Chapter 17 Rebirth from ashes
Yelu Abaoji took the lead and led 1,500 Khitan cavalry to directly crush the Xianbei Tuoba Hong tribe and fulfilled his promise to cooperate with Tang Feng. Seeing all this, Tuoba Hong looked frightened and did not understand why the Khitan turned against him until his death.
Tuoba Hong's fear revealed a flaw to Tang Feng. Tang Feng took the opportunity to slash Tuoba Hong's head in the face of changes. Tuoba Hong, who had not yet reacted, saw the blade passing by his neck and blood rushing out. Tang Feng cut off Tuoba Hong's head with a knife, picked up his head on the ground and stood on the back of the horse, raised his arm and shouted, and a lion-roaring voice covering the entire war. Seeing that his commander was so brave, Tang Feng's morale suddenly increased, and everyone fought to kill the Xianbei Hu soldiers.
The dragons were headless. Soon, under the joint attack of Tang Feng and Khitan Yelu Abaoji, the Xianbei cavalry retreated and the birds and beasts scattered. Tang Feng's side, who had red eyes and the bloodthirsty Khitan cavalry would not let these defeated soldiers go, and the battlefield became a slaughterhouse.
In this battle, the Xianbei Tuoba Hong and his family were killed, including Tuoba Hong himself, except for a few who fled. Tang Feng won the greatest victory of the Dayin Dynasty since the fight against the Xianbei invasion, and wiped out the cowardice of our Han family.
After cleaning the battlefield, Yelu Abaoji did not stop for a moment, and left with his own Khitan cavalry. He was still so arrogant. He was not interested in quitting the Han people in front of him.
However, although Yelu Abaoji looked down on the weakness of the Han people from the bottom of his heart, the hard fighting of the Han soldiers led by Tang Feng still left a deep impression on him. The ferocious faces of his life-saving faces showed a trace of toughness and bloodiness that was no less than that of the nomadic people. Especially even at the last moment, when facing a life-and-death choice, the soldiers on the city did not come down to participate in the battle. It can be seen that Tang Feng and his party were not ordinary people, but Yelu Abaoji was not interested in learning more, at least not now.
Looking at Yelu Abaoji and Khitan cavalry walking away, Fatty Liu immediately spitted on the ground: "Bah, damn it, I know what it is for him to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight?"
Tang Feng shook the blood on the elite steel knife: "You can't say that, at least they took action in the end. If he didn't help, we would probably be in trouble."
When the people in Shunzhou City heard that Tang Feng had won the battle, they all took out the city to reward the soldiers who fought bloody battles. They were slaughtered and humiliated by the Xianbei Hu soldiers for a long time, which made them suppressed for too long. Today, they can finally be proud.
The old man raised his hand slightly trembling and used threadbare to help the soldiers wipe away the blood from their faces. The child pulled the soldiers' armor and kept calling his uncles and uncles. Who would have the heart to see those women, holding the cold husband lying on the ground and crying softly. Although it seemed silent, it was already heartbreaking.
Cheers, laughter, and crying are mixed together, this is war.
Huang Xianzhi walked quickly to Tang Feng with a crutch, holding Tang Feng's hand tightly, her lips moved slightly but didn't say a word, only tears fell, that's enough!
This battle completely defeated the prestige and status of the people in the hearts of the people in Shunzhou City, and won the hearts of the people that the Dayin Dynasty had lost for a long time. At night, the lights in Shunzhou City were brightly lit, drums, operas, and shouts. The Kongming lanterns outside the city flew continuously in the sky, and the people of the whole city and their soldiers celebrated the merits until dawn.
It was rumored that the three famous buildings in Shunzhou City were welcomed for free that night. Even the nine courtesans in the three buildings took the initiative to perform freely and sing songs and chat. On the same night, Fatty Liu said that there was a stomachache and then there was no trace of him all night. Poor Zhou Yan searched all the cottages in the army, thinking that Fatty Liu had drunk too much of the septic tank.
