Chapter 163: Wang Hu's Eastern Crusade

The guard and army under Li Yu's command were three battalions, two regiments and two brigades, and Wang Hu sent out the three battalions of the main force of Xuanwu Wei to fight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Many of the chaotic Tatars tried to escape from the peninsula, but they crashed into the ambush soldiers left behind by Wang Hu, and were either taken prisoner or beheaded.

"General, the people of the Devil are difficult to fly with wings, and their subordinates are here to congratulate the general, after this battle, they will be rewarded by His Royal Highness......"

Xuanwu Wei Changshi's compliment made Wang Hu a little fluttering, and said with a little humility: "This is the merit of the soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy, how can I be greedy for merit?" ”

"This is the general's well-commanded ......"

The heads of several brigade commanders and lieutenants who followed Wang Hu flashed in their minds, and they cleverly slapped Wang Hu's sycophants in the tone of a long history.

After nearly half an hour of tearing and killing, the camp and its surroundings were full of dead bodies, except for a small number of people who jumped into the sea with no way to escape, most of them were annihilated.

The Xuanwu guards assigned a part of their manpower to look on the battlefield, mending the knives for the people who were not yet dead, and counting the results of the battle.

According to the statistics of the long history, more than 900 levels were beheaded in this battle, more than 300 horses were captured, and dried grain, fish, and inferior knives and guns were not counted. (Each guard and army will also set up a long history, Sima, and assistant generals to join the army) only 89 people were killed on their own side.

Liu Ji and other expedition soldiers regretted their loss, and returned to the city to collect the bones of the fallen soldiers, and happened to meet Xiao Hong, who came to find Liu Ji and Zhang Cai.

"Uncle Xiao......"

Seeing Xiao Hong, Liu Ji and Zhang Cai were overjoyed, and the three of them didn't see each other for half a month.

At the beginning, it was Xiao Hong from the same village who led them to the battlefield, and without Xiao Hong's care, Liu Ji and the other four who had just been recruited to the battlefield had already died in Liaodong.

It's just that the four young people who came out of the village together, Zhang Gouzi died in battle last year, Hu Lian served as a captain in the Dingman Army, and Liu Ji and Zhang Cai were divided into one unit.

Xiao Hong looked at Liu Ji and Zhang Cai's expedition of one hundred and thirteen people half a month ago from Zha Cheng, and now there are only about forty people left, and he sighed helplessly.

Liu Ji and Zhang Cai are also sad, this victory is a tragic victory for the expedition team, a big gamble in Liu Ji's heart. Although he won, for Liu Ji, he didn't know how to face the dead soldiers in guilt.

When Xuanwuwei launched the surprise attack, it was the time of the glorious sunset, more than an hour passed, and night fell early.

The previous camp was cleaned up by the Xuanwu guards and turned into a camp for the Xuanwu guards to stay tonight, and the generals of the whole army, including Liu Ji, were also called to the big tent of the Chinese army that had just been erected.

Today's victory is Xuanwuwei's first victory since the humiliation of last year's defeat. Looking at the generals gathered together, Wang Hu was in a good mood.

"Today, the soldiers used their lives to kill more than 1,000 people in the east and successfully rescued the besieged expedition. I, who is a general, in addition to truthfully reporting the merits of His Highness's soldiers to get rewards, can only give more meals to the soldiers at present. ”

"Where does the general say, if there is no general to lead us, how can we win this battle."

"That's it, generals, don't learn from those scribes and be humble, our Xuanwu guards are all big and coarse, don't play that game."

The three lieutenants Guan Yuan, Ren Qiang, and Xiao Honglun turned their mouths and quipped, so that the big tent of the Chinese army was all happy.

Wang Hu waved his hand, and the laughing generals in the tent stopped.

"Put aside the dinner in advance, let's discuss the future of the Eastern Crusade!"

"Crusade?" Zhang Cai, Yu Feng and other expedition generals, who were quite disappointed, looked at Wang Hu in surprise, but Liu Ji was relieved when he thought about it.

