0437 fishing in muddy water
Touching fish in troubled waters, taking chestnuts from the fire, raiding Nanguan, and besieging the city. Although Emperor An Dongye, who personally conquered "Ruizhou", was a little relieved, he did not dare to take it lightly. He immediately ordered Mengjin Khan Darhan and Loulan Wang Ge Dun, who came to help the battle, to lead 10,000 elite armor to take the lead and directly plunder the "Ruizhou" mansion before the civilian army.
Emperor Andongye led the Guards, the Spirit Snake Legion, the Wood Eagle Legion and the Firefox Legion to besiege the "Ruizhou" capital city.
The sixth princess An Yichen was ordered to transfer all the imperial Mobei main infantry legions and militia-based garrisons. In addition to setting up artillery to continue to besiege "Ruxi" and other city pass, and uniformly deploy the control of the "Dingxi Army" front line, including the "Galo River" water transportation, to ensure the follow-up materials. The supply is continuous, and heavy troops are used to build fortifications, and a wide range of crossbow mines are set up to guard in the south of the "Wolf Pass" to protect the back of the army to avoid the threat of hundreds of thousands of shaman enemy troops in "Yingzhou" Xu Yushi.
Galo Road is dangerous and narrow, and heavy guns and vehicles are difficult to pass. Most of the artillery carried by the infantry army are small squat guns, anti-aircraft guns, blasting barrels, stone throwers, crossbows, etc. However, if it is not dependent on the main infantry corps to be equipped with a large number of mules and horses, it will take more than half a month to pass Galo Road alone.
This time, the infantry army, equipped with a large number of mules and horses, marched much slower than the main cavalry army. The Golden Snake Cavalry Division of the 541st Division made a rush. On the third day after participating in the siege of the "Ruizhou" capital, the 545th Division's Tumel Infantry Division had already arrived at the same time.
This speed of marching has preliminarily verified the feasibility of the idea of the fourth brother An Zixuan's allocation of a large number of mules and horses and animal forces in the northern camp infantry legion of the empire. For the first time in actual combat, it showed the extraordinary mobility of the northern battalion infantry legion, which can cooperate with the battle closely after the cavalry legion, wing guards back and wing side; the same It also made that even if the wolf base camp could not deploy troops in time, Wuhuang Andongye could gather a sufficient number of cavalry to cope with the needs of the battle in a relatively short time. Of course, this completely relied on the strong animal husbandry and merchant strength of An Zixuan, the fourth brother of the northern camp in the desert.
Therefore, although Sisi's 20,000 elite horsemen and nearly 10,000 cavalry led by Wuhuang Andongye did not launch an attack, they rode a fast horse straight to the "Ruizhou" mansion. The infantry legion that followed immediately surrounded Ruixi and other cities and set up artillery. After a few strokes, the rumble of cannons made Ruixi City The commanders of the Holy See, bishops and others happily pulled the white flag out of the city and surrendered. The government official dynasty disappeared, and it was of little significance to stick to it.
Ruinan all fell into the hands of the empire. In addition to Ruidong Cai Jingzhong, who had reached a secret contract and a tacit understanding with the imperial cabinet, the three Yuan brothers in Ruixi, Li Gan, Shen Tugou and other civilian troops in Ruibei were attacked by the imperial wolves to varying degrees.
For the prefectural city of the "Ruizhou" governance, due to the secret plan of the empire before the war, it agreed to a strategy of besiege first and strive to take all the prefectural cities by means of Huairou. Therefore, all the people who arrived outside the city in advance just set up camps and set up villages to show off their military power. At the same time, they sent people everywhere to publicize the news of the death of the government official dynasty to shake the determination of the military and civilian resistance of the "Ruizhou" government.
In the view of Wuhuang Andongye and other cabinet ministers, it is too pity that the "Ruizhou" government was destroyed by the war. It is better to protect it as much as possible. Moreover, the "Heavenly Demon Sect" of "Huozhou" is staring at it in order to build the "Ruizhou" government into a stable The bridgehead, in order to deal with the threat of the "Heavenly Demon Sect" of "Huozhou" Prince Huodu, should of course try its best to strive for the comprehensive sincerity of "Ruizhou" so as to preserve the integrity of the government city.
The division gathered under the city of "Ruizhou" and arrived at the outskirts of Chengdu at the earliest. Among the army under the command of the imperial wolves, there were 73,000 people from the 5th Group of the Northern Camp, including the Mobeisha Golden Snake, Muying, Firefox and Tumel divisions; including the Miao Wu Alliance, Qingyuan Monk, Mengjin Tuqi, Loulan Jingjia, the four major divisions of Saixi 20,000 people led by the tribal chieftain; there were 5,000 guards of the First Army and the Lingnake Division of the Central Camp, plus some of the incorporated civilian army to form the siege troops of the empire. 100,000 troops crossed the state and met under the "Ruizhou" government.
