Chapter 438: Accomplish all the achievements in one battle (5)
Zhu Zhao is indeed very good at retreating. Although the Ji Le soldiers are mainly light-armored infantry, they seem to be faster than the cavalry when retreating. It is said that after the battle, Feng Jing and Haotian had such a private conversation
It is faster than the retreat of the Bliss soldiers.
At the beginning, you find that you only need to chop down the saber to chop off the opponent's head. But just after you chop down the saber, you realize that you must replace it with a spear to be able to attack the opponent. When you switch to a spear
By the time you draw the bow, they have already entered the best shooting range of the archers. And when you draw the bow from your back and bend the bow to aim, they have already run out of the range of the bow and arrow. This situation really surprised the respectful cavalry.
.
However, Zhu Zhao miscalculated this time.
Although he thought about every detail of the entire retreat, even how he should respond when various accidents occurred, and which generals should be sent to resist. However, he still made a miscalculation because he forgot one thing.
In his expectation, the troops of Ke Danzhong and Qin Mang could at least buy more than three hours for his army. In this way, he would not be far from Xialing County. Even if the cavalry from Hetao came to chase him, he would not be far away.
Even if he blocked himself at the gate of Xialing County, he could break through the defense line of the Hetao soldiers. However, although Ke Danzhong and Qin Mang tried their best, they still could not hold out for two hours.
In fact, Zhu Zhao had considered the combat effectiveness and duration of Ke Danzhong's army as much as possible, but he still forgot one thing. Jiji Shengjiao only stayed in Tiandu Shengjing for more than a day, and the imperial city was not captured.
.However, Tiandu Shengjing has been the imperial capital of the Qingfeng Empire for three hundred years. The accumulation of wealth in the city far exceeds Zhu Zhao's imagination. Even though all the soldiers were engaged in charity work for a while, they still plundered thousands of carts of wealth. And this
With this retreat, Zhu Zhao could only take away very little, and most of his wealth was thrown away where he was.
Hundreds of carts of gold, silver and jewels were just messily thrown into the circular defense circle of the car array. The Bliss soldiers relied on the terrain to resist actively at first, but when Dugu's infantry caught up, they joined forces with the cavalry to strangle them.
At that time, the military morale of the Paradise soldiers was completely lost. Each one of them looked at the gold and silver jewelry around them, and their eyes suddenly lit up. Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster struck. Soldiers who had no loyalty to the Holy Cult of Paradise in the first place
They simply grabbed the gold, silver and jewelry in the car and prepared to drive away.
The pockets on my body were too small, so I took off my clothes and armor to pack them. I grabbed a handful of silver first, and when I saw the shining gold, I immediately threw the silver away to grab the gold. But just as I put the gold into my pocket, I saw the inside of the carriage again.
The jewels and jade that exuded bewitching light, so I threw away the gold and went to catch these. As a result, before the Hetao soldiers rushed in, the Bliss soldiers inside were already fighting each other for the gold and silver jewels. Even Qin Mang and Ke Danzhong
He personally killed dozens of soldiers but was unable to curb their internal strife.
Dugu was very depressed. His army had just surrounded the opponent's chariot formation, and only launched two tentative attacks. As a result, the opponent's line collapsed. Even the archers on the hood and the long swordsmen between the carriages were
It has disappeared. Such a scene puzzled even Haotian who came to inspect it personally.
Dugu thought it was a scam at first, and he carefully sent several groups of spies to investigate. When he learned that the Ji Le soldiers in the car formation were fighting among themselves for the treasure, everyone became depressed. What time is it now?
They actually still have the intention to fight for gold, silver and jewels? People die for money and birds die for food. It is true.
"Attack in!" Haotian said in a deep voice.
At this time, there was no one guarding the vehicle formation of the Holy Sect of Paradise, but Dugu still carefully opened a few gaps before allowing Zhou Jilong's advance troops to enter. Haotian and Yan Lege followed Zhou Jilong, and
Together, Dugu slowly walked into the car formation.
