Rise of Another World: I Have an Empire System

Chapter 43 Continent Secrets (2)

"You need to observe military discipline and obey the orders of Marquis Anding, otherwise even if Lan returns to the capital, he will not feel at ease..." Outside the barracks, Lan Shaoqun dressed in Yanju uniforms, an old servant, and a lame donkey, Shi Shiran left without taking anything else, but to his surprise, the commanders of the Left and Right Route Army, Commander Tongzhi, Commander Qianshi, Qianhu, Deputy Qianhu, Zhenfu, Baihu They all knelt on both sides of the official road, wanting to keep him!But his successor, Zuo Shilang of the Ming Dynasty Military Department, Xu Yuan, Marquis of Anding, was sitting in the empty tent of the Chinese Army and was furious!

However, in the face of this situation, even though Xu Yuan, the Marquis of Anding, was an honored servant of the Long Xun, he had nothing to do with these poor soldiers. In the end, Xu Hou had no choice but to order his own soldiers to escort these unrecognized officials out of the country. The Chinese army's account is responsible for beating twenty army sticks to settle the matter!

At the beginning of the 13th year of Jingxi, Xia Ting learned that the coach of the Ming army in the south of the river had changed, and thought that the time for a counterattack had come, so he dispatched 1 imperial troops from Anyang (the capital city), and 5000 infantry troops from Chenzhou (the east of Anyang, west of Qingzhou). 1 people, Quzhou (north of Chenzhou, southeast of Xuanzhou, equivalent to the whole of Hebei in China, Anhui, Shandong, and a small part of Henan) stayed behind Sima Army 2 people, Qingzhou (east of Chenzhou, equivalent to Hebei in China, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui Minor Division, Shandong all) 5000 horse infantry, Liaozhou (east of Quzhou, equivalent to the entire Liaoning of China, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Hebei minor) 5000 horse troops, and Xuanzhou infantry 5000 A total of 20 people from six groups went south to meet with more than 30 people from the remaining three armies in Lizhou to rebuild the Hutoushan camp and Liyuan camp, trying to take the opportunity to defeat the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River and regain the grain-producing state-Lizhou. Moreover, in order to be more on the safe side, Xia Ting also paid a lot of money to hire Manzhou (Emperor Taiping, the uncle of Emperor Jingxi of Great Xia, came to the throne for three years, and ordered the general Mao Yu to move 20 civilians in Qu, Chen, Qing, Lei, and Xuan. Thousands of slaves went north to build six big cities, more than 24 small cities, and nearly a hundred small forts, forming the No. [-] five states of the Great Xia Dynasty, Manzhou, although the size and number of counties under its jurisdiction were not as good as the original [-] states , but it can also be regarded as the most prosperous place in the extreme north, and it is also the front line against the Mongols, Jurchens and their indigenous lackeys, the Chadani, Fuling, Rasta, and Linhu) generations of enemies [-] people from Chadani and Rajati rode south to help!

Facing the aggressive 16 enemy troops, Xu Yuan, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, also panicked, and then the master who had never fought before decided to stick to the various camps in Lizhou and not confront the Xia army head-on!He wanted to use the Ming army's good at defending the city and defending the fortress to consume the elite and vital forces of the Xia army!

However, Chen Qizhi, the commander-in-chief of the Xia army who is facing him, is not stupid. He joined the army at the age of 12, has been battle-tested, has rich experience in battle, and has made great military exploits for the Great Xia Empire!Therefore, he did not intend to forcefully attack the Ming army guarding the city wall, but stationed the infantry brigades such as Chenzhou Army, Forbidden Army, Qingzhou Army and Xuanzhou Army in the camp, and also restrained the Ming army guarding the city wall; State guard envoys (under the military system of the Xia Empire, a local state is allowed to support [-] troops, and the highest commander is the guard envoy, all of whom are descendants of the family. , the garrison envoy, the card army, the Yamen general, the thousand general, the hundred general, the team leader, the fire leader) Mao Shanqi led the Quzhou army, a part of the Liaozhou army and the Qingzhou army with a total of more than [-] cavalry to intercept and kill the Ming army Sentry cavalry, ambush the food transport team of the Ming army!Sometimes, this group of daring rangers even dared to go deep into the territory of Lizhou, wandering outside Su County, the temporary capital of the Ming court!

The sentry cavalry was killed, so that the Ming army in the city could not get accurate military information; the food team was ambushed, so that the Ming army in the city could not get enough supplies... All of this made the Ming army at the bottom They are full of disappointment with the new Li Lei Supervisor Xu Yuan, and thus miss the former Li Lei Supervisor (first served as Li Lei Jinglue, and later promoted to Supervisor due to military exploits) Lan Butang!

