Dugu naturally understood what was going on. After returning to Juyong Pass far away, although the King of Beijing, Pulski II, was furious after knowing that hundreds of thousands of allied troops were wiped out, and wanted to kill him directly, Huan Fuchuan and others
Already killed in battle, Cassimbas was seriously ill. Although Hekimul was born into a royal family, his defeat was even worse than that of Yao Jinxi. Yao Jinxi managed to return to Juyong Pass with more than 20,000 defeated soldiers, at least his own troops.
They were basically brought out. However, Hekimur basically became the bare commander. In desperation, Pulski II had no choice but to order Yao Jinxi to serve as the garrison envoy of Juyong Pass, while Prince Trikebus returned.
to the royal capital.
After all, Yao Jinxi was the most famous general in the Baijing Dynasty second only to Cassimbas. With Xiongguan in hand and 120,000 soldiers under his command, he was naturally not an easy man to chew. Therefore, with the toughness of Dugu and the elite soldiers of Hetao,
He still suffered a bloody head injury at the Juyong Pass.
Dugu asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any other feelings, like, are they out of desperation?"
Yan Lege frowned, and after a long time he suddenly said: "Listening to what you said, Dushuai, my subordinates really feel this way. When I led the army to attack just now, the opponent's counterattack was extremely wild. However, their
The expression is too ferocious, it’s a little abnormal.”
Dugu smiled with satisfaction and signaled Yan Lege to go down first, while he went straight to find Haotian and Luo Xiang Xuanji from the Chinese army.
If what is expected is true, the defenders in the city are probably quite exhausted now. Although the defenders in the city occupy a favorable location, Hetao has a strength advantage after all. Under the personal leadership of Xuesha Fengjing and Xingke, nearly 200,000 cavalrymen
Continuously riding and shooting under the city wall can not only achieve the purpose of training the cavalry's combat effectiveness and riding shooting skills, but also deter the defenders on the city wall. In addition, Dugu's infantry attacks day and night, and the soldiers of Beijing have no choice but to fight.
Defend the city seriously. After all, even Yao Jinxi himself doesn't know whether Dugu's attack is false or real.
The most important thing is that the defenders in the city are not elite soldiers from Beijing. They are mostly second-line troops left behind in the country, and their combat effectiveness is naturally not comparable to that of the soldiers in Hetao.
Dugu had just walked outside Haotian's main camp when he happened to see Luo Xiang opening the door curtain and walking out. As soon as he saw Dugu, Luo Xiang said immediately: "Dushuai, you came just in time. We were preparing to come to find you."
Dugu was startled and asked quickly: "I wonder what Mr. Sir wants to see me for?"
Luo Xiang and Dugu walked into the main camp side by side and said as they walked: "Commander Du, the military situation has changed again. According to the soul-eating secrets, Baijing and Mandan have gathered a total of 150,000 cavalry to prepare to rush to Juyong Pass."
Dugu said in surprise: "Mandan and Baijing? 150,000? Or cavalry?"
Luo Xiang nodded. Dugu's brows suddenly furrowed. Looking sideways, Haotian and Xuanji also had solemn expressions on their faces. Xue Qingcheng was helping them refer to the map, but Guanying was a little absent-minded.
When Haotian saw Dugu coming in, he didn't smile without saying anything like before. He just pointed to a stool on one side and motioned for Dugu to sit down, but he opened his mouth and said: "The actions of Mandan and Bai Jing this time are very unusual. Juyongguan is under siege.
For nearly ten days, they have not sent any reinforcements. If it is said that this is because they are short of domestic troops, it is reasonable. But now they have a total of 150,000 cavalry, and they are a coalition of the two countries. It is obviously premeditated.
.Fortunately, they are preparing now, and it will take at least three days to reach the battlefield."
"Cavalry is rarely used to defend the city. A total of 150,000 cavalry can only mean that the other party is using it to attack. However, the three northeastern countries have successively killed 500,000 elites in Youyun Sixteen States. Even if they have this force now,
They shouldn't have such sufficient confidence. Besides, our military strength is several times theirs, so why should they take the initiative to attack us?" Dugu said in a deep voice.
Luo Xiang said in a deep voice: "Of these 150,000 cavalry, one hundred thousand from Mandan and 50,000 from Beijing. The commander-in-chief of Mandan is Xiao Shicheng, and the deputy general is Yelu Minghuang. Half of them are from the most elite Guards Corps of Mandan. The generals of Beijing are
Skovich, this old man is very lucky. He just returned from the North Sea and caught up with this battle."
Seeing that Dugu was a little confused, Xuanji explained: "Skovic is a general of the same era as Cassimbas. This man is simple and unpretentious in his military use, and he is more cautious and steady. This is also the case for Cassin except Huan Fuzhuan.