The Bliss soldiers obviously saw the sudden appearance of the Hetao soldiers in front of them, but they saw that the Hetao soldiers did not lift their knives to kill anyone, so they continued to fight for the jewelry on the ground with the people around them.
Yan Lege was silent. The Bliss soldiers were lying on the ground like dogs. The gold and silver jewelry on the ground were like a lot of bones, which made them lose the idea of escape. The Hetao soldiers stood upright.
Next to Haotian, even though there was priceless jewelry at their feet, they did not look at it.
"Commander alone!" Haotian was silent for a moment and shouted in a deep voice.
"My subordinates are here!" Dugu quickly stepped out of the queue.
Yan Lege was a little curious. He wanted to know how Haotian would deal with these people.
Haotian took a deep breath, made a deep breathing gesture, and then slowly exhaled. Dugu, Zhou Jilong and other senior officers of the Hetao, including Haotian's personal soldiers, suddenly had a strong murderous look in their eyes. They knew that when Haotian
When Tian makes this familiar action, it means that he has made a very difficult decision, and this decision is often extremely bloody.
Sure enough, Haotian opened his mouth softly and said: "Kill, kill them all! On the carnival night of Tiandu Shengjing, I guess they are also accomplices of the Holy Sect of Paradise. We in China do not need such spineless people! We can
We forgive the cowardly people, but we will never tolerate betrayal."
"Those belongings?" Dugu's eyes shone a little.
"It's up to you. If you can't decide, just discuss it with Mr. Military Advisor and the others." Haotian said calmly, turned around and walked out of the car formation.
"Chop them all! These things belong to us, uncle!" As soon as Haotian turned around, he heard Dugu's arrogant and domineering laughter.
Yan Lege also followed Haotian. Although he had surrendered to the Hetao, these soldiers belonged to the Holy Sect after all, and he could not bear to stand here and watch them being slaughtered. Before he could go far, Yan Lege heard something from behind.
Dugu's voice: "Sir, you think this is good. All the property will be divided into four parts. One part will be given to Yaochi Jade Palace to help the people affected by the disaster in Tiandu Shengjing; the other part will be converted into gold and silver, except for the death of our southbound army."
Except for the soldiers' pensions, all the rest will be distributed to the soldiers as rewards; part of it will be used as military expenses; and the last part will be given to Mr. Chu."
Yan Lege sighed again, Hetao is indeed full of talents. Compared with the Holy Sect of Paradise, which only knows about destruction, the generals in Hetao are also good at construction. No wonder Hetao can dominate the world in such a short period of time. It is indeed because of them
of uniqueness.
The headquarters of Cheng Xianqing's army, which hurriedly fled, was naturally much smoother than Qin Mang and others who stayed behind. They mainly passed through fields and passed small villages along the way. Zhu Zhao left behind a family of about a thousand households.
The team, relying on the village, tenaciously sniped at the Hetao cavalry who were coming from behind. It must be said that the soldiers coming out of Yangzhou Road were really superstitious about Cheng Xianqing. Although they knew that staying behind would mean death, they still did not hesitate.
They stayed and relied on their meager troops to contend with the cavalry in Hetao.
Since the Holy Sect of Paradise escaped through Tianyue Village, and there are a lot of paddy fields in the Raozhou area, the main force of the infantry in Hetao is encircling and suppressing the Qinmang Kedanzhong tribe of the Holy Sect of Paradise, and a certain amount of troops must be left to prevent the desperate Jie Le soldiers from jumping over the wall to cause harm to those women.
Naturally, all the cavalry were injured and pursued. Under such circumstances, the pursuit of the Hetao cavalry was not smooth. The cavalry from Xue Qingcheng was the first to retreat. The 50,000 cavalry who were killed in blood simply followed the official road towards the Holy Sect of Paradise.
They ran in the possible direction of advance, preparing to directly outflank the back of the Holy Sect of Paradise. As for the cavalry, they were divided into more than 20 small troops to either harass Zhu Zhao's main army, or to conduct a surprise attack on Minghui.
