Chapter 999: The finishing touch
As soon as he thought of this, Cao Shiping felt relaxed. Since he can't do anything, there is no need for him to cling to it anymore.
However, Cao Shiping didn't plan to withdraw his troops hastily, because since he came with great fanfare, he couldn't be anticlimactic, even if he returned in vain, he had to put his posture enough. At least in this way, in the future, I can give an explanation to the emperor.
After killing Lu Fanglin, Xia Fan didn't stay too long before turning around and leaving.
Xia Fan could actually see that Cao Shiping was not simple, but since he didn't take the initiative to provoke himself, Xia Fan didn't bother to make more strong enemies.
After storming for more than an hour, seeing that there was no hope of breaking the protective array today, and at the same time, the casualties of his soldiers were not light, Cao Shiping immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and set up a large camp, which had the posture of consuming Yong'an County.
It's just that Cao Shiping's plan had to be given up within two days, because Liu Xingchen's holy decree arrived, and although his words were not harsh, they were extremely resolute.
Cao Shiping, who is the left minister, usually has no less contact with the holy decree, and of course what kind of tone the emperor said when he wrote this holy decree. This means that if he procrastinates any longer, he is afraid that before he returns to Beijing, there will be all kinds of holy decrees of reprimand.
In desperation, Cao Shiping had no choice but to spare the lives of his generals and started round after round of futile attacks.
In the face of an impregnable Yong'an county city, unless the city protection array is broken, it is absolutely unrealistic to want to break it through with a crazy attack.
The generals of the Han Dynasty were brave, but not all of them were like this, and the 200,000 troops stationed in Baocang Province were relatively stronger and more resolute. However, this was not the case with the county soldiers who were transferred from various provinces.
If it is a good fight, these county soldiers will naturally be like wolves. Even if they are responsible for defending the city, they can still use it. But this kind of siege battle, which is about to face a tragic death at any time and never see the slightest hope of victory, is enough to quickly wear out the fighting spirit of the county soldiers.
It was at this time that Lu Chuan hurried over with the elite army of 500,000 Han Dynasty led by Geng Qingping, who had just been destroyed.
Despite the rapid march all the way, the army led by Lu Chuan was already a little tired, but because they had just experienced a great victory, the fighting spirit of the generals was quite high.
At this time, when he saw the army of the Han Dynasty attacking Yong'an County, he suddenly became more energetic, and he was eager to try to compete with it again.
"Offense. Lu Chuan saw that the military heart was available, and immediately issued a military order.
"Kill!" In the overwhelming shouts of killing, the army that had just come from a long distance swooped down on Cao Shiping's army like a tiger descending from the mountain, and a fierce battle began.
In terms of numbers, Cao Shiping's army still has a certain advantage. However, there is a certain gap between the combat power of the two sides.
You must know that Originally, Lu Chuan's army was based on the 200,000 troops usually stationed in Baocang Province as the backbone, and the county soldiers of each county were the branches and leaves.
However, in the previous rounds of tragic siege battles, it was precisely the 200,000 troops who suffered the greatest casualties. So much so that now the remaining army accounts for the vast majority of the army with county soldiers.
At this time, when facing the onslaught of Lu Chuan's army, these county soldiers, who were already a little passive and fearful of battle, fell into disadvantage almost as soon as they engaged.
On the battlefield, although the strength of morale is not the decisive factor in victory, it can make the combat power of the two sides with similar strength appear obvious gap, and this is enough to cause the battle situation to tilt.
Although Xia Fan was not on the battlefield, he glanced at it from time to time with his divine thoughts, and when he saw this scene, he was completely relieved, because he knew very well that this battle was won by his side. Unless Cao Shiping can have any unexpected strategy to turn the tables against the sky, he will definitely lose.
Although Lu Chuan's army has gradually gained the upper hand, it is not easy to completely establish the victory, and the battle between the two sides is still ongoing.
It wasn't until the sun went down and night was about to fall that some of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty finally began to flee because they could not bear the heavy casualties, and eventually led to a widespread rout, so that the battle, with a total number of 780,000 people, ended with the victory of Lu Chuan's side.
It's just that there are still many things to do in the future, although Lu Chuan's army won, but the night is approaching, and it will be very difficult to pursue the defeated enemy and capture the prisoners.
As a result, when the prisoners were counted the next day, fewer than 50,000 were captured, and the rest had all fled.
Some of these county soldiers who narrowly escaped ran home, while others began to loot for food and drink......
Of course, these county soldiers who have become rogues are all the people of the Han Dynasty, but they also gave Xia Fan an excuse to send troops to seize the counties, that is, to suppress bandits.
At this time, Liu Xingchen didn't know Xia Fan's thoughts, otherwise he would definitely be angry. Because when he sent Geng Qingping to invade Xia Fan's territory before, he was under the same banner. This feeling of being treated the way others are treated is definitely quite annoying.
"It's a pity that Cao Shiping was not caught and let him run away. After counting the prisoners, Zhao Wei said to Xia Fan with regret.
