285 The King Wu's Rebels Are Destroyed!
Danyang city.
The generals of the court, as well as the Danyang soldiers guarding the city and the 50,000 soldiers of the court, were shocked when they saw this scene outside the city.
Even the Wu army soldiers on the city stopped fighting and looked at the drastic changes outside the city in shock.
They thought there was still a hard battle to fight.
At the West City Gate, more than 100,000 Wu army attacked wildly. The defending city army probably had to pay an extremely heavy price to defend the city.
This battle may be fought until dark.
However, the sudden massacre of the Imperial Guards shocked both of them.
Emperor Xiang Yanran personally led the army and seized the retreat of King Xiang Bi of Wu.
The 50,000 dark green iron cavalry were like sharp swords that suddenly unsheathed, and they penetrated into the Wu cavalry camp, destroying the two Wu cavalry camps.
King Xiang Bi of Wu was defeated and led his crown prince Xiang Xian, ministers of the Wu State, and the generals, under the protection of thousands of light cavalry, broke out of the encirclement and fled in a hurry.
Without the cover of the two Wu army's cavalry camp.
The remaining dozen Wu army battalions had no resistance in front of the most elite imperial guards of the Great Chu Dynasty.
The 50,000 imperial guards were too lazy to pay attention to their miscellaneous soldiers, but they just chased and killed the fleeing Wu cavalry.
The two elite infantry camps of the Wu army had been exhausted and could not escape. How could they fight in despair?
At the city of Danyang City, the Wu army had no will to fight. The 50,000 imperial guards outside the city could not escape even if they were chased.
He simply threw away his sword and surrendered directly.
The black army was overwhelmed by more than 100,000 soldiers of Wu, throwing their guns and removing their armor, and submitting them to the ground, but did not dare to resist.
The emperor wouldn't kill them all.
"Father is so awesome!"
Prince Xiang Tiange stood on the top of the city, looking at Xiang Yanran's heroic figure, his eyes shining.
If he had such a day, he would be proud of all the heroes on the battlefield.
Xiang Tiange ran down the city, rode his horse, and headed towards the emperor's emperor's command.
"See the Emperor!"
The generals of Danyang City, Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, and the generals of various battalions, went out of the city to pay homage to the emperor.
The emperor's surprise attack was too powerful.
The fighter planes caught are too accurate!
Take action fiercely!
With one sword, King Xiang Bi of Wu had more than 100,000 troops, and there was no room for struggle.
They can only admire them.
Xiang Yanran looked at Chu Tianxiu with a faint smile.
"Congratulations to the emperor, the emperor personally led his troops to win the Danyang victory! The leader of the rebels of the princes, the 250,000 army of King Wu, was destroyed under the emperor's iron hooves! The emperor's power is so powerful that he blesses the great Chu!"
Chu Tianxiu immediately shouted loudly.
Xiang Yanran couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Xiao Hunhou is indeed sensible. He is not like those brainless reckless men who know nothing but fighting, killing and killing.
"Well, the battle in Danyang is related to the general trend of the world.
King Xiang Bi of Wu regarded himself very well and regarded himself as the most powerful general of the Great Chu. He must have thought that I did not dare to leave Jinling, and the 50,000 imperial guards did not dare to leave Jinling City.
I will now let everyone in the world know that King Wu is just a native chicken and a tile dog in front of me.
Now that the 250,000 troops of King Wu are destroyed, half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River is stable. I am finally stable on the side of my bed."
Xiang Yanran smiled and said, "Little Hunhou, Li Yu, you two fight well in this battle! The King of Wu used his hard work and failed to capture Danyang City. You have made great contributions to defending the city. Looking back, I will definitely reward you!"
Chu Tianxiu's heart is clear.
The emperor's contribution was to defeat the King of Wu, the leader of the rebellious princes.
His achievements were to defend Danyang City.
Since the emperor wanted to take this first-class contribution himself, he could not compete with the emperor for his merit.
"Emperor, after the defeat of the King of Wu, the King of Wu's old nest, Kuaiji County, needs a group of capable people to clear the remnants.
Many of the imperial examination and Jinshi were still idle at home and had no official position. It would be better to let them go to various counties in Wu County and serve as county magistrates, and completely eliminate the remaining local forces of the King of Wu."
Chu Tianxiu smiled.
"Well, this move is feasible, I'm sure! The county magistrate will let these new Jinshi try their skills. As for the county magistrate of Kuaiji County... I transferred Xie Anran over, and he has made great contributions and is also very capable. Let him clean up the forces left by the King of Wu!"
Xiang Yanran thought for a while and agreed.
The court must have taken back the fiefdom of King Wu. Let the new Jinshi trainees go to the training and just gather the local authority.
These new Jinshi were brought out by Xiao Hunhou.
It can be considered as giving Chu Tianxiu some rewards.
After the destruction of King Wu, Wanling City also had less effect.
The governor of Kuaiji County must have someone who is trustworthy enough to clear out the remnants of the King of Wu. The prince-in-law Xie Anran should be able to shoulder this important task.
"Emperor, Jinling cannot be guarded by the emperor and 50,000 imperial guards. The princes of Jiangbei are all ready to look for opportunities to cross the south. Please go back early!"
Li Yu advised.
"Well, I can't stay in Danyang for too long. You can immediately deal with these remnants of the Wu army, capture them and take out a solution.
I will also return to Jinling City as soon as possible so that the princes in Jiangbei will have an opportunity to take advantage of.
You should hurry up and clean up the chaos in Danyang City. Prepare an army, cross the river and head north, and destroy the princes in Jiangbei as soon as possible.
The civil strife of the Great Chu Dynasty will be resolved within two or three months as soon as possible. Otherwise, the chaos will be damaged if it takes a long time. After the Huns enter autumn, they will definitely invade in large quantities. I am afraid that the border will be unstable."
Xiang Yanran nodded.
He and the generals of the imperial court guarding the city in Danyang praised one by one, gathered a large army of 50,000 imperial cavalry, and quickly headed towards the Jinling imperial capital.
It is extremely risky for the emperor to leave the imperial capital.
If the princes of Jiangbei received the news, they would lead tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of troops across the river and go south, and attacked and seized the extremely empty imperial capital, and defended the world with the most powerful city in the world... the Great Chu Emperor was shocked, and the country would be unstable.
...
Emperor Xiang Yanran brought the excited prince Xiang Tiange and the 50,000 imperial guards. After the battle, he quickly returned to the Jinling imperial capital.
The more than 100,000 defeated prisoners of Wu's army in Danyang City were of course left to Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu to deal with.
"General Zuo, how to deal with the prisoners of Wu's army?"
The court generals asked.
"The Wu army had a total of 50,000 elite soldiers, with an estimated casualties of 25,000. The remaining more than 20,000 elite soldiers were left behind.
It was the time for the imperial court to use troops and soon cross the river to the north. It broke up all the elite troops of the King of Wu and then mixed them into our imperial army.
If a captive general is above the Wu army, he will be exempted from death. He will be detained and will be released from his hometown after five to ten years of hard work."
Chu Tianxiu thought for a while and ordered.
"The 120,300,000 miscellaneous soldiers, please comfort them. Select 20,000 to 30,000 strong people and send them to Danyang ore mining. Those who are honest and willing to work can be blacksmiths.
