Chapter 483: Reinforcements Qu Yicheng (Sixth Shift)
According to the information obtained, the northern troops led by Pan Wenfei were only five hours earlier than them, how could they be completely wiped out in such a short period of time? So, what kind of terrible enemy are they facing?
While the two support armies were analyzing the battle situation, the six auxiliary battalions that had slept well in advance went out of the city.
After yesterday's victory, Yang Chendong intended to improve the combat effectiveness of the auxiliary troops, but this time he did not send the most elite Leng Feng out of battle. But even with three auxiliary battalions in each direction, with only more than a thousand people, it is far from being a two-way reinforcement.
When three auxiliary battalions on each side suddenly appeared, the two thousand reinforcements sent by Ji Xu and Long Bian first symbolically resisted for a while. When they found that the advanced muskets in the hands of the auxiliary battalion could inflict a large area of long-range damage on them without waiting for them to engage the enemy, they finally saw the strength of their opponents clearly when they saw the soldiers sent to the front army fall to the ground one by one with the sound of gunfire. Under this kind of powerful firearm, which can take his life from a distance of three or four hundred meters, such an opponent is really terrifying.
"Run!"
There was no wonderful melee combat, and they didn't even have the heart to try to fight, and the two thousand Jiaozhi reinforcements turned around and fled, leaving behind about 700 corpses along the way, which was because they fled fast enough, and once they really wanted to fight to the death, I am afraid that these two thousand people would also face the danger of annihilation.
As a result, the scale of Kyokan has become even larger. Although it seemed that the Jingguan was very terrifying, the people in Quyi City did feel extremely peaceful. With the protection of such a powerful army, their original fear of revenge from the Cochin Army could finally be fully realized.
Two battles in a row, although not intense, the results are gratifying. After the two wars, Yang Chendong made the decision to further penetrate into the inner realm of Jiaozhi. In order to protect the people of Quyi City, who had been captured, and in order to better consolidate the hearts of the people and prepare for the occupation of the entire Jiaozhi, Song Zhe, the political commissar of the auxiliary corps, was left behind.
The task given to him by Yang Chendong is to convince these Han and Jiaozhi people as quickly as possible, once the day when the entire Jiaozhi is captured, it is time to use them. At the same time, there were two auxiliary battalions and two temporary auxiliary battalions, and with these military strengths, even if the enemy came several times to defend the city, it was enough.
After arranging everything in the city, Yang Chendong took the three battalions of the Leng Feng Second Regiment, six auxiliary battalions, and fourteen temporary auxiliary battalions, totaling more than 7,000 people, to go straight to Beidai City in the direction from which Pan Wenfei came.
At this time, the North Belt City opposite Quyi City has changed hands. When Leng Feng's battalion commander Chen Bo suddenly appeared under the Beidai City, which was still open, with the second battalion and two auxiliary battalions, the Beidai City, which was no longer defended by the army, was swallowed in an instant, and about 40,000 people in the city only fled less than 2,000 people, and the other more than 3,800 people (including 3,000 Han people) were all locked up in the city.
Chen Bo's appearance was like a divine soldier descending from heaven, closing the houses of the people in the city, everyone's faces changed color, and the originally lively city became much more empty on the streets in an instant, as cold and deserted as a dead city.
For the people of Jiaozhi to stay closed, Chen Bo did not choose to search from house to house as if he was in Quyi City, but first sent a battalion of auxiliaries to occupy the city tower, and a company of soldiers was sent above each city gate. Then he sent people to blockade the treasury of the northern castle, and obtained a large amount of food and a small amount of gold and silver from it.
After having enough food, Chen Bo ordered the remaining auxiliary battalions to start patrolling and walking the streets to maintain law and order in the city. The only remaining Cold Front Battalion became a mobile force to prevent a large-scale mutiny in the city.
This is also a matter of no way, there are only twelve companies of 1,200 people in his hands, and it is indeed necessary to stabilize the stability of the city of nearly 40,000 people, and he is a newcomer, and he still needs to be on guard against enemies that may appear at any time, and the troops are really a little stretched, if he didn't know that the sixth young master would soon bring a large group of people to arrive here, I am afraid that he would have to think about leaving after robbing the treasury in the city.
The 2,000 people who fled from Cochin, through their mouths, the news about the fall of the northern city was quickly spread, and two hundred miles behind them was the capital of Cochin, Hanoi City, when the news reached here, it immediately led to a chaotic situation in the city, if it were not for the 30,000 horses and horses of Jiaozhi who were stationed here, I am afraid that no one would know what would happen.
Cochin Palace.
King Li Li also got the news, and he looked incredulous, but at the same time he was puzzled.
Not only did King Li Li not figure it out, but even the civil and military courtiers who were urgently summoned were all confused, why did the northern belt city change hands without a little warning? Why is there no basic warning and resistance? What did Pan Wenfei, the general who defended the city, eat there?
