Nanjing Road Guide Mansion.

There were tens of thousands of defenders in the former Guide Mansion.

Later, Yuanwujia sent another 20,000 troops to guard Guide Mansion.

After Su Quandang led his army to Mangdang Mountain, Xu Fuxing, the prefect of Guide Prefecture, successively reported to Kaifeng Prefecture, requesting troops to send troops to help.

Yuanwuqi knew that Zhanbutai was about to arrive, so he sent another 50,000 elite troops to assist Guide Mansion.

Now Su Quandang is still on his way to the main city of Guide Mansion, but the 50,000 elite soldiers under Yuanwuqi have arrived at Guide Mansion.

Yuanwujia originally claimed to lead an army of 200,000 to guard Kaifeng Prefecture. Although it was a false number, there were still 150,000 soldiers under its command who could actually fight on the battlefield.

He came from the Xianglong Military Region, where he was dealing with it. The actual force was placed there, and it would not be less than that of the Song Dynasty's imperial guards. It would not be like the one who occupied Taiwan now, claiming to be 300,000 troops, but in fact, those who can fight were less than 200,000.

50,000 Xuzhou, 50,000 Kaifeng Prefecture, and 70,000 Guide Prefecture. This is the approximate distribution of the soldiers under Yuanwu Enterprise.

Fifty thousand soldiers rushed to the Lord of Guide Mansion, which made Xu Fuxing very happy.

At this moment, there were more than 70,000 soldiers gathered in Guide Mansion.

Although such troops are still far inferior to Su Quandang's Jiankang Military Region's army, there is still no problem if you have to resist a little.

Moreover, he received a secret report at this moment, Zhanbutai asked him to lead his army to fight against the Song army with a desperate attempt. He would lead a large army to annihilate Su Quandang's army.

This made Xu Fuxing even more confident and had the plan to fight hard in Guide Prefecture and the Jiankang Military Region.

afternoon.

Gushu County is more than 30 miles southeast of Songcheng, the head of Guide Prefecture.

A wolf smoke rolled up.

Tianlao and Tianhui armies set out from Qiao County, Haozhou to break into Yingcheng Town, and now they finally arrived here.

The army was approaching 20,000 people, and was getting closer and closer to Gushu County.

The light cavalry on the official road, the infantrymen were swaying, and the military flag was fluttering and flew without a trace.

As two imperial guards that were later added in the Xianglong Military Region, the Tianlao and Tianhui armies were not as elite as Tiankui and Tianxiong, but they were definitely not bad.

Every soldier in the army held his head and chest up. Whether it was a light cavalry or a infantryman, he had a look of pride and confidence in his eyes.

They were all selected from each garrison army. Although the selection conditions were much relaxed at the beginning, they were definitely the best among the garrison army.

The soldiers of the Tianlao Army were walking in front of them.

Not only are their banners different from Tianhui Army, but their armor styles are also slightly different.

The armor of the soldiers of the Tianlao Army are engraved with the word "未" and the armbands are also different. They describe the organization they belong to in detail, such as the Fifth Battalion of the Third Regiment of the Tianlao Army, etc.

Of course, the bigger difference is that the tassels of the Tianlao Army are white tassels, while the Tianhui Army is light green.

This is to distinguish the two armies to avoid chaos during joint war between the two armies.

The thirty-six imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, each of which has different colors. The same is true for the garrison troops.

The general general of the Tianlao Army was named Fang Zhenshan, and he rode a horse covered with light armor in front of the army. Next to him were all worshippers in the Tianlao Army.

Fang Zhenshan had only been in the army for five years, but his qualifications were not low. He was first an ordinary soldier, and later promoted to the position of command by killing the enemy.

Later, he made many military achievements and became the chief commander.

Of course he is not an ordinary person like this.

Speaking of which, Fang Zhenshan was also the descendant of the general, and his father Fang Wenli was the former Shaanxi Strategic Envoy of the Song Dynasty.

Fang Zhenshan was influenced by his father since he was a child and read military books. He was quite outstanding in marching and using military forces.

At this time, Gushu County was already close to him, and Fang Zhenshan had already sent a scout to inquire.

After walking further, ten cavalry hurried towards the army.

When the horse arrived in front of the army, the ten cavalry all pulled the horses together.

The Scout Shifu reported to Fang Zhenshan: "Report to the Chief, we have gone out of the city to inquire. The Yuan army in Gushu County is ready, and there are quite a few soldiers."

