Chapter 845: I have to
In Xianju County, adjacent to Shanzhou and Ganzhou, there was thick smoke rolling. Congliang stood on the city tower of the county town and watched the guards clearing out the remaining troops of the Northern Expedition Army in the county town. Strictly speaking, this was not considered the Northern Expedition Army, but only local towns.
When the young emperor arrived in Xingqing from Guizhou and was preparing to cross the river to Xingling, Congliang began to plan this major battle. He must first calm the country against foreign wars. Congliang believed that if he did not destroy the Park Demeng group in Guizhou first, the Dayue court would have no way to deal with Yun Zhao's southern battle. Others knew the strength of the Northern Army. Especially now, the Mongolian Army's iron cavalry was added. The infantry of the Northern Army and the Mongolian Army were matched with the Mongolian Army's iron cavalry, which was a perfect match. The Dayue army definitely lacked the strength to compete with it.
First, he defeated Park Demeng's group, and then gathered the power of the whole country to fight Yun Zhao to the final decisive battle. So far, the plan has been going well, just like what he had imagined. Shanzhou was unable to fight against it at all. After breaking Shanzhou, he fought with Su Can, Quan Changbin and others to completely pacify Jiangnan. Then Your Majesty can take this power, purify the court's principles, and control the universe alone. Only at this time can Your Majesty gather the power of the whole country without any sincere elbows, and fight with Yun Zhao to the death with all his heart.
Those families were short-sighted, and still arrogant today, thinking that Yun Zhao was a scabies and could be eliminated. Therefore, he still persisted in fighting for power with Your Majesty. However, he did not know that after Yun Zhao came, he would uproot them. Even the chief minister Cao Yi thought so, let alone others.
Thinking of this, Chengliang reached into his arms and held a secret letter from Shangjing. He had read the letter more than ten times. Every time he read it, his heart would have a little more anger.
"General!" Zhang Yuting, the left commander of the guard, rushed over quickly. "The remaining enemies of Xianju have been cleared out, and dozens of civil and military officials below the enemy Xianju County Magistrate have been captured."
"It's all cut!" Congliang decided the lives of dozens of people without blinking," Yuting, according to the previous arrangement, immediately continued to advance towards Shanzhou, and the troops involved in the attack on Xianju were repaired for one night and set off tomorrow."
"Yes, General!" Zhang Yuting answered his order loudly.
"I will follow them. You come tomorrow morning. I believe that when you arrive at Xiantao, I will have already taken it down there." Congliang smiled, "When the round is forward, the round is attacking, I want time, the faster the better."
"General, I'm still a little worried!" Zhang Yuting walked to Congliang's side.
"What are you worried about?" Congliang asked coldly as he supported his hands on the city wall, looking at the thick smoke rising from the city.
"We took away most of Lao Sun's horses on the right side. Now Lao Sun's right side is an empty shell. Just by the people and Peng Zhongjun's Xiangzhou Town Army, can we stop Yun Zhao's reinforcements?" Zhang Yuting asked.
"Chuanliang's mission is different from ours. What he needs to do is to try to block the opponent and delay the opponent's time. During this period, we have built so many fortresses, and with the special terrain in Xiangzhou, Chuanliang should be able to complete the task well. Even if they can't stop it in the end, they can retreat to Xiangzhou City." Congliang said lightly: "So, what we need to do now is to speed up our speed as much as possible and rush to Guizhou as soon as possible to launch an attack on Park Demeng. If we are fast, we will not let Chuanliang down on his hard support in Xiangzhou."
Zhang Yuting lowered his head and was speechless. After listening to Congliang's words, he already understood that the general had made up his mind and that Sun Chuanliang was very likely to become a victim of this major battle. Zhang Yuting believed that the military order Sun Chuanliang received must not be what the general told him.
Congliang looked at Zhang Yuting's expression and knew that Zhang Yuting had guessed something. He was silent for a moment, "Yuting, this is also impossible. We must make choices. Without great sacrifice, we cannot achieve a turning point. Dayue has reached the most dangerous moment. Internal and external troubles are a little worse! I have to do this!"
"Internal worries?" Zhang Yuting looked at Congliang in surprise, but Congliang stopped talking. Some things could not be known to Zhang Yuting.
In Guizhou City, the news of Yan Xiaoyi's defeat had been sent back by the official Fangsi. Park Demeng locked himself in the study for a long time before he walked out. At this time, Shi Gandang, Quan Yifeng, the Fifth Battalion, Xue Linfeng, the Eighth Battalion, and Zhaoyi, Liao Daping, Fang Xiang and others had all arrived at the conference hall. Everyone had a very serious face.
"Everyone knows the matter!" Park Demeng sat behind the big case, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The situation is extremely unfavorable to us. Shanzhou has almost no soldiers who can resist Congliang. It won't take long to stay hundreds of enemies, and they are all the most elite troops of the Southern Dynasties. Congliang, Su Can, and Quan Changbin are all generals of war. Their soldiers are not comparable to ordinary troops, at least not worse than us!"
