Chapter 994: Another Great Victory (2)
Chapter 994: Winning again (2)
Anyone who can run, all ran away.
Those who couldn't escape, after seeing the army leaving soon, no longer had the intention of fighting and knelt on the ground and begged for surrender.
This war is not very big. At least compared with the battles that Zhao Dongting personally fought in the past, the scene is much smaller.
But the results are brilliant.
The soldiers who fled and left in Shanchan's palace were probably only about 3,000 left, and more people were kneeling on the ground and begging for surrender.
Those who were shot may be the least.
After the guns and cannons stopped, Liu Zhuwen walked out of the dense forest with his personal guards and met Zhang Hongwei, who was leading the army.
Zhang Hongwei looked at the Shanchan Mansion troops kneeling on the ground in the dense forest and laughed, "Captain Liu, you are really a talented person, a talented person!"
It was only then that he realized the profound meaning of what Liu Zhuwen said at the beginning that he would win in this battle as long as he was behind him.
Liu Zhuwen probably never thought that the two thousand special tribes could destroy the Shanchan army in a short period of time. All he thought was to defeat it.
The two or three thousand cavalry led by Zhang Hongwei were exactly the key factor that scared the Shanchan Mansion Army.
Two thousand soldiers killed nearly 3,000 enemies and captured nearly 4,000 prisoners. Such a result is definitely not inferior to the famous white-robed army in history.
Liu Zhuwen just smiled and bowed, "Captain Zhang, be polite."
Zhang Hongwei said: "Then let's rest here first, and then continue to go to Shanchan Mansion?"
"No."
Liu Zhuwen shook his head, "Captain Zhang, I think it is more appropriate to go to the Weichu Mansion in the west at this time to attack Weichu."
Zhang Hongwei frowned slightly, very surprised, "But we just defeated Shanchan Army, why not take this opportunity to directly destroy Shanchan Mansion?"
Liu Zhuwen said: "As far as I heard, Jiang Kui is very different from Zhao Liangcai. Zhao Liangcai is Duan Xingzhi's loyalty. He has been loyal to Duan Xingzhi for guarding Xiushan County for Duan Xingzhi, and has always been incompatible with the Nalou, Aji, Qixi and other tribes in the county. Although Duan Xingzhi has half of the thirty-seven tribes to join the imperial guards, this has not improved the relationship between Zhao Liangcai and the tribe leaders, but has worsened. Therefore, when we attacked Xiushan City, those tribes showed no sign of helping Zhao Liangcai. Jiang Kui was very smooth, and his relationship with those tribes has been greatly improved in the past two years. Although we are now carrying a great victory, the soldiers are exhausted after all, and it is not easy to capture Shanchan Mansion."
He looked west, "It's different to attack Weichu Mansion, and the soldiers can rest on the way to march. Moreover, we have time to really regain these surrendered soldiers."
Zhang Hongwei hesitated, "But will Shanchan Mansion army watch us attack Weichu Mansion? We will not be deeply encircled by then?"
"They dare not."
Liu Zhuwen Yaofan chuckled, "Calculate the time, Marshal Zhang should have led his army to Dali quickly. Jiang Kui could not dare to divide his troops to help Wei Chu at this time."
Upon hearing this, a flash of light flashed in Zhang Hongwei's eyes.
Then he clapped his hands heavily, "Okay, then we will attack the Weichu Mansion. Damn, this time it will definitely turn his Dali to pieces!"
The soldiers took the surrendered soldiers of Shanchan Army to the official road.
Captured weapons pile up into hills.
Later, the army behind also arrived here, and the two surrendered soldiers combined had more than 10,000 people.
Of course, this will cause a huge burden on the food and grass of Tianji and Tianxian.
But the two armies had just robbed the granary in Xiushan City. The army had abundant food and was rich. In a short period of time, there was no need to worry about food shortage.
But after a little rest, the army headed northward, then folded the road at the intersection of the official road and headed westward.
This will take a few days.
The army led by Zhang Hongwei and Liu Zhuwen rushed to the territory of Weichu Mansion.
Dali has a narrow territory, so it can barely be regarded as the hinterland of Dali. And if it goes north from Weichu Prefecture, it will border the capital of Dali.
At the same time, Zhang Jue led Feitian and Tiangu's army finally rushed from Hengshanzhai to Ziqi. Now he has come from Qi and has arrived in Marble City County.
This is a different route from what Zhang Hongwei and Liu Zhuwen took before.
Although Shicheng County has a small territory, there were eleven tribes during the period, and its power was complicated.
Zhang Jue's intention to advance was very obvious. He just came from Qi and went straight to Luoxiong's tribe. This place is a must-pass place to go to Shanchan Prefecture.
Obviously, compared to Shicheng County, he was more willing to bite the hard bones of Shanchan Mansion.
Among the eight Dali palaces, Shanchan Mansion, which is personally managed by the uncle, is the most prosperous and powerful.
If Shanchan Mansion can be eaten up, I wonder how Dali king Duan Xingzhi would be furious.
The war will spread further and further into the depths of Dali without any accident.
The Song army's strategic policy of the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves is enough to show that they have no intention of taking over Dali at all. To put it bluntly, they just came to fight the autumn wind.
This is like the past when nomadic peoples in the north often robbed the Central Plains when they encountered natural disasters.
On Jinghu South Road, Zhao Dongting took Baicao Valley disciples to play for a few days, the freshness of the female disciples gradually faded away.
The marching speed was much faster afterwards, and at this time he rushed to Changsha City.
Zhao Dongting brought hundreds of Feilong Army and more than 100 disciples from Baicaogu into the city, which caused a sensation in Changsha City to be ignored.
Although no one knew that the emperor was among this group of people, the combination of soldiers and fairies was enough to attract attention.
This matter must have been circulated among the people of Changsha for several days.
They finally entered the palace, so they had to add a bit of mystery to this matter.
After entering the palace, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu took the soldiers of the Feilong Army back to the camp reluctantly.
Zhao Dongting personally took the Lord of Baicao Valley and his disciples to Wuding Hall, set up Baicao Hall, and arranged a residence for them personally.
Then he took Le Chan and Xiao Wu to Yang Shufei's bedroom. Of course, Le Wuqi, who was Le Chan's father, was also called.
The two have been in love for many years, and have been waiting for this moment for five years. It is not nice to say that the dry firewood is not very good, but this is the reality.
While still on the way back to Changsha, Zhao Dongting had already talked about their marriage to Le Chan and Le for free.
Le Chan has thin skin and only said that her father would agree at this time.
Le Wuchen now almost admires Zhao Dongting very much and naturally agrees happily.
In terms of talent and martial arts, how many young people in the world can compete with the emperor?
As for status, let alone. The entire Song Dynasty regarded Zhao Dongting as the most respected.
Even if it is a picky father-in-law and mother-in-law, it is unlikely that it will be difficult to find any flaws in such a son-in-law who rides the dragon.
