Chapter 129 Using Soldiers Like Ghosts (4/4)

"Who knows who is the general guarding Kaifeng Prefecture now?" Zhang He asked loudly.

The big-headed soldiers looked at each other, but no one could answer.

Many of them were civilians or local wealthy families before joining the army.

My understanding of Kaifeng Prefecture is limited to knowing that Kaifeng Prefecture is the capital, which is a large city. I heard that the officials live in it.

As for who is the custodian who guards Kaifeng Prefecture, it is too difficult for them to know.

"Forget it, no matter who he is, he shouldn't know the battle situation here now." Zhang He narrowed his eyes and a bold idea appeared in his head.

The three thousand people he ruled now were all officers and soldiers before this, but were just officers and soldiers from Jiangnan.

The armor and weapons worn by the officers and soldiers of Xinsong were of the same type of equipment.

In order to distinguish between his soldiers and Tong Guan's soldiers, Fang La specially asked his soldiers to tie red ropes on his shoulders.

It’s not that Fang La is unwilling to change his armor, but that the weapons and armor of these 100,000 people cannot be built in a short while.

Moreover, the armor and weapons they are equipped can be used now, so in order to distinguish identities, they deliberately rebuilt 100,000 or even more equipment. That would be a huge expense.

"General, I seem to have heard that the general guarding the city of Kaifeng Prefecture is named Wang Bing, who is a veteran general in the court." Suddenly, a soldier said. After Zhang He asked, he learned that the soldier was a small leader in Liangshan and had been on the northern battlefield before.

Veterans are generally more vigilant, but they are not impossible to seek. Zhang He thought to himself.

Immediately, Zhang He issued a military order. "Everyone took off the red rope from his shoulders and followed me north!"

"General, we don't have enough food." Cao Xing found Zhang He.

Zhang He closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and then said, "It's okay, there is still no food in such a large north."

Cao Xing felt a stern in his heart, "Yes."

Zhang He led 3,000 people all the way north and sent several people back to report the results to Fang Mu.

"Military Road: Go quickly." Zhang He showed his ability, and the invisible breeze covered the entire army. Yellow light appeared on both sides of everyone's legs. Everyone felt that their legs became light and agile, and their walking speed increased a lot, and they didn't feel tired.

Three days later, Zhang He rushed to Kaifeng Prefecture. At Zhang He's order, three thousand people pretended to be defeated Tong Guan's army. Zhang He originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and go to the city to capture the thief and capture the king and take Zhao Huan.

Unexpectedly, the general guarding the city, Wang Bing, had to have a tiger talisman. He would never let go without the tiger talisman. Even if the three thousand people outside the city were disguised, they looked like a group of defeated soldiers without any threat.

Even so, Wang Bing will never allow one person to enter the city.

"General Wang, brothers are so tired. If you are worried, we can come in first. We will return to the city first with the order of Taifu Tong. I have important military orders to inform Your Majesty." Zhang He asked.

Wang Bing insisted on refusing, "Unless you wait for your Majesty's order or you can take out the tiger talisman, you will not be allowed to enter the city!"

The soldiers on the city tower were ready for battle and even pulled their bows.

Zhang He knew that there was no chance. If he could get him up the city tower or into the city, even if there were only two people, he would be sure to open the city gate.

But if he didn't let him go up to the city wall, it would be almost impossible for him to climb the city wall alone.

The city wall of Kaifeng Prefecture is twenty feet high, and even ordinary ladders do not have this height. Even Zhang He cannot climb the city tower without a landing point that can be used to leverage.

After wandering for a few hours, Zhang He took a deep look at the city tower and knew that there was no chance. If it were expected, Tong Guan should be coming soon. Now he has lost the best fighter opportunity, and even if he enters the city, he may not be able to enter the palace. Then Zhang He led 3,000 people away from the foot of Kaifeng Prefecture's city tower.

Wang Bing received a report from his subordinates that the army downstairs had just left.

There was indeed something wrong with that army. The man in charge was not a familiar face of the court.

I just don’t know where it came from, so why haven’t Tong Guan returned yet?

Two hours later, Tong Guan's army returned to the city of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Wang Bing was secretly surprised when he saw Tong Guanjun's miserable situation. It seemed that this trip to Fang La was not going smoothly.

After Tong Guan handed over the tiger talisman, he stationed the army outside the city and brought a few people into Kaifeng Prefecture.

"Teacher Tong, have you sent the vanguard army back to the city to report the news?" Wang Bing asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"No." Tong Guan, who looked not very good, seemed to have just had a serious illness, shook his head, "Why did this question happen?"

Wang Bing nodded, "Fortunately, I didn't open the door just now." Wang Bing told Tong Guan what happened just now.

Tong Guan's face changed suddenly, and he quickly asked Wang Bing about the person under the city just now.

After confirming his identity, Tong Guan gritted his teeth, "It's him! Fortunately, General Wang, you didn't open the city gate, and the veteran General Wang Huan suffered an unexpected accident in his hands."

Wang Bing was still scared when he learned about Zhang He's identity from Tong Guan, and was also deeply shocked.

This man ambushed Tong Guan on the way to retreat, and then killed him and fired the canyon. That's not all, this guy actually galloped around in front of Tong Guan and ran to Kaifeng Mansion. What he wanted to do was naturally self-evident.

If you relax your vigilance and let him enter the city, it might be really ominous.

"If Taifu Tong said, this guy is so terrifying to use troops." Wang Bing could only say this

"General, the results of this battle have been counted. 31,000 enemy soldiers have been captured, 7,200 corpses have been counted, and a number of soldiers, armor and food have been confiscated." Tian Chou counted the number and gave the list to Fang Mu and then handed it to Fang La.

Because the flood has not yet faded, the number of corpses in the river has not been counted for the time being, but just looking at the corpses floating on the water surface, you can tell that they are definitely not a small number.

After the flood, all the corpses in the river must be fished out, otherwise plague will be prone to breeding.

As for the achievements of killing generals, there is a dedicated person to count. Whoever has the credit belongs to, and so many people on the battlefield have witnessed it with their own eyes that no one can take away the credit.

Other contributions will be decided.

Fang La left a few people to guard the Hun River and be wary of the north, and then led a large army to escort the prisoners back to Hangzhou.

After two consecutive battles, the number of soldiers in Jiangnan has not only not decreased, but has continued to increase, from 100,000 to 200,000.

Among these 200,000 people, 100,000 are all prisoners, and the number of prisoners has reached half of the total force, which is a relatively dangerous number.

After all, the Liangshan army has just been conquered for less than a month, and the morale of Liangshan’s army has not yet been completely stable.

If you cannot handle it well, the more prisoners you will be more likely to turn against you.

Fang La began to build a dynasty. The jade seal had been carved and everything was in place.

Everything is ready, but the east wind is not available.

Bao Daoyiji and Gongsun Sheng selected a good time for Fang La to prepare for the founding of the dynasty in the future.

Then wait until the Yun Dynasty established a pardon and enfeoffed all the ministers.
