Li Xiaomo and Chu Lianfeng had no conflict with the four southern Yunnan tribes. Although the four southern Yunnan tribes had colluded with Jinhua Mitsukoshi to plot treason and self-reliance, and had also collaborated with the Jinhua Mitsukoshi coalition to send troops to the Great Lakes. However, even if there were no four southern Yunnan tribes at that time,
With the help of the tribe, the Jinhua Mitsukoshi Allied Forces were still able to enter the Great Lakes, but they just had to go through a lot of trouble. And independence in southern Yunnan was not a matter of a day or two. At least in the three hundred years since the founding of Qingfeng, there have been people in southern Yunnan.
More than ten times this happened.
However, no matter what reasons they had, colluding with foreign races to massacre their own people, treason and self-reliance, and trying to carve up the empire's territory, such behavior must not be tolerated. However, Haotian still couldn't be hard-hearted after all. Therefore, when the 700,000-strong army of Hetao pressed on
On the Xijiang defense line, there were only 100,000 soldiers from Mu Shan and Wu Bi Cangxiong in the entire southern Yunnan region. Later, Wu Bi Cangxiong was even transferred to Jinhua.
Hetao must destroy the four southern Yunnan tribes. This is not only Haotian's original promise, but also an explanation to all the people of China. If according to the current situation, after the Jinhua tribe is wiped out, the Hetao army will definitely go north to southern Yunnan.
In order to solve the last piece of ununified land in the empire. However, when the 700,000 troops move north, no matter how high the mountains and forests are on the southern Yunnan Road, they will not be able to escape the fate of annihilation of the whole family. It is obvious that Haotian does not want to see such a result.
arrived, so Haotian simply ordered Li Xiaomo and Chu Lianfeng to go north.
They have no grudges with the four tribes in southern Yunnan, and they are not as tough as Hetao and would rather break than bend. Therefore, when performing tasks, they will definitely not be able to truly eradicate the roots like Hetao. By then, how many natives on South Yunnan Road can escape will be determined.
Let it be God's will. If Haotian really wants to kill all the four ethnic groups in southern Yunnan, then he will definitely place a legion of soldiers at the junction of South Yunnan Road and Dahu Road to prevent the natives of southern Yunnan from escaping towards Dahu Road. Moreover,
Haotian will definitely use the Dingnan Army Corps, which has deep feuds with the four tribes in southern Yunnan.
The corners of Xue Sha's lips twisted into a smile: Actually, this may not be a good thing. In this way, the people responsible for annihilating the four tribes in southern Yunnan will become Li Xiaomo's Poli Legion and Chu Lianfeng's Zhulu Legion.
Even if someone slips through the net, when they are looking for trouble, they will first target Li Xiaomo and others. Although it is impossible for them to assassinate these two top figures among the top ten heroes of China, they will definitely bring them trouble.
There will be some trouble.
The Hetao army besieged the city, so that Jinhua's more than 200,000 troops were hoarded in Luqing City and did not dare to move. However, the Southern Army and the Yellow Turban Army made a lot of gains. Under the two armies, one from the south and the other from the north, several more were outflanked.
Millions of Jinhua people were either burned to death or massacred. Countless prisoners were escorted along the rugged mountain roads of Jinhua to the vicinity of Green Green City, and then became part of the Bone City.
With the Hetao army appearing on three sides, some smart Jinhua people began to flee towards the west. However, when they fled to the traditional area of the Death Forest, they were surprised to find that the originally continuous forest sea suddenly
A blank area up to ten miles wide appeared. Here, all the trees were cut down and then burned intensively, leaving only the bare earth and balls of ashes.
And when they entered the forest of death, they soon began to regret it. At first, they insisted that as long as they escaped to the forest of death, they would at least have a glimmer of hope. But now they discovered that they came here to try their luck.
It's really better to bet on the odds with the butcher's knife of the Hetao army.
The miasma is everywhere. As long as you take a few more breaths, you will soon feel dizzy, and then you will fall asleep and never wake up again. There are snakes, insects, rats, ants all over the jungle, and all kinds of weird things.
As long as one bite from this species, you may die. Moreover, it was impossible to tell the direction in the dark of the jungle. After walking for several days, I suddenly realized that I was still spinning in the same place.
