The next battle is without suspense. Ping Changzheng died in full view of everyone, and the morale of the Japanese army collapsed in an instant. They scrambled to escape for their lives, but found an extremely embarrassing situation, that is, there was nowhere to escape, the Tang army was on the east, west and north, and the south was the Tang army, and on the other side of the water, it was still the Tang army.

The Japanese soldiers were completely in despair, and Wang Rong was cruising on the south bank of the river at this time, looking at the Japanese soldiers in Wuyang and Wuyang across the river.

He ordered, "Shoot me bows and arrows, crossbows, slings, and crossbows across the other side."

Song Wenbai and Song Mingbu had already received an order from Wang Rong at the beginning of the war: "Only the dead Japanese are good Japanese people."

Although Kato gathered a group of people and planned to resist desperately, it was to no avail, and he was soon pierced through the chest by a crossbow gun and firmly pinned to the ground.

The remaining tens of thousands of troops of the Japanese army, under the siege and killing of the Tang army, were all killed, the land on the north bank of the water was soaked in blood, and the water was even more red with blood, and there were tens of thousands of corpses in the water, almost blocking the river.

Wang Rong was not idle, he commanded the Tang army on the south bank of the water, and re-erected the pontoon bridge in the water. Before the battle began, he sent Chazi of the Investigation Department to Anping County and Hejian County to spread rumors that the Japanese army was preparing to go south and attack Xindu, the capital of Ji State.

Zhao Huan, the emperor of the Ji State, did not live up to Wang Rong's expectations, and when he heard that the Japanese army was going to attack Xindu, he quickly stopped the order to transfer the army to Lecheng and transferred the remaining troops of the Ji State to Xindu.

At the same time, Zhao Huan also sent twelve rounds of envoys to Lecheng, and ordered the general Zhao Luqi to lead a large army back to Xindu. Zhao Luqi couldn't disobey Zhao Huan's order at all, so he could only rush to Xindu with the army.

According to the news from the Department of Investigation, the army gathered in Ji Guoxindu at this time has reached 300,000 people, but there are not many elites among them, only 50,000 or 60,000. Moreover, Xindu's food stocks are insufficient, which can support the consumption of the army for half a month at most.

After all the Tang troops on the north bank of the river crossed the river, Wang Rong did not rush to march, but ordered the Tang army to camp. It wasn't until midnight that the army set up camp and boiled water to cook and rest.

On the south bank of the water, in the Tang army camp, the auxiliary soldiers were in full swing to build camp tents, and trenches were dug outside the camp to resist horses.

Groups of patrol sergeants walked back and forth in the camp, and outside a huge Xuan-colored military tent, dozens of guards wearing heavy armor stood in front of the tent, and in front of the tent were large banners with ink-colored gold characters, which was Wang Rong's residence.

The noise of the day had vanished, and only the moaning of the wounded soldiers remained in the darkness.

In Wang Rong's big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Rong sat on the couch and listened carefully to the report of the fifth candidate: "Grandpa, after the news of the Japanese army going south to Xindu reached Zhao Huan, he transferred the Ji army to Xindu. But he was still not at ease in this way, and recalled the army of the general Zhao Luqi back to Xindu. The emperor of the Ji State was worried every day, sighed all the time, and ordered the scouts to constantly go north to investigate the situation of the Japanese army. Fortunately, the stragglers of the Japanese army were effective, they could not deal with our Tang army, but they were sure to deal with the scouts of the Ji army. The continuous losses of the Ji army scouts gave Zhao Huan the illusion that the main force of the Japanese army had already moved south."

Wang Rong nodded and said, "This kind of situation should not last long, let the brothers of the Investigation Department investigate carefully, and it will only be two or three days before you arrive in Xindu."

After the fifth report, he stepped aside. At this time, Li Sujie had a chance to speak, and he hurriedly asked, "Zhong Ming, we finally defeated the Japanese army, why don't we go back to the division to recuperate?" The soldiers are very tired."

Wang Rong looked at Li Sujie and asked, "Li Jun Sima, what do you think the Emperor of Ji would do if he knew that the Japanese army had been destroyed?"

Li Sujie was speechless for a while, of course he knew that the Emperor of Ji would do it, but people are not gods, what if the Emperor of Ji didn't want to take advantage of the danger of people to attack the Tang Army?

Zhang Yunshu stepped forward at this time, gave a military salute to Wang Rong, and then said to everyone in the tent: "I, the Tang Dynasty, fought with our army, watched the fire from the other side of the Ji country, and sat and watched the success or failure, which is extremely hateful. At the same time, I also saw the plan of Ji Guo. They thought that even if our Tang army defeated the Japanese army, it would be a great loss of vitality.

And at this time, it is the best time for him to hope that the country will recover his homeland

。 After continuous deduction, the military division believes that the Ji *** team is very likely to turn the direction of the attack.

At this time, Julu County was empty, and it was a county extending in all directions in Hebei and a transportation hub in Hebei Province. If the Ji State sends troops to attack, our lobby will not be able to hold 100% of it.

Based on this, the grandfather came up with the idea of going straight to Xindu. After the deduction of the military division, this time to the south, we have a 90% chance of troops coming to the city of Xindu, as long as my lobby army is prosperous, serious and calm, we can defeat the Ji *** team in Xindu, and then destroy the Ji country in one fell swoop."

Song Wenbai didn't seem to agree with the plan to join the military division, he looked at Wang Rong and said, "Grandpa, now that my Tang army is tired, I first fought a big battle with the Japanese army, and then rushed to Xindu, and the brothers are even beaten with iron, and they can't bear it."

Wang Rong looked around at the generals in the military tent during the week, and said solemnly: "The soldiers are not tired of deceit, we just want to spread false news so that the Ji army will be fixed in Xindu. We must be able to overcome the difficulties, go straight to Xindu, and destroy the Ji army. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a battle to destroy the country, and it is a very important step for me to unify the Central Plains, and I hope that you can work together to help me accomplish the great cause of unifying the world."

The generals in the tent all laughed when they heard this, and the credit for destroying a country was indeed very tempting.

Wang Rong continued, "The Xindu Ji army has a large number of men and horses, and it is not so easy to deal with. We must not only defeat the Ji army tactically, but also be vague in strategy. This aspect is left to the fifth, and the responsibility of the Detective Division is heavy."

The fifth candidate nodded and replied, "Wow!"

Wang Rong waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, let's all go down and rest." Tomorrow the whole army will march south."

"Whoa!"

At this time, it is summer, and the scenery on both sides of the road is lush, and occasionally rabbits and deer are infested, and they are frightened to run away when they see the long procession on the road.

"Report! ——」

A scout came to Wang Rong, sat down on his horse and saluted, "Marshal, there is Zhangshui in front of you. After Zhangshui, it is Xiabo."

When Xiabo was first placed, it was under the jurisdiction of Xindu County, and later Xindu County expanded to Anping County and transferred to the jurisdiction of Anping County. This city is located on the south bank of Zhangshui and is the northern gate of Xindu.

Wang Rong listened to the scout's report and nodded, indicating that he understood. In the past few days when the Tang army went south, the Ji State had already received news that Zhao Luqi, the general of the expedition, had changed his name to Zhao Luqi, the general of the Tang Dynasty, and led 200,000 Ji troops north to Zhangshui to resist the Tang army.
