Chapter 372 Tang Niu's Defeat
In fact, from the moment he entered the minefield, Tang Niu felt something was wrong.
Mei Xu then led his troops to forcibly break through the minefield, and was bombed by grenades outside the city, with heavy casualties.
Although they successfully entered the city of Huajun and even broke through the inner city gate, the Chinese soldiers did not retreat at all. There were sounds of mountains crying in the city. Those who didn't know would think that a million troops had appeared.
Realizing that Mei Xu was in trouble, Tang Niu immediately led his troops to rescue him and rushed into the city.
When he found Mei Xu, he was retreating from the inner city gate with his generals. When he saw Tang Niu, he quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, countless people of Huajun appear in the city to assist the enemy in defending the city. Retreat quickly!"
"Let's go!" Tang Niu immediately took Mei Xu and led the soldiers to turn the direction. He braved the rain of arrows from Liang Teng and Mi Yan's soldiers on both sides of the city walls, and escaped from the city hard.
Liang Teng and Mi Yan did not chase after him, but just intercepted the fallen generals of Zhou Guo.
In this battle, more than 5,000 people were killed or injured in Zhou State, and nearly 10,000 soldiers were captured.
After Tang Niu led his troops to escape, although he was unwilling to give up, he knew that he was defeated too badly and would be done if he didn't leave!
So he led his troops back to the same route with Miao Ji, Mei Xu and other escaped generals and moved towards the wasteland overnight.
When he came, he was full of energy and was full of momentum. At this moment, only a dozen generals and 20,000 remaining soldiers were left.
Tang Niu finally realized how good it would be to follow Mei Xu’s advice at that time?
People always regret it afterwards, but they don’t know that there is no regret medicine in the world.
On the cold night, walking on the lonely road, Tang Niu's face was full of depressedness.
Seeing his appearance, Mei Xu knew that the blow caused by this crushing defeat was too great, so he rode a horse and whispered: "Your Majesty, victory and defeat are common in military affairs! This time, he despised Huajun and thought that Ningze was not there, and the main force of China could easily seize it. Furthermore, the enemy has many strange weapons that were unheard of, and there were wise men in the city. Whether it was contempt for the enemy or the loss of intelligence, it was the key to defeat! As long as you learn from the lesson, you will definitely win!"
Seeing him coming to comfort him, Tang Niu remembered that he had not listened to advice twice before, so he said, "It's all my fault that I just acted on my own and did not listen to the Prime Minister's advice."
"It's over, so I should return to Bianzhou as soon as possible!"
Tang Niu led his army to evacuate, and Huajun still guarded the city for safety reasons and did not go out to pursue it.
Besides, the night vision is limited, who knows where the Tangniu army is now?
The victory in this battle also caused many casualties.
Some were injured by enemy arrows during battle, while others were caused by ignited leads when using grenades, and suddenly they quickly spread out. They exploded in their hands before they could throw them. The user died on the spot, and even affected teammates around them.
Researchers said that this weapon has safety hazards and is not perfected, and it is indeed not lying.
Of course, compared to this great victory, some personnel injuries are acceptable.
Liu Yuanxiang ordered the soldiers who died in this battle to pay tribute to their families. The injured were rewarded with heavy rewards and arranged for military medical treatment. Those with severe injuries were rewarded with real estate, land and a large amount of gold and silver to make their lives worry-free.
After Liu Yuanxiang mobilized this war, more than 100,000 people spontaneously assisted in defending the city, but they were recruited temporarily. After the war, many people rushed over and asked where they needed help.
Liu Yuanxiang's name of benevolence and righteousness is indeed easy to use. Even if Mei Xu really leads his troops into the city, he will be embarrassed by the siege of more than 100,000 people.
In this battle, a large number of Zhou generals and soldiers were captured, nearly half of whom were willing to surrender.
After the war, Chinese soldiers repaired the city gates all night with the assistance of the people and consolidated the city defense.
Until the next day, the scout took off on a hot air balloon and used a telescope to report that the Zhou army had left the Huajun area and retreated through the wasteland.
Liu Yuanxiang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Tang Niu retreated, the crisis in Huajun would be resolved, so everyone would no longer have to worry.
However, this incident also reminded her that the wasteland is not 100% safe, and checkpoints must be set up at the border to avoid the same thing happening again.
The civil and military officials who participated in this battle were rewarded for their merits and merits. All surrendered Zhou generals arranged residences and appointed positions, and were rewarded for them.
When reinforcements from the surrounding counties arrived, they found that the Zhou army had evacuated and came a little slow.
The news that Tang Niu bypassed the wasteland and attacked Hua County in a surprise defeat and fled soon reached the front line.
Sima Fa was a little surprised. In his opinion, Tang Niu seized a good opportunity this time to launch a surprise attack on Hua County across the wasteland. It is logical that he could catch the opponent off guard. If he had led his troops, he might have occupied Hua County and captured Emperor Yuanxi and the ministers of Hua State.
It’s such a great opportunity to destroy the country!
From here we can see that the Zhou Kingdom notified by Tang Niu is too weak and disappointing!
Today, the most powerful China country is quite threatening to Zhou, Liang and Nancheng. It is in an absolute advantage in front of the Three Kingdoms.
I really didn't expect that Princess Yuanxi, who was the least optimistic before, could reach this level. Everything was because of Ning Ze, who came out of nowhere.
Now, he is right in front of him, but I heard that he personally led his troops to seize the two counties of Xizhou in the south.
Where did this person come from?
