Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 315
Fang Zhengqi checked that everything was fine, and ordered someone to clean up the battlefield, wash away the blood, and bury the corpse.

He brought three thousand cavalry and rushed to the battlefield in Fengyuan Town.

At this time, Chengyuan Ling had already led his troops to Fengyuan Town. Han Zicong had already been killed, and there were less than 2000 Northern Han soldiers left here. But there are still more than three thousand left.

Even so, after a hard fight, Cheng Yuanling escaped.

Zhao Dezhao didn't regret it too much, because his strength was still not enough.This time, the Cao family's army had been borrowed to hold Cheng Yuanling and take the lead in completing the reinforcements to Fengyuan Town.

If there are another two thousand soldiers and horses to set up an ambush on Cheng Yuanling's way back to the city, even if he can't completely win a complete victory, I believe that the Northern Han Dynasty will basically be killed and there will be very few left.

Second, whether Cheng Yuan Ling died at this time has nothing to do with the future, and the Great Song Army will continue to sweep the Northern Han Dynasty.This time Zhao Dezhao was determined to reorganize the Northern Han army.

With this reason, except for ordinary people in the Northern Han Dynasty, no one else could stay.

"Come on! Tell me about today's battle."

"Your Highness! In the battle of Fengyuan Town today, a total of more than 5000 enemies were wiped out. About 3000 escaped? Our side killed 120 and 260 people and injured [-] and [-] people."

"Your Highness! In the Battle of the Woods, more than 3000 soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty were wiped out, and less than 1000 escaped. Our casualties totaled more than 400."

"Your Highness! The ambush in Yunzhou City wiped out 5000 soldiers from the Northern Han Army, and none of them slipped through the net. 17 of our side were slightly injured."

Fang Zhengqi's result is obviously the best among all of them.

So Zhao Dezhao gave the first credit to Fang Zhengqi.

This battle wiped out half of the army and horses of the Northern Han Army, and it also had a great impact on their hearts.

On the other side, Cheng Yuanling fled back to the Northern Han Dynasty in embarrassment with about [-] Northern Han troops who were fighting hard.

"What?" Hearing the result of such a disastrous defeat, the king of the Northern Han Dynasty was so angry that he almost lost his breath.

"Cheng Yuanling! You boasted to me at the beginning, and now you come back to see me like this?"

Cheng Yuanling was sweating profusely and remained silent.

"Don't talk about the past, now you tell me, what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuanling's eyes lit up again.

"Your Majesty! We still have a way to compete with the Great Song Army."

"What way! Tell me!"

"The original Cao family army was still our ally, but when it comes to the Song Dynasty, they have been timid. I thought that only those bandits who have been rioting in various parts of the Song Dynasty are our strong support in the Northern Han Dynasty. Contact them and recruit them. , if I use it, I will be able to compete with the Song Dynasty.”

The king of the Northern Han sneered, "Cheng Yuanling! Are you kidding me? The Cao family used to be very friendly with me in the Northern Han Dynasty, but you killed the top member of the Cao family without authorization, so that you had a grudge against him for no reason. Come to complain about the temporary betrayal of the Cao family?"

"Besides, every bandit family in the Han region has its own ideas. Now that our army strength in the Northern Han Dynasty has been halved, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely take advantage of the victory to attack. How much time do you have to contact the bandit clan?"

This king of the Northern Han Dynasty is indeed the wise king who has built the Northern Han Dynasty to the best level for hundreds of years, and he is quite sharp in looking at the problem.

Sweat rolled down Cheng Yuanling's forehead, and he knelt down to plead guilty.

"Forget it! Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything. If you can think of it, just do it quickly. I'm afraid you and I will not have much time."

Not long after Zhao Dezhao's victory in Yunzhou, it was already the middle of winter, but fortunately the climate in the south was mild, so it was not too sad.

In many places, even if there is a light snow at night, the next day is still warm as usual.

Occasionally, you can see the wonderful scene of mountain people wearing shorts and straw sandals freely coming and going on the snow.

On this day, Zhao Dezhao convened a meeting with all the civil and military ministers in Yunzhou City.

Above the hall, Zhao Dezhao sat at the main seat, Qian Niuer and other civil officials were on the left, Fang Zhengqi, Shi Yuanliang, Wang Zixing and other generals were on the right, and Lu Juan stood behind him.

"Your Highness! I have recently practiced Ma Jun, and the effect is very good. It is worthy of battle."

Qian Niu'er bowed and said.

"Speaking of which, how many horses do we have now?"

"Your Highness, Hongfu! We now have ten thousand horses, big and small, and more than eight thousand of them can be used as war horses."

Zhao Dezhao nodded, "It is indeed worthy of a battle. What do you all think about the current situation?"

"Your Highness! We have already prepared. We will go south to the Northern Han Dynasty in one go, destroy his country, stabilize the rear, and then turn around and go north."

Shi Yuanliang waved his hand and said majesticly.

Fang Zhengqi immediately said, "Yes!"

Wang Zixing also puffed up his chest and said, "Your Highness! I think so too."

Zhao Dezhao and Qian Niu'er looked at each other and smiled.

"Your Highness! Now Yunzhou Prefecture and Song Dynasty are becoming more and more stable. Although Shuiluo City is far away, it is still under control. Only this Taiyuan will inevitably cause troubles over time. I also think we should do our best to figure it out!"

Qian Niuer made a closing statement.

"Okay!" Zhao Dezhao waved his hand.

"Now that you are all ready, I declare! We will attack the Northern Han Dynasty immediately, and strive to destroy this country within 20 days!"

"I will personally sit in Yunzhou and lead the team to attack the Northern Han Dynasty. Although there are not many troops here, 3 people are enough."

"Shi Yuanliang listen to the order!"

"The end is here!"

"I order you to take three thousand cavalry as the vanguard, and go all the way south to attack the city."

"Yes!"

"The prince is happy to obey the order!"

"The end is here!"

"Lead 2000 men and horses, press grain and transport grass, and be an army supervisor by the way."

"Yes!"

Grain pressure officer is a very important job, because throughout the ages, many generals who fought wars were good at cutting people's food. Once the food was cut off, the battle could not be fought.

Therefore, the food pressure officer must be brave and resourceful, and able to endure loneliness.

However, capable generals are naturally willing to go to the battlefield in person. Although the grain pressure officer is important, few people are willing to do it.

But the Supervising Army is different. He has the meaning of panacea, and he can go to the emergency wherever there is an emergency, which is more free.

Zhao Dezhao asked Wang Zixing Yaliang to also serve as the supervisor of the army, just to give him a sweetener, so that he would not be unwilling.

After hearing this, Wang Zixing agreed.

"General Fang and I will lead the other troops to give you a strong backing!"

The next day, the armies set off one after another.

Shi Yuanliang took [-] cavalry as the leading team, and wherever he went, he was invincible.

The army successively recovered Champa, Xiangshan and other places.

The Northern Han army did not engage in battle, but just retreated blindly.

The king of the Northern Han Dynasty and Cheng Yuan Ling also had a plan, they didn't dare to confront head-on, they retreated again and again, and stretched the front of the Great Song Army, so that every time the Great Song Army conquered a territory, they had to keep people to stick to it, which consumed their resources. troops.
