1338 The Mu family joins the war
Facing the menacing Xiazhou Army, the unprepared Mianyuan Army was caught off guard. In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Mianyuan Army was lower than that of the Xiazhou Army. The Mianyuan Army only lasted for half a day before the entire army collapsed. But the Xiazhou Army
Not content with this, they launched a bloody pursuit of the defeated Mianyuan Legion.
At this time, the Xiazhou Army, encouraged by Zhang Hanting, was in a state of madness. They ignored the custom of not fighting at night and pursued and killed the defeated Mianyuan Army soldiers day and night. For three days and three days,
The continuous pursuit and killing during the night caused heavy losses to the Mianyuan Legion. More than 200,000 people were killed, and more than 100,000 people were missing. A legion with a full strength of 400,000 people ended up with less than 50,000 people in the West Sea Fleet.
Under the cover of naval guns, they fled to Nanting Port.
After completely defeating the Mianyuan Army, Zhang Hanting ordered the Xiazhou Army to set up camp thirty kilometers north of Nanting Port, completely isolating Ye Darkfeng's main force from the South China Sea Fleet.
Ye Darkfeng was furious when he learned that the Mianyuan Army was suddenly attacked, almost completely wiped out, and his retreat was cut off by the Xiazhou Army. He couldn't figure out why the Mu family, who had always had a tacit understanding with him before, would be so angry when he was about to
At the critical moment of opening up the connection between the east and west fronts, he suddenly started to attack himself. However, the logistics supply line was cut off, but he was not allowed to have any hesitation, and he immediately launched his army to attack the Xiazhou Army.
However, Prime Minister Dong Pingan believed that the Mu family would never attack the Mianyuan Army without any reason. He tried his best to dissuade Ye Anfeng and sent people to communicate with the Xiazhou Army before making a decision after the situation became clear.
Ye Anfeng sent several groups of envoys to the Xiazhou Army's headquarters, but they were all detained by Zhang Hanting. In the end, Ye Anfeng spent a lot of effort to figure out why the Xiazhou Army suddenly launched an attack on the Mianyuan Army.
It was because their chief general, Mu Ye, was killed by a group of people suspected of being officers and soldiers of the Mianyuan Legion.
Ye Anfeng clearly remembered that he had repeatedly told the Mianyuan Legion not to take the initiative to attack the Xiazhou Legion. There was no way they would risk resisting the order and assassinating Mu Ye. There must be some misunderstanding here.
Although Ye Anfeng knew in his heart that all this was due to a misunderstanding, he could not provide any evidence to prove that there was no relationship between the Mianyuan Legion and Muye's murder. After thinking for a long time, Ye Anfeng still chose to endure it.
, he sent people with heavy gifts to the Xiazhou Army garrison to meet with Zhang Hanting, hoping to clarify the misunderstanding and allow the Xiazhou Army to withdraw from the area on the south bank of the Laodao River and no longer be stuck on his own logistics transportation line.
However, the Xiazhou Army insisted that the Mianyuan Army sent people to assassinate their general, and firmly refused to give up the south bank of the Laodao River. After several days of delay, the supplies in the Ye Anfeng Army were already insufficient. In order to open up the logistics supply line
, Ye Anfeng had no choice but to move his army south and launched an attack on the Xiazhou Army.
Considering that the two sides were already at odds, Ye Anfeng decided not to hold back anymore and sent out all the main forces to launch a comprehensive siege against the Xiazhou Army stationed on the south bank of the Laodao River. Three days later, the Xiazhou Army was completely wiped out, with only the deputy commander-in-chief
Zhang Hanting fled back to Georgia with less than 10,000 people.
Mu Fan, who thought he could sit on the Diaoyutai and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, suddenly received the news that his favorite son was killed in a sneak attack by the Mianyuan Army. His whole body was about to explode. In anger, he ordered the mobilization of the Mu family
All the troops in the Chen Kingdom, including the Kangzhou Army, the Sangzhou Army and most of the Mu Family Guards, went to Aizhou, intending to fight Ye Anfeng to the death to avenge his son.
However, the Supreme Elders of the Mu family rejected his action plan. One of the reasons was that the Supreme Elders believed that Mu Ye's death was suspicious and was not necessarily caused by the Mianyuan Legion of Nanchen Kingdom, and asked Mu Fan to investigate
Act after knowing clearly. Another reason is that the military strength of the Mu family in Chen Kingdom is not enough to pose a sufficient threat to Ye Anfeng's army, especially their maritime power is far lower than that of Ye Anfeng. Even if they can defeat Ye Anfeng,
At most, Dark Wind's main army can only drive Ye Dark Wind's army back to the sea. The greater possibility is that both sides will suffer losses. In this way, the Mu family's power in the Chen Kingdom will be greatly weakened, and Ye Xi will eventually be defeated.
Much cheaper.
PS: Every major family in the elixir world basically has a group of supreme elders. This group of supreme elders is usually composed of the outgoing head of the family and core members of the family who are senior and have outstanding abilities. The group of supreme elders
Holding the power to appoint the head of the family and the decision-making power on major events related to the family's life and death is the true core of power of a family.
Mu Fan, who was not willing to accept that his revenge plan was rejected by the Council of Elders, began to brag about Ye Anfeng's threat and persuaded the Council of Supreme Elders to allow him to dispatch one million troops from the Mao Kingdom to the Chen Kingdom. As long as the Mao Kingdom's army
