Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first

The surrender of Jiangnan seems to be like the gong that kicked off the war in the north. Before the battle of Jiangnan had time to be finalized, the battle of Yunzhong in the north and the battle of Longquan in the south kicked off almost simultaneously.

Longquan Mansion is like a majestic beast in the north of Heshuo Plain. It is not only the northern barrier of Jinzhong Heshuo, but also the eastern wing of Montenegro. It is like a thick shield firmly supporting the river. Shuo Zhufu sheltered from the wind and rain. But this time, Longquan Mansion is probably about to usher in the most grand battle since the Taiping Sect people defeated the imperial army here a few years ago. The 200,000 imperial army wiped out the Sanwang Village in the northwest of Zhongzhou almost overnight. The Imperial Fourteenth Army stationed in the fortress group, and even Lan Bailin, the commander of the Imperial Fourteenth Army, also disappeared in this battle. Less than 20,000 people from the entire Fourteenth Army fled to Qinghe territory, and the Imperial City that followed quickly The Guard Army Corps and the Third Army Corps marched westward along the line, bypassing the eastern mountains at the northeast of Longquan and entering the hinterland of the Heshuo Plain, posing a posture of swallowing Longquan and occupying Jinzhong. Liao Kuangyan demanded that the Western Frontier Army withdraw from the entire Heshuo County and Beiyuan County, otherwise they would face serious consequences.

Perhaps many people think that Yusuf's words are nothing but flamboyant and false talk. With the current strength of Xijiang, it is simply ignorant for a small city guard regiment to speak out. People in the current situation in the north know that Yusuf's words are by no means aimless, let alone groundless. The Battle of Yunzhong Mansion has already begun. Although the official war has not yet kicked off, the coalition forces from Dorton and Poole, in cooperation with the Empire's First Army, have surrounded Yunzhong completely. It can be said that the arrow is on the line. It has to be done, and it is also very difficult for the Fifth Army to defend Yunzhong with its own strength. Although their legion is quite good at defense. In the middle line, Qinghe Mansion was very strong under the management of Cui Wenxiu, and the First Division of the Twelfth Army suffered a big loss because of its recklessness. Among the three fronts in the north, Qinghe's defensive momentum on the center line is probably the most stable. On the southern line, the Imperial City Guards Corps, with the cooperation of the Third Army Corps, has approached the Longquan Mansion and directly threatened the safety of Jinzhong. The First Division of the Third Army rushed to the rescue of Longquan, which eased the situation in Longquan slightly. Coupled with the addition of Huangfu Tiancheng Division of the Second Division of the Imperial Guard Corps to join the Jinzhong defense, the southern front finally ushered in a turning point.

Cui Wenxiu was very distressed. In fact, the situation has eased after Qinghe Mansion wiped out the 1st Division of the 12th Army Corps. In particular, His Royal Highness Qin Wang categorically ordered the Tiger Wing Army to abandon the imperial capital and protect Jinzhong first. All of a sudden, the situation in the whole Heshuo has been fundamentally reversed. Longquan Mansion originally only had one Jianghan Division for defense, but now the fourth division has been added, and the defense capability has doubled. Guarding the Ministry, Huangfu Tiancheng's three regiments of soldiers have expanded into an integrated division in the shortest possible time. Although the combat effectiveness may not be comparable to the original second division of the imperial guards, Huangfu Tiancheng is also a well-known veteran of the imperial army, and his large reserve of officers makes it easy for his division to be completed after obtaining sufficient soldiers. Cui Wenxiu believes that only one or two battles are needed for the reorganization of the division, and this division can be fully ranked among the great divisions in the western border.

What Cui Wenxiu felt most depressed was that in this battle, according to the current situation, the Third Army might have to maintain this posture of steady defense and counterattack, even though the four Ranger regiments had rushed overnight. But this kind of long-distance trek of thousands of miles, I am afraid that even if you reach Beiyuan, it will still take a day or two to recuperate before you can go into battle, and the situation in Yunzhong Mansion is already in jeopardy. Stability, this is what His Royal Highness King Qin and himself have made clear. The rangers of these four divisions will go to the battlefield in Yunzhong and launch attacks on the Puer and Dorton people to reduce the pressure on Yunzhong Mansion. Of course, there is no need to say more about the central line. Under the pressure of the City Guards and the Third Army on the southern line, as long as the defense lines in Longquan and Jinzhong can be stabilized, according to Cui Wenxiu's vision, the five or six armies in the Five Lakes and the Peninsula may be It's not time to make some moves. He was struggling in the northern war zone, and they were fighting happily in the south. This was the first time Cui Wenxiu had tasted this kind of taste.

