back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 95 The Great Victory
(I've been a little busy at work recently, and I may not be able to spare time to code words! I'm a little depressed, but don't worry, I update twice a day, and try my best to guarantee it! Please recommend some collections, because I'm not a professional writer, and it's hard to survive without support. There is support There is motivation!)

At this moment, the sky is not yet bright, but the moon has gone down to the west mountain.A cool wind blows across the plain.

Xiao Feng's heart is also cold at this moment. There are more than 6 elite Khitan soldiers, and now there are less than 1 left.Of these thousands of soldiers, not many had weapons, and most of them were still wounded.And the horses that the Khitan people relied on for their lives were almost lost.The horse that Xiao Feng was riding was still taken from the imperial guards.

Only now did Xiao Feng understand the helplessness and sorrow of the Overlord of Western Chu when he was defeated by Gaixia.But Xiao Feng will not commit suicide in Wujiang like Xiang Yu, because the Daliao behind him has not yet been defeated.

The defeated army marched listlessly, not knowing where they were going.Maybe go home?Almost all Khitan soldiers thought so.

Except for the war between Liao Kingdom and Dashun a hundred years ago, Liao Kingdom had never lost like this, and it was such a miserable loss.Are the Khitan warriors getting weaker, or the Dashun soldiers getting stronger?Or were they too superstitious about their achievements over the years, thinking that Dashun was just a two-legged sheep in their hearts, allowing them to bully them?
Now the retribution is coming, this big defeat, even if they fight Caogu hundreds of times, they still can't recover.The Khitan tribe has a small population, so they cannot recover their vitality immediately after losing so many soldiers.What's more terrible is that this Khitan army is still specially defending against the tribes in the northeast and north of the Liao Kingdom. If those alien tribes hear the news of the defeat, aren't they ready to move?

Xiao Feng thought for a long time, but he still couldn't get out of the haze of defeat.He really couldn't understand that the sneak attack of more than 6 Dashun troops could make more than [-] Khitan soldiers lose their positions and lose a lot.Those well-trained imperial troops left a deep memory on Xiao Feng.Especially the kind of crossbow that can penetrate the human body within a hundred steps, he was even more amazed.

When did Dashun's crossbow become so powerful?
When did Dashun's army prohibit it like this?

Xiao Feng couldn't figure it out, he seemed to have the responsibility to tell Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji that he was going to change his policy towards Dashun.In a country dominated by Han people, if they are serious, it is simply not something a country dominated by nomads can resist.The huge population alone is enough to make all nomads daunting.

While he was meditating, there was a dull sound of hooves behind him.All the Khitan soldiers turned around nervously, as if facing an enemy.They were really afraid of being beaten. It can be said that once they were bitten by a snake, they were afraid of well ropes for ten years.

But the person who came seemed to be in the clothes of the Khitan tribe, which calmed down the thousands of Khitan soldiers.When the person came closer, they realized that it was actually their coach, Yelu Zhongyuan!

Xiao Feng rushed up to meet him, and helped Yelu Chongyuan off the horse.Yelu Chongyuan was still in shock, and shouted, "Quick, save my son!"

Xiao Feng was taken aback, and said: "Didn't General Nerugu escape?"

Yelu Chongyuan seemed to have grasped at straws, he held Xiao Feng's armor tightly, and said: "Shun Jun can do demon magic, he can master demon magic! They have something like an iron rod in their hands, and spray it from inside. When the fire came out, people were killed all at once..."

Xiao Feng was taken aback, at first he thought Yelu Chongyuan was frightened and was talking nonsense.But it seems that Yelu Zhongyuan's thinking is quite clear, and it doesn't seem like he is talking nonsense.That is to say, there is also a weapon in Dashun's army that is similar to demon magic, which can kill people with fire?
Yelu Zhongyuan continued: "...I broke through with Nerugu, but I didn't expect that there was a Shun army ambushed by the roadside. There were about 600 people, and I couldn't see clearly in the dark. They killed many people at once. , my personal soldiers desperately sent me out of the siege, so that I could escape and meet you, General Xiao! However, my son Nerugu may have been murdered..."

Xiao Feng was silent, at the same time as the defeat, what hurt morale even more was the death of the general.Although Yelu Nerugu has well-developed limbs and a simple mind, his bravery is recognized by all Khitan warriors.

