Chapter 100: Dong Hou
(Thank you 20272027 and thank Xingye for their generosity, people are holding a meeting in Nanjing, and they can only barely maintain normal updates, and they can't add more to express their gratitude...... )
Seeing that Zhou Jun and Shen Kun were not fatally injured, Chen Hai was like a bloody man, but his spirit was not shaken off, Zhao Ruyan was secretly relieved, but at this moment, seeing them like this, he was also speechless, and scolded:
"You bastards, how dare you take a wreck!"
He took out two bottles of healing elixir from his arms and threw them over, and then asked Ding Shuang and other military attachés who were not so seriously injured to accompany him to the city tower to arrange defense to prevent reinforcements from attacking this side in the direction of Hechuan Ridge.

Seeing that there were higher-level generals in the Wuwei Army, and they also followed Chen Hai's advice to accept them, and even directly appointed them without suspicion, Ding Shuang and the others were also at ease at this time, and began to gather the fleeing Minyong separately, restore order in the city, and supervise those defeated soldiers who surrendered and the clans that fled south.
The city was not so chaotic, and the armor was almost confiscated, and soon Zhang Huaiyu and Li Xianghai were also surrounded by dozens of guards and rushed to the south city tower to take a look.
They didn't encounter any powerful obstacles along the way, and they almost took Chishan City without bloodshed, but seeing the blood stains on the top and bottom of the South City Tower, as well as the broken arrows and broken blades all over the ground, and the mountains of dead corpses, it is not difficult to imagine how dangerous and tragic Chen Hai and them relied on this little manpower to defend the South City Gate for a day.
"Okay! You are all the first to win this battle!"
Chen Lie has such a nephew, Zhang Huaiyu is naturally very jealous in his heart, but he has to praise it on the surface, otherwise what can he do?
This battle was too terrifying for Chen Lie's prestige bonus in the eastern flank! Who would have thought that Chen Lie would have such a wicked nephew who dared to use strange tricks and could perform miraculous feats?
And such a nephew, the outside world is regarded as a waste, and only Chen Lie raises and uses it, and even overrides public opinion, and enters him into the Chen family genealogy and accepts him as a "son-in-law", it seems that this battle has nothing to do with Chen Lie himself, but it also reflects Chen Lie's wisdom in employing people, which is the most important quality of being the commander.
Zhang Huaiyu felt bitter in his heart, and then sent several teams of elite cavalry to kill from the south gate of the sparse passage, looking for and annihilating the rout troops who fled south from the mountains on both wings, and expanded the results of the battle as much as possible.
*************************
At this moment, as the vanguard commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Qin Muhou and Dong Shouqin, the general of the Yulong Battalion, led 3,000 soldiers to kill a small group of deserters and appeared in Guniugang in the northwest corner of Chishan County.
Several spirit birds in the afternoon reconnoitred that there were a large number of routs in Chishan County, and the clans that fled south were stranded, and Dong Shou led three thousand elite soldiers to enter Guniugang at this moment, which was to prepare to attack Chishan City directly.
Considering that it is possible for the Hexiang Army to send the most elite small combat force from Hechuan Ridge to raid them after chasing and killing the defeated forward soldiers and horses, in order to restore the low morale of the Hexiang Army after the collapse of the northern defense line, in addition to Dong Shouqin, who is the general of the Jade Dragon Battalion and the powerhouse of the Dao Dan Realm, led 3,000 Dao soldiers to kill first, Dong Ning and other more than 200 disciples and principals of the Inner Sect of the Seven Peaks also dispatched with this cavalry battalion, which can be said to be the most elite cavalry of the Wuwei Army, to ensure that the combat power of this 3,000 people is the sharpest and sharpest of the Wuwei Army. The hardest spearheads, while the other soldiers and horses mainly slaughtered the routs and occupied the walled city within a depth of two or three hundred miles to the north.
At this time, a small group of cavalry galloped out of Chishan City, galloped to this side, waving the herald flag unique to the Jade Dragon Battalion.
