Chapter 162: Destroying Jiangyuan City and Intercepting Food and Grass! (Ask for a monthly pass!)
The coalition forces have undergone a major change, and while they were sharpening their swords, Li Xing, the leader of the Tianxing Army in Jiangyuan City, was a little distressed.
The adult who came a few days ago had already told him that Wu Qingfeng, the sword master of Lingjian Valley, had joined the coalition army, and it seemed that he wanted to rectify the army.
No matter how you look at it, this news is not beneficial to the Sky Star Army.
The Star Army won twice.
The first time was because the opponent didn't understand war, won easily and gained a lot.
The second time was because of internal problems in the coalition forces, and the army formation was broken by the Tianxing Army.
Both times were victories, but the second time was even more difficult to say, and the harvest was much less than the first time.
This time the coalition forces came with a very capable general.
During the battle, he felt that the commander of the coalition army seemed to have expected to lose from the beginning, so when they lost, they actually withdrew most of the people.
Let the Star Army gain very little.
Li Xing had a hunch that if the coalition forces really solved their internal problems, the third battle would be a 50-50 split at most, and even the Tianxing Army would be a little behind.
At this time, he also had to admit that once the coalition forces were truly prepared, the strength of the coalition forces would be very strong.
The most important logistical issue of the war, the coalition forces undoubtedly crushed them.
To put it bluntly, the king seems to have occupied Shuzhou and separatized one side, but in fact he was trapped in Shuzhou.
Whether it is the supply of food and grass or the source of reserve troops, it is far inferior to the original Jianzhou.
Although there is a Spirit Sword Valley in Jianzhou, if the king is in Jianzhou, there will be no such a one-on-two situation.
And the pressure in all aspects will be much less.
Of course, these are just his sighs, he can't understand why the king must come to Shuzhou, but now there is no room for regret.
Now that you've come to Shuzhou, keep it safe.
The coalition forces must not be allowed to attack.
"Come here, pass my order, and start to defend Jiangyuan City, not to take the initiative to fight."
The coalition forces are not to be reborn, but their strength has also been greatly enhanced, and there is also a very powerful coach. It is not a wise choice to go head-to-head.
Under the circumstances that Jiangyuan City cannot be lost, defending the city is the best choice.
But Li Xing is very clear that this is definitely not a long-term solution.
"I hope the king can achieve certain results!"
...
"After a long time, the Heavenly Star Army will be defeated!" Yang Jian said firmly to the ten new grandmasters.
"Why?"
The new masters are much more polite, after all, the grass on the graves of some people in front of them hasn't grown yet!
"Because they basically have no soldiers to replenish. The soldiers I'm talking about here are warrior soldiers. The previous battle between King Yongnian and King Jianghe has almost exhausted the war potential of Shuzhou. It is difficult to recruit warrior soldiers in a short time.
That is to say, the current King Yongnian is consuming the foundation of his army, and their logistics pressure is much greater than ours, even if we grind them, we can grind them to death. "
Yang Jian is still clear about the situation in Shuzhou.
Shuzhou will definitely not have too many warriors and soldiers in a short time, this is their chance.
As long as we seize this opportunity, it will not be a difficult problem to break through Jiangyuan City.
"Then what should I do?"
A master asked.
"If my guess is correct, the Jiangyuan City Lord will choose to stick to Jiangyuan City next time, and what we have to do is to continue to attack and consume their vitality. In terms of warriors, we have the advantage."
This kind of siege warfare is basically impossible for the army to use.
Therefore, the gap between the two armies is offset, so they have the advantage with many warriors.
Of course, as the siege party, they will be restricted.
However, the Warriors are a coalition force that is more than twice as strong as the Sky Star Army, so they can fully afford these losses.
Of course, Yang Jian will definitely not say these words directly. He will give two choices and let the people of the two forces choose: "There are two choices now, one is to consume slowly, so that the loss can be reduced to a minimum." lowest.
The second is to siege the city without stopping, which will cause great losses, but it is also the fastest way.
You generals can speak freely and see how to choose. "
The general direction of siege remains the same, but the way of siege is different.
Soon, the deliberations came to fruition.
Siege quickly!
Yang Jian was not surprised at all.
Most of the warriors of the coalition forces were conscripted, and the grandmasters of Lingjian Valley and Tiandao City actually didn't care about losses at all.
"Okay, then attack directly!"
The big weekly calendar is 537 years, March.
After the allied forces of Lingjian Valley and Tiandao City were prepared, they attacked Jiangyuan City again.
This time the coalition forces exploded with extremely powerful combat power, and Li Xing, the lord of Jiangyuan City, chose to stick to it.
However, in the attacks again and again, the losses of the Tianxing Army continued to expand.
Although the coalition forces suffered even greater losses, according to the situation of the two parties, if this continues, the first to collapse will definitely be the Sky Star Army.
"General, let's go out of the city and fight to the death. If this drags on, it will be death!"
"Yeah, General, it's not an option to go on like this!"
Li Xing listened to his subordinates and rubbed his head. He didn't understand these principles.
But once they leave the city, the Tianxing Army may be destroyed directly and cease to exist!