On Xizhou, Ning Ze also received an emergency news that the Zhou army suddenly appeared around Hua County. It turned out that Tang Niu led his troops across the wasteland to launch a surprise attack.
He also found it incredible that the wasteland could cross the road.
In desperation, he quickly arranged local defense and rushed back.
Before leaving Qingshan County, he was sent by Feige again, saying that the Tang Niu Army was defeated and retreated in a hurry.
Huajun city was successfully defended and a large number of Zhou soldiers were captured.
This made Ning Ze feel relieved. Chu Xun, Chu Meiren, and the father and daughter of Chu are not vegetarians. Although Liang Teng is a little indecisive, he is not vague in fighting. Mi Yan's skills are also good. With a lot of modern new equipment and weapons, he has achieved this great victory.
The explosion crossbow and mines did not even pass the safety test and used up the grenade, and all of them were used up, Ning Ze felt it was acceptable. These things were created to defeat the enemy.
Later, I received a secret letter from Liu Yuanxiang, explaining the whole matter in detail, including the construction of a checkpoint on the Huajun border near the wasteland.
Ning Ze immediately replied that the wasteland really needs to be more vigilant in case such a thing happens again.
Since Huajun is fine, he doesn't have to rush back.
Tang Niu took advantage of his main force to go out to fight and sneaked around and attack Hua County. Ning Ze immediately decided to go north and mobilize some troops to attack Zhou State. You have taken the initiative, how can you not respond?
Just as I was about to set off, I suddenly received an urgent letter from Jiangzhou.
It turned out that Ma Jian suddenly led his troops to attack Bashan County, and was coming in full force.
The basal army of Bashan County was caught off guard and fell into trouble, so they asked for help from the surrounding areas.
After weighing the two, Ning Ze is ready to solve the closer problem first.
We can't ignore Jiangzhou and let it be occupied by Ma Jian.
So he turned around and rushed to Bashan County.
He met Zhong Jizhao's troops on the way, and he sent troops from Nanhai County to provide assistance and went to rescue Bashan.
When he met Ning Ze, Zhong Jizhao directly handed over the command of the army to his hands.
Zhong Jizhao brought 20,000 troops, and other reinforcements came one after another in the surrounding counties and counties.
Ning Ze was not polite, so he took over the 20,000 army and took Zhong Jizhao to start the war of Emperor Shi, and rushed to Bashan County.
Ma Jian's army had surrounded Bashan County, and the city gates on all sides were blocked and no one could get out.
At the same time, siege the city from all directions without giving the Bashan County guards a chance to breathe.
Ning Ze's army rushed to the battlefield and attacked the enemy directly at the North Gate. Under the state of the First Emperor's tactics, the Ma Jian's army panicked and retreated step by step.
The defenders in the city were overjoyed when they saw this and immediately opened the city gate and sent troops to form a cross-disaster attack with Ning Ze.
Ning Ze switched the magical doctor's tactics and treated the city's defenders, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness of this unit. After joining forces with him, he defeated the North Gate's Ma Jian's unit and fled in panic.
Ning Ze did not go directly to the city, but instead opened the First Emperor, quickly detoured the other three gates, and raided Ma Jian's army to help the basal army in Bashan County.
Although there are only 20,000 troops, the opponent's troops are several times more powerful than your own. The troops with the bonus of tactics run fast and fight very well. In addition, Ning Ze personally led the team, which caused great psychological pressure to the enemy and successfully rescued Bashan County.
Ma Jian was surprised by Ning Ze's sudden arrival, especially when the other party used "spells" to make the entire support soldiers come and go like the wind. All the soldiers were exaggerated as if they were injected with chicken blood. Seeing that the four troops were repelled, he hurried to discuss with Feng Qiao: "Ning Ze suddenly led his troops to support, how to deal with it?"
Feng Qiao thought about it and said to him: "Ning Ze is too mysterious, proficient in all kinds of spells. He is also very intelligent and has a good martial arts. Even Tang Niu can defeat him. When he confronts head-on, he doesn't know what kind of magic will be used. According to the intelligence, various ways of dealing with spells seem useless, so he needs to be cautious."
"Ning Ze is indeed strange. I heard that he is confronting Sima Fa in Mizhou, why does he appear in front of our army?" Ma Jian said, "Is it really a magic that is so powerful?"
"Ning Ze is indeed mysterious, he is still a human being!" Feng Qiao said, "I have a plan."
"What are the strategies?" Ma Jian asked hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, please withdraw your troops for the time being. No need to confront Ning Ze head-on. I will write a letter and invite the other party to the banquet tomorrow." Feng Qiao replied, "At that time, prepare poisoned wine and let him drink it while negotiating. Once Ning Ze dies, China will be without any threat!"
"Ning Ze dares to come to the banquet?" Ma Jian asked in confusion.
"A good-looking and brave, like him, will definitely come!" Feng Qiao replied, "Once he comes, even if the poisonous wine cannot kill him, he must arrange a knife and axe driver in advance and take the opportunity to kill him!"
"But Ning Ze's martial arts skills are not inferior to Tang Niu. He can be said to be the real number one general in the world!" Ma Jian was a little worried, "Can the sword and axe fight against it? Not to mention that he knows magic..."
"Even if the magic power is high, he is only an ordinary person. As long as he is a human, he can kill him!" Feng Qiao replied, "When the time comes, he will be fed with the most poisonous poison, no matter how powerful it is, it will be useless!"
"What if he brings his troops to come and doesn't want to eat poisoned wine?"
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. I will arrange everything!"
