Chapter 71: The female general of the country's ruined family is the first
In the early morning of the second day, Huo Junxin led a hundred thousand troops to march quickly.
Although there is a problem with reinforcements, the quality of this team is excellent. In order to retake Yingzhou, and to make meritorious deeds, everyone was full of energy and morale, ready for the next vicious battle.
Cangzhou and Yingzhou are not far away. Before dawn, the army began to march on the high road and marched all the way to the outside of Yingzhou city at midnight.
The scouts in front reported that the people of Qi were not alert to their approach. Perhaps it was the realm of many days that made them take it lightly, and the negligence of this group of people is a good thing for them.
"Go down and prepare to attack the city." Huo Junxin commanded.
"Sir, we don't have an advantage in sieging the city now," the vanguard officer reminded.
100,000 to 30,000 seems to have an absolute advantage in numbers, but it is not. Since ancient times, defending the city is easy and difficult to attack, not to mention that Yingzhou City is a urn city, guarded by two city walls.
The entire Huo family's army stood firm in Yingzhou and had the upper hand from the beginning. If it weren't for the unfavorable reinforcements and the soldiers ran out of ammunition and food, they would never have lost so much.
It is also very difficult for them to launch a night attack to conquer Yingzhou.
The best way to siege a city is to besiege it.
Huo Jun said in his heart: "Besieging the city is not advisable. We don't have that much time, and we don't have enough food and equipment. We need to prepare capable people and warriors in Qi who can end the chaos and make a comeback."
She came back so quickly because she wanted to take advantage of the Qi State's leaderless benefits.
To retake Yingzhou, we must fight quickly.
It will be difficult to wait for the Qi Kingdom to decide on the succession of the throne.
There are risks in storming. If it was the previous Yingzhou City, such an action would naturally have a greater chance of failure than success.
But now things are different.
Huo Junxin's report on the situation in Yingzhou: "The moat of Yingzhou has been blocked by corpses. The Yangma Wall and the outer city wall of Yingzhou Weng City have all been damaged by the siege vehicles of Qi State, and the inner city wall also has many leaks. There are no craftsmen. , Yingzhou also does not have enough materials, and these places have never been filled. It is actually very easy to break the city."
The people of Qi probably did not think about the southern expedition and went to Yingzhou. They believed that the population of Yingzhou was a great burden, so they carried out large-scale damage to Yingzhou, and there was a massacre. Just hearing the description of the intelligence soldier, Huo Junxin felt extremely miserable.
The numerous corpses of the people of Yingzhou blocked the moat, and the moat dried up to reveal the riverbed that was not deep.
The only inconvenience is the bodies of people in the river. The soldiers may have to step on their bodies, and the mood of the soldiers is easily affected. But it is colder to say that the Xia people in Yingzhou are dead, and now they have no worries about going back to fight.
There will never be a situation where the people of Qi country push the people of Xia to the front, or use the people as dead soldiers, and there will not be a tragedy where they have to behead their own people if they want to take back the city.
After Huo Junxin explained Yingzhou's intelligence and battle plan clearly, all the officers had no objection to the siege plan.
Huo Junxin gave the order: "Advance troops, attack the city!"
*
In the early morning of the seventh day after the victory of Cangzhou City, Huo Junxin led a hundred thousand troops to raid Yingzhou.
In the black night, the full moon is bright and bright, and the wind is loud.
The warriors of the Xia Kingdom charged, holding their breaths, clenching their teeth, full of anger, stepping on the bones of their compatriots and crossing the moat.
The sound of sword fighting pierced through the silent night. The soldiers of Xia fought bravely, but the soldiers of Qi were defeated by the death of the monarch.
Qi's cavalry was fierce. On the vast plains, they rode high-headed horses to maneuver and fight, and a cavalry team could be dispatched to harvest a head at any time. But the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom have already been killed. They defended the city, lost their horses under their crotch, and lacked the advantage of maneuvering in combat. They were beaten by the elite infantry of the Xia Kingdom and fled.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "The general has been beheaded!"
Someone shouted: "The Rakshasa woman is here!"
Although they don't know whether the information is true or false, it does not prevent them from being frightened, throwing their helmets off their armor and fleeing. When they were fleeing, they turned around and looked back. The dilapidated towers were flickering with fire, the flag of Qi State was replaced, and a brand-new Huo-character flag was fluttering in the wind.
The soldiers of Qi State recalled the terrifying and terrifying figure when the Rakshasa woman Huo Junxin was carrying the heads of Yelu's father and son while reaping the lives of their generals a few days ago, and the speed of escape was faster.
Huo Junxin threw the head in his hand to the tower.
Behead General Just behead General, a name that can intimidate the enemy is not bad.
In ancient wars, morale is the most important thing. Therefore, she, who should have been commanding in the rear, also took the lead. She went up to the tower with a light work skill, found the protected imperial general, and took the head.
Before their large-scale siege equipment could be used, the Qi soldiers were defeated and fled to Yingzhou.
It took half an hour to retake the city of Yingzhou, and victory was easier than she imagined.
For the next two hours, they were cleaning the battlefield, carefully inspecting every fortress in Yingzhou City, and determined to recover Yingzhou.
At dawn, the gongs and drums of victory finally sounded.
However, this time, there was no joyous scene of the army and the people in the past, and the soldiers did not feel the joy of winning the battle. The original excitement, of course, disappeared after seeing Yingzhou in the sun.