From the first siege battle, he had already seen that the strength of the Tianxing army had already fallen behind at that time.
Once out of the city, if the coalition marshal uses attrition tactics, they will have nothing to do with the coalition forces, and their losses will only be greater.
However, as the subordinates said, if you continue to procrastinate, you will only die slowly.
"Then prepare..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a person at the door.
"Master Zhou Hu, why are you here?"
Everyone stood up when they heard the name.
Zhou Hu, the absolute confidant of Yongnian King Zhou Wutong, the strength of the great master is also the guarantee that Yongnian King can still support now.
"Your Majesty asked me to inform you to abandon Jiangyuan City and retreat directly to Tianfu City, and plan it slowly!"
"retreat……"
Li Xing did not expect that he would hold on for more than a month, and the final result turned out to be a direct retreat.
He felt a little disappointed in his heart, but also a little relaxed at the same time.
His subordinates also have the same mentality.
Why are they fighting to the death?
Because there is no hope of victory in sight!
Now retreat and can live.
Being able to live, no one wishes to die.
They even guessed the reason for the retreat, most likely the king made a compromise.
In the year 537 of the Great Zhou Calendar, in May, the offensive and defensive battle of Jiangyuan City, which lasted for almost two months, finally ended with the retreat of the Tianxing Army.
The total number of people killed on both sides exceeded 200,000.
Among them, there are tens of thousands of warriors.
Countless people were buried here, and there were countless mass graves near Jiangyuan City.
"Interestingly," the second siege, no grandmaster died.
In the game between the big powers, the most dead are warriors below the master.
The weak are always the victims in war.
The news of the destruction of Jiangyuan City and the retreat of King Yongnian's Heavenly Star Army spread throughout Shu Province in just a few days.
Everyone knows that with the people from Lingjian Valley and Tiandao City entering Shuzhou, the situation in Shuzhou will soon usher in a big change.
Why did these two great master forces have to enter Shuzhou?
The forces that have been stationed in Shuzhou for a period of time think that there is only one possibility, and that is for the elixir or even the medicine king that is almost everywhere.
Once these two forces enter, it will definitely cause damage to their interests.
They also want to resist, but——
Two Grandmaster-level powers.
It is definitely not something they can fight against, unless Yongnian King is brought in.
However, King Yongnian let go of Jiangyuan City, in fact, he had already expressed his attitude.
But they don't really want to let them give up their own interests.
But there is no great master, and there is no way to fight... So, people in some places are more diligent in finding the great master who is fighting in the forest.
The three counties, which had been peaceful for a long time, were once again caught in waves.
The people in the three counties are used to the current life, but now there are two extremely powerful forces entering Shuzhou.
Most likely they will be affected too.
The most important thing is that the person who shelters the three counties is a grandmaster, can he still be sheltered now?
Not only civilians are thinking, but some hidden forces in the three counties are also thinking the same.
For example, the members of the three major families have three masters, but they are nothing but ants in the face of forces like Spirit Sword Valley and Heavenly Sword City.
Another example is Wu Yuancheng's family, who came from the imperial capital and had always been very low-key. After helping the owner of Guanxing Valley, he came to the three counties to develop in a low-key manner.
He didn't want this calm to be broken either.
But no matter how much they resisted, the entry of Spirit Sword Valley and Tiandao City into Shu Province has become a certainty.
The ancestors of the Zheng, Jiang, and Zhao families gathered together to discuss matters.
"What should I do next?"
"I don't know where those two forces will occupy."
"What if the three counties are occupied?"
"..."
There was a silence.
In the end, the ancestor of the Zhao family opened his mouth and said, "Could that lord be that great master? Let's ask..."
"If you want to die, don't take us with you. After such a long time, can't you see the character of that adult? If he wants to protect him, he will naturally protect him. That's not his obligation."
The patriarch of the Zhao family didn't say anything after being interrupted. He knew that he was in a hurry and went to the doctor.
In the end, the ancestors of the three families still did not discuss any results, so they could only decide to look at the situation first.
As for the idea of leaving, I have no idea.
Da Zhou, is there any real safe place now?
The three counties are already pretty good.
In the end, many forces made similar decisions.
They are all waiting for the arrival of the two forces.
What they don't know is that some people from the two forces have already entered Shuzhou, but they are only advancing in the mountains and forests, and no one knows it for the time being.
These people are not many, only fifty or so.
But if you can judge the aura, you can find that these people are all master-level strengths.
Fifty grandmasters!
No matter where it is placed, it is an extremely terrifying force.
The group had a leader who was talking incessantly.
The task was urgent, and they were all summoned suddenly.
"The matter of intercepting Yongnian Wang Liangcao this time cannot be exposed. If you meet someone on the road, don't talk nonsense, just shoot and kill them! Look at the map clearly, follow the route strictly, and then you will have time. The most important thing is to remember the escape route. ...Otherwise, no one will care if you die!"
"And in order to ensure survival, every ten people have a different escape route, so you must remember your own route clearly."
Everyone will look carefully at the map.
There are two routes on the map, a forward route and a return route, and they all recorded their routes in their minds.
And looking carefully, someone's route... passed the location of Qingshan Village...
