Chapter 18 The elite cavalry is besieged, and the national security asks for help
In the blink of an eye, it has been autumn, the weather is getting cooler, after a few months of training, the elite cavalry has been divided into formations, Qing Lanyou led 10,000 people for the elite cavalry battalion, needless to say, because it is an independent army, so the establishment is also independent, otherwise a battalion of 5,000 is already capped, and the elite cavalry has already exceeded the standard.
He Qianjun, the original captain of the first battalion, led the first battalion of 20,000 people as the pioneer battalion, the second captain Liu Qing, led the second battalion of 20,000 people as the infantry battalion, the three captains Fu Zheng'an, led the third battalion of 20,000 people as the ordinary cavalry battalion, which can be regarded as the reserve of the elite cavalry battalion, the fourth captain Wu Yin, led the fourth battalion of 20,000 people as the infantry battalion, and the fifth captain Lu Cheng, led 23,546 people as the middle battalion, responsible for material dispatch, guarding the camp and other tasks.
After the autumn harvest, which is the most likely moment of war, Jia Guoan arranged for the elite cavalry battalion and cavalry battalion to patrol the border line, first, to prevent scattered enemy troops from looting, second, if there is a large number of enemy invasions, it can also be detected early, and third, to train more recruits, after all, there are no bandits to train them.
On this day, Jia Guoan was discussing with the prince how to prevent the invasion of the enemy army, when suddenly the herald rushed in outside.
"General Bao, the elite cavalry battalion encountered the enemy army eighty miles north of the city, and was forced into Xinglan Town, one hundred and thirty miles north of the city, the cavalry battalion went to the rescue, but after rushing in, it encountered an ambush, and the enemy army abandoned 100,000 people, but a full 200,000 army, and the cavalry battalion is now besieged in Xinglan Town together with the elite cavalry battalion. Hearing this, Jia Guoan did not panic and ordered
"The flying pigeon passed the book to Xinglan Town, let them stick to it for one day, and tomorrow the arrow will be the trumpet, and the inside and outside should be together. After speaking, Jia Guoan and the prince left the camp tent and went to the Chinese army's tent.
Stepping into the big tent of the Chinese army, Jia Guoan found that the atmosphere here was also solemn, it turned out that the Northern Empire had begun to launch an attack on Tianbei City, and a full 1.3 million people were on the way to come, General Wang saw Jia Guoan and the prince coming, stepped forward to salute the prince, and said
"Wechen has seen the prince", turned to Jia Guoan
"Guoan, it's so good that you're here, I'm about to call someone to look for you. ”
"General, I came here for something, our army's elite cavalry battalion and cavalry battalion were besieged in Xinglan Town by 200,000 troops of the New Taipei Empire, and I wanted to come to you to borrow some people to save me. Jia Guoan replied.
"This... "General Wang heard that his head was full of black lines, how can I help you now,
"Guoan, you have seen the current situation, and I can't help you. Jia Guoan looked at General Wang
"General, I have a plan, the peaks on both sides of Tianbei City have been opened, just act according to the original plan, borrow my 100,000 cavalry, I sneak to Xinglan Town from the rear to save the elite cavalry battalion and cavalry battalion, and then make a detour to kill from the rear of the enemy, we are surrounded and suppressed on all sides, and the army of New Taipei will definitely suffer heavy damage. General Wang thought about it and felt that this was a good strategy, and the military advisor also stood up and said that it was feasible.
"Guoan, just do as you say, go to the Tianbei Cavalry Army and order 100,000 troops, and set off immediately. ”
"Guoan takes orders" Jia Guoan left the big tent of the Chinese army with the prince after speaking, and walked quickly to the Tianbei cavalry. After ordering the soldiers and horses, explaining it, and staying until the night, Jia Guoan and the prince led the 100,000 Tianbei cavalry army out of the city quietly, this time it was a rescue and attack, and it was not suitable to bring other branches of the army, so the remaining 80,000 people of the elite cavalry army were temporarily deployed by General Wang.
Jia Guoan and his entourage rushed to the outside of Xinglan Town when they were ugly, rested, and Jia Guoan instructed everyone
"Yin Shi is the most sleepy and relaxed time for people, and when the time comes, the arrows will sound and the whole army will attack. So the 100,000 cavalry waited quietly until the end of the day, and the herald picked up the arrows and released them.
