Chapter 846: Finally Sealed Marquis! (Make up for Noon)
"Qin army withdraws troops, what is going on?"
After resting for a day, Chutian aggressively annexed half of Liaoxi County, preparing to chase Liaodong.
At this time, Luoyang suddenly heard the news that King Qin had withdrawn his troops.
Jiujiu Lao Qin was bound to win Luoyang City, but suddenly retreated secretly, which is a bit incomprehensible.
After the accident at Mingguan, another formidable enemy of Chutian, Lao Qin, also had an accident.
According to reports from the foreign spies deployed by Chutian in Guanzhong, Lao Qin seems to have fallen ill.
Lao Qin was older, and his health was not as good as Chu Tian and others, so it was normal for him to get sick.
Do I want to be the same as Sima Yi, Tokugawa Ieyasu and others, and fight to the death of powerful opponents one by one?
At this time, Chu Tian realized that being young was also a good thing.
Some opponents are more difficult to deal with, and it takes a lot of effort to fight, so they will kill each other.
This time it was a real turn of events, two powerful opponents suddenly overturned, Chutian faced much less pressure.
"My lord, the loyal and filial army captured the red cannon of the Ming army."
After the sky turned dark, the incomplete Zhongxiao Army and Heli Heli Army returned to the camp, bringing back a row of large carriages, and the carriages came back with red cannons.
Mingguan's spoils from the Battle of Songjin, the red cannons of the Qing army, are now Chutian's spoils.
Because Chutian was concentrating on dealing with the cavalry in Liaodong, he had already neglected the red cannon.
The red cannons brought back by Mingguan caused considerable losses to Xia's army, but they did not have a decisive effect. It was the cavalry regiments in Liaodong that really caused losses to Xia's army.
Even so, the destructive power of the red cannon on morale and formation cannot be underestimated.
Chu Tian and a group of generals who survived the catastrophe came to observe the red cannon brought back by the Zhongxiao Army curiously.
Except for players, ordinary NPC generals don't know much about the red-clothed cannon.
Even Chutian had never seen such an antique bronze cannon.
In the era of cold weapons, the red cannon is already a cross-age weapon, and it performs well in both siege and field battles.
"The tiger and leopard cavalry were almost wiped out, and the last general was ashamed, so he asked to resign and return home when he was old."
Cao Cao resigned with injuries, because Xiahou Dun was disabled, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu's life and death were uncertain, and he was discouraged.
This battle really shook the foundation of the tiger and leopard cavalry. There was no one out of ten, and a large number of veterans and veterans were killed. Even if they were rebuilt in the future, they would still be a group of recruits.
Cao Cao has never fought such a tragic battle.
There were only a few hundred Tiger and Leopard Cavalry left. Except for Cao Ang, none of the clan generals of the Cao and Xiahou clans was unscathed.
"Old man, his ambition is a thousand miles away. The martyr's old age is full of ambition. Meng De is in his prime, so why should he return to his hometown when he is old. Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Guanzhong are just a corner of the world, and there are even more vast lands. It is desirable to wave the whip."
Chu Tian appeases Cao Cao, but also appeases other generals.
The Liaodong Army was bloody, and it was desperate to fight. After the baptism of this battle, most of the generals of the Xia Army were seriously injured and realized the cruelty of the battlefield.
If it is not timely to appease the morale of the army, then they may not dare to continue to fight desperately in the next more tragic war.
"Old man, with aspirations for thousands of miles..."
Cao Cao seemed to be touched,
For the time being, we will not mention the matter of suing the old man and returning home.
"Anyone who has done meritorious service this time will be registered and made a book, and those who should be granted titles will be granted titles."
Chu Tian knew that it was time to start a large-scale feudal lord.
It is only a matter of time to calm down the north, as long as there are no accidents like Mingguan and Lao Qin, he has enough strength to sweep the entire north.
At this time, you need to seal the Marquis to win people's hearts.
The Marquis does not necessarily have power, but he must have status.
People make money and birds die for food. For most military generals, Fenghou has enough attraction to make them die, just like moths to a flame.
Monk Wanyan Chen was shot on the arm and thigh by the cannonballs of the red cannon in order to capture the position of the red cannon.
The current Monk Wanyan Chen has a command value of 89 and a force value of 90. He is no longer an emperor-level general, but has fallen into the ranks of a king-level general.
Among the Chutian forces, Monk Wanyan Chen was not the first person whose force declined. Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and Xiahou Dun all suffered permanent trauma and their force declined.
