Valley Emperor

As the most important part of the Hetao strategy, the construction of the Hetao defense line is also the focus of the Ninth Army and even the Sixth Army.

The Hetao line of defense started from Youwei County under Datong Prefecture, passed the former Ming Yulin Wei site, the Zhenluwei site, Chi'er Mountain, Yunnei, Junzijin, and finally arrived at Dongsheng City.

The overall direction is not a straight line. Although the overall direction is west, it is first to the northwest, then slightly to the southwest, and then slightly to the northwest. The first half is roughly along the Hun River, and the middle is straight into the Yellow River. After reaching the Yellow River, Follow the Yellow River to Dongsheng City.

Along such a line, in the past few months, the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty has successively built 14 cities of different sizes, of which the most important city is naturally the westernmost Dongsheng City.

Next are the two more important cities, Yulin City and Zhenlu City.

These three cities are basically garrisoned with heavy troops. Needless to say, Dongsheng City is relatively large in scale, while Yulin City and Zhenlu City are also more important. Although the time is limited and the scale of the reconstructed cities is not large, the garrison is not enough. Few, basically maintained a garrison of more than 3,000 people.

These cities are located in dangerous places and are important strongholds of the Hetao line of defense. Naturally, the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty is also strictly guarding it. If the Tartars are confident they will be defeated, they will have attacked before. It is very difficult for cities to be heavily guarded, so when they cut off supply lines, they often choose to go to those cities that are also more important in geographical locations, but there are no heavily guarded cities.

Unfortunately, Nanlinbao belongs to such a city.

Nanlinbao is located just to the west of Yulin City, east of Zhenlu City, between the two cities, and although the terrain is not so dangerous, a canyon area was specially chosen when the city was built.

As long as it can be conquered, it is enough to cut off the connection between Yulin and Zhenlu City. It is not important to cut off the connection between the two cities. What is important is that the entire supply line can be completely cut off.

To cut off the supply line, it is not necessary to conquer important cities such as Yulin City and Zhenlu City. This more than 100 kilometers long Hetao defense line, if you cut off any point, you can cut off this line of defense.

The 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty was also aware of this problem, so it also opened up other supply lines, especially the most important Yellow River supply line, which was used to supply troops that went deep into the grasslands.

However, the Yellow River will freeze in winter, and it is destined to not be able to rely too much on river transportation, so they plan to open supply lines from other places, but in some places the mountain road goes south, and it is difficult to carry out large-scale supply through the 6th transportation, especially the current Datang 6th Army The large-scale use of four-wheeled carriages has relatively high requirements on road conditions.

Therefore, the flat 6-yun supply line from Youwei County to Yulin City, then to Zhenlu City and then to Dongsheng City is still an unobtainable supply line.

Otherwise, the two sides would not have repeatedly competed for several months around this supply line.

If the big city could not be beaten, the Tatars chose to fight the small city. According to the logic, among the fourteen cities, except Dongsheng City, Yulin City, and Zhenlu City, which belong to the big cities, the other eleven cities are similar. They all choose to build in key places with certain defensive capabilities, and the scales are similar.

But South Limburg is very unlucky. Every time the Tatars want to cut off the supply line on a large scale, they will attack this city. Naturally, they do not know that the first time they attacked here, it is purely because of coincidence. As for choosing here for the second time or even four times in a row, it is because I have come to attack a lot, I am very familiar with the surrounding terrain, and even have a good understanding of the internal structure and facilities of Nanlincheng. .

If it was another place, this person is not familiar with the place, who knows if he will be ambushed in the name of the name.

As for military operations, when the interests are similar, it is natural to give priority to grasping the bigger ones and the smaller risks.

Nanlinbao is a priority attack target of the Tatars most of the time. Every time the Tatars come to attack, they are very attentive. , The Tatars also know that they can't beat it, so they have never sent such a small number of troops.

In the face of every heavy attack by the Tatars, it would be **** if Nan Limburg could hold on.

It was conquered, then counterattacked, then conquered, and then counterattacked. This has been back and forth three times. It is normal for such repeated battles to cause heavy casualties on both sides.

The above is also paying more and more attention to this place, and continues to increase troops here. So far, the garrison in Nanlinbao has 1,500 people. In the fourteen cities outside the sun, it can be regarded as the second largest permanent force in the city. Dongsheng City, Yulin City, and Zhenlu City are three cities.

Moreover, they have nine artillery pieces to help them, and a lot of grenades. The defensive force is stronger than the previous three defensive operations.

According to Pan Deyue's own estimation, with the strength of the 1,500 men under his command, plus nine artillery pieces and a large number of grenades, in defensive operations, he can resist the attack of 10,000 Tatars for at least half a day and a half. Yue's, he fought better, and he could even block the attack of 15,000 people.

In ten days and a half months, friendly troops came to the rescue!

With 1,500 troops in hand, as well as nine artillery pieces and many grenades to help out, Pan Deyue felt that he could avoid the unfortunate fate of his predecessors, but what he didn't expect was that this Tartar really competed with Nanlinbao. Now, more troops are coming than ever before!

