After the war, Mu Sheng and the mountain puppet generals rode past the Taisha position. They saw corpses all over the mountains and plains, blood flowing everywhere, broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, various weapons and equipment discarded by Taisha's 600,000 troops, and a large number of Taisha The military prisoners were cleaning the battlefield and carrying corpses under the custody of the Jin army.
In fact, most of the casualties in the battle between the two armies were caused after the defeat. In this era, the military formations were tight and the armies were arranged in neat queues. Once the military formations were broken, the army lost order, soldiers were separated, and the command system was paralyzed. The more troops there are, the more trouble there is. Soldiers trample on each other, and friendly troops will kill each other in order to escape. This is when the casualties are heaviest.
Faced with such a hellish situation, Mu Sheng secretly sighed in his heart, this is a cruel war. Maybe Tesha and his subordinates did not expect to be inexplicably involved in a battle to restore Laima, which perished more than a hundred years ago, right?
The entire war took several months from preparation to official decisive battle. The actual battle between the two armies took less than a day to decide the winner. Most of the time was spent on long-distance marches and food and grass logistics preparations. The war It is a complex systematic project, logistics is the key, and the specific tactics are secondary. People are iron, and food is steel. If you don't eat a meal, let alone fight, you won't even be able to pick up weapons.
At this time, Borzongbi, who was following the emperor, respectfully reported the results of the battle to Mu Sheng:
"As a reminder to our ancestors, Taisha's 600,000-strong army suffered a disastrous defeat in this battle. Except for a small number of Wang's troops under the Taisha royal family's escape, they were basically wiped out. Our mountain puppets and the Jin army suffered a total loss of more than 40,000. The Jin army As the main attacker, most of the casualties were from the Jin army. Our army suffered more than 7,000 casualties, and more than 3,000 were killed directly. As for the casualties of Taisha's army, they are countless. Our army captured Taisha and surrendered more than 50,000 soldiers. , the Jin army captured more than 100,000 people, and 84 city lords from various princes and cities in Taisha, but the commander of the Taisha army and the prime minister Pamika Takuba were not seen, and the rest were defeated and fled..."
After the report, Mu Sheng nodded slightly. He looked up at the sky. It was almost dusk, and the last trace of the setting sun was about to disappear in the horizon.
Mu Sheng ordered: "It's getting late. Don't pursue the enemy. Let the forward army withdraw. You follow me to the Jin army camp to see the general. We are discussing the next strategy of entering the army. By the way, Borjak You send someone to inform the 20,000 elites that the front line has won a great victory, so that they don’t have to withdraw with their troops and let them wait for the opportunity. There is also an important task, which is to let the Jacques troops travel lightly and continue to penetrate into the enemy’s territory. Try to intercept Emperor Taisha before the news of the defeat on the front reaches the capital of Taisha. Don’t let this old guy escape. It’s best if you can capture him alive. If he succeeds, this battle will be his first achievement.”
Borzongbi bowed his hands and said: "Ancestor, I will make arrangements right away..."
At this time, Muyinaqi, the commander of the Black Bird Army who had just returned from chasing the remnants of the enemy, rode his horse to Mu Sheng's side. Seeing that he was arranging tasks to his generals, he said nothing and waited for his generals to retreat.
Muyinaqi stepped forward and praised: "I didn't expect that your command was quite good. You have a bit of the old thief Borges. I thought it was all for nothing."
Mu Sheng was wearing a mask and couldn't see his expression clearly, so he said in a modest tone: "It's pretty good, nothing big went wrong. I'm talking about the memory crystal he left in Tianque, and his battlefield experience and military application can also be used." It provides me with reference and gives me a panoramic view of learning. I am standing on the shoulders of giants!"
Muyinaqi nodded obediently and looked at him with admiration...
In the main tent of the Jin army, Mu Sheng led Shan Puppet and other generals to the camp.
When Lu Sheng saw the emperor coming, he blushed, raised his hands to Mu Sheng and laughed, "King Zhennan, our army has won a great victory!"
Mu Sheng also smiled and said: "Congratulations to the general on this great victory. If the general's command is stable and he takes great credit, I will personally go to the emperor to express my merits to the general."
When Lu Sheng heard this, he laughed and said, "The King of Zhennan has given me the reward. If it weren't for your assistance, Your Majesty, how could we have achieved such a great victory if the officers and soldiers of our three armies had sacrificed their lives."
