The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"The general only needs to give the last general [-] soldiers and an artillery battalion, and the last general will take Dongxia City within half a month!" Shao Junguang pleaded confidently.

"General, General Shao's words are not unreasonable. You also give me [-] soldiers and an artillery battalion. If the last general dares to issue a military order, Xixia City will be captured within half a month!" road.

If you lead an army alone to capture the next city, then the credit is not small!

That's right, they asked for orders for military merit, and this military merit was right in front of them, and they didn't take it for nothing.

The fox tails of these two people were exposed, and the anxious horse scolded boldly and angrily: "These two bastards are really cunning, they snatched the two nearest Dongxia cities, Shangyanghou, give me fifty thousand troops, One artillery battalion, within a month, I will take Yuecheng and Licheng!"

Sejong, who was about to speak, scolded his mother in his heart, General Ma, your appetite is too big. If you want to take Yuecheng and Licheng in one go, leave the farthest Nanxia city for me?

Ruthless!

"General, give the last general [-] soldiers and an artillery battalion, and the last general will capture Nanxia City within fifty days!" Sejong hurriedly expressed his position, fearing that Ma would go back on his word, and would not even give him soup.

Regarding these four people, Du Changjing also couldn't laugh or cry, and knew that the four of them deliberately didn't mention the Shangqiu imperial capital, because they wanted to give him the credit for taking the imperial capital.

To be honest, Du Changjing is a little moved now.

"Shao Junguang, Xiao Xiong, and Ma Boldly pleaded for orders. The general agreed. Sejong's plea needs to be changed. Sejong will lead [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and ten artillery battalions directly under him to attack the imperial capital of Shangqiu and Nanxia city!" Du Changjing looked at the crowd with a smile on his face and said.

Ma Bold, Shao Junguang and Xiao Xiong stared at each other, Sejong also showed disbelief.

The general is not going to seize the power of the imperial capital?

"General, you are now second class..."

Du Changjing suddenly interrupted Sejong's words, "Ben will know, you are seeing that I am now the second waiter, and want to give this general the credit for seizing the imperial capital, so that I can be promoted to the first waiter as soon as possible. I am very pleased to have received my heart!"

"But I don't need to take the credit for taking the imperial capital, because you are all under my general's command. The cities you captured and the credit you have won will all be credited to this general. I will not take it personally, just It’s just that you will lose the word “Seize” in the history books, it has no effect on the promotion to the first waiting list, it doesn’t matter if you want it or not, anyway, as long as it is the city you captured, you will all be rewarded!”

Du Changjing is very clear that as long as he succeeds in destroying Xia this time, his promotion to the first waiting list is a certainty, because the battle against Yan has already accumulated a certain amount of military exploits for him, and there is no need to grab the credit of his subordinates. Commander-in-Chief, the highest general of the Xia Qin Army, credit is no longer based on how many enemies were killed and how many cities were captured, but on the basis of the final victory or defeat.

If you lose, you have nothing. If you win, he is Mie Xia's greatest hero!

Therefore, there is no need to go down with your subordinates to grab the merits of seizing the imperial capital. On the contrary, the merits of seizing the imperial capital will be of great help to them, and will leave a strong mark on their qualifications, which will have a huge impact on their future!

"Thank you General!" Sejong was moved to tears.

He knew very well how much credit he had for capturing the capital of Shangqiu, and it was this great credit that moved him so much!

Shao Junguang and Xiao Xiong were so envious, their eyes widened, and they all regretted that they expressed their opinions too quickly. If they were the last to express their opinions, wouldn't it be their own who won the imperial capital?

Thinking of this, the two wished to give themselves a knife.

There was an opportunity, but I didn't seize it!

Ma Bold is not so envious. He and Du Changjing are generals of the same nature. As long as Mi Xia succeeds, Du Changjing's No. [-] hero will be the No. [-] hero. The reason why he asked for orders to attack Yuecheng and Licheng is not Grabbing credit is simply not being idle.

"There is nothing to thank. If you really want to thank you, I will thank you with the good news. During the period when you led the army to attack, I would have been waiting for your good news in Beichang City. That's enough. If there is nothing else, you can go down and prepare Already!" Du Changjing said calmly and calmly.

"Then I'll go first, and Shangyanghou will wait for my good news, haha!" Ma boldly swaggered and left with a long smile, and Shao Junguang, Xiao Xiong, and Sejong also bowed and retired one after another.

After Ma Bold and others left, Du Changjing took a brush dipped in red water and drew several red arrows on the map of Daxia's territory. Each red arrow was the Qin army's offensive route, and each red arrow pointed Wherever they landed, they were all the targets of the Qin army's attack.

.....

the next day!The 28th year of Shengqin, May 27th!

