King Run's fleet was scattered, and only a few ships crossed the mouth of the lake. Youteng had already reached Hengjiang,
"What, a hundred thousand troops and nearly a hundred warships were defeated in an instant and are about to land now?"
"General, this Xu Hanwen is extremely cunning. He pretended that the catapults could not attack the ships, and tempted King Run to lead his fleet into the mouth of the lake. As a result, he was ambushed and suffered heavy losses."
Baili Kuangsha looked at the battlefield. The black-armored Taishan army became more and more brave as they fought. Their armor's defensive power was amazing. The shield soldiers and archers cooperated tacitly. It was difficult for the swords of the Annan soldiers to hit them. Every minute and every second, they could
I heard the screams of Annan soldiers before they died. If the fighting continues like this, the soldiers will be consumed.
"Mingjin withdraws troops"
The deafening bells pierced the noisy battlefield. When the Annan soldiers heard that it was their own order to retreat, they panicked.
"Your Highness, Baili Kuangsha has retreated."
"Bite him and order the troops to attack. Don't let him escape again. Remember when the troops attack, they shout: Those who surrender will avoid death."
"Follow your orders"
The four thousand cavalry that had just been formed were immediately ready to attack, attacking like a mountain torrent.
“The time has come for a successful inspection”
After hearing Ming Jin's order to retreat, the Annan soldiers quickly left the battlefield as if they were retreating from the imperial court. Suddenly, the defense line was in chaos, their morale plummeted, they had completely lost their combat effectiveness, and collapsed like a landslide. The soldiers were just scrambling to escape, colliding and trampling each other.
Countless people were killed and injured,
"Their front line is in chaos and the soldiers are trying to escape"
At this time, Yuan Tong led four thousand cavalry who had been waiting for a long time. The prince gave an order
The army rushed out, with dull shouts of killing and short roars that made the mountains and rivers tremble. They attacked the retreating soldiers and shouted, "Those who surrender will be spared death." Some soldiers who had surrendered saw Jiangshan soldiers and chased them, shouting to surrender.
The soldiers of Annan State immediately dropped their weapons and raised their hands to surrender. The first one was followed by the second one. Surrender spread quickly like a plague. In less than a while, tens of thousands of people surrendered.
Wherever the Xuzhou Army passed, it was like entering uninhabited territory. Hanwen also led the remaining one thousand Taishan Army cavalry to pursue and kill them, which greatly boosted the morale of the Taishan Army. As soon as the Taishan Army came out, they were like tigers and rabbits.
More and more people surrendered. The 50,000-strong army was defeated by hundreds of miles of wild sand, with countless casualties. When they fled outside Hengjiang City, there were less than 20,000 people, and nearly 40,000 troops were chasing the enemy like a tide.
You Teng watched Baili Kuangsha retreat in embarrassment. He did not unload the supplies, and led 13 warships and 8,000 men to leave the port quickly and head north to Chaoxian County.
"General Baili, what should we do? If we enter the city, Xu Hanwen will take the opportunity to capture Hengjiang City, and we will be caught in a trap."
"Order not to enter the city, retreat north, and let Hu Yuan guard Chao County."
"Order the troops to go north to Chaoxian County and defend on the hillside after passing the intersection."
"Follow your orders"
Hundreds of miles of wild sand, not long after leaving, the eight thousand soldiers in Hengjiang City were in panic. Looking at the huge crowds of people under the city, Jiangshan's army was no longer able to resist.
"Hanwen shouted, those who surrender will be spared death. I promise Hanwen to guarantee everyone's safety and let you go home safely."
"Dacheng, let the prisoners speak"
Thousands of people who had just surrendered stood under the city gate and shouted, "Brothers of Annan Kingdom, surrender, Prince Zhenbei will not harm us. You also saw the soldiers who were released a few days ago.
They treat prisoners like their own brothers. Stop making fearless sacrifices. Baili Kuangsha doesn’t care about our life or death at all.”
When one man dropped his weapons, and one after another, the eight thousand defenders surrendered without a fight. The battle was a complete victory, and the miracle of defeating more with less was once again created.
At the foot of Hefei City, Nangong Wentian personally led the army to attack continuously. Soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. There were heavy casualties. There were less than 5,000 soldiers alive. On top of the city tower, there were corpses lying on the ground, layer by layer, with blood flowing like water. The city walls were dyed red, and the stones that had not been cleaned emitted a thick smell of blood and sweat, filling the air with a pungent and unpleasant smell.
