Chapter 98: The Great General of the Mandate of Heaven(1/2)
In the town of Qing Dynasty, fires surged into the sky. Deng Ai took advantage of Huang Taiji's absence and led the Changshui Hu cavalry with Zhao Guang, drove straight into the sky, broke through four arrow towers, and fought with the Qing army in the streets and alleys.
In order to attack Xia Town, Huang Taiji took away the main force of the Qing army, and only five hundred Qing troops were left in Daqing Town.
Deng Ai and Zhao Guang advanced very quickly, leading three hundred long water Hu cavalry and two hundred light cavalry to rush around in the town of Daqing.
Moreover, Feng Yi was recruiting 1,000 surrendered soldiers and carrying more than 2,000 troops and horses, and was advancing towards the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, it depends on which is faster than Feng Yi or Huang Taiji.
The Eight Banners Niulu, who was guarding Daqing Town, had blood on his face and killed a Changshui Hu cavalry under his horse.
"If Master Beile doesn't come back, the town will be lost!"
This Eight Banners Niu Lu was also unlucky and was left to guard his family by Huang Taiji. As a result, he met Deng Ai, who was good at surprise attacks, and was directly attacked by Deng Ai and turned into street fighting.
Zhao Guang discovered the Eight Banners Niulu, who was guarding the county government, and came on a horse!
The red tassel speared out the rain of arrows, Zhao Guang stepped on the saddle, and he jumped over the wall of the county government and rushed into the yard, like a magic weapon falling from the sky!
The dozens of Qing soldiers trapped in the county government failed to react, and Zhao Guanghong turned around and killed several Qing soldiers in succession!
The cavalry under Zhao Guang took the opportunity to break through the wooden gate of the county government and kill all the defenders!
The Eight Banners Niu Lu was pierced through the throat by Zhao Guang with a red tassel gun and nailed to death in the county hall lobby!
Feng Yi led his troops to Daqing Town. Deng Ai and Zhao Guang had occupied the county government and there were only sporadic battles.
"Snatch the city walls and arrow towers!"
After Feng Yi controlled Qingzhen, he occupied the dangerous terrain to prevent Huang Taiji from robbing Qingzhen after returning to the army.
Huang Taiji is being hunted by Mulan and Zhao Ponu.
Mulan's Iron Eagle Scout has been tracking Huang Taiji's whereabouts. Huang Taiji was unable to bear the disturbance and could not return to Qingzhen quickly, so that Qingzhen was captured by Feng Yi and Deng Ai.
"Master Beller, the town has been lost, we are finished!"
A team of Eight Banners cavalry was defeated from Qingzhen and joined Huang Taiji.
"It's a waste of effort, it's a waste of effort!"
"We retreat east!"
Huang Taiji knew that he had lost the most important territory and was unable to fight Zhang Hua again, so he led him into the territory of Prince Fusu.
However, Huang Taiji's target was not Prince Fusu.
Wang Li and Su Jiao of the Great Wall Legion stayed at Qin Town, with a force of about 5,000. Huang Taiji was unable to capture Qin Town in a short period of time.
A war eagle fell on Mulan's arm, and Mulan showed a surprised expression: "Young Master, Huang Taiji led his troops to escape into the territory of Prince Fusu."
Zhang Hua and Chen Gong were all surprised.
Zhang Hua calculated that Huang Taiji might retreat after defeating Huang Taiji.
According to Zhang Hua and Chen Gong's estimates, Huang Taiji is most likely to surrender to Jin Wushu.
However, Huang Taiji's retreat was the territory of Prince Fusu, which was beyond Zhang Hua's expectations.
Chen Gong began to speculate on all possible situations: "Young Master Fusu has never appeared and meets us. Could it be that Young Master Fusu and Huang Taiji have a secret deal?"
Zhang Hua shook his head.
He did not believe that Qin Shihuang's eldest son and the arrogant Meng Tian would have a secret deal with Huang Taiji.
Gongzi Fusu's weakness is that he pays attention to morality, while Meng Tian's weakness is that he is arrogant. With the characteristics of the two, the possibility of cooperating with Huang Taiji is too small.
Chen Gong also couldn't understand the reason: "Then unless Huang Taiji wants to leave the plain, he can escape east."
"No matter what, we will occupy Huang Taiji's territory."
Zhang Hua focuses on the benefits that can be obtained in front of him.
As long as he occupied Huang Taiji's territory, no matter what Huang Taiji's next goal was, Zhang Hua would be invincible.
In Qingzhen, Zhang Hua led his troops to come, and Feng Yi has firmly controlled the town.
Deng Ai and Zhao Guang welcomed Zhang Hua with his head held high and his chest held high.
Deng Ai and Zhao Guang defeated Liu Zhiyuan through a surprise attack, and then ran for dozens of miles to quickly capture Qingzhen.
They were the first to win the battle to defeat Huang Taiji.
Therefore, Deng Ai and Zhao Guang all held their heads with their heads raised.
"You have done a good job, and I will let you remember your credit."
Zhang Hua appeased Deng Ai and Zhao Guang.
The two cooperated with each other and actually achieved good results.
And after several battles, the two of them were brothers and sisters.
