Fenghou

Chapter 318 Yusha
It was getting brighter, and the night battle was over. The [-] puppet Qi troops who stayed in the camp were attacked by [-] cavalry led by Chen Qing. The morale of the puppet Qi army collapsed, and they lost all fighting spirit. It's easy, Chen Qing once again killed the order, refused to accept the surrender, and used the enemy's head to judge his merits.

The cavalry of the Song army went on a rampage, killing only heads and blood flowing into rivers. In this battle, more than [-] of the [-] puppet Qi soldiers were beheaded, and only more than [-] escaped by chance.

Niu Gao brought more than a dozen generals out to meet Chen Qing. Chen Qing told them: "Clean up the battlefield, burn the corpses and bury them deeply. There are a lot of looted property in the camp. Collect them. The army must maintain a high level." Be vigilant and prevent the enemy from attacking again."

"Humble post obeys orders!"

Niu Gao saluted and asked: "Is Dutong going to pursue Kong Yanzhou's remnants?"

Chen Qing nodded, "They fled in the direction of Fuzhou. Wherever these people go, it must be a catastrophe for the people."

Chen Qing summoned the cavalry, and immediately led the cavalry brigade to rush to the east
Kong Yanzhou was originally planning to flee to Xiangyang, but Chen Qing's unexpected appearance gave him a reason to question Dong Xian. This is a typical intelligence error leading to a wrong decision, and Dong Xian bears the inescapable responsibility.

Kong Yanzhou led his army to flee along Xiashui for a day and a night, tired and hungry. Although he looted two villages along the way and got some food, rice, chickens and ducks to satisfy their hunger, the soldiers were still suffering from hunger and cold, and their morale was low.

How can it not be demoralized?The property they looted over the years was placed in the barracks, and the barracks were destroyed, and they had nothing left.

If these soldiers let them plunder wealth and insult women, their morale is high and they are willing to work hard, but if they are allowed to suffer losses, they will be renounced, and their so-called loyalty will be gone.

Kong Yanzhou also knew it well. He summoned all the soldiers and surrounded them with torches to illuminate the night. He stood on a big rock and shouted loudly: "Forty miles ahead is Yusha County. There are no soldiers guarding it. Everyone cheer up." Spirit, enjoy it after entering the county, make up for the loss of property, and boost my morale!"

Now more than [-] puppet Qi soldiers screamed excitedly, gearing up, Kong Yanzhou asked loudly again: "Do you want to rest now or go?"

"Let's go!" More than [-] people shouted together.

Despite the hunger and cold, his morale was lifted again. Kong Yanzhou waved his sword, "Go to Yusha County!"

He led more than [-] troops to Yusha County, dozens of miles away.
Yusha County is a middle county, located at the junction of Fuzhou and Jiangling Prefecture, the only county town within a hundred miles around, about fifty miles away from the Yangtze River.

At dawn, Kong Yanzhou finally reached the city of Yusha County. The city wall was clearly visible two miles away.

But when they saw the county seat and the city gate, the four thousand soldiers shouted excitedly and rushed towards the city gate desperately. Set off!"

Four thousand soldiers rushed forward like a tide, but at this moment, a cavalry suddenly appeared in the city, and the leader was Yang Zaixing.

The enemy troops attacking Baling had withdrawn to besiege Hanyang. Baling made a false alarm and the alarm was lifted. Yang Zaixing took a boat across the river. According to the prior agreement, he waited for Chen Qing's main force halfway from Jiangling to Hanyang, which happened to be Yusha County. .

Yang Zaixing led [-] cavalry to rest in the county for two days. Unexpectedly, Chen Qing's army did not arrive, but Kong Yanzhou's remnants instead.

"General Yang, it's Kong Yanzhou's army!" County magistrate Feng Da recognized the enemy general.

Yang Zaixing nodded, "After my cavalry go out, close the city gate immediately, and don't give these demons a chance to harm the people!"

"I see!"

Yang Zaixing shouted, "Annihilate them all, leaving no prisoners of war!"

It was Chen Qing's order that Kong Yanzhou's army should be wiped out and no prisoners of war would be accepted.

Five thousand cavalry rushed out of the city gate, their swords sharp and their spears shining coldly, like a strong wind blowing on the ground, they swept towards the four thousand enemy troops one mile away.

The four thousand puppet Qi soldiers who were in high spirits saw that countless Song Army cavalrymen were coming to kill them. They were so frightened that they turned around and fled.

"Don't run, line up for me!"

Kong Yanzhou yelled loudly, but none of the four thousand soldiers listened to his order. They threw away their helmets and armor and ran away desperately, only hating their parents for missing two feet.

Kong Yanzhou had no choice but to lead a few soldiers to flee to the northwest
In just a moment, five thousand cavalry caught up with the fleeing enemy army, stabbed with knives and spears, killing corpses all over the field, and blood flowed like rivers.

Although Kong Yanzhou had a horse and escaped by chance, the [-] troops he led were wiped out this time, and Kong Yanzhou lost the attention of the Jin people. It was many years before Chen Qing met Kong Yanzhou again.

The next morning, Chen Qing led [-] cavalrymen to Yusha County. He thought that Yusha County was in dire straits, but he didn't expect Yang Zaixing to arrive first. Absolutely, it really gave Chen Qing a pleasant surprise.

Yang Zaixing sighed, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that Kong Yanzhou ran away. I was not ready at the time, and the other party came too suddenly. If I could find out earlier, I would have ordered the north and the south to deploy an army each. There is no escape."

Chen Qing smiled slightly and said: "There is a destiny in the dark, and it may not be a bad thing if he escapes, let him go!"

Yang Zaixing felt relieved, and said again: "As for the information about Baling, I want to report to Dutong in detail."

"Let's talk about it in the city!"

Chen Qing led the army into the county seat, and several county officials came out to greet them with great gratitude. Feng Da, the county magistrate, said with emotion: "God bless Yusha County, if General Yang happened to be in Yusha County, Yusha County would face the greatest catastrophe in history. Families will be destroyed, and so will we. We are grateful to Chen Dutong's army from the bottom of our hearts."

Chen Qing said with a smile: "I was also worried that Kong Yanzhou's army would harm the people, so I chased all the way. It was still a step too late. Thanks to Yang Zaixing who came first, I was relieved. Don't worry, everyone. My army has always been strict in military discipline. Don't disturb the people, what you want to buy is a fair sale, and you won't bully others, and all the people are asked to supervise."

Everyone laughed and said: "With Chen Dutong's words, we can rest assured. Yusha County is a land of fish and rice, and it is quite rich. We will do our best to prepare food and grass."

Chen Qing nodded, "We are going to Hanyang, we need six or seven days of dry food, and the horses need fodder and black beans. We will get the food from the official warehouse first. If the food in the official warehouse is insufficient, we will buy it from the private sector."

"There must be enough food in the official warehouse, and [-] dans of forage should be enough. Black beans must be purchased from the private sector. In addition, we will purchase some cured meat and wind meat from the private sector for military rations."

"Then I would like to thank you all. I would like to ask you to contribute. We will pay for how much money is needed. There is no need for the government to pay in advance."

Feng Da smiled slightly, "You are welcome, I don't think it will cost much."

Chen Qing's army protected the people of the whole city, so they brought out some food to express their feelings, shouldn't they?
In an empty room, Yang Zaixing and Zhang Xiao reported the situation in Baling County to Chen Qing.

"When the enemy army attacked Baling County along the river, Commander Yang got the news and transferred all the military family members to Changde Mansion by boat. A large amount of property was transferred to the Treasure Cave in Junshan. Strong men assisted in defending the city, in fact, [-] puppet Qi troops arrived in Baling County three days earlier than us, and they surrounded the county town."

"Did you attack the city?" Chen Qing asked.

"There was a siege, but only a few thousand troops were sent. They attacked twice, and both sides suffered hundreds of casualties. In Commander Yang's words, it was just a show to force the city to seek help from Jiangling!"

"and then?"

"After the arrival of our [-] vanguard cavalry, the enemy immediately retreated to the Yangtze River, but did not leave until the second batch of troops led by Zhang Canjun arrived."

Zhang Xiao also said with a smile: "Our [-] cavalry pretended to be [-] cavalry, and we found another soldier who was somewhat similar to Du Tong, riding a white horse and carrying a wooden Fangtian painted halberd. The other party thought it was all coming, so they retreated that day."

"Like me? You can find a substitute."

Yang Zaixing said with a smile: "The appearance is very similar, but the demeanor is completely different. People who are familiar with Dutong can tell at a glance that the other party is a fake."

Chen Qing laughed, "Of course, a monster! The world must be unique."
