The Sacred Ding

The gallop from Qintongguan to the west was severely damaged, and in many places, after Wei Yuqi led the main force to pass, small groups of rebels came out of the mountains and destroyed it.

The mountain collapsed and the road collapsed, Chen Hai and the others left a large number of carriages and horses east of Qin Tongguan. There are only four or five hundred war chariots for tens of thousands of generals, and seventy-eighty rides on a light war chariot, surrounded by them. As I advance to the Qintong mountain range, the speed is naturally not fast.

In comparison, Wei Yu Futures led the main force of 50,000 generals and pawns in the Xiyuan Army, but the advancing speed was not slower than that of Chen Hai, and there were frequent good news to Qintong Pass, almost everyday all could overcome One or two walled cities entrenched by rebels can kill hundreds of rebels.

After half a month, Chen Hai led his department to Nanzhangfu in the middle of Qintong mountain range.

Nanzhang Mansion is located in the hinterland of the Qintong mountain range. There are many mountains in the territory. The only place where the mansion city is located is a narrow valley basin. It is about 40 miles long from east to west and more than 20 miles wide from north to south. It is relatively flat, and many rivers converge from deep mountains to form a lake about the size of a basin in the south of Fucheng.

Nanzhang Mansion has been destroyed, and the ten-several li long city wall is full of broken gaps. It has been destroyed in a disastrous manner. The villages outside the city and the houses in the city have been burned to ashes. There are ruins everywhere, and there are countless refugees stranded outside the city waiting to be fed.

Chen Hai and their supplies are limited, so naturally they have no time to care about these refugees. Even more how many rebels are hidden among these refugees, but they just drive them away. No Make it possible to harass the army.

The geographical location of Nanzhangfu City is very important. In addition to the gallops that cross the Qintong mountain range, there are also many valleys that can penetrate into the hinterland of the Qintong mountain range. There are almost more than 200,000 refugees from the rebels. After Qin Tongguan fled to Nanzhang Mansion, he fled from these valleys to the depths of the Qintong mountain range.

Wei Yuqi commanded the Xiyuan Army’s 50,000 soldiers and horses, and could only pursue the main rebel forces with the largest number of men. However, in order to prevent rebels from other directions from plagiarizing Nanzhang Mansion, the Xiyuan Army was specially placed Thousands of soldiers and horses in Sandu stayed in Nanzhang Mansion to ensure a safe future.

Good news from the front is frequent, and the soldiers and horses behind the palace are the most anxious; the third capital has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses used as flanking soldiers and horses, even under Qin Tongguan city, they are still in their hands. Not many heads of rebels were harvested, so much combat exploits were not recorded.

At this time, I saw Chen Hai leading his troops over. The generals such as Captain Qi and Captain Qi in the third capital, handed over the disabled city as the impatient, and ordered all soldiers and horses to go north. Zhu and Wei Yuqi joined together.

The military order sent by the main general Wei Yuqi also requires Chen Hai to lead his department to cover the side, and to fulfill the responsibility of the rear guard.

The Third Capital Army went south and joined the main force to chase the remnants. The camp built in the remnant city of Nan Zhang Mansion was vacated, and Chen Hai directly led his troops in.

“What should we do next?”

Thousands of thousands of troops entered the camp and repelled detection, security, and defense. After a while, Tu Ziji had to take Zhao Rong leisurely. I rushed to meet Chen Hai before the big account. The impatient wanted to know what follow-up thoughts Chen Hai had in his mind.

Chen Hai handed over the tedious military affairs to others. Standing on the hanging map, he was studying the terrain near Nanzhang Mansion attentively. When Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong walked into the big tent, he knocked on his hands. The map on the wall said: “This map is too crude and simple, Ziji, you first arrange for manual reconnaissance of the terrain within a radius of 200 li, and first draw the map within the Nanzhang Mansion.”

This map issued by Taiwei’s Mansion is very simple, hung on the wall of the back of the big tent. The map only marks the locations of the main rivers, gorges, prefectures and important market towns in the depths of the Qintong mountain range. It is difficult to see the full terrain near Nanzhang Mansion from this map; the villages where 2,000-3,000 people live are not marked at all.

Chen Hai knew in his heart that in this world where powerhouse is respected, Xuanzong Gaoxiu’s contempt for ordinary people is everywhere. The Taiwei Mansion’s mapping of Qintong mountain range close to Gyeonggi region is so crude and careless, but it is just one of the manifestations.

Whether it is the Beijing camp or the local garrison, the main generals are the children of the clan, and there are many spiritual birds that can be used to protect them. The terrain and landforms are 200 li square, and only need to take the Yuling Bird flying on ten thousand zhang high can take in the entire scene, and Taiwei Mansion and Fu County do not need to spend too much time on map drawing.

Tu Ziji had to be patient first, and Ann repelled the waiting post to expand the scope of reconnaissance and recorded all the terrain in Nanzhang Mansion.

Chen Hai summoned Zhou Jun, Ran Hu, Wu Meng, Cen Yunfei, Sun Buhui, and the others to ask about the situation of the camp. After some trivial military affairs have been dealt with, Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong The three of Fan Cheng stayed and talked about his real plan.

Tu Ziji, Zhao Rong, and Fan Chengdu eagerly look forward to Chen Hai’s final decision. Whether it is Mr. Wen or Fan Chun, they must obey Chen Hai’s orders; Chen Hai can also see from their eyes They concluded that they believed that they should station soldiers and horses in Nanzhangfu and on the banks of Nanzhang Lake.

Nanzhang Mansion is located at the main point of Qintong, and it is very close to Qintong Pass. Wei Yuqi is about to be defeated by the red eyebrow sect. They stationed in Nanzhang Mansion can receive the fleeing generals. It will soon usher in soldiers and horses from Qin Tongguan reinforcements.

