Longguan guard general Hou Junji left 3,000 men to defend Longguan without Li Yuan's consent when he only had three days of food and grass left. Before the morale of the army collapsed, he led a 30,000-strong main force to decisively evacuate from Longguan.
And directly attack the main force of the special forces who are still stuck in the black wind outlet.
Although Hou Junji secretly evacuated Longguan at night, he was discovered immediately by spies from the Military Intelligence Agency and delivered as quickly as possible to Zhang Tiangang at Heifengkou and Shangguan Hu, Zhou Hu and Jiang Mulang outside Longguan.
Shangguan Hu, Zhou Hu, and Jiang Mulang immediately launched a fierce attack. They spent a day and a night and lost nearly ten thousand people. They killed most of the three thousand men and horses left by Hou Junji, and the remaining thousand people were gone.
Zhanxin fled directly from the other side. Shangguan Hu and others then stationed at Longguan and finally occupied Longguan.
Zhang Tiangang, with his 3,000 special forces, blocked the Black Wind Pass for more than a month, repelled more than a dozen waves of Li troops from the direction of Longguan and Chencang County, and killed and wounded nearly 30,000 enemy troops.
Although they had great military exploits, they themselves also suffered heavy losses, with only about a thousand people left out of three thousand.
It can be said that this is the heaviest loss since the establishment of the special operations force. In fact, the special operations group was not originally used in this way. This time, Zhang Tiangang used his men as infantry.
Therefore, Zhang Tiangang knew that when Hou Junji led the main force of Longguan to attack, even if he killed all the remaining thousand people here, he would not be able to defend the Black Wind Pass.
What's more, the purpose of blocking the Black Wind Pass was to cut off the food route for the Li family army at Longguan. The ultimate goal was to help Shangguan Hu and the others seize Longguan. Now that their goal was achieved, why did they have to stay with the more than 30,000 people led by Hou Junji?
People are beaten to death.
Therefore, before Hou Junji's army pounced on him, Zhang Tiangang took the initiative to evacuate with the remaining 1,000 or so special force soldiers.
After Hou Junji easily occupied Heifengkou, his face did not look good. He had hated the special forces led by Zhang Tiangang these days, and originally wanted to surround and kill them all to relieve his hatred.
For this reason, Hou Junji even sent two troops to cross the mountains and ridges from both sides and go around to the other side of the Black Wind Pass in order to outflank the special forces led by Zhang Tiangang.
It's a pity that the masters of the special forces led by Zhang Tiangang slipped away too quickly in the forest. The people sent by Hou Junji didn't even see a single figure, not to mention the encirclement and killing.
However, Hou Junji was worthy of being a famous general whose name has been passed down through the ages. He acted decisively and unexpectedly. He did not lead the army to withdraw to Chencang County, but stopped at the Black Wind Pass and did not leave.
Moreover, he not only controlled the road through simple checkpoints like Zhang Tiangang, but also sent people to mobilize a large number of craftsmen and laborers from the direction of Chencang County, and began to carry out large-scale construction at Heifengkou to build the Junzhai Pass.
Based on the topography of Heifengkou, if a pass is built, it will definitely become the second Long Pass over time.
Shangguan Hu, Zhou Hu and Jiang Mulang are not easy people. Naturally they saw through the powerful relationship between them. After the three discussed, they asked Jiang Mulang to lead 10,000 people to guard Longguan, and Shangguan Hu and Zhou Hu led 100,000 people.
Come and attack the Black Wind Pass.
The two sides fought for half a month, with the Far East Army losing nearly 10,000 people and Hou Junji losing nearly 10,000 people. Shangguan Hu and Zhou Hu just failed to capture Heifengkou.
Hou Junji was a decisive and ruthless master. In the past half month, he had driven tens of thousands of people to repair Heifeng Village, day and night, without any rest time. He had exhausted nearly thousands of people to death.
The Black Wind Village is almost completed.
Shangguan Hu and Zhou Hu saw that it would be difficult to capture Heifengkou in a short period of time, and that attacking the opponent in this terrain would be too disadvantageous, so they had to temporarily withdraw to Longguan.
At this point, the war between the Far East Army and the Li Family Army in the west also came to an end, and finally the confrontation came to an end with Long Pass and Heifeng Pass facing each other far away.

………
On the battlefield to the east, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing, Lu Han, and Guan Xiaotong discovered that the defense of Shisha Village and the other six military villages was getting more and more lax. Until one day, they suddenly captured Shisha Village and the six military villages.
It was discovered that the number of Li Jiajun in these seven military camps was far less than the number in the previous intelligence.
Li Shimin never appeared again.
"The other five military villages have less than 3,000 troops combined, while the Ten Kills Village only has 3,000 troops. A total of 6,000 troops. According to the previous intelligence from the Military Intelligence Bureau, after Li Shimin's last defeat, there were at least 70,000 troops. Less than 3,000 troops.
go here
There were at least more than 60,000 troops killed and injured while defending the city these days, which means that Li Shimin led more than 50,000 troops and abandoned seven military strongholds and left quietly."
