The king behind the empress

Chapter 476 Thousand Riders Break the City
Zheng Ying, the lord of Zheng Guo, became very cautious now because of the defeat of the Wei Guojun and the last words Xiao Yanbing left for him.

If Dazhou can show an overwhelming advantage, Zheng Ying, who thinks there is no hope, will not insist on dying for Zheng Guo.

Of course, if Mo Zizai showed the full strength of the Red Flame Dragonrider directly, it is estimated that the probability of Wu Lianghe's surrender is not small.

But from Mo Zizai to the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, they all ignored this choice tacitly, and they didn't have the slightest intention to recruit the barbarians.

As for the reason, it is very simple and cruel.

The catastrophe brought about by this cold wave was not only aimed at those places under the rule of the court of the Wei State, but also the three counties in Longbei occupied by the barbarians.

But the strange thing is that under the influence of the disaster, there is no shortage of food and grass in Longbei County, which was originally relatively barren. Even in this case, Wu Lianghe still has a lot of money and food. Go to bribe the officials of the defending country.

At that time, Mo Zizai felt that something was wrong with the situation, but because Da Zhou was busy with disaster relief and infrastructure construction, and had no time to take care of them, he sent a team of golden warriors as spies to investigate the situation.

As a result, the situation reported by those spies caused the court of Dazhou to boil.

The three counties in Longbei have a population of 400 million. In just three years, there are less than 200 million left.

You must know that the wars that occurred in the three counties of Longbei did not exceed half a year in total, and even if natural disasters were added to the half-year wars, it was impossible to wipe out the population of more than 200 million at once.

Therefore, it is natural to know what happened to the disappearing 200 million people.

It is precisely because of this that there is no voice of opposition from the top and bottom of the Great Zhou court, and they all agree to use troops against the barbarians.

After Mo Zizai, who was in charge of foreign wars, decided to fight, Da Zhou, a behemoth that had been cultivated for three full years, quickly started to operate.

Because the barbarians are not defending the country, they belong to the invading country, so beating them is a righteous act, and it is not even necessary to declare war in advance to find a righteous name for yourself.

"We don't need too many people this time."

Mo Zizai thought for a while, and then said: "Yanzhang, you take ten thousand red flame dragonriders and go ahead with me. After breaking through Wanling Pass, you don't need to stay, and go straight to the capital of Weiguo."

"As for the rest of the finishing work, just leave it to Yu Zhijun."

From Mo Zizai's point of view, [-] Chiyan Dragonriders and [-] Imperial Army were enough to destroy the barbarians.

"The strength is enough, but the quantity is a bit small."

Yang Weishang pondered for a moment, and then added: "After all, the territory of the Wei State is not small, and the [-] Imperial Army alone will definitely not be able to take care of it."

"So, the old minister feels that there is nothing important about controlling my Great Zhou now, so it's better to transfer another 30 Shenwei troops."

"There's no need for them to fight. Your lord, if you take down a city, they will take it over."

"In addition, the veteran will also select some capable officials and send them to the cities that have been occupied, so as to avoid any troubles that will affect the people."

Regardless of whether it was Yang Weishang or Mo Zizai, neither of them took the barbarians to heart now, and skipped the step of going to war, and began to worry about the safety of their future people.

"Elder Ge is right."

Mo Zizai nodded approvingly, then he thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, when sending officials over, I will send some people from the East Factory to assist them."

The people who transferred the East Factory to follow those officials did not mean that Mo Zizai could not trust the people selected by Yang Weishang, but that Mo Zizai wanted to implement the New Deal in one step, so that those officials would be benevolent and love the people to appease the people, while those in the East Factory Its function is to act as a knife, cutting off those who do not cooperate.

To put it bluntly, one is a red face and the other is a bad face. The officials represent the meaning of the court, while Dongchang represents Mo Zizai.

Anyway, Mo Zizai is quite used to being a "wicked person" now, and he doesn't care about making a name for himself in Weiguo.

After saying this, Mo Zizai seemed to think of something, paused, and then said: "Also, this time, let's take the crime camp and the first boarding camp with us."

"Let's lead the army to the capital to deal with Wu Lianghe, and go to the camp and sin camp first, and go directly to Longbei County."

The crime camp and the first boarding camp are all about murder and arson. Although there has been no war in the past three years in Dazhou, they have killed dozens of times more people than Dongchang, which is responsible for all kinds of dirty things. .