At this time, outside the burning Khitan barracks, more than ten thousand imperial guards were escorting the Khitan soldiers who surrendered, and they were reporting to Wang Shao with smiles on their faces.Just as Wang Shao was about to speak, he saw a cavalry troop jogging over in the distance.Looking at his clothes, Wang Shao knew it was a frontier soldier.

Wang Shao didn't care about watching the results of the battle, so he grabbed his horse's belly and went up to meet him.I saw the frontier general riding on the horse, majestic and majestic, holding a hemp knife on the back, the surface of the knife was covered with dark red blood.There is also a trace of blood, dripping from the gap between the knife.

The general over there handed the Mazha knife to the soldiers behind him and got off his horse.Wang Shao also got off his horse quickly, and the two of them clasped their hands together and said, "Youzhou guerrilla Zhu Daguang!"

"Wang Shao, Commander of the Forbidden Army!"

"Nice to meet you!"

Zhu Daguang sighed: "Commander Wang, I really didn't expect that you would come to the rescue, and unexpectedly, you won the battle."

Wang Shao said with a smile: "It's His Majesty who made up his mind not to allow the Khitans to run rampant like this again, and that's why the last general led [-] forbidden troops to seek opportunities for combat. Fortunately, he made a contribution in one fell swoop and lived up to his reputation."

Zhu Daguang had long been curious about the little emperor who had just ascended the throne for more than three years, and asked tentatively: "Commander Wang thinks, does the current emperor intend to counterattack the Khitan?" asked.

Wang Shao said with a smile: "Your Majesty's ambition is not limited to counterattack Khitan? I am afraid that if there is hope to unify the grassland, His Majesty will do it too. By the way, His Majesty has an oral order to tell the generals to listen to."

All the frontier soldiers got off their horses immediately and said in unison: "I respectfully hear the holy will!"

Wang Shao immediately announced the new rewards, new promotions, and new pension system formulated by Lu Chengqi himself, which immediately made the frontier army boil.On the contrary, the imperial guards were amused. If they were the same as before, they would definitely do the same.But now, they have become silent.

Wang Shao went on to say: "If there are qualified promotions, His Majesty will allow you to enter the Royal Military Academy for further studies. After entering the Royal Military Academy, you will be the emperor's disciples. If you are selected to go to the Supervision Department, you can also become the emperor's pro-army. In short, it is , There will be everything if you have military exploits!"

When the frontier army heard this, they cheered even more.Originally, their wish was to serve as soldiers for ten years, save some military pay, return to their hometown to marry a wife, and then buy two acres of poor land to live a poor life as a small farmer.But now it seems that their future is extremely bright!

After Wang Shao announced Lu Chengqi's oral order, he turned around and asked the captain next to him: "How about the casualties in this battle?"

The captain quickly replied: "Our army killed 550 people and injured 800 people, including 120 and 23 seriously injured. We captured 370 Khitan soldiers and killed [-] four."

Wang Shao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.He knew very early on that this battle was won, but he didn't know how it was fought or how the casualties were compared.In fact, the Khitan people would not have died so many. Most of their deaths were due to self-disorder, and their own people trampled their own people to death in the panic.There are also some who were burned to death by the fire, but that is a minority after all.

What distressed Wang Shao the most was the more than 1000 casualties of the imperial army.Although fighting, casualties are inevitable.But if one more soldier's life is saved, there will be one more veteran.In a strong army, the greatest wealth is not weapons and equipment, but veterans who have seen blood on the battlefield.They are often the true soul of an army, and it is the officers at all levels who hold these souls together, and the officers are the brains of the army.

Suddenly, Wang Shao remembered something and asked, "Has anyone seen the Musketeers?"

Musketeers is the name of the imperial army who all use strange weapons.Everyone didn't understand what the musketeers meant. They asked the guards holding strange weapons, but the guards of the musketeers all smiled mysteriously and never answered.

All the imperial guards shook their heads, and Wang Shao frowned.He had some doubts about Lu Chengqi's order. He was not allowed to interfere with the Musketeers' battle. What did this mean? Was it because he was afraid that he would not be able to command?If the musketeers that Lu Chengqi cares most about were wiped out, even if Wang Shao won the battle, Lu Chengqi probably wouldn't spare him.
