Chapter 801: For the Future (7)
When the rebels' morale collapsed, there was not much fighting power to speak of. The rebels outside Liangzhou City were suddenly filled with serious unease because of the rebellion of the Hao Lian clan. When the main general outside Liangzhou City launched two sieges, he knew that they had no way to get to the head of Liangzhou City. Yang Qiming looked at the army under his command and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, there is no problem with these troops to hold the city temporarily, but when Yang Qiming saw Hao Lianbo, the goal changed, these days there are almost more than two million troops concentrated outside the city, of which 1.5 million are elite cavalry troops, all of which are elite armies of the Xiannu clan, but when Yang Qiming knew that he still had 200,000 elites waiting for him, his mind was completely active, and Hao Lianbo patted his chest to ensure that the rebels outside the city could at least attract 200,000 elite cavalry, so that Yang Qiming did not have any dissatisfaction with this marriage at allγ
This marriage has gotten the results they want for both families, the Hao Lian clan is close to the power center of the empire, so that the predicament they have faced for thousands of years has finally changed, it can also be said that the fate of their clan for thousands of years, no matter which dynasty or generation, their Hao Lian clan belongs to the Xiannu clan, and in which dynasty they are all aliens, and they will not receive any attention from the empire. In the end, Yang Qiming got a strong army, and he could at least keep Liangzhou City from being lost, but now with a strong army, Yang Qiming could at least counterattack and capture a few cities, at least there would be no problems when the Montessori brothers returned to the city.
Of course, after getting these things, the trace of unhappiness in Yang Qiming's heart also disappeared, and the Hao Lian clan moved quickly. As if they were afraid that Yang Qiming would regret it, after less than five days, they sent the woman they had carefully selected to Yang Qiming. and patted his chest to ensure that if Yang Qiming was not satisfied, they could still change. At the same time, they also promised like Yang Qiming. As long as Yang Qiming can set up this woman as the main room, they can help Yang Qiming recapture Liangzhou at all costs, with this identity, at least they can help Yang Qiming in Liliang, which is attracting 200,000 elite cavalry, and can also provide hundreds of thousands of war horses, and the Hao Lian clan is almost equivalent to disintegrating the rebels as soon as they make a move.
Yang Qiming did not hesitate in the face of this condition, and immediately agreed to the request of Hao Lian's family, and at that time he made a note agreeing to set up Hao Lianwu as the main room. The Hao Lian clan was celebrating at that time. They had waited too long for this contract. Hao Lian's family immediately copied Yang Qiming's notes countless times, and sent dozens of secret envoys out of Liangzhou City overnight to go to the rebels' camp to win over the rebels, and brought Yang Qiming a letter of allegiance from 200,000 elite cavalry overnight, of course, this is only the early stage, in Hao Lianbo's words, as long as they need it, they can also win over more.
When this information was quickly sent to Yizhou City and passed to Guo Jia in the south, everyone was stunned, and everyone didn't expect that the huge rebellion in Liangzhou would completely collapse because of Yang Qiming's marriage contract. The Montessori brothers, who were halfway there, also turned to Jiaozhou immediately. Now that Liangzhou City no longer needs them, Yang Qiming's marriage contract can directly keep up with them to rectify the Liangzhou army. Yang Qiming also agreed to the Montessori brothers' suggestion. At the moment, the elite cavalry brought by Hao Lian's family was rectified, and Liangzhou City was used as the foundation to attack Liangzhou little by little. Of course, this is all later, Zhang Liang and Yang Qiming also didn't expect that the rebel Shili would completely fail because of the defection of the Hao Lian family.
The rebellion in Liangzhou can be said to be completely dramatic, and everyone did not expect that the Hao Lian clan would have such a powerful liliang, which also made Zhang Liang and Yang Qiming both greatly relieved, and at the same time re-examined the shili of the Hao Lian clan. Hao Lianwu, who was elected by the whole clan, also knew that her fate had finally changed, she had become a member of the imperial noblewomen since then, Hao Lianwu naturally knew how difficult it was for her to come to this identity, until Liu Fan personally presided over their wedding, Hao Lianwu felt that she was in a dream, until her edict was sent to her hands, she knew that she was not dreaming, and she had indeed become a member of the imperial noblewoman.
