Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 5 Breaking the enemy

On October 27, 689 in the Gregorian calendar of the mainland, Beiyuan County in the north of the Tanghe Empire broke out in the largest peasant slave uprising in the empire in the past ten years.

The uprising occurred in Qinghe Prefecture in the south of Beiyuan County. Because the local officials did not pay enough attention to it, they thought that it was the same as the small-scale riots in the previous period. In just one week, it spread to neighboring Pinglu Mansion, Laizhou Mansion in Yanyun County, Heishan Mansion and Longquan Mansion in Heshuo County. It has grown to nearly 60,000 people, and there is still a trend of continued development.

The rebel army captured several large market towns in Qinghe Prefecture one after another, defeated the two regiments of the Qinghe Prefecture Security Division and the coalition armed by local landlords and merchants who came to suppress them, and seized several large landlords and merchants. His family property, as well as a small arsenal of the local garrison, obtained a large amount of logistics supplies, and the momentum became stronger. Small groups of rebels from neighboring prefectures also moved closer to this side, hoping to join them. Seeing that the situation was out of control, the officials of Qinghe Mansion and Beiyuan County woke up like a dream, hurriedly reported to the Imperial Central Committee, and asked for help from the Second Army Corps of the Imperial Army stationed in Anyuan Mansion, the capital of Beiyuan County.

Dezheng Palace, the inner city of the empire. There was silence in the hall, except for the deep voice of Lu Wenfu, Minister of the Interior; "At present, the mob mainly gathers in Da'anji, Gucheng Town, and Taihe Town in Qinghe Prefecture. It borders Longquan Mansion in Heshuo County. We defeated our local local security force and robbed a lot of weapons and supplies, so it developed rapidly. It is estimated that the number is close to 80,000. Now the first and second security divisions of Longquan Prefecture are ready and are on standby in the prefectural city. Due to the extremely unstable situation in the neighboring counties, Anyuan Prefecture, Qinghe Prefecture, and Pinglu Prefecture in Beiyuan County, Longquan Prefecture and Heishan Prefecture in Heshuo County, and Laizhou Prefecture in Yanyun County have all declared a state of emergency. The Second Army Corps stationed there requested assistance, but because there was no order from the military headquarters and the Northern Military District, the Second Army Corps has not yet responded.”

Situ Mingyue, the thirty-first emperor of the empire, sitting on the imperial chair directly above, had a gloomy face and half-closed eyes. Lu Wenfu paused for a while before speaking in a cold tone. "He Aiqing, tell me too."

The emperor was referring to He Zhiqiu, Minister of Military Affairs, a skinny old man about fifty years old who stood out from the crowd. "Your Majesty, the report of the Second Army and the Northern Military Region has been reported to the minister, and the minister is preparing to report to your majesty. Apart from this situation, I still have some other matters to report to your majesty"

"Speak."

"According to the information we have, the troops of Kaman, Heathrow, and Poole on the northern border have been abnormally mobilized recently. Several main corps of the armies of the three countries have all moved south to the border area bordering our country. The two legions and three independent divisions under the jurisdiction of the Northern Military Region have all entered a state of alert. We have notified the embassies of the three countries in our country. The ambassadors of the three countries all called routine military mobilization and drills. But we doubt The action of the Three Kingdoms has a certain connection with the riots in the north of our country. In addition, Sir Lammon, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Principality of Terok, also informed us that the armies of Heathrow and Kaman are conducting large-scale military exercises in the border area with their countries, requesting that our west The Third Army Corps of the military region moved closer to the north to prevent accidents."

"Every dear dear, what do you think."

"The general believes that the most urgent task at the moment is to quell the riots, and the military deployment of the three northern countries is nothing more than trying to fish in troubled waters. As long as we prepare for the battle and at the same time do our best to extinguish the unruly riots, I think they will only be happy in vain. "The speaker was a military general in his forties who spoke with a southern accent. He was Count Yusuf, the commander of the Imperial City Guard Corps.

The emperor's eyes turned to another general next to him, and Ma Yuanqian, the head of the imperial guards, also rushed out. "The last general also believes that the country should be settled first, but if it is necessary to transfer troops from the northern military region or the eastern military region, it should be carefully considered to prevent foreign enemies from taking advantage of it."

"Dear dears, do you have other opinions."

Seeing that none of the others in His Highness said anything, the emperor frowned, "He Aiqing, tell me about the opinion of the military department."

The opinions of the two generals just now are very reasonable. I have discussed with Mr. Lu, and there is a plan, please Your Majesty to decide. "

"Speak."

"I discussed with Lord Lu that the five garrison divisions of the four prefectures will form a chain in the north and west, and take a defensive position. The two divisions of the city guard corps in the east and south will take a pincer offensive to attack. The three divisions of the Three Army Regiments are close to the border with the Terok Principality in the north to prevent accidents. All troops in the Northern Military Region maintain a high level of alert to deal with emergencies. At the same time, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Su, can protest to the three countries against their destruction of the border. The situation may lead to a war between the two countries. Please decide whether it is appropriate or not."

