In June of the 409th year of the Dynasty Calendar, after the Qinghe army broke through the city of Guiyifu, they surrounded the provincial capital with non-stop heavy troops.
Zhou Wen, governor of Qinghe Province, was defeated and killed early on, and even the only garrison force in the same province was wiped out.
When the more than 100,000 Qinghe Army commanded by Marshal Zhang Dayuan surrounded the provincial capital, there were only more than 10,000 garrison troops temporarily recruited in the capital city.
Facing the powerful Qinghe army, the provincial capital was actively preparing for the war on the one hand, and on the other hand urgently asked the capital for reinforcements.
The army of the Far Eastern Dynasty consisted of three parts, the most elite of which were the various units of the Central Army directly under the General's Mansion and the border guards in the border areas.
The weaker combat power is the provincial garrison troops directly under the jurisdiction of the governors of the provinces, which are mainly responsible for combat tasks such as suppressing bandits and mobs in the provinces.
?The local garrison troops directly under the jurisdiction of each prefecture and county have the least number of troops and the weakest strength. They mainly maintain local law and order, and their combat effectiveness is not strong.
Now the garrison force with the strongest combat effectiveness in Qinghe Province has been wiped out, and the local garrison with weaker combat effectiveness is currently in charge of the defense of the provincial capital.
Although the combat effectiveness of the local garrison was weak, they had to bite the bullet and go to the city to fight in the face of the menacing Qinghe army.
?There are more than 10,000 garrison troops to guard the huge provincial capital, and the strength is stretched.
After the provincial Governor Zhou Wen died in battle, Inspector Yang Fang became the No. 2 figure in the entire province, and now temporarily concurrently serves as the highest military and political officer of the province.
The Far Eastern Dynasty implemented the system of integrating local military and political officials. The governor is in charge of the military and political affairs of the province, the admiral is in charge of the military and political power of a government, and the county magistrate is in charge of the military and political affairs of a county.
Although the military and political powers at all levels are the same person, there are also supervisors dispatched by the imperial court at all levels to control the military and political officials at all levels.
These inspectors were appointed by the Central Committee of the Far Eastern Dynasty and had the right to supervise. They were number two figures in institutions at all levels and could take over the military and political power when the military and political chiefs were unable to perform their duties.
The provincial inspector has a high position and authority, second only to the governor of the province, and he is free and easy on weekdays, after all, he has little authority.
But now the inspector of Qinghe Province is like an ant on a hot pot, a little restless.
On the city tower of the provincial capital, a group of generals surrounded Yang Fang, the inspector. When they saw the Qinghe army surrounded by banners and banners outside the city, their faces were extremely solemn.
"Master Inspector, the bandit army is very powerful. Our strength is stretched and our armaments are insufficient. I am afraid that the capital cannot be defended. We should make plans early."
A general looked timidly at the endless Qinghe troops outside the city.
"That's right, Master Inspector, the Black Cavalry Army is no match for these bandits, and now our garrison is no match. We should have made plans earlier."
"Let's break out of the siege before the bandits have finished encircling the capital."
"Master Inspector, as the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. We need to preserve our strength."
The officials of these provincial capitals were afraid of the mighty strength of the Qinghe army outside the city, and they were all trying to persuade the inspector Yang Fang to retreat.
Hearing what these officials said, the supervisor, who was already in a bad mood, made Yang's face even more gloomy and terrifying.
"Come here!"
"What are your orders, sir?"
Several murderous guards stepped forward.
"The few of them have shaken the morale of the army, so they will be pulled down and beheaded!" Yang Fang sternly said.
"No!"
Although these few people were important officials in the province, these guards went forward to arrest them regardless of their identities.
These officials panicked when they saw that the inspector Yang Fang was going to kill them if they disagreed, and hurriedly begged for mercy.
But Yang Fang didn't want to spare them at all, waved his hand, and the guards dragged them down directly.
Soon, there were a few screams from a distance, and these important officials who were usually important in the province were decapitated.
?The rest of the officials and generals were as quiet as a cicada when they saw the supervisory envoy Yang Fang's methods being so ruthless, and they didn't dare to breathe out.
"Everyone, we eat the king's salary, and we should share the worries for the king. Now that the bandit army is attacking the capital of our province, we should unite as one, defend the bandit army together, and serve the imperial court. The few of them will end up!"
Supervisor?Make Yang Fang point to the bloody heads brought over by the guards, and warn the officials and generals.
"Everything is strictly obeyed by the supervisor, and I dare not neglect it."
These officials were also intimidated by the means of supervisor Yang Fang, so naturally they did not dare to disobey.
"That's very good. Go back, everyone, and perform your duties. After repelling the bandit army, I will ask the court for your credit."
After Yang Fang waved his hand, all the officials retired one after another, leaving only two generals and battalion generals.
"Strictly monitor the officials in the city, those who shake the morale of the army, and those who escape out of the city without authorization, will be killed without mercy!"
Yang Fang gave instructions to a battalion general with a calm face.
"No!"
After the battalion general of the garrison stood up and paid a military salute, he turned around and strode away.
"You are divided into four gates, waiting for help! Those who retreat without authorization will be killed without mercy!"
"No!"
The generals and battalion generals also left one after another to arrange defensive military affairs.
It wasn't until these officials and generals left that Yang Fang, the inspector who had been acting tough all the time, supported the battlements with his hands, and a look of fatigue appeared on his face.
"Has the messenger for help set off?" Yang Fang asked the hundred-member general next to him.
The hundred generals replied: "My lord, we have sent four waves of messengers for help."
"Redispatch¡ª"
Yang Fang gritted his teeth.
"No!"
? When the provincial capital was filled with terror and shrouded in a dull and oppressive atmosphere, a high-level military meeting was being held in the Qinghe Army's central military camp outside the city.
In addition to the three commanders, a large group of lieutenants, generals and battalion generals of the Qinghe Army attended the military meeting, including Chen Ziang.
The three commanders saw the rapid growth of their Qinghe army, and the number of fierce generals under their command, they were also in a very good mood, with smiles on their faces.
"Who wants to be the vanguard in this battle?"
Marshal Zhang Dayuan looked around the high-spirited generals and asked with a smile.
As soon as the words of Marshal Zhang Dayuan fell, the generals stepped forward one after another, clasping their fists and asking for a fight.
"Marshal, I am willing to lead my troops to attack the city, and I can capture the capital within two days!" A general stood up first.
"Hmph, I only need one day to conquer the capital!"
A lieutenant let out a cold snort, and stood up not to be outdone.
"Commander, I dare to issue a military order. If the capital cannot be captured on time, the general will come to see you!"
These generals are all powerful fighters who fought on the battlefield. In order to compete for this opportunity, they quickly quarreled and became red-faced.
They were in full swing all the way. At this moment, the peak of soldiers was in full swing. Whoever could take the lead in breaking through the provincial capital would be a great achievement. These generals were not fools, so naturally they were unwilling to give up the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
