Chapter 561: Decision
Meiwu Fort is only two hundred miles away from Yanjing West City, this distance is the most appropriate, Yu Zonghu's 250,000 elites, mainly stationed in Xiyuan Fujiaoling, Meiwu Fort, Taohuawu, not only back to Yanjing City, the army can also be deployed along the Qiuye River at any time, to Guining City, Yuting Mountain to cover the attack. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Such a deployment of troops can also contain the main force of the Long Xiang army in the west of Beijing, and it cannot be greatly expanded to the two wings, which also means that the decisive battle between the two sides will finally be carried out along the Akino River.
Chen Hai led 150,000 soldiers and horses of the 3rd Town Division, rested for three days in Qinwangling, and after replenishing a large amount of armament and military resources, he waved his division to advance in the direction of Meiwubao.
At this time, the Guining Army also organized the first and second town divisions, in addition to the second town division led by Yao Chuqiu, which held the cities of Guining and Yuting, the fundamental place of the Longxiang army in the western part of Beijing, Huang Peiyi and Yao Zhi led the first town division of the Guining army with 100,000 soldiers and horses, marched east along the south bank of the Qiuye River, and also swept towards Meiwu Fort.
Imperial Concubine Yang Qiaoer also insisted on going out with the army.
At this time, the peace of the Gyeonggi Plain had long since ceased to exist, and countless scouts and scouts were shuttling back and forth between them, trying to find out every move of the other side, and even if the people did not evacuate from both sides of the Akino River, in order to prevent the infiltration of the other side's scouts, they would drive the villagers on the road through the army to the periphery.
Before that, Yu Zonghu sent soldiers and horses to scavenge for grain in the villages and towns on both sides of the Qiuye River, causing the once prosperous Gyeonggi Plain to fall into lifeless desolation.
Chen Hai finally rushed to the sand pile camp sixty miles away from Meiwu Fort, and waited for Huang Peiyi to lead his troops to come over to join the division.
Located on the south bank of the Qiuye River, the sandpile camp is a small city only a few miles deep, originally garrisoned by 3,000 soldiers and horses under Yu Zonghu's army, and when the forward attack of the Longxiang army came, these 3,000 soldiers and horses shrank back to Meiwu Fort, leaving the empty city for the Longxiang army to occupy.
Chen Hai set up a tent in the Shadui camp, and planned to spread out the 3rd Town Division of the Longxiang Army and the 1st Town Division of the Guining Army along both sides of the Qiuye River to Meiwu Fort.
After settling the soldiers and horses south of the Sandui Camp, Huang Peiyi, Yao Zhi, Ji Yuanren and others rushed to the Sandui Camp to meet Chen Hai, while Yao Izumo, Yao Taihe, and the imperial concubine Yang Qiao'er were light and simple, and they did not need to sit in the army, but rushed over to join Chen Hai one step in advance.
Huang Peiyi also saw the relics of the incarnate Tsing Yi Lao Su guarding Chen Hai's side for the first time.
Cang Yi did not deliberately suppress his cultivation at this time, and stood there with his hands in his sleeves, like an endless abyss, which made Huang Peiyi and the others feel their own insignificance, and although Chen Hai was far from being comparable to Cang Yi in terms of momentum, it was like a ball of purple thunder and lightning between heaven and earth, and it was not affected and suppressed by Cang Yi's qi machine at all.
Compared with the crampedness of Yao Izuyun, Yao Zhi and others, Yang Qiao'er, the wife of the Song State who is the weakest in cultivation, can also be completely unaffected by the relict qi, sitting behind the bookcase, listening to Chen Hai explain the next strategy of using troops.
