Datang New Order

ps: Thanks to thhrtgjhu for the reward, and the monthly tickets of many brothers.Due to family affairs, the update is not stable, please understand.

The northern capital, Jinyang.

The young Jin Wang Li Cunxu put his hands on the city wall, bit his lips, and stared at the enemy troops lined up in the city.Brothers in the past, but now they have become enemies. This feeling makes Li Cunxu very sad.

The "Han" flag fluttering in the army formation under the city deeply hurt Li Cunxu's heart. Because of the distance, Li Cunxu could only vaguely see that Li Siyuan and Li Congke under the "Han" banner were looking up at the city, but he didn't know What the hell are they thinking.

Three days ago, Jinyang was surrounded by the three kings of Han, Zheng, and Jin, and they each attacked a city wall. As of today, Li Cunxu's soldiers stationed in the south city have suffered more than [-] casualties. Sergeant.It was only three days. The results that the Xuanwu army had not achieved in a month of siege were achieved within three days by the brothers who had fought side by side.How is this not sad and bewildering?

Since the title of "King of Jin" was removed by the emperor, although Li Cunxu and others did not admit it, the ordinary Hedong soldiers have been shaken. Thousands of soldiers have sneaked out of the city to surrender one after another. According to Guo Chongtao and Zhang Chengye It is estimated that if this wave of fleeing cannot be effectively contained, Jinyang City can only hold on for another three days at most.

No, maybe they won't be able to hold out for two days, because there are only more than 6000 people left in the city, and more than 2000 of them are Black Crow soldiers.However, it was Li Sizhao and Zhou Dewei who originally commanded the Black Crow Army. These two people are now attacking the East City and the West City.

A new round of siege battles started again, Li Cunxu had no time to think about it, and personally supervised the battle with a knife.Amidst the thundering horns and the thunderous fighting, a new life-strife began again in the upper and lower parts of the city.Fortunately, the city of Jinyang finally resisted Li Siyuan's attack when it was dark.But Li Cunxu was hit by an arrow again on the shoulder.

After taking care of his injuries, Li Cunxu returned to the Jin Palace. Guo Chongtao and Zhang Chengye had been waiting for a long time.Li Cunxu asked Meng Zhixiang, who was stationed at the north gate, why he didn't come. Guo Chongtao said that there was an enemy army ambushing outside the north gate.

The four gates were surrounded, could it be that Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao and Zhou Dewei were really so cruel that they didn't even give themselves a way out?Li Cunxu's heart sank.Guo Chongtao and Zhang Chengye also had a bad look on their faces.

Guo Chongtao said slowly: "Your Highness, we still abandon the city, Jinyang can't take it anymore."

Li Cunxu didn't speak, just hung his head in a silent daze.

"Your Highness, let's go. Now that the army has lost morale, if we continue to defend, the soldiers will run away." Zhang Chengye also began to persuade.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, a sergeant reported.Said that Meng Zhixiang was back.

Meng Zhixiang hurried in with an anxious expression on his face: "Your Highness, there are enemy traces at the north gate. It is Zhou Dewei's cavalry. It is estimated that there are thousands of them... Also, a commander under a certain command went out of the city to join the enemy, and he took away More than 600 sergeants..."

In fact, long before the siege, the three persuaded Li Cunxu to abandon the city.But Li Cunxu did not agree. This is the place where the Li family has been stationed for 20 years, and he is really reluctant.But the situation is not in control.After three days of fierce fighting, defeat is inevitable, the question now is how to evacuate.

"What about the family members?" As soon as this sentence was asked, it meant that Li Cunxu finally agreed to abandon the city.

Guo Chongtao, Zhang Chengye, and Meng Zhixiang looked at each other for a moment, Meng Zhixiang said: "Let's go tonight, go out of the north gate with light soldiers, bring family members and carts. A certain led troops to attack the south gate, to attract the attention of the enemy."

"Then how do you go?" Li Cunxu asked Meng Zhixiang.

Meng Zhixiang said: "After Your Highness left, so-and-so returned to Jinyang, continued to guard the city in the name of His Highness, and dedicated the city to Li Siyuan the day after tomorrow."

Li Cunxu looked at Meng Zhixiang in surprise, and Meng Zhixiang stared at him with a frank heart, without flinching; he looked at Guo Chongtao and Zhang Chengye, and they both nodded.

"Have you discussed it?" Li Cunxu asked.

"Yes." The three said in unison.

