1398 Heavenly Soldiers
The result of the Tuhe battle was very clear. The three thousand cavalrymen brought by Murong Zun were killed directly by the king's army on the front battlefield.
Such a casualty number is naturally nothing compared to the war in the Central Plains where thousands of beheadings are often considered.
However, the situation in Liao terrain is different from that of the Central Plains. The one-time investment of 3,000 soldiers can almost determine the survival, decline of a large tribe.
Moreover, although the Murong tribe claimed that it had been a long time in the Chinese tradition and had many tribes, if it were specific to the military affairs of the army, it still followed the tribal habits of its early years. Murong Li and his son had great ambitions, so they would not allow too many Jin people to intervene in the construction of the army, and it would not be enough to form a corps structure like the Chinese dynasty.
The hundreds of people who died on the battlefield were all brave elites of the tribe, and they also supported the skeleton of the entire team. Their death means that the combat effectiveness of the entire team is lost. Even if the defeated soldiers are gathered and then reorganized, because the original structure of the tribe is lost, the combat effectiveness will decline greatly and become ordinary chaotic soldiers.
What's more, although the king's army was limited to insufficient troops and power, and after defeating the enemy head-on, it did not continue to pursue the enemy, but Murong Jiang, Murong Ping and other Murong tribes pursued each other with great success. In the end, Murong Zun led less than 500 soldiers to evacuate the battlefield in a hurry and fled back to Zimengchuan in a panic.
"Cheer, it's really cool! The stupid dog is so brave that he dares to directly offend the power of the king's army. He is really seeking death! It's just a pity that he can't be killed here..."
After the pursuit, Murong Ping looked excited and looked at the direction where Murong Zun's remaining troops fled, and said regretfully.
Murong Jiang came up on the other side. Hearing Murong Ping's sigh, he also said, "There are still many stupid people, so be sure to be safe, and you should not pursue them from a long distance."
After the pursuit, the two of them conquered their troops and picked up Murong Zun's abandoned weapons and staff along the way. The defeated soldiers couldn't help but smile even more.
The Murong family in Liaodong itself has a weak relationship, especially since it was passed down to the Murong Huang generation. They are more cautious about their peers and are extremely harsh, which directly led to the long-term division of the Murong tribe.
Although Murong Ping is also Murong Ling's son, because he is too young and has become a climate of older brothers, the power he truly inherited from his father can be said to be very small.
When he got on Murong Huang, the legitimate brother who was very careful about his brother, was in a very difficult situation in his early years. Even a true hero like his elder brother Murong Han was suppressed by Murong Huang and was depressed. The status of a young man like him in the clan was even more pitiful. It was not because he had been to travel to the South for many years and received a lot of benefits to attract some of his own strength.
Murong Zun is considered to be Murong Ping's nephew, but he never takes Murong Ping seriously. Just because the tribe split again this time, Murong Zun has controlled tens of thousands of people, but Murong Ping can only follow the envoy of Jin as a lackey. The difference in power and status between each other can be seen.
So this time Murong Zun was defeated by Tuhe, and Murong Ping was not sad at all, and he was not as sad as the dead rabbit and the fox was beaten to the water. He felt that he was extremely wise, so he followed the steps of the southern country early on, and even did not hesitate to anger his deceased brother Murong Huang. Now he can be regarded as guarding the clouds and seeing the moon bright.
They returned to Tuhe Camp and collected nearly a thousand war horses along the way. Although these people were completely brave and lost all their equipment, they were all truly strong soldiers without exception, which was also a considerable wealth in the Liao border.
When they returned to the camp, the soldiers of the royal army who were left here had already cleaned the battlefield. The defeated soldiers had no master war horses in one place, and the bodies were piled up high into a small hill, but the disgustingly bloody smell could not be dissipated for a while.
At this moment, the soldiers of the royal army were either in an array to guard the camp, or repairing the previously damaged walls in an orderly manner, but did not reveal much joy of winning the battle. It seemed that this was just a matter of course and extraordinary.
Seeing this scene, Murong Jiang and Murong Ping looked at each other, and a hint of awesome and rich palpitations emerged from their respective eyes.
Although they have heard of all kinds of great fortunes in China, they are false after all and rumors cannot be believed. Especially before, the king's army has never fought on the Liao border. The envoy Wen Hongzu appeared more like a noble family. Earlier, Murong Feng was playing with his palms, and he was not free in his palms. He had to rely on their protection to ensure safety.
So in their minds, they just felt that the Southern Kingdom Travel Taiwan was only strong because it occupied a prosperous China. When it comes to the combat effectiveness of the real soldiers, the Liao border warriors may not be much inferior. After all, they are all flesh and blood, and they also have the home advantage of the Liao border. Because it was in the past when it came to the exchanges between Wen Fangzhi and others, they also had psychological advantages.
But this time they saw with their own eyes the real combat power of the Southern Kings Division, which was only stronger than rumors. When they faced their elite troops in Murong's division, they were not just suppressing, but simply slaughtered. They were not a mighty person, and the strength of the Kings Division's combat power was beyond their imagination. They didn't know what elite troops could be the opponent of the Kings Division!
