Chapter 34: The Siege of Hedong


Wu Deli's army on the north road went smoothly and soon advanced to the edge of Guanluo River.

After receiving the news that 60,000 people from the Hedong Allied Forces had crossed the river, Wu Deli detached a force and went south to support Bai Zhengheng.

At the same time, he led troops to forcefully cross the Guanluo River.

After the Strength Sect occupied Hedong and Hexi, they quickly established a force of 40,000 to 50,000 people.

However, due to lack of adequate training, most armies are not actually very effective in combat.

The Hexi defenders defended the city and were unable to withstand the Iron-Blooded Army's attack.

The Hedong defenders, except for the Tianjia Army carefully established by Zhang Leng, also found it difficult to fight.

Because Zhang Leng wanted to directly confront the Jagged Army, he brought 20,000 elite troops with him.

These 20,000 elites indeed played a significant role in the battle against the iron-blooded warriors.

But just when Wei Zeng and Zhang Leng were rejoicing about their recent victory, the defense line north of Guanluo River was broken through by Wu Deli.

After receiving the news, Bai Zhengzheng gathered the supporting troops to pursue Wei Zeng and Zhang Leng, and ordered the troops from the south to continue to attack Guanluohe.

Wei Zeng and Zhang Leng hurriedly returned to Hedong.

While resisting Bai Zhenggong's attack, they organized troops to go north for support.

Sajiali led more than 10,000 people to station in Hedong.

After hearing the news that the Power Sect was in danger, she immediately went to provide support.

Sa Jiali has been helping Wei Zeng train his troops since the uprising, and has made great contributions in the fight against the Jingnan Army and the Iron Blood Army.

Now Sa Jiali has a very high reputation among the Yanbei Rebel Army.

Although Sajiali is a woman, the soldiers of Yanbei admire this female general who is good at fighting.

The army Sajiali led on this expedition was trained by her veterans of the Goddess Cult.

Their weapons, equipment, and marching and fighting all showed Yaodong style.

The elders of the Goddess Sect are bent on reviving the Goddess Sect, hoping to use Wei Zeng's power to reoccupy Yaodong.

Now that Sajiali is leading the army, she controls tens of thousands of troops, which makes these elders of the Goddess Cult even more happy.

They think that Miss Sa's husband is too generous, and it will not be a problem to recapture Yaodong in the future with the army in Miss Sa's hands.

Although they felt uncomfortable having the Valkyrie together with a married man, they didn't say much for the sake of the revival of the Goddess Cult.

Of course, the parties involved, Wei Zeng and Sa Jiali, didn't care what these people thought, as long as they were still willing to serve for the Yanbei Rebel Army.

Sajali wanted to be a free person.

Although it was hard to lead the troops in the war, Sajali felt a kind of happiness.

This is the joy of defeating a powerful enemy and winning; this is the joy of defending a paradise and maintaining peace; it is also the joy of galloping in the vast world with an unyielding heart.

The war is about to break out, but it's not just the land that's burning.

After Wu Deli's army broke through the Guanluo River defense line, they attacked the central city of the Hedong Power Sect.

As long as that city is removed, the entire Hedong will completely fall into the hands of the Iron Blood Army.

Faced with Wu Deli's attack, the soldiers of the Strength Sect were completely helpless and had no choice but to huddle in the main city of Hedong and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Wu Deli is an old Qin man from the north of Anyun.

The old Qin is brave and good at fighting, and kills the enemy on the battlefield regardless of life or death.

The 30,000 old Qin soldiers in the north are also a very powerful force of the Iron Blood Army.

It's just that with Di Xianlan's Anyun cavalry in the north and Bai Zhenggong's iron-blooded soldiers in the south, the name of the old Qin soldiers is not so resounding.

Wu Deli and Bai Zhengheng were originally dissatisfied with each other, but they developed feelings for each other through joint operations in Jiangnan.

In addition, they both wanted to surpass Di Xianlan, and over time they became sworn friends.

