285 King Wu's rebels, wiped out!
Danyang City Head.
The generals of the imperial court, as well as the Danyang soldiers guarding the city and the 50,000 imperial court soldiers, were all stunned when they saw this scene outside the city.
Even the warriors of the Wu army in the city stopped fighting and looked at the upheaval outside the city in shock.
They thought there was still a hard battle to be fought.
At the West City Gate, the Wu army of more than 100,000 troops attacked frantically. The defenders of the city may have to pay a very heavy price to defend the city.
I'm afraid this battle will be fought until dark.
However, this sudden and large-scale killing of the Royal Forest Army stunned both of them.
Emperor Xiang Yanran drove the expedition in person and copied the back road of Xiang Bi, the king of Wu.
The 50,000 dark green iron cavalry was like a sharp sword that suddenly came out of its sheath, destroying the Wu army's two 10,000-strong cavalry battalions.
Xiang Bi, the king of Wu, was defeated in battle, and led his son Xiang Xian, the ministers of Wu, and the generals to break out of the siege and flee in a hurry under the protection of thousands of light horsemen.
Without the cover of the two cavalry battalions of the Wu army.
The remaining dozen or so Wu army miscellaneous barracks did not have any resistance in front of the most elite Imperial Forest Army of the Great Chu Dynasty.
The 50,000 Imperial Forest Army didn't bother to pay attention to their miscellaneous soldiers, and just chased and killed the fleeing Wu cavalry.
And the two elite infantry battalions of the Wu army have long been exhausted from fighting, and they can't escape at all. In despair, how can you fight?
In the upper and lower parts of Danyang City, the Wu army had no will to fight, and under the pursuit of 50,000 imperial forest troops outside the city, they could not escape.
simply threw away the sword and surrendered directly to the ground.
The black pressed a piece of more than 100,000 Wu soldiers, threw their guns and unloaded their armor, bowed to the ground, and did not dare to resist.
The emperor is not going to kill them all.
"Father is too powerful!"
Prince Xiang Tiange stood at the head of the city, looking at Xiang Yanran's majestic and heroic figure, and his eyes couldn't help but shine.
If he has such a day, he will be proud on the battlefield, and it will be worth it.
Xiang Tiange galloped down the city, mounted his horse, and headed in the direction of the emperor's royal car.
"See the emperor!"
The generals of Danyang City, Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, and the generals of various battalions, went out of the city one after another to meet the emperor.
The emperor's surprise attack was too strong.
The fighter plane caught is too accurate!
Fierce shot!
With a single sword, Wu Wang Xiang Bi had an army of more than 100,000 people, and there was no room for even the slightest struggle.
They can only admire.
Xiang Yanran looked at Chu Tianxiu with a faint smile.
"Congratulations to the emperor, the royal driver personally conquered and won the victory in Danyang! The head of the princes' rebels, King Wu's 250,000 army, was wiped out under the emperor's iron hooves! The emperor is mighty, God bless Dachu! ”
Chu Tianxiu immediately said loudly.
Xiang Yanran couldn't help nodding slightly.
Xiao Duhou is really sensible, unlike those brainless reckless men who don't know anything except fighting, killing and killing.
"Well, the battle of Danyang is related to the general trend of the world.
Wu Wang Xiang Bi thinks very highly of himself, and regards himself as the first fierce general of Great Chu, he must have thought that I would not dare to leave Jinling, and the 50,000 imperial forest troops would not dare to leave Jinling City.
I now let everyone in the world know that he, King Wu, is nothing more than a chicken and a dog in front of me.
Now King Wu's 250,000 army is in ashes, and half of the south of the Yangtze River is also stable. The side of the couch is finally stable. ”
Xiang Yanran said with a smile: "Xiao Duhou, Li Yu, this battle, you two fought well!" King Wu used all his strength to eat, but he failed to capture Danyang City, and you have made great contributions to defending the city. Looking back, I will definitely reward you! ”
Chu Tianxiu's heart was clear.
