Chapter 176: Strength Doubled
Ambushed by Zhang Liao and Chang Yuchun, what is the chance of a Jedi counterattack?
You can tell Yao Ziduan very clearly, rounding to zero.
The road ahead was blocked, there were mountains and forests on both sides, and they were all archers, and there were Zhang Liao and Chang Yuchun behind them to attack, Yao Ziduan's 5,000 soldiers and horses were like old turtles in Wengzhong, their limbs were scratching, and their heads were shaking, but their bodies turned over, and they were powerless to return to the sky.
Many Qingzhou soldiers have fled in all directions, putting their lives first, Yao Ziduan has not fled, and is still leading the soldiers to resist stubbornly. Unfortunately, when he was surrounded by regiments and it was too late to evacuate, he realized that the general trend had gone.
At this time, his face was bloodstained, he clenched the spear in his hand, and tears lingered in his tiger eyes.
His wife is about to give birth in October, and now it seems that she can't wait for the child to be born, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl?
"Kill!"
Yao Ziduan roared, did not let the tears fall, and continued to fight with red eyes.
At this time, a young man with a resolute face came over, it was Chang Yuchun.
Chang Yuchun slashed at Yao Ziduan, and the cold blade made Yao Ziduan's face change drastically, and he hurriedly blocked with his gun, and the terrifying force made him take a few steps back.
Then, Chang Yuchun began to attack frantically, and the sharp knife in his hand swept with unstoppable momentum, comprehensively suppressing Yao Ziduan. And Yao Ziduan was ready to die on the battlefield, and he didn't have any worries in his mind, regardless of his own injury, he fought back frantically.
Within two feet, no one dared to step forward to support, because both of them were red-eyed.
In the end, Yao Ziduan was still inferior and was cut off by Chang Yuchun.
Zhang Liao nodded secretly, Shen Ning asked him to pay attention to Chang Yuchun, during this period of observation, he found that this person was really brave and resolute, he was a tiger general! Today, he killed Yao Ziduan, and with this exploit, the position of brigade commander can also be promoted.
...
Shen Ning was sitting in the military tent drinking tea, when suddenly, the system sounded a prompt sound.
"Ding-dong... Congratulations to the host, destroy the Qingzhou reinforcements, reputation +50, the current score is 180100, do you want to open the wheel? ”
Defeating Ke Zhennan's soldiers and horses, assassinating Ke Zhennan, and ambushing Qingzhou reinforcements, brought Shen Ning more than 100 points, and was able to open a new wheel. It's a pity that the Qingzhou soldiers killed by his soldiers did not bring Shen Ning a kill value, unless Shen Ning did it himself, otherwise it would be a surge of several thousand points.
Killing Yao Ziduan was expected, Shen Ning was not surprised, and immediately opened the wheel:
"One hundred, the white horse is righteous!"
"Wen Chou!"
"Ke Zhen Evil!"
"Zhuge Repeater!"
"Mandarin Duck Array!"
...
Shen Ning immediately opened the wheel, and after so many times, Shen Ning was already able to face the result calmly.
When the pointer slowly stopped, it landed in an area:
"One hundred, the white horse is righteous!"
Shen Ning's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Every time Zhan fights with the captives, he often rides a white horse, chases without vain, wins several victories, and tells the captives: 'Avoid the white horse'."
Gongsun Zhan's white horse Congyi is an excellent cavalryman, although Shen Ning is a traverser, he is also well versed in the strength of cavalry, and he has always wanted to form an excellent cavalry regiment.
Therefore, the arrival of a hundred white horses to serve righteousness can be regarded as a good start for Shen Ning's cavalry regiment.
On the other side, after Zhang Liao and Shen Zhaoyuan destroyed the Qingzhou reinforcements, they returned to the barracks, and Shen Ning ordered the whole army to be rewarded.
And then, one hundred of his white horses also rushed over. These 100 people are Li Yuanxiao's carefully cultivated soldiers, proficient in riding and archery, brave and loyal, and will be loyal to Shen Ning in the future.
Shen Ning happily accepted it, and then handed it to Huo Tianxing and asked him to train.
At the same time, the Qingzhou reinforcements were ambushed, and the news of the annihilation of the whole army was transmitted back to Chengyang County, and the people in the city, which was already disheartened, were even more panicked.
And the battle report here also quickly spread in all directions.
After Sima Yue, the king of the southeast, was overjoyed and praised Shen Ning as a lucky general!
It has only been a long time since he went to Chengyang County, and he has obtained such a good news, which really impresses him, if he can occupy Chengyang County, then he will sweep away the depression of being humiliated by King Qi before. Moreover, after occupying Chengyang County, it is also very important to the layout of the entire Xuzhou.
Taking advantage of the impetus of Shen Ning's victory, Li Yuanxiao ordered the third division of Dongguan County to start attacking, and the third division advanced to the north and immediately hit the central position of Dongguan County. On the other hand, the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou were defeated and retreated, and they could only focus on defense.
As for how angry the King of Qi of Qingzhou City was when he got the news, it is unknown.
The next thing for Shen Ning is to seize the county seat of Chengyang.
Naturally, you can't storm the city, but you can rebel.
When Ke Zhennan was there, he could still deter his subordinates, but with Ke Zhennan being killed, the division masters under his command were in their own camps, and no one obeyed anyone, so there was the possibility of rebellion.
Do you stick to the county seat, or take refuge in the king of the southeast?
Li Ru personally went out and went to Chengyang County, and with his three-inch tongue, he persuaded a master Chen Zichuan.
