358. The Land of China
"Why is this so?"
Beneath a mountain wall.
Wang Ze led his 3,000 personal soldiers to hide here in a hurry.
More than 200,000 Han troops.
In this short period of one month, it was scattered by the cavalry that came and went like the wind.
remembered that a month ago, he led 200,000 Han troops and wanted to return to Shanggu to rebuild the defense line and confront Zhang Qi.
But he didn't expect Zhang Qi's speed to be so fast, he had already arranged a back hand, and when he led the army to the defense line, he found that his retreat for the others had been completely blocked.
Among those city barriers, the Liao soldiers armed with bows and crossbows were even more fierce than the initial attack.
He repented.
He only thought about quickly taking Liaodi, and had let His Majesty take this opportunity to regain power, but he forgot that the soldiers who stayed behind to guard the retreat of himself and others.
Maybe he wanted to keep people.
But under the overwhelming situation, the contempt and the desire for meritorious service made him make a choice that should not be made by the commander of the first army.
It's too late to regret it.
Wang Ze's face turned pale.
He knew he didn't have the slightest chance left.
From the beginning of the engagement, he knew how strong the defense line of Shanggu and Yuyang counties was, so he wanted to break through to the north with an army of 200,000.
But even the route to the north was in the calculations of Zhang Qi, the Marquis of Liao.
Behind him is the tiger and the eagle attacking the two armies step by step, and in front is the Great Wall, which is the heavy arrow cavalry that comes and goes like the wind.
The morale of the Han army collapsed, and as small soldiers below, they surrendered without a single burden.
Under such circumstances, his 200,000 Han troops were wiped out under the weight of this layer.
He couldn't command at all.
No one listened to him anymore.
Those who flee flee, those who surrender surrender.
In just one month, there were only 3,000 soldiers left under his command.
They are the elite of the Han army, but judging from their current appearance, even they can't hold on.
Because of the food.
Grain and grass.
The key in the war.
The Liaodi soldiers regained control of the defense line of Shanggu and Yuyang counties, and his grain route had been cut off.
"Minister, ashamed of Your Majesty!"
"Shame on the big man!"
Facing south, Wang Ze fell heavily to his knees.
He didn't have the slightest thought of reluctance.
It's a Jedi.
They can't escape.
His forehead hit the ground.
The little tremor in the distance was clear to him.
"Is this coming?"
"Liaohou Zhang Qi!"
"If you are a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty"
"That's right. How nice."
Sigh lightly.
Draw the knife and wipe the neck, without a trace of hesitation.
"General!"
The soldiers around him were caught off guard one by one.
But Wang Ze's body had already fallen to the ground.
After a few convulsions, there was no movement.
Under the mountain wall, tens of thousands of cavalry surrounded the elite regiments of the 3,000 Han army.
There is little resistance.
The elites fell to their knees and took off their armor and weapons.
Stomp.
The footsteps came to Wang Ze, who was lying in a pool of blood.
Hu Shui half-squatted down and turned Wang Ze with his face down.
He probed his pulse, sniffed his nose, and finally confirmed that the person was hopeless.
"Convey the information to General Wang Li, the main general of the Han army is dead, and the Han army has been destroyed."
"No!"
Hu Shui got up slowly, glanced at Wang Ze on the ground, and shook his head: "It's a pity." ”
"Escort them back to the prisoner of war camp."
"Back to camp!"
"No!"
A war of hundreds of thousands of people, after a year and a half, can be regarded as the curtain has come to an end.
Since then.
There is no more great enemy in Liaodi.
——
Three days later.
Zhang Qi, who arrived with the two armies of the Tiger Ben Eagle Strike, received good news.
All 300,000 Han troops were captured, and the number of prisoners exceeded 260,000, and the first frontal battle between the Han dynasty and him ended with his victory.
"Good!"
"With one blow, the three armies of Liaodong marched south from Yanmen County, recovered the counties along the way, and built supply routes."
"Order, Liaoning, Changchun, and Liaodong will dispatch graduates and officials as soon as possible, and go south with the army to govern the recovered land."
"Order, Qingzhou, Bohai and the two sides will start to act, and they will take Cheng from time to time!"
"No!"
Defending the 300,000 Han troops that came to attack was not the end of this war, the word end was only for Liu Che, and Zhang Qi had to do it.
It is like this world proclaiming.
Liaodong Tigers!
Out of the mountains!
As soon as the order came out.
The action in the direction of Qingzhou was the largest.
The five counties of the Northland were already controlled by Zhang Qi as early as when Wei Qing was still alive.
Moreover, with the infamy left by the Han Dynasty when it recovered the five counties, Zhang Qi almost effortlessly moved all the population of the five counties to his rear.
For the three armies of the tiger and the eagle to attack the Liaodong.
Take Yanmen, oh no, it's to go to Yanmen, and going south from Yanmen is as easy as going home for dinner.
And Qingzhou side.
At the first moment of the arrival of the Battle Pass.
They began to fight with the 100,000 Han troops led by Cheng from time to time.
It's just that it's still a small fight.
Its main purpose was to attract Cheng's attention from time to time, so that the Tiger Squat Artillery Army from Bohai County could arrive safely.
And after the Tiger Squat Army Trek arrived.
The Battle of Qingzhou really began.
Under the cannon.
What the Qingzhou Army has to do is to follow behind the Tiger Squat Army to regain territory little by little.
100,000 Han troops.
As a rough estimate, it should take two months to solve.
Tiger Ben, Eagle Strike, Liaodong a total of 110,000 troops assembled in Yanmen.
Because this time the battlefield is almost all inland.
Therefore, the army has not moved, and the grain and grass need to go first.
Horse-drawn carriages carrying a large amount of supplies set off from Yanmen County.
And it was Hu Shui's guerrilla army that ensured the safety of the baggage team.
Zhang Qi has not stopped their mobilization.
Now that the war is raging, any bit of strength is needed.
As for the safety of the land of the five counties, Zhang Qi handed over the 30,000 new troops and the 50,000 Yongle army.
They are there, and the five lands of the border counties are unbreakable.
The other side.
The news also spread back to Shanhai City.
Hu Ling is discussing with officials in Changchun and Liaoning at the moment.
In the past, the people of the five counties went to the city, but now that the land of the five counties is completely controlled, they also have to migrate to fill it.
Restore people's livelihoods.
War is like this, from the soldiers, to the post-war recovery, it will always be the efforts of these people at the bottom.
But war never brings anything good to them.
Some are just endless suffering.
And what Zhang Qi is doing now is to let them live like people.
Completely liberating the people at the bottom, Zhang Qi thinks that he can't do it, he has self-knowledge.
He has been able to get to where he is today, in addition to relying on himself, and his golden finger has provided a hundred million small helps.
The cavalry and slashing class gave him the initial armed force, the spirit point, and gave him the initial team.
Crop seeds, talent training, and scientific and technological research and development are his cornerstones.
He will also follow the path of the giants and make the world a better place.
