Horse on the World

Chapter 864 Occupation
Zhong Ziqi's estimate was correct. At sunrise on the third day after King Ning left, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside Fukang City. First, a cavalry soldier holding the Dingzhou military flag appeared in the field of vision. Behind the cavalry, black cavalry swept over, thousands of horseshoes trampled on the ground, rolled up gray dragons, covering the sky and the sun.

It was Lu Dalin's red cavalry who came across the sea. After landing in Padang, they let their horses rest for a day. Lu Dabing immediately swung his troops straight to Fukang. The cavalry rushed here at the fastest speed, trying to intercept more people and supplies from King Ning's retreat here.
The red cavalry yelled happily, waving their scimitars, holding up their bayonets, countless flags fluttering in the wind, and rushed towards Fukang like overwhelming.

The resounding sound of the trumpet sounded from the flag of the Chinese Army Lu Zi, and the red cavalry who were rushing forward pulled the reins vigorously, and the speed began to slow down, and the sound of the horn kept changing. They also began to change their formations. From the beginning of chaos, the mountains and plains poured down like a torrent, and they became rows and rows of teams. As they moved forward, the curved teams began to become orderly. , When they arrived at the Lixu land under Fukang City, the red cavalry had stopped advancing. At this time, they had become a conical offensive lineup of cavalry with strict military appearance.It was Lu Dabing's general Tuotuo who acted as the arrow. Behind Tuotuo, the second wave of attacking lineup was led by Lali Lata.
The military flag of King Ning is still flying on the top of the Fukang city, but there is no guarding soldier on the top of the city, but the huge noise in the city can be clearly heard, but unfortunately, that is not the mobilization before the war, but It's a mess.
The city gate was wide open, and on both sides of the city gate, there were still countless carriages overturned. The horses pulling the carts had been untied and ridden away, leaving only the carriages standing crookedly there.In the faintly visible damaged box are bundles of silk and satin.
Lu Dabing originally thought that there would be a battle in Fukang, and he ran all the way from Badong, and there were people fleeing everywhere. He didn't know much about Dingzhou and Ningzhou people. He only knew that they were a barbarian tribe who defeated the murderers on the grassland and conquered This time, the vanguard troops who came to Ningzhou were the barbarian cavalry who surrendered to Dingzhou. The fear of the barbarians overcame their nostalgia for their homeland. Many people dragged their sons and daughters and prepared to flee into the mountains with King Ning According to the legend, the barbarians are beasts that cannibalize human flesh and gouge out people's hearts. Since the people of Dingzhou can defeat them, aren't they even more vicious than them?

Fukang is the last stronghold of Ningzhou's great retreat. It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of young men gathered here from all over the country, and the supplies are piled up like mountains. Lu Dabing originally thought that such an important stronghold, the other party would definitely die He held on to cover the retreat of the main force, but he didn't expect that when he reached the gate of the city, it turned into an empty city without a single soldier.

After getting away, a cavalryman galloped out, with the light of his knife shining, he split open the bag that fell from an overturned carriage in front, and the white rice immediately flowed out, and then moved forward, split the roof of a carriage, The inside is full of silk and satin.
Tuotuo turned around and looked at the banner of the Chinese army. If he wanted to enter the city, he needed to get orders from Lu Dabing. Just as Lu Dabing was about to give an order, his eyes narrowed again. From the gate of the city, a person was rushing out.

After getting away, two cavalry galloped out immediately, the scimitars in their hands gleamed coldly in the sun, while the man ran, he took out something from his pocket and held it up high, "Don't do it, your own, your own. "

Two cavalrymen ran up to the visitor, and with a beautiful roundabout, the visitor was sandwiched between them, pointing forward with the scimitar.

"Don't do it, your own people!" The visitor shouted, "I am an agent of the Dingzhou Supervisory Council."

The cavalry broke through, and Lu Dabing's central army banner moved forward. When he saw the iron plate held by the visitor, two red cavalry followed the visitor, one left and one right, and ran towards Lu Dabing.

"A spy from the Ningzhou Branch of the Dingzhou Supervisory Council, knock on General Lu!"
Lu Dabing blocked the horsewhip in his hand, and blocked the sign back, "I know, tell me, what's going on in the city? Where's the southern army?"

The visitor stood up and said respectfully, "Return to General Lu, last night, the last garrison troops of the Southern Army had abandoned the city under the leadership of Zhong Ziqi. Once the Southern Army left, no one in the city had time to withdraw into the mountains." Min Zhuang, Dingkou disperses in a rush, the city is in a mess now, many Ding Zhuang who hadn't had time to leave and the residents of Fukang who were originally Fukang are looting the supplies abandoned by King Ning here, they have completely lost order, murder, robbery and rape, chaos In a ball, the villain managed to escape."

"Zhong Ziqi?" When Lu Dabing heard this, he couldn't help feeling remorseful, the son of a bitch, if he had known he was here, he would have rushed here yesterday instead of resting all night, and let this big The fish slipped away from under his nose.

"I also ask General Lu to quickly send troops into the city to maintain order. In order to prevent the situation from completely getting out of control, at this time, there are still more than [-] local people and foreigners in Fukang City. If it is completely chaotic, it will inevitably cost a lot of money." The spy said.
Lu Dabing nodded, "Lari Rata."
Lari Rata responded. "The end is here!"

