"Sin General Zhang Ju, I have seen the Heavenly Soldier General!" Zhang Ju said respectfully, he was very worried, and he didn't know what his fate would be next. After all, everyone wants to live well.

Feeling that someone was approaching, Zhang Ju looked up, curiously wondering if the person who could use the thunder attack was really a heavenly soldier. What caught his eye was Su Dingfang's majestic face, combined with a suit of beast armor, which made Zhang Ju panic in his heart.

"General Zhang is exempt!" Su Dingfang was not embarrassed by himself, and stretched out his hand to signal.

"Thank you, General, for not sinning." Zhang Ju breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked him.

"The general Su Dingfang will be a family in the future, General Zhang doesn't have to be so raw!" Su Dingfang smiled slightly.

"Thanks to the mercy of the general's subordinates, Zhang Ju is willing to atone for his crimes!" Zhang Ju hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"So good! I don't know how Master Liang arranges people? Su Dingfang also asked politely.

"General Huisu, there are two Wu forts in Honghua, Gong guards Honghua City, and another Wu fort guard is Liu Min, and the last general each leads 8,000 people; Honghua guard general He Sui, deputy general Suo Zhou, 50,000 men and horses; Eagle Yin guard general Li Zhengbao and deputy general Xin Lu'er; Yan'an guard general Feng Duandu, deputy general Zeng Hu. As for the men and horses, the last general did not know that Shuofang was the capital of Liang Shidu, mainly guarded by his brother Liang Luoren. Zhang Ju replied truthfully.

"Hmmm! General Zhang provided information, and he would have written it down truthfully, and after returning to the division, the prime minister would reward him according to his merits! Su Dingfang nodded.

"The general can't be careless, the Liang division mainly relies on the Turkic cavalry, and the Jieli Khan has 30,000 iron cavalry in Shuozhou for many years, nominally the people who support the Liang division, but in fact it is also surveillance! Liang Shidu is likely to invite them! Zhang Ju persuaded him.

"Huh! The Turks are now too busy to take care of themselves, and those 30,000 people, I'm afraid they will have already run away before we get to Shuofang! Su Dingfang said with a smile, and now he is not afraid to leak some news to Zhang Ju.

"I see, it's the last general who thinks too much!" When Zhang Ju heard this, he immediately understood, and he must have faced only one of them.

"What advice does General Zhang have for Honghua?" Su Dingfang asked.

"The relationship between the guard general He Sui, the deputy general Suo Zhou and the last general is average, I'm afraid I can't persuade him, but Liu Min has a very good personal relationship with the last general, and the last general can persuade him to stay still, as long as the general takes Honghua and keeps him to lead the troops to surrender!" Zhang Ju replied.

"So good! Then trouble General Zhang to write a letter of resignation and send it to Liu Min. Su Dingfang nodded with satisfaction.

"Whoa!"

"General Su, do you think there will be any matter of our generals in the future?" After Zhang Ju left, Pei Yuanqing asked depressedly.

Su Dingfang understood that he was talking about being forced to surrender by artillery without even moving his hands today, and suddenly smiled and said, "How could it not be?" The power of artillery is really good, but in the face of a strong city, it still needs soldiers to attack, and with such a sharp weapon, the enemy cannot always be beaten and will definitely go out of the city to fight, and when the time comes, it will be the time for the general to break the enemy! ”

"Really?" Pei Yuanqing raised his head and asked.

"Not bad!" Su Dingfang said with certainty. From the beginning to the end, he understood the advantages and disadvantages of artillery, so he did not worry about it, in his opinion, artillery was just stronger than catapults.

"Hey, hey! That's good! As long as he dares to go out of the city, he will definitely teach him how to be a man! Pei Yuanqing didn't joke.

Things were similar to Su Dingfang's expectations, the artillery was pulled to the city of Honghua, and after only five rounds, He Sui couldn't wait to lead people out of the city.

It is really artillery for siege, more powerful, the power here is not to break the city, but for the soldiers defending the city, an iron egg, hit the crowd, and break a bloody road in an instant, what iron shield, iron armor, is nothing. He Sui didn't know that the artillery attack would not last long, he thought that the artillery was like a catapult, it could keep attacking, and when he saw the damage of the artillery to the soldiers and the city wall, he did not dare to let the attack go, in that case, I am afraid that before the city was broken, the morale of the soldiers would be completely lost.

The Liang division was backed by the Turks, so there was no shortage of war horses, and Honghua, as the front line, had 10,000 elite iron cavalry, so he did not hesitate to let Suo Zhou lead the troops out of the city, intending to destroy the artillery.

