The Taiping Army's old and weak women and children defected, and the coalition army, which still had the strength to fight, collapsed.
Seeing that Wu Tianxi's heavy cavalry was besieged in the center by Huo Qu's department, the space was compressed smaller and smaller, and the annihilation of the whole army was inevitable, which made Zhou Yu's heart bleed.
This is the most elite army under Sun Ce's command, even if it is not an exaggeration to call it a trump card, but now it can no longer be brought back to Jingzhou.
"Withdrawal of troops" But Zhou Yu also understands the truth of constantly suffering from chaos, although a strong man's broken wrist will hurt people's vitality, but if he is ruthless, he will take his life if he doesn't get it right.
After getting Zhou Yu's order, Huang Gai led his troops to open the way in front, and after Han Dang and Wu Yun were summoned, Shamoke escorted Zhou Yu, led less than 20,000 troops, and quickly retreated in the direction of Chaling.
Before leaving, Zhou Yu did not forget Yang Xiuqing, and greeted loudly: "General Digong, the Taiping Army has gone, and I am afraid that Jiaozhou will not be able to go back, it is better to go to Jingzhou with me for temporary refuge, how about he make a comeback?"
The population of the entire Jiaozhou was only 1.45 million, and there were 6.7 million people who were coerced by Hong Yang to invade Yangzhou, and another 2.3 million people followed Wei Changhui and Li Xiucheng to attack Linyi.
The rest of the people were unwilling to follow the Taiping Army, and those who could escape fled, and it is no exaggeration to say that the current Jiaozhou has ten rooms and nine emptiness.
Moreover, Jiaozhou lacks Xiongguan Jiancheng, and in the case of boiling public resentment, Yang Xiuqing is almost sitting back in Jiaozhou.
"Alas, the matter has come to this, Xiuqing has no choice, I am willing to follow the governor to Jingzhou to temporarily avoid the edge of the Han army, and he will make a comeback" Yang Xiuqing Zhou Yu bowed his hand and agreed, and then passed the order, and the whole army followed Sun Cejun to retreat in the direction of Chaling.
The coalition army fought and left, Xu Huang, Qi Jiguang, Huang Zhong and others led their troops to follow and kill, and the corpses of the Taiping army behind the palace were all over the field, and the people who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy were countless.
Seeing that the main army had abandoned itself and gone away, the struggling Sun Cejun's heavy armored cavalry could only lay down his weapons and beg for mercy: "I am willing to surrender, please let me live" This heavy armored cavalry is a warrior of a hundred battles, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has good combat effectiveness.
Huo Qubing naturally would not refuse to accept it, and let Zhao Yun lead some of his men and horses to accept their surrender, while he and Yuwen Chengdu led the rest of his men and horses to the west to pursue the defeated army. galloped down all the way, and with excellent maneuverability, he continuously outflanked and captured more than 10,000 people along the way.
This battle lasted until dusk, Zhou Yu's infantry lost seven or eight thousand people, and the most elite heavy armored cavalry was wiped out, and more importantly, it also took the lives of the three brothers Wu Tianxi, Wu Kui, and Wu Liang, and the result was the total annihilation of Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army.
The 500,000 or 600,000 Taiping army collapsed after this battle, the great sage and good teacher Hong Xiuquan died in battle, nearly 50,000 were brave and bloody on the battlefield, and more than 50,000 were captured by the Han army or surrendered voluntarily.
There are only more than 40,000 Taiping Dao faithful believers who followed Yang Xiuqing and fled to Jingnan.
In addition to the strength of the Taiping Dao, the remaining nearly 300,000 old and weak women and children all surrendered to the imperial court, and Wang Shouren, the assassin of Jiaozhou, appointed by Liu Wei, registered and made a register for them, arranged a way for them to live, or returned to their hometowns, or moved to areas with fertile water and soil to cultivate and live in groups and build cities.
Xu Huang and Zhao Yun joined forces, while collecting and surrendering soldiers, rectifying military discipline, and incorporating all 50,000 surrendered troops into the Han army, and Qi Jiguang, Huo Quzhi, Huang Zhong, Lin Chong and others practiced every day, while sending envoys to Jinling to report to the Son of Heaven and ask for instructions on the next strategy.
After receiving the information of the great victory in Luling, Liu Wei immediately convened the civil and military ministers to discuss countermeasures.
Under the advice of Liu Bowen, Lu Su, and Di Renjie, Liu Wei formulated the next strategy for the Southern Army: ordered Zhennan General Xu Huang to lead Lin Chong and Lu Xiangsheng to march in the direction of Jiaozhou, sweep the rest of the Taiping Army, and cooperate with Wang Shouren, the assassin of Jiaozhou, to stabilize the entire Jiaozhou.
And strive to follow in the footsteps of Wei Changhui and Li Xiucheng, pacify all the Taiping army, and strive to include Lin Yiguo, that is, Vietnam before Liu Wei's crossing, into the territory of the Han Dynasty, expand the territory, and shelter the descendants.
