Xi Zhicai dispatched all kinds of soldiers and horses to take Chu Yan as the commander, and adopted the strategy of monitoring Junmi and encircling the royal gate, forming a powerful psychological offensive. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The 50,000 soldiers and horses of the royal gate honestly stayed in the camp and did not dare to make any moves, and the royal gate did not close their eyes for three days and three nights, but they were still undecided.

Chu Yan asked Tian Yu to divide 5,000 troops to bluff outside Junmi City, make a posture of encircling Junmi, and then ordered the two armies of Upa and Tian Yu to encircle Wangmen.

The camp of the royal gate was surrounded by dense war drums and shouts of killing, the sound of the galloping hooves of the war horses made the whole land tremble, the king men climbed the watchtower to observe the enemy situation, and found that the surrounding were densely packed with cavalry, "Chu", "Tian" and the Wupa general flag printed with the eagle of the grassland fluttering in the wind.

Wang Men really had no choice this time, either to be surrounded and annihilated, or to surrender, he thought about it, or decided to surrender, there was no need to make senseless sacrifices.

When Chu Yan commanded the armies to approach the Wangmen military camp, the gate was wide open, and the generals under Wangmen were waiting outside the gate.

When Wang Men saw Chu Yan coming, he didn't know if he was the main general, so he hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Wangmen, I decided to lead my troops to surrender, please introduce you to the main general of your army!" ”

Chu Yan said: "The general Chu Yan is the main general here." Why do you want to surrender? ”

Wang Men said: "Gongsun Zhan is brave and ruthless, rigid and self-serving, and he is really a mediocre master; In consideration of the lives of the 50,000 soldiers under his command, he decided to change his banner and serve the Taiwei Gong. ”

All the generals under his command also said in unison: "I am willing to serve the Taiwei Gong!" ”

Chu Yan said: "Since you intend to serve, you will be the lord of the Ming Dynasty, but the 50,000 soldiers under your command need to be temporarily used under the command of our army, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

The royal family and the generals looked at each other, Chu Yan is too direct, right? But since he has surrendered, it is not good to disagree, so he said: "But according to General Chu's orders!" ”

Chu Yan said: "Okay, Wangmen, you temporarily appoint my subordinate army Sima to join the military, and the rest of the generals will go back to the headquarters, straighten out the soldiers and horses, and I will command them in a unified manner." ”

The generals were ordered to return to the camp, Chu Yan also entered the military camp of the royal gate under the escort of his own soldiers, and after the assembly, Chu Yan told everyone about the policy that Jiang Sheng had always implemented, mainly the treatment after surrendering, which was better than Gongsun Zhan I don't know how many times, and the morale and enthusiasm of the troops were mobilized.

Tian Yu took his own soldiers to count the materials and equipment of the battalion and took them all over.

After making preparations, Chu Yan immediately commanded a large army to surround Junmi County, and now Chu Yan has an army of 140,000 under his command, and it is quite easy to surround a small Junmi County.

At the beginning, Yan Gang hoped that the royal gate could organize a defense, but he didn't expect the royal gate to surrender directly, and he was cheeky to persuade Yan Gang to surrender.

Gongsun Xu is the son of Gongsun Zhan, of course he will not surrender, and Yan Gang is one of Gongsun Zhan's most trusted generals.

Chu Yan asked the royal family to persuade him to surrender, but it was just a superficial matter, so as not to make people think that Chu Yan was a murderer, this is a salute before the soldiers, if you don't surrender, don't blame me for attacking.

Yan Gang and Gongsun Xu were determined not to surrender, but the soldiers under their command didn't think so, looking at the encirclement of the three layers outside the city, they knew that it was a defeat without a war, and it was almost impossible to break through.

Now Gongsun Zhan can be said to be in the waning mountains, and most of these Youzhou soldiers have family members, at this time, they are more concerned about their lives than loyalty.

Xi Zhicai's strategy of surrendering without a fight was precisely to see this key, and sure enough, more than ten middle-level officers led the army into the residence of Yan Gang and Gongsun Xu, and directly cut down these two, and those hardcore subordinates were also besieged overnight.

The defenders of Junmi City entered a state of cannibalism, and the surrender faction and the die-hard defenders fought all night, and at dawn, Gongsun Xu and Yan Gang's hardcore subordinates above the rank of captain were killed, and the soldiers of the two factions also suffered more than 2,000 casualties, but in the end the surrender faction took control of the whole city.

In the early morning, the city gate was opened, and more than 20 knights rushed out, taking Yan Gang, Gongsun Xu and the heads of the main generals under his command, and went straight to the Chu Yan camp.

Chu Yan did not spend a single soldier, and easily mastered Junmi, so far, most of the right Beiping County has fallen into the hands of Jiang Sheng, and only the mounds remain.

The armies of all roads rested for ten days, Chu Yan let Wupa return to Yuyang County, Tian Yu guarded the right Beiping County, Wang Men and other generals followed Chu Yan to lead the army south, marched to the earth, Tian Yu set up the county seat in Xu Wu County, Tai Shici joined Chu Yanjun after the defense handover.

Chu Yan allocated 20,000 cavalry to Tai Shi Ci, and let Tai Shi Ci maneuver to the periphery of Tuyin County, waiting for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy, and led the main force to join the Yu Ban and Gao Lan troops who had already arrived.

Now the strength around the mound has reached 150,000, basically forming an encirclement of the mound mound, and the grain and grass materials are piled up, which greatly shocked the surrendered Youzhou soldiers, and the siege weapons neatly arranged in the rear battalion made them dazzled, and many people have suffered the loss of these weapons, and now look at this scale, it is not difficult to raze a medium-sized city.

In order to ensure the best result of the final battle, Xi Zhicai personally went to the front-line military camp to plan the battle, but the climate was not beautiful, the severe cold had hit on a large scale, and the heavy snow was falling non-stop.

All the generals are anxious, how can they attack the city in this kind of weather now?

Xi Zhicai was leisurely and said to the generals: "It's cold, and we don't lack a lot of food and clothing, so what's the hurry?" ”

Yu Ban said: "Military advisor, now that we have a large number of soldiers, why are we still wasting time here?" Directly take down the mound, it will be regarded as a Spring Festival gift to the lord, so it is not a way. ”

All the generals also echoed the voice, and they all wanted to fight quickly.

Xi Zhicai said: "Don't worry, Gongsun Chan won't last long, the weather is cold, there is a shortage of water and food in the city, we just need to be shocked, and the city will be in chaos." You must surround the mound well, and do not let go of a soldier who tries to break through, I can assert that you can go home for the Spring Festival! ”

Gongsun Chan is now a complete madman, and the guards around him will be whipped by him if they are not careful, and several maidservants in the house are abused by Gongsun Chan every day.

Gongsun Chan felt that venting was not enough, so he sent people to send people to send those generals who stayed in the city to see them, and those generals were inexplicably abused and whipped, and two people were directly beheaded by Gongsun Chan after a few words.

The snow fell heavily for ten days, the snow on the city wall was frozen, and it was impossible to attack the city, but the fortress was the easiest to be breached from the inside.

The desperate Gongsun Zan killed his wife and concubine, and did not even let go of the eight-month-pregnant concubine, and then ran to the highest place in the mansion and set himself on fire.