Killing !! 100,000 cavalry instantly entered the camp of the New Taipei Army, and at the same time, the cavalry of Xinglan Town also came out, and the New Taipei Army was instantly panicked, didn't our army already go to Tianbei City?
How could there be so many people here, it was already very strange that there were 30,000 cavalry, but their general was greedy for merit, and returned to join the army without following the order, but confronted the elite cavalry battalion and the cavalry battalion in Xinglan Town.
The whole 130,000 cavalry, the charge was terrible, and after two charges, the New Northern Army was already broken and fled.
At the end of the battle, the prince and Jia Guoan came to the yamen of Xinglan Town, and the mayor and others excitedly thanked the Tianbei Army for saving them.
After persuading the irrelevant people out of the yamen, the statistical officer stepped forward to report
"Prince Qiyu, general, in this battle, our army killed 60,000 enemies, captured 80,000, and the enemy fled 60,000, and General Qing captured the enemy commander alive and detained him outside. Jia Guoan listened to the lecture and asked,
"What are the losses of our army?"
"Back to the general, our army's Tianbei cavalry lost 3,000 people, seriously wounded 5,000, and lightly injured 14,000. The cavalry battalion suffered three hundred serious wounds, seven hundred minor wounds, and no deaths, while the cavalry battalion suffered eight hundred deaths, two hundred serious wounds, and one thousand sixteen minor wounds. Our army has 120,000 combatants left. ”
"Bury and record the dead soldiers, go back and hand over the pension to their families, everyone rests in time, makes a fire and cooks, waits for the news of Tianbei City, and repels the New Northern Army in one fell swoop. Tell General Qing to bring the enemy commander up. Jia Guoan said to the recorder and the herald guard.
After a while, Qing Lan escorted the enemy commander to the main hall of the yamen, and Jia Guoan looked at the enemy commander and asked
"In previous years, you were all small groups of troops to plunder, why did you come with a large army this year?" the commander of the enemy army looked at Jia Guoan and did not say anything.
Jia Guoan looked at him and suddenly laughed: "You don't have to answer, but I will let people spread the information, saying that you are here with the army on purpose, and the 200,000 soldiers are your vote for joining the Burning Empire." You say, what will New Taipei do to your family when it hears the news and sees you alive?"
"You are despicable, shameless, and dirty, as a soldier, how can you do such a thing!" When the enemy commander heard this, he was not calm for a moment, this was to make him the last one.
"Then you will answer my question honestly!" the commander of the enemy army bowed his head and thought for a moment and replied. China's new emperor ascended the throne for three years, swept away all the sects in the country, and now there is no sect in the New Taipei Empire, only the empire's Tianwu City, the emperor gathered all the sects gathered there, cultivated martial arts talents for the empire, and set up a martial arts army, all composed of people who practice martial arts, this year the empire is to test the existence of people who practice martial arts in the armies of other countries, and when the time comes, it will pick countries with few people who practice martial arts and annex them one by one. ”
"Your new emperor's appetite is not small, I can let you go back, but you have to do something for me. ”
"Don't you think, I won't betray my motherland!" said the commander of the enemy army excitedly.
"Why don't you finish listening to what I say, and then you speak? I don't need you to do anything, I just ask that after you return to China, the emperor of your country asks why you are so defeated, you just need to say that the Flame Empire also has an army similar to the Martial God Army, and it will defeat you, what do you think?"
"But you just let me go, what if I don't do what you say?"
"You won't, you don't dare, do you? It's good for you and me, I need time to find out, you need to find a reason to fail. Jia Guoan said confidently.
"Yes, I promise!" said the enemy commander. The reason why Jia Guoan dared to do this was that he couldn't let the New Taipei Empire know about the situation of the Flame Empire, and when that kind of Martial God Army came over, the Flame Empire had no power to resist at all, and the second was that the commander of this enemy army was so happy, since he had such a good reason, he wouldn't use it.
"Come, loosen the general's bonds, take him to a good meal, and let him go. Jia Guoan ordered, and then followed the prince into the inner hall of the yamen, and while eating, he discussed how to cooperate with the Tianbei Army to fight the army of the New Northern Empire.
