Chapter 887: The Battle of Baitanxi (4)

"Hasn't there been any news yet?" I don't know how many times Shi Shi has asked.

After receiving the letter eagle from the 70th Division, the corps headquarters immediately replied and asked about the specific situation of the 70th Division's sneak attack. According to the fact that the letter eagle flew back and forth for more than an hour, there should be a reply at this time.

"Nope. ”

Shi Shi frowned, stood up and sat down again, and said, "A division is in the permanent camp, where there are at least two or more idle letter eagles, so it seems that the situation is not good. Oops!" suddenly slapped his thigh.

He immediately flipped out a map with his own hands, spread it out, and moved his fingers along the base camp to the east ferry, and suddenly stopped at a certain point.

"No! I'm careless, I should wait for Chai Xulin's response before sending reinforcements. If Luo Yong opens the camp gate, the 70th Division may not be able to support it for long, then they may set up an ambush on Oak Beach!"

A staff officer glanced at it, took a breath of cool air, and said: "Sizzle! The 63rd Division has a large number of cavalry, and if the end of the oak forest beach is blocked, they can only go down to the river except to turn back. ”

"You!" Shi Shi pointed to the staff officer, "hurry up and give the 68th, no! Give the 69th Division an order, let them hurry to meet the 63rd Division, if they encounter an enemy ambush, they must not fall in love with the battle, and quickly withdraw their troops back." ”

After waiting for the staff officer to leave, Shi Shi said in a low voice: "I hope that the 61st Division can arrive as soon as possible, otherwise it may not even be able to hold this place." ”

Zeng Duan, the commander of the 65th Division, also crossed the Baitan River, and when he came to the tent of the Chinese army, he found that many troops were assembled in formation, and when he saw Chen Chao and Luo Yong, he asked: "Where are those troops outside going to go? Are you going to leave me to eat meat?"

"Binggui is fast, you are also an old soldier, don't you understand this truth?" Chen Chao handed Zeng Duan a cup of hot tea, "Let's go to set up an ambush first, and then you and Lao Niu's troops will go over to kill after assembling, we are thinking about the two of you." ”

"That's right, let you pick up the bargain. Fei Qing and Hou both chimed in.

"! My division has just begun to cross the river, and when Lao Niu's troops have also crossed the river, the sky will be bright, and we will go again to clean the battlefield for you and pick up a cheap yarn. Zeng Duan didn't mean to appreciate it.

Luo Yong said solemnly: "Just now Yingfang received an inquiry from the headquarters, the reinforcements sent by Shi Shi should be on the way, without further ado, we can't wait for you, we must rush to the ambush point as soon as possible to prepare." ”

"The chief of staff said that I am convinced, and those rebels cannot be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes. Leave it to me here, if you want to go, hurry up!" Zeng Duan was used to obeying Luo Yong's orders.

"Okay, let's go!" Chen Chao made eye contact with Luo Yong, stretched out his hand, and strode towards his team.

Boom, tens of thousands of torches inside and outside the camp were lit together, illuminating the surroundings like daylight, and the orders to set off came one after another, and several fire dragons began to extend to the north. The team doesn't have to worry about being spotted until they reach the ambush site.

The servant took Wang Deng to Jiang Xi's study, and although it was just dawn, Jiang Xi was already sitting in the study in full clothes.

"Good news, Chen Chao united the 62nd, 64th, 65th, 66th and 67th Divisions anyway, annihilated the 70th Division at Luo Yong's suggestion, and defeated the 63rd Division in an ambush at Oak Beach, but the 69th Division failed to be completely annihilated because of its timely response. Wang Deng was happier than he was with his own troops to win the battle.

"When did this happen?" Jiang Xi could still hold his breath.

"Yesterday morning. ”

So Chen Chao had arrived in the city controlled by the imperial court, and he also knew that he had become the commander of the war zone. ”

"Yes, their vanguard arrives in Little North County and reports to the Commander's Mansion through the magic teleportation array there. Originally, they planned to annihilate the 63rd and 69th Divisions, and then attack the base camp of Shishi, but unfortunately the 69th Division did not enter the ambush circle and rescued half of the 63rd Division. "Wang Deng understood the whole situation before coming to Jiang Mansion to report.

This battle within the Seventh Army was the first head-to-head battle between the orthodox court of the Shaodian Kingdom and the self-established Shaodian Yong group, which opened the prelude to the battle between the government army and the rebels, which is known in history as the Battle of Baitanxi.

"The coffin of the former king is buried today, this news can bring a little comfort to the soul of the former king, once the fire of war is ignited, the great war in various places will not be stopped, this news can also prompt the above to choose a new king as soon as possible. Jiang Xi's political sense of smell was keen, and he could see the hidden significance of the Battle of Baitanxi at a glance.

According to the custom, the funeral of the former king was arranged at noon, and the Eternal Church represented the light, and the brightest time of the day was noon, when the souls of the Eternal Church could see their bodies and bury them clearly.

Tang Taiyue and Nangong Ru were allowed to attend the funeral, while the queen Tang Qiong was put on death row, Tang Jun finally did not explain the origin of Ba Min and Xiang Lan, the title of Duke of Beizhen was stripped away, and the Tang family was all arrested and imprisoned.

The three little princes were also present at the funeral, although two were still in infancy, and the nurse was held in attendance under the watchful eye of the magician.

The best thing is that the Prince Regent Shaodian publicly asked Prince Yinsha and his eldest son to attend the funeral.

In terms of seniority, Shaodian Dan is Shao Dianyong's own uncle, it is reasonable for you to bring your son to the funeral, not to mention that now you are still standing yourself as the king, so how can there be any reason not to participate in the funeral of the first king.

But where did Shaodian Yong dare to come, this is to send sheep into the tiger's mouth, and others don't want to leave when they enter the capital.

At the end of the funeral, Shaodian naturally deprived Shaodian Yong of the right to inherit the throne, and officially announced that the eldest prince Shaodian would become the next king, and he would be able to take over the king's scepter on the day he became an adult.

"Kui'er, although you and the princess can't return to Zhenjing at will in the future, the place outside the city wall is not restricted, and you don't need to enter the city if you want to see some people. ”

Jiang Li had just finished reading the holy decree to Ding Kui and his wife, to the effect that Ding Kui had expected, and ordered them not to enter the capital without a letter, not to meet with the new king, and all correspondence had to be reviewed by the Taiwei.

"Uncle, do you think Kui'er has time to come back?" Ding Kui smiled bitterly.

"Hmm, you mean Meng Guo?" Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, but then reacted.

"Bangladesh is one of them, and I'm afraid the possibility of my own country is not small. Ding Kui's accent fell on the word "own country".

"Even if they have an idea, the main direction should be in Hailin Prefecture and Zhongwangzhou, how could they come to you?" Jiang Li didn't understand.

"No, no, no, Hailin Prefecture and Zhongwangzhou are of little significance to our country, and the land is still connected to our country's territory; Ding Kui said what he was most worried about.
