On the second day of the fourth month of the second year of Tianshun, Shengjing's Guangfu army, a total of 30,000 people, began to march towards Shanhaiguan. After a few days of marching, we arrived at Shanhaiguan.

After two days of preparation, the attack on Shanhaiguan began.

This attack was carefully prepared.

Luo Xingshan, General Xu Shen, General Qu Shen, Liu Huaide, Liu Fang, Chen Ruiwen, Ma Shangde and other major generals all came to the front line.

The soldiers fought bravely. However, since most of them are recruits. The combat effectiveness is not strong, and the combat experience is lacking. So it's not going well.

After two days of fierce fighting, the Guangfu army killed and seriously wounded more than 8,000 people, but still did not take Shanhaiguan.

Just when the Guangfu army was hesitant and in a dilemma, the hussar battalion of the king of Dongping, stationed at Shanhaiguan, took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. Quietly went out of the customs at night and attacked the Guangfu Army.

The Liberation Army was caught off guard and retreated in a hurry.

The hussar battalion pursued the victory until Zhao Dahai, Xu Mingtao and Feng Kui, who were stationed at Songshan Fort, arrived with their troops, and stopped the hussar battalion's pursuit.

Zhao Dahai's Bu Kuijun was originally trained by the Jia Min Mansion Corps, and it was also equipped with firearms left over from the original government corps.

These firearms are much behind the current firearms of the volunteers. But compared with the Liberation Army and the Hussar Battalion, it is still much more advanced.

The hussar battalion saw that the tactics of the Bu Kui army were very similar to those of the Beihai Volunteers, and they had firearms, thinking that the Beihai Volunteers had arrived, so they withdrew to the pass.

Zhao Dahai took advantage of the victory to pursue, and arrived near Shanhaiguan, and the two sides confronted each other again. The situation is back to where it started.

Shengjing's Guangfu army lost more than 10,000 people in this battle, so it had to return to Shengjing to rest.

After this battle, the 3rd Brigade of the Beihai Volunteer Army started and followed the route of the 4th Brigade to Niuzhuang in southern Liaoning.

After arriving at Niuzhuang, the station was sealed off, and outsiders were not allowed to approach.

The 3rd Brigade is here, in fact, for training.

This training was different from the previous ones, sleeping during the day and training at night.

This training was a landing drill at night.

Three days after the 3rd Brigade was deployed, the 4th Brigade was also deployed.

They took the route taken by the Third Brigade when they came, leaving Shengjing, passing through Xishuitai and Tongyang Fort. Phoenix, Anping City, and then Dadonggou.

In Dadonggou, night landing training was also conducted.

On 21 April, Jia Min invited Chang'an, Luo Xingshan, and other generals of the Guangfu Army to Guanxiangtun for a meeting to study how to attack Shanhaiguan.

The last time he attacked Shanhaiguan, Jia Min ignored it, and the army was defeated, but Jia Min ignored it, as if he had nothing to do with him.

Therefore, Luo Xingshan and others were a little dissatisfied with Jia Min.

However, due to their own defeat, the previous situation was basically fought by Jia Min, and they would have to rely on Jia Min in the future, so they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to endure it.

This time, Jia Min took the initiative to discuss with them, and he felt a little strange.

By the time several people arrived, the commanders of the North Sea side had already arrived.

In addition to Wei Ruolan, Chen Yeqing, Jia Lian and the regiment commanders of the Volunteer Army, all the generals of Wendula also came.

Although the cavalry of Wendura in the north and south is now under the banner of the Liberation Army, they only obey Jia Min's command in action.

Chang'an's side also knew what to do, and never tried to mobilize them to do anything.

The guest and host sat down, and Wei Ruolan spoke.

"At present, Chen Yejun's Second Brigade has broken through into the hinterland of Fushan and made peace with Qin Zhong's First Regiment. At present, in Heze, Cangzhou will be attacked in the near future, and after Cangzhou is taken, Baoding will be attacked. ”

"Chu Yuanjibu, which is currently in the territory of Zhili, is advancing northward."

"Northwest Zhou Tong, He Jialin is approaching Niangzi Pass, and Ma Qingshan's department has captured Zhangjiakou. Yue Qifeng is currently in Datong, and it won't be long before he will be forced into Zhili. ”

"At present, the entire south has been basically pacified by the Volunteer Army, and the vast majority of the northwestern provinces have declared their support for the Dade Dynasty. Li Gan of Bashu was trapped in Bashu and easily did not dare to go out of Sichuan. So, now is the time for the decisive battle. ”

"Our combat mission in the northeast direction is to capture Shanhaiguan, open the gate to the imperial capital, and then approach the imperial capital."

"The task of capturing Shanhaiguan was jointly undertaken by the Shengjing Volunteer Army and the Wendula Cavalry of the North and South. The Shengjing Guangfu Army Jiasongshan Fort and Ningyuan garrison sent a total of 30,000 troops, 30,000 cavalry in the north and south of Wendula, and a total strength of 60,000 troops. ”

"Tianshun's garrison at Shanhaiguan, known as 60,000 people, secretly transferred 10,000 people a few days ago because of the tight situation in Zhili. After removing their empty quota of nearly 10,000 people, the total strength of the defenders at Shanhaiguan is about 40,000. The ratio of enemy strength to enemy is two to three. ”

"On April 28, the Wendula cavalry of the north and south will land on Qinhuangdao and launch an attack on Shanhaiguan from the rear of Shanhaiguan. They will be armed with a certain number of field guns, fast Franco cannons. ”

"The Guangfu Army of His Royal Highness Shengjing Chang'an will attack from the front of Shanhaiguan. Strive to take one day to take Shanhaiguan. ”

"The time for the attack was set for the twenty-eighth hour of April. The battle plan has been drawn up, and it will be sent to you in a while, and you can go back and work it out carefully, and then make your own battle plan ....... ”

After Wei Ruolan finished speaking, she began to unfold the map and explain on it.

