Chapter 340 We are here to grab the site
However, during the march, Anyang attached great importance to information reconnaissance, especially high-altitude reconnaissance. This time, Anyang sent several new aircraft to investigate at a height of more than 10,000 meters. After these aircraft flew to a high altitude, they turned off the engine and relied entirely on the formation to levitate and hide.
It can be said that most of Cai's actions were under Anyang's nose.
Of course, Emperor Cai retreated and was discovered by Anyang. Now, the information was sent to Yan Zhengqing.
"By continuous observation and tracking, and even using the latest Qianlier magic weapon, they can detect the sound of their conversation. All the information has been stored in the jade slip."
Yan Zhengqing took the jade slip and looked at it carefully. The information in the jade slip was very detailed, and Yan Zhengqing seemed to have seen it with his own eyes, and there were even some conversational voices to make "side notes".
After about a cup of tea, Yan Zhengqing finished reading all the information, "Okay, very good."
After Yan Zhengqing finished speaking, he took out the Lingtong treasure clone and directly contacted the Tang army more than 150 miles away, and contacted Li Wei. "General Li, I suggest stop advancing and let the soldiers rest for the time being."
The maximum communication distance of Lingtong Baojian is only 100 kilometers, but Anyang has transit technology. After the army marched, there were aircraft specifically responsible for communications hidden at high altitudes.
Li Wei had already been blinded by the continuous victory. When he heard that he was about to pause, his first reaction was to disagree. But thinking of Yan Zhengqing's ability, Li Wei finally asked: "Why?"
"Wait for a moment, and a plane will deliver the information to you soon. You can wait in place, and expect two cups of tea to be enough."
"Okay." Li Wei finally ordered the stop to advance. In this way, the army of Anyang and Tang stopped fifty kilometers away from Shangyong City, the imperial capital of Cai.
In less than two cups of tea, the plane landed in front of Li Wei and sent the jade slip to the table. Li Wei didn't bother to sigh at Anyang's technology, and immediately picked up the jade slip to check it. This time, there were not only the technology that the pilot had reconnaissed, but also the explanation that Yan Zhengqing had just entered, and analysis:
"The royal family and elites of the Cai Kingdom have been transferred, so there are three possibilities in Shangyong City now:
First, one trap, the second, and the empty city. Third, the most likely one is that it has become a solid fortress, dragging our three armies and winning time for the retreat of the top leaders of Cai State.
But no matter what, the senior management of Cai State transfers and now attacks Shangyong City, we will not get any benefits, and may even lose troops and delay fighter planes."
"In my analysis, the transfer of the top leaders of Cai State and going north means abandoning a large area of land in the southern part of Cai State. Further speculation that when Cai State goes north and stabilizes again, 80% of them may release the western border and put the two countries Chen State and Zheng State in. Even half may open the northwest border and let the northward Dun Kingdom enter.
At that time, there would be a pot of porridge on the southern land of Cai State, and Cai State would inevitably take advantage of the troubled waters.
Once this happens, it will be difficult for us to stop the joint attacks of major powers such as Chen and Zheng.”
"Our fundamental purpose is not to eliminate Cai State, our fundamental purpose is to seize territory.
Give the western part of Cai to Xiao, let Xiao face Shangyong City for the time being and face the upcoming wontons. We took the opportunity to consolidate the occupied areas and completely absorb these areas."
"We have now occupied the area of four and a half counties of Cai State, including Huaihua County, which has far exceeded expectations. The most taboo thing in the world is the word greed, especially in marching and fighting. If we continue to move forward, once we fail, we will not even be able to save our existing achievements."
"The place we occupy now happens to have several natural dangers. It is close enough to our local area. The planes taken off from Anyang can fly here in just half an hour. This place will be completely covered by our firepower coverage."
"Let's take a step back, even if the state of Zheng, Chen and other countries do not attack, we must first consolidate the current achievements and turn this place into our logistics base so that we can continue to attack.
Let Xiao and Cai fight each other first, then the snipe and clam fight will be the best situation for us."
"A step back, Anyang and Tang Kingdom are developing rapidly. Overall, the longer it delays, the more beneficial it is to us. Therefore, we should focus on stability and development, and war is the second."
"Besides, soldiers are now fighting for more than two days and advancing more than 400 kilometers. They are already exhausted. In order to cope with future variables, soldiers must get sufficient rest and supplies must be fully replenished! Also, the rewards that should be received must be implemented as soon as possible to encourage soldiers' confidence."
Yan Zhengqing explained clearly. Li Wei read it over and over again, and finally had to nod. "It turns out that he is handsome. This kind of vision is something I need to learn. Through Cai's retreat, it can be predicted that Chen and Zheng may interfere.
When the person came, he sent the order. The army stopped advancing and retreated to the dangerous hills and gates thirty miles behind, and began to set up camps and consolidate the border.
If someone comes, pass on the orders and the goal of this war is completed. If others do not attack, we will no longer continue to attack. We will count the soldiers' merits and issue rewards. At the same time, we will send caravans to supplement supplies, etc. to let the soldiers start to rest.
Come and inform the court behind Li Yulong, we are in the current situation. Take the jade slip."
Then Li Wei contacted Yan Zhengqing and told him about his arrangements. Then nearly 300,000 elite soldiers from both sides began to camp and enjoy the fruits of victory. The soldiers immediately cheered.
A good commander can make the soldiers brave enough to fight, be willing to fight, and enjoy victory. Undoubtedly, Yan Zhengqing and Li Wei have done this.
When Anyang and the Tang army stopped advancing, Xiao Liming personally led 200,000 elite troops to Shangyong City. The 200,000 people almost surrounded Shangyong City.