But now Mo Zizai's intention to send the most lethal army to Longbei County, the stronghold of the barbarians, is self-evident.

Although the ministers in the imperial study had always felt that the two armies were too murderous, when they heard that Mo Zizai was going to send them to Longbei County, no one objected. They all nodded and said: "feasible."

The Great Zhou Dynasty Hall, after undergoing a major change of blood, now acts vigorously and vigorously. The household department spent three days raising food and grass, and then the Red Flame Dragon Knight and the Yuzhi Army directly arrived at the Eastern Territory via the steam train.

In addition to Yang Yanzhang who was in charge of the army, Mo Zizai also brought Tang Weilu and Zhou Qi with him.

……

In the east, Xunyang City.

Zhang Yuan, who had guarded here for several years, felt a little helpless when he saw the Chiyan Dragonrider who was overwhelmed so overwhelmingly that he could hardly breathe.

I have been cultivating for a lifetime, and I can only step into the golden body when I am over half a hundred years old. As a result, the strength of any soldier now can compare with my own back then, so there is no reason for this.

But fortunately, this army is on his side, otherwise, it would be even more desperate.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan showed a smile on his face, and then said to Mo Zizai: "Zhenyuan Hou Zhangyuan, I have seen the prince."

"Your Excellency is polite."

In the past few years of disaster relief, Mo Zizai also came to Xunyang City with the Chiyan Dragon Rider, so he is no stranger to Zhang Yuan. I have received the decree from the previous few days, so I won’t repeat it any more.”

"The Eastern Border will be handed over to Lord Hou to guard it. I will take the Red Flame Dragon Knight to the Guardian Council to meet those uncivilized barbarians."

"Alright."

If it were Zhang Yuan when he was young, he would have to ask for orders to go together, but now that he is old, and this is basically a battle of crushing, there is no suspense about the outcome, so he doesn't bother to get involved, "My lord Do you need to rest in Xunyang for a few days?"

"No need, soldiers are precious and fast."

With the current strength of the Chiyan Dragonriders, they would basically not get tired, so Mo Zizai didn't bother to take a rest, and said directly: "This king will take them to set off immediately, and it will be good for Master Hou to appease the people."

"clear."

Zhang Yuan nodded and watched Mo Zizai lead his army away. After a while, he just shook his head.

"I really didn't expect that the kid who I thought could only mess around back then would actually bring me such a big surprise now."

"If his father knew about this, his jaw would not drop in shock."

Zhang Yuan stroked his beard, thinking of Mo Congyi's evaluation of Mo Zizai back then, he couldn't help but find it quite interesting, but thinking that Mo Congyi had been dead for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, "It's a pity, that kid has a short life, he died It's too early, he can't see such a good son."

……

After Xunyang City, there is Wuguan, which was originally taken down by Mo Congyi, and it was regarded as the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Unfortunately, after Tang Shuyu's death, it was taken back by the Three Kingdoms.

Originally, the coalition forces of the three countries were stationed here, and there were no fewer than 30 troops all year round.

But now, in order to show favor to Da Zhou, Zheng Ying took the initiative to withdraw his troops back. Coupled with the outbreak of civil strife in the former Wei Kingdom, there are only 10,000+ people stationed in Wuguan now.

"My lord, how to fight."

After arriving at Wuguan, Yang Yanzhang looked at Mo Zizai with a smile. He didn't want to ask Mo Zizai how to break through the level, but how he wanted to win.

Mo Zizai looked at the city wall with a height of more than ten feet, feeling a little pity in his heart, but in the future when Da Zhou conquered the Three Kingdoms, this Wuguan lay here, which somewhat hindered the traffic, so he directly let the red flame dragon ride choose the most shocking one. The way.

"The Scarlet Flame Dragon Knight is like a martial artist who has cultivated in seclusion. Now that he has achieved great feats, how can he not show it off?"

"Crush the city directly!"

"Here!"

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Yang Yanzhang regained his energy in an instant, and he shouted excitedly: "Red Flame Dragon Knight, smash the city!!!"

The Chiyan Dragonrider has been cultivating quietly for three years, and if he makes a move now, it will naturally be earth-shattering.

"Here!"

Among the Red Flame Dragonriders' team, the 1000 strongest members immediately lined up, followed behind Yang Yanzhang, and began to charge.

In the past three years, apart from their cultivation, the strength of the Red Blood Dragon Cong under them has also doubled several times. Today, the Red Blood Dragon Cong's body is covered with red scales.

