At the end of August, the military reorganization was completed. More than 900,000 troops, including the Dragon Cavalry Corps and more than 100,000 Scarlet Cavalry, were all integrated. The 50,000 soldiers of the Dragon Corps were officially formed at Hukou Ferry. Although the navy in Hetao also existed in the past
, but it has always been a secret training, and there is a serious shortage of warships. However, after Haotian had a detailed discussion with Zhang Cangxiong, Zhang Cangxiong generously donated fifty medium-sized warships and ten large warships to Hetao. However, it will take some time for all these warships to arrive.
Hetao. It’s just that the river surface of the Hetao River is relatively narrow, and there is not much room for large warships to use it. This is obviously for the need of conquering the East China Sea in the future.
More than a dozen legions finally determined their defense zones.
The 150,000 soldiers left behind on the Bloody Plateau are stationed in the central and southern areas of the Bloody Plateau. The 50,000 troops stationed in Hetao in the north are still there, but Yao Qiang has been transferred to Jiayuguan and Chunjian Shang to keep him company. The 50,000 soldiers stationed here are under the command of Bian Zhongxing's Panshi Corps.
, the president is led by Mu Shan, the chief of staff of the Rock Army.
Jiayuguan Pass, Yumen Pass and Yinfeng Mountain Range are classified as border troops. This also sends a signal to Qingfeng and the three major families. Jiayuguan Pass and Yumen Pass have always been important border defense areas, and Haotian also defines the Red Snake Corps garrisoned in Yinfeng Mountains as border defense troops.
Obviously, he wanted to tell everyone that this is the border of the Hetao, and also to show that the Hetao has no intention of going south.
The garrison at Jiayuguan is the 10th Army, the Golden Eagle Army. The total strength is 50,000, and the general commander is the Golden Eagle Army. In an emergency, the Spring Sword Army has the right to mobilize all the elites in Xizhou into the army. However, considering the Jiayuguan Pass,
Outside are the two great kingdoms of Sashan and Rouran, so Mushan, who is stationed in the northern part of the Bloody Plateau, also has the responsibility of coordinating the Jiayuguan Pass.
The troops stationed in the Yinfeng Mountains are Li Xiao's Twelve Legions. The total number of troops is 50,000. The defense area is mainly Huangzhou and southern Dingzhou. This is the main passage from Qinchuan and Yizhou Road areas to the north to Hetao and Northwest Second Road. Yinping Ancient Road, Jian
Menguan and Yinfeng Castle, these three places have always been important to military strategists. Considering that the Song family is a tiger and a wolf, and the Li family is not easy to deal with, the Qilin Legion led by Zhan Shutang is stationed in Dingzhou City. Dingzhou is the largest city in the Hetao River.
The hometown of most of the top military and political leaders is Haotian's lair, and no one dares to take it lightly.
The troops stationed at Yumen Pass are the 11th Army Corps of Situ Lie. Yumen Pass has always been an important military area in Hetao. It is adjacent to the Taihang North Company in the east. To the north is the Iron Eagle territory, to the northwest is the Uma Dynasty, and to the northeast is the Mandan. Mandan soldiers have always
Tough, and the three Northeastern countries are closely related, who knows if the other party will suddenly send troops to attack. Considering that the strength of the Blue Wolf Legion is a bit weak, Bian Zhongxing's Panshi Legion, with 30,000 infantrymen under the leadership of commander Zhu Xigao, garrisoned Hebao east of Shazhou.
Pass, assist Situ Lie in defending the Shazhou area, and accept Situ Lie's command.
Bian Chongxing personally led the remaining 70,000 soldiers of the Panshi Army to sit in Yanzhou. This was the total reserve force left behind in the Hetao, taking into account the vast area including the Bloody Plateau on the three roads of the Hetao. For this reason, the 20,000 cavalry under Bian Chongxing were
The most elite part of the entire Hetao military is composed entirely of veterans who went south from Hetao. The two cavalry commanders, Yinzhongzhi and Weihuangchao, are old subordinates Fengjing and Xinke respectively. They are both the foundation of the Qingyun garrison in Dingzhou, and they are under their jurisdiction.
There is no doubt about the cavalry's combat effectiveness, and their loyalty to Haotian is also evident.