"In addition to rescuing the expedition on the orders of His Royal Highness, our army also ordered our army to take the opportunity to launch an eastward crusade after the war, looking for an opportunity to occupy the place where the Black Water Funi Department is strong, and build a city to defend it."

Wang Hu looked at Liu Ji who was sitting in the corner and said with a smile: "Captain Liu, as the deputy head of the expedition, has been to the Funi Department hundreds of miles away before, and also attacked the village of the Yan people at night. ”

It seems that as he expected, King Yan has a lot of plans for the land of the Black Water Spirit. Liu Ji, who knew where his value was, stood up and said: "According to the previous exploration of our expedition, our army walked more than 200 miles along the coast to reach a fertile field with a north-south river network, and the terrain was flat and open. Traveling more than 60 miles to the north, you can reach the southern branch of the Funi department. To the north of Nogo is a much larger plain......"

Wang Hu nodded and said: "It's not much different from the news we heard from the Baishan Department and the locals of Zhacheng, the north of the Nuoge Department is the Meituo Lake, and the lake is surrounded by vast plains, and the branches of the Funi Department live around the Meituo Lake. ”

"Flat and open terrain, isn't this just suitable for my cavalry battalion to charge and kill?" Sekihara, who commanded the cavalry of the Xuanwu Wei 1st Battalion, said with a smile.

……

Through the maps drawn by Yu Feng and other expedition surveyors, Wang Hu and other generals studied the route of the march on the map and finalized the plan for the Eastern Expedition.

That night, under Wang Hu's special order, the Xuanwu guards had a feast.

As soon as the sky dawned on the second day, the Xuanwu Guard, which had already been packed, headed eastward and galloped along the route of the expedition.

On the southern side of the mountain ridge and coast of the Tang army's marching route, there had just been a cannibalistic killing of the Tatar people who had escaped last night.

The victor is Liu Ji's horn who is eager to be captured alive and escaped by luck, and the loser is trembling and crawling at the foot of Nuo corner.

"What other words does my uncle have?"

"You ......"

He never imagined that he would end up dying at the hands of Nuo Jiao, whom he had always looked down on.

Yesterday, when there was no way to escape, Taker and his people who were protecting themselves each found a log and lay down in the sea and swam to the opposite shore to retrieve a life.

There are only more than ten warriors of his own tribe who escaped with Taker, which is the opponent of more than 70 tribesmen in Nuo Jiao.

When Nuo Gejiao saw Nuo Ke'er and his party, he started to tear it up, and the people of Da Keer were killed in an instant, leaving him alone to be trampled under Nuo Gejiao's feet.

Nuo smiled proudly: "Since my uncle doesn't have any last words, then the little nephew will send my uncle on the road." By the way, both uncles have died here, and the little nephew will go back to take over the clan for his uncle. ”

"No, you can't die well......"

"Huh," Nuo Jiao lifted the head of Tak'er's dead and chuckled, "People will change when they go through a lot, you are old." ”

"Let's go, let's go back and take over the two departments, and then find an opportunity for revenge."

Since then, a force has gradually risen in the Sanjiang area, which has become a major disaster for the Tang army in the Sanjiang area in the following decades.

The Tang army was the first to arrive at the village of Nuo Gebu that had been destroyed by Liu Ji before.

During the night attack, the people of the Nuo tribe who fled to the mountains and forests returned to the destroyed village one after another to rebuild, waiting for a new leader who would return with revenge.

Unfortunately, they did not wait for the new leader of the Hui tribe, Nuo Gejiao, to lead the tribe warriors to return with the enemy's head, but they looked forward to the enemy who had attacked them at night.

In the eyes of these Tatars, they were surrounded by more enemies than that night, and the warriors of the tribe were either killed in battle or had not returned from the battle with their leaders, and the village was being rebuilt only with old and young women and children.

"Keep women but not men, and the rest of those over ten years old will be killed!"

Wang Hu simply copied the method used by Liu Ji when he evacuated, and the soldiers who had been ordered waved their knives and carried out the order neatly in the wailing of the Yan people.

The only difference is that Wang Hu did not order the soldiers to burn down the village rebuilt by the Yan people like Liu Ji. These semi-crypt houses were still needed before the city was built.
