Chapter 169: Separate camps

Yao Qitai didn't know what secret agreement Chen Hai had secretly reached with the Tu clan, and he actually wanted to help Tu Chongjin regain military power at this time, but he also had to admit that among the defeated generals who escaped from Qintong Pass with Tu Chongjin, they could barely scrape together the military attache battalion needed for the establishment of the capital in the future.

It's just that Yao Xuan, Shu Rong, Hua Zhedong and other more than a dozen military attachés of the rank of cavalry captain reorganized the first army, and in the end they could only accept 5,000 remnants, Yao Qitai couldn't be reluctant in his heart.

He looked at Wei Yuqi with gloomy eyes, just to see if Wei Yuqi could endure this breath and endure Chen Hai's small role and directly bypass him to arrange all this?

Wei Yuqi sighed slightly, and said: "The Kou army is menacing, and the thieves will be difficult to eliminate for a while. ”

"Wei Shuai!" Yao Qitai didn't expect Wei Yuqi to be able to endure this breath, and couldn't help shouting.

"I haven't recovered from my injuries, and it's difficult to sit still and think about the defense of the war for a long time, so everything needs to be more responsible for Duwei Chen, Yao Sicheng, and the generals. Wei Yuqi said that he was here, stood up and walked back to the temporary residence, and handed over the Chinese army's big tent to Chen Hai and Yao Qitai.

Yao Qitai was stunned there, he didn't expect that Wei's boss Wei Yu would be so disheartened that he would be willing to hand over the command of the Xiyuan Army to an arrogant man who had not dried up!

Wei Yuzhi ignored the surprised reaction of Yao Qitai and the others, and walked out of the big tent directly, and saw Wu Meng, Ge Tong, Cao Feng and other battalion generals all standing in front of the big tent calmly, bowing their heads slightly, signaling that they knew whether they could survive this catastrophe, and they still needed to rely on the concerted efforts of these battalion generals.

Wei Yuzhi's understanding of Chen Hai in the past was mainly due to the fact that Yao Qitai and others kept recounting Chen Hai's many "bad deeds" in his ears, and when Wei Yuqi heard about Chen Hai's killing of the children of the sect lords, Wei Yuqi also felt that Chen Hai's imperial majesty was too cruel and ruthless; his previous perception of Chen Hai was by no means good.

Wei Yuzhi didn't know much about Chen Hai at this time, but his previous disgust was also extremely weak.

When the army was defeated, the proud sons of heaven who were born in the sons of the sect lords abandoned their generals as soon as possible, and only took care of their own lives under the protection of the personal guards, and went deep into the mountains and old forests one after another. As a result, he and Yao Qitai retreated to Zuojin Valley, and their subordinates couldn't even get together the battalion generals and captains who had reorganized all the soldiers and horses.

Chen Hai had no responsibility to enter Tongbei Mansion in the north, but he not only resolutely led his troops to occupy Zuojin Valley, but also led 600 elite cavalry to the north fearlessly when the army collapsed, and together with Tu Chongjin's troops, he blocked the defeat of the rebels and the Red Mei Sect. In front of Chen Hai, what glory did those Heavenly Pride Sons who were selected from among the elite disciples of the counties have?

It was also because of Chen Hai's resoluteness and fearlessness that they and the 25,000 remnants of the Xiyuan Army were able to calmly retreat to Zuojin Valley to take a breath, join the main force of the Seventh Capital, and struggle back two steps from the edge of life and death.

Nominally, Wei Yuqi is still the main general, and he is still a figure in the Dao Dan Realm admired by the world, but under the cover of Chen Hai and Tu Chongjin, there are more than 200 remnants who fled back to Zuojin Valley with him, what kind of face does he have to compete with Chen Hai for command?

The blow of this battle was too great for him, and his thin face suddenly aged a lot, not because he was seriously injured in a night of fighting with the old man in the yellow shirt.

