Chapter 969, Amole is lost
What's going on? How could another HRE army come here? It turned out that after Catherine sent Marcel and his 30,000 elites, she felt that the opponent was the Ming army, and she was afraid that Marcel's part alone would make a mistake if she captured the fortress of Amole, so she sent another 20,000 elites and 100,000 servants to follow up. Fortunately, Catherine made this decision, otherwise, Marcel's troops would have been completely defeated and driven out by the Ming army at this moment.
More than 100,000 Shinra troops surrounded Shi Ping's war cavalry, rushing and killing in all directions, as if countless wild beasts were going crazy and pounced on their prey. The Ming war cavalry resisted desperately, killing people like bloody people, horses like bloody horses, suffering heavy casualties, and the situation was very dangerous! There have been many conflicts everywhere, but they have rushed away from one and two, and two and four together, and the Shenluo army has surrounded the Ming army, no matter how brave the soldiers of the Ming army are, they can't rush out at all!
Seeing that Shi Ping's department was in danger, I was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out!
Suddenly, there was a lot of killing in the north, and tens of thousands of Ming infantry troops rushed over from the north and rushed into the encirclement of the Shenluo army! The Ming soldiers are like wolves and tigers, and they kill the past with a bold sword! The Shenluo army was caught off guard and was killed by the Ming infantry army and caught Shi Ping. Shi Ping immediately led his cavalry to join the infantry soldiers and soldiers to the north to fight out of the encirclement. At this time, the square was already pillowed with corpses, and blood was pouring out.
Shi Ping saw Huyan Chijin and shouted: "Seventh sister-in-law, let's fight back against the enemy together, we can't let them win the city!" Huyan Chijin shouted, "That's how it should be! Immediately, Shi Ping led his cavalry to turn around and kill the enemy, while Huyan Chijin led his infantry to rush up. Marcel saw the enemy rushing up, and immediately raised his sword and shouted, and more than ten thousand Shinra soldiers rushed up like a tide. Due to the limited space, there were only tens of thousands of Shinra soldiers facing the Ming army head-on, and other soldiers and horses overflowed from both sides and outflanked the rear of the Ming army.
The armies of the two sides collided with each other, fought fiercely, and the killing was inextricable. At this moment, the outflanked HRE army appeared from the rear. Shi Ping saw that the situation was not good, and immediately said to Huyan Chijin: "Seventh sister-in-law, there are too many enemies, and it is too unfavorable for us to gather together to fight with the enemy, so we should attack the enemy army in separate ways!" Huyan Chijin nodded and said loudly: "We will take thousands of people as a team and attack the enemy army in separate ways, vowing to drive the enemy army out!" The two of them immediately went to do it, leaving only the cavalry and thousands of infantry troops still fighting Marcel and tens of thousands of HRE troops in the square, while the other soldiers and horses broke into the streets and alleys.
In the streets and alleys, the fierce battles continued, the Ming soldiers moved forward bravely, and the officers and soldiers of the Shenluo were also desperately attacking, like the same ferocious beasts colliding together, killing flesh and blood! A moment later, in some streets and alleys, the Shenluo army was defeated by the Ming army in one fell swoop, and some streets and alleys were still fighting fiercely, but in other streets and alleys, the Ming army was in a desperate situation!
Huyan Chijin felt that the battle situation in the Amolle fortress was not good, so he prepared to order Li Xu's camp to send troops to support. Then at this moment, the foot of the mountain on Li Xu's side was also full of drums and horns, and the troops were like a tide, and the HRE army approached the area guarded by Li Xu's troops. The battle began immediately, and the HRE army continued to pour up the mountain in waves, and Li Xu's side had no way to free up his hands to support the Amol Fortress.
Soon after, an urgent report came that General Shiping and General Huyan Chijin were defeated by the enemy and had withdrawn from the fortress of Amole. Yang Peng's expression was still calm, but Yan Ji's face changed greatly, and she looked at her lover a little overwhelmed. Seeing that his lover looked calm, his originally worried heart couldn't help but calm down a lot.
