Chapter 456 The decisive battle that started unexpectedly(3/3)
"Fight bravely!" Bai Xiong shouted, "If the Tang Dynasty people can come, the Zhou Dynasty can also go!
Defeat the enemy in front of you, and I will lead you and others to fight all the way to southern Xinjiang. To Qinghe, to Chang'an, and keep moving forward!
Your Majesty has prepared the money and official titles to be used to reward meritorious service, and is only waiting for the triumphant return of the army.
As long as you return with your merits, Bianjing will open its arms, and the people and officials will welcome the heroes of the Zhou Dynasty with cheers.
Your Majesty will also ascend the tower to greet you.
The meritorious service lies ahead, soldiers, please have the confidence to seize it!"
"have!"
The cheers of more than 100,000 people stirred up the only cloud in the sky.
“Very lively.”
When Zhang Huan saw the other side raising his arms and shouting, he said contemptuously: "When I first arrived in southern Xinjiang, I was frightened to kill the Southern Zhou people with my subordinates.
We have been talking about peace in recent years, but what is peace? It is the incompetence of our generation of warriors that allows the enemy to have peace.
In my opinion, that is not peace, but contentment!"
Han Ji whispered to Yang Xuan: "Zhang Huan was also dedicated to the war at the beginning. As soon as he arrived in southern Xinjiang, he went to Chang'an. He suggested that the northern Xinjiang should suffer some hardships, but he would also fight to the death to stop the invasion of the Northern Liao army.
The southern Xinjiang army took advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack and destroyed the Southern Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Then the money and food of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, coupled with the population and bravery of the Tang Dynasty, launched the Northern Expedition again, destroyed the Northern Liao Dynasty, and unified the world!"
But that time coincided with the last years of Emperor Wu, and there was chaos in the court.
Not long after Zhang Huan's memorial arrived in Chang'an, Li Yuan and his son launched a palace coup and ousted Emperor Wu from the throne in one fell swoop.
Later, Pei Jiu, the governor of Northern Xinjiang, was recalled and committed suicide in front of the imperial city.
The heroic army in Northern Xinjiang was disorganized, and Li Yuan and his son launched a purge in order to eliminate the influence of Emperor Wu and Pei Jiu in the Northern Xinjiang Army, which further weakened the Northern Xinjiang Army.
Otherwise, how could Bei Liao dare to show his teeth at Bei Xinjiang, or even blackmail him!
The strategic situation at that time was really different from today.
Han Ji glanced at Zhang Huan on the right and continued: "Later, the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne and the new emperor ascended the throne. Many old ministers were purged. Zhang Huan's backers also fell. Many people stared at Southern Xinjiang. As a result, Zhang Huan
We can only protect ourselves and have no ambition to make progress."
Speaking of which, Zhang Huan was also a victim of the coup by Li Yuan and his son.
But after years of hard work, Zhang Huan's body now looks mellow, without the edges and corners he once had.
On the opposite side, the Zhou army began to move.
The infantry advanced slowly, while the archers prepared.
"Sir, the enemy has moved."
"I saw it."
Zhang Huan looked at the enemy formation in front with mixed emotions and said: "Back then, I also dreamed of fighting with the Southern Zhou army. I didn't expect that many years later, my dream would come true. But times have changed, and the good situation is no longer as good as before.
"
"Bang the drum!"
Zhang Huan gave an order, and more than ten men began to beat the drums.
"Over the years, many people have regarded me as a scum among warriors and a coward. Today, I actually feel the excitement that I haven't seen in a long time."
He glanced north.
"Pei Jiu, you've gone, but I'm still here! I'm still guarding the country and guarding the border, and I'm still here, guarding the Tang Dynasty!"
Choking!
Zhang Huan pulled out the horizontal knife.
Forward finger!
Chanting:
"Attack!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Countless soldiers raised their arms and shouted.
The numerous swords and spears seemed to be piercing the sky.
Chapter completed!
