Jiang County.
Battle of Beishan Fort.
Jin Huanshan lost four Mongolian and Yuan thousand captains and nearly five thousand Mongolian and Yuan soldiers. Their vitality was severely damaged and they had to ask the court for help to replenish their troops.
Now this army is still on the way. The Mongolian people are a natural fighting nation. The strong men they recruit can be used immediately and can immediately become brave and capable elites.
No need to worry about it.
In the last battle, Zhang Bu's tens of thousands of Han soldiers and horses did not participate much. Of course, he has little combat effectiveness. Most of his soldiers are newly recruited.
It belongs to the same virtue as the tens of thousands of Han households in Guangyang Prefecture.
Zhang Bu and Jin Huanshan have already decided on a strategy. During spring plowing, troops were sent to destroy the grain harvest of Beishan Fort in order to achieve the purpose of wiping out Wu Nian.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Bu trained his troops and horses rigorously so that they would be ready for use when the time comes.
This morning.
Outside the city of Jiang County, tens of thousands of Han households were encamped.
On the flat land, there was a military camp. Because it was daytime, there were only a few soldiers on guard and alert.
Most of the soldiers are practicing in the school grounds.
"Kill, kill, kill!!!"
More than 10,000 soldiers were training with their spears. The shouts of killing rose into the sky. Their voices were loud and their momentum was not weak.
Zhang Bu was wearing armor, holding the hilt of his sword with his left hand, standing on the ordering platform, watching the soldiers training, his face extremely serious.
Not only did he have to face a powerful enemy like Wu Nian.
For a general, soldiers are capital. If you have strong soldiers in your hands, you can make great achievements. Prominent achievements are within reach.
Zhang Bu hopes to have such an elite army, be granted the title of marquis and become a general, and gain great wealth.
"Before the spring begins, it is no problem for this group of people to assist on the side, among other things." Zhang Bu looked at the soldiers and horses in front of him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he smiled slightly.
"Ta-ta-ta." There was a burst of rapid footsteps, and a soldier came to the ordering platform quickly and reported: "General. General Jin sent someone to summon the general."
"I got it. Let Wang Yonghu be responsible for the training." Zhang Bu's face became serious. After nodding, he went back to the tent, took off his armor, put on his regular clothes, got on his horse, and went out with dozens of soldiers. After leaving the military camp, we headed to Jiang County.
After arriving at Jin Huanshan's mansion, a guard led Zhang Bu to a small living room.
Jin Huanshan wore a blue robe and sat on the main seat waiting, with no emotion or anger on his face.
"General. You are looking for me." Zhang Bu walked in from outside and saluted Jin Huanshan respectfully. Although the last disastrous defeat was a blow to Jin Huanshan's prestige.
But as a member of thousands of Han households in Jinhuan Mountain, Zhang Bu did not dare to look down upon them in the slightest.
"Look what this is." Jin Huanshan showed a slight expression on his face, stretched out his right hand to grab the envelope on the coffee table, and handed it to Zhang Bu.
"Make tea." Jin Huanshan raised his head and ordered the waiter outside the door.
Zhang Bu was a little confused, so he came forward, bent down first, then reached out to take the envelope, sat down on the Taishi chair on the right, took out the letter paper, and started reading.
The next moment, Zhang Bu's expression became extremely exciting. I couldn't help but look up at Jin Huanshan and asked, "General. Is what you said above true?"
"Wan Yanxian is also a proud man. He will not slap himself in the face. The statement above is absolutely true." Jin Huanshan's expression became more complicated.
Warriors look down upon each other.
Wan Yanxian's failure made him feel a little happy. Now it's better, I'm not the only one who lost troops and generals.
During these days, Wan Yanxian was simply restless. Although the court did not punish him, it severely reprimanded him.
Now that Wan Yanxian is a close friend, he feels much better.
But on the other hand, his heart was heavy. Wu Nian captured two county towns, confiscated grain, grass and baggage, rescued Long Qi, and took away 20,000 to 30,000 people.
The strength is greatly increased.
This flame must be extinguished.
Fortunately, Wan Yanxian and Jin Ruiyun are both stable. If three ten thousand households unite, Wu Nian will die no matter how he looks at it, and he cannot die anymore.
Thinking of this, Jin Huanshan's mood improved a lot.
Really.
On weekdays, I pride myself on being somewhat wealthy. But after the incident fell on Wu Nian, his city felt as if it had been eaten by a dog.
After hearing Jin Huanshan's answer, Zhang Bu put down the letter with a heavy heart. He couldn't help but recall the time when Wu Nian and Ban Bian Zhang had a conflict in the past.
At that time, he attacked Beishan Fort and fought with Zhang Jin. Wu Nian is still playing the role of drumming next to him. How long has it been?
Wu Nian was actually able to challenge Wan Yanxian to a duel. Although he is not Wan Yanxian's opponent, he is still proud of himself. Besides, Wu Nian is still young, in his early twenties. How old is Wan Yanxian?
It seems like thirty-four or thirty-five?
Or thirty-seven?
Anyway, they are at least ten years apart.
"It's really terrible. And with Wu Nian's attitude towards the surrendered Han people, if I meet Wu Nian, he will definitely kill me."
"You can't fight him alone, never."
Zhang Bu thought to himself.
However, Zhang Bu is still very confident in his ability to lead troops. As long as he doesn't challenge Wu Nian to a duel, he is not afraid of fighting.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Bu raised his head and said sincerely to Jin Huanshan: "General. This incident in Guangyang Mansion is also a lesson for us."
"Wu Nian is very good at besieging cities and calling for reinforcements. But even so, we have to divide our troops to defend the city. Because if Wu Nian invades the city and robs the food and population, he will only be stronger."
"And the task of defending the city should be left to the Han soldiers."
Jin Huanshan nodded when he heard this and said: "Disperse your soldiers and horses to various cities and guard them. Without clear orders, these guards are not allowed to support each other."
Over at Guangyang Mansion, Wan Yanxian ordered Han soldiers to guard the city. Although he was played by Wu Nian. But it was also a helpless move.
The Han soldiers were not as elite as the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers and could only assist.
"Yes." Zhang Bu nodded and accepted. At this time, a waiter came in from the outside, holding two tea cups in his hand, and placed them on the coffee table next to Jin Huanshan and Zhang Bu respectively.
"Drink some tea and calm down. No matter what, the court supports us. With the cooperation of three ten thousand households, Wu Nian is dead."
A slight smile appeared on Jin Huanshan's face, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip before saying.
"Yes." Zhang Bu also smiled, picked up the tea cup and drank tea.
Shocked. Shocked.
Horror is horror.
They acknowledged Wu Nian's power, but they were also convinced that Wu Nian was dead.
Defend the city and don't give Wu Nian a chance to besiege the city and call for reinforcements.
The troops of three Mongolian and Yuan households directly bulldozed Beishan Fort.
Wu Nian is gone.
At the same time, Wu Nian finally returned to his loyal Beishan Fort.