More than a dozen knights galloped wildly, and shouted loudly to identify themselves: "The eastern wing of the Jade Dragon Camp is temporarily organized into a cavalry battalion, and Li Yulin, the captain of the patrol post in front of the tent, has reported that our department has captured Chishan City, captured more than 15,000 people from the rout and the children of the clan who fled south, please protect the general Dong Hou to review!"
Dong Shou stepped off his mount is a black cunning beast, and when he saw these dozen or so horsemen galloping out from the direction of Chishan City, they actually came to report the results of the battle, they were all stunned, and asked the generals on the left and right: "Chen Lie, that bastard, when did you send soldiers and horses to run ahead of us?"
Dong Ning was riding a bluehorn beast, following his father Dong Shou, thinking that Chen Hai was the deputy envoy of the Jade Dragon Camp and the nephew of Chen Lie, the Marquis of Zhaoyang Pavilion, and Chen Hai suddenly went out of the mountain two months ago to practice, and I heard that he was also included in the East Wing of the Jade Dragon Camp Soldiers and Horses, so I didn't know if he was in Chishan City.
Because she was afraid that others would make fun of old things, Dong Ning never mentioned being "bullied" in Qiyunling in front of her father and family, but at this time she was also curious, I don't know if Chen Hai has successfully opened up the Linghai Secret Palace in the past two months, and I don't know if if he will tell the secret of smashing the Liujia Secret Shield with a sword in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion when they meet again.
At this time, the two wings were divided into a dozen fine horsemen, and the people intercepted them, and after examining the seal, they brought one of them to them.
Dong Ning recognized that person was Li Yulin, who was also a disciple of the Inner Sect of the Upper Seven Peaks, and at this time, he was also serving in the east wing of the Jade Dragon Camp.
"I know you, you are Li Xianghai's nephew," Dong Shouhuan looked at Li Yulin with interest, there are more than 100,000 elites in the Jade Dragon Battalion, and there are only more than 20 generals who have stepped into the Mingqi Realm, Dong Shou is naturally familiar with Li Xianghai for a long time, and he also recognizes Li Yulin as an outstanding son of the younger generation of the Li family, leaning over and asking, "I and the Dadu Protector General's Mansion ordered Chen Lie to lead the troops to cover the flank, and there is no task to chase the enemy and kill the defeat, why did you come here?"
Li Yulin said: "Back to Dong Hou, the soldiers and horses on the east flank strictly guarded the general's orders and strictly guarded the flanks, but to prevent the enemy from raiding, the deputy envoy of the capital protection consulted with the generals, and specially formed a cavalry battalion to expand the reconnaissance range on the flank, and finally sought to destroy the enemy's main force in Chishan City. ”
Dong Shou didn't believe Li Yulin's words, and thought in his heart, Chen Lie led the main force of the east wing with 30,000 elites to guard the north of Yanchuan Mansion City, and the reconnaissance cavalry camp on the east wing could patrol five hundred miles to the south?
And why was there such a scale of rout, and the clans that fled south were stranded in Chishan City, so that they were successfully captured by Chen Lie's cavalry battalion?
Dong Shou and the generals couldn't figure out what was going on, but it was easy to say anything after winning the battle, and Chen Lie couldn't blame Chen Lie for sending the reconnaissance cavalry battalion too far and capturing tens of thousands of people in front of them, right?
**************************
In the early stage, the Wuwei Army only planned to advance to the first line of Chishan City or a little south of the mountains, and for the time being, it had no intention of risking a direct offensive on the Hechuan Ridge line, which was two or three hundred miles away and had been operated by the Hexiang Army for two or three hundred years.
Since the sentinel cavalry battalion of the soldiers and horses on the east flank had already occupied Chishan City, and it would take two or three days for the main force of the follow-up infantry to advance here to the south, Dong Shou also decided to lead his troops into Chishan City first, and he was also very curious in his heart, it was very easy for the sentinel cavalry battalion on the east wing to go around in front of them and occupy Chishan City, but how could they capture all the 14,500 defeats so accurately.
