Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1901: The two armies arrive, Bu Fei resigns, Huangfu is trapped
After the loss of Hutoushan, the enemy's morale was indeed shaken.

However, even so, Bu Fei still had Tongcheng to rely on. Therefore, even if the morale was shaken, this shake was definitely within the controllable range, and it was impossible for it to be out of control like after a complete defeat.

If they attacked rashly, they would be surrounded by the two armies and the 30,000-strong army would surely be defeated by Bu Fei. They would win first and then lose, and the previous battle would have been in vain.

If all 30,000 vanguard troops were killed, the significance of taking Hutou Mountain would be lost by at least half.

At this time, Bu Fei wanted to retreat, but there was no need to be so hasty.

Therefore, there must be something wrong behind this! If they really chased after him, they would most likely fall into his trap.

On the Cang Camp side, the movement was still going on, but in the camp under the dark night, teams of soldiers, relying on the defensive wooden fences, were fully prepared to fight.

The spear blades reflected cold light and the arrows flashed like stars. If Hulugu really led his troops to attack, he would definitely not end up well.

"General, the enemy seems to have no intention of attacking?" After waiting for a long time and seeing Wangcheng moving and then quiet again, a lieutenant broke the somewhat dull atmosphere and said to Bu Fei.

Bu Fei stood with his sword in hand. When he heard the voice, a hint of helplessness appeared on his silent face. He said with emotion, "Huo Luguang is indeed a famous general who fought against the Han Dynasty. He is so experienced in using troops. It seems that he has seen through my strategy. He can still endure it! This time, he is really defeated miserably."

"Forget it, leave one battalion to guard the rear, and the rest of the battalions retreat southward in order!" Quickly putting away his emotions, Bu Fei gave a stern order.

"General, I'll stay!" At this time, the lieutenant general volunteered.

Bu Fei looked at the tribesman and nodded without hesitation.

Wang Yu stayed in Ningping County, waiting quietly for the Tianhe Navy to transport the troops of the Huben Corps and the Imperial Guard Corps across the river and into Weiguan.

Of course, it was impossible to mobilize only the Huben Corps in this southern expedition. Half of the Imperial Guard Corps was also dispatched. In addition, the Feiyu Corps, which was pure cavalry, also rushed to various battlefields.

Not to mention, Han Xin of Yannan also led his army south.

On the Hedong side, Xue Rengui had to serve as Zhang Liao's support, while keeping an eye on the Zhonghang Mountains, he also had to intimidate the small court in Hexi.

It is precisely because so many troops were dispatched that Hulugu's vanguard army became disconnected from the main force of the central army.

After all, Gan Ning and Shi Lang's Tianhe Navy did not have the ability to transport so many troops all at once, and could only transport them in several batches.

It was not until the last batch of soldiers was left that Wang Yu stepped onto the battlefield after resting up enough. Under Gan Ning's escort, he crossed the river and entered Weiguan.

Along the way, the battle situation ahead continued to come in, which was a constant stream of good news, making Wang Yu extremely happy. After crossing the river and entering Weiguan, he crossed the mountains and ridges, and entered the Hutoushan area through a vast expanse of green forests. Even though there were broken swords and blades and corpses scattered in the wild along the way, he was not affected at all.

They did not go to Wangcheng too early. Such a small city could not even accommodate Hulugu's 30,000 troops, let alone their hundreds of thousands of troops.

The battle at Hutou Mountain was easy to fight. After all, the troops involved were elite soldiers, there were not many casualties, and the results were fruitful. The entire camp was immersed in a relaxed atmosphere.

When King Yusheng arrived, all the generals and officers led the people to welcome him, and everyone had a look of joy on their faces.

"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!" Wang Yu dismounted in front of the camp, his gentle attitude showing that he was in a good mood.

"This victory is all thanks to your Majesty's calm command and strategic planning!" Deng Qiang stood in the front, his eyes, face and mouth full of joy, licking his lips happily.

Regardless of whether Wang Yu had any contribution to this battle, it was still related to Wang Yu. Besides, it was also important to be in charge of the rear, wasn't it?

"How can I compete with the soldiers for merit? You fought desperately and pursued the enemy to the north. I remember all of it in my heart!" Wang Yu waved his hand: "Let's go into the camp and talk."

When they entered the camp to inspect, the soldiers of various armies and camps saw Wang Yu's holy presence. I don't know who took the lead, but they shouted "Thousand Victory". The cheers lasted for a long time before they dispersed.

