Chapter 37 Division of Land shou

After listening to this, Wu Xiang was really gratified. This time, his heart can be put into his stomach. Daming can't count on it. Now he can only count on Dazhong. Under the commander-in-chief of Xiao Tianjian, the emperor of Dazhong, the Dazhong army has devoted all its energy to the Shanhaiguan area. It can be seen that they attach great importance to Jiannu, as long as If their large and medium-sized army can come, the strength of such a large Chinese army is really not afraid of these Jiannu army. He can also see that the strength of the Dazhong army is solid. One of them is one, and there are few auxiliary soldiers. Basically, they are elite soldiers who can wear armor and go to battle. Although the obvious strength is weaker than that of Jiannu, it is only in terms of the strength of the soldiers. If the whole army is promoted here, it will only be better than Jiannu, and he can see that the Dazhong army, as a new force, is more united than Jiannu's side. It can be said that he is one heart. As soon as the military order falls like a mountain, the Dazhong soldiers will all fight bravely, so the prospect of this battle is very bright for him.

Therefore, Wu Xiang thanked him repeatedly, saying that he was very relieved. Now that he is guarding Shanhaiguan, he is about to get rid of the Dazhong army. While talking, there was news that Yan Chongxi, the marshal of the Dazhong Left Army, and Lu Xiangsheng, the supervisor, have led the rest of the troops. After crossing the Shihe River, they can immediately reach Shanhaiguan.

So after Wu Xiang and Wang Chengping made a little arrangement for their subordinates, they immediately went out of the camp overnight to meet Yan Chongxi and Lu Xiangsheng, and soon caught Yan Chongxi and Lu Xiangsheng under the closing.

Wu Xiang has nothing to say about the speed of the marching of the Dazhong army. Yesterday, they were stationed in Funingwei. Today, in just one day, they drove more than a hundred miles. The whole army rushed to Shanhaiguan. It can be seen that the Dazhong army is called iron legs. It's really not bragging, and they came this time, not with light clothes, but including the army. All the heavy and heavy artillery vehicles in the middle rushed here with the army, with perfect and comprehensive combat effectiveness, but this is not what the ordinary army can do. Basically, the marching speed of infantry and heavy vehicles has caught up with the marching speed of the cavalry of the Ming army. Wu Xiang can't help but be impressed.

Yan Chongxi and Lu Xiangsheng also learned that Wu Xiang was out to welcome Wu Xiang in person, so they immediately greeted Wu Xiang politely. Naturally, the two sides had to greet each other, but at present, after all, it was a military emergency, and they didn't talk too much nonsense. They immediately talked about the current change of defense.

According to Feng Weihan's idea to Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang did not publicly announce his surrender to the Dazhong army, but abandoned the Guancheng around Shanhaiguan in the name of losing to the Dazhong army and was captured by the Dazhong army!

So after today's battle, Wu Xiang, while rewarding the soldiers and horses of the Dazhong army, sent a messenger and rushed to the capital to inform the Ming court that he was attacked by the Jiannu army and the criminal thief army in Shanhaiguan, which made him suffer from the enemy. Under the strong battle, he was defeated by the Xingtian thief army, and part of the Shanhaiguan customs. He was seized by the Xingtian thieves, but he also led his troops to control the main city of Shanhaiguan and continued to resist the Jiannu army and Xingtian thieves. He vowed that he would defend Shanhaiguan. No matter who he was, he would not surrender. In short, he would be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Please rest assured by Ming Sizong Zhu Youjian.

These words are all things on the surface. As for Zhu Youjian's belief or not, it's up to him. Even if there is a Jinyiwei wanted to be a secret, Wu Xiang and the Ming army under his command did not change their flag. It was still under the banner of the Ming Dynasty. This is also an endless lawsuit. Zhu Youjian did not dare to believe in the Jinyiwei. In that case, Wu Xiang's family in the capital will be arrested and killed, at most, to strengthen their surveillance.

Even Zhou Yuji, who had rushed to Xifengkou to garrison, listened to Lu Xiangsheng's words and sent someone to report to the court that Xing Tian's army raided Shanhaiguan, and he could not be able to compete, but Wu Xiang put the overall situation first. In order to prevent the construction slave army from entering the customs, he sent him to lead the "residuals" to Xifeng. The mouth was put on defense to prove that Wu Xiang had not been sentenced to the Heavenly Army, which was estimated that Comrade Zhu Youjian, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was confused for a while.

So Wu Xiang doesn't have to worry about the safety of his family in the capital for the time being. What's more, after Feng Weihan arranged the affairs here, he left Shanhaiguan today and rushed back to Beijing again to arrange to secretly protect the Wu family's family. In addition, there are also some families of the Ming army generals under Wu Xiang. In the capital, Feng Weihan will also arrange people to protect them, and strive to secretly move their families out of the capital in advance to ensure their safety before the Dazhong army reaches the capital in the future.

So Wu Xiang and his generals can rest assured that they can go all out to cooperate with the Dazhong Army to fight the battle of Shanhaiguan.

