Chapter 904: Behind the Great War
The Longyan Kingdom is towards Hancheng, a border city with a radius of ten miles, which was the fortress of Longyan against the Gaozhen Kingdom in the past, and now it has become the capital of Yan Gaoyang, the king of Yan. "Words * love * first * hair [mobile phone users directly visit wèndashubao synchronous update]
Millions of people had gathered in the city, many of whom had fled all the way north of Longyan, making the border city, which was not too lively, crowded and chaotic.
There are so many people, but it doesn't make the city full of life. Everyone knows that this place is likely to be attacked as well.
But just now, the good news came back, and it seemed that the people of Longyan saw hope again.
Last night, Luo Hou, the general of the Gaozhen Kingdom, led the defenders of Xianglan City to set up an ambush and annihilated the million-strong army of Shenyan in one fell swoop by using the Heavenly Fire Array. Xianglan City, which was originally precarious, is no longer in any danger.
After that, Luo Hou marched overnight, and waved his army to the west to attack another besieged Fanhe City.
The million-strong Shenyan army outside Fanhe City was commanded by Shenyan General Hou Jian, and like Xianglan City, there were several months of offensive and defensive battles here.
Hou Jian obviously didn't expect that he would suddenly kill an army of 500,000 behind him, in the original plan, it was impossible for Gao Zhen and Long Yan to have reinforcements so quickly.
And even if there will be reinforcements, they will be found out in advance by the spies in front of Shenyan.
Facing an army of 500,000 Gao Zhen, Hou Jian, who was attacked on his back, could only rush to meet the battle. At this moment, the gate of Fanhe City was opened, and Gao Zhen Zhengdong's general Shan Chengye led more than 400,000 Gao Zhen troops and more than 200,000 Longyan troops to kill them.
The two armies flanked back and forth, and the unprepared Shenyan army suffered heavy losses and losses.
Hou Jian's army was routed for thousands of miles, and finally only brought back 600,000 troops, and retreated to Qing'an City, thousands of miles to the north. The Shenyan people who occupied the strongholds of the city along the way, when facing the army of Gao Zhen, almost immediately broke and fled.
Just when the people of Hancheng learned the news of the first battle last night, Wei Zhong, the prime minister of Shenyan, personally took charge, and the siege of Fu'an City, which was being attacked by Mi Yuanyun, Gu Zi, Han Louhai and others, was finally lifted.
Due to Li Hao's death in battle and Hou Jian's defeat and retreat, this 1.3 million Shenyan army could only suspend the offensive and retreat to the rear, so as not to be flanked by the Gaozhen Longyan coalition army.
This is the most brilliant record that Long Yan has achieved again since Lin Si left.
Because of this battle, Long Yan recovered the four cities north of Xianglan City, and finally showed signs of counterattack again.
Loud cheers erupted in the city, and countless people burst into tears of joy and even tears, as if they had once again returned to the time when they learned of the counterattack of the Kuning army a few years ago.
At that time, they also thought that Long Yan was about to lose the country, and then they suddenly saw the hope of defeating the Shenyan Empire.
But unfortunately, in the end, because of Lin Si's private departure, the battle line collapsed.
Yes, the current Yan Gaoyang of the king of Long Yan can't erase his original achievements, after all, the Heavenly Book Strategy has recorded it. But he can make a big fuss about Lin Si leaving Long Yan.
Under Long Yan's official publicity, Lin Si was dissatisfied with the reward of King Pingjiang and General Tianji. His appetite was too great, and he wanted tens of thousands of miles of Longyan territory in the south and north of the Hunjiang River, but in the end he couldn't get it.
In the end, regardless of Yan Gaoyang's hard work, he insisted on leaving.
His reputation among the people of Longyan is not very good.
His supporters don't really believe in the official rhetoric, and even if it's true, they don't think it's anything now. Long Yan now only has a few thousand miles of territory left, if he had promised him at that time, and if he could really repel the Shenyan people, then Long Yan now has at least forty or fifty thousand miles of territory south of the Nanhun River, right?
Those who oppose him think that he is a greedy and shameless villain who takes advantage of the fire to rob, and even if he can fight again, he will not be able to gain their respect. They even thought that the defeat of Tiezhucheng was because Lin Si left, and the army was unstable.
This time, they finally saw the hope of defeating the Divine Flame again.
Now the combined army of Gao Zhen and Long Yan is nearly two million, and the total strength is already equal to that of the Shenyan army.
Even if the Shenyan Empire was far stronger than them, it would take a long time and a lot of money to transfer more troops from the country at any time. This war of aggression also has a lot of pressure on the Shenyan Empire itself.
If they continue to fight in one go, they may really have the hope of beating the Shenyan people back to the north of the Nanhun River again, or even to the north of Longyan, and completely regain their homeland.
For a while, the reputation of Gao Zhen's general Luo Hou was in full swing, and he instantly overshadowed Lin Si.
On the streets, everyone sang and danced, smiling, and looking forward to the next good news. Isn't that the Kuning City army a few years ago like this? Once the road to victory is opened, it will continue to win......
In the center of Seoul, the original castle lord's palace was demolished and expanded half a year ago, and it was turned into a new small royal palace.
