Chapter 86 Full Line Defeat
"Bang!"
The cry of the golden eagle cuts through the sky.
The farmland in the distance is endless.
Originally, it should have been Taizhou during the spring ploughing season, but now the fields are overgrown with grass and there are no pedestrians.
Liu Xia sat in a Taishi chair and looked up into the distance. At this moment, there was a calm between heaven and earth, and only the Wang Qi hunting behind him was ringing.
On both sides of Liu Xia, there are about 20,000 people. At this moment, they are ready to be killed.
At this time, Zhang Zong hurriedly fell from the sky. After landing, he knelt on the ground and hugged his fist and said, "Your Highness, Yong'an City has been broken. Now the army has entered Yong'ancheng, and the whole line of the Nangong garrison has been defeated, and now it is fleeing to us.
At this time, a group of fast horses came quickly. Before the immediate spies arrived at the army, they turned over and got off the horse. They hurriedly ran to Liu Xia's front and hugged their fists and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Song has arrived at the predetermined position."
"Very good. Let's wait for them to die now."
Liu Xia sneered.
In less than half an hour, from the other end of the horizon, I saw a soldier who had lost his armor. They were like homeless dogs, panicking all day long.
These soldiers were the Nangong soldiers who were defeated from Yong'an. Yong'an City was broken and the commander was killed. Such a chaotic situation was expected by Liu Xia.
"Spying, meet!"
Liu Xia immediately got up and shouted angrily.
The sound of the shocking battle drums rumbled, and the waiting Jiangzhou army immediately began to split the army.
I don't know how many soldiers of the Nangong family fled on the opposite side, and they are all over the mountains.
"Boom!"
At this time, a fireball with a gorgeous tail fell to the ground like a meteor. After a loud noise, the field in the distance was suddenly swallowed up by pieces of fire.
Those Nangong soldiers, like headless flies, fell to the ground piece by piece.
"Fight!"
Under the order of the messenger, all the soldiers pulled out their weapons.
About 3,000 cavalrymen in the front row began to slowly press forward.
And the infantry behind them began to advance towards the enemy with neat steps.
When the enemy was less than 500 meters away from them, the sound of war drums suddenly accelerated.
"Let's go!"
Immediately, the Jiangzhou army bumped into the other side's defeated army like a tide.
In an instant, the cavalry in front of them knocked away all the soldiers soaked in the front, waved the long knife in their hands, and immediately the army's blood stained the earth.
The infantry behind him arrived immediately, and the two armies immediately went to war.
For a moment, the sound of fighting, screaming and fighting on the battlefield resounded through the sky.
In less than a few minutes, a corpse appeared on the ground.
No one commanded these defeated troops and escaped from Yong'an City to survive.
Now when they saw such an ambush, they knew that they would not be able to kill, so they immediately changed their direction and headed northwest.
At this time, the sound of gold sounded, and the imperial army began to retreat one after another.
Liu Xia stood high and watched the soldiers of the Nangong family fleeing to the northwest, and couldn't help smiling.
Yong'an City is only a stronghold of the second barrier of the Nangong family. Most of the escaped soldiers instinctively went to their hometowns. Now that they are cut off by Liu Xia, they can only look for several places in Maoping strongholds.
In this way, the army of the Nangong family was completely blocked along Yong'an City. At this moment, the sailors have begun to rectify the south. When Taohua Island is broken, the Nangong family will be completely destroyed, and as long as the army here is surrendered, it can stabilize the situation in the south.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the scattered army of the Nangong family could no longer be seen. What replaced them was the Southern Expedition Army that had just been chased from Yong'an City.
A moment later, Zhang Haotian, the deputy general of the Nangong Army, arrived before Liu Xia's army with a vote.
"Wei minister Zhang Haotian pays a visit to His Royal Highness."
"Get up, how about the Yong'ancheng war?"
"Your Highness, Yong'an City has been captured by the army. Now there are still sporadic enemies trapped in the city, and the army is eliminating the remaining enemies."
Zhang Haotian hugged his fist and said.
"Very good, wave to the north!"
Liu Xia sneered.
Immediately, the army began to start. After meeting with Zhang Haotian's troops, they began to go along the Maoping line.
In less than two hours, Liu Xia's army arrived outside Maoping City.
Maoping and Yong'an are dependent on each other. Now Yong'an is lost, and the enemies in Maoping City are trembling.
At this moment, many generals from the Southern Expedition have gathered outside Maoping City, and the vast army has surrounded Maoping City.
After entering the big account of the Chinese army, many generals saluted Liu Xia one after another.
"Guys, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's been a hard battle all the way."
Liu Xia sat in the position of the coach and smiled faintly.
"We will be loyal to the country and die."
Immediately, all the generals hugged their fists and shouted.
"Your Highness, the Nangong army that escaped from Yong'an City has entered cities such as Maoping and Nanba. Weichen wants to ask for instructions, when will we start attacking Maoping?
Song Tianyou asked with a fist.
"The Nangong army still has more killings now?"
Liu Xia asked.
"According to a rough estimate, they suffered heavy losses in Yuanhui City. After retreating to the second line, another batch was annihilated. The sailors of the Nangong family were all destroyed. After three battles, there are less than 250,000 people in the Nangong family, and I'm afraid there are less than 80,000 people left.
