Chapter 146: The End of the Qin Army
The cannon outside Jinzhou City rumbled, and thunderbolts kept sweeping the Great Qin Army on the city wall. The soldiers of the Northern Army shouted and climbed the city wall along the ladder of the building, and the gate of Jinzhou was slowly being opened. When the iron fence was slowly raised, Ling Wuwu led the cavalry into Jinzhou City. The Great Qin Army, which was scurrying with its head, rushed to the south gate, and none of them had the courage to resist reflexively.
The prestige of the Northern Army is too terrifying, not only can it deter foreign enemies, but the Great Qin Army is also terrified. What's more, there is also a Flying Tiger Army that is more powerful than the Northern Legion. The defeated soldiers of the Great Qin Army fled towards Pingzhou without their lives, and Ling Wuwu did not stop the pursuit at all, he led the cavalry through the city, following the footsteps of the Great Qin Army to kill Pingzhou.
Pingzhou is now the capital of the Great Qin State, and the families of the high-level leaders of the Great Qin are all in Pingzhou, but because Yan Sheng brought most of the main forces of the Great Qin army to Jinyang, the troops left behind in Pingzhou are extremely weak. And what is even more unexpected is that Pingzhou did not leave a general to guard, which shows how chaotic the internal management of Daqin is.
The defeated army of Great Qin Jinzhou rushed all the way to the gate of Pingzhou, and the Great Qin army defending the city saw that it was their own people, and opened the city gate without asking a question and let the defeated army enter the city. But at this moment, Ling Wuwu's 20,000 iron horsemen arrived. Ling Wuwu was overjoyed when he saw the gate of Pingzhou City open, and ordered 20,000 iron horsemen to sweep like a hurricane and rush into Pingzhou City. At this time, the Pingzhou Great Qin army had no leader, no will to fight, and no will to fight, facing the 20,000 iron horsemen who were like wolves and tigers in front of them, and threw down their swords and guns one by one and knelt down to ask for surrender. In this way, Ling Wuwu connected to Pingzhou, Jinzhou, one day, captured all the family members of the high-level leaders of Daqin, and sent people to the front line in Jinyang.
At the same time, the 30,000 Flying Tiger Army, which bypassed Jinping Erzhou, rushed all the way to the Jinyang front. Just when the Flying Tiger Army was about to approach Jinyang, a cavalry unit under the banner of the Great Qin Army appeared in front of the Flying Tiger Army, and Chen Guang was at the forefront of this force. When he saw the Flying Tiger Army from a distance, which was overwhelming like a flood breaking the embankment, he immediately reined in his war horse and waved his hand.
"The soldiers of Great Qin, the Flying Tiger Army is here, let us fight this strong army to the end, for the sake of Great Qin, for Your Majesty, rush!"
The cavalry of the Great Qin Army roared towards the Flying Tiger Army, and Chen Guang rode on his horse and cheered loudly, but he didn't rush forward.
The Great Qin cavalry quickly approached the Flying Tiger Army, and just when the two armies were about to collide, the flags of the Great Qin Army waved again and again, and the Great Qin cavalry neatly turned around and went neck with the Flying Tiger Army.
Wang Meng shouted loudly: "It's Brother Huyanzan who came? ”
"Second brother, the younger brother is Hu Yanzan, and these 20,000 brothers are all their own people."
"Wowha, that's great. The eldest brother is mighty, Mr. Simon is clever, and the commander of Huyan has worked hard. Brother, change the flag. ”
A Flying Tiger Army battle flag flew towards Huyanzan, and a Great Qin Army flag was thrown to the ground and was trampled to pieces by the horse's hooves.
"Brother, who is that little rabbit jumping around?"
"That's the puppet Qin general Chen Guang."
"Wow ha, catch him and cut down the sacrificial flag, kill!"
"Kill!"
50,000 cavalry killed Chen Guang, even if Chen Guang was stupid, he understood that his cavalry had all defected, and he shouted: "It's over, hurry up." ”
More than 30 guards followed Chen Guang and ran desperately towards the garrison of the Great Qin Army. At this moment, Yan Sheng was commanding the army to attack the city, and he suddenly heard the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he turned his head to look, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Where is this army?"
"Your Majesty, this must be the Flying Tiger Army."
"What, the Flying Tiger Army arrived so soon, and what about my cavalry, aren't they going to stop the Flying Tiger Army?"
