Chapter 1585 The sudden change of military situation in Zhongwangzhou (3)
In Jinxiang City, Wu'an County, Zhongwang Prefecture, the frontline of the confrontation between the imperial army and the rebels is less than a hundred miles away. Outside the city, the 17th Division of the Second Army Corps of China is stationed.
A young officer strode into the Chinese military tent.
"Sir! The scouts reported that traces of rebels were found in Yangtougou, and it is suspected that the Yangtougou military camp was attacked by the enemy."
Sitting firmly behind the military case is the lord of Wangshan City, Li Fei's uncle, Tian Dan.
"Oh? Yangtougou is located behind the defense line, how could there be rebels?" Tian Dan only joined the army after the third recruitment order was issued in the Zhongwangzhou War Zone, and he chose the local army at the bottom of the order, intending to avoid fighting with the rebels as much as possible.
Military battle.
The first line of defense against the rebels in Wu'an County was garrisoned by the 22nd Army Corps, the second line of defense was garrisoned by the Anguo Army, and the Yangtougou Military Camp was one of the points, and the third line of defense was the local army.
"Sir, do you want to invite Staff Officer Xu to come over?" The young officer saw that Tian Dan was the only one in the tent, so as usual he had to go to the staff officer for discussion.
"Wait a minute, Xiaoluo." Tian Dan stopped the young officer and motioned for him to sit down below.
This young officer and Ding Kui participated in the same knight competition county competition, and it was Tian Luo who lost to Xue Yuan in the first round.
"Do you think the enemy will really attack the Yangtougou military camp?" Tian Dan pulled out a roll of maps and spread them out on the table.
"Yes, what we found was an enemy scout. When we saw our scout, we didn't pursue him. They just didn't allow us to get close to Yangtougou. Once we got close, we fought to the death without any intention of hiding."
Half of the 17th Division came from Wangshan City, and Tian Luo was Tian Dan's authentic direct descendant, sharing part of the military affairs for Tian Dan.
"Then do you think Zheng Yun can defend Yangtougou?" Tian Dan frowned.
Stationed at the Yangtougou Military Camp is the 10th Division of the Anguo Army, and Ding Kui's senior sister Zheng Yun is the acting division commander.
The conflict between the Tian family and Ding Kui has been eased in recent years under Li Fei's mediation. However, Tian Dan has not forgotten the death of his younger brother and Tian Bin's serious injury. Moreover, his daughter was not welcomed by the aristocratic circle because she offended Ding Kui, so he got married indiscriminately.
A little nobleman lived a very miserable life.
On the surface, he did not dare to go against Ding Kui, but in his heart he very much hoped that Ding Kui would be unlucky.
"Sir... Patriarch, do you mean not to send troops to rescue Yangtou Gou?" Tian Luo naturally knows the affairs of the Tian family.
Yangtougou is guarded by the 10th An Division. If it is captured by the rebels, the biggest culprit will be Zheng Yun. Although Ding Kui cannot be blamed, the face of his fellow juniors will also be disgraced.
But then again, the third line of defense is the backup for the second line of defense. The 17th Zhongdi Division is stationed in Jinxiang City and has the responsibility to support Yangtougou.
Tian Dan knew clearly that the Yangtougou military camp was in danger but did not send troops to rescue him. He will definitely be held accountable by military law afterwards.
"Since the rebels can appear in Yangtougou, they may threaten Jinxiang City. Our department should consider the safety of Jinxiang City first." Tian Dan really didn't want to help Zheng Yun.
If other troops were in Yangtougou, he would have already ordered troops to be sent out for support.
The Tian family spent money and effort to pull a team to the battlefield. After all, they wanted to gain military exploits. If there was a chance, they could mention Tian Dan's first-class earl and make him a marquis.
The front line of the confrontation between the two armies spans the entire Zhongwangzhou. It is not uncommon for the rebels to occasionally break through the first line of defense, but it has never happened before that they penetrated deep into the third line of defense without warning from the front line.
There are large armies stationed around Jinxiang City. As long as it is attacked by rebels, reinforcements will come from all directions. Even if one or several roads are blocked, reinforcements from other directions will arrive.
Tian Dan's words were obviously meant to be prevaricating.
"I understand! I will take care of it immediately." Tian Luo's eyes flashed fiercely.
"Wait, what do you want to do?"
"Go down and arrest the person who knows this." Tian Luo held his hand across his neck and pulled it.
"Alas!" Tian Dan closed his eyes, "Let me think about it again."
"Now the only ones who know about it are our own people, and my subordinates are confident that they can hide it from the Military Justice Department."
After Ding Kui caused chaos in Wangshan City, Tian Luo gained the attention of Tian Dan and learned the authentic fighting qi skills of the Tian family. He stood out from the many disciples of the side line and became the powerful helper of the family head.
Now that Tian Dan was worried, he immediately decided to step forward and help the family head solve the problem.
"Do you think Ding Kui is a reasonable person?" Tian Dan reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"He is now a counter-rebellion general and will not be as willful as before." Tian Luo said not very confidently.
"What if Zheng Yun does something bad, will he let go of me who failed to rescue me?"
When it comes to Ding Kui, Tian Dan's psychological shadow is not as big as usual.
He was a man who dared to lay siege to the state city, capture the state pastor alive, and set up a small court. To kill an earl like him, it seemed not to be a serious matter.
"If we really get to that field, the head of the family can hand over his subordinates, and they will be willing to bear the crime of dereliction of duty!" Tian Luo was willing to risk his life to repay his kindness.
Tian Dan opened his eyes fiercely and said, "Ding Kui is very familiar with military matters, and you can't hide this trick from him! Forget it, you quickly lead five thousand troops and go to Yangtougou to support us."
"Master! Instead of succumbing to Ding Kui's power, it is better to go over there, turn around and defeat Ding Kui, and bring bad luck to our Tian family." Tian Luo couldn't bear to see the head of the family so aggrieved.
"Nonsense! The Tian family's foundation is in Pingzhong County and Wangshan City. How can you just defect to it?"
Tian Dan stood up and waved his arms vigorously, as if to wave away the irritability in his heart.
"Even if the rebels can quickly invade Pingzhong County and escort the Tian family to a safe place, they will not be able to escape the threat of Ding Kui."
"Once Ding Kui hates the Tian family, he can send experts to hunt down the Tian family. No matter where we hide, he will find a way to find us."
The more he spoke, the more determined his eyes became.
"Ding Kui no longer needs to be willful. He has enough people to deal with us. No matter whether the court can defeat the rebels, he will not take a little earl seriously. We are not even worthy of being his opponents."
"No! I want to lead the troops to Yangtougou in person. You can lead a large group to stay at the military camp and deliver the order immediately."
"yes!"
…
"Death!" Long Tan's right hand swung the spear sharply, entangled the spear coming from the opposite side, and raised his sword in his left hand to strike down with all his strength.
Poof, the oncoming enemy general couldn't draw back his spear, so he pulled out his sword and was split in half.
"The enemy general is dead! Our army is victorious!" Long Tan shouted and rushed towards the next enemy.
"The enemy general is dead! Our army is victorious!"
The cavalrymen behind saw this and started shouting too.
The enemy general killed by Long Tan was the commander of the rebel cavalry. Their shouting helped to break the enemy's confidence and severely damaged the enemy's morale.
The Longtan Brigade had already circled half a circle around the enemy's rear camp and arrived at the side closest to the enemy's command platform. However, the rebel cavalry troops had assembled and came over to block their way.
