Chapter 5: Entering Yique Pass

Frightened by artillery fire, the enemy soldiers who had not yet come to their senses, ran away without any resistance, threw away their armor and the team was scattered.

"What's going on?"

Qiu Shenji, who was walking in front, found the army in a mess. He roared angrily.

The commander came to report that the rebels came to kill, and the soldiers were killed and abandoned their armor!

Qiu Shenji was shocked. The 100,000 army was killed by thousands of rebels and fled in panic. What is this? However, when he encountered such a situation, he could not handle it.

"what to do?"

Qiu Shenji hurriedly asked the deputy generals beside him.

"Master General, let's run away quickly! The green mountains are there, and you won't be afraid of burning firewood!"

When encountering such a situation, the deputy generals did not recruit any of them. The soldiers from these prefectures and counties had just been mobilized, and there was no unified training and cooperation in combat, so it was difficult to convey military orders.

It’s okay to fight a good fight, but once you encounter adversity, you will run away in all directions.

In this case, I can only instigate Qiu Shenji to run away quickly.

Qiu Shenji immediately fled to the east capital with his personal soldiers.

When the soldiers and horses of various prefectures and counties saw Qiu Shenji escape, some of them followed him, and some surrendered directly. Anyway, they were not just those who were on duty.

In September of the fourth year of Chugong, Li Jing won a great victory in the Battle of the Yangtze River Basin, killing 30,000 enemies and capturing 50,000 troops.

This battle was won thoroughly!

The surrendered army was responsible for collecting the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle and dealing with them in a unified manner.

The victory of this battle was very easy because the local army recruited by the court was negligent in training.

Unlike the soldiers in the palace who are busy farming and training in their spare time, and maintain strong combat power, the prefecture and county army is mainly responsible for maintaining public order and acting as minions of prefecture and county, which is OK to bully the weak.

The most important point is that the main general Qiu Shenji is not good at it!

This was also a result that the court did not expect. It was thought that Qiu Shenji led a 100,000 army and had the advantage of numerically, and it would be easy to suppress Li Jing's rebellion!

How could I have thought that Li Jing would have cannons in his hand? The imperial army, who had never seen cannons, was killed or injured under a burst of cannon fire, all of which were missing arms and broken legs, or were blown into minced meat. This big impact The nerves of the imperial army were frightened by the artillery fire and lost their fighting spirit.

This allows Li Jing to win easily without any effort!

After learning that Li Jing had won the Jingxiang land, he achieved a huge victory and defeated the 100,000 troops of the court, this made the Li Tang royal family extremely excited, as if they were injected with chicken blood.

King Li Chong of Langya and King Li Zhen of Yue responded to the uprising. Li Chong led 5,000 soldiers to cross the river to attack Wushui County. The magistrate of Wushui County resisted desperately. Li Chong was defeated and killed. King Li Zhen of Yue sent troops to occupy Shangcai.

Other royal families also made corresponding progress, and the kings of the Li Tang Dynasty raised troops, causing shock to the government and the country.

...

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the first battle, and rewarding a big gift box."

Ding! Reward the military general, founding father of the Ming Dynasty, the leader of the six founding kings, and the king of Zhongshan Xu Da.

Ding! Rewards for 5,000 Shenji Battalions (including 400 artillery personnel, managing field heavy artillery and 100-sected bead artillery, 3,600 musketeers, and 1,000 cavalry)

Ding! Reward a number of ammunition, 400 hand-held mouth (hand guns for artillery self-defense), and 180 tanks.

Li Jing was overjoyed.

I didn't expect such a big surprise!

Xu Da was a famous general in the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He was cautious and good at governing the army. He had a lifetime of military service and made immortal contributions to the establishment and consolidation of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang relied on it as the "Great Wall" and later generations recognized him as the first founding of the Ming Dynasty. The hero is ranked first among the "Six Kings" of the founding country.

Shenji Camp was one of the three major battalions of the Beijing Army in the Ming Dynasty. It was equipped with muskets and artillery units.

Li Jing asked Xu Da to rectify 50,000 surrendered troops and named the 50,000 surrendered troops Jing'an Army. After a little rest, he ordered Xu Da to lead 50,000 Jing'an Army as the vanguard army, with Beiwei Army and Shenji Camp following closely.

Afterwards, he rushed straight to Yique Pass.

At the same time as marching, we will also temper these surrendered soldiers. We have not experienced the training of blood and fire. We are not a qualified army. Only by experiencing the training of blood and fire can we experience a elite soldier of hundreds of battles.

During the march, one person fled, ten people sat in a row, and all were executed.

If someone is ungrateful, cheating, or passive and slacking off, he will be whipped fifty whips at the least, or beheaded at the worst!

Under Li Jing's iron-blooded skills, no one dares to disobey orders, no one dares to disobey orders, and the whole army will obey orders, so that you will never dare to retreat if you charge.

In order to establish prestige, Li Jing also knew how to do both kindness and power, perform well in everything, improve food and add food to the surrendered soldiers, and even reward and grant official positions. If he fights bravely and unfortunately dies in battle, he can still get a generous pension to ensure that his family has no food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Only by worrying can everyone be motivated.

The army advanced all the way outside Yique Pass. Yique Pass is one of the eight passes of the Eastern Capital. It is an important pass to protect the security of the Eastern Capital and is also a necessary way for the Eastern Capital to move south.

The vanguard army led by Xu Da first arrived outside Li Xiaoyi Yique Pass. Seeing the majestic Yique Pass, Xu Da did not launch an attack rashly, but ordered camping on the spot.

Wait for Li Jing to arrive, lead the Beiwei Army and Shenji Camp, and then launch an attack on Yique Pass.

The guards of Yique Pass did not dare to neglect them, and immediately rushed to the 800-mile area, and reported the situation here back to the Dongdu, asking for reinforcements.

The messenger quickly rushed and soon introduced the emergency military information to the Dongdu.

After seeing this, Wu Zhao was furious and immediately summoned the generals to discuss the major rebellion.

Wu Zhao first seized the official position and title of Qiu Shenji who had defeated the battle, and was sent to the Heavenly Prison to be defeated.

Qu Chongyu, the general of the Left Wei Guard, was appointed as the chief general of the Central Army, Cen Changqian, the chief general of the Later Army, Zhang Guangfu, the deputy secretary, was appointed as the governor of the army, led 100,000 troops to attack Li Jing, and eliminated Li Jing, Li Chong, and Li

The names of Zhen and others in the royal family list changed their surnames to Yi.

But these have no effect on Li Jing and others, so they can satisfy Wu Zhao's evil taste of changing his surname.

I can't kill you in terms of strength, but I can change your surname to you. It's okay to disgust you, and it can make her more or less angry!

In order to prevent it, Wu Zhao also used the false accusation of rebellion and was detained in the prison. Cheng Wuting and Wang Fangyi, who had not yet been killed, were sent to Hei Chi Changzhi, the governor of Heyuan Army, to recruit him and return to Zuowu

·General Wei, also serves as the procurator of Zuo Yulin Army.

In addition to guarding against foreign barbarians and Tubo in the north and the troops of Liuzhao in the south were unable to move, soldiers from all over the country were summoned to quell the rebellion.

Because Li Jing was under the banner of the emperor and raised an army to clear the king, it was justified, and not many soldiers responded to Wu Zhao's call to go to Beijing to serve the king. Most of them were observing the changes in the situation and then deciding which side they should turn to.

If the imperial army defeated the rebellion, they would turn to Wu Zhao without hesitation and join the ranks of suppressing the rebellion. If Li Jing wins, they would immediately turn to Li Jing.
