Chapter 665 To send troops or not?

In Mingning City in front of Lin Si, an army of 40 divine flames had gathered at this time.

At this point in the battle, it is impossible for the Shenyan people who have been defeated by the Seventh Army to continue to be so stupid and let them break down one by one.

Of course, if Kong Sheng hadn't expected this result and gave up attacking the cities west of Mingning and east of Baoxin in advance, I am afraid that Mingning City would not be able to mobilize so many troops now.

After all, there is no advance arrangement for the mobilization of military horses in various cities. It is difficult for the coaches of the various military horses below to coordinate, not to mention whether they have this awareness.

Lin Si's original plan was to continue to advance. It was impossible for the 10,000+ Shenyan army in Mingning City to resist the Longyan army in his hand.

This fortified city was likely to be taken down by him in one fell swoop, and the other six small and medium-sized cities to the west could also be captured in one fell swoop.

The men and horses in his hands are already stronger than ever.

Qi Jing, a master of Heaven Realm from Bilan, was added to the team. In addition, there were already more than 50 people in Breakthrough, and no less than a thousand people in Extreme Realm, with a total strength of more than 30.

But there is no way, now he can only stop and move on.

Because the Shenyan army in Mingning City ahead is more numerous than them, and the masters are stronger than them.

Among the 40 Divine Flame Army in the city, there are three people in the Heaven Realm, and as many as 70 people in the Breakthrough Realm.

After knowing the number of the opponent's troops, Lin Si still carried out the first siege, but soon had to retreat temporarily.

This retreat was actually deliberate.

Even if Lin Si had the means to tear off the protective cover, he couldn't enter the city at all, because the Shenyan army defending the city was stronger than them. Relying on the fortifications on the top of the city, he was only looking for death by force.

There are many mountains and forests to the east of Mingning City. Lin Si originally dug many traps in the mountains and made many arrangements in advance, intending to lure the enemy deep and lure the enemy troops out of the city to pursue and kill them.

After entering the mountain forest, his arrangement can play a great role.

When the time comes, with mental calculations or no intentions, Longyan's army will turn around and cover up and kill in all directions, and even wipe out a large number of the enemy's vanguard troops in the forest outside the city.

However, his plan ultimately fell through.

The defenders in the city didn't fall for the trap, and Shenyan's main general, Lou Hai, was very calm, and made a solid posture from the beginning.

It seems that he has no intention to wipe out the 30 Longyan army in front of him at all, but blocks them to the east of Mingning City and it's over.

For a moment, everyone became helpless.

There is not a small gap in the strength of the two sides, and they are not opponents at all in a head-on confrontation.And the other party didn't rush forward at all, which made them unthinkable for a while.

Five thousand miles away to the east, the more than [-] troops led by Jiang Rong and Mu Zheping also encountered the same situation.

In Baoxin City to the east, an army of 37 divine flames also gathered, blocking them like an iron gate.

Both Mingning City and Baoxin City are large cities comparable to Kuning City and Yiping City. If the other party refuses to defend the city, they will not be able to attack at all.

On the contrary, behind them were only mountains and forests and a few small cities that had been laid down earlier.

Once the opponent stabilizes the situation and counterattacks vigorously, they will be killed all the way back by the opponent instead.

For a while, the four armies on the east and west sides formed a confrontation.

If it is said that the army of Kuning City repulsed the army of Shenyan and took down Yiping City, it just stole a loophole and planted a nail in the rear.Now that they have broken through several cities and assembled two large armies, they can no longer be taken lightly.

These two Longyan armies have grown unknowingly, and the situation of the Shenyan Empire on the central front has also become unclear.

However, Shenyan didn't panic because of this.

All of this was within Kong Sheng's expectations. In the two battlefields now, Shenyan has a clear advantage.The two armies in Kuning City will be wiped out sooner or later, and they will not be able to change the overall situation after all.

But from Long Yan's point of view, this is not the case at all.

The news quickly spread back to the rear of Longyan, and the people were naturally jubilant. The defenders of Kuning City had gradually become a miraculous force in the hearts of many Longyan people.

Not only did they win a few battles at the beginning, but they also won successive battles afterwards, injecting great vitality into the sluggish situation.People all hope that they can create greater miracles again.

However, they didn't know that Lin Si and Mu Zheping were the actual commanders of the two Longyan armies, and they didn't even know that these two armies were actually fake military orders and made their own claims.

Yan Gaoyang couldn't laugh anymore.

Although due to the sudden emergence of the defenders of Kuning City, the originally unfavorable situation in the middle lane has been greatly improved.

And because of Lin Mu's activeness, in order to wipe out these two Longyan armies, Shenyan had to temporarily give up the attack on many surrounding cities.Invisibly, this also greatly relieved the pressure on him, the commander-in-chief of Longyan's central front.

Many middle- and lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers around him have recently become much more morale due to the good news from the front line.

But he couldn't be happy.

Because these victories were not achieved under his command.

