The grassland turned red.
The ground was corroded by blood.
Scarlet entered his eyes, and his broken limbs were trampled into mud by the warhorses.
Time seemed to have stopped outside the Great Wall.
Countless Hu people were madly swarming toward Gongsun Jing. It was difficult for them to kill two hundred thousand Eastern Hu people. Even if the Overlord was reborn, it would be no more than this. However, Gongsun Jing was not the Overlord.
The moment the army swarmed over.
A spear of the Hu cavalry pierced straight at him.
Suddenly, a heavy shield was placed in front of him, and Tang Heng's sabre, which had its teeth crisscrossed, was raised.
A Xianbei archer's arm was cut off by Tang Hengdao. At this moment, a long spear pierced through his forehead and killed him.
"My lord!"
Gao Shun raised his head slightly.
Even though his face was filled with fatigue, the will to charge forward was still as bright as ever in his eyes.
Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci stood guard on the left and right, while the soldiers of the Breaking Ranks Battalion, Valiant Cavalry Battalion, and White Robe Battalion were killing the enemy.
"You guys are here!"
Gongsun Jing's voice was hoarse and carried a trace of shock.
He charged forward alone, his strength surpassing that of a first-rate general tearing apart the Hu cavalry, yet Zhao Yun and the others still managed to catch up. This was too shocking.
Zhao Yun said solemnly," In the battle of Mount Heng, my lord single-handedly slaughtered his way through Donghu's camp. If I were to let my lord fight alone in the front line again today, how will I face the generals of Youzhou and the gentlemen waiting in the manor of Lord Ye in the future?!"”
"Haha!"
Gongsun Jing laughed.
Throwing the saber in his hand to Gao Shun, he continued to charge his horse to kill.
He was not the Overlord of the West, Xiang Yu. He did not have the strength to fight an army of ten thousand by himself.
However, beside him was the Valiant Cavalry Battalion, the White Robe Battalion, who would follow him in life and death wherever he went, and the Breaking Ranks Battalion, who had the will to die.
The Overlord Spear waved.
The army pierced through the hearts and guts of the Hu cavalry like a sharp cone.
One after another, Donghu Guardians fell to their feet.
The Breaking Ranks Camp began to suffer heavy casualties. The long period of fighting had long exhausted their hostility.
At that moment, Gao Shun gave the order to abandon the heavy shields and the crossbows on his back. There was only charge and no defense.
The dead heroic spirits roared in the cold wind.
The living warriors went against the tide of the berserk army.
The soldiers of the sixth camp all faced the front, staring at the black light at the very front, looking for a chance to break through the 200,000 Donghu soldiers. It was as if they could already see the victory that hundreds of thousands of people in Bing Province were looking forward to.
The fierce soldiers are fearless.
The enemy was frightened.
The fear of fighting to the death filled the Donghu camp.
The multiple times death rate made them afraid to move forward.
The 3rd Battalion, which was charging at the front, was like a white vortex that swallowed countless Hu riders, crushing them into minced meat and trampling them under its feet.
The enemy can be destroyed, and the yaks can be destroyed.
I stepped on Hu's intestines and waded in Hu's blood.
Hanging in the blue sky of Hu, buried beside Hu Zi plug.
There was no one in the Hu people, and the road of the Han Dynasty flourished.
At this moment, the poem of the Immortal Poet was being proven.
The Hu Cavalry Army had already begun to collapse. Countless Hu Cavalry soldiers had died outside Ping City and were buried at the foot of Mount Daqing, covering the entire grassland.
"Run, quickly run!"
"The Han army is a demon. They can't be killed!”
"Don't they know that they are exhausted?”
East Lake Control String began to retreat, wanting to escape from this nightmare land as soon as possible.
On a tall horse, Bu Dugen's eyes were filled with horror, and his body trembled as he said,""Is this really a Han?”
"Retreat!"
"Retreat quickly, we have too many casualties!”
Tadun roared in horror. He was afraid of one person and a group of people.
Even when Tan Shihuai ruled the plains and was known as the king of the plains, he had never felt this way.
"Retreat?"
Bu Dugen gritted his teeth and roared," We can't retreat this time. Gongsun Changping's main force hasn't gathered yet. If we let him live, he will definitely go to the grasslands in the future. He is only twenty years old this year. Do you want to witness a second Wei Huo and become a second Xiongnu yourself?"”
"We can't retreat!"
Tadun gripped his saber tightly and roared at the approaching soldiers.
Bu Dugen looked at his guards and said resolutely,""After fighting for so long, even a god would be exhausted. If we lead our personal guards to kill Gongsun Changping, no one in the Great Han Dynasty will be able to stop us.”
"Boom!"
The thirteen prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty shared the world.
It instantly echoed in Tadun's ears, arousing the greed in his heart.
"Kill them!"
Tadun raised his scimitar and led the Wuhuan Guards to charge forward.