Later, according to Qiu Mu's account, during that period, the number of Jinhua people who died in the outer areas of the Death Forest alone was as high as 340,000. But this is only an approximate number. How many people actually broke into this place?
It is unknown whether it eventually became part of the Forest of Death.
"For the record, Commander Blood, the main water source in Green Green City is well water."
"Then dig tunnels and cut off the source of well water from the other side. Wait and report the news to Dushuai immediately. Zhu Hongjian, a boy under Dushuai, is very good at this." Xue Sha thought for a moment and said.
"Commander Qi, we have cut down all the trees within a fifty-mile radius. The soldiers asked if we want to continue."
"Continue, Green Green City is quite large. I am very worried about whether these trees can reduce the entire city to ashes."
Although the city wall of Green Green City is not very strong, and because the defense front is too large, Golden Flower's troops are stretched thin, so it is easy to break into the city. However, there are at least 2.5 million Golden Flowers in Green Blue City now.
Once the common people fall into street fighting, it will definitely be a war of attrition. This is something that the Hetao side tries its best to avoid. Therefore, the Hetao side has never thought of attacking by force.
The water source was cut off not to make the people in the city die from lack of water, but to facilitate the subsequent fire attack in the Hetao.
Fire attack is naturally the best way to reduce casualties and pay the least cost. It is also the only way to completely annihilate the opponent.
After giving instructions for a while, Xue Sha finally gave up and left. Green Green City was indeed too big. If the whole city was to be burned down, the wood consumed would probably be able to pile up several hills. Fortunately, there is no shortage of trees in the Lingnan area, and there are many
Most of them are tung trees with high oil content. The most important thing is that now is the time when the tung seeds are ripe, and a large number of tung seeds are picked and dried by the soldiers, which will be used as an important material for burning the city later.
Around Luqing City, every 100 meters, there is a five-foot-high earth platform piled up. On it is the trebuchet made by Hetao overtime. And next to the earth platform, there are piles of tung seeds.
Below are countless trees that have been dried.
Just as Xue Sha turned around, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, and the rumble of war drums suddenly became louder. Xue Sha sneered, but still turned around and looked in the direction of Luqing City. He saw the gate of Luqing City suddenly opened, and countless
Soldiers holding shields and torches rushed out of the city gate, aiming directly at the large amount of wood piled in the Hetao. There was also a large amount of rockets on the city top. In the time it took at most one stick of incense, the Golden Flower soldiers guarding the city shot at least twenty
Thousands of rockets.
"What a trick! I knew you would do something like this!" Xue Sha snorted coldly. Park Zhicheng was not an idiot. He had obviously seen through the Loop's combat strategy, so he wanted to burn all the wood piled up in the Loop. Even if it could not be broken,
The idea of falling into a Loop can be delayed for at least another ten and a half days.
However, Luo Xianghe, Xuanji, the two top military advisers in Hetao, and Dugu Yuming, the infantry commander who is best at siege, are both outside the city. They have arranged all the trebuchets by themselves. Naturally, they have been prepared to prevent Pu Zhicheng from doing so.
One move, and corresponding countermeasures were taken. Park Zhicheng made several attacks. Except for the first time, which caused some trouble to the Loop, it had no effect afterwards.
Luo Xiang didn't know when he came to Xue Sha's side and sighed: "Pu Zhicheng is also a famous general of the generation, but in the end he fell to this point. It's so sad."
"When the generals on both sides have the same strategic wisdom, strength becomes an important factor in determining victory or defeat. Park Zhicheng's biggest mistake was to stick to the city. Although Luqingcheng is the royal capital of Jinhua, it is certainly rich in wealth.
Grain reserves and population resources, but in front of us, he does not have any strategic advantage at all. If the commander-in-chief is Park Zhicheng, he will definitely withdraw from Luqing City early in the morning, and then rely on the rugged mountains of Lingnan to resist our attack.
Just like in Jiurong City that day, but Pu Zhicheng did not have the courage after all, or Park Zongke did not have the courage, so they could only retreat to Luqing City and leave the initiative on the battlefield to us." Xue Sha looked calm.
said.
Luo Xiang nodded and smiled: "Actually, the art of military use is to constantly force the opponent, and eventually make the opponent give up his own strengths, and fight against our well-prepared side at the most inopportune time and place. Park Zhicheng is what he is today.