Nangong Tianyou said with a fist.
"Your Highness, although there are 80,000 soldiers left, they are all the elite of the Nangong family. If we take advantage of their chaos now and we attack, we can get twice the result with half the effort.
Liu Rong said with a fist.
"Weichen is willing to take the lead in attacking Maoping City as a pioneer."
Immediately, Zhang Haotian knelt on the ground and said, and then many generals knelt on the ground and asked to fight.
"Ha ha, I already understand the meaning of bravery. It's just that I want to adjust the next battle plan slightly.
Liu Xia got up and said lightly.
The generals below, look at me, I look at you.
This is a good time to take advantage of the victory. Liu Xia seems to be ready to give up this.
"Gentlemen, these more than 80,000 people are the elites of the Nangong family. There are 80,000 people, and there are more than 200,000 fellow villagers. We came to Taizhou to calm out the chaos, not to be a robber. I mean, all the elites of the Nangong family are trapped here by us, and Peach Blossom Island is guarded against emptiness. If we go straight to Huanglong at this moment, we will completely destroy the Nangong family. Then he came back to recruit 80,000 people, which was a cost-effective deal. If these 80,000 people can be used for me, it will be much easier to deal with the pirates. What do you think?
Liu Xia asked.
"Your Highness is wise and kind-hearted. Weichen and others are willing to listen to the dispatch. It's just that Weichen is worried that these 80,000 elites are loyal to the Nangong family, and most of the backbones are under the command of the Nangong family. Isn't it inappropriate for us to let the tiger go back to the mountain?
Liu Rong said with a fist.
"I know all your concerns in my heart. The reason why the Nangong family is stubborn is that they are fearless. You don't have to worry about this. After capturing Peach Blossom Island, I will naturally reassure you.
Liu Xia said with a smile.
As soon as everyone heard this, Liu Xia just thought it was a good plan. Then they will wait and see what happens.
In fact, it proves that although Liu Xia is a novice in leading troops in the war, there is no need to argue about the long-term vision and strategy.
This destruction of the Nangong family's water master and the complete chaos of the Nangong family's overall plan can explain everything.
"Weichen obeyed Your Highness's dispatch."
Immediately, all the generals hugged their fists and said.
"Gentlemen, from now on, the army will be mobilized to be stationed in Maoping, Xinye, Nanba and other cities. The Nangong army was completely besieged in the city, cutting off their supplies and blocking their retreat. Stop their army from going south. Then, after all this is completed, I will order you to dispatch 3,000 elite soldiers to each of you, and the head of your families will personally go to besiege Taohua Island. In this way, I will fulfill my previous promise. What do you think?"
Liu Xia said with a smile.
Everyone nodded and praised as soon as they heard it.
Before the war began, Liu Xia promised them that they would first capture the clan of Peach Blossom Island and give priority to the division of the territory of the Nangong family.
Now, this opportunity is finally placed in front of them, and naturally no one opposes it.
"We have no objection."
Immediately, many family heads hugged their fists and said.
"Okay, arrange the army's defense line immediately. Two days later, we gathered at the wharf of Yong'an City.
Liu Xia said with a smile.

"Master, the last batch of goods has been shipped."
The old housekeeper stood on the side of Nangong Tianwen and bowed his waist and said.
Nangong Tianwen carried his hands on his back. Under the wind window, he looked at the blue sky and nodded slightly.
At this moment, there is a noise in Qianji's house.
Countless servants are packing up their things, because Qianji Mansion is dismissing his servants and sending them away.
"How is the front-line battle?"
Nangong Tian asked.
"Yong'an City was conquered the day before yesterday. For example, the imperial army besieged our elites on the front line of Maoping and could not move. In Nanba City, we have run out of food.
The old housekeeper said worriedly.
"It seems that Liu Xia's people are about to arrive at Peach Blossom Island. What about our people?"
Nangong Tian asked.
"All your elites stationed around Nangong's house have been withdrawn to Peach Blossom Island. There are more than 1,000 people in the clan who are 20 years old and you are not on the front line, plus a total of 13,000 people stationed here.
The old housekeeper said.
"Very good. After you send the servants, you can leave here with the last batch of goods in person."
Nangong Tianwen said.
The old housekeeper was very grateful when he heard this.
After all, this is the last position of the Nangong family. It is estimated that the next war will be very cruel.
Stay here and have little chance of survival.
Let him leave, and he will live. However, in shock, the old housekeeper knelt on the ground and said, "Master, won't you go?"
"I have lived such a long life, and I have lived long enough. The only regret in this life is that it has not surpassed the divine level. I will stay and fight with Liu Xia in person. Otherwise, will you go to Huangquan to meet the ancestors of the Nangong family?
Nangong Tian asked with a wry smile.
"The head of the family..."
"Go ahead."
Before the old housekeeper finished speaking, Nangong Tianwen waved his hand and said.
The old housekeeper could only get up. After bowing deeply, he couldn't help bursting into tears and turned away.
After Nangong Tianwen heard the sound of the old housekeeper closing the door, he couldn't help clenching his fist.
"Liu Xia, I'd like to see what you have to do to kill me!"
