Although the winter morning is particularly cold, but outside the city of Jiaozhou is full of people, in the original location of Wang Yong's camp, that is, yesterday where tens of thousands of Qi troops were buried in the ruins of the ice and snow city, tens of thousands of new recruits and rookies who have joined the summer army are in full swing.

Because these recruits were mainly responsible for guarding the city during the two days of the war the day before yesterday and yesterday, they were actually just watching a big battle, and in order to exercise the courage of these recruits, Wang Yong mobilized all these recruits to collect the corpses of the Qi army.

Now the main task of the recruits is to take advantage of the cold weather to quickly dig out all the corpses of the Qi army buried here, and then dig a big pit and bury them deeply. The rookies had probably never seen such a bloody scene, and most of them vomited while working, vomiting every few times they dug up, and almost vomited everything they had eaten in the morning.

Some veterans who had participated in several major battles on the front lines of Jeju and Jibei County looked at these rookie recruits with disdain, and while vigorously digging through the corpses of Qi soldiers buried under the ice and snow or pieces of frozen meat, they proudly told the rookies around them how fierce the battles they had participated in on the front line of Jibei County.

There must be a lot of words to describe their bravery, of course, this level belongs to a relatively low level, and the slightly smarter ones began to praise each other and won the admiration of many recruits.

The rookies listened to the speeches of the veterans and expressed their admiration one by one, as if the tragic scene in front of them was not trivial to these veterans at all, and they didn't expect the veterans in front of them to participate in the battle for the first time.

In a wilderness more than ten miles north of Jiaozhou City, because it is not far from the Weihe River, the soil layer is thick, unlike the land in the upper reaches of Jiaozhou, where you will encounter a large number of stones.

Thousands of sturdy men are working hard here to dig five huge deep pits, one of which has been dug in depth, the deep pit is thirty zhang long and nearly twenty zhang wide, and now it is burying the Qi soldiers who died on the battlefield earlier, and the bodies of these people have now been transported to this pit because it is relatively easy to clean.

The corpses of the Qi army cleaned up from the ice and snow ruins are to be buried in four other large pits hundreds of meters apart, two of which have been half excavated, and the last two large pits ready to be excavated are burning with a layer of fire.

Because this time the army under the command of Dugu Yongye was almost all lost, there were too many corpses of the Qi army to be buried, in order to prevent the plague that might occur when the climate was hot in summer, the burial depth of these corpses should be at least one and a half zhang or more than the depth of the soil, so each big pit was dug to a depth of more than four or five zhang.

This made the Xia soldiers who were only going to dig a small pit and bury the matter very annoyed, and they scolded indignantly while working: This group of bitches raised Qi army, even if they die, they have to find trouble with Lao Tzu, and they don't let Lao Tzu be idle for a while, completely forgetting how happy they were jumping and jumping after the defeat of the Qi army.

Fortunately, the permafrost layer that is difficult to dig on the surface is only more than a foot thick, and it is easy to excavate by piling up firewood and grass to burn it, and because of the two large steel bases in Yidu and Changbai Mountain, the shovels that Wang Yong equipped the soldiers in the army are coated with a layer of steel, and it is relatively labor-saving to excavate.

In fact, the shovel does not need to waste steel to make the edge of the blade at all, and the shovel forged with wrought iron and pig iron is very useful, but who made Wang Yong have such a powerful talent as Cao Blacksmith, anyway, the steel production in the land of Sanqi is very large now, and the quality of the shovel can be used as a long weapon at a critical moment.

The soldiers worked hard to bury the Qi army, and scolded in their mouths, in fact, these soldiers scolded and scolded, but the excitement in their hearts was obvious on the corners of their mouths, under the leadership of the prince, they not only held Jiaozhou City, but also defeated the Qi army in an advantageous position.

And not only did they defeat these Qi armies with almost one enemy and two enemies, but more importantly, this Qi army was also the commander of the famous Northern Qi general Dugu Yongye, and the tens of thousands of main forces were the elite of the Northern Qi Dynasty that had defeated the Rouran and Turkic armies several times - the Northern Xinjiang Town Army.

It can be said that in the hearts of these rookies who have grown up listening to the stories of the Northern Qi Northern Xinjiang Army fighting against the Rouran people and the Turkic people for many years, the strength of the Northern Qi Northern Xinjiang Town Army is beyond doubt.

But now, the fact that the prince Wang Yong used 50,000 Northern Qi town troops to ambush the corpses outside Jiaozhou City proved to the world that the so-called invincible Northern Qi town army could be defeated, although Wang Yong mainly relied on the nitroglycerin explosives invented by Wang Ze and Liu Qing to eliminate tens of thousands of Qi troops in one fell swoop, but who cares.

