Early the next morning after receiving the news of the Japanese army's march to the west, Wang Rong ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and go north. Song Mingbu led the soldiers of the Ninth Division to garrison Julu County, with Lou Wen as the guard of Julu County, and was also in charge of Zhao County and Wei County.

Such an arrangement is also unavoidable, after all, the two counties of Zhao and Wei have not been formally incorporated into the jurisdiction of the state army. Leaving Song Mingbu's army, in addition to guarding against the attack of Anping County, was to run two counties. After all, among the soldiers of the Ninth Division, many of them were born in Zhao and Wei counties, and they always had relatives and friends.

As long as the Bingzhou army is good enough to trust them, they will be able to spread the good of the Bingzhou army, and then the people of Zhao and Wei counties will know both the military prestige of the Bingzhou army and the favor of the Bingzhou army.

When the Bingzhou army arrived in Boling County, it was already past spring ploughing, and here, Wang Rong unexpectedly saw many people who should not be here.

Seeing Huang Fu Jian and Chu Kun leading, followed by a group of civil and military officials, Wang Wei asked with a smile, "Mr. Huangfu, Mr. Chu, why did you come here?" And the state is fine? Is there anything going on in Yongzhou?"

Huangfu Jian smiled and said, "Master Hou, let's not talk at the city gate, those young people can still bear it, but the old man can't."

Wang Rong nodded and said with a smile, "It's my negligence, let's enter the city quickly."

When everyone entered the county office, Wang Rong sat on the top, looked at the civil and military officials on the left and right, and said to Huang Fujian and Chu Kun, "What are the two gentlemen doing here?"

Huang Fujian and Chu Kun glanced at each other, and then Chu Kun said: "Military marshal, now the military jurisdiction of the state is not only merging the state, but spanning the three states of Yong, and Hebei, and you are still a Tang Hou, a little low."

Huang Fujian continued, "So we have discussed it and respectfully ask the military commander to take the position as the Duke of Tang Guo."

Wang Rong listened to Huang Fujian's words and was surprised. He blurted out, "Uh, sir, isn't that okay?"

Huangfu Jian smiled and said, "Marshal, if it weren't for the fear that you wouldn't be able to accept it, the ministers would like to invite you to the throne as the Tang King."

Wang Rong waved his hand and said, "It's already good to be promoted to the Duke of Tang Guo, so my Duke accepted it. Today, I am the capital of the Tang Kingdom."

"Ministers, see Grandpa!"

The civil and military officials got up one after another and saluted Wang Rong.

Wang Wei looked at Huang Fujian and Chu Kun and said, "Two gentlemen, now that Boling County is about to become a battlefield, please return to the state as soon as possible."

"What Grandpa said is that the old man is good at government affairs, and he is still not proficient in military affairs. The minister will take his leave and return to Yongzhou."

Chu Kun is very self-aware, he is not in the military, he has now been promoted to Yongzhou governor, Yongzhou is now only the city of Xucheng has not fallen, the new territory received, there are still a lot of affairs.

Huang Fujian looked at Wang Rong and said, "Grandpa, now that the Tang Kingdom has been established, the cause of the Tang Kingdom is thriving, and the official affairs are piled up, I have to go back early."

Wang Rong shouted to Wang Hao, who was guarding the door, "Ah! Send two teams of guards to escort the two gentlemen back!"

Wang Hao bowed down and replied, "Obey orders!"

There is no special ceremony for the throne of Tang Guogong, how it was before, and how Wang Rong is now. However, at this time, Wang Rong was in a hurry, and he was now busy dealing with the attack of the Japanese army.

In the first year of the Tang Dynasty, April 13, the beginning of the hour.

Although it is spring, the constant water is still cold and biting. On the wide Hengshui water, four pontoon bridges have been repaired for the army to walk, and the place where the pontoon bridges lead is Bolingdu, which is a little far away from Boling County, and there is a distance of ten miles.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The rumbling drum of gathering troops suddenly sounded in the Japanese army camp on the east bank of Hengshui, and in the Japanese army camp that had been silent for a long time, it was already full of people in an instant.

A Japanese scout with a flag on his back came to the leader of the Japanese army, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "General, the vanguard cavalry of our army has arrived at Bolingdu."

After the leader of the Japanese army confirmed that the vanguard cavalry sent had occupied the place of crossing the river, Huo Ran turned around, stared at the generals behind him with a pair of sharp eagle eyes, and shouted in a deep voice: "Hamada Uemon, where is Nagase Mototsuna!"

」

"The subordinates are here!"

"The subordinates are here!"

Two Japanese generals dressed in large armor stepped out of the crowd.

The leader of the Japanese army looked at the two of them and ordered, "You two, each of you will immediately cross the Hengshui River to Bolingdu, and cooperate with the vanguard cavalry to occupy the north bank!"

"No!"

Hamada Uemon and Nagase Mototsuna took the order, took over the order flag from the personal guard of the leader of the Japanese army, and quickly left for the headquarters.

At this time, at the bottom of the high slope where the leaders and generals of the Japanese army were located, the neighing of war horses began, and the sound of hurried horse hooves came from near to far.

One after another, orders were issued up and down the high slope where the leader of the Japanese army was located, and the camp of the Japanese army on the east bank of Hengshui was completely revived.

One by one, the heralds descended the high slope, and countless messengers galloped out of the high slope, carrying the orders of the Japanese army leaders to all sides.

For a time, the entire east coast was full of white flags, and countless generals commanded their soldiers to go out of the camp, waving military flags in response to the leader's orders.

Don't get me wrong, the white flag of the Japanese army is not the same as the white flag of surrender, and it is painted with various patterns, which is the family crest of each general, and it is also the command flag of the command.

