Chinese General Summoning System

Chapter 495: The flames of war are burning again

Just when the Puppet Army launched an offensive against Gaochang’s Southern Dudu Mansion and Northern Dudu Mansion at the same time, the battlefield that had been silent for more than two months in the Canglong City area, thousands of miles away, became lively again.

During these two months, the Suzhou Xiang Army gathered in and south of Xuanmen Pass, not only had the losses of the previous 14 guards been replenished, and basically all of them had returned to their full ranks, but also Eight more guards came out, making the Suzhou Xiang Army's military strength in the Canglong City area reached 22 guards, more than 2.7 million people.

Originally there were only 25 guards in the Suzhou Xiang Army. Each guard had five brigades, and each brigade had five battalions. Each battalion had about 5,000 men, and one guard had more than 100,000 battles. Soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers.

At present, the organization of each guard of the Suzhou Xiang Army has hardly changed, but the entire Suzhou Xiang Army has expanded to forty guards in just over two months, and there are forty full guards.

The current territory of the Suzhou Xiang Army is not limited to the territory of Suzhou, and the neighboring cities of Qiongzhou and Lianzhou, which are currently occupied by the Suzhou Xiang Army.

According to the order of Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Suzhou Xiang Army, the Suzhou Xiang Army launched a large-scale conscription in the territory of Suzhou, Qiongzhou and Lianzhou, which made the size of the Suzhou Xiang Army in just over two months. It has expanded to forty guards, and the speed of the Suzhou Xiang Army's army expansion is not at all weakened. Zhang Mingqi is inevitable for entering the Canglong City. Of course, he hopes that the army under his command will be better.

After controlling Canglong City in this way, Zhang Mingqi had the strength to control the entire 24 states of Dajin.

The thirteen families on the court side have not been idle for more than two months. Now the court army has gathered about 1.7 million troops just north of Xuanmenguan, including 700,000 imperial troops. , 550,000 Jiading troops and 450,000 troops of the 22 Luping rebels.

Originally, before the Suzhou Xiang Army came to Canglong City, the 16 guards of the Imperial Forbidden Army only had 700,000 people left, and because of the battle with the Suzhou Xiang Army, the Forbidden Army lost another 80 to 90,000 people. Over the course of more than a month, the 16 guards of the Forbidden Army not only recovered their full ranks, but also overstaffed a lot. The soldiers needed for the expansion of the Forbidden army were all selected from the ranks of the families.

Today, the total strength of the sixteen guards of the Forbidden Army exceeds 1.1 million, and the number of each guard is about 70,000. To the north of Xuanmenguan, ten guards of the Forbidden Army have gathered.

Originally, according to the meaning of the military chief Dou Yan, all the family members of the various families were incorporated into the Forbidden Army. After all, most of the generals in the Forbidden Army were on the battlefield, much better than the generals of the Jiading team.

However, this proposal was opposed by all the families, even many from the Dou family. The Forbidden Army belonged to the imperial army anyway, and the family was indeed the private army of each family. In the end, the military chief Dou Yan struggled to speak. It was with great difficulty that part of the Jiading team was incorporated into the Forbidden Army.

In addition to the 1.7 million troops north of Xuanmen Pass, the imperial court also has 420,000 imperial troops and nearly half a million Jiading troops in the entire Canglong City area, as well as 1 million young men who were temporarily conscripted. These imperial troops, Jiading and Qingzhuang were mainly gathered in Canglong City. In addition, many imperial troops were stationed at the other seven passes of the Canglong Eight Passes.

On the night of December 24, 428, Dajin, in the handsome tent of Zhang Mingqi, the commander of Suzhou Xiang Army in Xuanmenguan City, Zhang Mingqi said loudly to several counsellors and many lieutenant generals: "Now we Suzhou Xiang Army In Xuanmen Pass and south of Xuanmen Pass, 22 guards have gathered, with a total force of over 2.7 million. The grain and grass transported from the southeast are enough for the 22 guards of our Suzhou Xiang Army. After eating for three months, now our Suzhou Xiang Army can be said to have enough soldiers and food, it is time to attack the imperial army!"

The counselor Tang Yan immediately said: "According to reliable information, the elite troops of the Broken Army have already left Canglong City, including the traitor Zhang Shaohua. The team is the main force. After more than two months, the sixteen guards of the imperial imperial army have been expanded, with a total force of more than 1.1 million. At present, there are seven guards of the imperial army north of Xuanmenguan. About 700,000 troops."

