The Yulin Army and the Lizhou Battalion gathered in Liangzhou, and the third battalion was stationed here.
Fang Jue did not give the order to send troops immediately, but waited.
"What are you waiting for, young master?" Sun Yi, the commander of the Lizhou camp, was a little anxious.
Wei Ran was not panicked at all, he believed that the young master could handle it properly.
Not to mention Lin Bei.
"We are going to Beiliang, not just for three to five days, but if we are not careful, it will take several months or even half a year. Aren't we fully prepared to let our brothers die?" Lin Beidao said.
"Don't we have cotton-padded clothes?" Sun Yida said.
Wei Ran chuckled: "Brother Sun, it's very cold in Lizhou, so you are equipped with a lot of cotton-padded clothes, but our brothers in Liangzhou Camp and Yulin Army only have ordinary equipment, and the cotton-padded clothes are not thick, and some even don't have any cotton-padded clothes."
shoe."
"What the Young Master means is that we should wait until this batch of materials to keep out the cold is equipped before setting off."
"Then how long will it take to delay the fighter plane? Otherwise, our Lizhou camp will be the vanguard?" Sun Yi said with a smile.
Wei Ran and Lin Bei both rolled their eyes.
This comparison, this is your original intention, right?
Sun Yi is a veteran general, how can he not know what he wants from Beiliang?
He was very shrewd and had already made full preparations in Lizhou. He just thought of being a starter after Liangzhou. His contribution to conquering the city first was huge.
"Young Master?" Sun Yi chuckled and rubbed his hands, "Our brothers in Lizhou Camp are all excited!"
Fang Jue sighed and asked, "If General Sun leaves Liangzhou, how will he prepare to meet the enemy?"
"Of course we marched straight in. The Northern Liang border troops were taken away by Luo Yang, and everything left behind was crooked melons and cracked dates. Our army can take Shuangzhou with a single attack!" Sun Yi was very confident. He had been guarding the border for many years and had a good idea.
of.
If Luo Yang were here, Sun Yi would never be so confident, but Luo Yang left with a large army, and the North Liangshuang Prefecture outside Liang Prefecture was like a treasure in his pocket!
It takes absolutely no effort to get it.
"Even if Shuangzhou doesn't have any spare troops and can only hold on to the main city, how much will it cost your Lizhou camp to seize the city?" Fang Jue asked rhetorically.
Sun Yi made some calculations in his mind and said confidently: "I will not lose at most two thousand people. I am confident that I can win Shuangzhou!"
"Two thousand?" Lin Bei didn't say anything, but Wei Ran couldn't help but smile, "Brother Sun, your Lizhou soldiers are used to the cold, and they are even better at conquering in the ice and snow... But, this is winter."
"If the defenders of Shuangzhou pour cold water on the city wall, it will become indestructible overnight, and they can even freeze the city gates shut... How long will it take for your people to break it down before they can enter the city?"
"Yes, the ladder is useless." A general agreed.
Conquering cities and territories in the winter in Beiliang is completely different from that in Daxia.
In the ice and snow, the ladder is slippery and difficult to fix, and the city wall is so slippery that the ladder cannot stand.
If you want to attack the city, you can only surround the opponent until you are hungry or attack the city gate directly.
"Beiliang's terrain is open and flat. You can see everything outside the city, and the army can't hide."
"If you are not fully prepared, just stray arrows and falling rocks will be enough for you to drink a pot."
"When the Emperor took over Beiliang, it was only in midsummer. We never conquered it in winter."
Wei Ran's remarks made Sun Yi's self-confidence gradually disappear.
"Actually, I don't agree with attacking Beiliang in winter, but the young division is confident that we can easily break the city, so we will naturally obey." Wei Ran said with a hand.
In winter, Daxia never won.
Even if we win inside the country, we don't dare to chase him out. This is the first time.
If Luo Yang hadn't taken his men away, this fighter plane would be too good, and I'm afraid the DPRK would not support an active attack.
And if Luo Yang dared to go back, he probably knew that Daxia's troops and horses were severely restricted in winter.
Fang Jue smiled. He knew that these veteran generals had quite a few complaints about his position as a general.
He said: "I am preparing some things. When the cold-proof materials are complete, those things will be fully prepared."
"Then how long do we have to wait?" Sun Yi asked.
"Don't worry, the Young Master has already ordered that the cotton cloth from Ganzhou has been delivered. The soldiers and civilians of Liangzhou have been working overtime to sort it out in the past two days," Lin Bei said.
Wei Ran nodded: "Young Master has informed us a long time ago, so we will naturally make arrangements in advance."
"I have also prepared a share of the Lizhou Camp, but it seems that the Lizhou Camp is not needed. It can save some effort and the troops can be dispatched in two days at most." Fang Jue said with a smile.
Sun Yi suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise: "Where do we get the money to purchase these?"
"Did the imperial court anticipate the fighter jets and pay in advance?"
Wei Ran was also a little surprised and said: "In total, this is a big expense."
