Chapter 50 Sending troops to Shangjin County
The speed at which information could spread in this era was limited, and Mair would not easily join the war until the Ilibi League and Ramorgis were not ready for war. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The Ilibi allies were at war with the Ira people and carrying out a second reform, and the pressure on each country was great. But even so, they are willing to help Maier against the Xiaohu family. The Ilibians were well aware of the consequences of this, that is, in the near future, the Tairongs would start an all-out war against the Ilibians at the call of the Xiaohu family.
In order to win the war, the Ilibi allies communicated through letters and decided to suspend the second reform and concentrate on dealing with the Taiyong and Ira. By the time the Ilibi League made adjustments, it was April of the 135th year of the new calendar.
Ramogis was much more efficient than Elibi's allies, and by the end of February, he had already gathered the kingdoms of the Dugu people around the Xiaohu family and volunteered to take over the duties of emperor. In mid-March, the Dugu kingdoms under the jurisdiction of Ramogis were ready for war, and at the end of March, Mayer, at the behest of Ramogis, announced in his capacity as Tengyan's son-in-law that Byronsburg and his allies would join the war to overthrow Xiaohu Tengyan's rule.
At this time, the 200,000 troops connected by Xiaohu Lake had already approached the city of Chunshan, and Teng Yan was defending the city of Chunshan and confronted the enemy forces outside the city. Teng Yan's side is not having a good time, the advantage of Xiaohu's connected forces is too great, and the coalition forces under Teng Yan are defeated and retreated. Since this was a battle related to the life and death of the Tengzi generation, the lords who followed Teng Yan's rebellion had no intention of surrendering.
On March 28, 135 AH, Mair appointed Salin and Yanhe as commanders of the First and Second Legions.
The First Army Corps had five regiments under the jurisdiction of Hope City, one improvised engineer regiment, and two improvised Ilibi regiments, with a total strength of 8,000 men, or about fifteen,000 including the soldiers and civilians. The Second Army Corps had five regiments under the jurisdiction of Byronsburg, one improvised Engineer Corps, and two improvised Leiding Corps, with a total strength of 8,000 men, or about 12,000 including the soldiers and civilians.
On April 1, the 1st Army marched in the direction of the county seat. On the same day, the 2nd Army marched in the direction of Rimi City. Shangjin County almost surrounded the territory of Byronsburg, and before he could go to Xiaohujia, Meier had to deal with Shangjin County. When Wei Lin saw that Maier had sent troops to Jinxian County, he did not dare to confront him, so he could only order the cities to be defended and not allowed to fight. On 3 April, Maier personally led a force of 5,000 men in the direction of Village 29.
The 5,000 men consisted of the musket unit of Fort Byronsburg, the cavalry of the convoy that had once belonged to Yishan, and the personal guard of Meyer, and the rest were militiamen and civilians who accompanied the army. In the twenty-nine villages, except for the Hundred Village Fort, there is no danger to defend. And the morale of the garrison of Baicun Fort was low, and Maier had saved Twenty-Nine Village from the hands of the evil witch, so his army did not encounter any resistance in Twenty-Nine Village, but only surrounded the city for a long time, and Baicun Fort surrendered.
The people of Village 29 could not bear the oppression of Wei Lin for a long time, and after the surrender of Baicun Fort, they pointed out Wei Lin's property in Village 29 to Meier's army, hoping that they would plunder those places. Seeing that the villagers were overwhelmed, Mair had no choice but to let the soldiers forcibly take over Wehrin's property. During this time, some of Wein's diehards tried to resist, but before the soldiers could do anything, the villagers who led the way picked up sticks and beat them to death.
If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and it should refer to people like Wei Lin. After the invasion of Shangjin County by Byronsburg, Wei Lin's descendants withdrew to Shangjin County. Towns and villages other than the county seat of Shangjin and the city of Limi did not heed Welling's orders at all, and surrendered to Byronsburg.
On 7 April, the 2nd Army Corps arrived at the foot of Mount Rimi. On April 10, the soldiers of the First Army came to the present-day county seat. Both legions selected some soldiers or militia from the surrendered villages and towns to join the siege. Of these, the First Legion received about 6,000 Iraa soldiers, and the Second Legion received only about 2,000 Iraa soldiers.
At the time of Mayr's march to the county, the economic situation and food pressure in Byronsburg were still unabated. Therefore, the instructions given by Meyer were to "fight quickly" and not to drag the war until June, otherwise Byronsburg would not be able to go to Xiaohu until September.
On 11 April, Yanhe launched a tentative assault on Rimijo. Since there were no city walls in Limi City, Wei Xu could only lead his army to battle. Wei Xu only had less than 4,000 standing troops and 2,000 militiamen, and he was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops. However, Yan He did not rely on his own men to launch a strong attack, but only shot a few rounds of arrows at Wei Xu's troops, causing less than 100 casualties to his troops, and then retreated in a hurry.
