Chapter 7 Please call me Zhou Guangwu Emperor Chai Xiu
No matter when the week after tomorrow will be over, anyway, when Zhao Kun is still there, it will definitely not be finished. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info And as the army goes all the way north, or a little more directly, as Zhao Kun gets closer and closer to the Northern Han Khitan coalition army, these two forces are going to end.
On March 11, Zhao Kun ordered Zhao Kuangyin and other war-fearing generals to be beheaded, and the forbidden army was in an uproar. It's just that most of the forbidden army commanded by the ten brothers of the Righteous Society is occupied by reincarnated people who have experienced illusions and started their missions. Their main quest is to help Da Zhou rule the world, and at the same time, the host of the shelter will also issue tasks automatically or according to Zhao Kun's request.
With the help of the grassroots officers, the head of the commander of the army did not cause any major chaos when he landed on the ground. As for the generals and even middle-level generals who have chills in their hearts, rabbits and foxes are sad, and even centrifugation, Zhao Kuncai is too lazy to care. Anyway, after such a trouble, the Zhou army marched very quickly. Zhao Kun killed Zhao Kuangyin on March 11, and on March 16, almost including the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military camp, he arrived in Hanoi.
Despite this, the eleven days of the 350-mile journey from Bianliang to Hanoi still dissatisfied Zhao Kun - the average marching speed of more than 30 miles a day can be said to have fallen back to the level of classical warfare in the early Spring and Autumn period.
At this time, the news of the vanguard had also reached Hanoi, informing the emperor that the advance troops from the local area had gathered in Zezhou. Zhao Kun had no choice but to order a double trip and speed up to Zezhou. The forbidden army marched more than 120 miles in three daysβfor there was a considerable period of narrow and rugged roadβand finally entered Zezhou on 19 March.
In fact, Zhao Kun ran helplessly in the last paragraph. Because with the progress of the enemy's southward movement, the best place to assemble in front of the enemy has become Zezhou. Didn't he know that the last leg was too fast? But there was no way, since the enemy army had not yet moved south, he could only let the Zhou army go north to meet the battle.
Further north of Zezhou is Luzhou, which is actually already in the Khitan control area, and the Khitan cavalry has blocked that area, which greatly affects the sentinels of the Zhou army, and the information is unknown. And losing the scout horse, Zhou Jun is equivalent to being blind in one eye. If you rashly go north to support Luzhou, you may encounter enemy troops at any time and even be raided, while the Zhou army has a hard time understanding the battlefield situation and is too prone to problems.
As for Hanoi or Huaizhou, which is fifty miles away from Hanoi, under the condition that the enemy army does not go south, the decisive battle of the main force requires the large army to go through the Taihang Mountain, and the Yangjiban Road, which can only be passed by one person and one horse, is obviously not suitable for the enemy's advance army. The presence of a large army in Hanoi is equivalent to handing over the Jinnan region to others. What's more, Zezhou guards the Tianjing Pass, which must not be lost, and when the updated military report from Luzhou is not obtained, it is also necessary for the army to be stationed in Zezhou.
Moreover, the continuous rush made everyone from the ministers of the retinue to the soldiers exhausted, and it was necessary to rest in Zezhou for a while.
Of course, although the forbidden army was tired and needed to rest, before the personal expedition, Zhao Kun had already sent Bai Chongzan, the envoy of the Huazhou Jiedu, Shi Yan, the defense envoy of Zhengzhou, and Fu Yanneng, the former envoy of the Yaozhou regiment, to Zezhou and prepare for defense.
Unlike Zhou Shizong in history, Zhao Kun was actually very aware of Liu Chong's movements. Li Yun of Luzhou has been in battle for a long time, and he will not lose the city for a while. And Liu Chongjiu couldn't conquer it, so he planned to pass the city and continue to go south.
If he is not aware of the other party's movements, he will probably also mobilize his subordinates to go north. Because staying in Zezhou and waiting for Liu Chong to come to the door seems to be stable, but in fact he is passive and cowardly. Because the current situation in Luzhou is unknown, there is more than one passage in Taihang Mountain, and there is also a Huguan in Luzhou, although from there there is an important town in Hebei, and a large army has been stationed to defend against the Khitan.
And like Chai Rong in history, Zhao Kun also fought a wave of thoughts that wiped out the Khitan coalition army of the Northern Han Dynasty. In addition to himself leading the army north to Luzhou, he also arranged two other armies like Chai Rong to flank - Fu Yanqing, the envoy of the Tianxiong Army, led the troops from Guzhen Road in Cizhou to Luzhou, and Guo Chong was the deputy of the Zhenning Army; Wang Yan led the troops to take the east of Jinzhou Road to invite the attack, and Han Tong was the deputy of the Baoyi Jiedu. If everything goes well, the Chinese army will engage in the battle first, and the left and right armies will outflank them, and they will eat all the living forces of the other side in waves, and it will not be difficult to engage in a war of annihilation.
