When the Leopard Tao Army engaged in the first round, the ministers of Kyoto Castle were like great enemies.

Although Zhu Jun repeatedly emphasized that let the princes sit in peace, and the war should be up to him, how can these ministers who have been honed to the top pay attention to them?

To put it mildly, the faster the news is grasped at this time, the faster you will escape than others.

These truths have been repeatedly verified in the past few political struggles in Kyoto.

Therefore, these ministers still came, and a group of disciples carried them on their shoulders and sent them to the north wall of Kyoto.

It was also on the valley gate that these pampered ministers saw the offensive of the Taishan army in full swing. For a while, the crows were silent, and the day and night were panicked.

In fact, not only these ministers, but also many officials on the city wall were also frightened by the murderous sound in the north.

Many of these people have just been recruited, and although there are many old soldiers beside them, they still can't control themselves from wailing and scolding to give themselves courage.

They were also cheering for the robes of the barrier outside the valley gate, and for a time the city was full of flags, clamoring, and very noisy.

And this kind of bravado was dumbfounded after the Taishan army took the lead in capturing a wall.

In fact, the offensive of the Taishan army is still conservative, and it is not attacked on all sides as soon as it comes up, and when it is not clear about the quality and morale of the defenders in the city, the various departments are still only assembled on all sides, waiting for the unified dispatch of the base camp.

On the other side, the Leopard Tao Army, which had just taken the lead in the Luobei Qunbi, would have been unexpectedly smooth.

Originally, the first battle was so hard, and the Leopard Tao army was ready to pay a heavy price, but unexpectedly, the barriers of the camps behind were unexpectedly weak.

There are a total of 12 barriers in Luobei, and the pattern of its distribution is five near the side of Beibi Mountain, with Changping as the core, and the plum blossoms are distributed before and after. The remaining seven are all long optimistic near the outside of the valley gate, and with it as the core, they are distributed left and right.

Therefore, Zhu Jun set up a total of two lieutenants in charge of the front and rear battalions in the Luobei Qunbi, the two were Gucheng Fan Qi and Zhongmu Panzhi.

Although these two people are not the crown family of Gyeonggi, they are also powerful people in their respective townships, especially Pan Zhi, who has a small literary style and is a romantic figure in the Gyeonggi circle.

But it's a pity that the general trend can no longer tolerate one or two people, and when Zhu Jun recruited Kyoto Junjie into the scene, Pan Zhi threw a pen from Rong to become a lieutenant under Zhu Jun.

The captain was originally a huge position of the military attache of the Han family, but now it is no different from an ordinary military assistant under the indiscriminate reward.

At this moment, when Guo Mo, the leader of the Leopard Tao Army, chose to continue the strong attack, it was Fan Qi who was in charge of the top five barriers.

Originally, when Zhu Jun chose him as the former lieutenant of the Luobei Barriers, he was very optimistic about this young martial artist.

He is not the same as Pan Zhi, Pan Zhi is a surrender outside the shogunate, and Fan Qi is a figure in his own bag, who has planned several successful military operations in the Battle of Cuihan in the past, and is a good military staff officer.

Originally, when choosing the person in charge of the Luobei Barrier Defense Line, Zhu Jun planned to let Pan Zhi be responsible, but in the end, after thinking about it, he still didn't have his own people to rest assured.

So, he put Fan Qi in charge of this line of defense.

Originally, Fan Qi did a very good job, digging trenches and building walls in the area of Changping, preparing to deal with the follow-up offensive of the Taishan army.

But the fierce and fearless appearance of the Leopard Tao Army fighting for huge casualties to take down the front camp wall made Fan Qi who was closing the position suddenly frightened.

In the next few dispatches, he lost his degree of progress and retreat, and he completely lost the calmness he had when he was in the rear shogunate.

He didn't send reinforcements when he should have sent them. When he should have held on, he rashly sent troops and was ambushed by the Leopard Tao army, and after several operations, Fan Qi did not dare to move.

In fact, this can't blame Fan Qi too much, because he has been doing the work of an assistant all the year round, and rarely presides over specific work, and he should need to hone for a few more years to come to his current position, but time is in a hurry, and he was put in a position beyond his ability by Zhu Jun.

Don't think that it is easy to dispatch military forces, it actually needs to test the ability of military commanders to resist pressure and experience on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, and if you want to dispatch troops in time, you must have a prediction of the changes in the battlefield in advance, and if the prediction is successful, you can play your own rhythm, and once the prediction is wrong, it is the price of human life.

At this moment, when hundreds of lives were pressed under Fan Qi's shoulders, he panicked, and the more he made mistakes, he was so wrong that he didn't dare to move anymore, so the result was doomed.