The merit of the emperor was the defeat of King Wu, the head of the rebellious princes.
His merit is to defend Danyang City.
Since the emperor wants to take this first-class credit himself, he can't compete with the emperor.
"Your Majesty, after the defeat of King Wu. King Wu's lair will be in Ji County, and a group of capable people are needed to clean up the remnants.
Among the scholars of this year's imperial examination, there are still many people who are idle at home and have no official status. It is better to let them go to the various counties of Wu County, serve as county commanders, and completely eliminate the remnants of King Wu's local forces. ”
Chu Tianxiu said with a smile.
"Well, it's possible, I'm right! The county order asked these new science and technology scholars to try their skills. As for the county guard of Huiji County... I transferred Xie Anran over, and his credit is not small, and his ability is also strong. Let him clean up the forces left behind by King Wu! ”
Xiang Yanran thought for a while and agreed.
King Wu's fief will definitely be taken back by the imperial court. Let those new science and technology scholars go through the training, and it is also just right to gather the authority of the locality.
These new science and technology scholars were all brought out by Xiao Duhou.
It can be regarded as giving Chu Tianxiu some awards.
After the fall of King Wu, the role of Wanling City was also small.
Huiji County Guard, there must be a person who trusts enough to clear the remnants of King Wu. The horse Xie Anran is both wise and brave, and should be able to take on this important responsibility.
"Your Majesty, Jinling can't be guarded without the emperor and 50,000 imperial forest troops, the princes of Jiangbei are all looking for an opportunity to cross south, please come back early!"
Li Yu persuaded.
"Well, I can't stay in the Danyang Realm for long. You immediately clean up the remnants of these Wu army's defeated generals, disarm their prisoners, and come up with a disposal plan.
I also want to return to Jinling City as soon as possible, so that the princes of Jiangbei will not have a chance.
Hurry up and clean up the chaos in Danyang City. Prepare an army, cross the river to the north, and destroy the princes of Jiangbei as soon as possible.
The civil strife in the Great Chu Dynasty should be resolved within two or three months as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be chaotic for a long time and hurt the vitality. After the Xiongnu entered autumn, they would definitely invade on a large scale. I'm afraid that the border is unstable. ”
Xiang Yanran nodded.
He and the generals of the court who guarded the city in Danyang praised them one by one, gathered 50,000 imperial cavalry troops, and quickly went to the imperial capital of Jinling.
The emperor left the imperial capital, which was an extremely risky thing.
If the princes of Jiangbei got the news, they took tens of thousands or 100,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river to the south at the same time, and captured the empty imperial capital city by surprise attack, and defended it with the world's strongest city... The Great Chu Dynasty shook the world, and I am afraid that the country will be unstable.
...
Emperor Xiang Yanran, with the excited prince Xiang Tiange, and 50,000 imperial forest troops, quickly returned to the imperial capital of Jinling after the first battle.
The endgame of Danyang City, the defeat of more than 100,000 Wu army and the prisoners, of course, were left to Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu to deal with.
"General Zuo, what to do with the prisoners of the Wu army?"
The court generals asked.
"The Wu army had a total of 50,000 elite soldiers, and the casualties were estimated at 25,000, and the remaining more than 20,000 elite soldiers who were captured were all left.
It was the time for the imperial court to use troops, and it would soon cross the river to the north. Scattered all the elite soldiers of King Wu, and then mixed into my imperial army.
Captured generals above the rank of captain of the Wu military can be exempted from capital crimes. All of them were imprisoned and sent back to their hometowns after five to ten years of hard labor. ”
Chu Tianxiu thought for a moment and commanded.
"The 1230,000 miscellaneous soldiers, appease. Select 20,000 or 30,000 strong people and send them to Danyang ore for mining, and those who are honest and willing to do it can be blacksmiths.
The rest were sent back to their hometowns to work as farmers. They are all strong men from all counties and townships in Huiji, and they should hurry back to farming, and they must not miss the agricultural work. ”