Compared with Liangzhou, the situation in Bingzhou is obviously worse, and the main force of the Bingzhou Corps is concentrated in the Yuntian Fortress, after the Yuntian Fortress was captured, the entire Bingzhou Corps suffered heavy losses, and countless soldiers either defected or died, even Dong Zhuo was confused and followed his subordinates to return to the west, only Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers desperately escorted Li Zhang out of the Yuntian Fortress, so that the empire knew what happened to the Yuntian Fortress.
Originally, Yuan Chonghuan was going to take over the defense of Yuntian Fortress, but the main force in Yuntian Fortress was Dong Zhuo, and in order not to stimulate Dong Zhuo, Yuan Chonghuan finally gave up the idea of taking over the defense of Yuntian Fortress, but he never thought that Yuan Chonghuan returned to Bingzhou City for less than three days, and Yuntian Fortress fell. The entire Bingzhou Corps suffered heavy losses, at least eighty percent of the cavalry of the Xiliang Army mutinied, and the original Shenwu Army was strangled to death, and their final desperate counterattack failed to burn the materials stored in the Yuntian Fortress by the empire, so that the barbarian army could finally not worry about the attack of the materials and the annexation of the state.
In Bingzhou City, the soldiers defending the city looked vigilantly at the dense army under the city, but the faces of these soldiers had completely different expressions from the soldiers in Liangzhou City, the expressions on the faces of these soldiers were more resolute, and their eyes released a more powerful killing heart. Although they and the state corps lost the Yuntian Fortress, but the governor of their state corps is still there, the invincible governor is still there, even if they only have one person left, as long as their governor is there, they can lead them to victory, this is the voice of all the soldiers of the state corps.
The barbarian figure is unusually tall, which also makes them completely useless to use the siege equipment of the Yuntian Fortress, which also makes Yuan Chonghuan, who is besieged in the city of Bingzhou, breathe a sigh of relief, originally beware of the barbarians commanding the army to attack the city in one breath, with only more than 50,000 people in the city of Bingzhou, there is no way to stop these wolf-like barbarian soldiers, not to mention that there are a large number of soldiers of the Xiannu clan. After receiving the military report in the Yuntian Fortress, Yuan Chonghuan knew that it was obviously difficult for him to hold the entire Bingzhou, so Yuan Chonghuan urgently sent urgent information to the cities of the Bingzhou. They were asked to concentrate all their forces on the city of Bingzhou. However, there are not many troops available in the entire annexed state. The three thousand wolf cavalry that broke through from the Yuntian Fortress also rushed to Bingzhou City, and during the period when the barbarians were besieging the city, Bingzhou City also gathered more than 100,000 troops one after another, but compared with the huge enemy army, this number was still too small.
"Metropolitan Governor, we will get any reinforcements in the short term, if we give up all these cities, once the reinforcements come, they will attack us city by city, right?" Yuan Da followed Yuan Chonghuan and looked at the dense enemy army outside the city, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, no matter how many enemy troops there were. In his eyes, it's just data. However, looking at the reinforcements gathered from all directions, Yuan Da's brows furrowed, and he gave up all the cities in Bingzhou City, so after the reinforcements arrived, they had to fight one city after another, which would be a great waste of troops and time.
