Perhaps the generals and soldiers below do not have such a far-sighted vision, but even they know that the Great Chinese Army is powerful and inviolable. This is enough to show that the strength of the Great Chinese Army has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is no reason to dominate the world.
The number of dead and injured prisoners reached a terrifying 300,000 people. When Wu Hu got this result, he knew that the loyal army was finished. Not to mention that they wanted to threaten the imperial capital, they were able to defend the three places of Luzhou. It's not an easy thing.
Although Tang Qingchuan escaped during this battle, Wu Hu was not worried. He knew that the Shanshan Guards who had been waiting for him on his way back would definitely give the loyal king's army a good look and make this self-proclaimed world's strongest operative The British emperor knew how stupid it was to try to take advantage of Dahua.
Wu Hu believed in the Shanshan Guards, or the soldiers and civilians of Dahua believed in the Shanshan Guards, and they did not disappoint everyone. In three days, nearly 20,000 of the 50,000 loyal king's cavalrymen had been killed. people.
The remaining 30,000 soldiers, led by the cavalry general Pan An, flew all the way to Luzhou while protecting Tang Qingchuan, who had lost his legs. Like a frightened bird, they did not dare to look back for a moment.
It should be said that Tang Qingchuan has invested a lot in cavalry over the years. He also dreams of having a powerful cavalry team like the Shanshan Guard and Canglang Camp.
Not only are the personnel of the fifty thousand elite cavalry carefully selected, but their weapons are also the most sophisticated. It is no exaggeration to say that the money and energy invested in these fifty thousand elite cavalry are enough to build another three-level army. An infantry team of 100,000 people, and a relatively elite one.
If such a cavalry team has the opportunity to fight head-on with the Shanshan Guards without interference, even if it is defeated, it will not be defeated too miserably. Even if it is defeated, it will take a piece of the Shanshan Guards. Here comes the meat.
But it is a pity that this battle was originally unfair. The elite cavalry of the loyal king's army could not perform at their normal level. The task they received from the beginning was not to defeat them head-on, but to entangle their opponents and fight for the British. The emperor's departure creates opportunities and breaks out a bloody path.
They couldn't form formations like normal training, and they couldn't rely on each other. Some of them just kept fighting forward. They even braved the powerful bows and crossbows of the Shanshan Guards in order to carve out a bloody path. A deathlike charge.
There was no chance for tactics to be put to use, and no matter how good the army was, it would become a rabble. The corpses and blood of 20,000 cavalrymen were scattered on the ground, turning into a bright red, turning into a torrent, and opening up a path of life.
Yuan Xin, the commander of the 2nd Tempest Brigade of Shanshan Guard, who was riding a horse, watched this scene silently, watching the cavalry of the loyal king's army gradually disappear, and issued an order to stop the pursuit.
"A trapped beast still fights." Yuan Xin is still clear about this truth. If he leads the army to rush forward at this time, he will indeed be able to leave more loyal cavalry behind, but they themselves will also pay a high price.
On the contrary, if these cavalry were allowed to leave, they would have been frightened out of fear, and their fighting spirit and courage would have been severely damaged. Such an army could no longer become the enemy of the Shanshan Guards.
Maybe when they meet next time, just hearing their names, these people will be frightened and stop moving forward.
This is what the emperor meant by subduing the enemy without fighting.
"Let's go to Anping County and kill all the way there. If we find any loyal troops who have escaped from there, we will kill them if they don't surrender." Yuan Xin drew his horse and left. Cavalry versus infantry was what they were most willing to do. He liked it.
He liked the crushing feeling of the bright silver gun piercing into the enemy's chest with the help of speed.
Facts have proved that Yuan Xin's choice was correct. When he led his army back to Anping County, he captured more than 50,000 people from the Zhongwang Army and shot more than 3,000 people. The harvest was nearly four times their own strength.
As a result, the young soldier gained unparalleled military merit and gained a lot.
...
When Tang Qingchuan came to his senses completely, the army had already retreated to the border of Luzhou.
After losing his legs, Tang Qingchuan fell into coma several times. Although he woke up during the run, he was still in danger at that time and could not issue any orders.
Under the treatment of several highly skilled doctors, he finally managed to save his life, and when his vital signs began to return to normal, he realized that the army had been defeated.
To be precise, they were defeated miserably. Of the 500,000-strong army that left, only less than 150,000 came back, and among them, they outflanked the 30,000 cavalry who had been frightened out of their wits.
When the results were placed in front of him, Tang Qingchuan said nothing. He did not blame anyone, but anyone could see the gloom in his eyes. He was frustrated.
The original ambition was completely wiped out in one battle. There was no chance of realizing the dream of a lifetime. This kind of blow was the biggest blow.
