Chapter 158 The Yellow River Middle Stream-3
After all the rebels left, Zhao Xingdecai sent someone to ask Wang Tongdeng to lead the cavalry to join the camp.
As expected, Wang Tongdeng heard that the rebellion in the regiment camp was caused, and immediately became furious and wanted to lead the cavalry to recover the rebels. However, he was still stopped by Zhao Xingde.
Zhao Xingde's reason is very sufficient. No matter whether the battle in the river is successful or defeated, the energy of Xia's country will be lost by one day. The main brain of the rebellion cannot let go, but most of the soldiers who are in the army are still confused for a while. To quell the rebellion should be thunderous, and to open the net and drive fish in the abyss. After all, the biggest part of the army is the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level. Although many people are lucky enough to release these rebellious soldiers at present, the effect will be exerted when the situation changes in the future. If a person is unwilling to be buried for the rebellion, the rebellion loses a little power. Five hundred people are unwilling to fight for the rebellion, and the rebellion will lose a battalion without fighting. These people will also influence each other, which will make the victory effect of the rebellion army becoming bigger and bigger like a snowball. In the future, the fight may cost a very small price to limit the large number of rebels to collapse.
Wang Tongdeng reluctantly accepted Zhao Xingde's explanation and wrote a letter with him, Jiangufuguo issued a "Absolution Order" to encourage soldiers who were bound by the rebels to abandon the secret and turn to the light.
This storm seemed to be a test for God to Zhao Xingde. After that, the regiment training camp was not encountered similar mutiny. Because the regiment training camp was distributed on the long supply line from Wuhu to Huwen, half a month after Zhao Xingde arrived at Huwen, he only gathered more than 10,000 troops near Huwen. Before he could wait for other regiment training camps to meet Huwen, Zhao Xingde led the army to march towards the hinterland of the river, with the goal directly aiming at the capital of Kangguo. Along the way, new battalions continued to join the army, and the regiment trained troops.
The eagerness to get home made the morale of the long-distance marching high. In terms of quantity and morale, the suppression army is like an iron ball falling back to the ground from a high place. The closer it is to Kangguo, the more powerful its momentum is. Generally speaking, the more people marching, the slower the speed. However, the speed of Huwen Xingying's northward traveling did not slow down with the continuous joining of the new camp team. Under Zhao Xingde's intentional arrangement, this momentum is not only felt by every soldier, but also made the rebels unable to sit still.
At the beginning, the news that Zhao Xingde served as the general manager of Huwen Xingchang was secretly leaked. When Zhao Xingde initially integrated the troops near Huwen City and swore to the north, the Regent Chen Ang was still personally in charge of the commander-in-chief of the city of Dayuan. Kang Hengming, who stayed in Kang Country, did not take this group of mobs seriously, but only let Tiemen Pass Huyanze guard Huyanze not let this group of men pass through the Wuhu Water. Wuhu Water is the natural dividing line between the hinterland of the river and Khurashan. Khurashan is mostly a vast Gobi desert. Due to the water source, Zhao Xingde's troops could only march along the towering Alan Mountains. After passing the Guzhai Juncheng, they began to cross the Shede River Valley that runs through the north and south of the Alan Mountains. The Shede River is a tributary of the Wuhu Water. Tiemen Pass is located on the north bank of the Wuhu Water. After passing Tiemen Pass, it is a fertile land in the river, a prosperous place that has been operated for a century.
The terrain of Tiemen Pass was dangerous. In order to prevent the Gaseni people from going north, military palaces of all dynasties were repaired, which could be regarded as a powerful pass that could not be destroyed by one man.
Hu Yanze, the guard general of the Iron Gate Pass, is also a veteran. He has more than 20,000 people under his command, more than 5,000 of which are children of the Jiu surname of Zhaowu, whom Kang Hengming regards as his confidant.
Kang Hengming expected that Zhao Xingde would not be able to break through the Wuhushui before Chen Ang won the Dayuan City.
On May 15, Zhao Xingde led the troops of the Huwenxing camp to the front of Tiemen Pass. He only sent a few troops to test the reality of the defenders in the past two days, and then remained silent for several days. Hu Yanze also reported to Kang Hengming, saying that Zhao Xingde was timid and asked King Kang to rest assured. However, only nine days later, Huwenxing camp completed all the siege artillery towers outside the Tiemen Pass, set up heavy artillery, and aimed at the head of the city to bombard the shells. The defenders also fired guns back, but regardless of the density of the shells or the accurate head, they were far inferior to those outside the city. Moreover, the angle of the fortifications built by the Huwenxing camp was very tricky. Even if the heavy artillery on the city hit the fortifications, they often could not be penetrated, but bounced out along the slope of the fortifications. Five days after the artillery battle, there was a huge gap in casualties in the city and the defenders of the Ironmen Pass were also
The main force of regiment training was that morale dropped to the extreme. The army outside the city used the gaps in artillery battle to dig trenches and lead to the city wall. On the sixth day, Huwenxing Camp launched a general attack on Tiemen Pass. Zhao Xingde shunned the cannons to suppress the fire guns at the top of the city, and ordered a thousand thunderbolters to find the weakness of the city to climb to the city. These thousand thunderbolters were elites selected from the 50,000 thunderbolters. They all had amazing strength. They could throw thunderbolters onto the city's heads halfway through the city. One thousand thunderbolters concentrated on thunderbolters. The city's heads suddenly became like rain. The defenders behind the battlements couldn't even stand, and were killed and injured by the bomb. The rest ran away with their heads. After the thunderbolters broke through the city wall, they fought in just one day, and Tiemen Pass announced that they had changed hands.
