Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Seeing Emperor Qing slowly stand up, Liu Hong also prepared to leave.

This was the last time he and Emperor Qing saw each other. After this battle, Emperor Qing would definitely die.

The 400,000-strong coalition army of the vassal states was ready to go, and all the soldiers looked ahead with high spirits.

Liu Hong, wearing a black dragon robe, walked slowly towards his army.

Cheng Jushu led 5,000 imperial guards from Kyoto to escort Liu Hong to the central military headquarters.

Xiao Zhan, Yan Xiaoyi, Shang Shan Hu, Guo Baokun, and Cheng Jushu watched as the gates of Jinling City opened. Emperor Qing had mobilized almost all of the 250,000 veteran soldiers of the Qing Kingdom.

All the generals couldn't help but be delighted. Emperor Qing had come out! After Han Xin blocked Emperor Qing's retreat.

Under attack from both inside and outside, even if Emperor Qing was the god of war on earth, he was powerless to turn the tide.

Liu Hong looked at the crowd eager to try, smiled, the army's morale is good! He gently drew out the Zhanlu sword and pointed it at the sky.

Under the transmission of the grand master's true energy, his words reached the ears of every soldier.

"My lords, we have been through too many journeys, from Han to Dongyi City, from Northern Qi to the vassal states, and now from Wuzhou to Qing."

"Now is the time to destroy the Qing Kingdom. As long as Emperor Qing is not dead, the march south will not end easily."

"Pick up your weapons. You are the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty. After this war, you will win a hundred years of peace for our Han Dynasty."

"Brave warriors, I will crown you kings, and the throne of king is open to you!"

Countless soldiers held spears in their hands, and the sound was surging. Even princes like Shang Shanhu and Yan Xiaoyi could not avoid it.

Although Liu Hong's generosity had been anticipated, he was still shocked to hear that Liu Hong was going to confer the title of king or prince.

This almost aroused everyone's greed.

There may not be a beautiful woman in the book, but fighting under Emperor Gao must have a golden house.

"Destroy the Qing Kingdom and unify the world!"

Liu Hong listened to the passionate words of the army with a smile and nodded slightly.

Looking at Emperor Qing who had already reorganized his soldiers, he pointed the Zhanlu sword.

"Encirclement!"

Under the leadership of many famous generals, the coalition forces of the vassal states pressed towards Emperor Qing in an orderly manner.

The coalition forces were led by the soldiers of Northern Qi, with the support of famous generals and Liu Hong in charge, which was enough to make them rich and powerful.

It is enough to suppress the dirty deeds in daily life, work together, and destroy the most powerful elite army of Qing Kingdom.

Liu Hong was doing pre-war mobilization.

Emperor Qing was not idle either. He rode on a tall warhorse and looked at the many old soldiers of Qing who had already grown white hair. He couldn't help feeling a little sad.

These old soldiers of the Qing Kingdom looked hungry, and it had been who knows how long since their armor had been maintained, and many of them had already been rusted.

However, after Emperor Qing suffered a series of failures and the aristocratic families became disunited, these old soldiers of Qing were willing to take up arms once again under the banner of Emperor Qing.

Even though they couldn't even get enough food.

In order to repay the kings of Qing Kingdom and to repay Ye Qingmei's great kindness in reducing taxes.

The veterans of Qing Kingdom are willing to fight again for Emperor Qing!
Emperor Qing looked at this group of old soldiers, moving his lips, and remained silent for a long time.

Under normal circumstances, he should have done the same as Liu Hong, doing pre-war mobilization, with one hand for the greater good and the other for high office and generous salary.

Inspire morale and make soldiers fearless of death.

But Emperor Qing understood that the Qing Kingdom now had nothing left and the food was almost exhausted, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry to fight a decisive battle.

As for the gold, silver and treasures, they were taken away by the aristocratic families headed by Fan Xian and fled overseas.

Countless veterans of the Qing Kingdom looked at Emperor Qing with sharp eyes and shouted in unison.

"May Your Majesty achieve greater glory and defeat the Han army!"

The once high-spirited Emperor Qing led an army of 100,000 to defeat the million-strong army of the Northern Wei Empire. Now these old soldiers of Qing Kingdom are full of hope that a miracle will once again favor Emperor Qing.