In addition to 100,000 wolf riders outside the city, there is also a temporarily mixed imperial special operation team that arrived in the "Ruizhou" area. This mixed empire special operation team has more than 2,000 people. It is a part of the elite children who are good at ambush tactics from Sisi's "Helenburg" and a part of the 20th princess An Lin'er. The "Liangcheng" women's assassination team was mixed into an army. Since this summer, it has been lurking in "Ruizhou" in batches. The death of the "Ruizhou" government official dynasty is also the first masterpiece after this mixed imperial special operation team was ordered to gather.
With the arrival of the army under the "Ruizhou" mansion, there are nearly 100,000 tiger and wolf divisions surrounding the "Ruizhou" mansion, and there are still militia corps advancing one after another. Although the militia's combat effectiveness is not very strong, it can make the situation of the soldiers under pressure more and more and more tense.
At this time, there were only 60,000 defenders in the capital of Ruizhou. Obviously, it was not feasible to fight in the field, and it would be difficult to hold on blindly for a long time, not to mention that the dragons had no leader at this time?
In particular, the dynasty has mysteriously disappeared for many days, and a senior military officer such as the military commander and the unified leader of the "Ruizhou" government disappeared and went out; the civilian officials of "Ruizhou", including governors, county guards and county magistrates, also disappeared. The whereabouts became mysterious, and the civil officials collectively evaporated, unexpectedly It's not in Fucheng. It's really a strange news of Tianzi No. 1, and the hidden conspiracy in it is very intriguing.
At this time, the battle in Ruibei was still fierce. Li Gan, who was more strategic in the civilian army, had invaded Beiguan. The "dark" personnel of the empire lurking in the customs immediately sent the news to the imperial friendly army that had been hiding in the mountains outside the customs for many days through military pigeons.
The Imperial Guard Major General Rong Heihu knew that it was not too late and must act immediately and set out immediately.
The order was issued quickly, and the whole cottage boiled up for a moment. Because it had been on the pre-war alert, the combat readiness of the Guards was completed in a very short time.
The horses wrapped their hoofs, put on their mouths, everyone held the pieces, and the flags rested, rolled their armor, and went straight to the north gate.
The city wall is built with earth and outsources huge city bricks. Where mountains can be cut into obstacles, the mountain and stone walls are cut, up to ten feet high, which is indeed a majestic and strong gate.
At dawn, just as Li Gan and his party drove 200 miles into the gate at night and persuaded the commander of Beiguan to make up their minds to return as soon as possible, the 5,000 cavalry of the Imperial Wolf Guards had quietly approached the North Pass.
In the dark night before dawn, you can see the towering huge brick wall, which is like a forest.
Beiguan was built across the river, with a masonry structure and three holes in the door, about two feet high and four feet deep. At this time, only hundreds of civilian soldiers on the tower were shaking in the night.
The black tiger drew a knife, and the cold light flashed.
In the whistle, the black tiger rode forward, and the guard wolf rode like a sweeping torrent, galloping towards Beiguan without any cover-up.
Thousands of drums are thunderous, thousands of flags are burning and windy, and the hoofs are like storms. They are involved from the north gate and quickly spread to the north city, and the sound of killing is shocking.
Under the knife of the guard wolf, those who block the passers-by will be killed without mercy.
Beiguan Street is wide, but there are no shops. There are chariots and horses everywhere. They are pure barracks. Whether they wear war jackets or not, they are all soldiers. Whether it is the Holy See guarding soldiers or Li Gan's rebel civilian army, as long as they stop the wolves, they will be chopped on the ground.
In the Ruibei command post, Hou Daxiao, the commander, has lost his fighting spirit. Beiguan only relies on Jiancheng. When the opponent has entered the city, he has lost the meaning of resolute resistance. He is not even qualified to talk about the conditions. The soldiers don't care about it. They can be trained and adapted. His commander is estimated to be the top. Running to the civilian army or obeying the wolves, this is the choice he has to face. Anyway, he can't be an official of the Shaman's teaching hall and lose his city and land. This major crime alone is enough for him to move his head.
When Li Gan's special envoy was in the chaos in the city, he knew that they were a step late. Beiguan had no hope to get it. In the face of such enemies who killed the wolves who entered the door, even if you had done a lot of countermeasures in advance, it was useless to escape from the city quickly.