Yan Gaoyang has just finished today's morning dynasty in his palace, he is not a lazy king, since he ascended the throne, he has been busy from morning to night every day, and he has never coveted a moment of comfort.
At the court meeting just now, many ministers were also happy, but Yan Gaoyang, his prime minister and general were not happy.
Yes, this battle was won, but it also hollowed out Long Yan's last family foundation.
Yan Gaoyang knew very well how Xianglan City had won, and that battle was fought with his consent. In order to arrange the Heavenly Fire Array within a radius of five miles, he contributed all the last more than 40,000 spirit stones in the Longyan Treasury.
Except for Li Yuanhong, who can form a three-dimensional formation, and Lin Mu, who can create a seal-force magic core, others can only use a large number of spirit stones and extremely complicated formations to arrange this kind of large-scale formation.
If the range of Xianglan City was a mile or two larger, maybe that formation was just a joke. Because those high-level formation mages can't lay out bigger formations at all.
The hollowing out of the spirit stone is still secondary, and the most important thing is that there is not much left of the Long Yan army under his command.
In the end, there were only more than 10,000 people who left the city with Guan Rui early, and the entire army was almost wiped out.
Of course, Yan Gaoyang didn't want them to die, even if Fan Zhongyuan, Sha Chengyun and the others were all people who supported Lin Si, he didn't want them to die like that. In any case, those people were fighting for his dragon swallow, and they were already his last strength.
It's just that they can't die if they don't die......
If there were no more than 100,000 troops blocking the city, how could the remaining 500,000 troops quietly withdraw? And how could the Shenyan people fall for the scheme? How could the Heavenly Fire Array show its might?
Now the Longyan army in Fanhe City and Fu'an City combined is only 500,000.
This is the last army of the Longyan Kingdom, such a large army, even if the Shenyan people are finally defeated, will this Longyan Kingdom still belong to them?
It's just that, even if he understands this qiē, does he have a choice?
This plan was conceived by Gao Zhenren, and he could only cooperate. Otherwise, once Gao Zhenren directly withdrew from the battle, Long Yan would be destroyed in the next moment.
As long as you can defeat the Shenyan people, even if you are a puppet king under the hostage of Gao Zhenren, it is better than going into exile in other countries, or being killed directly by the Shenyan people......
Once upon a time, the Dragon Swallow Kingdom was ranked among the top five powerhouses in the continent. Once upon a time, the Dragon Swallow Kingdom had millions of string controllers. Once upon a time, the Gaozhen Kingdom was not taken into the eyes of Yan Gaoyang at all.
He suddenly remembered Lin Si, and for the first time in his heart, he felt irrepressible remorse.
......
When Lin Si got the battle report of Xianglan City, Luo Hou already knew it to the world.
Although he was originally a high-spirited chariot general, he was already famous, but in this war that affected the entire central part of the continent, he was the first time to 'stand out'.
Xianglan City won a big victory, Fanhe City won a big victory, and pursued for thousands of miles......
Beforehand, everyone thought that Long Yan's defeat would only be in an instant, and they would be completely destroyed if they held out for a few months at most.
However, the battle that night overturned everyone's speculation.
In this night, this Gao Zhen general can be said to be out of the limelight.
Countless people have begun to compare him with Lin Simi Yuanyun at the beginning, and some people even think that he is better than those two.
Because he killed Li Hao, who ranked fourth in the famous generals, doesn't this prove that he can at least rank fourth?
People talked about the fire array that day, marveled at the tactics of luring the enemy to ambush, and applauded the decisive case of rushing to the aid of Fanhe City overnight......
Now, anyone in the middle of the continent who has heard of the war can describe how wonderful and rare this battle is.
Almost everyone ignored that 500,000 Longyan people and more than 100,000 Longyan soldiers died in Xianglan City that night. And they all died at the hands of 'their own people'.
If they go to Xianglan City, which has become a ruin, at this time, they will completely understand what is behind that battle.
Lin Si didn't see that battle with his own eyes, and in the battle report that Long Yan Gaozhen publicized to the outside world, he didn't mention the tragic situation in Xianglan City that night, and a lot of pen and ink was spent on Shenyan's battle losses.
However, how could the things behind it be hidden from him?
He was well aware that this tactic looked exquisite, but the conditions for it to achieve were extremely difficult. When the enemy army goes straight into the city, it is not necessary to drive all the million-strong army into it.
Beware of ambushes is the command quality that every commander should have. Even if the Shenyan people can't attack for a long time, they have gradually become impatient and impatient, but if all the people in the city are withdrawn, it will still make the other party suspicious immediately.
And if the army of this side wants to withdraw from the city in advance and avoid the Heavenly Fire Array, it is also impossible, and someone must drag the footsteps of the enemy behind the palace.
The success of this plan can be said to be based on the bones of one's own people.
Once Lin Si also wanted to pit hundreds of thousands of people in Cangcheng to death, but he was not ruthless enough to do this after all.
The people of Cangcheng were dragging him back, selling his intelligence, hoping that he would lose the battle. At that time, he did not regard those people as his own, but as enemies.
But in the battle of Xianglan City, the city should be full of Longyan people who swore to resist the Shenyan army, right?