Let Emperor Qing lead them to defeat the invading enemies of the Han Dynasty.

When Emperor Qing heard countless encouraging voices, he raised his head and showed a look of joy.

He is not completely useless. At least his leadership ability is unparalleled in the world.

If Ye Qingmei made Qing Kingdom rich, he made the people of Qing Kingdom stand up and look proudly at other countries in the world.

Because all these countries were defeated by Qing Kingdom.

"Hahaha……"

Emperor Qing laughed out loud and took the spear handed to him by Fan Jian.

"Then let's fight again!"

After saying that, Emperor Qing took the lead and personally led his 100,000-strong army, charging towards the coalition forces of the vassal states like a sharp blade.

Even if the enemy outnumbers us, so what!

Emperor Qing did not play by the rules at all. He directly ordered Fan Jian to lead the remaining 150,000 troops to advance slowly and be responsible for the support.

And his own soldiers were constantly interspersed among the coalition forces of the vassal states.

Emperor Qing has always had a talent for accurately finding loopholes in the enemy's military orders, and then seizing fleeting opportunities to defeat them severely.

Therefore, when the armies were facing each other, Emperor Qing accurately grasped that there was a sense of estrangement between the 100,000 troops commanded by Xiao Zhan and Yan Xiaoyi and Uesugi Hu.

Emperor Qing's eyes lit up and his face showed ecstasy.

"All troops, listen to the order, charge, and kill the enemy at all costs."

When the old soldiers of Qing State heard the military order, they immediately abandoned the armies on both sides and continued to advance forward.

Many of their companions were lost along the way, but because of this, Xiao Zhan's army was directly disrupted and dispersed.

Yan Xiaoyi's late arrival gave Uesugi Tiger a headache and made him hesitant.

Xiao Zhan's army is already in chaos. If they attack again, they might accidentally injure friendly forces, causing Xiao Zhan's army to collapse in morale.

This opportunity was fleeting, and it was a gap left by the coalition forces of the vassal states to encircle the enemy.

Emperor Qing seized the loophole and bit Xiao Zhan's army hard.

The old soldiers of the Qing Kingdom under his command were fearless and their eyes turned red when they saw the logo of their old enemy, the Northern Qi Army, even though their swords were broken.

You have to bite with your teeth, grab with your hands, and do your best to take one person away.

Cheng Jushu looked at the battlefield which was in a mess. The armies of Shangshan Hu and Yan Xiaoyi were almost unable to take over.

They could only send elite troops to follow and kill the lone soldiers of the Qing State.

But compared to the army of 100,000, it was just a drop in the ocean, a tiny number.

When Guo Baokun saw that Xiao Zhan's army was crumbling, his face changed drastically and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, please let the central army press forward! Otherwise, General Ying Yang may not be able to hold on."

Liu Hong glanced at Guo Baokun and shook his head.

"Didn't you see that Fan Jian has not yet pressed forward with the remaining 150,000 troops? On the one hand, he is supporting Emperor Qing, and on the other hand, he is waiting for my central army to be dispatched."

Guo Baokun was speechless, his hands and feet were cold, watching a large number of soldiers from various vassal states being slaughtered.

Emperor Qing was like a god of war on earth. Under his command, Xiao Zhan was exhausted and miserable.

Liu Hong looked at Emperor Qing and seemed to be lost in his memories.

There was once a human god of war who was so determined that he fought to the death and defeated Liu Bang.

What a pity! If he had accepted Liu Bang's memory, he would have continued to fail like Liu Bang before finally launching a fatal attack.

Isn't it just a waste of time to accept it?

"Let Yan Xiaoyi withdraw his forces, set up a defense line behind Xiao Zhan, and support Xiao Zhan."

Liu Hong watched for a while and found that both wings of Xiao Zhan's army had been defeated, and he spoke softly.

"Of course, we will leave Yan Xiaoyi's Shenjiying behind in the encirclement. I will allow Yan Xiaoyi to use the gunpowder of the Han Kingdom."

Gunpowder had only been developed not long ago in the Han Dynasty, and with the war machine in operation, they managed to produce more than ten tons.

Originally, Liu Hong didn't want to use it so early.

