The Sacred Ding Chapter 170: Change General
The rebels controlled by the Chimei Sect have about 1,000 elite believers above the Spirit Realm, while Xiyuanjin, which retreats to the northern **** of Zuojin Valley, will only have around 300 people in the Spirit Realm camp, which is a huge gap.
On the fifth day, the rebels gathered in the mountains north of Zuojin Valley covered the sky and closed the day. There were as many as four to five million, and the absolute number was more than ten times that of the remnants of the Xiyuan Army.
However, the core advantage of the Xiyuan Army is that the grassroots generals are extremely elite, which is far from comparable to that of the refugee rebels without much training.
There are more than 40,000 generals and soldiers from the remnants of the Xiyuan Department, and 7,000 or 8,000 people from Minyong's background. The basics are a little worse, but the other generals are Jianrui selected from the prefectures and counties of Gyeonggi by the Xiyuan Army. The seventh under Chen Hai's command is the Jiangyang gangsters sent from various places. There are more than 40,000 people, and there are a total of 7,000 or 8,000 people who have Wuxiu's foundation in the Profound Realm, and they can be called elites everywhere.
Although Yao Qitai and Tu Zhongjin have rebuilt the soldiers and horses, they have not yet regained morale from the chaos, but after Chen Hai’s rate of the seventh has been expanded to 20,000 soldiers, they have begun to take the form of the tiger and wolf division, holding the camp and having guards. Yu Qi, Tu Chongzheng and other strong men took the place, defying the heavenly master, Gong Liang, dared to lead the red eyebrow followers and large groups of rebels.
However, the large number of rebels controlled by Chimei is one aspect. At the same time, they always bring together thousands of elite believers. They advance and retreat extremely fast. Chen Hai can't lead his troops out to fight and can only do everything. Means to strengthen the defense of the three big camps forming the horns.
For Chen Hai, insisting on sending reinforcements to the Taiwei Mansion is a big victory.
To hold onto the rebels and preserve the face of the Xiyuan Army is also the core strategic intention that Chen Hai established first and led his troops north to Tongbei.
The heavenly master Gong Liang may not be willing to suffer too much casualties from the elite cultists around him, but when four to five million rebel generals gather, he will never be able to stand up without doing anything, and it is impossible for Chen Hai to delay. When reinforcements arrived at the Taiwei Mansion, they were forced to withdraw into the mountains and old forests.
In addition to stepping up the attack on the walled city in Tongbei, from the third day, the rebels' offensives against the three large camps have been launched one after another.
Four to five million rebels, about seven to eighty thousand people with black scarves, complete armors, and even a large number of war horses, their combat power is stronger than ordinary local weapons. Although these Black Scarf soldiers could not be compared with the tiger and wolf division led by Chen Hai, they were rare elites among the refugee rebels.
These black turban soldiers can only come from the bandit village deep in the Qin Tong Mountain. They also have obvious traces of training. They advance and retreat in an orderly manner. The formation of pawns, archers, shields, halberds, and infantry is relatively complete. It is relatively sophisticated, and even has a small number of chariots and weapons used for attacking camps.
It can be seen that the Crimson Eyebrow Cultists infiltrated and controlled the various bandits in the deep Qin Tong Mountain several years ago.
This reminds Chen Hai of the scenes that he saw in Yulong Mountain and Chishan City. After tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of refugees rebelled against the three-five black robe cultists of the Red Eyebrow Sect, after a **** fight with the local military equipment, Large groups of refugees were wiped out, but there were still small groups of elites who moved and withdrew with the red eyebrows and black robe followers.
Chen Hai suspects that the Black Scarf soldiers gathered in the Tongbei area at this time included some of the soldiers and horses who had withdrawn from the south of Yulong Mountain.
When the rebels launched an offensive on the three large camps of the Xiyuan Army, the Tianshi Gong Liang, wearing bright yellow robes, personally overwhelmed more than a thousand elite followers of the Red Eyebrow Sect, and used the black scarves as the Chinese army to push into the Xiyuan Barracks, but What really pressured them to directly attack the camp was the refugee generals with large numbers of wooden shields and iron spears on both wings, and few armors.
Chen Hai could naturally realize that the heavenly master Gong Liang still had to use cruel camps to train the Refugee Army, and the Refugee Army wanted to grow up quickly. Although the training of **** warfare was cruel, it was the fastest and most effective.