However, the characteristics of Monk Wanyan Chen are still at the level of imperial military generals, which are naturally more practical than Hua Xiong and others.
Regarding Monk Wanyan Chen's disability and the decline in force, Chu Tian felt somewhat guilty.
Monk Wanyan Chen followed his order to attack the artillery positions guarded by Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde, and he was injured.
Chu Tian's original intention was to let Monk Wanyan Chen try to plunder the red cannon, and if the opponent had many defenders, then he would retreat.
Monk Wanyan Chen was too foolish and loyal, so he insisted on defeating Hong Chengchou, beheading Kong Youde, and taking down the artillery position at the cost of loyalty and filial piety and cohesion.
The Zhongxiao Army and Heli Hejun did not think that there was anything wrong with the command of the general, but faithfully carried out the command of the general.
Regarding the desperate loyalty of Monk Wanyan Chen, Zhongxiao Army, and Heli Hejun, Chu Tian was also quite moved when it was unimaginable.
"It's good to be alive, this time the Marquis of Guanguan."
Chu Tian patted Monk Wanyan Chen on the shoulder.
If it wasn't for the special props back then, Chu Tian wouldn't have been able to recruit Monk Wanyan Chen, who was just like Gao Shun.
Monk Wanyan Chen clasped his fists and said: "The last general is willing to go through fire and water for his lord, and he will do whatever he wants!"
Chu Tian silently nodded.
Monk Wanyan Chen is really not polite, he can sacrifice himself for the lord.
Historically, Monk Wanyan Chen led the loyal and filial army, and after being captured by the Mongols, the Mongolian commander wanted to reuse him, but Monk Wanyan Chen still chose to kill himself and become benevolent.
"Feng Hou..."
After being seriously injured, Li Guang, who was wrapped into half a zongzi, was lying on a stretcher. Seeing that Chu Tian promised to make Monk Wanyan and Chen the Marquis of Guannei, he couldn't help muttering.
Monk Wanyan Chen did not pursue the title of Marquis very much, but was soon granted the title of Marquis, while Li Guang waited for ten years.
"Ahem, General Li Guang beheaded Duan Pidun, Duan Wenyang and other generals of the Xianbei tribe of the Duan family. They were so powerful in western Liaoning that they should also be granted the title of Marquis of Guannei."
Chu Tian caught a glimpse of the mummy-like Li Guang. Li Guang worked extremely hard in this battle, and fought bravely in order to make up for the losses caused by the siege by the Xianbei cavalry of the Duan family.
Li Guang assisted Zhou Yafu's army to defeat Duan's Xianbei, one of the three major Xianbei tribes in western Liaoning, and almost destroyed Duan's noble class. Duan's Xianbei officially withdrew from the stage of "The Lord", which is actually not a small achievement.
Murong Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei were still jumping up and down because they had more powerful generals, while the relatively weak Duan Xianbei was destroyed by Zhou Yafu and Li Guang.
Once these tribes lose their core figures, they are easily disintegrated and assimilated.
"Many...thank...thank...thank...Master...Master...my lord..."
Li Guang, who was wrapped into a rice dumpling, heard that he had been granted the Marquis title, and that he had somehow stepped into the circle of nobles. He couldn't help but tremble with excitement. He wanted to struggle to thank him, but his movements couldn't help being a little funny.
The generals who were originally in a heavy mood couldn't help laughing because of Li Guang's behavior.
"You take a good rest and return to Zhou Yafu's subordinates to lead the army as soon as possible."
Chu Tian asked Li Guang to heal his wounds, fearing that Li Guang's force would decline forever like Monk Wanyan Chen.
The red cannon's trauma to Monk Wanyan Chen was too severe. It can be seen that although the number of enemies killed by the red cannon was not many, no one could withstand the bombardment of the red cannon.
"yes……!"
Li Guang lay back on the stretcher, closed his eyes, smiled serenely, and remained motionless.
This guy, wouldn't it be because his wish has been fulfilled, and then die?
Under Chu Tian's signal, Sun Bin put away his robe, stretched out his hand to check Li Guang's breath, showing a helpless expression.
Li Guang just fell asleep because he was satisfied.
The strange Li Guang startled Chu Tian, who thought that the parachutist of the Han Empire would die in this battle.
In fact, it is not difficult to become a Marquis in troubled times. When you attack other civilized areas in the future, you can become a Marquis.
It was much more difficult to become a marquis during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not considered a troubled time, and the wars were not frequent, and the main energy was on the crusade against the Huns.
