I became a saint by picking up corpses in Water Margin

Chapter 402: The Power of an Elephant, the Strongest on Land

The Jin army fled north in panic, and the Jin army pursued them relentlessly.

Wuzhu's stronghold in Hejian was attacked by the bandit king Shi Qian. More than 20,000 defeated soldiers had no supplies, so they had to use strategy even if they wanted to escape.

Soldiers can endure a few days of hunger, but a hungry war horse is like a car without gas, it will definitely break down if it is told to.

It was early spring and the weeds were just beginning to sprout, so they were not enough to feed the war horses.

Moreover, Wuzhu had too many horses, and they had no time to replenish their supplies by grazing in the wild, and Yang Chang would not give them any chance.

Since supplies are impossible in the wild, they can only go to the city for supplies. The northern states have grain reserves, but fodder is relatively limited, so the Jin army can only disperse first and then concentrate.

The supply problem of the Jin army was not a problem for Yang Chang's side. The grain and fodder stored in Hejian Prefecture were enough to feed thousands of troops.

After careful consideration, Wuzhu led his army out of Hejian and went to Mozhou in the north, where he divided the 25,000 men into three groups.

From east to west.

The general Elubu led 10,000 cavalry into Bazhou for supplies, the veteran general Tabuye led 8,000 soldiers into Xiongzhou for supplies, and Wuzhu personally led 7,000 cavalry to Baozhou for supplies. Afterwards, the three armies met in Zhuozhou.

You read it right, Wuzhu had the least number of troops, so he didn't hold back his fart when he escaped.

Yang Chang only has about 4,000 men. If he does not divide his troops and concentrate on pursuing one group, that group of Jin troops will go straight back to Yanjing, and the other two groups will help support them.

If the Jin army was divided into two or three, they would counterattack the direction where Yang Chang was not.

And this was just on the tactical level. Wuzhu also sent people to ask for help from Guo Yaoshi, asking him to bring the Ever-Victorious Army from Yanjing to the south to help in the battle. In addition, the number of troops going to Baozhou was the least, also considering that there were still Jin troops in Baozhou.

When Yang Chang chased to Mozhou, he soon learned that the Jin army was divided into three. He immediately divided the army into two to deal with it. He ordered Sun An to lead the main force to chase to Baozhou and cooperate with Liu Tang to eat up the Jin army on that route. He and Qiu Qiongying led a hundred cavalry to Xiongzhou. If they could catch up with Ta Buye, they would fight him. If they couldn't catch up, they would just provide support in the middle.

As for Li Yanxian?
As Sun An's deputy, he stayed in the rear to prepare the troops, clean up the battlefield, take over the territory, and keep an eye on Shandong. His burden was no easier than Sun An's.

On the first day of March, Wuzhu entered the territory of Baozhou.

Liu Tang learned from the Night Owl Army scouts that he had really caught a big fish. He was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. He originally wanted to lure Wuzhu into the city, but he was worried that he had too few soldiers and that the people of Baozhou could not help him, so he took the initiative to lead his troops out of the city to ambush.

The ambush point he chose was the garrison point at the intersection of three rivers where Song Jiang had plotted against Lu Junyi.

It was dusk that day.

Wuzhu led the Jin army across the river in a hurry. He planned to rush to Baoding City to rest overnight, but he was ambushed by Liu Tang.

The Jin army had no idea how many ambushes there were, and they were all worried that Sun An's pursuing troops would catch up with them, so they hastily fought back and fled to Yi County. But how could Liu Tang let them go?

At the beginning of the battle, he confirmed who the leading general Wuzhu was, and rushed straight towards him after the battle started.

However, Liu Tang's martial arts were not as good as Wushu's, but Wushu was exhausted due to lack of food, and the two fought to a standstill.

If it weren't for his personal guard Pusan ​​Huntan who rescued him in time, Liu Tang might have really kept this famous Jin general. In the end, due to the lack of cavalry, he was unable to completely wipe out the enemy, allowing Wuzhu to escape with his 3,000 remaining soldiers.

Afterwards, Sun An led his troops to Baozhou and did not praise Liu Tang for the ambush.

