Chapter Fifty-Eight: Encountering an Army of 300,000 [One Update]

This brocade guard paused slightly at this point.

"How much did you lose in battle?"

"Eight hundred iron horsemen were damaged in battle, one hundred and seventy were seriously wounded, and five hundred were lightly wounded!" Jin Yiwei read.

Hua Mulan frowned suddenly, this battle loss was obviously a great victory compared to their results, but she knew that if the follow-up army of the Ziyang Kingdom arrived at this time, it would be troublesome.

"The order, count the lives of soldiers damaged in battle, must be compensated heavily, and at the same time make every effort to heal the seriously wounded soldiers, lightly injured soldiers to deal with their injuries, and the rest of the people, clean the battlefield, especially the equipment useful for defending the city, all move into Wanhe City to prevent the enemy army. ”

"Yes!"

Everyone followed Mulan's orders.

"The last general, Han Sen, meet the imperial concubine!"

At this time, Han Sen, the guard of Wanhe City, came down from the city tower, his face was pale, and he knelt on one knee in front of Mulan.

When Hua Mulan heard this, her face immediately turned red, this Han Sen actually called herself the imperial concubine, and she was still a yellow flower girl! When did she become the imperial concubine?

But she just blushed, but she didn't explain.

Looking at Han Sen, Hua Mulan said in a deep voice: "General Han, I hope you will be called General Hua in the future!"

Han Sen was stunned for a moment, but he still quickly said, "Yes!"

"General Han, you have made meritorious contributions in guarding Wanhe City, and I will report to Your Majesty!" Hua Mulan said.

Han Sen smiled bitterly and said, "Emperor... General Hua, I don't dare to take this credit, if it weren't for the fact that the county lord immediately decided to put 100,000 city guards into battle that day, Wanhe City would have been broken in the first wave of attacks of the Ziyang Kingdom!"

"Your Majesty will not forget any meritorious minister, and will definitely posthumously be crowned the county lord of Zhongshan County! But your merits are also beyond doubt, under the attack of the Ziyang Kingdom, with only 20,000 remnants of the army, guarding Wanhe City for six days, Your Majesty will not forget your merits!"

Han Sen smiled bitterly in his heart, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the vanguard general of the Purple Sun Kingdom had suffered too much damage on the first day of battle and had not invested much in the attack, Wanhe City would have been broken a long time ago.

But for the credit, he still dares to bear it!

He immediately said: "The last general, thank you general!"

Hua Mulan groaned slightly and asked, "Regarding the follow-up army of the Ziyang Kingdom, when will it arrive?"

"According to the information we have received, the 700,000 army behind the Ziyang Kingdom is still four days away from Wanhe City!"

After a slight pause, he cautiously glanced at Mulan and asked, "General, when will our reinforcements arrive?"

"General Gao Shun has set off with 150,000 Praetorian Guards, and it is only four days away from Wanhe City, now it depends on whether General Gao's reinforcements are fast, or the 700,000 troops of the Ziyang Kingdom are faster!"

When Han Sen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, 150,000 reinforcements, or the most terrifying Praetorian Guard in the Southern Yan Kingdom, would definitely be able to hold Wanhe City.

Hua Mulan didn't tell Han Sen that Lu Feng personally led a large army to capture Yangping Valley, not many people knew about this matter, and she had to keep it a secret.

"General Han, next I will leave five hundred iron cavalry and one thousand Praetorian Guards for you, you let them repair the city wall, and I will personally lead three thousand iron cavalry to harass the army of the Ziyang Kingdom and give General Gao time to them!"

"This ...... General Hua, we are still ......"

"You don't need to say much, this is the task that Your Majesty has given me!"

After Hua Mulan finished speaking, she immediately led three thousand uninjured iron horsemen to pursue in the direction of the rout of the vanguard army of the Ziyang Kingdom.

Only this time the speed was very slow, on the one hand, to let the horses slow down, and on the other hand, to allow the army to eat something and recover their strength.

Three days later, Lu Feng, Lu Bu, and Jia Xu led more than 90,000 iron horsemen to be less than a day's journey from Yangping Valley.

"Your Majesty, after three days of hurrying, the soldiers are already very tired, let everyone rest!" Lu Bu said respectfully in front of Lu Feng.

Along the way, in order to reach Yangping Valley as soon as possible, the rest time of the army added up to less than three hours, and the army was very tired.

Lu Feng also knew that the combat effectiveness of the tired army was low, so he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, order the army, rest in place for four hours, recover your strength, and next, what awaits us is a fierce battle!"

"Yes!"

Lu Bu immediately sent an order.

"Wenhe!"

"The minister is here!"

"Let Jinyi Wei act as a scout, I want to know the route from Yangping Valley to us, between us and the army of the Ziyang Kingdom, and any useful news!"

"Yes!"

Jia Xu immediately arranged to go.

Lu Feng looked at it, turned over and dismounted, found a place, closed his eyes and rested, he didn't rest much for three days.

"Report!"

After resting for less than two hours, suddenly Jin Yiwei's voice woke Lu Feng up.

He also had Lu Bu and Jia Xu by his side.

"Speak!"

Lu Feng immediately opened his eyes and looked at the Jinyi guard in front of him.

"Your Majesty, a hundred miles ahead, we have found the army of the Purple Sun Kingdom!"

"What?"

Lu Feng, Lu Bu, and Jia Xu were all taken aback, and immediately asked, "How can there be an army of the Ziyang Kingdom in this place? How many people are there?

"I don't know the exact number, but there must be about 300,000, and the flag is hanging Jiang!"

"Jiang?"

Jia Xu groaned slightly, suddenly startled, and said: "There is only one general surnamed Jiang in the Ziyang Kingdom, it is Jiang Lixiao of the northern army, and he is the general of the northern part of the Ziyang Kingdom!"

Lu Feng frowned slightly, and said, "Is this Jiang Lixiao very powerful?"

"It's not that he's powerful, it's just that he has the only cavalry in the Ziyang Kingdom under his hands, a total of 30,000 people, although the combat effectiveness is not good, but it will cause me some trouble after all!"

Lu Feng's face changed, the reason why they dared to march like this was because there were no cavalry in the Ziyang Kingdom, but now there was a cavalry?

He looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, your intelligence work is not in place, the Ziyang Kingdom has cavalry, and there are 30,000 people, you didn't even tell you?"

Jia Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I really didn't expect the Ziyang Kingdom to dare to use their northern heavy army, which is the cavalry used to defend against the northern barbarians!"

"Forget it, don't worry about this matter!"

Lu Feng waved his hand, looked at the Jinyi guard in front of him, and asked, "Where have their cavalry marched?"

"Cavalry?"

Jin Yiwei was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Your Majesty, we haven't seen any cavalry in their army!"

"What?"

"No cavalry?"

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed and asked, "Are you sure they don't have cavalry?"

"Lord Commander, how dare I come back and report such a big matter if I am not sure! There really are no cavalry!" said the brocade guard.

"Haha, that's great!"

Jia Xu looked at Lu Feng and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sure that Jiang Lixiao will definitely lead the army to support Zhong Yuda, this is a good opportunity!"
