Chapter 158 Female Barracks(1/2)
Chapter 158 Female Soldiers Camp
Han Sui desperately grabbed a piece of squat that was crossing the city tower, and swung around in the air like a swing. The city tower under his feet had collapsed and now it had become a sea of red fire. The choking smoke and burning flames were running upwards, making him breathless.
"Horse, save me~~Save me~~"
Han Sui tried his best to call for help, but Ma Wan, who was so close to him, did not respond at all, and just stepped back desperately.
"Bolu~~"
The squat that crossed the broken wall suddenly rolled and began to tilt downwards. Han Sui was shocked, and he raised his last bit of effort and jumped up. Finally, he pounced on the cross section of the broken wall, barely grabbed Ma Play's calves, then raised his head and gasped, "Ma Play, hurry up~~ pull me up."
"Fuck you."
Ma Wan cursed, and not only did not pull Han Sui up, but instead kicked Han Sui ruthlessly on Han Sui's chin. Han Sui groaned and let go of his hands weakly, and his whole body fell down from the broken wall. In an instant, he was swallowed by the rolling smoke. In the hazy, Han Sui vaguely saw Ma Wan's hideous face.
"Boom boom boom boom~~"
Because of the long-term moxibustion, the fragile city walls could no longer bear the heavy pressure and collapsed one after another. In the splashing smoke and dust in the sky, the soldiers crowded on the city tower fell into the boiling rubble pile. Before these poor soldiers could get up from the rubble, the choking smoke and red flames rushed up again through the barrier of the rubble, and soon swallowed everyone.
The entire Meiji City has become a burning furnace, but the furnace is tempered with steel, but the burning here is people, living people!
Amid the endless wailing sounds, Pan Feng, who was exhausted, stood up desperately, but was soon stepped on by the straggler. When Pan Feng's face was pressed against the rubble, Pan Feng clearly felt a burning pain, and blue smoke rose from the side of his face. He could even hear the sizzling sound of the flesh on his face being scorched.
Pan Feng opened his mouth hard and tried hard to inhale a mouthful of air, but the burning heat in his chest did not relieve it, like a fire burning, exuding a suffocating boredom. In a trance, Pan Feng saw red flames running around him, like a burning sea of fire. Countless soldiers in Jizhou were struggling in the sea of fire, wailing~~
“Wow~”
Pan Feng moaned unwillingly, are you really going to die here? The next moment, a heavy darkness came, completely swallowing Pan Feng.
Luoyang, General's Mansion.
Xu You bowed to He Jin with fists and said loudly: "Xu You meets the general."
He Jin said: "Ziyuan, please get up quickly."
Xu You straightened his waist, stroked his beard and asked, "The General met with the summons late at night, I don't know what's important?"
He Jin said: "It's nothing big, I just worry about the Hetao War in my heart, and I want to invite Ziyuan to come and talk."
"Um~" Xu You nodded and said in a calm voice, "Calculate the time, Dong Zhuo, Geng Bi, Han Fu, Ding Yuan and other four armies should have already attacked Hetao at this time."
He Jindao: "Ziyuan thought, who will win the final victory in the Battle of Hetao?"
Xu You said: "Ma Yue is the only one!"
"Hmm?" He Jin said in a narrow voice, "Ziyuan is so sure?"
"I dare to use my head to guarantee it!" Xu You said firmly, "This horse will definitely win in this battle."
“Why?”
"Ma Yue has been through many battles and is cunning by nature. It is difficult for the world to reach. Jia Xu and Guo Tu are also treacherous and wise, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei and Tiger Wolf men to assist. I won't talk about these. There are two main reasons." Xu You shook his head and said, "Although Dong Zhuo, Geng Bi, Han Fu, Ding Yuan and others covet the Hetao land, they are unwilling to give up their original foundation, so it is impossible to invest all their troops to fight for Hetao! If you are distracted, it will inevitably be difficult to do your best. If the main general does not do your best, the three armies will find it difficult to use their lives. This is one of them."
“What about the second one?”
"Ma Yue regards Hetao as its foundation, and he will do his best in this battle, and this is the second one."
"Um~" He Jin nodded, "What Ziyuan said is not without reason."
Xu You changed his mind and continued, "But~~"
"But how?"
"But even if Ma Yuejun wins in the end, he may lose his troops and his generals and his vitality will be greatly damaged! And this is Your Majesty's true intention."
He Jin said in a narrow voice: "Your Majesty's true intention?"
Xu You said: "Your Majesty's real intention is to cause a melee between the major warlords in the north to weaken their strength and give the central government a chance to breathe. I think that no matter who occupied Hetao in the end, Your Majesty will reset Shuozhou and re-incorporate Shuofang and Dingxiang counties that had been abandoned into the territory of the Han Dynasty."
"Hmm? Shuozhou!" He Jin frowned, "Is this the governor of Shuozhou Ma Yue the one who said that?"