Seeing the city gate open, Qin Yong immediately stepped forward excitedly and said, "General, please let us attack the first wave!" ”

"Good!" Su Dingfang also wanted to see what other means of attack the artillery had, so he nodded and agreed, but he then asked Pei Yuanqing to prepare.

I saw Qin Yong leading the artillery, and immediately brought out many strange things, and three hundred people took out an iron rod on their backs.

Seeing that the enemy cavalry began to charge, Qin swallowed his saliva, took out an iron horn, and kept shouting: "Steady!" Steady! ”

"Ignition!"

With Qin Yong's shout, the soldier picked up the torch in his hand and lit the thing in front of him.

"Bang! Bang bang! ”

"Woo! Whining! There was a crisp sound, accompanied by a burst of screams, and Su Dingfang saw the pile of things in front of him, shooting out many arrows, and rushing towards the cavalry with four fires.

Small iron eggs, arrows, with sparks, plunged headlong into the cavalry.

"Rush! Rush! Rush over! Suo Zhou saw that suddenly many strange things rushed towards him, not only with screams, but also sparks, but also some firecracker-like sounds, and suddenly felt anxious, and hurriedly ordered loudly. He knew that this long-range attack was much better as long as he was close.

"Fire!" A voice came into Suo Zhou's ears, and he didn't have time to think about why the enemy's voice, two or three hundred meters apart, seemed to ring in his ears, and he only had one thought, rush over and kill the enemy.

"Bang! Bang bang! A series of voices sounded, and then Suo Zhou felt his body rise into the air, and after a whirlwind, Suo Zhou's last feeling was pain all over his body.

In Su Dingfang's eyes, those soldiers held sticks, raised their hands, and then lit them by their companions, and then he knew that it was also a firearm. Before he could figure it out, the stick in the soldier's hand erupted into a spark, and at the same time, a muffled sound came into his ears.

"Little artillery!" This is what Su Dingfang thought in his heart, as soon as he thought of this, he saw the enemy cavalry in front of him fall to the ground one after another, the war horses stood and neighed, and then like headless flies, they scurried around, allowing the cavalry to pull in.

People turn on their backs, this is the only word that can be described, the war horse who heard the sound of guns for the first time was frightened and made a mess on the battlefield, such an opportunity, how could Su Dingfang let it go, and directly ordered Pei Yuanqing to attack.

Pei Yuanqing, who had long been unable to bear it, immediately rushed out with the cavalry, and their war horses, after two shellings, under the appeasement of the soldiers, had somewhat overcome their fear, causing them to successfully launch a charge under the reprimand of the cavalry.

Seeing the chaos outside the city, He Sui couldn't help but close his eyes and thought bitterly: "It's over!" ”

Like a headless fly scurrying, in the face of a fierce and vicious enemy, where is there any possibility of winning, He Sui's heart sank like water, the letter for help has only been gone for two days, and now the cavalry is all wiped out, and the enemy has an artifact to help, he really doesn't know if he can hold Honghua City.

He could see clearly the wave of attacks on the cavalry just now, it was really lightning and flint, and the cavalry fell in large pieces.

He Sui looked around blankly, and all he saw was the same face, frightened and dazed, at a loss, and didn't know what to do. The reverence for the unknown made the guards think that they had offended the gods on their side, and thus attracted heavenly punishment.

Although there were still 40,000 people in hand, He Sui didn't have any sense of security, especially when Suo Zhou died in battle, he felt even more lonely, and it seemed that there was no one to discuss!

"General! Why don't you go down! One of the adjutant generals cautiously suggested.

"What?" He Sui, who came back to his senses, asked.

The deputy general was taken aback, and seeing that He Sui had no intention of blaming, he swallowed his saliva and continued: "General, the Sui army has thunder, non... It's not as good as human resistance... Why don't you come down! ”

"Surrender?" He Sui muttered.

"Yes, general, the Liang division is colluding with the Turks, sooner or later it will not be a good death, the general still has 40,000 brothers in his hands, if he surrenders, he will definitely be reused." The adjutant nodded and said in an affirmative tone.

"Really?" He Sui, who had no master of the six gods, asked casually.

The lieutenant general, who was bent on saving his life, nodded hurriedly and said, "Really, it must be true." ”

"Whew!" He Sui let out a long breath, then came back to his senses, closed his eyes, and when he opened them, his eyes returned to clarity.

He Sui's mind was racing, and now Honghua must not be able to hold it, after all, that kind of earth-shattering thing has beaten the morale to the ground, although there are only 30,000 people outside the city, but the morale is high, this comparison, I know that it is difficult to keep it. Dead friends don't die in poverty, and there is no need for him to bury Master Liang.