After a pause, counselor Tang Yan continued: "The 13th clan’s clan team in the Canglong City area is a little more than one million. In fact, it should be more. However, some of the 13 clan’s clan’s team has been incorporated into the Forbidden Army, otherwise. It is impossible for the Forbidden Army to expand so many people in such a short period of time!"

When Zhang Mingqi heard Zhang Shaohua's name, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but move slightly. Zhang Shaohua's peerless warrior, who joined the Puppet Army before the battle, was definitely a pain in Zhang Mingqi's heart forever.

Zhou Jiling, general of the Suzhou Xiang Army, said to Zhang Mingqi at this time: "Master, the family of the thirteenth family is basically not weak in combat effectiveness. In this way, although the Forbidden Army is the same as our Suzhou Xiang Army, it took more than two months. Many people have been expanded, but the combat effectiveness of the troops at all levels of the Forbidden Army has not weakened. Once an offensive is launched against the imperial army north of Xuanmen Pass, we must pay attention to this aspect.

The reason why the Suzhou Xiang Army was able to expand so much force in more than two months was because a large number of young men were recruited in Suzhou, Qiongzhou, and Lianzhou, and some newly formed guards, except for a small number of veterans and generals. Most of them were recruits. Even some of the guards that existed before, many veterans and generals were transferred away in order to expand the army. This was unavoidable and reduced the combat effectiveness of the guards of the Suzhou Xiang Army.

Zhang Mingqi nodded and said: "Our Suzhou Xiang Army has expanded too quickly during this period. The fighting power of each guard is indeed not as good as before, but only with the bravery fighting. Our Suzhou Xiang Army has a very good chance of winning in the Canglong City area. Only us If we can control Canglong City, then the entire Dajin will belong to our Suzhou Xiang Army!"

Liu Fengbao, the veritable first fierce general of the Suzhou Xiang Army, said to Zhang Mingqi: "Master, we have fought against the Forbidden Army and the Jiading team of the thirteenth family before. The combat power of the Forbidden Army and the Jiading team is just average. The elite troops of the Captive Army, our Suzhou Xiang Army may have already entered Canglong City!"

Ever since he learned that Zhang Shaohua and Liu Meng, two powerful men of great power, had left Canglong City with the elite troops of the smashing army, Liu Fengbao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to meet again on the battlefield. These two monsters, as for the other fierce officers of the court, Liu Fengbao really didn't fear any of them.

Zhang Mingqi then said to Liu Fengbao: "Fengbao, we must never underestimate the enemy on the battlefield. Tomorrow morning, we will go out of the revolving gate and launch an offensive against the imperial army. This battle is of great importance. You can only win without defeat!"

"Yes, lord!" Liu Fengbao shouted, eagerly.

On the morning of December 25th, soldiers from the Xuanmenguan city and Suzhou Xiangjun south of Xuanmenguan suddenly marched out of the northern city gate of Xuanmenguan, and the imperial army gathered to the north of Xuanmenguan found The Suzhou Xiang Army left the pass, and immediately under the leadership of the Hussar General He Guangzong and the Hussar General Li Hong, they greeted them without fear. A tragic battle was immediately staged north of the Xuanmen Pass.

Starting on the 25th, the Suzhou Xiang Army fought fiercely with the imperial army north of Xuanmen Pass for five consecutive days. At the cost of more than 600,000 casualties, the imperial army gathered outside Xuanmen Pass was forced to retreat. Canglong City.

On the afternoon of December 30th, in the chamber of the mansion of Canglong City Army Taiwei Dou Yan, Tai Wei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War, Tai Wei Yang Zhong of the Ministry of War, Tai Wei Wang Zhihuan of the Ministry of Rites, Tai Wei Zhao Boran of the Xing Department and Tai Wei of the Ministry of Industry Sun Mingtao, Hubu Taiwei Zheng Kai, Military Department Shangshu Han Renji, Official Department Shangshu Wu Ziyu, Hubu Shangshu Zhang Shunran, Criminal Department Shangshu Chen Sikai, and Hussar General Xiao Su all gathered here, but the faces of these 11 important court officials were very ugly and fundamentally There is no hint of joy for the upcoming Chinese New Year.

The Taiwei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War said hoarsely: "Our plan to block the rebels in Suzhou at Xuanmen Pass failed. From the 25th until yesterday, we lost almost seven percent to the north of Xuanmen Pass. The army of one hundred thousand, now the two generals He Guangzong and Li Hong, with the remaining one million troops, retreated to the outside of Canglong City."