Faced with the cruel calculations of the heavenly master Gong Liang, Chen Hai was helpless.
There is no shortage of the Chimei Sect rebels who are skilled in general soldiers; this is not surprising, Ying Wang Yingshu led his troops in the Nanzheng Yunmeng Rebellion and suffered a great loss for the Chimei Sect.
And after some adequate defense and preparation, the elite cultists of the Scarlet Eyebrow Sect, the elite Black Scarf soldiers and the displaced generals deployed extremely meticulously. Even if Chen Hai led his troops out to counterattack, after peeling away the outlying refugees, he could not get the slightest advantage in the face of the elite Black Scarf soldiers and the elite Cultists inside.
For more than ten days of stalemate, Chen Hai couldn't catch the loopholes of the rebels and carry out a fierce and merciless counterattack, let alone defeat the elite Black Scarf soldiers and the Scarlet Eyebrows. He could only delay the war needlessly.
In order to prevent the Tianshi Gongliang from concentrating the elite followers of the Scarlet Eyebrow Sect to perform magical powers, Chen Hai divided into three camps to defend and expand the scope of the camp as much as possible to have enough buffer area. Chen Hai also organized Cen Yunfei, Chen Qing and others, as well as some of the fleeing generals who had returned from the south, to form a team of hundreds of elite profound practitioners to cope with the surprise attacks that the elite of the Scarlet Eyebrow Sect might have at any time.
At this time, Chen Hai's incorporation of a large number of craftsmen in the camp also played a vital role.
When all the resources are mobilized, the heavy battalion can transform dozens of three-bow bed crossbows with a firing range of more than a thousand steps every day, and create more defensive biases based on the current crude conditions. Combat weapons such as vans, iron beams, and moving fences are placed in the camp to prevent the magical attacks of the elite followers of the Scarlet Eyebrow Sect.
The heavenly master Gong Liang does not care about the lives of the refugees and generals. Every day, he urges thousands of refugees to attack the camps of the Xiyuan Army, and the **** fight never stops.
Even if the generals of the Xiyuan Army have a better foundation for physical training than the refugees, the number is a major disadvantage after all. After the migrants’ battles, they will inevitably be exhausted, and the number of the Red Eyebrows is also one. A great advantage, it is about to be in the rear, and a large number of falling rocks can be thrown into the camp seven or eight miles away, with a large number of flames and ice cones between them, tearing the ground, or creating violent storms to sweep the camp of the West Garden Army.
Although Chen Hai and the others had stored a lot of talisman seals before they set off, the Crimson Eyebrow Cultists were able to refine the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth into the true essence at the beginning of the day, and they could concentrate on performing one round of magic magic powers every day. The talisman seals on the side are consumed extremely quickly, and sometimes they can't be defended, and if they are negligent, it is easy to cause masses of death and injury.
The Xiyuan Army quickly accumulated a lot of casualties.
The casualties of the refugee rebels are even more tragic. Every day, thousands of people fall, filling the trenches dug in front of the simple village walls, filling up the magical powers and tearing open the cracks in the earth.
The blood is flowing into a river, and the land in the northern part of Zuojin Valley has been dyed red and black.
Because there are strong men like Gongliang, the rebels, and the number of rebels is far more than that of the Xiyuan Army, they quickly went to the mountains south of Zuojin Valley to establish outposts.
In this way, Chen Hai and the others were completely surrounded by the rebels, and they were unable to get in touch with the outside world through the blockade of the Heavenly Master Gongliang and the Red Eyebrow Sect High Sacrifice Liquor Grade Powerhouse; Qingpeng Bird and other spirit birds could not fly out. The scope of the big camp, to detect the enemy's surroundings.
Follow-up, after the initial chaos, the elite generals and soldiers have seen that there is no other way out except to defend the camp. They gradually get better together, even though there are accumulated casualties every day. , But the overall combat power has not been greatly weakened.
It has always been like an indestructible reef, standing in the north of Zuojin Valley, let the rebels beat the waves.
Cao Feng and others expected that the Taiwei’s Mansion would send reinforcements in ten and a half months, but in fact they stayed on until the 56th day and waited until the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the 73rd year of Emperor Yitian. The army left nearly a hundred thousand dead bodies and evacuated to the mountains to the north.