After the two exchanged business boasts, they started talking about business.
Lu Sheng said: "King Zhennan, you have been in southern Xinjiang for a long time. Now that Taisha has been defeated, will you agree to my conditions of the Jin Dynasty and let Laima return to the country? If Taisha gives in, I will return to the court. ”
Mu Sheng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Taisha will not give in easily. Back then I sent troops to defeat Taisha's main force and burned their royal capital. Taisha is still a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water and continues to pester me. , Even if we retreat into the mountains to fight guerrillas, we will not surrender. Taisha has a vast territory, rich resources, and strategic depth, so it is impossible for us to divide our troops and occupy the entire territory of Taisha."
"Recalling the past, I had no choice but to withdraw my troops. Now our army can only use lightning speed to surround King Taisha and capture Emperor Taisha alive. Maybe we can achieve the purpose of threatening Taisha, otherwise I As soon as the army withdraws, these Taisha nobles will still support Emperor Taisha to come back and continue to cause chaos. If this continues, there will be no end."
"It's impossible for your army to stay here forever, but I have already sent a partial army to intercept Emperor Taisha in advance. I hope it's too late. Let's rest for a night today and send troops to attack the capital of Taisha King tomorrow morning. Let's see if we can Will we force Tessa to negotiate peace with us?"
Hearing this, Ahrami also nodded slightly and said, "What King Zhennan said makes sense. If you want Taisha to obey, you must capture Emperor Taisha alive."
Lu Sheng walked around in circles for a few times. The soldiers were very fast. Lu Sheng wanted to break camp and rush on the road now. However, the soldiers had just experienced a big battle and had to take a rest. Otherwise, if the division veterans were tired and continued the expedition, something would happen.
Lu Sheng said: "Okay! According to the wish of King Zhennan, we will continue to go south tomorrow. If we don't break Taisha this time, we will never return it."
After everyone had reached a consensus, they all returned to camp to rest...
In the early morning of the next day, the coalition forces continued to march. They traveled for half a month. From time to time, they encountered Taisha's defeated soldiers who tried to ambush and intercept the coalition forces, but they were easily crushed by the coalition forces. However, the gap in strength between the two sides was so great that they were like a mantis trying to catch a chariot.
Two days later, Mu Sheng finally received the news from Borjak. He had surrounded the royal capital. None of the royal relatives in the royal capital had escaped. After hearing Borzongbi's report, Mu Sheng was extremely surprised. How did he do it with thousands of troops? What a talent?
Seeing that there were still four days to go, Mu Sheng was not immune to an accident. After notifying Lu Sheng, he marched to the capital of Taisha in advance.
After two days of rapid march, Shanpu's 100,000 troops finally arrived at the capital of Taisha. Anyway, Taisha's main army had been wiped out. There was no big danger. However, the whole army was still panting from exhaustion. Mu Sheng ordered They set up camp outside the city and rested the entire army.
When he finally saw Borjak's camp, Mu Sheng understood clearly that although this boy was young, he was quite resourceful. He spread flags around the capital and built many empty camps, alternating between false and true, so that the enemy could Unable to figure out the situation, they missed a good opportunity to escape. Once the main force of the mountain puppets arrived, the dignitaries of the Taisha royal family would really be unable to fly.
Mu Sheng rode his horse and jumped onto a small hill next to the royal capital. He took a look at the royal city from a distance and saw that its architectural style was very different from that of the Central Plains. It had huge stone city walls and numerous towers in the city. Most of the buildings were also made of stone. The architectural style It looks exquisite yet grand, and there is a splendid and tall building complex in the center of the city, which seems to be the location of the Taisha Palace.
Seeing the arrival of the Shanpu army, Borjak quickly reported his work to the emperor.
Seeing that he was in high spirits, Mu Sheng rode his horse forward and patted his shoulder, praising: "Good! Very good, good boy. He is indeed a member of my Boer family. He is young and promising and has done a good job."
Borjak touched the back of his head and said sheepishly: "Thanks to your great blessing, my ancestor, I only thought of doing this. In fact, there are only 25,000 defenders in the royal capital. Originally, they wanted to break out. I set up an ambush outside the city and was defeated. Now there are only 10,000 people left in the city to defend the city. If our army attacks the city and takes the royal capital, it will only be a matter of time."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he raised his head and laughed and said: "Okay! Good boy, I will remember you as the first contributor to this battle. After the army has rested and reorganized, I will personally lead the troops to defeat the capital of Taisha. By then, I will see that there are still more people in this southern border." Who dares to stroke my tiger beard? It has been three hundred years, and our mountain puppets are back again, hahaha..."