"If you go out of the city with your family, what should you do if you encounter pursuers?" Li Cunxu asked again.

"Jiemuli has brought the tribal cavalry to wait ten miles outside the north gate. Your Highness only needs to rush through these ten miles to escape from danger." Meng Zhixiang handed over a letter of arrows, which was just shot into the city by Jiemuli Yes, after Meng Zhixiang got it, he rushed to Jinwang's mansion immediately.

Li Cunxu didn't say anything, he let out a long sigh, and patted Meng Zhixiang on the shoulder.

……

Bochang camp.

After a night of military discussions, Zhong Shao was exhausted and sat alone in the tent for a long time, and only stepped out of the barracks when the sun rose.

The sergeants had already finished their breakfast and were packing their luggage. They put away their backpacks and put them on the cart.The soldiers of the logistics battalion were dismantling the war defense equipment placed on the camp, such as catapults, ballistas, punching carts, jamming carts, antlers, wooden villages, ropes, etc., and dismantled them into parts one by one.

The scene of working in the camp was very busy, but Zhong Shao could feel a faint atmosphere of sadness and the reluctance in the eyes of the soldiers.After all, after staying here for two years, it would be uncomfortable for anyone to leave suddenly.

Ge Congzhou's Taining Army entered Zizhou three days ago, and Wang Shifan personally led the Pinglu Army. No, it should be called the "Qi Army" at this time, and it has already approached Qiancheng, less than 6 miles away from Bochang. Lidi.Within a hundred miles around Bochang, more than [-] enemy troops have been identified, and it is said that more enemies are continuously marching towards Bochang.

Dark clouds overwhelm the city, and the war will start!

There are more than 5000 people in each battalion of the Lulong Army under the jurisdiction of the Bochangxing Camp. Compared with the enemy army, their strength is relatively weak, but Zhong Shao doesn't think he can't fight.

Once upon a time, he was just a peasant who carried soil to fill the river in Weizhou City. Zhong Shao never thought that he would become the commander of a party six years later, leading an army of tens of thousands to compete with the heroes of the world. It was a gift from a tall officer who found himself by the side of the river and recruited himself into his army of only twenty men.

Zhong Shao is very content to be able to get to where he is today. He wants to fight for that officer with all his strength and help him realize his dream of sweeping the world and revitalizing the Tang Dynasty. He will die without regret!Even with such a disparity in strength, he still wanted to defend Bochang and drive the nail in the south of the river for His Royal Highness King Yan.

Zhong Shao had experienced wars for a long time, he knew that Ge Congzhou's Taining Army and Wang Shifan's Pinglu Army were not the Bohai Navy back then.It is almost impossible to break ten with one as in the past.However, Zhong Shao had [-] cavalry under his command. With the clearly superior cavalry force, although he could not defeat the enemy, he could control the hundreds of miles of countryside around Bochang, posing a huge threat to the attacking enemy troops, thus creating conditions for the stable defense of Bochang. Shao is confident that he still has a chance.

For this reason, Zhong Shao made the arrangements as early as a month ago and sent suggestions to Youzhou.I hope that the two thousand cavalry of the Liaodong Security Army can return to Bochang and be placed under their own jurisdiction.

But Zhong Shao, who was full of desire for war, received a withdrawal order, asking him to immediately abandon Bochang and withdraw to Dizhou on the north side of the Dahe River.Looking at the short and cold military order, Zhong Shao found it very difficult to accept, but after unfolding Zhang Xingzhong's autographed letter to him, he understood.

The emperor sealed the world, and the king of Liang joined the princes in the eastern metropolis, gathered a force of one million, and prepared to enter Hebei from the Shangdang area.Will attack Lulong!

With Hebei's own strength, he can stand alone against the heroes of the world. Such a disparity in strength does not allow Lu Long to support multiple battlefields.The meaning of the General Staff of the Military Staff.It is to abandon Zhiqing, shrink the troops, and try our best to prevent the coalition forces of the princes from capturing Shangdang.If you can't do it, you have to retreat too far.Relying on the steepness of Taihang to ensure the safety of Hebei.

So, how to safely withdraw across the river in front of the superior enemy army?To this.The Military General Staff also gave a clear answer.Through private and secret communication with Wang Shifan, the United Front Work Office obtained a promise from the newly promoted Qi king that the Qi army will stay in Qiancheng for three days to allow time for Lu Longjun to cross the river, on the condition that damage to Bochang City and the surrounding military camp facilities is not allowed .At the same time, King Qi also told Lu Long that although the Qi army participated in the allied forces of the princes, it had no intention of being an enemy of Lu Long's army, and hoped that King Yan would not worry.

