www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Young Master Fierce!
March 16, the ninth year of the Xuanli calendar, spring blooms in the wild fields, and Yan has returned.
Fu Xiaoguan and his entourage, led by the officials of Guanli Hall, left Fancheng and headed for Guanyun City - As for Guan Tong, Guan Tong had been rained for most of the day yesterday, and he was extremely angry. , fell ill and found it difficult to live, so he stayed in Fancheng to recuperate.
The journey to Guanyun City is only over a hundred miles away, but this over a hundred miles is all the way up, so the speed of the convoy is not very fast.
Wu Ling'er found an excuse to discuss business with the two sisters and got into Yu Wenyun's princess carriage. Fu Xiaoguan was kicked out by Dong Shulan and sat in his own carriage dejectedly.
At this moment, he was looking at the letter and secret report in front of him.
What he said to Yan Hanyu yesterday at Fancheng Yingbin Tower about the war in the east was naturally a lie. After the eldest prince Yu Wentian took control of the eastern frontier army, he failed to drive the Yi army to the Sangyu line. It didn’t collapse like mud. The latest information from Xiaoyulou is this:
On February 20th of the ninth year of Xuan Li, the enemy and we deployed a total of 260,000 troops on Shilipo. The strength of both sides was equal.
The war started at Chenshi. Our General Fei led 50,000 heavy cavalry to rush down the ten-mile **** and penetrated the enemy's main formation at the beginning of Sishi. Then, 60,000 light cavalry on both wings clashed with the enemy, and the enemy retreated to Guanshan. set.
However, our army suffered heavy casualties. At the end of the battle, both sides paid gold and retreated, but our army failed to break through Guanshanji.
Based on post-war statistics, 16,000 of our 50,000-strong heavy cavalry were killed and 28,000 wounded, of which 5,000 were seriously injured and only more than 20,000 were able to fight.
There are only 40,000 of our 60,000 light cavalry capable of fighting.
It's night, midnight.
General Fei once again led 20,000 heavy cavalry to attack Guanshanji. The enemy was repulsed for a time, but failed to be defeated. The enemy launched a counterattack at Yu Chou and recaptured Guanshanji.
On February 23, after the eldest prince sent 20,000 light cavalry to reach Guanshanji via Huaxi and Linjiapu, General Fei sent 15,000 heavy cavalry to charge the enemy in Guanshanji.
On February 25, this strategy was successful. Our army recaptured Guanshanji and the enemy retreated to the Sangyu defense line.
General Fei intended to pursue the victory, but was stopped by the eldest prince, because at this point, of the 300,000 eastern frontier troops who could fight again, only more than 100,000 remained, mostly infantry.
After that, our army strengthened the defense line of Guanshanji, and the eldest prince's command tent was moved to Guanshanji.
On the first day of March, the enemy troops gathered again, with reinforcements of 80,000 troops, and the Red Ling Legion, led by General Feng Xianchu of the Yi Kingdom, swept in.
We defended Guanshanji. Five days later, our army ran out of ammunition and food, and Guanshanji fell!
General Fei led the remaining troops to **** the eldest prince out of Guanshanji and returned to Shilipo again.
The next day, the Ministry of War sent twenty-five red cannons.
The enemy launched an attack on Shilipo, and our army used the red cannon for the first time.
Its power is like the wrath of heaven, and its sound is like the roar of a dragon!
The cannonball fell into the enemy camp and exploded. Numerous war horses were seen in panic. The enemy army seemed to be bombing the camp and the formation was in chaos. General Fei attacked again. The enemy army was defeated. However, our army's strength could not be sustained and it was not exhausted. With full success, the two sides faced off again at Shilipo.
On the eighth day of March, the enemy attacked again. They stuffed the ears of the war horses with cotton. Although our red artillery was still fierce, the number was too small and the number of kills was limited. By the tenth day of March, Shilipo fell. .
Our army retreated to Lanling City.
On the third day of March, His Majesty mobilized 150,000 troops of the southern frontier army to march towards Lanling.
……
We lost in the end.
Fu Xiaoguan put down the letter, rolled up the car window, and then picked up another secret report.
This tip comes from Xishan Express.
The consequences of the snowstorm in Shanxi Province were extremely serious. By February 20, more than 10,000 people in Yongning Prefecture alone had died of freezing and starvation. Gong Shengchang of Pingling Mountain took this opportunity to lead more than 50,000 Tiandao troops to raid Yongning City, the capital of Yongning Prefecture.
Yongning City only launched a little resistance, but the city gate was opened by the garrison.
According to the investigation, both the magistrate of Yongning Prefecture and the city guard of Yongning City were members of the Shi clan.
After the palace chief entered the city, 50,000 Tiandao troops looted the city for three days. Only when the Xincheng border troops arrived did Shi Shiran leave.
Also going with them were the 10,000 garrison troops of Yongning City, who joined the rebels.
Zhigong Shenchang returned to the mountain again, and 30,000 more refugees followed him!
The palace in the north is long and tall, its horses come from a barren country, and its soldiers and armor are no different from those of the frontier army. It is feared that it will become a climate. The young master's trip to the north is extremely dangerous and must not be feasible!
What the hell!
Fu Xiaoguan took a deep breath. The war in the east was at a stalemate. Even if the 150,000 troops from the southern frontier rushed to support them, they would only be able to conquer the lost territory and defeat Ximayuan... This is simply not possible. impossible!
It's not that the Yu Dynasty's army is not good at fighting, but that Fu Xiaoguan is very aware of the current situation of the Yu Dynasty.
The defeat of the eldest prince was not a matter of strategy. There were two main reasons.
Firstly, it was his first time to take charge of the Eastern Frontier Army. Even though he controlled the Eastern Frontier Army through his former chess piece Jiang Gaoyuan, he didn't know what his sergeants were like.
It is a taboo to be in charge of an army without knowing the generals!
The second is the huge shortage of strategic materials in the eastern frontier army. Even if Dong Kangping responded in time, there was still insufficient supply.
Many soldiers don't even have armor or even weapons. How can we fight this battle?
The only hope now is that Yu Wentian is not that stupid. If he can use the red cannon for city defense, Lanling City will not fall.
As long as Lanling City can be guarded, it will be impossible for the Yi Kingdom to herd horses in Lanling. As long as the red cannon can be equipped with hundreds of cannons, the Yi country can be intimidated and the east can be stable.
The east side is a foregone conclusion, and he is more concerned about the north side now.
Gong Shengchang obviously got the support of the Huangren. What he lacked was money and food, but the remnants of the Ningzhou Shi clan solved this big problem for him. With so many refugees joining, there was no need for the Huangren to fight in the north. The northern frontier army had no time to take care of itself - Huangren was outside Yanshan Pass, but Gong Shengchang was inside the pass!
If Gong Shenchang is not destroyed, let alone opening a workshop in Pingling County, Quyi, even passing by that place will be extremely dangerous!
Fu Xiaoguan thought for a long time and wrote a letter to Bai Yulian and another letter to Qin Chengye.
It is imperative to suppress bandits!
But the bandits cannot be suppressed blindly. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your weapons. Two thousand special forces must crush tens of thousands of bandits in all aspects, otherwise it will be like using an egg to hit a stone.
In his letter to Qin Chengye, he described how to make telescopes, the principles and methods of hot air balloons, and even mentioned some extremely lethal bombs.
Finally, he wrote a letter to Wang Er, explaining where Fu Yiyi had been placed, and once again talked about the training of Fu Yidai in detail.
This is his foundation as a landowner, and it is also the key to the country being able to relieve its tension.
Food is the most important thing for the people. Only by solving the problem of food can the world be stable!
