The Tang people only had one legion in the entire Yue Jing. Although this legion was the first legion known as the number one in the Tang Dynasty, even this legion could only retreat in the face of seven of its own legions. More importantly, this legion It is also distributed in the three cities of Yuejing, Hefang and Gongming City. This kind of decentralized defense undoubtedly brings great benefits to one's own side in carrying out assaults. With the support of Machi Khan's two corps, the seven corps of Machi Khan, which was responsible for the main attack mission, were like a precision machine composed of countless gears. They rumbled towards Yuejing City. The posture they put up was clearly to attack. Capture Yue Jing City in one fell swoop. The raging and roaring army quickly surrounded the entire Yuejing City tightly without any unnecessary words. Taking Yuejing City was their only mission.
Liang Chongxin looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction. His intention was basically achieved. The Machihans finally couldn't help it anymore and mobilized nine corps to participate in the attack and defense of Yue Jing City. This was exactly what he expected. Especially the three Yulin regiments also came among them, which made Liang Chongxin very proud. The more Machi Khan's troops under the capital, the stronger their combat effectiveness. This can only prove that the defense strength of the Machi Khan's army in the north of Maci Khan's mainland and Anjie Province will become relatively weak. He also knows that the Machi Khan's army will become relatively weak. The Khans will definitely deploy enough troops on their homeland in the north, because the postures of the Second Army and the Eighth Army on the southern border of Wuhu have already worked. It seems that the empire is preparing to use Yue Jing to hold them back. The main force of Machi Khan then implemented a breakthrough at the northern border of the Machi Khan people. The Maci Khans also noticed this, and each took what they needed. The Maci Khans hoped to win in Yue Jing, while the empire hoped to win a breakthrough in the northern part of Maci Khan. It all depends on who can win this battle. .
Both the Second Army and the Eighth Army couldn't wait to prepare for a full-scale attack. Although the 200,000-strong army had only experienced the Northern Campaign not long ago, it was difficult for any one to participate in the complete solution of the war between the Macchi Khans. It is an honor for soldiers. The Machi Khans are now more threatening to the empire than Sisluo and Kaman. Only by completely defeating the Machi Khans and dismembering them can we win a truly peaceful south for the empire. To the north of the Machihan people is a semi-arid grassland with some shallow hills - the Babwe grassland area. In fact, this grassland area cannot be completely called a grassland, because in this grassland area, in addition to the endless Tuoli Outside the sub-shallow hilly belt, there is also the famous Meili Snow Mountain. This mountain range rises out of thin air in the Babuwei grassland area. The snow peaks with an altitude of more than 6,800 meters are covered with snow all year round. The melting snow in the Meili Snow Mountain also creates There are many fast-flowing rivers on the Babwe grassland, and there are also Harare, the most important city in the north of Machkhan. Due to the impact of the river, Harare stands on the banks of the Bixi River, the second largest river in the Babwe Grassland. Unfortunately, due to the original map of the river, the city of Harare was built on the north bank of the river. This was very difficult for the Tang Army. It is undoubtedly an important goal.
When the Second Army and the Eighth Army finally crossed the border and entered the Babwe Grassland area, this created another feat for the Tang Dynasty. Since the founding of Maci Khan, the Tang Dynasty had never taken the initiative in this area. It has taken the initiative to launch attacks on the border and has never taken the initiative to cross this border. Every war and every conflict started with the Machi Khans invading the Wuhu area, and then ended with the Tang people trying to compromise. Although the Tang people always had the upper hand in diplomatic disputes on the surface, for the Machiavellian people who did not want to live up to their reputation. For the Khans, every conflict they have can win them some illustrious military exploits. More than 200,000 troops rolled into the Babwe grassland area like a rolling torrent, causing huge waves. This was the first time for the Machihan people to feel that the Tang army had entered their homeland. They had always been around them at will. He was wreaking havoc in front of his neighbors, and no one ever dared to stroke his beard in front of them. But this time, when the Tang Dynasty's army entered in full force, they finally felt shocked and frightened. This is war, a real total war, a war that will determine the fate of this country. It is really happening around you, within your reach. Although Helianbo and Cheng Dayou wanted to go south to Harare in one fell swoop, they also knew that the Machihans had stationed three regiments here to ensure the safety of this northern fortress city. It was obvious that the Machihans were very concerned about The Tang Army had already taken precautions against its actions in the Wuhu area, and replenished its forces in a timely manner to ensure the safety of this city that defended the northern mainland of the Macchi Khanate. The attacks in turn seemed boring. Although the combat effectiveness of the three corps of the Machikhans was somewhat different from those of the original elite corps, it seemed a bit difficult under the repeated attacks of the two legions of the Tang Army. However, the three corps of 90,000 people could only rely on They can still hold on to Harare's city wall defense, especially since this large northern city has repaired and improved its city defense system three times since Lei Juetian came to power. After all, this is the northern fortress directly facing the Tang Dynasty, no matter from which perspective It is necessary to ensure the safety of this city. Brutal offensive and defensive battles started almost simultaneously at the gates of Yuejing City and Harare City. The elites of the Machihans and the two legions of the Tang Dynasty fought on the front line for their own goals. Who could win their respective goals first? , there is no doubt that they will have an absolute advantage in the subsequent war, and for the Machi Khans, once they lose the city of Harare, it almost means that future wars will completely start in the Machi Khan itself, and whether they can win Vietnam The capital seemed unimportant. Even the foundation had been lost, so what was the value of seizing Yue capital. The only way is to pull out Yue Jing before the Tang army captures the city of Harare and control Yue Jing in his own hands. Only by winning the initiative can morale be re-established and lay the foundation for a full-scale defensive operation. Bixili will never ask for help. The people of Tang Dynasty surrendered. For a Khan king, the honor of the royal family means everything.
