Central Plains Chapter Seventy-Seven The Fall of the Western Frontier

Since the defeat of the Limang army and the Dayi border army continued to move south, the situation in Dawu, which had eased slightly, became tense again.

On the other hand, when the emperors of the two southwestern countries heard the news, they were overjoyed for a while, and once again increased their troops by 250,000, or 500,000 troops, towards the western border of Dawu, and at the same time ordered Aji to step up the offensive and strive to enter the border of Binzhou.

At the beginning, the agreement between the two southwestern countries and Daxing was that Daxing would involve the main forces of Dawu, and the two southwestern countries would only be responsible for attacking the western border of Dawu, and then if they had the ability to conquer Binzhou, it would be used as the permanent territory of the two countries, and it was not up to Daxing to control how to divide the two.

Since the last time Aji attacked the western border of Dawu, he has been building a defensive line to prevent Dawu's counterattack, and after the arrival of the Wuzhou army, he did not dare to be careless, otherwise the territory that the soldiers exchanged for their lives would be lost at any time, and at that time, how could he have the face to face the 700,000 dead soldiers?

Fortunately, not long after, the reinforcements of the two countries finally arrived, and Li Mang's army also began to harvest the city of Xingzhou, and the Dawu million army on the opposite side was even more panicked and uncertain.

At this time, Aji was once again in charge of the 1.3 million two-country coalition army, and his confidence was much more sufficient, and he planned to take the initiative to attack.

Soon, that opportunity came.

......

Li Mang led the army along the border of Jiancheng straight to the east, the 100,000 army almost did not rest, it took a full five days, through the Hongshan, across the Honghe, across more than a dozen cities, and again over a mountain, before finally entering the boundary of Wuzhou.

Under the mountain, the first city is called Wuning City, the scale of this city is not too big, but it is also a famous city in Wuzhou, the city is backed by the mountain, the Ganquan River is in front, the scenery is beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, the Dawu Emperor has a palace in this city.

Where did Li Mang know this, after going down the mountain, he reorganized his troops and horses a little, and without resting, he directly led the army to kill this city.

Because of the relationship between the emperor's palace, the city has a permanent city defense army of 10,000 people, responsible for inspecting the surrounding area and the acropolis, and there are more than 10,000 Dawu internal guards stationed around the palace in the city, which makes people dare not venture.

The 100,000 army said that it was not too much, and it was not long before it was discovered by the city defense army patrolling outside the city, and the city lord heard the news and hurriedly recalled the 10,000 city defense troops outside, closed the city gate, and sent a messenger to inform the emperor of the news here.

Naturally, the Inner Guard also got the news, and naturally climbed the city wall together to participate in the battle to defend the city.

When Li Mang led the army to the city, he looked at the 20,000 people on the city wall, smiled, and then said to Sanbao: "Take the heavenly army and go around to the other side of the city gate, if the enemy divides the troops, he will only contain and not attack, if the enemy does not divide the troops, you will directly enter the city, and we will attack before and after."

"Yes"

After Sanbao led the team away, Li Mang smiled and said to Shi Peng and Bai Qiu beside him: "Big brother, second brother, I am used to seeing tens of millions of troops, and I am very uncomfortable to suddenly look at these ten thousand people, and my hands are a little itchy."

"The three brothers broke through?" Shi Feng looked at Li Mang's heroic dry cloud road.

"Why not, as long as it is a soldier of the Great Martial Arts, it is my enemy, and it just so happens that I have long wanted to kill," Bai Qiu also echoed.

Li Mang glanced at Bai Qiu, and sighed in his heart, the second brother's anger has become heavier and heavier recently, this is not a good sign, just as he was about to say something, he saw a surge of people on the city wall, and after a while, there were not so many people on the city wall as before, and they still divided their troops.

"The army listens to the order, when the city gate is opened, it is the time for you to charge, and my three brothers will go up to kill him first" Li Mang saw the division of troops in the city, and then ordered the army behind him.

"Yes," the army roared in a tsunami.

After Li Mang, Shi Peng and Bai Qiu glanced at each other, they rushed forward with their horses first, and after Shi Peng and Bai Qiu were unwilling, they naturally followed each other closely, and the three of them almost drove towards the city wall side by side.

"Release the arrow" The commander of the city defense army in the city roared, and the three of them could hear it clearly not far from the city.

Li Mang urged the horse again, and the horse completely let go of his speed, and in the blink of an eye, he threw off the stone canopy and white hatred, and headed towards the city.

At this time, the rain of arrows can also fall, but ten thousand arrows are fired together, how can they get the two grandmasters of Shicang and Bai Qiu?