"Our army won a complete victory in this battle. The general led the troops to easily capture Hutou Mountain, and his contribution is indispensable!" After entering the camp and sitting down, Wang Yu pondered for a moment.

All the generals looked at the handsome Deng Qiang, but did not say much.

As a fierce general, Deng Qiang was indeed of burly build. However, he was not as rough and burly as most fierce generals. Instead, he had a delicate face and looked more like an elegant scholar.

In this battle, Deng Qiang did make a contribution, and a great one at that.

Although Hutou Mountain has been emptied due to the planning of Hulugu and Su Li, this battle is still of utmost importance.

If they failed to capture Hutou Mountain, the outcome of the battle would be completely reversed, and the Han army would be restricted everywhere.

Otherwise, Hulugu would not have given this important task to Deng Qiang, his deputy general. In the entire vanguard army, besides Hulugu, Deng Qiang had the highest status.

For Hulugu and Su Li, this battle was indeed a risky one.

However, no matter how risky they were, or how great the risk was, the fact that they won in the end cannot erase their contribution.

Deng Qiang was quite surprised, but he met Wang Yu's gaze, grinned, and bowed obediently, saying, "Your Majesty is in charge of the rear and the army is at peace. General Hulu and Su Congshi have made good plans, and I am just following your orders."

Wang Yu's lips curled up rarely, and he looked around and said in a deep voice: "As for the officers and soldiers of other camps, they are all recorded in the register, and they will be rewarded according to their merits in the future!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Stop for a day, pack up, and then the whole army will continue to march south to Tongcheng!"

"Yes"

As night fell and the wind cooled, Wang Yu personally inspected the mountains. The first battle was a great victory, and the soldiers were very relaxed.

After walking around, Wang Yu stood on a hilltop, pointed to the military camp below, and said to Yue Fei and Yao Guangxiao, who had been called to accompany him, "Don't you think that the atmosphere in this army is lacking something?"

Yao Guangxiao could not help but exchange a glance with Yue Fei, slightly puzzled. Yue Fei asked, "Why do you say that, Your Majesty?" "The victory of this battle is all thanks to the soldiers' dedication. We have fought hard all the way, but have not received any rewards. Even I feel tired." Wang Yu explained with a relaxed smile, waving his hand, "The overall situation has been decided. Give orders to reward the three armies tonight to celebrate the victory. Prepare wine and meat, and temporarily lift the ban on alcohol to make the soldiers happy."

"It's reasonable to celebrate, but now that the drinking order has been lifted, if we relax too much, something unexpected might happen." Yue Fei couldn't help but remind them.

This was a strict man who disciplined his army. In his army, if anyone drank alcohol without reason, they would be punished with fifty sticks at the least. Not to mention, this was wartime. If it wasn't for Wang Yu who spoke up, he would have had him arrested.

"I know. I'm not asking you to prepare wine for hundreds of thousands of people. It's just for those who participated in the battle to celebrate. Besides, the matter of vigilance and prevention is left to you, Commander Yue!" Wang Yu replied calmly.

If there were really hundreds of thousands of people celebrating together, he wouldn't be able to get each person a bowl of wine, or even a sip of wine!
Therefore, the only ones who are truly qualified to drink this wine are the Black Cavalry and the Xianzhen Camp that accompanied Deng Qiang in the surprise attack on Hutou Mountain.

Moreover, at this time, giving these thousands of people a drink to celebrate the victory is also to let the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army see that they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds in the Han Dynasty. In this way, the soldiers will work harder in this war to conquer the south.

Seeing that Wang Yu was indeed not complacent, Yue Fei took a step back, cupped his hands and replied, "Yes!"

"That's right!" Wang Yu raised his finger and warned again, very seriously: "The dead and wounded soldiers must be sorted into a book and given proper compensation. This matter is handed over to you and Si Dao. The soldiers shed blood and lost their lives, and we must do them justice!"

The two looked at each other again and bowed in unison, "Yes!"

Tongcheng!

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

This is the first big city after crossing the river and leaving Wei Pass. It is also the seat of government of Tianhuai County in Henan Province.

Henan Province is worthy of being the location of the imperial capital, Tianjing, and Henan Province is even more worthy of being the leader of the four rivers. Although Tongcheng is only the seat of government of one of the Heyang counties.

However, this city has a population of 400,000.