If Liu Tang had not launched an ambush, Sun An and he would have attacked from the front and back, and Wuzhu might have been captured.

Sun An was helpless. He rested in Baozhou for one night and continued his pursuit towards Yi County.

When Tabuye, who was fleeing to Xiongzhou, saw that the pursuing army had only a hundred cavalrymen, he immediately divided his troops and launched a encirclement.

Unfortunately, he was not aware of Anxi's military situation, and two of his companions died in this way.

but.

Tabuye's men were all cavalry. When they surrounded and found that the enemy was Yang Chang, he left with 5,000 cavalry at the cost of only 3,000 men. He did not dare to stay in Xiongzhou any longer, so he went directly north to Zhuozhou and reported the news to Wuzhu and Elubu.

Yang Chang was worried that Sun An could not keep up, so he did not continue after defeating Tabuye. Instead, he stayed in Xiongzhou waiting for news. He only marched north to Zhuozhou after learning that Wuzhu had been defeated.

Wuzhu divided his troops in Mozhou, planning to reunite in Zhuozhou while attacking the pursuing troops along the way.

Unfortunately, the execution failed. All his ideas were perfectly replicated by Yang Chang. Finally, the Jin army met in Zhuozhou and headed straight for Yanjing.

In half a month, the Jin army defeated the main forces of Salihe and Wuzhu, and Yang Chang stopped in Zhuozhou to rest.

He deliberately slowed down the pace of the attack, waiting for the infantry from the rear to arrive.

Hebei and Xixia are different.

The cities in Western Xia are distributed in a linear manner, so a blitzkrieg can be carried out smoothly all the way, while the cities in Hebei are distributed in points and areas, and the pace is too fast and it is easy to be out of control. Once a loophole appears at a certain point, unnecessary losses will be suffered.

Yang Chang also wanted to be quick, but not everyone was as smart as him. He had to respect the laws of war and rest when necessary and deploy defenses when necessary.

The rest of the Jin army gave the Jin army a chance to catch their breath.

Wuzhu fled back to Yanjing in panic, and then regrouped the three armies and stationed them outside the city beside Gaoliang River.

He did not march into Yanjing City because, firstly, his rank in the Eastern Army was not as high as that of Pharmacist Guo, and he could not lead his troops directly into the city without the other party's permission;
Secondly, the reason is to consider the retreat route. Yanjing is like a target. Under the threat of Yang Chang's powerful ability, no matter how strong the city walls are, they cannot stop it. It is more convenient to escape by stationing troops outside the city.

The fourth day of March.

After Wuzhu discussed military intelligence with Guo Yaoshi, they returned to the camp on the banks of Gaoliang River outside the city.

In order to confuse Yang Chang into robbing the camp, this guy set up five large tents to confuse him, but he failed to confuse Yang Chang in Zhuozhou, and instead confused Pharmacist Guo.

Seeing the commander's distressed expression, his subordinate Zhen Wuchen carefully reminded him:
"General, this Wushu has bad intentions. He said nicely that he was attacking from the corners, but if Yang Changjuan's troops came to attack, he would definitely run away and leave us to be beaten alone."

"Didn't he say he was going to ask for reinforcements? The marshals have been back in the capital for half a year, so they should be back by now."

Pharmacist Guo was talking to himself, and Zhen Wuchen continued to add: "What if they come back? Nianhan, Talai, Wushi, which one of them was not defeated by Yang Chang? Even the emperor Wuqimai lost his head. I think it is difficult to defend Yanjing."

"Your Majesty died of illness. The rumors are unreliable. It is very likely that the Jin army disturbed the morale of the army."

"General."

Zhen Wuchen's face was solemn, and his voice became high-pitched, "What's wrong with you now? You could see it clearly before, but now that the Jin people are in decline, you can't see it anymore?"

"What do you mean?"

Pharmacist Guo had an amused look on his face.

Zhen Wuchen was neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a serious tone: "I have nothing to say. I just want to remind you that Yanjing is very dangerous. Yang Chang conquered Xixia in one month. How long will it take to conquer Hebei? Wuzhu is stationed outside the city now. I don't think he intends to hold it. He wants us to be his scapegoat."

