第四百一十九章

The cold plum blossoms in early winter are still blooming, but there is more wax white and a light purple-red tone.

The governor who presided over Jiangning's journey was once again inspired by good news. He had a very big appetite and ate an extra bowl of Sanrong Pork. This time, it was the result of diplomatic negotiations from the northwest.

According to the news that several secret envoys sent to the northwest, eight hundred miles stepped up and returned it back.

From emerging vassal states like Guangwei Army and Fengxiang Army to old Shuofang princes like Weiyuan Army and Wuwei Town, they all expressed some positive willingness and attitude towards the large number of the world and the current situation and basic structure of surrender.

You should know that in order to prevent the Western Army from entering the pass and intervening in Luodu's war situation, which led to the re-enactment of history, the State Administration of China even used the two major border troops of the Western Army.

The name of the Northern Expedition was a thousand miles away, and they seized the strategic points of Hanzhong and Hedong from one south and one east respectively. As long as they dared to cross Tongguan, they would be attacked from both sides or risked being cut off from the rear.

The Northwest Army Town, named the Western Army, has always been a different system, but it is divided into a large group of military towns and many large and small military towns and guards according to the region.

However, this situation was the result of the Western Army's incomparable promotion after the Yiwei Rebellion and Jiayou's great advance. As the behind-the-scenes promoter of the Western Army's advancement, Liang Xia, who was a little beyond the reach of the Western Kingdom, was just a matter of leaving behind in Central China.

By disguised constraints and trade-offs, the Later Tang court after Emperor Chengguang's revival would not be so dominant that it would overwhelm the Daxia. After all, it was the nominal sect leader of the country. As the saying goes, "There is nothing new under the sun."

Since the Zhang family, who had the same Western army as the army, was the authoritative and authoritative person in Luodu, the Western army that spanned most of the world and split again, most of the military towns left in the northwest are only famous, and they still maintain the last name of paying tribute to the Northern Dynasties.

Most of the time, we do not listen to the propaganda or the tune. Only when some normal and abnormal replacement occurs within, or when there is endless disputes between us but cannot continue to fight, and we need to go down the stage, will we make symbolic demands, such as rewards and gifts from the Northern Dynasties or paid mediation and intervention.

If the Luodu court wants to use their power, such as from short-term cooperation in sweeping the grassland to long-term entry into the Central Plains to fighting, they must pay enough costs and conditions.

Therefore, for Daliang, which has already gained the upper hand in the Northern Expedition, these Northwest Military Towns that have long been self-contained have no unforgettable space and room.

The results of this secret diplomatic mission, while ensuring its interests and current situation, also reaffirmed the basic attitude of some powerful vassal states in the Western Army to continue to be out of the matter during this Northern Expedition that won the Central Plains.

Some military towns in Kansai even handed over symbolic hostages under the name of sending permanent envoys to the Memorial Records. They were rushing to the sky and night to the sky.

Although this tone and attitude are not impossible to change. However, since there are sufficient interests as a guarantee, and under the joint monitoring and confrontation between the two armies, it is difficult to see any variables and accidents in the short term.

In this way, he could finally calm down and take a good night's sleep early.

The secondary battlefield north of Luodu, local offensives gradually entered a certain critical stage.

When my army also appeared in the attack sequence, the defenders at the city of Nanguan City were completely suppressed and could not raise their heads. They could only use aimless and accurate throwing objects, which tenaciously reflected a sense of helpless existence.

Therefore, when the momentum of friendly forces continuing to climb the city to attack attracted the attention and firepower of most defenders, the mixed commando formed by grenades, white soldiers and engineers from our army, led by the fourth general Yang Zaixing, also rushed to the city gate to carry out some kind of preset operation.

Fortunately, the city gate of Heyang Bridge South Pass, in terms of height and thickness, is not as abnormal as Wulao Pass and Luo.

Therefore, they first squeezed and sprayed the iron-packed iron surface with heavy tinder oil in the leather bag, and then repeatedly burned it, then poured condensed vinegar water, and the iron surface was twisted and expanded. Finally, they used tools to soften and deformed iron on the city gate, and dug and pulled it off one by one, revealing the wooden inner inside.

Immediately afterwards, these wooden surfaces were quickly chiseled out in a large hole with knives, axes and drills, attached to the special gunpowder bag of our army, and then fixed it with large nails to make the original orientation of the large iron pot.

The fire was ignited and the pot was scattered and splashed, and several cracks appeared on the thick wooden door, which could be seen with naked eyes.

Immediately afterwards, several six-inch long cannons on the loading wheel frames also rushed to the city gate under the cover of the house-shaped rushing car. Within ten steps, they pulled fire and fired at the cracks on the city gate.