When he learned for the first time that the army of Kuning City had recovered the cities, he did pass down an order for the cities to cooperate with Jiang Rong and others.

But don't forget, he asked Jiang Rong and others to recover the lost ground.

Under the leadership of Mu Zheping and Lin Si, Jiang Rong, Sha Chengyun and others did not continue to regain any lost ground, but instead attacked the front line, and even took away a large number of defenders from the front line cities.

All of this did not match his previous expectations.

Forget it, Jiang Rong, Sha Chengyun and others did not report these key military actions to him, the commander-in-chief, at all.

Jiang Rong didn't report in advance, and acted after getting his approval. The reason is very simple, the time waits for no one, and they can't afford to delay the time of asking for instructions.

But this is not what Yan Gaoyang needs to consider. If the generals leading the troops below are as 'determined' as Jiang Rong, then what is the meaning of his existence as the commander-in-chief?

Everyone is making their own decisions, isn't it going to be a mess below?

This is simply not taking him seriously.

In particular, the actual commanders of the two armies turned out to be two outsiders, Lin Si and Mu Zheping...

The people of Longyan and Shenyan didn't even know about this inside story. After all, no one went to publicize it, but it was impossible for him, the commander in chief of the middle lane of Longyan, to be kept in the dark.

After learning this, he was even more furious.

How could Long Yan's army be handed over to outsiders so easily?Don't you know that the army is the sharp weapon of the country?

However, he did not express any of these thoughts at the military meeting in front of him.

In any case, the current good situation was created by Lin Simu, Zheping, Jiang Rong and others.Now all the people in Longyan regard the people in Kuning City as heroes to save the country, and their limelight is unmatched for a while, if he jumps out and sings the opposite...

The generals and masters in front of him would not say anything, but once word spread, he, the Second Prince Longyan, would immediately become a narrow-minded, short-sighted, and disregarding the overall situation in the eyes of the people of the whole country.

This is extremely detrimental to his future.

On the other hand, the victory of Lin Si and the others is indeed what he urgently needs. He has long been overwhelmed by the Shenyan army.

Many people in the audience are discussing the two armies enthusiastically.

In addition to the continuous praise one after another, there is also a discussion about the next step.

"We should support them. The situation of the two armies is very unfavorable right now." The person who spoke was Qiu Yu, the northern general of Longyan Town. Qiu Wencheng.

Qiu Wencheng is not here right now, but Qiu Yu himself cannot be ignored.

Now 25 years old, he has been in the army for [-] years and has made many military exploits.Before that, he had been stationed in the north of Longyan, and he had personally experienced the whole process of the war that lasted more than half a year.

His prestige in the army was quite high, and as soon as he spoke, many people immediately responded.

"Yes! If there is no one to support them, the results of their previous battles may be wasted." Huya General He Yang also agreed.

He and Qiu Yu have been comrades for more than ten years, so naturally they are the first to support him.

"That's right, we have to send people to support them. They haven't encountered a large enemy force before, so they can go smoothly..."

All of a sudden, everyone asked for a fight.

Yan Gaoyang's face remained unchanged, but his heart was full of anger.

Although this is a national war, the gathering of these people can be regarded as a strong force.But before the war, Qiu Yu was not in his camp.

He and his father Qiu Wencheng were both from the camp of Yan Gaoyang's elder brother Yan Keli.

Yan Keli was good at political affairs, but not good at leading troops. In this battle, he was not sent to the front line, but stayed behind.As for Yan Gaoyang, he had served in the army for ten years before, so Qiu Yu and the others are now taking orders under his tent.

The current King Longyan is in the prime of life and has not established a prince. However, in the eyes of many ministers, it is a matter of course that the generous and loving eldest prince Yan Keli will succeed to the throne in the future.

However, it doesn't mean that Yan Gaoyang has no support. After all, he is the second prince. Before the next throne is taken, he always has a chance.

Of course, he also has supporters and confidantes, and now that he is the commander-in-chief of the central front, there are naturally many of these people in this meeting.

No need for him to wink to hint, someone jumped out to refute Qiu Yu immediately.

"It's easy for you to say, send reinforcements to support them, the question is where do we get the soldiers?" Light Chariot General Tao Ming snorted coldly.

General Anyuan Shang Yi said quietly: "Since the start of the war, why is the situation tense? Now there are no soldiers to send. Once the rest of the troops are dispatched, the Shenyan people will take advantage of them and cause a complete defeat. You can afford it." Is it a crime? Don’t forget, the capital is thousands of miles behind us!”

Their words immediately drew He Yang and others' glaring glances.

Before everyone could speak, Qiu Yu waved his hand to stop them.

He looked around the crowd, and then said in a deep voice, "We have soldiers!"

"Where do the soldiers come from?" General Pingnan Guan Rui glanced at him lightly.

"Where did the hundreds of thousands of divine flame troops in Mingning City and Baoxin City come from?" Qiu Yu asked back.
