Chapter 195 Out of Tongguan 1

Outside Tongguan, a large number of soldiers came one after another at this time. Basically, all the soldiers of the Xiong Division Brigade gathered here. At the same time, there are more than 600 people in Ying Yangwei, but unlike the Xiong Division, the soldiers of Ying Yangwei are not wearing black military uniforms, but colored camouflage uniforms. Moreover, his equipment is much better than that of ordinary soldiers. In particular, Ying Yangwei is now equipped with telescopes at the captain level, and the telescope level of ordinary brigades is only equipped with battalion commanders.

Since Liu Xia established the glass factory, after a series of explorations, the first batch of lenses were finally produced, and then Liu Xia asked people to grind the lenses into convex lenses and make them into telescopes. Cheap glass has replaced expensive and rare pure crystal, and the output has certainly been greatly improved.

"Quick, fast!"

There were bursts of footsteps, and a team of soldiers ran neatly to Tongguan. The commander-in-chief of this battle is Liu Xia. Liu Xia is already on his way. Although there are few troops in Shaanxi, there are still many remnants. Liu Xia can only come to command the battle in person.

A yellow dragon flag with a black background fluttered in the wind, and the soldiers' morale was excited. They have just won a victory over the Qing army, and many people have won a lot of rewards for this, and some have even climbed from a small soldier to the level of captain. Therefore, these new soldiers all want to rely on military achievements to advance. They all want to become a general, and then they don't have to worry about food and clothing in the future, and they don't have to worry about having a wife.

"Brother, how have you been recently? Your Ying Yangwei has expanded half of the recruitment this time, and your strength has greatly increased!" Jiang Xin looked at Yu Mingjun, who was wearing a camouflage suit at this time, with a slight envy. These people under Yu Mingjun were the elites. If he could have such a strong soldier, Jiang Xin would definitely win every battle.

Yu Mingjun smiled and said, "Lao Jiang, you also know the particularity of our Ying Yangwei, and the tasks performed are not what ordinary people can do, so this manpower must be a special talent. By the way, where's Brother Liu?" Brother Liu mentioned by Yu Mingjun is naturally Liu Dazhuang, the commander of the Xiong Division Brigade, and only Liu Dazhuang and others can be become brothers by Yu Mingjun.

Jiang Xin smiled and said, "The commander is arranging the officers who graduated from the armament school at this time. This time, 200 officers came from the armament school. Three of these officers were awarded the rank of lieutenant, 50 were awarded the rank of brave lieutenant, and the remaining more than 100 were awarded the rank of lieutenant. With the addition of these officers from the Armament School, I believe that their combat effectiveness will be improved a lot.

Yu Mingjun said, "Yes, these officers are also veteran veterans. They still have some experience in fighting. They have studied and then entered the army as grass-roots officers. I believe they can drive the combat effectiveness of those new recruits."

"Let's go, brother, let's not stand outside and walk into the house. It's almost April, and it's still so cold!" Jiang Xin sneezed and said to Yu Mingjun.

On April, the trees, flowers and plants have been lush for a long time, and the peonies have bloomed, but Tongguan now I don't know why, but the wind is very strong.

On March 21, Liu Xia arrived at Tongguan under the protection of the Guards and the Guards Brigade. Tongguan has been closed since Liu Xia occupied it, preventing people from Shaanxi from entering the Central Plains. At the same time, people from other places cannot enter Shaanxi. Since then, Shaanxi has been closed by Liu Xia for several months. Therefore, at this time, some soldiers in Shaanxi did not know that a large number of troops began to gather in Tongguan.

"General, our Xiong Division Brigade sent troops to Shaanxi this time, but the soldiers and horses of the cities we defended before have been transferred. How should those cities be defended?" Liu Dazhuang then told Liu Xia, who was new to here, what he thought.

If Liu Dazhuang didn't say this, Liu Xia really didn't consider these. After all, Liu Xia divided the jurisdiction of each brigade during the military deployment, but at that time, Liu Xia only considered the defensive city and did not consider the attack. If it is defensive, a brigade can be scattered to those cities to defend, but if Liu Xia sends troops to attack other places, it is necessary to transfer a large number of troops, so once the army is pulled away, there will be no soldiers defending the city.