For the next few days, Yan He kept harassing Wei Xu like this. Wei Xu thought that Yan He was stimulating himself and luring him to take the initiative to attack the Second Legion, and he fought very conservatively every time. On April 15, Wei Xu found that Yan He's troops were suddenly much smaller, and just as he was wondering where Yan He's troops had gone, the city of Rimi was breached by the 1st and 2nd Byronsburg Regiments.
Lan Xian, the deputy head of the First Regiment of Byronsburg, is a close confidant of Lingyu, and she knows the location of the secret passage of the Rimi Shrine. Although the shrine has been burned down, the secret passage cannot be burned. So Lan Xian proposed a plan to let the large army attack Limi City from behind the secret passage, but Yan He didn't want to let Wei Xu and his troops run away, so he only sent two regiments to carry out this plan.
The reason why she launched an attack on Rimi City every day was to attract Wei Xu's attention and make him think that she wanted to attack Rimi City from the front. On April 14, after Yan He withdrew his troops, he asked Lan Ning and Lan Xian to take the first and second regiments from the secret passage to the rear of Limi City. The two regiments rested overnight in the ruins of the Rimi Shrine, and the next day, when Yanhe led his army to confront Wei Xu again, they took the opportunity to capture Rimi Castle.
As soon as Limi City was lost, Wei Xu's troops were in turmoil, and Yanhe took the opportunity to attack. She let the two thousand Ira's soldiers take the lead, and let the 3rd Regiment of Byronsburg follow them. The 1st Regiment of Byronsburg also went out of the city to flank Wei Xu's army, and Wei Xu's soldiers saw that the general situation was gone, and they laid down their arms and surrendered. Seeing this, Wei Xu could only lead the personal guard cavalry to break through,
Among Wei Xu's subordinates, only Danyunhe's troops fought to the death. Yan He recognized Danyunhe from a distance, so he drove forward, hoping that Danyunhe would stop resisting. Dan Yunhe refused, so Yan He directly caught up with Wei Xu, killed fifteen personal guard cavalry in a row, captured Wei Xu alive, and then carried Wei Xu back to the front of the battle, and let Dan Yunhe surrender again.
Dan Yunhe saw that Wei Xu was captured, so he could only surrender obediently. After this, Yanhe sent people to send the captives back to Byrensburg, and then led his army into the city of Rimi to rest. On 25 April, Maier's improvised city defense army arrived at Rimi. These city defenders were all Ira, numbering less than a thousand. At the same time, Mair released Daion, who had been captured from the city of Rimi, and let him continue to govern the city.
After handing over the castle to the city defenders and the Ira soldiers who were willing to take refuge with Mer, Yanhe led the Second Legion to Kamijin Prefecture to join the First Legion. Before the arrival of the Second Army in the county seat of Shangjin, Wehrin had already negotiated with Salin more than a dozen times, and proposed various favorable conditions in the hope that Byronsburg would withdraw its troops. But Salin knew that Welling still owed the Republic of Bukin, and these so-called favorable terms were empty promises.
When Wei Lin saw that Salin did not take the bait, he played the race card with Salin. He told Salin that if Kamijin County was annexed by Byronsburg, then Kamijin County's debt to the Bujin Republic would not be repaid. Salin, however, said that the Bujin wanted an ally, or even a leader, like Mair more than the debts of the county. Wei Lin wanted to bribe Salin, Salin accepted his bribe very happily, and then said to Wei Lin with a bare face: Actually, I am only responsible for leading the troops to fight, and I can't decide other things, so angry that Wei Lin vomited blood on the spot.
Afterwards, Salin sent the bribe that Welling had given him back to Byronsburg, and the money went directly to Yu Changnian without going through Pershing's hands. Yu Changnian got the money and immediately set about building a palace for Meier. Wei Lin was very generous this time, and Yu Changnian found that there would be a surplus of this money after the construction of the palace, so he conveniently allocated the remaining money to the construction fund of the official's residential area.
On May 3, the Second Army Corps arrived in the county seat of Shangjin. On 5 May, an emissary from the Ilibi League arrived at Byronsburg, saying that the Ibibi League was ready for war. As long as Maier sends troops to the Xiaohu family, the Ilibi Alliance will launch an attack on the Xiaohu family. Maier immediately sent men to urge Salin and Yanhe to take the county seat of Shangjin before June.
After receiving the order, Salin and Yanhe launched a fierce attack on the county seat from two directions. Yan He personally went into battle, led the 1st Regiment of Byronsburg to capture a city wall, and managed to capture a city gate. In the process of the soldiers opening the city gate, Yan He was dragged off the battlefield by Lan Ning and Lan Xian at the risk of their lives in order to cover the soldiers who opened the city gate, and the two were also injured.
