Where is the return on the sixth night?

With Sima Fuqiang's order, Du Ziteng's cavalry battalion took the lead and went straight to Dongwei Pass, where the middle gate was wide open. And Li Erhu's "trapped camp" followed closely behind, for fear that if he went one step too late, he would only be able to pick up the leftovers of the cavalry battalion. As for the new barracks, although the soldiers were also enthusiastic, they still obediently ranked last.

The gate of Weidongguan creaked upward, and the former Nanhai naval soldiers outside the pass who were still attacking Weidongguan unhurriedly couldn't help but be a little confused, and the movements in their hands and the pace of progress under their feet also stagnated. By the time they reacted, they had been overwhelmed by the iron hooves of the Eastern Navy cavalry battalion.

The ensuing war was as lackluster as ever, and as soon as the war began, it fell into a one-sided trend.

Dongwei Pass, which has no gate, is simply undefended, and the bed crossbows in Dongwei Pass have been dismantled by Wu Qiang, and it lacks the ability to strike remotely. On the side of Weidong Pass, the Eight Bull Crossbow had already been assumed after nightfall, and at this time it was shooting huge arrows into the back of the wall, severely damaging the enemy soldiers who did not know the situation.

The non-stop offensive for two consecutive days was not only consuming the energy of the first battalion of the Eastern Navy, but Vice Admiral Wang's side was not much better, but the difference between fifty steps and one hundred steps. What's more critical is that his soldiers suddenly changed from the party that took the initiative to the weak who were passively beaten, and they couldn't adapt to this change of role for a while, and their morale was even lower.

Whether it is a cavalry battalion or a "trapped camp", or even a new battalion that has not fought a few battles, the soldiers of the Eastern Navy never thought that they would lose, even if Wu Qiang faced 3,000 enemy troops, he only chose a strategic retreat, even if he lost Dongwei Pass, it was not a defeat. Such an army has Huang Zhi's aura of "inspiration", and its combat effectiveness can be imagined.

For this enemy, which was originally the Southern Navy and is now the Duzhou Army, the East China Sea team is quite jealous of them.

On the Dongzhou Continent, it is neither the imperial court nor the state capital that knows the people in the dream best, but these warriors who have been trained by the people in the dream themselves. These soldiers understand the powerful personal style of the dream man, understand the strange and changeable combat methods of the dream man, maybe the Southern Navy lacks a senior general who can command the entire army like the Eastern Navy, but if they are allowed to merge with Zhang Tong of the Dingbei Army, it will undoubtedly be a big problem for the Eastern Navy.

Therefore, Huang Zhi's opinion is that no one should be spared, either encircled and annihilated, or surrendered. Carrying out his thoughts, the cavalry battalion directly cut through the opponent's line after entering Dongwei Pass, blocking its retreat from behind the enemy, and leaving the front to the "trapped camp" led by Li Erhu.

Once a person has compromised once, it is easy to compromise a second time, and since this southern navy has accepted the incorporation of the Duzhou government army, then there will be no psychological obstacle to surrendering to the eastern navy again. Without the leadership of the Dream Man of the South Sea Team, this army is rapidly degenerating.

At the end of the battle, the former South China Navy lost more than half, but there were still more than 1,000 people, if it was in the hands of the South China Sea team Jia Junshi, it would be a completely different world, but at this time it became a prisoner of war of the East China Navy.

For the placement of these prisoners of war, the East China Sea team was very troubled, and the two leading opinions were on par, but they contradicted each other. Those who supported their incorporation believed that the quality of the soldiers of the Southern Navy was not bad, and as long as Huang Zhi was willing to brainwash them, they would soon become the combat strength of the Eastern Navy.

The opposing views are also clear-cut, the Eastern Navy has not failed to accept prisoners of war, but it is not the grass on the wall of these days that have repeatedly given up the honor of soldiers. If people are accustomed to surrendering, they will lose their belief in victory and their style of not fearing death, and if the East China Navy recruits these people, I am afraid that it will affect the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

The person who supported the incorporation was naturally Sima Fuqiang, although it was not clear why the Duzhou Mansion had made a move to the Eastern Navy, but he had already realized that the Eastern Navy would not only face the 5,000-strong Dingbei Army next, but at least include several other troops in the Duzhou Navy. He even suspected that the Lizhou capital would also participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Eastern Navy, otherwise Zhang Tong, the general of Dingyuan, would not dare to send troops across the border into Lizhou without authorization. If this is the case, sufficient troop replenishment is bound to be the top priority of the Eastern Navy at present.