Thinking of this, Liu Xia felt the need to establish two sets of troop deployments, one is the main force for special combat, and the other is the garrison for the defense of the city. The main force fights, and the garrison manages the city and defends. Thinking of this, Liu Xia immediately said, "Well, this is what the general is not thinking about. The first order was given to Wang Shitou and asked Wang Shitou to temporarily send some troops to temporarily defend the city of your division brigade. After the battle is over, we will conduct further research on this issue.

"Yes!" Liu Dazhuang said respectfully.

Liu Xia paused and said, "In this Shaanxi recovery battle, Jiang Xin took the lead in leading a regiment of cavalry of the Xiong Division Brigade out of Tongguan first, entered Xi'an Prefecture, and carried out a tentative attack on the enemy. According to the information we have, only Xi'an Prefecture has a large number of enemies in Shaanxi at present. As for other places, it can basically be ignored. The enemy in Xi'an is about 20,000, but the combat effectiveness is not too strong.

After listening to this, Jiang Xin immediately got up solemnly and said, "I will definitely take down Xi'an Mansion!"

Liu Xia nodded slightly and said, "Yu Mingjun, you also lead Ying Yangwei to Xi'an Mansion to assist the Xiong Division Brigade. If the enemy guards the city, you can attack the city at night!"

Ying Yangwei has done this kind of thing many times, so he doesn't feel a lot of pressure when he meets Mingjun.

On the morning of March 22, a cavalry of more than 2,000 people rushed out of Tongguan and marched towards Xi'an. Before long, another 6,000 or 700 cavalrymen in special costumes also left Tongguan and entered Xi'an.

Shaanxi Cheng announced that the political envoy department can be divided into Xi'an Prefecture, Yan'an Prefecture, Fengxiang Prefecture, Gongchang Prefecture, Pingliang Prefecture, Qingyang Prefecture, Ningxia Gewei, Hanzhong Prefecture, etc. Xi'an Prefecture was positioned as Xijing by Li Zicheng a few years ago, with a large population, but because the Qing army went south and broke through Xi'an Prefecture, Li Zicheng also fled to the south, so Xi'an Prefecture was a little abandoned. Previously, when Wang Wenkui served as the political envoy of Shaanxi to attack Liu Xia, he transferred 20,000 troops from Shaanxi, which greatly reduced Shaanxi's troops.

At this time, most of Shaanxi's troops were in Xi'an, and the total strength was only 20,000, which was put together by the generals. At this time, the governor in charge of the Xi'an government was Li Wentao. He was also originally Li Zicheng's subordinate, but he was just a young general before. Now most of the famous and high-ranking generals are killed and captured when attacking Liu Xia. Now he is a monkey hegemony.

Hearing that Liu Xia came to attack Xi'an Mansion, Li Wentao couldn't sit still. Although now he is still nominally under the orders of the Qing Dynasty, in fact, he is now an emperor of the earth. After Wang Wenkui's death, he gained power and occupied all Wang Wenkui's concubines the next day. It can be said that he lived a free life.

"We must not let Liu Xia break through Xi'an!"

"Come on!"

Li Wentao hugged Wang Wenkui's sixteenth concubine in his hand and shouted angrily outside the house.

When the words fell, a big man walked into the outside. The big man bowed to Wang Wenkui and said, "What's the matter with the governor?"

"Li Sanniu, I will give you 5,000 people to destroy the Ming army that entered Xi'an!"

Li Sanniu looked at Li Wentao's drunken appearance and frowned slightly, but his eyes still showed loyalty. Li Sanniu was Li Wenzhong who accidentally saved a big man. Li Sanniu forgot his name and forgot the previous events, so Li Wentao named him Li Sanniu. With force and wisdom, Li Wentao is less than half of Li Sanniu, and if it hadn't been for Li Sanniu's help, Li Wentao would not have been able to reach the position of governor. After all, there are still many people who are unconvinced, but Li Sanniu defeated all those who are unconvinced.

After hearing this, Li Sanniu immediately took the order with his fist, and then hurriedly walked down. After leaving the house, Li Sanniu couldn't help sighing. Li Wentao disappointed him too much.
