In Xuancheng, Yang Chendong only stayed for two days and left. Deng Qiang and Shi Wanshan accompanied everyone to Dalu city. In this city, LV Zhuo of the second regiment of cavalry strengthening was waiting here. When he saw Yang Chendong riding a white dragon horse in front of the team from a distance, he was excited to welcome him and dismounted to salute, To show respect and miss.
Yang Chendong rode on his horse, first returned to a military salute, then looked at Shi Wanshan and Deng Qiang who were accompanying him and said, "let me introduce you. This is LV Zhuo, head of the second mercenary regiment. He is a tiger general."
"I've seen head Lu." Deng Qiang and Shi Wanshan said with great admiration.
LV Zhuo naturally saluted with a fist. After waiting for the two sides to meet, Yang Chendong said, "OK, this is Dalu city. I'll deliver it to you now. In the future, the food and grass needed by our mercenaries will be delivered here. I hope you two will give convenience at that time. Don't make everyone unhappy. It's not good for the sword soldiers to meet."
In the front words, Yang Chendong still said with a smile on his face, but when it comes to the back, he has become a bit serious, completely different.
After listening to these words, Shi Wanshan and Deng Qiang were surprised, but there was no expression on their face. They just smiled and said, "where, where, everyone is a family, a family."
"That's good. Seeing you off for thousands of miles, there will always be a difference. Let's all say goodbye." Yang Chendong laughed and clamped his legs slightly on the belly of the white dragon horse. Then the crowd passed through the already uninhabited Dalu city and went straight to the starting city.
Looking at Yang Chendong and his party, who were jointly defended by Xiao Feng's cold front regiment and the second regiment of strengthening cavalry, they left far away. Shi Wanshan looked at his back and said with emotion, "father Deng, do you think it's time to let the tiger go back to the mountain?"
"Forbidden words." Deng Qiang said nervously as if he had been trampled on his tail. Then he looked around and found that no one had noticed here. Just then he whispered, "general Shi, some things are not up to us little people. We just have to finish the tasks assigned by the court."
"OK, OK." Shi Wanshan pretended to be frightened and nodded repeatedly, but he recognized the statement just now. Although he only met Yang Chendong twice before and after, he just had a feeling that he was extraordinary. If he was not restrained, he was afraid that he would turn into a dragon in case of wind and cloud.
Besides, Yang Chendong doesn't know how wanshishan will evaluate himself. Even if he knows, he won't care. Instead, he is curious that LV Zhuo is coming to meet him, not Hu mang. The telegram he wanted to come back was sent back a few days ago. It is said that Hu mang should welcome him in person.
Can't it be said that there is something wrong with Shicheng? With confusion and confusion, Yang Chendong asked head LV Zhuo who came forward to meet him.
"Yes." Lv Zhuo nodded without any concealment. He didn't dare to lie in front of Yang Chendong. "Soon after the lunar new year, there was a sudden movement in the northwest. Mobei Mongol headquarters suddenly sent troops to attack Yidu. The general Mu Ren, who guarded the city, was defeated and led the troops to withdraw. Therefore, it became the territory of Mobei Mongol headquarters. However, it was too close to our starting city, only more than 200 miles. Under the rush of cavalry, it would soon threaten our safety. Division tiger was worried that it would come out in the future Question, he took advantage of the other party's precarious foothold and sent troops to attack there. He really didn't have time to answer Lu Cheng to pick up the sixth young master, so he arranged for me to come with the second cavalry regiment. "
"Take Yidu?" Yang Chendong nodded his head as he listened to LV Zhuo's introduction. If this is the case, Yi is absolutely not allowed to be touched by others. To paraphrase a common saying, how can others sleep beside the couch?
But the problem comes out again. That is, everyone understands this problem. What does Mobei Mongolia think? They knew that mercenaries would not stop and would not allow them to touch the surrounding areas of Shicheng. Why did they occupy that place? At this time, there is still snow on the grassland, which is not a good time for grazing. Even if it is, a small Yidu land should not let Mobei Mongolia take such a big risk.
Intuition suddenly told Yang Chendong that something was unreasonable. In line with the idea that something abnormal is a demon, Yang Chendong's face changed and said to Yang Er around him, "quickly, immediately send a telegram to ask Shicheng if tiger mang has sent troops. If not, let them suspend."
Seeing the great change in the sixth young master's face, Yang Er quickly agreed, so he asked someone to send a telegram. Soon after, the telegram was answered. Mr. Hu had led the army three days ago and should have dealt with Mobei Mongolia now.
"Speed up the March and get back to Shicheng earlier." Yang Chendong, who heard the news, didn't speak, but took the initiative to speed up the progress. In view of Yang Chendong's performance, others also involuntarily began to speed up.