Cui Wenxiu has strong confidence in Jiang Han. Longquan Mansion has him and Zhao Shangwu carrying the banner of defense. He is sure that Yusuf will try the third army's defensive operations. It will not be better than the offensive they are good at. Poor combat. Bo Jinchen has already rushed to the promotion center to set up defenses. The situation in the imperial capital suddenly changed. Ma Yuanxiang regained the power of the imperial guards and completely fell to the Situ family. As the front line, not only the Eighth and Ninth Legion, which has always been ambiguous, may join the battle, but the most dangerous is the Imperial Guard Legion under Ma Yuanxiang's re-control. City, I am afraid that Jinzhong Mansion will become the first stop outright, and the current empire is already in this situation, and it is not new to fear that this taboo will be broken.

Bo Jinchen looked at the handsome, white-faced scholar-like middle-aged officer in front of him with great interest. No one could tell that he was Huangfu Tiancheng, the leading Confucian general in the Imperial Guard Corps, with a thin face and a thin body. He was wearing a Confucian shirt, no matter how you looked at it, he was a literati who had read poetry and books. If he should be called a soldier, most people would think that he was probably a civil servant like the copywriter of the division chief.

What makes Bo Jinchen sigh is that under such circumstances, he, a remnant of the Taiping sect, would sit with the senior generals of the imperial guards, and discuss how to defeat the so-called orthodox royal family of the empire, the Situ family. The things that almost only happened in operas actually happened to me, how could this not let Bo Jinchen have mixed feelings.

"Lord Bo, brother Tiancheng, it seems that Ma Yuanxiang is really going to use troops against us in Jinzhong. We don't know the strength of the imperial guards. It seems that since the establishment of the empire, it has never fought in the imperial capital. Even when the Luobei people or the northern Liberians were the most threatening, it seemed that only the city guards were dispatched, but the imperial guards did not move much. This time, they may really confront us for a while. Brother Tiancheng, you came out of the Imperial Guard Army, and you know the strength of the Imperial Guard Army very well, can you introduce it to us?"

Walking on the city wall of Jinzhong Fucheng, Song Tianxiong looked towards the east. The Yimapingchuan plain connects the east of Jinzhong and Zhongzhou closely, and the Fanjiang River winds along the north of Jinzhong City and flows eastward. It has been flowing into the imperial capital city. This link is also the most important communication channel between Jinzhong and the imperial capital. Most of the coal produced and promoted in the imperial capital travels through this channel.

Now this waterway does not seem to be affected by the tension between the imperial capital and Jinzhong. Merchants, hawkers and tourists, after all, the land route is much faster, and the road from Jinzhong to the imperial capital is also flat and spacious, so if you hurry up, a horse-drawn carriage can arrive in a day and a night.

"Lord Bo, brother Tianxiong, although the imperial guards have never been out of Beijing, they have not been involved in any wars for so many years. Every year, there are some symbolic competitions and exercises. If you want to talk about shortcomings, this is probably The biggest regret of the imperial guards is that there is no system to carry out real wars." Huangfu Tiancheng looked thoughtful, he was carefully considering his words, which are not in line with the facts, and will bring trouble to his colleagues Besides, Huangfu Tiancheng is not the kind of person who wins the respect of his colleagues by using these words.

"If it was before Ma Yuanxiang took over the Imperial Guard Corps, I am afraid that the Imperial Guard Army could indeed be called a paper tiger with a strong external force but a strong but capable man in the middle. Over the years, brothers have to say that the strength of this army has undergone substantial changes~IndoMTL.com~ Huangfu Tiancheng's words suddenly aroused the great interest of Bo Jinchen and Song Tianxiong, "I would like to hear the details. "

"Ma Yuanxiang should be said to be quite capable in terms of military ability and manipulation of power. Mr. Bo probably knows that the struggle for the power of the Imperial Guard has always been the focus of the Situ family, but Ma Yuan Before the late emperor passed away, he remained unmoved, and in the imperial guards, at least three divisions should be absolutely in his hands, and there is another division that, in my judgment, although on the surface it is not the same as the others We have close contacts, but I can assert that as long as Ma Yuanxiang comes forward, he will still be loyal to him. Only brother, hehe, maybe he has always had a rebellious mentality. A second-rate army can't become a true imperial guard army, so it has always kept a certain distance in many aspects. If it weren't for the brothers who have some roots in the second division, I am afraid it would be difficult to sit firmly in the imperial guard army. However, Ma Yuanxiang's heart is quite broad, and he did not deliberately suppress the Second Division for this reason."

"Brother Tiancheng, just because of this point, I'm afraid it's hard to prove that Ma Yuanxiang can reverse the situation you said about being strong outsiders and doing nothing in the middle?" Song Tianxiong frowned. How much change can be made in the hands, the strength of the army cannot be improved by playing tricks, and all soldiers should know it.
