Tang Yin carefully studied Fan Shan's opinions and finally decided to adopt them. It's not that he thinks Fan Shan's strategy is very clever, but now he can't think of other strategies to deal with the enemy. However, Tang Yin did not break his promise and promoted Fan Shan's position as a military counselor to work with the army.

The rank of the military staff is higher than that of the military staff, second only to the military division. They can speak directly to the king and are also qualified to participate in large-scale military meetings.

According to Fan Shan's opinion, Tang Yin left the western border army in Gaochuan county and ordered it to avoid the enemy's edge and hide in the jungle, specializing in sneaking attacks on the enemy's logistics.

Tang Yin can keep the western border army led by Zuo Shuang in Gaochuan County, showing great trust in Zuo Shuang and the western border army, which makes Zuo Shuang excited and completely determined to follow Tang Yin to the death. In the next battle, the western border army greatly restrained the Chuanzhen coalition army in Gaochuan County, which became their heart trouble, which also greatly reduced the pressure of Tang Yin.

On Tang Yin's side, he sent Chifeng army and west border army successively. Only the directly subordinate army and the new army were left under his command, and the military strength was sharply reduced to 200000. However, these 200000 people still have hidden dangers. The combat effectiveness of the new army is a big headache for Tang Yin.

Tang Yin didn't stop much in Gaochuan county. He went all the way to the northeast and went straight to Jinyang.

Five days later, the wind army arrived in Jinyang.

At Jinyang, Tang Yin couldn't tell what it was like in her heart. In fact, Jinyang is not small, but the problem is that its city wall is very small, with a radius of only a few miles. Outside the city wall, there are dense houses and streets. If these houses are included, the area of Jinyang must be expanded at least one or two times.

Obviously, there was a problem with the original planning of Jinyang. The city was built too small. With the increase of population, the original urban area could not hold so many people, and the people who had nowhere to live could only build houses on the periphery of the city wall.

After the wind army arrived in Jinyang, it could not deploy defense first, but had to empty the people inside and outside the city wall. Otherwise, when the war comes, the sword and gun will have no eyes, and I don't know how many people will be killed by mistake!

Tang Yin also ordered Lotte and Aijia to send letters to the city leaders of songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng respectively, so that they could organize troops and manpower and do a good job in defense. The main force of the Chuanzhen coalition army could attack at any time. After receiving Tang Yin's order, the city leaders of the three cities, who dared to delay, sent letters to the county and the county one after another, requesting the county soldiers and the county soldiers to reinforce immediately. At the same time, they also gathered the officers and soldiers in the city to strengthen urban defense and store food and grass.

One day after the Fengjun army arrived in Jinyang, the whole people of Jinyang ran away, leaving only some strong men willing to stay as coolies. The leader of Jinyang city didn't run and didn't dare to run. He organized a few officers and soldiers and strong men in the city to cooperate with the wind army.

Tang Yin inspected his defense deployment on the city wall and looked at the empty houses inside and outside the city. He sighed that whether the war was smooth or not, it was the local people who suffered in the end.

The folk houses outside the city wall are not wasted. They are arranged door-to-door mechanism traps. Although they are very rough, it is absolutely no problem to kill enemy soldiers. In the city, all the riprap machines of the wind army are also concentrated. Once the enemy runs into the houses to avoid his own arrow array, the stone bullets of the riprap machine can collapse the houses and kill the enemy.

Tang Yin made preparations in Jinyang and only waited for the Sichuan Zhenlian army to attack.

At this time, the Chuanzhen coalition army was still moving slowly in Gaochuan county.

The terrain of Gaochuan county is too complex, with many mountains and woodlands. Ren Fang dare not advance rashly for fear of being ambushed by the Feng army. Although the spies have returned to him and Tang Yin led the army into Jinyang City, Ren Fang is still cautious. In addition, the Sichuan army has too many luggage and can't get up quickly if you want to walk fast. Heavy riprap machine, rush car, thunderbolt car, cloud car Arrow tower these siege weapons walk on the mountain road of Gaochuan County, which is extremely difficult.

The advantage of marching slowly is that it can prevent the enemy's ambush. Secondly, it also gives Ren enough time to ponder the operational intention of the wind army.

Nie Ze doesn't agree with Feng Jun's retreat to Jinyang. According to the information sent back by the spy, Jinyang is just a small bullet town with low walls. In his opinion, Tang Yin is looking for his own death.

He disliked that the Sichuan army was too slow, so he proposed to Ren Fang that he lead the 250000 Zhenjun to go first. When he broke Jinyang, cut off Tang Yin's head, and then come back to meet him. Listening to Nie Ze's words, it seems that he led the army to capture Jinyang, and the Sichuan army may not be able to reach Jinyang.

After listening to his words, Ren Fang shook his head and smiled and said, "general Nie, Tang Yin is not a monarch who doesn't understand soldiers. Don't you have any doubts about why he chose to garrison the Small City Jinyang?"

Nie Ze blinked and said carelessly, "he must have been chased by our army. He chose Jinyang to resist our army."