In addition to the death of more than 25,000 generals of the Xiyuan Army, few of the 100,000 people recruited from Tongbei Mansion by Wei Yuzhi survived - these are all the crimes he has to bear, and he has no confidence that he can lead the remnants of the Xiyuan Army to support the arrival of reinforcements, so he can only hand over the command.

**********************

After Wei Yu left, the atmosphere of the Great Horde Army became doubly cold.

Although there was a charcoal fire for heating in the big tent, everyone still felt that Chen Hai and Yao Qitai's eyes could condense frost flowers.

"Lord Yao, do you still have something to teach Chen Hai?"

Wei Yuzhi's coach's seat was vacant, and Chen Hai sat down behind the bookcase on the left, and asked Yao Qitai in a humble tone.

It has been the fourth day since the rout of Leiyang Valley, Yao Qitai has recovered some vitality, his face is not so pale, but his old face is red again.

Chen Hai's tone sounded humble, but he seemed to have regarded himself as the main general, and regarded him as a deputy general who could only make suggestions on the side, how could Yao Qitai not be angry in his heart, how could he accept it calmly?

However, Wu Meng, Ge Tong, Cao Feng and others rushed in, and Tu Chongjin, Tu Chongzheng, Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong all sat beside Chen Hai with a calm face - Yao Qitai also knew in his heart at this time that the system of the seventh battalion was complete, and Tu Chongjin's department completely came together with Chen Hai, but Wei Yuqi, who could best suppress Chen Hai's arrogance, also became a turtle with a shrunken head, and he only relied on Hua Zhedong, Shu Rong and his son Yao Xuan and a few other defeated generals, and it was impossible to confront Chen Hai at this moment.

Chen Hai didn't care what Yao Qitai was thinking, after all the generals arrived, he directly began to deploy the follow-up defensive battles.

The main force of the Xiyuan Army was greatly defeated, and finally 25,000 remnants withdrew into the Zuojin Valley camp.

The original plan of the rebels was to lure the main force of the Xiyuan Army into Leiyang Valley, ambush them with the Tiangang Thunder Prison Array, and after the collapse of the Xiyuan Army, the Heavenly Master Gong Liang led more than 1,000 elite disciples of the Red Mei Sect to focus on clearing any organized resistance to the rout of the Xiyuan Army, and then the army of displaced people swept the entire battlefield to expand the results.

The rebels' plan was correct, Wei Yuzhi was unsuspecting and brought the army into the range of the Tiangang Thunder Prison Array, and under the cover of the first thunder waterfall, the army collapsed, and at this time, the rebels, regardless of their strength or weakness, were naturally unscrupulous.

However, the rebels did not expect that Chen Hai would lead his troops to occupy the Zuojin Valley so resolutely, even if they wanted to adjust the deployment of troops at that time, it was too late, and the bad storm did not stop Chen Hai's determination to lead the elite to rush to the aid of the remnants, and when a large number of soldiers fled into the Zuojin Valley camp, the rebels were far from ready to storm the Zuojin Valley camp.

Three days had passed, and the rebels were only gathering troops and horses to the north of the Zojin Valley.

This also gave Chen Hai a crucial buffer time to reorganize his position.

More than 25,000 defeated soldiers, Chen Hai directly incorporated half of them into the seventh capital, and directly doubled the number of generals in each battalion to strengthen the combat power of the seventh capital.

Next, Chen Hai also wants to compile two partial divisions.

One is to reorganize 5,000 soldiers and horses with Yao Qitai, Yao Xuan, Hua Zhedong, and Shu Rong, who have not fled for their lives, and the other is to reorganize more than 17,000 soldiers and horses with the 8,000 people and 8,000 defeated soldiers who have rushed to the Zuojin Valley to assemble.

Although the 8,000 Minyong have not undergone strict training, almost none of them have any cultivation foundation, and even the armor is not complete, but fortunately, the backbone of the Minyong are all the heroic villagers who have followed Cao Feng and Cao Shan's father and son for many years.

