Chapter 659: The War in the Imperial Capital (3)
The crowd was full of voices, millions of people and horses were all gathered here, in a gorgeous big tent, Dong Zhuo was listening to the generals under his command report on the latest situation. The faces of every general were extremely excited, especially when they were about to arrive at the imperial capital, Sizhou, the heart of the empire, had almost become an undefended state capital, and all the troops had been withdrawn. Dong Zhuo led the Liangzhou army south without encountering any difficulties, and the Qingzhou army, which was one step ahead, now stopped at Hanoi City, which was only two days away from the Liangzhou army, and the cavalry of Dong Zhuo's vanguard army had gradually approached the Qingzhou army.
The hearts of the generals are very excited, entering the imperial capital means that the Liangzhou Army has officially become the first warlord of the empire, the four major border corps of the empire have always been the Jiaozhou Corps, and the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou Corps has steadily pressed the Liangzhou Army, since the defeat of the two major corps in succession, the two corps that have not been replenished enough have now declined, only the Liangzhou Corps, which has successfully recovered countless alien races in the land of Liangzhou, has increased its combat effectiveness after the annihilation of the whole army.
The land of Liangzhou is very poor, located in the border area of the empire, but there is no city that is open to mutual trade with the lion empire, and the Liangzhou army has always relied on the full support of the empire. The poverty of Liangzhou has developed the habit of being brave and ruthless, especially the imperial people who live with many foreign races. The days of poverty have made these generals even more envious of the richness of the imperial capital, and the receipts along the way have made the eyes of these generals red, especially those generals of different races who are even more screaming to fight Shenjing.
"Marshal, the Qingzhou army is now stopping in Hanoi City and is rushing towards the imperial capital, I heard that Liu Fan of the imperial capital urgently dispatched his Yuwen Chengdu corps to stop us. Shall we send a cavalry legion in the vanguard to defeat them once and for all!" a rough-looking alien general stood up. Said loudly to Dong Zhuo. They have already reached the border, as long as they advance dozens of miles into the border of Sizhou, Sizhou is the place they want to go to the most, and the wealth there is not comparable to Qingzhou.
The alien general seemed to have forgotten the fact that they were slaughtered by Yuwen Chengdu, and only cared about the immediate interests. However, Dong Zhuo will not forget that this former number one general of the Liangzhou Corps. Yuwen Chengdu's prestige in the Liangzhou Army is still undiminished even after he betrayed the Liangzhou Army, especially after the Liangzhou Army that invaded him several times, his prestige became even stronger. It's just that now the generals in the Liangzhou army have been carried away by the victory in front of them. has completely forgotten the prestige of Yuwen Chengdu back then.
They can forget, but there is one person who will not forget, and that is Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's distress is not Yuwen Chengdu, but the current Yuwen wife Dong Wan. In order to win over Yuwen Chengdu, Dong Zhuo married Dong Wan to Yuwen Chengdu, but he never expected that Yuwen Chengdu Zuihou would rebel with a large army. Yuwen Chengdu's rebellion Dong Zhuo can bear it, even if Yuwen Chengdu is the number one general in Liangzhou, what can he do? He has countless brave and good generals in his hands, he doesn't care about Yuwen Chengdu, but Dong Wan only has one.
"Urgent military situation! Urgent military situation! Urgent military situation!" Just when Dong Zhuo was sad, a scout shouted loudly at the handsome tent, Dong Zhuo's face changed, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart. Since the army left Liangzhou, there had never been such an emergency military situation. As soon as the army entered the territory of Sizhou, there was an urgent military situation. Soon a herald rushed into the tent covered in blood and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Report to the commander. The vanguard army encountered the 20,000 cavalry of the rebel general Yuwen Chengdu, and the army was defeated, and there was not one or two out of ten. The herald knelt on the ground and reported the military situation to Dong Zhuo, the atmosphere in the big tent changed suddenly, and the words of the next herald completely calmed down in the big tent: "The northern army of the Shenwu Army and all of them are coming, the 600,000 army is less than five days away from our army, and the banner of the handsome flag is Wang Qian!"