However, Zhu Zhao and Minghui's army was also somewhat restless. During the retreat, except for Cheng Xianqing who ordered some precious jewels to be taken away in an organized manner, the other soldiers also stuffed a large handful into their chests.
Gold and silver. But not every soldier has this opportunity. And now the army is being chased by the Hetao cavalry. The Bliss soldiers in the team looked at the sparkling jewelry in the opponent's chest, and his eyes suddenly drooled with greed, so he took advantage of the Legion
Without paying attention, he stretched out his hand and started robbing. As it turned out, the two men who robbed and the one who was robbed were both strong and powerful men, so they were equally comparable. A lot of jewelry fell to the ground during the process of robbing and being robbed.
Then cause even greater confusion.
Zhu Zhao was running for his life in a hurry, so naturally he had no intention of paying attention to these people. Among the large army that Minghui was responsible for covering, Feng Jing's cavalry was entangled in a hurry, and he was so worried that he was not in the mood to pay attention to this matter. Who cares, they
If you want to kill each other, just kill each other, it will save you time in military law.
As for the gold and silver jewels scattered on the ground, the cavalry chasing after him in Hetao didn't even look at them. Of course, it's not ruled out that they didn't see them on their horses or were inconvenient, but just this alone was enough to make them lose their sight.
Minghui was very impressed.
On the dozens of miles of road from Gongtong to Xia Ling, tens of thousands of cavalrymen and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Minghui Legion constantly staged scenes of pursuit and counter-pursuit. Minghui is worthy of being one of the four famous generals of Bliss.
, due to the restraint of the Hetao cavalry, his marching speed was not very fast. Although he was anxious to escape, he still tried his best to organize the soldiers to break up the rear. There were countless trenches and traps along the way. Especially the kind that was only two feet deep and less than two feet wide.
The one-meter trench caused a lot of trouble for the Hetao cavalry.
The amount of construction of this kind of trench is not large. The Minghui Legion has a large number of people. As long as the soldiers at the rear can snipe the Hetao cavalry a little, the trench will have been formed as soon as they reach the trench. Minghui is a veteran in battle formations, and every trench is in full shape.
Regular lines, with varying distances in the middle. Feng Jing was helpless with such a simple but effective sniper method. In the end, he had to divide the main cavalry into two groups, completely abandoning the rear formation and instead attack the two wings of the Minghui Legion.
.
But Minghui's luck finally came to an end. When he finally came to the vicinity of Xialing County through fields and cross-country under the harassment of Fengjing's cavalry, he was faced with the bloody murder of Hetao who had been waiting near the county.
Minghui's face suddenly turned pale.
At this time, Minghui had already seen the flag of the Holy Sect of Paradise flying high above the city of Xia Ling County, and even vaguely saw the figure of Zhu Zhao and Heping Lang, but now, he could not move forward at all. Feng Jing and Blood Kill
The cavalry totaled nearly 100,000, which was almost the same number as the Minghui Legion at full strength. Moreover, this was still in the wilderness. Even without thinking, Minghui knew what the result would be.
Xialing County is very close, but there seems to be a natural chasm in the middle.
"Commander, what should we do now?" Min Chengdong, the military supervisor, said in an almost mournful voice.
Minghui smiled helplessly, what else could he do now? He was in a head-on collision with 100,000 elite cavalry from Hetao in the wilderness, and he was not prepared at all. It was a fatal situation. The cavalry general from Hetao accurately guessed
The direction of my breakout and the location of the annihilation battle were chosen here, obviously to deliberately deter the defenders in the city. For now, I can only fight one to make a profit and fight two to make a profit. If I can play my part here,
If the cavalry in Hetao were completely held back, Zhu Zhao and others in the city might send troops to rescue them. Of course, this idea is unlikely.
Ping Lang's army moved into Xia Ling County last night, and Zhu Zhao's army had just arrived less than an hour ago. If they can make up their minds, their side is not irreversible. Besides, Xia Ling County is not big.
With more than 100,000 soldiers crammed inside, it was already overcrowded and there were problems with scheduling, let alone leaving the city? When another thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded, Minghui was completely desperate.
