Chapter four hundred and seventy-ninth thousand cavalry broke the city(1/2)
Zheng Ying, the king of Zheng, has become very cautious now because of the defeat of the Guard Army and the last words Xiao Yanbing left for him.
If the Great Zhou could show an overwhelming advantage, Zheng Ying, who thought there was no hope, would not have to die for Zheng State.
Of course, if Mo Zizai directly showed the strength of the Red Flame Dragon Knight, it is estimated that the probability of Wulianghe surrender is also quite high.
But from Mo Zizai to the civil and military ministers in the court, they all tacitly ignored this choice and had no intention of surrendering the barbarians.
As for the reason, it is very simple and cruel.
The disaster brought about by this cold wave was not only targeted at the places under the Wei Dynasty's court. The three counties of Longbei occupied by the barbarians were naturally also included.
But what is strange is that under the influence of the disaster, Longbei County, which was originally relatively barren, did not have any shortage of food and grass this time. Even in this case, Wulianghe also had a lot of money and grass to bribe the officials of the Wei State.
At that time, although Mo Zizai felt that this situation was wrong, because the Great Zhou was busy fighting disasters and doing infrastructure, he had no time to manage them, so he sent a team of warriors from the Golden Body Realm as spies to investigate the situation.
As a result, the situation reported by the spies made the court of Dazhou boil.
The three counties in Longbei have a population of four million, and in just three years, there are only less than two million left.
You should know that the wars that occurred in the three counties in Longbei Province did not add up to more than half a year, and even if the wars in half a year were added with natural disasters, it would not be possible to erase more than two million people at once.
Therefore, it is natural that the two million people who disappeared had ended up in no way.
It is precisely because of this that the Zhou courts did not have any voices of opposition and agreed to use troops against the barbarians.
After Mo Zizai, who was responsible for the foreign war, decided to fight, the big Zhou, a behemoth who had been cultivating for three years, quickly started to operate.
Because the barbarians are not defending the country, they are invading the country, so fighting them is naturally a righteous act, and they don’t even need to declare war in advance to find a title of righteousness for themselves.
"No need for too many people this time."
Mo Zizai thought for a moment, then said, "Yan Zhang, you bring ten thousand Red Flame Dragon Cavalry and I first. After breaking Wanling Pass, you don't have to stop and go straight to the capital of Weiguo."
"As for the rest of the finishing work, just leave it to the Yuzhijun."
In Mo Zizai's opinion, destroying the barbarians, 10,000 Red Flame Dragon Cavalry and 50,000 straight troops, is enough.
"The strength is enough, but the number is a little small."
Yang Weishang pondered for a moment, then added: "After all, the territory of the Wei Kingdom is not small, and relying on 50,000 imperial troops alone will definitely not be able to take care of it."
"So, the old minister thinks that there is nothing important to do with me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, so why not transfer another 300,000 Shenwei Army."
"There is no need for them to fight. If you win a city, you will take over it."
"In addition, the old ministers will also select some capable officials and send them to the occupied cities to save the chaos that will affect the people."
Whether it was Yang Weishang or Mo Zizai, neither of them cared about the barbarians, and they skipped the battle and began to worry about the safety of their future people.
"What the Master said is reasonable."
Mo Zizai nodded in agreement, then he thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, when the officials were sent over, he would draw some personnel from the East Factory to assist them."
The people from the East Factory were drawn to follow those officials, not that Mo Zizai could not trust the people selected by Yang Weishang, but that Mo Zizai wanted to implement the new policy directly and implement the new policy. At that time, those officials were kind to the government and loved the people to appease the people, and the role of those people in the East Factory was to use swords and cut off those who did not cooperate.
To put it bluntly, one is a blushing face and the other is a blushing face. Officials represent the court, while the Dongchang represents Mo Zizai's meaning.
Anyway, Mo Zizai is already very accustomed to being a "bad person" now, and he doesn't care about making a name for himself in Weiguo.
After saying this, Mo Zizai seemed to remember something, paused, and then said, "Also, this time, take the Sin Camp and the Xiandeng Camp with him."
"We will lead our army to the capital to deal with Wulianghe, and first go to the camp and the cun camp, and go directly to Longbei County."
The Crime Camp and the Xiandeng Camp were all about killing and setting fires. Although there was no war in the past three years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the number of people they killed was dozens of times more than the Dongchang, which was responsible for all kinds of dirty things.
Now Mo Zizai wants to send this most murderous army to Longbei County, the barbarian base camp, the intention is self-evident.
Although the ministers in the imperial study room always felt that these two armies were too killing, they heard that Mo Zizai was going to send them to Longbei County, but no one opposed it. They all nodded and said, "It's feasible."
After a major blood change in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the current style of conduct is to act resolutely. The Ministry of Revenue spent three days to raise food and grass, and then the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry and the Imperial Army arrived directly to the East through a steam train.
In addition to Yang Yanzhang, who was in charge of commanding the troops, Mo Zizai also brought Tang Weilu and Zhou Qi to accompany him.
...
East, Xunyang City.
Zhang Yuan, who had been guarding here for several years, couldn't help feeling helpless when he looked at the Red Flame Dragon Knight whose momentum was so strong that he could not breathe.
I have been practicing for a lifetime and have only entered the Golden Body Realm after being over fifty years old. As a result, any soldier can compare with his strength before, so how can I reason?
Fortunately, this army belongs to its own side, otherwise, it would be even more desperate.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan showed a smile on his face, and then spoke to Mo Zizai: "Zhang Yuan, Zhenyuan, have seen the prince."