Now the shadow of the Qi army that has been suppressed for a long time in the hearts of the recruits and rookies has all disappeared, what Qi army town army, the elite of the world, is not that we have been wiped out with one enemy and two enemies, and I have completely forgotten the appearance of my two legs fighting one by one when I faced the Qi army just now.

It turned out that Shen Sanshui, who was stationed in Jiaozhou Port, because of the timely reinforcement of Jiaozhou City, and insisted on defending the city despite the threat of tens of thousands of Qi troops in the subsequent battle, and waited until the timely arrival of Wang Yong's reinforcements, which can be said to be the premise of defeating the Qi army this time, so it can be regarded as a great achievement.

This time, Shen Sanshui was directly promoted by Wang Yong from Zhaowu Commander to Zhenwei Commander to Commander Jun Sima, and his rank belonged to the highest level of the three lieutenants, and he could be used as the deputy of the partial general who commanded the first division when he went to war in the future, but Wang Yong still appointed him to stay in Jiaozhou City.

Li Shun, who previously served as the captain of Jiaozhou City, because he promptly summoned the militia of various counties and counties in Jiaozhou to assist in defending the city and quickly evacuated the people in the villages and towns around Jiaozhou City, and then braved the snow to support Guan Shuai Guancheng, although he failed to arrive before the Qi army conquered the city, but then set up obstacles along the way to block the advance of the Qi army, and won the critical moment for the timely arrival of Wang Yong's army, so he was also rewarded by Wang Yong's general order.

It's just that Li Shun is still lying in bed recuperating from his injuries due to serious injuries, but when his health is almost good, he can be promoted from the original Captain Rong to a more senior captain of the Imperial Insult, and the three ranks of the first rank of the military rank under Wang Yong are the garrison captain, the captain of the escort and the captain of the court.

After cleaning up the corpses of the Qi army outside the city, Wang Yong found that this time nearly 30,000 corpses of the Qi army were cleaned up in the ruins of the ice and snow city alone, and nearly 10,000 corpses were also cleaned up from the battlefield, plus some of the Qi army prisoners of war captured later, there were basically more than 45,000 people.

Those armies that do not match the total number of Qi troops, more than 5,000 of them bypassed Jiaozhou City and went to the hinterland of Sanqi, more than 3,000 former Huaisi Xiangma fled when they saw that the situation was not good, and the other thousands of cavalry were all captured under Guan Shuai Guan City with Dugu Yongye, it can be said that this time the Qi army led by Dugu Yongye was all wiped out.

The thousands of prisoners of war captured by Wang Yong were basically all Han people-based infantry troops, these Qi prisoners of war were lucky to escape for the rest of their lives after the earth-shattering explosion, and were abandoned by the Xianbei cavalry led by Dugu Yongye, so these Qi prisoners of war were exceptionally obedient, so part of the follow-up task of burying the corpses of the Qi army was handed over to them, and after seeing the mountains of Qi army corpses, these people were more honest.

The Qi army has just been buried, a grand funeral was held outside the city of Jiaozhou, don't get me wrong, it is not Wang Yong who is holding a funeral for the Qi army, this funeral is held by Wang Yong for all the soldiers who died in Jiaozhou City, including the hundreds of Guan Shuai Guan defenders who died in the battle of Guan Shuai Pass.

For this reason, Lu Wangzhi, the leader of the Haotian God Sect, the Taiqing Taoist, and the eldest disciple of the old immortal Liu Qing, specially came from Donglai to preside over the ceremony, and dozens of Taoist priests in Jiaozhou City participated in the festival together.

In order to bury these soldiers, Wang Yong established a martyr's cemetery on the slope of Xiangyang Mountain, which has excellent feng shui and beautiful scenery not far from Jiaozhou City, where more than 7,000 martyrs who died in the battle of Jiaozhou City are buried, and their tablets are enshrined in the Haotian Temple on Zhifu Island.

In fact, Wang Yong also wanted to wait for the opportunity to build another Haotian Temple in Jiaozhou City in the future, so as to worship these martyrs who died in battle to resist the Qi army in the place where the soldiers paid their lives, but these are all things in the future, and he can't be in a hurry for a while.

However, at this time, Wang Yong had to leave Jiaozhou City and go to the hinterland of Sanqi, because some restless Haoqiang in the hinterland of Sanqi had an incident again, and more than ten Haoqiang who were not weak suddenly occupied the local county town and played the banner of Northern Qi.

