Chapter 548 Entering Xiazhou

At the end of the war, the Donghu people cleaned up the battlefield with exhausted expressions, and carried the corpses of the Hengshan Army out of the city and resettled them.At this time, the people of Donghu were a little confused. The resistance in such a small city was so fierce. If they invaded Xiazhou, what would happen?

Wu Nusutu and Zhou He, who stayed in the defense mansion, looked at the battle report sent, and their faces suddenly turned ugly.In order to take this small city, the army lost more than 7000 people.You must know that their cavalry are all elite cavalry of the Tianmeng Empire. They have participated in the battle of exterminating the golden wolf, quelling civil strife, and going south to Yanzhou. They are not comparable to a local garrison.What's more, the regular army in this small city only has 5000 troops, and the rest are just young men recruited temporarily.

However, after they searched the whole city, they discovered that this small city actually hides huge wealth.When they found the bags of fine salt piled up like mountains, they couldn't help shaking with excitement.

This is salt, a daily necessities that grassland people long for and rarely obtain.Back then when they were in the old forest of Senshan Mountain to the east, a small bag of salt was enough to cause a brutal fight between tribes.Even if they swept across the entire grassland, facing the blockade of the Central Plains people, it would be difficult to obtain enough salt to supply the needs of the tribe.Only after going south to Yanzhou did they loot a large amount of salt.Now in the small city of Hengshan, there is such a huge amount of fine salt hoarded.If entering Xiazhou, wouldn't it be like entering a land of wealth?
It's worth it, it's worth it!Unusutu's hands trembled, and the regret for the heavy casualties before did not exist anymore.

Zhou He recovered from the shock, and immediately said pleasantly: "General, that's great. With so much fine salt, our army's expedition this time will be quite profitable, which will be very beneficial to revive the morale of the army. Previously The setback in the battle has a great impact on the morale of the army, and this salt can just be used to tell the soldiers the benefits of our going south. With such a huge profit, how can the army not be inspired by it?"

Unusutu laughed loudly, "Yes, yes, our army will be able to plunder innumerable wealth this time, and everyone will be able to return with a full reward."

Soon, Zhou He ordered people to carry out the bags of fine salt and publicized to the whole army that everyone would get a bag of fine salt as a reward for this southward expedition.

This move caused a sensation in the whole army. When everyone got their own bag of fine salt, they couldn't help crying.This is salt, enough for the family to eat for several years. Even if it is sold, it can be exchanged for dozens of sheep or a few strong horses.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou He ordered people to spread rumors that Xiazhou is the foundation of Hengshan Mountain, and there are countless wealth in it.Now Hengshan's army is almost gathered in the north of Xiayang Mountain, being restrained by His Majesty, they cannot go south at all.Xia Zhou is now a helpless Gu Liang who is at the mercy of others.

Infected by this remark, the Donghu people's blood boiled immediately, their low morale immediately soared, and they wanted to enter Xiazhou as soon as possible.

Early the next morning, the Donghu people who hadn't rested for too long rushed out of Salt Lake City, and nearly [-] cavalry rolled southward, stirring up dust all over the sky.

The time was too short, and when the messengers sent by Salt Lake City arrived in Ningxia County to report the enemy's situation, the Donghu people who came after them had already entered the west bank of Xiashui, quickly broke through the Xiashui camp, and wiped out thousands of Hengshan stationed here military.

When Liu Xi, the governor of Ningxia, and the captain were recruiting young men to join the army, preparing to fight against the enemy.The Donghu people have already crossed the Xiashui, and the cavalry all over the mountains and plains ravaged the villages and counties.

At this time, all townships and counties caught in the ravages of the Donghu organized township brave young and strong to protect their homes.At this time, the coaches and inspections of various places served by disabled retired soldiers began to play a role.They quickly organized villages and towns to move the villagers to dangerous places, or resettle them in nearby counties.Then unite with one place, gather all the soldiers who can fight, and gather danger and defend.

After the Donghu people entered Xiazhou, in order to maximize the looting, they had already divided up countless troops, burning, killing and looting everywhere.But when a small group of cavalry encountered a village that was gathering danger and defending it, they were powerless and could only go to other places to plunder.Only when encountering a large group of cavalry, will the weak village be breached.

Even so, after some looting, the Donghu people were pleasantly surprised to find that Xiazhou was indeed a fast treasure land. They only plundered some surrounding towns, and their income exceeded the income of ordinary county towns in Yanzhou.If you win the county seat, or the county seat, wouldn't everyone be able to return home with a full reward?
As a result, the Donghu people became even more crazy, and an army of [-] quickly spread to the entire territory of Ningxia County, broke through several county towns, and soon came under the county town.

At this time, there were only 3 defenders in the county city, and with the addition of the young and strong recruited temporarily, there were only more than [-] people.Fortunately, these young men have all experienced military training, and many of them came from the reserve service, and quickly adapted to the management of the army.However, although these people have some military literacy, they have never been on the battlefield after all, and it is still unknown whether they can fight.

Just as the Donghu soldiers were besieging Ningxia County, the news of the Donghu invasion of Xiazhou was quickly sent to Tongwan City.

When Han Song saw this information, his face turned pale, and he almost fainted. Now there are only about [-] soldiers and horses in Xiazhou, all of which are stationed in various counties.A hundred thousand troops from Donghu invaded, how should Xiazhou resist?
Just as Han Song was feeling anxious, Dong Zhongqing, the Secretary of the Executive Yuan, stood up and said, "My lord, at this critical moment, why not activate the general mobilization order for Hengshan?"

"General mobilization order?" Han Song was slightly taken aback, and said rather embarrassed, "But this order, only adults have the power to execute it. How can we go beyond it?"

"My lord, how can we care about these things at this time?" Dong Zhongqing said eagerly, "The President is now in the north, and it is too late to send a message at this time. The people of Hengshan are being tortured by the Donghu people. It is extremely urgent, and we must organize troops to resist as soon as possible. I think that even the Duke of the Kingdom will agree with the general mobilization order."

"You're right, I thought too much." Han Song felt ashamed when he heard the words, and nodded immediately, "Zhongqing, you should immediately activate the general mobilization order by order of the Executive Yuan, notify all counties and counties, and order Xiazhou The young and strong from all over the country were unconditionally recruited into the army, each with their own food, grass and weapons, and came to the city to join them. At the same time, it was ordered that all localities, regardless of whether they were scholars, farmers, businessmen, or businessmen, should have the responsibility of guarding the land. They should do their best to help our army repel the Donghu people. "

"I obey!" Dong Zhongqing was overjoyed, and immediately went to make arrangements.

Soon, a general mobilization order spread to all parts of Hengshan.All of a sudden, countless young men put down their affairs, went home one after another, took off their bows and knives, took out their horses, bid farewell to their families, got on their horses amidst the cries of their relatives, and joined the conscription office.Afterwards, groups of cavalry set off from various places in Hengshan, all marching towards Tongwan City.
