Chapter 1324: Recovering Ningxia
"Report ...... Qi Yu Lord, the 20,000 yuan Mongolian remnants who escaped from the Liupan Mountain battlefield were all retreated to Pingluo County after being collected by Wokotai. ”
A trace of coldness flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Pass the order, the whole army will march towards Pingluo County, kill Wokotai as quickly as possible, subdue Ningxia County, and then go north to Yinshan County and flank Murong Chui." ”
"No."
Now the main army of Yuanmeng in Ningxia County has just suffered an unprecedented defeat, leaving only 20,000 people in Wokotai, and in addition to the spiritual pillar of Yuanmeng, Temujin is also dead, and the remaining Yuanmeng army in Hetao can be said to be leaderless, and it is the best time for Qin Hao to pursue and completely subdue Hetao.
The Han army had just experienced a great war, and the direct casualties reached one-third, and the whole army was filled with this deep tiredness, but they did not have much time to recuperate, and they had to continue a new journey after only two days, so being a soldier in the troubled times was the most difficult profession.
In just two days of repair, it is naturally impossible for the army to recover, but although the whole Han army is tired, its mental state is very good, and it is full of confidence in the future.
Before the army set off, Qin Hao received a report from the soldiers.
"Report ...... Lord Qi, General Mu Feng, he, he ......"
Qin Hao was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "General Mu Feng, what's wrong with him?" ”
"General Mu Feng's injuries are too serious, and the military doctor said that he is dying, and he wants to see the lord for the last time."
"What?"
Qin Hao didn't make any stops, left behind all the guards and generals, and ran directly towards Mu Feng's big tent.
The battle of Laolongtan was too tragic, with more than 40,000 casualties among the 100,000 Han troops in the Longmen Formation, and the generals of the Qin and Jin armies naturally sacrificed a lot, and the highest ranks were: Xiao Li Guanghuarong and Jin army veteran Mu Feng.
Mu Feng, originally a bandit rogue, joined the Yanmen Army after being subdued by Qin Wen, and was one of the eight captains of the Yanmen Army, and he was also Mu Guiying's father in this life, that is, Qin Hao's father-in-law.
As the father-in-law of Qin Hao, the Duke of Qin, and his daughter Mu Guiying also gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Qin family, Mu Feng's status is naturally extremely respectful, he could have not participated in this decisive battle, but he joined in without any hesitation, and used his old body to carry one of the ten gates of the Dragon Gate Array.
In the first battle of Laolongtan, Mu Feng also suffered heavy losses in the war, and he held on until the end of the war, and his injuries deteriorated rapidly after the war, and he could not wait for the Han army to completely subdue the Hetao.
After breaking into the big tent full of herbs, Qin Hao walked directly to the bed, and when he saw Mu Feng's tragic situation, he grabbed Mu Feng's hand and choked up: "Father-in-law, Zixu is here." ”
Mu Feng smiled when he saw Qin Hao coming, and said weakly: "Virtuous son-in-law, I heard that Ying'er gave birth to a big fat boy?" ”
"Well, the child was born with six pounds and eight taels, and the son-in-law named him Qin Ying."
"Qin Ying? Gui Ying? ”
Mu Feng showed a relieved smile after a deep sigh, he felt his son-in-law's feelings for his daughter from his grandson's name.
"The virtuous son-in-law has a heart."
"Father-in-law, the son-in-law will definitely train Ying'er to be a hero like your father-in-law."
"Hehe, what kind of hero am I, my life is full of misfortunes, the only thing that is lucky is that there are only two things, one is to give birth to Gui Ying's daughter, and the other is to meet your father, so that I will not continue to spend the rest of my life in chaos."
At this time, Mu Feng's strength in his hand was a little stronger, and he continued: "Virtuous son-in-law, father-in-law, I am about to die, and what I am most worried about is my daughter.
Gui Ying, this girl has been spoiled by me, she is full of gangsterism, if she contradicts you in the future, for the sake of her father-in-law's face, don't worry about him. ”
"Father-in-law, rest assured, Gui Ying is not only my wife, but also the mother of my eldest son, and my son-in-law will spend his whole life caring for their mother and son, and there will never be any harsh criticism." Qin Hao said very seriously.
As soon as Mu Feng heard this, a trace of abnormal ruddy flashed on his face, and then he exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and said a little excitedly: "Virtuous son-in-law, father-in-law, I have one last request." ”
"Father-in-law, please say, the son-in-law will definitely go all out."
"Your father and I fought a lifelong war with the Huns, and this battle was not fought until death, I hope that the war can be completely ended in your generation, and it will not continue to Ying'er and their generation.
This hard time has passed for too long, and all the suffering is up to our older generation, and their generation should also enjoy the days of peace. ”
Listening to his father-in-law's teachings before his death, Qin Hao's face was full of sadness, and he said in a deep voice with great firmness: "Father-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law will do his best to stop the war." ”
Mu Feng nodded lightly, but then his eyes gradually blurred, and he said extremely weakly: "I really want to see Ying'er, even if it's just a glance, it's fine." ”
Seeing that Mu Feng's eyes were about to close slowly, Qin Hao immediately shouted anxiously: "Father-in-law, don't close your eyes, you haven't hugged Ying'er yet...... Father-in-law, father-in-law......"
With this Qin Hao's shout, Mu Feng, another veteran of the Jin army, fell.
"Immediately fly the pigeon and send a message to Mrs. Fei Mu, and ask her to return to Jinyang with the eldest son...... Attend the funeral. ”
After leaving an order sadly, Qin Hao immediately restrained his grief and walked out of the big tent, there is a new war to fight in the future, and he must not show his weak side in front of the soldiers.
Now Yuanmeng still has 200,000 troops in Yinshan, led by Murong Chui, who has both civil and military skills, but he is about to face a desperate situation of being besieged by the Han army from all directions.
The 100,000 Han army set off again under the command of Qin Hao, and the target was Pingluo County, which had 20,000 troops where Wokotai was located, and unexpectedly but reasonably, Wokotai fled without a fight.
Temujin's death, coupled with the crushing defeat of the 240,000 main army, made Ogedai full of fear of Qin Hao, and did not dare to continue fighting with the Han army.
Previously, Guyuan County had 50,000 defenders, but under the strong attack of the Han army's catapults and Jingqi, it only lasted less than a day before the city was breached.
Now that there are only 20,000 people left in the hands of Wokotai, and it is a defeated army that has just suffered a crushing defeat, its morale has plummeted, and its combat strength is not one in ten, how can it hold Pingluo County under the offensive of the Han army like a wolf and a tiger?
Wokotai led all his troops out of Ningxia County and went to Yinshan County to defect to Murong Chui, where Yuanmeng returned 200,000 troops, so he could still give him a sense of security.
Wokotai's active retreat also saved Qin Hao a lot of effort, and it took less than three days to completely recover the ten counties of Ningxia County, and then the 100,000 army turned around and marched towards Yinshan County in the north.