At dawn, Sejong, the seventh-rank wing guard general, led [-] cavalry, [-] sword shield soldiers, and [-] artillery battalions directly under him. A total of [-] troops went south to attack the imperial capital of Shangqiu two hundred miles away and the southern city six hundred miles away. Xia Cheng!

General Xiao Xiong of the seventh rank Lingjiang led [-] cavalry, [-] spearmen, [-] crossbowmen, and a direct artillery battalion. A total of [-] troops marched southwest to attack Xixia City [-] miles away!

Seventh rank Chongnan General Shao Junguang led [-] cavalry, [-] crossbowmen, and a direct artillery battalion. A total of [-] troops marched southeast to attack Dongxia City [-] miles away!

From the third-rank Polu general Ma Daudao led [-] sword shield soldiers, [-] long spearmen, [-] crossbowmen, and a direct artillery battalion. A total of [-] troops marched southeast to attack Yuecheng, which was [-] miles away. Licheng, five hundred miles away.

PS: "Please book in full!"

Chapter 940 Defeat Zhao Longmen Qin Army Captures a Zhao City!

Shangyang Hou and the first rank hussar general Du Changjing led the remaining [-] cavalry and seven artillery battalions directly under them. A total of [-] troops stayed in Beixia City, waiting for Ma Daudao, Shao Junguang, Xiao Xiong, and Sejong. Good News from the General!

At the same time, the Great Zhao Dynasty, Tianyang County, and Jincheng!

Tianyang County, located in the northeast of the Great Zhao Dynasty, was the target of the Longmen Qin army's attack, and Jincheng was a border city, only three hundred miles away from Longmen Pass. After more than ten days, General Zhenbei Zhao Hua finally led his army to arrive. Under Jincheng!

Outside the North City Gate!

A hundred artillery positions composed of five directly subordinate artillery battalions are arranged [-] steps outside the city, and a hundred steps behind the artillery positions is the main force array of the [-] Qin Army. Eighteen with the Devil will be at the forefront.

Zhao Hua's way of doing things was the same as that of most Qin generals. When there was no suspense about the outcome, Zhao Hua sent people to the city to persuade him to surrender.

The county magistrate of Jincheng is a young man named Zhang Hu. He has served as the county magistrate for less than a year. It may be that he is young and vigorous, or that Zhao people have the will to defend the country to the death. Zhang Hu refuses to surrender without hesitation. shouted loudly:

"There are only [-] officials in Jincheng, and there are only more than [-] people in the city. The whole city is not even half of the Qin army. But whether it is officers, soldiers, or the people in the city, they swear to die and die with Jincheng. !"

As the voice fell, a large number of people emerged from the city tower. Some of them were dressed gorgeously, some were wearing patched coarse cloth, some were dignified and gentlemanly, some were skinny with yellow skin, and their weapons were also different. There were swords and knives. , There are kitchen knives, hoes and so on all kinds of weapons.

They belong to different classes of people, but their hearts are all the same at this moment, that is, to swear to the death to live with Jincheng, and each of them has the heart to die!

Facing such an answer, Zhao Hua only had two cold words: "Fire!"

He is no longer the hooded young general of the past. After experiencing the Northern Expedition to the desert and the capital Changjing forcing him to order the massacre of Hun women and children, he has already transformed into a cold-blooded general. He will not give up attacking just because the enemy is ordinary people!

"fire!"

"Boom! Boom!"

"boom"

With the order to fire the cannons, a hundred ugly cow-style cannons shook their bodies and roared at the city wall. Shells shot in the air and hit the city wall fiercely.

The sound of violent explosions was endless, and hot waves carried gravel and splashed around, mercilessly smashing into the crowd of the city tower, blood splashed everywhere, and the dark red blood stained the scorched city wall red, one after another incomplete The corpses lay on the ruins.

Under the continuous roar of the artillery positions of the Qin army, the north city wall was quickly reduced to a ruin covered by a sea of ​​flames. However, Zhao Hua did not stop there. With a single order, a hundred ugly cow-style artillery extended their barrels to attack the enemy. Covering bombardment in the city!

Not long after, the houses close to the city wall were torn apart by shells. Once the shells hit, the entire house would be razed to the ground. People hiding in the house were either killed on the spot, crushed to death by the collapsed house, or crushed to death by the collapsed house. The gravel pierced his chest.

In front of the Qin army's artillery, the so-called morale and fighting spirit became extremely fragile.

After [-] rounds of shelling and consuming [-] shells, Zhao Hua waved his sword and shouted loudly, ordering the whole army to charge.

"kill!"

"Come on!!"

The brave and fearless soldiers of the Qin army stepped across the ruins in front of them with weapons in hand, and began to occupy various areas of Jincheng.

