Chapter 307: King Kang's army is defeated
The sun set, the night seemed a little quiet, the soldiers of King Kang's army were nervous, and the mental torture of several days made them all a little drowsy, and even the commander of King Kang's army was a little mentally weak.
Time passed little by little, and those who didn't dare to sleep finally couldn't stay up, some of them had already fallen asleep, and some of them were half-asleep.
It was almost midnight, and the night seemed to be heavier, and from time to time the night wind blew, which made the night guard Kang Wangjun shiver, and they looked at the dark wilderness around them, and their hearts were inexplicably a little afraid.
At this moment, more than a dozen voices whistled, and then, explosions sounded in several places in the entire Kangwang military camp, followed by a scream. The barracks were still in a state of confusion at this moment.
But soon, they came to their senses and knew that they had been harassed again, and the Kang Wangjun trembled there, but they were also accustomed to it, and they were afraid of the inexplicable explosion sounding beside them. They were afraid that they would be blown up in an inexplicable way.
But they didn't think that anyone would storm their barracks at this time, after all, they had 80,000 people, and after so many days, apart from the sound of explosions, they didn't see anyone rushing into the barracks.
However, the sound of the explosion lasted for less than half an hour, and suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, and then, there was a shout of killing that shook the sky.
The entire Kangwang army camp woke up from their stunned and hurriedly got up, but by the time they got dressed, they had already seen thousands of cavalry rushing towards them. As well as thousands of infantry.
Before the Kang Wang army closest to the periphery could react, they let the cavalry who rushed over kill them on the spot with their sabers, and when their heads flew out, their eyes were still full of shock and disbelief.
Yun Ze stood halfway up the mountain in the distance, looking at what was happening in King Kang's army's camp, his brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly stretched out again.
Zhao Zhongyi and his men were so bold that they wanted to directly attack the 80,000-strong military camp of King Kang's army with more than 10,000 people, and almost all of his men were recruits.
If this kind of behavior is not good, it will make itself irreversible, and more than 10,000 people in the past are no different from sending them to death. But thinking about it, Yun Ze felt that the hard work of Zhao Zhongyi and the others made him appreciate.
If you don't even have the courage to face an enemy several times stronger than you, then you are still a general, and you are not even qualified to be a big soldier. On the battlefield, the two armies clashed, and only the brave could win.
Once you lose your courage, the final outcome is a dead end.
King Kang's army was in a state of collapse at this time, the army's heart was already unstable, and as for the courage, it was exhausted, and Zhao Zhongyi and the others took advantage of the unstable heart of King Kang's army to launch a charge.
Under the ancestors, the morale of King Kang's army will only be scattered, even if he has more than 80,000 people, the final outcome will only be beaten by more than 10,000 people of Zhao Zhongyi.
And this is exactly the case, after the cavalry of the People's Army rushed into the barracks, King Kang's army had already been beaten to the point that it had no power to fight back. The entire barracks were in disarray, not to mention trying to organize an effective counterattack.
Under the horizontal push of the remaining thousands of infantry, the battalion of more than 80,000 people suddenly exploded the battalion, and everyone had only one thought, that is, to escape, and if they did not escape, it might be a dead end.
The commander of King Kang's army fled faster, and at the moment when the bombing camp first appeared, he had already fled on horseback, and his men were only followed by a dozen personal guards, as for those generals who had no one in their eyes, most of them fled, and only a few remained.
They wanted to fight the People's Army head-to-head, but unfortunately, these people faced the People's Army, and almost in a few rounds, the People's Army was killed.
Zhao Zhongyi, who took the lead, killed one of the generals, and he lifted the man's head and shouted in his mouth. "The commander of King Kang's army was beheaded by the general...... You still don't surrender......"
With his voice, a group of KPA soldiers shouted along, and the sound was deafening, and in this dark night, it seemed so terrifying. The morale of King Kang's army fell to the bottom at this moment.
Regardless of whether the coach was killed or not, there is no coach and general who have come out to preside over the overall situation, and they instinctively feel that their side has lost. Those who fled quickly would have fled far away a long time ago, and those who could not escape quickly simply gave up their weapons and surrendered.
The chaos continued, Zhao Zhongyi and others led the People's Army back and forth in the camp, those who dared to resist were killed on the spot, and those who surrendered sent people to collect their weapons and gather in a heap.
The battle lasted for almost two hours, some of them went to pursue the deserters, and the rest was the end, and the sky slowly brightened at this moment, and Yun Ze rode over to this side.