Hey, everyone in the tent suddenly gasped when they heard the words of the herald, especially Dong Zhuo and Dong Xuan and Li Zhang, who were sitting on the side. Yuwen Chengdu is not terrible, not terrible at all, but Wang Jian is completely different. Yuwen Chengdu is at most a fierce general in the Liangzhou army, and there is no wisdom at all, if the army in front of him Yuwen Chengdu is the commander, Li Zhang has absolute confidence to annihilate them. But it was Wang Jian who stood in front of them, and it was completely different.
There are many handsome generals in Liu Fan's hands, and it can be said that many of them are a little envious, but the most impressive among the many handsome generals is Li Jing. It can be said that Li Jing alone changed the entire situation of the Shenwu Army, if it were not for him to resist the enemy's attacks with absolutely inferior forces several times, the current Shenwu Army would have been annihilated. And another handsome general is Wang Qian, although Wang Jian has no outstanding achievements now, but absolutely no one dares to ignore Wang Qian's existence. Wang Qian's talent is definitely not under Li Jing, and if Wang Jian is not in the rear, the Shenwu Army will definitely not have such an offensive momentum.
Li Jing was able to block dozens of times the enemy with absolutely weak troops, so Wang Jian with an army of 600,000 was definitely not something that his Liangzhou army of 3 million could easily defeat. Dong Zhuo's brows furrowed instantly, if he couldn't defeat the Shenwu Army in front of him as soon as possible, he would inevitably delay their journey. If Liu Fan occupies the imperial capital and stabilizes the situation in the imperial capital, the logistics of their Liangzhou army's thousand-mile expedition will become their fatal shortcoming. Wang Qian's talent is not under Li Jing, but what makes Dong Zhuo happy is that at least it is not Li Jing who is standing in front of him, if it is Li Jing, they will withdraw their troops now. Li Jing stood in front of them, they had no possibility of defeating at all, and they were still making a fart, and they directly withdrew their troops back to Liangzhou.
"Dashuai, the 600,000 Shenwu Army are all elites left behind by the army of the Eight Great Emperor Merchants for the rest of their lives, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated, our forward army was defeated in the hands of 20,000 cavalry in Yuwen Chengdu, and it was a fiasco, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army of the Shenwu Army is definitely not to be underestimated. Li Zhang's brows furrowed, if he was facing Yuwen Chengdu, he could easily mobilize the 600,000 army and annihilate it, but it was Wang Jian who was facing it. He's a little helpless now. Want to defeat this army of 600,000. Difficult. It's hard, it's very hard.
Dong Zhuo's face became very ugly, he knew very well how strong the forward army was, but he didn't expect to be defeated by Yuwen Chengdu's 20,000 cavalry, and the remaining troops were less than one or two. Dong Zhuo held the war knife in his hand fiercely, originally thought that this time entering Beijing would be very smooth, but he didn't expect that his vanguard army would be beaten by someone, which made Dong Zhuo feel very embarrassed. Especially the person who defeated him was Yuwen Chengdu.
"Let people inform the rear and continue to draw troops for me, at least 500,000 cavalry troops will be transferred to me, and the Warcraft cavalry troops will reach at least half. Dong Zhuo's face became very ugly, and 20,000 cavalry defeated the forward army of the Liangzhou army, which made Dong Zhuo very frightened. What worries him is not only these, even Luo Cheng, who originally served in the Liangzhou Army together, also appeared in the cavalry unit of Yuwen Chengdu, and the current Luo Cheng is not the previous Luo Cheng, with these two joining forces, even without the help of others. There is no way to defeat these two people on the battlefield except to pile them up with human lives.
"Send me another million infantry to supervise the grain and grass in the rear. This time it's going to be hard. Immediately ordered to shrink all forces, and now the army was on full alert, ready to attack the enemy forces in front of it. Although Dong Zhuo is very dizzy, he is very good at fighting, otherwise it would be impossible to climb to today's position step by step and become the king of Liangzhou. The military law of the empire is strict, and there is absolutely no way to get the current status without enough military merit.
Dong Zhuo looked at the generals under his command. The face is not very good, although it has absorbed a large number of foreign generals over the years, as well as recruited a lot of generals from Liangzhou and the Lion Empire, but their strength is not enough to compete with Yuwen Chengdu, and now there is another Luo Chengcheng who is even more difficult to deal with. Dong Zhuo knew very well that Liu Fan must have many masters among the 600,000 troops. The strength of the generals under Liu Fan's command is very strong, and there must be many super strong generals among the 600,000 army this time.