"No." Xu You shook his head and said, "From the following, the governor of Shuozhou can be Dong Zhuo or Ding Yuan, but it will never be Ma Yue!"
Luoyang Beigong, Han Ling Emperor's Sleeping Palace.
Empress He leaned into Liu Hong's arms and asked softly: "Emperor, what if Ma Yue won in the end?"
Liu Hong said: "Even if Ma Yue can win, he will lose his troops and his generals, and his vitality will be severely damaged. Moreover, I have dug a tomb for him, and as long as he dares to go, he will die! Let's take a step back, even if Ma Yue can escape this disaster, he has already formed a grudge with Dong Zhuo, Geng Bi, Han Fu and Ding Yuan."
"I have reset Shuozhou again and incorporated the six counties of Shuofang and Dingxiang into the Han territory. Later, I ordered Ding Yuan to be the governor of Shuozhou, Dong Zhuo to be the governor of Bingzhou, Geng Bi to be the governor of Jizhou, Han Fu to be the governor of Qiang, and Ma Yue to be the governor of Liangzhou."
Queen He said in confusion, "But Dong Zhuo, Han Fu, Geng Bi, Ding Yuan, and Ma Yue are the five who are in power and respect themselves. It has not been a day since they did not obey the imperial court's orders. I am afraid they will not listen to the emperor."
Liu Hong said: "Of course they won't listen to me! I don't expect them to obey. The reason why I issued these edicts was just to give them enough righteousness when they attack each other! If Ma Yue occupied Hetao and refused to let go, Ding Yuan would have a reason to attack him. Similarly, if Ding Yuan stayed in Bingzhou and refused to leave, Dong Zhuo would have a reason to attack him."
Queen He said: "But Your Majesty, doing so may trigger wars in the north and shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty."
Liu Hong sighed, "Don't I know, but this is a forced one. These five warlords have seriously threatened the prestige of the court. If they are not tried to remove them, they will become the source of chaos in the future. I must completely eradicate these five major disasters in my lifetime and pass on a peaceful and prosperous era to my prince."
Empress He said softly: "I understand that the emperor did this for the purpose of the Han Dynasty for generations and the perpetual inheritance."
Hetao, Meiji.
The carbon stone pawnshop finally burned out, and the fire that had been raging for two days and two nights was finally extinguished. The entire city had burned into a dark red ruin. Although the fire had been extinguished, the scorching heat wave had not subsided, and it was still difficult to extinguish within a hundred steps. As for the tens of thousands of people trapped in the city, there were 30,000 Liangzhou cavalry and more than 20,000 Jizhou soldiers, all of them were buried in the sea of fire and turned into ashes, and none of them escaped!
Poor Han Sui is also a hero of his generation, but unfortunately he met the horse butcher, and he was sad before he could show his talents.
"Hu~" Ma Yue breathed a long sigh and said lightly, "The Battle of Hetao~~ is over!"
Jia Xu continued, "Yes, it's over."
Guo Tu's eyes were filled with shock and said, "It's finally over."
Ma Yue slowly turned around, raised his right arm to the nine thousand soldiers behind him, and suddenly looked up at the sky and started to beat him: "Brothers~~ We won!!!"
"We won, wow~~"
"Win~~"
"Win~~"
"Win~~"
Xu Chu and Dian Wei roared first, then Gao Shun, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, then Jutu, Jia Xu and Guo Tu. Finally, all the soldiers, whether Han or Wuhuan, roared in the bottom of the sky. The sky and the earth were filled with loud and suffocating roars, and the tide-like enthusiasm was surging on the grassland, raging ~~
Among the noisy soldiers, there were two people who felt a different feeling.
One is Ju Su, who is the defeated general, and the cheers of the enemy were stabbed in his heart like a knife. The entire Jizhou army was destroyed, and he had an unshirkable responsibility! If, if Pan Feng obeyed Ju Su's persuasion and divided his troops outside the city, if~~Pan Feng was not angry and regarded Ju Su as the patrol captain~~
But facts are facts. No matter how many of them are meaningless, if they are defeated, the Jizhou army will indeed be defeated, and they will be defeated so thoroughly.
In addition to Ju Su, there is also a person who is also in a complicated mood. She is the Queen of Yue Zhi. After the Hu surrender of Yue Zhi, Nai Zhener Duo was forced to lead the 500 warriors of the clan to leap out of the battle with the horse, called "Going to the Battle", but in fact she acted as a hostage! With her queen's honor, she even had to serve in humiliation.
That night, horses leaped into the camp.
Guo Tu and Jia Xu went in together and bowed to Ma Yue. Ma Yue was cutting off a large piece of uncooked mutton and putting it in his mouth to chew it. While chewing, nodding to the two of them. Guo Tu straightened his waist and walked behind Ma Yue habitually. Jia Xu sat down on the opposite side of Ma Yue, reached out and tore off a lamb leg from the whole sheep placed on the table, and started gnawing happily.
