Chapter 161

It is confirmed that the main force of the rebels is in Tongbei mountain, and it is even possible to regard Tongbei mountain as a nest. Wei Yuqi, who has been operating for several years and knows nothing about Chimei religion, naturally sees the final victory in front of him.

While personally urging the main force to continuously attack the city and pull out the stronghold, he also officially ordered Chen hai to lead his troops to drive north from Nanzhang mansion and join them to make up for the shortage of troops ahead.

In Wei Yuqi's view, although the main force of 50000 Xiyuan army is enough to defeat the rebels, if the rebels disperse to the deep mountains and forests of qintongshan, they want to expand the war results, the more soldiers and horses they chase, the better.

At this time, Ge Tong, Ding Shuang and Cao Shan led the first group of 5000 people to Nanzhang mansion to meet Chen Hai.

Chen Hai led the Department first, while fan Chun, who stayed in the town of qintongguan, overcame various difficulties as much as possible, and continuously transported cars and horses to the canyon west of qintongguan. Only after Ge Tong, Ding Shuang and Cao Shan led the first batch of people from Taohuawu to qintongguan to assemble, could they use these cars and horses to hurry. They arrived at Nanzhang mansion four days later than Chen Hai and them.

For Minyong, who has only been formally trained for half a month, this marching speed is fast enough.

Of course, these Minyong were directly recruited from the mines, quarries and logging yards opened up in the north of Taohuawu. They are not only highly disciplined, but also Cao Feng and Cao Shan's father and son have taught them the art of fighting for a long time, and their foundation is not bad.

After the official training of Minyong, in addition to sending out two veterans and hundreds of veterans from the seventh capital, Chen Hai first equipped them with thousands of sets of armour stored in the armour shop, and then Dong pan also sent thousands of sets of armour; After Ge Tong, Ding Shuang and Cao Shan led these people to qintongguan, fan Chun filled up the missing armor.

At the command of Chen Hai, Ge Tong has incorporated more than 100 Hu guards left behind in Taohua stronghold into these people. Even though the combat effectiveness of these people is still very limited, when necessary, they also ensure that they can follow Chen Hai's orders and firmly enter the battlefield.

In the future, more people will arrive one after another, but Chen Hai has no time to wait. Fan Cheng, the son of fan Chun, leads the fan family's 500 elite Hu Wei as the pioneer. He leads more than 10000 fierce soldiers in the seventh capital as the central army.

At the same time, Chen Hai compiled more than 40 elite disciples of taiweizong in Hexi, such as Cen Yunfei and Chen Qing, together with 5000 Minyong, as a reserve force, and followed the main force to move north.

A large number of cars and horses came in, and Chen Hai accelerated their northward advance.

The rebels also seem to be aware of the great threat posed by Chen Hai's headquarters. From the first day Chen Hai left Nanzhang mansion and drove north, a small group of rebels continued to kill and harass from the two wings of chagu.

The strength of these small groups of rebels is weak, which is not enough to form an effective threat to Chen Hai, but they are killed like moths from the deep mountains in order to slow down Chen Hai's northward advance.

The more the rebels make small moves, the more it can be seen that the long planned decisive battle between the Chimei believers and the rebels in the northern mountain of Tongbei is about to be fully opened. Chen Hai's mind is more and more determined. He is not disturbed by small groups of harassment rebels and promotes the army to advance North at full speed.

Thirty or forty spirit birds monitor every plant on the two flanks of the mountains day and night. More than 15000 soldiers are firmly pushing north. Every day, they will be closer to the main force of the Xiyuan army led by Wei Yuji.

On the sixth day, Chen Hai led his troops to the periphery of Zuojin valley. As many as a thousand good horses died in Hexi on the way, and the number of damaged baggage cars was unknown.

At this time, Chen Hai has entered the northern foothills of Qintong mountains, and the gorge road is becoming more and more dangerous and narrow.

Fortunately, Fan Cheng led the vanguard to move faster. If the storm suddenly swept through, the rebels were unprepared. Only a small group of soldiers and horses lurked in the mountains on both wings, and they had no ability to destroy Chen Hai's road.

The mountains on both sides are like halberds and swords, which pierce the sky. The mountains are dense, and the figure of the rebel Sentry can be seen at any time.

Ahead is Zuojin valley.

The rebels knew that a small amount of harassment could not slow down the advance speed of Chen Hai's headquarters at all, so they officially organized troops to kill out of the deep mountains on both wings, rushed to Chen Hai and occupied Zuojin Valley in front of them. At this time, they had deployed their troops by taking advantage of the dangerous terrain at the mouth of the valley at the south end to prevent Chen Hai and them from entering Zuojin valley.

Chen Hai led the first and second World War battalions to reorganize their formation on a grass slope outside Zuojin Valley, seize the time to chew preserved meat, and each person also took an additional essence pill to replenish qi and blood.

Passing through Zuojin Valley is the largest mountain dam basin in the deep mountains at the north foot of Qintong mountain.

Officially, the basin is called Tongbei mountain. Although there are mountains everywhere in the basin, compared with the surrounding mountains, there are 300 miles of Tongbei mountain. The terrain is much more gentle, with rivers and lakes, warm and humid climate, which is also conducive to farming and nourishing people.

Qintong mountain is also the most prosperous in the north of Tongbei, with dense villages. Dayan sets up Tongbei Prefecture here, with 17 counties under it. It is full of the nuisance of bandits and bandits all year round, and the local armed forces and clan and township brave forces are also relatively strong.

