After discussing with Zhu Zhen, Feng Qingfeng decided to withdraw the army fifty miles east and stationed in the place where the three rivers would flow, Feng Qingfeng secretly reported the military situation to Wang Feng, and put all the responsibility for the defeat on Meng Ming, accusing him of taking the enemy lightly and not listening to dissuasion.

For Meng Ming's raid, Yang Hao had already expected that the information came from the intelligence room hidden in the inner line of the surrendered city, but Yang Hao was still extremely shocked by the dozens of beacon towers along the river at the same time, if it wasn't for the inner line to send back the information in advance, wouldn't he have been a prisoner of Meng Ming in a daze.

He had already heard of Meng Ming's name, and the chaos of the Tiande Army made Meng Ming, who had been unarmed and engaged in business, become famous in one fell swoop, he first helped the White Water Fox to bring down Wu Guihao, and then joined forces with Wang Feng to assassinate the White Water Fox, and set up Wang Ben to take charge, turning the clouds and rain, invincible, and fully worthy of the reputation of the first general of the Tiande Army,

Wang Feng sent his most trusted general and the most elite soldiers of the three battalions, this is a desperate way of playing, with the current situation of the Tiande Army, this is not a good choice, but Yang Hao now has the capital, this kind of gambling game, he has disdain,

On the day that Meng Ming was captured, he immediately ordered the same staff general Park Eun-joon as the main general, with Suo's broken battalion as the main backbone, and transferred 40 posts from each battalion to form the Feng'an Brigade, and crossed the river to the east to conquer the Tiande army, and the purpose of the eastern expedition was threefold: first, to drive Wang Feng out of power and support the moderates to come to power; second, occupy various strategic points in the territory of the Tiande Army, such as Datongchuan, Muna Mountain, Huyan Valley, Zhongshou City, etc., to guard against the barbarian black department; Third, capture Wuliuwan, the base of the Tiande Army's naval division, and force the Tiande Army's naval division,

At this time, the Tiande army still has nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the Feng'an brigade is less than 5,000, and the disparity in strength is nearly doubled, but the battle of Feng'an has proved that the elite of the 3,000-day German army is like a papier-mâché tiger, and it is vulnerable to a single blow, not to mention the old, weak, sick and disabled in the rear of the Tiande army.

Yang Hao's confidence in the victory of the Eastern Expedition also stems from the mastery of the terrain and folk customs of the Tiande Army, when the troops were sent to quell the chaos of the Tiande Army a few months ago, the intelligence room surveyed every inch of the Tiande Army at zero distance, and drew the map in detail.

Yang Hao is most worried about the northwest direction, since half a month ago the wolf army in the vicinity of the boulder fort after a few laps, suddenly disappeared without a trace, which made Yang Hao both surprised and more nervous, these days along the border battalion reconnaissance team scouts out of the horse, everywhere to probe, the intelligence room in the Uighur territory of the secret agent from forty people, surged to three hundred, all kinds of means exhausted, but just can't find out where this army of 20,000 people is,

In order to guard against the surprise attack of the Heavenly Wolf Army, Yang Hao took the Tiger Battalion as the main backbone, and transferred the cavalry of Yongfeng, the Second Police, and the Third Battalion of Fengzhou to form the Yongfeng Brigade, appointing Yu Chongchong as the main general and Wang Qun as the deputy general, with a total strength of 1,500 people in the whole brigade, stationed in Yongfeng as a mobile force to support the border.

……

The Eastern Expeditionary Army is like a bamboo, dozens of military villages in the territory of the Tiande Army, the Tiande Army has been war-torn repeatedly, the people are determined, the soldiers have no will to fight, the people are even more disgusted with the war, where the Feng'an Brigade goes, the village unity soldiers do not resist at all on the surrender or escape of the whole village, after repeated defeats, in order to save the defeat, Wang Feng decided to make a desperate bet, he handed over the main force of the Ya Army and the four main regiments of the front army, a total of 2,000 people to Wang Yun and Wang Bi brothers, and ordered the two to fight to the death with the Feng'an Brigade in the south of Mu Na Mountain,

This is the toughest opponent encountered by the Eastern Expeditionary Army since the start of the war, at this time, the Feng'an Brigade has grown to more than 7,000 people after receiving part of the surrender of the Tiande Army, 7,000 against 2,000, the decisive battle is ripe, Park Eunjun and Suo E-e decided to concentrate their forces to face the battle head-on, completely crushing the morale of the Tiande Army,

After the two armies set up their positions, the Tiande army sent a small group of light cavalry to cross the border to harass, and the Feng'an brigade also used crossbow arrows as dense as raindrops, and the light cavalry harassed did not take any advantage, and the longbow team of the Feng'an brigade immediately began to attack the Tiande army's main formation, causing a period of chaos.

