At half past seven the next morning, they gathered in the large playground, and at eight o'clock, President Guo announced that the commander sent by the military academy this time was Minister Xie and Instructor Xiang of the Artillery Section. The three of them said a few more words, and Principal Guo personally sent them to the school gate.

There were eight military vehicles parked at the school gate, and there were nearly ten boxes next to them, and when they were opened, they were full of spears. Each received a spear, got into the car in order, and began their journey.

In addition to eating and convenience, they even rested and slept with their eyes closed in the car, and many people were tired and sleepy in such a hurry, but the front-line war was about to break out, and there was no room for a moment's delay.

On the third day, they arrived at the military camp of Marshal Zheng Boyuan. Yongning is still in the hands of the rebels, and Marshal Zheng Boyuan is stationed in Jinhegou, which is forty miles away from Yongning.

Zheng Boyuan was waiting for the reinforcement of troops from all over the country to rescue, at this time the main force of the enemy army was not in Yongning, as long as the reinforcements arrived, he could concentrate his firepower to attack Yongning, Yongning is the southern gate of Yinchuan, only by taking Yongning, can the rebellion be quelled in the shortest possible time.

A total of 15,000 students from military academies from all over the country, plus reinforcements from the central government, plus Zheng Dashuai's 20,000 horses, all gathered. Zheng Dashuai summoned the three armies, and divided them into seven divisions and twelve brigades according to infantry, artillery, engineering, baggage, communications, etc., and divided them into seven divisions and twelve brigades, with senior commanders sent from various places as division commanders, and subordinate commanders were also selected by them, and Zheng Dashuai was the commander of the crusading army.

At four o'clock in the morning, all the soldiers of the four divisions attacked Yongning, and the rest of the remaining camps were ready to provide support and supplies at any time.

After the interspersed distribution of personnel, Chen Zui's classmates were all divided into different camps, and they could not take care of each other, but could only look at their own creations. Chen Zui and Duan Shaoling and Li Chengjing, the three of them are not together. Most of the four divisions selected by Zheng Dashuai were soldiers, and only one-third of the students from each military academy were students, Duan Shaoling and Li Chengjing were among them, and Chen Zui quietly found someone to exchange for him, and wanted to fight side by side with the two of them.

It's May, hot and dry during the day, and the wind and sand are howling at night, and the temperature is very different from the daytime. The difference in climate from south to north is something that many people can't adapt to for a while. People from all over the world are tired of traveling, and not many people can sleep soundly at the moment.

The difference in climate is still a small matter, and more than 90 percent of it comes from the fear of war. In particular, when students from all over the country came to the barracks for the first time to see this kind of formation, they were worried when they thought of the number of battles they would have to go through to defeat the rebels from tonight, and whether they were so lucky to survive to the end, especially when they thought of their parents and relatives.

Chen Zui and the three of them can't sleep, Li Chengjing has long been psychologically prepared for the war, Duan Shaoling is tranquil by nature and never worries about himself, Chen Zui is open-minded and optimistic, and the three of them have insomnia not because of fear, but more because of emotion. Speaking of the battle in the early morning, the three of them were fearless, and everything was done to obey the destiny of heaven.

It's just touching the scene, thinking of Wang Han's sentence 'Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people have come back to fight in ancient times?' Duan Shaoling sighed again: When will the troubled times end? When will the world be truly peaceful? Li Chengjing bluntly said that the end of any troubled times throughout the ages is not a peaceful transition, only to end the war with war, and the current situation must be the same.

Duan Shaoling knew that what she said was not bad, so he could only shake his head with a sigh.

They worked hard all the way, and in the early hours of the morning, they couldn't help but feel sleepy, and went back to squint for a while, recuperate and prepare for the upcoming first battle.

At four o'clock in the morning, before dawn broke, the sky and the earth were still pitch black. Zheng Dashuai ordered 3,000 soldiers to take the lead, 5,000 soldiers as the center, and led 2,000 soldiers to sit in the rear, and the gunfire suddenly rose.

The soldiers in the city were alarmed by the enemy's surprise attack, and they blew their horns and told the soldiers in the city to defend together. The city is in a hurry, the city is strictly defended, the sound of killing, and the beacon fires are in the sky.

As soon as the battle began, the rebels were in a weak position, but the soldiers in the city still refused to take a step back, desperately defending the defense, even if they fought to the death of a soldier, this integrity, although it was an enemy, was also admirable. The battle lasted for more than two hours, from dark to dawn, the Yongning city tower was not high and there was no danger to defend, and finally the city was broken, and there were few people who fled.

Zheng Dashuai ordered that after entering the city, the people should be appeased, and there should be no disturbance to the people, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law.

The capture of Yongning was relatively smooth, but there were many casualties, and Zheng Dashuai believed that it was only a very small part of the rebels. The faster the defeat is now, the more troops will be accumulated in the rear, and the future battles will only be more difficult, and there is really nothing to be happy about winning this battle.

Just won a game, the morale of the three armies was quite high, Zheng Dashuai didn't want to say this, but thinking of the truth that the arrogant soldiers would be defeated, they were inevitably carried away by the victory in front of them, and it would be useless in the next battle.

After the army entered the city to pacify the people, Zheng Dashuai summoned the three armies to tell them these words, reminding them that they should be more cautious in every victory, unless it is the real last battle, they must not be blindly arrogant, otherwise they may be destroyed at any time.