Crowned Huo Qubing as the general of Zhichong, and served as the main general, leading Qi Jiguang, Huang Zhong, and Yuwen Chengdu to march westward, with the fledgling Lu Xun and Shiyi serving as the army, continuing to chase and beat Zhou Yu fiercely, and strive to win the entire Jingnan in one go.
Ordered Zhao Yun, Wei Chigong, and Wen Yang to lead some of the men and horses back to Jinling to prepare for the next military strategy, after all, the current Jinling City is empty.
He Qi and Zhou Yi were ordered to continue to sit in the area of Luling and Jian'an, and continue to suppress the remnants of the Shanyue tribe, so as not to resurgence again.
The holy decree of the Son of Heaven was sent to the Luling army at an expedited speed of 800 miles, and the emperor's grace was immense, and all the generals were added to the ranks, and each smiled and congratulated each other.
In addition to Huo Qubing being named General Zhichong, Yuwen Chengdu, Qi Jiguang, Wei Chigong and others were all awarded the title of Miscellaneous General, and Lu Xun, who had repeatedly contributed strange ideas, was also named General Pei and was awarded the title of Wailang of the Military Department.
After the reorganization of the soldiers, the strength of the Southern Army was expanded to 120,000.
Xu Huang, the general of Zhennan, and Wang Shouren, the assassin of Jiaozhou, led 40,000 troops, leading hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children who were coerced by the Taiping Road to Jiaozhou.
Huo Quzhi led Qi Jiguang, Huang Zhong, Yuwen Chengdu, and Lu Xun to lead 50,000 troops to march to Jingnan, with the goal of Guiyang.
Zhao Yun, Wen Yang, and Wei Chigong led 20,000 troops, and the squad returned to Jinling.
He Qi and Zhou Yi led 10,000 troops into the deep mountains and old forests, and continued to search, encircle, and suppress the remnants of Shanyue, striving to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of Shanyue, so as to avoid the resurgence of foreign rebellions.
Just when Yuwen Chengdu was overjoyed because of the seal, Liu Wei, who was handling government affairs in Qianyang Palace, received a system prompt again: "Dingdong congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 Yuwen Chengdu pleasure points, 10 Huo Qubing pleasure points, 9 He Qi pleasure points, and the Zhou Yi host currently has a total of 79 pleasure points, 38 hatred points, 400 resurrection points, and 11 resurrection fragments." ” "The pleasure point of Dingdong Yuwen Chengdu has caused the system to explode, and three people are randomly indiscriminate.
In addition, because the system has been upgraded to the highest level, even if the table is exploded, it will not cause the system to be paralyzed, which means that there will be no repair period after the table is exploded, and only random generals will be randomly entered. ” Liu Wei bowed slightly: "I know, immediately provide the list of explosive tables" "The system is about to provide the host with a list of explosive characters, although the system has been upgraded to the highest level, but it may not necessarily search for all the information of the explosive characters, and sometimes the host needs to analyze it himself."
"Dingdong's first explosive figure: Er Zhurong, a foreign general of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, commanded 93, 85 in force, 84 in intelligence, and 73 in politics.
Current location: Following Xiao Maha's march in Qingzhou, preparing to break through Li Jing's Yellow River defense line. ” "Dingdong's second explosive figure, the tyrant of the Northern and Southern Dynasties Shi X commanded 89, the military force was 94, the intelligence was 77, and the politics was 63.
Current location: Following Xiao Maha's march in Qingzhou, preparing to break through Li Jing's Yellow River defense line. ” "Dingdong's third explosive figure: the monarch of the Northern and Southern Dynasties is 90 in command, 83 in force, 88 in intelligence, and 86 in politics.
Current location: Following Xiao Maha's march in Qingzhou, preparing to forcibly break through Li Jing's defense line. ” "After the Dingdong is provided with this explosive character, the host will get a special privilege that can be specified and the individual ability is not less than 95, which can be used at any time."
After listening to the introduction of the system, Liu Wei couldn't help frowning secretly: "This guy actually gave Yuan Shao three famous generals of different races in one go, and he looks like his ability is not bad, and at this moment, he is actually following Xiao Maha to break through Li Jing's defense line."
It seems that Pharmacist Li is under a lot of pressure, I don't know if he can withstand it with the strength of the Qingzhou Corps."
"Well, there is Li Jing in command, Wang Meng is in charge of logistics scheduling, Chen Deng, Xu Shu, Zhao Kuangyin give advice, and Xue Rengui, Wei Yan, Tai Shici, Tian Zhen, Cheng Yanjin, Xu Sheng, Guan Sheng, Hua Rong and other generals to help, and more importantly, I have Da Gao Pet, Lu Wenlong and the little demon Yue Yun in Qingzhou, I think I should be able to hold these foreign generals" Liu Wei thought to himself in his heart, and then told Li Yuanfang: "Send more scouts to report the war in Qingzhou at any time, the big war is about to start, and I need to keep abreast of the battle situation at any time." t1706231537:
