Outside the door, Fang Jun's soldiers shouted loudly: "Commander Qi, there is a shelling at Taiji Palace. It is probably the rebels who have started to attack."
Before he finished speaking, a series of roars were deafening, and even the ground beneath his feet shook slightly.
Fang Jun turned his head and glanced at Princess Jinyang who was clinging to him in fright. Without thinking too much, he raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head. Feeling the touch of the small little head in his palm, he comforted her with gentle words: "Don't worry, I have a brother-in-law." Here, nothing will happen."
Princess Jinyang placed Fang Jun's generous palm on the top of her head twice and nodded obediently.
Fang Jun then said to the other two princesses: "The rebels have been planning for a long time. They must want to destroy both the enemy and the enemy. I'm afraid there will be another war. I will go to the army to wait for the news. You don't have to worry. Even if the rebels get wings, they will fly." Don’t come here.”
Princess Gaoyang ignored his intimacy with Jinyang, her face was full of worry but she forced herself to be calm. She nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir, I will take good care of them. You must be careful in everything you do in the army."
Fang Jun stood up and smiled heartily: "Whether it's the Turks, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, or even hundreds of thousands of cannibals, won't they all be wiped out under my hands? The mere Guanlong rebels are in front of me. Just like a chicken and a dog's ears! Your three highnesses, please rest assured, I will go to the army immediately to thwart the rebel offensive."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
Princess Jinyang looked at Fang Jun's broad and straight back, her beautiful eyes were shining, and she was a little absent-minded...
Seeing the obsessed look on her face, Princess Gaoyang and Princess Baling looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.
"A woman chases a man, and they are separated by a veil." Although this saying has not appeared yet, the truth has existed since ancient times. Even though Fang Jun has scruples about moral ethics and can stick to his heart and not go beyond his limits, if Jin Yang takes the initiative, can Fang Jun still be able to withstand it?
…
Fang Jun came out of his own tent. The soldiers had already led the horse to him, took the reins and flew on the horse, galloping all the way to the central military tent.
Gao Kan, Cheng Wuting, Sun Renshi, Wang Fangyi, Cen Changqian, Xin Maojiang, Ouyang Tong and others were waiting here and followed Fang Jun into the big tent.
After sitting down respectively, Fang Jun asked in a deep voice: "How is the situation?"
Wang Fangyi stood up and said: "One stick of incense ago, the Guanlong rebels suddenly launched a surprise attack on Taiji Palace. According to the news that just came out from the palace, the rebels gathered more than 50,000 troops this time, and there were more than 100,000 clan members outside the city. The private army is being replenished at any time, with a fierce momentum, and a posture of fighting to the death."
Fang Jun stood up and walked to the map: "Have there been any changes between Changsun Jiaqing and Yu Wenlong?"
Wang Fangyi said: "Half an hour ago, the two rebel armies left the camp, each advanced five miles north, and then stood still. Until now, there has been no trend of continuing to advance north."
Gao Kan said: "Although the rebels probably want to use these two units to contain our right guard, so that the rebels in the city can attack Taiji Palace with all their strength and avoid a full-scale war, the general has ordered all armies to be on standby, and the light cavalry has moved ten miles forward. , patrolling back and forth along the buffer zone between the two sides, and if anything goes wrong, the entire army will assemble."
At present, the rebels deployed on the east and west sides of Chang'an City are only making oppressive gestures forward, without any intention of attacking with all their strength. It is impossible for the Youtun Guards to immediately assemble the entire army to prepare for war. If this is the case, it will inevitably lead to the fatigue of the entire army and the loss of soldiers. The tense atmosphere cannot be maintained for a long time, and it is easy for the entire army to slacken under the enemy's suspicion formation.
The army must not be lax, it must be prepared and alert at all times, so that once war breaks out, all troops can be put into action. But you can't tighten a string too tightly, because too much is not enough.
Fang Jun had full confidence in his right guard, knowing that as long as the rebels launched a surprise attack, the right guard would assemble in an instant and give the enemy a head-on blow.
He said to Wang Fangyi: "Lead all the scouts under your command to go out. If there is any disturbance outside Chang'an City, I will know it immediately. If you are careless and fail to detect the movement of the rebels in advance, resulting in the delay of the military aircraft, military law will be engaged!"
"Here!"
Wang Fangyi promised loudly, with pride surging in his chest.
It is said that times make heroes. This is the time when military disasters and political instability occur. It is the time for soldiers to make contributions. As long as they fight this battle well, how can they be promoted to a high position, have a wife and a son?
Fang Jun looked around at the crowd and said in a heavy and decisive tone: "Everyone, please be at your best, this is a decisive battle! The life and death of each person, the honor and disgrace of the right guard, and even the rise and fall of the empire, all depend on it. This battle! As soldiers, we, as the rebels are revolting and intending to bring trouble to the imperial court, must move forward unswervingly and fight to the death! Even if we die, we still want to be famous and leave dazzling achievements in the history of the empire. It is not in vain. This is the life of a man in this world!"