The officers and men of the three armies all wrote it down.

After the victory, most of the people were not as timid as before, and their courage was suddenly born, and there was a heroic spirit in their chests, but they looked forward to a life-and-death battle with the rebels. The army was reorganized for a day, and Zheng Dashuai left nearly 2,000 experienced soldiers to defend the city, taking advantage of the high morale, to take advantage of the victory to pursue and quell the rebellion in the shortest possible speed.

However, things will not go as smoothly as imagined, as Zheng Dashuai said, the faster the enemy is defeated in front, the greater the counterattack accumulated in the back, like a spring.

They encountered many ambushes by the enemy along the way, the enemy army was extremely cunning, all of them took advantage of their march fatigue and were about to rest in place when they suddenly rushed out from all sides to attack, whenever they were about to counterattack, the enemy army was prepared to retreat, did not confront them head-on, the slightest resistance then feigned defeat and fled, relying on the familiarity of the terrain, they were always helpless, but the crusading army continued to lose troops and generals, the three armies were exhausted.

Zheng Dashuai had reminded them in advance, and they all remembered it, but they were attacked by the enemy many times and could not fight back, and the previous arrogance of the soldiers was annihilated by more than half in an instant.

Zheng Dashuai can win without being arrogant, and a momentary setback will not discourage him. Being teased by the enemy in this way, he had been thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy.

In the evening, after setting up camp, Zheng Dashuai sent people to inspect the four places, and sent soldiers to surround the military camp in layers, which can not only protect the camp but also respond to each other. Zheng Dashuai and the division commanders discussed in the camp how to break the enemy.

Chen Zui and the three of them happened to be arranged to patrol the outermost at this time, and after a few rounds, Li Chengjing walked to their side, and while the three of them walked, Li Chengjing whispered: "In my opinion." Tonight, even if we patrol all night, we will not see half of the enemy's shadow. ”

Duan Shaoling nodded, and said: "That's true, it's just that today's march was harassed by the enemy, and now the army's mood has changed, and patrolling can make the army's heart a little calmer, and it is also beneficial." ”

Chen Zui's military knowledge was a little inferior to theirs, and he quietly asked, "How did you conclude that the enemy army would not come tonight?" ”

Duan Shaoling said: "The enemy army only took advantage of our rest to raid today, and if the situation was not right, they fled, because the enemy army took advantage of the familiar terrain, and this place was open on all sides, not suitable for ambushes." ”

Li Chengjing continued: "Even if the enemy army has a peep and sees our army's five steps, one battalion, ten steps and one sentry, they also know that we have taken precautions, how can they take advantage of it if they come again at this time?" ”

Chen Zui nodded suddenly and asked, "You have already thought of countermeasures for the enemy's sneak attack during the day, haven't you?" ”

They glanced at each other, and Duan Shaoling said first: "This is not difficult, as long as we break it into parts, rest in the middle in batches, and protect each other, even if the enemy army occupies the advantageous position, there is nothing to be done." ”

Li Chengjing said again: "Or we can pretend to rest at the beginning and the end, lead the enemy army into the city, and catch them off guard." ”

Chen Zui said: "You have such a good plan, why do you reflect it upwards?" I think Zheng Dashuai is a person who is good at accepting advice, and I will not blame you for being arrogant, but will listen to your opinions. ”

Li Chengjing smiled, "Today is just on the way to the march, and there are enemy troops peeping aside, Zheng Dashuai They didn't have time to think of countermeasures, otherwise they would definitely be able to think of what we could think of, maybe they have already come up with a better plan inside, which round will get us to talk more." ”

After an hour of deliberation was over, Zheng Dashuai naturally knew that the enemy army would not raid under the stars tonight, so he removed all the soldiers in the middle, and for the sake of safety, he still arranged three groups of people to take turns to patrol the night, and when there was a situation, the whistle sounded to warn, and the march began at six o'clock tomorrow.

The night was very peaceful, and sure enough, there was not half a shadow of the enemy.

The next day, they marched until noon, and were about to rest, when the enemy attacked them on all sides. The soldiers immediately returned fire, and the enemy, seeing that the enemy could not be defeated, was about to flee from all directions, and at this moment, a detachment rushed out behind the enemy to intercept their retreat.

Zheng Dashuai and the generals knew at the time of last night's meeting that the enemy would repeat their old tricks, and they were determined to let them have no return. When Zheng Dashuai withdrew his soldiers, he had secretly ordered some of them to lurk in all directions, and on the second day, he did not go with the large army, but quietly followed behind the large army after it had advanced, and attacked the enemy when it was suddenly attacking and fleeing.

The enemy troops who raided were taken by surprise, and all of them did not return.

When the three armies marched to Liangtian Fort, they engaged the enemy again, and from dusk to dark, they successfully captured Liangtian Fort. Capture Liangtian Fort is the last barrier at the south gate of Yinchuan, and take Liangtian Fort, Yinchuan is close at hand.

Zheng Dashuai is preparing for another raid, hoping to take Yinchuan in one fell swoop. After the three armies captured Liangtian Fort, their vitality was greatly damaged, and Marshal Zheng ordered the three armies to rest and recuperate immediately, and launched an attack on Yinchuan at three o'clock in the morning.
