Haotian and others in front of Juyong Pass have not yet received news of the drastic changes in the Hetao. Just the day after Guanying left, the Hetao army launched a fierce attack on Juyong Pass under the command of Dugu Yuming. At this time, Bai Jinghe
Mandan's 150,000 reinforcements are still on their way to Juyong Pass. However, they are unable to reach Juyong Pass for the time being. The Longxiang Legion in Miyun City has already received Luo Xiang's instructions and handed over the defense of Miyun City to Zhongdang.
Deep behind, 50,000 cavalry suddenly broke through Yelu Minghui's defense line and intercepted the reinforcements led by Skovich and Xiao Shicheng in the southern area of Baijing.
Three days, three full days of offensive and defensive battles, not only exhausted all the energy of Yao Jinxi on the tower, but even Dugu Yuming was a little unable to bear it. In three days, more than 30,000 soldiers died in the battle, although this
It is not that big compared to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Hetao, but it is also difficult for Dugu to accept. Now, Dugu only has about 100,000 infantry left in his hands, which is the number of infantry in all four legions.
Bai Jing's tenacity exceeded everyone's expectations, and Bai Jing's military strength also exceeded Hetao's estimate. There were only 120,000 Bai Jing in Juyong Pass, but with an order from Yao Jinxi, the troops near Juyong Pass were immediately
All the young people were recruited into the army, and together with the people from Beijing who fled from Beiyuan Road some time ago, he actually allowed him to organize nearly 100,000 people. At this time, Hetao finally got to see this only person from Beijing.
The powerful ability of the famous general second only to Cassimbas.
The people of Baijing were inherently tough, and Yao Jinxi used an iron hand to combine them. After several days of fighting, although they were still unable to compare with the elites of Baijing, they at least looked like soldiers.
Facing the overwhelming offensive of the Loop, Yao Jinxi did not hesitate to push his recruits who had not yet had time to grow to the forefront.
The best way for a recruit to grow into a qualified veteran as quickly as possible is to go through a life and death war. As long as he survives and doesn't go crazy, he will definitely become an elite. He will be an elite in the near future.
The purpose of pushing these people to the forefront is actually very simple. That is to consume the strength and spirit of the soldiers in the Hetao to the greatest extent. Of course, as long as they survive, they will be veterans.
However, in the past few days, Dugu did not let Yao Jinxi take it easy. There were originally about 120,000 soldiers in Juyong Pass, and with the addition of 100,000 strong men, the total force exceeded 200,000. Although more than 70,000 soldiers died in the Hetao area.
Thousands, and nearly 10,000 were seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield. However, only about 50,000 of the 120,000-strong regular army in Beijing were left, and less than half of the 100,000 strong troops were left. The casualties were so heavy that even today they were experienced veterans.
, equally distressed.
Just defending without attacking is not Yao Jinxi's style. After the Hetao infantry offensive ended, Yao Jinxi mobilized the only 20,000 cavalry in the pass several times to suddenly go out of the city to attack. However, Dugu, an old gangster, does have his own unique skills in using troops.
What was unique was that every time Yao Jinxi attacked, he failed to get any benefits. Once, he even fell into Dugu's trick and had to leave three thousand cavalry behind and then fled back.
"Persevere, you must persist. We will definitely be able to take Juyongguan in five days at most!" Under the setting sun, Dugu said to the retreating soldiers in front. Today's offensive has come to an end, and the soldiers who have been fighting for a day also need to rest. However,
Tomorrow, as long as the sun continues to rise in the east and set in the west, the offensive in the Hetao will never stop.
"The defenders in the city are already quite exhausted. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to stay on the wall for so long in our last charge. However, Yao Jinxi was able to force Yan Beige down, which means that the city is not completely without reserve forces." Luo Xiang stood in Dugu.
The side said slowly.