It was the same for Bu Dugen. He and Tadun were now bound together. If he was forced to flee to the eastern Xianbei and bow down to Ke Bi Neng, he might as well fight to the death in Ping City. He might even become an existence that surpassed Tan Shihuai.
Three hundred steps.
Two hundred steps.
A hundred steps.
The two armies were less than a hundred steps away from each other.
In the middle, there were nearly a thousand Donghu soldiers controlling the bowstrings, attacking Gongsun Jing and the soldiers of the three battalions.
However, this was only Shui Zhongyue. She couldn't withstand a single blow and turned into a pile of corpses in the blink of an eye, trampled under the feet of the army.
"Gongsun Changping!"
Tadun roared and charged over.
Zhao Yun's eyes were fierce.
Holding his spear, he rode the jade lion and charged forward.
At this moment, Bu Dugen was also fighting Taishi Ci.
Gongsun Jing did not stop.
He even ignored the two of them and directly led the army forward, wanting to kill through the 200,000 flux control army.
The four of them did not fight for long before Tadun and Budugen were killed by their horses. Even the royal flag that stood among the Hu cavalry guards was broken.
"Chanyu is dead!"
"The king is dead. Run!"
After the flags of the Donghu and the other two clans were broken.
The faces of the Wuhuan and Xianbei soldiers turned pale as they frantically fled into the depths of the grassland.
Even Gongsun Jing was unable to stop them and chase after them.
Because the soldiers of the cavalry unit were too tired, even their warhorses trembled the moment they stopped.
A battle to defend the plains.
The battle began at Si o'clock and only stopped when the sun set.
The corpses of the Hu Cavalry and the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion were strewn across the grassland, emitting sorrowful cries.
Tadun was killed.
He was killed in Pingcheng.
The news spread throughout the plains within a few days.
Gongsun Changping's name was far beyond the Great Wall, surpassing the White Horse General Gongsun Zan.
Even the names of the Ye Marquis Manor and the Sixth Camp were remembered by the nomads of the grassland.
Central Xianbei.
After He Lian received the news, he led his clansmen to retreat hundreds of miles away from the border of Youzhou overnight.
Kirbineng was even more direct. He led his army to retreat to the vicinity of Fuyu, leaving only a few tribes to harass the northern border.
Even Gongsun Du of Liaodong had withdrawn from Liaoxi Prefecture and had stationed his army at the Daling River of Liaoxi Vassal State.
Three days later.
The soldiers of the Sixth Battalion cleaned up the battlefield outside Ping City.
Out of the 53,000 soldiers, less than 30,000 survived, and more than 120,000 were wiped out. The difference in casualties was six times. Other than the system's special characteristics and equipment, the bravery of the soldiers was the core of this victory.
Late August.
The King's division of the army at Ping City presented their victory.
The dead heroes were all buried at the foot of Mount Daqing, waiting for the army to go out on an expedition in the future.
Every city that the army passed through.
Countless commoners came out of the city to send them off, watching as the army headed towards the Yin Mansion.
At the city gate of Yin Mansion.
Dozens of tall stone tablets were engraved with names.
From the battle to recover Shangdang to the battle to defend Ping City, every soldier who died in battle was listed on the stone tablet.
"Gulp!"
Gongsun Jing took a sip of wine and placed the wine jar under a stone tablet.
On it were the commanders who had died in battle. Starting from Yang Feng, there were the deputy generals of the Valiant Cavalry Battalion, the Breaking Ranks Battalion, the White Robe Battalion Lieutenant, and so on. There were hundreds of them!
"My lord!"
Du Xi appeared behind Gongsun Jing and said in a low voice,""The wills of all the soldiers who died in battle have been sent out. The compensation for this battle has been tripled. The families of the soldiers will be supported by the local government and will be listed on the list of heroes!”
"How many months has it been?"
Gongsun Jing said hoarsely.
Du Xi pursed his lips and said bitterly," It's already September. It's the autumn harvest!”
"Autumn harvest!"
Gongsun Jing looked in the direction of Ping City and said hoarsely,"It's almost winter. It seems like we won't be able to accomplish our goal of going to the frontier this year. However, Bu Dugen is dead, and ninety percent of the western Xianbei's main force is gone. They should be fleeing towards the central and eastern Xianbei.”
"Here!"
Du Xi bowed respectfully.
Gongsun Jing turned around and walked toward the city.
A man with a huge axe on his back walked towards the stone tablet.
However, he didn't care. After returning to the Yin Mansion for a few days, he saw countless people coming to pay their respects to the heroes who had died in battle.
Inside Yin Mansion.
In the main hall of the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
Guo Jia and the other generals had already swept away their fatigue and were sitting on the left and right with their wounds bandaged.
"My lord!"
He saw Gongsun Jing and Du Xi enter the hall.
Everyone quickly stood up, including Du Rao, the new Prefecture Overseer.
"Sit down!"
Gongsun Jing swept his gaze across the troops and said in a deep voice,""It's already September, and we've lost nearly half of our battalions. It's not enough for us to go on an expedition to the Frontier. Ten days later, we'll return to Ye City and gather more soldiers. I hope that everyone will remember the battle at Ping City. Even we won by a narrow margin.”