Now that Qianqi is charging, coupled with the crimson armor on these cavalry, it feels like a red torrent.

"kill!"

The Crimson Flame Dragonriders rushed forward like thunder, facing the rain of arrows that fell like dark clouds, and had no intention of dodging at all. Even if the rain of arrows was mixed with many throwing stones and city-breaking crossbows, they could not delay their charge at all. speed.

Those who fell on them to attack, to them, seemed like real raindrops, and they were directly pushed away by them.

Considering the speed of the Red Blood Dragon Cong, the distance from the charge to the city wall is almost instantaneous. Facing the thick city wall in front of him, the Red Flame Dragon Knight not only did not have the slightest intention to stop the charge, but He raised the scarlet spear in his hand.

"What do they want to do?"

The general of Wuguan originally thought that Mo Zizai was really stupid for attacking the city with cavalry.

Then before he could laugh at him, he was startled by the speed of the Red Flame Dragonriders. Immediately afterwards, he saw that those Red Flame Dragonriders were about to rush under the city wall, and they didn't even intend to slow down at all. It made him a little confused.

Are these cavalry looking for death?Hitting the city wall at such a high speed, that's not the end of the people and horses. "What are these cavalry thinking, do they think they are all golden?"

As soon as this idea came into the mind of the general of the Wuguan, he saw Qianqi Chiyanlongriding raised the spear in his hand, and then shouted loudly: "Break!"

"Break? Break what?"

The guard of Wuguan was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a loud "boom" from under his feet. Then, he felt like an earthquake. The city wall under his feet began to shake instantly, and then the bricks and stones shook Splash, the entire city wall crumbling.

"Run, the city wall is about to collapse!"

Seeing this scene, the guard of Wuguan shrank his pupils. He could no longer think about what the Red Flame Dragonrider was doing. With a sudden force on his feet, he jumped up from the city wall.

As soon as he jumped into the air, the city wall had already collapsed. Most of the soldiers on the city wall had no time to escape, and were basically buried alive by the city wall.

And the guard of Wuguan, who jumped into the air in time, actually saw the red flame dragonriders who charged just now appear inside the city wall.

"They...they..."

The guard of Wuguan was so frightened that he almost stopped thinking. In his mind, there is only one thought now, that is, these red flame dragonriders actually forcibly pierced through the city wall?
"how can that be?"

The city wall of Wuguan is seven or eight meters thick. How could they break through the city wall in an instant with their mortal bodies, "Could it be that they are all in the golden body state?"

The Wuguan guard couldn't help but think of the sarcasm he said just now, if they were all at the golden body level, how could they smash the city wall in an instant?

He borrowed his strength to get on top of a brick flying towards him, jumped a little higher again, and then found a section of the city wall that had not completely collapsed to stand still, and then he saw that the remaining red flame dragons The rider also began to charge.

Facing these collapsed city walls, those cavalrymen walked on the ground as if they were on the ground, and were not affected by the collapsed city walls at all. They stepped on the gravel and rushed into the city without any scruples, without any intention of paying attention to them, the surviving soldiers.

"This……"

The Wuguan guard, who was ignored, didn't know whether he should feel lucky or sad now.

The two armies were at war, and the opponent didn't even have the intention to attack them. What kind of contempt was this, and what made him feel even more uncomfortable was that the opponent did have the right to despise them.

"That's it, that's it."

The guard of Wuguan threw away the weapon in his hand, unable to raise the will to resist, "Anyway, the country of Wei is gone, let them go."

If Wei Guo is still there, even if he knows that he is invincible, he will fight desperately, even if he dies for the country, he will not hesitate.

But now that Weiguo is gone, why is he still working so hard?

Mo Zizai and the others didn't pay attention to the general's intentions, they just broke through the level and didn't care about accepting the surrender.

Now that Wuguan has no city walls, there is no capital for defense, so they don't even have the intention of taking down these soldiers, so they just pass through the city and go straight to the next pass.

After they left, the Yuzhi Army and the Shenwei Army rushed to them, and after leaving behind the soldiers who took over Wuguan, the rest did not stop, and continued to catch up with the Red Flame Dragonriders.

After breaking through Wuguan, the Chiyan Dragonriders broke through five cities in a row according to the previous method.

Along the way, the Chiyan Dragonriders were like gods of war, and no one could stop them. In just one day, they forcibly penetrated the six counties in the eastern border.

And after breaking through the six counties, the Chiyan Dragonrider directly pointed at the capital of Weiguo.