After clarifying the defense zones of several border defense legions, Haotian selected five main legions, including the Tiger Legion, the Blood Killing Legion, the White Tiger Legion, the Falcon Legion, and the Qinglong Legion, and classified them as field legions. Needless to say, these five
The legion is the main force in the conquests in the north and south of the Hetao. The Snow Lion Legion, the Legion of Honor, the Kirin Legion and the Longxiang Legion are classified as mobile legions, and they are the kind that will kill wherever there is trouble. If nothing happens.
, when we set out to conquer Youyun Sixteen Prefectures next year, several mobile legions must follow. After all, the three northeastern countries still have as many as 500,000 troops stationed in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and their combat effectiveness is not weak. Although Hetao has strong morale, if the troops
Even with the command of famous generals such as Xuesha Fengjing, Haotian still has no confidence in taking over the Sixteenth Province of Youyun.
The biggest headache for Haotian now is the navy. The planned maximum strength of the Jiaolong Legion is 100,000. But if Hetao really wants to destroy the Eastern Japanese in the future, it will need at least 200,000 navy, otherwise it will be impossible to defeat the Eastern Japanese navy.
She also covered the army's landing in Dongbo. Goryeo was a good helper, and Fu Ruoshui also gave herself some insight. She could preside over the treaty between Hetao and Goryeo. In this way, Goryeo's nearly 200,000 navy troops could fully join the battle. However,
Haotian always feels that his own safety is not as secure as his own subordinates if it is in the hands of others. Therefore, having it himself is the most important part.
He Bugui was also a restless man. The navy had just formed an army, and before all the warships from Huai River had been delivered, he had already led the navy out in full force, and more than 150 warships went down the river.
Directly into the East China Sea. Near the mouth of the river, He Bugui met the 50,000 Japanese navy led by Kato Takashi. However, He Bugui did not fight Kato Takashi, but raised his sails and escaped without hesitation.
, heading south at full speed along the Yangzhou Road. The tonnage of the Hetao Navy was not as good as that of Dongwa, but its flexibility was even better, and it easily got rid of Kato Taka's pursuit.
After the navy, He Bugui led the dragon army to sweep away the Ryukyu, Zhoushan, Qiongya and other islands where the Eastern Japanese were entrenched, and even went south to the southern coastal areas of Jinhua Sannan, sweeping the rivers and mountains with blood. Later, according to legend, He Bugui
During the months when the dragon army was wreaking havoc in the East and South China Seas, even the blue water was a little red.
In the next month, the military in Hetao worked hard to train its soldiers. More than ten legions were fully recruited, and most of the recruits who enlisted this time were young people aged 16 or 17. After four years of recuperation, Hetao
A new generation of local soldiers has grown up. In particular, students from Xuanyuan Military Academy have joined the army in large numbers this time, becoming the backbone of the army from captain to brigade commander.
As a veteran soldier, Haotian deeply understands the importance of mid- and low-level officers to the army's combat effectiveness. The joining of these aspiring young people has greatly improved the army's combat effectiveness. Moreover, students with relatively rich military literacy have experienced
After a period of running-in at the grassroots level, more strategic talents can be reserved for the Loop.
Li Xiaomo was silent for a long time after randomly checking a student named Zheng Xiang who graduated from Xuanyuan School. The main person in charge of Xuanyuan Military Academy is Bian Zhongxing, but other generals from the military also come to the military academy to teach from time to time.
His own battlefield experience and understanding of war. In addition, military school students did not relax their education in cultural classes, but the content they studied was not limited to poetry and songs. Although the student named Zheng Xiang’s answer was only unsatisfactory,
But Li Xiaomo was still frightened that a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old recruit who had just joined the army could reach such an extent. Especially after watching the actual combat exercises and military training in Hetao, Li Xiaomo deeply felt that Hetao
The military is indeed unparalleled in strength. Not only are they ahead of Qinchuan in terms of generals, but the quality of ordinary soldiers is also far higher than that of Qinchuan soldiers. In depression, Li Xiaomo became even more worried about Qinchuan
The future is coming.
