Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2006: soldiers enter Guangyin, people are in panic and the city is about to collapse

Although Huangfu Duan sent Huangfu Zi'an away, he was very clear that when the black cavalry appeared, the situation had already reversed towards the Northern Han.

When this army appeared, the entire situation on the battlefield was already under the control of the Northern Han.

If the Northern Han really used a strategy to conceal the truth in the Henan battlefield, then it would not only be this part of the Black Cavalry that quietly left the Henan battlefield, but also many more troops.

Well, at least, Guangyin is already in danger.

The importance of Xialin lies in the threat it poses to Guangyin. A light cavalry unit can reach Guangyin's seat in just one or two days if it marches day and night.

Once the Northern Han army arrives here, they will attack Guangyin's throat in an instant.

In this case, I am afraid that the soldiers in Jiang Shuihan's place will be in turmoil, and I am afraid that Meng Tian will take advantage of it.

And if we think about it further, if Henan Road wants to conceal their plan and a large number of troops come quietly, they must rely on water routes.

If the Han army takes the water route, this means that the Tianhe Navy, at least part of it, will probably also accompany the army.

As a result, there will also be certain impacts in southern and northern Qinghai.

After all, judging from the existing battle reports, Xuanyuan Huang has now successfully landed, and the battle line has been pushed forward to more than a hundred miles.

On the river, the Dayan Navy can hold off the East China Sea Navy, but if the Tianhe Navy is added, I'm afraid they will not be able to cope with it.

By then, if the river was blocked by the Fierce Whale Legion, Xuanyuan Huang would be in danger.

Once the situation develops to this point, the entire battle will be a complete defeat.

Dongcang and Zhongcang, the situation is hopeless.

Coupled with the critical situation in Xicang, the more Huangfu Duan thought about it, the more his heart sank.

In this battle, all the forces belonging to the Huangfu family seemed to have been caught in an awkward situation in a short period of time. Each of them had their own troubles, and the three families were in imminent danger.

"Where is the way out for my Da Cang?"

In the last moments of his life, Huangfu Duan let out a sigh of despair.

As the bloodline of the Huangfu family, they see no hope of reviving the Huangfu bloodline. Instead, they can only watch it decline step by step. How cruel is this matter to them, the bloodline of the Huangfu family?

Is their four hundred year reign of Great Cang really coming to an end?
………………

"General Xue, after this battle, Dongcang will never be able to recover!"

Although Wanyan Xieye had more than a dozen wounds of varying sizes on his body and was extremely weak at this time, he still forced himself to come and pay a visit to Xue Rengui as soon as possible.

After all, among the military generals of the entire Han Dynasty, apart from Han Xin, Xue Rengui was one of the next few people. He was promoted to the commander of a large legion. In the Han military, he was a true giant-level figure.

In particular, he once served as the leader of the Black Knights. As everyone knows, the Black Knights are the cradle of officer training, and just based on this identity, he is destined to have a great influence in the army.

Personally, if Xue Rengui had not arrived in time, none of his brothers’ lives, including his own, would have been saved.

Even for Wu Changkong, who is at the level of a god general, there is not much chance that he can survive.

After all, Wu Changkong himself had been seriously injured in the long battle, and was exhausted both physically and mentally. Under such circumstances, once the city was breached, facing the siege of tens of thousands of troops, how confident was he that he could break out?

In the face of a large-scale army, especially a large-scale army with a reasonable combination of various arms, the power of any individual is extremely insignificant.

Although Wu Changkong is strong, he is far from being as strong as Ye Shangjue and Tuoba Longxiang.

"The capital has been destroyed, the emperor is dead, and now even the troops have been lost!"

"Dong Cang, his luck has indeed run out!" Dongmen Zhong also echoed.

In this battle, even if the 50,000 soldiers who originally followed Huangfu Duan and Huangfu Gui were not killed in the battle, most of them were captured, and only a few were able to escape.

It can be said that these 50,000 soldiers were almost completely lost.