Fortunately, Prime Minister Ruan Xuan Cheng, who arrived at the end, gave the answer and said that Pan Wenfei was sincere in his meritorious service and took away all the soldiers in the northern belt city to attack Quyi City.
At this time, the matter of placing the Jingguan under Quyi City has not yet been transmitted, and naturally everyone does not know whether Pan Wenfei is dead or alive. But it is a fact that the city of Beidai has been lost, and with this, King Lili, who is on the throne, vented his anger and said: "Pan Wenfei is a fool, he only knows that he is a fool who does not know how to defend the city, and he is ordered to demote him to the rank of commander of a thousand when the war is over." ”
The sixty-year-old Li Li did not wait to listen to the results of Qu Yicheng and demoted Pan Wenfei first, if General Pan Zhu knew about it, I don't know what kind of mood it would be.
It's just that the North Belt City has changed hands and it has become a fact, and it is useless to punish Pan Van Fei, what is needed now is to take the North Belt City back, otherwise, it will become an existence that can threaten the capital of Hanoi at any time.
"The matter of the northern belt, who is willing to lead troops to solve it?" Sweeping the palace hall with a gaze like a tiger king, especially sweeping around the bodies of several military generals, Li Li asked in a deep voice.
"The last will go." As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man with a seven-foot figure stood up.
This person's eyes were like a moment, and as soon as he stood there, he naturally exuded a terrifying momentum, he was Fan Yuhai, the famous general of Jiaozhi Country.
Fan is the fourth largest surname in the country of Jiaozhi, and originally had a lot of influence in the same country. The main reason for being able to be called a famous general is that when there were frictions between Jiaozhi and the Lancang Kingdom (that is, today's Laos) in the previous times, he played a big role in it, leading the troops to fight with the Lancang army three times, and won three times, which earned him the title of famous general. Fan Yuhai was able to take the initiative to stand up at the first time, which still made King Li Li very pleased. But he did not agree to such a request, in his opinion, the enemy is unknown, not even the number is completely clear, all that can be known is that the opponent is a mercenary, in such an unclear situation, to send a famous general, once defeated, it is a great shock to the military spirit of the entire national army.
Instead of agreeing to Fan Yuhai's request, Li Li set his sights on another general named Huang Hua. In contrast, this person is shorter in height, but he has also led troops to fight against Lancang, although there are no outstanding victories, but he has also been on the battlefield and seen blood.
"General Huang Hua, this king ordered you to lead 5,000 troops to Beidai City, are you willing to take the order?"
Although it is a question sentence, anyone can see that if Huang Hua dares to disagree, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat next.
"The minister is willing to take the order." How could Huang Hua not see the king's intentions, although he himself was not willing to take on this errand, but even if he was named, he had no choice.
"Very good, you can lead the troops with peace of mind, the intelligence says that the number of mercenaries is not more than 10,000, and the Lang Son area should be its main force, and there should not be many enemies you have to face." Li Li comforted Huang Hua with words. After the words fell, he turned his eyes to Prime Minister Ruan Xuan Cheng and said: "And send someone to tell Chen Heijin and General Ruan Gengwang, so that they can fight quickly to show our military might." ”
"The minister commands." Ruan Chuncheng bowed and agreed. He could already see the king's displeasure. He decided to send his cronies to find Ruan Gengwang immediately, so that he must have a better performance, otherwise, I am afraid that the Ruan family will not be able to ask for too many benefits in the future.
......
The vast and vast Lang Mountain. At this time, a chaotic chase was staged.
Ruan Gengwang led 30,000 troops, and Chen Heijin also led 30,000 troops, but what they faced was only a cold front battalion under Wu Sheng, and two auxiliary battalions totaled 1,200 people.
60,000 against 1,200 people, 50 to 1 troops, the result seems to be a certainty. But in fact, on the contrary, in the pursuit battle of more than ten days, it was the Jiaozhi army with the superior strength that suffered heavy losses.
After the special training of the rainforest, the cold fronts got a large amount of ammunition when they were separated from Yang Chendong's main force, especially the number of mines on each person, which was a full ten, and the battalion commander Wusheng, as the leader, fully gave the officers below the authority to allow each battalion to attack separately in squads, and a squad would be divided into two units, and the squad leader and deputy squad leader each led a team, which was equivalent to dividing two hundred and forty units at once.
Just think about it, in the process of pursuit, you have to face more than 200 units at any time, and I am afraid that anyone will feel unbearable. It's like being in the middle of a rainforest, and there will be a bang at some point, needless to say, it is caused by the chasing soldiers behind him stepping on an ambush mine.
If you can't understand the code of communication between the cold fronts, you can't know exactly where there might be mines. In the rainforest, the terrain is steep and the terrain is complex, and it can be used everywhere as a good place to ambush mines.