"I know what you mean, ah."

Pharmacist Guo sighed and murmured, "We rebelled against Liao first and then Song. If we rebel against Jin now, won't we become slaves of three families? Even if we surrender to Yang Chang, he won't dare to use us."

"I didn't say I wanted to surrender to Yang Chang. You can apply to return to the court to take up a sinecure on the grounds of physical injury. Yang Chang will not fight to Shangjing. The conditions in the rear of the Jin Kingdom are terrible, and the Han people are generally not interested. Of course, the interests of Yanjing will definitely be lost, but I heard that the Jin army treats the people well, and it is estimated that it will be the same if you surrender to Yang Chang."

"Return to the imperial court to take up a sinecure? The current little emperor Hela (Wanyan Tan)? I have never met him, how can I send a memorial to him?"

"How can the little emperor have real power?"

Zhen Wuchen smiled coldly and added, "The important affairs of the Jin Kingdom are now decided by Nianhan, Oben and Erliduo. You have a good relationship with these three people. Just find someone to complain to and the matter will probably be settled. Besides, isn't it what they expect you to hand over your military power?"

"If we had mentioned this to Nianhan, perhaps this could have been accomplished. Now he is obviously afraid of fighting. I am afraid that if we really go to Shangjing, we will not be tolerated. If we lose our military power, won't we be bullied by others?"

Pharmacist Guo shook his head as he spoke.

After hearing this, Zhen Wuchen was indignant: "What's wrong with being afraid of fighting? Does he have to die? If Wuzhu was not afraid of fighting, he should have died in Hejian long ago. Why did he flee back to Yanjing? If you are worried, why not turn to Yang Chang? Remember when Tong Guan came to Hebei, didn't this man accompany him? You still have some friendship." "Tong Guan? Back then?"

Pharmacist Guo's thoughts were brought back to a few years ago. He still remembered that Yang Chang and a fat monk had a martial arts performance on the training ground, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere, and finally the martial arts arena was destroyed.

Awesome, he is really awesome.

Who could have imagined that a small inspector would surpass his superior Tong Guan in just a few years, not only being granted the same royal title as Emperor Taizong, but also defeating the Jin army and destroying Western Xia.

Perhaps surrendering to him is the wisest move. He will not rebel again. I am too old to rebel.
"Yang Chang is indeed very strong, and he is so young. No one in the world can defeat him. Even the Jin Kingdom is no match for him. Let me think about it."

"That's right, but Yang Chang was born in Liangshan, and he may still have bandit spirit. General, remember to submit your surrender letter, otherwise you will not be taken seriously in the past."

"I'm already in this state, why should I be taken seriously? I'm lucky enough to be alive, do I really need to pledge my loyalty?"

"If you really want to, believe me!"

On the sixth day of March, Yaoshi Guo sent his son Guo Anguo to disguise himself and secretly leave Yanjing.

On March 12, Guo Yaoshi verbally informed Wuzhu that he was willing to give up the city, on the grounds that the Jin soldiers stationed outside the city were suffering, and personally led the Ever-Victorious Army to the Gaoliang River to change guard.

How could Wuzhu be willing to do that?
The two men were politely yielding to each other in front of the camp, and Zhen Wuchen led the Ever-Victorious Army into the camp to force a replacement. This good intention left the Jin generals in the camp at a loss.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, all the Jin army's outer guard scouts were shot dead by Yang Chang at a long range, and Sun An led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to approach quietly.

As the smoke of gunpowder rose, the Ever-Victorious Army responded.

The Jin army was attacked from both inside and outside and fell into chaos in an instant.

Wuzhu was in a panic and didn't know the direction. He was escorted out of the encirclement by his personal guard general Pushan Huntan, but he accidentally bumped into Yang Chang.

Seeing the golden-armored white horse and the phoenix-wing gilded halberd, Pushan Huntan was so frightened that his soul flew away. He immediately urged Wuzhu to turn around, "Military Supervisor, hurry up, this is Yang Chang!"

"Pharmacist Guo has rebelled, and there are pursuers everywhere. I can't leave."

