Lord of the House

Vol 10 Chapter 95: Dilemma

The news of Luo Wenhu's defeat and Huangtian Village's loss was sent back to Yuling Pass by the collapsed soldiers. When Xie Chaozhong knew about this, he was planning to relocate the 20,000 troops of the Royal Battalion to the south. How could he expect such a sudden change? Now, like being struck by lightning, he was stunned for a long time and did not recover.

The generals and officials in Yulingguan City were also in chaos. Some proposed to send troops to retake Huangtian Village, some proposed to send envoys back to Jiangning for rescue, and some proposed to send people over the mountains to Yuyan to contact Deng Yu. Mixed, indifferent is one, noisy for a long time without an accurate idea.

"I think it's better to send someone to Huangtian Village to find out the situation before making a decision?" Liu Zhi said.

Compared with many generals of the Royal Camp Army, Liu Zhi accompanied Hao Zongcheng in the Jizhen Army for many years to supervise the battle. He also served as the deputy envoy of Guanjun Rong of the Jiangdong Zuo Army. He has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs running. In terms of knowledge, he is not the Royal Camp Army. The generals who came from these dude sons can compare. Everyone was in a mess, but he was calmer, knowing that before he knew the situation, he might make a wrong decision.

Xie Chaozhong was born in Menwuju and has served in the Beijing camp for a long time. If he is successful, it is also in the eight or nine years of Chongguan. Yanhu broke through the border and accumulated some military exploits. In terms of knowledge and the means of governing the army, it is really not comparable. How clever is Liu Zhi, a layman.

Liu Zhi thought that the military envoy was in charge of the army, and he was under Xie Chaozhong, and only under Xie Chaozhong. The rebels who came back will be detained and examined one by one; in Huangtian Village, they will send scouts to explore the horses; what is going on in Feihuang and Yu Shiyan, they will also be sent to investigate clearly... If you are in a panic, what kind of leadership is it? "

The coach calmed down, and the generals below had their own minds.

Xie Chaozhong gave this order, and some people immediately stood up and acted according to the order, but some generals asked hesitantly, "Did you send someone to Jiangning to let you know, if you need help, Jiangning should make preparations in advance?"

Xie Chaozhong's face sank, but he hesitated. Deng Yu led the Anhui Southern Army in three battles and three victories, and Huangtian Village was thrown into the hands of the Yuying Army in a blink of an eye. If this news was transmitted back to Jiangning, it would not be for Chen Xiyan and others to find them. To the handle to attack him and the imperial army?

"Let's figure it out first, and then send someone to Jiangning to report the letter. I was shocked. Can Jiangning know what happened here?" Xie Chaozhong said unhappily, and all the generals agreed.

Although Liu Zhi was also panicked in his heart, he knew that if something happened, he had to deceive him first. Even if he wanted to inform Jiang Ning, he had to wait until Huangtian Village was taken back, so that the merits and demerits could be balanced out, leaving Jiangning speechless, otherwise all the credit would be lost. Not to mention, I have to be beaten by Jiang Ning first.

*************

Huangtian Village is also close to Yuling Pass, with more than 30 miles of mountain road. Before dark, the situation of Huangtian Village's fall was generally clear, and the people sent by Deng Yu also entered Yuling Pass.

The remnant enemies of Zhejiang and Fujian hid in the deep valleys, and took advantage of the heavy rain to make a surprise attack, defeating the imperial battalion that Luo Wenhu personally led to clear the past, and took advantage of the chaos to seize Huangtian Village. Afterwards, thousands of rudimentary enemies entered Huangtian Village. At this time, the enemy troops occupying Huangtian Village were a little over 2,000.

Deng Yu's troops and Luo Wenhu's remnants of the 4,000 imperial battalions were all safe and sound in the lower valley of Daqingxi. Although Luo Wenhu's defeat was too ugly, the situation was not too bad - as long as the more than 2,000 remaining enemies who were defending Huangtian Village were wiped out, Things get everything back on track.

