The county has already sent flying horses to the county to ask for help, but the county captain knows that there is no hope. All the soldiers in the county can't defeat the thousands of Zhongshan troops under the city. After all, they are also from the Zhongshan Kingdom.
Regular troops wear iron armor!
At this time, thinking of his elderly parents, his first wife who has been with him for more than ten years, and his ignorant children, the county captain's heart was as sharp as a knife!
I hope the Zhongshan Army still has some humanity and won't take revenge after breaking the city!
I hope God will follow people's wishes and they can escape this disaster...
"People in the city, listen up! Open the city gate early to save you from death! Otherwise, Wenqing County will be an example for you!" The county captain was not the only one who was worried, the Zhongshan bandits outside the city were shouting loudly.
Everyone in Wenqing County and Quwo knows that the Zhongshan Army, which lost hundreds of people under Wenqing City, broke through the city and plundered the entire city's money, food and materials, and captured more than two thousand young men for hard labor.
The people in the city were driven out of the county seat and burned to the ground.
Could it be that Qu Wo also wants to follow in Wen Qing’s footsteps?
People's hearts are in panic, like a bolt from the blue!
The county captain looked at the panic-stricken militiamen who were guarding the city. The young man curled his lips coldly, people are just so realistic. The low-level Zhongshan bandits also screamed like this before, but at that time Quwo County had not yet reached the point of being exhausted.
The soldiers and civilians were all very courageous! They didn't even pay attention to the bandits' request to surrender. But now...
The city could no longer be defended, so everyone naturally became worried.
At the same time, the Zhongshan Army outside the city was not having a good time. Ever since they entered Yuzhou, they would encounter tough opponents like Wen Qing and Qu Wo from time to time. Fortunately, the Yuzhou Army was quite useless and fought repeatedly.
Defeated, the army was blocked by more than 10,000 Zhongshan troops and did not dare to come out.
As for these small groups of soldiers who split up to attack cities and plunder territory, since the example of Wenqing County, their thunderbolt methods have really frightened many people. Along the way, two counties of their group have surrendered without a fight.
The Zhongshan soldiers were full of confidence and thought that Quwo County would also surrender. However, they did not expect that the resistance was so determined. After fighting for so long and with three to four hundred casualties, Quwo County still persisted.
The leader of the Zhongshan Army, the captain of the first battalion, was very anxious. At noon, he galloped out to call for a group of soldiers and horses not far away to come and join him. At this time, it seemed that there were already 2,000 troops. Quwo County
He still resisted resolutely, and when he couldn't attack for a long time, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet and cursed his mother!
Now another attack has been repulsed. Alas, if all the soldiers in his battalion were here, they would definitely be able to attack from three sides and crush this nail in one fell swoop.
Soldiers cannot be driven continuously to attack a city because it is a fatal job. One trip is like a trip back to the gate of hell. It must be done intermittently to let the soldiers rest!
There are 1,780 people, excluding the dead and wounded, those left behind to guard the city, and those who monitor the surrounding city gates. The total number of people directly commanded by my own men is only 1,000. They can be divided into two groups to attack. One attack will not take more than three or two quarters of an hour.
, but don’t think about letting them play for a second time without taking a rest for a while. Otherwise, they will be cowardly and ineffective in their work!
The captain was distressed, and while he was thinking of ways to break the city with his hard brain, several Zhongshan Army detective horses suddenly rushed towards the captain at a galloping speed, shouting and screaming along the way.
I felt very angry. I raised my spear and wanted to kill these idiots with my spear. Is the military formation a place for horseback riding? Everyone must be in the same battalion. Everyone knows their faces. The ones in front are
The sergeant had already chopped off the horse's hoof with his sword.
"Captain, something happened, something happened. There's a fire on the other side of Jingshui!"
Across the Jingshui River?
On the other side of the Jingshui River is where the supplies troops of Xiaowei's battalion are stationed.
Start a fire?
What does it mean to light a fire? A fire breaks out in a heavy supply camp...
Things soon became clear. At the fourth watch of the next day, it started to rain lightly.
A group of Han cavalry and heavenly soldiers descended from the gods and killed them at the foot of Quwo City.
The leader directly opened up the weak camp. At the beginning, the Zhongshan Army did not even cut down a few trees. They used spare long guns tied together to make a fence to resist horses. Later, a fire broke out on the other side of Jingshui. Is there something wrong? It's getting late, how can we cut down enough trees to strengthen the camp?
The only thing he did was not to disarm and keep his troops in hand.
Zhu Biao opened the camp gate with one shot, drove his horse into the Zhongshan military camp, ran rampant, killed left and right, it was like entering an uninhabited land!
But he is not the most conspicuous one. Zhu Zhong and Zhu Tong, two generals who passed Zhu Biao during the charge, each held a thick-backed broadsword. They were unmatched wherever they went. Wherever the broadsword fell, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Invincible!
"Damn it! Where are the thieves who dare to rob my royal camp? Fight with me!" The captain's eyes were fierce, and his ferocity became even more fierce. He had already forgotten the worries just now, and carried the With a spear, he mounted his horse and led a group of soldiers to charge forward.
In the midst of the chaotic army, Zhu Zhong raised his sword and slashed several people in succession! His eyes were so bright that he suddenly stabbed a person diagonally out, and the spear came straight towards his waist and ribs!
Seeing the spear thrust towards him, with a whistling sound, I thought it was a Zhongshan general, but he didn't dodge or slash at all. He flipped the sword in his hand and swept it to kill him!