Seeing Huang Peiyi, Yao Zhi, Ji Yuanren and others entering the big tent, Chen Hai said:
"Although the purpose of our march this time is to drag Yu Zonghu's troops so that Le Yi and Han Jian can smoothly lead their troops to pass quickly from the Jingnan region and attack Shenling Mountain, we must have Yu Zonghu's psychological preparation to start a decisive battle with us at any time on both sides of the Qiuye River. ”
"The First Town Division of the Guining Army and the Third Town Division of the Longxiang Army, although they are both newly formed divisions, in terms of the courage of the generals, they may not be as good as the tiger and wolf divisions under the command of Yu Zonghu, but after the Tianji Academy Palace replenished a large number of ordnance, if Yu Zonghu dares to start a decisive battle on both sides of the Qiuye River, I am confident that he will win. Huang Peiyi said confidently.
The first town division of the Guining Army, mainly composed of disciples who practice military skills in the Tianji Academy Palace as the backbone of the grassroots level, although it is a new division, lacking the tempering of iron and blood, but the foundation is excellent, Huang Peiyi believes that as long as a little tempering, it will be able to become an iron-blooded elite, morale and style, which are beyond the ability of the Hexiang County soldiers led by the Huang clan before.
Previously, all the lords estimated that Chen Hai had exhausted the few resources in his hands in order to equip the remnants of the Heiyan Army, which was organized as the second town division of the Longxiang Army at this time, but in the large passage at the western foot of Qintong Mountain, which made the lords dumbfounded, during this time, the Long Xiang Army had replenished the weapons of the Guining Army and the Third Town Division of the Longxiang Army so quickly and so much, which also opened Huang Peiyi's eyes, he really couldn't understand where Chen Hai had built hundreds of more heavenly chariots!
You must know that over the years, the quenched iron materials that Long Xiangjun can get from Liquan can estimate accurate figures, unless Chen Hai has a large supply of quenched iron materials outside of Liquan?
Huang Peiyi's speculation is closer to the truth, but as a large number of Huang clan members moved into Yandang Plain, Huang Peiyi did not think about anything other than to assist the imperial concubine to recapture the capital and fight for the due status of the Huang clan from the future new emperor pattern.
The military discussion did not end until the sky was blue, Huang Peiyi didn't care about the hard work of the night, rushed back to the garrison palace, and gathered the generals to adjust the deployment, and the first town division of the Guining army 100,000 soldiers and horses, divided the troops into three ways, with a relatively stable character situation, from the south bank of the Qiuye River to Meiwu Fort slowly pressed, at the same time, Chen Hai will personally lead the third town division of the Longxiang army, with a more rapid momentum, swooped towards Meiwu Fort, so that even if Yu Zonghu perceived their intentions, it was impossible to divide troops to help defend Shenling Mountain.
********************
The scouts and horses deployed by the two armies on the periphery had already begun to fight, and there were casualties among each other, and the combat strength and morale of the Longxiang army were far stronger than those in Tiechengling, which caught the generals of the Tiger Roar battalion somewhat off guard.
Since Chen Hai led his troops to pounce at a faster speed from the north bank of the Qiuye River, Yu Zonghu set up the tent at Fujiaoling on the north bank of the Qiuye River.
Yu Zonghu's department also stockpiled 250,000 elites on the front line of the West Garden, Caojiazhai, Taohuawu, and Meiwu Fort of Fujiaoling, and considering that Chen Hai personally led his troops to attack from the north bank, Yu Zonghu also deployed more soldiers and horses in the West Garden on the north bank.
The West Garden is the place where the Xiyuan Army hoarded and trained in the early years, especially Fujiaoling, and it is also the camp city where Chen Hai trained the seventh battalion of the Xiyuan Army in his early years.
Yu Zonghu stood in the main hall with a blushing face, staring at the topography map of Yanjing City presented by a cloud of blue light in the center of the main hall, he couldn't figure out that Chen Hai would choose to fight them on the front line of Meiwubao and Fujiaoling.
