After the fall of Shouzhou, from the 14th Konoe down to the 100,000-strong Eastern Japanese army, the entire Japanese army was wiped out. Even the 14th Konoe himself was killed with blood. However, for the 14th Konoe, whose hands were stained with the common people of the Celestial Dynasty,
Blood's executioner, Blood Killing did not let him die happily. After cutting off the hands of Konoe Fourteen, Konoe Fourteen was almost beaten by Blood Kill with a huge butcher's knife.
Meat Sauce. When Zhang Cangxiong arrived, only one head was left in the body of the Fourteenth Guards. Even a veteran like Zhang Cangxiong couldn't bear to look at it.
The defeat of Konoe Fourteenth caused Kawamomo Shinoda to lose the motivation to continue fighting. After paying the price of dozens of battleships, Konoe Fourteenth led the remaining 30,000 naval divisions down the river and fled directly.
When we arrived at Dongbo's naval base in Qiongya, Qingfeng's naval warships were basically inland ships, while Dongbo's warships were all sea-going ships. If the battle was on an inland river, then the relatively flexible Qingfeng Navy would naturally
It is a huge advantage. But above the sea, the more stable Dongbo Navy can better exert its combat effectiveness. In addition, the Qingfeng Navy is a coalition of three armies after all. Neither Li Fengcheng nor Aibin has any intention to pursue and kill, and Zhang Cangxiong only has in his hands.
There were more than 30,000 naval forces left. If we pursued them, it was still unclear who would win, so we had to give up. However, even so, Shouzhou, which had been lost for two years, returned to the hands of the Zhang family.
After capturing Shouzhou, the Hetao-Huaishui Allied Forces pounced on Raozhou without hesitation. But Zhu Zhao's sense of smell was so flexible. As soon as Shouzhou City fell, he led all the troops of the Holy Sect of Paradise in Raozhou to approach Raozhou.
The 300,000-strong army returned to Yangzhou Road at full speed after burning Raozhou with fire. However, their way back was not a smooth road. The 40,000-strong cavalry of Zhu Shitan and his four men frantically attacked the army of the Holy Sect of Paradise along the way.
Try to slow down the opponent as much as possible. After Xuesha Fengjing heard the news, he also mobilized all his cavalry to come to help in the battle.
However, Zhu Zhao is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Among the 300,000 troops under his command, the Pinglang Legion is one of the oldest legions of the Holy Sect of Paradise. It has basically not suffered any damage over the years, but Pinglang is the best at it.
Defensively, their combat effectiveness is much better than that of the army led by Zhu Zhao himself. Wan Chengdong's 50,000 soldiers are the elites carefully selected from the more than 100,000 troops of the Holy Sect of Paradise who were left on Yangzhou Road, and their combat effectiveness is also
They are not weak at all, and with the cunning and insidious Zhu Zhao and Minghui who was seriously injured in Xia Ling County but did not know how to escape, even the crazy attack of more than 100,000 cavalry in Hetao could not stop the return of the Holy Sect of Paradise.
road. By the time Dugu's infantry brigade caught up, Zhu Zhao's army had all entered the Yangzhou Road area. But even so, Zhu Zhao still paid the price of more than 50,000 soldiers. Picture of the deputy commander of the Pinglang Army who was responsible for the breakup
Xian Ye died in battle with honor. And Zhu Shitan and others' massacre in Jinzhou and Meizhou these days almost completely swept away the plains of the two states. At least 600,000 Jie Le people were massacred by the Hetao cavalry. If
Taking into account Haotian's achievements in Linzhou at that time, the number of people of the Paradise Holy Sect who had completely shrunk back to Yangzhou Road was less than 6 million, most of whom were old people, young women, and children. The number of troops also dropped to about 400,000, and their combat effectiveness
The situation is uneven. The once glorious Holy Sect of Paradise has declined and is no longer able to maintain its usual pressure on the surrounding Tiandu Shengjing and Huaishui Zhang Family.