After the celebration banquet, Tang Feng immediately devoted himself to the work of organizing the army. After a new round of land expansion, the people actively signed up to join the army and recruited more than 2,000 new strong young people. In addition to supplementing the previous battlefield reduction and restoring the system, the Huang character camp was also added on the basis of the original Tiandi Xuan San Battalion, which was led by Huang Jizu. At this point, Tang Feng had Tiandi Xuan Huang Four Battalion, and officially organized the army for Tang Feng.
Without Tuoba Hong's threat, the external environment of Shunzhou City instantly loosened a lot. The people were working normally, merchants were constantly traveling and dealing with each other. Tang Feng was able to have enough time to train the Fourth Battalion Army. If the soldiers under Tang Feng were all new recruits before, then after the baptism of the war with the Xianbei people outside Shunzhou City, everyone grew a lot. The soldiers of the three armies had more firmness and confidence in winning the battle. This is morale!
After this war, it can be regarded as giving the soldiers a chance to be reborn from the fire. Only after the war training can they be reborn. In addition to daily training, Tang Feng also took the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion out of the city from time to time to attack the scouts of the Xianbei, transporting soldiers and small groups of troops, continuously enhancing the actual combat capabilities of the Fourth Battalion soldiers, while harassing and weakening the Xianbei.
Although Tang Feng was not capable enough to seize the cities occupied by the Xianbei, the Xianbei side had no extra power to wipe out Tang Feng after Tuoba Hong's defeat. He had enough defense and insufficient attack. After all, the Xianbei army had already gone south.
Zhuozhou City, the black clouds are crushing the city and are about to destroy it!
"The Xianbei has been besieging the city for some time. In the past few days, our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. Zhuozhou City is probably not able to continue to defend. The Central Plains court is in trouble again and it is difficult for itself to protect itself. I am afraid that it cannot expect reinforcements. Son, you are the only one who has a son to come, but I don't want to lose the incense. Let's leave quickly while the city has not yet been broken!"
The person who said this was Wen Rong, the governor of Zhuozhou County. Under the candlelight, his vicissitudes of life no longer had the calmness of the past and had a little anxiety. Wen Rong served as the governor of Zhuozhou County for more than three years. Although he had not made any great achievements, he was diligent and devoted to the people.
"Dad, if the child doesn't leave, he will go together if he wants to leave!" Wen Rong's son Wen Xuanliang replied resolutely.
"How can my father leave? Our Wen family has received the favor of the emperor and the people who have been able to pay tribute to the people. How can we turn away from the court and abandon the people at this time? I am old, so let me do my last part to the people of Zhuozhou and the last part to the court!
Outside Zhuozhou City, the Xianbei Murongbao tent was brightly lit.
"The old man Wen Rong, the governor of Zhuozhou County, is quite tough. He has been guarding Zhuozhou City for so long, but he has not given up. It is rare among the Han people. After the city is broken, he leaves a complete body for him!" Murong Hao sat on a large chair in the tent and touched his forehead with one hand. It was obvious that he was also a headache for besieging Zhuozhou these days. After all, time has been entrusted for a long time, and the situation in the Central Plains has changed rapidly.
"Yes, brother. After these two days of tentative attacks, the defenders of Zhuozhou City obviously did not resist so strongly. They probably were exhausted. I guess they would be able to take Zhuozhou City in the next two days."
Murong Ren paused after saying that, but he wanted to speak but stopped, but finally continued with trembling courage: "It's just that there are some problems behind us."
"What's the matter? Who will listen."
"After receiving the news from Youzhou, Tuoba Hong and his troops were besieged Shunzhou, but their troops were all wiped out, and Tuoba Hong himself was also killed in battle. The one guarding Shunzhou City seemed to be an unknown young general named Tang Feng." Murong Ren replied carefully, afraid of being punished by Murong Huang, who was in a tight mood in front of him. Tuoba Hong was a general under Murong Ren's tent.
"It's okay, a small city of Shunzhou can't cause any big waves. I'm afraid that Tuoba Hong is arrogant and underestimating the enemy. The Han people are tricky. It's important to clear the stumbling block of Zhuozhou now. When you capture Zhuozhou City, you will meet him again!"