When Wang Yong had just occupied the land of Sanqi before, the Haoqiang who focused on attacking and exterminating were mainly distributed in Changguang County and Donglai County, which were close to Wang Yong's lair, and these prefectures and counties with Qi Zhou as the center were close to Northern Qi and were easy to be used by the Qi army. Number Six

Qingzhou, which is located in the hinterland of Sanqi, on the one hand, because Wang Yong's limited forces at that time had a weak control over here, and on the other hand, Qingzhou's Haoqiang was mainly concentrated in the local area, and it was very far away from the border, so Wang Yong's attack on Qingzhou's Haoqiang was not severe.

In fact, these heroes didn't care about Wang Yong's occupation of the land of Sanqi, no matter who wanted to sit firmly in the world and become the emperor, anyway, they had to use these families who monopolized politics, economy and culture, and the Son of Heaven could take turns, but the literati families who were officials could go through several dynasties without decline.

But what these heroes didn't expect was that Wang Yong had cultivated a group of talents for himself early, but he didn't pay any attention to these local heroes, and now some scribes who were sitting at home waiting for Wang Yong to invite themselves out of the mountain and strong background were on fire, Wang Yong was really hateful and didn't need us to govern the place, he was really a thief, and he had already rebelled!

At the beginning, Haoqiang, who was not long-sighted, immediately began to raise troops to respond to the Qi army, preparing to overthrow Wang Yong when Wang Yong's foothold was unstable, but at that time, the Northern Qi was being besieged by various countries, and where did he have the energy to manage the land of Sanqi, so the first batch of Haoqiang who rose up was quickly extinguished by Wang Yong.

With the previous lesson, most of the families and Haoqiang temporarily lowered their heads, and even when Wang Yong forcibly endured in Sanqi Juntian, most of the Haoqiang forcibly endured and quietly waited for the opportunity.

When hundreds of thousands of troops from Hu Lawyers' Association, Murong Lu, and Liu Damo came to Jezhou, Jibei County, and Ande County, Wang Yong was forced to transfer almost all the troops of Qidong Prefectures and Counties under strong military pressure, which suddenly made these heroes feel that the opportunity had come, but they were still cautious after suffering big losses before, for fear that Wang Yong would not take action if he still had a backhand.

When Dugu Yongye led tens of thousands of Qi troops to quickly capture a large area of land in Northern Xuzhou and Southern Qingzhou with a thunderous sweep, and captured Guan Shuai Guancheng and approached Jiaozhou City, they finally couldn't bear it anymore.

At this time, Dugu Yongye delayed the opportunity to seize Jiaozhou City because of the mistake of Wang Yong's reinforcements, so he sent a large number of Xizuo to secretly contact these heroes who were dissatisfied with Wang Yong in the hinterland of Sanqi, and these heroes quickly acted after receiving Dugu Yongye's guarantee!

Just when Dugu Yongye and Wang Yong were fighting fiercely under the city of Jiaozhou, at the junction of Qingzhou and Gaomi County, these more than a dozen powerful families with decent strength united to gather more than 10,000 private soldiers and relatives to occupy the local county seat, and played the banner of the general of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

After Wang Yong received the urgent report, he thought that these heroes had united with the thousands of cavalry sent by Dugu Yongye, and immediately led nearly 5,000 cavalry under the command of Shi Haiguang and Fa Yan and more than 10,000 remnants of Luo Huan, Han Biao, and Zhou Guang to quickly rush there.

As for poor Zhao Kun, because he was an infantryman, he was not as fast as Shi Haiguang, and he was escorting thousands of Qi cavalry prisoners of war to walk slowly on the mountain road, of course, with Zhao Kun was Xu Yong, who was ready to take refuge in Wang Yong, and thousands of his subordinates.

After Wang Yong, who was burning with fire, led the army to the local area and quickly quelled the riot, he suddenly felt strange, from beginning to end he did not see the shadow of half of the Northern Qi cavalry, at first Wang Yong thought that this was a conspiracy of the Qi army, but now that these heroes have been pacified, is the Qi army not coming out?

Later, Wang Yong carefully interrogated the captured Haoqiang and learned that even these people had not seen a shadow of the Northern Qi cavalry at all, and they failed so quickly because they felt that they had been deceived by Dugu Yongye and had no confidence in their hearts.

At the beginning, these heroes did receive a handwritten letter written by Dugu Yongye, in which the heroes received a strong guarantee from Dugu Yongye, he will send an elite army of soldiers and horses to assist them in the incident, at that time these heroes gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and with thousands of Qi cavalry and a large number of officers, even if they can't capture Qingzhou City, they can also take over the Qi army's strategy for the hinterland of Sanqi.