As a soldier, no one understands the horror of the Hetao better than Li Xiaomo. After four years of drought, the reserve force of the Hetao has become fully mature. Now they have been able to recruit more than 700,000 local elites. If it were
With general mobilization, the army can even be expanded to about 1.2 million in just one month. Li Xiaomo really can't imagine how many troops there will be in Hetao next year or the year after.
In late October, after taking Tang Jian and others to worship their ancestors, Haotian personally led more than 500,000 Hetao troops who had been working together for more than a month to launch an attack on the three northwest tribes and the
Attacks from the Western Regions countries and the Sashan Dynasty.
Near Yumen Pass, Haotian gathered nearly 400,000 troops, including the Tiger Legion, the Blood Killing Legion, the Falcon Legion, the Green Dragon Legion, the Longxiang Legion and the Snow Lion Legion, plus the Situ Lie Canglang Legion stationed at Yumen Pass.
Entering outside the fortress. In the Jiayuguan area, there are the White Tiger Legion, the Legion of Honor and the Jiayuguan Garrisoned Golden Eagle Legion led by Dugu Yuming. They also control the 50,000-strong army of the Mushan Division of the Rock Legion, with a total strength of 250,000. Their attacks
The direction is not clear, everything is decided by Dugu himself.
After a month of rest and nearly two months of military reorganization, the Hetao army once again showed its sharp claws. Following Haotian's order, hundreds of thousands of troops slowly stepped out of the gate of Yumen Pass, and a storm surged outside the Great Wall.
At the end of October, Feng Jing and Xin Ke personally led their own legion, with 140,000 cavalry bypassing Uma's Fuyuan City in a pincer-like manner, and quickly traveled hundreds of miles to the Huchan tribe under the Iron Eagle tribe. The total population of the Huchan tribe was no more than
Thirty thousand, the largest number of combatants was only over 10,000. Under the joint efforts of Feng Jing and Xin Ke, they were wiped out without any resistance at all.
After the bloodbath of the Huchan tribe, the two continued to go north and defeated the 80,000 cavalry of Iron Eagle General Bodu Erhu at Qingchuantai, beheading more than 30,000 people, and directed their troops towards the Iron Eagle capital, Haiziyuan.
Iron Eagle's army numbered 400,000, and even in late autumn, the standing army was as many as 200,000. However, the 200,000 troops were stationed in various places. Although they shrank inward when they knew that the Hetao army was leaving the fortress, they were suddenly defeated in Bodu'er.
After that, only the 100,000 guards of Tie Ying Great Khan Badasi were left in Haiziyuan. Under such circumstances, Tie Ying had to use Tie Ying, who they called the Tie Ying who suffered repeated defeats in the Southern Campaign.
The famous general Hengshi Hassan gave him full power to make decisions.
After several years of silence, Hengshi Hassan finally took charge of the military again. While he ordered all the Iron Eagle tribes around Haiziyuan to mobilize, he also ordered the tribes above the Hetao cavalry attack line to move immediately to avoid being massacred in vain by the Hetao.
On November 5, the two armies of Feng Jingxin met in Heliang, 80 miles south of Haiziyuan, and the 230,000 troops temporarily gathered by Hengshi Hassan. In terms of the kung fu on horseback, the Hetao cavalry was even better.
The Tyumen cavalry, who grew up on horseback, were slightly inferior, and they were fighting on the opponent's territory. The Hetao cavalry, which had just been reorganized, was naturally a little uncomfortable. However, due to Feng Jingxin's outstanding military talent, the Hetao cavalry fought tenaciously.
Will and serious military discipline played a huge role at this time. The two sides fought for a long time. Although Hengshi Hasan paid the price of more than 30,000 people, he finally blocked the front of the Hetao cavalry. Facing the tribal mobilization of Iron Eagle
The tribe and the well-deserved famous generals Hengshi Hassan and Fengjing did not fight head-on. Instead, they slowly retreated south after collecting the remains of more than 8,000 cavalrymen who died in the battle.
When General Iron Eagle saw the Hetao cavalry retreating, he thought he had an opportunity. Regardless of Hengshi Hasan's obstruction, he led 50,000 cavalry in pursuit. As a result, the Hetao cavalry killed one of them with a carbine. Fortunately, Hengshi Hasan rescued him in time, but only five seconds later.
