Turbulent Times Chapter 1610: Li Shimin disappeared
Fifteen years of great cause, January 13th.
When Hou Junji, the general guard of Longguan, had only three days left to use the grain and grass, before the morale of the army collapsed, without Li Yuan's consent, he left 3,000 people to guard Longguan, and led a main force of 30,000 decisively from Longguan. Guan evacuated, and went straight to the main force of the special forces who were still stuck in the black air outlet.
Although Hou Junji secretly evacuated Longguan at night, he was discovered immediately by the spies of the Military Intelligence Office, and he was sent to Zhang Tiangang at Heifengkou and Shangguanhu, Zhou Hu, and Jiang Mulang outside Longguan at the fastest speed. superior.
Shangguan Hu, Zhou Hu, and Jiang Mulang immediately made fierce efforts. It took a day and a night, and they lost nearly ten thousand people. They killed more than half of the three thousand troops left by Hou Junji. People no longer had the will to fight, and fled directly from the other side. Shangguanhu and others entered Longguan and finally occupied Longguan.
However, Zhang Tiangang led 3,000 special forces to block the black wind for more than a month, repelled more than a dozen waves of Li's army from Longguan and Chencang counties, and killed nearly 30,000 enemy troops. They made illustrious military exploits, but they also suffered heavy losses, with only a thousand or so left of the three thousand men.
It can be said that since the establishment of the special forces, this is the heaviest loss. In fact, the special forces were not used in this way. This time, Zhang Tiangang used his troops as infantry.
Therefore, Zhang Tiangang knew that in the face of Hou Junji leading the main force of Longguan to attack, even if he consumed all the remaining thousand people here, he would not be able to defend the Heifengkou.
What's more, the purpose of blocking the Heifengkou before was to cut off the supply route of the Li family army in Longguan, and the ultimate goal was to help Shangguanhu and the others seize Longguan. Now that their goal has been achieved, why should they stay with the army led by Hou Junji? More than 30,000 people died.
So, before Hou Junji's army pounced on him, Zhang Tiangang took the remaining thousand or so Special Forces soldiers to evacuate voluntarily.
After Hou Junji easily occupied Heifengkou, his expression was not good. He hated the special forces led by Zhang Tiangang these days.
For this reason, Hou Junji even sent two troops to cross the mountains from both sides, and went around to the other side of Heifengkou in order to outflank the special forces team led by Zhang Tiangang.
It's a pity that the experts of the special forces team led by Zhang Tiangang slipped too fast in this forest, and the people sent by Hou Junji didn't even mention the siege, but they didn't even see a single person.
However, Hou Junji is worthy of being a famous general who has been passed down through the ages, and his decisive actions were unexpected. He did not lead the army to retreat to Chencang County, but stopped at Heifengkou and did not leave.
Moreover, he not only controlled the road at a simple bayonet like Zhang Tiangang, but also sent people to mobilize a large number of craftsmen and laborers from Chencang County, and began to build a large number of construction projects at Heifengkou to build the military pass.
With the terrain of Heifengkou, if a pass is built, it will inevitably become the second Longguan in time.
Shangguan Hu, Zhou Hu, and Jiang Mulang are not easy people. Naturally, they have seen through the strong relationship among them. One hundred thousand horses came to attack Heifengkou.
The two sides fought for half a month, the Far East Army lost nearly 10,000 people, and Hou Junji's side also lost nearly 10,000 people.
Hou Junji is a decisive and ruthless lord. In the past half a month, he has driven tens of thousands of people to rush to repair Heifengzhai. , He insisted that the Heifengzhai was almost repaired.
Shangguan Hu and Zhou Hu saw that it was difficult to capture Heifengkou in a short time, and attacking the opponent in this terrain was too disadvantageous in terrain, so they had to withdraw to Longguan temporarily.
At this point, the war between the Far Eastern Army and the Li Family Army in the west also came to an end, and finally Longguan and Heifengguan faced each other far away, forming a confrontation and ending the curtain.
……
……
On the eastern battlefield, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing, Lu Han, and Guan Xiaotong discovered that the ten-kill village and other six army villages were being more and more lax in defense until one day, they suddenly captured the ten-kill village and the six army villages. After entering the village, it was discovered that the number of Li family troops in these seven military villages was far less than the number in the previous intelligence.
Li Shimin never appeared again.
"The combined strength of the other five military villages is less than 3,000, while the ten killing village has only 3,000 people. The total is 6,000. According to the previous information from the Military Intelligence Office, after Li Shimin's defeat last time, there were at least 70,000. Sagittarius, minus this
There were at least 60,000 people killed and wounded while defending the city, that is to say, Li Shimin led more than 50,000 people and had already abandoned seven military strongholds and left quietly. "
In Shisha Village, in the White Tiger Festival Hall where Li Shimin used to discuss matters, the generals of the Far East Army were discussing matters, and at this time it was Guan Xiaotong, the frowning commander of the Iron Hammer Battalion, who was speaking.