The captain's spear was piercing Zhu Zhong's waist and ribs, but when he started, he felt the point of force slipping, and the tip of the spear had actually slid past Zhu Zhong's waist and ribs. The captain was horrified, and he didn't have time to withdraw his weapon. , the big knife in Zhu Zhong’s hand was already whizzing towards him!
The captain was so horrified that he didn't even want his weapon. He let go of his spear and quickly turned sideways to the opposite side of the saddle!
It's too late, it's already too late. Zhu Zhong's sword was sharp and fierce. The blade passed by, and half of the captain's head rose into the air!
Thousands of cavalry crushed more than a thousand scattered infantrymen, how brisk and easy it was.
From beginning to end, it didn't take more than two quarters of an hour. Six to seven hundred people were beheaded on the ground, and the rest all knelt in the muddy water, threw away their weapons, took off their armor, and squatted aside with their heads in their hands.
Zhu Biao handed all the weapons and armor, including prisoners of war and tents, to the magistrate of Quwo County. He himself took more than 6,000 cavalry without even taking a nap, and rushed to the south in the rain. At Jingshui At a stone-wood bridge downstream, the three or four thousand cavalrymen who had destroyed the captain's transport camp before it rained were still waiting for Zhu Biao to rush to join them!
The Quwo County Magistrate walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, as if he were stepping on cotton. He still hasn't gotten over the floating feeling.
It’s unbelievable! Instead of waiting for the reinforcements from the county, I waited for the reinforcements from Quzhou. Oh no, I changed it to say that they were counter-rebellion troops coming south from the royal capital.
What's even more incredible is that he actually learned about the current situation in Quzhou from the general. Nearly half of the 140,000 to 50,000 enemy troops had been lost, and the remaining half, together with the rebellious Ji Kun, were tightly surrounded by Wang Shi in Guangzhou. Yangjuncheng...
He jumped from the eighteenth level of hell to the thirty-third level of heaven. The county magistrate, the arrester, and even the county lieutenant all felt like they were in a dream.
Now Quwo was saved, Yuzhou was saved, and the entire Northern Han Dynasty was saved.
When the three of them didn't know how to express their excitement, the man next to them suddenly shouted in horror: "Oh my God, look what it is? Reinforcements from the Zhongshan Bandits!"
The county magistrate was shocked. He looked up and saw a faint fire dragon coming towards the west!
The light rain also caused the torch to dim and then light up, but it was indeed a fire dragon. It was still several miles away from the county seat, and the dense firelight formed a long line, winding and circling towards Quwo. It stretched for two miles in front and back.
There are probably as many as a thousand people in the area.
The smile on the county magistrate's face condensed. He knew that these were definitely not imperial officers and soldiers. Could there be Zhongshan bandits coming?
Thinking of this, my heart was greatly hurt. What a blow this had to the soldiers and civilians of the county!
In the same instant, the county magistrate seemed to hear crying coming from the city.
"Official army! Official army!"
The mood of the soldiers and civilians in Quwo County was like being on a roller coaster. One moment it sank to the bottom, another moment it reached a high point. It was only in the middle of the night that they wandered back and forth twice.
"Oh my god, it's the officers and soldiers in the county town. Is the county town safe?" The county magistrate burst into laughter after recognizing the captain who was leading the army. This happiness came so quickly!
Let's not talk about Quwo, because Quwo County and even the county where it is located are just an inconspicuous passer-by to Zhu Biao's trip to Yuzhou. He has thousands of elite cavalry in his hands, with two horses for each man.
Is it any surprise that the entire Zhongshan Army that entered Yuzhou was wiped out within a few days? It was only an army of thirty to twenty thousand thieves.
In fact, this is what he did. It took less than four days to overthrow the Han and Zhongshan borders from the northern area of Yuzhou, and most of them were wasted on the road. Less than 30,000 Zhongshan troops entered Yuzhou.
, except for a main force under the Yuzhou Prefecture City, the remaining tens of thousands of people were divided into three groups and pushed towards the north. Zhu Biao ran back and forth for thousands of miles before he captured them all, and none of them escaped.
Therefore, it was better to save the effort of the more than 10,000 Zhongshan troops in the prefecture, and they were all wiped out at once. Then the thunderous hooves of the horses marched straight to the south, and Zhu Biao also greeted the governor of Yuzhou, asking him to wipe them out as much as possible.
Soldiers, horses, chariots and horses, go south with him to receive supplies.
Zhu Biao's planned trip to Zhongshan was more of a bandit-style house raid. From east to west, he would take away all the granaries, treasury, and royal property of the Zhongshan Kingdom. This would not only compensate the Northern Han Dynasty for
The losses suffered by the Zhongshan Army's invasion will be more beneficial to the country, and it will replenish the national treasury granary in Peiping.
The situation is unpredictable, and the situation in Beiyu is so dizzying!
================Separating line==================
Jizhou.
The Han envoy from Peiping was heading towards Youzhou on the official road. The Minister of Rites set off for Beijing urgently after receiving the truth after receiving the news of the victory in Dongjiang.
The Minister of Rites, holding a scepter and carrying a certificate of credence in his sleeve, has not had a smile on his face since he left the border of the Northern Han Dynasty. The Kingdom of Zhongshan was the enemy of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the King of Tang was the backer of the enemy!
The friend of the enemy is the enemy! Not to mention that the King of Tang himself had already waded through troubled waters, so he was a direct enemy.
Little did he know at this moment that after the Han army had settled half of the Quzhou coalition forces and controlled the situation in Quzhou, it had quickly determined the battle of Yuzhou. Not one of the more than 20,000 Zhongshan troops who invaded the Northern Han Dynasty escaped. At the same time,
Zhu Biao's brewing counterattack is also underway... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian Literature to be a registered member to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
