When Feng Jing arrived in Jinxiang, the battle was in full swing.
Trickbus discovered that the Hetao Cavalry had mysteriously disappeared, and Jinxiang City was captured by the Hetao in a sneak attack at night. Trickbus was not an idiot. He naturally understood where the Hetao Cavalry would go after disappearing, and he was dripping with cold sweat.
, while he sent someone to deliver a message to Cassimbas, he ordered all the strong Mandans who were gathering in the Tonglu area to gather in Jinxiang, and then attack the city at all costs.
Jinxiang, like Changhua, is a small city. The city wall is only three feet high. The perimeter of the city wall is limited. The 30,000 infantrymen in Hetao can completely defend the four sides. But even if Trikbus temporarily gathered the Tonglu area
The strong soldiers were brought to the gate of Jinxiang City, but the number was still as high as more than 400,000. Trikbus was also furious and attacked the city regardless of casualties. Fortunately, the Qilin Army was a frontier army that had been guarding the border for a long time, and its combat effectiveness was not bad.
Biao Han, Cheng Xiangxi, Yan Lege and others are also strong generals who can block a side. Moreover, they carry quite a lot of strategic materials, such as bows, arrows and tung oil. With the help of the civilians responsible for transporting the materials, there is no danger yet.
As soon as the Fengjing Cavalry arrived, it immediately caused chaos in the capital. These people were originally poorly organized. Although they attacked Jinxiang with enthusiasm, they were not regular soldiers after all. In the hands of Trickbus
There were not many regular troops, so naturally they could not withstand the attack of Fengjing's cavalry. As a result, the hunters who were in the midst of a siege suddenly became the prey of the Hetao cavalry. Under Fengjing's personal command, one hundred thousand cavalry attacked.
One hundred thousand of the attacking Baijing troops carried out a massacre.
Yes, it was a massacre! Because all the attention of Bai Jingjingzhuang was focused on the Jinxiang city in front, and he did not pay attention to the threats from behind. They were not regular troops in the first place, when the morale and blood they were proud of were lost in the bloody butcher knife.
After being destroyed, they immediately lost all the courage to resist and fled in all directions. Facing these strong soldiers who had no armor and no formal military training, Feng Jing was naturally not polite. Yan's lament in the city was timely.
Fighting out of the city made matters worse and became the straw that broke the camel's back.
Seeing that something was not going well, Trixbus pulled up the palace guards to protect his safety and began to flee. He was a royal prince, so naturally he could not live and die with these ordinary people.
Feng Jing did not pursue him. In his eyes, the real value of a simple-minded general like Trickbus, who was not as talented as Trickbus and had great ambitions, was not as good as the strong and powerful Bai Jing who were fleeing in all directions.
When the bloody battle arrived in Changhua, the battle was almost over.
The 150,000 Baijing elite responsible for the eastward attack were demoralized due to the general's escape, and this was the focus of the attack by the Hetao army. As a result, under the joint attack of Dugu, Xinke and others, the 150,000 soldiers quickly
It will disintegrate into ashes.
But here in Skovich, this Beijing-based veteran showed his tenacity to the fullest. Although the total force in his hands was only 70,000, he faced Jiang Chenzhou, Xue Qingcheng, and Dugu Yuming Xinke and others who later joined.
They took turns to attack, and although they suffered heavy losses, everyone from the generals to the soldiers fought desperately.
They are not doing it for the honor of the kingdom or making achievements, but for the simplest victory. Skovich knows very well that under such circumstances, he will not be able to successfully break through. Moreover, during the process of breaking through, the soldiers of Beijing
It is easier to be killed by the following Hetao cavalry. Instead of doing this, it is better to fight to the death with Hetao.
After decades of fighting on the battlefield, Skovich has long looked down on the ups and downs of the human world. Now, he has no thoughts in his mind and just fights mechanically until he dies on the battlefield.
"The soldiers of Beijing are indeed elite, but their morale and combat effectiveness are often maintained by the prestige and talent of their generals. A cowardly army may become an elite army in the hands of Cassimbas.
Master. And even an elite team that has fought hundreds of battles will turn into a group of lambs who only know how to be slaughtered when their belief is destroyed." Xuanji sighed.
