Chapter 19: The Vanishing Barbarian Army
The rain finally fell, dripping, for the crops in the north this is a timely rain, but for General He Zhenyuan, it is undoubtedly worse, Zhentian Pass is lost, and now it is raining again, the road is muddy and the speed of the march must be affected, 400,000 troops against 800,000, although the imperial court sent another 500,000 troops, and Dayin also sent 600,000 troops, but these armies are still in the far hinterland, and there is no exit. Now that there are only 400,000 troops in the entire barbarian grassland, how can our General He Zhenyuan not be in a hurry.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and He Zhenyuan ordered to camp in place, and if it went on like this, before it reached the battlefield, the people were dragged down first.
Compared with the heavy rain in the north, the sun is shining in the south. It has not rained for several months in Chenguo, a small country on the southwestern border, and it is estimated that the farmers who are digging and eating in the fields will be hungry again this year. Dachen is a very poor country, the land is barren, and there is a perennial drought. People are physically hungry, so they place their trust on spiritual satisfaction, which has made Buddhism flourish in Dachen.
Today, as in previous years, the 'Living Buddha' can't lead the three temples of Huguo Temple, Hufa Temple, and Hufo Temple to start giving porridge.
The three apprentices of the master, Lifan, realized, and Limu also stood beside him,
"Senior brother, I'll bet you, there will definitely be more refugees tomorrow than today," said Wu with certainty, scratching his arm.
"I bet you that unless I'm crazy, you can't do anything to win. Lifan glared at Wu Wu.
"Alas, this ghost weather, the people are going to suffer again" Monk Mu rarely dozed off, and looked straight at the people queuing up to receive porridge.
The rain in the north fell on the third day, and the rain finally became lighter, and General He Zhenyuan was so anxious that his mouth was foaming.
"I can't wait any longer, arrange for all the Huotou troops to cook immediately, there are enough big fish and meat, and all the sergeants will set off immediately after eating. After the baggage hall, the cavalry went first, followed by the infantry. Strive to arrive at Zhentianguan in two days. He Zhenyuan gritted his teeth and said.
When the vanguard of the 400,000 army arrived at Zhentianguan, they were shocked by the situation in front of them, there was no living person in the entire Zhentianguan, corpses all over the ground, and the whole city had been destroyed and dilapidated, and it was impossible to stop the attack of the army without a year or two of repair.
The enemy seemed to be in a hurry, and did not even collect the corpses of his own people.
He Zhenyuan looked at Ouyang Tianqi when he was still dying, and he was stunned, he was thinking about a very serious problem.
"The enemy has wasted so much effort to defeat Zhentianguan, where has the enemy gone, why haven't you seen a single enemy scout?"
He Zhenyuan screamed in surprise
"Heralds, send a message to all the interiors of the interior, the barbarian army has bypassed our 400,000 army and entered the interior. ”