Since Zhao Hua had never suffered from the Zhao people, he became the second person to suffer from the Zhao people after Luo Xing. The reason for the loss was naturally that the Zhao people pretended to be pitiful and won the sympathy of the soldiers of the Qin army, and then killed them with one blow. Although the method is simple, it is very vicious.

All of a sudden, the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, and three or four hundred soldiers died as a result.

Zhao Hua was furious and ordered the massacre of the city!

This can't be blamed on Zhao Hua's cruel heart, it was Zhao's own fault.

It's fine if you don't surrender, and you still play these despicable methods, so that the soldiers of the Qin army can't recognize whether they are enemies or friends. Only by massacring the city can all problems be solved. If you see one and kill another, there is no time for you to pretend to be pitiful.

This massacre lasted for two hours. The [-] Longmen Qin army slaughtered all the men, women, and children in the city, turning Jincheng into a ghost city. The people in this city must not be Zhao people!

The end of the massacre also means that Jincheng has completely fallen into the hands of the Qin army.

After capturing Jincheng, Zhao Hua chose to rest for a while, and he didn't have the idea of ​​dividing his troops. It was because the main force was not strong enough. If they divided up, the main force would be even smaller.

Forces, limit Zhao Hua's tactics!

At the same time that Zhao Hua captured Jincheng, Luo Xing, who had captured Beichang for many days, decided to divide his troops to attack the counties of Beichang County after discussions!

There are six counties under the jurisdiction of Beichang County, namely: Xiucheng, Dicheng, Shangchecheng, Beichangcheng, Huanancheng, and Guicheng!

Xiucheng is located in the east of Beichang County, more than 400 miles away from Beichang City. Dicheng is located in the southeast of Beichang County, more than 450 miles away from Beichang City. Shangche City is located in the south of Beichang County, close to the north bank of the Yellow River. The Huangjiang Cable Bridge is on the south bank of Shangche City, about [-] miles away from Beichang City.

Needless to say, Beichang City has already been captured. Huanan City is located in the west of Beichang County, more than [-] miles away from Beichang. Guicheng is located in the northwest of Beichang County, just a hundred miles north of Huanan City. The city is also only more than five hundred miles away.

The battle plan between the Hulao Army and the Prairie Army is as follows:

From the eighth-rank Xuanwei general Ye Qiong led 3 cavalry, 400 sword shield soldiers, and two artillery battalions directly under him. A total of 450 troops marched southeast to attack Xiucheng more than [-] miles away and Dili more than [-] miles away. city.

General Ninth Rank Anton General Ning Zhaosi led [-] spearmen, [-] crossbowmen, and three artillery battalions directly under his command. A total of [-] troops marched southward to attack Shangche City, which was more than [-] miles away.

Ai Qun, General Pingdong of the seventh rank, led 5 shield soldiers, [-] crossbowmen, [-] pikemen, [-] cavalry, and two artillery battalions directly under his command. Return to the city outside!

Eighth-rank Jianzhong General Sai Yinshanda and Eighth-rank Liyi General Wuerte led [-] cavalry of the Prairie Army and five artillery battalions directly under them. A total of [-] troops marched westward to attack South China, which was more than [-] miles away. city!

General Alukege, the fifth-rank general of Guyuan, personally led 5 grassland cavalry and two artillery battalions directly under him. A total of [-] troops marched westward to attack the two counties in the north of Donggu County to the west of Beichang County. The two northern counties are the two counties on the north bank of the Yellow River in Donggu County.

PS: "I'm worried about messing up the plot, so keep it simple and clear!"

Chapter 941 Yang Zhong Gives Up Artillery!

The initial goal of the Hulao Army and the Grassland Army was to capture the entire territory of Beichang County and the two counties on the north bank of the Yellow River in Donggu County!

Meanwhile, Luo Xing, the General of the Erpin Town Army, led the remaining 21 cavalry and [-] direct artillery battalions. A total of [-] troops were stationed in Beichang, waiting for the good news from all the troops!

Daqi Dynasty, Yong'an County, Sheng'an City!

Sheng'an City is a city of the same nature as Beichang City. It is a county town, and it is also close to the border. On the march, 30 Qin soldiers from Nanguan came to the city of Sheng'an.

Yang Long sent people to the city to shout and persuade the officials in the city to surrender. Qi officials differed from Zhao officials. After discussing with officials of all sizes in Sheng'an City, they decided to surrender to the Qin army. Capture the entire Sheng'an City in one fell swoop!

The officials of Yong'an County Sheriff's Mansion were also wiped out by the Qin army, and tens of thousands of people in the city also surrendered obediently without resistance.

After capturing Sheng'an City, Yang Long used Sheng'an City as the base camp for attacking Qi, and then broke up the army into pieces, and divided his troops into ten groups to cover the city and seize the territory, intending to capture the entire Yong'an County in the shortest possible time!

.....