Haotian agrees with Xuanji's view. Just like the 150,000 elite Baijing troops in the east, if any one of Kasimbas or Hekimul stays here, it will definitely take a lot of effort to annihilate them in Hetao.
The cost was high, and it was not impossible to suffer heavy losses even during the desperate battle. However, the general's escape before the battle completely destroyed the morale and confidence of this army, so that they quickly collapsed under the two-sided attack in the Hetao.
To eliminate them, the Hetao soldiers paid almost no price.
In comparison, the 70,000 soldiers here in Skovich are much tougher. Although Skovich is not leading the elite of Beijing, under his leadership, even if tens of thousands of soldiers die on the battlefield, there will be no
The people took half a step back. No matter how fierce the Hetao's attack was, they remained motionless.
The reason why Mandan is stronger than Baijing is reflected in this place. Because even if there are not good enough generals, Mandan soldiers can still fight to the end. One is a general and the other is a soldier. This is the difference between them.
"Let the Blood Commander and the Huben Legion also join in, otherwise the casualties of the soldiers may be huge." Haotian looked at it for a long time and finally made up his mind.
Luo Xiang glanced at Haotian and found that Haotian's face was a little melancholy. He immediately understood what Haotian was thinking. As a true soldier, Haotian admired the 70,000 soldiers led by Skovich. If he could,
Haotian naturally hopes to give the opponent a decent end. This is respect for the tough and powerful opponent, and also respect for himself.
If it had been in the past, Haotian would have definitely led an army to defeat him without hesitation. But in this case, no one knows how many soldiers would die on the battlefield. It seems that Xin Jiao's words are indeed very important to Haotian.
In order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, Haotian suppressed his thoughts.
The addition of the Huben Legion and the Blood Killer made the balance of forces between the two sides even more unequal, and the Xinke Cavalry's interspersed vertical and horizontal movements constantly collapsed Baijing's defense line and cut it into countless independent fighting areas. When Skavi
When Qi found that there were fewer and fewer soldiers under his commander's flag and more and more soldiers in Hetao around him, he already understood that everything should be over.
Finally, he took a look at the soldiers behind him who were tired but had extremely determined expressions. Even though Skovich had reached the age of Furui Fubo, he still couldn't help but burst into tears. He raised his weapon again, and thousands of soldiers stood in unison.
He shouted loudly and took the initiative to rush into the camp of the Hetao army.
The light of swords and shadows of swords stained the sky with blood.
"Let's see if we can find Skovich's body. He is old and strong. He was a man. It would be a pity if he was buried here with these ordinary soldiers." Haotian said lightly.
Xuanji shook his head: "No, there is probably no way. Skovich is the same as an ordinary soldier in terms of armor and clothing. It is only the white hair on his head that makes him different from ordinary people. But all the corpses are almost completely unrecognizable.
It was so red that it was impossible to tell which body was his."
Haotian was silent for a moment and said: "Forget it then. It's not a big deal. Maybe he himself feels that this is the most suitable for his status as a soldier."
In this battle, the Hetao soldiers lost nearly 70,000 people. The five legions led by Haotian personally had a total strength of 450,000. Now there are only 2.78 million left, which can be said to have suffered heavy losses. Dugu's White Tiger Legion has since
They have been fighting at the forefront since they left the fortress. There are 100,000 soldiers, but now there are less than 50,000 left, reduced to the level of a second-line army. However, no one dares to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the White Tiger Army. In the battle just now, it was the White Tiger Army
It withstood most of the pressure from Baijing and laid the foundation for the final victory in Hetao.
There were literally piles of corpses on the battlefield. The number of able-bodied men who died in the battle alone amounted to millions. The corpses of starved to death were piled densely around Hetao New City, raising the entire foundation several meters high.
"Sir, do we really defeat Cassimbas on the battlefield?" Haotian suddenly asked as he watched the soldiers in Hetao searching for the remains of their comrades among the many dead corpses.
Luo Xiang said with some distress: "Lord, I have also thought about this problem. Cassimbas was indeed defeated in this battle, there is no doubt about it. More than 200,000 soldiers were buried on the battlefield, and one million of them were killed by us.
