Devil’s Advent

Guo Dong and Xu An became one of the pawns;

One is because of the Battle of Dongshan Fort, Uncle Zheng inserted his flag there, and his chariot pushed forward. Although the Chu army was defeated after a long and fierce battle, the casualties and losses were also very large;

Of course, the above is not the main reason. The real reason is that the expansion of the Yuanxue Navy is also beginning with batches of high-quality soldiers intercepted from the rear by Jin Shuke and Blind.

It can be regarded as a kind of reward for meritorious deeds. The old soldier becomes the captain of the army, the chief of the army becomes the chief of the army, the chief of the army becomes the chief of the centurion, and the chief of the centurion becomes the captain of the school.

In the era of cold weapons, it is impossible to achieve the 30,000 and 500,000 records of the first Zhenbeihou a hundred years ago. Therefore, the old soldiers died in battle, and the new soldiers supplemented. It is also a necessity.

The combat effectiveness on paper alone will inevitably decrease, but this is a pain that must be experienced.

It's not just Xue Haijun who is like this. In fact, the Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army have fought so many fierce battles in the past few years. It is actually very serious for their old soldiers to replace them with new ones.

Therefore, under this inevitable condition, the reputation of an army will be extremely important.

Even in later generations, the Company of Heroes, Company of Steel and Company of Tigers will still be preserved, because an army with a glorious record and a historical heritage can quickly give new soldiers a sense of pride and belonging, and these, in On the battlefield, it will be transformed into... courage.

Courage can make up for the lack of equestrian skills, and can make up for the lack of experience to a certain extent. It is like a halo. It has no specific effect, but it can make you stronger than before.

The Zhenbei Army is an army with a legacy. Before Jingnan Hou showed his talents, the Dayan Iron Cavalry was the best in the world, and the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry was the best in the Dayan. This is a recognized evaluation.

Therefore, it is precisely for this reason that the leader of the savages who once accompanied the savage king to practice in Beifeng County, when he saw the cavalry of the Yan Army appearing to report his family, he would deliberately say the sequence of auxiliary soldiers he originally belonged to in Beifeng County .

As for Xue Haijun, half relied on his invincibility since he became an army, and the other half relied on Uncle Hirano's personal prestige.

In the past few years, Uncle Hirano has hardly been absent from the battles commanded by King Jingnan;

Because King Jingnan destroyed his whole family, he was deliberately forgotten by the people, and everyone tacitly did not mention it. Therefore, a large part of the glory was transferred to Uncle Hirano.

The head of Guizhou rises, civilian husbands stand up, make meritorious deeds, and military merits are knighted;

Coupled with the personal heroism of grabbing the princess,

Let Hirano Uncle have an unimaginable attraction in the auxiliary barracks.

When Blind Man and Jin Shu Ke were intercepting the flow at the rear, the auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands heard that Uncle Hirano was recruiting troops, so they swarmed over, almost crushing their heads.

Guo Dong and Xu An were originally auxiliary soldiers, but now they have also become main soldiers.

However, I don't know whether it was lucky or unlucky, they entered the town led by Jinshuke, and the town of Jinshuke was mobilized to cooperate with Gou Moli's first town and began to march westward.

Along with them were the Gong Wang Department and the Gongsun Zhi Department.

In other words, after the start of the war against Chu, the Eastern Army, which had done the most meritorious service and had the most outstanding performance, was transferred away most of the elite, and none of the three main generals left. In this case, Although the remaining troops of the Eastern Front Army are still quite large, they are no longer suitable for any targeted combat missions. When the Battle of Chu Chu enters a new stage, they will serve as the rear of the army, unless they encounter a real enemy. In an emergency, such as the extreme situation where the front is destroyed, the Eastern Front will hardly participate in the war anymore, but will start to maintain logistical stability with peace of mind.

The mobilization of the Eastern Army was concealed in a new round of mobilization of the entire army against Chu. Because of the strategic contraction of the Chu people, the Yan army hardly spent any effort to clean up the remaining army camps and fortresses. The garrison and configuration of soldiers and horses need to be re-arranged.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, under the command of King Jingnan, everything seemed to be in order, but the folks in the rear were busy again during this period.

New camp, new settlement, new paving,

And there is a high probability that they will not be used but still have to build various siege equipment to confuse the Chu people,

You know, this is the battlefield,

Those who didn't know, thought that Jindong was carrying out large-scale production and construction.