"Marshal, the vanguard army has been defeated, do we want to continue to send a team of soldiers and horses forward to test the opponent's combat effectiveness?" Wen Long suggested with a black face, he is now the cavalry commander of the Liangzhou army, this time the vanguard army was defeated by Yuwen Chengdu, which made him absolutely very embarrassed, and was defeated in the case of absolute disparity in strength, and it was also a foreign cavalry. This made Wenlong feel that he was slapped in the face by Yuwen Chengdu, and he really wanted to send cavalry to exterminate Yuwen Chengdu now, proving that he was the first general of the Liangzhou army.
Toot toot, Dong Zhuo was looking down to think, suddenly the sound of the horn of the military camp sounded, the long horn made the calm military camp boil instantly, and the soldiers who were resting walked out of the barracks with weapons in a mess, and hurried towards the camp gate. Wen Long glanced at Dong Zhuo and walked out quickly, and several generals followed Wen Long out. After the horn, the sound of war drums slowly sounded, and the sound of war drums became more and more urgent, Dong Zhuo's face instantly became very ugly, the Shenwu Army was still five days away from the army of the Liangzhou Army, and suddenly the military situation appeared before the camp of the Liangzhou Army?
Dong Zhuo stood up, his left hand holding the handle of the knife made a fierce effort, and walked out quickly. All the soldiers in the camp have been assembled, and in a short period of time, all the soldiers have walked out of the camp tent fully armed and on standby, and the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou army can be seen. The walls of the camp were full of archers, and the pikemen around the village were densely arranged, holding the spears in their hands tightly, and looking coldly at the enemy in front of them. As soon as Dong Zhuo came out, everyone immediately made way for Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo walked over quickly with a black face.
"Dashuai, it's the cavalry of the Shenwu Army, but there are three hundred people. Wenlong hurriedly greeted Dong Zhuo who came over, his face was very ugly. Dong Zhuo walked quickly onto the wall without saying a word, and looked at the three hundred black-armored cavalrymen who were coldly observing the battalion in the distance, and his face became even more ugly. Just three hundred cavalry made the Liangzhou army so nervous, if it was the army of the Shenwu Army coming, Dong Zhuo really didn't dare to imagine how the Liangzhou army would be nervous.
Wen Long saw Dong Zhuo's face and said a bad word, but at this time, there was no time to hold the general on duty accountable, so he could only hold his head and say to Dong Zhuo: "Great commander, the last general will send someone out to exterminate all these three hundred cavalry." ”
Dong Zhuo didn't reply, Wen Long immediately went down, personally ordered three hundred personal soldiers, led by a lieutenant, out of the camp to annihilate the small cavalry of the Shenwu Army. It's not that Wenlong doesn't want to send more troops, it's just that Dong Zhuo is watching here. The army of the Liangzhou army is also gathered here. And there are only three hundred people on the other side, and everyone has already seen it. If there are too many troops. On the contrary, it made the Liangzhou army lose face, and admitted from the beginning that its combat effectiveness was inferior to others. Wen Long was still cautious, after all, the opponent only used 20,000 cavalry to defeat his own forward army, and only sent 300 troops to destroy the opponent. If it were any other army, he would have sent out even a hundred troops.
The three hundred cavalrymen standing there and watching here were none other than the scouts of the Northern Legion, and this time they were not here because of Wang Qian's orders, but a decision made entirely by the general who led the team. After they annihilated a scout of the Liangzhou army, they knew that the Liangzhou army was stationed in this place, and the three generals who led the team rushed over with soldiers and horses to test the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou army. What they didn't expect at all was that the Liangzhou Army was so nervous. It was completely beyond their expectations. The three generals who led the team, Qin Ming, the thunderbolt fire in the Shenwu army, as well as Fang Yuan and Zhang Xiufei, the idea of leading the team here this time was Zhang Xiufei, but the decision was still Qin Ming's idea.