Dugu nodded slowly. Under the setting sun, the remains of the dead soldiers were scattered all over the land. There was bright red blood everywhere. On the city walls, many bloodstains had dried and turned black. Broken military flags lay scattered on the ground. Just this.
In one day, more than 8,000 soldiers died in the Hetao. Eight thousand, what is this concept? That is the backbone of many ordinary families.
As the last soldier retreated, the blood-killed and letter-carrying cavalry in the Hetao Army slowly drew their bows and moved forward. Behind them were countless medical soldiers and soldiers carrying stretchers. The temperature is still very high now, and the number of soldiers who died in the battle is still high.
If the remains were not cremated immediately, it might cause a plague. Moreover, the city would be attacked the next day, so these remains were scattered on the ground, making it inconvenient for the soldiers in Hetao to move.
According to China's practice, after the two warring parties pay gold, the medical soldiers of both sides can raise the white flag and gather the bodies of their killed and seriously injured soldiers on the battlefield. Both sides are not allowed to shoot cold arrows at this time. However, Hetao and Baijing are enemies of life and death.
If you want to cut the opponent into pieces, you will naturally not care about these rules. If there are no cavalry shooting arrows to cover them below, the medical soldiers will not even dare to approach the battlefield in front.
The duty of the medical soldiers is to diagnose whether there are any living people. The living ones are naturally carried back for rescue immediately. The dead ones are carried back to their own positions, or the military badges are removed and cremated, and the urns are escorted back to the Loop.
Either they are buried on the spot in the main camp of the side. Generally speaking, if there are few soldiers killed in battle, then cremation is naturally adopted. If there are too many soldiers killed in battle, they are buried on the spot. The troops are taken down first.
cards, and then each person has a tomb. In just over ten days, tens of thousands more tombs have appeared behind the main camp in the Hetao. Looking at the current trend, the scale of these tombs is showing signs of expansion.
Luo Xiang looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly sighed: "I finally understand how lucky we were to be able to conquer Yumen Pass and Jiayuguan in the first place. If it were a frontal attack, I'm afraid we would have to pay such a heavy price."
Dugu also gave a wry smile: "Actually, I don't want to do this either. However, if we don't exhaust all the energy in Beijing, we may have a hard time winning this level."
Luo Xiang has also been thinking hard about the war these days. Wu Xiaolangjun galloped thousands of miles from Miyun City and intercepted Skovich and Xiao Shicheng's 150,000 cavalry in the south of Beijing. Although Wu Xiaolangjun's task was only to contain
The other party did not allow the other party to have the opportunity to rush to Juyongguan to aid. However, with 50,000 to 150,000, and the other party occupied the right location and good people, both Skovich and Xiao Shicheng were fierce generals from the Three Northeastern Countries. You can imagine the pressure on Wu Xiaolangjun.
And know.
No one thought that such an arduous task would actually fall on a few children of seventeen or eighteen years old. These children are not old, but their military experience is not inferior to that of most of the soldiers in Hetao. Moreover, they
Their record is brilliant enough. If they can't hold back the 150,000 reinforcements from Mandan and Baijing, then it will probably be even more difficult at Juyongguan.
"Sir, what are you thinking about? Could it be that you are still thinking about this great pass in front of you? Haha, I am not boasting. I can win this pass in five days at most. Moreover, through these days of attack
, the defenders inside the pass are already quite exhausted, and the upcoming battle will mainly consume their energy." Dugu said with a smile.
Although Luo Xiang had something in mind, he didn't want to reveal it. He shook his head and said: "Dushuai, Yao Jinxi's counterattack in the past few days has been too fierce. We seem to have ignored many problems. Zhang Shoucheng, as the Soul Eater in the underworld,
In theory, the intelligence commander of Yunliuzhou should stay in the military camp these two days, but Guanying had just left that day. After he went out to collect intelligence, he disappeared. And Guanying, including Soul Eater, we have already had a whole
I haven’t received any news from the Loop for two days.”