Wei Yuqi dares to lead an isolated army to directly insert here. He also knows that in Tongbei Prefecture, he can not only obtain food and grass supplies, but also enlist local armed equipment and people's courage to fight with the army.

No matter how strong the momentum of the refugee rebels is, it is impossible to capture all 17 counties in the north of Tongbei in such a short time.

Chen Hai is determined to lead his troops to capture Zuojin valley. A big factor is that he also values the potential of Tongbei mansion in the north of Zuojin valley.

They occupy Zuojin Valley and control the pass in and out of Tongbei Prefecture. After receiving the defeat of the disabled soldiers of the Xiyuan army, they further integrate the military readiness of the prefecture and county and the courage of the villagers. In a short time, they may form a confrontation with the rebels. If time delays, the situation will inevitably tilt towards them.

If they are blocked outside Tongbei mansion, the rebels will not only eat all the 50000 main forces of Xiyuan army, but also conquer a county in Tongbei mansion, and the strength of the rebels will be enhanced by one point.

There are millions of exile rebels. It is true that they are still mobs at this time, but they continue to experience the tempering of cruel wars and can get sufficient supplies in Tongbei mansion for rest, so that more elite members of Chimei sect can better integrate into the rebels. It may only take three or five months for this rebel to become elite, It will become an intractable problem in the heart of Dayan empire.

At this time, Wei Yuqi led the main force of the Xiyuan army, which had passed through Tongbei mansion and entered the mountains in the north to pursue the main force of the rebels. Even so, Chen Hai's headquarters was only 400 miles away from the main force of the Xiyuan army.

Surrounded by sun Buhui, Mannu tiekun and others, Chen Hai drove his horse forward and galloped up a mountain ridge. He saw that the valley mouth at the south end of Zuojin valley was less than a thousand steps wide, and the mountains on both sides were thousands of feet high. There were high cliffs locked to the valley mouth, like a natural portal standing at the south end of Tongbei mansion.

At this time, not only did twenty or thirty thousand rebels pile up their soldiers in the narrow valley mouth and set up a lot of obstacles, but there were also people on the high cliffs on both sides of the mountains inclined to the valley mouth.

Fan Cheng led the vanguard to the front of Zuojin valley. He tried to lead his troops to directly attack the rebels at the mouth of the valley, but before he got close to the mouth of the valley, there were falling stones and wood on the high banks of dangerous mountains on both sides. The momentum was like thunder, and he was forced to retreat back. At this time, he guarded the periphery of the gorge to guard against the enemy.

"Chen Duwei, the rebels seem to pay special attention to us!"

Surrounded by several guards, Fan Cheng galloped up the ridge to meet Chen Hai, pointing to the gorge a few miles away.

Chen Hai was silent. According to the truth, the rebels should put them in their "pockets" in order to catch all the main forces of the Xiyuan army, rather than expose their traces. Such a hasty deployment of troops should keep them out of Zuojin valley.

The biggest possibility is that the rebels have realized that their army is "unusual".

How is this possible?

More than 10000 soldiers of the seventh capital have been closed to fujiaoling for training for more than half a year. Even other soldiers of the Xiyuan army who practice in Xiyuan will never think that the combat power of the seventh capital can be better than them. Why do the rebels pay special attention to them?

Seeing Chen Hai lost in thought, Fan Cheng asked, "what are we going to do next?"

Fan Cheng saw that Chen Hai led only two thousand troops of the first and second World War battalions to the gap first. He hoped to take a temporary rest on the relatively flat slope outside the gap. When the elite of the Ninth World War battalions pushed forward to the gap, he would launch a resolute offensive against the rebels.

The seventh army moved rapidly northward. The Ninth World War battalion formed a long dragon on the 30 mile long gorge road. At the same time, it also had to guard against arrows and stones from the mountains on both sides, and the formation was a little loose.

At this time, Chen Haicai led the two battalions to form an array at the mouth of the valley, but they didn't slow down. According to the truth, after the 10000 fierce soldiers in the seventh capital entered the gentle slope to rectify the formation, they would consider attacking more safely, but the spirit birds flying into the blue sky can see that in the mountains on both wings, a large number of bandits wrapped in black scarves quickly gathered at the mouth of Zuojin valley.

Obviously, the rebels did not expect that their advance speed would be so fast. They are seizing every minute and every second to gather troops in Zuojin valley--

"You will lead your troops to attack Xiling at this time."

Chen Hai can't wait for Zhao Rong and Tu Ziji to come from behind to join him. Now even if it takes an hour, the war situation will change differently. Moreover, when the rebels gather completely from the two flanks, even if they can capture Zuojin Valley, they will have to pay a high price. At that time, they may lose the significance of occupying Zuojin valley.

He doesn't know why the rebels attach great importance to them, and how the rebels know the details of the seventh will die, but he can be sure of one thing, that is, the rebels' response in Zuo Jingu is also very hasty at this time, and he still has the opportunity to fight quickly.

Chen Hai directly ordered Fan Cheng to lead the elite Hu soldiers of fan nationality to attack from the relatively gentle Xiling on the left.

There is a high cliff in that mountain, which is close to the mouth of the valley, like a giant tiger opening its mouth to swallow heaven's blood. It wants to devour the people and animals entering Zuojin Valley mercilessly.

At this time, one or two thousand rebels crowded their soldiers on the high cliff. Throwing stones and trees can directly threaten the soldiers and horses attacking gukou. Chen Hai asked Fan Cheng to lead the more than 1000 rebels to defeat