After this battle, Dongcang's troops were reduced to only the remnants of Yang Su.

Therefore, Dongcang really has no chance of turning things around.

On the surface, although Dongcang had taken over Qingbei, they still controlled half of Qingnan and part of Heyang.

However, only the land of Qingbei is the foundation of Dongcang. Whether it is the land of Qingnan or Heyang, their rule is unstable for Dongcang.

If their military strength was still strong, this instability would not be exposed. However, the situation is different now. With their military strength almost depleted, this instability will also erupt.

Not to mention, an alliance is only meaningful when the strengths of the two parties are equal or the gap in strength is not big.

If the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, then the reliability of the ally will need to be questioned!
Sometimes, allies are even more terrifying than your opponents!
Even a rough man like Dongmen Zhong understands this principle.

"This battle was all thanks to General Wanyan who held out for so many days!"

"For this great victory, the general should be credited with the main contribution!" Xue Rengui said modestly.

Wanyan Xieye’s contribution to this battle was indeed indispensable. If he had not survived this month, once the city was breached by Huangfu Gui, it would be useless even if Xue Rengui led the Black Cavalry to attack.

After all, he couldn't use these 5,000 black cavalry to attack a city garrisoned by tens of thousands of people.

Not to mention tens of thousands of people, even if there were only a few thousand people stationed in Xialin, Xue Rengui's army would have no chance of defeating the enemy unless they launched a surprise attack and rushed into the city by surprise. Otherwise, if they did not rush into the city in the first place, their army would basically be unable to defeat the enemy.

Moreover, if Wanyan Xie had not held on until today, even if their troops arrived, their next plan would have been impossible to implement.

"May I ask, General? I wonder whether the next step is to rush to Guangyin at full speed, or to cut off the river and completely destroy Xuanyuan Dayan!" Wanyan Xie also bowed and asked.

When Xue Rengui's troops appeared, Han Xin's plan was completely revealed.

The most fundamental point of Han Xin's layout was to be certain of the appearance of Xue Rengui's troops. It was precisely because of the information asymmetry between others and Han Xin that they could never see through Han Xin's layout.

This is why intelligence is so important during the march and battle.

Whether they are generals or counselors, every decision or plan they make is based on existing intelligence, rather than relying on their own fantasies.

No matter how wild an idea is, if it is not based on reality, it will not succeed. If the intelligence is not in place, no matter how powerful the strategist or general is, he will not be able to play his true role on the battlefield.

"Of course we should attack Guangyin!" Xue Rengui said without hesitation.

In this southern expedition, their main target was Zhongcang, and the most important place in Zhongcang was Henan.

After taking over Henan, almost all of Da Cang’s most valuable lands were under their control.

In this way, the most important point is that no matter how everyone develops in the future, the power gap between the other forces in Da Cang and the Han Dynasty will only get wider.

The foundation of each path is there. No matter how much other paths develop, they can never reach the level of the Four Rivers Land.

Moreover, after taking control of Henan, it means that the remaining separatist forces in Da Cang are completely cut off by them, making it difficult for them to collude with each other.

After that, the big men just needed to slowly deal with them.

As for Dongcang, just take it if you can!
Now, Han Xin and Meng Tian have taken over Qingbei first, which is already an unexpected surprise.

The next step is to put Zhongcang first.

After all, among the several separatist forces, Zhongcang is indeed the strongest.

After defeating the big dragon first, it would be relatively easier to deal with the remaining small snakes.

Han Xin made a move at Xialin mainly for Guangyin.

For Guangyin, once Xia Lin is controlled, it can be like a sharp blade strangling Guangyin's throat.

Of course, while achieving this goal, Han Xin also used Guangyin to attract most of Dongcang's troops. He not only successfully cooperated with Xue Rengui to annihilate this part of the troops, but also eased the pressure on the Qingbei battlefield.

The real purpose behind Guangyin is still Henan. If they can take Guangyin, they can follow the previous strategic thinking, take the Tianqi line, threaten Henan from the east, and make Zhongcang unable to take care of both sides.