However, there is actually another key factor."
"One against four?" Xue Sha said with a smile.
Luo Xiang nodded silently. Luo Xiang and Xuanji are definitely the top strategists in the world today. Maybe in terms of specific marches and battles, they are not as good as Xue Sha and others, but in terms of troop formation and military planning, they are better
But they are by no means inferior. As for Xue Sha and Dugu, they have already proven with their brilliant records that they are the top famous generals in the Chinese mainland.
Although Park Zhicheng is a famous general of his generation, he is naturally overwhelmed when faced with four masters of war whose strategic wisdom is no less than his own.
Luo Xiang suddenly said: "The Golden Flower soldiers are about to retreat."
Xue Sha looked around and saw that although the flags on the towers of Green Green City were still waving, the attacking Golden Flower soldiers were already retreating rapidly. Apparently, they had no choice but to retreat because they were unable to complete the initial strategic plan.
"We have been prepared for a long time. Their repeated attacks will not have any impact on our army at all." Xue Sha said with a smile.
If a famous general like Xuesha Dugu cannot achieve surprise, it will be very difficult for him to succeed in a sneak attack. And if the same trick is implemented a second time in the same environment, the chance of success is almost zero.
The two were about to turn around and leave. Suddenly, the flags on the tower of Luqing City danced wildly, and the war drums that had stopped suddenly sounded. Like a thunderbolt from the blue, countless Golden Flower soldiers suddenly moved toward the main tent of the Hetao army.
Come, the first person is wearing golden armor, with a big flag flying behind him, and it is Park Zhicheng himself.
The Hetao soldiers had just repelled the sneak attack of the Jinhua soldiers. Now they were relaxed. They were caught off guard and were suddenly broken through two lines of defense by the Jinhua soldiers. The morale of the Jinhua army was even higher. Under Park Zhicheng's attack
Under the leadership, they rushed towards the location of Haotian's car, shouting loudly.
"You don't have to attack the enemy to save him, but capture the king! Pu Zhicheng is actually preparing to capture the king!" Xue Sha narrowed his eyes.
There were only over 200,000 Jinhua soldiers in Luqing City, but for this raid, Park Zhicheng dispatched at least 100,000 troops, and they were definitely the most elite troops of Jinhua. Therefore, Hetao was caught off guard as soon as they went into battle.
A smile suddenly appeared on Luo Xiang's face: "I actually wanted to use a tactical victory to save a strategic defeat. Yes, the number one general in Lingnan really has his own merits. We have underestimated him."
Xue Sha smiled coldly: "If we don't even have this level, then we will really be disappointed."
Pu Zhicheng's idea was good. It was impossible to break out of the encirclement. No matter where he went to the end of the world, the Hetao would definitely kill him. If he wanted to hold on, the Hetao army outside the city was not a vegetarian. He would wait for the opponent's partial divisions to clear out his own army.
After returning to the army and encircling Luqing City, it was even more difficult to fly. Holding on would mean death, and breaking out would also mean death. Therefore, Park Zhicheng had to find another way.
Although there are more than 700,000 troops in the Jinhua expedition to the south of Hetao, all the non-direct legionnaires have been sent out. Now around Luqing City, there are only 350,000 troops led by Haotian himself. But these three
There are 150,000 troops, and many people are cutting firewood. There are not many troops that can be used for defense. This also gives Park Zhicheng an opportunity.
If Haotian can be killed with one blow, then the military morale in Hetao will definitely be in chaos. Let’s not say whether the other party will have generals fighting for power and internal divisions, but it is obvious that the other party will have no intention of attacking the city. And with his high morale, he will
Fang is completely able to defend Luqing City with sufficient food supplies and soldiers.
It is not difficult to find Haotian's location. After all, the target of the Qingyun is too big. This luxury carriage that went through all kinds of hardships to reach Green City completely exposed Haotian's location, and now the opportunity is also
It's indeed good. On both sides of the Qingyun, apart from the 20,000 soldiers of the Tiger and Ben Legion, there is only one Phoenix Dance Legion, which is composed entirely of women. If the most elite troops in the country are mobilized for a raid, the probability of success is at least 70%.
above.
