Remember [Lewen] in a second. Alas, for you to read wonderfully.

What Wang Yanyu didn't know was that this time it was not only Li Chengding's Wu army that went south, but also three ways to attack at the same time.

At the beginning, after Li Chengding reported all the news obtained from Fuzhou and his decision to send troops to Yang Wu, Yang Wu quickly realized the seriousness of the problem, and it may be impossible to peacefully subdue Fujian, and he must be prepared to use force.

So at that time, Yang Wu sent an order to Zhou Ben, who was already in Chuzhou, and Liu Cun, who was in Wenzhou, so that they could prepare to send troops.

After the order to send troops was issued, the Wu army was able to move as quickly as possible.

In this attack on Fujian, the Wu army dispatched a total of 60,000 troops from three armies to launch an attack in three directions, of which Zhou Ben set out from Chuzhou and attacked Jianzhou together with Li Chengding of Jianyang, and the rest of Liu Cun sent troops from Wenzhou, aiming directly at Fuzhou.

This time, the Wu army's attack was still won by speed, and Zhou Ben and other Wu generals knew very well that on the surface, the chaos in Fuzhou had made those generals who opposed surrender regain control of Fujian, but it would take them a lot of time to completely control the situation.

Attacking as fast as possible can reduce the time for the enemy army to prepare, and completely stun the enemy army with the sharpest and fastest speed.

And in fact, they did.

Due to the terrain barrier, the speed of news transmission in Fujian is generally very slow, so Wang Yanyu still does not know the news that the Wu army in Chuzhou and Wenzhou has already sent troops.

He had heard rumors a long time ago that the Wu army was good at attacking cities, so he did not plan to defend Jianzhou City, but took the initiative to lead the army to attack, preparing to hold on to dangerous places, so as to hold on to the change.

Wanggongling.

Li Chengding looked at the three camps in front of him, and couldn't help but sneer: "This Wang Yanyu chose to build a camp here, wanting to choke our army's road to Jianzhou. His idea was good, but unfortunately he didn't know the current situation. ”

This place in front of him is indeed a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Wang Yanyu chose to defend here, and it is indeed difficult for the Wu army to break through in a short time.

In addition, the nearby terrain is also very dangerous, and it is not easy to make a detour.

However, for Li Chengding, he has a huge advantage, that is, he is not alone, the Middle Route Army under the personal command of Zhou Ben has already sent troops from Chuzhou, and it will take ten days at most to reach Jianzhou.

However, Wang Yanyu concentrated all the main forces of Jianzhou here to confront him, which meant that when the news of the Zhou Benzhong Route Army arrived, Wang Yanyu had to withdraw his troops and go back to rescue Jianzhou, and at that time it was time for the Wu army to take the opportunity to attack.

Li Chengding made a decision in his heart, and immediately ordered all departments to start building a camp and confronted Wang Yanyu.

A few days later, thirty miles northeast of Jianzhou, an army of more than 10,000 people quietly marched, led by a man riding a high-headed horse, it was Zhou Ben, the Fujian envoy, and a general on the side carried a bow, which was the commander of Mi Zhicheng.

"Not far ahead is Jianzhou, I don't know how the enemy army is deployed now, where is Li Chengding now? Why didn't you send someone to contact me? Zhou Ben asked, twisting his beard.

"The Governor of Dadu can rest assured that General Anxi is a steady person, has many strategies, and has won the true inheritance of his father, and the reason why he has not sent someone to contact him now should be because the road is cut off." Mi Zhicheng said with a smile.

Zhou Ben nodded, looked up at the sky and said, "It's not early today, give the order, the army will stop advancing and camp on the spot!" Send scouts to find out! ”

During this time, the speed of Wu's march can be described as superb, covering nearly 300 miles in only seven days, which is already an incredible speed in this era.

Along the way, I also encountered many sentry posts set up by the Jianzhou army, but because the Wu army came too quickly, the defenders in these sentry posts were taken prisoner before they even had time to pass on the news.

So along the way, there were basically no obstacles.

After the camp was built, the scouts who had gone out to inquire about the news finally returned.

"Huh? Now Li Chengding is confronting Wang Yanyu in Wanggongling, north of Jianzhou City? Listening to the news that the scout had discovered, Zhou Ben's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Wang Yanyu led the main force to confront Li Chengding, which meant that the troops in Jianzhou City were empty, and it was a good time to attack on a large scale.

can't help but be so, when the news of the Wu army's appearance under the city of Jianzhou reaches Wanggongling, Wang Yanyu will definitely retreat back to rescue Jianzhou, and then Li Chengding will definitely take the opportunity to pursue, this is a good opportunity to defeat Wang Yanyu's main force in one fell swoop!

Thinking of this, Zhou Ben hurriedly ordered: "General Mi, this general ordered you to lead 3,000 troops to the north of the city to set up an ambush, and when Wang Yanyu withdraws his troops, the ambush will be exhausted, and the enemy will definitely be broken." Exactly how you decide! ”

"Don't worry, the Governor of the Metropolis will definitely complete the task successfully!" Mi Zhicheng smiled and bowed to Zhou Ben, and left with confidence overnight.