Everyone took a long breath, knowing that Park Deung-meng's words were to prevent the enemy from becoming angry and destroying his own prestige. To be honest, except for a few troops in the Southern Group, the combat effectiveness of the combat is simply not comparable to that of the opponent.
Among the Southern Group, the Fifth Battalion of Quan Yifeng was the most powerful, and the Yizhou Battalion led by Park Demeng in sequence was the Yizhou Battalion led by Park Demeng, and the Flying Battalion of Xue Linfeng was adapted from the Yulin Army and the Ninth Battalion of Wang Xiangmen, headed by Zhaoping, who was basically broken. Although the Yulin Army escaped from Shangjing all the way, it was probably beyond the reach of their ability to fight against these opponents. As for Zhaoping's Ninth Battalion, it used to be a group of bandits and bandits. Although Park Demeng sent a lot of grassroots officers to them after the reorganization, but this place was not in the north, and Park Demeng did not dare to strengthen the Ninth Battalion at the expense of the combat effectiveness of other troops.
"General, since the situation has changed, I believe the prince will respond in time. The Northern Army of the Conquest should quickly cross the river to fight and come to rescue us. Therefore, we don't have to worry about anything. We just need to persist for a long enough time, and the Northern Army of the Conquest can follow the Liang." Quan Yifeng said loudly.
"Not bad!" Shi Gandang also stood up, "Although the situation was not good, our Northern Expedition Army has always been stronger when it meets the stronger. As long as we can defend Guizhou, we can firmly grasp Su Can, Congliang, Quan Changbin here. When our army attacks, we will be wiped out in one go, which will not take much effort!"
"The two generals are right!" Park Deok slapped the table and smiled: "That's right. We seem to be unfavorable, but in the disadvantage, it contains the opportunity for great victory. As long as we can defend Guizhou, our 100,000 troops, can it be a problem to defend Guizhou? We have sharp weapons, high morale, and strong external support. Let Guizhou become a cemetery for the Southern Dynasties army!"
The words made everyone excited and stood up with a loud bang, shouting in unison, "I am willing to follow the general, fight to the death, defend Guizhou, and defeat the opponent!"
"Okay, now I'll order!" Park Deung-meng shouted.
"From the day when General Quan, the Fifth Battalion, immediately gave up Shayang and Bao counties, entered Yanchi County, Shaanxi Province, and guarded this key area as the first line of defense for the entire army. General Quan, the Fifth Battalion is the most combat-capable force in our Southern Group, and has a glorious tradition. I hope you can lead the Fifth Battalion to create new glory."
"Abide by the order!" Quan Yifeng said sternly.
"General Shi! Feitian Camp is stationed at Hukou and is ready to welcome Su Can's attack. You have also fought with Su Can and have an in-depth understanding of the opponent's combat effectiveness. I don't need to say more about how to do it."
"I will understand!"
"General Xue, the Eighth Battalion entered Pingxiang."
"I will obey the order!"
"Zhaoping! The 9th Battalion entered Dazhi and served as the support of the Feitian Battalion."
"I will obey the order!"
"Yizhou Camp will be stationed in Guizhou City! Respond to the situation at any time! Everyone, prepare to fight! The next one should be our most difficult days. Before dawn, we are always the darkest. After passing this hurdle, we will prepare to win a wife and a son and enjoy wealth forever!" Park Dem-meng laughed.
Each of them clarified their tasks, and the next one was a series of negotiations such as logistics supplies. By the time the generals were about to say goodbye and return to the army, it was already late at night.
"Please stay with you, General!" Park Demeng suddenly shouted, "I am still a little worried about your entry into Yanchi, Shanzhou. I want to discuss some things with you."
Quan Yifeng was stunned and looked at Park Demeng, "What else does the general have to give?"
"Let's talk in the study. You are the front line of being good at complying with good deeds. We still need to be careful!"
Looking at Park Demeng's expression, Quan Yifeng's heart moved and nodded, "The general is right, he is about to ask for help from the general."
The two entered the study one by one, and the smile on Park Demeng's face had completely disappeared. Looking at Quan Yifeng, he slowly said: "General Quan, if you can't stop it, please retreat to Guizhou City as soon as possible and try to preserve more strength."
Jun Yifeng's face changed slightly, "General Park!" Just now, Park Dem-meng didn't say that.
With a loud bang, Park De pulled open the curtain on the wall. It was a huge map. Park Dem circled and marked with marks.
"General Quan, what can you see?"
Looking carefully at the mark made by Park Demeng, Jun Yifeng's face slowly changed. She turned her head to look at Park Demeng and said in a trembling voice: "Is this your guess?"
"If I were the prince, I would definitely make such a choice! I have to do so!"
“What can we do?”
"The only thing you can do is to fight against the opponent's attack and save Guizhou City. General Quan, do you understand what you should do in Yanchi?"
Chapter completed!
