Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 841

[Chapter 841 Anti-flanking]

“How is the movement of the Xiangzhou army?” Zhao Xu looked away and looked towards Xiangzhou to the west.

“Tan Ma hasn’t come back yet, but the general guesses that it will only be two or three days.” Chang Wei said, “Your Highness, do you think Changcheng’s army will withdraw to Shacheng, or will Shacheng’s army support Changcheng?”

“They will support Changcheng.” Zhao Xu said, “I don’t believe that Liang Kaihui will give up Jiangzhou easily, and this is an opportunity to attack from two sides. The most important thing is that it is too late for Changcheng’s army to withdraw now. I don’t understand, and the generals of the Western Regions in Bacheng will not understand.”

The Shacheng in Chang Wei’s mouth is the contemporary Changsha area in Hunan.

The main force of Wu State is basically stationed in Shacheng.

Chang Wei nodded.

The marching speed of the clan army was not a bit slower than that of the royal army.

What’s more, now they can directly enter Changcheng through Changhu Lake.

Once the clan army in Changcheng withdrew, they ordered a small group of troops to rush to the front of Changcheng’s army to stop them, and then ordered the large army to catch up, attacking from both sides, and defeated them.

Sure enough, after three days, the scout came back and brought the news that the Shacheng army was marching towards Jiangzhou.

“Your Highness guessed right, the Shacheng army didn’t go directly east to Changcheng, but circled south and came in the direction of Anqing.” Chang Wei went straight to Zhao Xu’s place in Anqing after receiving the information sent back by Tan Ma. Xingyuan.

At this moment, Zhao Xu is staring at the Dasong map under the willow tree in the yard, thinking about something.   Hearing this, he said: “If most of our

troops are directed to Changcheng, Wu’s army will definitely attack Anqing, cut off our retreat, and then go south to join forces with Changcheng’s defenders.”

If the troops stay in Anqing, they will definitely confront us and put us in a dilemma.”

He got up and took two steps, and then said: “Before Xie An closed the city gate, people from the Fourth Court sent information that Xie Bi was under house arrest by his father, which shows that Xie An’s will to resist us is very firm.”

“If so , then we can only have a bloody battle.” Chang Wei said, “These powerful clans are really stubborn.”

After thinking for a while, he said: “Your Highness, the last general thinks that only 20,000 soldiers need to be left in Anqing City You can defend Anqing with horses, and the remaining 80,000 soldiers and horses are more than enough to attack Changcheng, so there is no need to worry.”

“This king knows this, but this battle can be easier.” Zhao Xu laughed. “Since they were waiting for us to attack Changcheng, we chose not to move to Changcheng, but went to Shacheng without anyone noticing, to make their wishful thinking come to nothing.”

Chang Wei heard this, his eyes lit up, “Yes, Shacheng is now It is equivalent to an empty city. As long as the sand city is taken down, the Wu army will become lonely ghosts. At that time, a small number of soldiers and horses will be left to garrison the sand city, and then they will attack the Wu army with the Anqing defenders, and they will be wiped out. As for Changcheng’s army, they are just lambs locked in a cage by us, waiting to be slaughtered, and it’s not too late to deal with them later.”

“That’s right, that’s what this king means, and it’s not too late, you lead an army of 60,000 to Shacheng immediately. Go forward and take Shacheng.” Zhao Xu said.

He can only give Chang Wei 60,000 soldiers.

After all, Anqing needs 20,000 soldiers to be stationed.

Another 20,000 soldiers are recovering the counties on both sides of Changhu Lake.

According to the battle reports that were sent back continuously, the actions of the 20,000 soldiers went smoothly, and the counties and counties on both sides of Changhu Lake were basically taken by them.

Moreover, seeing the arrival of the royal family’s troops, the people of Jiangzhou were really very enthusiastic, not only sending food, but also drinking.

He also took the initiative to help the prince’s army make ladders, and even helped the ladders during the war.

It was with the help of the people that they made rapid progress.

I’m afraid that in two or three days, only Changcheng will be left in the entire Jiangzhou.

At that time, the 20,000 soldiers will still have to shoulder the task of besieging the defenders of Changcheng.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei replied yes.

Zhao Xu nodded, “In order to ensure the smooth operation, Qin Shan and Guantong’s first and second armies should be taken away.”

Chang Wei originally wanted to say to keep Qin Shan to prevent Wu’s army from attacking Anqing.

Just think about it.

King Yan gave this order, naturally after careful consideration.

Furthermore, there is not much difference in the combat strength of the various armies among the royal family’s pro-military forces.

The most important thing is that each army is currently equipped with Qin-style rifles and carries a large number of grenades.

Each corps also had sufficient howitzers and rifled guns.

With such firepower defending the city, it is impossible for the 600,000 Wu army to take Anqing.

After deciding this matter, Chang Wei went back to make the first army and the second army sleep.

As night fell, they headed for Shacheng with light clothes.

The sand city Anqing is only 600 miles away, about 300 kilometers away.

With the marching ability of the royal family’s army, it only takes six days to arrive.

…

At the same time, Tong County, Xiangzhou.

The 600,000 Wu army was resting outside the county seat, and the torches in the night were scattered in the camp like stars.

The general who commanded the 600,000 troops was named Liang Tong, he was Liang Kai’s younger brother, and he was currently the army of Wu Guo Zhen Guo.

In order to firmly control the Wu army, most of the main generals of the Wu army are from the Liang family.

At this time, they had set off from Shacheng for two days.

“This battle is a battle of life and death. There is no way for my country of Wu to retreat. This time, everyone, you must keep your spirits up.”

In the camp of the Chinese army, Liang Tong was eating and drinking with the generals.

Satisfied with wine and food, Liang Tong said seriously to the generals.

There were two words in the order Liang Kai gave him – fight to the death.

The last time King Yan’s army came west, they had a false alarm, but this time it was really inevitable.

“King Yan is too deceitful. Jiangbei and the three states in the southeast can’t satisfy his appetite. He insists on killing us all. If that’s the case, we will die.” A general said angrily, throwing his wine glass on the ground.

“Only by killing the king of Yan can we relieve our hatred. It is said that the king of Yan is in Anqing right now. This time, he cannot be allowed to escape.”

“…” The

generals of the state of Wu were excited.

They were driven from the rich coast to a barren land like Xiangzhou, and they hated King Yan extremely.

Some of the generals also had worried eyes, but on this occasion, they dared not say inappropriate words.

Furthermore, no matter what they think, the outcome is already doomed, they must obey the military order, and attack King Yan’s army with Changcheng’s army on both sides.

Liang Tong was very satisfied with the performance of the generals.

He looked in the direction of Anqing, his eyes narrowed.

King Yan’s army is powerful, he knows it very well.

But just because tigers cannibalize people, this mountain road cannot be stopped.

In this battle, even if they lost, they would severely damage King Yan’s army.

In this way, time can be bought for the powerful clans to wait until the arrival of the Western natives.

At that time, the balance of victory will be tilted in their favor.

Thinking of this, he drank the wine in his glass.

The next day, the army continued to march towards Anqing.

Due to the large number of troops, they also carry a large amount of luggage.

It was another six-day march, and they only reached the border between Xiangzhou and Jiangzhou.

It will take three more days to reach Anqing City.

But here, Liang Tong stopped marching.

He is waiting for news from Changseong.

If King Yan’s army attacked Changcheng, he would attack Anqing again.

And while he was waiting for news from Changcheng.

After six nights of marching, Chang Wei and the soldiers of the First Army and the Second Army have arrived in Shacheng.

Prepare to attack Shacheng at night.