Xie Chaozhong immediately decided to transfer half of the troops from Yuling Pass, attacked with the Huinan Army back and forth, and recaptured Huangtian Village.

*************

At night on the 16th, it started to rain again. It was not raining much. In Tongziwu, the armor worn by Shewenzhuang had been soaked by the rain. He rode on a blue-black horse and stood on the high platform. The lanterns together illuminated his skinny face and the blue-black handsome flag behind him, allowing the nearly 10,000 generals in the audience to see it clearly.

Shewenzhuang stared at the soldiers who were silent as mountains in the night, and said loudly: "In the past few years, Zhejiang and Fujian athletes have sacrificed a lot, thousands of skeletons have been piled under the gate, and they have not been able to capture Yuling Pass. Alas! For the past two months, I have been in western Zhejiang, and I didn't let you know. I was trying to hide from the enemy, and I was trying to lure the enemy out of Yuling Pass to close the door and beat the dogs. I will stand up now and tell you how many times in the past. The Huinan army who prevented our Zhejiang and Fujian athletes from crossing Huaiyu Mountain in 2008 has already lured them into the Daqingxi River Valley. Behind them, our Zhejiang and Fujian brave general Zheng Mingjing personally led two thousand dead soldiers to block the Huinan army fleeing back to Huizhou. Kouzi, now, we, me and the ten thousand Zhejiang and Fujian Jianyong who are standing in the audience today are going to bravely eat the entire Anhui Southern Army and wipe out the last one!"

"...In the past few months, everyone was worried when they saw Nanyue's continuous increase of troops to Huizhou. Let me tell you, just last night, the 3,000 soldiers of the imperial army beat me to four hundred soldiers from Zhejiang and Fujian. The pigs, horses, sheep and horses are in a mess, and they are vulnerable, are you still afraid that there will be more enemy soldiers ahead than us?" She Wenzhuang's voice echoed on the school grounds, and the morale of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops in the past few months has been demoralized. Raised up.

Although Shewenzhuang has rarely led troops directly in recent years, and focused on cultivating successors She Feixiong and She Feihu, he is still a dazzling legend in the minds of generals in the Zhejiang and Fujian Army. Motivation is high.

Deng Yu could not be allowed to calmly transfer his troops and horses back to Dahuangtian Village. She Wenzhuang could not wait for the troops and horses behind to transfer them, so he decided to lead the more than 10,000 troops and horses assembled in Tongziwu to attack Yuyan first, to contain the main force of the southern Huinan army. Downstream of Daqingxi, to relieve the pressure on Zheng Mingjing in Huangtian Village.

More than ten thousand generals raised their arms and shouted loudly, like a howling sea wave, covering up Jiang Tao, who was pounding the shore.

Tian Chang is also in a good mood. At this moment, he can finally see all the possibilities of annihilating the southern Huizhou army, capturing Huizhou, and threatening Jiangning... Whether the battle is good or not will be directly related to whether the Zhejiang and Fujian troops can turn around in the first battle.

Over the years, Huaidong has been suppressed and beaten everywhere. Even though She Feixiong led his troops into Jiangxi after the year and fought well, it failed to alleviate the fundamental crisis on the Eastern Front. Not excited?

If Jiangning can be conquered, Jiangzhou can be successfully captured, and Jiangxi, Fujianxi, Zhejiangxi, Jiangning, and Huizhou will be connected together, and even in the face of Huaidong, they will have an absolute advantage in terrain—how can Tian Chang not be excited?

Shewenzhuang personally issued the order to march, and in the continuous autumn rain, more than ten thousand soldiers put away their shouts, silent like the rocks by the river, and walked out of Tongziwu in a row, heading towards Yuyan. At the same time, Kuaiqi, carrying the order letter drawn up by Shewenzhuang himself, galloped quickly in the dark to dispatch troops to all parties.

Chun'an is adjacent to Tonglu in the east. To block the opening of the Hanghu Army along the west of Qianjiang, Chun'an must deploy a certain number of troops and horses in case of an emergency.

