In the early morning, Chen Hongyu stood on the wall and watched the sun rising slowly in the distance, feeling very happy.
With the Xu family as internal agents, the defenders were in chaos and killed each other.
In addition, the border troops entered the city directly, so Lingguan was captured smoothly.
Except for the 500 Lantai warriors and a few disciples headed by Xu Fan who were in trouble, the rest of the ordinary Seven Kills soldiers did not offer any resistance, and most of them surrendered immediately as soon as the army arrived.
"General! Lingguan has been completely captured. Our army has about two thousand casualties." At this time, a meritorious officer came forward to report the casualties.
Hearing this, Chen Hongyu was not surprised. In the battle to win Lingguan this time, the ordinary Seven Kills sergeants actually played no role in resistance. Most of the casualties were caused by those Lantai warriors and those on the Seven Kills Army side.
Caused by masters.
"General, now that we have passed the Lingguan, the entire Ba County will be open to us. It's a pity that we don't have enough troops. Otherwise, if we capture the entire Ba County, my brothers may be able to move up a level." The person who said this was a general.
Seeing the depressed look on his face, Chen Hongyu said with a smile: "There's nothing we can do about it. Ba County borders Yu County. Naturally, our 20,000 border troops can easily sweep through Ba County. After all, the main force of the Seven Killings Army is in Yu County."
.
But the key is that after we attack Bajun, we must have enough troops to garrison it.
Chen Qian, I think you absolutely understand these principles."
"Of course I understand. It's just that I feel a little depressed when I have such a huge military achievement before my eyes but I can't get it."
As he spoke, he sighed and continued: "The border army cannot be moved lightly, so this time we only mobilized one hundred thousand brothers to suppress the rebellion. Now most of our brothers in the border army are following the general. If the young master
Like Wang Mu's son, in addition to the border troops, he can also have a neighboring state as a shield. With sufficient troops, he can directly occupy Bajun."
"General, Xu You of the Xu family has brought someone to see you!" At this time, a guard came to report.
"Let them come up!" Chen Hongyu waved his hand.
People like the Xu family have made great achievements this time, and after this battle, the Seven Killers Army will definitely not be able to accommodate the Xu family. Many important vacant positions can be filled by people from the Xu family.
"Greetings to General Zhou!" Xu You's face was pale and his steps were sloppy. It was obvious that he had suffered heavy losses in the battle last night. After all, they wanted to unite to hold back Xu Fan, a monk who had perfected his second level.
"It's okay, no need to be polite!" Seeing this, Chen Hongyu happened to have all the generals present, and Xu You, the representative of the Xu family, had just arrived, so he began to assign duties within the Lingguan.
There are still 6,700 or 7,700 soldiers in Lingguan. They will all be disrupted and reorganized this time, and will be commanded by border army generals. Many direct descendants of the Xu family will also serve in the new army that was disrupted and rebuilt.
After all, firstly, the people of the Xu family have made great contributions, and in addition to letting go of the past, they must also show a certain expression; secondly, after all, these people of the Xu family still have good abilities, and they no longer have the weight to join the Seven Killers, so they are worthy of trust; and finally, there is
This Lingguan was originally a strong pass, but later it was repaired by the Seven Killings Army, and methods were deployed on it, such as formations, mechanisms, etc.
With these Seven Killers who were already serving in the garrison taking the lead, the border troops would soon be able to master these means of defending the city.
After everyone left, someone came to pay their respects again, and it was Tao Ran.
This Tao Ran is really interesting. After successfully persuading Xu You and others, he hid directly until the army entered the pass and the situation was completely under control before he came out. This can be regarded as the essence of Gou.
"Tao Ran has met the general!"
Chen Hongyu looked at Tao Ran in front of him and joked: "Why don't you start a rebellion with Xu You and others? You can't be tempted when you have such a huge contribution in front of you?"
Tao Ran smiled bitterly and said: "General, forgive me, many members of the Xu family have died this time. Tao Ran is just about to enter the second stage of destiny. If he accidentally participates in this matter, he will die in the chaos.
But at this time, I am the only one left alive in our Tao family. If I die in the battle again, the Tao family will really be completely cut off."
After hearing this, Chen Hongyu understood.
Tao Ran acted like this for the sake of family inheritance. Previously, his family was ruined and he had nothing, so he was naturally willing to sacrifice his life to bring down the Seven Killing Army.
But at this time, he was valued by himself and was about to become his subordinate. With his own help, it would not take many years for him to restore the former glory of the Tao family and re-establish the Tao family. At this time, Tao Ran was naturally unwilling to do too much.
Live adventurous things.
To put it simply, Tao Ran changed from being barefoot to wearing shoes.
"That's good. From today on, you will work as a meritorious officer under me. It's just the time when Lingguan has just been released, and there are many affairs in the pass. Let's take up the post now!"
It was not until the next day that Chen Hongyu arranged all the affairs in Lingguan, and then he took the only two thousand heavy cavalry among the frontier troops and rushed towards Shangyu Pass.
On the plain outside Shangyu Pass, military tents rise one after another, seemingly endless.
Chen Hongyu let these heavy cavalry enter the military camp, and then headed towards the Chinese army's main tent under the leadership of the defenders.
"The last general, Zhou Yu, pays homage to the general!"
In the main tent, after Chen Hongyu saluted Yin Zheng and other generals, he began to greet everyone.
Chen Hongyu could clearly feel that the many generals in the tent had different senses for him.
After all, these generals are all Yin Zheng's old subordinates who have fought for many years. Therefore, they all had some care for Zhou Yu before, and they also recognized Zhou Yu to some extent because of his cultivation talents and other things.
But this battle at Lingguan completely made them start to take Chen Hongyu seriously.
"Have all the affairs within the Lingguan been arranged?" Yin Zheng asked.
"Everything has been arranged!" Chen Hongyu continued: "Lingguan was originally used to defend against the natives of Bajun, and it also has a strong defensive power internally.
In addition, the Seven Kills Army not only repaired and strengthened the Ling Pass but also used many methods. As long as the border troops and new troops stationed at the Ling Pass do not take the initiative to attack, they can hold it no matter how many Seven Kills Army come."
"Well, now that Lingguan and Nanyuguan have been captured, it can be said that of the three Bayu counties, only Yujun is really occupied by the Seven Killing Army. As long as we break through Shangyuguan and Xiayuguan, this time
The rebellion of the Seven Killing Army has been completely subsided."
At this time, a general in the tent said with emotion: "It's a pity that Shangyu Pass is originally a strong pass. At this time, there are Lantai warriors guarding the city, as well as many monks from the second and third realms as well as Lu Zhiying, a monk from the fourth realm.
If we sit in command, our border troops will not be able to defeat them even if we spend all the money we have brought this time!"
As soon as this statement came out, all the generals in the tent started talking.
"No need to discuss, I will take action myself tomorrow!" Yin Zheng made the final decision.