Soon after, the fierce attack on the mountain suddenly stopped the attack and retreated, and the originally noisy and fierce battlefield calmed down in an instant.
Seeing that the enemy had retreated, Yan Ji asked puzzledly, "Why did the enemy retreat?" β
Yang Peng looked at the bottom of the mountain and said lightly: "Their goal has been achieved, so they will naturally retreat." β
At this moment, Li Lang, the captain of the secret guard, rushed to Yang Peng and reported: "Your Majesty, Shi Ping, Huyan Chijin, the two generals are back. Before the words fell, Yang Peng saw Shi Ping, Huyan, and Chijin riding horses. When he came to a short distance, he turned over and went straight to Yang Peng, and with a plop, he knelt down on one knee. Huyan Chijin said with great shame: "Your Majesty, we have not been able to recapture the fortress of Amole, please deal with us by military law!" β
Yang Peng said calmly: "Get up." The two couldn't help but glance at each other and stood up.
Yang Peng said to Shi Ping: "Shi Ping, tell me the specific story." β
Shi Ping replied, and then recounted the details of the battle, and finally said: "Your Majesty, although we tried our best, in the end we were still unable to defeat the enemy, so we had no choice but to retreat. β
Yang Peng said: "I don't blame you for this matter, I was negligent." Then he laughed at himself: "I think back then, we didn't do this to the enemy, but I didn't expect to be put on such a scene by the opponent now!" Shi Ping and Huyan Chijin were depressed.
Yang Peng asked the two, "How much have you lost your soldiers and horses?" How many people did you bring back? β
Shi Ping hugged his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, nearly 3,000 casualties were lost among the 5,000 cavalry under the command of the last general, and more than 2,000 people came back. Huyan Chijin followed and hugged his fists and said: "The 20,000 infantry troops under the command of the last general have suffered nearly 5,000 casualties, and more than 16,000 have returned. β
Yang Peng nodded, looked at the two of them, and asked, "What about the guards of the Amole Fortress?" How many are left? The two glanced at each other, and Shi Xiu said: "Of the three thousand defenders, almost all of them were killed, and few survived. β
Yang Peng was silent for a moment, and said to the two: "You all go down and rest." The two of them hugged their fists and retreated.
Yang Peng saw Yan Ji's worried look, smiled and asked, "Are you worried?" β
Yan Ji couldn't help but say, "Husband, although I don't know much about military affairs, I also know the importance of the Amolle Fortress to us. Fort Amolle is not only our logistical supply transit base, but also the only way for us to retreat! Now that the fortress of Amol is occupied by the enemy, we are in a very bad situation! β
Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "What you said is very correct. β
Yan Ji was stunned, and said angrily: "Husband, why are you still so calm at this moment?" β
Yang Peng smiled and said, "Do you want your husband to be as panicked as an ant on a hot pot to be happy?" Yan Ji was stunned for a moment, and glanced at her lover angrily. Seeing that his lover was in deep thought, he didn't dare to disturb.
Marcel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that he had finally repelled the Ming army, and immediately ordered the four doors to be closed to check the loss. Soon after, the general rushed to Marcel and reported: "Your Excellency, the losses of our army have been roughly counted, with about 15,000 dead and wounded in the main army and about 10,000 in the servant army. Marcel frowned and muttered, "The loss is so great!" If it weren't for the enemy's defenselessness, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to take this fortress at all! β
At this time, a herald rushed in, saluted Marcel, and then said: "Your Majesty has been informed of the victory of Your Excellency the General in recovering the fortress of Amole, and Your Majesty is very appreciative of the excellent performance of Your Excellency the General and all the soldiers. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but show joy. Marcel bowed slightly and said, "Finally, I have lived up to His Majesty's trust!" The herald said, "Your Majesty ordered me to send an order to Your Excellency the General, and to order Your Excellency the General to guard to the death, and without Your Majesty's order, you must not lead the army to attack under any circumstances!" Marcel bowed and said, "Obey Your Majesty's military orders!" β
The herald said, "Your Majesty still wants me to ask Your Excellency the General, what else do you need?" β
Marcel immediately said: "A lot of gunpowder is needed. If the cannon can be transported, it will not be better, but the three roads are steep and rugged, and the cannon is afraid that it will not be able to be transported. The herald said, "I will immediately report the words of Your Excellency the General to Your Majesty." Marcel bowed and said, "Yes." The herald bowed and hurried away.