Chen Haijun later urgently transferred more than 100 veterans and pawns from Fujiaoling and more than 100 soldiers from Ge Tong's Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion to be incorporated into the Minyong, and the command system was still established.

Now the battalion commander and 8,000 remnants of Tu Chongjin's department are directly inserted into it, and the battalion structure of this army is still complete.

Chen Hai will set up two more battalions on the two wings of the main camp, and let Yao Qitai and Tu Chongjin lead their troops to station, and the three battalions will form a horn trend, which is more conducive to follow-up defense.

Yao Qitai and Tu Chongjin's two troops and horses could not have much combat strength in a short period of time, but their task was mainly to hold the camp, and they could still barely do it; and the real counterattack and the coordinated defense and reinforcement of the other two battalions, Chen Hai's side would take on all of them.

Chen Hai thought that with such an arrangement, as long as the rebels really wanted to fight with them and lose both, it should not be a problem to support the arrival of reinforcements from the Taiwei Mansion.

Even though Yao Qitai was worried that Chen Hai's sub-camp had other plans, he was powerless to question Chen Hai's deployment.

Tu Chongjin and Tu Chongzheng quite agreed with Chen Hai's deployment.

Tu Chongjin's department will be composed of 17,800 people, which must have been chaotic at first, but fortunately, it only needs to defend the camp, and it is not far from the main camp, so it should not be too difficult.

What's more critical is that Tu Chongjin's department is incorporated into the Minyong and remnants, and half of them are the elite of the Xiyuan Army, but they were beaten and killed. And Tu Chongjin's generals who broke through from Qintong Pass, almost all of them have the foundation of cultivation above the middle and late stages of the Xuan Realm, and what they lack is only a run-in with the grassroots generals.

They first guarded the camp and ran in the defensive battle, maybe they held on until the Taiwei Mansion transferred reinforcements, and they already had the foundation of an elite division.

Chen Hai called Cao Feng and Cao Shan's father and son over separately to speak.

Cao Feng is old, and it is difficult to withstand the torment of the brutal war without a foundation of cultivation, and Chen Hai will transfer him to the baggage camp and follow Zhou Jingyuan and Ding Shuang by their side; Cao Shan still has some cultivation foundation, and Chen Hai will do his best to assist Tu Chongjin.

The Tu clan may not be able to guarantee that Cao Shan's cultivation will be in the realm of enlightenment, but as long as Cao Shan is of great help to Tu Chongjin to take over the military power, Chen Hai believes that the Tu clan will definitely not be stingy with the elixir Bao Dan to help Cao Shan open up the Linghai Secret Palace and step into the Linghai Realm.

Selfishly speaking, compared to Chen Hai, who had an unstable foundation and offended the clan of the clan at every turn, Cao Feng and Cao Shan were more willing to take refuge in a top-notch and indestructible princely clan like the Tu clan, so how could they be unhappy with such an arrangement?

Chen Hai still has the inertia of thinking when he was on earth, and he never asks others to be blindly loyal to him, he thinks in his heart that the most reliable loyalty is that he must be "useful" to others - it is precisely because he is "useful" to the British King Yingshu that he can grasp greater power than Yao Qitai and other powerhouses in the late stage of the Ming Realm, of course, it is also because the British King Yingshu is "useful" to him, so he is also loyal to the British King Yingshu at this time.

After instructing many things, Chen Hai asked Yao Qitai and Tu Chongjin to hurry up and prepare for the division of the camp while the rebels had not yet launched an offensive......

Although Chen Hai followed the strategy of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, cut off the retreat of Zuojin Valley, and slaughtered the war horses to reserve military rations, not only to strengthen the heart of his own generals to fight to the death, but also to make Heavenly Master Gong Liang throw a mouse and dare not fight them to the death, but he also knew in his heart that Heavenly Master Gong Liang would never be easily frightened away by him, and there would still be several bloody battles in the future to force back Heavenly Master Gong Liang and the elite members of the Red Mei Sect......