This population size is already comparable to that of some Taoist cities.

After Bu Fei retreated from Wangcheng, he led all his troops into Tongcheng.

Heyang Road is rich and has developed agriculture, and there have always been large amounts of grain reserves in various places.

In other words, in the area of ​​the Four Rivers, unless it is a bad year and is affected by extremely serious natural disasters or man-made calamities, people rarely worry about food.

Tongcheng is the seat of a county and has a large amount of grain reserves, so they don't need to worry about food and fodder for the time being.

Moreover, the city walls of Tongcheng are tall and strong, which cannot be compared with that of a mere Wangcheng.

However, although Henan Road has four dangers, after entering these four directions, it is almost a basin plain terrain, and there is no natural danger to speak of! Even the previous Hutou Mountain is actually just a part of the extension of these four dangers.

Therefore, outside Tongcheng, it can be said that there is an endless plain.

Apart from having this city to rely on, they have nothing else to rely on.

Therefore, it is not a wise move to use a single Tongcheng as the center of defense. In the absence of Weiguan, using Tongcheng as the backing and making Hutoushan the forefront of the defense line is the safest way.

However, Hutou Mountain was lost, so Wang Yu's main force of the central army had just arrived, and the real battle had not yet begun, but Bu Fei had already lost by three points.

Originally, although Bu Fei was not one of the highest-ranking people under Prince Jing, he was also an important general. However, at this time, he was extremely decadent.

When Wang Yu's troops crossed the river and entered Weiguan Pass, Prince Jing's troops had also arrived. In fact, Prince Jing's troops arrived even earlier.

Only two days after Prince Jing's troops arrived, a team of Prince Jing's envoys arrived on horseback, bringing Prince Jing's latest decree regarding the punishment of the defeated Bu Fei.

Of course, the responsibility for defeat must be investigated!

In fact, if Wang Yu's main force arrived, with several times the number of troops, if Bu Fei could not hold on and flew, then Prince Jing might not say much, at most just a few symbolic verbal punishments!

But the enemy's main force hadn't arrived yet, and Bu Fei had already lost the frontline position. Such a defeat would naturally require punishment!
Naturally, it was impossible for Bu Fei to continue to serve as the commander-in-chief and lead such a large army as he was responsible for such a huge defeat.

Although the number of troops coming to support Prince Jing is not large, there are still 80,000 of them. Together with the troops originally from Bu Fei's side, there are a total of 150,000 troops.

Prince Jing's troops are relatively scattered.

A large part of his troops were stationed on Guangyin Road and Heyang Road. This area was where he faced King Wei and Xuanyuan Huang Tianshi Road.

The Heyang Road area did fall into the hands of the Tianshi Dao and King Wei at the beginning. However, the previous King Jing seized the opportunity, fought back against the Tianshi Dao, and regained almost one-third of the Heyang Road.

In addition, with the loss of the western gate of Henan Road, when facing the Zhenxi Army, in order to guard against the current Zhao Song, he had to station a large number of troops in the west.

Therefore, at this time, Prince Jing was indeed unable to mobilize a large number of troops for a while.

Speaking of which, Prince Jing was actually still very embarrassed at this time.

Now, although the various forces in Da Cang have ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperors after Wang Yu and Zhao Kuangyin successively ascended the throne, the other forces have also begun to be unwilling to be lonely and have successively ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperors. Among the original forces in Da Cang, the only two forces that have not ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperors are the Zhenbei Army and the Zhennan Army.

However, compared with Wang Yu's Han Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin's Song Dynasty, and Xuanyuan Huang's Yan Dynasty, the rest were very embarrassed.

Because, the remaining few, all claim to be the orthodox bloodline of Da Cang, and each of them wants to inherit the name of Da Cang. Now, it can be said that there are three Cangs coexisting, West Cang, Central Cang, and East Cang, which is really chaotic.

Today, Zhongcang, with the support of a large number of aristocratic families headed by the Nangong family, has regained its strength in the face of the Tianshi Dao and is no longer as weak as before.

However, Prince Jing, who was located in the most central area of ​​the four warring states, did feel overwhelmed.

In particular, although he inherited the legacy of Huangfu Mingzhao's small court after his death, many people in this small court did not fully recognize him. The betrayal of Feng Yihan and his group of people was the best proof of this.

In addition, although he inherited the legacy of Huangfu Mingzhao's small court, it does not mean that he inherited all the power of the Huangfu family.