While explaining, we will answer everyone's questions.

The Shengjing Volunteer Army was obviously surprised by this plan.

However, now that Jia Min took the initiative to put forward the plan, and with the help of the Wendula cavalry, he was naturally very excited.

In fact, they are now more eager than anyone else to take Shanhaiguan.

took Shanhaiguan, and then went west to the imperial capital, in this drama of changing the dynasty, they dared to say that they played an important role.

If they have been wandering outside the gate, waiting for others to capture the imperial capital, they will have no face to see people, and they will not be able to stand up in front of others. Naturally, there is less weight in speaking.

As an army that has been following His Royal Highness Chang'an, such a scene is something they never want to see.

When everyone was almost done, Jia Min began to speak.

"Last time you attacked Shanhaiguan, in fact, I didn't agree with it. The reason is that after the forces from other directions approach the imperial capital, some of the troops in Shanhaiguan will be withdrawn. Wait until their defense is relatively empty before attacking. ”

"You attacked Shanhaiguan, and I didn't stop you. It is also to let you know that the power of the three feudatories is still not to be underestimated. They also have the ability to fight. ”

"It's a loss, but it's not all bad. After all, he still annihilated some enemies, and he also had a certain amount of experience. I believe you can learn a lesson from the re-attack on Shanhaiguan this time. ”

"We, the Beihai Volunteers and the Windula Cavalry, can't stay here forever. In the future, the vast territory of Dade will still depend on you to defend it. ”

"Over the years, Dade has lax armaments and decaying troops, which I believe you can all see, and I don't need to say more. This battle with the three feudatories was also an opportunity for the Dade army to be reborn. I believe that after this battle, you will become stronger. ”

Jia Min said this, and Chang'an was both happy and a little sad when he heard it.

Happily, a decisive battle is about to begin, and the current situation is good, and the overthrow of the three feudatories is just around the corner.

Sadly, once defeated, Jia Min will return to Beihai.

I don't know when my marriage with him will be postponed.

The two places are far apart, and it is difficult to see each other once.

If he becomes the emperor in the future, he will not be able to leave the imperial capital easily. The day of meeting is even more far away.

As for staying together for a long time, it is even more extravagant.

For a while, Chang'an was a little stupid. Jia Min said something, but he didn't even listen to it.

I finally cleaned up my mood and pulled my thoughts back to the present.

"In this battle of Shanhaiguan, there was nothing to do with the 3rd and 4th Brigades. It's not that the 3rd and 4th brigades don't have something to do. Rather, they have a different task. ”

Jia Min said, looked at the crowd, and continued.

"As for what their mission is, it is kept secret for the time being. You don't need to ask Brigade Commander Chen and Brigade Commander Jia either, because they don't know either. ”

After the meeting, individuals went back to prepare for the war.

For Luo Xingshan and others, it was enough to have two strong brigades of Wendula cavalry from the north and south participating in the battle this time. As for the fact that Jia Min came forward to put forward the battle plan, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it at all.

After all, it is to defeat the three feudatories, and this is the main task at the moment.

Chang'an wanted to stay and say something to Jia Min, but there were many preparations before the war, and there were many things waiting for her to make an idea, so she had to go back first.

As for what Jia Min is going to do in this battle, she doesn't have to ask.

She believes that everything Jia Min does is for her good.

With this, it is enough.

The next day, news came from Shengjing.

In the Dade era, the chief university of the military aircraft department of the Yuan Heng Dynasty, Shilu University Scholar and the Imperial History of the Imperial Inspectorate Yang Kui, secretly came to Shengjing and made peace with King Beijing and Ji University.

Another day later, Yin Xiutonggui and Xie Kun, the former commander of the Shuntian Mansion, arrived in Shengjing from Beihai.

The two arrived at Guan Xiangtun first, and after meeting Jia Min, they arrived in Shengjing, went to meet with King Beijing and Ji Daxue, and defected to Chang'an.

At this point, the important old ministers of the Yuanheng Tianzi era of the Dade Dynasty, and some important ministers represented by the King of Beijing and the scholar of Lu University, all gathered around Chang'an.

On April 23, Chang'an issued a document officially listing the list of the most important traitors.

The list includes: puppet emperor Han Tiandou, puppet king Li Guozhong, Han Tiankui, Gao Wangshan, Song Kuan, Han Qi, Li Gan, Luo Qihua, Sun Tongren, Jia Yucun, Luo Musheng, Hou Xiaolian, Xiao Daozhong and other 46 people.

Li Yuan, the former secretary of the military department, is dead, and the king of Dongping died of illness last month, so he is not included in it.

On April 25, the cavalry of Wendula in the north and south divided into two parts, and arrived at Dadonggou and Niuzhuang respectively, where they met with the 4th and 3rd Brigades of the Beihai Volunteers, which had previously trained here.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Dadonggou wharf was brightly lit and busy, and the 4th Brigade and the North Windula cavalry began to board.

Jia Min, Wei Ruolan, Jia Lian, Shaq, and Wadagasi sat in the cabin.

"Chief Min, this is about to leave, this time you can tell us where the third and fourth brigades went, right?"

Shaq couldn't hold it anymore.

Looking at the eager eyes of several people, Jia Min smiled slightly.

"I'll tell you."

"Where to go?"

"Ruolan, you better tell them."

Wei Ruolan took a slow sip of tea.

"We landed in Tianjin Wei and smashed the imperial capital!"
