After officially invading the territory of Liangzhou, which had been run by the Guo family for decades, the resistance of the Great Vietnamese Army was clearly felt by the whole army.

It's just a few county towns on the edge, relying only on the low and dilapidated city walls, and only two or three thousand people dare to refuse the surrender of tens of thousands of troops and defend to the end.

And when the army launched an attack on them, the whole city was united in a bloody battle.

If it weren't for the fact that these Dayue soldiers were the elite of a hundred battles, and the first army among them was a group of people who could risk their lives and brave the rain of arrows and stones to launch an upward attack in order to wash away their own sins, I am afraid that these counties that are not too important will become obstacles on the way of the army, seriously slowing down the progress of the army.

And even so, it was not until the Chinese New Year's Eve of the thirtieth day of the month that the main force of the army led by Sun Ning advanced more than 100 miles, and it was nearly 200 miles away from the target Liangzhou City.

"I can't get stuck with them like this anymore!"

When he came to the vicinity of another county town that was waiting for him, looking at the Liangzi banner flying high and the defenders who swore to die all over the city, Sun Ning had already made a decision: "Pass on my order, the army no longer has to be entangled in the gains and losses of one city and one county, and kill Liangzhou City as quickly as possible!" ”

"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be too risky to do so?" Chen Qingyun, who had always been cautious in the use of troops, couldn't help but worry, "In this way, our rear will all fall under their control." Once these soldiers and horses in the city cut off my food routes......"

"This naturally has to be guarded against, so leave 20,000 soldiers and horses in the rear to guard the official road and ensure the transportation of materials and food, and the other soldiers and horses will go north with the main force."

Sun Ning quickly said his countermeasures: "Judging from the defense arrangement of the Liangzhou army along the way, their remaining soldiers and horses are also very scattered, so the defense in Liangzhou City will inevitably be empty." As long as they get to the city before the main force they put in Lianghuai turns around, they can take it at a smaller cost! ”

Chen Qingyun and the other generals thought about it carefully, but they also agreed with Sun Ning's strategy.

Immediately, he no longer continued to aim at capturing the small city under the rule of Liangzhou, ignored the opposing soldiers at all, bypassed this small county town, and continued to brave the wind and snow and march straight to the north.

At this time, the soldiers and generals in this small city who are ready to fight to the death are a little dumbfounded.

They had heard that many cities in front of them were desperately resisting, holding off the Vietnamese army for at least a day or two, and they were planning to defend and slow down their march. As a result, now, people don't pay attention to it at all, and actually go around the city, isn't it useless at all?

"Kaesong, attack!" The military attache in the city quickly made a decision that surprised everyone, and his subordinates looked at him: "My lord, we only have 1,500 people...... "It is not enough to defend the city, let alone kill it directly, and fight with dozens or hundreds of times more enemy troops."

"We are Liangzhou soldiers, and it is Lord Taiwei who has given us a better life and dignity, even if we die, we can't live up to his trust in us!" The Lord gritted his teeth and said, "Kill them, at least they can be delayed for half a day, then our death will be worth it!" ”

Only then did everyone understand that the master of his family would make such a decision with the intention of death.

Everyone's expressions changed, but in the end, none of them showed flinching panic.

Amid the shouts and the drums and trumpets, 1,500 soldiers and horses, who had only to defend to ensure safety, all slaughtered out of this small county town and chased after the rear of the Vietnamese army, which had gone several miles to the north.

Their decision and choice really surprised the Vietnamese army greatly, and it was not until they chased behind them, and only two or three miles were left, that the soldiers and horses behind the palace quickly responded and reported to the front.

However, this does not mean that this small contingent of county seats, which is regarded as home, can really inflict decent damage on the army.

Even their self-conceived wish to slow down the army's journey for half a day could not be realized.

When Sun Ning and the others heard the news and returned to the horse to watch, the battle that took place in the rear had already ended, and from beginning to end, only one meal was needed.

The 10,000 soldiers and horses behind the palace are also the elite of Xiangyang after the First World War.

Facing an enemy army with no city to protect them tenfold, they did not win this battle too easily, and at a very small price, they wiped out the 1,500 men.

When the defender commander was seriously injured and escorted to Zhang Yiang, the general of the rear army, he was still at a loss, because this battle was lost too quickly, and he couldn't react.

"You are a brave and good man, as long as you are willing to surrender to the court, this general can promise to spare your life and give you an errand in the army!" Zhang Yiang admired his behavior very much and had the intention to surrender.

But as a result, the other party only smiled contemptuously back: "If you want to kill, you will kill, you don't need to say much!" ”

"You can think clearly, we are the masters of the imperial court, and the Liangzhou Guo clan you are loyal to is a rebellious bandit!"

"I was picked up by Lord Taiwei, and I only know that I am loyal to Taiwei and Liangzhou! Moreover, before I left the city, I had already told all my brothers that we would not survive this battle, but only die vigorously. Since they died before me, I can't live up to their trust in me, and I just want to die! ”

This one was not moved at all, holding his head high, looking directly at Zhang Yiang, and had no intention of bowing down to his subordinates to survive.

Looking at his insistence, Zhang Yiang had no choice but to wave his hand: "Then I will pull him out and cut him as you wish!" ”

When the officer's head was cut off and put together with the heads of the other small city defenders who died in battle, it became a credit to the rear army, and when he was reported to Sun Ning, he couldn't help but admire it even if he was as decisive as him.

"No wonder the Liangzhou Army has such momentum and has laid down such a large territory in just a few years. His majesty Guo Yan does have a lot of means, and his subordinates do have elites who dare to fight and die. ”

After a pause, he waved his hand: "In this way, all the war dead are buried alive, and let them protect their homes forever." ”

Although they were enemies, the bravery and fearlessness of these soldiers still won the respect of many Dayue soldiers, including Sun Ning. For this reason, they did not even send people to kill the small county town that had completely lost its protection, but continued to the north.

At this critical juncture, the true nature of many people is naturally revealed.

There may be some short-sighted people who strive for power and profit and ignore the overall situation, but the brilliance of human nature is still visible.

The Liangzhou Army, so it can have today's momentum, depends on these brave soldiers who are still tenacious and dare to fight in the great disaster.

And Sun Ning, who continued to advance northward, also officially faced such an elite main force two days later!

Some people died, but not completely......