Fan Chun sent the people to cross the Zuojin Valley blocked by the cliff and enter the camp. Only then did Chen Hai and the others know that in addition to the 30,000 elites in the Xiyuan Army, the Taiwei Mansion was transferred from the Jingzhao Mansion Garrison. Wan Jiazuo, general Su Wei Fan Chun, Jianjun Envoy, and Sanqi Changshi Wen Boyuan led all of them to assist Tongbei. Only then did they reach the Taoshui River south of Zuojin Valley.
At this time, Daying only had three days left to store food.
Tu Zhongjin and others will not understand why the reinforcements arrived until today, and they will inevitably feel resentment. Only Chen Hai, Tu Ziji, and Zhao Rong know what is going on.
If the Taiwei’s Mansion recruits the elite of the Tiger and Ben Army from the Qinglongyu Camp, it is undoubtedly the fastest move, but from now on, let’s not say that the Xiyuan Army will not be able to stand by the side of the Tiger and Ben Army, even independence. It is difficult to maintain.
And the Tiger Ben Army may not be willing to come and wipe the **** of the Xiyuan Army. At this time, it is not just the civil riots in the Qintong Mountain west of Gyeonggi. As the Tiger Ben Army with the strongest combat strength and the most generals, it is also responsible for it. Military suppression in the other three directions.
Finally, the 30,000 soldiers and horses left by the Xiyuan Army were led by General Suwei Fan Chun and Sanqi Changshi Wen Boyuan, and 50,000 soldiers were transferred from the Jingzhaofu Guards to aid Tongbei. This should also be It was the final decision after many officials in the DPRK and the Taiwei Mansion repeatedly disputed.
However, Chen Hai and Tu Zhongjin led their troops to defend the camp in the north of Zuojin Valley and stayed with hundreds of thousands of refugees for nearly two months. Not only did they not give the refugees a chance to take advantage, they also left the refugees in the north of Zuojin Valley. Nearly a hundred thousand corpses of the army ~ IndoMTL.com ~ This battle is of course not a big defeat.
It is also the most critical bargaining chip for Suwei General Fan Chun and Sanqi Changshi Wenboyuan to lead the Xiyuan Army to stay behind to help Tongbei and continue to retain the Xiyuan Army instead of directly abolishing it.
By this time at least the combat power of the Xiyuan Army has been proven, indicating that the training of the Xiyuan Army in the past year has been fruitful; as for the Leiyang Valley collapse, the Xiyuan Army’s generals suffered more than 20,000 casualties. The local military equipment killed more than 100,000, and that was the responsibility of Wei Yuqi as the chief general to investigate the unknown enemy.
Fan Chun accompanied Fan Chun to Zuojin Valley, and the military envoy from Taiwei's Mansion, who brought a talisman to revoke Wei Yuqi's post as the commander of Xiyuan, and Fan Chun took over.
Wei Yuqi immediately returned to Yanjing and accepted the review of the Taiwei's Mansion; in the later period, the general Fan Chun and Wen Boyuan, the guardian general, were also responsible for the suppression of Qin Tongshan rebels.
At this time, Chen Hai learned that the official title of "Mr. Wen" was the Sanqi standing attendant in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Palace.
The imperial palaces and princes' palaces all set up inner palaces in charge of affairs such as money, food, and other matters, usually by the imperial groups and the kings' close ministers or eunuchs, who were awarded the rank of standing attendant.
Sanqi Changshi and other close ministers of the inner government, are officials of low rank but very important status. Sometimes they often supervise the military and administration on behalf of emperors and kings. The children of the eight tribes of the Jingjun County are in charge of the political affairs, and the emperor uses the scattered cavalry to serve these close ministers to suppress the forces of the eight tribes of the Jingjun County. It is a tradition since Dayan was founded.
This time, Wen Boyuan directly served as the Supervisor of the Xiyuan Army. It is without thinking that it was the result of a series of operations behind the scenes by Yingwang Yingshu. This means that Prince Yingdan formally agreed to be the "direct line" of the British king. Ying Shu directly intervenes to control the Xiyuan Army.
Chen Hai doesn't know how Ying Wang Yingshu won the trust of the prince, and it is hard to imagine how violent it would be after Prince Yingdan knew Ying Wang Yingshu's true position. However, all that should have nothing to do with him.
