Summer June of the fifteenth year of the summer calendar

The spacious and bright tiger's den in the Zhenhai Palace was once again filled with generals from all over the Xia Kingdom, not only the generals of the First Army Jiang Chuan stationed in the Wanshui Valley and Xu Ning of the Second Army stationed in the Nanshui Basin.

Even Zheng Kui and Han Zigao, the chief and deputy commanders of the Third Army, who were originally stationed in Qinjin County and Pingyang County in the East China Sea, also came here, and now the Tiger's Den has become the military command center of the Xia State against Goguryeo.

Goguryeo was very annoyed that the Xia army suddenly crossed the buffer zone for hundreds of miles in the spring and rescued more than 1,000 Han Chinese slaves from the Shinmaru Mountain Fortress, and they were even more angry that the Xia army had completely destroyed the newly built Shinmaru Mountain Fortress in Goguryeo.

Goguryeo King Goyangcheng was extremely angry in his heart, and the new Marudu Mountain Fortress was not only the administrative center of Goguryeo in the Nanshui Valley in the future, but also the political center of the Anguchebu, Bolubu, Sumobu and other Tatar people who had just been attached to him by their commander, and it was their face in front of these indigenous tribes.

This surprise attack by the Xia army wiped out more than 2,000 Goguryeo defenders stationed in Shinmaru Mountain Castle with only 2,000 men, and after destroying the city, this Han army defeated thousands of Goguryeo soldiers in pursuit, and the Goguryeo lost more than 3,000 troops.

Goguryeo, who has always boasted that its combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the countries of the Northern Qi Dynasty, is a little unbearable, not to mention that a new city that has just been built was destroyed by the Xia people in front of so many Yatar people, if he can't retaliate back, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for Goguryeo to convince these Yatar people in the future.

Under the order of Gao Yangcheng, the Goguryeo army quickly moved into action, and although a large-scale attack had not yet begun, the Goguryeo army closest to Heseong had already moved in small groups, and began to cross the buffer zone of hundreds of miles in the middle to carry out small-scale attacks on the settlement of Xia in Nanshui.

This kind of attack is not aimed at the local army, but the civilian population as the purpose of the attack, which is the most annoying, and it may not cause much damage, but it can cause chaos in the local order, and have a great impact on the spring cultivation of the Xia Kingdom in the Nanshui Valley.

Faced with the threat of the Goguryeo army, Wang Ze was not to be outdone and quickly launched the arrangement.

In order to suppress the arrogance of the Goguryeo army, Wang Ze not only successively transferred the three jungle special operations forces of 'Wolf Tooth', 'Grizzly Bear', and 'Viper' to fight around Hecheng, but also summoned all the gold medal fighters under his command in one go.

Today's Wang Ze is no longer the weak force at the beginning, as early as the beginning, in order to resist Goguryeo's occupation of Beji, he deployed nearly 100,000 troops in Beji, and there is no need to fear the threat of war from the Goguryeo army.

After some dispatch, in addition to the original armies such as the Central Protector Army, the First Army, the Second Army, and the Cavalry Army, the four divisions of the Blue Wolf Army, which were originally asked by Cheng Chong to go to Sanqi to support Wang Yong's battle, were also withdrawn to the East China Sea garrison last year after the Northern Qi was unable to retaliate against Wang Yong.

Zhou Tong's division of the ironclad army who went to Sanqi was left in Sanqi by Wang Yong because Zhou Tong was now low on energy, but he transferred Yang Pengfei's department, who had been with Luo Huan as his deputy, to Wang Ze, and at present, Wang Ze has at least 150,000 people in the infantry army and cavalry army to fight against the Goguryeo.

If you add the Third Army led by Zheng Kui and Han Zigao, as well as the tens of thousands of naval troops of the major fleets in the East China Sea, as well as the National Guard and White Wolf Battalions in various counties, Wang Ze can at least transfer 200,000 troops to use, and it will no longer be as tight as in the past.

Wang Ze was dressed in military uniform and surrounded by the generals around a huge wooden table, and on the wall next to the wooden table hung a huge map of the situation in the East China Sea.

"Your Majesty, generals, although a small army of Goguryeo has begun to sneak into the vicinity of Hecheng to attack and harass, according to the information sent back by our scouts from Liaodong City, because of our country's continuous blockade of Goguryeo in the past, the food in the cities of Liaodong is not enough to support the Goguryeo army to fight!

At present, the 60,000 troops mobilized by Goguryeo are concentrated near Aplushui and have not marched to Liaodong for a long time, according to my analysis, the main reason is that the military food is not enough, so I deduce that the time for Goguryeo to attack our side in Begi should be after the autumn harvest! ”

Xu Ning, who was also wearing a military uniform, stood in front of this huge map, holding a long wooden pole made of mahogany in his hand, and carefully introduced the current strategic situation to the generals in front of him, which made Wang Ze have the feeling of watching military observation programs in later generations.

After all, the scope of operations of the Second Army led by Xu Ning was the Nanshui Valley, and the defense area in charge of the two armies of the Second Army and the Central Protector Army was basically the place where the Xia Kingdom bordered Goguryeo by land, so Xu Ning had a better understanding of the situation in Goguryeo, and he was also the best person to introduce the current situation of the Goguryeo War.

"General Xu, let me say a few words, it's already June, and Goguryeo began to take revenge on us after we successfully rescued us in April, and now they have been preparing for two months, won't they send troops at the summer harvest? Do you have to wait until after the autumn harvest? It was Yang Pengfei, who had been staying in Sanqi, who spoke.