This battle in Hedong went surprisingly smoothly, and Udli decided not to give the enemy any chance to breathe.

After hearing the news that the Yanbei rebels came to support, Wu Deli decided to use the method of siege and reinforcements to consume the enemy's strength.

When a hundred thousand troops gathered, Yanbei could be wiped out in one fell swoop.

When Sajali's troops appeared not far to the east, a battle was about to begin.

"Who is coming from Yanbei this time, Wei Zeng or Gu Chayi?"

Wu Deli asked when he saw an army coming from a distance.

"General Qi, the leader of the army is a woman.

It is said that she is the Valkyrie of Yaodong.

Her name is Sajiali.

She has a very high reputation among the Yanbei rebels and is also a very important character."

"I have heard of the Valkyrie of Yaodong.

The Valkyrie of Yaodong was appointed by the imperial court.

In the past, she also represented the imperial court in educating people in Yaodong.

Why are there rebels now?

My father once went on a mission to Yaodong and was also The Valkyrie has met my father.

I personally said that although the Yaodong Valkyrie is a female, her martial arts and skills are stronger than many men.

The entire Yaodong is governed by the Valkyrie without any disobedience.

"Why is this happening now?"

Li said.

"I heard that something went wrong during the election of the Valkyries, and the Goddess Cult was overthrown by several gangs in Yaodong.

This Sa Jiali has some unclear relationship with the Yanbei rebel Wei Zeng.

After the Goddess Cult was destroyed, she has been If you follow Wei Zeng, you will naturally rebel with him."

"So that's it.

I thought the Yanbei rebels had the support of the Yaodong people.

That's all.

No matter Wei Zeng or any other Valkyrie, as long as they are met by Wu Deli, I will make sure they never come back."

After Udli finished speaking, he ordered the soldiers to send out troops to attack.

Wu Deli has 30,000 old Qin soldiers in his hands, 10,000 of whom have been ordered to go south to cooperate with Bai Zhengzheng in fighting.

Now there are only 20,000 people facing Sajiali.

The old Qin soldiers all had bows and arrows at their waists and long knives in their hands.

Facing the enemy, they just stared straight ahead.

It seemed that except for the enemy in front, there was nothing that could attract their attention.

After hearing the order to attack, they felt a kind of Bloodthirsty madness filled their bodies, as if they would explode if they couldn't kill the enemy with their swords.

Sajali arrived with only 10,000 people.

These 10,000 people were mainly infantry, with no cavalry and few archers.

The infantry detachments formed a formation, with a small distance between the infantry and a large distance between the detachments.

The infantry captain of each team has a flag behind his back, and every thousand people has a big flag.

During the charge, the soldiers looked at the captain's flag, and the captain looked at the thousand-man flag.

The thousand-man team divided and combined according to the orders of the Chinese army to cooperate in combat.

Sajali saw the enemy attacking and ordered her soldiers to seize a high ground in front to threaten the enemy's flanks.

Wu Deli was also a veteran on the battlefield, so he didn't know how to seize advantageous terrain.

Two thousand old Qin soldiers also attacked the high ground.

Sajali's army formed a sparse skirmish formation to prevent enemy bows and arrows from causing excessive casualties.

During the charge, the main flags gradually gathered in one place, and the formation became very dense as they approached the enemy's formation.

Everyone in Sajali's troops was armed with javelins.

When they approached the enemy, there was a volley of javelins, and then the soldiers rushed over with axes and shields.

The people of Lao Qin don't like to use shields, because their fighting style is to move forward bravely without avoiding life or death.

Before charging, the old Qin people took aim and shot with their bows and arrows.

They looked straight ahead, as if even if their heads were cut off, they could still shoot another arrow.

When they received the order to charge, they put away their bows and arrows.

He picked up the long knife with both hands, yelled and killed him.

Facing the javelins thrown by Sajiali's army, many charging Lao Qin people died on the way to the charge.

But after the battle between the two armies, the previous losses were recovered bit by bit.

