Long Zizi, who had just led two cavalry regiments into Yinchuan Fucheng, didn't even have time to dismount his horse and take a breath when he received news from the pre-sent expedition horses. The Sisluo and Yinchuan Fucheng under Sun Yuanhui were quickly pressing in from the north. The coalition forces of a garrison division are less than twenty miles away from the city. It only takes less than an hour to get under the city wall. However, the opponent's forces are far beyond their current strength, including all the forces that can be mobilized in Yinchuan City. More than times! The situation suddenly became so serious!
Looking at the pale-faced officers, Long Xing knew that if he did not take the correct action, the friendly troops who had just supported his side might even immediately switch sides and fall to the enemy again, then his ten thousand People really die without a burial place.
Jin Zecheng stood aside and watched the somewhat cold situation coldly. As early as the moment when Long led his army into Yinchuan City to build the city, he knew how to hand over the entire defense power of Yinchuan City to the man in front of him who looked very good. The experienced middle-aged man felt relaxed in his heart at this moment, and even had a hint of schadenfreude. See how the guy in front of him responded, although he also knew that his idea was ridiculous. After all, he really wanted Sun Yuanhui to After entering the city with the Sisluo people, his fate was even worse than that of the guy in front of him. In order to maintain a good relationship with his neighbors to the south, Sun Yuanhui would never behave excessively towards them, but he was different. The status of the bereaved dog is similar, especially his last-minute decision, which made Sun Yuanhui gnash his teeth.
Long Zi noticed the cold look from the guy next to him. This guy might still be a little unconvinced. After all, the estrangement caused by the hostile relationship formed over the years cannot be resolved in a day or two. It requires a long time of communication and integration.
After calming down for a while, Long Zizi looked around at the people around him, and finally focused on Jin Zecheng, who was sitting beside him. Jin Zecheng knew about the meeting when Long Zizi held the meeting. He didn't want to hide the mission too much, and he knew he couldn't run away. It was just his pride that forced him to maintain a special kind of reserve.
"Master Jin, the military situation is at a fever pitch right now. What do you have to say?" Long Zizi's words were full of respect. A person who can make the final decision at a critical moment is at least somewhat capable.
"Hey, I have nothing to talk about in front of Master Long. I am willing to listen to your orders." Jin Zecheng shook his head gently and pushed the ball back calmly.
"Your Excellency, you are too polite. The enemy troops are already approaching the city. If you and I are still here to shirk, I'm afraid our heads will be hanging on the wall outside Yinchuan City tomorrow." Long Zizi curled his lips slightly, Said as if joking.
Jin Zecheng suffocated slightly, and then he smiled mockingly and said: "Your Majesty, you are serious. With your Majesty sitting here, I think the enemy will not be able to do what he wants. However, the general thought that if he could make the Third Guard Division If the infantry defends and the cavalry advance to ambush on the outer flank of the city, we may be able to catch the enemy by surprise."
"Great idea! What about the cavalry I brought?" With a satisfied smile on his face, Long gently nodded and asked.
"The troops led by your Excellency are tired from afar. They can take a short rest first. After the ambush army launches an attack to disrupt their positions, they can then leave the city to attack. The effect will be better." Jin Zecheng suggested after a while.
Taking a breath, Long Zizi was not surprised by this strategy, but the original opponent was able to come up with such an emergency strategy in such a short period of time. It cannot but be said that the enemy still has some talents.
Nodding heavily, Long expressed his approval of this strategy: "Very good, I agree very much. Master Jin is really extraordinary, I will do it according to your opinion!"
When he learned that the Third Guard Division suddenly fell to Zhou Tinggui's side at the last moment, and the Second Guard Division that he had worked so hard to win over was completely defeated, Sun Yuanhui's face was as gloomy as a dead mother, and he was filled with great anger. He was so choked up that he couldn't say anything for a while. Although he knew that the strength he had now was still enough to take down the Yinchuan Mansion within a period of time, the feeling of being played by others still made him urgently need to find a place to vent. Naturally, going to Yinchuan Fucheng became the best target.
Looking at Sun Yuanhui, whose chest was rising and falling sharply and whose face was gloomy, Kidman was a little worried, "Master Sun, are you okay? In fact, you don't have to worry too much. No matter how bad they are, we have 100,000 people, and there are still your internal agents inside. , it should be a matter of time to capture Yinchuan Fucheng, you don’t have to worry too much.”
"Thank you for your concern, General Kidman. I have nothing to say. I just think that Jin Zecheng is usually very smart. How could he be wrong this time? Don't blame me for not giving him a chance." He shook his head and spit out a mouthful. Sulking, Sun Yuanhui said bitterly.
"Master Sun, how do you think we can launch an attack?" Although he really wanted to take Yinchuan Fucheng in one fell swoop, out of politeness and because he had to rely on Sun Yuanhui's understanding of Yinchuan City and his internal support, Kidman still consulted Sun Yuanhui first. Views.
