the Sixth Army quickly annihilated most of the Fourteenth Army of Machi Khan's army. Maiqili escaped from the waterway at the last moment. Only less than 3,000 men of the entire Fourteenth Army escaped from Gongming City.
The bright Jinpeng flag rises high on the Tianluo Pagoda, the highest in Gongming City, indicating that this famous Yuejing city with a long history has finally fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, the three former Yuejing princesses and the common people The book was also posted everywhere in Gongming City. Three princesses who were well-known among the people of Yuejing asked the people to actively support the liberation cause of the Tang Dynasty and called on the people of Yuejing to help the Tang Dynasty to free Yuejing from the clutches of the Maci Khans. Liberated.
After Chene completely defeated the 14th Army of the Maci Khans, he began to actively deploy defenses. On the one hand, he needed to ensure that Gongming City must be firmly controlled in his own hands to lay a solid foundation for the empire's next move in the future. On the other hand, he was somewhat unsatisfied. It is not Shenei's style to be willing to just sit and defend in Gongming City while the 100,000 troops in hand wait. Although it is impossible to attack Yuejing City to the north, attacking Ronisia to the west should be the best way.
After careful analysis, the Machihans were unable to pose much threat to Gongming City in a short period of time. Shenei decisively ordered the 1st and 2nd Divisions, which had been the front line in the early stage and were relatively tired, to stay in Gongming City and let the Yue Jing servants assist. In the defense of the First and Second Division, with the help of these familiar local troops, the defensive pressure on Gongming City will be much less, and their addition can also greatly affect the local folk sentiment in Gongming, making them conscious Unconsciously, he linked his destiny to the Tang Dynasty, making it much easier for the Tang Dynasty to control this place. He led the 3rd, 4th and 5th divisions to continue to advance northwest into the Ronisian mountains, in an attempt to kill everyone in one fell swoop. Deal with the Machi Khan garrison here.
Yaning learned the news of Gongming's fall at the first time. He had been paying attention to the changes in the situation in southern Yuejing. After all, southern Yuejing and southern Ronisia were closely connected. Once Gongming was lost, the Tang army would attack Luo Southern Nicaea constitutes a north-south pincer attack. With the power in his hands now, it is absolutely difficult to resist the Tang army's pincer attack, which has the advantage from all aspects. He must make an immediate decision.
When the news that Mai Qili's fire attack failed and eventually led to the annihilation of the entire army came from the scouts deployed in Gongming City, Yaning knew that he should make a decision. His opponent was very cunning and controlled Gongming, but he did not If you don't be greedy for merit and advance north or east, judging from the opponent's posture, they will definitely insert themselves into Ronisia after consolidating Gongming's defense. Especially after the Yue Jing servant army also fell to the Tang army, this situation became more serious.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yaning still had to face such a grim reality. Once the southern part of Ronisia was lost, the northern part of Ronisia could not be defended at all. Most of the Ronisia mountains run north-south, and the valleys and rivers are also sandwiched between the mountains. The center and south are connected to the north. Once the south is lost, the Tang army can quickly move north along these valleys and cut off the retreat route of the troops stationed in the north. By then, I am afraid that the only thing they can do is be dumped by the Tang army.
A full retreat? This idea has been swirling in Yaning's mind. This is a difficult decision. He retreats to the central and northern parts of Yuejing and Anjie Province. He can still fight. By taking advantage of the Khanate's cavalry, he can at least compete with the Tang army on a strategic level. In confrontation, if we insist on clinging to territory, we will get stuck in a quagmire and be unable to extricate ourselves.
Neither Helianbo, who attacked from the west, nor Shenei, who attacked from the east, expected that the Machihan general Yaning, who was responsible for guarding Ronisia, would be so cunning. When he saw that the situation was not right, he quietly fled away. They escaped so cleanly that not even a single soldier was left behind. The entire Ronisia did not encounter any resistance during the Tang army's late attack. Later they learned that the Machi Khan army had quietly moved east three days ago. Before leaving, they looted all the property files of various towns in Ronisia and burned all the important passes, leaving nothing for the Tang army to use.
The first, second, and sixth armies finally successfully joined forces in Neil City, and the entire Ronisia fell into the hands of the Tang army. At this time, the main force of Machi Khan's army was also preserved to the maximum extent, and all six armies were withdrawn. Entered the territory of Yuejing and quickly completed the next step of defense of Yuejing and Anjie Province.
There were some regrets in the house. If he had known that Machi Khan's army was so knowledgeable, he would only have to send a division to make a symbolic gesture to the west. The remaining army can completely expand westward, and Anjie Province is not Without the Maci Khan garrison, another Servant Corps of Yue Jing, the First Corps, had withdrawn from the southern part of Anjie Province and defected to Gongming. At that time, with the support of the First Servant Corps of Yue Jing, he could completely control the southern part of Anjie Province. , but he ruined a good opportunity in vain.