The three days are very tight, but Zhong Shao is very confident in the army he is commanding, and there should be no problem in safely withdrawing to the north bank of the Great River.In addition, Zhong Shao looked at the busy but well-organized military camp, and made up his mind that he would rush to Shangdang, to the battlefield where Lu Long's life and death were concerned.

……

Hedong, north of Luzhou, Xiangyuan.

In the middle of the night, a group of torches approached quickly, which aroused the vigilance of the sergeants at the top of the city.In a blink of an eye, there was a loud sound of clappers, and hundreds of soldiers poured out from the top of the east gate, bows and crossbows were stringed, and swords and guns were bright.

When the torch reached the city, an officer in the cavalry was the first to shout: "So-and-so is An Zhonghui, open the door quickly!"

The officer at the top of the city looked carefully, and exclaimed: "An Yatou is back, open the gate!" The gate opened, and An Zhongjiao led hundreds of rampages into the city. Door! Let you command to the county government to meet someone!"

An Chonghui didn't stop, and went directly to the county government office.After a while, five or six officers rushed to the county government office out of breath. After the meeting, An Chonghui immediately ordered them to pack their bags quickly and lead the sergeants to evacuate with him.

"Going in such a hurry?" an officer asked.

An Zhonghui nodded: "That's right, Lu Long's army is here. They have already stationed seven miles away and will arrive tomorrow. I'll give you an hour to pack up quickly and leave overnight. By the way, are there any family members of the troops staying here?" of?"

The officer replied: "It's already gone, there are only sergeants in the city."

An Chonghui let out a long breath, and said again: "The only way to go now is to take the Huping trail, which is more dangerous, but it can avoid the enemy army - the north can no longer be walked, and the man has already reached the county... "

The officers looked at each other, and one of them said, "King Jin has arrived in the county?"

An Chong said: "The false king of Jin!"

The officer bowed his head and said, "Yes, the false king of Jin..."

"Xiangxian County is stuck on the main road in the north, and it is no longer possible to go, so there is only Huping Trail. Tell the brothers, abandon all luggage, travel lightly, and when you arrive in Qinzhou, you will have everything!"

Xiangyuan county suddenly became noisy, and after two hours of tossing, they hurriedly escaped from the west gate, and the whole county immediately fell into dead silence.Because after Xiangyuan is recaptured in the future, this small city will be placed under the rule of King Han. Therefore, An Zhongjiao strictly forbids the soldiers to destroy the city.

At dawn, Xiangyuan ushered in the noise again. The brigade Lu Longjun entered the deserted town, and immediately began to take over the defense and build war equipment.

The banner of "Youyan Security Army" was erected high above the city tower, under the flag, Li Xiaoxi led the army and generals to look to the north.

"This is our battlefield. From today onwards, we will stick to it to ensure the safety of the north of Luzhou and the control of Fukouxing. Everyone, don't you need to say more about the meaning of this battle?" Li Xiaoxi told everyone The officer said.

The officers nodded one after another, their faces solemn.

Li Xiaoxi said to Liu Dutou who was beside him: "Old Liu, I can only wrong you to serve as the head of the capital for the time being. The head of the security battalion is in the hands of the General Administration, so I can't be dismissed. If you can make meritorious service in this battle, I will report to the General Administration." The Department asks for the establishment, and I will also give you a battalion!"

Liu Dutou bowed and said: "General Li, don't worry, the brothers in Dongyangdu will never insult the banner of the Security Army."

Since April, the General Staff of the Military Staff has increased the deployment of troops to the Shangdang area. Li Xiaoxi was ordered to transfer the entire Third Brigade and Ninth Battalion of the Security Army to Shangdang.But Li Xiaoxi still felt that these troops were not enough, so he simply came up with the idea of ​​Dongyang Capital, and after talking with Liu Dutou, Liu Dutou immediately joined the security army. He had intended for a long time, how could he refuse?

Everyone waited until noon, when an army came from a distance, several outpost scouts galloped to the bottom of the city, and shouted: "Which general is in the city? His Royal Highness King Jin of a certain family has arrived!"

Li Xiaoxi smiled, and said to all the officers: "Everyone, come with XX to welcome the King of Jin, the King of Jin is familiar with XX, so you don't need to be restrained then, haha!" (To be continued...)