"The blue thief has left, and we have no worries about the future. Xu Yuan, a smeared boudoir woman, is not as powerful as conquering the army, so there is nothing to worry about..." Seriously, ever since the old opponent Lan Shaoqun was defeated by Ni Ming After the false leader was transferred back to Sucheng, most of the senior generals of the Xia army, such as the guards, defense envoys, and defense envoys of each state, relaxed their worries, because in their hearts, Lan Shaoqun's departure meant that The strength of the Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River has been reduced by half, and it will no longer pose any threat to our side!

And the subsequent development of the situation was just as they thought. The newly appointed Xu Yuan could not suppress the arrogant soldiers under his command, nor could he make a strong counterattack against the continuous harassment of the Xia army. Therefore, the balance of victory for a while It seems to be inclined to the Xia army led by Chen Qizhi!

It's just that sometimes luck is like a bitch in a brothel, if you don't want her to come, you don't want her to come, but you don't, but you stick to it!In the summer of Jingxi's 13th year, a plague broke out in the camp of the Xia army, which had already gained the upper hand, for some reason. Tens of thousands of the army of more than [-] died at once. Shan Dazhai.Therefore, the precarious Ming army got the most precious respite!

In the second year of Ming Yongwei, Emperor Xingzu appointed Liu Xiucheng, the son of Liu Wenxiong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, as the governor of the rear army and the commander of the Lizhou capital, Hong Jianbin, the son of Hong Yushan, the Marquis of Leicheng, as the commander of the capital, and Guo Lifu, the cousin of Hu Yinglong, the uncle of Yueshan. As the commander of the vanguard guards, he led the newly formed six guards with a total of [-] troops to help Xu Yuan, the governor of Li Lei who was far away in Yushan.

In the 13th year of Jingxi, the Ming army of Yushan Xuyuan Department received the support of Liu Xiucheng Department, led by artillery warships, annihilated the Yunmeng navy of the Xia army in one fell swoop, surrounded the Liyuan camp from the flanks, and firmly held Chen Qingzhi's Xia army firmly. Surrounded by Liyuan!

What surprised Chen Qingzhi and his defense envoys most was that Xu Yuan, whom they thought was a pedantic scholar and even a boudoir woman, was not easy to mess with!First showing weakness to the enemy, and then taking advantage of the enemy's lax vigilance, concentrating all the troops for a thunderous blow, and completely blocking the opponent in the camp, this is extremely scheming!

At this time, looking at the south bank of the river, except for Chen Qingzhi's Liyuan camp, all the Xia army forces in Lizhou were wiped out by the Ming army that had been preparing for a long time!The Chinese people of the Great Xia Empire really underestimated the cohesion and solidarity of the Ming Empire!The Ming Empire that descended from a different time and space has finally officially opened its mouth full of fangs to this chaotic imperial continent!

In July of the 13th year of Jingxi, the Ming army recaptured Yunmeng, an important town in Leizhou, and wiped out eight thousand garrison troops in Leizhou. In autumn, Qin Chengzhi, the prefect of the county, and countless officials under them!What shocked the world even more was that Bai Xiqiu, who couldn't bear the torture of Jin Yiwei, and Qin Chengzhi successively defected and surrendered to the Ming court.

In October of the 13th year of Jingxi, Qian Liewen, a rich man in Muling County, Kang County, Leizhou, killed the county magistrate Su Dawei and led the gentry in the county to surrender to the Ming army. Hu Guangchang opened the gate of the village to welcome the Ming army into the city. On November 13th of the 13th year of Jingxi, Qian Yun, the new commander of the Kangcheng Guard, led more than [-] troops from the guard to Leicheng, the city of Leizhou. After that, the Ming army ignored them for days The march was extremely hard, and the city was attacked overnight, but Leicheng was a state city with many garrisons and a strong city, so it was difficult to conquer it in a hurry!Therefore, Qian Yun did not spend his precious troops under the high walls of Leicheng, but turned to join another Ming army and easily captured the barrier of Leicheng, Ziting Mountain.As soon as Ziting Mountain came down, Leicheng appeared naked in front of the Ming army like a stripped woman!Moreover, the Ming army, supported by troops, also cut off all the passages from Leicheng to the outside world, preparing to play a good game of catching a turtle in a jar.

At the end of November in the 13th year of Jingxi, after learning that Leicheng, an important town in the southeast, was besieged by the Ming army, Qingzhou in the north of Leizhou had to send an infantry army of thousands of people south to rescue under the stern urging of the central court.However, when they heard that the Ming army had broken through Leicheng, everyone fled back to Qingzhou several times faster than when they came!

At the beginning of the 14th year of Jingxi, Leicheng, which was besieged by the Ming army for three months, finally fell under the attack of cannons and catapults.And this also officially marked that most of Leizhou, represented by Leicheng, had fallen under the control of the Ming army.