"Your Majesty~~~~~, hey, mom, I'm tired to death. Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, all our cavalry have surrendered to the Zhenbei Army. Chen Guang panted and ran to Yan Sheng to report loudly.
"@##¥¥¥, he's a brother-in-law, these white-eyed wolves. I, I'm going to kill them. ”
"Your Majesty, quickly find a way to stop the Flying Tiger Army."
"That's right, the herald will form a formation and block the Flying Tiger Army."
The Great Qin people will look at me, I will see that you don't speak at all, so angry that Yan Sheng pulled out a long knife and was about to cut someone, Chen Guang hurriedly stopped him.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible for infantry to fight against cavalry without tower shields and iron-walled chariots."
"Then quickly order the tower shield to be erected and the defense line is established with iron-walled cars."
"Your Majesty, we really don't have these two things."
"@###¥¥¥, blast me with a ballista."
"Your Majesty, all the thunderbolts have been struck."
"He's a brother-in-law, all of them form a formation, and they form a spear formation."
This order was quite correct, and the Great Qin Army formed a thick phalanx of more than 100,000 people, with spears pointing in the direction where the Flying Tiger Army was coming from.
Wang Meng, who was on the war horse, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this posture of the Great Qin Army.
"Whahaha, you still want to be an emperor with this ability? This Wu Sheng is really wonderful. Brothers, give them a great meal. ”
Woo woo woo, the mortar was roaring, and the raindrops of shells fell into the large array of the Great Qin Infantry Army, sweeping away the large Qin soldiers. The Great Qin soldiers holding their spears felt the tremor of the earth, and faced the swept Flying Tiger Army with flying shrapnel, their faces were pale and their bodies were like chaff.
Suddenly, a teenage soldier threw away his spear and cried.
"I'm not fighting, I'm going home, mother, mother~~~~~."
The soldier turned around and ran, and with the screams of the soldier, the Great Qin military array, which was barely supporting, collapsed instantly, and the soldiers turned around and ran away, and the officers couldn't stop it at all. Yan Sheng was so angry that he was about to order the personal guards to go to stop him, but he was stopped by Chen Guang.
"Your Majesty, you can't fight, let's run, let's transfer."
After Chen Guang finished speaking, he didn't wait for Yan Sheng's order, pulled Yan Sheng's horse reins and turned around and ran. As a result, the Great Qin Army completely collapsed. More than 100,000 people were driven around by the 50,000 Flying Tiger Army, and Long Xingrong, who was at the head of Jinyang City, shouted excitedly when he saw it: "The pseudo-Qin is defeated, and the soldiers will go out of the city and capture Wu Sheng and Chen Guang alive." ”
"Kill!"
The four gates of Jinyang City were opened, and the soldiers of the rebel army followed the prince out of Jinyang City and killed the Great Qin Army.
Wang Meng and Long Xingrong met on the battlefield, and the two brothers hugged each other and laughed.
"Wowha, second brother, I'm not too late, right?"
"Not too late, not too late, just right, just right."
"Second brother, the eldest brother is adjusting the deployment in the Far East and can't come in person, don't blame him."
"How so? If it weren't for the eldest brother and you, I would have been trapped in this Jinyang City. If it weren't for the big brother who gave me a clever plan, I wouldn't have stopped the 300,000 army of the puppet Qin in front of Jinyang City with just tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. ”
"Hahaha, second brother, after this battle, you can be regarded as a master of the art of war, congratulations to the second brother."
"Hahaha, ashamed, ashamed. It's a pity that he was run away by that Wu Sheng, otherwise this battle could completely quell the rebellion. ”
"Your Highness, General Ling Wuwu has sent all the family members of the puppet Qin, please show Your Highness how to deal with it." Peach Blossom said.
"They are all locked up and strictly guarded. At this moment, even if Wu Sheng ran to the edge of the sky, he was not afraid. ”
There is an unnamed mountain between Jinyang and Pingzhou, and there is an unnamed river under the mountain, and the defeated troops of the Great Qin army are concentrating here one after another at this moment. A simple cloth tent was erected on the top of the mountain, and Yan Sheng was sitting cross-legged on the grass in the tent in a daze. A few months ago, he was a generation of emperors in dragon robes, but now he is hiding in this unknown barren mountain like a lost dog. The 300,000-strong army now has less than 20,000 remnants left, and the Golden State and Pingzhou have been lost, and the foundation that has been laid so hard is destroyed. Now there is no food, no land, no soldiers, and even his wife and children have been arrested together.
