Chapter 172: Establishment of the King (10)

When Tai Yuanyi received a secret report from Black Flag, the 300,000-strong army of Donghu had broken through Mubang. is marching towards Yanchuan Sidu Mansion with bad intentions.

As Yang Qi had originally guessed, it was true that the intelligence of the rebel army was too old.

Mubang has really fallen!

After the loss of Mubang, the army of the Donghu Kingdom and the elite army of the famous general Fan Sheng fought and fought repeatedly in the adjacent sections. As of the day before yesterday, the Imperial Legion had once again paid the price of heavy losses to the two guard regiments, and there was also a serious shortage of food, ordnance, wounds, and medicine. Fan Sheng's hands can still use the formation of troops, as if it is less than 50,000 people.

The elite of 50,000 people!

It still looks like a staggering number.

Although he continued to hold on for a period of time, he could still inflict staggering casualties on the army of the Donghu Kingdom, but Fan Sheng had to face an embarrassing situation: the border defense line was about to be breached.

This section of the defensive line, which is close to the middle of the military fortress, is an important node in the entire fortress system. Once this place was captured, the army of the Donghu Kingdom had a passage to the north.

If Fan Sheng continued to hold on to the border fortresses, the Donghu Kingdom could have divided its army into two parts, one part continued to hold the open gap and confronted the Imperial Army, and the other part drove straight into the road behind the western defense line and went north to enter the two prefectures of Yanchuan County.

In the entire Yanchuan County, although there are still some local troops, they can only delay a little in front of the army of the Donghu Kingdom, and they can't stop their troops at all. At that time, the army of the Donghu Kingdom could completely cut off the food route and retreat of the imperial border army after capturing most of the area of Yeonchuan County.

In the face of the Donghu Kingdom, which has strong enough troops to support the division of troops, the Imperial Legion actually has no other choice.

After the western defense line was dyed red with blood and was about to be broken, Fan Sheng, who knew that this place would be lost sooner or later, chose to give up on his own initiative.

Since the border fortress is meaningless, there is no need for the Imperial Legion to be trapped here. Taking advantage of the cover of night, more than 10,000 wounded soldiers and soldiers who had been defeated and lost their formations withdrew to the checkpoint of Yanchuan along the way.

Subsequently. Fan Sheng showed weakness to the enemy, induced the army of the Donghu Kingdom to attack in a big way, and then fought a fierce counterattack. Take advantage of this chaotic effort. The remaining 40,000 troops completed their retreat preparations overnight and quietly withdrew on all fronts.

When the sky is bright. The army of the Donghu Kingdom attacked again, as if the border fortress of hell on earth had long been empty.

This line of defense, which had repeatedly blocked the Donghu Kingdom's attempts to move north, finally fell into the hands of the Donghu Kingdom!

Because of the intelligence personnel planted by the Black Flag in Yanchuan County, coupled with the great stakes, they hurried overnight, and under the heavy obstruction of the other party, the information was finally sent to Yang Qi.

"The border fortress is lost!"

At this time, the high-ranking generals of the rebel army who came one after another had already received the news.

Although as early as the Neiying rebellion helped the Donghu Kingdom break through the western defense line. Yang Qi once mentioned the Donghu invasion, and the generals were mentally prepared, but at this moment, the generals present still felt great pressure.

Without the barrier of the border fortress, the Donghu Kingdom can cross the border and go north at any time as long as it has an idea.

Yeoncheon County is completely in the range of their military threat.

No one can feel at ease in the face of this powerful and greedy neighbor to the south.

"Prepare to send troops as soon as possible!"

In a depression, Yang Qi, who had been silent since the arrival of the crowd, said such a sentence.

Fan Sheng took the initiative to evacuate with the heavily damaged Imperial Legion, and finally retreated to the border pass of Yanchuan County.

With Fan Sheng's veteran way of using troops, Yang Qi also has reason to believe that the other party has made preparations for clearing the wilderness along the way. This would certainly prevent the Toungoo Kingdom from receiving supplies within its borders, but it would also force the other side to abandon the needless invasion. The army came straight to the county town.

If there are no accidents, the two sides will have a final showdown under the border city!

Either Fan Sheng led a large army and held Tianlong until winter, forcing the Donghu Kingdom to withdraw its troops; Either that, the army of the Donghu Kingdom attacked the city from all sides, forcibly taking the last entrance at any cost, and capturing the entire Yeoncheon County.

If the rebels want to intervene, the chance can only be in this siege battle.

For Fan Sheng, Yang Qi is confident, but he can't completely pin his hopes on the other party being able to hold a pass.

The rebels had to intervene to ensure that the Donghu Kingdom could not advance into Yeoncheon-gun. even fought back in one fell swoop and beat them back to their hometown.

The generals of the rebel army who were present. The same is true for the deteriorating situation.

As a result, more than 4,000 elite rebel troops took the lead in starting to move south and secretly stationed in Nansifu. Food, ordnance, and more recruits also began to move south one after another.

Black Flag's spies should increase their reconnaissance near the border.

The rebels are doing everything they can to prepare for the biggest war since the start of the army!

………

Border Fortress.

Standing at the highest point of the entire fortress, looking down from the city walls, the reckless dragon surrounded by countless guards.

Despite the staggering price paid by the Taungoo Kingdom, including food, military supplies, soldiers, and even the royal guards, in the end, the Taungoo Kingdom took the northern barrier. Starting from here, the Imperial Yanchuan County no longer has any mountain stream danger to defend, and it is all exposed to the front of the army!

Although none of them were investigated, Fan Sheng fled with the remaining Imperial Legions, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

As long as there is no such defense system, the army of the Donghu Kingdom has many targets to choose from in Yeoncheon-gun. Sooner or later, he will cut off the veteran's head and use it to pay tribute to the countless Donghu men who died in battle.

"Order, the whole army will rest for three days, and then the army will go north!"

After a pause, Cang Manglong stepped on the fortress under his feet, made up his mind, and sneered: "First take the Nansi Mansion, forcibly requisition 10,000 imperial people, and completely demolish this fortress for me!" Not a single brick can be left! ”

The design of the border fortresses, including some of the defenses, was directed towards the south. It was almost useless to defend against an attack from the north. Because of this, even if this fortress defense line falls into the hands of the Donghu Kingdom, it will not be of much use, but may be recaptured by the Empire.

Although the proud Cang Reckless Dragon didn't think that the current empire had this ability, what if?

In order to prevent that unfortunate situation from happening, he will tear down this fortress dedicated to the Donghu Kingdom no matter what! Even, Cangmanlong plans to use these demolished bricks and stones to build a huge mausoleum here to commemorate the soldiers of the Donghu Kingdom who died in battle to seize this place!

The bricks and stones that the Imperials had painstakingly brought to build the fortress turned out to be the tombs of their enemies, and the Imperials must have been very angry, right?

Thinking of the enemy's angry jumping feet in his mind, but helpless appearance, Cang Mang Long couldn't help but laugh proudly.
