Chapter 188: Marching into Canglan City

On the upper floor of Nancheng City, Wang Shouye was sitting next to a pillar, staring blankly at the turbulent scene in the city. His head was "bu......zzing", his hands were shaking, he couldn't stop even after reaching out and patting twice, and he didn't have any strength in his body.

Of the more than 100 people under Wang Shouye's command, there are only 20 left, most of them are still injured, and the entire 100 households team has long been unable to fight. So they stayed on the castle tower, and they had no intention of going down to fight.

He watched motionlessly as countless people fought frantically, and I don't know how long it took for his head to move slightly, and he found that the acquaintance sitting next to him was Old Man Liu. Old man Liu's mouth cracked, with a very strange expression, and he also stared at the city in a daze.

"Old man Liu's life is so big, no wonder he can live to be fifty years old." Wang Shouye said in a hoarse voice.

Old man Liu turned his head to look at him, but he didn't say anything. After a long time, Old Man Liu said loudly: "Live to this, it doesn't matter if you live or die." ”

Wang Shouye snorted, speechless.

At this moment, I suddenly saw General Sun Jie walk into the city tower. Sun Jie walked in and said, "Brothers, everyone has a reward! ”

No one responded to the general's words, and the remaining half-dead people seemed to have little interest in the reward. Sun Jie said again: "The dead brothers also have generous pensions!" You waited to stand up first, and General Zhao came to the city. ”

Only then did the troops support each other and stand up one after another, and everyone was silent, perhaps they really had no strength.

After a while, I saw Zhao Gong walking into the city tower surrounded by a group of generals in bright armor. Zhao Gongxian looked around at the surrounding soldiers, and Sun Jie and the others immediately bowed with a look of worship: "The last general will wait to meet the general!" "There are also many soldiers who follow the military salute one after another.

Zhao Gong shook his fist on the side of his face, and stared at the scene of thick smoke and flickering sword light outside the city tower without saying a word. There was still a buzz in the air.

After a long time, Zhao Gong sighed in a sad tone: "In this victory, the soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. ”

Sun Jie hurriedly said: "Most of the main forces of the Donghu Army are in Canglan, not in the Danxi City in the south, this city has one-third of the main force of Donghu!" With the national strength and population of the Donghu country, they suffered heavy losses in this battle. ”

"Fortunately, the general was well organized, and in less than a month he captured the heavy city and cut off one-third of the enemy's main force. Although the soldiers shed blood and suffered casualties, they won the battle, and it was worth it! ”

Zhao Gong was noncommittal, and it seemed that the victory was not as exciting as he imagined. The two generals said a few words, and the generals followed them out of the castle tower and went east together.

Wang Shouye and the others all sat down again and continued to be in a daze like dead people.

He didn't want to say anything, there were only about twenty wounded soldiers left under his command, what else was there to say?

But it's still better than catching those people in front of me this morning, there are more than a dozen hundred households in front, and there are almost no lives left from the hundred households below the generals.

Wang Shouye only felt that following Sun Jie was a blood mold! After all, the overall casualties of the Cheng army were not so great, and only the death squad under Sun Jie was so miserable.

At this time, Old Man Liu said in a low voice: "I heard that General Sun was rescued by General Zhao before, and this time he made a great contribution in front of Zhao Gong, I'm afraid that it will be time to run." ”

The fighting in the city of Wabang did not stop two days after the city was broken. This important western town on the Red River Plain has been completely transformed into a Shura field, with corpses and blood stains all over the streets, and the smell of death filling the smoke of Xiao Killing.

The fighting has spread outside the city, mainly on the riverside north of the city. On three sides of the land, the fortifications of the army have been besieged to death, and only on the river can there be a sailor to respond.

However, most of the people who fled from the river were generals and bureaucrats, and the capacity of the warships was very limited, and they also faced the danger of becoming an army and seizing the ships. Many escaped from the city and died by the river.

The prodigal son on the Red River, every time he hits the shore, there will be countless corpses looming in the water.

In addition to Zhao Gong's 20,000 troops participating in the battle, most of Yang Qi's middle route army was also infantry, and Zhang Wuwu on the right and Xie Xuan, the general, led the army in the southeast, and they also followed into the city when the city was broken.

However, Yang Qi himself was not in Wabang City, he was still in the camp in Xishan.

Two days after the city was broken, Yang Qi received good news. It is estimated on the good news that the head of the Wa Confederation army is about 100,000!

With such strength, the Donghu Army also relied on the strong fortifications of Wabang City, and wiped out a third of the main force in less than a month!?

Yang Qi suddenly felt that although he had never despised Cang Manglong, it seemed that it should not be so smooth.

In the battle of conquering the East and calling for the country, Zhao Gong made great contributions, this person really has extraordinary potential, and he is already a famous general!

Yang Qi pondered that if he went to attack Wabang City, he might not be able to take it within a month. Because Wabang City and Mubang City are not the same thing at all.

He knew very well in his heart that it would not be easy to attack a large city with heavy defense, and he would not be able to capture it for a few years if he was unlucky.

Yang Qi put down the good news, and then he said to a military general beside him: "Wabang City has been broken, and the Donghu reinforcements over there are too late. You continue to send scouts to watch them if they are still coming. ”

The military general hugged his fists and said: "Get the order!" ”

Yang Qi paced a few steps in the tent, and intuitively felt that after the first battle of Wabang City, the Cheng army was already sure of the victory in the battle of Donghu Kingdom. As the supreme commander of this battle, he had to quickly think about the aftermath of the war.

It's good to win a war, but it's best if it can be avoided.

In the camp of Xishan, the war horses under Yang Qi's command were all dressed in colorful painted tiger skins. For he had received a report that the enemy army at the Red River had many elephant soldiers.

The horses disguised as fake tigers, although ridiculous, people look at them fake, and perhaps the elephants know about it. The brightly colored tiger skin can still make the elephant fearful! So all the men and horses of the Ming army learned this trick.

Yang Qi also prepared a large amount of black oil, that is, flammable oil, in the infantry camp to deal with the elephant soldiers. In the dignified field battle, except for the elephant soldiers, Yang Qi didn't take the Donghu Army in his eyes at all.

He ordered the battalion to move twenty miles to the east, let the valley out, wait for the reinforcements of the Donghu army to come out and set up a battle, and then break the enemy head-on!

After waiting for a few days, the Donghu army had not yet left the mountain, and it was too slow.

At this time, five days have passed since the destruction of Wabang City, and the enemy soldiers in Xishan should know the news. Yang Qi even questioned whether the enemy soldiers in Xishan would continue to go north after they had lost their fighters?

Some generals asked for orders to take the initiative, but Yang Qi finally endured it and continued to wait to see the situation...... He really didn't want to go into the mountains and entangle with the enemy soldiers.

At this moment, the city of Wabang once again delivered a military report, accompanied by two black chess flags.

The secret agent sent out by Yang Qi before finally came back!

Yang Qi glanced at the two people who were in the dust, as well as Zhao Gong's messenger, he calmed down and didn't say anything for the time being, and opened the military report first.

Zhao Gong wrote that the city of Wabang was broken, the enemy army was discouraged, and the people of Canglan City were in turmoil. The fighter plane must not be lost, and the last general will take advantage of the victory to march into the vicissitudes and seize the king capital of Donghu in one go!

Zhao Gong has some truth in what he said. However, one-third of the main force of the Donghu army in Wabang City was destroyed, and there was no need for the royal capital of Donghu to attack in a hurry...... But who's going to attack it? Zhao Gong's position is closer to Canglan to the east, so he must want to take Canglan's great credit? !
