Chapter 440 The First General of the Northern Han Dynasty
"Brothers, go south! Go south! We can't let General Zhu take all the credit, can we? We also have to make military exploits ourselves. I don't want to end up in Quzhou doing the job of looking after prisoners!"
Xie Shuyan was driven by the excitement in his heart, and as he howled with excitement in his heart, the morale of the 30,000 soldiers going south instantly rose to the daily limit!
Amid the cheers and howls of all the people, an army with a morale of 100 set foot on the right path southward with blood gushing all over its body. At this moment, they were fearless; at this moment, they dared to challenge God!
The hot weather at Desheng Gate stirred up the heat in the entire city of Beiping. Yu Ziliang, who returned home from Desheng Gate in Yibei Hou Mansion, gave an order and the entire Hou Mansion was decorated with lights. Those who didn't know it thought it was a happy event!
As for the people in the streets and alleys of Beiping City, firecrackers were going off non-stop, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city cheered, making it even more lively than the Spring Festival.
Even the royal palace has the red color, the armor of the powerful, and the rich and noble families. Compared with the Yibei Marquis Mansion, it is not just one or two places that are lively, but all in the city!
At this moment, Zhu Biao simply became the most lovable person in everyone's eyes.
No matter high or low, no matter men, women, old or young. In the minds of all the people, he is a god who protects the country of the Northern Han Dynasty! The invincible God of War!
But no one knew that Zhu Biao, who was far away in Dongjiang County, was angrily cursing Ji Fa because of the true image he had just discovered among the prisoners.
"The king of the Tang Dynasty is dirty, dirty...cough, cough, cough..." Xu Xun did not hurt the internal organs, only touched the inner cavity. After pulling out the arrow, he disinfected the wound with strong alcohol and used the gold wound given by Zhu Biao.
Medicine, so even in the middle of summer, there was no inflammation. And as long as there was no inflammation, the wound would not be life-threatening!
After a few days of training, I can walk normally and even help with things.
But now I was so angry that I was shaking with anger. I was so angry that I wanted to curse at the sky and the earth. As a result, I touched my inner cavity and started coughing profusely.
"Master Xu, please calm down for now, we are not as knowledgeable as that villain!"
Seeing that Xu Xian was angry, Zhu Biao didn't care about being angry and hurriedly comforted him. But looking at his face now, one should know that he, like Xu Xian, wanted to spit on Ji Fa's face.
Look what the hell that guy did?
The majestic prince of the Celestial Dynasty sent 40,000 horses and vests to fight. This is simply unbelievable!
Zhou soldiers accounted for the majority of the more than 4,000 captured cavalry. In the battle that day, Yan Wei was beheaded, more than 5,000 Zhou army cavalry were killed and captured, and at most six or seven hundred people escaped.
The Zhongshan cavalry that rushed eastward outside Dongjiang City was less than a fraction of the 12,000 cavalry. With Zhu Biao's smiling casualties in this battle, this was another complete victory.
His character's level has suddenly jumped two levels, to level 94, and he has accumulated a lot of experience. Killing the children of the Luo family, Luo Longguang himself, and Yan Wei and other generals, the gold has returned to four digits, and
It broke through the 1500 mark in one fell swoop.
Luo Longguang himself made a huge contribution!
There are currently more than 35,000 prisoners in a Dongjiang County city. As the screening work begins, Zhou soldiers and Zhongshan soldiers are immediately separated. One of the most obvious points is that the Zhou army's cavalry
Although the armor looks the same as that of the Zhongshan Cavalry, the armor is all made of fine iron and is much stronger in defense. Its horses are also much stronger than those of the Zhongshan Cavalry.
This information was immediately reported to Zhu Biao, who was so angry that his face turned blue.
Ji Fa is such a toy! Is the Northern Han really easy to bully?!
Naturally, an urgent report was immediately sent to Peiping. Before the imperial court made a conclusion on the matter, Zhu Biao's entire county could not even reveal the "true face" of the Zhou Dynasty. How could he not feel aggrieved!
Yan Wei's battle plan was also submitted a little later, and Zhu Biao scanned it and it turned out to be pretty much what he expected.
It’s just that this guy never expected that less than 5,000 Han cavalry would kill 6,000 Zhongshan cavalry so miserably. When they ran to Beigao Town, only a thousand cavalry were left. And during the battle outside the east gate of Dongjiang City, they fled eastward.
The group of cavalry was also deliberately used by Yan Wei to confuse Zhu Biao's sight. Zhu Biao, the provincial governor, was suspicious of the Zhongshan cavalry's "fearless" escape to the north.
This is simply typical - knowing yourself but not knowing the enemy.
He overestimated his own strength and underestimated the enemy's strength. Although Yan Wei also recognized the combat effectiveness of the Han cavalry, he believed that after deducting the strength of the city defenders with less than 5,000 Han cavalry, three or four thousand cavalry could defeat a properly waterproof 6,000 cavalry.
Zhongshan cavalry, but he also firmly believed that the Han cavalry after the war could never be the opponent of his more than 5,000 Zhou cavalry. This conclusion he came to after the battle of Guangyang County!
After reading the prisoners' confessions, Zhu Biao thought of the three thousand cavalry lost in the battle of Guangyang County, and couldn't help but cursed Sheng Tengfang, Luo Yaxiu and others in anger.
Seeing a thousand disgraced knights who fled back without their armor, no matter how much Gong Rui excused himself, he still had the momentum to get angry.
Then a huge "gun" sound could be heard throughout the Zhou army camp in the south of Wei County, and even the Han army on the city wall could hear it.
