Where is the Way Home on the Sixth Night (1)

Entering the sixth night, although Huang Zhi and Sima Fuqiang were in Yangcheng, when they entered the power dream again, they still appeared in the storm pass at the same time as their teammates.

Thinking that their number one enemy in the dream world, the Nanhai team, Jia Junshi, had become the dust of history, and walked out of the "night tent" and looked at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the storm gate, there was quite a feeling of picturesque rivers and mountains.

Liu Yuanzhi stepped forward at this time, "The cavalry battalion, the 'trapped camp' and the new barracks are all ready, just wait for your lordships to give an order, and we will return to the East China Sea." ”

There is no reason to stay here in the northern plains for the time being, and if you don't leave, it will arouse the suspicion of the local people, Sima Fuqiang waved his hand without thinking, "Then let's go"

At the beginning, the expedition from Dongweiguan to the northern plains took ten days for a long march, and I am afraid that this time is indispensable for returning from this trip. Of course, such time is nothing to the dreamers, but they don't know how urgent the time is for them now. Huang Zhi's "Yishu" helped the East China Sea team solve an imminent disaster in the Southern Navy, but a real catastrophe had quietly loomed over their heads.

After the court meeting of the Dongzhou Imperial Court ended this morning, the military department Shangshu immediately issued an urgent document of 800 li, mobilizing the 100,000 troops of the two states, preparing to strangle the East China Sea team and the East China Sea that they had not yet grown up in one fell swoop.

The distance between the imperial court and the state capital is 2,500 li, and it may be closer to the state capital, and considering the additional distance caused by the twists and turns of the road, the two prefectures will not receive the edict of the imperial court for more than five days. At this time, the main force of the Eastern Navy had only just arrived near Wanghui City, and there were still five days to go from their base camp.

First of all, in Lizhou, where the East China Sea is located, in addition to the Li Wei Department stationed in Weixian County, there are still 5,000 troops sent abroad to fight against the rebels in the northwest of Di County, and the remaining 8 armies totaling 40,000 troops are stationed in the state capital, adjacent to the East China Sea. Even if they needed a little time to prepare and mobilize for the war, it would be time to enter the East China Sea territory on the tenth day.

Moreover, the only checkpoint between the state capital and the East China Sea is still in the hands of the official army, and the north of Donghai Town to the border of the state capital is completely undefended for the state army.

Even if the main force of the Eastern Navy could return to the town before the Eighth Army entered the East China Sea and join up with Wu Qiang's first battalion and Chen Chuang's garrison battalion, the Eastern Navy would only have five battalions and 2,500 troops, which was at best the establishment of half an army, how could it confront 16 times its own strength.

What's more, it was not only the Lizhou army that was ordered to attack the East China Sea here, but also the other 50,000 officers and troops in Duzhou. One north and one south, this is no longer just a matter of numbers, but blocking the East China Sea territory at both ends, and catching turtles in an urn.

Naturally, the person in the dream did not know this, and was still marching unhurriedly and at a normal pace.

On the afternoon of the sixth day, they finally arrived in the area around Wanghui City, although they didn't know that under the command of the dream world, the Dongzhou Imperial Court was attacking themselves, but out of the rigorous style of governing the army, the cavalry battalion still sent a leading scout force to patrol all the way. And it was this cavalry battalion patrol that brought back a very surprising news to the dreamman - the Duzhou Mansion Army crossed the border into the southern part of Wei County.

This is the vanguard of a pure cavalry, judging from the banner, Du Ziteng, who has been sitting in Wanghui City for a long time, naturally recognizes the other party, "It is the two cavalry battalions under the command of the Northern Army of the Duzhou Prefecture, and the Dingbei Army is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Tong, the general of Dingyuan, who likes to use long-distance attacks and attack the enemy unprepared, and is a rare good general among the generals of the Duzhou Prefecture." Hehe, but the last general thinks that he is not inferior to him, otherwise he will not be able to hold on to Wanghui City for so long. ”

No one commented on Du Ziteng's last sentence, and the Dingbei Army of Duzhou Prefecture and the Pingbei Army, which was defeated by the Eastern Navy outside the Violent Departure Pass, had no command relationship with each other, and each was responsible for a front. This shows that the reason why these two battalions of cavalry crossed the line was not that the original stragglers ran too bravely, but that the Dingbei Army was attacking.

You must know that the southern part of Wei County is no longer the territory of the rebels, but the territory of Donghai County, which is canonized by the Dongzhou Imperial Court. I believe that Zhang Tong, the Dingyuan general who Du Ziteng gave a high evaluation, is not a reckless man who will casually provoke a civil war, so he still dares to take the initiative to attack the territory of Donghai County, which can only show that he has determined that the fault of this matter lies with the Donghai side.

At present, several people in the dream have not thought that the punishment of the dream world is so far-reaching, but they think that it is likely that the Duzhou Mansion found out about the Eastern Navy's attack on the official army, or because the Eastern Navy crossed the border to fight. But no matter what the reason is, this is not good news for the Eastern Navy, which does not want to clash head-on with the official army for the time being.

In Sima Fuqiang's view, if the Eastern Navy is recognized as a rebel force by the official army, then their development path will be difficult in the future. Even if he could keep the original territory within a radius of five hundred miles from Donghai Town, it would be beyond the reach of the southern part of Wei County and the northern plain of Storm County.

Judging from the footsteps of both sides, the Eastern Navy could not enter Wanghui City, which was almost an empty city, before the other side. In other words, if you want to recapture the city, you can only fight another battle with the Duzhou army.

This is not a problem, the three stinkers are confident that they can defeat a cavalry force that is not good at defending the city, even if the opponent has two battalions of troops. But Huang Zhi thought of a possibility that made him even more frightened, since the Duzhou Mansion Army had torn its face to rob Wanghui City of the Eastern Navy, then the prison county would naturally not be peaceful, and the East Prison Pass would inevitably become another breakthrough.

When Huang Zhi expressed this concern, Sima Fuqiang immediately chose to give up the competition for Wanghui City. It is a pity to give up Wanghui City, but in comparison, the East Prison Pass is even more stressful. It was the southern gate of the East China Sea, and once the hole was opened, the Duzhou army would be able to drive straight into it and destroy the foundation of the East China Sea.

Therefore, the top priority is no longer the loss of Wanghui City, but to hurry back to Dongwei Pass to assist the Wuqiang First Battalion, which has limited troops, to defend Dongjiao Pass.

Sima Fuqiang could afford to put it down, but most of the other Donghai team members showed distressed expressions, and they were unwilling to let Wanghuicheng, which was finally obtained, fall into the hands of the Duzhou Mansion Army. The dream world is likely to judge that Donghai County will lose the territory in the southern part of Wei County, which will bring direct economic losses to the people in the dream, which is about 8,000 points per month in Dongzhou time.

"Captain, no longer thinking about it? It was only one night that we took Wanghui City. "This time it was Xiaofeng who proposed. It may be that he has been with the three stooges for a long time recently, and he thinks that he has gradually learned how to lead troops into battle, so he boldly puts forward his opinion.

"There's nothing to think about, if Sanguan falls and Donghai Town is cut off from Wei County, we will also lose Wanghui City, and even the northern plains. In this case, why waste time here, as long as the three passes are in hand, we can take back the Zhucheng Pass in the south of Wei County at any time. ”

Huang Zhi also followed after hearing this, "The captain's strategic vision has nothing to say, 'stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood', let's go"