Looking from the distance from the lens barrel, the fireworks were filled with the doorway. With the clanging sound, the undefeated city gate shattered and shattered in the smoke and dust.

Friends were crowded by the city walls. The ready-to-go team was impatient to raise their signs and rushed in with their blades, and almost face to face with the enemy defenders who were hurriedly blocking the corridor.

The howling, roaring and wailing screams, and with the fierce close-knit hand-to-hand combat, waves rushed out of the door. I saw a series of slippery blood quickly over the soldiers' ankles and flowing out of the big buns in the door.

Other soldiers who chose the front-strike used ladders and multiple levels of wreckage to climb to the top of the city again and fought with the defenders repeatedly. For a moment, the enemy defenders in the city under the city were overwhelmed by the enemy.

Although the rest of the defenders in Nanguan City were fighting for beasts and also dropped the zigzag iron gate. However, the Dao Fighting Team, who had been prepared for a long time, used only two special unicorn chariots and a few death warriors to hold on to the falling gate, and let the defenders block the passage, cut off the Dao Fighting Warriors entering, and then made their efforts completely empty.

However, since the closing door has opened, it inevitably turns into a downward trend and gradually retreats step by step.

Although the city of Nanguan was in crisis, it sent a signal for help, causing the Yellow River Sands and the North City on the other side to gather and draw troops again, hurried across the bridge to rescue, reorganized the counter-shock and assault from the north gate to regain the lost city section and the South Gate Tower, it was too late after all, and the inevitable general situation was gone.

Instead, the grenadiers who entered the city first piled up fire and thunder bombs in the dense crowd, and the bombings were overturned and defeated. As a result, Du Shulang, deputy chief commander of the artillery regiment, and a group of gunners carried the pound-weight cannon to the gate of Nanguan City, and the enemy troops gushed out of the north gate were chasing.

After dispersing and annihilated the remaining defenders on the city wall, they took advantage of the victory and further added the cannon to the North Gate Tower. They hurriedly tried several shots, splashing the projectiles on the bridge deck and in the river, and easily interrupted and forced the reinforcements coming from the opposite side to retreat.

After completely capturing Nanguan City and repelling Zhongcheng and Beicheng to assist, our army did not intend to pursue the victory, but instead turned to local consolidation and defense. Anyway, after taking Nanguan City, the strategic purpose of cutting off the north bank to assist through Heyang Bridge has been initially achieved.

After the war, I cleaned and counted, but found that after breaking the pass, I found that the captive military generals and officials were quite high.

It turned out that at Heyang Bridge, the Northern Dynasties followed the three joints and the full set of subordinates of the previous dynasty, including tax officials, Qianjian and Yan and Iron Inspection Office, which were under their jurisdiction and stationed more than 10,000 soldiers all year round. It also represents the last established military force outside the Luodu City. Most of the elite troops in the three gates were concentrated in Nanguan City, with about 8,000 people.

This also means that after this battle, we completely closed the enemy of Luodu, gained the last path of foreign aid, and weaved it into a turtle in the jar.

This is also due to the merits of winning the Wulao Pass. In addition, many accumulated items that were not too late to be destroyed in the pass, including both wealth and food and fodder that were indispensable in front of the army. So everyone was very happy for a moment.

I participated in our army in the final conquest stage, and the casualties combined have not exceeded 100.

"A certain family should join hands with the manager to seek credit..."

Wang Gui, the former commander of the army, was covered in blood and fireworks, could not hide his smile on his face.

"You should also choose what you need for the achievements within the pass..."

He obviously expressed his words very well

"I don't know if this is the right thing to do..."

"No, our troops only provide a little help, and the main force is the soldiers of your troops."

I smiled and declined his kindness.

"So, please give me a little more than just a brief mention, and then the deputy signatories will be..."

"How can I make it..."

He was a little surprised and surprised

"Isn't a certain family a person who is unclear right or wrong..."

"How dare you take this result alone..."

"Actually, I still have a reluctance to ask..."

I paused and said

"I hope your department will fulfill..."

"oh……"

He was stunned.

"That's the details of this battle to win the door,..."

I explained it truthfully.

"The tactics here are not yet skillful, and there are still some shortcomings..."

"So please cover up for me..."

Although our army is a typical firearm projection force, it has never lacked the ability to attack. Therefore, it has developed the siege tactics of combination punches, but it was summarized through continuous practice and application from Jiangbei to Hebei.

But for the long time, I have always kept it a little bit hidden and kept it aside, and I didn’t show it easily, and tried to maintain the reputation of being the best in field battles and defending the first place in the open, which is to avoid being counted as a person in the sequence of being good at attacking and destroying his own strength.