"Brother Qin, Brother Zhang, I didn't expect the Liangzhou Army's courage to be so small, we only had three hundred people and they all set out. Fang Yuan looked at the camp of the Liangzhou Army with a smile, the performance of the Liangzhou Army completely disappointed the three of them. There were only three hundred people to scare the entire Liangzhou army like this, and if the army of the Shenwu Army came to Liangzhou Army, the performance of the Liangzhou Army would make the three of them look forward to it. Fang Yuan's words made the three of them hahadaxiao, and the performance of the Liangzhou Army was completely beyond their expectations.
"It seems that the famous Liangzhou Army is nothing more than that. It's just a group of cowards, and it's sad that General Yuwen's 20,000 cavalry can beat them to the head. Zhang Xiufei's face was resolute. There is no longer the youthfulness of Yangzhou at that time. Following Wang Jian to fight in the south and the north, Zhang Xiufei has now become a famous general in the northern army. In addition, Qin Ming himself is also a violent temper, but the three of them got together, it can be said that they hit it off with the same smell, and they came with soldiers and horses.
"I don't know what happened to General Guan Shengguan's side, I think I should have received our news, and I should be on the way here. Fang Yuan smiled at the three hundred cavalry who rushed out and said with a smile: "You see, they only sent three hundred people to dare to provoke us. Wait a minute, two big brothers, I'll go and annihilate them all. ”
"Brothers, follow me!" Fang Yuan roared as soon as he raised the spear in his hand, and the hundred cavalry behind him responded in unison, urging the sitting war horses to rush towards the Liangzhou army that was rushing towards the opposite side. The spear in the hand of Fang Yuan's war horse under his command slowly raised it, and with a finger towards the sky, the cavalry behind him immediately turned into an arrow array with Fang Yuan as an arrow. The cavalry of the Liangzhou Army also began to slowly change formations, with the captain leading the team as the vanguard, and the soldiers under his command greeted the soldiers of the Shenwu Army, and the horses on both sides rushed towards each other with heavy breathing.
Poof, Fang Yuan shook the spear in his hand, the captain of the leader of the Liangzhou Army hadn't reacted yet, a spear pierced the captain's chest, and Fang Yuan's body was slammed into the sky with both hands. The spear in Fang Yuan's hand was drawn, and he swept it in a circle, and immediately swept away the dozens of soldiers of the Liangzhou Army who were holding knives against him, and the soldiers behind him were suddenly demoralized, and they slashed the cavalry of the Liangzhou Army to the ground with their weapons.
The wailing of the war horse, the scream of the soldier falling to the ground, the sound of bones being trampled by the war horse, all kinds of complex sounds resounded throughout the battlefield. Fang Yuan and his generals instantly chiseled through the formation of the Liangzhou Army, and more than 100 of the 300 cavalry of the Liangzhou Army fell to the ground in a single charge, while only a dozen of the cavalry of the Shenwu Army were killed. Fang Yuan shook the reins of the war horse under his command, turned around and charged the Liangzhou army again, and the soldiers of the Liangzhou army were also very brave, and they also launched a counter-charge against the Shenwu army under the leadership of no general.
Bang, as the body of a soldier of the Liangzhou Army fell to the ground, Fang Yuan turned his horse's head and looked coldly at the camp of the Liangzhou Army, and slowly raised the spear in his hand and pointed it at Dong Zhuo and the general generals under his command who were observing the battlefield there. Dong Zhuo's face was even more ugly than pork liver at the moment, and the strongest cavalry under his command was so fragile. Three hundred cavalry fought against one hundred, and the opponent's three rounds of charge were all knocked to the ground by the opponent, and the opponent's number of dead was less than half.
"Dashuai, the last general will personally lead the team to kill all the other party!" Wen Long's face was extremely ugly, he sent three hundred personal guards and was led by his own trusted generals, he originally thought that he was nine out of ten things but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face by the other party once, and this time the fan was still very ruthless, especially the young general was too arrogant.
"Waste, isn't it shameful enough? The face of our Liangzhou army has been disgraced by you!" Dong Zhuo's face was very bad, and the three hundred cavalry were overturned, how could he bear it! Moreover, the provocation of the other party Zuihou was to hit him in the face nakedly, and he was slapped in the face hard! (To be continued......)