, Baijing’s national strength was basically depleted, while our losses were not significant. From this aspect, we did win, and it was a big victory.”
Haotian said in surprise: "If that's the case, why are you worried again, sir?"
Luo Xiang sighed: "Under such circumstances, we still did not leave Cassimbas behind. With more than 200,000 cavalry chasing and intercepting us, we actually allowed Cassimbas to lead more than 50,000 cavalry and escape back to Shensha City. This is somewhat strange.
Pity."
"Sir, what you mean is that although we saw through Kasimbas's plan, we still couldn't defeat him head-on. We only defeated Hekimul and Skovich, because our company and Kasimbas faced him head-on.
There's no chance of a fight, right?" Xuanji said on the side.
Luo Xiang thought for a moment and said: "It can't be said that Cassimbas is the mastermind of their plan. His plan failed and he suffered heavy losses. This counts as defeating him."
Haotian smiled. He didn't expect Luo Xiang and Xuanji to be so careless about this matter. It seems that Hetao is indeed very interested in Cassimbas. After all, he can defeat the number one general outside the Great Wall with dignity. In this way
The temptation is really too great.
On the other side, Xue Sha and Dugu were very busy.
Xue Sha was lucky. When he returned from Shensha City, he happened to catch up with hundreds of Bai Jing's cavalry who had fallen behind. These people actually went directly to Bai Jing's secret supply point near Changhua. Xue Sha was immediately overjoyed and quickly let go.
Lou Jing and Dan Qiu quietly followed up and took control of the situation before the other party burned down the secret supply point. He is now leading his troops here, preparing to accept this unexpected result.
Uncle Dugu has already led his army to Puding. There are currently only 30,000 defenders in Puding City. Dugu mobilized all the troops under his command. When the news of Skovich's death in battle had just reached Puding City, he prepared to take down the city in one fell swoop.
Next, visit this most important city in the west of Beijing.
Luo Xiang pointed to the Hetao New City in front of him, which was almost filled with corpses, and said: "My lord, it is better to build this bone palace city here in Beijing."
Haotian nodded: "I think so too. Alas, Cassimbas still managed to escape back to Shensha City. Although he had known that the result would be like this, he is still a little melancholy."
Luo Xiang smiled slightly and said: "My lord, the food in Shensha City has been exhausted. Cassimbas is indeed an unparalleled general on the battlefield, but he is not a god after all. He cannot conjure food out of thin air. We only need to surround Shensha City.
, he will come out on his own."
Haotian nodded silently, that's all for now. The Battle of Changhua had a fatal impact on Bai Jing. After losing more than one million elite soldiers and 200,000 elite soldiers, Bai Jing no longer had any capital and
The Loop is clamoring. All Cassimbas can do now is to resist the attack of the Loop as much as possible and rack his brains to maintain the national destiny of Beijing.
However, the Hetao will not give them this opportunity. Haotian was indeed very soft-hearted when facing the Shenzhou people, but when facing the aliens outside the Great Wall, Haotian didn't know what it meant to be merciful. When the Northeastern Three Kingdoms took over Youyun Sixteen
For Haotian, the first thing he did was to order the killing of all the people in the dynasty. For Haotian, it was just a matter of treating others in their own way.
"Feng Wu and the Snow Lion Army went to Shensha City to assist Wu Xiaolangjun in sealing Shensha City. Not only are they not allowed to let a grain of food enter the city, but they are also not allowed to let a mouse get out of the city!" Haotian ordered decisively: "Hunter
The Eagle, Qinglong and Blood Killing Legions were separated to sweep the Shensha City area. In half a month, at the end of June at the latest, I don’t hope to see even a single Beijing-worshipping commoner south of Shensha City at that time.”
Hao Jin didn't know when he led Hao An and walked to Haotian. Hao Jin asked crisply: "Dad, can we kill all the aliens outside the Great Wall like this?"
Haotian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Hao Jin would ask such a profound question. After thinking about it for a while, Haotian said: "It's impossible. We can only try our best to kill them all, but the outside of the Great Wall is too big. No matter what we do,
If you work hard, they will all slip through the net.”
