In the summer of the 387th year of the Great Liang calendar, several northwestern prefectures of Liang suffered a century-long drought. Due to the government's ineffective disaster relief, wide...
Sun Hao sat in his tent, looking at the map of Northern Jin on the table, and fell into deep thought.
In fact, Sun Hao was not very interested in establishing the so-called Zhennan Protectorate.
Being able to be conferred the title of Marquis of Zhenxi by the imperial court and leaving Xizhou to his descendants as his family's hereditary fiefdom, Sun Hao felt that his life was quite fulfilling. He had no intention of replacing the Chen family of Liang.
However, Sun Hao knew that the top leaders of the Zhenxi Army, including all the strategists and generals from the "annual signing system", hoped that Sun Hao would be able to ascend to the "Supreme" position in the future.
Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao strongly supported the Zhenxi Army's counterattack on the Northern Jin Kingdom, and I'm afraid there was also a hint of this in their thinking.
Forget it, let’s talk about the future later!
If the 1.4 million Northern Jin troops in Yongqing City could be destroyed, then not to mention Lianzhou, perhaps the entire Northern Jin Kingdom would fall into the hands of the Zhenxi Army!
On the night the Zhenxi Army arrived at Fengyuan City, at the county government office in Yongqing City, the Northern Jin Army's commander, Rong Guogong Guan Qizhong, excitedly said to his generals, "The 400,000 reinforcements sent by the court have entered Leizhou.
In about four days, we will be able to reach Yongqing City and join the main force of our Northern Expedition Army.
In this way, the total military strength of our Northern Jin State in Yongqing City will reach 1.48 million.
Even if the 400,000 Liang State Zhenxi Army had already arrived at Fengyuan City, our Northern Expedition Army would still have an absolute advantage in manpower."
The current strength of the Northern Jin army in Yongqing City is slightly more than the number detected by the Liang Kingdom's Jinyiwei, reaching 1.08 million.
Pingzhang Marquis Wang Shisen said with some emotion: "I heard that even the 76-year-old Duke Qing personally led his sons and nephews to join the support army.
This time, our Northern Jin State has used all its national strength to fight this decisive battle with the Liang army."
Commander Rong Guogong Guan Qizhong then said: "It is no exaggeration to say that we have mobilized the entire nation. The emperor has also included 8,000 palace guards in the reinforcements. This shows how important this decisive battle is to our Northern Jin Kingdom.
Therefore, in this decisive battle with the Liang army, our Northern Expedition Army must win and absolutely cannot lose. If we lose, our Northern Jin State may face the danger of national destruction."
After a pause, Guan Qizhong's tone suddenly became a little low, "Of course, the next decisive battle will definitely be very tragic.
The soldiers of Daliang are the best in the world, and the soldiers of Zhenxi are the best in Daliang!
The Liang army now gathered in Fengyuan City includes not only several elite border troops from the northern part of Liang State, but also the Zhenxi Army, which is invincible throughout the entire Western Regions.
Everyone here, including me, must be prepared to die on the battlefield."
At this time, Liao Yongan, the Duke of Jiang, suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "The country has nurtured nobles for two hundred years. It is time for you to die for the country!
Duke Jiang Liao Yongan is willing to fight to the death for his country!
Pingzhang Hou Wang Shisen also stood up excitedly, "Pingzhang Hou Wang Shisen, I am willing to fight to the death for my country!"
"Ningjiang Hou Fu Zhong is willing to fight to the death for his country!"
"Nanxiong Marquis Zhao Yi is willing to fight to the death for his country!"
…
The high-ranking generals of the Northern Jin army's Northern Expedition were all nobles of the Northern Jin. After all the noble generals expressed their opinions, the commander-in-chief, Rongguo Public Relations Qi Zhong, also stood up.
With a clang, Guan Qizhong drew his sword and said, "In this battle, I, the Northern Jin, will defeat the Liang army!"
On the third day after the arrival of the 400,000 reinforcements from the Northern Jin State, that is, July 17, 392 in the Daliang calendar, the Northern Jin army and the Liang army each deployed their battle formations on the plain between Yongqing City and Fengyuan City.
According to the arrangement of Yong'an King Chen Su, the 400,000 Zhenxi Army was placed on the left wing.
Prince Yong'an personally led the remaining 240,000 troops from the seven imperial guards, as well as 20,000 Leizhou troops, 20,000 Xinzhou troops and 20,000 Chizhou troops, and was located in the middle route.
The 40,000 Ganyang Army, the 40,000 Huaide Army, the 20,000 Shaochang Army, the 50,000 Anfeng Army, the 40,000 Xingling Army, the 10,000 Tiansu Army, the 40,000 Yongtong Army, as well as the 40,000 Pizhou Wing Army and the 20,000 Huaizhou Wing Army were all placed on the right wing by Prince Yong'an.
Before the war, neither side had any intention of sending generals to fight, so as soon as the war started, it immediately became intense.
“Marshal, the right wing is almost unstoppable!
The Liang State Zhenxi Army's heavy cavalry is truly formidable!" Pingzhang Marquis Wang Shisen said urgently to the commander-in-chief, Rong State Public Security General Guan Qizhong.
After the war started, Sun Hao immediately ordered the 20,000 Tiger and White-robed Cavalry of the North and South Guards and the East and West Guards of the Zhenxi Army, as well as the 20,000 Tiger and White-robed Cavalry of the Personal Guards, to charge forward directly.
These 80,000 heavy cavalry were all centurions with a combat power value of 85 points. Together with the powerful generals leading the troops, they defeated the 100,000 heavy cavalry of the Northern Jin Dynasty in one encounter.
Guan Qizhong, commander of the Northern Jin army, immediately dispatched a battle formation of 150,000 infantrymen, hoping to stop the heavy cavalry of the Zhenxi army.
Unfortunately, the impact of the Huben Cavalry and the White Robe Cavalry was too strong. The large formation composed of 150,000 Northern Jin Army infantry was about to be broken by the Huben Cavalry and the White Robe Cavalry.
"Send a message to the Duke of Jiang, telling him to lead his 160,000 infantry and cavalry to charge forward and resist the heavily armored cavalry of the Liang State Zhenxi Army at all costs!
Send another order to the Marquis of Nanxiong, commanding him to lead his 80,000 infantry and cavalry to quickly gather the scattered heavy cavalry and infantry on the right wing, and be ready to support the Duke of Jiang at any time!"
Guan Qizhong then said to Pingzhang Hou Wang Shisen in a deep voice, "Pingzhang Hou, I plan to have you lead your troops to reinforce the right wing.
The right wing faces the attack of the Liang State Zhenxi Army. If we cannot withstand it, the consequences will be disastrous."
