The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 230: Breakthrough East County
? "Well, now that we have arrived in the East County, let's go through this county and go to Korea to support it!" Pulling the horse's rein, Zhong Yu turned his head and said to Cao Cao, and then slapped the whip. , Rushed forward.
Following Zhong Yu's first ride, hundreds of thousands of troops followed behind him, and billowing smoke filled the surrounding area for hundreds of miles.
In a small county a dozen or so miles away, the people in the city are panicking, and every house is closed behind closed doors, but the Qin army soldiers coming and going on the street come and go, all with serious faces and solemn hearts.
"Master county magistrate, now the 200,000 army outside the city is coming soon, what should we do?" The county magistrate next to him asked his supervisor, the head of the county.
"What can I do? Just stick to it, as the county magistrate of this city, it is the right thing to defend the city in order to repay the great kindness of the State of Qin to me!" The county magistrate looked serious, although his face was a little pale and his body There was a little trembling, but he said firmly.
"But, is that the 20th Army?" The county Cheng beside him was extremely frightened.
"So what? It's the duty of being a minister to be loyal! Where is the county lieutenant? Quickly summon all the soldiers in the city, all of them catch up with the city wall, and defend the city to the death!" He stared at the deputy next to him fiercely. , The county magistrate shouted to the county lieutenant next to him.
"Yes, the magistrate! There are now 1,000 defenders in the city, and all the humble positions have caught up with the city wall and vowed to live and die together with the city!" The county lieutenant beside him looked down and gave a military salute to the county magistrate. .
"That's good, yes, let me mobilize the people in the city, and mobilize all the strong men, and they will catch up with the city. The achievement will be broken. How can they be stable for a while!" His expression was ruthless, but he ordered the county lieutenant next to him.
Anyway, this city cannot be defended under the attack of 200,000 troops. Instead of keeping these untouchables to serve the enemy country and pay taxes, it is better to let them die in battle and make it much cleaner.
"Yes, let's take action at the humble position, and immediately send humble guards to conduct house-to-house searches, and surely no man will be missed!" The county lieutenant also looked ruthless. The Qin was born, for these newly occupied land. In the name of the six countries, naturally there will be no sympathy.
However, just when these people were busy, toward coexisting and dying with the city, and serving the Qin State, the 200,000 army outside the city directly ignored them, as if the river water hit the reef, from the middle Separated alive, and ran to the side.
"Well, don't they want this city?" Above the city, he was looking nervously at the magistrate of the cavalry group outside the city, surprised.
"It looks like it is, my lord!" The county next to him was surprised and nodded repeatedly.
"Then, this city is defended, you, I don't have to die?" The county magistrate was still a little unbelievable. He was prepared to die, so he would escape so easily.
"Yes, sir, we can live, we don't have to die!" The county lieutenant next to him was also a surprise. Although his loyalty to the empire was unquestionable, it was a surprise to live.
……
In this way, 200,000 cavalrymen, all the way through the city, counties, detours from the side, regardless of them, the goal goes straight to Xinzheng City.
However, the journey has not always been smooth sailing.
On the way, the capital of East County, under Puyang City, was blocked by the Qin State's defenders.
East County is located in a plain, endless, it is a good place to run horses.
Except for those heavy cities that can be guarded on the road, there is no danger. This Qin army wants to stop, naturally it is only possible to get out of the city.
East County has 50,000 defenders. This time out of the city, there are 30,000 of them. These 30,000 people are used to block the 20th army. Naturally, they are maneuvering arms to block the vehicles.
Therefore, these 30,000 people have set up barriers on the necessary routes of the official road, and established preliminary fortifications in an attempt to stop the imperial cavalry from attacking.
These fortifications, although they were built at the beginning, are not a big deal to the army, but it is extremely time-consuming to clean them up.
If you make a detour, it will also take time.
But now, for the Imperial Cavalry, the most wasteful thing is also time.
South Korea is at stake, how can we waste time on the way to clear these obstacles? Since South Korea’s survival is in disregard!
Therefore, for the 30,000 people who are not able to do anything, the angry Zhong Yu directly sent a large number of cavalry to divide and outflank them, strangling them as much as possible.
The reason why these soldiers were able to build these fortifications was a surprise.
Now that they are prepared, they still want to escape to the rear to continue their defense, which is completely an extravagant hope.
They just couldn't get under these obstacles, and when they wanted to withdraw to the rear to continue, they were hit by the imperial cavalry who detoured from other directions.
The barricade above the road is used to stop the 200,000 cavalry, which is naturally extremely useful. After all, these 200,000 people, whether they want to turn around or pass, are extremely time-consuming.
is a small group of cavalry, thousands of people, but not among them.
These small groups of cavalry passed these obstacles and chased forward. The remaining cavalry brigade began to step up time to clear the roadblocks.
The army started their respective work in an orderly manner. The rigorous training of the imperial army was revealed at this moment.
However, not all armies are like this. The cavalry that the Huns joined are all decadent, and their mouths are full of resentment and dissatisfaction.
However, these people looked at the imperial army that was ready to go around them.
very wisely put his grievances in his heart~IndoMTL.com~ Even if I wish I could kill these people, I still dare not show it. The fighting power of the imperial army was deeply rooted when they conquered their tribes. The earth was engraved in their hearts.
Not long, about two or three hours, these East County defenders replaced the roadblocks arranged for two or three days, and with the joint efforts of more than 100,000 people, they quickly cleared them.
and Zhong Yu’s army set out again.
In front of the army, the five thousand cavalrymen in advance, they were encountering the 30,000 blocking army in East County, and there was a handover.
Because they are cavalry, and they have the advantage of surprise attacks, and the equipment is relatively sophisticated, so the 30,000 low morale Qin army quickly broke through the formation and broke into pieces.
After a tragic fight, 30,000 soldiers of Qin State left more than 10,000 corpses, and all the rest scattered and fled.
And these five thousand pioneers also left more than three thousand corpses.