On the other side of the Chu people, they are also adjusting the layout, relying on Zhennanguan, and starting to deploy a new line of defense.

A new round of military confrontation between the two countries is about to begin.

Uncle Zheng was not in a hurry to join the large army, but was using the papers stamped with the king's seal to draw five thousand elite troops from various generals, and then directly led the team that had just been pieced together , heading west.

Most of the soldiers are confused, not sure which game this is playing?

They are all real veterans under the command of various commanders, and some commanders even sent their personal guards up directly.

No one dared to hide their secrets. Firstly, there were not many people who were transferred. For these general soldiers, it was not a matter of injury;

Secondly, no one dared to play tricks on King Jingnan and pretend to be old, weak, sick and disabled.

The elite are the elite, and the arrogant soldiers are also the arrogant soldiers.

But when King Jingnan and He Yebo appeared in front of them together,

Uncle Pingye drew out his saber and signaled them to line up the village to the west.

They didn't even have the guts to ask a question.

The battlefield was clearly in the east, but everyone turned west, west, and west.

If it wasn't for the belief in Hirano Bowei's name,

If other generals commanded them like this,

I'm afraid they will think that this general is leading them to become deserters?

Fortunately, thanks to the fact that the entire rear is the logistics supply line of the Yan people, when the armies from all walks of life go west, they don't have to worry about supply issues at all.

After a long march for a period of time,

finally,

Wangjiang,

Appeared in front of you.

………

Yupan City, or that Yupan City;

Yupan City is no longer that Yupan City.

Once upon a time, Yupan City and Yingdu were across the river, and they were famous for their flower boats and dancers.

The richness of Yingdu is what it should be. As the capital of the Situ family, it has been in operation for a hundred years and integrates political, military, and economic centers. Yingdu can't develop.

In comparison, the prosperity of Yupan City truly reveals a stream of pure beauty.

Literati and poets in Jin all like to visit Yupan City, or write poems across the river, or drink on flower boats.

When Yao Zizhan traveled to Jin, he once left behind Why do you need to care about Yingcheng, I have a jade plate in my heart.

Yao Zizhan is notorious for being romantic, but he is also notorious for being picky. If Yupan City is really bad, he, who is used to Jiangnan's romantic affairs, will never go there like this. admiration.

Unfortunately,

Years of military disasters and endless wars have caused Yupan City to this day. Although the city walls have been repaired, walking in it is still extremely deserted.

The only popularity outside the city is because the logistics supply line of the army in front passes here.

Walking on the city wall, Uncle Zheng couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Feeling the desolation and trough of a famous city, sometimes, touching the scene is not uncontrollable, it just depends on whether you have this leisure time, and right now, at least these few days, Uncle Zheng has this leisure.

Then, let's be hypocritical while you're busy.

well………

Another person beside him also sighed, it was Gou Moli.

Uncle Zheng was amused,

road:

You sigh ass.

The current appearance of Yupan City, you savage king, must have more than 50% of the pot.

Uncle, have you been here before?

This is my first time entering the city. Uncle Zheng said.

During the first Battle of Wangjiang, Uncle Zheng was watching a play in Shengle City.

In the second Battle of Wangjiang, with King Jingnan once again in charge, Uncle Zheng was ordered to lead the army. Not long after, he was arranged to cross the river from the lower reaches to attack the rear.

When we came back after guarding the snow customs, it happened to be the time to slaughter the prisoners.

At that time, under Yupan City, there were all the corpses of Chu people, so Uncle Zheng didn't bother to dirty his boots.

It is said that after the Yan army entered Yupan City, they found that it was full of human bones. When the Chu people were holding on, they ate two-legged sheep wantonly because of lack of food.

Therefore, the slaughter of the 40,000 Qingluan army was really not a big deal.

The last time I passed Wangjiang, I deliberately avoided Yupan City, because Xiong Liqing was with me.

When he came back, Uncle Zheng was in a hurry to go back to prepare for the battle against Chu, so he still couldn't enter Yupan City to have a look.

This time, it's really the first time.

Uncle, in the former Yupan City, when you stand on the street and take a deep breath, you can smell all kinds of rouge, and on the river, you can taste the smell of wine when you scoop up a handful of water.