Considering that the current strength of the Zhang family is still a bit weak, without the support of the Hetao army, it may be difficult to cope with the full counterattack of the Holy Bliss Sect. And if the Zhang family is in trouble, Tiandu Shengjing will definitely not send troops to assist, and maybe they will
Will add insult to injury. Haotian specially ordered Dugu and Xuesha Fengjing to lead the army and wander around Yangzhou Road. The shadows of Xuesha and Fengjing Iron Hoof completely enveloped Yangzhou Road, and the infantry led by Dugu also defeated the Holy Sage of Paradise.
Step back. In half a month, if it were not blocked by the lonely hills, the Hetao army would most likely have crossed Yangzhou Road from Jinzhou and directly reached the Holy Capital of Paradise.
However, this tour of the Hetao Army has indeed seriously weakened the strength of the Holy Sect of Paradise. The Jinzhou and Meizhou areas to the west of the Lonely Hills are basically deserted and littered with corpses. The young and energetic Shengma must watch the Hetao Army.
Such arrogance, but Zhu Zhao and other senior generals in the army insisted on avoiding the war. On impulse, they led 50,000 soldiers from the Holy Land of Paradise to Meizhou, preparing to weigh the strength of the Hetao army. As a result, they were lonely.
On the edge of the hills, he collided with 30,000 elite Hetao infantrymen led by Dugu himself. After a great battle, Shengma Bi, who had been completely defeated, fortunately made a decisive decision and abandoned the more than 20,000 defeated soldiers and led the rest of the soldiers to retreat into the lonely hills.
, and thus escaped the pursuit of the Hetao army. From then on, no one in the Holy Sect proposed a head-on collision with the Hetao.
"Father-in-law, after this battle, the Holy Scriptures of Paradise have severely damaged their vitality. In a short period of time, they will no longer have the ability to expand externally. And if they want to return to their former glory, they will need at least three years to recuperate. However,
Father-in-law, you should not take it lightly. The Huai River is a place of hundreds of battles. South of the river, the Huai River is one of the most fertile places. Especially now, when all the forces in the surrounding area are preparing their troops, father-in-law, you should pay more attention." Hao.
Tianxu said naggingly.
After resting in Danzhou for a few more days, seeing that it was almost August, Haotian was preparing to return to Hetao. He felt like an old woman now. How could Zhang Cangxiong, a powerful figure in his generation, not understand these truths. But if I don’t explain it,
He couldn't let go.
Zhang Cangxiong smiled boldly: "Haha, you don't have to worry about this. As long as I am still standing on the land of Huai River, nothing will happen to Huai River. Don't worry about Raozhou and Shouzhou. I have already
The Yellow Turban Army and the newly recruited 50,000 soldiers were placed there. As for the west, unless someone openly rebels, there will be no big problem. However, someone has already done such a stupid thing once, so it is unlikely that anyone will do it again.
The second time.”
Haotian nodded and said: "That's good, father-in-law, if something happens to Huai River, then we will fight if we can and retreat if we can't. No matter when, we in Hetao will never forget Huai River's kindness to us over the years."
"You are my son-in-law. If I don't take care of you, who should I take care of? But you must also be careful, Cassimbas, he is an undefeated general with a long-lasting reputation." Zhang Cangxiong said worriedly.
Haotian smiled indifferently: "Father-in-law, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Since ancient times, the new people have prevailed over the old ones. The reason why Cassimbas has been outside the Great Wall for sixty years is because he did not encounter our Hetao. From the Battle of Hukou to the Battle of Xuzhou
, we have always been evenly matched. This time, we are going to break his myth."
"With such confidence, you are worthy of being the overlord of one party." Zhang Cangxiong said approvingly.
Haotian didn't say much. He just took the cup of farewell wine from Zhang Cangxiong's hand and drank it all in one gulp. With flags flying, the more than 200,000 Hetao troops and the 100,000 women from the women's battalion slowly embarked on their way back north.
Looking at the heroic Zhang Yuewan next to Haotian, Zhang Cangxiong's eyes were a little moist. That was her only daughter, but now she will go to Hetao with Haotian. Unlike before, she would come back after a while.
Once, I'm afraid it will last a lifetime.