At the same time, if the main force of Jiang Shuihan's army can be completely wiped out in Guangyin, the entire Zhongcang, except for the main force of Henan, will have no more troops. In this way, Zhongcang will be isolated and helpless.

Of course, although the current main purpose is Guangyin, it is not impossible to cut off the river at the same time.

After all, to cut off the river, no other troops were needed, only the Tianhe Navy was enough.

"Rush to Guangyin!"

"But I don't know how many soldiers the general has brought. I'm afraid I can't help the general in this battle!" Wanyan Xie also said with a wry smile.

After attacking Guangyin, they can cooperate with Meng Tian's troops to launch an annihilation war against the 100,000 troops of Guangyin Jiangshuihan. After that, the entire eastern part of Henan will be under their threat.

This is a big battle!

Any general who wants to make a name for himself through meritorious service will not give up such a good opportunity.

However, Wanyan Xie is now truly powerless and cannot participate even if he wants to.

After a month of holding out, most of his men were already injured. Most of the generals around him were also injured, and there were only a few who could stand up and fight.

And strangling Xialin is like strangling the throat of Guangyin government.

However, this battle is still not that easy.

Guangyin is a government seat after all, and the city walls are tall and solid. If there are not enough troops, you will not be able to take it down even if you attack rashly.

War, after all, still depends on people.

Without people, this war cannot be won.

"Don't worry, the additional 80,000 troops will be here soon!" Xue Rengui said confidently.

At this time, Jiang Shuihan's troops in Guangyin were basically concentrated in the northwest of Guangyin, competing with Meng Tian's troops.

Once his 80,000 main troops arrived, he would still worry about not being able to take over the empty Guangyin government.

His 80,000 troops were on the river at this time. After landing, it would only take two days to get here.

It's not that these 80,000 soldiers do not want to land with the 5,000 black cavalry, but once they land together, then with the size of this army, there is a high possibility that their whereabouts will be exposed in advance.

If Huangfu Duan or Huangfu Gui noticed something and fled ahead of time, it would not have a big impact on the subsequent attack on Guangyin. However, if these 50,000 soldiers were not dealt with, it would inevitably be bad, and it might even affect the subsequent blocking of the river.

"In this way, Guangyin will have no worries!" Wanyan Xie also felt relieved.

Guangyin now has Meng Tian's 120,000 troops in front of it. If these 80,000 troops are inserted into it, Jiang Shuihan will not be able to stop them alone.

However, due to the asymmetry of information, Wanyan Xie was only thinking about the battlefield in Guangyin, but what Xue Rengui was really worried about was the battlefield in Henan Road.

This duel was not planned by Han Xin at the beginning, but was put together by a group of counselors led by Zhang Liang and Zhang Bin, but this plan required Han Xin's cooperation.

However, when Han Xin received the news, he took it upon himself to change another part.

Although Han Xin acted on his own in these matters, it can be said that he acted first and reported later, and Wang Yu was directly notified by Han Xin, which is not the way to do things.

However, Wang Yu didn't say much.

Firstly, Han Xin had already executed first and reported later, so it was a foregone conclusion and they could only cooperate.

Secondly, from the overall perspective, Han Xin's self-proclaimed changes were not completely unreasonable.

After all, their control over Qingbei Road in Henan Road was obtained through battle reports, and the information in these battle reports was delayed.

Therefore, his grasp of the battle situation over there is naturally not as good as Han Xin who is right there.

Two days later, under the leadership of Guan Yu, 80,000 troops officially landed at the river and came to Xialin, where they successfully joined up with Xue Rengui's vanguard.

After that, after the army rested for a day, with Nangong Shi as the vanguard, 80,000 soldiers and horses, plus 5,000 black cavalry, claiming to have 100,000 soldiers and horses, they officially marched straight to Guangyin.

When the news that 100,000 troops were about to attack and would arrive at the city in just three or two days reached Guangyin, the entire Guangyin became panic-stricken for a while after hearing the news.