Returning to the Qingzhou Palace without saying a word, Tang Qingchuan quickly issued his first decree after the defeat, which was to hand over the throne to his only son Tang Yi. He handed over all his power and became the emperor.
A person of the highest level.
Thinking about it, a disabled man who has lost his legs seems to be inappropriate in the main hall of the palace and giving orders.
Tang Yi inherited the throne and was known as Emperor Qian'an to the outside world, which seemed to be explaining to the outside world that he just wanted to be an emperor who would bring peace to the country and the people.
After Tang Yi came to power, the three states of Lu, Hui, and Su adopted a state of seclusion, and 90% of the roads connecting them to the outside world were closed, becoming a completely isolated force.
What Emperor Qian'an did made the ministers of Dahua breathe a sigh of relief. After there was no threat from the east, they could concentrate on doing more things, such as expelling the Tartars and killing all the people who had spied on them.
Yes, all the aliens who brought harm to them were expelled from the original Daqian land.
To get back everything they had lost, they still have to get it back as Bengali.
...
In the south, thunder suddenly broke out, waking up countless people in their dreams.
Jiaozhou changed hands and became part of Great China.
His movements were so fast that he caught all unaware people off guard.
No one would have thought that when Xu Kun and Liu Cao led an army of 100,000 to join the war, they did not surrender, but instead went to occupy the place.
I remember how many people were envious of Xu Kun's decision to join South Vietnam when it came out, but now, this idea has completely disappeared.
Without any precautions, Xu Kun's 100,000-strong army would occupy the city after entering a city to rest. As a result, the majestic land of Yizhou was captured without any precautions.
The poor South Vietnamese army was not only defrauded of a state of land, but also deprived of a lot of food. In the end, they lost one man and lost everything.
As soon as this incident came out, everyone's vigilance towards Dahua increased several notches. Their imperial capital had just been surrounded and attacked, and they were still thinking about expanding their territory. How big is this? Only the heart can do this.
How can such a great power be so easy to defeat?
Qiu Suisui, who brought his army to Dianzhou, was even more angry. He originally thought that he had an extra 100,000 troops, but he never expected that he would lose a whole state.
Now that it's better, the situation in Dianzhou has not been consolidated, and Jiaozhou has been lost. Doesn't that mean that the South Vietnamese Army has become dangerous?
Especially when new battle reports came, that is, the Zhongwang Army was defeated in front of Anping County. Emperor Qianying's legs were blown off. He vomited blood and was escorted back to Luzhou by his subordinates. The so-called attack on Liang was completely announced. After the failure, Qiu Suisui had a bad feeling, that is, the Dahua Army, which had already freed up its hands, might set its next target on itself.
Qiu Suisui, who originally thought about retaking Dianzhou from the Canglang Camp, gave up his original idea under siege from two sides, and immediately retreated from Picheng, and was even prepared to return to South Vietnam at any time.
This has always been the case with foreign races. When the Central Plains were strong, they would be as obedient as sheep, extremely docile, and would never tire of paying tribute every year.
But whenever the Central Plains is weak, they will jump out of the dark corners and think of using force to seek their own interests.
This has become a habit for them. Now that a powerful Chinese country has appeared in the Central Plains, and they have seen the rise and power of the Central Plains, they feel afraid and want to retreat.
Even when they were preparing to retreat, Qiu Suisui had already written a memorial to the King of Nanyue, to the effect that they could prepare to send envoys to surrender to Dahua. Only doing so would best serve their immediate interests.
Most newly established dynasties will choose to accept the offer of vassalage and tribute. After all, people will die in wars and a lot of money will be spent in wars. No one is willing to continue fighting unless necessary, especially the South Vietnamese in the Central Plains. In my eyes, it has always been synonymous with wilderness.
It's just that in Tang Ao's eyes, the same thing is not like this at all. For later generations, he is very clear about the importance of South Vietnam. Although the small country entrenched there is not very powerful, it is like a troublemaker. They are just like annoying fleas, always jumping around, not hurting but disgusting to death.
For the future, for future generations, and for Dahua's strength to remain unimpeded, Tang Ao decided to send troops to South Vietnam.
This decision was not difficult to make. It can be said that Tang Ao has decided to do it long ago. He knows very well that with his current influence in the army and Dahua, as long as he makes up his mind, others will unconditionally Support yourself. On the contrary, if another conservative monarch wants to make such a decision, he will face obstacles at all levels.
Regardless of the officials or the people, they are accustomed to a comfortable and peaceful life and do not want to cause any more trouble.
It can be said that history has placed this great responsibility on him, so Tang Ao must do something. This chapter has been completed!
