Xue Sha and Yan Lege led 40,000 blood cavalry as the vanguard and had already gone out. The mystery of placing Yan Lege next to Xue Sha was also considered. If Yan Lege had other ideas, then he would definitely not be able to escape Xue Sha's blow.
And with his talent for bloodshed, he thought he would be able to trick him into opening the gate of Longsheng County.
Dugu was searching for Roman chariots in the army, and all the carriages carrying food and logistics supplies were vacated for Dugu's journey north. Haotian's carriages also contributed. Considering that these women were weak, Haotian ordered all the generals to use them.
The furs were spread on the carriage. Xue Qingcheng also prepared the extra war horses and prepared to lead the team herself.
Xuanji is writing his Haotian military orders in code words and tying them to the legs of carrier pigeons to quickly notify Yan Lege. The distance from Fengjing is relatively close, so he only needs to report quickly. Moreover, Hetao has not set up carrier pigeons on Yangzhou Road before.
No, he couldn't take it into consideration at all.
Xin Jiao and others are organizing soldiers to pour water into the women. Luo Xiang and Xian Lianchen have already arrested a group of soldiers to collect various herbs and prepare to torture them on the spot.
"Dawu, you and Ji Liu Zeng Dan should pay attention to patrolling. Our team is too bloated now. Once we encounter a sneak attack, the consequences will be disastrous." Haotian said worriedly. His main army only has 10,000 cavalry and more than 40,000 infantry. Dugu led
After taking away 20,000 infantry, he only had more than 20,000 infantry left in his hands. Not to mention the 14th Guards from the Shouzhou direction who came to sneak attack, or the navy of Kawamoto Shinada landed on the bank of the river and secretly gave him
If he comes with a sword, the army of Hetao will definitely go crazy.
"Didn't the military advisor already order the tens of thousands of troops around us to move closer to us?" Zhao Dawu said with a smile.
Haotian shook his head: "Don't take it lightly. Don't forget, there are more than 30,000 women in our army, and they really don't have the strength to resist at all."
Zhao Dawu left in a hurry. Haotian thought for a moment and summoned another soldier: "Take some people around to collect as much firewood as possible. It is very cool at night, and those girls are just wearing a layer of clothes. When the time comes,
Light more bonfires to keep everyone warm."
At night, the river breeze caresses gently, as if a lover's hands are gently stroking the cheeks, making people extremely comfortable. Haotian, Luo Xiang and Xuanji sat quietly on a grass field with a jar of wine, looking up at the sky.
The stars were all silent. After finishing his work, Xin Jiao knelt down behind Haotian as usual, looking at Haotian with affectionate eyes.
When it was getting dark, Zhang Yuewan's navy also arrived at the riverside, which is more than ten miles south of Meiyang County. After learning what happened here, Zhang Yuewan quickly moved most of the things on the ship over. She
There were actually a lot of herbs there, many of which were needed by Xian Lianchen to make medicine. Xian Lianchen was overjoyed, and Zhang Yuewan also handed over the fleet to Zhang Cangzong's care, and helped Xian Lianchen with his work.
Luo Xiang and Xuanji have already formulated the next battle plan. After they return from the bloody killing, the army will immediately escort all the women through Raozhou and Shouzhou, and first enter the territory of the Zhang family in Huaishui. These women, if they have no objections
, then all of them will be escorted by the army to Hetao.
They who have experienced such an experience cannot receive equal treatment in the territory of Tiandu Shengjing and the three major aristocratic families. Moreover, they are basically homeless and have no ability to survive alone. Therefore, Haotian plans to
First escort them to the Hetao area before making any plans. After several years of integration, since the people of Hetao can have the same vision for women from brothels, they will not ignore them. Moreover, the officials in Hetao are far away
Compared with the Qingming Festival in Shengjing, Tiandu, this can at least ensure that they will not be oppressed by corrupt officials and suffer such a nightmare again after arriving in Hetao. Moreover, in addition to the unsatisfactory food reserves in Hetao in recent years, it can be considered
The treasury is sufficient and it must be able to support their normal life.
