Volume 1 Northeast War Chapter 2 Wuyang is lost
Lancheng, far away from Wuyang, was shocked by the news of the loss of the northeast defense line, and Baya Xintu ascended the throne less than two years after he was ten years old, and was assisted by Shu Ce, the prince of Liguo, and Yang Hua, the president of the president.
The former emperor Baya Xintuoli tried to govern, bent on building a peak empire, and the heir only had Baya Xintu a son in his later years, and the sudden death caught the ministers off guard, and the throne could only fall on Baya Xintu's ten-year-old child, and finally the Baya tribe would elect an auxiliary minister, and hand it over to Shu Ce, the Duke of Liguo, to assist in internal affairs and the president to lead Yang Hua to take charge of the army.
"The northeast defense line is lost, how can this be handled?"
On the Jinluan Palace, the Great Purple King Baya Xintu received Chen Ming's urgent report, and it was already the third day that the northeast frontier defense had been broken through.
The civil officials and military generals in the hall all showed surprised expressions after reading the emergency report one by one, and they were very surprised.
"The northeast border defense is guarded by 60,000 dragon guards, and it was broken so easily, how did Yang Ming guard the front line of the border defense?" Yang Hua, the president of the Purple Country, was wearing a purple brocade robe, a purple official hat on his head, and his whole face was no different from that of ordinary people, that is, his nose was protruding, his two nostrils were wide open to the sky, and his nose hair was slightly exposed.
"Your Majesty, it seems that this matter needs to be supported as soon as possible, 60,000 Dragon Guards have not really competed with the enemy army and suffered 8,000 casualties, it seems that the enemy army has several times the strength of the Northeast Dragon Guard, and Wuyang is an important place in the Northeast, running through the three northeastern provinces of Liaoyang and Linta, if Wuyang is lost, the entire Northeast is in danger!"
The one who spoke was Shu Ce, the brother of the Duke of Liguo with a goat and white beard, no one knew his origin, but it is rumored that he met when the first emperor conquered the southwest Liukou, and then followed the first emperor Baya Xintuo to drive away the southwest Liukou, and stabilized the southwest coastal area.
"Brother Guogong's words are wrong, Chen Ming is the commander of the Dragon Guard, there are 60,000 elites in the army who can line up the army, and now although the loss is 8,000, Chen Ming did not ask for support, and the insight into the enemy's situation is unclear in the urgent letter, if it is not appropriate to rush to send troops at this time, there are two points.
First, there will be 5,000 guards in Wuyang, more than 50,000 in the Northeast Dragon Guard, and nearly 60,000 troops in Wuyang, which is firmly guarded by high walls, will be indestructible.
Second, the armament grain and grass are not yet considered, the transportation of grain and grass can be transported by warships to the Nu River, and it is only five days to arrive in Wuyang, and now the only thing that the Purple Country can draw is the Tiger Guards and the Blue City Forbidden Army, the southwest commander Li Chuan, and the Xiliang family is fighting internally, but the ice and snow in the west are now serious, and most of the tribes are short of food, so they can't go north to the west to attack Ramau Province, so the eight thousand iron guards in the west can't move, and even if the Xiliang iron cavalry is used, it will not help. Not to mention the Zhenbei Army guarding Yumen Pass, in addition, the southwest road is far away, if you really want to support, only the Blue City Forbidden Army will be dispatched, but if you want to transfer the Blue City Forbidden Army, the imperial capital's defense will be weakened, and who will guarantee the safety of Blue City?"