Just when the two of them were charging while resisting the rain of arrows, Li Mang had already arrived at the city, only to see him suddenly get up, standing on the horse's back, and when the horse really rushed to the root of the city wall, he suddenly stomped his feet, stepped on the saddle, swept straight up for several meters, and then stepped on the city wall a few steps to borrow strength, and jumped up.

The machete was in his hand at this time, and he couldn't help but say that it was a dragon battle in the field, instantly emptying the enemy within a radius of a few meters, and then his feet did not stop, and he crashed into the enemy army on the city wall.

The chaos on the city wall suddenly stopped the rain of arrows, and Shi Peng and Bai Qiu also quickly came to the root of the city wall, and after sweeping up the city wall in a few steps, they killed the enemy troops around Li Mang.

The three of them helped each other and competed with each other, killing heartily for a while, and finally Li Mang was the first to react, and shouted during the gap between swinging the knife: "Big brother, second brother, you kill, I'll open the door."

Regardless of the response of the two, they jumped into the city first, cut down dozens of city guards guarding the gate to the ground, and walked straight towards the door.

"Squeak..."

The gate slowly opened from the inside, and when the 100,000 army saw this, they launched a charge under the leadership of several generals, stirring up a large area of dust for a while.

The shouts of killing here startled the inner guards on the other side of the city wall, and when they saw that they cursed the city defense army for waste, they prepared to go to the other side to support.

But how could the Three Treasures let him get his wish?

"Attack" Sanbao shouted, and then swept towards the city first, and before the inner guards who were about to leave reacted, they rushed to the base of the wall, and jumped on the city wall in the same posture as the three Li Mang brothers, and killed themselves.

After a short time, the city defense army and the internal guard army were killed, and Li Mang took the first city after entering Dawu Wuzhou, Wuning City.

......

It was the news that the Li Mang Divine Soldiers descended from the sky and entered the hinterland of Wuzhou that made Emperor Dawu urgently order the Wuzhou army to withdraw, and it also made Aji, who learned the news, feel that the opportunity had come.

Without hesitation, Aji gathered the whole army and ordered an army of 1.3 million to attack the city without making any pre-battle arrangements and tactical arrangements.

That is, as soon as the Wuzhou army left, the 400,000 border troops led by King Wu were urgently deploying defenses, they saw 1.3 million troops coming, and they were obviously prepared to surround the city and storm the city.

King Wu was shocked, and hurriedly ordered his own army to chase after the Wuzhou army, ordering them to support him first, and then catch up with the city wall and supervise the defense.

King Wu thought of abandoning the city and retreating, but the border has been lost, and if the border pass is lost, won't the more than 1.1 million troops have to push all the way to Binzhou?

After a short time, the pro-army rushed back, and the news brought back made him desperate, and the Wuzhou army was naturally concerned about His Majesty's safety, and it was impossible to help him defend the city and delay time.

For a while, King Wu was a little depressed, if he retreated decisively just now, he might be able to go, but now, the enemy's siege of the city has become a trend, and there is only one way to defend it.

Relying on the large number of people, Aji naturally would not choose the strategy of encircling but not killing, but when he saw that the encirclement had just been formed, he ordered the four armies to attack the city at the same time.

King Wu's troops are stretched, and only 100,000 troops can be placed on each city gate, and there is no support or change of guards.

Not long after, the battle began, and the four city gates were suddenly caught in the flames of war, and even if there were enough arrows in the city, how long could a salvo of 100,000 people last?

Aji invested 600,000 troops in a city gate, six times more than the enemy, and if the city could not be broken again, it would be too unreasonable.

Finally, the allied forces of the two countries climbed the city wall, and finally, more and more allied troops climbed the city wall, and finally, the battlefield moved to the city wall.

With only a slight resistance, the Dawu border army was killed off the city wall and withdrew towards the city, and the four city gates were roughly the same.

The four city gates were opened at the same time, and the millions of troops entered the city one after another, forcing them straight into the city, and the four defenders converged in the center of the city.

The combat effectiveness of the Dawu border army is very strong, and the resistance is also very tenacious, but after all, it can't resist the other party's many people, and under the battle, the whole army is annihilated, and the king of Wu is self-disciplined in a civilian house.

After Aji counted them, the coalition army lost nearly 600,000 people, and there were 100,000 light and serious wounded, and there were only 600,000 troops that could be used.

He lamented the tenacity of the great warriors, but he also had a bitter face, but fortunately, after that, Binzhou completely lost its resistance and was exposed to the two southwestern countries.