Park Eun-joon ordered the left and right sentry cavalry to start harassing in a roundabout way, and at the same time dispatched his killer weapon, the armored infantry formation,

The armored infantry array is modeled after the Hedong Army's "iron shield armor", the number is nearly five hundred, half of the armor is captured from the Hedong Army, half is imitated by the Ordnance Department of the Xining Army, and the "iron shield armor" is mainly used to deal with the infantry army and capture the camp is different, the main opponent of the armored infantry formation of the Xining Army is the cavalry, in addition to the iron shield equipped with nearly one person high, the scimitar knife suitable for hand-to-hand combat, but also equipped with a spear and hook gun,

Of course, if you want to win on the battlefield, you can't rely on the infantry alone, there are archers and longbows behind the armored infantry formation, and on the left and right are the "armored cavalry", the armor on the "armored cavalry" is thicker than the light cavalry, lighter than the heavy cavalry of the Kurub family, and the "iron-faced machine" in the middle of the Uighur forest is roughly at the same level.

In the first year of Kaicheng, Park Eun-jun was ordered to attack the middle of the forest, and after the victory, he used the captured "iron mask machine" to form two iron mask battalions, and then because he was suspicious of Yang Hao, he was transferred back to the rear of Feng'an, and the iron mask battalion was immediately disbanded.

After the war, he instructed the General Staff Department to study and form his own heavy armored infantry army, Park Eun Joon carefully studied the "iron shield armor", and believed that this kind of heavy infantry was more suitable for fighting with the infantry army or used to seize the field camp, and used to deal with the cavalry had too many shortcomings, he proposed to combine the heavy armored infantry army, crossbowmen, and armored cavalry, and make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses to form a new tactical unit that can not only cooperate with the army to act together, but also fight independently, armored infantry formation,

Yang Hao adopted his advice and authorized him to start building the army, Park Eun Joon exhausted his efforts to build the first armored infantry formation, although the army was still short, and the cooperation between them was not very tacit, but in the previous exercises and all the actual battles after the start of the Eastern Crusade had shown its great power, the armored cavalry copied the "Iron Mask Jile" and the creativity of the Kulub heavy cavalry, the war horse wore a mask, and the mask was painted with a skull,

The armored infantry beat drums, smashed shields, and shouted, challenging the Tiande army, and the Tiande cavalry began the first wave of impact,

The armoured infantry stood in position, and beyond the iron shield stood a dense rainforest of spears, and hooked sickles and chopping axes loomed at the bottom.

On the eve of the infantry and cavalry confrontation, the archers on both sides desperately poured arrows on each other's positions, killing and wounding the enemy and dampening morale.

The heavy armor and iron shield of the foot soldier can effectively reduce the damage brought by the opponent's bow and arrow, and the danger is reduced, and the morale will be high, and vice versa, the longbow can kill the enemy from a distance, but the actual damage it brings is far less than the morale of the opponent.

The result of the fierce confrontation of the infantry and cavalry was the complete victory of the armored infantry formation, and the cavalry that rushed into the infantry formation was devoured mercilessly, the armor soldiers beat the drums, smashed the shields, and continued to shout earth-shatteringly, and the longbow team in the rear of the Xining army still tirelessly spread arrows to the opponent's camp from a long distance, adding fuel to the enemy's already fragile battlefield psychology, and the two sentry cavalry created a series of chaos on the two flanks of the Tiande army,

Wang Bi was busy fighting fires everywhere, he advised Wang Yun to calm down, but Wang Yun couldn't hold his breath, he brandished a big axe and led the Tiande army and horse army to start the charge, Wang Bi couldn't persuade him, so he had to order the whole army to assault, the decisive moment finally came, the armored infantry formation began to evolve from a long snake formation to a square and four circle formation, hundreds of soldiers surrounded a huge circular hedgehog formation, in the middle was an archer, on all sides were heavily armored, infantry with shields and spears, and the armored cavalry on both wings quickly dispatched and detoured back to the enemy's two wings, Like two iron fists suddenly smashing into the charging Wang brothers,

At the same time, Park Eun-joon ordered the other battalions to outflank the armored infantry formation, and inserted diagonally into the enemy formation from both sides, dividing the Tiande army, so that its head and tail wings could not be taken into account, and in a quarter of an hour, the Tiande army was already defeated, Wang Yun was ashamed to commit suicide, and was dragged by Wang Bi, and the two fled eastward with only their guards, and when passing through a mountain pass, they fell into a horse trap and were captured by the Xining sergeants who were ambushed,

The two were immediately escorted to Park Eunjun and Suo E, who grabbed Wang Yun's clothes and scolded: "You killed Brother Qin An, I want you to pay for your blood debt." Wang Yun was not afraid at all: "Qin An's head was cut by me, Lao Tzu is going to kill Yang Hao, don't you cut off my head." Suo E was speechless for a while, and Park Eunjun said: "Second brother, don't be impulsive, this military disaster was provoked by Xiao Qingyi and Wang Feng at the behest of the eunuchs, and it is the day when the misunderstanding will always be resolved, so if you kill me and I will kill you, wouldn't it be the trick of the eunuchs." Suo E threw away his hand hatefully and shouted: "You heard, it was provoked by the eunuchs, and you were all used by Wang Feng's gang." ”