"Even so, but you still need to be prepared, the minister suggested sending a message to recall Li Chuan's Tiger Guards stationed on the southwest coast, ready to support at any time, and the Blue City Forbidden Army does not need to go to Wuyang to support, but also to go to the Nu River to garrison, the Nu River Cangjiang River is a natural risk, even if Wuyang is lost, we can also take advantage of the Nu River natural danger to give our army preparation time, and the Blue City to the Nu River all the way is flat, and the fast horse arrives is less than a day's journey, and the defense is naturally worry-free. ”
Seeing that Yang Hua was reluctant to send troops to support, Shu Ce, the prince of Liguo, naturally understood his abacus, the Purple State Army was divided into the Dragon Guard, the Tiger Guard, the Xiliang Army, the Zhenbei Army and the Blue City Forbidden Army, and the Blue City Forbidden Army has been controlled by Yang Hua, some time ago Yang Hua tried to control the Xiliang Army, although the Xiliang Army has not yet completely surrendered to Yang Hua, but it has begun to split into two parts, one part secretly served Yang Hua, and the other part is still loyal to the Purple State.
Therefore, the reason why Yang Hua was reluctant to send troops was that the Northeast Dragon Guard Army and the Southwest Tiger Guard Army did not make a statement, so if he could use this to consume the strength of the Dragon Guard Army and the Tiger Guard, and then replenish the soldiers all in his personal hands, the military power would be that Yang Hua was the only one, and once he had a plan, he would be unstoppable.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's situation is unknown, and it is taboo for soldiers to rush to send troops, since the northeast frontier has been broken three days ago, then the battle in Wuyang has also begun, why don't you find out the situation of the enemy army and then consider it? Let the forbidden army gather and prepare enough food and grass in these three days, and the forbidden army can go out at any time. ”
And Ge Shuce was shocked when he heard that the forbidden army was assembled first, there were only forbidden troops and royal guards in the blue city, and the royal guards were all assembled in the palace, but the forbidden army was scattered in the outer city to garrison, if the forbidden army was assembled, the royal guards were only 5,000 and the forbidden army was 30,000, once the forbidden army was assembled, there would be no soldiers to stop, fortunately, the forbidden army could not be assembled without the emperor's order.
Baya Xintu has followed his father Baya Xintuo since he was a child, and he is also a smart person, but his current foundation is unstable and he is young, so it is difficult to make a difference.
Thinking that only the royal guards could trust and use the military power in his hands, he didn't dare to let Yang Hua gather the forbidden army, and said with a young face: "What Commander Yang Hua said is not unreasonable, the enemy situation is unknown, you can't rush to send troops, and the forbidden army doesn't need to be assembled for the time being, I believe that Chen Ming's 60,000-strong army Wuyang City will definitely have no worries, and I will make plans after the war is clear." ”
Seeing that Yang Hua still had something to say, Baya Xintu preemptively continued: "I'm lonely, I'll discuss something tomorrow." ”
The day's court discussion ended early, but the fact that the northeast frontier was broken by the unknown enemy army spread throughout the entire Blue City in an instant, and Baya Xinyu, the princess of Changping in the palace, naturally received the news, and she suddenly thought of a young man who saw that she was not lost or even died on the spot, so she hurried to discuss with Shu Ce, the brother of Liguo.
At this time, Baya Xintu was negotiating with Ge Shuze, and Li Si, the captain of the forbidden army at this time, was also among them.
"Yang Hua is reluctant to send troops this time, Guogong, do you say that Wuyang can be safe and sound?"
"Your Majesty is relieved, what Yang Hua thinks about is just wanting to lose the strength of the Northeast Frontier Army, but what he said is true, there are still 60,000 troops in Wuyang City, and Chen Ming has not raised the need for support, so it may not be impossible to hold it, but the Dragon Guard Army must have lost a lot of money in this battle, Yang Hua played a good hand!" Goshuzer said.
"If the power of the Northeast Frontier Army is weakened, won't only the Southwest Tiger Guards be able to compete with the forbidden army?" Li Si suddenly thought of this, but Baya Xintu and Ge Shuce couldn't think of it.
