Since he has made detailed inquiries, he naturally does not dare to hide his secrets, in fact, Liu Jiye, who was born in the old border army of Daizhou, is quite familiar with this

In Liu Jiye's mouth, the seven towns of Yanbian in the Northern Dynasty, Datong Town is one of the two major defense points of Yunzhong Dao, and this winning army is one of the few trump cards in Datong Town and even Yunzhong Dao.

Its equipment and personnel, experience and literacy, even if it is the rather tenacious Jiuyuan Army, it can only be regarded as second-rate compared to it. That is, the old third army of Anton's camp, which can be compared with it.

According to the consistent naming convention of the Northern Dynasties military number, the military order of the garrison nature is generally named after the permanent location, such as the Jiuyuan Army and the X-State Army, which are not requisitioned and cannot be requisitioned;

Only the elite field units of mobile nature under the command of various military towns will be given a variety of special names of commendation, military branches and regions, such as the Huangliang cavalry and the Ping Navy that they have fought before, and they can cross the border to attack the enemy under the coordination of the large military region.

Only a very small number of veteran powerhouses with outstanding records are eligible for additional titles, such as Chang Sheng, Yongwu, Guanxian, etc., which have considerable autonomy in the combat area and are regarded as the final hole card and key.

And Yunzhou, where this victorious army was stationed, was also the last barrier to prevent and curb the covetousness of the princes outside the Saiwai, outside the Baishan Mountain and the Cowhide Pass, that is, the vast grassland between the Duhufu and the Jinwei Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, as well as the riverside fortresses of the princes outside the Saiwai Domain.

Therefore, the Changsheng Army is also one of the few basic points and supports for the Northern Dynasties' annual preparation for autumn defense and spring hunting.

Since Emperor Chengguang returned to the west more than 100 years ago, and after the selection of elite soldiers in Beijing to rebuild the border points, except for a small number of Gyeonggi rotation needs, this ever-winning army has never been organized and has never left the town.

Compared with the long-term garrison and local gate-based Yanbian towns, this victorious army is one of the few veteran troops that can pass through the rotation system of Guò and Luodu, while maintaining sufficient mobility and new blood, and is full of aggression and has complete control and influence.

Therefore, this centaur is also an important storage and mobile force for those large and small generals in disguised deterrence and counterbalance Yanbian. Just like the Jiangmen family from which Liu Yanqing was born, he is also afraid.

Similarly, no matter how the military strength of Yanbian in the past dynasties, including Datong Town, was weakened and withdrawn, as long as the banner of the Changsheng army was planted there for a day, the princes outside the Saiwai in front of them would not dare to act rashly.

But this time, it became an establishment and appeared on the battlefield in Hebei, which undoubtedly made Liu Jiye, who was also born in the border state of Daijun, quite emotional and shocked.

According to the meaning of his repeated emphasis and explanation to me, it is probably a little unbelievable that the situation in Luodu has deteriorated and is so anxious that it is necessary to give up the defense of the border fortress to fill the need for emergency relief on the inside line.

You must know that from the border plug of Yunzhong Road to Hebei, you need to cross most of the Hedong Road and experience a long journey between large areas of lofty mountains and mountains, which also means that the order to transfer and pull out has been delivered to Zhubian many days ago.

Hearing this, my expressions and thoughts, which were originally a bit disapproving because of the victory over the other party, slowly converged.

Although before the crossing, I was only a military house with a wide range of interests, but I still have the basic vision and overall situation that I have cultivated in my military career over the years.

For the commander of the southeast road within the all-out fierce battle, this may be great good news that the Northern Dynasty has been exhausted and needs to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall to maintain the battle line.

However, compared to me, who was leading the troops in Hebei, it was a certain sense of crisis and urgency that bore the brunt of it. Who knows, how many side plug points have been abandoned, and all efforts have been mobilized to mobilize internal defense.

As Liu Jiye's position, he obviously thinks more about the tragic situation of life in Yanbian after the collapse of the anti-blocking system, and I am more concerned about the safety and prospects of this army.

After all, in this strange place, I led my troops in a hurry to fight all the way, and the information and information channels I could obtain were still too few, and the good things of taking advantage of the situation to pick up cheap ones could not be bumped into again and again for us.

So, I was once again firm in my determination to speed up and return to Henan's controlled district.

In this mood and self-planning, it only took me half a day for my formation to arrive at the Xindu City where Hebei Xingtai is located without any obstacles.

Compared with the head of the city, which is like facing the great enemy, the battalions of the Northern Army stationed outside the city have been defeated and dispersed by the deviant division I sent.

After the follow-up brigade arrived, they were forced to surrender and capture at least nearly 10,000 people. It was only in the city that it seemed to react, and suddenly there was a tendency to be ready to move.

Then, I asked people to defeat the captured banners of the Northern Army on the side of the Zhanghe River, and after piling up like a hill in front of the north gate, the momentum and atmosphere of the city head that were eager to try and shout and shout in all kinds of battles were immediately diminished in front of them.