Who made Xiao Zhan so vulnerable? Emperor Qing found a loophole and beat him up.

Then we can only abandon martial ethics and use productivity to suppress him. In the direction of the vassal states' coalition forces, Xiao Zhan saw Emperor Qing constantly attacking his defense line, and for a moment he was really confused.

They have 400,000 troops here, according to normal logic.

Shouldn't Emperor Qing lead an army of 250,000 to hold out and wait for reinforcements, and then counterattack?
As a result, the army that was rushing in the front was directly defeated, and then they didn't attack anyone else but just focused on beating Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan was really depressed. After all, he was a general stationed on the border for many years, but in front of Emperor Qing.

There is no power to fight back at all.

Originally, he wanted to continuously send military orders, shrink the front line, and let Emperor Qing fall into the encirclement of the army.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Qing seemed to be able to predict and always guess where the messenger was, letting Xiao Zhan's 100,000 troops fight on their own, waiting for Emperor Qing to defeat them one by one.

Xiao Zhan was like a vegetable and could only watch Emperor Qing slaughter the soldiers of Northern Qi.

"General Ying Yang, the King of Yan has already set up a defense line in the back. His Majesty asked you to retreat."

The imperial guards from the rear brought orders.

Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he had Emperor Gao to keep him under control.

Otherwise, he was quite sure that Yan Xiaoyi and Uesugi Tiger would be quite happy to see him suffer a great defeat.

After all, after Taiyuan Road and Cangzhou Road were divided into Jin State and Yan State, these two vassal states acted as a buffer, and the relationship between Han State and Northern Qi State was eased.

However, since Jin and Yan were backed by Nanling County, their relationship suddenly became quite tense.

In this regard, Xiao Zhan has wronged Yan Xiaoyi.

It's not that Yan Xiaoyi didn't want to send troops to help, it's because Xiao Zhan was beaten like a paste, and the troops of Northern Qi and Southern Qing were almost entangled together.

Why would he send out a large army to help? Would he kill Xiao Zhan’s soldiers as well?
Xiao Zhan sounded the call to call back his troops and slowly retreated along the line set up by Yan Xiaoyi.

A large number of defeated soldiers from the vassal states fled in panic towards Yan Xiaoyi's army.

Emperor Qing stabbed a general to death with one shot and looked at Yan Xiaoyi with interest.

If Yan Xiaoyi's army were to accept these defeated troops, it would be in disarray. By that time, the Nanqing soldiers would be strong and they could make a great effort to disrupt Yan Xiaoyi's 100,000-strong army again.

By then, the 200,000 troops commanded by Liu Hong would basically be useless, with only the 100,000 central troops and Uesugi Tiger's 100,000 troops left.

Emperor Qing estimated that at least 30,000 to 40,000 of the 100,000 troops he led this time would remain, and he would then join forces with Fan Jian.

Turning disadvantages into advantages may actually create miracles.

After all, Yan Xiaoyi was the former commander of the imperial guards and the Grand Commander of Zhenbei, so he knew what Emperor Qing was thinking.

Looking at this group of crying and shouting defeated soldiers, Yan Xiaoyi had a blank expression on his face.

"Fire arrows!"

Tell these defeated soldiers to flee from the two wings. If they attack the center, they will be killed without mercy!"

As the only ninth-rank archer in the world, Yan Xiaoyi's greatest skill is training his soldiers to become sharpshooters.

The 30,000 archers who originally belonged to the State of Yan shot arrows one after another, almost killing all the defeated soldiers who were attacking the central army on the ground.

When the defeated soldiers saw the corpses of their companions, they woke up from their dream, regained some consciousness, and quickly fled from both wings.

Emperor Qing looked at Yan Xiaoyi with regret.

As famous generals, Yan Xiaoyi is much better than Xiao Zhan, at least he is much more ruthless.

It is also possible that this is not a soldier from the country, and Yan Xiaoyi does not feel sorry for him at all.

"Withdraw our troops and escape through the loopholes set up by the King of Yan."

Yan Xiaoyi retreated to Xiao Zhan's rear and set up a defense line. Relying solely on the Shenji Battalion of 5,000 people, they couldn't even make a wave.