"Speed ​​your troops into the city. First, protect all the supplies. These are the trophies of our Dingzhou. If that bastard dared to snatch them, I chopped off his head."

"Second, announce that Fukang will enter martial law immediately, and set up ten big drums on the top of the city. After the three drums are played, those who have not returned home will be killed. Those who have not returned to their camps will also be killed. Nothing."
Lu Dabing said murderously.
"Decree!" Lalilata clasped his fists and immediately led the team into Fukang County.
"Tuo Tuo, that military flag is so dazzling, take it off for me and replace it with our military flag!" Lu Dabing said.

"Yes!" Tuotuo knocked on the horse's belly, and led the team into the city.
A moment later, on the top of Fukang City, the flag of King Ning fell, and the flag of Dingzhou Army began to fly high.
Ding dong dong, the first round of drums began to sound, and at the same time, Dingzhou cavalry galloped through the city while announcing Lu Dabing's general order loudly.

"Let's go, we're going into the city too!" Lu Dabing lifted the reins lightly, "Tell me about Fukang's situation in detail, as well as the situation of the Southern Army's retreat!"

The secret agent took a step forward and held the reins for Lu Dabing. While marching into the city, he began to introduce the specific situation of the Southern Army to Lu Dabing in detail in the past few days.

There were bloodstains everywhere in the city, some places even started to emit thick smoke, it was obvious that someone was setting fire to it, and at the same time, the nearly 10 people living in the city also gave Lu Dabing a headache, these people didn't like Dingzhou soldiers very much, and the ten Most of the more than ten thousand people were young and strong. Before they could evacuate in time, they were blocked by Lu Dabing in the city. If it falls, a raging fire will ignite.
Knowing the situation in the city, Lu Dabing gave up his thoughts of chasing the southern army and tried his best to stabilize the situation in the city. Through the local power of the Overwatch Council, he first found some famous people in Fuchun and organized them to appease the local people. The people also found a group of people who could convince the crowd from the young and strong camp to form a temporary management organization, and promised that after the situation was stabilized, they would pay travel expenses, allow them to return home freely, and guarantee their life safety during their temporary residence in Fukang. As well as the supply of food, after more than ten days of hard work, Beverly finally calmed down.
However, this also made Lu Dabing exhausted. Dealing with these matters was more exhausting than killing the enemy in battle. Fortunately, the work of the Dingzhou Supervisory Council here was very effective and had a lot of potential power, otherwise Lu Dabing would really have no way to start.

Ten days later, Tian Feng led Wei Xin's stormy bear camp, and Guo Quanfeng left the camp and arrived in Fukang. Immediately, Tian Feng ordered Wei Xin to lead his troops to Ningzhou to take over the southern central city that had been abandoned by King Ning. The Red Cavalry immediately set off and rushed to Dengzhou, while Guo Quan's Fengli Battalion was stationed in Fuchun on the spot to prevent King Ning from retreating to the Hundred Thousand Mountains from attacking him. Wang matters.

Going into the mountains to fight King Ning should be done sooner rather than later. If King Ning takes root in the [-] mountains and subdues all the Qiang people, then it will be fun. A hundred thousand mountains will be an army of hundreds of thousands If you sprinkle it in, it will disappear without a trace. Right now, taking advantage of the opponent's unsteady foothold, he will follow closely and catch up, maybe there is still a chance to take advantage of it.
At the end of May, Wei Xin arrived in Ningzhou Xiaowai. The gentry who did not escape from Ningzhou organized people to go to Weixin's military camp to work as soldiers, and welcomed the Dingzhou army to enter the city on behalf of Ningzhou. Ningzhou City, the central city in the south, was run by King Ning The city that has been around for decades has fallen into the hands of Dingzhou.

In mid-June, Guo Quan marched all the way and arrived at Dengzhou City almost without any strong resistance. Like Ningzhou, Dengzhou City surrendered without a fight. Lu Dalin entered Dengzhou, and at the same time, Luoyang troops were stationed In Bozhou, [-] troops stared closely at Lu Dabing's headquarters in Bozhou. Without showing any weakness, Lu Dabing led his troops to the Dengbo border to confront the enemy.

At the end of June, Lu Dalin led the main force to enter Dengning, and immediately without stopping, Chang Liqing, Xiong Jiwang, He Ping, Jin Chao, Li Shanbin, and Tian Xinyu's tribes entered Dengzhou with nearly 10 troops, and Luoyang immediately increased its troops.
Ningzhou, this place has become Lu Dalin's Xingyuan garrison. The cautious Lu Dabing did not want to live in King Ning's magnificent palace in the city, so he chose the original wolf cave of Zhong Ziqi as his Xingyuan. Before Ningzhou knew the state, Lu Dalin had to shoulder the responsibility of knowing the state. Ningzhou passed through the madness when King Ning retreated, and his vitality was severely damaged. The private property and food were almost looted. However, now that summer has just entered, and there are still several months until the autumn harvest, Li Qing has to squeeze some out of the already tight rations in the Dingzhou jurisdiction to support the food during this period, which also greatly limits Lu Dalin's original ability. Battle plan, he had to stop.