Borzombi and Borjak looked at the emperor with admiration, bowed and saluted: "Congratulations to our ancestors for your coming to the capital of Taisha. For thousands of years, our ancestors have unified the world."
Mu Sheng couldn't stop laughing after hearing this...
These younger generations have grown up hearing about the glorious achievements of the Immortal Emperor, and they are from the Bor family. Naturally, they have an inexplicable admiration for the emperor. Although the old Immortal Emperor Borges is no longer around, but Mu Sheng, the 2.0 version of the Immortal Emperor, is a living legend in their hearts, the undefeated god of war. This battle was an extremely brilliant victory. Although it was mainly won by the Jin army with all their strength, Shan Puppet only played support, but when Mu Sheng Sheng once again personally commanded the mountain puppets to defeat Taisha's army, which could be regarded as once again strengthening and consolidating the prestige of the Changsheng Emperor.
If he could lead his army into the capital of Taisha again after three hundred years, then the golden signboard of the Immortal Emperor would be too strong. At least in southern Xinjiang, he could really do it. He would become a household name and stop children from crying at night.
At this time, Wolf Lord Suchanur also came forward and complimented: "Congratulations to the great emperor for coming to the capital..."
Seeing that the Wolf Lord was hesitant to speak, Mu Sheng asked, "Wolf Lord, if you have anything to say, just tell me. We are all one of our own."
Suchanur said: "Well, if you, the great emperor, allow me, the Wolfsburg Warriors, to enter the city, I will fully repay the military expenses for this troop dispatch and seize 28% of the city's property. Of course, you will take the lion's share. You see... …”
Mu Sheng sneered in his heart. It seems that the mercenaries under Suchanur are still stubborn and want to make money by slaughtering the city? But pull it down! He has other plans. Those who only care about immediate gains and do not pay attention to long-term development are destined to fail. But from Suchanur's point of view, he has gathered some desperadoes under Wolfsburg, who live and die for money, so it seems understandable...
Mu Sheng waved his hand and said: "I have my own thoughts on this matter. This war is based on the right to attack the unjust. We are not here to kill people and set fire. We are mainly here to help Laima restore the country. I will naturally not be short of your military expenses." You agree, let’s talk about entering the city later.”
"Suchanur, this time we want to raise up the army of benevolence and righteousness. Don't massacre the city at every turn. Firstly, it will hurt the peace of the world. Secondly, we will lose the people's support. How can we win the world if we lose the people's support?"
After hearing this, Suchanur laughed a few times and echoed: "What the emperor taught me is that I have remembered it, and I must restrain my subordinates and show mercy with a knife..."
After saying that, he retreated. He thought that he had no part in the massacre of the city. This old thief had massacred the city a lot back then. Why is he pretending to be a white lotus now? What kind of moral gentleman are you pretending to be? Funny... I just want to be alone. When the main force of the Jin army comes, I will definitely get a share of the pie...
After listening to the emperor's moral remarks, the great patriarch Ahrami nodded and agreed: "The emperor is wise, if our army recruits benevolent and righteous troops, this military operation will not be so objectionable to us in the hearts of the people of Taisha. I The restoration of Laima can also be said to be the result of a famous example."
Mu Sheng said: "Yes! What the patriarch said is right. I burned down the royal capital once before, but what did I get? In addition to countless gold and silver treasures and beautiful women, I also incurred hundreds of years of hatred from Taisha. Hatred, Tessa always tried to unite with the former tribe to destroy the mountain puppets. I must not make the same mistake this time. Not only will I not massacre the city, but I will help Tessa and the Lema Kingdom rebuild their home. This is the one who wins the hearts of the people. If you don't plan for the whole world, you can't plan for a moment; if you don't plan for the overall situation, you can't plan for a region. Killing is easy, but winning the hearts and minds of the people is extremely difficult..."
The puppet generals behind the emperor looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that the emperor has changed his gender? They still can't understand what medicine the Emperor bought in his gourd...
Seeing the bewildered expressions on his generals' faces, Mu Sheng secretly smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't understand. You all can understand. What qualifications do I have to be a leader?"