Emperor Qing looked at the 100,000 troops under his command, with perhaps 50,000 to 60,000 left, and some hope arose in his heart.

Liu Hong's ability to command troops is just so-so, and Yan Xiaoyi and Uesugi Tiger are just in name only.

Who knows, this time he might be able to create another miracle, defeat the coalition forces of the Han Dynasty's vassal states, and then deal with Han Xin's 200,000 elite troops.

The Shenji Camp is an elite group of troops that Yan Xiaoyi has carefully trained, and their commander is Yan Xiaoyi's own son Yan Shendu.

Yan Shendu saw Emperor Qing leading the remaining troops and preparing to tear through his defense line.

There was a look of fearlessness on his face.

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"

Countless heavy crossbows and bows and arrows shot towards Emperor Qing.

A large number of Qing country veterans groaned and fell to the ground.

However, Liu Hong, who was in charge of the central army, frowned imperceptibly.

He allocated 15 tons of gunpowder to Yan Xiaoyi's Shenjiying, but it was not used in this way.

Even though muskets are useless now and are not as good as bows and arrows, cannons with a hundred times the magnification can at least kill most of Emperor Qing's manpower.

As a result, Yan Xiaoyi didn't use it at all.

Guo Baokun saw that Liu Hong's face didn't look good, then he thought about it and understood the reason, and spoke in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, would you like me to go and warn the King of Yan and ask him to follow the plan?"

Liu Hong showed a hint of interest, then shook his head.

"Since I have entrusted a hundred thousand troops to Yan Xiaoyi and given him the gunpowder, I will not doubt a man if I doubt him, and I will not doubt a man if I do."

"In a large-scale military operation, micromanagement is the most taboo, not to mention that I don't have the ability to command a large army."

Yan Xiaoyi had been fighting for many years, and he must have his reasons.

If Liu Hong intervened rashly, it would easily disrupt Yan Xiaoyi's deployment.

As the commander, Liu Hong only needs to arrange the tasks and there is no need to interfere in everything.

Guo Baokun nodded, and with a hint of regret in his eyes, he saw that Emperor Qing could at least leave with 40,000 troops.

Xiao Zhan's 100,000-strong garrison has basically been abandoned. What's the point of gathering the defeated soldiers and only leaving 40,000 or 50,000 of them?

These defeated soldiers will not be able to go back to the battlefield within a few months.

Emperor Qing is indeed the representative figure of military situation and the god of war on earth.

Yan Shendu looked at Emperor Qing approaching him, and the soldiers of the Shenji Camp were somewhat shaken.

He shook his head, a fierce look in his eyes.

Yan Shendu actually rode his warhorse, abandoned the five thousand most elite Shenjiying troops, and fled the battlefield.

As expected, when the Shenji Camp saw that their commander had fled, the morale of the troops was in chaos for a moment.

Emperor Qing looked at this scene and seemed to have returned to his youth, riding on his war horse and laughing heartily.

"The allied forces of the vassal states are a loose group of people, nothing more than a bunch of rats."

After saying that, he led the remaining veterans and rushed towards Fan Jian.

Countless soldiers of the Shenji Camp continued to flee, leaving behind a large amount of baggage.

Fan Jian looked at all this, he was extremely surprised, his face flushed, and he couldn't help but shout out.

"Your Majesty is victorious!"

The 150,000 veterans who were responsible for the support were also filled with excitement and wanted to rush forward with their guns.

Emperor Qing smiled and nodded, his eyes meeting Fan Jian's.

A shocking roar came from behind.

The remaining soldiers of the Shenji Camp ignited and exploded all the baggage and gunpowder, choosing to die together with the remaining 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers of Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing steadied himself, but the warhorse under him was frightened by the huge gust of air and fell to the ground.

"what happened?"

This was not only the doubt of Emperor Qing and Fan Jian, but also the doubt of Xiao Zhan, who had just gathered the defeated soldiers.

Uesugi Tora led an army of 100,000, raised the halberd in his hand and shouted loudly.

"The unification of the Han Dynasty is the will of heaven. Emperor Qing went against heaven's will, and this is the punishment from heaven!"

Then he led a large army and killed all the remaining 100,000 veteran soldiers of the Qing Kingdom led by Emperor Qing. (End of this chapter)