In the process of fighting for the high ground, Wu Deli's two thousand old Qin soldiers rushed to the high ground first with their long knives.

Then they put their long knives under their feet, took out their bows and arrows and crouched on the ground, taking advantage of the terrain to kill the enemy.

Although the people sent by Sajiali failed to get to the high ground first, they were not far from the highest point.

When they saw the enemy starting to fire bows and arrows, the people in front threw their javelins, and then rushed forward to fight.

After several rounds of javelins, the old Qin soldiers on the high ground were caught off guard and were in danger of retreating in the face of the charging ax and shield soldiers.

At this moment, several rows of old Qin soldiers in the rear gave up shooting with bows and arrows, picked up their long knives and launched a countercharge towards the axe-shield soldiers who rushed up to the high ground.

The soldiers of the old Qin Dynasty were good at archery and could withstand hard battles.

They could shoot accurately from a distance and were not afraid of death or risking their lives in close combat.

There was a fight, and the axe-shield soldiers who rushed up were beaten back step by step.

If this was the case, then this highland would not be able to escape the hands of the Iron-Blooded Army, but Sajiali also had an ambush.

After the ax shield soldiers, there are soldiers holding two-handed axes.

These soldiers have high attack power but poor defense.

They are good at overcoming difficulties, but they are also a unit prone to heavy losses on the way forward.

When the soldiers holding two-handed axes rushed up, the ax shield soldiers began to take a defensive position, using their shields to prevent the enemy from attacking, giving all the opportunity to attack to those holding two-handed axes.

This is a tactic used by Sa Jiali based on the tactics of the Yaodong barbarians, and she also practices it many times in daily life.

Although the old Qin soldiers fought bravely, they were blocked by axe-shield soldiers and killed by enemies holding two-handed axes.

They were soon driven off the high ground.

Seeing that the high ground was occupied, Sajali sent all the crossbowmen there.

Occupying the high ground, the crossbowmen overlooked the entire scene, and the power of their crossbows was greatly increased by taking advantage of the terrain.

Seeing that the high ground had been taken, Udli saw that the morale of the enemy troops on the frontal battlefield was greatly boosted, and the casualties of his own army also began to increase, so he organized his troops to retake the high ground.

However, the old Qin soldiers who captured the high ground suffered heavy losses under the attack of javelins and arrows.

Even if they rushed to the high ground, they were quickly repelled by the ax shield soldiers and two-handed ax soldiers.

Finally, Udli gave up his plan to annihilate Sajiali's reinforcements and ordered his soldiers to retreat and wait for the opportunity to attack again.

"Miss Sa won the battle, and the reputation of the Valkyrie resounded throughout the Central Plains.

Even the most elite iron-blooded army is no match for Miss Sa, not to mention those Yaodong gangsters.

There is hope for the revival of our Goddess Sect."

One person said excitedly.

"You're done or not.

As soon as you find the opportunity, talk about reviving the Goddess Cult.

Can't I do anything else besides reviving the Goddess Cult?

The top priority now is to defeat the powerful enemy and protect Yanbei.

The enemy just retreated, and the only way is to completely defeat them.

Only then can it be considered a victory," Sajali replied.

Although Sajali was very happy after defeating her enemies, these people always mentioned that the revival of the Goddess Cult made her feel uncomfortable.

Sajali naturally has feelings for the Goddess Cult, but the Goddess Cult has perished, and Sajali has accepted this reality.

Sajali now just wants to be her own Sajali.

She just wanted to know what it felt like to exert herself to the fullest, and now that she felt endless joy, she didn't want to taste the feeling of being restrained again.

"Yes, yes, I am overjoyed.

Yanbei and Yaodong are one, and General Wei's territory is naturally the territory of our Goddess Cult.

We should protect Yanbei first, and then plot against Yaodong.

In order to protect Yanbei, we I will do my best," the remaining elders of the Goddess Sect said one after another.

The goddess taught that these people did not understand her thoughts at all, so she said nothing more.

Now that she can control her own destiny, she doesn't have to worry about things