Yingzhou City is an empty city, and only the bones of Yingzhou people are left inside and outside the city.
Many soldiers were in tears.
"If only we had come a month earlier!"
They are miserable.
It is impossible to imagine the mentality of those high-ranking officials and generals, and what kind of beasts they are!
How can a city ignore the lives of hundreds of thousands of people? ?
An officer asked with tears in his eyes, "Sir, what should I do next?"
"Rest in place for an hour, leave the injury, and move on with me intact." Huo Jun thought.
Xia State was occupied by Qi State in sixteen prefectures. They lost the entire north, and she only regained one. Of course this is not enough!
Mozhou is less than a day away from Yingzhou, so of course you have to take advantage of the situation!
*
Huo Jun heartily led the newly incorporated Huo Jiajun all the way north.
Mozhou is a small town, but its terrain is unique. Nine rivers converge, and there are many water ponds.
The easiest way to attack such a city is to attack by water. If the water of the Nine Rivers is drawn into Mozhou City, this city can be won without a fight.
However, the water attack will definitely hurt the people by mistake. Wasting time digging trenches for casting projects, the people in the city are afraid that they will suffer again.
Huo Junxin chose to attack.
The siege vehicles bombed with stones, and the bed crossbows were designed to aim at the weakest part of the tower.
Huo Junxin took the lead again, leading the climbing ladder of the leading death squad to the tower.
Against the enemy's rockets and log climbing charges, Huo Jun risked his life to climb the tower.
She showed her steel knife, and the enemy in front of her put down her weapon and fled immediately.
"It's Huo Junxin!"
"The Rakshasa woman has appeared!"
"Run away!"
The Qi soldiers were frightened and immediately began to flee.
Khan Yeluliang is the son of heaven in their eyes, the transformation of the gods. He won the land again and again, giving the nomads a place to live and work.
But such a god-like Khan was killed by Huo Junxin, and she killed their generals and their warriors like chopping melons and vegetables.
She is the devil in the world, everyone fears.
After a hard fight, Huo Jiajun won Mozhou.
Huo Junxin beheaded the officials of Qi State and came, and when the army of 1,000 people sent by Cangzhou City arrived in Mozhou, Huo Junxin's army headed north again.
Huo Jun's heart attacked Zhuozhou.
Emperor Xia rushed 800 miles, twelve gold medals, and summoned Huo Junxin to return to the capital.
Of course Huo Junxin didn't go back. She even wrote back asking for money, food, equipment, troops, and officials.
A city that has been shot down cannot be managed without qualified local officials.
Of course, the emperor refused to let her, and gave nothing, except for asking her to return to China.
If you don't give it, you won't give it. The money, grain and equipment are enough to grab the Qi State anyway, and people continue to join the army wherever the army passes.
As for officials, Huo Junxin simply promoted himself.
Luo Ying, Du Qingge, Zhang Cui, and many of her sister-in-law were all brought in by her, and they were responsible for the city they laid down.
no experience? study!
Missing someone? Just choose from the people of Xia who restore the city.
In fact, Huo Junxin has no intention of expanding her power. The Huo family has a loyal and patriotic character, and she does not intend to collapse.
But the emperor forced her to do so, which is also strange.
The rear area is being managed vigorously. With enough supplies, the siege strategy can be used, and Huo Junxin's battle is also very smooth.
After half a year, Huo Junxin won Zhuozhou, Youzhou, Shunzhou and Tanzhou.
Since she guarded Cangzhou's funeral, she has won six consecutive cities, and Huo's army has made a brilliant record.
The land occupied by the Xia Kingdom, this part of the territory to the north, was recovered after paying the least price.
Huo Junxin is still a wild general who has not been recognized by the court, and the emperor hates it so much. But her prestige, in the army, could not be shaken throughout the North.
Huo Junxin stood on the Great Wall and looked at the ancient offensive and defensive line built along the Yanshan Mountains.
After so many years, it finally returned to the hands of the people of Xia.
With the precipitous Yanshan Mountains and this line of defense, Qi's cavalry was as difficult as stepping into the Central Plains again.
The war will also stop, and we will not fight for the time being.
After the end of the internal struggle in Qi, envoys were sent to negotiate for peace. The details are being discussed.
The more interesting point is that the last monarch of the Qi state was a baby girl who was still in her infancy.
The prince's posthumous son Yeluzhen became the emperor, and the crown princess Xiao Yan became the empress dowager.
The plot forgotten by Huo Junxin has a sense of existence again.
The male protagonist was killed by her, but the female protagonist is now showing her head.
What kind of temperament is this silly and sweet lady of the Qi country in the book, and what kind of Qi Guo will become under her rule, it will take a few years to understand.
"General, are you really going back to the capital??" The officers under his command were worried.
Their generals resisted the decree several times, and it would be dangerous to return to the country?
"Of course we have to go back, don't we still have an account to settle with the court?" Huo Junxin said with a smile.
The external trouble is temporarily resolved, and it is time to clear up the internal trouble.
There are people in the imperial court who entrap the loyal and good people and cooperate with the enemy and betray the country, and they must be carefully investigated.
Will she be in danger when she goes to the capital? possible!
But she is not afraid! Those who need to be afraid are those treacherous officials, and the faint!