Unlike in history, the Zhou army commanded by Zhao Kun was not in a hurry to go north, but was only seizing the time to recover his strength. The former army of the Northern Han Dynasty did not encounter the main force of the Zhou army in Gaoping in the process of going south and was defeated, but successfully occupied Gaoping, and then Liu Chong, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, also led the main force to the south and stationed in Bagongyuan.
When Zhao Kun's troops were preparing for battle, Liu Chong, who led the Han army to the south, had also arrived at Bagongyi and was stationed, and before going to bed, he was still complacent about his strategy - first ambushed Li Yun's subordinate Mu Lingjun at Lianghouyi, and then forced Li Yun to abandon Taipingyi and retreat to Luzhou with a strong force and a new victory. He already knew that Zezhou had soldiers and horses coming to help, but he believed that the Zhou army that came to help would not be the opponent of the coalition army. Liu Chong felt that when he led the Han and Khitan coalition forces out of Tianjing Pass, it should be the time when the Beijing division was shocked and the counties of Henan were looking down on the wind......
I have to say that although Liu Chong is ugly, he thinks of beauty!
ββββββββββ
Although the two sides were separated by thirty or forty miles, Zhao Kun knew early that the main force of the Northern Han army was camped in Bagongyuan.
When Liu Chong slept, Zhao Kun had not yet rested. It happened that Wang Pu and other civil officials and a few cronies and military generals were on the side, so he simply led them to walk around the courtyard, and then asked left and right, "Tang Taizong once said, 'Take history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall', have you ever read the Han book?" β
The generals were silent, but the civil officials were quite relaxed, and Wang Pu said calmly, "I have read it." β
"What is better than Emperor Guangwu of Han?" Zhao Kun asked with a smile behind his back hand.
"Emperor Guangwu led Wan and Ye Zhizhong, and scattered the scattered soldiers, bloody Kunyang, drove Wuguan for a long time, broke the million Chen, destroyed the army of the Nine Tigers, thundered the four seas, swept the world, eliminated the chaos, destroyed the wayless, and between the first phase, the sea was decided. Following the martyrdom of Gaozu, the cultivation of civil and military affairs, the revival of the society, and the brilliance of the flames. The official family is on the throne for the first time, but it is not as good as it. β
Zhao Kun laughed and asked Wang Pu, "I want to follow the story of Kunyang, what does Wang Qing think?" Before he finished speaking, a meteor fell into the camp of the Northern Han Dynasty in Bagongyuan. He stretched out his hand and said to the ministers, "The destiny of heaven is in me, where the meteor fell to the ground, the camp of the Northern Han army is also." Tomorrow there will be clouds like bad mountains during the day, when the camp falls, I should lead the crowd to attack it, and Jinyang can be expected. β
After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the palace, "All the ministers can return, and see if I break the enemy tomorrow." β
ββββββββββββ
The next day, the weather was sunny and the sun was shining.
On the uneven wilderness, 100,000 Northern Han Khitan coalition troops, as well as tens of thousands of Zhou troops, each launched and prepared for a big battle.
However, the people on the Khitan side of the Northern Han Dynasty, from the generals to the soldiers, were panicked - the casualties caused by the meteor smashing the camp last night were insignificant compared to the more than 100,000 people, but this omen was too bad. Many people have other thoughts in their hearts.
In contrast, on the side of Zhou Jun, the emperor's words had spread last night, although many people were skeptical, but some people suspected in their hearts, some people secretly disdained it, and some people were eager to try...... There is just nothing to affect the idea of war optimism.
After the confrontation, the two sides were not in a hurry, and Zhao Kun stepped forward directly - he deliberately got a bag of equipment for today. Zhao Kun was wearing a yellow robe, a white horse on his hip, a golden helmet and gold armor, followed by a yellow umbrella, and the emperor's guard of honor, and both sides were all elite of the forbidden army.
"Someone!" He stretched out his hand to the side, "Bring me my weapon." β
As a result, the three forbidden soldiers struggled to resist this pure gold Qinglong Glaive Knife, maybe it should be better to call it the Golden Dragon Glaive Knife? At this time, storytelling was not yet popular, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms did not even have a shadow, but everyone did eat this set. If you want to make a myth as soon as possible, you have to be able to put on a show.
The generals of this year also inherited the attributes of their ancestors, such as Zhang Yuanhui, the first fierce general of the Northern Han Dynasty, who has always boasted that no one can stop him wherever he goes. That guy is a big red robe, a silver helmet and silver armor, an iron spear, and he looks very good. He is indeed strong in martial arts, but above the battle array, he actually relies on well-armored soldiers on the left and right flanks. The group of people was so fierce that they were wearing iron armor with men and horses. The arrows beckoned up, but even the armor couldn't shoot through, and the personal soldiers blocked it, and the group protected the general in the middle. In the era of cold weapons, there is such a heavy armored unit to take the lead in the charge, it must be invincible.
