At this moment, the Kou family's army was like a rewinding flood, covering the Chola's defeated army. Even Guishuang Qingzhuang, who was so timid before that he fled before seeing his opponent, seemed to be possessed by warriors at this moment. body, and struck hard at the Chola's defeated army.
"Everyone pursues you. Don't stop unless you capture the entire opponent's army." Lao Kou ordered loudly on his horse. At this moment, he seemed to have figured out everything. He was no longer confused at all. Go to hell. Don't chase the poor bandits and kill them!
At this time, the Kushan soldiers in the rear camp and the left camp, stimulated by the victory, roared and chased forward. At this time, the young and strong Guishan soldiers did not have the slightest fear, and some were just eager for military success. Fighting with the wind, picking up A human head means that an individual can exert his ultimate fighting power.
What fear, what fatigue, what awe, all disappeared at this moment, countless powers emerged from the deepest part of the body, the reward of a hundred acres of fertile land, the reward of an acre of house, these substantial rewards impacted the young and strong body of Guishuang. brain.
Even if there is no promotion of the Kshatriya caste, the substantial reward is enough to make everyone excited. The third-level knighthood. For Qin Jue's method of granting titles based on beheading for merit, facing such a great victory and pursuit. Opportunity, all the young and strong motivation has been pulled to full value.
After all, this is a pursuit of a defeated army, killing a hundred acres of people. Who can resist such a free bargain? Two hundred thousand Dalits are like walking treasure chests at this moment, and their heads are bound to fall. , If you don’t chase me now, I’ll wait until later.
For a moment, Guishuang's young men roared out and chased the defeated Zhu Luo.
Lao Kou couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene, but in the end he said nothing. For Lao Kou, winning is enough, other performances are not important, chase!
The old enemy rolled up the rear camp, the left camp, and the Kushan Qingzhuang who had been defeated before in the front camp, and launched a pursuit attack on more than 100,000 Chola soldiers. The entire Chola army collapsed. In the current situation, the organizational strength is in rubbish. Under this situation, the rear army was unable to reorganize the front line.
As a result, the Zhuluo army's nearly 200,000 troops directly rolled back its own logistics and civilians, causing the collapse of the team to become even larger. Seeing this, the old bandits immediately pursued them non-stop to death, taking advantage of the chaos to strangle everyone in the chaos. The backbone of the Chola group fought tooth and nail to save their organizational power.
Driving this great flood back to the depths of the Chola Dynasty, at this time, the Cholas were limited by the speed of information transmission and the speed of Kou's advance. It was too late to mobilize the soldiers on the Yanbian defense line to gather the defeated army, and it was too late to organize more Human hands blocked the fleeing soldiers on the front line.
So much so that the Kou family's army began to advance crazily, just as they had crossed the Northern Dynasty and the Yangtze River. At this time, Lao Kou's mind was unusually clear. He seized the ships, advanced by waterway, blocked the city, surrounded but not attacked, and the army They forcibly jumped over the fortified city and rushed directly to rescue the Chola army.
Concentrate superior forces, execute decapitation tactics, quickly cut off the Chola's food and logistics lines, and attack the capital of the Chola dynasty, Thanjavur, in a leaping way.
This method, which is completely different from classical warfare and is close to the combination of penetration tactics and leapfrog tactics in the middle of World War II, allowed Lao Kou to lead a main force of over 100,000 young men to advance to the northern part of the Cauvery Delta at an unimaginable speed. At this time, Zhu Luo reluctantly gathered the troops in the south, but unfortunately he made a mistake in his desperation.
In the large-scale battle in the Cauvery Delta, the main force of the Chola held back the old invaders, and then waited for the superior forces to concentrate, preparing to rely on the concentrated tactics of the large army to encircle and suppress the old invaders from all directions. After all, the old invaders' breakthrough method was too unscientific.
It was almost like a blitz, bypassing most of the built cities in front, and appeared directly in the capital of the Cholas. Once the main force was blocked by the Chola Dynasty, there would inevitably be problems with the logistics in the north. As long as the Kou family's retreat was cut off, the Chola Dynasty would Almost able to catch a turtle in a urn, he executed beheading tactics on all the elite members of the Kou family.
However, what makes Lao Kou better than the Chola dynasty is that in terms of grand strategy, Lao Kou made absolutely correct judgments. The Kou soldiers who blocked the northern strong city had already given up attacking the northern Zhu Luo Jian before the main Chola forces were dispatched. The blockade of the city.
The wisdom that Lao Kou gained from facing all kinds of situations in life over the past forty years really showed its effect. After Lao Kou's empty camp, the defenders of the northern city were frightened by the combat effectiveness shown by the Kou family before. They did not directly send troops, but It took a few days to make the right decision.
In this way, all the tentacles released by the Kou family were recovered one step before the Chola Dynasty. With a simple time difference, the main force of the Chola Dynasty on the south bank of the Cauvery River directly encountered an unexpected blow, and the waterway More than 7,000 people were able to deliver a fatal blow to the main Chola force at just the right moment in the chaos.
The main force of 130,000 Cholas collapsed immediately, even though there were two entire elite corps among them. Facing the full blow of the old enemy, the Cauvery River was stained with blood.