Marcel immediately summoned the generals, conveyed some orders, and then went to rest.
Yang Peng on the mountain couldn't sleep at the moment, and the current situation was much more sinister than expected. Yang Peng stood in front of the map, looking at the map and thinking, considering the worst-case scenario, Yang Peng couldn't help frowning. However, Yang Peng was not surprised at all by the current situation, after all, the opponent was Shenluo, and it was reasonable to compete with him, even if it was a bad situation.
Yan Ji's hurried footsteps entered the big tent, and then Yan Ji's slightly panicked voice came: "Husband, Yelu has sent an urgent report of the military situation!" β
Yang Peng's heart moved, and he turned around. Yan Ji immediately handed the military report to Chen Xiao. Yang Peng took the military newspaper, read it, and muttered: "Have you already captured the north and east shores of the Caspian Sea?" It was a little faster than I expected. β
Yan Ji said worriedly: "Husband, there are only a few elite troops in Yelu's hands, and the rest are military army, in the face of the onslaught of the Byzantine Empire, I am afraid, I am only afraid of ......"
Yang Peng waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much." Then he muttered in thought: "Even if you throw away the entire Khorezm Sea, it's nothing!" β
When Yan Ji heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked, because the meaning of her husband's words was obviously that she also felt the disadvantage of the battle situation. Then he frowned and said, "Husband, your safety is too important!" I think we should immediately gather forces to protect my husband and break through! β
Yang Peng smiled: "You don't have to be nervous, it's fine." β
Yan Ji said excitedly: "How can it be okay?" There are 700,000 or 800,000 enemy troops surrounding us! β
Yang Peng smiled: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." Then he thought: "Now is the most critical time, how can we retreat at this time!" Yan Ji said: "I think the victory or defeat of this battle is far less important than the safety of the husband!" β
Yang Peng smiled and said, "I know what you think. But I'm not just your husband, I'm also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This war is related to the future and fate of the Ming Dynasty, and I must not escape from the battle. Seeing that Yan Ji was still going to persuade, he raised his finger and pressed her red lips, and said with a smile: "My husband has already decided, so don't say it again!" Yan Ji took away her lover's fingers, glanced at him helplessly and angrily, but said nothing more.
At this moment, Li Lang's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, there is a military intelligence report coming." β
Yang Peng knew that Li Lang must have come in just now, but after coming in, he saw that he and Yan Ji were alone, so he quickly retreated, and then reported loudly. Yang Peng smiled slightly, and raised his voice: "What is the name of the middle of the night, come in." β
Li Lang promised and hurried in. came to Yang Peng and Yan Ji and presented a report to Yang Peng.
Yang Peng took the report, opened it and looked at it, he couldn't help frowning slightly, who had never been the same as Mount Tai collapsed.
Yan Ji saw that her lover's expression was different, and couldn't help asking, "Husband, what's the situation?" β
Yang Peng put down the report and said, "It's a report from Guan Ping." The situation on Kunlun Island is critical. When Yan Ji heard this, she couldn't help but change her complexion.
At the same time, Catherine also received a report on the situation of the battle on Kunlun Island. Catherine couldn't help but be a little annoyed that her huge fleet and naval army could not capture a small Kunlun Island for a long time. He immediately wrote a handwritten letter, which was immediately passed on to the navy that was besieging Kunlun Island.