With a national face, Fang Zhenshan, who is about forty years old, frowned slightly, "There are not a few? Can you tell how many people are there?"

The chief of the ten men said: "The Yuan army on the top of the city is densely packed with countless military flags. I am afraid that there must be tens of thousands of people in the city if there are at least one person."

"Um!"

Fang Zhenshan nodded slightly, but his brows frowned even tighter, and then raised his hand and said, "The army will stop, take a break!"

Then he led the worshippers to the back of the army.

In Gushu County, the population may be only a few thousand, and it is impossible for tens of thousands of defenders. At this moment, Fang Zhenshan knew that it must be the Yuan army from Guide Prefecture who came here to set up defenses.

He is not sure how many Yuan army soldiers there are in Guide Prefecture, so he cannot speculate on how many Yuan army guards there are in Gushu County.

He thought of discussing with the General General of Tianhui Army first, and then making a decision. At present, Su Shuai led his army not far from Gushu. He knew that if there were large Yuan troops stationed in Gushu County, it might be much more appropriate for them to wait for Su Quandang to lead his army to attack before attacking.

Soon he arrived in front of Tianhui Army.

The Tianlao Army in front stopped, and the Tianhui Army who was following behind naturally also stopped.

The general general of Tianhui Army was named Yao Xingchao. He was older than Fang Zhenshan, and he did not come from behind the generals. He was a real veteran in the Song Dynasty.

When the small court was in the city of Juzhou, he was the general of the Palace Front Office. He was also the deputy chief of the guards in the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front Office.

This official position was already very high at that time, and was at the top of the Song generals. It was even more powerful than his current position as the general president.

Now Yao Xingchao is still the chief general of the Tianhui Army, so there is naturally a reason.

Lu Chuanyao, Jiang Cunzhong and others, who were the generals at the same time, sacrificed their lives early, and Yue Peng and Su Quandang, these rising stars rose at an extremely fast speed. Yao Xingchao was never valued because of his ability. Before he became the chief general of the Tianhui Army, he was still the vice president of the imperial guards in the palace.

This was Zhao Dongting who was granted this position because he was too old. Otherwise, more people in the army would be more capable of holding this position than him.

Fortunately, Yao Xingchao himself realized this. Although he was quite old, he had achieved great success after he woke up from Pan Ran's realization.

He participated in the imperial examinations as the vice president of the imperial guards of the palace and successfully won the imperial examination.

Seeing that he was like this, Zhao Dongting was also happy, so he transferred him to Tianhui Army as the chief general.

Although it is not a promotion, it is an affirmation of Yao Xingchao.

After Yao Xingchao took office in Tianhui Army, his performance was indeed remarkable. All the soldiers of Tianhui Army were trained very well by him.

When Tianlao and Tianhui armies captured Shouzhou, Yingzhou, Haozhou and other places before, the Tianhui army performed quite well.

Seeing Fang Zhenshan coming to his face, Yao Xingchao asked with a smile: "Lao Fang, why did you suddenly let the army rest?"

Fang Zhenshan said with a serious expression: "I have sent a scout to inquire first. There are at least tens of thousands of Yuan troops in Gushu County."

Yao Xingchao was slightly moved, "Xu Fuxing, the governor of Guide Prefecture, had sent 5,000 elite troops to Mangdang Mountain, and there should be less than 10,000 defenders in Guide Prefecture. In this way, the Yuan army from Kaifeng Prefecture must have arrived at Guide Prefecture to support it. In the mere Gushu County, they were willing to send no less than 10,000 people to guard the guard. The Yuan army from Kaifeng Prefecture to support Guide Prefecture is probably not a small number."

"yes……"

Fang Zhenshan sighed softly and said, "It's a pity that we just arrived here and don't know the specific situation in Gushu County and Guide Mansion. I came here just to discuss with you."

Yao Xingchao thought for a while and said, "Are you thinking about whether we will take the lead in attacking Gushu, or wait for Su Shuai to lead the army to arrive?"

“That’s right.”

Fang Zhenshan nodded and said, "The Yuan army is heavily guarding Gushu. If we take Gushu first, although it will save the army a lot of time, I am worried that our soldiers will be over tens of thousands of times! The soldiers gathered by Yuanwu Enterprises in Kaifeng Prefecture are all elite soldiers from the rear of the Yuan army, and they are not as easy to deal with as the defenders we used to deal with."

Yao Xingchao also nodded in thought when he heard this.

War is never an easy task, nor is it a joke. As generals in command, each of their decisions may affect the life and death of countless soldiers.