"In previous years, I only felt that Ji Long, the master of Jie, was famous for his reputation and was repeatedly defeated by the Liao border, but his reputation was not worthy of his reputation. Now I personally saw that the royal army is so majestic, Ji Long can still last for several years, which shows that he is really talented under his reputation. Such a strong army can only be intimate, but he cannot be an enemy..."
These people muttered in their hearts, but then felt a little happy in their hearts. They didn't feel embarrassed about this idea. Compared to Murong Xian's dead ghost who insisted on following Shi Jilong, the defeated general under the Southern Kingdom, they respected the Xingtai to be the real way of the world!
After returning to the camp, several people quickly reported the pursuit to Wen Fangzhi, and reluctantly presented all the prisoners of war, and did not dare to leave their own private matters. They were previously afraid of Murong Zun coming and led the crowd out of the camp to watch. They were not very authentic, and at this moment they dared to make any private plans under the noses of these killing gods.
Wen Fangzhi was still quite satisfied with the change in attitudes of Murong Jiang and others. Although both sides had a deep foundation for interest alliances, Bian Hu was cunning. If he could not show his arms and fangs, it would be difficult to completely shock these Bailiu. Although the battle in Tuhe was not large in scale, it was enough to shock the goods in front of him.
He no longer cared about the previous timid behavior of these people, and officially appointed them as the chief lieutenant in the name of the Youzhou Governor's Mansion.
People can use their talents and things to their fullest. Although these scum of Murong tribes are useless on the battlefield, they also have their own useful places. As the relatives of Murong tribes, their identity is still quite shocking to the surrounding Donghu tribes. Although the Youzhou Governor's Mansion has initially had the ability to protect itself, it is naturally impossible to bother those elite soldiers of the royal army when dealing with common affairs. They still have to rely on these people to recruit people to recruit and recruit soldiers.
After this battle, Murong Zun must have suffered too much and dared not touch the power of the tiger again, because Wen Fangzhi planned to take advantage of the situation to operate the Tuhe base.
Murong Jiang and others took the order issued by Liu Qun in the name of the governor of Youzhou. After the military talisman, they all felt as if they had treasures.
Although the governor's office is still shabby and they don't know how powerful the chief lieutenant is, this is an official position recognized by the Southern Kingdom Xingtai, and it is an appointment with a strong army like a heavenly soldier descending to earth. This distinguishes them from the thieves and Hu people in the Liao border, and is very happy.
After that, these people took their own orders and led their troops to sweep the surroundings with Tuhe as the center, drove the small Donghu tribes scattered in the mountains to Tuhe, and began to join the construction of Tuhe.
As for the majestic posture of the king's army in Tuhe, it spread rapidly to the Liao border through their respective mouths. Many people knew that the Southern King's army entered the Liao border with strong force, and Murong Zun's tens of thousands of powerful troops were like local chickens and tiles, which were vulnerable.
With enough manpower, the Tuhe stronghold was built in full swing. After Duan Lan in western Liaoning learned about the battle process and the result of Tuhe, he did not dare to neglect Wen Fangzhi's orders. He began to invest in the construction of Qinhuangdao with his tribe and informed the process in real time. Of course, Wen Fangzhi was not relieved to submit all matters to the Hu tribe. At present, Duan tribe is just not strong enough. Once it grows stronger, it will not be more trustworthy than Murong tribe, so he sent some old people from Ma Shijin to Qinhuangdao to guide the construction.
A few days later, the battle of Tuhe River, Yang Wu, who had rushed to Dadaji City, finally arrived at this place.
"I was also relieved when I learned that Liu Gong had escaped from the straitors. When I heard that the king's army had defeated Murong Zun's thief army on a special trip, I was even more happy. We were in a desperate situation and we were in trouble. We had no way to rely on each other for a long time. We were very happy to see the king's army..."
After arriving at Tuhe Camp, Yang Wu did not dare to act anymore. He walked forward to worship, and his old face was filled with a diligent smile.
In fact, according to the original itinerary, Yang Wu should have arrived at Tuhe several days in advance, but Murong Zun's troops advanced too quickly and occupied Zimeng River, which made him quite obstructive. In addition, he heard that Murong Zun sent troops to attack Tuhe River on the way, so he was also interested in waiting and watching, because it was only a while later.
Yang Wu was also surprised at the moment. The battle between Tuhe had already indicated that the King of Xingtai entered Liao, Wen Fangzhi and others had enough self-protection power, and the results of the battle were brilliant, making it difficult to understand how much power they had mastered now, and they could no longer be regarded as the old style.
As for joy, it was that Murong Zun and the Taiwan Envoy broke out in a direct conflict, and the two sides no longer had any basis for cooperation, which should make the purpose of his trip more conveniently.
Moreover, when Wen Fangzhi and others were able to reverse their situation, Yang Wu also played an important role in it. If he had not privately incited Murong Ye to kill his father in chaos, if Murong Ye was still in the world, Wen Fangzhi and others would have been unable to get rid of control so easily.
So Yang Wu was feeling a little relaxed when she came to Tuhe.
