Chapter 704 Yang Gong, Return
Yang Dong also knew very well in his heart what the rest army meant to the empress.
If it weren't for the extremely critical moment, the empress would never use a single soldier of the Sabbath Army.
Even when Lin Chunqiu was in control of the court, the Sabbath Army never dispatched.
But this time, the empress actually used the Sabbath Army!
This has already reflected the tension in Xiongguan from the side.
Looks like I'm going to have to speed up my return!
Yang Dong made a decision in his heart, made a quick decision, and rode his horse again and galloped in the direction of the capital.
The difference is that he has changed his destination to Xiongguan.
In the face of an enemy ten times larger than the Warrior Army, if it weren't for the Rest Army, the Warrior Army would probably suffer heavy losses!
You must know that the Brave Army is a legion established by Yang Dong single-handedly!
Yang Dong even thought about building the Yongwu Army into a strong army that swept the world.
But at this moment, the Yongwu Army is facing the biggest crisis since its establishment!
On the high-speed official road in Luozhou, a man and a horse are galloping wildly.
I have to say that with the blessing of the high-speed official road, Yang Dong's road can be described as unimpeded.
At the same time, he also sent a handwritten letter to Commander Yu, the content of which was nothing more than a request for help.
If it were the past, even if he had more than enough heart on the commander's side, he would not have enough strength.
After all, although Luozhou is not far from the capital, the original road is difficult to walk, and with a large number of people marching, the speed will only be slower.
However, this time is different from the past, after the construction of the high-speed official road, the speed of the march has greatly increased.
It only takes a maximum of seven days to reach Xiongguan. This is also because the high-speed official roads around the capital have not yet been built.
Otherwise, it will be shortened by at least two days.
……
Los Angeles,
Longwu Army Battalion,
Commander Yu looked at the secret letter in his hand and fell into deep thought,
Yang Dong's letter of request for help was attached great importance to the commander.
How many reinforcements can be sent is a question worth pondering.
On the rebel side, the soldiers are strong.
Over the years, due to the full support of the imperial court, the soldiers under Yang Yan can be said to be the most elite group of the Great Zhou.
Of course, Long Wujun's own foundation is actually no weaker than the soldiers in Yang Yan's hands.
But the problem is that after Lin Chunqiu's coup failed, Lin Luo took away nearly half of the elite of the Dragon Martial Army.
Today's Longwu Army is not only seriously injured because of Lin Luo's solitary vitality, but also shoulders the responsibility of guarding the entire Luozhou.
Therefore, it is certainly unrealistic to want to mobilize a large number of troops to help. Thinking about it, His Majesty did not mobilize the Long Wu Army, which is also what it means.
Thinking of this, Commander Yu rubbed his eyebrows with some worry.
Although Yang Gong only borrowed 1,000 elite soldiers from him, in the eyes of the commander, the situation in Xiongguan, let alone only 1,000 elite soldiers, even if all the 8,000 dragon martial troops were transferred, I am afraid it would be difficult to turn the tide of the battle.
And Yang Gong only needs a thousand elite soldiers......
After a brief silence, Commander Yu spoke:
"Immediately go and transfer 2,000 elite soldiers from the barracks to help Xiongguan."
……
A cold wind blows,
The sky is cold, and the earth is frozen for thousands of miles.
Above the Xiongguan, Commander Ma looked at the rebel camp in his sight, his brows furrowed.
In recent days, however, there has been no sign of further movement by these rebels.
But the problem is that anyone who has studied the art of war knows that winter is the most suitable for marching and fighting.
Logistics and supply are difficult, and if the soldiers are not careful, they will develop chilblains and even get sick.
However, the rebels have no intention of retreating!
Looking at the white smoke rising at noon every day, Commander Ma's heart sank to the bottom.
Since these rebel armies do not intend to retreat, there is only one possibility, they also intend to organize an offensive, and there is no doubt that it will be a big battle on the scale of a decisive battle!
Although the last surprise attack of the Sabbath Army caused a lot of vitality to the rebels.
But for the rebels, it didn't really hurt the bones.
But the Sabbath Army, I'm afraid it won't, and it can't move anymore.
The next big battle, for the brave army, may be a decisive battle of life and death.
"Where's the herald?"
The herald, with gray temples, immediately walked to the side of the horse commander.
"Commander Ma, what do you command?"
"Pass the order, put more meat in today's meal. The children have been watching for so many days, and they need to improve. ”
When the herald heard this, he subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refute.
Because he knows very well that the logistics of Xiongguan are no longer available.
As the weather gets colder and colder, the logistics from the capital are becoming more and more difficult.
In addition, the consumption of artillery battles is extremely large, so most of the supplies sent over are occupied by artillery battles.
The grain and grass sent can only supply the present.
And those meats were still carried with the army when they first arrived in Xiongguan.
However, he is also experienced in a hundred battles, so it can naturally be seen that the rebel army will obviously not give up.
So...... Eat it!
Counting the days, even if the rebels launch a general attack, they will not wait too long.
I'm afraid, it's been these days......
Thinking of this, the herald nodded lightly and turned to deliver the order!
Commander Ma sighed lightly and looked at the capital behind him.
I don't know if Yang Gong will return to the capital now.
As long as Yang Gong comes back, there will definitely be a way to solve the current dilemma.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the herald with gray temples suddenly going and returning.
"Commander Ma, here, he's here!"
When Commander Ma heard this, his expression was slightly stunned.
At this moment, a small black dot appeared at the farthest end of his line of sight.
This little black dot is extremely fast, and soon takes on the appearance of a man and a horse.
At this moment, Commander Ma's face showed an expression of surprise and relief.
Yang Gonghe...... Finally back.
……
Xiongguanxia,
Yang Dong was wearing a robe,
Before he got off the horse, he was surrounded by the brave soldiers guarding the pass.
For these soldiers, Yang Gong's existence is tantamount to a god-like figure!
Not only do they have the most sophisticated equipment, but they also have a variety of weapons that have never been seen before, such as cannons.
"Yang Gong, you're finally back!"
"Yang Gong, when will you take us to taste the immortal drunk again? Last time, I was drunk with the immortals in our village, and they didn't believe it at all! ”
"Yang Gong, we ......"
Yang Dong listened to the soldiers, and his heart was full of emotion.
He got up suddenly, and with the power of qi and blood, he stood in mid-air.
"Brothers, after the matter is over, my father invites you to drink wine and eat meat openly!"
"It's just a chaotic thief, don't worry!"
The soldiers already admired the strong, and Yang Dong's hand stood out of thin air, which immediately impressed the soldiers.
But even so, there were still some soldiers with worries flashing in their eyes.
"Yang Gong, the strength of those rebels is not weak, and they are ten times our number. Aren't we ......?"
