Chapter 552 Anhu City Breaks
"Da Moda, we've been running for so long, let's take a break, the tribe can't take it anymore!"
A partial general beside Du Boqing couldn't help admonishing Du Boqing.
Du Boqing glanced back at the panting clan army, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Let the sons hurry up and rest, we will set off again in half an hour, and withdraw to Dubo City overnight!"
Dubo City is a city dominated by the Dubo family, which is equivalent to the private territory of the Dubo family.
"Quickly, send the order down and rest where you are!" Pian Jiang immediately took the order.
The Du Bo family army, whose physical strength had been exhausted for a long time, let out their last breath and sat down to rest as if they were abandoning the army.
"This won't work, we must arrange manpower to be on guard!" Du Boqing said with a frown as he looked at the clan army that had collapsed into mud.
"Patriarch, don't you need it? We have already run so far, the Han people should not be able to catch up. What's more, there are so many other troops in the camp, they may not chase us, the sons are really exhausted!"
The general who spoke just now looked at the Dubo family army who was lying on the ground humming, and said with some embarrassment.
Du Boqing was just about to get angry, but seeing the slightly dissatisfied expressions of several generals, he immediately stopped his anger abruptly.
Although Du Boqing is the patriarch of the Du Bo family, it doesn't mean that he promises everything in the Du Bo family. In a tribe that has lasted for a long time, the factions must be intricate. Du Boqing came back in a big defeat this time, his prestige in Du Bo's family plummeted, and the suppressed opposition reappeared.
If you behave too harshly at this time, you may be instigated to directly rebel, and the consequences are unpredictable!
"Okay, let the sons rest well. After resting, return to Dubo City overnight. As long as you return to Dubo City, everything will be saved. Send an order, and each person will be rewarded with ten gold after returning to Dubo City!"
"Long live my lord!"
Morale, which had been extremely sluggish, finally rose a little bit.
Seeing that the situation was temporarily stabilized, Du Boqing was also slightly relieved. Although the loss was heavy this time, the main force of the Du Bo family is still there. As long as the 200,000 private troops can be kept, the Du Bo family still has hope!
While the Dubo army was resting on the spot, several soldiers who looked no different from the ordinary Dubo family quietly activated the communication talisman, and the Dubo army's location and current situation were reported in detail.
These people are Qian Huan hidden in the Du Bo family army!
"General, all the stubborn enemy troops have been defeated!"
Xu Huang watched coldly as the last group of organized resistance troops were crushed by tens of thousands of cavalry, his knuckles turned white due to excessive force, and the excitement in his heart couldn't be overstated!
The two million Goguryeo army was completely defeated in a night attack, and a large number of troops surrendered. Although the enemy army was too weak, no one can deny Xu Huang's achievements.
"General, Qian Huan has sent you the latest location of Du Boqing's department!"
Soon, a small school in charge of intelligence communication reported to Xu Huang.
Xu Huang took the document, glanced at it quickly, and put the document in his arms without saying a word. Looking around and meeting everyone's expectant eyes, Xu Huang shouted in a hoarse voice: "Soldiers, the last enemy is ahead, what do you think should be done?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Okay, pass my order. Let the two generals Hu Kang and Sheng Ze stay to handle the battlefield and guard the prisoners, and the rest follow me to chase the enemy!"
"Kill the enemy!"
More than 40,000 cavalry stood up and roared, their murderous aura almost scaring the nearby Goguryeo army who had just surrendered!
"kill!"
Xu Huang roared, and like a huge ax in his hand, he led the soldiers under his command to kill in the direction where Du Bo's family was absconding.
"Boom boom boom..."
The ground shook slightly, and Du Bo Qingteng, who was thinking about how to get rid of his responsibilities as much as possible when returning to Dubo City, jumped up: "No, the enemy attacked!"
However, Du Boqing's reaction was still slow, and the completely relaxed Du Bo's army had no time to resist before being killed by Xu Huang's leader.
"Go! Go!"
Du Boqing had already been terrified,
He didn't dare to resist at all, and left the pursued army directly, and ran away first.
The Goguryeo army's will to resist was not strong at all, but now it was abandoned, and tens of thousands of troops quickly raised the white flag to surrender.
"Liu Zhang, you take 2,000 people to stay and guard the prisoners, and the rest will continue to pursue with me!" Xu Huang glanced at the Koguryo army kneeling and surrendering, and ordered the commander of the battalion under his opponent.
"It's the general!"
Liu Zhang immediately took orders, and led people to confiscate the weapons and armor of the surrendered army, and tied them into a string with ropes. At the same time, separate hands to guard around.
Seeing that Liu Zhang handled everything in an orderly manner, Xu Huang nodded in satisfaction and led his men to continue the pursuit!
Du Boqing still failed to escape in the end, Qian Huan had successfully lurked into Du Boqing's personal guards. Du Boqing had abandoned the army several times and fled with a small group of personal guards, but his whereabouts were finally found out by Xu Huang.
Chasing him all the way, he was overtaken by Xu Huang sixty miles away from Dubo City!
Looking at the more than a hundred guards left around him, Du Boqing was like a lone wolf in a desperate situation, staring at Xu Huang sitting on the horse with red eyes, his breathing became more and more rapid, and his lungs were like two bellows Generally violent ups and downs.
