LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 165
When Qi Jiguang and Qin Liangyu were destroying Wu Sangui's army, Liu Yu's army encountered a tough opponent.
He led an army of about 180,000 and confronted an army of 200,000 on both sides of the river. The general leading the troops on the opposite side was called Zeng Guofan!
"The general on the opposite side is quite powerful!"Liu Yu carefully observed the army formation on the opposite side and said in a deep voice.
Originally, he had nearly 300,000 troops, but after they captured the city, they always needed to leave troops to garrison.
After all this time, the original army of more than 300,000 was reduced to about 180,000 troops, including more than 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
"He does have a certain ability to manage the army. He puts his position very straight. If we want to attack rashly, even if we can win, we will suffer heavy losses."Pang Tong stared at the 200,000 troops stationed in the distance:"I just didn't expect that the Qing Dynasty could actually pull out 200,000 troops of this quality in the end.
Even if these 200,000 troops are not as good as us, they are much better than the Fuheng army that we defeated."
"This should be the last foundation of the Qing Dynasty. In addition to the local garrison troops, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty can only support an army of 500,000 or 600,000 at most."Liu Yu frowned and continued:"As long as we eat these 200,000 troops, my Ming Dynasty can directly take down the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty is worthy of its status as a second-class country. It is much stronger than the Wala and other countries, and even stronger than any country in the two Song Dynasties.~"
"Now, apart from gathering our forces, we can only wait for Generals Qi Jiguang and Qin Liangyu!
As long as we can hold Zeng Guofan's army here,
Qi Jiguang's army can also march straight in, and then we can also pincer attack Zeng Guofan's army from the front and back."Pang Tong continued to add:"In the past few months, our army has fought a series of battles, so we can take this opportunity to rest and recuperate. At the same time, we can also keep Zeng Guofan here."
"The decisive battle over there should be coming soon. With their speed, it won't take more than two months to get there from Jiayu Pass." Liu Yu looked towards Jiayu Pass and said,"When the time comes, whether the enemy splits up into two groups or fights a decisive battle with us, we will be able to defeat this 200,000-man army."
""We should try to end the war before the end of the year!" Pang Tong also said with a smile.
Although the opponent was a famous general, Pang Tong was confident in their ability.
If he did not want to withdraw other troops, otherwise, Pang Tong would have been confident that they could destroy Zeng Guofan's army with just this army.
"Well, end the war before the end of the year!" Liu Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance. His Majesty recognized them so much, and he couldn't embarrass Zhu Houzhao.

"Ding, congratulations to the host's army for destroying the armies of Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong, and Shang Kexi, and the reward is 300,000 luck points!"
The voice of the system appeared in Zhu Houzhao's mind, and at this moment Zhu Houzhao untied the rope on Shaomin's hand with some disinterest.
Alas, Shaomin's fighting ability is too poor, and he is also worried about playing the opponent badly. Sometimes he still needs to restrain himself.
He always feels that Shaomin seems to be a little broken!
This woman is a little special. No wonder in the original book, Zhao Min would be obsessed with Zhang Wuji after Zhang Wuji took off her shoes and pressed Zhao Min's laugh point.
Zhu Houzhao also tried it, and was surprised to find that Zhaomin would jump directly
"Do you blame me?" Looking at the powerless Shaomin, Zhu Houzhao rubbed his head and asked
"No wonder!" Shaomin said with a complicated expression:"Your Majesty did not execute me, I am satisfied, and this is also your Majesty's love for me, isn't it? After all, your Majesty did not really hurt me.
Moreover, those men in the desert are even more cruel to slaves."
Zhu Houzhao was silent for a while after hearing this. For some reason, he felt that what Shaomin said seemed to be sincere.
Could it be that this woman was actually shaking?
However, Shaomin's subsequent words also made Zhu Houzhao understand a little bit. It is true that in the desert, many people do not regard enemies and prisoners as human beings.

The more noble you are, the more extravagant you play.
Although Shaomin did not have such experience, he was born into a noble family after all, and some things are inevitable under the influence of his surroundings.
Zhu Houzhao looks very cruel, but he is nothing compared to those people on the grassland. Moreover, Shaomin was not really injured, let alone left with scars or anything. In Shaomin's view, this may be Zhu Houzhao cooperating with him.
He may have misunderstood something and thought that people on the grassland like this. This is not the case, but Shaomin does not hate it, and even likes it a little.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao also thought of the Five Barbarians' Invasion and the things that happened during the Jingkang Incident, and the original trace of guilt disappeared.
Seeing Shaomin seemed to be enjoying it, Zhu Houzhao said that he might be able to go a step further.
Then, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have thought of something, and he said to Shaomin:"By the way, the front line of Prince Ruyang has failed."
"What? My father failed?"Shao Min, who was a little absent-minded, heard Zhu Houzhao's words and asked hurriedly. (To read the exciting novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Well, your father led an army of 100,000 to invade the Southern Song Dynasty on the eastern front, and originally had a certain advantage, but Han Shizhong, relying on his 200,000 troops, was able to block the army of Prince Ruyang."Zhu Houzhao explained softly:"However, the Jianghu forces on the Southern Song side sneaked into the rear of Prince Ruyang's army and burned the food and grass of the 100,000 troops.
Han Shizhong seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to attack Prince Ruyang's army, causing the army of Prince Ruyang to lose more than 30,000."
Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao also sighed for a while. What the Southern Song Dynasty showed this time was indeed beyond Zhu Houzhao's expectations. It was not just the Prince of Ruyang who was resisted.
The central army and the western army were also blocked.
The Southern Song Dynasty showed a strong military capability!
This was beyond everyone's expectations. Facts have proved that if the Southern Song Dynasty had not fallen into civil war, it would still be very powerful. Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Meng Gong were all excellent commanders. Even the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty were defeated when they met the Southern Song Dynasty.
