Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 692: success or failure

The Guards have always been very special in the system of the King Division of the Tang Dynasty. It does not belong to the 6th Army system, nor does it belong to the Navy system. The funds it needs are not even paid from military expenses, but directly from the military. Internal expenditures.

The Guards were directly under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and there was not even a commander in the Guards, because the commander of the Guards was actually Emperor Li Xuan himself.

Li Xuan is in charge of the daily administrative affairs of the Guards. At the same time, there are three chiefs of staff of the Guards to assist Li Xuan. These three chiefs of staff are respectively responsible for the military and administrative department, the military command department, and the logistics department, and then there are six others below. Deputy Chief of Staff, a total of nine staff members assist Li Xuan in managing and commanding the Guards.

More importantly, even the Chief of Staff of the Military Command has no power to mobilize the troops of the Guards. Only Li Xuan has this power.

And the Guards is not only the 6th Army, it even has a small-scale Guards fleet, with more than 20 inland warships!

At the same time, the recruitment of soldiers and the training of officers in the Guards are also carried out independently. The soldiers are mainly recruited from Xingquan Mansion, and there are also some soldiers from Zhaoqing Mansion. Although some of the officers are from the Imperial Academy, but recently the guards The army itself has already set up a guards officer academy and began to train officers on its own.

As for the Guards Academy, its students are not recruited from the outside world, but are all selected from the young army camp!

Now, if the students of the young barracks are old enough to join the army, they will not go to the martial arts school or the imperial school to study, but will directly enter the guard school to study, and after they have completed their studies, they will directly serve as officers of the guard.

In the past six months, the Guards have basically completely separated from the 6th Army and the Navy, and established an independent system, which has led to the fact that there are many institutions under the Guards.

It has a 6th Army troop with a total strength of 7,000 people, a naval force with a size of about 500 people, and various directly affiliated institutions, including a Guards Officer Academy and two recruit battalions.

And all kinds of institutional settings are far closer to modernization than the 6th Army and the Navy, let alone the establishment of the army. The main force is already a combination of musketeers, spearmen, artillery, and cavalry, a typical modern army. Configuration.

Even in military uniforms, the Guards are different from the 6th Navy!

In the second half of Xuanping's third year, in order to distinguish it from the 6th Navy, the Guards changed into their own uniforms. Instead of using the red uniforms like the 6th Army, they used pure black uniforms, although the tops were still the same. It maintains the traditional Hanfu shape of Youjin, but it is more indirect and smooth.

The Guards use pure black uniforms. Naturally, it is not to hide themselves better in the dark. The modern army and the modern army have completely different color requirements for military uniforms. The modern army mainly confuses the enemy. , and the color of the military uniforms of the modern army is mainly conspicuous and easy to command and has a visual impact.

Therefore, the new uniform of the Guards is extremely beautiful in appearance, but on the other hand, it maintains the visual impact. Looking at the formation of the Guards from a distance, it is a black piece, and the visual impact is very large!

At present, there are six infantry battalions under the jurisdiction of the Guards, one cavalry battalion, one artillery regiment, and one baggage regiment. In Sanshui, one battalion was stationed at Guangzhou, and the other was stationed at Foshan.

In addition to the Guards, the 6th Army in the Pearl River Estuary area also has four independent fortresses, which are stationed at Humen Fort, Changzhou Fort, Shamian Fort and Xinhui Fort.

In addition to the relatively large four fort groups above, there are actually small and medium-sized forts in naval bases such as Hong Kong and Haojing, but these forts are garrisoned by the 6th battalion of the Navy.

The 6th Army, the Guards, and the Navy worked together to support the defense mission of the Pearl River estuary.

Despite this, the defenses of the Guangzhou area are still somewhat inferior compared to the past, and the vacancy caused by the 6th Infantry Division's transfer away is not so easy to fill.

Fortunately, the situation of the Pearl River Estuary is much better than before. The Datang Navy has firmly controlled the Pearl River estuary, and the enemy fleet has not dared to break into the main Pearl River estuary. Neither the navy nor the Flange were capable of dispatching a large number of 6th troops to the 6th coast, so although the number of troops was small, the safety of Guangzhou could barely be guaranteed.

Li Xuan was tossing around in the rear, not hesitate to weaken the defense force in the Pearl River Delta region, and also transferred the 6th Infantry Division to the northern Guangdong region to garrison, all of which were to prevent Li Chunjing from capsize in the gutter!

And Li Chunjing on the front line obviously didn't know that Li Xuan was ready for the Second Army's defeat. Now he is full of high spirits, ready to take a 'little' risk to capture Nanchang in one fell swoop, so as to achieve The realization of the strategic goal of the entire Second Army going north.

After determining the latest strategy, Li Chunjing and Brigadier General Gu Shizhong discussed for more than two hours, and there was only one thing to discuss: to attack Nanchang!

When Gu Shizhong first heard that Li Chunjing asked him to take the fourth mixed regiment to attack Nanchang, his heart couldn't help but stir up. Nima, this task is not easy to handle. The army was wiped out under the city of Nanchang!