Although we had sent a roundabout horse team to attack in the early stage, and the attempt to feint to capture the gate was unsuccessful, in the camp outside the city of Shinto, we still harvested a large number of materials and equipment that had not had time to be moved into the city or burned, as well as the most precious horse material at the moment.

That's right, it's horse feed, because of the long-distance war, all kinds of mobile war horses and livestock, are quite obvious, therefore, all kinds of forage beans are expensive, especially in the consumption of basic ammunition and soldier rations.

This is a new situation that we have not considered enough, after all, we have become accustomed to large-scale infantry combat with logistical support.

Now the headquarters I brought across the river, plus the "Xingzhou Army" recruited in the later period, there are more than 20,000 people, holding more flags, using the old camp in situ, and the formation outside the Xindu City does not look good.

However, the victorious army that left the battlefield and did not know where to go, inevitably became my heart disease and hidden worry.

After being stationed, it is necessary to seize the time to rectify military discipline and sort out the interior, and then talk to his subordinates on the matter of retiring the troops, and unify their thinking within a small area at the upper level.

During this period, the troops expanded too quickly, and some of them suffered from indigestion, and they were hurriedly pulled to Hebei to fight deep into the enemy's territory, often going out in several ways, so the control from top to bottom was relaxed, and as a result, there were many incidents of new recruits violating discipline.

However, what is more gratifying is that it is mainly concentrated in the auxiliary army and stragglers, and it is mostly seen for privately carrying property, indulging in the looting of his subordinates, failing to return within the time limit, and gambling in the army.

At this time, the role of the soldiers' committee came into play, and unless there were some misdemeanors that were not prosecuted during the war, it would be difficult for them to escape mutual prosecution. After the public trial executed more than a dozen people with notorious deeds, punished with canes and whips, and punished hundreds of people with hard labor, because of the long-term exile of war, and some loose atmosphere in the army, they were finally eliminated.

On the other hand, after I made this decision openly and honestly, I could clearly feel the happiness and relief between Xin Jiaxuan's eyebrows and eyes, even Zhao Long, who was the most eager to fight, was no exception.

I am not an arbitrary person, but if it is a matter that I have made up my mind, with my prestige and influence in the army, it will be difficult for others to reverse and correct it, and most soldiers are blindly obedient and optimistic.

In fact, after seeing the walls of Xindu City, I already felt that after fighting in the eleven prefectures of Hebei and squeezing through tens of thousands of enemies, most of them had reached an upper limit mentally and physically, and they were no longer very moved in the face of high walls and deep trenches.

Although they have been inspired by the Battle of the Zhanghe River, their morale and mental state are still quite considerable and sustainable, and there is even a certain kind of blind optimism and confidence, looking forward to how much they can get after they conquer the capital

But under my patrol observation, I felt that it was more like a kind of excitement before the fire was about to burn out. If you continue to fight, it is estimated that everyone will really become the end of the strong crossbow.

However, even if the tone of the retreat is decided, it is necessary to have the corresponding skills and sequence, so as not to turn the retreat into a disaster with heavy losses, especially when it is difficult to understand the enemy when it is deep into the enemy's territory.

Especially in the case of a fortified city and a defender in front of him, and an unknown enemy army outside, a reasonable and orderly organization and planning, although it cannot be said that it can deal with a situation, at least minimize the expected losses.

Therefore, under the arrangement we preliminarily agreed, we first dispatched two auxiliary army brigades with relatively large casualties, led by Han Shunfu, to directly pass through the relatively empty Beizhou with the relatively valuable booty and accumulated wounded, and join up with the fourth battalion in Weizhou that remained at the ferry port on the north bank, and by the way, organize corresponding transport ships from the opposite shore to send half of the battalion on the south bank.

Then, with this half of the battalion and the auxiliary brigade, the new force of the fourth battalion was rotated and entered the territory of Beizhou with great fanfare, as the foreign aid and reception of the southward movement of the formation.

The rest of the men continued to collect building materials, repair the camp, dig trenches and fill the earth, and make a posture that they were ready to attack and determined to besiege for a long time.

In fact, the essence of most sieges is to enclose the main entrance and exit represented by the city gate, so we directly dug the entry site in front of the city gate into a defense line covered by cascading ravines.

As a result, this arrangement was immediate, and the marching army in the city at night launched a tentative surprise attack, but it was a pity that our army had a flying boat (primitive hot air balloon), a big killer weapon for vigilance and observation, plus a preset mine, and the incoming enemy army was discovered before he had touched half the distance.

Then there were the alarmed sergeants, and according to the drill line, they went down the fence and carried out multiple rounds of fire reconnaissance in the direction of the enemy according to the pre-planned shooting boundary mark, and then, immediately after the catapult projected the burning fire pot into the darkness, and after the landing deflagration, it naturally illuminated the enemy's attack route.

By daybreak, the other side had left behind at least thousands of corpses and wounded, and fled along the city wall into another gate.

On the third day, which was in the midst of a tense and busy situation, I received news again that a messenger had been sent to negotiate with Hebei Xingtai in the city.
