0429 Male soldiers out of customs
Gu Xiao's knife soldiers came out of the "Sky Wolf Pass" and ordered the troops to gather. All the troops gathered the whole team to prepare for the direction of "Galo City".
The bow and knife are at the waist, the army is magnificent, the hoofs are heard, the banners are fluttering, and 3,000 light horses rush along the post road.
According to the original idea of taking care of Xiaodao, after a slight rest of the Sirius Pass, he rode south and crossed the river from the "black water" into Dingxi.
However, after passing the "Sky Wolf Pass", before reaching the river valley, the scouts who came out of the outpost brought back extremely shocking military information: the "River Valley" county was broken by the civilian army!
- How is it possible?
At first hearing the news, Gu Xiaodao, the new commander-in-chief of the empire's "Zhongyuan suppression of bandits", was very surprised.
The valley county is only 600 miles away from Galo, and the cavalry's rapid march can reach three days. The break of the valley can only prove that the current situation of Galo may be very dangerous.
Gu Xiaodao, who led the military situation for the first time, had to give up the established strategy of waiting to join the four major legions of Sisi and go south to rescue his uncle Gu Xilou on his own.
Although the civil army does not belong to each other, most of the "Ruizhou" officials have no real talent. Although there are more than 200,000 township soldiers, there are not many elites. The "Ruizhou" civilian army rose up, and every time they attack the city and plunder the grain of gold and silver, they roar away, and the police and teaching soldiers can only look back and sigh.
Prince Rui's Wang Lei was greedy and sold his title, and there were many malpractices. The people's service was difficult, which made many rich families go bankrupt and become poor. In response to the incident, it can be imagined that their grievances were conceive. The soldiers of the soldiers of the garrison battalions were detained, resulting in groups of township soldiers and led their families to join the people's army. Civil unrest is like a wildfire that has swept the Central Plains in a very short period of six months, and even several large groups of people will gather their people to attack big cities such as Ruifu and Galo. In the face of tens of thousands of riotous and tens of thousands of rioters, the unprepared noble officials, such as Prince Rui Wang Lei of the royal family and Ma Si, the eunuch of the army, can only stay in the strong "Ruizhou" mansion in the city.
Many civilian generals in "Ruizhou" have concealed and do not report. As a result, there are more and more hungry people who roar and rebel. There are even soldiers who are armed with military mutiny and chaos. With the addition of these soldiers who know how to fight and drill, the combat effectiveness of various civilian forces is gradually improving, and the momentum of each civilian army is also becoming more and more. It was not until Wang Lei, the prince of Rui, who was sitting in Ruizhou, couldn't cover it, and he didn't know some truth until the Holy See, which was far away in Huadu.
The lower officials concealed the news, and the superiors were mediocre and incompetent. The civilian army that swept through the few strong city pools in the Central Plains was almost destroyed. There were only two armed forces that could compete with the civilian army. One was the "Qinglong" guard of the imperial minister Qinglong, which is now the twelve brothers of Yuan 11 and Yuan. Surrounded in the south area, it can't move; the other is the "Dingxi Army" of Gu Xilou, "Galo City", which has almost no power to fight back under the key attack of the civilian army.
Of course, if the chaos of the "Ruizhou" civilian army does not have some external forces that are afraid of chaos in the world, they will never almost turn the Central Plains upside down in just half a year.
At present, there are many forces that want to fish in troubled waters, such as the "dark part" under the guidance of a certain field. As early as the establishment of the "Saixi Military Government", Wuhuang Andongye has already deployed this move. Wen Si has played some roles in this mess, trying to muddy the water and make the muddy. The chaotic situation is even more chaotic.
As for the Holy See, after a period of lagging behind, I got more detailed information from the "Ruizhou" place. Dingxi General Gu Xilou relied on Wu Liuye, a veteran of the civil group, and his nephew Wu Shaozu, selected soldiers to break through many scattered civilian troops in Dingxi, and gradually reversed the situation. The soldiers were within the reach of the front and the weak combat effectiveness of the people. Many of the army were defeated, and many famous leaders of the civilian army were captured and killed.
The thirteenth Kouyuan of Ruidong made a statement of revenge, gathered several large stocks such as Ruixi Li Dang and Ruibei Shen butcher Dog, and fought with the "Dingxi Army" in the valley. Gu Xilou was alone and forced to retreat to Galo.
Gu Xiaodao actually knows nothing about the latest changes in the "Ruizhou" civilian army. Isn't it too bold to be defeated by the civilian army and retreating to the Sirius Pass? If he now leads the private soldiers of the Gu family in Xilou, Gu Xiaodao may choose to return to the wife's pass first, but now this group of complex wolf knights are not so fully obeying the command. Mr. Gu Er, who commanded the army for the first time, has not had enough time to make these proud soldiers worship and feared. At this time, if These men are like life and death on the battlefield, leaving the impression that his second son is not bold and timid, which will damage the authority he is establishing, so it will be difficult for these soldiers to take them in the future.
For Gu Xiaodao at present, it is inevitable to return to the Sirius Pass, and only moving forward is the right choice. Of course, he can not move towards "Galo", but turn south and move towards the "Ruizhou" boundary.
Not long after the "River Valley County" was broken down, and there may be a large area of civilian activities near "Galo". It is very dangerous for more than 3,000 people from Gu Xiaodao's department who have no backup for the time to go to "Galo" at this time.
Gu Xiaodao, who was waiting anxiously, finally waited for the reconnaissance scout horse to return. While reviewing the map and listening to the report of the investigators, the panorama of the civilian army in "Ruizhou" was completely presented in front of him--
The civilian army is attacking Ruidong, Ruinan, Fucheng and other places. The city was strong, and the civilian army was invincable, and it defeated Ruinan. Now many civilian troops are still gathering to attack Ruidong in the east of "Ruizhou".
When Ruixi and Ruibei left, there was already news that they had been conquered by the civilian army. There were only a few isolated cities left below the city. Many counties fled because officials abandoned the city, and some of which were conquered by the people's army one after another.
Gu Xiaodao went south to the Central Plains, and the way back to the east was blocked by the civilian army. The lives of the 3,000 people under the wolves were worried.
Judging from the espionage gathered at hand, Yuan Shisan's civilian army has greatly expanded after defeating the "Dingxi Army", and its current number is conservatively estimated to be 30 to 400,000.
In the first battle, Gu Xiaodao, who was alone, unexpectedly met the giant Kou Shen butcher dog in Ruibei!
In the chaos, Gu Xiaodao shouted an angry voice, and the knife was like an arrow, straight through a civilian cavalry who fiercely attacked from the left side of the saddle.
The rising horse was instantly penetrated by an iron gun. While the blood spring was overflowing, the blood-red iron gun carried an extremely fierce roar, flashed past the side of Shen Tugou's body, flew far away, and sprinkled a blood line on the ground.
