Chapter 1504 Layout
After taking Yingcheng, the Ning army's road to the north was initially opened, and the entire Zuozhongzhou Island was opened. With Yingcheng, the big city of Ning army, it could quickly establish a logistics base on the land of Sang Kingdom.
With Daning's national strength, it is conceivable that this place will become a city of materials in no time.
After taking down Yingcheng, Chen Leng did not lead the army to attack immediately, but was waiting. He needed to wait for the subsequent team to support him.
On the fourth day after the war, the navy transported the follow-up team of the Eastern Expedition Army to the shore one by one. The total number of nearly 200,000 soldiers from the Liaobei Road and Lianshan Road met with Shen Leng.
Geng Zhongqi, general of Liaobei Road, and Han Songbai, general of Lianshan Road, when the two of them entered Yingcheng, were shocked when they saw the devastated. This battle was so tragic, with broken walls and blood.
When they entered the city, the battlefield had not been cleaned up yet, and they were transporting corpses out of the city one by one, all of which belonged to the Sanren.
When these two generals heard that Chen Leng and Meng Chang'an destroyed hundreds of thousands of defenders in Yingcheng in a battle, they felt even more shocked.
The two of them had never fought with Chen Leng. The two soldiers and generals were more familiar with Meng Chang'an. Although they had only met when they were asking about military information on routine matters, Meng Chang'an was the general of the Eastern Frontier, and these two soldiers and generals were his direct subordinates, and the soldiers in all the roads of the Eastern Frontier were controlled by Meng Chang'an.
During the first battle, the Ning army broke through the defense line of Sang Army outside Yingcheng. In that battle, 70,000 to 80,000 enemies were killed. About 100,000 people fled. There were still more than 100,000 people who wanted to go back to Yingcheng but found that the city gate was closed. These prisoners and bandits from all over the Sang Kingdom also chose to escape.
After a war outside the city, 70,000 to 80,000 enemies were destroyed, 21,000 to 220,000 escaped, and there were about 200,000 soldiers under the city.
These 200,000 people were slaughtered in a narrow place by Chen Leng and Meng Chang'an.
And it only took three days.
"If we march north at this time, we will pass several passes. I have marked them on the map for the more difficult battles."
Chen Leng pointed to the map: "Sangrishan, most of the people who fled from Sakura Castle have gone there.Sangrishan is an important granary on Zuozhongzhou Island in Sangguo. If you take downSangrishan, the army's food and grass supply will not need to rely too much on the rear support, so Xiangrishan must fight."
His fingers fell in the second place: "Ginge County, there are tens of thousands of Sangmen soldiers stationed here, which is the gateway to the north after Yingcheng. After the Jinge County is captured, it looks like a plain on the map, without mountains and passes, so we can drive straight in, without attacking those strong cities, and go around and kill Gyeonggi Province in Sang Kingdom."
“The third place.”
Chen Leng said: "Here...Haiye County."
Meng Changan nodded: "Xiangrishan is a heavy granary, and it must be defeated. Because there is a lot of food there, more than 200,000 defeated soldiers in Yingcheng went to Xiangrishan, mainly because some of them were not worried about hunger."
Chen Leng said: "The food belongs to us, so we can't let them waste it. More than 200,000 people are eating the seas. I feel sorry for me."
The two generals of war soldiers looked at each other and thought to themselves that before they could fight, Xiang Rishan Granary was already the general of the Navy, and the Navy General was well-known.
Meng Changan smiled and continued, "There are many people in Xiangrishan, but most of them are mobs. The two generals will first use Xiangrishan to practice their skills, so that the soldiers can adapt to the fighting style of the Sangren."
Geng Zhongxue and Han Songbai leaned over at the same time and said, "God of General."
Meng Changan pointed at Chen Leng: "He is the head coach of the Eastern Expedition, what I just said was to arrange it for him."
Geng Zhongzhi and Han Songbai quickly turned around and saluted Chen Leng: "Respect the General's Military Order
.”
Chen Leng waved his hand: "Don't be worshipping around, please... Two generals, your subordinates have about 100,000 soldiers in total, and the auxiliary soldiers and civilians are about 100,000. The troops are basically the same as the Xiangrishan Sang Army. Although the opponent has many troublesome bandits and prisoners, they should not be underestimated. They should also be careful not to jump over the wall and burn food. However, I may have to draw some of your auxiliary soldiers."
"yes!"
The two responded at the same time.
Chen Leng said: "Jinge County is the most difficult to fight. Judging from the information we have obtained at present, there are at least 30,000 defenders. The city wall is solid and reserved. What is even more difficult to fight is another Songwang River in front of Jinge County. The river channel is very wide. If you want to attack the city, you have to cross the river first. The Sang Army will not let us pass smoothly. I look at the marked distance on the map. Songwang River is about three miles away from the city wall, which can be regarded as a moat. On the south bank, our stone-throwing cart cannot reach the city wall."
He looked at the two generals of the warriors: "So I want to draw two auxiliary soldiers from the army to assist the Dongjiang swordsmen to build the floating bridge. The floating bridge must be built with a wide and stable size, otherwise the crossbow formation chariot and the stone throwing chariot would not be able to pass."
"yes!"
Geng Zhongzhi and Han Songbai said: "How many people do the general need to transfer? Just order it."
"Do you think it's OK to draw 10,000 auxiliary soldiers from each of your two troops?"
"We're fine."
Chen Leng nodded and continued, "Then I will fight Jinge County."
Meng Changan was stunned: "Why did you fight? Shouldn't you go to Haiye County? Yingzhang Liuban is in Haiye County."