As soon as the herald left, another herald hurried in and bowed to Catherine, "Your Majesty, Lord Mo Hao has sent a flying pigeon herald. Then he stepped forward and presented the letter.
Catherine's heart moved, and she took the letter, opened it, and read it. The generals saw the joy on His Majesty's beautiful face, and knew that there must be good news. Sure enough, I saw His Majesty say: "Mo Haotian has sent a report that he is about to take action." He was ready for everything, and he was absolutely sure of this big thing. β
Everyone looked happy, and Di Mu said excitedly: "Great! If there is chaos in the Ming Dynasty, their army will inevitably be in chaos, and then we can defeat them in one go! The generals echoed and felt that the future was bright.
Just then, an officer rushed in. The crowd immediately stopped talking and looked at him. I saw the officer report to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, Your Excellency General Marcel has sent a special envoy to report to Your Majesty that we have rescued Generalissimo MΓΌller and all the generals who had been captured by the enemy at the fortress of Amole. Now His Excellency Field Marshal Muller, and the Excellencies of the Generals have been brought. β
Everyone whispered, and many of the generals had a look of disdain evident on their faces.
Catherine looked at the eyes of the generals and raised her voice: "You have all fought with the Ming Army, and I believe you have a deep understanding of the strength of the Ming Army." In that case, no one would have done it better than Marshal MΓΌller. Which of you would dare to say that you could break out of the encirclement in that situation? The generals couldn't help but think about it, and only felt that if it was themselves, I was afraid that the result would be the same as Marshal Muller, and the contempt for Muller in their hearts couldn't help but fade a lot.
Catherine said to the officer, "Bring in Marshal Muller." The officer said yes and retreated, and then saw Mueller and seven or eight other people come in, and everyone looked a little embarrassed. When Mueller and the others saw Catherine sitting at the top, their hearts could not help but feel ashamed, and they bowed together: "Meet Her Majesty!" β
Catherine said, "No need to be polite. The crowd straightened up.
Catherine glanced at everyone, and saw that they were all much haggard, and couldn't help but sigh, "You have worked hard! β
Everyone couldn't help but be moved when they saw that Her Majesty the Empress not only did not blame, but spoke like this. Mueller said with great shame: "The last general is incompetent, and he has damaged the military prestige of the empire, please punish Your Majesty!" The other generals also pleaded guilty.
Catherine said, "You don't have to take this matter too seriously. In that case, if you change to any general in the Imperial Army, I am afraid that the result will not be better. Everyone was moved, and the burden in their hearts couldn't help but be unloaded a lot.
General Di Mu said loudly: "In that case, we will definitely not be spared, but if Your Majesty commands the army, we will definitely be able to survive in a desperate situation and turn the tide!" When the generals heard this, they echoed it.
Catherine smiled and did not speak. Then he said to Mueller and the others: "You are in the ranks." Then they went to the end of the left and right sides and stood up. In fact, according to MΓΌller's status as the Imperial Marshal, he should be at the top of the left, and the other generals should definitely stand in the front position. However, because of the recent experience, Muller and the others were ashamed, how dare they rank in front of the front. Catherine knew what MΓΌller and the others were thinking, so she let them go.
Catherine looked at the letter she had just received and thought, "I hope Mo Haotian's actions will be smooth sailing, in that case, we will win!" β
Di Mu said loudly: "Mo Haotian, they will definitely be able to succeed, after all, the Ming people have mobilized all their forces to the west. Everyone agreed, and they were all very optimistic. Catherine nodded thoughtfully.
The gaze turned to Bianliang.
That night, Mo Haotian had a secret discussion with several cronies for a long time.
A few days later, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the city was filled with lanterns early in the morning, and various garden activities were lively. The streets are full of people, and the local people and people from all over the world are shuttling through the streets and alleys to enjoy the festive atmosphere, and there is a scene of laughter and jubilation everywhere.