"This is a problem. Without Soul Eater's intelligence support, we will suffer a lot in the war." Dugu agreed very much, but he smiled: "But this has nothing to do with me. I am just a martial artist. As long as I know how to do it,
Just fight."
Luo Xiang smiled, Dugu was like this, it was rare for him to be a bit serious. However, Dugu still somewhat respected the old and loved the young. At least in front of him, he rarely showed his gangster style.
"Hercynian troops in Shanhaiguan have increased to 100,000. This is the latest information sent by the intelligence system of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Soul-Eating Ghost Cloud yesterday. But there is also good news, that is, the barbarian peoples in Haixi have already
The Haixi royal family has turned its back and is actively fighting against the Jin dynasty."
Dugu chuckled: "Although these barbaric peoples are not good people, the fat man Jin Mei Cang has gone too far. He spends his days fighting and being extravagant and lustful, and doesn't care about the life and death of the people below. Haixi's national strength is originally among the three Northeastern countries.
The weakest one, the result is that the military strength is almost the same as that of Beijing. The domestic army is fat and fat, and people often starve to death. And if something goes wrong, they will take it out on the people below. You say this
Under such circumstances, can those barbaric peoples not resist?"
Luo Xiang also smiled: "What Du Shuai said is absolutely true. Fatty Jin's family are all typical heartless, cruel and murderous, but also arrogant. As soon as they saw the weakness of my country, they immediately came up to take a bite. Wait until we
When you become stronger, they will pretend to be grandsons and come to lick your toes. However, we cannot take it lightly as they increase the number of troops in Shanhaiguan. Otherwise, let the three cavalry armies of the Blood Commander and Blood Killing Legion go to Shanhaiguan.
Monitor the Hercynian army in the region to prevent the other party from causing trouble behind the scenes."
Dugu smiled and said: "Sir, this is a matter for you and the military advisor to consider. I am just a big-headed soldier with a knife. He only needs to charge into the battle. The rest is up to you."
Luo Xiang shook his head helplessly and turned back to the Chinese army's main account. Dugu was not only a hooligan, but also a hooligan who was extremely smart, cunning and cunning to the point of shamelessness. He would never interfere with military deployment matters if it was not necessary.
Because this is Luo Xianghe Xuanji's responsibility. As for government affairs, Dugu never touches them.
Xuanji has been in a daze these past few days. Although he has not received the news of the death of Master Guitian, he thinks that the old man will not be able to support him for much longer. Thinking that he cannot be with the old man before he passes away, Xuanji is naturally a little sad. Hao
Tian and Luo Xiang also understand Xuanji's feelings very well, so they don't bother him with too many things these days.
However, Xuanji did not forget his identity and responsibilities. When Luo Xiang stepped into the Chinese army camp, he saw Xuanji making gestures with the map on the table.
"Sir, Dongbo has sent troops!" Xuanji's expression was extremely solemn.
"Dongbo? Did they land on Donghai Road or somewhere?" Luo Xiang asked in surprise. In the past few days, due to Yao Jinxi's violent counterattack, the Hetao people's attention has been focused on Juyong Pass. How much is known about the surrounding situation?
Somewhat overlooked.
"Hukou! There are at least 50,000 Japanese soldiers here, and the Japanese navy has reached the Huangyangtan River section, but it was blocked by the navy led by He Bugui." Xuanji said in a deep voice: "We are in Jinzhou.
All the frontline intelligence personnel in Yaozhou who put it on the table were destroyed. Fortunately, Zhang Shoucheng was very careful. In addition to these people, he also laid out many hidden lines. It is because of this that we were able to get the news."
Luo Xiang screamed, if this is really the case, then the traitor must have started to act. At the moment, he did not care about his image, and said hurriedly: "Military advisor, when did this happen?"