However, the objections raised by Zhang Wei, who was born in the military, cannot be ignored, and the East China Navy has not yet cultivated enough officer class, and if the soldiers of the South China Navy are scattered and assigned to various battalions, they are afraid that these people will be dragged into battle and their morale will be affected by fierce battles. It is even more dangerous to retain the original grassroots establishment of the Yugoslav Navy, and who knows if those guys will simply defect en masse or even fight back.

Huang Zhi and the rest of the team wavered between these two plausible-sounding opinions, and no one dared to rashly take a position on such a crucial issue.

In the end, Huang Zhi came up with a compromise plan, "Let's put these troops aside, whether they are incorporated or not, they will not be able to become our combat effectiveness in the short term." Listening to Du Ziteng, this army is led by a deputy general Zhang Tong, a member of the Dingyuan general of Duzhou Prefecture, looking at this person's performance in command, although there are no amazing highlights, but the victory is decent, and it can be regarded as a usable person. ”

"You want to subdue him?" Sima Fuqiang heard the sound outside the strings.

"Yes, there are two advantages to subduing him, one is to strengthen the ranks of our middle and senior commanders, so as to facilitate the further expansion of the Eastern Navy; Second, since he is Zhang Tong's deputy general, he must have a lot of information about the Dingbei Army, and if he is brought over, it will definitely be beneficial to the next battle against the Duzhou Army. ”

Huang Zhi's statement was unanimously agreed by everyone, and if this matter is handled well, it may even be possible to solve the problem of the Southern Navy at the same time.

At the moment, subduing Vice General Wang has become the first priority of the dream man, and everyone followed Huang Zhi to the detention room of Dongwei Pass and saw the target person who was tied up by five flowers.

The strong sense of urgency left Huang Zhi with no time and energy to beat around the bush, so he went straight to the point and explained his intentions, "How do you feel after this battle?" Is the Eastern Navy much stronger than you think? We now invite you in the name of the Eastern Naval Commander, invite you to join this army, and together we will create brilliance."

Vice General Wang was a little stunned at first when he heard this, and then burst out with a piercing sneer, "Join you? Are you crazy when I fall into your hands, at most I will die, and the imperial court can still give me the title of a hero. If I join you, it will be a grave crime for the Nine Clans, and my family will suffer together."

Huang Zhi didn't expect to get such a response in advance, and he was speechless for a while.

On the contrary, Vice General Wang, who was in prison at the moment, spoke even more aggressively, "Hey, death is on the verge of death, and you still want to recruit us to expand our military strength?" It is undeniable that the combat effectiveness and the way in which you use troops in the East China Navy are superior to those of the officers and the army. But do you really think that with only two or three thousand men, you can fight against the official army? Even if our General Zhang Tong can't clean you up, the 100,000 people of the 20 armies of the two provinces can't deal with you? Don't be naïve, as soon as the official document of the Ministry of War comes, it will doom you to the destruction of your old nest Donghai Town, and I am afraid that it has been taken by the army of the state capital at this time."

This was the first time that the person in the dream heard the news that the Dongzhou Imperial Court had gone all out, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Even if Zhuge is reincarnated, it is impossible to fight against a hundred thousand troops with a few thousand men, which is no longer a huge gap in the strength of each other that can be narrowed by relying solely on strategy.

Unless the Eastern Navy gives up its foundation from now on and wanders through the mountains and falls into the grass, if it is obsessed with the gains and losses of one city and one place, the officers and soldiers will really crush the Eastern Navy to death with a large number of corpses. It may be that the dreamman is not completely out of the way to live, but the territory must not be saved, and this means that the stable poll tax revenue will be wiped out, and the East China Sea team will live in exile and strapped for the rest of the day.

The three stinkers couldn't help but start thinking about what was hidden behind this matter, it could never be simply because of the upheaval caused by their sneak attack on the Pingbei Army outside the border, behind this, there should be something deeper, maybe it was the manipulator behind the dream world, or maybe it was related to the complete eradication of the South China Sea team in the "real" world during the day.

"Why is that?" Huang Zhi couldn't help but ask this question, but he didn't expect to get a clear answer.

Unexpectedly, Vice General Wang actually knew a little bit of the truth of the matter, "This is the 'Providence' It is said that the Taishi Bureau has received the instructions of the 'Providence', which is why the Imperial Court is so determined to kill you." ”

The mysterious word "providence" fell on the ears of the three stinkers like a thunderbolt, and it almost confirmed the answer they least wanted to see.

"Let's go, let's go back to town first." The ominous premonition in Sima Fuqiang's heart was even stronger.

Although it was already like an arrow, after days of fatigue and a fierce battle, the dreamer and the Eastern Navy really needed time to rest, so the return time was set for the afternoon, and the cavalry battalion returned to Donghai Town with the dreamer. The infantry troops such as the "trapped camp" stayed behind in the two passes and the East Prison Pass, preparing to deal with the upcoming army of Duzhou Prefecture.