The Grand Lieutenant Sun Mingtao of the Ministry of Industry frowned and said: "We still have hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops and hundreds of thousands of family members in Canglong City, and there are also one million young men who have been recruited. Why don't we send more to the two generals He Guangzong and Li Hong? Reinforcement? With the retreat of Generals He Guangzong and Li Hong, the Suzhou rebels are now coming to Canglong City!"

Hussar General Xiao Su then sighed and said: "The problem is not that the two generals He Guangzong and Li Hong have insufficient forces, but that we and the Suzhou rebels cannot afford to consume them at Xuanmenguan. According to the information we have obtained, the Suzhou rebels now The army has gathered more than 2.7 million troops at Xuanmen Pass. If we continue to fight like this at Xuanmen Pass, our court will lose all the troops in the Canglong City area, and it will not necessarily be able to wipe out the Suzhou rebels. I know that the rebels in the state can continuously receive reinforcements from Suzhou, Qiongzhou and Lianzhou in the southeast."

The Crown Lieutenant Zhao Boran immediately asked: "Then what should we do next? Shrink the army to Canglong City?"

The military chief Dou Yan coughed and said, "In today's situation, only two generals, He Guangzong and Li Hong, can bring troops into Canglong City and rely on the walls of Canglong City to resist the rebels in Suzhou."

The Crown Prince Zheng Kai sighed and said, "Although we have been trying our best to transport food to Canglong City, the current food in Canglong City is only enough for the army and the people to eat for five or six months. If the rebels in Suzhou are besieged for a long time, it will be troublesome It's big!"

Hussar General Xiao Su said: "The other seven passes of the Canglong Eight Passes are still in the hands of our imperial army. It is not easy for the Suzhou rebels to completely encircle Canglong City."

The Crown Prince Wang Zhihuan of the Ministry of Rites suddenly said: "By the way, Lu took advantage of the rebellion in Suzhou and initiated an invasion of the four dependent states of our Da Jin, Jiao, Xun, Gu, and Lai at the same time in August. In the middle of this month, Jiao, Xun, Gu, and Lai have all been taken by Lu. Today, the territory of Lu has already bordered our Dajin’s Zhejiang and Fuzhou!"

The military chief Dou Yan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The old man has known about Jiao, Xun, Gu, and Lai for a long time, and even these four dependent countries have asked us for help, but now we Dajin itself has the same troubles as it is, unable to take care of these four dependent countries at all. As for the country of Lu... let's wait for the difficulties before us to study it!"

After a pause, Prince Dou Yan of the Ministry of War continued: "There is another good news to tell you that the prisoners broke through the coalition forces of the four powers in the Western Regions a few days ago. The old man has sent a carrier pigeon to the conscript general Liu Ji for help. Believe that once the Sundering Army can send reinforcements to Canglong City, this crisis in Canglong City will no longer exist."

In the temporary camp of the imperial army outside Canglong City, Hussar General Li Hong walked into a drapery~www.wuxiahere.com~ He looked at Hussar General He Guangzong with a **** white cloth on his left arm, and said sadly. : "General He, the specific losses have been counted. It is almost the same as the previous estimate. The ten guards of our Forbidden Army have lost a total of nearly 250,000, and the families of various families have also lost about 250,000. The Twelve-Route Captive Army lost more than 200,000 men."

Hussar General He Guangzong smiled miserably and said: "This is only five days, and I didn't expect to lose so much. It seems that we can only rely on the benefits of the walls of Canglong City to resist the Suzhou rebels!"

Hussar General Li Hong sighed and said: "That's all we can do. We can't fight all the troops at the Xuanmen Gate! General He, how is your injury?"

He Guangzong shook his head and said, "I'm not in the way, it's just a skin injury. Is there news from Canglong City? When will we let the troops outside the city enter the city?"

Li Hong said: "It should be coming soon. Taiwei Dou and the others are already studying the entry of our outer team into the city, and the news will come out soon.

He Guangzong said with some emotion: "Now it is really troublesome. The rebels in Suzhou will not mention it. I heard that Jiao, Xun, Gu, and Lai have all been annexed by Lu! Lu is an evil tiger, Lu. After annexing Jiao, Xun, Gu, and Lai, our seven southeast states in Dajin will face the threat of Lu!"

Li Hong said bitterly: "Come through this hurdle before talking about other things!"

He Guangzong hesitated for a while and said suddenly: "I heard that the smashing army has defeated the coalition forces of the four great powers in the Western Regions. I don’t know if the conscript general Liu Ji can send troops to rescue Canglong City. Once the smashing army’s reinforcements can come. In Canglong City, there is nothing to worry about the rebels in Suzhou!"