The news of the fall of Tiemen Pass shook the river. After King Yong Chen Ang heard the news, Xingye returned to Kangguo from the city of Dayuan.
The day after the fall of Tiemen Pass, Kang Hengming issued a mobilization order. Zhao Xingde and Huwenxingying were rebels in Xuancheng, recruiting all soldiers and regiments to train troops to form a large army to protect Kang Guo. However, before the Huguo Mansion could respond, many left-behind soldiers in Cangcheng issued a notice, not admitting that Kang Hengming was usurping the name of the five prefectures and demanding that the Yinhu under his jurisdiction should not obey any official commands other than the local sergeants. Cangcheng, the first line of Wuhushui, turned directly to Zhao Xingde, providing food and grass for Huwenxingying. Huwenxingyingying was exhausted for a long-distance march, and was in Wuhushui.
The north bank was briefly rectified, and the infantry expanded to 60,000, and the cavalry led by Wang Tongdeng also expanded to 5,000. After only replenishing the troops, the soldiers headed to the north again. The clouds of a war became increasingly thicker and the north and south were preparing for war, and the various parts of the river calmed down. If Chen Ang won, then the military government would no longer be able to launch a large army to suppress the rebellion in the short term. If Huwenxing Camp won, Chen Ang and others would undoubtedly lose the capital for rebellion immediately. They could only lose their destruction on the way. Everyone's eyes were focused on this battle that decided the master of the river.
In Luoyang, Kanto, there was a sound of drums. In the night, military pigeons flew into the Luoyang Tuanlian Mansion with the news brought from the distant river.
There were two large flags at the gate of the regiment commander's mansion, one was the Kanto regiment flag, and the other was the tiger-winged military flag with two wings on the other. After Chen Ang made a rebellion, the military government immediately declared him a rebellion and rarely appointed Prince Chen Chong as the new commander of the Tiger-winged Army. Although Chen Chong directly commanded only more than a hundred cavalry of the Tiger-winged Army, he could nominally command 5,000 tiger-winged cavalry, and the tiger-winged cavalry who really followed Chen Ang to cause rebellion was only about two thousand.
The pigeon had just stopped on the loft platform, and someone immediately untied a feather tube from the pigeon feather and copied the small words written in special secret onto thin paper.
Chen Chong took out the general's book from the black clip, glanced over, Jin's frown suddenly let go a little. He closed the book, paced back and forth several times in the room, stopped, pushed the door out, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare the horse, go to Dongdaying!" After a while, Chen Chong rushed out of the Tuanjian Mansion surrounded by the guards of the thirty cavalry and tiger wings.
A group of people drove straight to the east camp of Luoyang City. The general Wu Jie, the Guandong camp of Xia Kingdom, was stationed. After reporting, he went straight to Wu Jie's tent. Wu Jie was already wearing armor with a tired look on his face.
Hezhong is the foundation of the Xia Kingdom. Many of the elite soldiers and generals who followed the founding emperor to the west were left in Hezhong. For more than a hundred years, Hezhong had almost always fought. The Anxi Army Office had frequent wars as much as the Anbei Army Office, and the wealth in Hezhong was not inferior to Guanzhong. If Chen Ang and others really occupied Hezhong, they would have the capital to win the throne of Xia Kingdom. Emperor Yuande was besieged by Dayuan City, which put Chen Chong under tremendous pressure. Guanzhong Korean Gong and Andong Army Office Quduan
His attitude was ambiguous and unclear, as if he was waiting for success or failure. The Guardian Mansion and many nobles loyal to Chen Chong urged Chen Chong and Wu Jie to send troops to the king immediately, first settle down, and even recruited troops from Guanzhong to expedition to the River. However, under the huge pressure inside and outside, Chen Chong unexpectedly stopped moving his troops. He just stepped up the training of troops and frequently sent envoys to Guandong to stabilize the important civil and military officials in Guanzhong. Wu Jie always felt that he seemed to be waiting for something.
"Come down to visit," Wu Jie said, "Is there news about the battle situation in the river?"
Chen nodded, said nothing, and handed the military newspaper directly to Wu Jie.
"Hu Wenxing Camp seized the Iron Gate Pass!" Wu Jie exclaimed at the sight, "Zhao Xingde is really a good general!" He closed the military newspaper and sighed, "No one will talk about it again this time!"
In the view of the military government, Zhao Xingde's achievements in Kanto were always a bit humble, but the fact that the tyrants who ruled the mobs to seize the Iron Gate Pass was a real great achievement that no one could deny.
"That is, if we can defeat this next battle, the river will stabilize!" Chen said with a close eye, "Just wait for the result of this next battle, the rope tied to our heads will relax."
Under the reflection of the candlelight, Chen Chong's eyes shone. Wu Jie pondered for a moment and suggested: "This news should be released immediately to stabilize the morale of the army."
The Kanto camp and Luoyang regiment trained a total of 150,000 troops, which is of great importance under the current situation. If this team is used in Kanto, it can immediately stop the Liao cavalry from sweeping against the Song State, avoid the recurrence of the Jingkang Nian war in Kanto, and directly expand the territory of Xia State in Kanto. If this team returns to Guanzhong, it will be difficult for Han Gong and Quduan to resist. However, the problem is that whether it is Kanto or Kanto, Chen Chong and Wu Jie can only have one direction, otherwise they will fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. With the great territory of Xia State, they dare not try to fight at the same time on both sides of the east and west, and the small land of Kanto Luoyang is even more unbearable.
For this reason, Chen Chongcai had never understood the situation. When the sword in the Kantong Camp was in the scabbard, it was more intimidating than when it was pulled out.