"Everyone, if you have any comments and opinions, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, I think that in some areas of the three northern counties, tax reductions and exemptions can be announced for those places that are really difficult, and relief can be opened, so as to appease the hearts of the people and disintegrate the morale of the mob." Minister of Agriculture Qin Yuedong came out to suggest .

The emperor nodded in satisfaction and said, "Qin Qing is right, I will let you and Tian Aiqing handle this matter. The rest will be arranged immediately according to what He Qing played just now, and strive to win."

On November 15th, 689, the Second Division of the Imperial City Guards set off from the western suburbs of the imperial capital and marched from south to north. Outflank from southeast to northwest.

Before the war, the Third Division held a combat meeting for leaders above the brigade of the entire division. At the meeting, the head of the Hawker division conveyed the spirit and main points of the military meeting held by the military headquarters, and asked everyone to cheer up and strive to play the prestige of the third division. This is also a rare opportunity for exercise and meritorious deeds. Then, the chief of staff made arrangements for the tasks of each wing. After the meeting, Wufeng returned to the brigade and immediately held a meeting of all soldiers of the brigade on the playground. At the meeting, he briefly summarized the training results and talked about the severe situation facing the northern part of the empire. Wufeng once again displayed his incomparable speech skills .

"Brothers, happiness always comes suddenly. I have received an order. We are about to go to the north to meet our first battle. The fruits of success are waiting for us to taste. It is no longer possible to get promoted and get rich. It's a dream, the enemy is just a group of country bumpkins who have never received formal training, as long as we eliminate them, gold coins, slaves, and beautiful women will have everything. This opportunity is not to be missed, and time will never come again. Let us hold our chests up to welcome our first glory. "

The words stimulated everyone to shout loudly, and the deafening roar resounded through the sky. Even Liang Chongxin, who had always been calm, couldn't help his blood boil, wishing he could set off right away.

After five days and nights of rapid march, the third division had reached the junction of Laizhou Mansion in Yanyun County of the Empire and Pinglu Mansion in Beiyuan County. The troops were a little tired, so the division ordered to rest for a day. Wufeng sat in the tent, carefully examining the map on the case.

"Report."

"Come in."

A figure came in.

"It's Chongxin, come and sit down."

When Liang Chongxin came to the case, he did not sit down, but carefully looked at the map on the case.

"My lord, this seems to be the map of our area, but it doesn't seem to be the military map issued by the above. It is much more detailed than the one issued."

"You have a good eye. I ordered this from private scholars in various places when I was traveling around a few years ago."

"Could it be that the adults didn't know the prophets, and knew at that time that we would fight in this area."

"I'm not a fairy, how could I predict the future, but I'm more interested in geography, so I consult local geographers everywhere I travel, and ask them to make a detailed picture of the local area for me. Map. Although it is not standardized, it is much more practical than the ones sent from above. I have traveled in the Western Continent and found that the map production there is much more advanced and better than ours, and the empire has lagged behind a lot in this regard.”

"My lord, I don't know what action will be taken tomorrow."

"Just now I got the latest news from the regiment that the Second Division and the three local security divisions had fought against the enemy in Qinghe Mansion two days ago. I heard that the initial battle was not smooth, but now they have an absolute advantage , I am afraid there will be good news soon."

"It may not be good news for our division. The second division has used up all the fat. I don't know if we can get some soup."

"According to my analysis, the enemy may not be eaten by the Second Division at once."

"Oh, why do adults think so."

"Because the second division has only more than 20,000 people, plus the three local garrison divisions that are not fully staffed, there are no more than 90,000 people at most. The combat effectiveness of the three garrison divisions is uneven, and the rioting army is enough There are about 80,000 people, and these rebellious troops are familiar with the local terrain and are very well supported in the local area. Although they have not received formal training, they have also defeated the local security forces, which shows that they still have a certain combat effectiveness, so even if they are defeated, the Second Division It is impossible for the regiment to catch them all in one go, I guess the enemy will probably flee to us when they are defeated, and at that time, our division can just wait for work and give them a chance to catch them."

"My lord, I hope that our third division can also make a contribution and don't let everyone be happy for nothing." Liang Chongxin breathed a sigh of relief, he had an indescribable sense of trust in his superior.

"Don't worry, you will have a chance to make meritorious service. Go back and rest early, recharge your spirits, and prepare for battle."

Two days later, Wufeng was notified by his superiors in the regiment that the coalition forces of the Second Division and the local garrison defeated the main force of the rebel army in the Wanjiaji area of ​​Qinghe Prefecture, eliminated more than 20,000 rebel soldiers, and captured nearly 30,000 people. The remaining more than 20,000 rebels have divided into more than ten groups and fled towards the third division.

"As expected, it's finally here." Wu Feng murmured to himself.