In Shisha Village, in the White Tiger Festival Hall that Li Shimin once used to discuss matters, the generals of the Far East Army were discussing matters. At this time, the person speaking was the frowning Iron Hammer Camp Chief General Guan Xiaotong.
Yuchi Jingde frowned tightly and said: "It seems that because the prince's side captured Taiyuan City, Li Shimin knew that Hedong was no longer able to be defended, so he decisively led his troops to retreat to Guanzhong."
"I received news before that Chai Shao, who was confronting Wu San in Xinkou County, led 50,000 troops and retreated to Guanzhong." Lu Han nodded: "So, Li Yuan really gave up on Hedong. It seems that Li Yuan will follow
We need to shrink our troops and defend Guanzhong."
After Li Jing thought for a while, he shook his head and said: "Li Yuan was right to shrink his troops and stick to Guanzhong, but Li Shimin may not have retreated to Guanzhong."
Yuchi Jingde was thoughtful and said: "What Commander Li means is that Li Shimin led the army to Luoyang to defeat Wang Shichong and wants to plot Luoyang?"
Li Jing shook his head and said: "I'm afraid what Li Shimin wants is not Luoyang, but the land of Sichuan and Shu."
"The land of Sichuan and Sichuan?" Yuchi Jingde was surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt more and more that what Li Jing said was very reasonable. "I remember that the news reported by the Military Intelligence Bureau mentioned that Li Yuan and his son were in Sichuan and Sichuan.
After several years of operation, we are fully prepared. If our Far Eastern Army hadn't suddenly sent troops to attack Hedong, Li Yuan and his son would have sent troops to Sichuan and Shu. Therefore, the military adviser's guess is very likely."
At this moment, rapid footsteps sounded outside, and soon a soldier came in with a messenger from the Military Intelligence Agency, who brought a normal intelligence report from the Military Intelligence Agency.
Yuchi Jingde was the commander in chief here. After reading the intelligence, he handed it to Guan Xiaotong next to him. He glanced at Li Jing with admiration and said, "The military advisor has a brilliant plan. Li Shimin indeed led his troops to Sichuan."
"It's a pity that Wang Shichong's Luoyang and Guanzhong are between us and Sichuan. It seems quite troublesome to send troops to pursue us." Guan Xiaotong handed the information to Lu Han, with a look of reluctance and murderous intent. Recently, they attacked Shishazhai.
, the losses were considerable, totaling over 10,000 people, among which the Hammer Battalion in charge of children suffered the most losses.
Li Jing suddenly laughed and said: "We can't take people to Sichuan and Sichuan, but we can in the Baoxiong Camp and Wagang Camp in the Central Plains."
Yuchi Jingde also smiled and said: "Li Xuanba and Li Shimin are brothers after all. The prince probably will not send them there. Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin have led the Wagang camp for more than half a year and have been training according to the training method of our Far Eastern Army. At this time
It’s the right time to send troops to Sichuan and Shu!”
…………
…………
Central Plains, Luokou City.
In the evening, White Tiger Festival Hall in Wagangying.
Xu Shiji's generals at captain level and above gathered together to hold a combat meeting.
Different from the chaos of the Wagang Army during the Waganzhai period, now the Wagang Battalion must strictly follow the Far East Army's "Internal Affairs Regulations", "Training Regulations" and
Implementation of the "Combat Regulations".
Xu Shiji first read the order sent by Wang Junlin from Taiyuan, Hedong, and then asked the resident official of the Military Intelligence Office in Wagang Camp to report the latest intelligence.
"On January 6, the Wang and Pei families of Taiyuan cooperated with the nearly 50,000-strong Tornado Battalion led by the prince, and captured Taiyuan City, beheading more than 20,000 people. They captured nearly 40,000 people and captured Li Jiancheng, the prince of Tang Wang Li Yuan."
"On January 13, the northwest battalions of our Far East Army, led by generals Shangguan Hu, Zhou Hu, and Jiang Mulang, finally captured Longguan after more than two months. But the one who made the greatest contribution was the special force Zhang Tiangang.
The commander led 3,000 special forces masters. They cut off the food route of the Li family army in Longguan at Heifengkou, and repelled the Li family army with 3,000 troops. Up to 40,000 people attacked in turn, killing and wounding nearly 30,000 enemy troops. However,
He suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, which was the largest loss since the formation of the special force. Moreover, after Hou Junji led more than 30,000 troops to retreat from Longguan to Heifengkou, Heifeng Pass was built here, which was also difficult to defend.
attack."
"On January 14, the three generals Yuchi Jingde, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong on the East Road, as well as the military advisor Li Jing, after defeating Li Shimin half a month ago, finally captured six military villages including Shisha Village, but everyone
Everyone knows that this is Li Shimin's plan to escape from his shell, and Li Shimin has already led the main force to sneak into Sichuan."