Regarding the matter of changing defense, Wu Xiang and Yan Chongxi discussed that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is limited, which is a common understanding between the two sides. Although the generals of the Ming army are not convinced, they still have to admit in their hearts that they really do not have the Dazhong army to fight, so Wu Xiang agreed that the Ming army in Shanhaiguan will concentrate their troops. In the three customs cities of Shanhaiguan, Dongluo City and Beiyi City, they defended these three places with heavy troops. At the same time, some officers and soldiers listened to Yan Chongxi's dispatch, cooperated with the Dazhong Army, acted as auxiliary soldiers of the Dazhong Army, and cooperated in the defense of the side wall west of the main city of Shanhaiguan, and several Guancheng, including the South Wing City and Xiluo City, were also handed over to the Dazhong Army. Responsible for defense.

With their current strength, although they have been enhanced by 15,000 soldiers of the Dazhong Army, it is not enough to fight with the Jiannu army. Today, such a counterattack battle can no longer be fought. After the Jiannu army suffers a big loss, it will definitely not suffer such a loss, so their main energy is to defend first. Live here, wait for the arrival of the Middle Army and the Right Army, then fight with Jiannu, and fight back the Jiannu army to Liaodong in one fell swoop.

Although it was already midnight at this time, the news that the Dazhong Army and the Daming Mountain Customs garrison had won a great victory under the customs today still spread, and immediately spread all over the Shanhaiguan. In addition to Wu Xiang and the Dazhong Army's intention, many people spontaneously rushed to tell each other and told the news overnight. It was passed far away.

Therefore, the people and even the squires who left those who did not escape in the area near the Shanhaiguan in the customs all cheered and cheered. Some squires began to arrange their servants overnight to drive out the pigs and sheep in the house, and then some food filled a few jars of wine. At dawn, they rushed to the Shanhaiguan area. Although they are a little worried about whether the Dazhong army will come here and imitate other places and plunder them, now they also know that the state affairs are irreversible. The Ming Dynasty is over. Now if the Dazhong army blocks Jiannu, then they will be under the rule of the Dazhong Dynasty in the future. I was born, so now it's better to go and make a good deal with the Dazhong army first, so these squires have also prepared the same congratulatory gift for the Dazhong army.

As for the people, it's better to say that they don't care who is in charge of the world! In a word, they were most afraid of Jiannu and Tarots entering the customs. Previously, they were afraid of hiding from the Ming garrison and did not dare to come to help the war. But now they know that the Dazhong Army has also joined the regiment and followed the Ming army to fight the Tarots, so they have enough confidence. So they have carried the guy style under the organization of the squire and followed one after another. They rushed to Shanhaiguan and planned to fight for the Ming army or the Dazhong army. They couldn't kill the enemy. At least there was no problem carrying something. In order to prevent the tars from entering the customs, the people spared no effort.

After a whole day's urgent march, although the left army was very tired, Yan Chongxi, considering the urgency of the military situation, still ordered to start changing the defense with the defenders of the Ming army that night. On the border gate in the west area of Shanhaiguan City, the lights were bright all night, and the lights and torches were bright and loose, illuminating the whole Great Wall. The snow is bright, and the light is like a long dragon, across the mountains and fields.

Many Ming troops pulled down the side wall and withdrew from the enemy building, and handed over the location of the defense to the Dazhong Army, and they began to turn to the main city of Shanhaiguan and Dongluo City to garrison in large numbers. Some of the Ming army were ordered to stay as auxiliary soldiers of the Dazhong Army and help the Dazhong Army guard the customs. This time, the staff officers of the Left Army were busy. With the implementation of the staff system, the commanders of the armies found an advantage that after having these staff officers, they can use a lot less brains and effort to give many things to the staff officers of these staff to consider and arrange, and they only need to make various suggestions to the staff officers. Just make a decision, which made them to make fewer mistakes and be lazy, so why didn't they not do it? So they were immediately ordered to set up a staff department under their respective hands. Xiao Tianjian sent a group of staff officers, and selected a large number of officers with staff potential from the armies, and set up a staff division among the armies. Xiao Tianjian intends to equip the staff officer at the first level of the battalion. In the next step, Xiao Tianjian intends to even directly deploy the staff officer to the company level to improve the staff officer system.

Therefore, Yan Chongxi basically doesn't have to worry much about such a change of defense. The staff officers came up with the plan and the candidates for generals everywhere. Yan Chongxi only needs to nod and order the implementation after a little consideration and adjustment according to their plan. Therefore, Yan Chongxi's generals are not the busiest people. It was the staff officers who were busy on all fours and hit the back of the head with their heels, which made Lu Xiangsheng sympathize with the staff.

The orderly difference from the Dazhong Army is that the Ming army. Because the Ming army has no staff to speak of, the matter basically depends on Wu Xiang and the subordinate generals to mobilize people to issue orders. This night, Wu Xiang and the generals of the Ming army are all busy with farts, but even so, they are organized with the Dazhong Army. Compared with the methodical defense, their withdrawal action is a mess, like a mess.

Many officers and soldiers don't know what they should do, and where to report after changing their defense. As a result, they bumped around the border gate like a group of headless flies, which made many soldiers and soldiers shake their heads and sympathize with them.