There were only less than 20,000 cavalry left. After learning about this, the angry Badasi Khan almost cut Baker into five pieces. Fortunately, Hasan Hengshi ignored the past and interceded for Baker in person, and Baker escaped death. Hengshi
After all, Shi Hasan is a famous general of Tie Ying. He is deeply aware of the dangerous situation Tie Ying is about to face. Therefore, he also tries his best to preserve Tie Ying's strength. Whether it is an ordinary herdsman or a senior general, he believes that the Hetao Cavalry
The retreat was definitely not the end, but the beginning of a disaster. But he never imagined that this disaster would come at the cost of the annihilation of Tie Ying's clan.
When Feng Jing and Xin were engraving Ziyuan in the north of Shanghai, Haotian's army did not rest either. The Longxiang Legion was left to monitor Fuyuan, an important town in the east of Uma. Haotian himself led the Tiger Ben to kill in blood, the Snow Lion and Canglang Legion.
Kill Miyun City, the most important pass in the west of Mandan. After Fengjing captured Miyun City last time, the city defenses had been completely destroyed. However, after more than a year of repairs by Mandan, Miyun City defenses have been somewhat repaired.
Some, but the defensive strength is simply not comparable to what it was at the beginning.
Because Haotian was personally in charge, the soldiers under his command burst out with great enthusiasm. On the first day of the siege, Zhu Qianping of the Huben Corps led 10,000 soldiers to attack the city wall. Fortunately, Miyun City's
The guard general Xiao Shicheng was also a battle-hardened man, with 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands. Under his full counterattack, Zhu Qianping was finally driven off. However, facing the Loop's attack like a violent storm, Xiao Shicheng only felt that the entire
Miyun City is like a small boat on the wind and waves, swaying unsteadily.
"Miyun must be captured!" This was what Luo Xianghe Xuanji emphasized to Haotian when formulating the strategy for the sixteen states of Youyun.
Due to the blocking of Duanhun Ridge, the Northeastern Three Kingdoms and the Northwest Prairie were divided into two. In the entire Duanhun Ridge area, there are only two places suitable for large armies and merchants to pass through. One is located in the territory of the Abat people in the far north.
Within, the other place is the gap where Miyun City is located.
Taking Miyun City is equivalent to cutting off the link between the three Northeastern Kingdoms and the three Iron Eagle tribes. As long as a heavy army is stationed here, it can form a solid defense formation together with Yumen Pass and Hebaoguan. And from then on
Miyun City's troops can directly threaten the interior of Mandan, forcing Mandan to retain a large number of troops in the country.
Hetao's expedition to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun in the coming year is already a certainty. Luo Xiang's alienation plan has begun to bear fruit. Cassimbas, the first general outside the Great Wall, has lost all military power. General Hekimul has taken over the military power in Beijing. Throughout the
Among the three Northeastern countries, no one can compare with Hetao in terms of military prowess. And Hetao has been coveting the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures for a long time. No force south of the river dares to take the initiative to challenge the authority of Hetao. The coming year will be the time to regain the Youyun Ten Prefectures.
Great time for Six States.
But to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, the key point is to prevent the Three Northeastern Kingdoms from sending reinforcements to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. Although the Hetao is powerful, it is not as good as the Three Northeastern Kingdoms. If the armies of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms continue to arrive in Youyun
In the Sixteenth Prefecture, there is no doubt that the decisive battle between Hetao and the other party will take place here. This situation is something that Haotian and others try their best to avoid.
If Miyun City can be captured, then only an elite cavalry needs to be deployed here, and then Mandan must station heavy troops in its southwest. If the cavalry generals are good enough, they can turn the southern part of Mandan into a pot of porridge, and even be able to
Threaten the distant Baijing dynasty. Of course, the main purpose
We are still trying to prevent the Northeastern Three Kingdoms and Tieying Qiu Ming from joining in the fun together. From a strategic perspective, both the military and political parties in Hetao agree on the idea of annihilating the Northeastern Three Kingdoms. Taking Miyun City in advance can cut off the Northeastern Three Kingdoms and the Northwest Three Nationalities.
Divided into two sections, the two biggest enemies of the Loop cannot respond to each other.