"In addition, after Chai Shao led his troops to retreat from Xinkou County, there was no longer any land in the east of the river.
The Li family's army, which can stop our Far Eastern Army, will occupy all seven counties in Hedong within a month according to the prince's plan."
The official of the Military Intelligence Office had just said this, and before he could say what happened next, the famous hero of Wagang Camp, who was ranked twenty-sixth in Wagang Village before, and was known as "Flying on Grass", is now a member of Wagang Camp.
Huang Tianhu, the captain of Guoyi's camp, suddenly cursed: "General Xu, General Cheng, and the prince's other battalion leaders have made so many contributions these days. Only Guanzhong and Luoyang are left in the whole north. We can't wait any longer. Hurry up."
Follow the prince's instructions and go to conquer Sichuan and Shu. Only by defeating Sichuan and Shu can my brothers and I share the credit, so that we can be granted titles after the prince establishes the country and becomes emperor..."
"Shut up! You will not be allowed to speak dirty and noisy in the combat meeting. Come to me after the meeting to receive your punishment." A middle-aged general sitting in the first place on Xu Shiji's left hand, opposite Cheng Yaojin on the other side, suddenly
shouted, interrupting Huang Tianhu's yelling.
Huang Tianhu, who had always had a bad temper, immediately changed his face when he heard this. He muttered a few words and then dared not speak anymore. The others were also frightened and couldn't help but straighten their bodies. There were unnatural expressions on their faces when they looked at this person.
The man who drank to stop Huang Tianhu was a man who looked to be in his late forties, with a purple complexion and a sickly look, as if he rarely saw the sun.
This person's name is Chen Xiaowu. He is from Shedao. He is the director of the Central Plains branch of the Shedao training camp. He is also the deputy director of the Military Justice Department that Wang Junlin recently implemented in the Far East Army.
Chen Xiaoyu was trained by Nie Xiaoyu. All the generals who had trained on Snake Island knew this man. He was famous among the Far Eastern Army and was even known as the purple-faced devil.
Chen Xiaowu's name sounds very cute, but for the past six months, Cheng Yaojin and Xu Shiji were not in charge of the training at Wagang Camp, but Chen Xiaowu.
Over the past six months, nearly two hundred soldiers of Wagang Camp have been killed with sticks by Chen Xiaowu alone because of serious violations of discipline or disobedience to military orders during training. Other soldiers of Wagang Camp who have experienced horrific punishments such as confinement in small black rooms have been killed.
There are thousands of men from Wagang Village, no matter how rebellious or powerful they are, there is no one who is not afraid of the purple-faced demon Chen Xiaowu.
Some time ago, in accordance with the military reform that Wang Junlin gradually implemented in the Far East Army, the Military Justice Department was newly established, and Chen Xiaoxiao concurrently served as the deputy director of the Military Justice Department. At that time, it happened to coincide with the completion of Wagang Camp training, and the heroes of Wagang Village were closed down.
After training for more than half a year, each one of them was going crazy from the stress and did a lot of outrageous things.
As a result, in just over a month, nearly a hundred officers of all levels in Wagang Camp fell into the hands of Chen Xiaoxiao.
There were many who were demoted, punished, and punished with canes, including several captains. One captain even got drunk and raped a civilian girl, and was directly executed by the military judge with a cane.
At that time, Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin both came forward to plead for the captain, but Chen Xiaowu pushed them back. It can be said that they did not give them any face.
After experiencing these things, the Wagang Battalion completely lost its original bandit habits and truly became a professional army with strict discipline like other battalions of the Far Eastern Army.
This time he went to Sichuan to face Li Shimin. Wang Junlin attached great importance to everything that happened with Li Shimin. Previously, Yuchi Jingde, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Luo Yi and other four people in the east had a total of two hundred thousand people.
, and the fact that Li Jing was sent as a military advisor is proof of this.
Therefore, Wang Junlin directly sent an order with a flying eagle, asking Chen Xiaoxiao to prepare to enter Sichuan with Wagang Camp, and personally supervise the disciplinary violations in Wagang Camp and the accounting of the army's military exploits. There was a purple-faced devil following him, and this time Wagang Camp was on the way to Sichuan.
, there must be very few violations of military discipline.
After the incident between Huang Tianhu and Chen Xiaoxiao, the combat meeting continued to be held, and officials from the Military Intelligence Agency continued to report intelligence.
After the latest intelligence received was reported one by one, the generals of Wagang Battalion were all eager to fight. Seeing other battalion leaders making great achievements, they were jealous!
In addition, they think that after more than half a year of military training, they are now equipped from head to toe, inside and out, with weapons and equipment and various instruments of the Far Eastern Army. They have a kind of magical achievement. They want to find a place to kill all directions.
The urge to show off.
Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin had obviously known this information for a long time, and their expressions were always as calm as an ice lake.
But on the other hand, Xie Yingdeng knew very well that Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin also had a strong fighting spirit in their hearts, and they were eager to go to war in order to make great achievements.
