Chapter 284: Approaching Meizhou

Thundered~

Weiyuan City, a border town in the north of Lezhou, is full of dust and smoke on the ground outside the city, and dense cavalry is pouring towards Weiyuan City like a tide.

The army in front of him was the 80,000 Xianbei army that went north to pacify Lezhou on the order of Sima Yu, and the leading general was Murong Ke.

At the city gate, the patriarchs of several major families led by the Jiang family and the Zhang family were leading a large group of people to wait respectfully.

"General, the patriarchs of several major families in Weiyuan City are waiting at the city gate, do you want to enter the city?"

A Xianbei general rode a horse to Murong Ke's side, bowed down to ask him for instructions, and looked at Murong Ke with undisguised admiration in his eyes.

After occupying Da'an County in the north to cut off the back road of the Qin army, Murong Ke continued to lead the army all the way to the north, relying on the extraordinary wrist to attack a group and win over a group, and in less than half a month, the two prefectures of Legong were basically pacified, and the Weiyuan City in front of them was their last stop.

"No need, the war in Yong'an won't last long, Your Majesty's next order may be delivered soon, pass the order, let the army camp on the spot outside the city, and bring them to the camp" Murong Ke waved his hand, turned his head to look at the north and said leisurely.

When Murong Ke led the army to pacify Jiufeng City, the seat of Lezhou, the Manchu guards in the northern counties of Lezhou basically ran away, and most of them were taken over by the local Han wealthy families, and they all submitted letters to Huaguo asking for surrender.

However, this is only a nominal completion of the pacification of Lezhou, and it does not really control Lezhou.

Therefore, along the way, Murong Ke led the 80,000 Xianbei army to the north, recovering county by county and city by city, and supporting the obedient and controllable families by dividing power, and those who were disobedient were directly destroyed.

"Whoa"

The Xianbei general respectfully accepted the order and left.

Soon, the 80,000 Xianbei army began to camp outside Weiyuan City, and the people of several major families were recruited into the camp Murong Ke personally received and pacified, and after some arrangement, the heads of several major families left satisfied.

On the second day, Weiyuan City issued a notice to the people in the city and the villages and towns in the county, announcing that it would officially join Huaguo and merge with Lingyun County in the east to form Weiyuan County, which was the location of the county, and several major families in Weiyuan City and Lingyun County jointly transferred talents to form a county government, and recruited 5,000 county soldiers to stabilize the security in the county.

The 80,000 Xianbei cavalry led by Murong Ke was stationed in Weiyuan City, causing the Qin army in Meizhou to hurriedly dispatch 5,000 troops to Angu Town.

Three days later, in the morning, the army outside Weiyuan City was moving, and countless Xianbei horsemen were galloping on horseback according to Murong Ke's instructions, rehearsing the battle formation.

After all, these 80,000 Xianbei cavalry were temporarily recruited, although they were all Xianbei warriors who could form an army by bending their bows on their horses, but they had not undergone systematic training and were not constrained by the military-regulated battle formations, and they were scattered in a group, unable to give full play to their combat power.

Therefore, in this campaign, Murong Ke was training his troops, and the remaining 80,000 Xianbei cavalry were significantly different from when they entered Gongzhou, and the army did not commit any crimes in the autumn, which is also the reason why the people of Legong and Erzhou were willing to surrender.

"Report! General, Your Majesty urgently report! ”

Just as Murong Ke was riding on a war horse to direct the drill, a sentry rode over quickly and handed the letter in his hand to Murong Ke.

"Your Majesty's letter, the Yong'an Qin army has been annihilated, the Qin army's main general Wang Ben killed himself on the spot, His Majesty ordered our army to immediately advance to Meizhou, pass on my general's order, and the whole army will return to the camp!"

After taking the letter and reading it, Murong Ke ordered with a hint of joy in his eyes.

"Whoa!"

When the Xianbei generals heard this, their expressions were greatly lifted, and they responded one after another.

In the sound of bells and bells, 80,000 Xianbei cavalry quickly returned to the camp.

Two hours later, the 80,000 troops who had packed up the ten thousand camps after the meal quickly marched towards the north under the leadership of Murong Ke.

Angu Town, located in the south of Meizhou, is a small town, but the city is high and thick, and it is an important border town.

"Oh no, big brother, the Huaguo army outside Weiyuan City has called, and the 80,000 cavalry is less than 15 miles away from our Angu Town."

The general of the defenders of Angu Town is named Jiang Shicheng, a local general under the command of the former Later Qin Yaochang, and this time he was ordered to lead the army to garrison Angu Town.

Therefore, Murong Ke's army had already detected as soon as it moved, but the scout's footsteps were not as fast as the Xianbei cavalry, and the enemy had just received the news that the enemy army had advanced to a place less than 15 miles away from Angu Town.

"What's the matter, didn't you send more people to keep an eye on it?"

Jiang Shicheng was shocked when he heard this, and angrily reprimanded his confidant brother Liu Qiang.

"Big brother, it's not that the little ones don't watch, it's that their cavalry is too fast!"

Liu Qiang smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"Then don't gather the brothers to prepare!"

Jiang Shicheng froze when he heard this, grabbed his armor and prepared to rush out of the city.

"Big brother, the brothers also found out a piece of news!"

Liu Qiang grabbed him and hesitated.

"What's the news?"

Jiang Shicheng's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that Liu Qiang would not talk nonsense, and said solemnly.

"According to the news sent back by the brothers sent to Weiyuan City, Yong'an's Qin army has already been defeated, and even General Wang Shao has been killed, and now hundreds of thousands of troops from Huaguo are advancing towards us, and the 80,000 cavalry in Weiyuan City are just the vanguard army, and we can't hold it."

Liu Qiang lowered his head slightly and said in a trembling voice.

"Fart! Even if it is a dead man, he will die in this Angu Town, Yao Chang did not say a word and surrendered Daqin Laozi had no choice, and now he has to face Huaguo without a fight, no way! ”

Who knew that Jiang Shicheng interrupted him rudely when he heard this, and opened his mouth to reprimand angrily.

"Big brother, Wangui and they have already fled, and now there is only our group of people left in the entire southern part of Meizhou, we have been abandoned by Daqin, do you really want to watch your brothers go to death?"

Liu Qiang, who had always been obedient to Jiang Shicheng's words, was also angry, raised his head and looked at Jiang Shicheng with red eyes and shouted angrily.

"That's what you all think?"

Jiang Shicheng silently took a few steps back and asked in a trembling voice.

"Not bad! Big brother, the brothers are tired, they don't want to fight anymore, yesterday it was the Qin State, today it is the Hua Kingdom, even if they dodge today, they still can't escape in the end! ”

Liu Qiang looked sad and indignant.

"Good! In that case, then you can take me to take full authority to deal with this matter! ”

Jiang Shicheng was silent for a while when he heard this, and finally waved his hand at him in frustration.

"Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely get a good condition for my brothers!"

Liu Qiang bowed to him and left.

"My lord, did the general agree?"

When Liu Qiang walked out of Jiangfu, a group of generals had already gathered outside the gate of the mansion, and they asked one after another.

"Brothers, open the city gate with me and greet the king!"

Liu Qiang's gaze slowly swept over the faces of the crowd, and finally raised the tiger talisman in his hand and ordered loudly.

"Whoa!"

A group of Gu'an town guards gladly accepted the order.

Half an hour later, when Murong Ke led the army to Gu'an Town, the city gate had already been opened, and 5,000 defenders were arrayed outside the city to surrender, and the gate of Meizhou had fallen into the hands of Hua without a single soldier.