After receiving the notification, the 3rd Division deployed immediately, with the regiment as the combat unit, and the five regiments spread out to meet them, striving to wipe them out. The Fourth Wing also made deployments to arrange the five brigades in the combat area, keep a certain distance in the middle, and keep in touch at all times to prevent any fish that slipped through the net from escaping. According to the situation reflected in the map, Wufeng asked the fifth brigade to patrol the central hilly area that other brigades did not want to go to, and got consent. After the meeting, the five brigades immediately launched operations and entered a fighting state.

"My lord, why are we assigned this route? This route is not easy to follow. Will the enemy troops take this route when they are busy fleeing?"

"Chongxin, you can see that this road is a little remote, very hidden, but not narrow. There must be locals among the enemies who are familiar with the terrain. They must not have expected us to appear here, so the enemy commander should know Taking this route, I am a little worried that if there are too many enemies, we will not be able to eat them."

"My lord, the enemy is already a bereaved dog, and he must be very tired after running away so far. Our morale is high and we are waiting for work. No matter how many there are, we can take them down."

"Many ants kill elephants, everyone should be more cautious, keep in touch with the wing at any time, all scouts are dispatched, and report quickly if there is any situation."

"Yes." Wufeng led the fifth brigade to maintain a high level of alert and search in an orderly manner.

"Report." A hurried voice sounded.

"Speak."

"A large number of enemy troops were found fifteen miles ahead. The number is unknown, and it is estimated to be more than 3,000. The enemy troops are moving in our direction."

"Order the whole team to enter the fighting state. The first squadron detours to the rear of the enemy, the second squadron marches quickly to the valley in front, and sends two squadrons to ambush on both sides of the valley. The third squadron, the fourth squadron, the fifth squadron and the second squadron one The squad hurriedly marched to the front of the valley and set up defenses, prepared for battle, and immediately reported to the regiment that they had encountered enemy troops and asked for support." Wufeng calmly issued the order, and the squadrons immediately split up to start operations.

After making all kinds of preparations, Wufeng quietly observed the rebellious army that was pouring in like locusts. The rebellious army didn't send scouts at all, probably because they didn't expect to be ambushed here at all, and just fled. Looking at the chaotic army getting closer and closer, Wufeng's calm heart couldn't help but feel a little turbulent, after all, it was his first battle.

"Archers get ready, listen to my orders." Wufeng gave the order in a low voice.

It was getting closer and closer, and the enemy's voice could even be heard. Wufeng raised his right hand, and the archers drew their bows and arrows one after another, holding their breath.

"Put."

Following Wufeng's order. "Swish, swish, swish." The arrows shot out like locusts, and the rebel army was caught off guard, like cutting wheat. At that time, a large area fell into a mess, and some fled to both sides of the valley, and were also attacked by bows and arrows. Some of them fled back, and there were also troops shouting and chasing after them, making the chaotic army even more chaotic.

At this time, Wufeng got up and stood at the highest point of the ambush, and shouted out: "Listen to the chaos army, we are the third division of the Imperial City Guards, you are already surrounded, put down your weapons immediately, Surrender, you can avoid death, otherwise you will be shot." Although the voice was not very loud, it was clearly heard by every enemy soldier.

The panicked enemy army fell silent for a moment, but immediately a hoarse voice shouted: "Brothers, don't listen to them. Surrender is the only way to die. They don't have many people. Go ahead! The only way to survive is to rush out~IndoMTL.com~ Immediately afterwards, several voices shouted, "Come on. "," Don't listen to them. "The situation that the rebellious army had already calmed down became agitated again.

Wufeng spotted the one who raised the head and shouted, probably the leader of this group of rebellious troops. He took a hard bow from a soldier next to him, bent the bow and set the arrow, and did it in one go. The guy who charged forward was shot through the heart by Wufeng, and was killed on the spot. Liang Chongxin and two other officers also shot down the guys who followed the clamor.

Wufeng's cold voice sounded again: "Surrender immediately, and let you have a way out. Those who resist in the corner will be killed without mercy. Those few people just now are role models."

With a sound of "铛!", it is unknown who dropped the weapon first, like an infection. "Xilihuala." All the rebels put down their weapons in an instant. "Hold your head with your hands, line up in a column, and wait to be dealt with." Wufeng issued an order again, and at the same time signaled some troops to monitor closely, and some troops stepped forward to disarm.

When the reinforcements from the regiment arrived, the Fifth Battalion had already cleaned up the battlefield and concentrated the prisoners for guarding. During the clearing of the battlefield, the soldiers found a strange prisoner. When they found him, he had already been tied up. They asked the two soldiers who surrendered and escorted him. Dishe had a quarrel with the leader of the rebel army. He said some radical words, which angered the leader of the rebellion army. He was going to be beheaded. Later, considering that he had made some useful suggestions, which might be useful in the future, he decided to He stayed, but although he was spared the death penalty, the living crime was inevitable. Before he had time to discuss how to deal with him, the rebel army was defeated, and the fugitive rebellion army took him to flee around, and was finally captured by Wufeng and the others.
