Chapter 19: The War Ends

Zhang Yan's main force has more than 10,000 elite troops, as well as the elite thieves in several other directions, and the total number has reached as many as 30,000 or 40,000! This is the place where Zhang Yan focuses on attacking this time! The troops in other directions are also entangled by the thieves of various departments, and there is no chance to rush! After all, there are still thirty or forty thousand thieves scattered everywhere, and the number of troops that can fight in the Wenchou jurisdiction is only a little more than 10,000! How can they break through the siege of thieves? This is a positive doppelganger for the generals and soldiers under Wen Chou!

According to the development of events, even if it is Wen Chou's five thousand martial arts and fierce righteousness in the county, he may not be able to resist the attack organized by Zhang Yan. But fortunately, Wen Chou brought in Han Fu, a big man, so that this battle can be safe! Is this Wen Chou's luck? Or is it Zhang Yan's misfortune?

Wen Chou's aid made the already precarious Gaoyi County regain stability. Even though Zhang Yan had several times the strength of Wen Chou, he still couldn't take the city quickly, and as long as he could hold on for a while, then the armies of Lu Yi, Han Furen and others would be able to arrive, thus completely turning the tide of the battle.

For this bloody fact, Zhang Yan has no way to change, even if he has tried his best to unite and encourage all the surrounding Montenegrin military departments, but he can't compete with nearly half of the elite in Jizhou, especially this is not their home field.

In this way, Zhang Yan must have suffered huge losses in this move, and this is also an alternative for him to meet Wen Chou, otherwise according to Zhang Yan's strategy, his power will definitely be much stronger than now. This is also the reason why Zhang Yan was able to entrench in the Taihang Mountain area of Jizhou for one or two decades.

The battle between Wen Chou and Zhang Yan lasted for more than half a month, during which Zhang Yan was in an absolute advantage in the early stage, defeating Wen Chou's forces one after another, and the main city of Gaoyi County was even more precarious! In the middle period, the elite army of Wenchou and Koji Yi took the lead in coming to the rescue, with a total of nearly 10,000 new troops, and successfully stopped the decline. And to a certain extent, there is a sense of counterattack.

At this time, in addition to the main city of Gaoyi County, the jurisdiction of the Wenchou forces is still in danger! Until the arrival of Han Fu's brigade and horses, Zhang Yan's army was retreated in a battle, which also lifted the danger of Gaoyi and houses. It also marks Wen Chou's victory over Zhang Yan's third battle formation! Although it was also a fiasco.

Why is it a fiasco, but it is because the reinforcements of Zi Ah Wen Chou and Han Fu have not arrived. The forces of Wen Chou were in an absolutely inferior position, and under the fierce attack of Zhang Yanzhi's army, the losses were serious!

Of the more than 10,000 troops left behind, only 6,000 survived, and more than 10,000 civilians died in the battle, which shows the fierceness of the battle. In addition, the armies of Wen Chou, Ko Yi and Han Fu also suffered some losses. As the vanguard army, the elite of Wenchou's return to aid lost nearly a thousand, and Koji Yi arrived later. also lost three or four hundred, and Han Fu's army, whose quality was uneven, also lost more than a thousand. These are the troops of Jizhou.

Of course, since they had such heavy losses, their military exploits were also very great, and they killed more than 30,000 or 40,000 thieves, and nearly 10,000 thieves were captured by Wen Chou. As a result, Zhang Yan and other black mountain thieves who were entrenched in Changshan Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, Julu County, Wei County and other Black Mountain Bandits suffered huge losses, and they were forced not to talk about it. At least there is no possibility of organizing an invasion of such a scale within half a year, which can be regarded as breaking their muscles and bones.

This not only has great benefits for Wen Chou, so that there is no danger of thieves and robbers in his influence area for the time being, and there is no difficulty in invasion, and a stable and peaceful development can be carried out to a certain extent; This is also a great success for Jizhou Mu Hanfu! The first dispatch of troops can temporarily disperse and deter the Black Mountain thieves who have plagued Jizhou for several years! This has an indescribable gain for the establishment of its prestige in Jizhou. So that he can better grasp the power of Jizhou.

This is also very beneficial to the people of Koji. It makes his position as the head of the Jizhou military more solid and more well-known to everyone! so that Wen Chou, an emerging force, could not compete for his limelight. After this battle, Wen Chou's power has shrunk greatly, and its elite division has suffered serious losses, and it is no longer worthy of the name of 'Jizhou Twin Heroes'. And Koji's elite army was not in this battle array. What a loss. On the contrary, you can get a lot of thank you gifts from Wen Chou and gain a lot of military resources in the battle array! Make his power rise even further!

This battle was a big loss for Wen Chou. The official losses of Jizhou are mainly on his side, and he also has to provide a batch of 'thank you gifts' for Liyi, Han Fu and others to thank them for their help! But it also won a good opportunity for the development of Pingjian, Gaoyi and other places! If you don't want to pay for the loss of this battle formation, then Wen Chou and his forces must develop further! Efforts should be made to make up for the losses of this war from development.

After that, according to Tian Feng's advice, Wen Chou made a certain amount of war compensation to Han Fu and Lu Yi, which made them have a good impression of Wen Chou, and then successfully sent the two armies back to Wei County and Ye County. As a result, the forces of the literary and ugly have successfully passed this crisis.

After arranging the post-war recovery of Gaoyi County and other places, Wen Chou did not immediately lead the army back to Zhiye County, but rushed to Yuanshi County, where he went to find Li Jin, the minister of state, and also met with Lieutenant Changshanguo.

First, it is to thank them for their assistance to their own forces in this battle, and secondly, it is to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the soldiers of Changshan County. This is because Wen Chou saw that Lieutenant Chang Shanguo had changed his attitude towards himself because of the current Minister Li Jin, and Wen Chou's power in this war was seriously reduced, which made Wen Chou have the idea of forming an alliance with the county soldiers.

Such a wish was endorsed by Minister of State Li Jin, and even more so for Lieutenant Chang Shanguo, who had already stepped down and gone to his county. At the moment when Li Jin received the prime minister of Changshan State, the lieutenant, who had been immersed in Changshan Country for several years, had already had the idea of leaving this place and put it into action. This is because he has expected that the development of the power of Wen Chou in Changshan Country has become irrepressible.

And as an existence that he did not deal with Wen Chou before, there was naturally no need to continue to stay here. Although Wen Chou is quite open-minded, who can guarantee that after Wen Chou gains power, he will not stumble behind his back? That's why he had to stay away from it. (To be continued......)