"Here!"
"Follow the commander-in-chief until you die!"
All the generals stood up together, then knelt down on one knee, speaking in unison and the crowd was excited.
*****
Outside the Chengtian Gate, on the ruins of the provincial government offices under the original gate in the imperial city, Changsun Wuji, wearing a helmet and a military uniform, stood on his horse, staring at the raging and smoke-filled battlefield in front of him.
This was a battle of life and death. He did not sit in Yanshoufang and command from the center as before. Instead, he dragged his injured leg and endured the pain to personally supervise the battle. He vowed to successfully reverse the battle and fight for the Guanlong clan. A vast sky.
In front of him, the Guanlong army surged toward the city gates of Chengtian, Changle, and Yong'an like a tide. Cloud ladders were set up, and dense soldiers braved the arrows, guns, bullets, rolling wood, and rocks of the defenders at the top of the city to charge. People kept screaming from the ladders. He fell, and soon there were corpses strewn all over the city.
Changsun Wuji knew that he was far from Li Jing's opponent in terms of tactics and strategy, so his strategy was to "defeat ten guilds with one force", gathering all the strength to complete the battle in one battle, leaving no backup at all, or capturing the front line of Chengtianmen, Either all the Guanlong troops were wiped out here, leaving no room for Li Jing to move around and take advantage of his tactics.
Chengtianmen had been blown up in previous battles, and now only ruins were left, but the defenders still stood high and refused to retreat.
As soon as the war started, it quickly became intense.
Although the Guanlong army was more numerous and better prepared, Donggong Sixth Army had already prepared for it. For a moment, even though the Guanlong army launched a tidal wave of offensive, it was like a storm crashing on the shore and the earth was shattering. However, the East Palace Sixth Army still defended the line of the city wall and stood erect. Does not fall.
Changsun Wuji sat on the horse, looking at the blazing battlefield in front of him with frowning eyes. He sighed softly and said to the Yuwenshi next to him: "It was the biggest omission that we failed to capture the foundry bureau and seize the firearms in its warehouse. It can be called a node that affects the situation of the war."
Yu Wenshiji's face was solemn, deeply convinced.
At that time, the Guanlong clan did not realize the importance of the foundry bureau. They just wanted to capture it to prevent the huge inventory of firearms from falling into the hands of the East Palace, which would cause additional casualties to the Guanlong officers and soldiers. Therefore, they just allowed the hastily assembled troops from the periphery to attack, and did not dispatch Guanlong's elite troops.
As a result, the attack failed for a long time, giving the academy students the opportunity to reinforce the foundry bureau. In the end, they even set fire to the warehouse, causing countless Guanlong soldiers to be buried with them...
Later, the Right Guards relied on the power of artillery to repeatedly defeat the Guanlong army, and even defeated Chai Zhewei's Zuo Guards and Li Yuanjing's royal army to the point where they were completely defeated. Only then did Guanlong finally realize that the power of firearms was enough to control the situation. A war is won or lost.
Linghu Defen on the other side stroked his beard and said with emotion: "Fang Jun is a genius!"
Fang Jun invented gunpowder, developed firearms, and then reorganized the army to equip a large number of firearms. He almost single-handedly changed the pattern of war. The cavalry troops, which were invincible in the past, now have to be cautious when facing firearms. The slightest carelessness will cause them to lose their armor.
An infantry equipped with enough firearms may even be invincible...
All military books and strategies are not only dwarfed by the power of firearms, but even useless. No matter how exquisite the art of war, no matter how perfect the strategy is, how can it withstand the power of the artillery salvo that destroys the sky and destroys the earth? A violent storm that swept through the world when countless muskets struck in three stages?
…
Yu Wenjie rode his horse from afar. When he got close, he sat up straight on his horse and clasped his fists and said, "The light cavalry of the Right Guards are out. They are ten miles ahead. There is a possibility of taking the initiative to attack. General Changsun sent someone to ask for instructions whether to take the initiative to attack." ?”
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Tell Changsun Jiaqing and Yu Wenlong to ignore the provocation of the Youtun Guards, hold their position firmly, and ensure that the Right Guards cannot go around to the east and west sides of Chang'an to attack our rear formation."
Yu Wenshiji on the side was stunned and hurriedly asked: "If this is the case, wouldn't the Youtun Guards be able to attack the private armies of the powerful clans stationed nearby without restraint?"
Changsun Wuji said coldly: "We must capture Tai Chi Palace in this battle, no matter how high the price is, we will not hesitate!"
Yu Wenshiji took a breath of cold air and was shocked and dazed.
It turns out that Changsun Wuji knew that the two armies outside the city were no match for the Youtun Guards, and deliberately used those powerful private troops to fetter the Youtun Guards, making it difficult for them to take care of the Taiji Palace war... It is almost conceivable that those who can be called "rabble" "The powerful private army will be slaughtered like dolphins, dogs and lambs in front of the well-equipped Youtun guards.
Too cruel!
