Chapter 115: I Will Not Return Until I Defeat the Han Army
The eighth day of the first lunar month in the second year of Daxin Lingwu.
Chen Huaian spent the New Year's Eve with the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Anxi Border Army soldiers under his command, as well as the people in Shule City.
He finally failed to return to the court victoriously before the New Year as expected by his future father-in-law Liu Xinwu, and marry his fiancée Liu Shujun who was thousands of miles away and eagerly waiting for him.
But the "father-in-law" Wuning King Liu Xinwu could not wait to present the rich dowry to the son-in-law.
Not the original six states of Youyun, but the fourteen states of Youyun!
When Chen Huaian led his troops to the west and fought all the way to Shule City for rest, Chang Yuchun, the deputy marshal of the Dragon City Army and the general of the Southern Expedition, was not idle either.
He personally led 300,000 Dragon City troops to the south, and under the support of Wuning King Liu Xinwu, swept across the states of Youyun with a crushing force.
As of the eighth day of the first lunar month in the second year of Daxin Lingwu, except Yingzhou and Mozhou, which were still under the control of Li Jingyu, the general of the imperial court, all the other fourteen states had hung the flag of the King of Jin.
In addition, more than 200,000 Daxin Hu Ben troops changed their allegiance and became part of the Longcheng Jingnan Army, turning their troops to "clean up the emperor's side and eliminate treacherous officials."
When the battle report from the Youyun front was delivered to Shule City and delivered to Chen Huaian after several twists and turns, he was still somewhat surprised.
It was not because of how many cities he had conquered, how many imperial Hu Ben troops he had surrendered, or how many points he had accumulated in the [Born to be an Emperor] system.
Rather, this war report of thousands of words was more like a heavy dowry from the Wuning Palace!
This marriage must be done!
But, on the other hand, he was already 25 years old, and it was indeed time to get married.
"Report--"
"Your Highness, the Prince of Jin, General Lan Yu wants to see you!"
Outside the door, the sudden announcement from the messenger brought Chen Huaian's thoughts back to reality.
He immediately ordered: "Let him in!"
Soon, Lan Yu, disguised as the leader of the Western Regions caravan, pushed the door open and came in. He didn't even have time to wash off the dust and gravel on his body, and met Chen Huaian in a dusty state.
After kneeling, he said loudly: "Your Highness, I just came back from Shama Town, and the movements of the Western Region Barbarians have been investigated!"
Lan Yu could not hide his admiration and continued: "Your Highness is indeed as good as a god. The old thief Guli Peiluo of the Huihe people really intends to set up a trap outside Shama Town to ambush our Longcheng army!"
"Guli Peiluo, the old thief, actually entangled 150,000 mobs from various countries in the Western Regions and ambushed them here relying on the complex Gobi terrain around Shama Town."
"If Your Highness did not predict in advance and rashly led the army to advance towards Qiuci City, he would really fall into Guli Peiluo's trap."
Hearing this, Chen Huaian smiled confidently.
Then, he asked, "Lan Yu, how is your survey of the outer terrain of the enemy's ambush in Shama Town that I asked you to explore?"
Lan Yu immediately presented a battle map drawn by himself to Chen Huaian with both hands, like offering a treasure, and said, "Your Highness, this is a map drawn by me personally."
"If I have 100,000 elite soldiers, I will definitely be able to eat up Guli Peiluo's 150,000 Western Region barbarians in one bite!"
Oh?
Chen Huaian looked at the map drawn by Lan Yu with great interest. The distribution of enemy forces in the Shama Town area, as well as the distribution of the terrain of the Gobi, hills, sand dunes, and rivers were clearly marked on it.
Even where the Longcheng soldiers could set up an ambush and how many troops they had were clearly marked.
It must be said that Lan Yu's military talent is indeed not exaggerated.
Chen Huaian nodded with satisfaction and ordered immediately: "Lan Yu, I will meet your request and give you 100,000 elite soldiers to encircle the rear of the Western Region Barbarians!"