"Hello, please be polite."
In the past few years of disaster relief, Mo Zizai has also followed the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry to Xunyang City, so he is familiar with Zhang Yuan. He turned over and dismounted, exchanged greetings with Zhang Yuan for a few words, and then said, "I think the Marquis must have received the decree from the previous few days, so I won't go into details."
"The East Realm is also handed over to the Marquis to guard the Marquis. I will take the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry to defend the uncivilized barbarians of the National Assembly."
“Okay.”
If Zhang Yuan was young, he had to ask for his life together, but now he is old, and this is basically a crushing battle, so there is no suspense in the outcome, so he is too lazy to get involved, "Does the prince need to rest in Xunyang for a few days?"
"No need, soldiers are very fast."
With the strength of the Red Flame Dragon Knight, he will basically not be tired, so Mo Zizai was too lazy to rest and said directly: "I will take them to set off immediately, and the Marquis will comfort the people."
"clear."
Zhang Yuan nodded and watched Mo Zizai lead his army away. After a while, he shook his head.
"I really didn't expect that the boy who I thought he could only make a fool of himself, now brought me such a big surprise."
"If he knew about this, he wouldn't be shocked to fall."
Zhang Yuan stroked his beard and remembered Mo Congyi's evaluation of Mo Zizai back then. He couldn't help but feel quite interesting. He thought that Mo Congyi had been dead for a long time, and then he couldn't help feeling a little sad, "What a pity, that kid's life is short and he died a little early. He can't see such a good son."
...
Behind Xunyang City is Wu Pass, which was originally defeated by Mo Congyi, and was considered the territory of the Great Zhou. Unfortunately, after Tang Shuyu's death, he was taken back by the Three Kingdoms.
Originally, the coalition forces of the Three Kingdoms were stationed here, and there were no less than 300,000 troops all year round.
But now, in order to show goodwill to the Great Zhou, Zheng Ying took the initiative to withdraw his troops. In addition, civil strife broke out in the Wei Kingdom before, and now there are only a total of more than 100,000 people stationed in Wuguan.
"Prince, how do you fight?"
After arriving at Wu Pass, Yang Yanzhang looked at Mo Zizai with a smile. He asked this, not because he wanted to ask Mo Zizai what way to break the barrier, but because he wanted to ask Mo Zizai how to win.
Mo Zizai felt a little regretful when he looked at the city wall that was more than ten feet high. However, in the future, the Great Zhou conquered the Three Kingdoms, and Wuguanheng was here, which hindered traffic, so he directly asked the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry to choose the most shocking way.
"The Red Flame Dragon Knight is like a warrior who practices in seclusion. Now that his magical power is successful, how can you not show off?"
"Straight to break the city!"
"Here!"
Hearing Mo Zizai say this, Yang Yanzhang instantly felt energetic. He shouted excitedly: "Red Flame Dragon Knight, Broken City!!!"
The Red Flame Dragon Knight has been practicing for three years, but now he takes action, he will naturally be shocked.
"Here!"
In the Red Flame Dragon Knight's team, the strongest ones of a thousand people instantly stepped out, followed Yang Yanzhang and started charging.
In three years, in addition to their practice, the strength of the Red Blood Dragon Test under their seat has also increased several times. Now the Red Blood Dragon Test is covered with red scales.
Now that the thousand cavalry charge, combined with the red armor on these cavalry, it feels like a red torrent.
"kill!"
The Red Flame Dragon Knight, who rushed over like thunder, faced the rain of arrows falling like dark clouds, without any intention of avoiding them. Even in these rain of arrows, many stone castings and city-breaking crossbows, could not delay their charge at all.
Those who fell to their attacks seemed to be really raindrops to them, and they just pushed them away.
As for the current speed of the Red Blood Dragon Test, the distance from charge to the city wall arrived almost instantly. Facing the heavy city wall in front of him, the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry not only did not stop charging at all, but instead raised the red spear in his hand.
"What do they want to do?"
The Wuguan Guard thought that Mo Zizai was actually using cavalry to attack the city, which was so stupid.
Then before he could laugh at him, he was frightened by the speed of the Red Flame Dragon Knight. Then he saw that the Red Flame Dragon Knights were about to rush under the city wall, and there was no sign of slowing down at all, which made him a little confused.
Are these cavalry here to seek death? At such a high speed, it would be a fate that both men and horses would be broken. "What are these cavalry thinking? Do they think they are all golden body realm?"
As soon as the general of Wuguan was in his mind, he saw the Thousand Riders Red Flame Dragon Rider raise the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Break!"
"Break? What to break?"
The Wuguan Guard was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a loud "boom" sound coming from his feet. Then, he felt as if an earthquake had occurred. The city wall under his feet began to shake instantly, followed by the continuous splash of bricks and stones, and the entire city wall was shaking.
"Run quickly, the city wall is about to collapse!"
Seeing this scene, the guard general Wuguan's pupils shrank. He could no longer think about what the Red Flame Dragon Knight had done. He suddenly exerted force under his feet and jumped up from the city wall.
As soon as he jumped into the air, the city wall had collapsed. Most of the soldiers on the city wall had no time to escape, and were basically buried under the city wall.
The Wuguan Guard who jumped into the air in time actually saw the red-flame dragon cavalry that had just charged forward appeared inside the city wall.
"They...they..."
The Wuguan Guard was so scared that he had to stop thinking. In his mind, there was only one thought, that is, these red-flame dragon cavalry had actually penetrated the city wall?
To be continued...