Schone patiently waited for the information from the front line. The four divisions of the Sixth Army were quietly moved to the border. He also knew that the attention of the Malhan people was now focused on the Babwe grassland. Under the capital city of Heyue, not many people will focus their energy here anymore. After all, the distribution of the Tang army is quite clear. On the one hand, they want to open a gap in the Babwei grassland, forcefully cross the Bixi River, and kill towards the central part of Machihan's mainland. , directly approaching Mulberry City. The other side is to resolutely block the offensive launched by the Maci Khans in Yue Jing and completely destroy the Maci Khans' hope of winning a victory in Yue Jing. In fact, as long as they can hold the Maci Khans firmly under the city of Yue Jing, With these more than 200,000 elites, Liang Chongxin knew that he had already won. Regardless of whether Harare could be won or not, the Sixth Army would determine the entire fate of the Machikhans.
"Legion Commander, here we come!" As a few flames shining in the darkness in the distance were ignited, Shenai, who was already ready to go, could no longer control his emotions and waved his hand suddenly, "Let's go! Target Jemello!" Like a blue dragon out to sea, rushing forward crazily along the border area of Anjie Province, the Sixth Army's 80,000-strong army silently ran on the border path. No one thought that the troops who had been operating in Ronisia were How could the Sixth Army appear here? This was the key to Liang Chongxin's design of this campaign. Except for one division that stayed in Ronisia to perform with the Tiger Guards to attract people's attention, the four elite divisions that had been resting for a long time had already moved to the north. For Liang Chongxin, he expected the second army to It is not impossible to make a breakthrough with the Eighth Army from the north, but that is the homeland of Malkhan. The Malkhan people have always been known for their strong folk customs. As long as they enter their homeland, they will face strong resistance from the people. Malkhan The nation is also a nation that is not willing to be enslaved. If you want to completely conquer them, you must first completely destroy their proud military power. Otherwise, even if you invade the mainland of Maci Khan in the future, you will encounter Endless resistance, only by wiping out their armed forces to the maximum extent, allowing a Machihan nation that has lost its backbone to appear in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Only in this way can a stable and peaceful south be won for the empire. Liang Chongxin has successfully achieved the first step, attracting all the elites of Machi Khan to Yuejing City. For this reason, Liang Chongxin also made a very risky move. He only left two divisions in Yuejing City. The purpose was very simple. , just to attract the Malkhan people to take risks. He knew that the military deployment in Yuejing City could not be hidden from the Malkhan people's scouts. If he wanted them to take the bait, he had to take the risk and lay the real bait. As expected, in the face of people from all walks of life, Due to Fang's pressure and the temptation to win, the Machikhans finally took the bait. Next is the performance in Anjie Province, and the Sixth Army, which has always hidden its strength, will be the real key to this war.
The Twelfth Corps of Malhan stationed in Ankun City soon received information about a large army marching rapidly on the eastern border of Ankun. The garrison commander not only reported to Sanglin City, but also found it incredible. The second Tang Army The Army and the Eighth Army were fighting fiercely under the city of Harare in the Babwe Grassland District, while the First Army of the Tang Army was struggling to resist the violent attack of more than 200,000 troops of the Khanate in Yuejing City. He couldn't think of a way to break his head. There will be an army appearing on the border of Anjie Province. Neither the Tang Army nor the Khan Corps seems likely to appear there. Could it be that a small force of the Tang Army pretended to be the main force to attract their own attention and take the opportunity to attack Ankun City? But where did the Tang army come from to attack Ankun City? This question kept the commander waiting until the final news came, but by then it was already too late.