"Here!"
The generals said with a fierce gaze.
Gongsun Jing turned to Wang Dang and said in a deep voice,""Wang Dang, stay in Bingzhou and gather 5,000 regular troops to guard Ping City. Next year, we will first pacify Liaodong and then conquer the frontier. At that time, I will bring the Youzhou army out of the frontier.”
"Here!"
Wang Dang said resolutely.
Gongsun Jing looked at Du Rao and said," Old man, you're an old man in Bingzhou. You should know the habits of the foreign tribes. Give Wang Dang some pointers!"”
"Don't worry, my lord!"
"If Bingzhou is to perish, the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion will be the first to perish!" Du Rao said with a determined expression.”
"Da!"
Gongsun Jing swept his gaze across the prefects and said in a deep voice,""You are all new mayors of the nine counties in Bing Province. No matter where you were scholars or officials, you are now in the border counties. I hope that the government under your jurisdiction will be worthy of the Lord Ye's Mansion and the people.”
"Here!"
The eight county governors stood up and said respectfully.
Gongsun Jing looked at Guo Jia and said,"Fengxiao, send a message to Ye City. Send out the announcement for the battle of Ping City. Then, get the soldiers to recruit soldiers!"”
"Here!"
Guo Jia bowed.
"Disperse!"
Gongsun Jing waved his hand.
On the same day, the officials of the Prefecture Overseer's Office of Bingzhou rode to Ye City.
Ten days later, the sixth battalion of the Ye Marquis Manor set off, bringing Guo Jia and Du Xi back to Jizhou.
Early October.
The news of the battle in Ping City spread to all directions.
Tian Kai and Zou Dan from the Prefecture Overseer's Office of Youzhou saw that the news from the Lord Ye's Office was not related to the battle at Ping City.
Even though they wanted to return to Fan Yang to present Gongsun Zan with victory, the visit that Hu Ling had sent out made them afraid to step into that mansion.
Within Yanzhou.
Chen Liu, in the state shepherd's house.
Xun Yu handed the notice to Cao Cao.
"We won!"
Cao Cao rubbed his forehead.
Xun Yu nodded and said in a deep voice," A great victory. 53,000 fierce soldiers versus 200,000 Donghu archers. More than 20,000 died in battle, and more than 120,000 enemies were killed. The gap of six times was terrifying to the extreme. Gongsun Changping became a god in one battle. He was the true number one general in the world!”
"Victory?"
"It's a great victory for you!"
Cao Cao's eyes swept across the notice and said in a deep voice,""To Gongsun Changping, this war was a tragic victory. His original intention was to go on an expedition to the Great Wall this year and destroy the Wuhuan and Xianbei royal courts in the west. However, he didn't expect Tadun and Budugen to be so ruthless. They gathered 200,000 troops in the frontier fortress.”
"Perhaps!"
Xun Yu replied with a bitter smile.
They defeated the enemy with fewer people, killing the enemy and causing nearly six times the casualties.
If this was considered a miserable victory, then there was no such thing as a great victory in this world.
Cao Cao looked at Man Chong and said,""Bonin, ever since the notice on Mount Daqing was sent out, how many people have gone from Yanzhou to Jizhou in the past few months?”
"My lord!"
Man Chong bowed and said," There are many righteous men who have gone to Bingzhou, but no great talents have been lost. However, there are many people from Yuzhou who have gone to Jizhou through the road. There is even a young man surnamed Xu from Qiao County who has gone to Jizhou with 500 local soldiers. However, I estimate that by the time he arrives, Gongsun Changping will have returned to Ye City!”
Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly." Gongsun Changping has gained both fame and fortune this time. The lord even added fuel to the fire!"”
"You can't say that!"
Cao Cao raised his head and smiled." Gongsun Changping is my greatest enemy if he is alive. But if he dies, it will be a loss for the entire world. No matter what, he deserves this respect!”
"Da!"
"Da!"
Xun Yu paced back and forth for a few steps." My lord," he said in a deep voice," I think we should change our strategy and not attack Xuzhou!"”
"What did you say?"
Cao Cao frowned.
Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and said confidently," Liu Bei owes the lord a favor. He is now the governor of Xuzhou. Yuan Shu has lost many talents and people. If we invite Liu Bei to Yuzhou next year, the righteous cause is that Yuan Shu will take the jade seal for himself. He has the intention of rebelling!”
"Is there a difference?" Cao Cao frowned.”
"Of course!"
" Lu Bu is a tiger," Xun Yu said resolutely." Liu Bei cherishes the name of benevolence and righteousness and let him stay in Xiapi for the time being. If he wants to attack Yuzhou, he must leave a part of his army behind to prevent trouble before it happens. Our two armies can take the opportunity to attack Yuan Shu and swallow him up. After our army wins, we can return to Xuzhou and settle the two prefectures in one battle!"”
"Brilliant plan!"
The eyes of Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun, and the others lit up.