A famous battlefield general like Park Zhicheng is essentially a gambler. However, gamblers bet on money, and they bet on victory, and the price paid is the lives of countless soldiers. In order to attract the Loop
With his attention, Park Zhicheng specially launched a surprise attack, and he succeeded. At least the Hetao army, which had relaxed its vigilance, did not expect that he would approach at this time, so that he easily broke through the two lines of defense and killed him.
Arriving in front of the Qingyun.
"Soldiers, kill! As long as we kill Haotian, we will win!" Seeing victory in sight, even a famous general like Park Zhicheng was excited.
"Kill Haotian! Serve the country!" One hundred thousand Golden Flower soldiers roared in unison, which was quite impressive.
Watching the battlefield from a distance, Luo Xiang suddenly said strangely: "Commander Blood, are you not panicking at all?"
Xue Sha smiled slightly: "Sir, you are calm and composed, so why should I panic? Besides, there are 20,000 soldiers of the Huben Army beside my lord. It will not be easy for Park Zhicheng to break through their defenses. Humph, if we let him in front of us,
The Golden Flower Monkey broke through the defense line of the Tiger and Ben Army, so Zhao Dawu and Zong Buhua really deserve to die."
In order not to cause too much of a stir, Haotian went south with only 20,000 soldiers from the Huben Corps. They were led by the infantry commander Zhao Dawu and the cavalry commander Zong Buhua. Both Zhao Dawu and Zong Buhua were born in Qingyun.
The Qianqi garrison is Haotian's old subordinates. Zhao Dawu was once the commander of Haotian's personal soldiers, and he is definitely a good hand on the battlefield.
"If Park Zhicheng cannot break through the defense line of the Huben Army within a quarter of an hour, then his situation will be in danger." Luo Xiang said with a smile.
After all, the Hetao army is a battle-hardened elite. Although it was caught off guard by Jinhua, it quickly recovered. The soldiers of Hetao who were in front of Jinhua's attack relied on all the favorable terrain to fight to the death.
To resist, the soldiers on both sides of the Haotian camp were squeezing toward the middle under the command of the general. Now, the infantry of the Legion of Honor from the north and the White Tiger Army from the south were outflanking the Golden Flower Army.
"Damn it, what do you think of our Tiger and Ben army?" Facing the surging Golden Flower army, Zhao Dawu spat and cursed.
"Dawu, it's up to you here. Brother, I will go and kill for a while." Zong Buhua laughed loudly. I originally thought that escorting Haotian south was an extremely boring thing, but I didn't expect to encounter such a person here.
This is a tough battle, and Zong Buhua, who has always been eager to show off his power on the battlefield, is naturally overjoyed.
Zhao Dawu patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, as long as I, Zhao Dawu, are here, these golden flower monkeys can't even think of advancing even half a step!" With ten thousand versus one hundred thousand, although the other party cannot fully invest their troops, they can be so heroic and worthy of their reputation.
The elite soldiers of Hetao.
Zong Buhua laughed loudly, waved the long-handled sword in his hand, and shouted suddenly: "Brothers, the Lord is watching us from behind. Let these damn golden monkeys see the power of our Loop men."
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Thousands of soldiers roared in unison. Although the roar was not as loud as the roar of Jinhua's 100,000 troops, the generosity and heroism of a warrior who had fought hundreds of battles in his tone far suppressed the Jinhua soldiers.
morale.
"Get ready to throw your spear!" Zhao Dawu shouted loudly.
The throwing spears of the Tiger and Ben Legion are derived from the White Tiger Legion. This kind of throwing spear is extremely powerful. If a soldier throws it with all his strength, even the armored heavy cavalry outside the wall can pierce the opponent's armor. When the infantry throws it with all its strength with the help of running speed,
When he threw the spear, it was so powerful and heavy that even if the opponent's shield could be easily pierced, it was impossible to withstand it. Only bursts of screams were heard from the camp of the Golden Flower army, and all the Golden Flower soldiers were actually thrown
Crucified to the ground!
"Kill Haotian and serve the country!" the Jinhua soldiers roared fearlessly. Everyone's eyes were red. Without anyone's encouragement, they rushed towards the dense rain of arrows in the Loop as if they were crazy.