He is the only one of the famous generals in Beijing from the Bath era. As for Mandan, there is nothing that can be done about it. The Long Xiang Legion is particularly active near Miyun City, and Yelu Minghui is completely unable to escape. Yelu Chengfeng and Leng
Fang Bu had just suffered a major defeat, and Yelv Chixian died in battle, so Xiao Shicheng became their only choice. As for Yelu Minghuang, he is nothing but a loser, so there is nothing to worry about."
Dugu suddenly laughed: "So, as long as we get rid of Skovich, there will be only one Kasimbas left in Baijing?"
Haotian smiled bitterly: "Having said that, 150,000 cavalry have come for reinforcements, and now we have reached a deadlock again. The situation is not good!"
Dugu rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "My lord, if we launch a full-scale attack now, I am not sure."
Haotian looked at Dugu's face, which still looked a bit informal, and asked seriously: "Then how long do you think it will take for us?"
"Ten days!" Dugu also made a serious face: "My lord, Juyong Pass is different from ordinary state capitals. It is impossible to conquer this pass without paying a heavy price. In terms of military merit, worshiping the capital is the most important among the three Northeastern countries.
This is the hardest bone to crack. Even with the help of Master Lin, it is impossible to exhaust the energy of the defenders in the city, and I am not sure. My lord, please don’t forget that there are at least 100,000 people visiting the capital in Juyong Pass. It’s urgent.
Under the circumstances, they can be used as at least 300,000 to 50,000 soldiers. Of course, there is really no way out. If my lord, you are willing to let about 200,000 cavalry dismount and obey the commander's command, then the combined strength of 350,000 infantry
, in three days at most, I will definitely be able to capture Juyongguan. But."
Dugu didn't speak, but Haotian understood what he meant. I'm afraid it was a fluke that only half of the 350,000 troops were left in the end.
Haotian stared at Dugu intently. Dugu didn't avoid him at all, his face was full of determination. Haotian's tent suddenly became quiet.
Haotian suddenly shouted loudly: "Guanying, please pass on this king's order to immediately notify the five princes in Miyun City and ask them to do their best to intercept the Mandan's reinforcements. Even if the entire army is annihilated, there will be no one left within ten days."
The soldiers stepped into the gate of Juyongguan!"
Guan Ying always felt that something was wrong recently. Although he didn't know what was wrong specifically, but out of an intuition that he had been engaged in intelligence for a long time, he always felt an inexplicable danger.
After carefully sorting out the situation around the Hetao, Guanying didn't find anything wrong. The 300,000 Iron Eagle Qiu Ming cavalry were blocked outside Yumen Pass. Here were 30,000 soldiers of Situ Lie's Canglang Army and the Rock Army.
Zhu Xi's troops are guarded by 30,000 infantrymen, and there is also a Longxiang Legion and 20,000 Canglang Legion soldiers in Miyun City nearby, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.
At Yumen Pass, there are nearly 300,000 coalition troops from the Sashan Western Region. However, the Spring Sword Reward fought all the way from outside the wall to Hukou and was finally appointed by Haotian as the commander-in-chief of Jiayuguan Pass. There are not only 50,000 soldiers of the Golden Eagle Legion here, but
And there is also the Mushan Division of the Rock Legion following behind, so there should be no problem.
As for the south of the river, the Song and Li families are trying their best to deal with Pu Zhicheng's offensive. Although the Luoche Dynasty is ready to move, it cannot threaten the security of the Bloody Plateau with its own power. The imperial court and the Paradise Holy Sect are in a stalemate again, and the Zhang family is on their own
Allies. The Eastern Japanese Dynasty was restrained by He Bugui on the East China Sea. After all, there is really nothing to worry about?
But why do I always feel a bad premonition?
"Sir, my subordinates are ready to return to Hetao immediately. Only Juyong Pass and Shanhai Pass are left in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun and are still in the hands of the Three Northeastern Countries. Now our troops are pressing down on the border and we will be able to conquer Juyong Pass in the near future. Having Zhang Shoucheng here is enough."
After much deliberation, Guanying still felt that it was necessary to go back to Hetao. After all, this was his base camp.
Luo Xiang pondered for a moment: "Guanying, do you think something is wrong?"
Guanying nodded.
In fact, Luo Xiang also feels this way. Since the hundreds of thousands of troops in Hetao marched into the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, the three Northeastern countries have basically not done anything outstanding except for the good move of Cassimbas.
Half a million coalition troops were wiped out in the attack on Hetao.
Others may have underestimated the Three Northeastern Kingdoms before such a victory, but Luo Xiang knew how terrifying Yelu Canghai was. He and Cassimbas had one thing in common, that is, if they don't take action, it will be unstoppable if they do.
Reversal. Moreover, this person is more scheming than Cassimbas. Moreover, Haixi Prime Minister Jin Meiliu is also famous for being vicious and treacherous, but in the past six months, their performance has been too mediocre.
