Chapter 24: The Wind and the Clouds Rise
Under the iron hooves and sharp arrows of the Flame Army, more than half of the Tianchu garrison suffered casualties, and the whole line fled, and the fierce battle lasted less than an hour, and the world-famous Tiger Prison Pass had already belonged to Dayan.
Achieved such a shocking victory, although the hearts of the Great Yan soldiers were full of pride and joy, but none of them relaxed, according to the order of the king of war, everyone has been invested in the rapid transformation of the city.
Although the Tiger Pass has been taken, the original setting of the Chengguan is on the side of Tianchu, if it is not transformed, then the world-famous Xiongguan will not be able to play the role of defending against the enemy.
The Flame Army has been running for nearly 100 miles, coupled with the fierce fighting just now, and it is basically sleepy and tired, and it is on duty and resting in shifts to deal with the arrival of Tianchu reinforcements at any time.
The 30,000 Great Yan Army is fully engaged in the transformation of the city pass, and the comprehensive transformation is by no means something that can be completed overnight, but first of all, the city gate must be transformed as soon as possible, and the initiative must be in the hands of the Great Yan Dynasty.
All the facilities in the direction of Tianchu will be destroyed at full speed if they cannot be transferred, and the fast passage to the city is also being quickly established in the direction of Dayan, and the transformation of various facilities is in full swing, time is life, and there can be no delay for a moment.
Among these 30,000 people, the busiest is Nangong Wenyuan, who is the commander-in-chief for the transformation of Chengguan, and he is responsible for planning and arranging all work.
10,000 Flame Army, 30,000 Zhenwei Army, at least five days to hold the city pass before the first batch of reinforcements arrive. So these five days are crucial.
And the order of the king of war was that within three days, the transformation of the city gate would be completed, and all the passages in the direction of Tianchu would be destroyed. This is the most basic requirement of the first step, and the rest of the defense arrangements need to be considered in the long run.
When the Tiger Prison was in full swing for rectification and defense, Prince Yun also personally commanded 30,000 cavalry to arrive at full speed, and the mountain road was no better than the plain, and the speed was difficult to expand.
In order to prevent the news from being revealed, except for the 30,000 vanguard troops who quietly moved forward, the rest of the Zhenwei army did not move, and there were no soldiers and horses in the western cities.
Immediately afterwards, the 130,000 Zhenwei Army infantry also moved at full speed, and only 10,000 people were left in the Zhenwei Army camp to temporarily guard the Zhenwei Army camp. In addition, the four main cities of Jiang'an, Bai'an, Lai'an, and Le'an in the west also allocated 30,000 elite soldiers to march towards the Tiger Prison Pass; Ren'an and Tian'an in the central and eastern parts of the country each transferred 20,000 elite soldiers to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the city defense army was lacking, so new recruits were recruited in various localities and training was stepped up. The Huwei Army in the north and the Tianwei Army in the south each supported 50,000 elite soldiers, and immediately rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass.
After the assembly was completed, the Tiger Prison Pass General stationed nearly 500,000 troops, which was the largest group operation in the history of Dayan. It's just that the armies of all walks of life are far and near, and it will take a lot of time to assemble them all. Tiger Prison Pass, Dayan's first step out of Yanzhou is very important and inevitable.
In one day, the tigers are difficult to break the world's strange pass, the tiger prison pass, has changed hands!
The news spread like the wind in the land of Kyushu, and for a while, Kyushu was boiling.
Da Yan, a dynasty that has always been peaceful, has it started to be tough? In recent years, Tianchu's sharpness has been repeatedly frustrated, and now it has won the glory of Tianchu's experience for hundreds of years, what does this mean? Although the major dynasties have been trying to expand their territory, they have not been able to make substantial progress.
Just like the warlike Tianchu, wars are waged most frequently, but more often than not, they plunder strategic materials to feed the war, and do not really expand the territory.