To the north of Xialing County, a black line in the billowing smoke was heading here like a violent storm, and dozens of flags were fluttering in the wind. Minghui's eyes were good, and he immediately saw the high-flying snow-capped lion flag.
And the flag of the Qingfeng royal family. The Dragon Cavalry Legion, which was blocked by Wan Chengdong's army in Qingqiu, actually came.
On the top of the city, Zhu Zhao originally waved the flag that was ready to send troops to respond and finally threw it somewhere. Looking at the Minghui Legion struggling under the iron hooves of the Hetao Cavalry and Dragoon Legion in the wilderness outside the city, Zhu Zhao and Heping Lang
They couldn't bear to close their eyes. Cheng Xianqing and Bing Heng were staying in the most luxurious courtyard in the city, completely ignoring the 100,000 soldiers of the Minghui Legion behind them.
When the Xuesha and Fengjing cavalry returned to the Gongtong Hetao camp, it was already afternoon. Hubiyandan's dragon cavalry regiment did not accompany them. They were already heading towards Tiandu Shengjing. Anyway,
The Dragon Cavalry Legion is a regular legion within the Qingfeng Empire. What happened in the Tiandu Shengjing cannot be justified if he does not go back.
In the next battle in Xia Ling City, the Minghui Legion's 100,000-strong army was completely wiped out. The Minghui Legion was no longer the invincible Minghui Legion that roamed the southeast at the beginning, but even the 100,000 soldiers of the Minghui Legion at that time could never hope to survive in the field battle.
They blocked the repeated attacks of 100,000 cavalry in Hetao and a dragon cavalry regiment. The battle only lasted for more than an hour, and the Minghui Legion completely collapsed. The rise of blood killing and other human killings, coupled with Haotian's order, left no one behind
The prisoners were actually killed together with the surrendered soldiers. And in this wilderness, facing the four-legged cavalry, there was nowhere to escape. Just under the nose of Zhu Zhaopinglang at the top of the city, the Minghui Legion
The handsome flag was smashed to pieces by the respectful stamp.
Facing the dead bodies everywhere, the Hetao cavalry seemed to be unable to bear it. They actually dug several large pits and buried all the Ji Le soldiers. At first, Zhu Zhao and others on the city wall were very puzzled. They didn't know why Hetao did this.
But later they finally understood. It turned out that both Blood Killing and Feng Jing were still thinking about the gold and silver jewelry in the arms of these Bliss soldiers. Although they were not greedy for money, they could plunder more property and return to Hetao. They wanted to bring Hetao's finances
The pressure will be much less. Moreover, most of the soldiers in the Minghui Legion are composed of the ruffians in Tiandu Shengjing. These people are most afraid of death. When they see that they can't escape, they simply fall to the ground and pretend.
die.
For these shameless gangsters who took advantage of the disaster in the imperial capital, Xue Kill and Feng Jing will naturally not let go. But now, except for the four-legged cavalry, there is no standing Bliss soldier on the battlefield. Xue Kill thought for a while,
Just throw all these people into the big pit while collecting the corpses. If you pretend to be dead, then keep pretending. Throwing them into the pit and burying them alive will just add a little fertilizer to the land. In the process, countless pretenders
The dead soldiers of Bliss screamed again and again, and many even cried loudly and begged for mercy. However, the Hetao cavalry were truly hard-hearted when facing these people. They didn't care how miserable you screamed, just two of them.
One person lifted a corpse with one hand and one foot and threw it into the pit. Zhu Zhao and others on the city wall were furious. Although they had been so cruel, they never expected that Hetao could be so cruel. But Hu Bi
Yandan's Dragon Cavalry Legion is now carefully blocking the city gate to prevent them from making a surprise attack out of the city. Zhu Zhao and others can only watch from the towers as the soldiers of the Minghui Legion who were still alive in the morning are thrown into the pit one by one.
But what surprised everyone was that among the corpses of the Holy Sect of Paradise, the soldiers in Hetao found no trace of Minghui. No one knew where this general, one of the four famous generals of Paradise, had gone, which also became Zhu's