In contrast, Zhao Kun doesn't need those personal soldiers, a set of protective arrows and various shields, and he can go out of the battle by himself.
Of course, he still has to give his mount a spell before he goes out to pretend to be X. The knife is pure gold, but it is sharpened, and it is also strengthened by spells, plus the whole body armor with various patterns, the total weight is one hundred and ninety pounds, plus his weight...... More than 350 pounds is not an ordinary horse that can gallop.
"The Emperor of the Great Zhou is here, who dares to fight to the death with me!"
In front of the Zhou army, Zhao Kun, who came out with the emperor's guard of honor, immediately said to the army on the opposite side like a pretending to be a criminal. Amplification can easily reach the ears of every sergeant, so there is no need to shout at all.
"The Emperor of the Great Zhou is here, who dares to fight to the death with me!"
Zhao Kun began to play the Three Kingdoms game.
The Northern Han army began to change formations, and it was obvious that it was a very tempting goal to be able to take out the opposing commander in one wave.
"Fight and not fight, retreat and not retreat, but why!" Zhao Kun pretended not to see the movement of the other side and continued. After a burst of unnoticed magic fluctuations, the first fierce general of the Northern Han Dynasty and his own soldiers, who were preparing to rush over with the cavalry, were shocked and shattered. They all fell off their horses and died.
Zhao Kun raised his sword and waved, and the clouds in the air also changed. Immediately, there were clouds like bad mountains, when the battle fell, and the ground was scattered, the Khitan army of the Northern Han Dynasty trembled, and the soldiers were tired of ambushing. Zhao Kun also took the opportunity to order the Zhou army to cover up, and he personally took the lead and launched a charge. By the time he approached, most of the coalition forces had not yet recovered from the natural disaster. There were also two stunned people who were not afraid of death reacted, and rushed over with a spear as soon as they urged the war horse.
Then Zhao Kun didn't dodge, relying on defense, and even killed people and horses with a knife.
Under the emperor's lead charge, although the Zhou army camp was also chaotic, in general, it still called on the emperor before the war to attack.
The coalition army was beaten miserably, first suffered a round of natural disasters, the military flag fell, and the generals didn't know how to fight for a while, and then they found that they were Zhou cavalry in front and behind, and it was difficult to escape. What's even more disastrous is that the Zhou army is attacking in waves, and the cavalry is followed by a wave of advancing infantry troops, and the soldiers who are already war-hearted, and the soldiers who are afraid in their hearts can't beat the forbidden army of the Zhou Dynasty at all.
Soon, the coalition forces were scattered in terror, and even the Supreme Commander was so frightened that he could only flee.
Seeing this, Zhao Kun waved his hand again, there was a big thunderstorm, the roof tiles and flags were flying, the rain was like a note, the river was overflowing, the tigers and leopards were all fighting, the soldiers were fighting, the drowning people were tens of thousands, and the water did not flow. As a result, the Zhou army obtained all the treasures of its army and chariots, and it was impossible to win......
ββββββββββ
What is Mandate of Heaven? This is called Destiny. Two AOE (Area of Effect) spells were thrown over, and Zhou Jun only needed to attack, and then level A all the way. Before the Zhou army and the Northern Han Dynasty fought, that round of Luoyun had already injured a lot of the Northern Han army, and even the Khitans had no heart to fight. In the case of the soul possession of the opponent's soldiers, Commander Tang, and the strategic shift is like flying, even the guards who are lazy and have mixed qualities can chase the Northern Han for dozens of miles. The previous battle plan and strategic arrangement of the Zhou army were useless - how could man beat nature? Fighting all the way, Zhou Jun should not win too easily.
After winning this battle, Zhao Kun was still not satisfied, and he ordered the Zhou army to immediately attack Jinyang (Taiyuan) with victory, intending to destroy the Northern Han in one go. The main forces of the Northern Han were either defeated or killed and captured, and the Khitan soldiers and horses were similar. Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, after the Zhou army cleared the battlefield, he immediately pulled out the camp and went north to reinforce Luzhou. Before that, the cavalry and vanguard of the Zhou army also bit the other side's rout, trying to completely kill the opponent's main force.
Even so, in May, after scattering and attacking, the main force of the Zhou army regrouped and then appeared under the city of Jinyang. The line from Jinyang to Taihang Mountain has been controlled by the Zhou army, and the east of Taihang Mountain is also the Hebei towns under the rule of the Zhou Dynasty. The rout of the army in a panic has been almost swept away, and even if they are guarding the Jinyang Jiancheng, those who defend the city are also panicked.
At that time, the situation on the battlefield had already spread, not only a large group of people on the Zhou Dynasty's side knelt for the emperor, especially those Wenchen generals who were asked about Emperor Guangwu - the set of things that day was almost exactly the same as some things in Emperor Guangwu's book...... And the Northern Han and Khitan are similar. Everyone said that the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was the true son of heaven, and no one could defeat him on the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
