Chapter 209: Good News
After only staying in Liangzhou for five days, the eldest princess led the rest of the people to Zaozhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition to General Lin, who was in charge of guarding Liangzhou, and about 20,000 soldiers under his command, Lord Qin also stayed behind, he was originally a Qincha, at least he had to wait for the order of Liangzhou officialdom to stabilize before leaving.
It is really the shadow of the name tree of people.
The allied forces of the two countries defeated the Hu army in Liangzhou, and the good news was transmitted to the state capitals at the fastest speed, and there were 800 miles of expedited horses sent to the capital.
The Hu soldiers and generals who were responsible for guarding Zaozhou first received the news that the female Khan King was seriously injured and dying, and now they learned that Liangzhou had returned to the Dadu Dynasty, plus in addition to the eldest princess who led the troops, there were also the children of the Yan family in the Western Underworld, all of whom were not good at stubble, and they suddenly panicked, and held an emergency military meeting overnight, and did not come up with a good charter, so they were even more panicked.
On the contrary, the morale of the soldiers of the two coalition armies was greatly boosted, and their prestige was even stronger, and even the Zaozhou soldiers who had been scattered before rushed back one after another, and spontaneously followed other soldiers to fight with the Hu soldiers.
In the face of the menacing coalition forces of the two countries, the Hu soldiers had no intention of fighting, and soon Zaozhou was captured, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Hu soldiers all folded their wings here.
Another good news spread through the state capitals and quickly returned to the capital.
After recovering Zaozhou, Duan Chen was told by the eldest princess to stay and deal with the aftermath. He begged Yue'er to stay with him, but Qin Yue refused his kindness.
Duan Chen was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it. He knew that this little girl was not a thing in the pool, and that she had her own way to go.
The eldest princess did not stop at all, and led her troops all the way south, following the route of the Hu people's attack on the Central Plains a few months ago towards Tongzhou.
Soon, many cities such as Bozhou and Yuanzhou were recovered, and more and more deserters gathered back from all directions and asked to rejoin the army.
They didn't want to be deserters before, but the generals were all dead, and they were left with a group of leaderless minions, who would have been killed by those fierce soldiers if they hadn't escaped first to save their lives.
In extraordinary times, the eldest princess, of course, did not blame the past, and incorporated all the deserters who came to defect into the regular army, enjoying the same treatment as other soldiers.
After all, in today's army, the soldiers of the Western Underworld account for the majority, and most of them have few soldiers and horses, and there are many soldiers left along the way to defend the city, so they urgently need to recruit troops and horses to expand the army.
What particularly touched the eldest princess was that the two generals of the Yan family were extremely cooperative, not only fighting bravely, but also strictly ordering the subordinate soldiers to obey the unified command of the eldest princess, and their words and deeds were full of the style of the generals, and they really deserved to be the generals of the Yan family!
Qin Yue sometimes meets with the two Yan generals, but they still don't know the truth, and the two generals who are over half a hundred years old always behave respectfully in front of her, intentionally or unintentionally, which makes Qin Yue very uncomfortable.
Could it be that they really think that they are the princess Ruifu of the Western Underworld?
Fortunately, there weren't many of them. Most of the time, Qin Yue either nested in the eldest princess's tent to read a book, or played chess with June. After all, she is only a teenage girl, although she has practiced a few hands of self-protection, but at this time, the situation is very good, and she doesn't need to take action at all.
The combined forces of the two countries were gaining momentum all the way and soon approached Tongzhou.
At this time, the number of soldiers had expanded to nearly 70,000, which was 10,000 more than when they set out from the Western Underworld, and this was not counting the number of troops that had been distributed along the way to garrison the city.
Due to the frequent good news, the situation on the battlefield in Tongzhou has long been reversed. Now it is not that the Hu army is afraid of attacking the city, but that they are afraid that they will not attack the city.
Yeqi hadn't moved for half a month, but there was no sign of withdrawing his troops, and he didn't know what the hell they were doing.
General Li looked into the distance with two bamboo tubes in his hand, only to see that the camp tent was flying, the cooking smoke was billowing, and a large number of figures were dangling from time to time.
Next to him stood Guo Yang and Qin Zheng.
Guo Yang later learned that his sword did not kill the female Khan King, and he regretted that his intestines were blue. If she hadn't been so confident, and had stuck a few more swords in her chest, the female Khan would have died, and if she hadn't, she would have withdrawn her troops long ago.
Although General Li felt pity, he did not blame him.
After all, no one thought that the female Khan King would be the right-hearted person, which is a 1 in 10,000 chance. This can only show that the female Khan King's life is great and should not be extinct.
After these days of training, Qin Zheng's mind has become more mature, he thought about it and said, "Perhaps, they are also waiting for reinforcements. ”
"Impossible, right?" Almost immediately, Guo Yang said firmly: "The eldest princess personally led the army all the way from Liangzhou to kill, and she had already intercepted their back road, and sent General Lin to guard Liangzhou, it is impossible for reinforcements to come." ”
"But don't forget, next to them, there is also a Beiyi." Old General Li's face was solemn, as if he had a premonition of something bad.
"Beiyi? What's going on with Beiyi? Guo Yang was born as a swordsman, and he has never been very good at foresight, so he was taken aback when he heard this, and there was a puzzled look on his face.
Qin Zheng took his words and said: "Beiyi and Beihu belong to the same northern territory, I don't know if there is an alliance between them, maybe Beiyi is more afraid that after we destroy the Hu barbarians, we will turn to attack them again, and it is inevitable that we will feel sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is ......."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but General Li understood it.
Beiyi, like the Hu people, is a fierce people. The difference is that the Hu people have always lived in the grasslands outside the Liangzhou Pass, while the Beiyi have lived in the deep mountains and dense forests for many years, and make a living by hunting.
Although the Beiyi tribe is small in number, they are all elite cavalry and archery, good at arranging formations, and seem to have no quarrel with the world, living a life of seclusion, but once they launch a madness, it is enough to destroy half of the Central Plains.
Since the founding of the country, the Dadu Dynasty has never dealt with them, let alone seen the Beiyi people. Even General Li only saw such a tribe from the map.
If Hu Manzi really said that the Beiyi tribe would go out of the mountain, then this war would not end at all in a short time.
For the sake of today's plan, only when this imaginary enemy has not yet appeared, it is the most convenient to leave all Yeqi's soldiers and horses here.
But it's easier said than done.
Even if the female Khan King is seriously injured and cannot command the battle at the moment, Yeqi himself is a ruthless character. He led 300,000 soldiers and horses into the pass, although there were a lot of losses along the way, but at present, even if there were no 300,000 men and horses stationed outside Tongzhou City, there were 2780,000.
And the soldiers and horses in Tongzhou City are full, and they are only 200,000.
Yeqi besieged but did not attack, and General Li did not dare to open the city gate and kill it. After all, Tongzhou is defended by virtue of the city's sturdiness, and once it leaves the city without a barrier, it is difficult to hold on, in case they break through the city gate, it will be a disaster.
Therefore, although General Li was anxious, he did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and only occasionally let the soldiers shoot rockets to harass and harass them to vent their anger.
Fortunately, the eldest princess has approached the same state, and it depends on how the eldest princess deploys!