Chen Hai returned to the map hung on the wall at this time, using charcoal to outline the main advancement route led by Wei Yu and saying:

“Wei Yu The period led the department too deep. From Nanzhang Mansion to the north, 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses have penetrated into the Tongbei area, and from Tongbei to Nanzhang, there are four pockets of terrain that can be called the pass. , As long as any place is blocked by the rebels, the main force of the Xiyuan Army will be completely locked in the depths of Qintong Mountain, and finally eaten by the Scarlet Eyebrow Sect and the rebels. We are here to wait, How many disabled soldiers can wait until they break out to join us?”

“Go north?” Zhao Rong asked.

“Yes, we must advance northward to Zuojin Valley…” Chen Hai pointed to a node on the map and said without question.

“If the rebels set up an ambush in the Tongbei area, we go deep into Zuojin Valley, and there are three pockets of terrain north of Zuojin Valley, which can allow the rebels to lock us together in the depths of Qintong Mountain. At that time, don’t we all have to be trapped by the rebels?” Tu Ziji said.

“If we can gather 10,000-20,000 disabled soldiers in Zuojin Valley, and if the 20,000 people of Taohuawu can rush to Zuojin Valley to join us in time, can we keep our feet in Zuojin Valley?” Chen Hai asked.

“The strength of the rebels is still far stronger than ours…” Zhao Rong did not understand why Chen Hai could rebel against millions of refugees with 20,000 or 30,000 disabled soldiers and 20,000 or 30,000 people. The confidence to stand firm in the military.

You must know that among the millions of refugees, there are thousands of elite Christians led by Heavenly Master Gong Liang.

Compared with the slow-moving army, Heavenly Master Gong Liang led the more than a thousand elite believers of the Scarlet Eyebrow Sect. They maneuver faster in the deep mountains and old forests, and they are most likely to intercept silently. Their fallback trapped them in a desperate situation.

“If Gyeonggi and Qintong mountain range are regarded as one, Dayan’s military power is more than ten times stronger than the rebels. Why would the Crimson Eyebrow cult cultists dare to gather in the Qintong mountain range? They are not the refugees who are forced to despair.” Chen Hai asked with a smile.

Seeing Tu Ziji, Zhao Rong, and Fan Chengdu were speechless, Chen Hai was faintly sighed in his heart, knowing that Yanzhou powerhouse is respected was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Tu Ziji can be said to be quite open-minded. But sometimes unconsciously, they will pay more attention to the comparison of absolute strength, but don’t know that the strengths and weaknesses will change at any time, especially in the local offensive and defensive, the evolution of the strengths and weaknesses is more subtle.

The Chimei Sect instigated the rebellion of the refugees in Qintong, and it is not easy to assemble millions of rebels. It is also impossible to say that it is just for annihilating the remnants of the Xiyuan Army that is incapable of climate change. Spell it out-this will not be the purpose of Chimei Sect.

The Chimei Sect is willing to pay heavy casualties for more than a thousand elite followers led by Gong Liang in Qintongshan?

Chen Hai knows that entering Zuojin Valley will have an arduous bloody battle waiting for them, but as long as their will is strong enough for the Scarlet Eyebrow Sect to learn that they want to eat them, they will have to pay an unbearable price. There is no life.

Chen Hai added: “Only when we confront the rebels in Zuojin Valley, can the Xiyuan Army not be defeated, and your Royal Highness has more room for planning strategies in the court. .When the time comes, it is to replace Wei Yuqi with Fan Shuai or someone else to reinvigorate the Xiyuan Army in Qintong Mountain, and His Royal Highness can seize more initiative–this is also when we moved west to Qintong Mountain at this time. Purpose.”

Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong shook their heads and smiled bitterly. They left Qintongguan and entered Nanzhang Mansion. They thought they were bold enough. They didn’t think Chen Hai wanted to lead his team to go deep into Zuojingu; it is said that if they can It is a great achievement to break out of the remnants of the reunion of Wei Yuqi in Zuojin Valley. The ultimate goal of didn’t expect Chen Hai is to form a confrontation with a million rebels in Changlu Valley.

But no matter how dangerous the future may be, since they all entered the Qintong mountain range, they can only follow Chen Hai to the end.

Chen Hai and they repaired in Nanzhang Mansion for another four days. Although there are still good news ahead through Nanzhang Mansion to Qintong Pass, Wei Yuqi’s main force has slowed down significantly. The resistance to the rebels in the Tongbei Mountains is getting stronger.

The scouts of the Xiyuan Army also discovered that there were constant large numbers of bandits and bandits, from other places in Qintong Mountain, constantly gathering to Tongbei Mountain.

Qintong mountain range originally belonged to the old Qinshan county. After Fahrenheit was entrusted to the Qinshan county and hereditary Musashi army, after gradually becoming a powerful feudal clan, in order to prevent Fahrenheit from threatening Gyeonggi, the old county of Qinshan was demolished. Third, limit Fahrenheit’s sphere of influence to the southwest of Qintong’s mountain range, and prohibit Fahrenheit from interfering with Qintong’s mountain range.

However, Fahrenheit does not allow the forces of the eight clans in Beijing to take root in the Qintong mountain range. Over the years, although the mountain range of Qintong has established prefectures and counties, it lacks a strong enough clan to take root, and there are also Fahrenheit deliberately indulgent. The factors that have caused severe banditry in the deep mountains and old forests of Qin Tongshan.

Qin Tongshan is extremely infested with banditry. Officials don’t know how many bandit giants occupy the mountain and invade the county in the depths of Qin Tongguan. And these bandit giants were entangled with local governments and counties in their early years, and their strength was a bit stronger than that of the refugees. If the Chimei Sect were to operate in the past few years, the situation would be really not optimistic.