Zhang Yuewan seemed to be aware of it, and turned around, just in time to see Zhang Cangxiong's burly figure like a mountain. The horse's hooves stepped lightly, and the father and daughter gradually drifted away. However, neither of them thought that this would be the last time they met.
.That generation of tycoons who once dominated the southeast, that passionate and heroic Prince Weiyuan, that old man with hazy eyes who looked at Zhang Yuewan's figure heading north, did not wait until the day of Haotian and Zhang Yuewan's wedding.
The route of the Hetao army this time was to go north from Danzhou, along the edge of Tiandu Shengjing, into Yuzhou Luqiuzhou, and then in Luozhou with more than 10,000 cavalry led by Xinke and the people evacuated from Tiandu Shengjing.
Enter Kangzhou on Qinchuan Road and return to Dingzhou, Hetao from Yinfeng Castle in Hanzhou.
Because the number of soldiers in Hetao is too large and the speed is slow, it will take about two days to reach Qinchuan. Haotian has already sent a greeting to the Li family in advance. Li Tieming has not responded yet whether he will give way to pass, but Haotian
There was no interest in waiting for his reply. After joining the Xingeng Cavalry in Luozhou, there were more than 200,000 soldiers, 100,000 women's battalion, more than 2,000 family members of meritorious nobles, and more than 300,000 soldiers from Tiandu Shengjing.
The homeless people who retreated directly entered the territory of Kangzhou.
The Dragon Cavalry Legion is currently handing over defense to Emperor Zhongxing near Tiandu Shengjing. Tiandu Shengjing’s current military strength is extremely empty, but Emperor Zhongxing is extremely worried about the Dragon Cavalry Legion and simply throws it to Haotian. It’s just that
It will take some time for them to hand over the troops to the Eastern Legion, so they cannot go with Haotian for the time being.
Regarding the arrival of Haotian, Li Tieming also had a headache. If he did not let the other party pass, let alone the other party had already entered Kangzhou, he would not be able to let the other party go back. Even with the virtue of the Hetao army, he could not afford to offend him.
The vanguard in the Hetao is Dugu Yuming, a gangster who is famous all over the world today. If he is angered, who knows if he will directly attack the city all the way to the Yinfeng Castle? Besides, Haotian returns to the Hetao and the Yinfeng Castle
It is the only way to go, and it cannot be justified not to let it go.
If we get out of the way, the total strength of Qinchuan is only 350,000, and they are still stationed in the six states of Qinchuan. What if Hetao has evil intentions? The combat effectiveness of the Hetao army is already extremely powerful. If they are allowed to cooperate inside and outside,
Once Yinfeng Castle is breached, the Li family is basically doomed.
Fortunately, Li Tieming also has a good son. After Li Xiaomo knew his father's worries, he didn't say anything. He set off directly from Ezhou with one man and one horse, and intercepted the Hetao army in Kangzhou. He and Haotian
They have a deep friendship, and since the Battle of Hukou, he, Chu Lianfeng and others have become trustworthy friends in Hetao. With him, the crown prince of Qinchuan, coming forward, things that were originally inconvenient to coordinate between the two parties suddenly became much easier.
In order to show his sincerity, Li Xiaomo generously expressed his willingness to be responsible for all the food and grass supplies for the two days along the Hetao group. The Hetao also reciprocated the hint. This time he just wanted to go home as soon as possible and would not do anything on Qinchuan Road.
stay.
Dugu cursed bitterly: "This kid Li Xiaomo is so sinister. He said he took the initiative to take charge of our food and grass. Could it be that with the innocent conduct of our Hetao army in Qiu, we would rob them?"
Xue Sha was also dissatisfied and said: "That's it. Judge the gentleman with a villain's heart. But Du Shuai, where are Long Zhishan and Zhou Jilong?"
On August 3, 623, Haotian, who had been fighting south of the river for more than two years, finally faced the first ray of sunshine in the morning and was the first to step out of the gate of Yinfeng Castle and set foot on the land of Hetao. Look.
Looking at the dark wilderness welcoming the crowd to the north of Yinfeng Castle, Haotian suddenly burst into tears.