Moreover, as Guan Ying said, God has really taken good care of the Loop during this period of time. Not only was the attack overwhelming, but there were no worries at all. Luo Xiang believed that God's will existed, but he never
He believed that God would always protect a person. Therefore, he also felt that there must be something wrong here. When he and Chu Xiangcheng wrote a letter a few days ago, he specifically asked Chu Xiangcheng to keep an eye on it.
"Chu San and Chu Wu are also going back to the Hetao. Let's go together. The three of you are veterans of the intelligence field in the Hetao. I think you also have some experience to exchange." Luo Xiang said in a deep voice: "Your soul-eating must be
We need to keep an eye on it, we will definitely see the outcome by the end of the year at the latest. Now is the most critical time."
Chu San and Chu Wu can also be regarded as half of Guanying's subordinates. Soul Eater has five intelligence systems and one direct subordinate system, and Chu San and others are directly subordinate to Guanying. It's just Luo Xiang and Chu Xiangcheng who have to mobilize their time.
There are relatively many, so Guanying's time to obey orders is limited.
Guan Ying also understands the importance of the matter. He always feels that there is definitely a problem within the territory. There is a traitor in the Loop. This is something that the highest level of the Loop knows. But the traitor is hidden very deep, so it has never been discovered. But now, it should be
It was the other party who was secretly taking action.
After Guanying left, Luo Xiang pondered for a long time. Now, there are some uncontrollable factors in the war situation in China mainland. If Hetao does not capture Juyong Pass in the shortest time, there may be other problems. However, manpower is sometimes exhausted.
Even if one is as smart as a demon, in such a situation, the outcome will ultimately depend on strength. The key to the matter lies in when the Loop can capture Juyong Pass.
Guanying has always liked to be alone, even when performing tasks, but after Luo Xiang said this, he couldn't say anything else. Therefore, after meeting Chu San and Chu Wu, he added his own numbers
Ten personal guards went directly from Yanzhou to Hukou Ferry in Jinzhou on fast horses.
Today is October 6, 624 in the Chinese Calendar, and August 24, 3190 in the Yellow Emperor Calendar.
"You two, this is the Hukou Ferry. Back then, my lord led an army of more than 300,000 people to cross the river here and march 20 miles eastward to Jinzhou, covering the departure of millions of fellow villagers. That day, there were sounds of killing on the battlefield.
Blood flowed from the sky, and half of our army in Hetao died in the battle. More than 600,000 fellow villagers died for their country. Even the friends who came to rescue suffered heavy casualties. However, it was precisely because of this battle that established the foundation of our army in Hetao.
The foundation also supports the backbone of our Chinese empire." Near the ferry, while waiting for the boat, Guan Ying said happily.
Hetao has just entered Youyun Sixteen Prefectures. It has been occupied by the Three Northeastern Kingdoms for several years, and there are basically no Chinese people there. Therefore, although Hukou Ferry is the main passage from Hetao to Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, the people near the ferry still
Not many. Except for a few teahouses on the side, the rest are basically business travelers on their way. Needless to say, their destination is the army camp in Yanzhou in Hetao. There is a garrison near the ferry, which is Hetao.
Someone was specially sent here to manage ferry affairs.
He also participated in the Battle of Hukou back then. Although it was only at the last minute, he still couldn't help but get excited when he thought of the magnificent, generous and tragic scene.
Chu San and Chu Wu were equally excited when they heard it. Although they had not experienced this battle personally, they were familiar with it.
"Masters, could you please excuse me?" The three of them were getting excited when a slightly humble voice sounded from behind them.
Looking back, I saw a young man wearing a mourning cloth on his head, who was actually attending a funeral.
People near the ferry didn't say anything at first. When they saw this situation, they immediately stepped aside. Some of the strong men who were drinking tea in the teahouse even said angrily: "It's really unlucky. I finally looked forward to a good day to go out. How can I go out?"
Just when I crossed the river, I encountered a funeral!"
Guan Ying said with a smile: "What this eldest brother said is wrong. Coffins and coffins are both officials and wealth, so why are they not unlucky?"
When the young man wearing a filial piety cloth heard this, he immediately shouted angrily at the strong man: "You are so rude. Birth, aging, illness and death are human nature. What bad luck can you say?"
The strong man was furious, as if he didn't expect that this man dared to confront him head-on. He slapped the table hard, stood up, put one foot on the stool and shouted: "Sir, what if I say it's bad luck for you? Be careful when you are in mourning.
I will mourn you today."
The young man was also young and energetic. When he heard this, he immediately waved his hand. Seeing this, the coffin bearer behind him quickly put the coffin down. As luck would have it, the coffin happened to be placed next to Guanying and Chu San.
beside.
Guanying still had a smile on her face, and Chu San and Chu Wu also looked at the quarrel between them with smiles, but the hands of the three of them were quietly attached to their bodies.