These heroes also have some friends in the territory of Northern Qi, especially Dugu Yongye once endured the history of assassination in Jeju, so they also know that Dugu Yongye has always been true to his word, with the guarantee of such a Northern Qi general, coupled with the bitter hatred in your hearts for Wang Yong's forcible deprivation of their land, so they gritted their teeth and gathered these young and strong uprisings.

The idea of these heroes is very good, they just need to occupy such a county seat on the east-west traffic artery and hold it firmly, block the connection between Wang Yong's east and west, and then wait until the arrival of Dugu Yongye's army, anyway, Wang Yong has no army in the prefectures and counties of Qidong, and Wang Yong's army under Jiaozhou City is being restrained by Dugu Yongye, so the heroes feel that they are not in danger.

But what they never expected was that after they gathered troops and horses to get up, the Qi army reinforcements who were going to arrive at the agreed time in advance did not see a shadow at all, if it weren't for Wang Yong's own eyes at the head of Jiaozhou City at that time, more than 5,000 Qi cavalry galloped towards the hinterland of Sanqi, I am afraid that Wang Yong would have thought that these heroes had really been deceived.

It's just that more than 5,000 Qi cavalry didn't appear, so where did they go? Wang Yong's heart rose again, if these cavalry really didn't care about these heroes, but went to raid Qingzhou City, I am afraid it was really possible to be in their hands, and now Wang Yong's wife and children are all there.

Without waiting for Wang Yong to rush to Qingzhou, the local militia 100 miles downstream of Gaomi County came to report that in the afternoon, there were thousands of soldiers and horses in the local area to attack, but they were killed by Wang Ze, the little marquis who passed by here.

Wang Yong was immediately dumbfounded, what is this called? The more than 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Qi army that he had been worried about for a long time were wiped out by Wang Ze?

Speaking of which, it is also a coincidence, when Wang Ze landed from the north coast of Qingzhou, because a large area of ice floe flowing into the sea from the Yellow River and Jishui was blown to the coast of Qingzhou by the northwest wind, and was frozen into a whole piece of ice floe by the severe cold, resulting in the port of Qingzhou could not continue to be used for a short time.

A few days ago, Wang Ze saw that his mother finally agreed to leave Qingzhou City, so he simply took the newly made carriage of Yidu's workshop with his mother and two younger brothers to Jiaozhou Port.

When Wang Ze walked to the vicinity of Weishui, Guo Erlang, the wolf's tooth squad beside him, found the Qi cavalry hidden nearby, because the bridge on the Weihe River was defended by many soldiers, and they were ready to pass a part of the people from the nearby ice, and then seize the bridge on the river.

Originally, this strategy was very likely to succeed, but unfortunately, the fate of this group of Qi troops was not good and they met Wang Ze, Wang Ze first deliberately made the army on the bridge look like reinforcements were coming, so that the Qi army went downstream.

Going downstream, because the water flow is smooth, many places are frozen, but after all, there are only some fixed positions that can pass through the large army, and after Guo Erlang's reconnaissance, Wang Ze laid a trap several miles wide at the location where the Qi army might cross the river.

Since there is a trap, there needs to be a fat bait, and soon this group of Qi cavalry accidentally learned that Wang Yong's most distressed eldest son Wang Ze was hunting on the other side of the river, as long as Wang Ze can be captured, I am afraid it is no worse than catching Wang Yong.

The consequences can be imagined, when the cavalry of the Qi army dismounted and prepared to pass through this ice, the explosion of thousands of explosives and fire mines broke the thick ice on the river, and the thousands of cavalry except for hundreds of people escaped death, and the rest were all buried here, so that Baixin on both sides of the Wei River only ate sea fish for decades.

The hundreds of cavalrymen who escaped for their lives were not having a good time, and as soon as they landed on the shore, they were knocked to the ground by thousands of militiamen mobilized nearby, which became the battle exploits of these militiamen.

It is said that Wang Ze inadvertently wiped out all these Northern Qi cavalry that almost disrupted the hinterland of Sanqi, at this time Wang Yong should immediately rush to Wang Ze to see this baby son and his wife and two younger sons, but at this time Wang Yong couldn't care about that.

It turned out that Wang Yong had just suppressed the heroes of this uprising, and several cavalrymen sent by Ge Wei sent an urgent report, looking at the bloody cavalry in front of him, Wang Yong had a bad premonition at that time.

When Wang Yong opened the emergency report and took a look, he felt cold all over his body, his eyes were black, and his body suddenly staggered, Han Biao and Zhou Guang around him immediately supported Wang Yong, while Shi Haiguang and Fa Yan looked at the emergency report that fell to the ground, what! The Qi army suddenly crossed the Yellow River and occupied Qizhou!
