On the tenth day of the war, the White Tiger Army could no longer hold on. Almost all the adult men in Datong Mansion were mobilized, and the people fled one after another. However, the sacrifice of soldiers was still at a rate of at least 2,000 people per day. For the White Tiger Army,
They were so successful that they waited for reinforcements
, there were 50,000 rural troops dispatched from various states. Although they were not elites, their arrival still allowed the Han army to breathe. And the Rakshasa people finally realized that they had been deceived, and the enemy on the opposite side was not that good at all.
many, and their military strength has also been greatly reduced.
Ivanov then changed his strategy. He left part of the army to contain the opponent, and sent another part of the army to suddenly attack Qingzhou eastward. Because the Qingzhou army supported the White Tiger Army in Lianghe Ridge, there was no one to defend it, and it was attacked by the Rakshasa people one after another.
More than a dozen county towns were captured, and countless people were burned, killed, and looted.
Du Shanbo knew that the other side was disturbing their rear, so he divided his troops to support them, but Lianghe Ridge was the key to the battlefield. He could only write to Zhang Xiaowu and ask Zhang Xiaowu to send troops to conquer Qingzhou.
At this time, Zhang Xiaowu had basically reorganized the army in Longdu City. He mobilized 100,000 troops and 40,000 civilians, including 25,000 Longdu troops and 75,000 Southern Township troops and soldiers.
He left 5,000 troops to defend the imperial city, including 3,000 royal guards and 2,000 Longdu government officials. The general who stayed behind at Longdu Palace was the old general Lang Cangyu.
On November 30, when the army was ready, Zhang Xiaowu stayed alone in the Central Palace. He dismissed everyone and sat on the stone steps looking at the entire imperial city. The location of the Central Palace was very good, only a few meters away from the Zhengde Hall.
At a distance of 800 steps, all the buildings of the Eight Departments and Six Courtyards are in front.
The cold wind blew, and Zhang Xiaowu felt a little cold. Maybe it was because he hadn't exercised for a long time, which made him feel like his body was not as strong as before. Under his feet were books of information about the Battle of Lianghe Ridge and the war in Jiangnan.
.
The war in the south of the Yangtze River did not cause the puppet Wu to gain strength because of the White Tiger Army's withdrawal. Instead, the puppet Wu began to have civil strife because of the White Tiger Army's withdrawal. The civil strife in the puppet Wu had long been foreshadowed. If it had not been for the White Tiger Army's pressing step by step, they would have been in civil strife.
The pseudo-Wu Emperor Wang Deyue deposed and married the new queen Tao Xianzi. The officials and troops loyal to Empress Wu immediately deposed the emperor and supported the old leader's daughter to serve as the leader of Tianhuo Cult and revered her as the Queen of the Great Zhou Kingdom. With Wang Deyue's Wu
The national branch court resisted. Wang Deyue never expected?
Instead of quietly retiring in Yuezhou, his yellow-faced queen led a group of friends from the Sky Fire Sect to start a rebellion of her own, and she was immediately furious. He immediately dispatched Deng Fang and Hong Pingjiu to lead five people.
Ten thousand troops crusade against the Sky Fire Cult army.
Did you expect that there was an internal support from the Tianhuo Cult in the Wu army? After entering Yuezhou, the 50,000-strong army encountered obstacles and suffered repeated defeats. Deng Fang, who realized that there was a problem in the army, immediately suggested withdrawing the troops? Hong Pingjiu also believed that they must be eliminated first.
There was a gap, so the two immediately returned to Jiangzhou.
After returning to Jiangzhou, the two told Wang Deyue why they were ambushed one after another, and explained that many people in the Tianhuo Sect were close to Empress Wu and frequently leaked military information, which restricted them and failed repeatedly.