"General Kidman, we have been marching continuously for too long. The soldiers are very tired, and the follow-up troops have not yet fully caught up. Although the resistance in Yinchuan City is not too strong, I still have to modify my opinions slightly and advance in advance. Lunch, you can launch the attack after lunch is over, I think the battle can be over before dinner." Sun Yuanhui suggested confidently.
Looking at the sun, Kidman agreed with his opinion. In their opinion, taking Yinchuan City was already a certainty, it was just a matter of time.
Sitting in the study, Wu Feng seemed a little absent-minded. Although he had great trust in Long Zi's ability, after all, the time was too urgent and the distance was so far. If he wanted to capture Yinchuan City in a short time and compete with the people in Yinchuan City, The defenders held on to the enemy's attack. In addition to testing the combat effectiveness of the fifth division, they also had to test the coordination ability of Long Zi, the commander of the fifth division, with other former enemies in Yinchuan City. Coordination of non-friendly armies to jointly resist the real enemy's attack is the key to testing the ability of a good commander.
Even Wu Feng, who had always been confident, became a little doubtful while waiting anxiously, but then he encouraged himself again, believing in the abilities of his men, believing that they could see the importance of this battle, and believe that They can understand the key points of this battle.
In order to distract himself, Wu Feng forced himself to focus on the seventeenth princess Situ Yutang who was inspecting Mangye Town in the northwest of Qingyang. This nominal fiancée seemed quite extraordinary. Despite his age, he behaves in an elegant manner, and he actually knows how to win over public opinion. It seems that he wants to slowly take away the prestige of the northwest people from his fiancé.
Thinking of this, Wu Feng couldn't help but smile again. She could not help but look at these problems too simply, especially those nomadic people whose long-term life of wandering and surviving on the Tengger Grassland had already transformed their lives. The people in power are trained to be more cunning than foxes. Her identity as the princess of the Tang River Empire alone may not be enough to impress these guys who are very good at adapting to the situation. They value strength more than the Tang people. If there is no strength to back it up, even if Even if you have a lotus tongue, you won't let them waver at all. On this point, Wu Feng can see it more clearly than anyone else.
However, what is hidden behind her still makes Wu Feng move. From the current performance, it seems that the princess and her fiancé do not want to work together in the same boat. She seems to be shouldering some long-term mission in the center of the empire. Perhaps her heart is more focused on the illusory fate of the Tanghe Empire, but if she entrusts such an important mission to such a weak girl, will it be too heavy for her on her immature shoulders
The two cavalry regiments of the 3rd Guard Division, which were ambushed behind a hill five miles outside Yinchuan City, were very calm under the leadership of Jin Zecheng. The entire unit was very successful in hiding, except for a group of detective horses who discovered the problem. After being dealt with, the other two groups of enemy scouts patrolled for a while and then walked away. At this time, Jin Zecheng had completely restored his usual general demeanor, and his extreme trust in the coach also made him The actions of the officers and soldiers reached the point where they followed the orders and prohibitions as if they were in command, and everything was going according to the preset plan.
After lunch, just as Sun Yuanhui and Kidman were discussing how to launch an attack in the big tent, two regiments of cavalry hidden on the west side outside Yinchuan City suddenly appeared on the horizon. Their impact speed was like a storm. The coalition forces lined up outside Yinchuan City to launch a siege were completely unprepared. This fatal blow from the side completely disrupted the coalition deployment.
They never expected that the enemy, who was far weaker than their own side, would dare to ambush outside the city and launch an attack first. The coalition infantry, which had no time to react, was completely stunned by the sudden impact of the cavalry. Moreover, the coalition forces, which lacked cooperation, were also stunned at this time. It exposed the weakness of each of them. The overwhelming cavalry came surging forward. Due to the innate error in the position of the infantry defense line that struggled to resist, they did not expect that the attack would come from the side. After only a few rounds of confrontation, Sun Yuanhui's First Guard Division took the lead. After retreating, the wavering of the 1st Guards Division's defense line immediately affected Kidman's army. The cavalry of the Mata Company had no pity for these troops from a foreign land. After breaking through the 1st Guards Division, Behind the regiment's defense line, Jin Zecheng placed his main target on the Sisi Luo people.
Without the cover of the First Guard Division, the Hessiluo army was still struggling to hold on, but the front was already shaky. At this time, thousands of cavalry in Yinchuan City, with the city gates wide open, swarmed out again, and they were under attack from the front. After heavy blows from both sides, the Heathrow people could no longer organize a complete resistance, and the defense line finally collapsed.
The avalanche-like retreat immediately hit the newly prepared central and rear troops. The shattered soldiers of Heathrow were no longer willing to stay behind to lay the foundation for the First Guard Division. Even Kidman could not control his men. The officers had long been resentful of the gap in the defense line caused by the First Guard Division's retreat. They were unwilling to fight together with what they called the "despicable guys" anymore, and there was a rift between the coalition forces that was difficult to bridge.
