Three secret spies from the Supervisory Yuan infiltrated into the German army. After receiving Chen Ziyu's order, they immediately launched a reconnaissance on the Eagle Camp cavalry in the west of the German camp. However, they discovered that the Eagle Camp's vigilance suddenly became
It's a lot tighter. Not to mention outsiders, even soldiers from the German army are not allowed to approach the Eagle Camp.
The spy leader smelled something unusual from Cheng Dejun's abnormal reaction, and personally led his people to evade Cheng Dejun's patrols at night and sneaked into the Yingying camp. The intelligence they reviewed confirmed that Liu Ling
As expected by others, Eagle Camp is indeed deserted!
Although the Oversight Council has a unique channel that can deliver the news to Jinzhou as quickly as possible, while their news is halfway through, the 50,000 cavalrymen of the Chengde Army's Eagle Battalion have successfully crossed the Daqing River and headed all the way.
Killed in Kaifeng. The Daqing River, also known as the Qi River. The Yellow River takes this road to the east and flows into the sea. The surging river was originally a barrier for the Ding'an Army, but it was unexpected that the Chengde Army bypassed Huazhou and crossed the river at Weizhou Ferry hundreds of miles away.
.
After Yingying General Zhu Sanqi led the army across the river, he no longer deliberately concealed his whereabouts. The army waved the flag of the German army and marched to Kaifeng with great fanfare. At this time, Kaifeng was nothing more than an empty city! The six imperial guards in the capital were all Luo
Xu's people, Luo Xu led the Six Guards Forbidden Army to evacuate all the way north after being defeated by Pei Zhan. In Weizhou, they fell into Zhao Tieguai's plan again, and the strength of the Six Guards Forbidden Army was once again greatly damaged. Luo Xu lost consecutive battles, and he had no choice but to lead
He took the remnant soldiers under his command and settled in Julu Ze.
This Juluze is actually very famous. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, several famous thieves lived here. For example, the popular Zhang Jinscale, Dou Jiande, and the one who later followed Li Shimin and was sealed
Cheng Mingzhen was the founding governor of the country. Later, during the Song Dynasty, Juluze became even more famous. Because at that time, Juluze was already known as Shuibo Liangshan.
Without the six guards and horses of the Forbidden Army to guard them, and with the tens of thousands of old and weak soldiers left by Pei Zhan in Kaifeng Mansion, even if Kaifeng City is extremely strong, it is still unknown whether it can withstand an army of 50,000 people. Moreover, with the combat strength of the defenders in Kaifeng City
, I'm afraid it would be difficult to fight to the end. Chai Zongrang, one of the two little emperors, has many villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Maybe he will take the little emperor and escape from Kaifeng as soon as he gets scared.
In fact, the purpose of Zhao Tieguai's order of 50,000 Yingying cavalry to go south was not to really attack Kaifeng. The Yingying camp was all cavalry and they had no engineering equipment. They couldn't ride up to the city wall, right? He did this just to disrupt Pei Zhan's plan.
Deploy and let Pei Zhan get into chaos. As long as there is a loophole in Pei Zhan's defense along the Daqing River, 450,000 German troops will come over like hungry wolves overwhelmingly. What he wants is for Pei Zhan to divide his troops and return to defend Kaifeng.
!
And he firmly believed that as long as Emperor Xian Yuan Chai Zongjang was in Kaifeng, Pei Zhan would have to divide his troops to rescue him! The little emperor played a huge role for Pei Zhan, just as Zhao Tieguai calculated that Luo Xu would rather waste his troops and turn against Luo Xu's tiger warrior cavalry.
They control the bloodline of the royal family, which is of immeasurable effect to them. With the little emperor here, they can legitimately serve as regents and become the rulers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They will abolish the little emperor when the time is right in the future.
And if you can gain self-reliance, fame and the throne, why not do it?
Zhao Tieguai had accurately calculated Pei Zhan's mentality, so he took the risk of sending out all the cavalry. In fact, he also carried a very high risk in doing so. Once the general of Yingying Zhu Sanqi made a mistake in his command, or Pei Zhan was defeated
If the pot is broken and everything is fought to the death, all these 50,000 cavalry will become Zhao Tieguai's sacrifices on his way to heaven. But Zhao Tieguai doesn't care, as long as he can defeat Pei Zhan, seize Kaifeng, gain legitimacy, and lose 50,000 cavalry
So what?
Zhao Tieguai's ambition is as big as Pei Zhan's, and his goal is to be the one who can command the world. The two of them are stumbling blocks on each other's way to heaven, and there is no possibility of peace talks at all. As long as there is a chance, both sides will
Bare your fangs and tear the opponent into pieces!
Although Pei Zhan can be regarded as a famous general in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he still lacks some experience compared to Zhao Tieguai. He was born in the Pei family, the first family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and became the military commander of the Ding'an Army at the age of less than thirty-four.
Position, this is the most powerful position among the three in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are only three Jiedu envoys in the Great Zhou Dynasty, one guarding the southwest to fight against the Shu Kingdom, one guarding the southeast to frighten the Southern Tang Dynasty, and one guarding the northwest to fight against the Khitan. At the age of thirty-four, he
This honor can be regarded as the first person since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. These three Jiedu envoys were appointed before Chai Rong became seriously ill.
Originally, the person with the highest position in the Zhou military was Luo Xu, the Protector of the Huben Empire. He was the second rank, the highest official position of a military general. However, after Chai Rong became seriously ill, he was worried that his son was still young and the Zhou kingdoms would take the opportunity to invade. So in the Zhou Dynasty,
There were three military governors in the southwest, southeast, and northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They were the Yongxing Army in the southwest, and the military commander was Xie Jun. The Ding'an Army in the southeast, the military commander was Pei Zhan, and the military commander in the northwest was Cheng De.