Hearing this, Lan Yu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "I will not fail in my mission and will make that old thief Guli Peiluo and the Barbarians come and go without return!"
Then, Chen Huaian leaned close to Lan Yu's ear and whispered a few words.
Lan Yu nodded frequently and could not suppress his excitement.
Finally, he bowed to Chen Huaian and said loudly: "Your Highness, I understand!"
"I will prepare now!"
Chen Huaian waved his hand and said: "Go!"
After speaking, Lan Yu left the central army tent in a hurry and rushed to the designated location to make preparations for the war.
Chen Huaian also communicated with the system with his mind, and found the [Private Soldier Summoning] column on the system light screen in his mind, and chose to summon 100,000 super elite soldiers.
He also did not forget to equip these 100,000 super elite soldiers with corresponding war horses, weapons, baggage, food and equipment in the [Armament] column of the system mall.
Finally, he calculated the time and chose to summon these 100,000 elite soldiers to the place where he had just ordered Lan Yu to take over the army.
At the same time.
In Shama Town, a hundred miles away from Shule City, the temporary camp of the Western Region Allied Forces.
In the central army tent, Guli Peiluo, the Khan of Huairen of the Huihe, was summoning the generals of the allied forces under his command to discuss matters.
Guli Peiluo, sitting in the center of the tent, swept away the decadence of the past on his sunken cheeks, and his blue eyes flashed with excitement and bloodthirstiness.
The 100,000 troops that rushed to help from Qiuci City arrived outside Shama Town in the evening yesterday and joined forces with the 50,000 allied forces under Guli Peiluo.
In this way, Guli Peiluo had 150,000 troops.
Among them, 100,000 were Huihe troops, who were absolutely loyal to Guli Peiluo.
With 150,000 troops in hand, Guli Peiluo felt more confident and spoke in a more confident tone.
"Report——"
"Inform the Khan, the spies stationed in Shule City have come to report that Chen Huaian, the dog-Han man, has decided to lead an army to attack Kucha City in three days!"
At this time, the messenger reported the urgent military information they had just received to Peiro, the strongman in the Chinese army's tent.
Hahaha!
Hearing the news, Bone Strength Pei Luo couldn't help laughing wildly and said: "As the saying goes, it's better to call early than to arrive well."
"The army has just joined forces, and this piece of shit Chen Huaian is going to lead his troops on an expedition. Isn't it clear that he is going to die?"
With that said, Gu Li Pei Luo stood up from his chair, walked to the side of Azar, the most powerful general in Huihe, patted his shoulder and said: "General Azar, how are you preparing?"
Azar stood up immediately and replied with a ferocious and fierce expression: "Report to the Khan, the sabers of the general and the cavalry of the Huihe army under his command are already hungry and thirsty!"
"As long as the Khan gives the order, Chen Huaian and the Han cavalry under his command will be called a dog and the Han cavalry will flow into a river of blood. There will be no return!"
"good!"
"very good!"
"very good!"
The bone-strength Peiro shouted three times to show how much he valued Azar.
Although, Azar's proposal to withdraw the army to the west a few days ago offended the powerful Peiro.
However, now that the war is imminent, he still needs a strong general like Hazard to charge into the battle for him.
Bone Strength Pei Luo continued: "This Khan expected that Chen Huaian has 30,000 elite cavalry in his hands, and there is no way he can capture them without help. A tough battle is inevitable!"
"As the number one warrior in Uighur, you must shoulder the important task of taking the lead for the army and breaking through the enemy's formation!"
"I promise you that after I annihilate Chen Huaian's Han cavalry, if you like any princess from the Western Regions, I will personally propose marriage to you!"
As soon as he heard what Bone Power Pero said, a beautiful face really appeared in Azar's mind.
There was a trace of a lewd smile on his already ferocious face.
Then, he patted his chest and assured Pei Luo, "Kang, please rest assured. The general will do his best to make contributions to the Huihe Khanate and the countries in the Western Regions, and kill the dog Han Chen Huaian on horseback!"
"I swear I will never return until I defeat the Han army!"
