I’m The King Chapter 816: : Sunrise East (41)

"Hurry up, hurry up!" A senior officer of the East Conquest Army rode a horse and stood on the side of the road, yelling loudly at the passing carriages, mule carts, and soldiers on foot The look of anxiety on his face is beyond words

His name is Huang Zhan, and the commander of the Second Division under Zheng Xiaoyang's command is considered a senior figure in the East Conquest Army. He also led the army to break out from Donghu. Because of the upheaval in Liaoxi at that time, the eldest son Zhang Junbao launched a coup, killed his father Zhang Shouyue, led his troops to ambush his younger brother Zhang Shubao who returned from Donghu, and completely defected to Zhengdong Army. The Eastern Expedition Army has been advancing triumphantly all the way, and its power is rising. The young generals of those years have now become the mainstay of the Eastern Expedition Army

Qi State invaded Yan State, and the army devoured the current territory of Yan Dynasty like a storm, and the soldiers approached Tianhe. One of the soldiers and horses had been divided into Langya, and on the node of Langya Xintian, conquered the east. The army only garrisoned a battalion of troops, and Huang Zhan led his troops to rescue quickly under the order of Zheng Xiaoyang.

Zheng Xiaoyang has three divisions under Zheng Xiaoyang's command, Ding Wei Division, Huang Zhan Division, and Peng Chao Division. Among them, Ding Wei Division suffered a large loss when attacking Xiaoshan Pass, and is still repairing and replenishing in western Liaoning. It became the main force stationed in Langya, a division with nearly 10,000 people stationed in various parts of Langya. The troops were already stretched. The defense can only rely on the division of Huang Zhan

According to the establishment of the East Conquest Army, the strength of a division is about 15,000 people, but because the Conquest East Army has strict regulations on recruiting soldiers. As a result, they have never been fully staffed, and Master Huang Zhan has less than 10,000 people till now/

The problem is that Huang Zhan wants to leave most of his troops in Langya County, which is the top priority. There must be no mistakes in the slightest, which makes the rescue force he brought to Xinhui look weak and lonely. It is said that it is a regiment, but it is actually less than 3,000 people. 4,000 other troops. They were all left in Langya County and handed over to Zheng Xiaoyang for unified dispatch. He left behind more than 5,000 main forces, together with Zheng Xiaoyang's army headquarters, barely enough for 10,000 people. Start to deploy defenses in Langya, wait until the Ding Wei tribe arrives in Langya, you can gather about 20,000 people

When Zheng Xiaoyang issued an emergency order to Huang Zhan, Huang Zhan's troops were still scattered all over Langya. As soon as he received the order, Huang Zhan mobilized the troops stationed in several nearby counties as quickly as possible to gather enough troops. Gathered a regiment of people and set out immediately, and the county guard Fan Dengke also tried his best. Conquer chariots and horses, 3,000 troops, plus a large amount of military supplies. Within three days, it will start, so efficient and effective, it is enough to make any country's army dumbfounded

Even so, Huang Zhan still felt that it was slow. There were only a few soldiers in Xinhui City, more than a thousand soldiers. How to stop the Qi*team attacking like a tide

Huang Zhan always had a bad feeling in his heart, this time. I'm afraid it's a bit mysterious

Just as Huang Zhan was desperately leading his troops towards Xinhui, the battle for Xinhui had already begun

Xiang Shenkang looked bitterly at the smoke rising not far away. The overwhelming Qi* team had already appeared in his field of vision. This time the attack came so suddenly that the entire Zhengdong Mansion did not react. The Xinhui where he was stationed had only one battalion of troops, one thousand People and horses want to hold on to Xinhui, block these tens of thousands of Qi people, and don't just talk about foolish dreams

Looking around at the soldiers in the city, he couldn't help but sighed. In the entire battalion, there were less than 300 veterans. The soldiers and horses of the second army, and their division, only participated in the subsequent pursuit and quelled the bandit chaos. Compared with other troops, his battalion was worse. These soldiers were recruited just this year. The battle at the beginning of the year was the first battle they participated in, but it was just a participation. When they joined the war, the worst point had passed, and what was left for them was more to chase, sweep, These soldiers have never experienced the cruelty of cleaning the battlefield and the like.

"Notify the officers above the platoon leader to go to the tower for a meeting!" Xiang Shenkang glanced at the Qi army in the distance again, and said to the guards around him expressionlessly

No matter how small Xinhui is, it is still a city. The Qi army pursued the effect of speed and surprise attack. The accompanying army definitely did not carry siege equipment. It will take time for them to build these things. Today, there will be no wars. Walking forward, looking back at the lush green of the mountains around Xinhui, at this moment, in his heart, he wished that a big fire would fall from the sky and burn all these mountains into bare ones.

