Text Chapter 342 Returning with a Great Victory
Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and finally, the sound of war drums was heard from afar. The 70,000 Yihe Army arrived, and the volunteer soldiers came overwhelmingly. The 70,000 Yihe Army stirred up dust in the sky. , Flags filled the sky, thousands of horses roared together, and the blades of swords, guns and halberds glowed with a frightening luster in the sun.
...
"Boom boom boom..."
On the city, the drums of the Yangwei Legion were thundering, and the four north gates were opened together. The 10,000-day cavalry took the lead out of the city to raid the formation, followed by the 20,000 Iron Step Battalion, the 5,000 Divine Bow Battalion, and the 15,000 Tomahawk Battalion. After a long time, the elite army of 50,000 troops quickly set up two confrontation stances with their opponents outside the city.
Shenweihou Min Yulin stood majestically on the city gate, holding the hilt of his sword, and looked at the Yihe army in the distance. Behind him, a group of generals above a thousand commanders were already lined up.
Su Wentian respectfully said: "Your Majesty, we... really want to fight the traitors of the Yihe Kingdom outside the city."
"That's right."
Min Yulin's deep eyes sparkled, and he said with hatred: "The traitors of the Yihe Kingdom not only killed His Majesty, but also tore the empire apart. Today, this Marquis is going to defeat them on the frontal battlefield. I want to see it." How capable is Manfang."
Su Wentian was stunned, clasped his fists and smiled: "Your Majesty is wise."
On the side, Wang Xi, the commander of Qihai City, also stared at him, but he didn't say anything. Everyone had their own thoughts, some hoped that Min Yulin's direct army would win, and some hoped that he would be defeated.
About 100 meters away from Min Yulin's viewing platform, Lin Muyu, Qin Yan and other members of the Temple Battalion were also watching the duel outside the city on the city wall. As the sound of the drums became more and more intense and rapid, the battle finally broke out. , Che Tiefeng battle flag waved, 10,000 Iron Step Battalion soldiers held their shields and spears forward step by step, covering the Shenbow Battalion soldiers behind them, while the Yihe Kingdom sent nearly 20,000 iron cavalry to charge.
The sound of horseshoes shook the ground, and the two sides had already collided with each other, and the killing sound rose to the sky in an instant.
Qin Yan squinted his eyes and looked down the city, and asked, "Brother, who do you think will win?"
"We." Lin Muyu's voice was calm.
"Oh, big brother is so confident." Qin Yan smiled slightly.
Lin Muyu twitched her dry lips, gripped the hilt of the sword firmly, and said, "The 50,000 main force of Yangwei Legion were all brought back by Wei Hou from Huoji City. Although the crowd is well-equipped, most of them have never participated in real battles, at most they only participated in the massacre in Lanyan City, the combat power is disparate, the mighty army will win, and the defeat of the Yihe army is only a matter of time."
"En." Qin Yan nodded, looking deeply into the distance.
Shen Han clasped his fists and said, "Deacon, the 1,000 troops of the Temple Battalion have all been prepared and can attack at any time. When will we leave the city?"
"Without the order of the prince, we cannot act without authorization."
Lin Muyu shook his head and said: "Wait a little longer, I feel a little uneasy, I always feel that something bad will happen, everyone should be more cautious."
"yes."
...
After nearly half a day of fierce fighting, the 20,000 iron cavalry of the Yihe Kingdom were cut by the continuous formation changes of the Iron Step Battalion and the Shenbow Battalion, and had lost their original impact. The cavalrymen were pierced by spears from all directions, screaming Died in the battle formation, but when the Manchus sent 50,000 infantry soldiers to the battle formation, they were blocked by the Tomahawk Battalion of the Yangwei Legion. The tomahawk was sharp enough to split heavy shields, and for a while the two sides were at loggerheads.
In the afternoon, when the sun was setting in the west, the Heavenly Cavalry Army detoured to the west to launch an attack. When their bodies were bathed in the sun and rushed towards them, the Yihe army could not look directly at the scorching sun behind them. It has collapsed to the point of being unstoppable, coupled with the impact of the Tiebu Battalion, the Yihe Kingdom's 70,000 troops were defeated in an instant.
"We won, we won." Qin Yan said excitedly.
"Yes, we won." Lin Muyu's face was indescribably calm, as if this victory had nothing to do with him.
Shen Han said: "Deacon, the lord has ordered to hunt him down, shall we go out of the city to hunt him down?"
Lin Muyu pondered: "Let's go out of the city to help clean up the battlefield, don't go chasing and killing."
"Why."
Shen Han was taken aback, and said: "This is a great opportunity for us to make contributions. Hasn't the chief deacon read the reward and punishment laws of the Imperial Army? For those who are in the middle of the battle, kill one person to be promoted to army commander, kill two people to be promoted to senior officer, kill ten people To be promoted to be a centurion, to kill a hundred people to be promoted to a thousand commander, and to be promoted to be a ten thousand commander with the head of a thousand people. With the cultivation base of the chief deacon, it is not a problem to kill him a hundred people. , Tongtian Province will soon become our territory, and no one can stop the Yangwei Legion anymore."