Just half a day later, a new telegram was sent to Yang Chendong. As expected, something happened as he guessed. The telegram said that there was a trap in Yidu city. The mercenaries were caught unprepared, and the army suffered heavy losses. Finally, under the dead struggle of the Tatar cavalry regiment led by the Soviet Union, they killed a way of blood. Now they have fled back to Shicheng, and the pursuers are close to the outside of Shicheng.
A long list of losses is also listed at the bottom of the telegram. According to the above introduction, the independent division lost four battalions, the Tatar cavalry regiment lost more than half, and more than 1500 people died. The three regiments newly formed by the recruits also lost up to two regiments, about 4000 people. The worst thing is that the cavalry strengthened the first regiment. The whole regiment had 3200 people, and only less than 500 people finally escaped. Gao Danhua, the second battalion commander, was killed and Deng Yu, the first battalion commander, was seriously injured.
Looking at the bloody figures on the telegram, finally, the number of mercenaries lost in this war was as high as 10000, and the wounded were countless. Yang Chendong's face was gloomy and terrible at this moment. After a full six or seven breath, he suddenly looked up and said fiercely, "the second regiment of the reinforced cavalry left two battalions to escort the ladies back to Shicheng. The remaining battalion took a wooden carriage and took the cold front regiment of head Xiao Feng to Shicheng with me."
Tens of thousands of people were injured in the war. This is the biggest casualty of mercenaries since their establishment. At the same time, it can be regarded as breaking bones and muscles. But what's more terrible is that Shicheng has fallen into danger. If the city is in danger, I'm afraid such a long time's efforts will be in vain. This is definitely not what Yang Chendong wants to see.
When the order was given, the carriage was torn down into pieces of wood, on which was a cold front soldier holding the "95" style. Thanks to the heavy snow on the road, it's easy to pull it up with its power. At present, Xiao Feng's cold front group of 1300 people, plus a reinforced camp of 1000 people in Ma xiongshan, a total of 2300 people, came rapidly to Shicheng.
At this time, Hu mang looked haggard and his face was very ugly.
He has been with the young master for the longest time. He has always wanted to prove himself with his strength and tell others that he did not become a teacher only by his qualifications. It's a good idea to say, but he was too eager and anxious. After seeing the change of the leader of Yidu City, which was only 200 miles away, he didn't even wait for Yang Chendong to come and began to use the army.
Or he didn't want to wait for the sixth young master to return. He just wanted to fight a beautiful turnaround to prove himself. But I didn't expect that it would be a great defeat, with 10000 soldiers killed and countless wounded. Now the city is in danger of being surrounded.
The scout in front has heard that Mobei Mongolian army has arrived outside the city, which is less than 20 miles away from the greenhouse plantation. The generals below are asking for instructions on how to do it.
Although the greenhouse garden only has a small area of 2000 mu, it is really nothing, but it was planted by the sixth young master. The green vegetables in it once made the Mongolian people call the God of war the messenger of eternal life. There is already a sign, and the symbolic significance is greater than the practical significance.
Such a place must not be lost. Otherwise, don't wait for the sixth young master to scold him. Hu mang won't be able to pass his heart first. "Come on, transfer out the six fire gun battalions of the independent division, and others guard the city. Even if I die in the battle, you can't open the gate and take a step out of the city."
Hu mang made up his mind, that is, the bad situation appeared because of his bad command. Now it is necessary for him to stand up and solve the problem. Although he doesn't know if he can do it, at least he will try his best, even give his life.
In the absence of Yang Chendong, the leader of the army in the city is Hu mang. Even Yu Mian cannot be compared with him in this regard. He gave the order, and the officers below had to bear it first even if they had different opinions. There is strict discipline in the army. Once the top leaders issue military orders, even if they are wrong, they should implement them. Everything will not be free to express their views until the war is over and summarized.
He left Su He to defend the city. He took six battalions of musketeers and Hu mang out of the city. When he came to the greenhouse garden, the enemy was less than five miles away from him.
"Everyone will find their own suitable array. As long as the enemy dares to come, they will fight them all back." Hu mang pinched his waist and shouted with a cold face to deputy commander Xin Honghai and the six battalion commanders.
In the six battalions, more than 2000 soldiers holding the Bayi bar spread out separately with the battalions as units, forming a huge temporary battlefield, and the straight-line distance of the battlefield reached several miles.
The mercenaries were in a tight formation, and the enemy on the opposite side stopped at the right time. Instead of launching an attack immediately, they camped, buried pots and cooked rice, showing a look of no hurry and no delay.