"Ah! I'm going to kill you!"
With a roar, Du Boqing raised his knife and slapped his horse towards Xu Huang.
"Jumping clown!"
Xu Huang sneered, turned over the giant ax in his hand, and directly led people to meet him!
One ax knocked away the long knife in Du Boqing's hand, and the second ax directly decapitated Du Boqing. Du Boqing's hundred guards were also crushed by the army without any suspense.
In the end, only one of Qian Huan's disguised guards remained, Xu Huang dealt with Du Boqing, and waved his hands to Qian Huan Yaoyao, who returned the salute. Then his figure changed for a while, turning into an ordinary rout soldier, rushing towards Dubo City.
When mentioning Du Boqing's head, he still had the ferocious and unwilling look on his face.
"idiot!"
Gently uttering two words, Xu Huang handed the head to the guard behind him: "Send Du Boqing's head to Liu Shuai quickly, An Hucheng has delayed it for too long, it's time to solve it!
Immediately, he looked up at the fish belly exposed in the distance, Xu Huang smiled and said: "Our business is not over yet!"
After speaking, he turned his horse back and led the army back.
While walking, Xu Huang listened to his subordinates' report.
"General, according to the reports of General Hu Kang, General Sheng Ze, and General Feng Yu, our army killed more than 300,000 enemies and captured 620,000 enemies in this battle. The main Goguryeo old army and Du Bo's private army are the key targets, and they have been wiped out."
"There's nothing wrong with General Feng Yu, right?"
"No, General Feng came to report that none of the formed troops passed through the blockade and returned to the inner city!"
"Very well, pass on the order. All the ministries will rest in place and watch over the captives to prevent riots. Send out double scouts to guard against attacks from the inner city. In addition, immediately report the victory to Liu Shuai and ask for instructions on the next step!"
"It's the general!"
The captain let out a loud shout, then suddenly hesitated.
"What are you hesitating about, tell me!" Xu Huang said a little displeased.
"General, we have captured a large number of Goguryeo women in this battle, the number is as high as 300,000, what should we do with them?"
Xu Huang felt a little bit pained when he heard the words. These women were all camp prostitutes who were looted by Du Boqing. The Pingzhou army attacked the camp last night. Naturally, they would not have nothing to do to slaughter these poor women who are helpless.
And Du Boqing was busy running for his life, so he definitely couldn't take care of them, so the more than 300,000 prostitutes now all fell into Xu Huang's hands.
"Send special personnel to settle them down, and prohibit any soldiers from touching them privately, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"
Xu Huang ordered with a murderous look on his face.
Although the camp prostitute can improve morale in a short period of time, using it for a long time is tantamount to quenching thirst with poison. Seriously corrupting the discipline of the army, disturbing the morale of the army, the loss outweighs the gain!
"Also notify Liu Shuai, let Liu Shuai send a special person to deal with them!" Xu Huang didn't want to worry about this hot potato, and directly threw the trouble to Liu Yi. As for how Liu Yi should deal with it, that's none of his business.
……………………………
Soon, Liu Yi received the good news from Xu Huang, and at the same time, Du Boqing's head was sent to Liu Yi's army account in an expedited manner.
"Gong Ming defeated two million enemy troops in the first battle. Gong Ming did a great job. I will immediately ask the lord for credit for him!"
Without going to see Du Boqing's head, Liu Yi first praised Xu Huang in front of everyone.
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Gao Baqi who was hiding in the corner, grinned, and said with a warm expression: "King Dongchuan, the rebel has given his head, and King Dongchuan has the confidence to use the head of the rebel to persuade him to surrender." Anhu City?"
Gao Ba, who was hiding in the corner as a quail, trembled when he heard the strange words, and hurriedly said: "Returning to the commander, there are heavenly soldiers from the upper kingdom, so why should a mere rebel in Anhu City be concerned? Xiao Wang is willing to go personally to persuade Anhu City to surrender. An Hucheng is stubborn, please ask the commander to send troops to punish him!"
Liu Yi nodded in satisfaction, and said directly: "Chengquan, you take someone to protect King Dongchuan to persuade Anhu City to surrender. If something happens to King Dongchuan, you will come to see him, understand?!"
"The end will understand!"
The school lieutenant named Cheng Quan took the order respectfully. As for what happened to this accident, only God knows!
There was no accident in persuading the surrender, and the morale of the defenders of Anhu City was already on the verge of being wiped out. If it wasn't for Liu Yi's desire to reduce meaningless casualties, Anhu City would have been captured long ago. A large city-level city is not enough to withstand the Pingzhou Army's edge.
In fact, so far, Liu Yi has not seriously attacked the city. Instead, he has put a lot of effort into consolidating the occupied area.
Gao Baqi, as the king of Goguryeo Dongchuan, directly ordered the defenders of Anhu City to surrender, and took out Du Boqing's head as a threat.
Gao Yanqing, the lord of Anhua City, who had been dying of illness for a long time and was supported by one breath, didn't come up immediately after seeing Du Boqing's head, and died on the spot!
Without the last backbone, An Hucheng decided to open the door and surrender after a brief period of confusion. The last line of defense in the domestic city was broken by the Pingzhou army, and the Pingzhou army reached the inner city of the capital of Goguryeo!