"Do you think that if we disperse our forces to various cities, we will be able to hold a few cities?" Yuan Chonghuan held the battlements and turned his face to Yuan Da beside him and asked: "After the defeat of Yuntian Fortress, we have less than 200,000 troops available, and if we want to defend all the cities in the state, we can't hold a single city." If we want to make a difference in the state, we must concentrate our limited forces and form a powerful fist to attack the enemy's weak points. Let's just say that I don't plan to defend this Bingzhou City, although the Bingzhou City is high enough and easy to defend and difficult to attack. But in my opinion, it doesn't have any defensive value. β
"If the reinforcements come to support us, do you think the enemy will let the reinforcements arrive at the city of Bingzhou so easily? I give up the city of Bingzhou and also have my own ideas, I will give up all our cities to the enemy, one will disperse their forces, and after our reinforcements arrive, they will attack the city from both Yanzhou and Jizhou, the enemy will not let them enter the city easily, and will definitely send a large number of troops to block it, so that our opportunity will come. Yuan Chonghuan said in a firm tone: "This Bingzhou City is just a nail I have nailed here, my real purpose is to lead troops to attack the enemy's rear and find fighters to defeat the enemy's army." β
"Governor, but we don't have a lot of cavalry, only three thousand elite wolf cavalry are available, and the enemy also has a large number of cavalry, if you rush out of the city to fight, if you are caught by the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable. Yuan Da was also shocked when he heard Yuan Chonghuan's jihua, he didn't expect Yuan Chonghuan to lead troops out of the city at all. The enemies are all cavalry, but Yuan Chonghuan only has less than 5,000 cavalry in his hands, the most elite of which is the elite 3,000 wolf cavalry that broke through from the Yuntian Fortress.
"I plan to take these three thousand elite wolf cavalry out of the city, and I plan to stay with the rest of the troops for you to hold on to the city. Yuan Chonghuan said lightly: "You can't imagine that we will go out of the city to attack, even if the enemy thinks of it, he thinks that we dare not go out of the city to fight, so we have to do the opposite and go out of the city to fight." Only by going out of the city to fight, can we catch the most advantageous fighters and make the fastest response, I now want to know how long you can hold the city of Bingzhou?"
"The Governor can hold on for as long as he wants. Yuan Da said in a very firm tone, as Yuan Chonghuan said, he couldn't imagine that he would send troops to find fighters to fight, and the enemy obviously couldn't think of it at all. Yuan Da knew his responsibility, he had to attract enough elite troops from the enemy, only the longer they defended the city, the more opportunities Yuan Chonghuan could find.
"Okay, in that case, without further ado, I will take all the wolf cavalry out of the city tonight, this time I will take Yuan Jiu to Yuan 18 out of the city to fight, and the rest of the brothers will follow you with all the troops in the city, no matter what, you will have to hold the city of Bingzhou, I need you to hold the city of Bingzhou at all costs, and win enough opportunities for us." Yuan Chonghuan's tone was very firm, he didn't have many doubts about defeating these barbarian armies, the only thing that worried Yuan Chonghuan was how many enemy armies he could destroy, when he would be able to capture the entire state, capture the Yuntian Fortress, and regain the initiative in the war.
Yuan Chonghuan's idea is very simple, that is, to completely control the initiative of the war in his own hands, the number of barbarian armies is very large, and they are all elite cavalry. There were also countless Liangzhou soldiers who participated in the rebellion. The combat effectiveness of these people is all strong at the moment. If you passively defend the city, sooner or later it will be breached. The only way to go out of the city is to find a suitable fighter in the vast land of Bingzhou to defeat the enemy.
When the night shrouded Bingzhou City, the gate that had been closed was finally opened, and the wolf cavalry that broke through from the Yuntian Fortress quietly set off from Bingzhou City under the leadership of Yuan Chonghuan at night. The wolf cavalry is the most elite cavalry in Bingzhou City, all the cavalry are vigilantly looking around, and the war horses sitting down are also running quickly on the land of Bingzhou. The barbarians didn't rush to attack after surrounding the city with some idea, and their vigilance was not very high. Yuan Chonghuan led the wolf cavalry under his command and left the city almost without encountering any enemies.