The enemy has stormed the city wall,
Yuan Zhicheng led the remaining remnants to counterattack, and the people also took out their hoes and climbed onto the city wall. The people had no combat experience and suffered heavy casualties. This was because they were trying to block the enemy's steps.
The setting sun was like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured down on the city tower. The city gate was breached, and the enemy troops swarmed in. At this moment, a deafening horn sounded from the northeast, and a high, mountain-white, snow-red flag with a red bottom was heard. , fluttering in the wind
The eye-catching banner with the word "XU" next to it,
"The Taishan Army is coming, the King of Zhenbei is coming"
"Everyone rushes to me. Qin Ying leads the remaining eight thousand cavalry and attacks immediately."
"kill"
"The enemy reinforcements from the Zhu Kingdom have arrived. The Taishan Army has 50,000 people, and the Jingzhou Army will arrive in half a day."
"It's time to retreat. Presumably by this time, General Sun Du has captured Jingzhou City."
"Order the troops to retreat to Lujiang City on the west side of Chaohu Lake. King Run has led an army of 60,000 to capture the three cities of Lujiang, Shiting and Huangzhou to the west of Chaohu Lake."
"The Zhu State is wise. Although we lost troops and generals in Hefei, we captured Jingzhou. Jingzhou has a large population, is close to the two lakes, and the land is also very fertile. It is said that there is no shortage of soldiers and no shortage of food. With it, we can control the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and protect the southern country."
"Let's go together with His Highness King Run to station in Jingzhou and seize Jiangxia."
"Follow your orders"
"Command the troops, withdraw the troops with gold, let Yuan Hong block the opponent's cavalry offensive, and then block the opponent at Qianshan,"
"Follow your orders"
The golden feather messenger once again rode in Chang'an, calling loudly,
"Great victory at Chaohu, killed nearly 40,000 people, captured 30,000 people, and recovered Hengjiang City"
When the people heard about it, they were overjoyed. In the past three months, there had been three great victories, and the Prince of Zhenbei had been rumored to be a god in the hearts of the people.
Chang'an Imperial Palace,
Suddenly, the Minister of War and the King of Zhennan received news from Jingzhou that Sun Du, the general of the Annan Kingdom, led 50,000 elite troops to raid the city of Jingzhou. There were more than 20,000 people in Jingzhou, and it was feared that there would be more disaster than good.
"I didn't expect that Annan State would mobilize almost all the troops of the whole country, attack in three directions, and suspect soldiers in two directions. Nangong Wentian, what a good method."
"Your Majesty, I, Yuwen Pingcheng, was careless and mobilized the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, and fell into Nangong Wentian's plan of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. I hope your Majesty will punish you.
"Ai Qing is also worried about the country. Now we can only hope that the Shu soldiers will arrive as soon as possible to reinforce Jingzhou, or that the battle of Hefei will end quickly so that we can free up our troops to regain Jingzhou."
"How is the battle in Hefei going now?"
"The Ministry of War received news that Nangong Wentian led a large army to besiege Hefei City on June 23. Seeing that the army was about to break through the city gate, General Zhu Gui of Xuzhou led 12,000 cavalry to attack the enemy's center. The enemy army was in chaos and led all their troops to besiege General Zhu Gui. At this time, Qin Ying of the Taishan Army, who was hiding in the dark, led his army to Huanglong and attacked the enemy's grain and grass camp. A fire burned Nangong Wentian's grain and grass camp. There were heavy casualties and the enemy offensive was repulsed.”
"good"
"His Majesty's staff received news that on the 24th, the loyal Marquis Xu Hanwen used five thousand people and one person in exchange for two of his disciples."
"What, ten thousand people can be exchanged for two disciples?"
"To be precise, there are 13,000 people."
"Bastard, who is so valuable? That's 13,000 people. How much damage will they cause to the country?"
"The Wei minister Liu Zhongyuan also wanted to join the Zhongyi Houben. This is undoubtedly treason and collaboration with the enemy. In vain, he allowed the enemy to increase his troops by more than 10,000 people. The Wei minister also received news that Xu Hanwen killed the county magistrate of Black Rock City and occupied Black Rock City.
He is not really seeking the welfare of the people. On the contrary, he secretly mines iron ore, makes weapons, and at the same time overhauls water conservancy, wasting people and money."
"Asshole, he secretly mines iron ore and makes weapons. Does he want to rebel?"
"Your Majesty, you must not listen to people's nonsense. You are loyal and loyal to serve the country. How can you rebel?"
"When someone comes, they will be sent immediately to deliver the edict and announce their loyalty and righteousness. Xu Hanwen will come to Beijing to meet the saint."
At this moment, a word broke the tense situation in the court.
