Chapter 171 - Chang'an
"Your majesty, this is Wan Yanhuonv!" Wang Shu pointed to Wan Yanhuonv's corpse.
"I know him! At the time of our wedding, he was the envoy of the Nvzhen! "Back then, he was arrogant and despotic. It had only been half a year and he had already died in front of me!" Zhao Chen sneered.
On the day of Zhao Chen's wedding, Wan Yanhuonv had also come! Zhao Chen did not speak with Wan Yanhuonv, but he saw the disdain in Wan Yanhuonv's eyes! He knew that this man was Wanyan Loushi's son, and that Wan Yanhuonv had died, so Wanyan Loushi was very sad, but she would definitely come for revenge! Zhao Chen was naturally not afraid! Not to mention Wanyan Loushi, even Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, or even Wan Yanwuqimai, weren't any big deal. Those were all targets that he would kill in the future!
The battlefield slowly quieted down!
Female true disciples and Qi Dan people had all been killed, the Royal soldiers was tidying up the battlefield!
After a short while, Yue Fei, Zhao Zhe and the rest also received military news, saying that the other girls from the other places had all been wiped out, and not many managed to escape!
Adding in the 10,000 people that Yue Fei had let go of from the very beginning, there would definitely not be more than 15,000 female True and Qi Dan people who had fled! This battle could be said to be a huge victory!
Wang Shu had been in a panic before, but now that he had recovered from the fright, he was exceptionally excited. He jumped down from his horse and knelt in front of Zhao Chen, saying: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Whether it was the two emperors or the traitor Emperor Kang, neither of them had been able to defeat the female real person! His Majesty had killed tens of thousands of women from Fengxiang Residence to Fu Feng County! After this battle, His Majesty Wu Yong will be known to the world! "
Zhao Chen was also abnormally excited in his heart. He also jumped down from the horse, pulled Wang Shu up, and said: "This is the result of the combined efforts of the soldiers.
At this moment, not only were the two of them cheering and celebrating, all the soldiers in Managed were cheering and celebrating! No one had thought that they would be able to defeat the female true master so easily before the battle began! Now, the Fengxiang Residence had eliminated 10,000 female experts, and this time, more than 40,000 of them had joined forces with the Priestesses. The fruits of the war had far surpassed their expectations before the battle. This was the first time that the Chinese had achieved such a great victory since the invasion of Luozhen!
"After the war is over, we will head west immediately to Chang'an! Chang An, we have to win this battle! " Zhao Chen said excitedly.
Changan was different from other places. From the Qin Dynasty onwards, this was the capital of the Chinese people! The Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were the political hubs here! Even in the Song Dynasty, this was still the center of Guan Shan, the number one city of the Guan Shan! Chang An was an extraordinary significance, it was a landmark city. After taking down Chang An, whether it was Middle Han Area, Chuan Shu or Jiangnan, they would all be shaken!
When noon arrived, the Imperial Guards, Jingyuan Army and the Tsinghua Army finally finished tidying up the battlefield. They had obtained countless weapons and horses, and no one needed to talk about their excitement!
The army began to count the casualties! This casualty made everyone sad!
The number of casualties in the Imperial Guard once again exceeded five thousand. Adding the casualties in the Fengxiang Residence, the Imperial Guard had lost close to ten thousand people! As for the Jingyuan Army s, Tsinghua Army s, they were purely taking advantage of this time, and actually lost more than ten thousand people! The Nvzhen was truly too ferocious. Even though they were surrounded, they were still able to kill many of the soldiers from the Jingyuan Army! Zhao Zhe, Liu Qi and the rest were feeling gloomy!
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, everyone was stunned!
There has never been such a move in ancient China! Soldiers had a lowly status. If they died, they died. Who else would care about the dead soldiers other than their families?
"Your Majesty, if you say so, we can't wait to die on the battlefield!" Before the high-ranking officers could say anything, the surrounding soldiers had already fallen to their knees, shouting out in excitement!
"All of you, hurry up and get up. You are fighting for the country and dying for the country. Aren't you supposed to do this?" Zhao Chen said.
The surrounding soldiers stood up, but they were still extremely excited! Some people had already quietly retreated, spreading the news! Very quickly, the surrounding hundred thousand soldiers all began to boil with excitement! They died for their country, and their country would never forget their contribution. They sacrificed their lives for the warriors who died, and this was something they did not even dare to think about, yet Zhao Chen did it!
"Your majesty, I am impressed with your benevolence and righteousness!" Yue Fei was also abnormally excited as he asked.
Yue Fei loved his soldiers like his sons. The only thing he could do was to give a few more pensions, but he had never thought of giving honor to a soldier who had died in battle! Right now, Zhao Chen's way of doing things made him feel that it could not be any better!
"These people who sacrificed their lives for the nation, not only must the imperial government remember them, the people of Song Dynasty must also remember them! In the future, as long as the Chinese manage the government, we must not forget them! Send someone to collect their bodies and transport them to their hometown! In addition, write down their names and places of origin. These will all be recorded in the Loyal Temple in the future! Let's set off immediately and head for Chang'an! " Zhao Chen said.