Wuzhu held the Golden Sparrow Axe in his hand and instead of running away, he urged his horse to gallop straight towards Yang Chang, shouting, "Even if I have to die, I want to die in his hands!"

"Supervisory Army!"

Upon hearing this, Pushan Huntan felt the same sorrow and also rode his horse to follow and die.

Seeing the two men walking in front and behind, Yang Chang said to Qiu Qiongying with a smile, "Madam, how do you divide these two men today? Do you want Wushu or the general behind?"

"I want it all!"

Qiu Qiongying clenched her fist, rode out with her halberd in hand, and rushed out whistling.

Yang Chang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and clapped his horse to catch up, and reminded him: "My lady, be brave, I will lead the troops for you!"

"This thief shot my sister before, I will pay him back today!"

As Qiu Qiongying ran, she held the halberd in her left hand and reached into the stone bag with her right hand, and attacked continuously before they even met.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
what is this?
Oops!

Wuzhu was determined to die, and originally went for Yang Chang, but he was stopped by Qiu Qiongying unexpectedly. So he picked up the axe and ran over again, intending to kill him before he died.

No one expected that Qiu Qiongying would hurt people with a hidden weapon and there was no time to resist.

"Oh you are such a mean girl! I don't want to die in your hands!"

"waste!"

Wuzhu was hit on the cheek by a flying stone and fell off his horse in an instant, holding his head and wailing. However, Qiu Qiongying abandoned him and went to fight Pushan Huntan.

When Pushan Huntan saw Wuzhu fall off his horse, he could not help but grab the reins and shouted in panic: "General Supervisor, General Supervisor, are you okay? I am here to save you."

"Shut up and stop screaming!"

Qiu Qiongying didn't understand the Jurchen language, so she took out a few stones from her bag again and threw them at Pushan Huntan's face.

Pushan Huntan was even more unfortunate than Wuzhu. Two stones hit his mouth, leaving it full of blood. However, he managed to stay on his horse with his amazing willpower. He just dropped his weapon, covered his mouth and groaned.

Immediately afterwards, a white light flashed.

Qiu Qiongying, dressed in white robe and silver armor, rushed over with a Fang Tian Hua Ji in her hand and swung it, and Pushan Huntan's head fell off. She turned around, grabbed the horse's neck and stabbed it with a plowing stab, killing Wuzhu.

"My wife is really good. She can easily defeat two people at the same time."

"Your Majesty, please stop teasing me. Although the Jin army's main general is dead, there are still many remnants. Let's continue to kill them."

"Wait, I'll help my wife cut off Wushu's head."

"Then I will leave first!"

Qiu Qiongying left as soon as she finished speaking, while Yang Changze picked up the fallen bodies of the other side under the pretext of cutting off their heads. After he destroyed Xixia, he had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, and all he needed was a sufficient murderous aura to reach the eighth level.

【Gain 10000 murderous point.】

[Mountain peeling, triggering the hidden corpse to drop, do you want to peel it? ]

Yes!
[Peel off to obtain the Domination Attribute Symbol]

[Peel off to obtain the power attribute symbol]

[Strip to obtain Hunter Skill Talisman]

[Strip to obtain the riding skill symbol]

[Peel off to obtain the Gun and Stick Skill Talisman]

[Strip to obtain sword skill symbols]

Shit, this bastard's murderous aura was so high that he actually peeled out six talismans from the creation of the world, and two of them have attributes.

However, there was no hint that the command and strength attributes could replace Yang Chang's existing ones, which meant that Wushu's attributes were not as good as his own. He had never even defeated Qiu Qiongying, so this situation was expected.

But Yang Chang didn't know that Qiu Qiongying was practicing strength every day, and she had a hidden attribute of growth. Even without the blessing of strength attribute, her real strength had already surpassed Wushu.

Yang Chang cut off the head and mounted his horse. Thinking of the murderous aura he had just received, he couldn't help but touch his forehead to check. Then he found that the murderous aura was full and his realm was raised again.

After seeing this, Yang Chang quickly regained his composure and immediately felt a surge of power.

[The power of a tiger] is already strong enough, but who can stop [the power of an elephant]?