Military supplies are inherently plentiful and expensive. Just a batch of cold-proof supplies only costs tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"It's not just supplies to keep out the cold. If Beiliang has been fortified and cleared, we won't be able to support the war with war. The construction of food roads is very important...the price is even more exaggerated." Wei Ran thought of more.
Lin Bei pointed at Fang Jue confidently: "It's okay, we have money."
His temperament is as if he paid for it, very cool and unrestrained.
"Rich?" everyone questioned.
Fang Jue nodded: "You don't need to worry about this. You can take care of the affairs of the camp. We will leave within two days. We can leave at any time."
"Yes..." The generals of the three battalions all accepted their orders.
In the main camp, after the generals dispersed, Fang Jue called over several people from the Xuanjian Division.
"Bai Qing, Hong Yi, how many available people do you have?" Fang Jue asked.
Bai Qing glanced at Ye Hongyi.
Ye Hongyi replied: "Including the Ganzhou and Liangzhou branches, there are nearly two hundred people, but their combat power is not high, they are just ordinary elite soldiers."
Compared with the Xuanjian Division in the capital, the soldiers in these places are far behind. The soldiers in the Xuanjian Division in the capital are quite capable.
"You take the people back in person, take the official road along the way, and meet the Fusiliers Bureau soldiers coming from the capital." Fang Jue said.
"Musket Bureau?" Bai Qing asked in surprise, "The young division has transferred all the Qianhu Camp from the Musket Bureau?"
Fang Jue nodded.
Bai Qing suddenly felt a dull pain between his shoulder and chest, and couldn't help but touch it.
The original shot was still fresh in his memory. It was truly an unreasonable weapon.
"A thousand muskets..." Bai Qing grinned, thinking that even if everyone on the Emperor's Pavilion master list came, they would have to be called one by one.
Ye Hongyi: "Does your Majesty know?"
The musket is an important weapon of the country, and Your Majesty attaches great importance to it. Ye Hongyi naturally wanted to ask about it.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty knows that there is only a small amount of ammunition reserves. A few days ago, I temporarily asked the people from Emperor Zun Pavilion to set up a factory in Liangzhou... The ammunition is produced here, just bring the muskets."
Fang Jue said: "This time the Musket Battalion is the main force. Each battalion is just a raiding formation. The power of the Musket Bureau will be displayed in front of the world for the first time. You must be careful along the way."
"Anyone who attempts to peep into or have access to firearms will be caught and killed!" Fang Jue's tone became colder.
"Yes!" Bai Qing and Ye Hongyi held their hands.
Just when he was about to leave, Ye Hongyi said: "I'm leaving, what will happen to the defense around you?"
"Dianyi is here, nothing will happen, not to mention I have that." Fang Jue gestured.
"Oh..." Ye Hongyi just remembered that Fang Jue had shown her a wall.
…
The twentieth day of the revolt.
Within the territory of Beiliang, there is the capital city of Liangjing.
In the Golden Palace of the Palace City, the Northern Liang Emperor and his courtiers were all in confusion.
"Your Majesty, Na Luo Yang has already reached Xuanchi. The guard of Xuanchi Pass surrendered without a fight and has joined the rebels!" the courtier reported, his tone trembling.
"Xuanchi?"
"It's less than five hundred miles away from Liangjing. It's only been ten or twenty days. How could Luoyang be so fast!"
Emperor Liang's face trembled: "How could it be like this!"
He really couldn't understand that even if Luo Yang marched to Xuanchi, it would take more than ten days.
Didn’t any of the defenders along the road of love resist? A strong city is made of tofu, isn’t it?
Even if it is made of tofu, it is harder than stone in this winter. How many days will it take to attack Luoyang?
"Your Majesty, Na Luo Yang was cruel. There were defenders resisting along the way, but after the city was broken, they were massacred... The defenders behind did not dare to resist too much, for fear of angering Luo Yang, and the tragedy would happen again after the city was broken." Some courtiers said.
He said helplessly.
"Not only that, Luo Yang has a very high reputation in the army. He rebelled and many people followed him. Some of the guards along the way were even his former subordinates or old friends...many people opened their doors to offer sacrifices to the city!"
Emperor Liang smiled bitterly, as if he were mourning his heir: "I have lost my virtue so much, how can Luo Yang win people's hearts?"
He didn't want to believe it, so he asked: "The Ministry of War, when will the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all over the country arrive!?"
"Your Majesty..." Beiliang's Minister of War went out to work with a helpless expression, "The response of the general soldiers, garrison troops and field troops in various places was extremely slow. It seems..."
"What does it seem like?" Emperor Liang was furious.
"They all seem to be waiting..." The Minister of War did not say much, but Emperor Liang understood what this meant.
They were all waiting to see whether Luo Yang would become weaker or stronger along the way.
If Luo Yang is vulnerable, they will naturally protect him and fight for the top spot.
But if Luo Yang is invincible and becomes stronger as he fights, then they have to think about their own fate... If they try to stop Luo Yang now, if Luo Yang ascends the throne in the future, they will definitely be liquidated.
