Chapter 287 Change of Policy
In the evening, two bonfires were ignited under the braised cloud seal.
The thick smoke rolled, proclaiming the complete end of this wild encounter.
More than 100,000 corpses were burned to ashes and blown away by the wind.
Yue Peng, Su Quandang, and Zhang Hongwei led the remaining less than two thousand soldiers, as well as Zhao Da and Zhao Hu's four hundred flying dragon troops to Cenxi. Wuzhou City has been broken, and it is no point in continuing to stay here.
Their mission was always just to assist in defending Wuzhou City.
Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue took Jin Hao, Ge Xiuhong, Miao Youli and others to lead the remaining soldiers to continue to go to Hanjin overnight.
Until this time, Zhao Dongting, who was leading his army from Duanxi to Yizhou, had not learned about the battle.
His army was escorted with food, grass and weapons, as well as 15,000 yuan surrendered soldiers and thousands of people. The march was slow, and it would probably take nearly ten days to arrive in Yizhou.
In this way, late the next night, Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue led the remaining troops to Hanjin.
The scouts of the Song army in Hanjin County in the field discovered it early and reported to Liu Zijun, the commander of the Tianxiong Army, and Jiang Xiu, the commander of the Tianman Army. The two of them and their generals arrived at the city gate to wait.
When they saw Wen Tianxiang and others leading their soldiers to slowly walk towards the city gate under the torch, they both had complicated expressions in their eyes.
They had also learned about the result of the bloody battle between Wen Tianxiang and the others with the Yuan army on the way, and had sent a quick horse to report to Zhao Dongting.
Eighty thousand powerful troops defended Wuzhou, but now there are only so many people left to come back to Hanjin, which is a shock to anyone.
When Wen Tianxiang and the others got closer, Liu Zijun and Jiang Xiu went up with them, "Brother Tianxiang, are you okay?"
Liu Zijun is also a fellow villager of Wen Tianxiang, and is only a little younger than Wen Tianxiang. He has followed Wen Tianxiang for many years. When he learned that the Yuan army caught up with Wen Tianxiang and others who left Wuzhou City, what he was most worried about was Wen Tianxiang's safety.
Wen Tianxiang shook his head gently and said nothing.
He led his army to Hanjin overnight, sleeplessly, and now he was almost unable to speak.
Liu Zijun looked around him and didn't see Du Hu's figure, and couldn't help but ask again: "Where is Du Hu?"
Wen Tianxiang pointed to the back and said, "He was injured by an arrow and was behind."
As he said that, he took the lead in walking into the city.
At this time, he really didn't care about what to say to Liu Zijun. He needed rest, and the soldiers needed rest even more.
Liu Zijun hurriedly ran to the back of the army when he heard this. When he saw Du Hu, who was pale and extremely weak, he could not stop his eyes from being red.
While they were fighting with Wen Tianxiang and the Yuan army, most of the little brothers were killed. Now, there are only these brothers left.
The army followed Wen Tianxiang into the city.
As soon as we arrived in the city, soldiers collapsed in the city and fell asleep.
Liu Zijun and Jiang Xiu quickly asked the soldiers under their command to take over the food, grass, weapons, and wounded soldiers.
The army had already prepared food and brought it to the city gate.
The soldiers who entered the city had just eaten dry food for the past two days. Suddenly, they ate the hot food, and some people couldn't help but burst into tears.
They really didn't expect that they would come back alive, and more brothers would stay in the wild forever.
Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Jue, Ge Xiuhong and others drove their horses to the government office, but they could only cheer up. They couldn't sleep yet because they had to discuss how to resist the Yuan army next.
Liangjin County is just a small town and it is difficult to resist the attack of the Yuan army, not a long-term place.
After Liu Zijun and Jiang Xiu hurriedly arranged the soldiers entering the city, they rushed to the main hall of the government office.
As soon as he arrived at the hall, Liu Zijun said to Wen Tianxiang: "Military order, the emperor sent a secret letter last night."
Wen Tianxiang was discussing carefully with Zhang Jue and the others. When he heard this, he was so excited that he said, "Hurry and show it to me."
Liu Zijun took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Tianxiang.
Wen Tianxiang read the letter and pondered for a long time, "breaking the whole into pieces, avoiding the real and attacking the virtual."
Then he handed the letter to Zhang Jue.
Zhang Jue read it and said, "Military Order, this is your strength. Next, you will be in charge of the army!"
Originally, he had command of the five armies of Tianxuan, Tiangu, Tianmeng, Tianfu and Tiangui, but now he intends to hand them all over to Wen Tianxiang.
Wen Tianxiang was not humble and nodded slightly.
At present, the five armies of Tianxuan, Tiangu, Tianmeng, Tianfu, and Tiangui are actually not left with many troops.
Wen Tianxiang looked at the sand table in the hall with the lamp and said, "Then let's discuss how to arrange troops next."
Everyone started to discuss it carefully again.
The past few days.
Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Zhang Hongwei and others led their troops back to Cenxi long ago. Then they also arranged them in a tight manner according to Zhao Dongting's secret letter.
In Wuzhou City, Yuan general Tohoer also led his 40,000 soldiers into the city.
Zhao Dongting was still on the way to Yizhou. While he was moving, the scout came to report that hundreds of soldiers from behind were rushing towards them.
After Zhao Dongting learned about this, he was first surprised, and then realized that this should be his own army.
The Yuan army had just experienced the Battle of Wuzhou, and there was no reason why soldiers could catch up with them so quickly. So he ordered the army to stop and wait.