From the official road all the way to the north, the atmosphere of the war turned from thick to faint and then thick, the villages close to Dongwei Pass and Dongjiao Pass had already run out of people, and the posture was all taken refuge in the north, and it really cried These aborigines of the Dongzhou Continent have just lived a few days under the governance of the dream people, and the war is approaching their homes again.

Traveling about 250 miles along the official road, this is a newly established fortress of the Eastern Navy, guarding the official road to the south. Tens of thousands of refugees are concentrated here, far more than people dream of all. After careful questioning, they learned that in addition to the refugees who went north from the south, there were also a large number of refugees from the north to the state capital.

In other words, the army from the state capital has entered the territory of the East China Sea.

After asking several waves of refugees, I haven't heard the news of the fall of Donghai Town for the time being, and the latest news is that the first official army from the state capital has approached Donghai Town a day ago, and the garrison camp has fought fiercely in the fortress near the salt field, but due to the strength of the official army, nine out of ten refugees said that the East China Navy could not hold it.

Hearing this news, the dreamer couldn't stay here to waste time, and he had to hurry up to reinforce Zhao Meng, otherwise with a total of 1,000 troops from the garrison battalion and the second battalion of recruits in training, it would be completely impossible to resist the offensive of any army leaving the state capital, and according to the refugees, the vanguard of the official army on this trip was no less than the two armies.

The dreamer didn't have time to think about a problem at all, plus the reinforcement of the cavalry battalion, the defense force of Donghai Town would not exceed 1,500 people, and it would also be unable to resist the number of officers and troops with more than 10,000 people. They just traveled day and night, just to be able to do their best.

On the fourteenth day of the sixth night, on the day when he was about to return to "reality", the dreamer finally returned to Donghai Town, which had been absent for more than two months, but his goal was a devastation.

The entrance of the Nancun Bridge defense line guarding the official road to the south was opened, and the stone slab bridge was once again stained red with blood after the original bandit annihilation battle. The water of the Jiulong River under the bridge is also as red as blood, exuding a pungent fishy smell, and from time to time you can still see corpses floating down the river, sometimes civilians, sometimes soldiers of the Eastern Navy, and more often than not, the army of the state capital.

Apparently, a fierce battle is raging in Tokai Town.

After crossing the bridge and further north, the southern village of the original nine villages in the East China Sea has been destroyed in the war, leaving only pieces of ruins and broken walls, which is more desolate than the period when bandits were rampant. The bandits and bandits still know that they have to keep the civilians alive, and they will have the goal of continuing to plunder in the future. However, the official army can slaughter the village unscrupulously, just to kill the good and take the credit, and the Dongzhou Continent has decayed to this point.

Beyond the southern village to the north, an army camped across the official road and set up an improvised defensive line. Judging from the clothing, there is no doubt that it is the men and horses of the army leaving the state capital, which also shows that the periphery of Donghai Town has indeed completely fallen, but I don't know what the battle situation in the town is, and whether the people in the dream can still catch up.

There are still 20 miles away from Donghai Town, and if you go further, you will inevitably enter the encirclement of the official army, which is tantamount to a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger. But if it stops here, it will undoubtedly completely abandon Zhao Meng and his garrison, and give up the hard-won achievements of the Donghai team here.

Although the vanguard of the state capital numbered more than 10,000, the number of troops scattered to the outer defense line was not much, and the army blocking the road was only a battalion of fully equipped infantry troops, as long as the dreamers were willing, these people could not stop them from continuing to advance.

Seeing this, the three stooges unanimously chose to break in. With the mobility of the cavalry battalion, as long as the movement is fast enough, it is generally difficult to fall into the encirclement, and for the sake of the comrades who do not know whether they are alive or dead, even if it is worth gambling with their lives.

Under the leadership of the dreamer, the cavalry battalion did not hesitate to attack the officers and soldiers, and before the other party came to consciousness, they tore through the opponent's defensive formation, easily broke into the outer defense line of Donghai Town, and continued to march towards the town.

"Stopped" a few miles away from the Qianmen of Donghai Town, Sima Fuqiang finally shouted to stop this team, which could already be called a little reckless. From the field of vision from which he launched the "Ascend High and Look Far Away", the corpses were strewn all over the field outside Donghai Town, where thousands of fallen soldiers from the state capital army were lying there.

But this does not mean that Zhao Meng's garrison has achieved a final victory, on the contrary, they should have been completely annihilated. The three-meter-high city wall of Donghai Town was full of human heads, and there were at least hundreds of them in a row, and the blood stained the entire city wall, reflecting the "Li" flag raised high on the city tower.

The town of Tokai fell......