However, now this move of Da Yan is completely different, the Tiger Prison Pass has gone beyond the scope of Da Yan and entered the territory of Tianchu, and it is a gate for Tianchu to face Da Yan, and its importance can be imagined.
In the Tianchu Palace, Xiang Bohong, the king of Chu, has already received an urgent battle report of eight hundred miles, and the Tiger Prison Pass has been lost!
It was like a bolt from the blue, and for a while I didn't believe it was real.
Tianchu's four Xiongguan, that is Tianchu's courage to continue to launch wars against the surrounding countries, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, for hundreds of years, it has been tried and tested.
And now a war report told him that the Tiger Prison was lost, how did he believe it? How dare you believe it?
It is worthy of a generation of emperors, after a short shock, he immediately came to his senses and immediately issued an order, and the 300,000 Qinglong Army immediately set out for battle.
Wulai, Wuguo, Wuping, and Wu, who were close to the eastern border, immediately set out with their entire armies in each city, and at all costs, those who recaptured the Tiger Prison Pass were promoted to three ranks, rewarded with thousands of gold, and sealed the marquis of ten thousand households.
Ordered the prince Xiang Tianba to lead the Xuanwu army of 200,000, and the prince Xiang Tianyu to lead the Vermilion Bird army of 200,000, and immediately set off to the Tiger Prison Pass, known as the million army, and was bound to recapture the Tiger Prison Pass.
At the same time, it was ordered that Wangshan Pass in the south, Chishui Pass in the north, and Yingmen Pass in the west were prepared for first-class combat, and the White Tiger army was divided into three routes and went to the south, north, and west to prevent other countries from taking advantage of the fire to loot.
Tianchu Dynasty, because the border has established four world-famous Xiongguan, so the border garrison is not very many, the four major combat corps battalions are located hundreds of miles away from Wuye City, for the defense of the imperial city, can be described as impregnable.
The four major legions are named after the ancient divine beasts, namely the Eastern Blue Dragon Army, the Southern Vermilion Bird Army, the Western White Tiger Army, and the Northern Xuanwu Army, with 300,000 standing troops in each legion, well-equipped and prestigious. The mobilization of nearly half of the country's army to the Tiger Pass is enough to show the importance of the Tiger Pass.
The major dynasties, each with their own thoughts, are all secretly plotting, the overall situation of the world is about to change, and the land of Kyushu is windy.
The life of the king of Chu was very urgent, and the reward for his military exploits was extremely large. The four cities in the eastern border of Tianchu are close to the water, and they should have earned the first merit, so the four cities were exhausted for a while, and even the basic defense and security had no time to take care of, and they all rushed to be the first, for fear of being taken first by others.
Among them, the nearest Wuguo City is the most crazy, the commander of the city defense army is the son of Prince Xiang Boyun, Xiang Tianxiao, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, has excellent skills, and is known as the courage of ten thousand people, and his cousin Xiang Tianba is extremely speculative, and the relationship between the two is very good.
The so-called things gather by like, people by groups, Xiang Tianxiao is also an acute son who likes to charge into battle, and he doesn't care much about resourcefulness or anything. After receiving the order of the king of Chu, he didn't even return home, but went directly into battle, quickly gathered more than 10,000 cavalry and went straight to the Tiger Prison Pass, and ordered the rest of the infantry to go day and night to catch up quickly.
There are no advanced communication tools, and the communication around the country is all sent by people and horses, which is indeed too delayed, even if the Tiger Prison is lost and the King of Chu sends an order, it is all eight hundred miles of urgent transmission, Xiang Tianxiao sent troops quickly, and the road galloped non-stop, and when he arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, it was already the evening of the fifth day.
When I saw the head of the Tiger Prison Pass, it was already sunset, the sky was getting late, and more than 10,000 cavalry were also sleepy and lacking horses, so they had no choice but to camp on the spot, just waiting for the knock on the pass tomorrow.
