MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1070

   Chapter 1070 Chapter 118 Old Generals and New Generals

   The general who led the troops to attack the battalion is naturally Hou Jingde, the general of the left battalion of the forbidden army.

  Because the imperial court as a whole held a conservative attitude, this time Hou Jingde's attack on the camp was just a test, and he didn't bring a particularly large number of people. In total, there were less than 30,000 people in the two Zhechong residences.

This number was actually calculated accurately. If the Southwest Army was completely unprepared and Hou Jingde successfully attacked the battalion, these people would be enough to defeat the 50,000 people led by Li Shuo and even have the strength to pursue them. It doesn't matter if you lose the battle. There are more than 200,000 imperial guards in the capital, and 20,000 to 30,000 people can't hinder the overall situation.

Hou Jingde is the general of the Zuoying army of the forbidden army, and his subordinates carry more than 100,000 people all the year round. Originally, it is not necessary for him to personally lead troops in a war of this level. His performance has been mediocre in the Forbidden Army for more than ten years, so that, as one of the three heroes of Renchen, he is still unable to control the Forbidden Army.

   But Chong Xuantong is Chong's family after all, no matter who it is, he knows in his heart that he can't control the forbidden army forever. Once the southwest army retreats, the position of the general of the forbidden army will be vacant again.

   Therefore, Hou Jingde urgently needed a military merit that could be seen in the past. When Chong Xuantong proposed to attack the Southwest Army at night, Hou Jingde jumped out first and took the job.

Although he and Li Xin are both old colleagues and friends, and they are also "parties" of the Wei Palace, Hou Jingde is a standard Dajin person. His father and ancestors are soldiers who shed blood for Dajin, and he and Li Xin's friendship was far less profound than the friendship between the Ye family and Li Xin, so between Da Jin and Li Xin, he chose the former without any hesitation, and took the initiative to invite Ying to play the first battle.

   Time passed quickly, and it was time for the ugly time. Hou Jingde’s army was less than ten miles away from the Southwest Army camp.

Hou Jingde took the lead, walking at the front, he looked left and right, frowned slightly: "Something is not right, even if this Li Shuo has no experience in leading troops, he will not be touched by us for ten miles, and he is still completely silent, Li Changan. What a prudent person, how can such a person come out to lead the army?"

Just as he was about to order the army to stop, he felt a faint movement in front of him, and after a while, a subordinate of the scout battalion came to report, and said solemnly to Hou Jingde: "General Hou, the scouts of the Southwest Army seem to have found out. Now that the Southwest Army has taken some action, it seems that it has begun to guard against us."

Hou Jingde finally let go of his heart, he lowered his head slightly, and said solemnly: "This Li Shuo has brought a total of more than 50,000 Southwest troops, so many troops are stationed in one place, and it is impossible to line up for an hour or two, this At that time, we were only ten miles away from them, and it was too late to find out, and when we rushed over, these people may not have climbed out of the tent."

Speaking of this, Hou Jingde said in a low voice: "Brothers, since it has been discovered, there is no need to cover it up. The first cavalry rushes over to set fire to the enemy's formation, and then the soldiers follow me to rush over, remember One point, we only fight until dawn, no matter what the battle situation is before dawn, unless there is another order, we will all start returning to the capital!"

Hou Jingde has been in charge of the left camp of the forbidden army for many years, and this time he brought over his cronies. After receiving Hou Jingde's order, these people immediately took action. The first was a cavalry of about a thousand people who rushed to the southwest army first. In the camp, these cavalry were extremely fast, and they quickly passed through the Southwest Army formation, which was almost unprepared, and came to the Southwest Army's main camp.

   A few torches were thrown down, and the camp of the Southwest Army immediately burst into flames everywhere.

Because the cavalry was extremely fast, after these people set fire to the fire, only a small part of them were left behind by the Southwest Army's shooters, and the other half returned to Hou Jingde's headquarters. General Hou was overjoyed when he saw the Southwest Army tent set on fire, and he got up. , shouted to the soldiers behind him in a deep voice: "Brothers, the Southwest Army's camp is on fire, and the formation is in chaos. Let's take the opportunity to rush over, and we will definitely defeat the Southwest Army!"

   "Kill the past!"

The Gyeonggi Imperial Army was basically all infantry, and it was possible to have one or two thousand cavalrymen pulled out of their teeth, and it was impossible to use cavalry on a large scale. The Southwest Army battalion rushed over.

Among the three heroes of Imchen, he is the only one who is still in charge of the imperial court, but he is also the least conspicuous of the three. If he can defeat the Southwest Army today, his family will be able to guard the door from the capital. It stands out from the crowd and becomes the core of the future Dajin military.

The process of   's charge of the forbidden army was very smooth, hardly encountered any decent obstacles, and rushed all the way to a distance of only four or five miles from the Southwest Army.

   At this time, Hou Jingde had a faint feeling that something was wrong.

  The Southwest Army can hit the capital all the way, and it can never be a rabble. How can it be so easily approached to a distance of four or five miles?

   But when things came to an end, Hou Jingde couldn't bear to think too much. He gritted his teeth, took the lead, and shouted: "Brothers, kill the past and defeat the rebels in the southwest. In the future, you will enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth!"

   Hou Jingde was forty years old when he first met Li Xin. Now more than ten years later, he is already a veteran in his fifties. At this time, he was furious and bearded, rushing to the front, his aura was very scary.

   The two Zhechong manor soldiers behind him followed behind him, spread out the front, and charged towards the southwestern army camp that was on fire.

   When these people were about a mile or two away from the Southwest Army camp, suddenly, an inconspicuous clay pot was thrown over in the distance!

At this time, Tianlei is almost known to everyone, and even the people in the capital know a little bit. Seeing this, Hou Jingde's soul was shocked, he turned his head suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Disperse the formation, spread out Formation!"

  It was too late.

   This is a trap that Li Shuo designed early in the morning, just waiting for the imperial army to get in. Now that the imperial army has already got in, he naturally has no reason not to close the net.

The Southwest Army, which seemed to be in a panic at first, completely disregarded the camp that was on fire at this time. The throwing soldiers who had already been ambushed, threw thunderbolts at Hou Jingde's troops. At the same time, the bowmen already arranged by the Southwest Army also Starting to exert force, the arrows from the sky shot towards the two Zhechong houses.

   Hou Jingde's face turned pale. Although he had never really led troops to fight, he had been in the army all his life. Seeing this scene, he knew very well in his heart that most of the battle could not be resolved.

   The old general snorted and gritted his teeth: "The crossbowmen fought back, and the rest rushed with me with their shields. The formation of these southwestern rebels is disturbed. As long as we can rush, they will soon be defeated!"

The old general   hou held a big gun and took the lead, rushing towards the southwest army camp.

  Beside him, from time to time, thunder exploded, and the explosion of fire illuminated his dark face.

   At this time, Li Shuo, who was watching with a telescopic mirror, was expressionless.

   "You don't need to save firearms, don't let any of the enemies who come tonight get away!"