, the predecessor was the Qianning Army that was defeated by the Khitan Wolf Cavalry, and the Jiedushi was the former commander of the Qianning Army, Zhao Tieguai.
These three Jiedu envoys all hold official positions of the second rank, but in terms of actual power, they are much more powerful than Luo Xu, the great military governor. The three of them are all great princes who dominate one area, and they have at least 100,000 soldiers and horses standing under their command.
A huge amount of 150,000.
Pei Zhan reached the highest peak of military generals at the age of thirty-four. He was a second-grade general, was given the title Duke Wu, and was a highly respected minister. However, he had never experienced any real war. The Great Zhou Dynasty used troops to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.
When he was in the state territory, he was still unknown, and he reached this high position only because of Chai Rong's trust in the Pei family. If Han Geng, the general of Zuowuwei, had not died in the battle, he would not have been able to occupy this position.
Zhao Tieguai is different. Like Luo Xu, he came from a poor family and relied on his own hard work to reach this position step by step. Although, in his life history, whether he was with the Han army led by Liu Ling or with the
Khitan wolf cavalry rarely win in battles, but this person's greatest ability is to be defeated without defeat, and his strength has not been really damaged. Zhao Tieguai is already forty-five years old, and his hair was born early. He can't wait even more than Pei Zhan!
What he possesses is practical combat experience that Pei Zhan cannot match. In constant battles with the Khitans over the years, Zhao Tieguai's military capabilities have gradually matured and improved, and his ability to grasp the battle situation is beyond Pei Zhan's reach.
But now, he only needs to defeat Pei Zhan to reach the highest position a person can achieve. He will not let go no matter what. Therefore, after seeing through Pei Zhan's delaying strategy, he immediately thought of dividing his troops to attack Kaifeng.
Strategy. It can be said that this is an invincible move.
It was exactly as he expected. After hearing that the Yingying cavalry had crossed the Daqing River and headed towards Kaifeng, Pei Zhan was really panicked!
In order to save Kaifeng, Pei Zhan dispatched 100,000 troops from the Huazhou Camp to cross the Daqing River and hurriedly rescue Kaifeng. In order to ensure that Kaifeng was not lost, Pei Zhan even ordered the Huazhou Camp to shrink its defenses, leaving only 30,000 troops.
The troops defended Huazhou, and he led the second batch of 70,000 troops to leave Huazhou and return to Kaifeng.
The 100,000 Ding'an Army was divided into two groups. One group, with 40,000 horses, went diagonally toward the southwest to pursue the Chengde Army's Yingying Cavalry. The other group, with 60,000 horses, rushed back to Kaifeng at night. The 70,000-strong army led by Pei Zhan himself also fought day and night.
Continuously send support to Kaifeng.
Zhao Tieguai's plan succeeded. After the scouts received news that the Ding'an army had returned in large numbers, he immediately launched an army to attack Huazhou. At the same time, he divided one hundred thousand troops and attacked the Fenglin Ferry of the Daqing River, which is thirty miles east of Huazhou. The one hundred thousand troops
The role of the men and horses is to restrain the Ding'an Army at Fenglin Ferry from rushing to aid Huazhou. They also look for fighter opportunities to annihilate the Ding'an Army at Fenglin Ferry.
Thirty-five armies took turns attacking Huazhou, and broke through the city in just three days. Zhao Tieguai left 50,000 men to guard Huazhou as a retreat, while he himself led an army of more than 300,000 all the way south and attacked Kaifeng.
Strive to fight Pei Zhan decisively under Kaifeng City!
However, it exceeded Liu Ling's expectation and also exceeded Zhao Tieguai's expectation.
Although Pei Zhan was born into a noble family and grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, he was not really incompetent at all. He was able to achieve the high position of Jiedushi at the age of thirty-four. The first thing he had to do was
The only thing is to stand out from the Pei family! If you can become a leader in a family that has existed for hundreds of years, how can you be considered an incompetent person?
The Ding'an Army, which seemed to be rushing back to defend Kaifeng, actually dug a hole halfway, waiting for Zhao Tieguai, who had already seen the dawn of victory, to jump!
The first batch of 100,000 troops that Pei Zhan sent back to defend Kaifeng was indeed to defend Kaifeng. The 70,000 troops he personally led had other plans. Pei Zhan was a very conceited man, and his strategy of slowing down the troops was blocked by Zhao.
Tie Guai saw through it, and this was a big blow to his self-esteem. At the same time, it also made him hold his breath and wanted to get this face back. Soon, he smelled the opportunity to retaliate in kind.
He calculated that once he divided his troops and returned to Kaifeng to support Kaifeng, Zhao Tieguai would definitely attack Huazhou impatiently. And he dug Zhao Tieguai's grave on the bank of the Daqing River!
After Zhao Tieguai captured Huazhou, he couldn't wait to clear out the remaining Ding'an Army soldiers in Huazhou City, so he mobilized an army of more than 300,000 people and left Huazhou City and went straight to Huazhou Ferry. He ordered all available troops in Huazhou to be
All the boats were collected, and three to four thousand large and small boats were collected, and they began to cross the river quickly. However, these plundered fishing boats were too small, and transporting troops across the river was as slow as a snail.
The anxious Zhao Tieguai ordered the construction of a pontoon bridge, completely ignoring that the turbulent river water would wash away thousands of soldiers. Just when the first batch of more than 20,000 German troops crossing the river had just landed, Pei Zhan, who should have gone south,
Leading an army of 70,000 people, they attacked from several directions like wolves and tigers!
Zhao Tieguai was among the first batch of troops to cross the river.
Along the Daqing River, there is a bloody hell, with brutal killings and corpses strewn everywhere. (To be continued)