When it was dawn, Zhao Zhongyi and the others came to Yun Ze covered in blood, their faces full of joy and excitement. Zhao Zhongyi even dismounted and wanted to kneel, but after thinking about it, he still stood and saluted Yun Ze.
Yun Ze has long established the rules in the army, you can't kneel, and the salute is replaced by a standard military salute. This is the first step to change. Generals like Zhao Zhongyi, who were born with mud legs, were still a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Childe, King Kang's army was defeated and retreated, in this battle we killed more than 13,000 enemies, captured 40,000, and let the rest escape. Alas...... It's a pity! Zhao Zhongyi looked a little unwilling.
The others were also full of pity, but their appetite was so great that they wanted to take down all 80,000 people. But they still have fewer troops. If the enemy tried to escape, they couldn't stop it.
Yun Ze smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it's already very good to be able to achieve such a result, you ...... Very good! Keep up the good work, and there may be more battles in the future......"
He stepped forward and patted Zhao Zhongyi's shoulder, and then patted the other people's shoulders one by one to show encouragement, and everyone's faces showed excitement, and their expressions were even more excited. It is a great honor for them to be recognized by Yunze.
The battle ended with the victory of the People's Army, and King Kang's army lost more than 70,000 people, and only more than 20,000 people fled back. This battle almost hurt King Kang's vitality.
Yun Ze looked in the direction of King Kang's fiefdom, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he muttered softly.
"King Kang, let you settle down for a while, and when I have my hands free, the first person to clean up is you......"
When the generals around him heard this, the look in the eyes of Zhao Zhongyi and the others was even more excited, and Zhao Zhongyi rubbed his hands and said, "Son, next time you fight King Kang, can you let me ...... Participate too! ”
He was a little embarrassed, and the people next to him hurriedly followed to ask for battle, Yun Ze smiled and said: "If you want to fight King Kang, you can, train well, we are afraid that we will lose a lot of people this time." Or because of insufficient training. ”
In the end, Yun Ze was in a heavy mood, although Zhao Zhongyi did not tell him about the losses on his side, he had already seen the corpses of many People's Army soldiers around. In this battle, the People's Army lost about 3,000 people.
When Zhao Zhongyi and the others heard this, their expressions were also a little heavy, and they nodded emphatically, if it was a well-trained people's army this time, there would definitely be no such losses.
The recruits were still inexperienced, and they were a little uncomfortable for a while when they had just entered the battlefield, but they finally transformed. The 40,000 people who participated in the war this time, as long as they were given a little more time, they would definitely be an elite army.
King Kang's army solved it here, but the Yongle Dynasty faced by Su Qianmo did not attack Yunze's side, but stationed the soldiers and horses at the border.
Su Qianmo did not rush to send troops, and also Chen soldiers border, far away from the 100,000 army of the Yongle Dynasty. Su Qianmo knew what the army of the Yongle Dynasty was waiting for, they were waiting for the result of the decisive battle between Yue Pengju and Shi Ren, the envoy of the Zhejiang Yongjie Festival.
After all, Su Qianmo's location was not far from the 40,000 army of Yue Pengju and others. If there is a big war between Yongle Dynasty and Su Qianmo's side, Yue Pengju's side can come back at any time.
If one of the Yongle Dynasty is not good, they may be stolen by Yue Peng. Of course, the main thing is that Yongle Dynasty wants to pick up cheap. It's best to wait until Yue Pengju's side is defeated. Then he can go straight in.
At this time, in the camp of the Yongle Dynasty, Li Tianyan, Deng Xianjue, and Shi Hu and others were gathering in the big tent. Li Tianyan is the commander of this army.
He is burly, his square face is not angry but mighty, and his eyes are sharp, revealing a murderous aura invisibly. As he stood there, he felt like a murderer who had gone through countless lives and deaths.
At this time, he looked at the other generals of the Yongle Dynasty in the camp lightly, and his expression was a little ugly. There was also some hesitation.
"The king asked me to wait for the troops to wait here to wait and see what happens, but now, news has come from King Kang's side, his 100,000 army has been defeated, and he has lost more than 70,000, now, should we retreat or continue!"
Li Tianyan looked at the others, he wanted to see what others thought. In fact, he was a little aggrieved in his heart, in fact, according to his meaning, he should have taken advantage of the fact that Danyang City was being attacked with all his strength when it was being attacked from all sides.
But Fang La, after learning that Yue Pengju and Gao Zhong had taken down the two cities of Jinhua and Jiangshan with almost no effort, made him hesitate.
