Chapter 1628: Longxi Cooked Sheep Village, West Route Army Camp
Chapter 1628: Longxi Shuyang Village, West Route Army Camp
Longxi, Shuyangzhai!
Continuous tents were lined up, and there was a sound of fighting in the military camp!
In the main tent of the Chinese Army, Tu Dankening, the leader of the Jin Kingdom's West Route Army, looked at the geological survey map in front of him attentively! He lost the land of three states at once, and he couldn't sit still anymore, so he moved his troops westward into the Longxi area, and then moved forward.
It is within the territory of Lintao Prefecture.
There were more than ten generals sitting in the big tent, but they did not dare to speak out easily. Everyone knew that the commander-in-chief's temper was not very good recently.
"Report!"
A long shout came, breaking the silence in the camp! Not long after, a messenger entered the tent and said, "Commander, there is a messenger from General Ugu Lunda."
"pass!"
The tent door opened, and a soldier came in. Tu Shankening looked at the soldier a few times, and he knew this man, who was the deputy commander-in-chief of Ugulunda's personal army.
"My subordinate Yangbo pays homage to the commander! The general arrived at Guxiao Pass three days ago, and no party troops have been found yet! The general has followed the command of the commander, guarding the pass, and no one is allowed to enter or exit!"
Tu Shankening breathed a sigh of relief at the words of the messenger. Guxiaoguan is located at the northernmost end of Fengxiang Road at the junction with Dangxiang. It is also the gateway to Fengxiang Road! Previously, the three states were easily captured by Dangxiang, and he did not dare to let Guxiaoguan pass again.
There is a loss.
Therefore, he sent his general Ugu Lunda and five thousand troops to garrison.
And there are strict orders, you have to guard the border, and you are not allowed to go into battle easily!
If the ancient Xiaoguan is lost, a gap will be opened again. The soldiers and horses under his command will definitely be stretched thin!
"Okay! Go back and tell Ugu Lunda that as long as you hold on to the pass, it will be a great achievement! If you rush into battle and put the pass in danger, I will question him."
"I obey my orders!"
After the messenger left, the sound of galloping horse hooves was heard again outside the big tent, and a moment later, a centurion entered the big tent.
"Commander, there is news from the scouting horse ahead!"
"speak!"
"As of yesterday, the capital of Lanzhou, Dingyuan, and Agan have all fallen! Now this army has arrived in the Valley!"
"In the territory of Hezhou, Ninghe was defeated at noon yesterday, and the party's troops and horses arrived at the Qiang Walled City! In the territory of Jishi Prefecture, the Huaiqiang City was defeated, and this army has already marched towards the territory of Hezhou..."
Hearing the centurion's news, Tu Dankening's face dropped like water! There were six or seven big cities and nearly twenty small towns in the three states, but they were wiped out by party soldiers and horses within half a month. These soldiers and horses guarding the city
Aren't the officials and the officials all just like a loser?
When the centurion finished telling his story, Tu Dankening waved his hand to ask him to leave!
Then, he said to the generals in the camp, "Tomorrow, Li Da will lead an army of five thousand to attack Lintao! Guard at Didao in the west of Lintao! I don't care how many soldiers and horses come from the party. Before the army arrives, as long as Lintao does not lose you.
It’s a great achievement! Otherwise, you won’t come back!”
"Don't worry, Commander!"
Li Da stood up suddenly, "The general will immediately go to reorganize the troops and horses. After resting for two hours, he will rush all night! We will definitely reach Didao before sunset tomorrow! As long as the general is still alive, there will be no loss in Lintao!"
Tu Dankening nodded slightly, "The commander of the follow-up soldiers and horses is already urging them. They will arrive in as early as two days, or as late as three to five days! Lintao City will be handed over to you! There are still four to five thousand defenders in Lintao.
, its chief general Deng Yan, if Deng Yan is available, let him garrison Lintao City. If he is not available, you can act according to your own circumstances.
I allow you to act cheaply!"
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"
This statement makes it clear that if Deng Yan wanted to cause trouble, he could just kill him and bring thousands of defenders directly under Li Da's command.
Although the Nafu soldiers were not as elite as the Western Route Army, they could still use thousands of soldiers and horses to defend the city.
"Pu San Wu Zhong, I will mobilize you two thousand soldiers and horses to arrive at Lintao Fort before sunset tomorrow! There is no need for you to force a battle, but this party of soldiers and horses in Lanzhou will never allow them to advance smoothly! You can do it!
"
A general stood up and said, "Commander, this is our specialty! If we let the general fight head-on, the general will not be their opponent with so few soldiers. However, with two thousand cavalry, the general will definitely be in trouble every step of the way. They will suffer everywhere."
Disaster! If we let them march to Lintao safely, there is no need for the commander to take action. I will chop off the head on my own and serve it as a night pot for the commander!"
"roll!"
Tu Dankening laughed and scolded, "What do I want with your bastard head! Go ahead, you are smart, you can make all decisions by yourself!"
Pu San Wu Zhong clasped his fists sternly, "Commander, take care, the general is gone!"
Two troops and horses were arranged, and Tu Dankening finally felt relieved! Although there were not many troops, they were all elites of the West Route Army, and the two generals were also his favorite generals! I thought about it, and completely stopped Dang Xiang.
It should be impossible to advance the army, but it would not be difficult to delay it for a few days.
"Where are the subsequent troops and horses now?"
Tu Dankening asked.
Turha stood up below and said, "Commander, we have arrived in the Longshan area!"
The elite West Route Army under Tu Dankening only had about 50,000 troops in total. Now they had to garrison two or three routes, which was really stretched! However, Dangxiang's rapid capture of three states forced him to gather his troops and come.
Invite to fight! Now he has less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in total. After sending out less than half, only a few thousand troops are left.
Only by waiting for the arrival of the next 20,000 to 30,000 elite troops and coordinating with the troops from various states can we have a decisive battle with the Party troops!
"Um!"
Tu Dankening nodded and said, "Send out the scouting horses again to urge them. Those who fail to do so within three days will be dealt with according to military law! In addition, the states along the route were ordered to prepare food, grass and camps in advance. If the march of the army is delayed, there is no need for His Majesty's orders. I will
Shuai then chopped off their heads first!"
"Commander, there is no need to worry! These local and state capitals must not delay the commander-in-chief's military affairs!"
After Turha responded, he hesitated and said, "Commander, now that all our troops and horses are gathered in Longxi, will there be any danger in the rear?"
Tu Dankening smiled and said, "You are referring to the Song Army, right?"
"That's right! The Song Dynasty stationed troops in Tianshui and Dasanguan area, obviously it was a wild ambition! If they were not prepared, how could they give up the opportunity to march northward?"
"Now is the time when our army is fighting with the party's troops. If they advance..."
Tu Dankening waved his hand, "Don't worry, the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty will not take action!"
When he saw Turha and wanted to say more, Tu Dankening smiled and said, "Then Shen Tang is a little fox, how can he easily join the army?
If he marches now, we will regard their troops as our biggest enemies, but if he doesn't march, we will fight to the death with the party!"
"When we and Dangxiang have not yet decided the winner, the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty will only sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but they will not waste a single soldier! And when the winner is decided, it is his opportunity to take action completely
!Because, no matter which side was victorious at that time, it must have already lost its troops and generals, while the Song Dynasty was at its peak of military power..."