"It's okay, it's not a bad thing that he ran away. Xia Fan thought about it and comforted casually.
"Boss, should we send troops to capture Baocang Province later?!" Liu Yulinglong asked.
"Yes. Xia Fan nodded and said, "However, Lu Chuan will lead the troops to attack, and you will collect the remnants of the Han Dynasty in the rear." Our troops are still not enough, and if we want to train our own troops now, we will not have time to do so, and the best way is to let the prisoners become our soldiers. ”
"Don't worry, boss, it's not difficult. Zhao Wei replied with a smile.
"That's good. Xia Fan patted the two of them on the shoulder and said, "I believe you can do a good job." In that case, I won't be here anymore, there are still a lot of things I need to do, I have to get to other places as soon as possible, and when the situation is stable, we can do what we want to do. ”
"Really?" Liu Yulinglong asked in surprise.
"That's natural, how could I lie to you about this kind of thing. Xia Fan said with a smile.
"Haha, that's great. Zhao Weiwei laughed happily.
After chatting a few more words, Xia Fan casually told the two of them something, and then left in a flash.
After solving the affairs of Yong'an County, Xia Fan also set his sights on the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
Just in these days, the Holy Dragon Kingdom has sent troops to start attacking the territory of the Divine Eye Country, and there is a posture of swallowing it completely, and it is absolutely difficult to see the extreme.
Although the soldiers and horses assigned by Xia Fan before were also constantly encroaching on the territory of the Shenmu Country, these generals could not be compared with Xia Fan after all, and they could only fight steadily when attacking the city, so although they had results, they really couldn't compare with the Holy Dragon Kingdom's attack degree of thousands of miles a day.
However, what made Xia Fan feel relieved was that at least the progress of the various armies was relatively smooth, and there were no major casualties.
At the same time, these armies also occupy some territory, and after they are connected into pieces, they can be regarded as having a space to flash and move in the Shenmu Country.
It's just that compared to the territory occupied by the Holy Dragon Kingdom, it is really a little pitiful.
For this kind of thing that he worked hard to kill Shen Zhong, but was taken advantage of by Long Xiaoshu, Xia Fan was naturally quite unhappy, and he had long thought about cleaning him up.
It's just that there is a hurry, so he put this matter last.
Now it's time for Xia Fan and Long Xiaoshu to settle this account.
Xia Fan's figure flew rapidly above the sky, and it was thousands of miles away in an instant, and it didn't take long to get from Yong'an County to Xuantian Cliff.
The reason why I came here is because there are still 50,000 troops put down by Xia Fan here. Since he was preparing to counterattack the Holy Dragon Kingdom, he naturally couldn't do it without soldiers and horses in his hands.
"Meet the Lord. As soon as he saw Xia Fan coming, Jin Su hurriedly came out to greet him, and his attitude became more and more respectful.
"No courtesy. Xia Fan waved his hand, and when he saw that he wanted to speak, he stopped, so he said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't have any worries." ”
"Actually, it's not a bad thing, it's a happy thing. The array said with a smile: "Due to the increasing number of coolies recruited, the construction of Baishi City is getting faster and faster, and now it has basically been built seventy or eighty percent, and at the same time, the formation is almost arranged, what is missing is that the Lord has come up to put the finishing touch." ”
"Ahh......h
In fact, he had already told him about this matter, but there were a lot of things recently, and this matter was not particularly important, so he forgot about it.
Now when I heard Zheng Zhensu mention it, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Since that's the case, then let's go." ”
"Lord, please. Jinsu made a gesture of please, and then led the way.
In the battle that day, the Xuantian Cliff was blown up, but the Jinsu didn't know where to move a mountain peak and put it back in the place where the original Xuantian Cliff was, and still called it Xuantian Cliff.
This new Xuantian Cliff is not only the place where the sect created by the Array is located, but also has the effect of suppressing the entire Xuantian Demon Sealing Array.
If it weren't for this mountain peak suppression formation, Xia Fan would not have been able to easily take out the nine-pole Ten Thousand Soul Banners he had inserted in the formation before.
Xia Fan didn't come for some days, and now there are some more buildings on the Xuantian Cliff, the style is very peculiar, and from the point of view, it is located at the node of the formation. Obviously, these houses are not only used for habitation, but also as part of the formation.
Xia Fan is quite appreciative of this kind of fusion of architecture and formation, but there are really not many sects in the world that can do this. After all, not everyone can play the formation to such a freewheeling point.
"Yes, yes, quite ingenious. Xia Fan nodded again and again.
"Thank you Lord for your compliments, they are all done by the disciples. When he said this, he smiled on his face.
There is also a teleportation array on the Xuantian Cliff that is connected to the teleportation array of Baishi City, which also makes the two far apart, which can be said to be located at the north and south ends of Xia Fan's territory, but it is much more convenient to come and go.
It's just that this kind of convenience is limited to Xia Fan and other high-level people, and ordinary people want to cross such a large area, so they should obediently walk on the ground or fly in the sky.