Under the protection of ten masters, Xiao Liming soared into the air, "I, Xiao Liming, come and talk!"
On the wall of Shangyong City, the old man Cao Guobin stood up and said, "I have anything to say to me!"
Cao Guobin?! Xiao Liming frowned when he heard this name. As the saying goes, the shadow of a man's name, Cao Guobin's reputation has not been obvious in recent decades, but Xiao Liming, who also lived in more than a hundred years, is familiar with it!
The God of War in Cai three hundred years ago made great contributions to Cai. Not only did he fight bravely, but his command talent was outstanding. When Yan Zhengqing saw Cao Guobin, he also had to respectfully shout "teacher". This is also one of the reasons why Yan Zhengqing did not advocate attacking Shangyong City. Of course, this reason did not inform Li Wei.
In the Immortal Realm, the relationship between teachers and students is still relatively sacred. However, Yan Zhengqing only had a little superficial respect for Cao Guobin when the Yan family was facing the danger of extermination of the clan, Cao Guobin didn't even say anything, which became a knot between the two.
At present, after seeing Cao Guobin, Xiao Liming felt a little solemn in his heart. Three hundred years ago, Cao Guobin was the god of war. After three hundred years of precipitation, although Cao Guobin is old now, his wisdom as a commander must have improved qualitatively.
However, there is no way! Xiao Liming is also the emperor immediately. Although he is vigilant, he is still full of confidence! In the past three years, influenced by Anyang, the war model has undergone a qualitative change. The past war ideas may be useful, but they will definitely not match them completely.
These thoughts just instantly turned around Xiao Liming's mind, and Xiao Liming knew it. "I have met Senior Cao. Senior Cao, you are also a person who knows about military affairs. I don't think there is any explanation for the current situation.
Cai State is no longer able to make the world come true, and Senior Cao also needs to consider the soldiers under his command and the people in the city. Once this war starts, the soldiers will suffer heavy casualties, but the people in the city will not be spared.
At about noon, at the latest, nearly 300,000 elite soldiers from the Tang Dynasty will also arrive.
Especially the soldiers in Anyang, they are the devil who kills without blinking. Five or six hundred thousand people burned a fire with one fire. If the Anyang army arrives, I wonder if Shangyong City will turn into a torch? Ai ai”
Xiao Liming's words immediately caused a stir in many soldiers in Shangyong City. Yes, Anyang is a devil!
Cao Guobin was furious: "Anyang is so cruel and unruly, he will definitely be punished by God! But you are also invaders, and there are no fewer people who kill along the way. What are the faces to talk about Anyang!
Our soldiers are willing to use their lives to defend their country and protect their families!”
"No, no, you are wrong, Senior Cao." Xiao Liming waved his hand, "If it is a war that will win, then it is also necessary to defend the country. But is the Cai State worthy of everyone's efforts now? I heard that in the Cai State, the people are not fed, and the powerful family would rather pour wine and meat to the beasts than give them a bite of food.
If the people are dissatisfied and have a little complaint, they will be arrested and questioned to death. Dear soldiers, is this Cai State worthy of your protection?
Moreover, now Cai State will be defeated in every battle, and the generals will be corrupt and abuse their power, escape at the last minute, and even turn against each other. Generals and officials either escape or surrender, but they let you fight to the death. This is really the biggest joke in the world.
When you are corrupt and abused, you are arrogant and domineering, the officials and generals did not expect that when you die on the battlefield, you will let you beat the forward.
Do you know the speed of our Xiao Kingdom’s march?
The afternoon of the previous day, I sent troops and arrived here today. In less than two days, I marched 1,800 miles. Do you know what this means? It means that we have not been blocked along the way. As long as the army arrives, the city will open its doors to surrender.
Along the way, they encountered sixteen generals, the 12 generals who fled, and the remaining four generals all surrendered collectively!
Everyone, wake up, your sacrifice can only be transferred to the officials' escape.”
"Shut up!" Cao Guobin was furious, "The evil words confuse the public. You, an enemy general, have no credibility!"
Cao Guobin's words stabilized the soldiers of Cai who had begun to shake.
But Xiao Liming's eyes turned, "Senior Cao, if my words are not trustworthy, why can I stand here now? When my army of Xiao State set out, we still have 198,000 people!
Senior Cao, how do you explain this situation?"
Cao Guobin was speechless.
Xiao Liming immediately sneered: "Dear brothers from Cai State, my 200,000 army will attack the city in one hour. The war is ruthless, please consider it yourself. Within an hour, as long as you put down your weapons and swear not to be enemies with Xiao State, I, Xiao Liming, let you go!
After one hour, there will be no mercy!"
For a moment, the huge battlefield and the imperial city were silent, with only the sound of wind and flags.
Under the city, Xiao Liming led an army of 200,000 and was in full swing. The soldiers were like swords unsheathed, and could kill all the obstacles ahead at any time. The 200,000 army surrounded Shangyong City, as if they were a huge mouth, and they wanted to swallow the prey in front of them in one bite.
Suddenly hundreds of cannons, motorcycles and others emerged from Xiao Liming's army. The black muzzles aimed at the city walls, and they all seemed to be the eyes of devils.
On the city, the 800,000 army organized temporarily was scattered and was frightened by the 200,000 army outside the city. Many people began to shake after listening to Xiao Liming's words.
In any case, it is an indisputable fact that the 200,000 army of Xiao State marched 1,800 miles in two days. And as long as this fact is enough!
Cao Guobin looked at the current situation and began to raise his mind! Once the army of Tang State arrived, the consequences will not be completed.
Chapter completed!
