Chapter 139 Resurrection, my soldiers!
"The top of the mountain was captured?"
"The Emperor of Han attracted thunder and killed all your people???"
Bamudan brought the news in a panic. He didn't even treat the arrow wound on his arm. It was soaked in rain and had some festering.
After Zhang Yiping heard the news, he closed his eyes in contemplation and then opened his eyes wide.
Can you think of anything more mysterious?
Is this a person?
The king is entrusted by the Tianzhu God, so this must be the Tianzhu God himself, right?
"It's not like they were all killed."
Bamudan looked pitiful, bandaged his wound, licked his lips and said:
"Just a few thunderbolts struck down, and the tribesmen were so frightened that they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to move."
"Then the Han army came up the mountain again, covered them up and were defeated immediately."
"Not many escaped, most of them were captured."
Zhang Yiping breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes returned to normal size.
It's quite mysterious, but still understandable.
Still within the scope of "humanity".
The top of the mountain is a place prone to lightning strikes, and thunderstorms are particularly heavy at night.
Besides, Emperor Guangwu was like a meteorite falling from the sky, directly smashing into the enemy's camp.
This Emperor Zhaowu only attracted a few thunderbolts, but he didn't kill a few people.
Comparing the two, it actually seems a bit mediocre.
"But this is also troublesome."
Zhang Yiping heard from Bamu Dan that Li Xuan's action was not completely successful.
I saw several familiar faces during a scuffle in the mountains in the heavy rain.
There were still a very small number of pro-Han South Vietnamese leaders, as well as a small number of neutral leaders, who did not die and instead surrendered to the Han.
With these people present, and the Han Emperor overthrowing the Tianzhu God statue, instead of being punished, he was killed indiscriminately by thunder from the sky.
All this almost made most of the South Vietnamese natives who were captured on the top of the mountain surrender directly to the Han.
"And that boy Barneyhan."
Bamudan muttered, very unhappy:
"That boy Banihan also gathered a lot of scattered tribesmen, defected to the Han, and killed many people with the Han army."
"He also said that I killed his father and wanted to take revenge from me."
"I'm crazy, I want to kill Barrow??"
"You killed Barrow??"
Zhang Yiping looked surprised. Barrow was a rare tough man among the South Vietnamese natives.
The imperial court failed to conquer the land many times, so he was killed?
"Nothing!"
Bamudan kept shaking his head in defense:
"I really didn't!"
Zhang Yiping raised his eyebrows and said:
"I heard you say that Barrow and Ba Acha were planning to knock you anti-Han faction out, then go into the mountains and forests, and jump off the broken ship of Cochin this morning."
"It was precisely because Li Xuan knew about this that he risked his life, launched a riot, and even killed his own people."
Bamudan smiled bitterly:
"This is true. As long as the leaders die in the Han army camp, even if Li Xuan is not completely successful and both sides insist on their own opinions, the tribe will definitely be more inclined to my side."
"This is how it is now. Although there are still pro-Han tribesmen alive, they still choose to follow the glory of Tianzhu God and fight against the Han people with me."
"But Barrow and I have a life-long friendship. I even blocked a knife from him on the battlefield five years ago."
"I'm not that kind of person either."
"Barrow has his own position and is unwilling to follow us. I have no reason to kill him!"
The more Zhang Yiping thought about it, the more he felt that things were a bit strange.
It's as if the internal strife among the South Vietnamese natives was deliberately manipulated.
"Did someone deliberately release the news, or did the news leak out?"
Bamudan was not sure and said:
"It's probably just that the news leaked out. During those few days, Barrow did often stay at Baacha's house."
"Barrow is a generous person, but he is not strict with his mouth. Ba Acha also likes to drink."
"Both of them have this kind of virtue. It's normal for them to talk about something and let others slip if they let it slip."
Zhang Yiping paused hesitantly. The matter was indeed suspicious, but if he thought about it further, he had no clue.
With the war going on, he didn't have time to think about these extra things. He simply asked about more important things:
"Approximately how many soldiers accompanied the Han Emperor to attack the mountain?"
Bamudan recalled it and affirmed:
"About five thousand people, not many."
"Many of them are those of the same clan who moved into the county and joined the army after seeing the Han army's generous food and pay."
"That's good news."
Zhang Yiping's expression softened a bit.
Although the Changshan Holy Land on the top of the mountain was lost, the Han army's previous defeat still had a considerable impact.
The Han army had very few combatable troops at this time!
Moreover, the majority of them were South Vietnamese soldiers, which meant that even if the Han emperor could subdue the captured South Vietnamese natives, he would not dare to use them lightly.
However, Bamudan didn’t feel anything bad, instead he was even more scared:
"The Han Emperor dared to attack the top of the mountain guarded by more than 20,000 of us with 5,000 men."
"Even Tianlei helped him, is it really the case that Tianbujue Han Dynasty?"
Zhang Yiping frowned. Looking at Bamudan's appearance, he was indeed hit hard. He needed to boost his confidence:
"The general still has 40,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. He has been recuperating for more than a month. Moreover, he has won a big victory and his morale is high."
"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty only has 5,000 fighting soldiers in his hands. Even if he can recruit all 20,000 of your clansmen to surrender, he still can't trust him wholeheartedly."
"Since heaven will never destroy the Han Dynasty, then it will be destroyed in the future."
After hearing this, Bamudan thought about it carefully and was no longer so afraid. He felt energetic in his heart.
General Zhang is right!
Even if the Han army could use the Changshan Holy Land as a stronghold and collect the defeated troops, it would still take time.
The troops in their hands have an absolute advantage. As long as they capture the Changshan Holy Land in time and take the Han Emperor by force, the Han Dynasty will lose.
"The troops are divided into three groups."
Zhang Yiping gave orders directly:
"Lei Lan, you lead 3,000 men to search the mountain. If the Han army breaks out, kill them without mercy."
"Bamu Dan, you lead two thousand people to guard the camp to prevent the Han army from breaking out."
"yes!"
Even though victory was certain, he did not underestimate the enemy too much.
Sou Shan was necessary to completely drive out the defeated Han army and to leave some troops behind in the camp to ensure that the retreat would not be cut off.
——
After dividing the troops, Zhang Yiping still had 35,000 men in his hands, which indeed had a huge advantage over the Han army.
So he chose to attack directly.
Although he had retreated in order to advance, he retreated to Jiuzhen County without even fighting the Han army.