Wang Deyue listened to the advice of Gu Ming, the left prime minister, and began to separate the Tianhuo Cult members from the general soldiers to build camps. He gradually began to distrust the Tianhuo Cultists, and sent the Tianhuo Cultists to the most dangerous battlefields to take advantage of the Zhou Dynasty.
The army eliminated the army composed of Skyfire Cultists.
And when the Wu army lost the Tianhuo cult members, its combat effectiveness dropped sharply. Both sides tried to kill each other, but no one took advantage. Soon after, a joke spread in Jiangzhou City. It turned out that Fairy Tao was unwilling to marry Wang Deyue? In Da
He ran away on the wedding day, and Wang Deyue was furious and ordered everyone to search for Fairy Tao. Unfortunately, Fairy Tao seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and it was difficult to find any traces.
Wang Deyue thought that the reason why Fairy Tao disappeared was because she was kidnapped by the Tianhuo Sect, that is, the spies of the Zhou State caused trouble. In order to relieve his anger, he personally conquered Yuezhou and fought fiercely with the main force of the Zhou army in Yueyang Mansion. Maybe it was all year round.
The reason for not fighting was that Wang Deyue's 80,000-strong army was defeated by the 30,000-strong Zhou army led by Xie Pengfei, and they fled back to Jiangzhou City in embarrassment.
Zhou State and Wu State were incompatible with each other and fought together. Although the battlefield in Jiangnan was without the imperial army, it became even more chaotic.
As for the Battle of Lianghe Ridge, the two sides were never able to completely defeat each other, so they formed a balanced confrontation. However, when the list of fallen soldiers was sent to the court, many people were still silent. Among the generals who died in the battle, more than 90%
Most of the officers were from noble families. On the one hand, this was because noble officers were more likely to
On the other hand, it is because the noble officers would rather die than retreat because of their honor and patriotism. On the contrary, some civilian officers abandoned their troops and fled in order to save their lives when they were defeated. Of course, this does not mean that civilians are not patriotic, and the nobles are more patriotic.
, because among the soldiers killed in battle, almost 100% were civilian soldiers.
After ten days of fierce fighting at Lianghe Ridge, the Han army lost 50,000 lives, and it is said that the corpses were piled into a hill. Some even said that the White Tiger Army built a wall with the corpses of their comrades and used the frozen corpses to resist the opponent's cavalry.
"Hey, why give up the Wolf Pass?" Zhang Xiaowu still couldn't figure it out, but no matter how big the complaints were, they had no place to criticize as the leader of the Wolf Guard, Murong Yan, died in battle. Yes, just three days ago, Murong Yan and
Together with his second son Murongchi
He died in battle, and his ninth son Murong Lie died in battle because Rakshasa attacked the city when he was defending Lianglang Pass a month ago. In addition, Murong Zhan died of the plague last year, so that the Yingchuan Hou family
Of the second generation of men, Murong Yin is the only one left.
Zhang Xiaowu originally planned to punish the Murong family after this battle, but now it seems that there is no need to punish the Murong family because there is only one Murong Yin in the Murong family, who is neither male nor female.
"Your Majesty, General Hu has led the 25th forward regiment to set off overnight, and the 12,000 troops have arrived in Pingan County." Wang Yijin rushed to report that although the march was the next day, the forward troops of the Qinglong Army
Let's set off first tonight.
Yes, Zhang Xiaowu rebuilt the Qinglong Army, including the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 25th, 26th, and 20th Regiments of the Forbidden Army.
The seventh regiment and the twenty-eighth regiment have 12,000 men in each regiment, totaling 120,000 men.
Zhang Xiaowu personally served as the commander -in -chief of the Qinglong Army, the military division was Wusong, and the commander was He Lanzong. Rebuilding the Qinglong Army to let He Lanzong and Chen Qing have a lot of veterans. After all, Zhang Xiaowu is also born in Qinglong Army.
The Qing Dragon Army fought the dog again, and all of them vowed up and down to defeat the dog with the name of the Qinglong Army.
