Chapter 506: Southern Theater of Operations, Suzaku Group
Ye Qing's words are still so infectious!
The soldiers above and below the city burst into tears when they heard this.
No emperor has ever said that the Great Zhou belongs to the people of the Great Zhou.
It's their own.
Although the Great Zhou is their home country.
But ordinary people, just people.
Only the nobles could consider the Great Zhou to be theirs.
"Into town!"
Ye Qing turned around and said to Zhang Sanfeng and Li Xunhuan.
The gates slowly opened.
All the soldiers looked at him, and their eyes showed a lot of respect.
My heart also began to be heroic.
Da Zhou has two more six-grade powerhouses, and Da Zhou is even stronger.
The more strong people above the sixth grade, the more Da Zhou will not be bullied.
Even the powerful Chu Yue did not dare to send troops to attack the Great Zhou easily.
Other nations dare not covet it.
Although the army of Chu Yue was defeated, it retreated.
However, Ye Qing still did not leave the South City Gate.
Soon the two war reports came.
"Report! Yu Xinjun, the West City Gate won a big victory, the enemy general Xiang Yang led the team to escape, the crisis in the West City was lifted, and countless enemies were killed! ”
"Report! Yu Xinjun, the East City Gate won a big victory, the enemy general Chang Wu led the team to escape, the East City crisis was lifted, and countless enemies were killed! ”
The good news came one after another, which boosted morale.
Ye Qingdao: "Deliver the good news to the people in the city, and celebrate with the whole world!" ”
Sky! Gradually shine brightly.
All the fighting subsided.
But the murderous aura in the air was still pervasive.
The sky was bright.
The messy battlefield outside the city is even more shocking.
Da Zhou Minzhuang began to appear to clean the battlefield outside the east and west cities.
South Gate.
Ye Qing didn't send anyone out, so he stayed like this.
He needed to get the specific casualty figures of Chu Yueguo, as well as the news of the retreat.
In the camp of the Chuyue army, the various departments were collected back.
One by one, they hung their heads.
The generals were killed and wounded, and the commander was killed.
They were utterly defeated.
With the current strength alone, it is impossible to fight.
"How's it going?"
Xiang Yang asked.
Jing Tian's henchmen glanced at everyone and replied bitterly: "All departments are gathered up...... We still have ...... 72,000 people, of whom 20,000 were wounded! ”
300,000 troops entered the Great Zhou.
Now there are 70,000 left.
Another 20,000 were wounded.
It's miserable.
Lost too much.
Even the Chang'an City of the Great Zhou did not attack it.
If it is attacked, it is desirable that there will be so many casualties.
In the entire military tent, the atmosphere was depressing and quiet to the extreme.
After a long time, King Chang asked, "Where is Qu Shuai's army?" How long will it take to come over? ”
"The main force of Qu Shuai's army has not yet entered the pass, and the vanguard should have entered the Wuguan!"
The officer in charge of liaising with the rear replied truthfully.
"In other words, there are at least two days left to reach Chang'an."
The march of a large army is no faster than that of a small army.
Not fast at all.
"Retreat temporarily, before noon, the Hedong Army of the Great Zhou should arrive, with our current morale, we will not be able to block the opponent's attack!"
"Yes, I agree with the withdrawal of troops to Lantian County, backed by Lantian Valley, as long as we maintain the momentum of deterrence in Guanzhong, Chang'an will still belong to our Chu Yue Kingdom sooner or later!"
At this moment, someone came in and said: "The armed forces of Hongnong County of the Great Zhou have come over, all of them are Jianghu forces, mainly the Huashan faction!" ”
This time, the generals of Chu Yue have no opinion.
So the camp retreated south and retreated to Lantian County.
"Xinjun, the army of Chu Yue has retreated!"
Ye Qing looked at the army of Chu Yue Kingdom that was slowly retreating, and his eyes deepened.
