Destiny: As soon as I became the emperor, I was purged

Chapter 40: Liangzhou Conquered, Liangzhou Victory
The successive deaths of the three Tongtian have completely disrupted Yang Tianhai's plan.

The strong men from the Western Territory families could not bear the killing and collapsed.

Under the violent attack of the imperial army, they abandoned their own defense line and ran towards the Snow Dragon Mountain behind them.

If there is profit, they will rush in.

But there is really no hope, they run faster than anyone else.

The deaths of the three Tongtians were horrifying enough.

"Don't let them get away!"

How could the army from the imperial court allow those people to escape from the battle easily?

Every head they take is a token of their military exploits.

"The army was defeated like a mountain!"

Yang Tianhai looked unhappy.

Wang Ben’s strength made it impossible for him to rally the people’s hearts and minds to fight.

The biggest taboo on the battlefield is a crushing defeat.

If people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to lead the team.

Back then, when fighting against the imperial army, it was not that the imperial army did not have strength, but that their morale was weak. They surrendered directly before the battle even started.

Now this situation has also occurred to him.

Beiliang fell.

If their foundation in the western border is destroyed, King Ning will be put in an extremely passive situation.

However, he was unable to change the situation.

We can only try to minimize the losses.

"The war is not over!"

Wang Ben saw the collapse of the rebels.

The imperial army has already attacked Beiliang City from the front.

Strangling the enemies in the city.

However, Wang Ben will not let the other party go easily.

On the front battlefield, the important thing is to weaken the enemy's strength as much as possible, expand the results of this battle, and create a more favorable situation for a larger counterattack in the future.

The battle for Beiliang City was difficult this time, and the support from many noble families in the Western Territory was very important and crucial.

Therefore, in order to maximize benefits, Wang Ben killed more strong men in the western border and stabilized the four western states.

He swooped over with flames, intending to kill the most powerful ancestor of the He family.

The He family's ancestor's expression changed in shock.

Boom! He exchanged a move with Wang Ben, and the whole person was blown away.

Although he and Wang Ben are both at the seventh level of Tongtian.

But one is at the peak of his career, at the peak of his energy.

And one's blood is exhausted.

How could he be an opponent?

Although he is very old, he doesn't want to die.

After all, he can still guard the family for a few more decades.

Perhaps changes will occur in a few decades.

"Wang Ben, don't push me. I'm old, and you're still in your prime. If you push me into a dead end, I'll perish with you!"

The He family ancestor threatened Wang Ben.

But Wang Ben refused to accept any threats and was determined to kill the ancestor of the He family.

"Liangzhou is doomed to fail. We can no longer fight. We can only preserve our strength as much as possible and retreat to Snow Dragon Mountain while Wang Ben is killing Patriarch He!"

Yang Tianhai sighed and said decisively: "Abandon Beiliang City and retreat with all the troops!"

He knew that if he fought to the death, he would only delay the time.

Not only will they be unable to defend Beiliang City, but the price they pay will be even greater.

After Yang Tianhai's order was issued, many people no longer wanted to fight and retreated towards Xuelong Mountain.

Fortunately, he was prepared for the worst outcome.

"Yang Tianhai, you bastard, you will die!"

The He family's ancestor was extremely sad and angry.

He was sold out by Yang Tianhai.

Leave him here to withstand Wang Ben's fierce attack.

The results speak for themselves.

He must die.

But Yang Tianhai had a heart of stone, so how could he pay attention to the roar of the He family ancestor.

They also knew that after the loss of Liang Province, the aristocratic families in the western border would become difficult for them to use.

"Want to run! How is that possible!"

Yang Yun swept his spear, and a rumbling voice spread across the battlefield: "Follow this Duke to chase them down and let the blood of the rebels dye Snow Dragon Mountain red!"

The rebels were completely defeated and fled out of Beiliang City.

Fortunately, Yang Tianhai is a cautious person and likes to make preparations for both situations, otherwise the situation would be even worse.

However, the imperial army pursued them relentlessly.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Countless soldiers were inspired.

The enemy has been defeated, their morale is low, and it is difficult for them to launch an effective counterattack.

I'll kill you while you're sick!

And even if it was not for military merit, so many of their comrades died in the bloody battle in Liangzhou, which made them want to chop off the heads of the rebels and avenge their dead comrades.

Faced with the pursuit of the imperial army, the rebels were trembling with fear, fearing that they would run slower than others.

The brutality that had been suppressed for so long also erupted at this moment.

The chase was extremely bloody, with people hacking and killing along the way.

The white Snow Dragon Mountain.

At this moment, the white snow was covered with a layer of bright blood color.

This pursuit was mainly led by Yang Yun.

Wang Ben was responsible for killing the other strong man.

Yang Yun knows the terrain of the western border better than Wang Ben and can avoid traps.

Boom! The energy of destruction covered the Snow Dragon Mountain, and sections of the mountain exploded, with a large number of human figures spilling blood.

Now, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the most powerful ones are fleeing for their lives.

Because Wang Ben is too terrible.

Just now, the ancestor of the He family, a great master of the seventh level of Tongtian, was killed and his body was shattered into pieces.

Who would dare to stop the extremely terrifying Wang Ben?

Even Yang Tianhai can't do it.

Because if he dared to block him, Duke Yang would come to kill him and join forces with Wang Ben, and he would also die.

The rebel situation got out of control and turned into a unilateral massacre by the imperial army.

While watching the massacre by the imperial army, Yang Yun did not try to stop them, because he knew that the imperial army had been suppressed for too long and needed a killing to release the anger in their hearts.

There is no war without casualties. Daxia has reached this point, and it is no longer possible to resolve it peacefully.

We must stop killing with killing, and then restore order to the world.

