Outside Wanshou City, dark clouds shrouded the city, a light cold wind blew, and after a while, raindrops fell from the sky.
Soon after, the thunderous sound of horse hooves began to be heard in the distance.
The Huainan soldiers on the city wall were all cold, watching hundreds of cavalry in the distance leisurely blocking the four gates.
"It's Sihong Cavalry!"
In the city gate tower, the two captains looked at the cavalry in the distance with ugly expressions.
There was still a hint of lingering panic in their eyes.
"Jiedu is dead. Sihong's army will arrive soon. I don't know how the general will decide...whether to surrender or fight with Sihong's army!"
One of the captains lowered his voice and said.
"How to fight? With just two or three thousand troops like us? The Sihong army can defeat Jiedu, how can we be their opponents? If we fight forcefully, we will all die!"
The other captain waved his hand quickly.
"Do you want to die?"
"Of course I don't want to, brother, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. I just want to save my life. If the general is willing to fight Sihongjun, let him fight. As long as he can save his life and give me a mouthful of food, who can I sacrifice my life for?"
Not long ago, the Sihong Army took Sun Ru's head and a large banner and circled the city, asking the Huainan Army general in charge of Kaicheng to surrender.
The general who stayed behind was Sun Ru's confidant, and he did not reply immediately. They did not open the city gates to surrender.
The Huainan army was defeated and the news of Sun Ru's death spread throughout Wanshou City.
People are panicked.
The morale of the Huainan army dropped sharply. No matter how hard the left-behind generals tried to boost their morale and reward the soldiers with gold and silver women, it had no good effect.
After seeing Sun Ru's head, the Huainan soldiers in the city seemed to have lost their spirits.
From the captain to the soldier, everyone had other thoughts in their minds.
Amidst the worries of these Huainan soldiers, their hearts were pounding.
Light rain fell one after another.
When the drizzle stopped, the dull sound of horns began to sound in the distance.
Woohoo!
On the distant horizon, a black line quickly appeared, and then the black line gradually turned into a dense military formation, with the blades of swords and guns standing up, reflecting the brilliance of the sky.
"Sihongjun!"
The remaining generals in the city also climbed to the top of the city, looking at the orderly formation in the distance, as if the torrent that could sweep everything was crushing towards them.
In the military formation, there is a high platform that can be pushed. There were several people standing on it, pointing towards Wanshou City.
After a while.
With the sound of a drum, soldiers all over the land stopped and gathered into a roar like thunder.
I saw a gap opening in the formation, and a general ran out of it.
"Sun Ru is dead. If the generals in the city don't open the city and surrender, how long will it take?"
The Huainan soldiers on the city wall looked and saw that this man was Qin Yanhui, the deputy general who followed Li Qiong to attack East Lake.
"Qin Yanhui, he also surrendered? Where is Li Qiong?"
Several captains were a little shocked.
Qin Yanhui is Li Qiong's deputy general. Now that Qin Yanhui has come to the city to persuade him to surrender, it can be seen that Li Qiong's troops can no longer be counted on.
"Qin Yanhui, you beast, Jiedu is not kind to you, but you actually betrayed Jiedu!"
The general who was left behind at the top of the city roared angrily.
Qin Yanhui's face showed a sneer, and he didn't waste any time talking to the other party. He just shouted: "If you are stubborn, you will bear the consequences after the city is broken!"
After saying that, he returned directly to the formation.
On the high platform of the Chinese army, Wang Jing was wearing iron armor, surrounded by Bu Zhi, Zhu Wu, Mu Chun, Chen Da, Li Qiong and others.
After defeating the Huainan Army.
谷/span Wang Jing immediately sent people to Sihong and asked Shen Yi to take the remaining recruits to Luanshi Mountain. He first cleared the battlefield and strangled the defeated troops who fled around.
After briefly dealing with the prisoners in Rock Rock Mountain and the surrounding situation.
Wang Jing led 6,000 soldiers and 6,000 guardsmen, marched slowly towards East Lake, and successfully recruited Li Qiong's troops.
He left Mai Tiezhang behind and asked the other party to organize troops and horses in East Lake with Li Qiong, and personally led the army to Wanshou.
"Siege the city!"
Seeing Qin Yanhui returning without success, Wang Jing looked calm. With a wave of his hand, Mu Chun and Chen Da accepted the order in unison.
The two men each took five hundred elite soldiers, set up ladders and crashed cars, and launched an attack on Wanshou.
"kill!"
Mu Chun and Chen Da roared, wearing armor and holding swords, they came first. Arouse the enthusiasm of the soldiers under his command.
The two of them were serving under Mai Tiezhang these days, constantly fighting against Li Qiong and Qin Yanhui, and gradually transformed from bandits into real military lieutenant generals.
The core of the soldiers under their command were Qing Zhuang and the remnants of Yuan's army who had escaped from Wanshou.
Very hatred for the Huainan Army.
Now that they are attacking Wanshou City, they have used all their strength to let the remaining Huainan soldiers in the city know how powerful they are.
No surprises.
The morale of the Huainan soldiers in Wanshou City was low. They were not willing to follow the left-behind generals to seek death. When Mu Chun and Chen Da launched their attack, there was a commotion on the top of the city.
The Sihong army directly attacked the city and encountered very slight obstruction.
boom!
A burst of cheers soon came from the top of the city. Chen Da held a knife in one hand and raised the head of the remaining general in the other. After a moment, the gate of Wanshou City suddenly opened.
Zhu Wu and Li Qiong each led people inside first and sealed up the treasury in the city.
Wang Jing stayed in the military camp outside. The generals under his command led people to clean up the corpses and garbage in the city. It took three days to complete the removal of the bones in the city.
The city, which originally had more than 100,000 inhabitants, experienced a war and became dilapidated.
There were only 10,000 or 20,000 people left in the city.
"There are only less than 30,000 people left out of more than 100,000 people. Sun Ru is really doing a lot of harm to people!"
After Wang Jing got the news, he couldn't help gritting his teeth.
"Sun Ru deserves to die, but the soldiers of the Huainan Army are all elite veterans! If the Lord can successfully integrate the Huainan Army, it will be easy to conquer all directions with such elites!"
In the camp, Wang Jing, Zhu Wu and Bu Zhi were talking.
Bu Zhi couldn't help but suggested.
He personally experienced the bravery of Huainan soldiers in Luanshi Mountain and was deeply impressed by them.
This kind of elite soldier can be a sharp blade if used well.
However, Wang Jing did not dare to treat the soldiers of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties as confidants. The soldiers and generals of the Five Dynasties period were unruly and unruly. From generals to soldiers, they would mutiny and kill the generals at every turn.
If it is not handled properly, this kind of thing might happen again under Wang Jing's command in the future.
"Put aside your future strategies!"
"The most important thing now is to reorganize the Huainan Army and completely swallow it up, as well as the hundreds of thousands of people in Quy Nhon and the strong men who were forcibly recruited by the Huainan Army... these must be dealt with as soon as possible!"
When Wang Jing said this, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.
After defeating the Huainan Army.
What he has to do is to recuperate and unify the forces under his command as soon as possible.
Organizing households and people, reorganizing troops and horses, sorting out civil affairs... these all need to be dealt with slowly. Shen Yi and Bu Zhao can help solve some trivial matters.
But there are still many things that need to be handled by Wang Jing personally.
Zhu Wu suddenly said at this time: "My lord has forgotten something very important... My lord needs to marry a wife and have children as soon as possible! If you don't want to marry a wife, you must first take a concubine!"
"When my lord has a child, our Sihong army will be truly stable!"
