In the last war, Chu Xizhao was defeated and died. Only 12 of the 450,000 troops who participated in the war returned. In addition to the 60,000 troops that Chu Xizhao originally stayed in Tianqishan and Youping City, today's Tianqi Mountain There are still 180,000 forbidden troops on the Qishan front line.
In addition, there are still 60,000 forbidden troops in the imperial capital, and Weiguan in the north of Henan Province and Yangguan in the south have a total of 40,000 troops.
Da Cang decided to locate the imperial capital in Henan Road. One of the pure reasons was that Henan Road was surrounded by dangers from all directions.
There is Weiguan in the north. Behind Weiguan, there is a big river that separates Henan Road from Hebei Road. There are dangers in mountains and rivers. The reason why the coalition forces chose to abandon the mountain instead of attacking Henan Road from the south was a very important consideration.
In addition, if they choose to attack from Hebei Road to Henan Road, both the Three Kings and Xuanyuan Huang will need to bear huge logistical pressure, especially Xuanyuan Huang, whose territory is in the southeast corner of Da Cang.
From Tokaido to Hebei Road, it spans almost half of the country. Considering this aspect, Guangyin is the center of several princes, and the logistical pressure is relatively small.
There is Yang Pass to the south and Liang Pass to the west. Although there are no these gates to the east, a towering Tianqi Mountain is more terrifying than these gates.
There is no need to build any checkpoints in Tianqi Mountain. Just guarding key places is more deterrent than those checkpoints.
According to the news received by the coalition forces, when the news of Chu Xizhao's defeat spread, the old emperor Huangfuyue led 50,000 forbidden troops and 100,000 government troops back to Henan Road as quickly as possible.
Since there was almost no rest in between, troop carriers were used all the way. Under full march, in just seven days, the old emperor had crossed Guandong Road and Hexi Road, and reached Henan as quickly as possible. road.
The old prince had to be anxious. Chu Xizhao was defeated and died. Even if he was not at the scene, he could imagine how low the morale of the remaining soldiers had dropped.
Military God Chu Xizhao, perhaps in the hearts of many Forbidden Army soldiers, is a god-like existence who is always victorious in every battle. How many enemies have trembled under his shadow in his life?
However, now, not only has this god been defeated, but he himself has also died. The final result is that the higher he stands, the harder he falls.
If he returns too late, hundreds of thousands of rebels will face the imperial capital once the Tianqishan defense line is broken.
Moreover, the old emperor ordered a hundred thousand troops to garrison outside Yangguan and Liangguan respectively, and the remaining soldiers had already garrisoned in the imperial city and Weiguan. He himself did not rest day and night. He only stayed in the imperial city for one day and arranged After the incident, they had already arrived at the front line of Tianqi Mountain.
In short, in today's Henan Province, Huangfu Mingzhao's court still maintains 330,000 forbidden troops and 100,000 government soldiers, which does not include the 150,000 government soldiers facing Zhenbei Prefecture.
After experiencing such a disastrous defeat, the Huangfu Mingzhao court still maintained such a strong force, which shows the dynasty's heritage.
However, a tiger cannot hold back a pack of wolves. The 150,000 government troops mobilized by Hedong and Hexi Provinces are indeed unable to compare with the heroic and capable Zhenbei Army in terms of combat strength. With more than twice the strength, they are still no match for the Zhenbei Army. Lian and the Zhenbei Army I don’t even have the confidence to fight in the field.
In the west, now that the Zhenxi Army is no longer oppressed by the old emperor, it is obvious that they will soon join in this grand event of fierce tigers fighting against packs of wolves.
In the east, there was the largest enemy of Huangfu Mingzhao's court. Although the coalition forces killed a thousand and suffered 800 losses, they still maintained a strength of 530,000. Moreover, this does not include the remaining 120,000 second-rate cannon fodder troops of Tianshi Dao.
Moreover, it is almost impossible for the Huangfu Mingzhao Court to have any reinforcements. Although Zhendong Mansion and Zhennan Mansion have not betrayed the Huangfu Mingzhao Court, the Huangfu Mingzhao Court clearly looks like the sun is about to set, so these two It is really difficult to destroy a huge family that has been passed down for hundreds of years and the Huangfu Mingzhao court!
Furthermore, Da Gan sent out troops, and the momentum of the troops was stronger than before. Last time, they only dispatched Lei Zhaohai, who was ranked 12th on the Dragon Tiger Ranking, but this time, there were also Lei Zhaohai, who was ranked 12th on the Dragon Tiger Ranking. Cang Mang Gui General Zhang Xuanliang ranked twenty-fourth.
You know, this guy is two places higher than Yan Ba on the Dragon Tiger Ranking, and Yan Ba is only ranked twenty-sixth.
In addition, there are two other people who entered the Dragon Tiger Ranking and participated in this battle. However, those two people have already been ranked outside the 50th place. There is a high probability that they are basically just some junior god-level warriors. Well, these two people are the blood wolf general Lang Han. It is said that this one is a child raised by wild wolves in the mountains and forests. I don’t know whether it is true or not. The other is Bai Jiwu, the hammer general. He sounds like a fierce general who can overwhelm others with his strength.
With an army of 600,000, and combined with these four unparalleled generals, Zhennan Mansion will be in big trouble this time! It's a pity that no one in Da Cang can care about him at this time.
Faced with such a crisis, Ma Sui no longer cared about being reserved and sent several letters asking for help to his master.
However, there were very few responders.
There are only a few people in the Renjiao. Except for the few who have gone down the mountain, the rest cannot be called down even if you want to. At least, Ma Sui didn't have this face anyway. If it were his master, he might be able to call the remaining people down.
Chanjiao didn't take this letter asking for help seriously at all. Because there is a fundamental conflict in the ideas between Chanjiao and Jiejiao, the relationship between the two sects has never been good? On the surface, after meeting him, he may seem like a senior to a younger brother, but the internal contradiction is deep!
Tianzong, they are similar to human sects, most of them are dedicated to cultivating Taoism, and they have quite a sense of inaction!
The Renzong has too deep entanglements with the secular world, such as Dacan Longhu Mountain and Daqian Wudang Mountain. These are the sphere of influence of the Renzong, and they are also the most important forces. They are basically entangled with the dynasties of all parties. , do not move lightly.
The only people that Ma Sui could turn to for help were his fellow disciples from the Jie Jiao sect, but even among those from the Jie Jiao sect, there were many people who were invisible and could not be contacted in a short period of time.
Most of those who can be contacted are heavenly beings and have little effect on the battlefield. Of course, after all, Jiejiao has always been a typical representative group with a large number of people, and Ma Sui was still able to win over a few people.
It doesn't matter what the situation of the Zhennan Army is, whether the coalition forces care or not. After all, they can't care about it now. After all, after Chu Xizhao, the battle between the coalition forces and the old emperor is about to begin!