Everyone looked at Yang Pengfei who opened his mouth to ask questions, and they all smiled knowingly. 186 Chinese Network

"Duwei Yang," Hu Bingchang said with a smile, "It's not that we haven't thought of this, it's because in this bitter cold land of Liaodong, there is one harvest a year, and there is only one crop a year, so there is only an autumn harvest here, and there is no summer harvest!" This is not the same as the Land of the Three Together! ”

Yang Pengfei had just come to Zhenhai and was not familiar with the climate in Liaodong, so he made such a big joke at once, that is, everyone understood his mistakes, and they just comforted him kindly, and Hu Bingchang signaled Xu Ning to continue.

Xu Ning looked at everyone and smiled slightly, moved the wooden pole to the ruins of the destroyed Shinmaru Mountain Castle, and continued: "The Goguryeo people's combat thinking is still stuck in the past, because the Shinmaru Mountain Castle was destroyed by our side, which made the Goguryeo people feel that they have lost face in front of the Ya people.

They are ready to march northeast along the difficult water to attack us, and continue to attack us by destroying Tsurujo or even using it as a basis to gain their own face! Through intelligence, we have learned that the commander of the Goguryeo army is Gao Wencan, a general from the royal family! He is a person that Gao Yangcheng trusts very much. ”

Zhang Hang, the commander of the first division of the Blue Wolf Army, couldn't help but speak: "The Goguryeo people are not stupid, there are six or seven hundred miles between the city where they are located in Nanshui to Hecheng, and it is extremely difficult to march in the vast forests along these places, didn't they make any small moves on the side of the Tongmen River?" ”

Without waiting for Xu Ning to answer, Zhao Yong, the left guard of the Central Protector Army, said with a smile: "General Zhang, all the armies of our Central Protector Army take turns to garrison near the mouth of the Tongmen River, and we are relatively clear about this point!" Although the northeastern part of Goguryeo is closely connected to the mouth of the Tongmen River and is also the closest distance to our Jinhae Fortress, the road is very difficult to travel!

If the Goguryeo army wanted to attack from here, it would have to transport grain from the grain-producing area on the side of Pyongyang City on the western coast of Goguryeo to the front line, which would take at least 2,000 miles of mountain roads!

Compared with the difficulty of transporting military grain in Goguryeo, our Xia Kingdom is much better than him, not only is Zhenhai a large army here, but also there is a convenient sea transportation, the army can come to support at any time, and the navy can also send supplies directly from the sea to the Tongmen River!

Compared with the two, as long as the Goguryeo people are not fools, they will never attack from here, but in order to prevent the Goguryeo people from really feintting to attack and disturb from here, our Chinese protectors are still ready to fight! ”

After listening to Zhao Yong's words, Zhang Hang and the generals all nodded again and again! I strongly agree with Zhao Yong's analysis.

Think about it, although Goguryeo is relatively far away from Hecheng, it can use the sea from the west to Liaodong, and you can sail up the Liaoshui River to Liaodong City, and there is only a land route of hundreds of miles from Liaodong City to Buyeo City.

After the east of Buyeo Fortress, there are excellent water transportation conditions available, and by the time the autumn harvest is completed, the difficult water has not yet frozen, and the Goguryeo people can take advantage of the convenience of water transportation to transport troops and food supplies by boat.

Xu Ning also agreed with Zhao Yong's words: "Yes, that's the reason, the reason why the Goguryeo people have not entered the army for a long time is not only the lack of military food, but also very likely to have something to do with the fact that they have not prepared enough ships!" However, this does not mean that the current Goguryeo people are not a threat to us because of this! ”

Xu Ning held a wooden pole and pointed to the location of the mountain castle of Shinmaru on the map: "At present, Goguryeo is using their traditional power in the hearts of the Tatar people to buy and control a large number of Tatar tribes through intimidation, inducement and other means, so that these indigenous tribes can work for them!"

Since the Goguryeo people have been strong in the Liaodong region for two or three hundred years, their deterrent power in the hearts of these Tatars is far more powerful than ours.

Other tribes that are a little farther away also have a considerable number of defection to Goguryeo, such as the Baishan tribe that fled to the territory of the Anguchebu after being crippled by us before, and basically became the lackeys of the Goguryeo people, and the Funi tribe between Goguryeo and us, as well as the Nanmurwei people along the north flow of the difficult water (Nenjiang River), among which there are also a considerable number of people who are greedy for the promised property of the Goguryeo people and are willing to obey the orders of the Goguryeo people!

There are not many warriors in these tribes individually, but the soldiers they provide together are 20,000 people, and their strength should not be underestimated.

If the Goguryeo army comes to attack us, in my opinion, these indigenous soldiers are the most threatening to us, so we must deal with this army before the Goguryeo army is assembled! ”

"General Xu is right," Jiang Chuan and Chu Honghang led their troops at the mouth of the Tongmen River and fought fiercely with the Goguryeo army led by the Goguryeo general Ulzhihui.

Although the main Goguryeo army was also very strong in combat, what impressed Jiang Chuan even more was the stragglers composed of the Baeksan tribe and other Begishino tribes.

Although these people can't cooperate with the battle formation, fighting in the forest where they have grown since childhood is what they are best at, this kind of skirmish combat is as easy as hunting for those Devil people, and the threat to the Xia army is also multiplied!

Therefore, Jiang Chuan said fiercely: "We must solve these indigenous armies before the Goguryeo army comes!" ”
