Chapter 45 Expansion of Territory

It was a bitter battle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Guan Hai's enemy was not the regular army of Xuzhou, nor the feared elite army of Zang Ba, but just an army similar to Xiangyong composed of the powerful soldiers of the big clan.

Although they resemble the townspeople, they have weapons and uniforms that are no less than those of the regular army, and even have five hundred horses in the camp. There was no doubt that if it were outside, there would be one-tenth of the cavalry in this army, which would be able to kill Guan Hai enough in the open field.

But now, the owner of these 500 Xuzhou ponies is in charge, and with it, there are a large number of baggage and armor that can arm more than 3,000 people.

More than 2,000 enemies were killed, and 5,000 people in the camp were killed by half of the Qingzhou army in Guanhai before finally surrendering.

When Xu Huang led the guards into the camp, Guan Hai was leaning on the wooden stake outside the camp tent to polish a newly acquired ring knife, and said to Xu Huang with a smile on his face: "General, more than 2,000 soldiers have been surrendered, and none of them have run out!" ”

"What about the casualties?" Xu Huang frowned and looked around, this victory did not make him happy, this Qingzhou soldier was cruel and brave enough, but it was too difficult to control. "For those armors?"

Guan Hai was stunned for a moment, he understood why Xu Huang was asking why he used such a tactic, and said indifferently with a smile: "More than nine hundred dead." ”

This is not a victory, in Xu Huang's eyes.

If Guan Hai had only ordered a single wing of soldiers and horses to join the battlefield after the first charge, leaving room for the enemy to escape, it would have been entirely possible to limit the casualties to less than five hundred.

surrounded by four times the enemy's soldiers and horses, killing and wounding more than 2,000 enemies and paying the price of more than 900 deaths...... The bravery of the Qingzhou Army is based on a kind of bloody courage without brains.

It's stupid.

"General, what do you think of my people?"

"They're brave." Xu Huang nodded and muttered: "It is indeed very brave, and the morale is even greater than that of the former Yellow Turban Army." ”

How high the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was, if it weren't for the fact that they were facing an unwinnable war, those civilians who put down their farming tools and picked up their weapons would fight until the last moment, even if every battle was to bathe themselves in blood.

This is not the case with the Qingzhou Army, which will laugh and sing before the battle starts, and still laugh and dance when the battle is over. They are not afraid of killing and being killed, and they can laugh and enjoy for a long time when they get a pair of leather armor...... Xu Huang did not have the slightest doubt that if King Liang sent the 20,000 people under Guan Hai's command to Liang Kingdom to create the most inferior standard weapons, they would dare to fight with any enemy.

"I know what you mean, General, if they are allowed to flee, it is very likely that so many people will not die, even if they are surrounded and intercepted on the road they must pass, it will be much less than this, but in the same way, these weapons and armor will also be much less, because the enemy may escape." Guan Hai shook his head and said, "Guan Mou doesn't know what you think about human life, General...... But for us, there may be too many deaths, so no one is afraid of death, and a life is not as valuable as this ring knife. ”

"When General Tiangong was the enemy of the world, our lives were not worth much, and every time we fought with officers and soldiers, we would die one by one, and then General Tiangong was gone...... No one cares about us, we don't care about ourselves, no one knows how long they will live, starve to death? Die? Died? Anyway, you can't die poor! Guan Hai smiled, and pointed to the Qingzhou soldiers who were collecting their ordnance in the distance and said, "Do you know how many such soldiers listen to me?" Qingzhou is generous and small, scattered no less than 200,000, Du Envoy Jun gave us fields and grain, and we gave him his life. ”

"Maybe a big man like you looks down on us outlaws, but life is like this, you can't save your life without a knife, and with a knife, you can not only save your life, but also live a better life." Guan Hai got up and blew on the sharpened blade of the ring knife and inserted it into the sheath of the waist loop. Xu Huang noticed that there were four scabbards hanging from his waist, "So money is not important, food is not important, those are just things necessary to live, and even life is not important." But knives are very important, and with knives you have everything. ”

Xu Huang wanted to pat Guan Hai on the shoulder, but after thinking about it, he was still indifferent. He actually agrees with Guan Hai's words, but that doesn't mean he can accept it. Because they have already passed that period, the current Liang country is strong and strong, but in the early years, these generals were too guarded...... And who is not an outlaw who moves the world?

Even His Royal Highness King Liang, didn't he survive until today at that time?

It has not been easy to survive until now.

"General, where are you going next?" Guan Hai looked at Xu Huang, without the slightest awareness that the two departments are now a whole, but only excluded himself and the Qingzhou Army as the subordinates of Liangguo, and smiled at Xu Huang: "You give the order, Guan is responsible for winning the battle!" ”

Xu Huang shook his head, looked into the distance and said: "Since Kaiyang has a large number of troops, then we will clear the wilderness for them, defeat all the soldiers and horses except Kaiyang, and occupy Ju County!" ”

"No!"

……

Lu Bu is going on a campaign.

The banner of the general who destroyed Xian was really deep in his heart, and after the black and red general armor was sent from Longdu, Lu Bu couldn't wait to sleep in his clothes at night.