In Guangyang County, several high-ranking advisers and wise men also had needles in their buttocks, and some of them could not sit still.
The harm caused by Zhu Biao one after another was much more serious than previously expected. These big shots who came to Guangyang County in the name of the Zhongshan Kingdom's envoys could all feel the Han attendants in the post building looking at them in recent days.
Those weird, mocking eyes and glances.
Should Zhongshan State be allowed to send troops again?
There are hundreds of thousands in Quzhou, tens of thousands in Muzhou, Yuzhou, and Zhongshan Kingdom are all empty. Although new soldiers are being recruited, they cannot be trained in a short time.
The Zhongshan State garrison in the north of Guangyang County, such as Changrui and other counties, as well as the two battalions of soldiers and horses on the left and right flanks of Luo Longguang when he went north, quickly withdrew back to Guangyang. They merged with Ji Kun's remnant army of 15,000
Six thousand troops were stationed at the border between Guangyang and Dongjiang counties.
Can these soldiers and horses stop Zhu Biao's attack?
No! I can’t guarantee it, no one can guarantee it. Not even the cool people living in these post houses dare to say such big words. Although the Han army in Dongjiang City couldn’t be deployed after guarding a large number of prisoners.
No matter how many troops were sent to attack, no one dared to guarantee it.
If this was before the Battle of Dongjiang, it would almost be a joke-like proposition. But now, everyone has seen that the Han cavalry, led by Zhu Biao, broke out with jaw-dropping powerful combat power.
.
This is simply a power beyond imagination!
Zhu Biao has already destroyed Zhongshan with 5,000 cavalry. There are more than 60,000 cavalry in Zhou Dynasty. Who can guarantee that he will not use 2,000 cavalry or even 1,000 cavalry to destroy the border area in the next time?
Fifteen or six thousand troops?
To be honest, after the series of battles in Dongjiang County, the Zhongshan Army felt a little bit of fear and panic towards Zhu Biao.
The only people who could get there and feel at ease were Luo Longguang and Yan Wei. The two armies used too many prisoners to stop Zhu Biao from heading south.
But everyone knows that the Han infantry is already on its way south. How many days will it take them to walk six to seven hundred miles?
Five days, six days? Seven days, eight days? But no matter what, one day they will arrive. Thirty thousand infantry. This is not a powerful force, but in Zhu Biao's hands, everyone will
They were on tenterhooks, and no one dared to ignore it.
A famous general, that’s it!
How to solve this problem? Yue Hua came to consult the counselors and wise men in the post house.
"Shrink the Zhongshan Army in Yuzhou and Muzhou!"
"Be the envoy of the King of Tang. Resolutely prevent the Han army from counterattacking Zhongshan when necessary!"
"Send someone to contact outside the Great Wall quickly..."
"Zhongshan State seizes the time to form a new army, and at the same time lose a Zhou army and then enter Zhongshan State to take control!"
"Send people to Peiping to use the trump card at the critical moment..."
"Send someone to inform Gong Rui that he is preparing to withdraw from Guangyang County..."
Yue Hua walked out of the posthouse door calmly, with no joy on his face.
It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. These are the only methods these king's important ministers have come up with.
An issue that Yue Hua and the counselors and wise men in the post 'ignored' were the exposure of the fact that the Zhou army participated in the war. But it was not because they really ignored it, but because they believed that the Han court was rational...
Beiping City. Royal Palace.
Ji Yun was furious, but Gao Shouxun, Cai Jueshen, Yun Han, Yu Ziliang and other important officials tried to persuade him: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Aren't Gao, Cai and others angry that the King of Tang actually did something like this? Of course they were angry. They were as angry as Ji Yun. However, this thing is different from being exposed. If exposed, it would not be of much benefit to the Northern Han Dynasty, and it would be completely evil.
The king of Tang Dynasty.
Although the relationship between the two parties has now dropped to a freezing point, isn't Yang Haode, the Minister of Punishment, still in Youzhou? If you can't completely tear your skin apart, don't tear it apart completely.
"Mother, Queen Guri must settle this account with the King of Tang!" After returning to the harem, Ji Yun came to Yun Qin to express his anger.
Yun Qin sighed and tried to persuade his son with good words. What a child's talk. How could the little Northern Han take revenge on the King of Tang who held millions of troops in Northern Xinjiang!
Oh, forget it, don’t talk anymore, let him vent! Just verbally and verbally.
Yun Qin sighed again, it is not because the King of Han did not know the hardships of the King of Han, but only after becoming the King of Han did he know how tiring it is to govern a country.
Qingyu Mountain, Jiuqu Sword Sect.
In recent days, people from Jiang Qingyan's group have begun to cause trouble in the streets inside Shanmen. Everyone walks around with a grin on their face, fearing that they will get involved.
In the past, Jiang Qingyan and his group of people were displeased, but now they are in trouble. I asked you to live close to the rebel bandits, and asked you to climb Gao Zhi'er. Now you know the hardship, right? Now you know that you are not climbing Gao Zhi'er, but the knife.
Is it a mountain?
It's hard to get down if you go up. When Zhu Biao comes in the future, will he be gentler?
Those are lice on the bald man's head - it's obvious. He will attack as hard as he can. Who made the Jiang family have such a deep hatred against him!
At the same time, even people within the Jiuqu Sword Sect began to feel sincere admiration and respect for Zhu Biao, the abandoned disciple.
How critical was the situation in Quzhou before? Everyone saw it. But Zhu Biao's 5,000 light cavalry went south, three times and five divided by two, and more than 60,000 cavalry troops were wiped out. If such a person is not worthy of respect,
Then he is a traitor and traitor through and through!