Guo Mo, the leader of the Leopard Tao Army opposite him, was undoubtedly old, he had been observing the movements of the Han army in the rear, and when he saw that the Han army that was often closed showed signs of dispatch, he decisively let the fifty tooth soldiers under his command go out to ambush the reinforcements.

On the line of communication, hundreds of Han troops who had just dispatched from Changping had not yet reached the attacked barrier before they were hit in the head by the Leopard Tao soldiers who were lying behind the dam.

These unprepared Han soldiers, as soon as they saw the ironclad soldiers with helmets and armor rushing out, they fled in shock, and without even a fight, they broke up to the west.

Coincidentally, when the second barrier in the north fell, the Han soldiers of the other barriers were terrified and fled from the barrier to the west.

There are also battalion commanders in these barriers, and they also plead with the officials under their command to inspire Tianliang and fight for the Han family.

But one of the rough officials replied with a wry smile:

"Isn't this Han room the Han room that you are waiting for? What does it have to do with me and these warriors? Didn't we eat meat? We are there when we want to fight hard? Do you say this male? ”

The battalion general persuaded again with tears, but the kindness of these officials and the Han family was over.

People are like this, you don't accumulate enough kindness in ordinary times, and finally at a critical time, you want others to work hard, then I'm sorry, it's not enough!

In fact, there is one thing to say, although they have never been treated by the Han family, these Han soldiers have never fought badly.

It's just that the battle has reached this point, and it's no longer a matter of desperate effort. The enemy is so strong that if he kills it again, it will be death. The previous fight has already paid off these days' salary, and now it's time to think about yourself.

So the men took off their armor, cut off their flags, and fled for their lives in the direction of their hometowns.

Finally, looking at the Han soldiers who fled in all directions, these battalions knew that the general situation had gone, and after looking up to the sky and howling, they also disguised themselves as people and fled from the battlefield.

For these routs, Guo Mo in the rear hurriedly ordered them to be let go, and then ordered all departments on the front line to quickly seize the opportunity and seize the barriers.

As a result, the drum horns in the north were raised, and the Leopard Tao army marched forward bravely, successively won three barriers, and for a time closed the position with the core fortifications of the Luobei group wall unimpeded.

At this moment, looking at the tragic situation of the flags fleeing outside the wall, Fan Qi closed his eyes in despair.

He has no way to live, and before the war, Zhu Jun had already given orders to the battalion generals on the outskirts of the fortress to supervise at all levels. The front battalion retreated, and the rear battalion beheaded the former general. The rear camp retreated, and the four gates beheaded their generals.

So, in the exclamation of his subordinates, Fan Qi jumped off Chang Ping and fell to his death.

After a while, Chang Ping surrendered.

After an hour and a half of fighting, the Leopard Tao army pulled out five fortifications on the northern periphery of Luo, and ran rampant.

When Chang closed the position and fell, the rear was optimistic, and Pan Zhi suddenly felt that the pressure doubled.

In the original distribution of troops, although the first five walls were small in number, they were the most refined and the most numerous, and the rear seven walls were mainly to maintain the supply line in Kyoto Castle and the first five walls.

Zhu Jun thought very well, and also took into account the supply lines of the city to the outer walls, but unfortunately, the Han soldiers in the northern suburbs did not need these at all, and they collapsed without any protracted war.

So, when the number of troops was already small, Pan Zhi decided to abandon the six outermost barriers and concentrate all his troops on the core of Chang Optimism.

This dynasty continued the former Han capital system and set up a pavilion five miles from the boundary of the Guo district outside each city gate to strengthen the outer defense of Kyoto.

And this long optimism is like this, it is the pavilion barrier outside the valley gate, it is a military permanent fortification, and the Changping position in the north is not the same as the military defense.

Therefore, Pan Zhi's idea is good, that is, he hopes to rely on a stronger long-term optimism to resist the pressure of the Leopard Tao Army.

But when Zhu Jun, who was at the head of Beicheng City, saw that the Han soldiers five miles away had abandoned the barrier and moved towards Chang Optimistic, he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

Ignoring the ministers on his side, Zhu Jun scolded:

"The son misunderstands me, the son misunderstands me."

At this moment, Zhu Jun's heart was sad, as if he had seen the result behind.

Sure enough, as Pan Zhi's side shrank its forces into Chang Optimism, the Leopard Tao Army Assault Cavalry, which had already arrived around, did not hinder them at all, and let these people in.

They just carried out a surprise attack on the last wave of Han soldiers, and after annihilating the dozens of Han soldiers who fell behind, these Taishan army assault cavalry directly gave up Chang Optimism, and then killed directly towards Gumen.

Pan Zhi, who was optimistic for a long time, was quite happy to see that most of the tactical goals were completed, but when he saw the back of the Taishan army riding away, he felt a sigh in his heart, as if he understood what he had done wrong.