An endless wasteland. Yuan Chonghuan ran fast with the three thousand elite wolf cavalry under his command, the war eagle in the sky made a frequent chirping sound, and a soldier saw the war eagle in the sky, and soon came to Yuan Chonghuan's side and whispered a few words in Yuan Chonghuan's ear. Yuan Chonghuan's brows instantly became solemn, and after summoning Yuan Jiu to command a few words in his ear, Yuan Jiu led dozens of cavalry and ran in the other direction. Soon, the three thousand elite cavalry under his command were divided into dozens of units under the command of Yuan Chonghuan and killed them in different directions.
On the grassland, a barbarian cavalry of 10,000 people drove the barbarian horses sitting down on the wasteland, and the fall of the Yuntian Fortress also meant that the obstacles in front of them no longer existed, and they could drive on the land of Bingzhou unscrupulously, not to mention that Yuan Chonghuan still took the initiative to give up the city of Bingzhou. Concentrate all their forces to defend and merge the state city, and they have nothing to worry about. The 10,000-man team didn't know that someone was already eyeing them. There are several war eagles hovering in the sky, these barbarian soldiers already know that the soldiers of the Shenwu Army will use the war eagles to transmit information, but they don't care at all, now that there are no enemies in the whole state, will they care about a few war eagles? Maybe their master has died in battle, they are just paying tribute to the souls of their comrades above their heads.
The wolf cavalry, the most elite cavalry in the state, Yuan Chonghuan and his cavalry ambushed near this 10,000-strong team. When he found this 10,000-person team, Yuan Chonghuan didn't plan to eat this 10,000-person team at first, but after the war eagle sent the situation back, Yuan Chonghuan planned to eat this 10,000-person team, because they were too careless and didn't give up their troops at all. Yuan Chonghuan quickly planned a battle jihua, with 2,000 men attacking the enemy directly, while the other 1,000 men swam around the periphery to strangle those who slipped through the net. Although it was a 10,000-person team of the barbarians, Yuan Chonghuan did not have the slightest worry, his 3,000 elites were all selected by the entire Bingzhou Corps, and he did not have the slightest worry about eating this 10,000-person team.
The captain of the barbarian tribe rode a tall brute horse at the head of the group, a mace the thickness of a baby's arm against his shoulder, and his face was full of lightheartedness. There were still looted things from the war horse, but unfortunately this time it was only a small village that was looted, and nothing good was grabbed. But thinking that they were about to arrive at the city of Bingzhou, the things in it were theirs, and they could grab them unscrupulously, thinking of the upcoming good life, the face of the barbarian commander was full of smiles, this victory came so suddenly, and even the entire barbarian tribe was not prepared.
"Kill, don't leave a single one!" After Yuan Chonghuan watched the barbarian army enter his ambush circle, Yuan Chonghuan shook his mount and rushed out of the hiding place, and the wolf riders around him did not hesitate to rush towards the barbarian army with the war knives in their hands after receiving the orders of their own commanders, and the barbarian soldiers who were thinking about the upcoming good life were cut down to the ground by the wolf cavalry's war knives before they could even react. Before he could react, the barbarian commander at the front of the line was slashed to the ground by Yuan Chonghuan, and he didn't understand what was going on until he died? The wolf cavalry of the Shenwu Army would not give them a chance to hesitate, the war knife in their hands did not hesitate to cut the enemy to the ground, and the cavalry of those barbarians was directly hacked to death by the wolf cavalry in the first wave of impact, nearly 4,000 people, especially their Wan Lady was cut by Yuan Chonghuan with a knife, making them completely without command, and the entire army was completely chaotic.
Yuan Chonghuan led the wolf cavalry under his command to kill wildly, and some of the brave soldiers of the barbarian cavalry just wanted to fight back, but their team was completely chaotic, and there was no way to form an effective unified command, the whole team was extremely chaotic, and Yuan Chonghuan wanted this effect, Yuan Chonghuan took the cavalry under his command to kill constantly. And the wandering cavalry is also constantly cutting down the enemy to the ground, the speed of the wolf cavalry is far from being comparable to these barbarian cavalry, these barbarian cavalry are killed before they even understand what is going on. And those enemies who want to escape are all stabbed in the back, and their deaths are unknown. (To be continued......)