The Yupan City at that time was really a good place. If this city was taken out alone, it would not be inferior to Jiangnan in the slightest.

but,

It is precisely because it is desolate now that it has a strange plot and atmosphere;

In the view of subordinates,

Uncle, you probably came here to take a look just to pursue that feeling.

this,

It is also a kind of beauty.

Therefore, you have to admire the learning and speculative ability of this true hero. Beauty is a habitual cognition between Uncle Zheng and the devil kings. Usually, I will talk about it occasionally, but Gou Moli is already familiar with it. , and it will be used.

Uncle Zheng was noncommittal,

He just silently took out his large tin box of Zhonghua brand, took out a cigarette, and bit it in his mouth.

Uncle, the soldiers and horses we brought this time are quite mixed.

The chaos of soldiers and horses brought this time is beyond the reach of even the dry.

But Uncle Zheng didn't care,

road:

When you get to the place, there will be no trouble.

The big guys went down by boat and came to a situation of besieged on all sides. In addition to holding a group, they had no choice but to hold a group.

Besides, King Jingnan's banner is held there, and Uncle Zheng's identity is displayed here, so he is really not afraid to command these complex soldiers.

Gou Moli agreed with a smile and said:

So sometimes when you think about it, you deserve what you do. Back then, they managed to find a thorn in the face, but they were beaten to death by their own people.

otherwise,

With the national power of Qianren, how can it be reduced to this point?

Some people look at the century-old fortunes of the country, and some people look at their own power and position, and the focus is different. Zheng Boye said.

Uncle, you are right.

Uncle Zheng took out a fire pocket, lit a cigarette,

road:

According to the news from the Secret Service Department, the old Mr. Zhong from Qianguo may have disappeared, but it's just that the funeral is kept secret from Qianguo.

It's no wonder that Ganren is not moving forward on the three sides. The subordinates thought that we are fighting so fiercely with the Chu people here. No matter how stupid Ganren is, he can't make some noise on the three sides, right? It turned out to be because of this.

The subordinates didn't believe in such things as the fate of the country before, but now, the subordinates have some beliefs. Otherwise, why did the people of Yan keep betting but always win?

There should be no threat to the dry man, he is not tall at all, and the tallest one among the dwarfs is gone, hehe.

Walking along the river often does not wet your shoes. After this time, I probably won't gamble again.

Because the one who is qualified and capable of putting the entire country on the table,

I can't hold it anymore.

Uncle, look, there is a team coming. Gou Moli said, pointing to the outside of the city.

Report, uncle, the fifth prince asks to see you.

A sentinel came in to report.

Fifth child, it's really a matter of etiquette, a dignified prince, when he sees himself, he even asks to see him.

However, this is also where the fifth child is clever. The status of the prince is indeed extremely distinguished, but it also depends on where he is.

The Fifth Highness, please come up.

Here!

after a while,

The Fifth Prince hurried up the city wall in a worn-out gown.

He didn't pretend to look like this, and he didn't deliberately play a buffoon just to meet himself.

Because Uncle Zheng discovered that the fifth prince's whole body was completely tanned, and there were spots on his exposed skin, which were the sequelae of sunburn.

This means that the Fifth Highness, during these days by the Wangjiang River, is not sitting in the Yingdu Ya Building enjoying the flattery of the local officials, but is really doing things.

A prince who can work hard,

Uncle Zheng was thinking about whether he should pay attention to Little Six next time he wrote a letter.

Of course, Uncle Zheng also knew that Ji Lao Liu should know what kind of quality his fifth brother was, and it was impossible to treat him as a carpenter.

I have seen His Royal Highness Fifth.

Uncle Zheng nodded.

He is the leader of the army, leading his troops here for the next step of the battle. In theory, he is still wearing armor, so there is no need to salute. Of course, without these prerequisites, you let the current Uncle Zheng kneel down to the prince , he can't do it, and others don't dare to accept it.

Uncle Hirano has worked hard. Although I am in Wangjiang, I can always hear that Uncle Hirano has made a series of outstanding military exploits on the front line. Alas, Uncle Hirano is really the pillar of my great swallow.

Uncle Zheng immediately raised his hand and stopped the fifth prince.

The Optimus Pillar is just right for King Jingnan;

But Zheng Fan couldn't afford it.

Complimentary words so strongly mean that people are asking you for something.

Under Zheng Boye's gaze,

Gou Moli and a group of personal guards backed away.

The fifth prince moved closer and said to Zheng Fan;

Uncle Hirano came with his army this time, and my newly built naval division, Dayan, is now moored in the upstream water village thirty miles away from Yupan City.