Ren Fang sighed and asked to get the map, spread it on the ground, and then raise his head to Nie Ze, Said: "general Nie, you see, the layout around Jinyang is very interesting. It is adjacent to the three cities. Songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng are less than a hundred miles away from Jinyang. If our army invades Jinyang, once the three cities send troops for reinforcements, it will take less than a day to arrive. Won't my army be attacked by the enemy?"

Nie Ze inhaled. He really hadn't studied the terrain around Jinyang carefully. He lowered his head and looked at the map carefully. He found that Ren Fang was right. The layout of Jinyang and the surrounding three cities was really strange, mainly because it was too close. He asked subconsciously, "how many troops are there in songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng?"

Ren Fang shook his head and said, "the spies who went out to inquire have not come back. The specific situation is not clear. However, there are not a few troops who want to come to these three cities, otherwise Tang Yin would never be so confident and bold to stay in Jinyang."

Nie Ze is also a commander who is good at using troops. After listening to Ren Fang's analysis, he whispered that he was reasonable. He rubbed his chin and murmured, "this is some trouble." Then he looked up and asked Ren Fang, "Ren Shuai, what are you going to do?"

Ren Fang smiled and said, "I can't find a good way for a while. General Nie, do you want to fight this battle now?"

This time, Nie Ze was not in a hurry to fight. He shook his head and said, "if only Jinyang, I am confident to fight, but * * * has three cities as its backup. This battle can't be fought only by our army!"

"So we'd better march slowly and try to break the enemy while walking." Said Ren with a smile.

He said he couldn't think of a way, but in fact he had already made up his mind. Ren Fang is an expert in fighting tough battles. There are at least dozens of cities captured by the state of Sichuan. He is experienced and experienced in using troops. In his opinion, it is also easy to break Jinyang. Encircling points for support is to feign attack Jinyang and lead songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng to send troops for reinforcement. Whichever side comes first will attack which side, so that it will come and go.

War, in fact, is the commander-in-chief of the two armies to figure out the other party's mind. If the calculation is right, the next battle can defeat the enemy step by step. If the calculation is wrong, he will be defeated by the enemy.

Ren Fang believes that if Tang Yin dares to garrison Jinyang, there must be heavy troops in the surrounding three cities. In fact, the three cities of songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng do not have many troops, and they may not be able to reach 5000 together. Fan Shan's strategy itself is a dangerous chess. Tang Yin has no way to adopt it, and he also has a strong spirit of adventure.

The intelligence of the Allied troops still marched back to Sichuan and returned to Sichuan slowly. Among them, the scouts who inquired about songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng also returned one after another. The information proved was quite expected by Ren Fang. The result of their investigation was that there were only more than 1000 defenders in songqiu, Ningding and Taifeng, which was far from Ren Fang's calculation.

If the investigation report is true and the troops of the three cities are less than 5000, it is impossible to reinforce Jinyang. Jinyang is no different from Gucheng, but the question is, is your investigation report true? Will the other party hide the main force?

The better he is at unifying the army, the more conceited he is. Ren Fang is like this, because the intelligence brought back by the spy has violated common sense. He didn't believe it at all. He still insisted on the tactics he had originally conceived and surrounded the troops for help.

A few days later, the Sichuan army went to Lishan city in Gaochuan county. More than 600000 troops captured Lishan with little effort.

After crossing Lishan Mountain and going north, Jinyang is 500 miles away. Ren Fang specially left 20000 troops to garrison Lishan city. He used this place as the logistics stronghold of the Sichuan Zhenzhen coalition army to store grain, grass and baggage.

Three days later, the main force of the Chuan Zhen coalition finally arrived in Jinyang.

Seeing the strange city of Jinyang, the two armies of Chuanzhen were very surprised. Although other cities also have examples of residential houses built outside the city wall, they are not large in scale, only a few sporadically. Jinyang is better. The number of residential houses outside the city wall is more than those inside the city wall, and the area is also much larger.

The watching Nie Zexiao couldn't close his mouth and sniffed: "how did the city wall of Jinyang be built? How did it all be built into civilian houses? The city Lord who built the city wall should have cut thousands of knives!"

Ren Fang was also happy and said, "I think people have been buried for hundreds of years!"

Nie Ze asked, "how about we send troops to explore the deficiency and reality of the wind army first?"

Ren Fang waved his hand and said, "don't worry. Our army has come all the way. It's not too late to rest for a day."

Fighting with Ren Fang, Nie Ze didn't feel anything else. Instead, he was very impressed by his compassion for the soldiers. Nie Ze had no opinion, nodded and said, "OK, everything is left to handsome!"

Chuan Zhen allied forces set up a camp two miles away from Jinyang. Then Ren Fang picked out a group of elite people from Hunter origin and asked them to sneak into the houses outside Jinyang city after dark to destroy the traps arranged inside.

Nie Ze was surprised by his order and couldn't help asking, "Ren Shuai, how did you know there would be a trap in the house?"

Ren Fang smiled and said, "the wind army left so many houses outside the city for our army to hide arrows. If I expected it to be right, there must be mechanism traps."