With the collapse of the main force of the Cholas, the old enemy did not give the Cholas any chance to breathe. He rushed to Thanjavur that day and took advantage of the moonlit night to directly attack the city. He did not hesitate to lose soldiers, using ladders, siege towers, flying bridges and other very special attacks. The rudimentary construction machinery, after suffering 40,000 casualties, captured the Chola capital at dawn the next day.
When the rescue regiment from the northern Chola arrived, the king's flag was already changing at the top of the city. They hurried along slowly, but what they saw was such a discouraging scene.
The old bandits, who had rested for two more days and were waiting for work, decisively organized 60,000 backbones after the first two Chola relief regiments arrived. They took advantage of the enemy's attack and had not yet set up camp. They defeated them in one go and pursued them all the way. After killing all the reinforcements in the six northern cities, they quickly sent people to take control of the six northern cities. The Chola Dynasty completely changed hands from then on.
The entire operation was so dangerous that if one step went wrong, the enemy would most likely be defeated and even risk his life. However, the war was won, and all unqualified operations were correct and meaningful. Just like how now the eldest princess of Yiyang can be so proud to tell Zhong Yao all the series of operations that her son failed in the underworld.
"The Marquis of Shangxiang is indeed brave and decisive. If he makes one mistake, he will never be able to take down the entire Chola Dynasty so quickly." Zhong Yao clapped his hands and said. He also knows the army. Even Zhong Yao himself can command the army. Therefore, Zhong Yao realized more clearly how terrible Kou's operation was. It was really a rhythm that meant he would be doomed if he made one wrong move.
"We haven't taken it yet. It's just that we have taken it all in the north. It will take a lot of time in the south. After all, the rebels of the Chola Dynasty are still resisting." Princess Yiyang clapped her hands and said, but her words seemed like Just like showing off.
The Chola Dynasty is easy to defend in the north and difficult to attack. The south is all coastal plains and there is no danger to defend at all. The capital Thanjavur is located in the Cauvery River Delta. It is the last line of defense for the entire country, and Lao Kou showed off there. After one operation, the country is finished.
Even the north has been leveled, the river has been crossed, and the south is all plains. It is only a matter of time before it is cleared. Think about it, when the Dalits captured Chola, they also leveled the north, and then beheaded the city of Thanjavur. The South can figure it out with some time and experience.
"But even so, I would like to congratulate Your Highness first." Zhong Yao cupped his fists and saluted, "I will never accept you as the Queen Mother in the future."
There is basically no resistance to Kou's enfeoffment. Unless Kou cuts off his own hand, there is nothing he can do, but judging from the situation, he probably won't do that.
"Where, where." The eldest princess of Yiyang said with a smile. She was really happy. Originally, the eldest princess was the limit of her status in this life. She didn't expect that when the end came, she could still get the title of queen mother. In the future Death can also be called "died".
After basically reaching an agreement with the Kou family, Zhong Yao didn't stay long. The eldest princess of Yiyang mainly supported the sixty-year-old Lian, but Zhong Yao was happy to talk to him, even if he just had a meal, thirty years old, count Forget it, melon fields and plum blossoms are under the sky, you can't afford to offend.
"Let's go back and collect information on the Kou family. The performance of Marquis Shangxiang is too weird. One wrong step in this style of play will lead to death." Zhong Yao said to his guards when he got into the car.
Although it makes sense to win, it also depends on how you win. The victory that Zhong Yao admires the most is Chen Xi's kind of victory. Because he is stable, not afraid of losing, and can afford to lose, there is no need to look at the process. Victory is the inevitable result, completely. no need to worry.
The Kou family's victory was too dangerous in Zhong Yao's eyes. The eldest princess of Yiyang did not know how to fight. She only saw that her son did not lose a game and defeated the Zhuluo Dynasty in the whole process. But in Zhong Yao's eyes, the Kou family Every step of the way is very tense. If you make a mistake, you may be dead.
However, from a purely military point of view, every step has a considerable error tolerance. In the battle of the Cauvery River, the main force blocking the rear did not arrive, and there were thousands of main forces on the waterway attacking from the back of the river. At most, it was a tank attack. Things won't go so smoothly in Jawur City.
But if you think about it carefully, if the army behind the blockade had not arrived, it would be impossible for the Chola reinforcements to arrive. The Kou family would have more time in Thanjavur to think about how to attack Thanjavur. There is no need to launch an attack overnight.
Of course, Zhong Yao, who launched the overnight attack, thought it was right, because the situation at that time had reached that point. After cutting off the main force in the Cauvery River, the Kou family's military strength had reached a certain peak and would inevitably fall back in a short time. It was better to take advantage of the situation. When the momentum is at its peak and can withstand extreme losses, directly attack the Chola King's city.
After all, if you get to that point, even if you don't win, Kou will be able to retreat, at most it will be peeling skin, and if you win, you will really make a lot of money. As a result, he actually won one overnight. In the capital of the country, this is really an almost miraculous achievement.
"It seems that I need to meet with the Marquis of Shangxiang. This is not an ordinary commander. If these actions are not due to luck, but to strength..." Zhong Yao breathed out.