"Xianbei invaded my border for a long time, and the border people invaded my walled city, and the king of Liang sent a message on the same day, ordering Lu to recruit soldiers from the Han family who dared to fight, crossed the mouth of the Yellow River, and approached the territory of Xianbei...... This battle will be protracted, this battle will be another big battle since the decisive battle between the Han and the Huns. ”

Outside the reckless Wuyuan City, warriors from all over the country lined up here with the news of the Northern Xinjiang recruitment list that spread throughout the territory. Among them are Han scholars with crowns, brave and resolute frontier heroes, Southern Xiongnu warriors riding horses and bows, talented and handsome academy disciples, and even death row prisoners who break the law and hold weapons in various places...... At this moment, they all looked at the majestic and heroic elderly general on the handsome platform, Lu Fengxian, the Xian exterminating general who had been praised by King Liang as 'the dragon among people'.

Now Lu Bu is over fifty years old, his tall figure has a long beard, and the wrinkles on his cheeks bear the traces of time, but the only thing that has not changed is that his voice is still majestic.

What hadn't changed was that the Fang Tian Halberd in his palm was still sharp.

Agrarian civilizations seem to have had little courage or courage to invade northward...... But this does not mean that the Han Chinese are not good at war.

Who is it from the small tribe between Heluo in the Central Plains with ambition and courage to conquer the Quartet? Who made the transition from slavery from the lower reaches of the Yellow River to the powerful tribal confederations that controlled the Yellow River? Who started as a prince, and the Northern Apricot Association set the great cause of dominating the Central Plains? Who is in Congtai School Soldier who wants to give up that outfit to imitate Hu Fu to perform cavalry shooting?

Who is it, several generations of dismal management, working hard to dominate Xirong, and swallowing the unified dynasty under the six countries in one fell swoop?

Who is asking, asking if there is a kind of prince in this world? Who drove the horse to the desert, why did the Huns not be destroyed, why is the determination of the family still loud, who led the lone army of 5,000 foot soldiers to fight to the death with the 80,000 army of the Huns on horseback?

It is us, the descendants of Yan and Huang on the land of the Central Plains.

The tricks of war have been carried forward in our hands, and the battlefield has been ruled by us for two thousand years!

At this moment, those men from all over the country who rushed to the front line shouted in unison in the face of the commander's questioning: "Dare to fight!" ”

"Dare to fight!"

"Dare to fight!"

The roar of 40,000 men soared into the sky, and Lu Bu waved his hand and shouted: "Raise the flag!" ”

The black and red banner seems to have become a tradition of the Han people, and the banner full of murderous spirit was erected behind Lu Bu, with only two big characters written on it, 'Extinguishing Xian'!

For the land of Jiangdong or the Nanling tribe, the word Xianbei does not seem to have any effect on them, even if they know that the Liang State will recruit troops to conquer Xianbei in the north, they will not feel anything, because it has nothing to do with them at all.

But for the border people who have lived in Liang, He, and Youzhou for generations, the name of this nation means hatred, the most unforgettable hatred.

For hundreds of years, cities fell in the autumn under the iron hooves of foreigners, and clans were slaughtered or enslaved...... People are often cunning and cruel and willful, but they never thought about who caused such a result? The land in the north is not rich enough, and in the face of drought and barren land, the wind and sun are exposed to the wind and the sun all year round, and the heavens pray again and again for a good year, but in the autumn, near the harvest, it is ruthlessly plundered by those robbers from outside the country.

When food is gone, children will starve to death, and old people will die of illness...... When the city could not protect them, these hard-working people could only hold their weapons and resist in person!

Despite this, little has been achieved.

For them, this is the cycle of the Heavenly Dao, and the Liangguo's large-scale invasion of Xianbei is retribution!

How many people carried the will of their fathers and brothers to carry knives to the north...... They don't understand the things that King Liang pondered in Longdu about strategy, even if they know that King Xianbei Putou died of illness, Budugen and Kebi can start a war for power, they don't care, anyway, the country is getting stronger and stronger, the soldiers and horses are getting stronger and stronger, and the frontier has been stable for a long time, they think this is enough. It doesn't matter whether it is the intention of King Liang to send troops to the north.

Xianbei people have robbed our food for so many years and killed our people for so many years...... It's time to pay it back, that's the only meaning.

Lu Bu stepped onto his horse, and the soldiers who followed him beside him, followed by a huge military formation, all the way to the north.

Crossing the mouth of the Yellow River, they briefly joined up with the soldiers and horses of Yang Feng, the Taishou of Xianping, and went to different paths again, but they all went in the same direction, which was the direction of the Xianbei tribe.

Behind them, the 40,000 cavalrymen of the Liang Kingdom escorted ordnance and grain and grass back and forth, and supply lines were spread out in the border plugs, following the direction of the Great Liang Expeditionary Force into the desert.

The Liang Kingdom was once weak and had a bleak business, but now, it wants to make Siyi surrender, sweep Liuhe, and lay down a territory that spans 9,000 miles!
