No matter how powerful the war horse is, it has been exhausted after galloping for such a long time carrying fully armed soldiers. At this moment, Fang Jun urged him to rush towards the "reinforcements" with all his strength, and a small pit was dug in his front hoof.
After a moment's hesitation, the horse stumbled and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Fang Jun reacted quickly and jumped off the horse when he felt something was wrong. However, the "reinforcements" in front of him were not so lucky...
The huge body of the war horse was covered with heavy armor, and it rolled into the "reinforcement" formation due to gravity acceleration, and immediately hit a large area. Seeing that each of the dead soldiers who had shown off their power in front of them and were highly valued by their families were slaughtered like melons and vegetables,
This motley army of slaves and miscellaneous servants had long been frightened by the cruel killings in front of them. At this moment, they thought that Fang Jun had gone crazy and wanted to kill them all. Suddenly, there was a chaos of howling ghosts and wolves running around.
It's not that these servants are too useless, it's that these murderous god-like armored cavalry in front of them are too murderous!
Fang Jun jumped off the horse and landed on the ground, staggering in his steps. After sitting astride the horse for a long time, his legs were a little numb. He was not used to the cold and steady ground. He took a few steps to relax before returning to normal. He was not in the mood.
Paying no attention to these miscellaneous troops, he walked up to the war horse, spread out his hands and took off the protective gear on the horse's face, only to see that the war horse had died of exhaustion, its limbs were twitching, and blood was flowing from the corners of its mouth.
Fang Jun felt unbearable...
His mind was driven into a state of madness due to the brutal killing, and only then did he wake up. He stood up and raised his hands to the cavalry galloping behind him: "Dismount immediately!" The horses were exhausted, and they must maintain their last bit of strength as much as possible.
Otherwise, he will die from exhaustion like his own war horse.
These war horses have greatly exhausted their physical strength and are already useless. They can no longer be used as war horses. But for these war horses, which are equivalent to the most loyal partners, Fang Jun will naturally not throw them away casually and transport them back to the farm in Lishan for good health.
, I am still capable of pulling a plow and driving a car.
Fang Jun will never give up on his companions, whether they are the nobles under his command or the war horses at his hip...
Fang Jun reached out and took off his helmet, came to Li Ke, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming to my aid!"
"We see you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming to our aid!"
The soldiers behind him dismounted one after another, knelt on the ground, and paid an audience to King Wu Li Ke.
This is not just a ritual, just for show. After being besieged on the mountain for many days, all the state and county military bureaus sat back and watched with cold eyes. But now, His Highness the King of Wu, who is rich in gold, personally risked his life and came to help. Although he did not participate in the war.
...but this intention was enough to move these soldiers!
I kneel down here willingly.
King Wu Li Ke pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he felt that his throat was blocked by something and he could not say a word.
Fang Jun, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, looked almost heart-shaking at this moment...
It is true that this guy does not have his own beautiful face and handsome face, but he always pays great attention to appearance. His hair is always neatly kept, and his clothes are always clean. Although his skin color is slightly dark, his expression is calm and refreshing.
You will feel at ease, clean and clear.
But now...
His hair was wet with sweat and was messily rolled out like felt. Sweat and rain trickled down from his hairline and forehead. His originally plump cheeks had become thin and sunken. The refreshing noble man of the past had disappeared, and a bit of sharpness and sharpness had been added out of thin air.
Evil spirit!
The armor was crooked, and the armor was stained with blood. Some of it had solidified and settled in the gaps in the armor, and some had been washed away by the drizzle and was dripping down the armor...
Taking a deep breath, His Highness King Wu, who has always been fond of cleanliness, did not feel any discomfort. He clenched his fists and shouted: "You all fought bravely and bloodyly to quell the Shanyue rebellion. Your contribution is to the country and the history of history shines brightly! You are brave and fearless in desperate situations.
Death is the glory of the army. It strengthens the power of our Tang Dynasty army, gallops invincibly, and shocks the south of the Yangtze River! Congratulations to you all!"
After saying this, King Wu Li Ke straightened his clothes, folded his hands, bent down and bowed his head, and couldn't get up for a long time!
This statement is equivalent to His Royal Highness King Wu setting the tone for the warriors in front of him, and the credit goes to Sheji! In the later battle report, it will also be reported to the center and the emperor according to this tone!