Tonglu had no choice but to defend. Not only could the Hanghu army pour in, but also Huaidong's troops in Shengzhou and Xiaoshan. In eastern Zhejiang, Huaidong can gather up to 30,000 elites, and if Shewenzhuang is killed, 30,000 elites from Huaidong cannot be allowed to enter western Zhejiang from Tonglu to disrupt the situation.

Tonglu must be strictly guarded. Even if Tonglu is unfortunately lost, Chun'an is the last line of defense. It doesn't take a day to travel from Chun'an to Tongziwu.

Wuyuan's troops have been transferred to Shewenzhuang, but more than 12,000 troops have been assembled in Tongziwu. Although they are all elite, such troops are still seriously insufficient.

The fastest way at the moment is to transfer troops from Quzhou and Dongyang County. Dongyang County's troops and horses descend along the Lanxi River, and can quickly enter the south of Chun'an. Follow along the Lanxi River and come in.

Even if Shewenzhuang had the intention to treat Dongyang County as an abandoned child, it would be only after the Yuling Pass was captured and the Huizhou gap was completely opened, so that it would be possible to grab a faster speed than the Huaidong Army.

****************

Deng Yu didn't know until noon on the 17th that the troops and horses of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army in western Zhejiang were in charge of Shewenzhuang himself. This is downright a lure set up by the luxury luxury house.

At this time, Shewenzhuang personally led more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops to approach Yuyan Village. In terms of military strength, the Anhui Southern Army was slightly better than Yuyan, but the morale rose and fell, and the fall of Huangtian Village was a huge challenge. The Huinan Army had a heavy blow from top to bottom, and the superiority of its troops became very unreliable.

The choice in front of Deng Yu suddenly became cruel and difficult to choose:

Concentrate the troops on Yuyan, and fight with the Zhejiang and Fujian troops in the lower valley of Daqingxi. Deploying elite soldiers and strong generals to try to retake Huangtian Village before ten days—both options have advantages and disadvantages, making it difficult for Deng Yu to choose.

"The military's heart is unstable, and it will be very disadvantageous to go out of Yuyan to fight Zhejiang and Fujian." Xing Changhe said, he advocated retaking Huangtian Village first.

"General urge can hold Yuyan at this time, but the troops of Zhejiang and Fujian troops in central Zhejiang will be able to cross the Qianjiang River north in only three or five days at the earliest. The enemy troops pressing north of Yuyan will gather more and more. After five days of delay, we will not be able to successfully retake Huangtian Village, and we will also lose the opportunity to fight the Zhejiang-Fujian Army in the lower reaches of the Daqingxi River Valley!" Another veteran Song Qiushu advocated a desperate fight, as long as the more than 10,000 Zhejiang troops gathered in front of Yuyan were defeated. The Fujian army was defeated and defeated, and the enemy army who made a surprise attack on Huangtian Village was suffering from scabies.

"Huangtian Village was lost by the Royal Camp Army, and it is also the responsibility of the Royal Camp Army to take it back. Xie Chaozhong still has 30,000 soldiers and horses at Yuling Pass, how can he be able to use it?"

The choice before Deng Yu was too difficult: can he trust the imperial army led by Xie Chaozhong and Luo Wenhu? Even if the troops gather in Yuyan and fight against the Zhejiang and Fujian troops, unless the Zhejiang and Fujian troops are completely defeated, if the Zhejiang and Fujian troops are forced to retreat to Tongziwu, it will eventually be a situation of advance and retreat!

She Wenzhuang personally led his troops to come up, not in the mind of a hasty decisive battle, but the main intention was to contain the main force of the Anhui Southern Army in Yuyan, as long as it took three or five days to drag it to the Zhejiang-Fujian Army in Daqingxi Only when the troops in the lower river valley have an absolute advantage will they deliver the most severe and unforgiving blow.

The actual situation did not allow Deng Yu to make a choice. Xie Chaozhong sent his army to seize Huangtian Village. Three thousand soldiers and horses went first. When they approached Huangtian Village, they gave the defenders of Huangtian Village a big defeat. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