In a truly chaotic world, there are constant battles every year, and millions of people die in the battle. For example, in this battle in western Liaoning, the number of soldiers and civilians killed by both sides in the battle is as many as one million!
In the future when the military generals make military achievements in the crusade against other civilized areas, Chutian will definitely reward them again. After all, if the military generals get credit, the monarch can't reward them, and they will be dissatisfied and eventually rebel.
Moreover, each time the reward is higher than the last time.
Not to mention the marquis, even the duke, the county king, and the prince walked everywhere.
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty will be appointed as the Duke of England, Duke of Liang, King of Hejian, and King of Jiangxia, and Zhu Yuanzhang will be appointed as the Duke of Wei, Duke of E, etc...
It was all because of the great contributions made by these generals.
The merits of the war in the Eastern Han Dynasty are enough to be named Marquis and Duke.
If you conquer the main world, don't you want to be crowned king?
I am afraid that even being crowned king may not be enough.
These are all issues that Chutian needs to consider.
In this battle, basically all generals at the level of the regiment commander can be named marquises, and those with outstanding performances also have enough military exploits to be named marquises, such as Li Guang and Monk Wanyan Chen.
The generals in other battlefields also count their credits.
Just as Chu Tian was about to turn his attention to the red cannon, another batch of prisoners and trophies arrived.
One of the wounded horses caught Chu Tian's attention.
This war horse is Mingguan's mount. Its fur is purple in color and its eyes are bright. It looks like a steed, and it is about the same level as Jueying.
It's just that this divine steed was hit by an arrow, which indirectly led to the collapse of the Ming army.
"You were hit by an arrow, but you still haven't died. It's your luck."
Chutian took in Mingguan's mount.
Maybe the war horse can survive after a period of recuperation.
Chu Tian looked at the panel of the horse, and the name of the horse made Chu Tian's eyes shine.
【Name】: Savor Purple (Royal Grade)
【Load】: S 【Speed】: SS 【Endurance】: SSS 【Impact】: S
[Special Effect - Loyal Horse]: When the owner is in danger, within a radius of 100 meters, the attributes of the soldiers will be temporarily +20%, and the loyalty will be +30%.
[Description]: The mount used by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty when he conquered Luoyang and Ping Wang Shichong's forces. In the battle of Mangshan, Li Shimin was surrounded by heavy siege, and Sa Luzi shot an arrow. The guards tried their best to protect Li Shimin. After breaking through, Sa Luzi died in battle.
It turned out to be Tang Taizong's mount Sa Luzi...
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once used six steeds as mounts to conquer the world, namely Quanmaoyu, Shivachi, Baihoowu, Tellerpius, Qingzi, and Saluzi. There are also six horses in the cemetery of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. The stone carvings, also known as "Six Horses in Zhaoling", show that Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty loved the six horses.
It is another story that the French and Americans of later generations stole the stone carvings of the Six Horses of Zhaoling in the late Qing Dynasty.
I didn't expect to see a living Sa Luzi here.
Li Shimin's mastermind, Fang Xuanling, seemed to be very interested in Sa Luzi, and said to himself: "Yan Chaoyue, a bone-thumping steed, a majestic Sanchuan, and a majestic eight formations."
"It is indeed a divine horse, but such a divine horse can be hit by an arrow. Can you find out who shot Sa Luzi?"
Chu Tian saw that Sa Luzi had a wound.
Shooting Sa Luzi's person indirectly led to changes in the battlefield situation.
"My lord, this is the shaft of the arrow taken from the horse's wound..."
A veterinarian accompanying the army presented a broken arrow to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian took the arrow shaft.
This is a specially made armor-piercing arrow, probably made by Ou Yezi, or Ou Yezi's daughter Mo Xie, or Ou Yezi's son-in-law.
Chu Tian recognized it at a glance, because the bow and arrow he used was also specially provided by the casting master.
Generally, those who use this kind of special arrows are mostly senior generals of the Xia army.
After all, the cost of such an armor-piercing arrow is a few taels of silver, or even dozens of taels of silver. It also needs legendary craftsmen such as Ou Yezi and Mo Xie to shoot it. Only generals who are good at bows and arrows are eligible to use it.
Chu Tian looked at the writing on the arrow shaft, only to see two small seal characters "Mulan" engraved on it.
This is the arrow Hua Mulan usually uses...
In other words, in the scuffle, the person who accidentally shot Sa Luzi was Hua Mulan...