Zhang Hua came to Qingzhen to check the population of Qingzhen.
The Qing Town of Huang Taiji has a population of 11,000, which is almost the same as that of Xia Town.
"Split the troops to capture Yancun and other villages."
Zhang Hua knew to control Qingzhen and had not completely annexed the Huang Taiji forces.
There are dozens of villages below Qing Town. Only by actually controlling these villages can we completely digest the population of the Huang Taiji power.
Before Meng Tian went north to intercept Jin Wushu, he had already captured seven villages of Huang Taiji's power and obtained tens of thousands of people.
Zhang Hua sent Zhao Ponu to collect the salt village established by the salt merchant Zhang Shicheng.
There is a special resource point near Yancun - Yanchi.
Controlling salt ponds is equivalent to controlling nearby salt trade.
There is iron in Xia Town and salt in Yan Village. Zhang Hua also occupies two major strategic resources and has stronger economic strength.
Mulan, Zhong Shizhong, Ma Wu and other military generals led their troops to attack various villages.
When the village that originally surrendered to Huang Taiji saw the lord Huang Taiji fleeing, they all surrendered in the wind.
There are only rural brave men in these villages, so they can barely maintain public order and beware of bandits. When they encounter officers and soldiers, they are no match for them at all.
The villagers are satisfied as long as they live their own little life. No matter who the lord is, they will not care.
"Zhang Hua actually defeated Huang Taiji with his own strength? Incredible..."
Meng Tian was still confronting Jin Wushu, but suddenly received a detailed report placed in Qingzhen. Huang Taiji, who was attacking Xiazhen, was defeated by Zhang Hua's surprise attack on the town.
Meng Tian was stunned for a long time.
The Huang Taiji forces had Fan Wencheng, and the Wushu had Aobai, Yue Tuo, Zhang Shicheng, and Zhang Shide. Even Meng Tian was not sure to defeat Huang Taiji head-on.
However, Zhang Hua made a fuss to attack the west and gathered the two commanders Feng Yi and Deng Ai in Shizhen to attack Huang Taiji's territory and quickly defeated Huang Taiji, the overlord in the western part of the plain.
Fusu has not experienced such drastic changes, and I don’t know what to do next. He asked the experienced Meng Tian: “General Meng, since Huang Taiji was defeated by Zhang Hua, is it meaningless for us to continue to confront Jin Wushu?”
Meng Tian threw a look of praise at Fusu: "Young Master can think about the problem like this, and you have already entered the state. Since Huang Taiji has fled, his power has 50 villages, and there are no leaders. The young master only needs to send a captain to collect the villages adjacent to us and try his best to get the benefits. Otherwise, all the fifty villages will be taken away by Zhang Hua, and our power will be weaker than Xia Town."
"I see."
Young Master Fusu secretly admires Meng Tian’s insight.
Meng Tian had already made a countermeasure when he learned that Huang Taiji was defeated by Zhang Hua.
Meng Tian sent two Qin army commanders to lead 500 cavalry to occupy the villages bordering the Huang Taiji forces and the Gongzi Fusu forces.
"Yin Shuke, you will lead your troops to collect villages in the northern part of the Huang Taiji power."
Jin Wushu also learned that Zhang Hua defeated Huang Taiji. In addition to being shocked, he sent the Jurchen general Wanyan Yinshuke to capture the village where Huang Taiji bordered them.
A whale falls and all things are born.
When the Huang Taiji power collapsed, all forces rushed to divide his territory.
"Zhang Hua's power is already so powerful? Huang Taiji is a man with great skills and good at using troops. Even I am not sure of winning. How can Zhang Hua defeat Huang Taiji in such a short time?"
After Jin Wushu asked Yin Shuke to lead a thousand troops to seize the territory, he fell into deep thought.
Jin Wushu believed that he and Huang Taiji were at the same level, but Huang Taiji's defeat made Jin Wushu wonder whether he had the ability to defeat Zhang Hua.
Wanyan Zonghan said: "Zhang Hua sent Deng Ai to take Huang Taiji's rear by surprise. As long as we guard against Deng Ai, Zhang Hua will definitely not be able to defeat us."
"Yes, Deng Ai is good at surprise attacks, so he has to prepare."
Jin Wushu listed Deng Ai as the most dangerous general of Zhang Hua's power.
In frontal war, Deng Ai may not be as threatening as Feng Yi, but Deng Ai is elusive and good at surprise attacks. For various forces, Deng Ai's comprehensive threat is actually greater than Feng Yi.
Zhang Hua, Fusu, Jin Wushu, and three forces divided Huang Taiji's territory.
Zhang Hua occupied the most important Qingzhen and Yancun, the Huang Taiji power, and divided his troops to occupy various places. He obtained a total of 32 villages in one town and a population of 70,000.
Prince Fusu occupied eleven villages with a population of 20,000, while Jin Wushu divided seven villages with a population of 15,000.
After Zhang Hua obtained one town and thirty-two villages, his territory expanded to three towns, more than 70 villages, and a population of 150,000.
The Prince Fusu power originally had a population of 100,000, and obtained a population of 20,000, totaling 120,000.