And behind this festive scene, an undercurrent is surging.
Late at night, the city is still bustling. At this time, the streets and alleys of the city were crowded in the direction of the palace, but because the streets were full of people, this situation did not attract anyone's attention.
Soon after, people from all directions converged on the street outside the palace harem gate. This area is completely different from the noisy and lively reception in front of it, it is very quiet and there are few pedestrians.
A man in black ripped off the black cloak on his body, and it was Mo Haotian. Mo Haotian looked at the people around him and asked, "Have you all arrived?" β
Yang Tai, a close confidant, immediately said: "More than 2,500 brothers have arrived. β
Mo Haotian nodded, "Very good." Then he looked at another cronie, the chubby Fan Hong, and asked, "Are all other aspects ready?" Fan Hong immediately hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, Son, everything is ready!" Just now, news came from the merchants that their nobles and the 20,000 horses assembled by Shilin had been assembled outside the city; General Sun Bo also sent news that his soldiers and horses have been assembled, and they will immediately start to seize the city gate when we are ready to launch it! "Sun Bo, who was originally a general in the Northwest Military System of the Song Dynasty, later surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Due to his limited capabilities, the Military Council transferred him from the main force to Bianliang as the deputy commander of the Bianliang City Defense Force. The defense army of Bianliang City is collectively called Niu Ben, brave and good at fighting, loyal, and the old man of the Ming army system.
Mo Haotian was overjoyed when he heard Fan Hong's words, and only felt that this major event was already in his hands.
At this moment, the embroidered girl Zhang rushed over, saw Mo Haotian, and immediately called: "Son, you are here!" β
Mo Haotian hurriedly greeted him and asked urgently, "What's the situation?" β
Zhang Xiunu smiled: "Niangniang has done it." At present, the guards at the gate of this harem are all Niangniang's cronies, and everyone will not be hindered in any way. Niangniang sent me to greet the prince and all the strong men, and the cronies and palace maids who were responsible for leading the way are currently waiting in the palace gate. β
Mo Haotian laughed, and then said to his subordinates: "Brothers, Da Ming has hurt us enough, it's time to change the dynasty!" After the big thing is done, you will all be knighted one by one! When everyone heard this, they were all excited.
Mo Haotian took a steel knife from one person's hand, and immediately rushed towards the palace gate, and everyone also took out their weapons and followed closely.
A large group of people rushed to the palace gate, and someone on the palace gate suddenly shouted: "Stop! Who? Everyone became nervous and looked at Zhang Xiunu in unison. Zhang Xiunu was very calm, and immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Ziyang flowers bloom!" The man at the palace gate immediately responded, "Long live the Queen." It's you, come in. β
Immediately, the palace door opened, and Zhang Xiunu looked at Mo Haotian. Mo Haotian nodded with a smile, and immediately led a group of outlaws under him into the palace gate.
Immediately, the palace door closed, and several palace maids greeted him. Zhang Xiunu pointed to the palace maids and introduced: "They are the cronies of the mother." Then he said to the palace maids: "This is the Haotian warrior who came to help the mother!" The palace maids immediately bowed to Mo Haotian Yingying: "I've seen the son!" Everyone saw her slender and beautiful, and her voice was tactful, and they couldn't help but shake their hearts a little. However, before the big event, it is inconvenient for everyone to make any moves, and they just want to hug a few beautiful palace maids to enjoy themselves after the big event is completed.
The palace maid at the head said to Mo Haotian: "The situation has changed slightly, all the imperial concubines and princes and princesses are now gathered by the lake in the back garden to admire the moon and drink. Niangniang asked Haotian and the strong men to go directly to the back garden. Mo Haotian smiled: "This is good, they are all gathered in one place, just catch them all!" Then he said to the palace maid: "Quickly lead the way!" The palace maid made a promise, and led the way with the other palace maids. The outlaws looked at the swaying waists of the palace maids in front of them, and the plump buttocks, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