Cheng Wen dared to ask, is the embankment about to burst?

The fifth prince didn't know the battle plan beforehand; even, it was very likely that no one would tell him the plan when the river project was in progress.

Tian Wujing has been preparing for this attack on Chu for several years, so he will naturally entrust this project to a trustworthy person.

But the fifth prince personally participated in it, and he already dabbled in this aspect, and he was willing to study it himself.

For the ordinary soldiers and civilians who repaired the river, they couldn't figure out the deep meaning of it, because on the surface, it seemed that they were indeed repairing and strengthening the river.

But the fifth prince is good at learning and pondering, he saw something wrong by himself.

Uncle Zheng smiled and said:

Please forgive me, Your Highness, Ben, it's inconvenient to say.

I know, I know, but... Uncle Hirano, I just want to ask you one thing.

Please speak, Your Highness.

After the embankment is broken in the next few days, the river will inevitably change its course. Since ancient times, the river's diversion will inevitably poison the people along the coast. The impact on the harvest and displacement is small. The key is that many people are likely to be swept away by the river without any precautions. Walk.

Although the people in the lower reaches of the Wangjiang River are all the people of Jin, but since the land of Jin belongs to my Dayan, the people of Jin are actually the people of my Dayan and the people of my father.

So, I just want to ask Uncle Hirano to evacuate the people along the downstream coast and give them a chance to survive.

hear this,

Uncle Zheng didn't have much emotion,

Just looking at the fifth prince with a little surprise,

immediately,

Uncle Zheng shook his head,

road:

no.

Cheng Wen knows that this is difficult for a strong man. Military affairs are dangerous, and Cheng Wen doesn't know much about it. But, I just want to try and do my best.

Does His Royal Highness know that the army on the front line has been busy for so long and sacrificed so much, just for the Japanese uncle's move in Wangjiang these few days?

It is no exaggeration to say that the previous Yan army's siege, grinding and consumption was to create the fog of war.

yes………

His Royal Highness's heart is good, I admire it, but the evacuation of the people will definitely make the secret agents of Chu people aware of it, and it is even possible for the secret agents to directly gain insight into our army's plan.

In this battle, the most important thing is surprise, and the most important thing is the speed of soldiers. Ben Bo is unwilling to take risks, and it is impossible to take risks.

Because, Benbo's own safety doesn't matter, because Benbo has long been prepared to dedicate everything to my Dayan!

but,

If this affects the overall situation of the Chu Chu campaign and the national war, then the price will not be comparable to the damage to the people along the lower reaches of the river.

It is best that after the embankment is broken, the water level reaches the condition that the navy can advance, and the army should set off immediately.

The later the people of Chu knew about this, the more security they would have.

This is not cavalry. You can rely on your mobility and the Chu people who don't have many horses to play a game of hide-and-seek. This time, you and your soldiers will enter by boat. If the Chu people know in advance Prepare, Uncle Zheng is the turtle caught in the urn.

well.

The fifth prince nodded, no longer insisting,

Said with emotion:

I just want the people to suffer less.

Uncle Zheng stretched out his hand and hooked the Fifth Prince's shoulder,

laughed:

Your Highness, it stands to reason that I should not say this.

Um?

For you, it is more appropriate, because your surname is Ji, and you should also know how much I, Dayan, have paid for this national war. We cannot afford to lose this battle. If something goes wrong , Dayan Sheji, may also be...

I know, I know.

Uncle Zheng nodded and patted Fifth Prince on the shoulder.

Maybe the fifth prince has experienced the hardships of the people these days, so naturally, he has a touch of compassion. Fortunately, he is not pedantic.

at this time,

In my mind, I recalled before I left,

What King Jingnan said to himself,

At that time, I actually asked the same questions as the fifth prince. Of course, what Uncle Zheng asked was definitely not as straightforward as the fifth prince.

but,

King Jingnan's answer was so straightforward that it couldn't be more straightforward, without even the slightest hint of concealment;

He said:

For us,

If the big swallow is gone, what is the use of the common people in this world?

————

Ah, I have persisted for so many days, and the schedule has been reversed to a very embarrassing point. I will not set the alarm clock after I go to sleep. I will wake up to type when I am full of sleep, so there will be no more changes tonight. Don't wait.

Just take half a day off, make adjustments, and hold everyone tight!
