The campaign wiped out 20,000 people in Beimang. However, in order to hold off Tuoba Hun, the Taizhou Army led by Long Qie also suffered a lot of losses. In this battle, they faced almost five times their own number. The Taizhou Army lost more than 3,000 people.
More than 2,000 people were seriously injured, and the rest were all injured.
Just after leaving Taizhou, the Taizhou Army suffered heavy losses. Among the several armies, the Taizhou Army suffered the most serious losses.
However, this time the Taizhou Army also stole the show. Xishuiyuan wiped out 6,000 Beimang Army soldiers, and this time 20,000 more enemies were killed. Although many of them were later killed by Lin Chong and Chang Yuchun, Long Qie led them
Even if ten thousand people were killed, there would still be some.
The Taizhou Army lost 3,000 men and killed 16,000 enemies. Such a brilliant record was enough for the Taizhou Army to brag about for a long time.
"Clean the battlefield and return!" Long Qie was also very excited. He hadn't fought such an exciting battle in a long time.
Of course, Jieshan Camp has now become Song An's territory. After hearing that Tuoba Hun fled back to Beimang with 30,000 defeated soldiers, Song An was only a little regretful. Tuoba Hun returned alive, which is equivalent to
A thorn was buried in Beimang in advance.
This time, no one from the Ten Thousand Kills Palace or Gusu River came to help. It was impossible for Tuoba Hun not to have any resentment in his heart. Thirty thousand people could do a lot of things.
After taking control of the boundary mountain, Guo Jia began to transform the boundary mountain. First, he spent a lot of effort to build five huge pools in the rock wall of the boundary mountain to store water. At the same time, he requisitioned grain from the nearest Qingzhou.
The quantity is quite large, enough to feed 30,000 people for several months.
For things like garrisoning and defense, it does not mean that the more people, the better. Just like when Tuoba Hun led 80,000 troops to garrison here, the daily consumption of food and water was simply an astronomical figure. With Song An's current ability, it is simply impossible to do so.
bear.
The reason why there was a shortage of water and food was because there were too many people stationed in Tuobahun.
The area of Boundary Mountain is not large. According to Guo Jia's estimation, it is most suitable to station 30,000 troops in the Boundary Mountain area. Finally, after discussion, Long Qie was left to guard the Boundary Mountain, with 10,000 troops from each of the three northern states, and Song Dynasty on the Taizhou side.
An Ze left 10,000 Luo Shui troops behind.
Song An only has 40,000 Chi Ling troops left in his hands!
However, Song An was not too worried about the problem of soldiers. Xiao He immediately started recruiting troops after taking over the logistics. It is still possible to recruit 100,000 usable troops in the seven states, especially in the recent chaos in the imperial capital, with more than 100,000 refugees going north to seek help.
Seeking Song An's asylum actually relieved Song An's pressure on the soldiers.
But one hundred thousand soldiers is almost the limit that Qizhou can recruit, and it will take at least three months to have combat effectiveness of these one hundred thousand soldiers. To have the combat effectiveness of Luoshui Army, it will take at least five months!
Song An doesn't lack anything else now, but what he lacks is time to build his own power.
But Beimang didn't give him this time.
On the fifth day when Song An arrived at the border, Gusu River, which was supposed to appear near the boundary mountain, had already detoured to the Longdun Mountain area. Hu Jun also successfully captured Longdun Mountain. Now the two armies are in the Longdun Mountain area.
Confrontation.
On one side is the famous Qi general Tianyao General Hu Jun, and on the other side is Beimang's second general Gu Suchuan. No one knows who is stronger or weaker between the two.
But judging from the current situation, Gusuchuan has a great advantage because he has brought 300,000 troops.
However, after Hu Jun went out to guard Yongzhou and Chongzhou, he only had 150,000 troops left to mobilize. Gusuchuan's troops were nearly twice as many as Hu Jun's. Such a huge numerical gap made Gusuchuan
Very passive.
The battle between the two people also attracted the attention of many parties. Song Hongwu, Song Hongwen, Dongcang, and the Beimang royal court all focused their attention here. This battle was related to the fate of Song An and Beimang.
.
If Bei Mang loses in the end of this battle, Bei Mang's years of preparation will be in vain, and from now on, Bei Mang will no longer have the power to annex the world.
If Song An loses, without Hu Jun's arm, Song An will be severely damaged, and he may have to stick to the seven states.
When Chen Bing was in the Longdun Mountain area of Gusu River, Song Hongwu finally completed the suppression of the western area. The 200,000 troops sent by Xiling had already rushed to the junction of Daqi and Xiling, and could reach the imperial capital in less than five days.
, as soon as the Xiling Army arrives, it is time to eliminate the hidden danger of Song Hongwen.
At the same time, in Jinzhou, a group of strong men were waiting in Song Hongwen's tent, and murderous intent surged freely in the camp.
Everyone was nervous and could hear each other's breathing.
"Second brother, do you know who are the two most difficult forces to deal with in the world?" In the big tent, Song Hongzhi, who had disappeared for more than ten days, suddenly appeared here and sat on the table with a look on his face.
Staring playfully at Song Hongwen in front of him, he only saw Song Hongya and Jiang Yunxuan next to him and never looked at them at all.
"Xiling and Dongcang!" Song Hongwen's face was solemn. He couldn't guess why the other party appeared here. Is it because of the jade seal in his hand?
It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly discovered that the jade seal was the most dangerous thing in the world. Holding it in his hands was like playing with fire. He couldn't understand why Song An kept the jade seal before, but he didn't understand it until now.
If Song An had not kept the jade seal, what Song An would have to face now might be the cooperation of many enemies. No matter how strong Song An was at that time, he would probably be unable to defeat four people with just two fists.
"It seems that you know quite a lot!" Song Hongzhi was a little surprised when Song Hongwen gave such a definite answer.
"Everyone in Daqi knows that Beimang and Nanli are two powerful enemies, and they really don't mention Xiling and Dongcang much. But who knew that it is these two seemingly inconspicuous countries that pose a threat to Daqi!"
"Bai Yuanzhou can suppress Nanli by himself, but some people still regard Nanli and Beimang as their main enemies. It's really sad!" Song Hongzhi lamented.
Song Hongwen looked at Song Hongzhi in front of him, and he became more and more confused about what the other party was paying attention to. To divert his attention? Do you want to fight Song Hongzhi yourself?
"Tell me directly, what do you mean by coming here this time?"
"If you are here to kill me, then I can tell you with confidence that even if you can kill me, you will never be able to escape!" Song Hongwen said with confidence, and he was absolutely sure that he could keep three and a half people behind.
Holy, at this moment, the army under his control has surrounded the big tent where they are.
It was because of fear of being assassinated that Song Hongwen gave up living in the city and instead lived directly in the military camp.
Song Hongzhi waved his hand and said with disdain.
"Don't worry, I have no interest in killing you right now. On the contrary, I hope you and Song Hongwu will fight at nine o'clock, otherwise I may not have the chance to complete what I want to do!"
"Xiling's 200,000 troops have arrived. In less than five days, he will be able to assemble 400,000 troops to attack you from the north and south."
"Coupled with the fact that he is the Three Great Half-Saints, you have no chance at all."