"Isn't there a way to get Yang Hua to dispatch the forbidden army?Captain Li, do you think the Tiger Guard Army will have anything to do with Yang Hua?" Baya Xintu seemed to have a headache.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I dare to guarantee that my father is loyal to the empire and has no second thoughts, although my father let me enter the forbidden army, and Yang Hua allowed me to be a lieutenant, this is just my father's ploy to let me enter Yang Hua's forbidden army. Li Si said in fear.
"In this way, Commander Li Chuan is also trustworthy, it's a pity for the Dragon Guard, if you can make the Dragon Guard less dead and injured, Yang Hua won't have to worry about it after a while. Grandpa Guo said with emotion.
At this time, Princess Changping was wearing a red dress and a white veil covering her face, revealing only two eyes as deep as water.
"The imperial sister is not staying in the palace, how can she come to my brother's side. Baya Xintu didn't dare to look directly at Baya Xinyu, and he didn't even speak to Baya Xinyu.
"Brother Huang, I heard that there was a war in the Northeast, and I came to ask Brother Huang for something. Baya's new voice is like water, and it has a note that goes straight to the depths of the heart.
"If there is anything about the imperial sister, just ask Xi'er to come and talk about it, and the imperial brother will naturally help you, why bother to come to me in person. Baya Xintu's tone was a little stiff, but when he thought of this poor imperial sister, he couldn't get angry.
Baya Xinyu also noticed that there were still Ge Shuce and Li Si in the Shangshu Pavilion at this time, so he walked into the pavilion and isolated the three of them before saying: "I know my situation, no one dares to look at me since I was a child, even the queen mother and father dare not stay with me for a while, but the only person who can look at me directly has been exiled to the far northeast by you, the emperor's brother, if something happens to him in this northeast war, my life will be meaningless." The tone was cold and poignant.
"Sister Huang, I don't have to do this for Lu Qi, you go back to the palace first and wait for two years, and the lonely family will naturally send him back. Baya Xintu said with a breath of turbid air from his mouth.
"Then why don't you let him go now, why not let him suffer such hardships, take advantage of the current war in the northeast, release the labor to go to the battlefield as a big soldier, and then give him another order to recall him back to the court?" Baya Xin's tone was a little resentful.
And Baya Xintu seemed to think of something when he heard Baya Xinyu's words, but Li Si patted his legs and cheered: "Wonderful, Princess Changping's words are wonderful, Your Majesty!"
"Yang Hua is reluctant to send troops to support, the purpose is to consume the combat power of the Dragon Guard, but the war in the Northeast is now known to everyone in the imperial capital, if you don't send troops and don't respond, the people's hearts will be unstable, but if Your Majesty you order an amnesty in the Northeast, all those who are not guilty of rebellion and rebellion will be released and go to Wuyang to help Chen Ming lead the garrison, so that the loss of the Dragon Guard will be greatly reduced. ”
Li Si's remarks are full of expectations, after all, he grew up with Lu Qi since he was a child, although he is arrogant and arrogant, but after all, he is his own brother-in-law, because of the "Zimeng" He wanted to be executed by Yang Hua, and finally Baya Xintu directly exiled him to the Northeast to work hard.
"Your Majesty, what Captain Li said is reasonable, not only to make Yang Hua unable to succeed, but also to fight for His Majesty's popular support, but rashly ordering Lu Qi to return to Beijing will inevitably increase Li Chuan's momentum, this move is inappropriate, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
"Li Guogong's words are wrong, General Li has been loyal to the country all his life, loyal to the liver and courage, and now that the Purple Country is the time to employ people, how can he be suspicious of loyal ministers? Could it be that Li Guogong has something to think about?" Baya Xinyu's two eyes were deep and staring at Ge Shuce, making Ge Shuce feel uncomfortable.
"Sister Huang doesn't need to say anymore, the government of the country is in charge of national affairs, all for the sake of the Purple Country, for the sake of the emperor's brother, I already know about this matter, and I have my own decision. Baya Xintu said kindly.
Considering the pitiful nature of the royal sister Baya Xinyu, Baya Xintu couldn't help but make a decision.
