Chapter 506 Wang Shiyang's determination
Chai Guozhu has been in battle for a long time and is well versed in military affairs. Before making defense arrangements, he must first order troops, and then arrange further defenses according to the numbers of the troops. This is a normal thing.

He counted the number of soldiers at Zijingguan, and found that the number of soldiers at Zijingguan was about 1% of the book records. There were 8000 soldiers in name, but in fact there were 2000 soldiers. Soldiers, I have to say that the situation at Zijingguan is already conscience.

As one of the famous inner three passes, it is useless until the outer pass is safe. Chai Guozhu thought that the actual strength of the Zijing Pass would be pitifully small, but he did not expect there to be so many capable soldiers, which is really rare .

But then his face darkened.

There is a problem with the Jingying soldiers.

When I arrived yesterday afternoon, it was full of 1 people, and there was not a few missing. He just counted roughly and did nothing else. Now, even a blind person can see that there are a lot of missing. The school field that was still full yesterday became sparse today!
Do they think my surname Chai is blind? !

The soldiers of the Beijing camp are so rampant!How dare you be so blatantly a deserter!It's so presumptuous to the extreme!
He immediately asked the deputy general of the Beijing camp, Mr. Qian and other officers to come and see him, and asked them what was going on. In the end, he only found one Mr. Qian, and the rest of Mr. Qian was gone, and the deputy general of the Beijing camp was gone. up.

"What the hell is going on here?! Where are people?!"

He angrily questioned Mr. Qian.

Mr. Qian looked embarrassed.

"The deputy general said that his mother was critically ill and wanted to go back to watch over her. Mr. Li Qian said that his son was critically ill and had no intention of fighting. Mr. Zhao Qian said that his wife was critically ill and had no intention of fighting. Mr. Chen Qian said that his grandmother was critically ill and had no intention of fighting. And Mr. Liu Qian said... ..."

"Enough! Did they hit Tai Sui this year?! During this war, one after another was critically ill. When there was no war, there was nothing to do one by one. Don't talk about such things. The army is going to war, and the war is coming soon. How dare you leave the army without authorization? , They think they have lived too long, and they want white-haired people to give black-haired people, right?!"

Chai Guozhu was so angry that he never thought that the officers of the Beijing camp would be so shameless.

"General, this..."

The only surname Wang Qian who stayed behind looked around, and said cautiously: "The reason why those people are driven away is because they have backers behind them, there are Zhenyuan Hou's family, Xining Hou's family, Wu'an Hou's family, and others. There are Dingyuanhou's family, and even Dingguogong and Chengguogong's.

General, the water in the capital camp is extremely deep, any little one may be a servant of a certain family, and if they encounter it, they will cause trouble to the upper body. Those of us who have no backing can only be bullied by them honestly, and fool around Food, status and relationship, all ran away, and those who stayed were bitter haha.

At first, everyone thought it was not our turn to fight, so they came here to make up for it and shouted a few times, which was worthy of this military uniform, but the Pingxingguan was gone, and the Mongols were coming to fight. Who would fight among those old soldiers?The horse can't even get up, if you don't run quickly, it will be too late to run! "

Chai Guozhu stared at Mr. Wang Qian dumbfounded. Seeing that his face was full of bitterness, it didn't look like he was lying, and he suddenly felt dizzy.

I have long heard that the Beijing camp is rotten, but I didn't expect it to be so blatant. This is also the emperor's feet. Do all the soldiers under the emperor's feet look like this?If the Bauhinia Pass is really lost, how can Beijing be guarded?Isn't that fatal?

Rather...

He, Chai Guozhu, has nothing to do with these people. He knows some inside stories, he knows some gossip about the nobles and ministers colluding with each other to empty out the Beijing camp, and he also knows that each family has its own umbrella. He's not stupid either, they're all thousand-year-old foxes, only he, Chai Guozhu, is a big fool.

There are 6000 usable soldiers at Zijingguan, plus these [-] Beijing camp soldiers who fled, there are [-] troops on the surface, and there are only [-] troops left before the war or even seeing the Mongols. Well, there are still people in the world who can fight like this?
This is really ridiculous.

Those nobles have no way to deal with civilian officials. They are already pigs raised by civil officials. They have no power or military power. Yes, they can pay for themselves with the help of civil servants, and they have no ability to fight back.

Don't they think about it, if the Bauhinia Pass is really finished and the country is really attacked, will they have a good end?

Chai Guozhu didn't believe it, he didn't believe that these people were really shameless to this extent.

But it's true, this group of civil servants and military generals who rank among the top three most shameless in China's history, even at the last moment of their lives, they couldn't believe that they would face death.

Even when Li Zicheng's iron hoop was on their heads and was about to crush their dog's heads, and when Manqing's butcher's knife was raised and was about to see their necks, they might feel that they were dreaming.

They have long been left with only themselves in their hearts. They who have been in high positions for a long time and do not know the sufferings of the people have long been left with only themselves. They have held power for a long time and have no competitors. His shamelessness can only be compared by the civilian and military generals in the late Song Dynasty.

So Chai Guozhu is doomed not to get the answer he wants, no matter how much he doesn't believe in all this, he still has to bite the bullet and prepare for the battle to defend the Bauhinia Pass.

He allocated the main force among the Zijingguan City, Xiaopanshi City, Qifengkou City, and Guanzuoling City on the south bank of the Juma River. Xiaojin City on the north bank only reserved a little reserve force, and he would support wherever he was in an emergency. Sufficient troops have been deployed at each pass, and enough firearms, especially artillery, have been deployed.

Just when Chai Guozhu was resolutely defending the Bauhinia Pass, Wang Shiyang also received extremely astonishing news, which caused him to collapse to the ground in Taiyuan City, stunned.

Pingxingguan fell, Dong Yikui died in battle, and a Mongolian cavalry roared south and rushed straight to Taiyuan. Five thousand troops supporting Pingxingguan encountered the Mongolian cavalry near Mount Wutai. The individual escaped and came back to report.

Now the Mongols are heading towards Wutai, Wutai Town is already in chaos, the defenders fled without a fight, and come to Taiyuan with a large number of Wutai population, and the Mongols are close at hand, Wutai's fall is impossible reverse.

The only good thing is that, according to the informant, when the Mongols attacked Pingxingguan, there were tens of thousands of people, but only a maximum of [-] people went south, which means that most of them went to Zijingguan, trying to copy the capital. road.

Regardless of other things, at least the goal of this group of Mongols is Taiyuan, and the number is only [-].

Wang Shiyang gritted his teeth, thought over and over again, and decided to speed up the deployment of troops and generals, gave up the idea of ​​rushing to help Pingxingguan, and set up three lines of defense in Dingxiang, Xinzhou and Shilingguan to block the attack.

Then in the worst case, that is, when all three lines of defense were lost, Taiyuan was used as a bait to concentrate the reinforcements from Taiyuan Town and Yulin, and formed an array near Taiyuan to eat up the [-] Mongolian cavalry!