Chen Leng said: "You go and support the person you release."
Meng Chang'an said: "Why?"
Chen Leng: "You have collected money from others."
Meng Chang'an: "..."
Chen sneered and continued, "You don't have to fight. You will be stationed outside the city of Haiye County with the Dongjiang Sabre Army. Let the people of Sang see. The swordsman General Meng Chang'an personally took the people to stand up for Yingtiao Liuan."
Meng Chang'an sighed, "Is this why you gave me that little money?"
Chen Leng said: "You are thinking too much. I don't want that little money purely because I think it's too little, and it has nothing to do with it now."
Meng Chang'an: "..."
Chen Leng said: "Now Sang Kingdom is divided into two parts. A large part of them are still on Takaihara's side. A small part of them choose to support Yingzhao Liuan. If Takaihara dispatches troops to attack Yingzhao Liuan, he can't hold on, so you have to stand behind him, not to fight but just watch, and the Sang people will hesitate again and again."
The two generals of the warrior stood beside him and listened seriously, probably understanding the meaning of Chen Leng.
If the sword gun goes to Haiye County, the Sang people will really be because Yingzhang Liuan is the emperor of the Sang Kingdom that Daning wants to support. After all, that was what Daning said before going to war, and the slogan he used was to seek justice for Yingzhang Liuan.
Yingzhao Liuan studied in Daning many years ago. Daning insisted that Takaihara was the enemy and Yingzhao Liuan could be regarded as a friend. Gaozhao was to treason, and Daning needed to send troops for his friends to regain the country.
Of course, the Sangren doesn't believe this slogan, but if the swords and weapons are placed there, some people will believe it.
The Sang people's attitude towards this matter will be as good as the world's fire. Some of the strong-willed Sang people will think that Yingtiao Liuan is betrayed by the Sang Kingdom and betrayed by the Sang tribe, and will regard Yingtiao Liuan as a traitor.
Another group of people who are afraid of being destroyed by Daning will choose to surrender. Think about it, most of the people who are afraid of death should be famous families in Sang Kingdom, big families, and rich people.
They have the ability to bet on both sides, part of them bet on Takaihara and part of them bet on Eitoki Rikigan.
Meng Changan looked at Chen Leng: "Can I not go?"
Chen Leng: "I am the coach, the coach is awesome."
Meng Changan sighed.
Chen Leng said, "Think about it, how good it is. After you arrived in Haiye County, you sent someone to tell Yingzhao Liu'an that your army was not equipped with food and grass. You came to help him and fought for him. Of course, he had to supply food and grass to swords and weapons. If you gave you food and grass, you would ask for money. You said that our Daning soldiers could not come to Sang Kingdom to help you fight. He didn't even have military pay. He was already in a difficult situation at this time, so he should still give you military pay."
Meng Changan nodded: "You're done with me, have you said it long ago? I'm familiar with Yingtiao Liu'an asking for money, and I know this part."
He glanced at him coldly.
Meng Chang'an said: "I asked for food and money. If Takaihara really sent a large army to attack Haiye County, we would just stand by and watch?"
Chen Leng said: "Where is human nature? You took other people's food and money, and you stood by and watched when they were beaten?"
Meng Chang'an: "Well, shake the flag and shout."
"Right."
Chen Leng said: "I always have to cheer for others..."
Meng Chang'an said: "Okay, then I'll go back and rectify my military equipment now. I will lead my army to Haiye County the day after tomorrow."
Chen Leng nodded: "General Geng and General Han don't need to worry. He just arrived on a boat and cross the sea, so he took a few days off."
Geng Zhongzhi smiled and said, "Those little boys have been sluggish for many days on the boat. There is no need to rest. We can lead our army to Rishan directly."
“Okay.”
Chen Leng said: "The two generals are ready and set off. The war can be handled at the discretion of their own without asking me for instructions."
"yes!"
The two men saluted each other at the same time, then turned around and left the tent.
Chen Leng looked at Meng Chang'an and said, "I think I am really a villain now... You need food and money after you arrive in Haiye County, and after you get these things..."
Meng Changan nodded: "I know, Yingzhang Liuan will die."
The role of Yingzhang Liuan ended here. Daning went to war in the name of venting his anger for him to help him regain his country. If he did not die, how could he fight in the war? If Yingzhang Liuan died, Daning could change his slogan.
He continued to fight for revenge on Yingzhao Liuan until all the enemies of Yingzhao Liuan were killed.
“I know how to do it.”
Meng Chang'an said: "You should be careful when you go to Jinge County. The terrain over there is particularly unfavorable for the attack. The land on both sides of the river beach is soft, which is not conducive to setting up stone throwing cars. Even if it is set up after crossing the river, it is only two miles away from the city wall after being away from the river. The distance between these two miles is covered by heavy crossbows on the city wall."
Chen Leng nodded: "I know, let's take a look after you arrive at Songwanghe."
Meng Chang'an nodded: "After defeating Jinge County, you can enter Kyoto directly. If what I expected is, you will have to go back to Chang'an after the fight."
He looked at Chen Leng and said seriously: "Don't be like when I was a child, you are heart-to-heart. After returning to Chang'an, you are dealing with all parties all day long. With your temperament... you are slightly better than me."
Sighing coldly.
Meng Chang'an said: "After returning to Chang'an, you must be the general of the imperial guards. You must think about yourself and don't always think about others."
"I know, I know."
Chen Leng pushed Meng Chang'an out: "Go and prepare the team and then extort your money. It's like an old lady, so long-winded."