After the city gate was lost, Welling had his army engage in street fighting with the Byrensburg army in the upper county town. The street fighting was so brutal that on 8 May alone, more than 2,000 soldiers were killed or wounded. The battle lasted until May 10, and finally the Byrensburg army invaded the county mansion, and Wei Lin, seeing that the general situation was gone, immediately wanted to hide the territory of Shangjin County, wanting to exchange these things for his own life.
However, before he could hide his things, the soldiers of Byronsburg caught him in the backyard. Wehrin wanted to hide the territory in a flower bed in the backyard, and when the Byrensburg soldiers stormed into the backyard, he was directing a few die-hard guards to bury the items. After a hard fight with Wehrin's bodyguards, the Byrensburg soldiers took over the backyard and captured Wehrin alive. The soldiers removed the bodies of the dead guards, dug up their unburied belongings, and handed them over to Salin.
After Wellin was captured alive, the soldiers of Shangjin County did not stop resisting, and it was not until May 12 that the Byrensburg army officially occupied the county seat. When the people learned of the fall of Wei Lin, they stood up and scolded Wei Lin and the Wei family, and gathered together, shouting for the Bairensburg army to raid the homes of everyone in the Wei family.
Salin couldn't make a decision on this matter, so he could only send someone to ask Mel. Maier said that since the local people wanted us to raid their homes, then we would do well to follow the will of the people to raid their homes.
After raiding Wellin's property in Village 29, Mayer discovered that Welling had hoarded a large amount of grain and grass here. After interrogating Wellin's cronies, he learned that Welling was secretly selling grain to Bylensburg when the price of food was high. Welling's actions made Maier very angry, so all his property in the village of Twenty-Nine was confiscated by Meier.
After confiscating Wellin's property in Village Twenty-Nine, Maier tasted the sweetness. Now the people of Shangjin County have taken the initiative to ask him to raid the Wei family's home, and he is naturally willing to serve.
I don't know if I don't copy it, and I'm shocked when I copy it. On May 20, Salin compiled an inventory of the assets obtained from the raid and sent the list back to Byrensburg. The numbers on the list made Maier happy to keep his mouth shut, because he no longer had to worry about the resources needed to go to the Xiaohu family.
On 22 May, the 1st and 2nd Corps returned to Byronsburg and arrived at their destination on 30 May. There were no wounded in the troops, because before the war, the First Army had already occupied Kamijin Shrine and asked Kamijin Shrine to send a shrine maiden to treat the wounded for them. However, when Maier personally greeted the heroes who had returned triumphantly, he found Yan He lying on a stretcher covered in bandages, and Lan Ning and Lan Xian standing beside her had very embarrassed expressions.
In fact, none of the arrows in the crane hurt the vital point, and with the recovery ability of the Iraa youkai, the injury can be healed in a few days, and there will be no scars. So there was no doubt that Yanhe was pretending to be a wounded, and she wanted to make Mel notice her in this way, and it would be better if she could make him feel guilty.
But Maier saw through Yan He's disguise at a glance, he pretended to be a condolent Yan He, chatted with Yan He for a few words, and then suddenly turned his head and said in a surprised tone: "Yo, I didn't expect Nami to come too." β
After expanding his territory, Nami Layman had a lot of things to do and didn't have time to meet Yanhe, so Maier was cheating Yanhe. As soon as Yan He heard Namyi's name, he immediately jumped off the stretcher, ran to Maier in three steps and two steps, and looked at the figure of Nami Jushi, all the bandages on his body were torn by her.
Yan He searched for a while but didn't see Nami Jushi, and then he realized that he had been fooled. Although everyone knew that Yan He was pretending to be wounded, the scene was still very embarrassing.
At this time, Salin duly introduced a guest from Kamijin Prefecture to Meier, who was the great shrine maiden of Kamijin Shrine. Zhenxin looks like she is seventeen or eighteen years old, but she is actually only seventeen years old this year. She was the last year to succeed the great witch of the shrine.,The day before the succession, she was just a witch.,She was directly recommended as the long witch on that day.,The next day she succeeded the big witch.,The speed of promotion is faster than that of Lingyu.γ
In April last year, because Kamijin Shrine didn't listen to him, Wei Lin bought off the chief shrine maidens of Kamijin Shrine, asking them to try to kill the great shrine maiden and support someone who could listen to him to be the great shrine maiden. These long witches assassinated the Great Witch according to Wei Lin's orders, and forged a will of the Great Witch, so that the fifteen-year-old Zhu Witch Zhenxin succeeded to the position of the Great Witch.
Zhenxin is one of the subordinates of the long witch, and she is very naΓ―ve to people and things, trusts everyone, and is very controlling, so she made her a great witch. Now that Wei Lin is dead, these long witches must accept the reality that Shangjin County has changed hands, so they send Zhenxin as an envoy to Byronsburg to establish a good relationship with the new owner of Shangjin County.
