Chapter 180: There is a way to make money
The border of the three kingdoms is in the buffer zone, and the army of Dayan Kingdom is pouring in from the border in a steady stream, and Li Jin, who is wearing black pin armor, sits on a war horse and leads the team to advance slowly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The black armor on Li Jin's body is exactly the same color as an ordinary soldier, if it weren't for a team of guards around him, who would have thought that he was the chief general of the three armies?
Yu Hongxue once specially made several sets of silver armor for him, which was particularly conspicuous and majestic, but Li Jin asked him to remake the armor that was exactly the same as that of a soldier.
In modern times, he has watched a lot of war movies, and he has also heard the story of an old man who participated in the self-defense counterattack, and the sniper must kill the officer first, and the soldier second.
In the era of cold weapons, although there are no long-range and high-precision sniper rifles, the cold arrows cast by the masters of the house are also very powerful, so it is better to be careful.
Li Jin commanded the army to advance slowly, and Bai Yutang and Zhang Qi, the two capable generals, had already moved separately in the second half of the night.
The 1,000 cavalry of the Great Han Mianguo who came out of Bailin Pass were ambushed halfway, and under several waves of rain of locusts, at least six or seven hundred people fell with men and horses, and the rest were charged by the 5,000 cavalry, all of them were annihilated, and no one could escape.
Bai Yutang, who had a calm expression, stood on a high point, and from the moment he launched the attack, he did not say a word until the end of the battle.
According to his request, it was supposed to be a battle with zero casualties, but by the time the cavalry made the final sortie, five soldiers were still killed and seventeen were wounded of varying severity.
Although they have been trained strictly for several years, after all, these cavalrymen are the first time to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and they are inevitably a little timid.
However, he was confident that as long as he experienced a few more battles, these cavalry trained by him would be elite invincible iron cavalry in the future!
Expecting the messenger to report the battle report to Li Jin, who was advancing behind, he turned his head to look in the direction of Bailin Pass.
It won't be long before Zhang's ambush soldiers will be able to deceive the city gate and capture Bailin Pass.
In this battle, he didn't want to compete with Zhang Qi, so he was polite and just cooperated with Zhang Qi's actions. There will be many major wars in the future, and there is no hurry for this moment.
His mind is also like all generals, and he is very eager to compete with the famous handsome Feng Shuai Yan Fengwu or the eagle handsome Ye Yingyang of the Megatron Continent, this is the most painful battle in his life.
Under Bailin Pass, a group of defeated soldiers who had lost their armor were raising their heads and shouting to the people in the city, "The army of Dayan Kingdom is coming, hurry up and open the door." ”
The officer on duty at the head of the city carefully looked at the blood-stained soldiers under the city, it was indeed the armor uniform of his own army, and on the tattered battle flag, an embroidered round of silver moon had turned into a waning moon, and it was estimated that it was after a hard battle to break out of the encirclement.
With the help of the officers on duty, the soldiers guarding the doorway opened the heavy and thick gates, and the remnants of the defeated soldiers poured into the city with a cheer.
Damn, are you so happy to lose the battle?
The soldiers standing in the aisle of the city gate cursed, and before they could respond, these defeated soldiers had already let out an earth-shattering roar of killing, and their swords fell in their hands, killing them cleanly.
These remnants of the defeated army were like tigers out of the gate, roaring into the city, cutting down people when they saw them, and before the soldiers guarding the city gate could react, many people were cut down.
In a forest outside the city, the man sitting on his war horse raised his iron spear and pressed down violently, "Attack!" ”
Countless iron horsemen galloped out of the dense forest, and the whirlwind pressed against the open city gate.
The officers and soldiers defending the city did not suspect fraud, and they were carelessly deceived into opening the city gate, and the soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom disguised as defeated soldiers entered the city, and before the defenders could fully react, they had already captured the city gate.
Countless iron horsemen poured into the city like a whirlwind, pouring like a flood of embankments into the avenues of the city, rolling steel torrents, crushing all living creatures who dared to stop them.