More than a dozen company platoon leaders gathered in the tower, and everyone's face was not very good-looking. Obviously, no one was sure about the sudden battle

"Brothers" looked at everyone at Shenkang, and said slowly: "You are all veterans, so I don't need to say more, this battle is not in our plan to conquer the Eastern Army. Arrived in a short time, and, in Langya County, I am afraid that it will be difficult to send reinforcements quickly. Everyone knows that our Eastern Conquer Army is fighting at Donghu, and the destruction of Donghu is just around the corner. Once there, in Langya, only Commander Huang has less than 10,000 troops, and the only thing we can count on is the strength of Commander Ding Weiding who is resting in western Liaoning."

He paused, and then said: "Of course, this is relative to the whole Langya, but for the Xinhui under our feet, are we the only ones who can hold on?"

The bottom is silent

"Can we hold it?" he roared

"Yes!" This time, there is finally a response

A smile appeared on Xiang Shenkang's face, and he nodded vigorously, "Brothers, I also know that Xinhui City cannot be held by us alone, but we can decide how long we can hold on." , Is it one day, or five days, or ten days!"

He looked at the crowd, and his voice gradually became louder, "Every day we stand firm, we can buy an extra day for the Eastern Conquest Army, allow Commander Huang to mobilize more troops, and allow Commander Zheng to have more strength." Arranging the defense of Langya County in a short period of time will allow the Zhengdong Army to mobilize more reinforcements to Langya, and it will allow our governor to attack Donghu for one more day, and complete the great cause of taking back the Liaodong Peninsula."

Xiang Shenkang's enthusiasm began to infect all the officers

"I, you, are all veterans who have participated in many wars with the Zhengdong Army. To be honest, we can live to this day and be an officer. How did we ever think about it? At the beginning of the war, too many familiar brothers have already left us. Compared with them, we have actually made money. The big guys’ homes should be in Liaoxi or Hejian, or in Jishi County?"

Seeing everyone nodding, he smiled and said: "In our hometown, we all had our own houses, married wives, gave birth to children, had fields at home, and money in our pockets. Compared with the early years, I don't know how much better it is? What is there to regret in this life? What we have to do now is to defend this hard-won everything."

"We may die in battle, and we will go to the Nine Springs with the brothers who left before, but we must never let our home be taken away by others, our mothers-in-law and dolls, and then bullied and killed by others." To achieve all this, our soldiers keep winning battles until no one dares to fight us again. We may fail, but the Eastern Conquest Army will never fail."

"Conquer the Eastern Army, ten thousand victories!" In the city tower, the roars of officers came from

"If Xinhui defends for one more day, our army will have more chances of winning. Brothers, let us use our blood to defend our honor! Let Xinhui become the grave of Qi people and their dream. Let these Qi people see the military power of the Eastern Army!" Xiang Shenkang drew out his knife, slashed in the air, and said

"Kill!" The officers shouted in unison

"All ministries draw out a certain number of veterans to form a commando team of 100 people to serve as guerrillas. The rest of the ministries, each guarding the city wall, go and prepare to fight the enemy to the death!" Xiang Shenkang took the lead and strode away come out

Under the city of Xinhui, the vanguard general of the Qi army, Tian Jingwen, reined in his horse. This was the first obstacle in front of them. There are no more than a thousand soldiers of the Zhengdong Army, and in Langya, there are no more than 10,000 soldiers left behind by the Zhengdong Army~IndoMTL.com~. When they were in the midst of a fierce battle with the Donghu people, they suddenly sent troops and were caught off guard

As a child of the Tian family and a general of the Qi State, Tian Jingwen admires the foresight and foresight of the chief assistant. According to rumors, the Zhengdong Army has never been defeated on the battlefield. The defeat came from the hands of the Qi army, right?

"The order was sent, the whole army set up camp, and all the ministries dispatched men to cut down trees, and the craftsmen accompanied the army to make siege equipment as quickly as possible. Tomorrow morning, I want to see ten siege engines, fifty siege engines A city car, a hundred ladders appeared in the team, and one is missing, military law is in charge!" Tian Jingwen said loudly

At the command of the army, more than 10,000 pioneers of the Qi army immediately started to move. Some set up camp, and more sent out teams to rush towards the surrounding mountains. Tian Jingwen's subordinate, Tian Jingwen showed a smile. His brother Tian Zongmin was ordered to go to Donghu, and later died on the battlefield with Zhengdong Army. After his death, he couldn't even return his body to his hometown. Revenge

Looking at the city of Xinhui again, a trace of contempt flickered in the corner of Tian Jingwen's eyes