Thinking of the emperor's attention and the rewards they were about to receive, all the soldiers rushed with enthusiasm, and followed Fang Jun in shouting: "Congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!"
"Congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!"
"Congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!"
Called three times in a row, the sound shook the whole world!
The children of several aristocratic families and the motley crew behind them all had pale faces and were trembling all over!
In front of these soldiers, whose armor is still dripping with blood, how can they be compared to the dead soldiers raised by the Jiangnan gentry with such heroic aura that they look down on the world? It is simply like fireflies competing with the bright moon, and sparrows competing with swans!
It's a pity that my family still dreams of crossing the river to rule and ceding territory to become king. Is there any idea more stupid than this? A "charge team" under Fang Jun can have such ferocious fighting power, and the even more elite Twelve Guards Army
...What a terrifying existence it will be?
Back then, Du Fuwei swept across the Huaihe River and Xiao Xian dominated Tiannan. It has been too long now. The young people have never experienced those prosperous years when the warriors and horses galloped thousands of miles like tigers! Du Fuwei was forced to have no choice but to surrender.
In the Tang Dynasty, Tiger Ben of the Tang Dynasty, who defeated Xiao Mian's 400,000-strong army to pieces and destroyed the country, did not have any intuitive feelings.
This year, all the armies of the Tang Dynasty are fighting in the Northern Xinjiang and the Western Regions. Although they are undefeated in successive battles and victories, they are still so far apart that they still cannot see how invincible and invincible the truly elite power of the Tang Dynasty soldiers is!
But now, they have seen it with their own eyes and feel it the same way!
Just this armored cavalry, which has not yet reached the age of 100, can drive away and kill tens of thousands of mountainous people like dolphins and dogs, and can slaughter the most elite soldiers raised by each family like sheep!
He really became famous in one battle and shocked the south of the Yangtze River!
Now Fang Jun has gone south to form a navy and prepare for the establishment of a shipping company. He has made it clear that he wants to compete with the Jiangnan nobles for profit. But in the face of such fierceness, what can the Jiangnan nobles do?
*****
Despite the desperate situation and a great victory, Fang Jun did not leave immediately.
The battlefield always needs to be cleaned up. If the corpses scattered all over the mountains and plains cannot be buried and incinerated in time, a plague will definitely occur and the disaster will be endless. Moreover, the iron factory also needs his guidance to form productivity as soon as possible. Moreover, this place not only has excellent iron ore, but also is full of dolomite soil.
, this is the raw material for making ceramics. It would be a pity if it is left to be abandoned. You can order your family business to recruit porcelain masters from all over and build several porcelain kilns here.
The most important thing is to prepare fuel for the iron plant...
There are many iron mines in the south of the Yangtze River, but no coal is produced. Using wood or charcoal to make iron will either cause the temperature to be too low or the cost is too high, which is not ideal. If he wants to make coke to make iron, he can find coal mines nearby to make coke, or simply make coke from
After the coke was refined in Guanzhong, it was directly transported here by water.
As for the coking method... Anyway, just seal the coal and burn it like porcelain...
Of course, Wu King Li Ke couldn't stay with Fang Jun in this unlucky place with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. After returning to Jiangdu, he immediately ordered the battle report to be sent to the capital by horseback eight hundred miles away.
Immediately following this battle report, was the news of Fang Jun's victory over Niuzhuji. Jiangnan was covered with dense water networks and convenient transportation, so the news spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River in just a few days as if it had wings.
Jiangnan is shaking!
Xiao Yu, who was stationed in Jinling, received the news immediately. He was stunned for a long time, and then he exclaimed: "Fang Jun, a famous general in the court, has a place in the army from now on!"
Don't say that Fang Jun took advantage of the troops. He was equipped with iron cavalry to deal with the ragged Shanyue rebels and slaughtered them. He was able to achieve the record of killing five thousand rebels in such an isolated and helpless situation and under heavy siege.
That is a famous general!
But then, Xiao Yu sighed again and said to the elders of the clan: "All the dead soldiers sent by various families in the south of the Yangtze River were slaughtered by Fang Jun. This feud has been settled. Don't look at the current situation of each family.
If you swallow your anger on the face, you will definitely not stop using your methods secretly."
All the elders were deeply convinced. Of course, the one who was even more shocked was Fang Jun’s desperate counterattack!
Xiao Yu caught everyone's expressions in his eyes and pointedly asked: "Is there anyone else involved in the family's dealings with Fang Jun?"