Wang Yun sneered: "Hugh wants to provoke here, Qin An has recruited everything." Suo Er sneered: "This guy is really an elm head, Wang Feng has to find an excuse to rebel, Qin An fell into his hands, it is not easy to write a fake confession and press a handprint, such a trick can only be a three-year-old child, but you believe it." ”

Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, and was about to argue, but Wang Bi muttered: "Thirteen, what General Suo said is also reasonable, doesn't my uncle believe this confession, I have always felt that this matter is a little strange, Wang Feng hates that his mother has been committed to the white water fox, and he has never gone to the ancestral ancestral hall for fear of being coldly looked down upon by the clansmen, why is he present this time, and his uncle was assassinated, there must be something strange in this." ”

Park Eun-joon helped Wang Bi up, and said comfortingly: "Right and wrong, there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed, the two generals have been defeated, and it is inevitable that they will be poisoned by Wang Feng when they go back at this moment, so please temporarily rest in the camp and send the two back when the future war disaster subsides." Wang Bi said: "If my uncle is really Wang Feng's murder, he must have taken refuge in the eunuch, this person is really a big trouble for my Tiande army, if the general can trust my brother, let me go back, my brother will give the general an explanation." ”

Park Eunjun said: "Okay, in this case, Park will send the two back." Then he called for the horses to be brought in, and returned the weapons and armor of the two men, and saw them depart.

Suo E looked at the backs of the two and asked Park Eunjun puzzled: "It took a lot of tossing to catch the two, isn't the eldest brother afraid that they will backtrack." ”

Park Eun-joon pointed to a messy battlefield and said with a smile: "The main force of the Tiande army is all here, what can you do if you let the two of them go back, I can see that Wang Bi is very suspicious of Wang Ben's death, let him go back Maybe they can pinch it up themselves, and let them open the city gate by themselves, and they can also save the lives of many brothers." Suo Yi smiled: "Big brother is really smart, I don't blame the adults for reusing you, it's just that I don't know a little, the adults originally suspected that you want to support the army and stand on your own, why do you rest assured that you will lead the army to the battle, he is not afraid ......"

Park Eun-joon stopped him and sighed: "At this time and that time, the Xining Army has now become his Yang Family Army, even if you and I have different intentions and are unarmed, what can we do." "Suo Yi thought about it, although he is the commander of the army, but his sentry commander and captain are all appointed by Yang Hao personally by the Military and Political Department, if he is against him, I am afraid that these people will rise up first and make their own rebellion, and there are still supervisors in the camp who are staring at themselves all the time, and if there is a slight change, Yang Hao will know that in addition to the prison army placed in the open, there is also the eyeliner of the inner temple in the dark, how difficult it is to rebel.

Park Eun-joon saw that Suo was stunned, so he slapped him: "Don't think nonsense, Fengzhou can only have him as a big tree, if you have an idea, you should go to his house." Suo Yi hurriedly shook his head and said: "What does the eldest brother say, the younger brother can only eat under the hands of others, and besides, what is good about doing it alone, not only has the heart to it endlessly, but also worries and fears all day long, I can't say that I will find that my head is gone when I get up early that morning." ”

Park Eun-joon said: "Since this is the case, then settle down and work hard, the glory and wealth of this half of my life still can't run away." Suo E grinned: "It turns out that the eldest brother is testing me, have you entered the inner temple?" Park Eun-joon kicked him: "I entered the inner temple with the staff general, and my head was almost kicked by a donkey." ”

The lieutenant of the Chinese military came to ask for instructions: "The army is ready, please ask General Park to show me." ”

Park Eun-joon said: "Immediately open and capture Wuliu Bay." ”

Suo E pointed to the mountain of armor and equipment in surprise and asked, "Leave so soon, what should I do, don't do any of this." Park Eunjun bent down and picked up a horizontal knife equipped by the Tiande army, and the blade of the knife was bent with a force, so he smiled and said: "It's all inferior goods, what's the use of him, go back and scatter it to the local people, the knife and gun are in the hands of the people of the Tiande army, it is more beneficial to us than in the hands of the Wang family." ”

……

Wuliuwan is the base of the Tiande Army Naval Division, the Yellow River concave down a river bay to the north bank here, a stream originating from Mu Na Mountain just flows into the river bay, the terrain on both sides of the creek is flat, the land is fertile, the green trees and yellow flowers reflect each other, when Wang Ben originally selected the site for the Tiande Army Naval Division to build a base, because he saw that the mountains and rivers are back here, the scenery is quiet, it is the seclusion in his mind, so he casually read a poem of Tao Yuanming's "drinking", and later the subordinate officials came to ask Wang Ben to name this place, Wang Ben said: "Call it Wuliuwan." ”