"Yes sir!" The surrounding officers all agreed!
In the afternoon, the army set off for Chang'an. All the soldiers were confident that they could take down Chang An! After two great battles, they finally had the confidence to fight against the female experts!
There were still more than ten thousand female disciples and Qi Dan's people that escaped, especially the Chidan leader, Ye Lvyudu!
When he thought back to that night, he was still shocked!
Even now, he still did not know how the Han people could have set up so many ambushes! They were completely helpless, they were constantly being defeated!
When it was the eighth of the first month, he finally arrived at Chang'an City! Tens of thousands of female soldiers also followed him to the Chang'an City.
At this moment, the women and the people of Chidan all dismounted. They had survived the disaster, and now they were all rejoicing!
Very quickly, the city gates opened and Ye Lvyudu strode into the Chang'an City's City Lord's Mansion!
"Where's General Wan Yanhaili? Quick, take me to see him! " Ye Lvyudu said anxiously.
Wan Yanhaili was Wanyan Loushi's nephew, and also Wan Yanhuonv's big brother! However, Wan Yanhaili was far inferior to Wanyan Loushi in terms of history. He was not very famous, and did not have much talent!
Wan Yanhaili was currently in the City Lord's Palace, hugging two beautiful girls for fun when he heard a report from outside. He said impatiently, "Don't disturb me!"
Soon, he felt that something was wrong. He pushed away the two beautiful girls in his arms and asked: "What did you say?" Ye Lvyudu wants to see me? Didn't he follow the living daughter out to war? Why are you back now? "
The female Genuine soldier outside said, "General, General Yere's law seems to have been defeated and has just escaped!"
Wan Yanhaili frowned, he anxiously donned on his clothes and walked out!
Very quickly, Wan Yanhaili saw Ye Lvyudu. At that moment, Ye Lvyudu had already knelt down and started crying bitterly!
"What happened? Where's my cousin? Why isn't he here? " Wan Yanhaili sensed that something bad was about to happen, and said.
"General, something bad happened! Our fifty thousand strong army was defeated by the Han Chinese, I fought my way out of the encirclement with my life on the line. As for General Wan Yanhuonv, he is probably done for!" Ye Lvyudu said.
"What?" How is that possible? " Wan Yanhaili was in disbelief!
"Absolutely true! General, you can ask the soldiers outside, and they'll come back with me! " Ye Lvyudu said.
Very quickly, the defeated soldiers all entered the City Lord's mansion, Wan Yanhaili asked carefully! After he finished asking, Wan Yanhaili was stunned!
"What do we do now?" Wan Yanhaili said.
He was weak and had little experience leading soldiers to war! Faced with the situation in front of him, he had no idea what to do!
"General, we have to send someone to inform Chief Lou right now and have him lead the army back!" It would be best if the Second Crown Prince returned with his army! As long as more than a hundred thousand soldiers returned, the Han people would die without a doubt! Before that, we have to protect the Chang'an City! This Chang'an is the number one city in the northwest, it is abnormally sturdy. We still have over ten thousand people, and we can order all of the cheap Chinese citizens to help us defend the city! As long as we can last until Master Lou Lou or His Highness Second Crown Prince returns! " Ye Lvyudu said.
He was extremely anxious, on one hand he ordered for people to immediately go to the Henan Province to inform Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Zongwang and the rest, and on the other hand, he wanted to discuss the matter of the Guardian Elder's safety with Ye Lvyudu!
When it was the tenth day of the first month, the Song Army finally arrived at the bottom of the Chang'an City!
Song Army began setting up camp!
Looking at the hundred thousand plus Song Army s gathered below, Wan Yanhaili and Ye Lvyudu were filled with fear! They only had more than ten thousand soldiers. Although they had captured a lot of strong Chinese men to guard the city, the Song Army was too numerous for them to handle.
On the eleventh day of the first month, the Song Army did not attack!
On the twelfth and thirteenth day of the first month, the Song Army still had not launched an attack!
On the fourteenth day of the first month, the Chang'an City's drums were thundering. Wan Yanhaili and Ye Lvyudu were startled, they anxiously tried to defend, but the Song Army did not attack!
When it was the fifteenth of the first month, the Song Army began celebrating the Spring Festival Gala! They even saw the dragon flag of the Song Emperor!
"Why aren't the Song people attacking?" Wan Yanhaili said, puzzled.
"When the Song people saw how grand the Chang'an City was, they must have their doubts. They are afraid that if they cannot defeat it, their losses will be too great! But that would be for the best! It would be best for them to delay for a while longer. At that time, Master Wanyan Loushi and His Highness Second Crown Prince will come all the way from the Tongguan and completely defeat them! " Ye Lvyudu said.
"What you said makes sense!" Thank you, General Yere's law! I really don't know what I should do without you guiding me from the side! " Wan Yanhaili arrived.
Ye Lvyudu was overjoyed, and said: "This general only did what I had to do!"
What they did not know was that on this night, the Imperial Guards and the Managed arrived at the bottom of the Tongguan. In the middle of the night, they took a risk of the snow and attacked the Tongguan!