Compared with the Qin Army at Nanguan Pass, the Qin Army at Tankou Pass was very quick. When the Qin Army at Nanguan captured Sheng'an City, the Qin Army at Tankou Pass had already captured two counties in Yumen County. Ga Luyue did not rely on artillery to break the city, but directly He sent cavalry to attack, and when the soldiers approached the city, they forced the people of Qi to surrender.

The people of Qi were not afraid of Qin for a day or two, not to mention that the Qin army was composed of the notorious Huns. Qi officials who were afraid of being massacred chose to surrender and did not dare to resist, so the Qin army at Tankouguan was invincible!

Since the outbreak of the all-out war, there have been a total of Qin-Xia Wars, Qin-Zhao Wars, Qin-Qi Wars, and Qin-Shu Wars. The first three have achieved results, while the latter is still marching hard in Shu, with a daily speed of only twenty miles. , and even forced to stop marching and rest every now and then.

The road to Shu is as difficult as going up to the blue sky!

Great Shu Dynasty, Shuxi County, Aoshan!

Shudong County is the eastern border county of the Shu Dynasty, Shuhe Tianxian is the gateway to Shudong County, and Aoshan is the name of the mountains hundreds of miles west of the Shuhe River.

"This road is too difficult!"

"This won't work, the artillery can't be transported up at all, and the bullock cart can't pass!"

"Should the cannon open the way?"

"Aren't you stupid, how do you drive, this place can't even stand up to artillery!"

"At this speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to climb this mountain even if I die of old age!"

On a certain mountainside of Aoshan, the officers and men in charge of escorting the artillery parts were complaining. The reason for the complaint was simple. The mountain road in Aoshan was too narrow. How narrow is it?Only two people can walk side by side, the artillery parts are pulled by bullock carts, what is the size of a cow, and what is the physique of the flatbed cart behind it, it is impossible to pass!

In the past, it was often said that the road of Shu was perverted, and it was not for people to walk, but now I really realized that it was really not for people to walk.

Left General Yang Zhong walked over at this moment, he couldn't ride a horse well on this mountain road, so he had to walk.

Yang Zhong glanced at the situation of the mountain road, then frowned into a word of Sichuan, thinking, how could the bullock cart pass through such a narrow mountain road.

"Can the artillery open the way?" Yang Zhong asked aloud.

"Haha, General Zuo, you are joking. We are now halfway up the mountain, and we don't know where the artillery is. Besides, this mountain is so big, how many shells will be used." A captain of the artillery battalion said with a sneer.

Yang Zhong exhorted: "Can the grain truck pass?"

"We use wheelbarrows to transport grain, so we can cross this mountain road!" Yang Yi, who was beside Yang Zhong, replied aloud.

"In front of the road of Shu, the biggest disadvantage of the Ugly Cow Artillery has emerged. It is not suitable for the mountains at all, and the land of Shu is basically mountainous. Even if we pull the artillery over this Aoshan Mountain, there is another big mountain waiting for us. !"

"According to the current progress, I am afraid that the Great Qin will be unified, and we have not encountered the Shu army yet. How about this, pass on the general's order, all the artillery battalions will withdraw from the Shu territory, and all return to Yanshui Pass to stand by, and another [-] spearmen will be sent. Escort!" After careful analysis, Yang Zhong issued a military order decisively.

"Ah?" Yang Yi was taken aback when he heard the words, "The general doesn't want artillery anymore?"

"What do you want it for? Artillery is a drag in the Shu territory. Besides, even if my Yang family army does not have the assistance of artillery, we can still destroy the Shu Dynasty!" Yang Zhong said solemnly and firmly.

"Uh... alright!" Yang Yi replied regretfully.

In the next period of time, the ten directly affiliated artillery battalions pulled a cart of artillery parts down the mountain, and it was not easy to go down the mountain. If one was not careful, the car would overturn.

After more than half a day, the ten directly subordinate artillery battalions successfully went down the mountain, and began to follow the same path, accompanied by 28 sword shield soldiers, responsible for protecting the artillery battalion, and the remaining [-] troops began to climb mountains and mountains, without the drag of artillery, The speed of the Qin army's march increased sharply. In less than two hours, the army successfully crossed Aoshan!

Time passed slowly, and the days passed day by day. With the various Qin armies attacking everywhere, the southern border of the Great Qin was in full swing. The Qin armies from all walks of life captured cities and wiped out the stubbornly resisting enemy armies, and jointly advanced the Great Qin. Domination!

The 28th year of Shengqin, June [-]th!

The seventh-rank wing guard general Sejong led his army to attack the Shangqiu imperial capital, but the results were not great. The imperial family, Shikun, local tyrants, relatives of officials, court officials, and royal clansmen had all disappeared long ago, leaving nothing useful. Things, such as household registration, treasures, etc., are not left behind.