Behind the cavalry were 30,000 sword-wielding foot soldiers, who also poured into the city like a tidal wave.
Many of the defenders who were still eating were stunned by the earth-shattering roar, and threw away their rice bowls in their hands in horror, and rushed out of the barracks.
The officers brandished their swords, hissed and shouted, shouting orders to assemble and counterattack, but they were covered by the earth-shattering roar of killing, several military camps were all in chaos, like ant colonies that exploded their nests, some sporadic resistance was meaningless, and they could not stop the enemy's crazy rush at all, the general trend had gone, the defenders of the city were completely defeated, and the soldiers who could not form the army rushed to run outside the city, trampling on each other, and suffering countless casualties.
Zhang Qi ordered the cavalry to pursue the fleeing enemy from the three city gates, and personally led 30,000 foot soldiers to clear the stubborn remnants of the enemy in the city.
The battle in the city ended in three hours, and all but those who surrendered were killed.
The residents of the city hid in fear at home, anxiously waiting for the unknown fate.
On the one hand, Zhang Qi ordered the soldiers to guard the city gates, avenues and other transportation arteries, and on the other hand, he ordered the soldiers to seal up the grain depots, weapons and equipment depots, silver depots and other important departments, and strictly prevent the soldiers or the remnants of the fleeing soldiers from scattering and looting everywhere, and on the other hand, put up notices to appease the panicked residents.
Bai Yutang and Li Jin arrived with their troops one after another, entered the city, and returned exhausted from the cavalry responsible for pursuing the fleeing enemy.
The results of the battle were soon reported, 30,000 of the enemy were destroyed, 13,000 of the enemy were captured, and only about 5,000 soldiers, who ran faster than rabbits, fled into the dense forest outside the city and were able to escape.
Countless weapons and equipment, grain and grass were captured, and even the family of Lord Bailin Guan Taishou became prisoners.
This raid by opening the city gate was indeed a surprise, and most of the officers and soldiers in the city were still eating, and they had no time to resist at all.
Seven hundred casualties among one's own infantry and three hundred casualties among the cavalry were considered a complete victory.
Li Jin was very satisfied, and ordered the army to rest for a day and enter Luocheng tomorrow.
After the capture of Luocheng, it completely cut off the back road of the two dangerous passes of Longnan and Tiantang, and the defenders of the two passes will collapse without a fight.
Before the outbreak of the war, the inhabitants of the buffer zone at the junction of the three countries were relatively wealthy, and the three countries imposed a large number of tariffs at the border gates.
The seized inventory of silver amounted to more than 30 million taels, and it seems that the tariffs imposed by Bailin Customs have not yet had time to be transported upwards, and this war has become bigger.
With a stroke of his pen, Li Jin wiped off a zero, and more than 30 million taels of silver in stock became more than 3 million, and he comfortably swallowed 30 million.
The great families living in the city also sent people to ask for an audience and presented a lot of gold, silver and jewels for peace.
The big fat pig sent to the door, not slaughtered for nothing, Li Jinxiao accepted the Dongdong sent by those big families, and added nearly half of the yard price, as for the beauties, now they are busy with military affairs, and they have no time to pay attention to it, so they all return.
He opened his mouth widely, and although the heads of those big clans cursed him to the point in their hearts, they had to send the silver taels they wanted.
If you provoke this general, the army will be surrounded, not to mention that all the family property will be gone, and you won't even be able to save your life, and you will have to break some money in the war, as long as people are okay, you will always be able to earn it back in the future.
More than 30 million taels of dirty silver, loaded with a full 200 carts, at dawn, sent his henchmen to lead an army to escort back to China, and then divided into pieces, respectively deposited in the major money in Yuanzhou City, and then dispersed in batches to Zhanshui.
This is what the brothers earned with their lives, and they don't swallow it for nothing, and the brothers and their families who died in the war will each have a pension of five to seven hundred taels.
This is his private army, how dare he let outsiders know, the military pension or something, all have to pay out of his own pocket, how can he have so much silver, since it is used by the people, it has to be taken from the people, hehe.
