Chapter 294: Defending Linjing Pass
"Didn't I prepare my army in advance?"
Ye Lie opened his mouth and said, "I have been preparing for reform and continuous development all year round, who knew that those traitors would follow the Huns?" ”
He originally thought that as long as he had weapons, as long as the army was concentrated and trained a little, under the asymmetrical technology, he could win the foreign enemy.
Can...... Who knows, the other party actually has its own weapons, and a large piece of equipment in his armory has been stolen!
"Okay, let's not talk about these things."
"Let's think about how to spend these three days."
Ye Lie said and sighed.
He believed that Ye Yu needed to prepare, and three days was already beyond the speed at which he could comprehend the pace of gathering troops.
"Your Majesty, with the current manpower and weapons and equipment, if you want to defend the three northern cities, I'm afraid the battle front is too wide."
The black tiger thought about it and said, "Do you want to take the initiative to retreat?" ”
Ye Lie listened to his words, looked at the map of the Jia Dynasty, and fell into deep thought.
The three northern cities, Tangcheng, Yuncheng, and Xiaocheng, are the gateways that guard the Jingshi behind the Great Wall.
If these three cities are lost, then the next thing the enemy will face is the Jingshi!
At this moment, Ye Lie also understood what it meant to be the Son of Heaven guarding the country.
Keep retrieving on the map.
Because the three northern cities did not enter into rapid development, the railway was not laid there.
Ye Lie wanted to carry out reforms from the south to the north, and there was no railway laid at the northern gateway.
This is also a blessing in disguise.
But the enemy army has to face the Jing Division, and it is difficult for Ye Lie to guarantee that he can hold it for three days.
He searched the map and finally saw a glimmer of life.
"Linjing Pass!"
Ye Lie and Black Tiger blurted out.
If you enter from these three cities, Linjing Pass is the only flat road that can be walked, both sides of Linjing Pass are high mountains, the terrain is narrow, and the cliffs and cliffs cannot be passed by the infantry, let alone cavalry!
These two continuous mountain ranges are like natural barriers, guarding the Jingshi.
If all the troops are withdrawn to Linjing Pass for defense, there may be a glimmer of life!
Because from the origin of the Jia Dynasty to the present, there have been basically not too many northern invasions, so they have almost forgotten this ancient pass.
Before them, there were several dynasties, in the face of invasion from the north, they all used the pass of Linjing Pass to defend.
"Your Majesty, Linjing Pass can be prevented, but Linjing Pass is too close to Jingshi, if it is lost, Jingshi will have no power to fight back."
Black Tiger frowned.
"I can only give it a go, let all the troops withdraw to Linjing Pass tonight, do a good job of defense, and leave the troops behind the palace in the three cities, and retreat while fighting."
Ye Lie thought about it and said, "Give an order to Tang Xu on the front line!" ”
Tang Xu is the person he has unearthed now, who was born as a businessman but has absolute military talent.
It is also the hope for the future of his military department.
"Yes!"
The black tiger didn't leave, because Ye Lie still had something to say.
"The rest of the artillery will be moved out and covered at the front of the Beijing Division."
"If Ye Yu comes, you receive him, I will ......"
Before Ye Lie could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the black tiger.
The black tiger knew that Ye Lie wanted to increase his morale.
"Your Majesty, the minister has seen Tang Xu's ability, please trust Tang Xu, guard the Beijing Division, and wait for reinforcements."
The black tiger said with a firm look in his eyes.
"Okay, I'm going to the artillery position in person, tonight, all the people in the military department are ready, and some soldiers will be gathered from all over the country first."
"How many more can be called?"
Ye Lie nodded.
"According to the current situation of the Jia Dynasty, there can only be an army of 20,000 at most, otherwise the production and life of the people will be hit."
Black Tiger said and sighed.
Invaded from the north, they had already gathered a full army of 100,000.
Although the economy has recovered, the population will not recover so quickly.
This 100,000 is already Ye Lie's limit.
Another 20,000 people are also the limit of the limit.
The economic collapse of the Jia Dynasty will be in the middle of the line.
Of course, he also realized how stupid he was before.
A million army fought Ye Yu, an army of more than 300,000 fought King Gong and King Shun, and finally the whole country had to pour out the strength of the whole country, 100,000 musket teams plus other troops to form an army of 200,000!
There are countless dead and wounded, and this debt must always be repaid.
He couldn't afford such a bloody battle.
But up to now, the 100,000 people who have been put together have lost nearly 30,000, and the remaining 70,000 are still defending the three northern cities as a defensive line......
"That'...... 10,000 bars, as a reserve, prepare in Beijing. ”
"Black Tiger, you send someone to send a message to Tang Xu first, and I will personally go to the military department to organize the artillery unit."
Ye Lie nodded.
Fortunately, the artillery was too heavy for these people to steal, and this was one of his last sharp weapons.
At the same time, in the camp of the Huns.
Chen Weiguang and Zhao Xueliang are toasting with the evil king.
"You two, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be able to get to this point!"
The Evil King smiled as he spoke, and then he looked at the person who was wiping his gun in the corner, "And you, Sun Xiang." ”
"I just hate the Southern Dynasty and the Jia Dynasty, as long as you start fighting, I will definitely be there."
Sun Xiang spoke slowly, his expression cold, "Don't think about it. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and continued to wipe his gun.
This year in the Western Regions, no, is a year in the whole West.
Armed with weapons and money, he formed an undefeated mercenary army that swept across the entire Western continent.
Almost as long as there is a campaign where they exist, there will be no defeat.
Of course, his requirements are also strange, hardly too much money, but all kinds of strange materials are needed, and craftsmen are needed to build things for him.
The conditions are strange, so the people who employ them are basically big countries.
Especially on the Northwest Ice Sheet, the now dominant Duchy of Moxico.
Sun Xiang is almost their royal mercenary!
With such support, Sun Xiang had a corps of 1,500 men.
Everyone has been through a hundred battles, even bloody battles.
Well trained, there are even rifles and submachine guns.
Both horseback riding and foot combat are quite good.
Of course, he relied on the knowledge given to him by the Southern Dynasty Military Academy.
If Ye Yu continued to fight with Ye Lie and finally overthrew Ye Lie, he would definitely follow Ye Yu to the death.
This time the Xiongnu went south, in fact, it was not only the Xiongnu, the Chen family and the Zhao family, the three groups.
There is also the shadow of the Principality of Moxico behind it.
Sun Xiang appeared as a messenger and helper.
To put it bluntly, the Principality of Moxico wants to go east and get a piece of the pie.
"Okay, since Sun Xiang wants to be alone, let's not disturb him."
The Evil King smiled and said, "Early tomorrow morning, our army should be able to break through these three cities and finally go straight to the Jingshi." ”
"Morning."
Sun Xiang poured cold water, "Between Jingshi and the Three Cities, there is also Linjing Pass, I recommend you to set off tonight." ”
"Linjing Pass? What old antique stuff? ”
Zhao Weiguang said and smiled, "If it was a few hundred years ago, I would still be able to care about it." ”
"If they withdraw the army tonight, you won't have a chance to defend Linjing Pass."
"Evil King, did your ancestor have any of these sayings?"
Sun Xiang reminded coldly.