Early the next morning, Zhou Ben led a large army to enter the city of Jianzhou, and the defenders in the city did not discover the arrival of the Wu army until this time, and there was a great chaos.

In the midst of the confusion, some men galloped out of the city on horseback and headed north.

When Zhou Ben saw it, he immediately understood that he was going to report to Wang Yanyu, and he originally wanted to use this news to disturb Wang Yanyu's position and create conditions for ambushing him, so he did not order to stop the messengers who went to report the news.

After the messenger was far away, the Wu army also arrived at the city, and the panicked defenders did not even have time to close the city gate at this time, and many soldiers and civilians who had not had time to withdraw into the city crowded the city gate, making the city gate unable to close.

Under the strict orders of Chen Ming, the guard general who stayed in Jianzhou, the soldiers defending the city shot indiscriminately with bows and crossbows, and poked spears indiscriminately, and in a rain of blood, the city gate was finally closed, but the panic of the defenders in the city did not decrease at all.

This time the Wu army came really unexpectedly, and the defenders in the city at this time were only 2,000 people, which was not enough to resist the attack of the Wu army.

Zhou Ben was not in a hurry to attack the city, for him, Jianzhou was already a dead city, and there was no need to rush at all.

On the one hand, he ordered all the troops to make all kinds of preparations for the siege of the city, and on the other hand, he sent people to the city to persuade him to surrender.

Soon, a guard with a loud voice, escorted by several cavalry, slowly walked to the front of the city and shouted loudly: "Listen to the defenders of the city, the governor of my family fought in Ivory Lake in the past, and with more than 10,000 elite soldiers, he broke through the army of 100,000 people. Now that the Metropolitan Governor is once again leading 20,000 elite soldiers, how can Yier and other thousands of defenders in the middle of the city be able to resist? If you know each other, open the city gate and surrender quickly, but you can save your life! If there is any further hesitation, the army will attack the city, and it will be too late to regret it! ”

The man's voice was extremely loud, and echoes were heard from all sides.

After he said the words of persuasion to surrender once, he repeated it twice, and finally said: "The governor of my family will give you a stick of incense time to think, if you do not surrender after a stick of incense, our army will start to attack the city!" ”

With that, the man turned and left, escorted by cavalry.

Under the banner of the Wu Army, Zhou Ben waited quietly.

The words of persuasion have already been said, as for whether the defenders in the city will resist stubbornly or open the door and surrender, it is not up to him.

If the defenders refuse to surrender after a stick of incense, it can only be said that the other party is too ignorant of current affairs.

Fortunately, a moment later, with a "squeak" sound, the gate of Jianzhou City, which had just been closed with a lot of effort, slowly opened again.

A general, about thirty years old, led out with a dozen retinues of Pegasus, and behind him were two thousand dejected soldiers.

When it was dozens of steps ahead of Zhou Ben, the team gradually stopped, and the person at the head was Chen Ming.

I saw him turn over and dismount, kneel on the ground and plead loudly to Zhou Ben: "Chen Ming, the commander of the criminal general Jianzhou, will meet the Governor of Dadu and be willing to surrender to the Governor." ”

Zhou Ben smiled at this time.

Although Chen Ming is Wang Yanyu's trusted general, in the current situation, it is obvious that the general trend of Jianzhou has gone, and it is impossible to resist Zhou Ben's attack.

He is not a fool, so it is naturally impossible for him to resist stubbornly without knowing that he can't do anything, so after Zhou Ben sent someone to persuade him to surrender, Chen Ming only hesitated for a moment before choosing to surrender.

"General Chen can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, this is a meritorious and Jianzhou military and civilian, what is the crime?" Although Zhou Ben was a little disdainful in his heart, he still said politely.

It is also a good thing to be able to capture Jianzhou without bloodshed, not only can it save a lot of trouble, but also can save a lot of time, so why not do it.

Of course, a soldier like Chen Ming who surrendered when he came to the city would definitely be difficult to be reused after he returned, and at most he would serve as a petty officer in the Xiang army.

This kind of character is naturally difficult to talk to a general like Zhou Ben on weekdays.

Therefore, Zhou Ben didn't have much interest in talking to him, and after talking a few words about the scene, and after calming down, he sent Chen Ming to rest, as for the two thousand troops he brought out of the city, they were naturally tightly controlled.

As soon as the city of Jianzhou was broken, Wang Yanyu had lost his way to retreat, and with the Wu army surrounded by the front and back, his fall was a matter of time.

A few days later, Wang Yanyu, who learned that Jianzhou had been attacked by the Wu army, hurriedly led his army to retreat.

Li Chengding immediately led the troops to pursue, coupled with the ambush set by Mi Zhicheng in advance, in just over half an hour of fighting, more than 10,000 Jianzhou troops disappeared, and a large number of soldiers chose to surrender to the Wu army, including Wang Yanyu, who was still lucky.
