The land of the Seven Counties of Luohe. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A group of cavalry galloped in the direction of the county town from a distance, and the sun shone down, and the cavalry team reflected a silver reflection. It looks like the sun moving on the earth.

The cavalry commander at the head looked through his helmet and looked in the direction of the county town. Not long ago, this county town was no longer the territory of the Xia Kingdom. The pioneer army had already arrived, and with an army of less than 5,000 men, they had captured the county, which was defended by 3,000 men.

It is impossible to do this in a normal offensive and defensive war. Although I don't know what internal responses have been deployed by the Xia State troops, it seems that these internal responses are highly skilled and well-thought-out. With the attack of the pioneer troops, in just 20 days, all the seven counties were captured.

"The white guard has made a great contribution this time. Zhang Chao thought silently in his heart, and as a member of the elite cavalry corps of the Chu State, Zhang Chao did not play any role on this battlefield.

The king of Zhennan of the Xia Kingdom retreated to the checkpoint with the repulsed troops, and outside the checkpoint, there were at least fourteen or so counties. Seven neighboring ones have already been taken, as long as the military strength of the Chu State is sufficient, in less than a month, it will not be a problem to double the territory.

And Li Hai, the general of the marching army of Chu who invaded the seven counties, had this in mind, otherwise he would not have transferred the most elite attacking troops of Chu State, the Iron Cavalry Regiment, with a single order.

This time, Zhang Chao brought 3,000 people. One man and two horsemen, within ten days, the king of Chu rushed to the border of the Luohe River. The cavalry behind him had not rested for two days, although for the elite troops, it was nothing to rush this way. However, General Lehi could not have called the Iron Cavalry to come to play, so after a short rest, there would inevitably be a big battle.

Zhang Chao knew this, so he hurried to the county town in front of him non-stop, just to buy more time for his cavalry to rest.

Approaching the county seat, Zhang Chao made a gesture to the cavalry behind him, and the whole army gradually slowed down. Before the county town could be reached, the city gate opened by itself, and a group of light cavalry ran out, led by an acquaintance of Zhang Chao, a fellow villager who had been a captain in the barbarian army, Zhao Yuan.

"Brother Zhang!" Zhao Yuan shouted from afar, with heartfelt joy on his face. "You've finally arrived!"

Zhang Chaoleng paused, and then his face turned grim. didn't wait for Zhao Yuan to come to him, he greeted him, not to see the joy of his fellow villagers, but to be angry.

"Zhao Yuan! How did you do it!" Zhang Chao scolded with hatred and hatred, "How many times have I told you, you have to be called a position in the army! Also, what are you going to do when you recklessly open the city gate? Open the city gate without verifying your identity, and go out of the city in person as a guard? When will you be able to change your reckless problem!"

Zhao Yuan's face froze, and he smiled wryly.

"Commander Zhang. Sorry, sorry. I won't dare next time. Zhao Yuan hurriedly pretended to beg for mercy, but looking at him like that, he didn't take Zhang Chao's lesson too seriously.

Zhang Chao didn't have much to do about this hob meat. Shaking his head and staring at Zhao Yuan, "What's the matter, it's been a hurry these days, but is there any repetition in the land of the seven counties?"

Previously, General Li Hai's order to urge the iron cavalry to come was sent within two days, and he felt like he was in a hurry, Zhang Chao hurried along the way, thinking that there was something new wrong in the land of the seven counties, but seeing Zhao Yuandugan open the city gate at will and come out to greet him, it didn't look like there was any problem.

"Hurry, Brother Zhang, no, Commander Zhang. Of course, I'm in a hurry, now that the Nanwang of Xia Guozhen has retreated to the checkpoint with a large army, this is an excellent opportunity. At present, there are still six county towns and one state capital, which are completely undefended, but this great opportunity cannot be attacked because of the lack of troops and major generals, and they are all in a hurry!" Zhao Yuan howled exaggeratedly, and then looked at Zhang Chao with a hippie smile, "Now that Commander Zhang has arrived, with your iron cavalry, General Li can draw out the forces to guard against the Zhennan checkpoint and go to capture other county towns and state capitals." ”

"What's going on with Xia Guo this time?" Zhang Chao asked a question that everyone wanted to know, "Not long ago, the Nanwang of Xia Guozhen took our thirty miles of borderland, why did he suddenly have such a big basket and lose seven counties in one fell swoop?"

Zhao Yuan smiled and led Zhang Chao and his iron cavalry regiment into the city. "This is the credit of Bai Yiwei. It is said that Li Guoan, who was on the side of the Xia State, led the rebellion against the Xia troops where the seven counties were located, and under the cooperation of the inside and outside, it didn't take much effort to take down the seven county towns. Even I came to support from behind, and I was directly assigned to guard the county town that was taken. Not even on the battlefield. ”

Zhang Chao took off his helmet and hung it on the burden of the war horse, "That's it?

"I haven't heard of it, who asks about the affairs of their family and relatives! However, now is a good time to make a contribution! Commander Zhang, by the Luo River, he has long wanted to take these rich county towns. With these counties, our border army can completely gain a foothold in the Xia Kingdom. If we use this as a foundation to attack again, the Xia Kingdom will be completely in the palm of our hands!"

"That's easy to say. Zhang Chao smiled bitterly, this Zhao Yuan has high skills, and his strength reaches the seven-star level, but it is this reckless character that really makes people disagree. If you are a pioneer, you are competent, but to be a guard and a leader, this heart is much worse.

For some reason, General Li Hai admired Zhao Yuan very much. In these years, Zhao Yuan's promotion speed has been faster than Zhang Chao's command of the iron cavalry.

This is also Zhao Yuan's blessing, after thinking about it, Zhang Chao is still very happy for Zhao Yuan, but this little brother has been leading the army under his own command before, Zhang Chao saw his reckless appearance, and he still couldn't help but teach him a lesson.

"By the way, General Li gave an order early in the morning, as soon as Commander Zhang arrives, he will immediately invite you to the county council hall, probably to talk about the next plan. Zhao Yuan also looked at Zhang Chao excitedly, "If Commander Zhang is not tired, how about I take you to the council hall first?" General Li is over there these times. ”

"General Li is very resolute. Zhang Chao smiled helplessly, "Then arrange for the soldiers to rest first, and I will go with you to see General Li and then come back to settle down." ”

"It's the best!" Zhao Yuan smiled, "Commander Zhang, you don't know, the army has been having a hard time these days." There are fifty or sixty thousand people on the side of the border army on the Luohe side, and they suddenly took the land of the seven counties, and the people can't pull the bolt at all, but fortunately, you are here....."

Zhao Yuan turned on the chatter mode, and even Zhang Chao, who had worked with him before, covered his forehead.

This kid really hasn't changed at all.
