Fu Xiaoguan's main force was just about to set up camp, but his heart suddenly felt empty.
A bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart, making him feel palpitations and uneasy!
This was a feeling he had never experienced in his life. He looked towards the direction of Huayue City and suddenly gave an order: "All troops, march quickly to Huayue City!"
…
…
People say that history is written by the victors. There are indeed different records in history books about the story of Daxia's Northern Expedition.
These records are comments on Fu Xiaoguan, the first emperor of Daxia.
According to official history, Fu Xiaoguan's life marked a turning point when he left Linjiang and went to Jinling.
From then on, until the establishment of Daxia, until he personally led the army to the north, everything he did was for the country and the people. He was tolerant even towards the people of other countries.
For example, in the three countries of the Leah continent, he never asked his subordinates to massacre the people.
Therefore, the First Emperor of Daxia was kind and benevolent.
But in unofficial history, some historians do not think so.
They believe that the rise of Fu Xiaoguan, the first emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, was paved with the blood of his enemies.
Whether it was the earliest bandit suppression in Pingling Mountain, or the later Battle of Qipan Pass, the outer city of Jianmen, or the Battle of Dingding in Huazhong Plain, these battles, large and small, were the foundation of his rise.
Of course, unofficial history also wrote extensively about his great achievements, admitting that if it were not for him, Daxia would not have been able to develop so rapidly, and it would have been even more impossible for the four corners of the country to submit to it and come to pay tribute.
However, unofficial history also tells about the Northern Expedition, believing that this battle is a reflection of the true character of Fu Xiaoguan, the first emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty!
…
…
It was already dusk when Chen Po and the Fourth Army arrived at Huayue City.
A hundred thousand strong troops were approaching Huayue City, with bomb craters of varying depths under their feet. There was also a smell of burning on the huge battlefield. Through the telescope, he saw the enemy defenders on the city wall, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
There were corpses of Marines on the ground, which meant that He Sandao had been there a long time ago.
What about He Sandao?
He looked around with the telescope, then opened his mouth in horror, his breath caught in his throat, unable to swallow for a long time -
He saw He Sandao's body hanging on a flagpole!
He shed two lines of tears -
Back then, in Fenglin Mountain in Xishan, He Sandao and Guan Xiaoxi came together to join the Divine Sword Army.
General Bai Yulian was transferred to Wu Dynasty by His Majesty. These two were trained by Chen Po himself!
Like master and apprentice, but more like brothers!
Your Majesty's words came true, He Sandao really attacked the city!
It seems that all 10,000 Marines died here, including Tang Qianjun!
He put down the telescope, swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and suddenly drew out the long sword behind him, roaring -
"Everyone of the Fourth Army, listen up!"
"Take over Huayue City and avenge Commander He!"
The loud charge horn resounded through the sky.
Amir, who was still grieving over Asoka's funeral in the city, quickly put on his armor and rushed to the top of the city wall. What he saw was a large mass of Daxia soldiers rushing towards him frantically!
Now he only has 100,000 defenders, more than half of whom are civilians from Huayue City.
He had been expecting Prince Sangjiayi to arrive with a million new troops, but he had not expected the Great Xia Army to arrive earlier.
"Everyone, pick up your guns and kill them!"
Chen Po's troops of 100,000 men rose from the ground and flew into the air in a black mass. "Bang bang bang..." Fierce gunshots suddenly rang out, and a large number of soldiers defending the city were shot and fell to the ground.
He Sandao wiped out 500,000 people from the Peacock Kingdom at the cost of 10,000 people!
He created excellent conditions for Chen Po's troops to attack the city, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers defending the city were no match for Chen Po's troops.
The bodies on the city walls were not removed.
When Chen Po led his troops to the top of the city wall, he realized how brutal the battle was.
Now he had no time to care about anything else. He commanded ten divisions to launch a crazy revenge on the enemy.
The enemy defenders only held out for a cup of tea before being defeated, and the Fourth Army occupied the city wall.
The enemy general Kiran was killed in the battle, and Amir retreated to the palace under the protection of 3,000 guards.
The people of Huayue City had already been in a panic. They had not expected that the soldiers of Daxia would come so quickly and be so brutal.
Chen Po stood on the city wall, looking at the brightly lit Huayue City, and issued the following orders -
"Clear out all the corpses of our comrades!"
"First Division, Second Division, Third Division... Surround the enemy's palace and await His Majesty's arrival."
"The rest of the divisions... hold the city walls, because we have another tough battle ahead!"
Chen Po suddenly flew up, cut the rope with a knife, hugged He Sandao in his arms, and landed on the city wall.
He Sandao's body was covered with holes, but there was no blood in those holes anymore, as his blood had already drained out.
Chen Po knelt on the ground. At that moment, the past events came to his mind and he burst into tears.
"Didn't you say your life is harder than rock?"
"Wake up for me!"
"Back in Fenglin Mountain, you said you'd treat me to a drink. Why did you leave without even finishing the wine?!"
"...Are you stupid? His Majesty has long said that when the enemy's weapons are enough to threaten our lives, we must use our brains in battle. Where's your brain?"
Many soldiers stood solemnly with sad expressions.
Although He Sandao had never been their army commander, the name He Sandao was extremely famous throughout the Daxia Army and the Daxia Navy!
He loves money and he says the purpose of war is to make money.
But after every war, he lost all his original capital.
He is extremely strict when training his subordinates, but they are like brothers in private.
He always led the charge in every battle and was always the first to find where the enemy hid their silver. He would not care about the consequences of military law and would get some silver for his brothers. Then he would go to apologize to the emperor, sit in front of the wall, and use the silver earned by the sixth daughter of the Zhong family to pay compensation.
He said that you are soldiers and will be discharged one day. Although the country will give you a generous retirement pay, you have not been at home to take care of your wives and children for so many years. You have been running around for Daxia and may be sacrificed at any time.
This is something that the severance pay cannot make up for.
This is something that money cannot make up for.
But this money can be saved more, and life after retirement can be better.
It was precisely because of his words and actions that His Majesty paid attention to veterans and improved the resettlement of veterans.
All of this was achieved by He Sandao.
But now... he has retired from the army, and still uses this method.
Chen Po stood up, raised his head and sighed, "Everyone... take off your hats and salute Commander He!"