This person is not from Qingzhou, and his family is not in Qingzhou, so even if he changes his course and takes refuge in Shen Ning, he is not afraid of something that will happen to his family. This person is quite talented and eye-catching, he has long realized that it is difficult for King Qi to achieve great things, so he wants to find another way, this time he was moved by Li Ru and is willing to vote for another master.
And he quickly took out a letter of resignation, invited the other three masters on the grounds of deliberation, and then ambushed the knife and axe men to capture all three masters.
Then open the city gate and invite Shen Ning to enter the city.
So the old saying is right, attacking the city is the next strategy, in fact, there are many ways to take the city without blood, it depends on whether you find a good way.
Shen Ning and Li Ru had already calculated all the steps to seize Chengyang County before they set off in Pengcheng, before they led their troops.
Now taking Chengyang County is actually expected.
After entering the city, Shen Ning immediately ordered to pacify the people in the city. For the people, it is still the world of the Great Jin, they are still the people of the Great Jin, whoever occupies this city, they will listen to whomever they want, and the people will not rise up to resist.
And when pacifying the people, they began to recruit Qingzhou soldiers.
At this time, in the county guard's mansion, Shen Ning summoned Chen Zichuan.
"Sin General Chen Zichuan, meet General Shen!" Chen Zichuan couldn't afford to bow down.
Shen Ning walked down personally, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Master Chen, please hurry up, you are the great benefactor of the people in the city, you abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, I don't know how many people and soldiers you have saved, what are your crimes?" ”
Chen Zichuan was stunned, he didn't expect Shen Ning to say this, his heart warmed, and he was even grateful.
Betraying the former lord and joining someone else's command like him is the least likely to be trusted, because you have a precedent, and who knows if you will continue to betray.
However, Shen Ning did not doubt Chen Zichuan, but felt that this person was smart, knowledgeable about current affairs, and could be reused.
Subsequently, Shen Ning chatted with Chen Zichuan, and after getting acquainted with each other, Shen Ning said, "Master Chen, I have a heavy task entrusted to you. ”
"General, please!" Chen Zichuan asked respectfully.
Shen Ning said with a smile: "You help me recruit the Qingzhou soldiers in the city, if you are willing to surrender, you can join my command, enjoy the same treatment as the soldiers under my command, and reward three taels of silver settlement fees." If they don't want to submit, I won't embarrass them, but I can't let them go, because I have rules above me. ”
Chen Zichuan nodded, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the general will definitely handle this matter!" ”
"Good! I wait for your good news! Shen Ning smiled and let Chen Zichuan leave.
In the next few days, Chengyang County changed owners, and everyone had to be busy.
Shen Ning was not idle, and set up a banquet to entertain the families of Chengyang County, these families are all grass on the wall, for them, it doesn't matter who occupies Chengyang County, as long as it does not harm their interests. Shen Ning was not short of money, so he didn't make it difficult for them.
However, these families are also very discerning, and they immediately want to fund, because Shen Ning doesn't want money, just war horses, so these families together have funded nearly five hundred war horses.
And after Chen Zichuan's lobbying, most of the Qingzhou soldiers are willing to submit, these soldiers are all from military families, whether they are Shun King Qi or the Southeast King, their military registration is in the military department, and there is no need to be afraid of King Qi making things difficult for his family, of course, it is impossible for the high King of Qi to be idle and bored to do this kind of thing.
And they also inquired about the situation from the soldiers under Shen Ning's command, as long as they joined, not only will they be rewarded for their merits, but also have a fair reward and punishment system, and the military salary is also generous, on the other hand, Ke Zhennan's previous set of methods of leading troops is simply exploiting soldiers.
Coupled with Chen Zichuan's lobbying, almost ninety percent of the soldiers were willing to submit.
This is more than 9,000 soldiers, which instantly doubled Shen Ning's soldiers and horses, and rushed straight to 20,000 troops!
Next, the Qingzhou soldiers were scattered and integrated into the original Tiger Roar Army, Zhang Liao, Shen Zhaoyuan, and Li Xiaojie increased from 4,000 to 5,000 troops, and each army had an additional master. And Chen Zhichuan is still 4,000 soldiers and horses.
At the same time, Shen Ning continued to recruit troops and continue to expand his forces while the four armies remained unchanged. In this way, the four armies are declared to the outside world, but the actual strength of each army is not announced to the public, even if some people doubt it, they are helpless against Shen Ning.
At the same time as recruiting troops, the four armies were not idle, the first army stayed behind, and the other three armies began to sweep the entire Chengyang County, leveling all the resistance forces in the county and completely occupying Chengyang County.
From Shen Ning's departure from Pengcheng to the complete capture of Chengyang County, it only took more than three months.
Late autumn is also winter.
When the King of Qi completely lost Chengyang County, he was angry and threatened to cut Shen Ning with a thousand knives, but unfortunately the battle situation in Dongguan County restrained most of his troops, and he had no extra troops to take back Chengyang County.
Next, Shen Ning took Chengyang County as his base camp and began to continue to expand his strength.
He ordered Zhang Liao to lead troops to garrison Chang'an County in the north of Chengyang County, Shen Zhaoyuan to lead troops to garrison Dongwu County, Chen Zichuan to garrison Zhuxian County, and the three armies to garrison the central and northern regions of Chengyang County.
Moreover, the three armies were stationed in three counties, which was more convenient for them to expand their troops, and Shen Ning gave them an order to expand their 5,000 people to 10,000, each of whom was the master of the division.
Li Xiaojie stayed in Chengyang County, Chang Yuchun was also left by Shen Ning, and the war horses and white horses obtained were handed over to him to manage, and a cavalry of 1,000 people was formed, which will definitely dominate the battlefield in the future.
Time is also imperceptibly at the end of the year.