What Fang La was most afraid of was that Yue Pengju's army would come to support after knowing the situation on his side. At that point, there is a good chance that he will fall into passivity and encirclement.
Fang La's meaning was very simple, he hoped that Yue Pengju would be wiped out in the confrontation with Shi Ren's army, and at that time, he would be able to send troops to level Danyang City without any scruples.
As for the battle situation in the other two directions of Danyang City, he didn't care at all, and he even felt that the battle situation in the other two directions of Danyang City was definitely not good. Danyang City is estimated to be only struggling.
But the final result was that before the war began, the coalition forces of the six major prefectures and cities took the lead, not to mention the border of the troops, they had even retreated everywhere.
As for King Kang's side, they thought that they could rely on King Kang to hold back part of the troops of Danyang City first, but in just a few days, King Kang's army was defeated, and the 100,000 army was beaten by the 40,000 Danyang army to only more than 20,000 people.
The defeat of King Kang's army made Li Tianyan full of worries, if he still stationed troops here at this time, the final result was that he might make dumplings for another army in Danyang City.
But if he retreated, he was unwilling in his heart. He wanted to see what the generals meant now, if someone wanted to send troops, even if it was against Fang La's wishes, Li Tianyan was ready to use the momentum of thunder to destroy the 40,000 Danyang troops on the opposite side first.
The defeat of Kang Wangjun did not make him feel how strong the Danyang Army was, he just felt that Kang Wangjun was too weak. Weak enough to make him despise. If he is allowed to run into the Danyang army, not to mention that the other party is 40,000 people, even if it is 80,000 people, he is sure that he will be defeated.
"Retirement? Why retreat?! Are we going to come for nothing? The king was so careful that we missed the best fighter. Deng Xianjue said with some annoyance.
"Dashuai, the last general thinks that it is better for us to make a difficult mistake and destroy the 40,000 Danyang army on the opposite side first, as long as we can win a big victory, the king's side should not cure us for the crime of disobeying military orders."
Shi Hu also spoke up at this time.
"Yes, Marshal, the generals are outside, the military orders are not subject to it, if we have been restrained like this, how can we ......fight this battle?"
"That's right, Marshal, I just heard the news from the front, Shi Ren's army is close to Yue Pengju and Gao Pet's army, and the big battle is about to start, at this time, it is the time for us to make a move, if we wait for Yun Ze to return to the army, we are afraid that we will not have a chance."
Several other generals also hurriedly spoke up.
When Li Tianyan heard this, a gleam erupted in his eyes, and he slapped the desk in front of him and stood up.
"Good...... Then do this, my 100,000-strong army will be divided into five routes, and tonight I will surprise the 40,000 enemy troops on the opposite side...... Fight to take them down overnight! At that time, even if Yun Ze returns to the army, it will be too late! ”
When the generals heard this, their expressions were overjoyed.
On the other side, Su Qianmo was in the big tent, with Chen Qing and Guo Ming in front of him, as well as some generals who had been promoted. After the Six Cities Alliance retreated, Han Long sent an army of 20,000 to quietly support Su Qianmo's side.
At this time, Su Qianmo's army had reached 60,000, and Han Long left 10,000 people to guard the border where the six cities were located. It can also be regarded as a deterrent to the six-city coalition army.
Su Qianmo looked at the generals in front of her, her expression was a little solemn, and the Yongle Army had not attacked, which made her a little uncomfortable for a while. But she didn't rush to attack the Yongle Army.
However, sooner or later, the Yongle army on the opposite side will attack. She looked at Chen Qing and Guo Ming and said, "How are the armies on your left and right wings hidden!" ”
The 60,000-strong army divided Su Qianmo into three forces, the left and right wings and the middle wing, and the left and right wings were commanded by Chen Qing and Guo Ming respectively. In order to prevent the Yongle army on the opposite side from being aware of the changes in the army on her side, Su Qianmo kept letting the army give the Yongle army on the opposite side an illusion, that is, her 40,000 army was still stationed in place, seemingly in a defensive posture.
But in fact, there were only 20,000 people in the entire camp, of which the Chinese army tent was less than 1,000 people, and most of the soldiers were divided into two wings of the camp, in order to fear that the Yongle army on the opposite side would come to steal the camp.
Not only that, there were 20,000 people on the left and right wings, and Su Qianmo even let them dig tunnels on both wings, and the army was hidden in the tunnels. Even if the enemy rushes over, they may not be able to detect the army in the tunnel.
At that time, as long as it is not easy to appear, it will definitely make the army that comes to attack suffer a big loss.
