Chapter 526: Continue Northward
Gu Nanxi narrowed her eyes. It seemed that the Khan was trying to stalk the cicada while the oriole was behind.
There were probably more than 40,000 Tartars in Wuzhou City in total.
He only has about 50,000 people under his command.
If we go after the Khan now, it will be difficult to stabilize the situation in the city.
After all, killing is also a physical job.
But if we want to stabilize Wuzhou City, it will take at least four or five days. What about food and grass? What if the Khan runs away?
Ma Nantian noticed that Gu Nanxi's brows were furrowed, and he immediately patted his chest and promised: "General, the logistics can be left to our Ma family. We in Wuzhou are at your disposal!"
Gu Nanxi pondered for a moment, then let 10,000 Yunzhou cavalry and 10,000 grassland soldiers rest first, and he took the remaining 30,000 people to massacre Wuzhou.
"Ma Nantian, I will give you a thousand men. You lead this group of men to kill all the Tartar generals."
"Yes, sir! General, what should we do with him?" Ma Nantian pointed at the lord of Wuzhou City.
The Lord of Wuzhou City tried his best to curl himself up into a ball, with snot streaming down his face.
Gu Nanxi didn't even look at him: "Hang it on the altar and let the people of Wuzhou deal with it."
Ma Nantian took a breath.
Obviously, the mayor of Wuzhou City also knew that he had committed many evil things in Wuzhou City, and those Han people wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood!
If we fall into their hands, we will be living a life worse than death!
The mayor of Wuzhou City closed his eyes, made up his mind, and wanted to kill himself by ramming his head into a wall, but was kicked away by Old Man Geng.
Old man Geng wiped his sword coldly. The general asked him to accept the judgment of the people, so he could not die early!
That night, the lights in Wuzhou City were bright, like a purgatory on earth.
The Tartars wailed incessantly, but in the eyes of the common people in Wuzhou City, this wailing was the most beautiful heavenly music!
"General, there is a Tartar hiding in this room!"
"General, this man is a fake, he is a Tartar!"
"General, we captured a few Tartars ourselves!"
The Tatars, who had nowhere to hide, were horrified to find that there were so many Han people in Wuzhou City!
With the help of the people of Wuzhou, the Yunzhou cavalry's pig-slaughtering process was particularly smooth and progressed much faster than Gu Nanxi had expected.
By daybreak, the situation in Wuzhou City had basically stabilized. Except for a few scattered Tatar resistances, most of the rest were suppressed by the Yunzhou cavalry.
Gu Nanxi's eyes were red from staying up late, but he still did not stop his pace of fighting.
"Hass, Ma Nantian, I will give you 30,000 soldiers, including 2,000 musketeers. Defend Wuzhou for me!"
"Yes, sir!" Haas was shaking with excitement.
This is Wuzhou City!
The general entrusted me with the important task of defending the city. How much trust did he place in me? !
After receiving the order, Ma Nantian immediately mobilized the entire Ma family and the major families that were familiar with the Ma family.
The general must continue northward, and the logistics must keep up!
In order to ensure the safety of logistics, the frail ancestor of the Ma family also dragged his sick body and ran around.
During this process, Mr. Sang was very tactful and opened the family granary.
The head of the Sang family was originally a little worried that Ma Nantian would take this opportunity to purge the Sang family. Unexpectedly, Ma Nantian was impartial and not only did he not purge the Sang family, he also recorded how much grain the Sang family donated.
Seeing that Wuzhou City was in good order, Gu Nanxi led 20,000 people who had rested for a night and headed north in pursuit!
…
In the Khan's tent, everyone was arguing.
"We should evacuate quickly! We have come out in full force this time, and the tribe is full of old people and children. If we don't go back, if the Jade-faced King of Hell comes to kill us, our roots will be completely cut off!"
"Are you kidding? This is Wuzhou City! Is Wuzhou so easy to conquer? Wuzhou City is well-fortified, and the Khan has left 30,000 elite soldiers in the city. Even if Gu Nanxi has enough food and grass, it will take a month to fight!"
"Have you been frightened by Gu Nanxi? We were supposed to lead the retreat this time. If we don't even dare to defend Wuzhou, won't we be laughed at to death by the left and right wise kings?"
A group of people were arguing and almost fighting.
Some people thought they had to go back quickly. Seeing that there was no hope of going south this year, they had to go back and prepare winter supplies during the autumn.
Another group of people firmly believed that even if they had to leave, they should not leave now, but should wait until Gu Nanxi withdrew his troops. Otherwise, they would not be able to hold their heads up in front of the left and right wise kings, and would not have the confidence to fight for the pastures in the north in the future.
As for whether Gu Nanxi can break through Wuzhou City, the answer is definitely no!
At the beginning, God of War Gu used pure tricks, colluding with both inside and outside forces, which caused the Tartars to suffer a great loss.
This time, the Tartars had learned their lesson. Before the war started, they had already dealt with all the Han people in the city and kept a close eye on the big Han families.
"Oh no! Oh no! The Jade-faced King of Hell is coming!"
The shrill and panicky sound was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and the entire camp was almost blown up!
The Khan hurried out and took great pains to calm down the tribesmen who wanted to escape on horseback!
The Khan took all the Tartar generals and found a slightly higher hill to look out.
I saw military vehicles with red flags flying on them appearing several miles to the south!
As the chariots moved forward, more and more flags and black dots reflecting cold light climbed up the small hillside until they occupied the entire field of vision. They were so densely packed that they seemed to be more numerous than the Khan's main force!
"The Jade-faced King of Hell is here!"
The Tatars did not dare to act rashly. Deep down they wanted to escape, but the supervisor was holding a scimitar and staring at them from behind!
Khan was confused and bewildered. How could this happen? !
How long has it been since then, and Gu Nanxi has already conquered Wuzhou City? ! How did he do that? !
Gu Nanxi did not act rashly, because this time, Gu Nanxi's strategic goal was to drive the Khan out of the grassland and destroy the opponent's manpower as much as possible.
Gu Nanxi really wanted to annihilate them together, but the Tartars were not fools.
The Tatars are as swift as the wind and as aggressive as thunder. They are natural cavalrymen. They still follow the principle of fighting if they can win and running if they can't.
In order to encircle and annihilate the enemy, your military strength must be twice that of the enemy.
If the enemy was the Tatars, and the battle took place on a vast grassland, it would be difficult to encircle and annihilate them if the force was not three times that of the enemy.
The two sides confronted each other, but both continued to send out cavalry.
The Tartar cavalry did not dare to get too close to the Yunzhou army. Even though the supervisors behind them cursed them, the cavalry still controlled themselves to stay outside the Yunzhou army's shooting range.
The supervisor was so angry that he rushed out and waved his whip at the Rangers: "You coward! The Yunzhou cavalry is almost right in front of us, and you still don't dare to go over!"
As he was cursing, a gunshot was heard and the supervisor fell to the ground with his eyes open.
There was a round hole between his eyebrows, with blood oozing out.
The Tatars were all shocked. What happened just now?
Even the Tartars, with their sharp eyesight, could not see it clearly.
Where are the arrows?
Why is the arrow gone?
The Tartars felt a chill all over their bodies, and looked at Gu Nanxi who was cleaning his gun, with uncontrollable fear in their eyes.