Yuchi Jingde frowned tightly, and said: "It seems that because the prince captured Taiyuan City, Li Shimin knew that Hedong was difficult to hold, so he decisively led his troops back to Guanzhong."
"I received news before that Chai Shao, who confronted Wu San in Xinkou County, led 50,000 horses and retreated to Guanzhong." Lu Han nodded and said: "So, Li Yuan really gave up on Hedong. It seems that Next, Li Yuan will shrink his troops and stick to the pass."
After Li Jing pondered for a while, he shook his head and said, "It's not wrong for Li Yuan to shrink his troops and stick to Guanzhong, but Li Shimin may not have retreated to Guanzhong."
Yuchi Jingde was thoughtful, and said: "Junshi Li means that Li Shimin led the army to Luoyang to fight Wang Shichong, and wanted to plot the land of Luoyang?"
Li Jing shook his head and said, "I'm afraid what Li Shimin wants is not Luoyang, but the land of Sichuan and Sichuan."
"The land of Sichuan and Sichuan?" Yuchi Jingde was taken aback, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt more and more that Li Jing's words were very reasonable, "I remember that the news from the Military Intelligence Office mentioned that Li Yuan and his son We have been operating in Sichuan and Shu for several years, and we are fully prepared. If our Far East Army hadn’t suddenly sent troops to attack Hedong, Li Yuan and his son would have already dispatched troops to Sichuan and Shu. Therefore, the military division’s guess is very likely.”
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside, and soon a soldier came in with a messenger from the Military Intelligence Office, who brought a normal intelligence report from the Military Intelligence Office.
Yuchi Jingde is the commander here, after reading the information, he passed the information to Guan Xiaotong next to him, looked at Li Jing with admiration and said: "The military master has a clever plan, then Li Shimin really led the troops to Sichuan and Shu."
"It's a pity that Wang Shichong's Luoyang and Guanzhong are separated from Sichuan and Sichuan. It seems quite troublesome to send troops to chase after them." Guan Xiaotong handed the information to Lu Han with a look of unwillingness and killing intent. The losses in the Ten Killing Village were not small, more than 10,000 people in total, among which Guan Xiaotong's Iron Hammer Battalion suffered the most losses.
Li Jing suddenly laughed and said, "It's not easy for us to take people to Sichuan and Sichuan, but it is possible to go to the Violent Bear Camp and Wagang Camp in the Central Plains."
Yuchi Jingde also smiled and said: "Li Xuanba and Li Shimin are brothers after all, the prince probably won't send them over there, but Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin led the Wagang Camp and have been training for more than half a year according to the method of our Far East Army's training. , now is the time to send troops to Sichuan and Sichuan!"
………
………
Central Plains, Luokou City.
In the evening, White Tiger Festival Hall in Wagang Camp.
Xu Shiji's generals and officers above the captain's command gathered together to hold a battle meeting.
Different from the chaos of the Wagang Army during the Wagang Village period, now the Wagang Camp must strictly follow the "Internal Regulations" and "Training Regulations" of the Far East Army, regardless of its normal management, training, or wartime procedures. Regulations and Combat Regulations are enforced.
Xu Shiji first read Wang Junlin's order from Taiyuan, Hedong, and then asked the resident officials of the Central Military Intelligence Office in Wagang Camp to report the latest information.
"On January 6th, nearly 50,000 whirlwind battalions led by the Wang family and Pei family of Taiyuan, together with the prince, captured Taiyuan City and beheaded more than 20,000 people. Nearly 40,000 people were captured, including Li Jiancheng, the son of Li Yuan, the king of Tang Dynasty. .”
"On January 13th, under the leadership of three generals, Shangguan Hu, Zhou Hu, and Jiang Mulang, the Northwest Battalions of our Far Eastern Army finally captured Longguan after more than two months. Commander Zhang Tiangang of the Special Forces led 3,000 experts of the Special Forces. They cut off the food supply of the Li Family Army in Longguan at the Heifengkou. people, but nearly 2,000 people were killed or injured, which was the biggest loss since the formation of the special operations team. Moreover, after Hou Junji led more than 30,000 people to retreat from Longguan to Heifengkou, he built Heifengguan here, which was also the Easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"On January 14th, the three generals Yuchi Jingde, Lu Han, and Guan Xiaotong of Donglu, as well as the military strategist Li Jing, after defeating Li Shimin half a month ago, finally captured six army fortresses including Shishazhai , but everyone knows that this is Li Shimin's golden cicada's plan to escape, and Li Shimin has led the main force to sneak into Sichuan and Shu."