After thinking about it, He Sui made a decision to surrender Kaesong! With an order, the soldiers hurriedly lowered their weapons. Seeing this scene, He Sui felt that he had made the right decision.

Su Dingfang took over Honghua City, and Zhang Ju naturally persuaded Liu Min to surrender, this time, the entire Honghua and the armed forces were all taken, leaving some small counties, but sending a team of men and horses could recover the problem.

The most important thing is to take Honghua, not to lose a single person, but to get more than 50,000 soldiers, and 5,000 intact war horses, these soldiers are unqualified in Su Dingfang's opinion, but if you choose, you can still produce 20,000 soldiers.

Wu Bao arranged 1,000 of his own people, 4,000 selected soldiers to guard together, and Su Dingfang personally sat in Honghua City, but how to march next depends on Liang Shidu's reaction.

After all, taking Honghua, facing Diaoyin and Yan'an, dividing troops to attack, there is a bit of a shortage of manpower, Zhang Ju and others can't fully believe it, and the back road can't be handed over to them. In other words, it will not work to attack only one way, so now we can only look at Liang Shidu's reaction, whether to continue to defend or send troops to recover.

Although Su Dingfang's strategy is extraordinary, it is only a partial division and there is a shortage of manpower, so he has to send a message to Jinyang on the one hand, arrange defense on the other, and wait with peace of mind.

Su Dingfang achieved gratifying results, and the other few people and horses were not inferior to others, and the main force of Li Jing and Qin Qiong's men and horses went out of Yanmen, crossed Mayi, and went straight to Dingxiang City.

In order to ascend to the throne, Jieli Khan also bought people's hearts, so he sealed Ashina and Shibaobi, the sons of Shibi Khan, as Tuli Khan, and at the same time gave Dingxiang City to him.

Dingxiang City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the four rivers in the territory are smooth, all year round, the climate is mild, so it is a very good place, has been regarded as one of the nests by Shibi Khan, but with the demise of Liu Wuzhou, Yanmen, and Mayi were lost, Dingxiang has some chicken ribs. In order to reflect his closeness to the people, Jieli Khan has not lived in Dingxiang, so he sent the boat to Ashina and Shi Bobi, not only to buy people's hearts, but also to let him resist the enemies who came to Bingzhou.

Thanks to Shibi Khan, Ashina, Shibaobi, and Tuli Khan, there are not many people who support it, so there are not many troops in Dingxiangcheng, there are more than ten tribes of all sizes, 50,000 elite cavalry, and more than 300,000 herdsmen.

Li Jing's attack on Dingxiang was to occupy this key place and at the same time strike at the strength of the Turks, after all, no matter what was going on inside the Turks, in the face of external enemies, they would definitely face it hand in hand.

Qin Qiong and Yi Nan led 20,000 Xue Yantuo cavalry to Dingxiang City, Li Yuanba and Luo Shixin led 5,000 iron cavalry respectively to strangle the herdsmen outside Dingxiang.

Li Jing sent troops this time, two major purposes, one is to fight the strength of Jieli Khan, and the other is to capture prisoners, so 40,000 foot soldiers, and at the same time take into account the task of capturing herdsmen.

No matter who it is, every time he goes out, he can't avoid huge logistical support, and Zou Yu's side is certainly no exception, but his logistics are different.

Ordinary people use logistics, it must be the people who recruit labor, Zou Yu is different, he uses more second-line soldiers, that is, the guards who guard the cities, they as logistics, not only save the elite soldiers who escort grain and grass, but also have a certain combat power, and can also support the front at critical moments.

The territory in front can be handed over to them to guard, including prisoners, of course, so the logistics of each expedition are no less than the large army in front.

In addition to escorting grain and grass, logistics is also responsible for cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded, so most of them have become professional personnel.

Li Jing's army swept all the way in front, and the logistics in the rear accepted prisoners all the way, as well as cattle, sheep and horses, as for the Tuli Khan in Dingxiang, he was already panicked.

It is now May, it is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is also a good season for grazing, so the herdsmen are scattered outside the city, from getting the horses and horses to get the soldiers and horses to Qin Qiong's soldiers coming to the city, but only 30,000 horses have returned.

The people and horses who came back later, either killed or scattered, you must know that they are facing the Xue Yantuo people who know them best, they are also nomads of the grassland, they know their habits very well, and they also know the way of fighting, but the Xue Yantuo cavalry, now with elite equipment, where will the Turks be opponents, under their blockade, no one from the Turks will kill back in the city.

The Turki Khan organized two men and horses to fight out of the city and kill the Yimen, but they were all in vain.