"Okay then." Lin Muyu nodded: "Shen Han, you lead five hundred people out of the city to hunt down the defeated army of the Yihe Kingdom, and the rest of you stay with me in Dongshuang City, and you cannot act without authorization."
"yes."
...
When night fell, Shen Han came back with nearly a hundred heads of soldiers from the Yihe Kingdom, most of which were hung under the necks of the horses in the temple camp, while Lin Muyu rode his horse and walked slowly in the chaos of the battlefield outside the city, One after another torches went up, and a large number of imperial soldiers cleaned up the battlefield here. Sometimes, some people even fought for the head of a volunteer soldier. In the end, it was split into two with an axe, and each took half back to receive the reward.
There was a thick smell of blood in his nose, Lin Muyu walked slowly while holding the reins, and at the same time opened the spirit vein technique, the people who entered the detection radius of the spirit vein technique were all imperial troops, the breath was weak, and the stronger ones probably It was Du Hai, Che Tiefeng and others. As a former vanguard and a strong man in the sanctuary, Du Hai must be the most powerful person in this mighty army.
In the flickering flames, Du Hai came dragging a corpse behind him, and laughed at Lin Muyu: "Deacon, you are willing to come to the city."
Lin Muyu asked with a smile: "Others receive rewards with their heads, but Master Du Hai is dragging a whole corpse for this."
"This is no ordinary corpse."
Du Hai couldn't hide his excitement on his face, and said, "Deacon, guess who I hunted down."
"who."
Du Hai threw the corpse in front of Lin Muyu, and said with a smile, "You can just see for yourself."
This person's face was somewhat blurred, but the emblem between the neckline was very shiny. There were three golden hexagrams embellished behind the emblem of the Yihe Kingdom. He was a senior military officer at the commanding level.
"Could it be Manfang?" Lin Muyu asked.
Du Hai nodded and smiled: "It's Manfang, hehe... The Yihe Kingdom suffered a disastrous defeat, and more than 80% of the 70,000 troops were killed by us. This time, it depends on whether the dog thieves of the Yihe Kingdom have the courage to cross the Qinling Mountains to provoke the imperial army. Hey... Speaking of which, the ruler is still very good at commanding, far from being able to compare with a bastard like Man Fang."
Lin Muyu nodded: "Well, Mr. Du Hai, hurry up and receive the reward."
Du Haidao: "Wait, there are still my people behind, so send a batch of heads over here immediately."
"oh."
Within a few minutes, several vehicles transporting grain and grass drove over, and saw that the carriages were full of bloody human heads. Lin Muyu stretched his neck to take a look, and couldn't help his heart beating wildly, saying: "These are Du People who were killed by Master Hai."
"yes."
A captain smiled proudly: "Master Du Hai took the lead and led the army to kill nearly ten thousand traitors in the name of the country, which is enough to be called the 'top one thousand'."
Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing, clasped his fists and said, "Then congratulations to Mr. Du Hai in advance. After returning to Lanyan City, His Highness Yin will naturally promote you to return to the position of commander."
Du Hai smiled and said: "Thank you for the good words, Chief Deacon, hehe, when you are free, the Chief Deacon should still speak a few words of kindness for me in front of His Royal Highness Yin."
"Well, since there is nothing else, I will take the brothers to continue the inspection."
"good."
...
Riding away, Lin Muyu's city patrol badge hanging from his waist slowly swayed. It's ridiculous to say that the role of the temple chief deacon in this war is as simple as patrolling the city after the war. It seems that Min Yulin didn't even want to The meaning of asking Lin Muyu to lead the troops to fight is to use him, an extraordinary head deacon, as a food transport officer.
Qin Yan was a little annoyed, the fire snake spear in his hand was lingering with fire, but there was nothing he could do.
It was Shen Han who took the heads one after another to receive the rewards.
The night wind was cold, Lin Muyu took a deep breath, but he could only inhale the smell of blood. He seemed to be used to it. After patrolling the city for a week, nothing unusual happened. In Winterfrost City, every face was full of joy.
Until late at night, there was still no sign of Tie Buying returning.
In the flickering flames, a group of cavalry cavalry galloped forward. Lin Muyu immediately stepped forward, and the other party recognized him. An officer with the rank of centurion said respectfully, "Deacon, what's the matter?"
Lin Muyu asked: "Commander Che Tiefeng has returned with the Tiebu battalion."
"No, they hunted farther away, and the journey back was slower. Maybe they can come back early tomorrow morning."
"Understood, you have worked hard too."
The other party cupped his fists and said with a smile: "It's not hard, let's go back to the city to record military achievements."
"good."
After watching the group leave, Qin Yan couldn't help asking: "Brother, are you worried about Tiebuying?"
"yes."
"But the Tiebu Battalion has a full 20,000 people. Even if some of them are lost during the day, there are at least 15,000 people. In addition, they have been fighting for a long time. Don't worry, no one can do anything to them."
"Ayan, have you forgotten that our food transport team was wiped out by a sneak attack? Two thousand people died quietly. No matter how strong the Tiebu Battalion is, how strong can it be?"
"Brother, you are worried about those monsters."
"Um."
Lin Muyu nodded, looked at the sky, there were dark clouds and the sky was dark, and said: "I'm afraid it's going to rain soon, let's go, go back to the city."
"yes."