The Third Town Division and the Guining Army have just formed an army, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not strong, even if Chen Hai relies on the Tianji Academy Palace and can create more and stronger Tianji warweapons, but he led his troops into Meiwu Fort and Fujiaoling two months ago to garrison, in addition to repairing and reinforcing the city wall, he also deployed a number of defensive arrays, which can offset the superiority of the Longxiang army's weapons.
"Chen Hai divided 100,000 soldiers and horses to defend Ningcheng and Yuting City, there is no accident," the military Sima Zhu Li is a veteran who has followed Yu Zonghu in the southern and northern wars for decades, and is also Yu Zonghu's most relied on adviser, judging from the situation of the Longxiang army in the past few days, he also saw many suspicious points, "However, the elite of the 100,000 Longxiang army in Qintong Dongguan did not follow the gallop road at the same time and forced towards Meiwu Fort, which is a little incomprehensible." Could it be that the Long Xiang army is afraid that we will divide our troops to seize the Qintong East Pass and cut off their retreat, or maybe the real goal of the Long Xiang army is not Meiwu Fort?"
Yu Zonghu looked at Wei Ziya, who personally went to Fujiaoling to supervise the battle as the lieutenant general of the Su Guard Army and the regular servant "Wen Boyuan", and Zhu Li's suspicions could not be ignored.
At this time, the situation showed that the Long Xiang Battalion had at least twenty Wind Flame airships, and after the Nine Domains Coalition Army was dispersed, the Long Xiang Army had the most powerful war bird force in the Jingchigi and Qintong Mountain regions, which meant that even if the Long Xiang Army did not defend the Qintong West Pass, the transportation with Liquan and other places would not have to worry about being cut off.
There is no need for the 100,000 elites of Le Yi's department to guard at Qintong Dongguan, but they did not come to Meiwu Fort, which means that Chen Hai's real goal is outside Meiwu Fort.
"Shenling Mountain!" Wei Ziya seemed to have a thunderbolt slashing into the sea of knowledge, and suddenly thought that Chen Hai's real plot was Shenling Mountain, which was close to the east of Yanjing City, and he stood up suddenly, revealing a momentum as sharp as a sword, which made many generals in the tent feel a stagnation.
In addition to core figures such as Zhao Zhong and Yu Zonghu, Zhu Li and others only thought that Wen Boyuan's cultivation had gone wrong some time ago, and they didn't know that he had been taken away by Wei Ziya, and they were all shocked at this time, and they couldn't understand how Wen Boyuan's momentum was so much stronger than Yu Shuai?
Yu Zonghu turned the cyan Xuanguang in the center of the main hall, and the orientation of Shenling Mountain was more nuanced, after Zhao Zhong led 100,000 soldiers and horses to join Yu Haode, entered the Jingbei region, and controlled Wusheng Pass, Yanjing City was actually only defended by 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Fengxiao battalion.
On the front line of Dongcheng and Shenling Mountain, the defenders are not even less than 30,000.
The field combat power of the Fengxiao battalion is weak, even if 100,000 soldiers and horses come out, they may not be able to defeat the 100,000 elites of the Longxiang army in the field battle, and although Yu Zonghu's department is the elite of a hundred battles, Chen Hai personally led the soldiers and horses to entangle them, and he could not send troops and horses to help defend Shenling Mountain.
And once the Long Xiang army takes away Shenling Mountain, Yanjing City has a large array of defenses, and there is no need to worry about it for the time being, but the scope of activities of the Su Guards from now on will actually be compressed into two points, Meiwu Fort and Yanjing City, and the situation will become extremely ugly.
"What a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain and attack the west!" Yu Zonghu looked at Wei Ziya and said, "It seems that we can only plan and plan in advance, and have a decisive battle with Chen Hai along the Qiuye River in advance......
In Yu Zonghu's view, the current situation is very simple, instead of dividing 30,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses to help defend Shenling Mountain, it is better to concentrate on concentrating and first defeat the 250,000 soldiers and horses led by Chen Hai.