"At least two days ago. On the road from Jinzhou to Yanzhou, there were Japanese ninjas scattered around. If this intelligence officer had not been clever enough, he would have died on the road. Someone has sent people to investigate. If
If the situation is true, then we will be in danger."
"I have ordered Henghui to lead the cavalry to go to Hukou to check the situation, and Lan Gaoping to go to the Jiming Post Road." Xuanji continued.
Luo Xiang's eyes narrowed and he asked, "Why did he forget this place? It seems that he was too complacent during this period."
In the southeastern part of Mandan, Yelu Minghui's 150,000-strong army was stationed. Their main task was to prevent Wuxiaolangjun's Longxiang Legion from taking the initiative to attack from Miyun City and causing panic in Mandan. However, Wuxiaolangjun suddenly
After passing through Yelu Minghui's defense line and intertwining with Xiao Shicheng and others in Baijing, Yelu Minghui's 150,000-strong army was naturally free.
Less than two hundred miles away from Yelu Minghui's station is the north entrance of Jiming Post Road. It was because the Hetao army blocked this place that day that it blocked Yelu Chixian's hundreds of thousands of troops. After Zhizhou's night battle, Hetao
The army did not retain any strength here at all. The main reason is that the Hetao army is too powerful, and all military supplies and supplies are plundered on the spot, without any need for logistical transportation. If Mandan dispatches troops from Jiming Post Road,
If it's too little, it will definitely be swallowed up by the Loop. If it's too much, it seems that the Mandan ones can't be taken out. The only way is to mobilize Yelu Minghui's army. In this way, Wu Xiaolangjun was released again. Because of this,
Only then did Haotian feel relieved and put aside the Jiming Post Road.
But now, since Dongbo has appeared in Hukou, and Yelu Minghui's 150,000 troops have been liberated. If they reoccupy the Wuzhou area of Jinzhou, which has no troops at all, then the retreat of Hetao will be cut off.
Under such circumstances, Haixi increased its troops to Shanhaiguan, and Baijing also performed well at Juyongguan. Luo Xiang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that the other party had really been prepared for a long time and deliberately attacked him like this?
Hundreds of thousands of troops dragging them here?
The appearance of Dong Japanese on the river means that the imperial court at least acquiesces to Dong Japanese's actions. The Holy Sect of Paradise and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty have always been on the same page, and they will definitely not fall behind. Thinking of the flames of war at Yumen Pass and Jiayu Pass, Luo
Xiang's face also completely turned serious.
"Soul Eater! Where did Guanying and Zhang Shoucheng go?" Luo Xiang said with a gloomy face.
Xuanji shook his head: "The Lord is ordering the soul-eating intelligence personnel to send the news about Zhang Shoucheng this evening at the latest. Sir, we have been so overwhelmed by victory these days that we have forgotten a very important thing. From then on.
Since the day Guanying left, we have not received any information from the Hetao Third Road at all. At that time, Yao Jinxi fought very tenaciously and attracted all our attention. We were too negligent."
Three days are enough for a lot of things to happen. From the cavalry in Hetao to the recovery of the three states of Yanzhou, it only took two days. The Battle of Hukou, which shocked the world, only took two days. The Hetao army forcibly crossed the river and brought the Holy Sect of Paradise from its peak.
It only took three or four days to hit the bottom. Talking about the collapse of hundreds of thousands of Northeastern Allied Forces in Zhizhou some time ago, it only took one night. If the other party was really serious, then the Hetao would probably be full of wars and flames by now.
.
"Sir, don't be too impatient. In two hours at most, Henghui and Lan Gaoping's cavalry will return. As for the Hetao, with Mr. Chu and Bian Shuai here, even if the situation is bad, we still have a chance to make a comeback.
." Xuanji said comfortingly, but he was also beating a drum in his heart. There are not many troops left in Hetao, but if all the surrounding forces attack together, the situation in Hetao will also be quite dangerous. I hope Bian Zhongxing can continue to carry forward his previous achievements.