"Then what should we do in the future?" Hao Jin asked.
"The contradiction between us and the people outside the Great Wall is actually not irreconcilable. As long as we are strong enough, they will bow at our feet. However, we cannot remain strong forever, and as long as they have the ability, they will
Go south to rob. And once they go south, they will definitely suffer for the people. Therefore, we must take the initiative to nip their plan to go south to rob in the cradle." Haotian said.
Hao Jin thought for a while and suddenly said with a smile: "Before they go south to rob, let's break into their homes and destroy all their things, right?"
"Yes, that's basically it. There is no permanent strength, no permanent weakness. The world outside the Great Wall is too vast. It only takes more than ten years of recuperation before they can develop again. At this time, we need to take the initiative and destroy them first.
war power." Haotian said with a smile.
Hao Jin was thoughtful, while Hao An tilted his head and looked at his father. No one expected that Haotian's words would establish the Haotian Empire's subsequent attitude towards the aliens outside the Great Wall.
Just when Dugu conquered Puding City and Feng Jing and others' army was massacred in the central and southern areas of Baijing, good news also came from the Navy.
During the expedition against Jinhua Mitsukoshi last year, Shu Lan was ordered to lead a navy of 2,000 consisting of ten warships and transport ships along the coastline of Jinhua Mitsukoshi, bypassing the Maurya Dynasty, and heading to the remote southern coastal area of Sashan. This
The sea route only existed in legends, but Shu Lan was confident about it. Two thousand sailors braved the wind and waves, went through a lot of hardships, and took three months to reach Karachi, an important port northwest of the Maurya Dynasty.
Going further west here is the Qatar Desert that extends to the sea. And on the other side of the desert is naturally the border of the country.
Sashan did not have a navy, and they did not pay much attention to it, because they believed that their horses and scimitars were enough to allow them to gain wider land. They did not want to set foot in the sea until they conquered the land.
After arriving in Karachi, Shu Lan replenished enough food and fresh water and continued to drive west. Since he did not want to alert others, Shu Lan only stopped for a while in a few remote fishing villages to learn about the local situation.
Then he left quietly.
"Shu Lan has returned to the voyage? Where have they arrived? Let him go directly to Tiandu Shengjing and report his knowledge to Master Chu and the commander-in-chief. This is quite precious information and is related to the smoothness of our sea lanes in the future." Haotian.
Said very carefully.
Xuanji hesitated for a moment: "My lord, Shu Lan just sent a battleship back to report the situation. He wrote all the information in his logbook and copied a copy and sent it back. Now I'm afraid it has been submitted to Master Chu and the others.
in the hands."
Haotian was a little surprised: "A battleship? Then what is he doing? Does he still think that he can conquer the southern coastal areas of Sashan with only two thousand naval forces in his hands?"
"General Shu led the naval expedition westward along the coastline. He said in his report that he hoped to go further and leave more information to the empire."
"Does he want to go to the Western Continent?" Haotian said in surprise.
The Western Continent and the Central Continent and the Eastern Continent belong to the same continent, and the land passages are relatively sound. Starting from Tiandu Shengjing and heading east along the eternal trade route, an ordinary caravan will take about four months to arrive.
The Gallic coast in the far west of the Western Continent. If it were an army, it would take about a month and a half, even if no one stopped them along the way.
However, since ancient times, it has never been heard that one can reach the coast of the Western Continent by sea from the Shenzhou Dynasty. If Shu Lan succeeds, it will definitely be a milestone in the history of navigation.
"Shu Lan, this kid, really has the talent. Well, it would be good to go to the west and see, maybe we can actually make a path for him." Haotian said with a smile.
Haotian, Xuanji and others did not take Shu Lan's sudden expedition seriously. In their view, it was a good thing that Shu Lan could open up a sea passage. If not, then let the newborn
It is not a bad thing for the navy to go out and experience the baptism of wind and waves, but they did not expect that Shu Lan really found a path in the sea. A year later, the Dragon Legion followed this path and sailed to the westernmost point.
Facing the Gallic coast, troops overwhelmed the countries on the western continent.
