Of course, including Zhou Shuyuan, everyone didn't know what Luo Yangxing, who was frowning, was thinking?

However, no one cares about this either......

As there were more and more objections of all kinds, Wei Zheng directly shifted his gaze to Sun Chengzong and asked: "Chief of Staff, what do you think, which main force is the best to transfer to reinforce the northwest......

The "Fifth Army ......" was unexpected, and Sun Chengzong also said the same answer as Zhou Shuyuan.

As soon as the words were spoken, the voice of opposition sounded again......

"Chief of Staff, you are the commander of the Fifth Army, do you have any selfish ......motives for letting the Fifth Army go up?"

As an old minister, Sun Chengzong certainly would not allow others to slander him.

As soon as the voice of opposition reached his ears, he opened his mouth and interrupted: "Lord Wang, the reason why I said the Fifth Army, I have a reason, I have absolutely no selfish intentions, please let the Lord know ......."

After receiving Wei Zheng's signal, Sun Chengzong hurriedly spoke......

"The five field armies of the Tiger and Leopard Army, one directly under the guard division, in addition to the guard division, the fourth and fifth armies can be transferred, and the other units have their own tasks, and they cannot be casually transferred ......."

"Guard division, to ensure the safety of the prince and the entire city of Beijing, unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not mobilize ......"

"General Zhao's Fourth Army, since the end of the Korean battle, was transferred by the prince to the coast of Shandong...... With the cooperation of the naval division, the naval landing combat training was conducted...... It's too far away from the northwest, and if you transfer them, you won't be able to get to the northwest in less than a month......"

"The Fifth Army, although it has just experienced a big battle. Even the losses have not been replenished. But. The Fifth Army was the closest army to the northwest...... If you go in the same direction. At most, we can go to the northwest ...... in half a month" "So, from the point of view of time, the Fifth Army is our best choice......"

After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, all those who opposed it forced their mouths......

As for Zhou Shuyuan, who was focused on by Luo Yangxing, a trace of happiness quickly flashed on his face.

Because, when I first came up with this idea, I was tempted by huge interests. There is no reason at all for bringing it up in a hot-headed situation.

And the answer of Chief of Staff Sun Chengzong obviously made up for his own shortcomings, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief......

Faced with this situation, the suspicious expression on Luo Yangxing's face became stronger and stronger.

And Wei Zheng, who listened to Sun Chengzong's reasoning, had already made a decision. Facing Sun Chengzong, he ordered in a firm tone......

"In that case, Chief of Staff, I will work hard for you to be in command again. Expedition to the Northwest ......"

"As for the loss of troops and equipment of the Fifth Army in Houjin, this king immediately ordered. From the north to the garrison regiments, the garrison division will give you a supplement...... Within two days, let the Fifth Army restore its combat effectiveness and prepare for dispatch......"

Dingbian County, located on the border of Shaanxi, was occupied by the Tatars because of continuous riots.

A few years ago, it was a very prosperous county, but at this moment, it has become very depressed......

In addition to a garrison camp of 500 people, there are less than 2,000 left, and the old and weak women and Confucians who are difficult to leave their homeland......

With the outbreak of riots in Gansu and Ningxia, the border county seat and Dingbian have already closed the city gates, and the whole county is under martial law.

The garrison with limited troops, almost all of them eat and live on the city wall, and they are afraid of the chaotic soldiers dozens of miles away, so they take advantage of their own inattention to occupy the county town of Dingbian under their feet.

There is a good saying, that is, whatever he is afraid of, he comes

When the soldiers of the 500 garrison battalion were guarding the county seat of Dingbian in fear, the rebels with tens of thousands of troops really set the target of attack on the county seat of Dingbian.

Because, Dingbian County, which has 500 defenders, not only has the food it needs, but also a large number of firearms that it is very eye-catching.

Overnight, the small county town of Dingbian was surrounded by 50,000 rebellious soldiers, and not even a single bird could fly out......

Of the 50,000 rebels, there are only 10,000 people who really have combat effectiveness. However, the commander of this rebellious army is not an ordinary person......

If it weren't for the riot, she would still have the official hat of the chief soldier of the imperial court on her head.

Of course, that's not the most important thing.

Because the Northwest Doma bandits, this commander named Zhang Zhongming, were able to become the chief soldier of the imperial court, all by virtue of their military exploits, step by step...... And this means that Zhang Zhongming has very rich experience in combat command......

If it is the commander of other rebellious troops, if he has the advantage of troops, he will definitely order those non-descendant troops in the army to launch an attack on the county town regardless of casualties, and fight for their lives, and consume the limited strength of the defenders little by little......"

When the defenders are almost consumed by themselves, they will send their elite descendants to launch the final blow to the county seat and take the county seat in one fell swoop.

After all, in the eyes of most rebellious commanders, the elite is limited, and it is also their own life-saving capital in this troubled world.

However, there are many ordinary rebels...... No matter how many people die in battle, they can be replenished in a very short time.

Therefore, they do not regard ordinary rebels as human beings at all, nor do they regard their human lives as human lives......

But this Zhang Zhongming is different......

He not only regarded all the soldiers under his command as soldiers, but also tried his best to train all 50,000 soldiers into elites.

Therefore, in the face of Dingbian County, which had 500 musketeers to defend, Zhang Zhongming did not immediately order his soldiers to launch an attack and take the county seat with his lives.

Rather, it is based on their own understanding of firearms, creating siege equipment, and striving to achieve maximum results with the least casualties......

In less than half a day, hundreds of siege shield vehicles with thick shields appeared on the battlefield......

Under the cover of shield vehicles, there was no garrison battalion equipped with artillery, and they could only watch the rebels attack step by step to a distance of forty or fifty paces from the city wall.

Then, the rebellious archers hiding behind the shield cart began to throw arrows at the head of the city, covering the siege troops, carrying siege ladders, and launching a final attack on Dingbian County......

Zhang Zhongming's tactical tactics were obviously very effective for garrison battalions that were not equipped with artillery and had limited troops.

The attacking rebels were swept to the ground in pieces by the garrison's guns and grenades.

However, they who held the city wall were also not much better.

The constant rain of arrows falling overhead, like death, kept harvesting their lives......

Even if they have the advantage of equipment, at this time, they can't avoid the death coming to them......

The battle lasted less than half an hour, and most of the 500 soldiers of the garrison battalion were lost.

Although the rebels also lost as many as 1,000 people, this loss was obviously not worth mentioning for Zhang Zhongming, who had 50,000 people.

What's more, because the garrison battalion suffered heavy losses, and just now it was a tight defense, there were already a lot of gaps.

A steady stream of rebels, passing through these gaps, poured up the city walls and began the final battle with the defenders...... (To be continued......)