Originally, Haotian was planning to join forces with the Zhang family to remove the thorn in Shouzhou and force Pinglang's forces out of Raozhou. However, considering that Cheng Xianqing's army would return to Yangzhou Road at any time, Haotian had no choice but to swallow this immature idea.
Enter the stomach. Of course, if given the chance, Haotian would not mind sticking to this plan.
Three days later, the Hetao army led by Xue Sha and Dugu finally entered the boundary of Linzhou. However, it took another whole day to walk from here to the outskirts of Meiyang City where Haotian was, and it was not until the morning of the fourth day that all
arrive.
When they left, there were 60,000 infantry and cavalry, but when they came back, there were just over 80,000. Xinke's subordinate Zhang Zhenxin led 30,000 cavalry and followed them back. But when he saw their team, Haotian was surprised.
Jaw-dropping, is this still a marching team?
On the avenue, the Hetao Iron Blood Mountain and River Flag was raised high and fluttered in the wind. The bloody cavalry naturally cleared the way at the front, but the speed of the cavalry was very slow, almost the same as that of the infantry. Behind the cavalry, there were thousands of vehicles of various types.
There were such vehicles as horse-drawn carriages, mule carts, donkey carts and ox-carts. Not only were the cars full of people, but also some pretty women were sitting on the shafts. There were many Hetao soldiers leading the carriages on both sides and behind.
The horses walked slowly, and there were basically two women sitting on the horses, but they were all crooked, and it seemed that if the wind got stronger, they might be blown off the horses.
Haotian rubbed his head: "What on earth is going on?"
Luo Xiang and others all shook their heads. It was obvious that they did not expect this team to be so huge, which completely exceeded their expectations. Looking at this posture, it is no wonder that they have to walk for so many days.
Xue Sha took the lead in patting Zhenshan and walked up, and talked with Haotian and others in detail. Only then did Haotian understand the whole story. After all, Yang Qingxiu’s knowledge was limited. Although the scale of Longsheng County in Guazhou was larger than that of Meiyang County,
It is smaller, but many of the women kidnapped by the Holy Sect from the Dahu Road some time ago are concentrated here, and many of them are preparing to be transported to the mainland of Eastern Japan after the arrival of the Eastern Japanese Navy. The two combined into one, the number is actually as high as six
Wan. The Holy Sect of Paradise is heavily defended here. There are as many as 20,000 soldiers stationed on guard. Fortunately, there is Yan Lege, the most powerful general of Paradise, in the team. Finally, they can escape all obstacles and enter.
In the county seat, he was successfully rescued.
The vehicles that Dugu brought could only take away 10,000 people at most. In addition to the 6,000 horses that Xue Qingcheng had vacated, even one horse and two people were far from enough. Although these women were in slightly better condition after drinking some cold water
After a long time of thinking, Xue Sha had to free up all the horses of his cavalry and let these women ride on them.
above, and all infantrymen have been converted into infantrymen.
These women are basically people who have never ridden a horse, and their bodies are weak. Although they are riding on horses, their walking speed is almost the same as that of infantry. Xue Sha has only 40,000 cavalry under his command, and even with Dugu's
The total strength of the 20,000 infantrymen is only 60,000. After losing their horses, the 40,000 blood cavalry have the same powerful combat effectiveness, but their mobility has been greatly reduced.
The straight-line distance between Jinwan County and Longsheng in Guazhou is only a few dozen miles, and Wan Chengdong and Sheng Mabi in the Holy Capital of Paradise are also very capable. Regardless of Ye Hengsheng's objections, the two mobilized 50,000 elites
The infantry decisively went out of the city to pursue. Guazhou was originally the home base of the Holy Sect of Paradise. It was full of crazy believers who were bewitched by the cult theory of the Holy Sect of Paradise. Although it was generally unable to cause harm to the Hetao army, it could cause harm to the Hetao army.