You must know that after breaking through the city of Yanchuan Prefecture, he personally led the most elite 3,000 soldiers to chase and defeat in a day and a night, killing and surrendering prisoners, which was a little more than 10,000 people!
Dong Shoudu wondered if Li Yulin and the others had falsely reported their military exploits.
This is also normal, those in high positions can't be too demanding, and afterwards, the battalion will send people down to count and check, and they will not report how many achievements will be reported below, and the battalion will accept it all.
At this time, in Chishan City, the ordinary people who had fled had already been combed and driven to Xicheng to be temporarily imprisoned, and then repatriated to their hometowns after further combing; the generals who had fled from the army, the children of the clans who fled south, and the private guards were all concentrated in the northeast corner of Chibei City as the focus of prisoners, and were directly under the supervision of the elite of the sentry cavalry battalion on the east wing.
Dong Shou climbed the North City Tower surrounded by the generals, and looked at the black crowd under the city, although the armor was confiscated, but none of these people were old and weak, women and children mixed in the water to fish, and he knew that even if the battle achievements here were a little bluff, they were extremely limited.
In this battle, the Dong clan did not have the luxury of directly defeating and annihilating the Hexiang army, first, it was too late, and the Dong clan faced serious threats in the west and north, and could not use troops in the south for a long time.
In addition, not only will the Imperial Heavenly Council not sit idly by, but the Musashi army south of the Hexiang Army will not sit idly by and watch the Wuwei Army annex the Yanchuan Prefectures and stand still, the most fundamental purpose of this battle is to weaken the Hexiang Army and strengthen the Wuwei Army as much as possible.
At this time, whether it was the effective annihilation of the living combat power of the Hexiang Army, or the capture of a large number of battle surrenders, the significance was extremely important, and the significance in the later period was even more significant.
"Okay! good!" Seeing this scene, Dong Shou applauded repeatedly, and no longer went to the east wing patrol cavalry camp to go five hundred miles south, and he and the orders of the Dadu Protector General's Mansion were a little disobedient, and let Zhang Huaiyu, Li Xianghai, and Zhao Ruhui come to him, and asked, "You should tell me how you made this miraculous feat, but don't fool me and say, these people are dizzy, and they forgot to continue to flee south when they fled to Chishan City, and waited for you to come and take prisoners!"
"The last general will not dare to deceive Dong Hou......"
Although Zhao Ruhui is not the main general, he is the oldest, and Zhang Huaiyu didn't want to pinch his nose to praise Chen Lie's nephew's military exploits, so he asked Zhao Ruhui to step forward and state everything that happened in Chishan City.
After the outbreak of the war, the enemy army sent a large number of reconnaissance cavalry to the southern foot of Yulong Mountain, Chen Hai could not return to the camp, and chose to continue to look for fighters in the depths of the Chishan line. After that, Chen Hai led his troops to disguise the messenger of the Hexiang Army into Chishan City, secretly controlled the families of Ding Shuang and other military attachés defending the city as hostages, and in the name of defending the city, a large number of southbound soldiers and clan children were blocked in Chishan City, until Zhang Huaiyu, Li Xianghai, and Zhao Ruhui led reinforcements to arrive......
The whole process is a bit bland, but Dong Shou generals are all veterans who can fight well, and it is naturally not difficult to guess that the danger is still alive, and a business trip is a complete loss.
After listening to Zhao Ruhui's words, the generals who entered Chishan City with Dong Shou were still afraid, not to mention Chen Hai, a low-level military attache who had just stepped into the Spirit Clearing Realm, even if they were the powerhouses of the Enlightenment Realm, leading more than a hundred elites, they would not dare to use such a dangerous trick lightly.
Everyone knows that those who dare to use this strategy do not rely on how high their cultivation is, but on the earth-shattering courage and extraordinary skill to control the situation even after thinking about it later.
"When did Chen Lie have such a nephew who was so bold that he dared to swallow the sky, how did I not know?" Dong Shou asked with a clap of his hands and laughter.