But Li Chunjing encouraged him, put on several high hats for Gu Shizhong, and patted his chest to assure that the main force of the Second Army would definitely attract Zhang Yue's main force to Fuzhou City, especially the cavalry of the Ming Army , it will be entangled, and will never let Zhang Yue's main force interfere with the actions of the fourth mixed regiment.

Let Gu Shizhong boldly attack Nanchang!

If it is really impossible to fight, and the Ming army has returned to help, then retreat directly, and it is also possible to fight in Nanchang in the future.

What he said made Gu Shizhong sweat a lot. What a joke, if he went to Nanchang City, if he couldn't take Nanchang in a short time, would the Ming army recover? If they pursued, would their fourth mixed regiment still have a chance to escape?

No matter how awesome the fourth mixed regiment is, it only has two legs, and it also carries a large group of heavy artillery and baggage. No matter how it runs, it can't outrun the four legs of other cavalry!

This time, if it doesn't work, it's a plan!

But Li Chunjing gave the task, and Li Chunjing has already expressed his full support. Even if Gu Shizhong felt that this trip was dangerous, he had to bite the bullet and continue.

However, Brigadier General Gu Shizhong didn't care about the big one. He said on the spot that it would not be enough to take Nanchang quickly and strengthen a heavy artillery battalion.

In this regard, Li Chunjing waved his hand and said yes!

Then Gu Shizhong said that in order to ensure the advance rate, the logistics personnel must be greatly strengthened. He hoped that a baggage battalion from the 5th Infantry Division would be assigned to assist, and Li Chunjing was accurate again!

Then Gu Shizhong wanted to speak again!

But it was interrupted by Li Chunjing, who only listened to him: "The military can't give you more troops, but the ammunition can give you some priority, and the grenades will be doubled for you!"

After Gu Shizhong listened, he could only nod his head and say yes!

He also knows that his trip is dangerous, but it is not easy for the main force of the Second Army to go to Fuzhou. If he is not careful, he will be entangled by the main force of Zhang Yue, and then the main force of the Second Army will be 20,000 people by the enemy. The scene of the siege of 100,000 people!

Therefore, the Second Army cannot be weakened too much!

After the meeting, Brigadier General Gu Shizhong walked out of Li Chunjing's camp in the Chinese army, looked up at the sky, and sighed!

Even though he had already requested more assistance from Lieutenant General Li Chunjing, he still had no idea whether the raid on Nanchang would be successful!

Especially the 4,000 cavalry of the Ming army made him deeply embarrassed.

The Ming army's cavalry didn't need 4,000. As long as 1,000 cavalry came, they would be able to hold back their infantry, and then wait for the main force of the Ming army to kill, and their fourth mixed regiment would probably be wiped out.

But since he has already taken over the task, and in the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty, the military orders are like mountains, even if Li Chunjing asked him to take the fourth mixed regiment to make a suicide charge, he must do it!

After returning to the regiment headquarters of the Fourth Mixed Regiment, Gu Shizhong took a group of officers and staff members with the regiment headquarters and began to formulate a detailed battle plan.

At the same time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Second Army was also divided into two groups, and Li Chunjing continued to lead the main force of the Second Army eastward to Fuzhou.

As for Brigadier General Gu Shizhong, he took the strengthened Fourth Mixed Regiment to Fengcheng. At the same time, in order to hide its whereabouts, the Fourth Mixed Regiment marched at night.

In addition to the original 5,000 troops, the strengthened Fourth Mixed Regiment also had a heavy artillery battalion, a field artillery battalion, and a baggage battalion, with a total strength of about 6,500 troops.

Brigadier General Gu Shizhong brought his troops back to Fangfeng City while thinking hard about how to attack Nanchang!

At the same time, Li Chunjing also took the main force of the Second Army and started to go straight to Fuzhou. In order to speed up, they voluntarily abandoned some of the baggage and extended the marching time.

After the main force of the Second Army began to rush to Fuzhou, the news was soon learned by Zhang Yue!

"The pseudo-Tang bandit army has gone to Fuzhou. These pseudo-Tang bandit troops are probably trying to capture Fuzhou before we arrive!" Zhang Yue looked southeast, and then frowned!

Then it was also the order that the whole army began to increase, trying to catch up with the main force of the pseudo-Tang bandit army.

But a day later, Zhang Yue frowned, because he realized that it was almost impossible for the entire army to catch up with the Puppet Tang bandit army.

One day has passed, and the distance between the two sides has not shortened, but has been further widened. If this continues, I am afraid that the distance between the two sides will be five or even six days.

And once the puppet army of Tang thieves arrives in Fuzhou five or six days first, then Fuzhou will be finished. Zhang Yue does not think that the guards composed of 30,000 ordinary recruits and guards in Fuzhou city can stop the puppet. The main force of the Tang bandit army of 20,000 to 30,000 people attacked.

Not to mention five or six days, it is estimated that it will not be able to hold for three days!
