Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 732
The north gate of Jindu City.

After more than an hour of killing, the Shu army defending the city basically destroyed General Zhong's Xixia army at a very small cost.

Several alleys in the city were filled with piles of corpses, and most of the soldiers died under bows and arrows.

General Peng and his men are collecting these bows and arrows to prepare for use next time, but these corpses may need to be dug outside the city and buried.

After the fire outside the city, many firemen ran into the mountains and forests on both sides, igniting the mountains and forests. Now they are burning and cannot be extinguished.

The ground outside the city was littered with charred corpses, some burned into black charcoal and turned into fertilizer, and even the soil on the ground was scorched.

The [-] Xixia army was basically dead and wounded. Even those who escaped by chance were very few, probably only a few hundred people.

"General Zou, when you take people to chase the enemy, you must bring back the food and grass."

Lu Hao ordered loudly.

"The commander's decree!"

General Zou got on his horse and set off with the pistol team.

Lu Hao gave him a special mission, which was to quickly catch up with the enemy and kill them all. At the same time, he went to the rear thirty miles to transport food and grass back.

The food and fodder for the [-]-strong army is enough to last at least one more week, which can now reduce the pressure on Jindu City.

This time, General Zou no longer dared to delay the execution of his order, lest he would really pull him out and kill him.

The military order is like a mountain!

It is the duty of soldiers to carry out military orders.

Lu Hao's warning to him also had an effect, giving him enough motivation to lead the pistol team in pursuit.

bang bang bang...

After the gunfire, the Xixia soldier who was overtaken was shot dead on the spot.

However, General Zou did not stop at all and continued to chase north.

At this time, the South Gate was also in flames, and countless Yue soldiers were burned alive.

General Fu escaped by chance and retreated with the remaining defeated soldiers. Even his eyebrows were burned off.

On the other side, in the military camp of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Lifeng looked at the flames in Jindu City and had no idea what was happening.

"Your Majesty, what happened in Jindu City? Is there a fire?"

General Shi walked over slowly and asked.

"I don't know. Send someone to investigate right away."

Zhou Lifeng said thoughtfully.

"As ordered!"

General Shi set off with his people.

In fact, General Shi didn't need to go check it out personally. After all, he had already arranged many secret sentries in the woods along the road.

From the mountain closest to the west gate, you can clearly see the situation in the city, and you can also see the situation of the north gate and the south gate.

Flames were blazing outside the north and south gates. It was obvious that someone had buried tung oil and other flammable and explosive things in advance. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so tragic.

The news quickly spread back to the base camp. After General Shi got the news, he immediately came towards the Chinese army's tent.

"Your Majesty, the Xixia Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom launched attacks on Jindu City at the same time. However, they were severely burned by tung oil and other incendiary materials buried outside the city. It is said that there were heavy casualties. The specific number of casualties is unknown!"

General Shi reported loudly.

"Hahaha... They also want to attack Jindu City, they are really overestimating their capabilities!"

Zhou Lifeng immediately gloated and laughed.

"Your Majesty, should we go find a bargain?"

Wei Hua came up and whispered.

"Cheap? What's cheap?"

Zhou Lifeng frowned.

"Do you want to conduct a sneak attack?"

Wei Hua smiled slyly. "Sneak attack? Others went for a sneak attack and suffered big losses, but we still go for a sneak attack? Is there something wrong with your mind?"

Zhou Lifeng wished he could slap him in the face.

"Your Majesty, today Xixia and Yue attacked at night at the same time. The two sides must have reached some deal. Otherwise, how could they send troops at the same time? Therefore, what I mean is that we can't take Jindu City now, so it is better to retreat and settle for the next best thing... "

Wei Hua spoke in a low voice.

"You mean to take this opportunity to seize the territory occupied by Xixia and Yue?"

Zhou Lifeng understood instantly.

"exactly!"

Wei Hua nodded slightly.

"Well, your idea is good! Go and get the map quickly. I want to study it carefully."

Zhou Lifeng was extremely happy.

Since the two countries have suffered heavy losses now, they will definitely continue to increase their troops. By then, the occupied cities will be empty of troops.

If this is the case, why didn't the Zhou Dynasty first capture other territories and then besiege Jindu City?
It has to be said that this dog-headed strategist is the kind of guy who loves to take advantage of small things, and he can actually think of sneak attacks on his allies.

After all, they wanted to carve up the Kingdom of Shu, and their goals were the same, but now they were stabbing them in the back, which was really vicious.

The soldiers who escaped from the Xixia Dynasty were chased by General Zou's cavalry all the way. They were quickly killed and wounded, and many horses were also captured.

Perhaps for the purpose of sneak attack, these war horses actually stayed in the military camp, and now they are all trophies.

In a small town thirty miles away from the Xixia army, Xixia's logistics troops transported the army's weapons, equipment and food supplies.

The most popular ones are bows and arrows. After all, bows and arrows are the best to use in siege warfare, and their lethality is also sufficient.

Secondly, there is a large amount of food and grass, enough for a [-]-strong army to consume for half a month, and there are also some tents and bedding.

General Zou was ordered to take this place, and the cavalry quickly rushed into the town.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack..."

A Xixia sentry spotted them and shouted loudly.

boom! boom! boom!
General Zou pulled the trigger directly, and the sentry was beaten into a sieve on the spot.

"Soldiers, kill them! Leave no chickens or dogs behind!"

General Zou roared and killed him.

The cavalry are very fast, and all use pistols, so they are very lethal at close range.

bang bang bang...

Continuous gunshots rang out, and many Xixia soldiers had just rushed out. Before they could see the people clearly, they were shot and fell to the ground.

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

The sound of killing shook the sky, iron hooves flew, and gunshots continued.

The Xixia soldiers who were still sleeping in the middle of the night must have rushed out with weapons as soon as they heard the enemy attack.

However, what was waiting for them was a dense barrage of bullets, and they were turned into a hornet's nest in an instant.

In a quarter of an hour, this logistics and transportation force of thousands of people was completely wiped out by the pistol team of more than 300 people before they could recover.

"Hehehe...soldiers, we are more developed this time, transport all the supplies away!"

General Zou laughed happily.

Most of this baggage has not had time to be unloaded, and now it can be transported directly, which also reduces the loading time.

There were more than 380 carriages, all full of goods. Even the bedding and blankets of these Xixia logistics soldiers were carried on the carriages and dragged away.

In short, everything that can be moved now has been moved to the car.

The Yue soldiers who fled to the south, led by General Fu, did not dare to stay any longer and prepared to retreat to a city sixty miles away.

General Fu still has hundreds of people under his command, and all of them have been burned to ashes. Many soldiers' eyebrows and beards have been burned off, which is very miserable.