The more Yan Sheng thought about it, the more depressed he became, he carefully recalled what had happened before and after, and suddenly realized that he had forgotten the idea at the beginning of the uprising, and was carried away by the victory and great success. If he had listened to the advice of Pingzhou Thorn History, he would not have been defeated so quickly and so miserably.
"The emperor doesn't have to be upset, there is no smooth sailing for those who have achieved great things, just let us make a comeback."
Chen Guang handed a pot of water and a piece of roast horse meat to Yan Sheng, and Yan Sheng took it gratefully and said: "Brother Chen Xian, only you are the most loyal, no matter whether you succeed or fail, my brother will never forget you." ”
"Your Majesty, before the uprising, we were just two outcasts, and now who in the world doesn't know the names of you and me. As soon as the faint gentleman heard the names of the two of us, he must have been unable to eat and sleep restlessly, and we were reckless enough to make the high-ranking emperor afraid of us like this, and this life was enough. ”
"Hahahaha, that's right, this life is enough, let future generations comment on the merits and demerits. Brother Xian, let's take a short break and move immediately. I thought it would be better to go back to Jiangnan, which is our hometown and our roots. With the support of our fellow villagers in Jiangnan, we will definitely make a comeback. ”
"Yes, let's go back to Jiangnan."
The idea is good, and the strategic direction is also very right, but first of all, we must break through layers of barriers, and we must cross the wide Qingjiang River to return to Jiangnan. The two discussed and discussed, and felt that it was better to turn to Jizhou, pass through Youzhou and finally reach Liaozhou and capture the Liaozhou Naval Division's warship, so that they could go straight to the south of the Yangtze River. In this way, we can avoid the Jinyang front line where heavy troops are gathered, and we can take advantage of the fact that the auxiliary troops in various places are transferred to quell the rebellion and the local defense is empty, and replenish the source of materials and troops again. If the timing is right, it is also possible to settle in Youzhou. And when you arrive in Youzhou, as long as you worship the ancestral tomb of the Yan family and declare yourself as the descendant of the Yan family again, you will definitely be able to drag the Yan family into your chariot.
The more they talked, the more excited they became, and they didn't notice that a soldier with a bandage on his arm covered his stomach and quietly left them, and when this soldier came to a secluded place, he quickly wrote a note, and took out a pigeon from his arms, stuffed the note into the bamboo pipe on the pigeon's leg, and raised his hand, and the pigeon hula flew into the sky and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Ximen Qing burned a note in the Youzhou Thorn History Mansion, turned to Youzhou Thorn Shi Zhuang Dayan and said: "Wu Sheng's wolf ambition turned his attention to the foundation of the lord, and he actually wanted to visit the tomb of the ancestors of the Yan family, trying to confuse the eyes and ears of the people in the world. This thief is not eliminated from the lord, and there will be endless troubles. ”
"It's better to inform Liaodonghou and let him annihilate this thief on the spot."
"No, let the thief come."
"Sir wants to use this to bring the land of the four states into the lord's command?"
"That's right, the main thing is the Liaozhou Sailor. Yang Ligong, the governor of the Liaodong Navy Division, has been successfully subdued by Xiaoxian, but he has a pair of cronies who will be Li Ke for a while, and if this person is not removed, it will inevitably affect the future plan, if you want to get rid of him, isn't this thief the best knife? ”
"Haha, Mr. Dacai, I will inform the hope and meritorious service, and let them cooperate with the action."
"Okay, there's a laborer. From now on, Jizhou Youzhou and Liaozhou will expand. The lord will also send a strong army back to defend the four states, I guess it must be the Zhenbei army back. Hehe, as soon as the Zhenbei Army comes back, the four states will be settled, and we can rest assured that we can boldly build the four states. ”
"But I'm worried about Liaodong, which is the land of Your Majesty's Longxing, and it's hard to say that people's hearts are back. And the clan of the son of the army is very suspicious, I don't know if the commander of Zhou can eliminate this trouble. ”
"Don't worry about this, the lord is now the prince's sworn brother, and he is his own person to the people of Liaodong, they will definitely obey, not to mention that there is also Liaodong Hou."
"Oh? Why is that? ”
"Hehe, come here with your ears." (To be continued.) )