Ma Yue gulped and swallowed the mutton in his mouth, picked up a few small pieces of mutton scraps scattered on the table and stuffed them into his mouth. Finally, he sucked his fingers covered with mutton fat into his mouth and sucked it soundly. Then he patted his hands and said to Jia Xu: "It's shameful to waste food."
Jia Xu held the lamb leg and chewed it all over his face, and said without saying a word in his mouth: "It's shameful, shameful~~"
Guo Tu bent down and said respectfully: "Lord, the losses of our army have been counted. Our army was injured in a total of more than 10,000 people before and after the Battle of Hetao, more than 6,000 of whom were killed. The 5,000 troops ordered to station in Meijicheng and General Liao Hua were all killed. Another 800 Wuhuan wolf cavalry and two hundred Han army cavalry were killed in a sandstorm."
Ma Yue looked sad and said sadly: "The death of Liao Hua and the loss of the five thousand troops are all blamed for the general's lack of thought. As for the thousand elite soldiers who died in the sandstorm, we also blame the general for not knowing the power of the enemy and underestimating the enemy to advance. Tomorrow, I will whip myself thirty in front of the soldiers of the three armies to serve as a warning to others."
"Uh~~" Jia Xu uh, almost choking a piece of mutton in his mouth to death. It took him a long time to swallow the mutton and gasp, "Please be punished together."
Guo Tu also said: "General Liao Hua's death is all the faults of Tu. Please punish the lord."
"Hey~~" Ma Yue stretched out his hand to stop the two of them, "It's not a very respectful thing to whip yourself in public, so you don't have to fight, right? Gong Ze, then talk about the losses of our army."
"As for the order." Guo Tu bent down and bowed, and continued, "In addition to the casualties of the soldiers, our army also lost almost all the food, supplies and 100,000 people, which is even more regretful that it is the ten thousand slaves. After this battle, the young and strong men under the rule of the lord were almost completely lost!"
Ma Yue's expression suddenly sank, and then he returned to normal, and said in a calm voice: "Summary."
Guo Tu said: "There are still 60,000 people under the rule of the lord, but most of them are women and children. Fortunately, millions of cattle, sheep and animals are not in Meiji City. They are lucky to be safe, and they can be safeguarded this winter.
Jia Xu said: "In other words, the source of troops under the lord's rule has been exhausted, and it is difficult for our army to expand in a short period of time! Although there are 10,000 elite soldiers and can conquer and fight well, they have too few troops after all, and they are more than enough to use them to protect them. If they divide the troops and attack, they are not enough. If they don't make a surprise plan, it is impossible to sweep the desert within four years."
Guo Tu said: "Yes, after this battle, the hatred between the lord, Geng Bi and Ding Yuan has been formed. Once the lord leads a large army to fight, the Bingzhou army and the Liangzhou army will definitely attack. If we join forces with the Xianbei people outside the frontier, our army will be difficult to deal with and the situation will be extremely unfavorable."
"That's not necessarily." Ma Yue's eyes flashed and he said in a narrow voice, "Although the male under this general is weak, the young and strong women have 50,000! No one has made it clear that only men can join the army. I want to risk the world's worst and form a battalion of female soldiers!"
“Uh~”
"ah?"
Jia Xu and Guo Tu were stunned at the same time and said, "Female soldier?"
"Not bad!" Ma Yue stood up and said in a narrow voice, "I have already thought about it. I have selected 10,000 female soldiers from the current 50,000 young women to form a female barracks. The general, the chief and deputy commander of the female barracks, have also chosen. They are Zou Yuniang, and the Queen of Yuezhi Naizhenerdo."
Guo Tu was stunned and still refused to think about it. However, Jia Xu had already applauded and praised it repeatedly: "Miscellaneous, wonderful, simply wonderful! In this way, when the lord's army set out to fight, the female barracks could be stationed in Hetao. As the saying goes, you can attack and retreat and defend. The best way to use troops is this."
Ma Yue walked out of the tent, looked up at the dark sky, and a trace of inexplicable coldness flashed through his black eyes, and said in a deep voice: "And~~~ There are still eight thousand elite soldiers in Lishi, Bingzhou! Those are real elite soldiers."
Jia Xu said in a narrow voice: "Does the lord mean Zhang Huan's eight thousand old subordinates?"
"good."
Ma Yue nodded heavily, and the small school who was afraid of danger and defeated Zhou Cang with one move. Although this soldier is an elite soldier, this general is also a good general!
Jia Xu said: "The angel sent by the court has been in Bingzhou for more than a month, but he has been staying in Lishi and refused to cross the river and come west. There must be another mystery."
Guo Tu also said: "Tu thought that the emperor must have wanted to lure the lord to Lishi to harm him."
