This news made the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Chongkang furious. All the princes in the court hall were silent.
Let the people of the capital become infinitely frightened!
Emperor Taishang and Emperor Chongkang could not help but be furious about this matter.
Between Dajin and the capital, there are three lines of defense set up by Daxia.
These three lines of defense are each stronger than the last.
Under normal circumstances, how could the 200,000 Jin army silently bypass these defense lines and suddenly appear hundreds of miles away from the capital?
Could it be that all the officers and soldiers stationed on the defensive line were dead?
Before that, let alone intercepting the Jin Army, they didn't even know the specific marching route of the Jin Army?
This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
When this happens, it can only be said that the officers and soldiers on these defense lines must be connected with the Jin Army, which will lead to this situation.
Both the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Chongkang had their own plans in mind.
The reason why this situation occurs must have a lot to do with change.
This is a game played by the conservatives and military generals together with the Jin Kingdom.
Seeing that the reform is progressing in full swing, it has now been perfectly implemented in Taiping County, and will be implemented in the entire Changzhi Prefecture next year.
In just a few years, a general trend will become irreversible.
But at this juncture, the conservatives took action decisively!
They will definitely not sit back and watch something like this happen.
The moment he got the news, Emperor Chongkang immediately came to Ningshou Palace and conspired with the Supreme Emperor for a long time.
Next, Emperor Chongkang began to mobilize troops and horses to guard the capital.
The capital is defended by the Jingying Camp, which is also known as the three major camps, including the Five Military Camps, the Three Thousand Camps and the Shenji Camp.
The fifth military camp is divided into the central army, the left and right tucks and the left and right sentries.
In addition to the sergeants coming from the Beijing Guards, the horse infantry officers and troops from the Central Capital Remaining Department and the Guards Departments of Shandong, Henan, and Daning were also transferred to the Capital to guard and train in turns, and they were called squad troops.
Affiliated to the fifth military camp are the 12th Battalion, which is responsible for the officers and soldiers of the cavalry team, the Weizishou Battalion, which is responsible for the officers and soldiers of the Zhicha Knife Hands and the Jingwei Troops, and the Young Officials and Sheren's Zhongzhong and Xiaoyi Battalions.
The Three Thousand Battalion is composed of three thousand cavalry, divided into five divisions, which are responsible for the emperor's flag, uniforms, military equipment, golden drums, royal treasures, etc.
The Shenji camp is also divided into the central army, with left and right tucks and left and right sentries. The Chinese army is divided into four divisions, and each of Ye and Shao is divided into three divisions, which are equipped with guns, cannons and other firearms.
Affiliated to this battalion is another 5,000 battalion, which handles firearms drills and escorts cavalry officers and soldiers.
In normal times, the Fifth Military Battalion practices camp formations, the Three Thousand Battalion practices patrolling, and the Shenji Battalion practices firearms. When the emperor personally went on an expedition, three battalions surrounded the emperor's camp, usually with the Shenji Battalion on the outside, the cavalry in the middle, and the infantry on the inside.
After the incident, Emperor Chongkang immediately issued an order to send Prince Teng, the military envoy to the capital camp, and several academicians, as well as the Minister of War and the Minister of War, into the study room to serve as military counselors.
In the end, Wang Ziteng was in the emperor's heart because of his merits such as patrolling the border.
In addition, Daxia's famous generals were basically guarding foreigners on the border at this time.
Therefore, it was finally decided that Wang Ziteng would be the commander-in-chief of the defense of the capital, commanding three battalions to resist the invasion of 200,000 troops.
The total strength of the three battalions together is about 200,000 soldiers and horses.
The Jin Kingdom's invading army also had 200,000 troops.
Although the Jin Kingdom has cavalry, it is more mobile.
But they only need to defend, not attack.
Coupled with the geographical advantage, purely defensive, there is not much pressure.
After all, the Jin Kingdom's 200,000-strong army could not stay for a long time.
Once they are besieged by King Daxia Qin's army, the 200,000 Jin army will definitely be in trouble, and it is unknown whether they will all be killed here.
The reason why Emperor Chongkang handed over all three battalions to Wang Ziteng was actually not because Wang Ziteng had the strongest military ability.
In fact, even if there are some military generals in the capital who are more capable than Wang Ziteng, there are not none, and there are even a few.
However, Emperor Chongkang no longer trusts those generals.
If all the generals were reliable, how could an army of 200,000 easily break through the three lines of defense and suddenly arrive hundreds of miles away from the capital?
Military generals must have connections with conservatives and Daikin.
For a while, it was difficult for Emperor Chongkang to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people.
If one accidentally hands all the three battalions into the hands of traitors, he will almost risk his life in the hands of the Kingdom of Jin.
Among these people, Wang Ziteng was the most trusted by him, so Emperor Chongkang finally chose Wang Ziteng.
After Prince Teng was awarded the important task by Emperor Chongkang, he immediately became excited.
This time Dajin's 200,000 troops pressed into the territory, which was a crisis for Daxia.
But for him, it was an opportunity.
As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, as long as he can withstand the attack of 200,000 gold troops this time, his reputation will be greatly improved.
As long as he can win, he will not only be able to go one step further, but it is also unknown that he can even be promoted to a first-level title!
He must seize this opportunity firmly.
After leaving the palace with the military talisman in his arms, Prince Teng immediately brought his own soldiers and sent a message to the commanders of the three armies, ordering them to come to the military tent and wait for orders.
On the way, Wang Ziteng thought of a strategy to defend himself against the enemy.
This time, he wants to keep the enemy at bay and never let the Jin army get even closer to the capital!
Of course, Wang Ziteng has read military books and is well versed in the art of war.
He naturally knew that the Jin Army's cavalry was invincible in the field and had tyrannical fighting power.
He never thought about fighting the Jin army in the field, otherwise he would use his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points.
His strategy was to use infantry to form a circular defensive formation outside the capital.
Since we are at a disadvantage in field battles, we will not play field battles with the Jin Army.
All you need to do is set up a defensive position and prepare for a defensive counterattack, and you will be in an invincible position.
While Wang Ziteng was still thinking, the generals of the three battalions all came to the temporary military tent.
Wang Ziteng took out his military talisman and decisively gave the order to assemble the army.
They were ordered to gather all their forces and assemble ten miles away from the capital.
After hearing this order, all the generals of the three major battalions showed panic and uneasiness on their faces.
It's a pity that Wang Ziteng was still immersed in his inner world and did not notice this.
Two hours later, all the armies of the three major battalions were assembled ten miles away from the capital.
Wang Ziteng came to order the troops in person, and when he saw all the soldiers and horses assembled in front of him, Wang Ziteng suddenly felt a very ridiculous feeling in his heart.
Is this all the strength of the three major battalions?
There are 200,000 soldiers in front of us?
It would be great if there were one hundred thousand of these people, but where could there be two hundred thousand?
Seeing this, Wang Ziteng's face suddenly darkened.
These generals really deserve to die!
At this moment, how dare you still defy the odds?
The next moment, Wang Ziteng came to the 12th Camp first.
Twelve battalions, each with 10,000 troops, totaling 120,000 troops together.
The twelve camps are respectively the Four Military Camps: Fenwu Camp, Yaowu Camp, Lianwu Camp, and Xianwu Camp;
Four Yongying Camps: Guoyong Camp, Guoyong Camp, Xiaoyong Camp, and Guyong Camp;
The four prestige camps are: establishing prestige camp, extending prestige camp, raising prestige camp, and Zhenwei camp.
Wang Ziteng came to the Fenwu Camp army first. (End of chapter)