Therefore, on the second day, the court discussed that Baya Xintu would no longer propose reinforcements, and would consider it after the enemy's situation was clear, but those who were not guilty of rebellion and rebellion in the northeast should immediately go to Wuyang to assist in garrisoning.
With a command, the entire situation in the Northeast has changed, and even the entire Purple Country has undergone subtle changes, which led to the rise of the "Three Outstanding Youths of the Purple Country" later.
However, the battle in Wuyang had already started a hot offensive and defensive battle two days ago.
Although the amnesty decree was issued, it only arrived three days later, and then the young and strong people were selected to go to the battlefield during the labor, and the back and forth were delayed for two days, and it was already the eighth day that the northeast frontier defense was broken when it arrived at Wuyang City. It was also the fifth day of Wuyang City's perseverance.
Looking up, Wuyang City was already dilapidated, and fire smoke was rising everywhere in the city, which showed how fierce this offensive and defensive battle was.
"Damn, what the hell is the origin of this group of guys, this battle is really embarrassing, it has only been three days, and the losses are so heavy, I'm afraid they will launch a general attack tomorrow. Chen Ming stood on the city wall, looking at the dead and wounded soldiers, even though he knew that the war would kill people, but it was also heartache to see the brothers fall one by one.
On the sixth day after the demons broke through the northeast border defense line, Wuyang City was in danger, not to mention that the five thousand Wuyang soldiers had basically finished fighting, and the Northeast Dragon Guards were also killed and wounded, and now there are less than 30,000 troops who can still participate in the battle, but the enemy army has hundreds of thousands of troops, although the losses of the enemy army in these three days are not clear, but by no means more than 20,000.
Such a result is unacceptable to the soldiers defending the city, but thinking of the picture on the battlefield is even more unacceptable.
Have you ever seen a scene of a group of beasts attacking a city?
Have you ever seen a siege using magic?
Have you ever seen a race that is different from humans?
The guards of Wuyang Pass they had seen, and it was simply their nightmare.
On the third day of retreating from the northeast defense line to Wuyang Pass, the demon army led a group of beasts to fight.
Even if the big pit was dug in advance, it still couldn't stop the attack of the half-beast army.
On the first day, the beasts came to the city, but the Wuyang city gate was strong and could not achieve further results, and the strange beasts that wandered under the city gate that night were repelled by the Wuyang defenders.
The next day, it was a foreign beast attack again, but mixed with the soldiers of the half-beast army, went straight to the city gate, and the defenders of Wuyang finally saw what race was attacking the empire, they had a human body and a beast face, and some of the beast faces were completely beast heads, while some only had half of their faces or other places on their faces looked like beasts.
The group of orcs approached the city gate, and they didn't know what to say, when suddenly lightning and thunder struck the city gate, but the city gate was unaware and still very strong.
Then it summoned the fire and burned, and the defenders on the city wall looked at the half-beast army and kept chanting in their mouths, and then all kinds of magic kept changing in front of them, electric shocks, thunder, fire, so the real one came into view, fortunately, the city gate was safe and still, and at night, the dense aerial arrow attack of the wing clan could not lock the target, and the Wuyang defenders launched an attack, and once again repelled the beasts and half-beasts that the half-beast army attacked the city.
On the third day, the half-beast army finally stopped, and it was not until the morning of the fifth day that it launched another attack on Wuyang, first the beasts charged, and then the winged arrows quickly and intensively attacked, covering the half-beast army to advance forward.
After the flying arrows of the Wing Clan stopped, they actually jumped out of it, and directly entered the city to open the city gate from the inside, but how could Chen Ming do as the half-orcs wished? Immediately sent a battalion of dragon guards and the demon army to fight, without the assistance of the beasts, and without the dense arrows of the winged birds, the city guards all fell into the half-beast army in the city, which was the biggest result obtained since the battle with the half-beast army.
In the next few days, the half-beast army launched an even more fierce offensive, but also