Ma Dan, the Tatar cavalry that came this time is about 30,000, and the visual estimate is almost 40,000. They are so mighty that they almost block the world.

This force is more than the Tatars who came three times before combined!

If this can be defended, Pan Deyue thinks it must be a hell!

His ex was unlucky enough, but he didn't expect him to be even more unlucky!

At this moment, Pan Deyue felt a little regretful. If he had known, he would have postponed this position, even if he would rather not be promoted.

But my head was a little hot. When I heard that I was going to be promoted to major, I also served as the commander of a city. The actual power was greater than those of ordinary infantry battalion majors and battalion commanders, and there were more soldiers in their hands. was left behind by him.

He didn't even think about it. Nanlincheng had a garrison of 1,500 troops and nine artillery pieces. These troops belonged to half of the standard reinforced battalion. If they were placed in some specific places, they could be called regiments. A lieutenant colonel or even a colonel.

He was a newly promoted major, so that Mao could become the commander of the 1,500-strong garrison in South Limburg?

Because no one competes with him...

To join the army, it is right to be loyal to the emperor and sacrifice for the empire, but the ghost place in Nanlinbao is really too evil, and it is not a particularly important place, but the Tartars always choose heavy troops every time. Most of the soldiers who came to attack and performed their tasks here, whether they were ordinary soldiers, officers, or even the highest commander, did not end well, and even had few chances of being injured. Many were killed by the Tartars after the city was broken.

Therefore, many school-level officers who know the inside story are reluctant to go to work in South Limburg. They would rather **** supplies in the wilderness and confront the Tatar cavalry, rather than go to South Limburg to be besieged and wait. die.

But Pan Deyue, who just got up from the lieutenant, didn't know. By the time he knew it, it was too late. He had already agreed, and the appointment letter was already in his hand.

At this time, even if you know the inside story of the matter, there is nothing you can do. The military law is like a mountain, and this has taken over as the commander of Nanlinbao. Do you dare to go? Immediately to military court.

Due to the separation of the military and the government, nowadays the military also handles the violation of laws and disciplines on its own, so a military court has also been set up. The soldiers who have been in the military court in recent years have basically no good end. Those who have been sentenced to looting and genocide are all many.

Naturally, Pan Deyue didn't want to go to the military court, so he tried his best to persuade the superiors to add more troops, 1,500 troops, and reinforced artillery.

But, of course they do not!

Pan Deyue's more than 1,000 troops were defeated in the face of the attack of nearly 40,000 troops under the direct command of Alta Khan!

There is no way, although there are fortress defenses and artillery to help, and Pan Deyue has carefully arranged various defensive tactics, but Alta Khan doesn't play any tactics with Pan Deyue at all. I started to climb the wall and climb the city. The city wall of this earthen city is only a few meters high. People can trust anyone and they can jump on the city wall with a single jump.

This is a fart!

More than 40,000 people rushed up like a tide, and the more than 1,000 soldiers guarding the city could not stop them even with three heads and six arms!

When the city head fell, Pan Deyue wanted to imitate the commander of the second and third Nan Limburg and committed suicide on the spot.

The two predecessors in front are so dead!

With the entire army annihilated, as the supreme commander, how could he have the face to escape and survive, even if he escaped, he would inevitably have to go to a military court in the end!

reason?

All of your subordinates died in battle, but one of your top commanders escaped and didn't shoot you. How could the soldiers who died in the war be convinced? How can the still alive Tang soldiers be convinced?

But he was persuaded by his subordinates!

This is not to say that Pan Deyue was afraid of death and did not dare to commit suicide, but this time they were defeated a bit quickly, say it was a day, but the Tatars had to prepare to attack the city for most of the day, and the real attack time took half an hour. not.

Therefore, there were not many casualties among the soldiers defending the city, and most of them were withdrawn from the city wall and returned to the north side.

If Pan Deyue was the one who gave up the idea of ​​suicide, and then withdrew to the warehouse in the inner city with his subordinates, ready to come to a dead guard!

This was built after he took over Nanlinbao. It used a lot of cement, so it was so strong that even an ordinary nine-pound artillery wouldn't collapse.

The original armory was built too close to the outside, and it was already destroyed by the war, so it was rebuilt to store ammunition and food. By the way, a small well was dug, which can be regarded as Nanlinbao. One of the strongest fortresses.

It's a pity that this warehouse is not big. The original design can only accommodate a hundred people to fight. Now the remaining 700 people are hiding in it, and the troops cannot be deployed.

But in this way, because the place is small, it is easier to defend, and due to terrain restrictions, it is impossible for these Tatars to launch too many troops to attack, they can only send people in from the entrance, and the entrance is small, one time Dozens of sexists had to block the entrance when they came in.

After the Tatars attacked several times and failed, UU reading www.uukanshu.com instead killed and injured hundreds of people, so they simply left a thousand people garrisoned outside the entrance and didn't care. People can't turn the tide.

Today's Altan Khan, how can he consume troops in this broken warehouse?

He is still waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Tang Dynasty!

He wants to fight to the death with the Southern Tang Manzi here!

Well, these huge Tumochuan and Hetao belong to their Tatars!

Defeat, everything is over!