"Furthermore, after Chai Shao led his men and horses to retreat from Xinkou County, there was no more land in the east of the river
The Li family army who can stop our Far East Army, according to the prince's plan, will occupy all the seven counties in Hedong within a month. "
The official of the Military Intelligence Office has just said this, before he can talk about the rest, the famous hero of the Wagang Camp was ranked twenty-sixth in the Wagang Village before, and he was known as "flying on the grass". Huang Tianhu, the Captain Guoyi of the Wagang Camp, suddenly scolded: "General Xu, General Cheng, and the prince's other battalion leaders have made so many contributions these days. Only Guanzhong and Luoyang are left in the whole north. We can't wait any longer." Now, hurry up and follow the order of the prince, and go to fight Sichuan and Shu. Only by defeating Sichuan and Shu will it be enough for me to share the credit with my brothers, so that I can wait for the prince to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor..."
"Shut up! You won't be allowed to make a lot of noise at the combat meeting. After the meeting, come to me and get your punishment." Sitting in the first seat on Xu Shiji's left, a middle-aged man sitting opposite Cheng Yaojin on the other side General Nian suddenly shouted and interrupted Huang Tianhu's yelling.
Huang Tianhu, who has always had a bad temper, suddenly changed his face when he heard the words, and he dared not speak any more after muttering a few words. unnatural.
The one who stopped Huang Tianhu was a man who looked to be nearly forty years old, with a purple face and a sickly face, as if he rarely saw the sun.
This man's name is Chen Xiaogou, he is from Snake Island, he is the director of the Snake Island training camp in the Central Plains, and he is also the deputy commander of the Military Jurisdiction Department recently implemented by Wang Junlin in the Far East Army.
Chen Xiaogou was trained by Nie Xiaoyu. Anyone who has been trained in the Snake Island Concentration Camp will know him. He is well-known in the Far East Army, even known as the Purple Face Devil.
Chen Xiaogou's name sounds cute, but for the past six months, Cheng Yaojin and Xu Shiji were not responsible for the training of Wagang Camp, but Chen Xiaogou.
In the past half a year, nearly 200 people in the Wagang Camp have been killed by sticks because of serious violations of discipline or disobedience to military orders during the training process. There are thousands of soldiers. No matter how rebellious or powerful a man from Wagangzhai is, he is not afraid of the purple-faced demon Chen Xiaogou.
A while ago, according to the military system reform that Wang Junlin gradually carried out in the Far East Army, the Military Judicial Department was newly established, and Chen Xiaogou also served as the Deputy Commander of the Military Judicial Department. They were closed training for more than half a year, and each of them was going crazy, and they did a lot of outrageous things.
As a result, in just over a month, nearly a hundred officers at all levels of the Wagang Camp fell under Chen Xiaogou's hands.
There are quite a few who were demoted, punished, and punished, including several captains, and even a captain who raped a civilian girl while drunk was directly killed by the military judge.
At that time, both Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin had come forward to intercede for the captain, but Chen Xiaogou pushed them back. It can be said that they didn't give any face.
After experiencing these things, the Wagang Battalion completely shed its original habit of bandits, and truly became a professional army with strict discipline like other battalions of the Far East Army.
This time I went to Sichuan and Sichuan to face Li Shimin. Wang Junlin attached great importance to everything about Li Shimin. Before that, Yuchi Jingde, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Luo Yi and other four people in the east added up to twenty Not to mention, the fact that Li Jing was sent there as a military adviser is proof.
Therefore, Wang Junlin sent an order directly with the flying eagle to let Chen Xiaogou prepare to enter Sichuan with the Wagang camp, and personally supervise the violations of discipline in the Wagang camp and the accounting of the military exploits of the army. With the purple-faced devil following them, the Wagang camp was on its way into Sichuan this time, and there must have been very few violations of military discipline.
After the episode between Huang Tianhu and Chen Xiaogou, the combat meeting continued, and the officials of the Military Intelligence Department continued to report information.
After reporting the latest information received one by one, all the generals and officers of the Wagang camp were full of fighting spirit. Seeing the great achievements of other battalion leaders, they were envious!
In addition, they think that after more than half a year of training, they are now equipped with the weapons and equipment of the Far Eastern Army and all kinds of equipment from head to toe, from the inside to the outside. Quartet, the impulse to put on a good show.
Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin obviously knew this information long ago, and their expressions were as calm as a frozen lake.
But on the other side, Xie Yingdeng knew in his heart that Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin also had a great fighting spirit in their hearts, and they were going to fight with all their strength so that they could make great contributions.