Of course, Pan Zhi did something wrong, and very wrongly.

Why did Zhu Jun set up seven barriers in the Chang Optimistic area before? In addition to covering the supply line to the outer five walls, it is more actually to compress the line of the Taishan army, so that it does not have much room for expansion.

These seven walls spread out from side to side, covering the north wall of Kyoto, and with these seven barriers, it is not easy for the Taishan army to rush to the bottom of Kyoto.

And now? As Pan Zhi abandoned the other six barriers, he reduced his forces, and although he retained his strength, he lost room for maneuver.

The actions of the Taishan army soon confirmed this speculation.

After the leopard Tao army allowed the Han soldiers on the outer line of the barrier to shrink into Chang Optimism, they quickly took over these six barriers, and after occupying these six barriers, they not only surrounded the middle of Chang Optimism, but even relied on these six barriers to obtain the front line position for the attack on Kyoto City.

After compressing the Han soldiers to a single wall and completely occupying the northern line of communication, the strength advantage of the Taishan army began to be truly revealed.

Looking at the continuous flow of various military brigades from the foot of Beibi Mountain, and then merging into the outer barriers, Pan Zhi's hands and feet were cold, and he understood that he had caused a big disaster.

But there's still a chance!

After Zhu Jun in the northern city realized that there was a mistake on Pan Zhi's side, he immediately asked his general Guo Gong to lead 3,000 elite soldiers out of the city to intercept the Taishan army.

Guo Gong is the descendant of the Guo family in Luoyang, and unlike his family's literary style, Guo Gong chose to enter the army very early, and was a general that Zhu Jun valued when he was in the Yellow Turban of Pingrunan.

Guo Gong also showed his prominence in the wind and waves of the times in another plane, seized Yuzhou, and sat on tens of thousands of elite soldiers, which can be said to be the last remnant of Zhu Jun's lineage.

And in this era, Guo Gong is still working on his life under Zhu Jun, and at this moment he is going to take 3,000 elite soldiers from the battlefield of Cuihan to fight against the Taishan army!

In the dark doorway, Guo Gong was wrapped in iron armor and with an iron mask, quietly looking at the slowly opening city gate in front of him.

Since him, countless ironclad men have gasped, and they have felt the iron knives and hammers in their hands like a pack of hungry beasts.

A murderous aura permeated the darkness.

When the city gate was fully opened, the harsh sunlight from outside shone in, and the roar and noise outside the city also poured into the ears of these Han soldiers, so the wheezing sound became louder.

Guo Gong closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and after his eyes adjusted to the sunlight, he raised the iron spear in his hand, raised his arms vigorously, and then rushed out like a tiger and a leopard.

Behind him, hundreds of ironclad soldiers followed, rushing towards the Bao Tao soldiers who appeared.

And so, flesh and blood flew everywhere, howling all over the field.

……

After the war began, Zhang Chong returned to the camp in Beibi Mountain, where he was going to receive a group of guests.

They were all people near Gyeonggi, and after hearing that the Taishan army had arrived in Beibi Mountain, they brought the only remaining grain, rice, and firewood from their homes to meet the Taishan army.

All along, the military discipline of the Taishan army is strict, where the army passes, there is no crime in autumn, not only does not levy the people's food, does not demolish the people's houses, but also to a place to help a difficulty, to a place to solve a hurry.

It can be said that the Taishan army is the biggest outlier in the world, an army with violence as its essence has made the people forget its violent side, and only regard it as their own children.

In fact, this is the greatest wealth of the Taishan Army.

It is precisely because of this reputation that many people from Gyeonggi East Road traveled hundreds of miles to come here just to meet King Zhang, who gave them grain back then.

Many of them received a large amount of grain after Zhang Chong conquered Aocang in the past. Although many years have passed, this food has long been eaten, but this kindness is still there, and it is more and more precious in this difficult world.

Because at that time, a handful of rice could live a little brother in the family, and he could keep his little sister at home. Therefore, Zhang Chong scattered hundreds of thousands of stones of corn in Aocang, that is, hundreds of thousands of people lived because of this.

So, when the news of King Zhang's Shangluo reached Gyeonggi Dongdo, these people marched towards Luoyang in groups, and they brought the food from their families to see King Zhang.

In the past, Zhang Wang gave me a bite to eat, and now I want to pay back Zhang Wang.

They hid from the hunting groups in the countryside and endured starvation, in order to leave an extra grain of millet for the Tarzan army.

So when they appeared in front of Zhang Chong, they were all skinny and stinky.

But looking at the grain piled up outside the tent, although it is not much, it is the last grain for these people. Zhang Chong smiled, laughing and laughing, tears flowing out of the corners of his eyes.

It turns out that you are such a lovely group of people.