It was dark and gloomy, and they chased him all the way along the Snow Dragon Mountain.

Some families that had gradually moved closer to Snow Dragon Mountain due to the Daxia civil war were so frightened after seeing this bloody scene that they quickly fled, fearing that they would be affected by the imperial army.

Yang Yun didn't care about that and killed anyone he met.

Chased for several days.

Before advancing to a certain range of Xuelong Mountain.

Yang Yun then shouted, "General Wang, stop chasing us. If you continue, we must stay away from the Liangzhou area!"

"it is good!"

Wang Ben shouted.

He knows it too.

In areas far away from Liangzhou, there are a large number of ancient families from the Western Territory.

If they pursue too deep and provoke the actions of these ancient families, they will be left alone.

After knowing that the imperial army gave up the attack.

Yang Tianhai also sighed.

He had hoped that the imperial army would become bloodthirsty and pursue the enemy deep into the western border, diverting the disaster eastward, and then use some ancient tribes in the western border to take action and destroy the imperial army.

But the opponent was obviously not carried away by victory.

Now the army of Liangzhou has been defeated.

At this moment, what he should do is not to be depressed, but to plan the next step. He must take a long detour from other places and return to King Ning.

"Although Liangzhou has been lost, the Western Territory and the other three territories will not watch the imperial army easily suppress the rebellion. There is still a chance until the last moment. However, Qianzhou should not be able to return. The imperial army will definitely counterattack Qianzhou, and the prince will retreat."

Yang Tianhai looked at the defeated soldiers around him.

Wang Ben, he remembered this person.

At this moment, the army gathered and returned to Beiliang City.

"We have recaptured Beiliang City and won the Liangzhou Campaign, and you are all heroes of the court!"

Yang Yun and Wang Ben walked into the air, looking at the Great Xia soldiers gathered in Beiliang City.

"We win, we win!"

All the soldiers of Da Xia only reacted at this time from the bloodbath in the war.

They actually captured Beiliang City and made an unprecedented contribution.

A few months ago, who would have thought that the imperial court, which was driven to the imperial capital, could turn the situation around.

Even many generals thought that the outcome was decided.

It was inevitable that Prince Ning would seize the throne.

But now, it is so incredible.

They won.

And Liangzhou was recovered.

The return of the four western states to the imperial court is of great significance.

For them personally, rewards from the court are also indispensable.

In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, there must be a system of clear rewards and punishments to let them know that they will not be treated unfairly if they charge into battle.

After a brief statistical battle report.

In this battle, the ancestor of the He family was killed.

Beishan Hou was seriously injured and would not be able to fight again in a short period of time.

Most of the rebels and Tongtian in the western border were killed.

Most of those who ran away were injured.

Even Yang Yun had never imagined such a great victory before the battle.

After all, he believed that being able to retake Beiliang Prefecture would be the best outcome.

"General Wang, you have accomplished an extraordinary feat this time. You killed so many Tongtian and dealt a heavy blow to the rebels. I admire you!"

Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, having lived up to His Majesty's expectations.

He was also amazed by the large number of people he killed this time.

Enough to go down in history.

"Without Duke Yang and the bloody battles of all the soldiers, we wouldn't have been able to kill so many. This is not an individual achievement, but the credit of everyone."

Wang Ben said with a smile.

He did not take all the credit for himself.

Yang Yun admired Wang Ben more and more.

If the father and son of the Wang family were present when Taizu founded the country, their contributions would not be less than his.

And Wang Ben was not greedy for credit.

In the future, he will be the backbone of Daxia.

Wang Ben continued, "Duke Yang, compile the battle report and send the news back to the court as soon as possible. We did not disappoint His Majesty this time, but there were many casualties in this battle, and we must not let them down."

This battle was indeed brutal.

Of the 50,000 Tiger Guards, 17,000 were killed.

However, despite the heavy losses, Wang Ben knew that the military spirit of the Huben Army had been condensed.

How can a legion that has never experienced a bloody battle become a legend?
With these backbones who have fought through bloody battles, future expansion will be much easier.

The other legions also suffered heavy losses.

Although the cost is great, the rewards are also great.

"Leave it to me. I will record this battle truthfully. The military exploits of all the soldiers are recorded. Daxia has a strict military merit system and will not let them down."

Yang Yun said: "With the four western states back in the hands of the imperial court, the situation has suddenly become clearer, and the connection between Prince Ning and the western border has been cut off from the front. It will be difficult for anyone from the western border to be used by him in the future. It's like cutting off Prince Ning's arm."

He was by no means exaggerating.

Although only two states were recovered.

Prince Ning still has sixteen prefectures under his control.

However, Yanzhou and Liangzhou were lost one after another, the western border suffered heavy losses, and as people's hearts gradually returned to the court, it was like losing an arm.

Yang Yun could predict that the imperial court would launch a major counterattack next.

As people's hearts are demoralized, in a short period of time, one state after another will return to the hands of the imperial court.

How they counterattack afterwards depends on whether they can take the initiative.

And will not be restrained by Prince Ning.

Wang Ben replied, "Duke Yang, you and I still need to stay in Liangzhou and wait for the imperial court's order. In fact, what I am most worried about now is that after we gradually gain an advantage, those ancient families in the western border will disrupt us!"

"They are likely to do so. Chaos is good for them. A stable Great Xia would be extremely painful for them. Only division and internal friction would be the most beneficial to them. For their own sake, they would do it, because if chaos breaks out, they would have no chance at all!"

"Repair Beiliang City, consolidate the defense line of Liangzhou, and redeploy defenses in the four states. We must make good preparations so that we can calmly face various changes."

Yang Yun affirmed: "Let's send the news of the great victory back first!"

imperial capital.

News of the great victory in Liangzhou arrived soon.