"The second wave of Chu Yueguo's army entering the customs will definitely be in two days, and there will not be much time left for us."
"Order, the army rests, the people go out of the city to clean the battlefield, clean up the corpses, and all the people of Chu Yue are burned outside the southern city to avoid the plague!"
"No!"
After giving the order, Ye Qing led everyone back to Xiaoyao Mansion.
Noon!
Good news came from outside the city.
The Hedong Army finally arrived.
An army of 100,000 Qin Kings appeared in Dongcheng.
The army did not enter the city directly.
Ye Qing did not let them all enter the city, but stationed at Baqiao and set up camp.
Di Qing, Huang Zhong, Xue Rengui, Xu Huang and other military generals, as well as Xu Shu, Liu Ji, and Deng Tao, the general of the chariot and cavalry, all entered the city to meet him.
Seeing that all the generals and advisers have arrived.
Ye Qing was even more relieved.
"When I came, it was still smooth, I haven't seen you for a few months, have you slackened the training of the soldiers!"
"Back to Xinjun, it is troublesome to cross the Yellow River, relying on ferries, it took a lot of time, if only there was a bridge." The general of the cavalry, Deng Tao, replied.
Xue Rengui said: "The training of all departments has not stopped, even after the general arrived, he is still training hard.
The soldiers are all vying to serve the empire and win the battle for the country, so the march is very fast! ”
"So it seems that the military spirit can be used."
Ye Qing nodded and said, "Before the second batch of Chu Yue Kingdom's army attacks, everyone should hurry up and build a new battle sequence according to my newly promulgated system." ”
Xu Shu said: "Lord, the battle sequence you newly planned has only nineteen guards, with a total of 96,000 troops, but our soldiers from Hedong have reached 100,000.
And Chang'an originally had ten guards, and the number of troops was no less than 50,000. ”
The others were also puzzled, why not expand the number of guards.
"I thought it was something, but it was." Ye Qing smiled:
"Didn't you notice that the last four guards were named after the four divine beasts?
The four beast masters and the four directions, I want to use these four guards to expand into four war zones, each war zone is responsible for one direction, whether it is defense or offense, the four war zones are responsible for it. ”
Silk!
The name of the Four Divine Beast Guards, it turned out to be where it came from.
Four theaters of operations, each of which is responsible for one direction.
Terrible!
This is more conducive to the cohesion of the armed forces.
And more directional defensive offense.
And not like it used to be, dispatch to dispatch to go.
Make a mess.
"Suzaku is in the south, so now the Suzaku Guard has been expanded into the Suzaku Army, and the Suzaku Battle Flag is given, and the Suzaku Army is divided into one to ten regiments, each with 2,000 people.
When it expanded to more than ten regiments, it was promoted to a group, and the group army was up to twenty-five regiments, that is, 50,000 soldiers! Ye Qing smiled and said:
"Isn't it just right now?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
A military system that is easy to analyze.
A group army of 50,000 people is enough to shepherd and defend one side, whether it is offensive or defensive.
Da Zhou didn't want to be like Chu Yueguo, one time was 300,000, and the second time was hundreds of thousands.
50,000 soldiers, for the Great Zhou, the Book of Scriptures is very much.
"Xie Xinjun!"
Di Qing was overjoyed and immediately came out to thank him.
The Suzaku Group Army, because of this war, was the first group army to be formed.
How could he not be excited.
The first commander who could command and dispatch 50,000 soldiers.
He Di Qing is almost equivalent to the general of the Great Zhou.
What a great honor.
Others are also envious.
In the Southern Theater of Operations, the Vermilion Bird Legion was ordered to be in danger, and it would inevitably become a heavy stroke in the imperial meritorious plan.
"Because the Suzaku Group Army is extremely important, I allow you to select and recruit generals to form the backbone of the Suzaku Group Army in addition to the other eighteen guard generals!" Ye Qing emphasized: "Strategists can also choose one person!" ”