The sound of trumpets in the camp of the Japanese army was undulating, and the rumbling of war drums was endless.

On the west bank of the Hengshui River, Wang Wei was dressed in fish scale armor, and Wang Wei was protected by his personal guards, standing on a mound.

A group of Tang army generals were lined up on both sides of Wang Rong, and eight generals were lined up in a line.

On the left: Chu Luxu, Wu Luo, Yuan Tiangang, Meng Song, Wei Yue, Hao Meng.

On the right: Li Sujie, Zhang Gengxiao, Zhang Yunshu, Song Wenbai.

The wind was cold, and Wang Rong's ink-colored banner was hunting. After the flag, the flags of the various departments of the Tang Army also fluttered in the wind, and the colors of the flags were also connected with the Tang sergeants under their banners, which was as shocking as the raging Styx.

Naturally, the actions of the Japanese army on the east bank did not escape Wang Rong's sight. As early as ten days ago, the Japanese army had reached the east bank of the Hengshui River, but after a long march, the Japanese soldiers needed to rest and build a pontoon bridge to cross the river.

At this time, the Japanese army, which had been sleeping for a long time on the east bank of the Hengshui River, finally opened its bloodthirsty eyes like a tiger in the mountains, and it crawled up, shook its head and began to move its muscles and bones.

The long sleep made it feel extremely hungry, and the delicious prey was on the western shore of the constant water, and the tiger roared to swallow the prey in front of it in one gulp.

However, the dangerous aura revealed by Tang Jun's prey made it a little afraid. Eventually, however, it poked out its claws, revealing its sharp fangs.

The scouts of the Tang army had already discovered the location of the pontoon bridge of the Japanese army, and the river surface was unobstructed, how could it be hidden from the scouts' eyes.

Just as the Japanese army crossed the river, the cavalry of the 7th Division of the Tang Army had already swarmed out of the city, and a large number of foot soldiers of the 7th Division of the Tang Army left Boling County under the leadership of generals and colonels at all levels.

Almost the entire west bank of the Ganges River was fluttering with a large number of ink-colored battle flags. It was simply too difficult for the Tang army to guard against Hengshui, because here, the terrain on both sides of Hengshui was flat, and most places could be used as landing places. In some shallow places, the Japanese army was even able to wade through the water, posing a threat to the Tang army on the west bank

Wang Rong did not choose to block the pontoon bridge, but let the Japanese army over. After the analysis of Zhang Yunshu and others who joined the army, there is a characteristic of the Japanese army in warfare, that is, they fight fiercely and rush violently.

The Japanese army's several victories over the Ji army were basically a slight superiority in troops, and at the same time, they oppressed the enemy with a fierce momentum that was not afraid of death. This is followed by flanking or concentrating elite assaults in the center. That indomitable momentum seemed to pierce the sky.

Therefore, Wang Rong decided to lure the enemy deeper, and at the pontoon bridge, there were a large number of Japanese soldiers standing on the shore with bows and arrows, vigilantly looking at the west bank of the Hengshui, as long as the Tang army dared to attack, it was a thousand arrows.

Of course, the scouts of the Japanese army also discovered the Tang army, and they ran back and forth, waving the order flag, and reporting the Tang army's movements to the leader of the Japanese army.

The dull sound of the horn sounded, and the foot soldiers of the Japanese army stepped on the pontoon bridge on the Heng River, began to cross the river quickly, and then assembled at Bolingdu.

Able to travel long distances to Boling County

The army is the elite of the Japanese army in the Hebei country, and it far surpasses the two Japanese armies in the south in terms of armament and training.

In just a moment's effort, these Japanese troops who had just landed on the ground lined up their military formations under the leadership of their respective generals and colonels and launched a defense at Bolingdu.

"Where is Chu Luxu?!"

Wang Rong raised the horsewhip in his hand slightly, and a personal soldier behind him carried out a command flag.

"The end will be!"

Chu Luxu stepped forward immediately and obeyed his orders.

Wang Rong directly ordered: "Order you to lead the state to attack Bolingdu, restrict the Japanese army's cavalry, and wait for the military order."

"No!"

Chu Luxu promised loudly, received the military order, and took over the order flag from Wang Rong's personal soldiers.

"Where is Song Wenbai?!"

Wang Rong continued to give orders, shouting loudly, and another personal soldier behind him also carried out a command flag.

"The end will be!"

Song Wenbai sat down on the war horse with his legs slightly clamped, and dragged the mount forward to listen to the order.

Wang Rong looked at him, took the order flag from his own soldiers, and handed it to him: "The infantry of the 7th Division went up to the front and set up a defensive formation, while the cavalry of the 7th Division cruised in Bolingdu, waiting for the opportunity to move, waiting for orders."

"No!"

Song Wenbai respectfully took the order flag from him.

Wang Rong issued several military orders in a row, and the herald with the ink on his back next to the Daxu flag quickly passed through the military formation of the Tang army and passed the military orders to the four directions.

Then Wang Rong rode out of the battle, he dragged the red clouds under the seat, stepped out of the sanitation of the generals, and walked to the front of the Tang army's array. Li Sujie, Zhang Gengxiao and others also rode horses and followed closely behind Wang Rong.

The eyes of everyone in the Tang Army's large array converged on Wang Rong's body.

Wang Rong raised the saber in his hand high, met the eyes of the soldiers in the large array, and roared angrily to the sky: "The Tang army is mighty!"

The cavalry of the guards behind him immediately let out a terrifying cry: "The general is mighty!"

Immediately afterwards, the entire Tang Army formation was also completely boiling: "The general is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!"
