Chapter 438 (1/2)
A few families are happy and some are sad.
When the news of the defeat was sent to the imperial capital of the Shang state.
Wang Xiaojian and Wang Zhaojun, Daji, chudongliu and chuxiaodong have been in peace for a long time, and they have won the victory with the army.
Three days later, Wang Xiaojian entered yanpingzhou with 50000 troops, and then followed the official road of yanpingzhou and headed for Tianyang city.
It's not that Taizhou suffered heavy casualties in the battle, only 50000 were left. But Wang Xiaojian sent most of the troops to Xiling border.
In fact, compared with the Tongzhou campaign, the Taizhou campaign was very smooth, except that it was delayed for a few more days.
With the powerful firepower support of Daji and Wang Zhaojun, two demon kings, Taizhou Commercial army, which had only one powerful King Wu, was not the opponent of Xia State Army at all.
The head of Zhou Zhikun sent by Wang Xiaojian became the last straw to crush Taizhou Commercial army.
During the whole Taizhou campaign, the Xia army led by Chu Xiaodong wiped out 120000 commercial troops in Taizhou at the cost of more than 15000 casualties.
If you don't count the time, the result is only worse than Wang Xiaojian.
Of course, in the Taizhou campaign, the number and quality of the powerful men of King Wu could not be compared with Wang Xiaojian.
After all, the Tongzhou army, which had Zhou Zhikun and several King Wu, was the main force of the Shang army.
Wang Xiaojian, Chu Dongliu, Zhao Kuang, Chu Xiaodong, rode in front of the army.
Daji, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, Mengqi, Qiu Yunbing, Cheng Ziwei, and the other three young martial sisters of xiaojianmen were arranged by Wang Xiaojian in two carriages, walking behind the army.
Along with the army all the way forward, as well as Chu Dongliu personally wrote a memorial, sent to Tianyang city in advance.
The news that Xia was defeated by 500000 Shang troops in the war of surrender quickly spread in Xia.
”The guardian war is won!”
”Zhou Zhikun, the demon General of the Shang state, is dead!”
”Li Bai, the general of Zhenguo, killed Zhou Zhikun and the five-star King Wu, and led Xia Guojun to subdue Lizhou, Taizhou, Tongzhou and Xiling border pass!”
”Half a million Shang troops who invaded our country in Xia Dynasty were destroyed!”
“……”
The news of the good news spread all over the Xia state.
After hearing the news, everyone in Xia was shocked.
It's great news and shocking news.
Everyone, the first reaction to the news is --
is it wrong?
Half a month ago, the iron cavalry of the Shang state was irresistible.
In a few days, the Shang army broke through the Xiling border. Take Tongzhou, Taizhou, and seize all the cities of Lizhou.
Yu Ziming, a frontier general, died in battle.
At that time, the imperial court of Xia state was in shock, and the empress had just ascended the throne. The whole state of Xia was like a dangerous building shaking in the wind and rain, and it would fall down at any time.
All the people of Xia state were extremely frightened and felt that the state of Xia would be destroyed.
Even though Wang Xiaojian, who saved the Xia state, and the Chu family army were ordered to resist the invaders at that time, they were still extremely frightened and felt that the national destiny was in danger.
Because the bad name of the Shang Dynasty's iron cavalry was too terrible.
In recent years, the iron cavalry of the Shang state fought in the north and south, and many surrounding small countries were destroyed by the iron cavalry of the Shang state.
Even Yu Ziming, their frontier general, died.
Everyone's heart is very gloomy.
Some loyal people and local officials were ready to die for their country.
Once the country is broken.
Once Tianyang city was captured by the Shang army.
Then they will also commit suicide and die for their country.
But.
Now, such news is coming.
The Shang army was defeated.