A little trouble, but no problem. These people are originally local people and are extremely familiar with the terrain. Dugu's 20,000 infantry have to resist the 50,000 infantry of Wan Chengdong and Sheng Mabi, and the 40,000 soldiers have to protect the bloodshed
There are as many as 60,000 weak women in the team, and they are completely defenseless against the attacks of these local snakes. And these religious people are indeed vicious enough. They use countless methods such as destroying traffic and poisoning the water along the way, and the bloody soldiers are the most
They are good at offense, but weak in defense. Moreover, they are indeed good at killing generals and capturing flags, but this kind of delicate nanny work is simply not something they can undertake. Fortunately, Zhang Xingxin, under Xinke, led 30,000 cavalry from
Ruzhou entered Meizhou and went south along the east side of the lonely hills, and happened to bump into the armies of Wan Chengdong and Sheng Mabi. As a result, under the double attack of Dugu and Zhang Xingxin, Wan Chengdong and Sheng Mabi finally succeeded.
There was no way to retreat, but even so, Hetao still paid the price of 10,000 soldiers.
"The skeletons of the soldiers?" Haotian was very concerned about this issue.
"They are all cremated, and the military cards have been packed away." Dugu nodded. Xue Sha's face was full of anger. This was the first time in so many years of fighting that he had acted so cowardly, but under such circumstances, he had no choice but to do anything.
Dugu continued: "Fortunately, we have expert help this time, otherwise we would have spent at least two more days on this journey."
"Exalt?" Haotian was very puzzled. It was not easy to get Dugu to say the word "expert".
Xue Sha took a step forward and said: "It's a group of women. After we captured Longsheng County, although we gave them a lot of cold water, they still couldn't climb on the back of the horse. Even if they sat on the horse, they were swaying.
The shaking wind was blowing us down. We were having a headache, and a group of women came out from nowhere. With their help, we found some herbal medicines on the spot, plus some medicines they found from nowhere.
After being tortured and taken in a cauldron, these women were finally able to ride horses on their own. If not, our losses would have been even greater."
Haotian raised his eyebrows, Luo Xiang frowned in thought, but Xin Jiao let out a soft sigh.
"Jiao, do you know?" Haotian asked strangely.
Xin Jiao whispered in Haotian's ear: "Husband, when I traveled around the world before, I heard that there is a mysterious remnant of an ancient race on the mainland. Like ours, they all regard women as their
Lord, because the martial arts they practice are quite unique and they live underground all year round, they call themselves a clan of ghost girls. However, their place of residence has always been kept secret. I just thought that Lonely Hills is the site of an ancient battlefield, so I made a bold guess."
Haotian nodded, and it seemed that he would need to ask Qiu Mu after a while. Now was not the time to be entangled in this matter, so he said in a deep voice: "Jiao, you take these girls to rest first, Xue Shuai
, Dushuai, come here."
After a pause, Haotian whispered: "Remember, try not to give them the chance to commit suicide." Haotian said this is not unreasonable. In just the past few days, more than 800 women have committed suicide.
More than 600 people have succeeded.
Xin Jiao understood and just nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Xue Sha and Dugu also knew that Haotian was preparing to deploy the next military operation. At that moment, Xin Jiao gave a few instructions and then left with Haotian.
Xin Jiao had just handled the affairs of more than 30,000 women a few days ago. Although the number of people was now very large, he at least had some experience, so he did not panic.
"Zhang Zhenxin, Zhou Jilong, Long Zhishan, Green, you guys bring these girls here. Girls, don't panic. Since my lord has saved you from hell, he will definitely take good care of you.
, we have prepared sufficient food and clothing for you." Xin Jiao said gently.
Yang Qingxiu and other women who had received the news also hurried out. After a few days of self-cultivation, they could walk without any problems, and now they were able to help.
