Shouzhou.

The Wei army was attacked from two sides, and the Southern Tang army was in a dilemma, but for some reason, they fought desperately, even if the Wei generals shouted "surrender and not die", no one retreated and surrendered, and there seemed to be some kind of belief to support them.

The two sides were stuck, Chen Xu spread out the net he had sown, and under the stubborn resistance of the Southern Tang Army, he still walked a few fish that slipped through the net.

Dozens of horsemen broke away from the battle and approached the city gate at great speed.

There was a military general in the crowd.

"Chase!"

Chen Xu made a decision immediately, ordered his own soldiers, and pursued him.

I saw that the west gate of Shouzhou was opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and dozens of horsemen took the lead in leaving the dust and entering the city. The Wei army behind was a step late, and the drawbridge had already begun to rise.

The Wei infantry climbed over the fence and went straight to the city gate, and Chen Xu's own troops had just approached the city gate, and arrows rained down on the city's head, attacking the Wei army under the city in large areas.

The crowd had no choice but to withdraw from the city gate.

The Southern Tang soldiers who were encircled in the back were ordered to break off and drag the generals of the Wei army who had been killed in the chaos, and finally put down their arms and surrendered with their hands raised in defeat.

"Damn!" After the interrogation, Liu Renzhan was not found in this group of Southern Tang rebels, and the last trace of luck was shattered, and Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh.

The Southern Tang Army crossed, and Chen Xu's troops did not suffer very large casualties because they had prepared in advance, but the soldiers and civilians in the townships near them were strong, and when they encountered the fierce Southern Tang cavalry, they collapsed after several resistances, and still caused relatively large losses in the chaos. Still after inventory, a large number of wooden siege equipment were also burned in the chaos.

The siege equipment burned and burned, and if it was not enough, you could continue to cut wood from Bagong Mountain and re-make it, but the progress of the siege should be slowed down.

If people are there, there will be a chance to make a comeback.

It's just a pity that Liu Renzhan ran away, otherwise the lord would be captured, and the Shouzhou City army would be in turmoil, maybe they would be able to surrender without spending a single soldier and complete the siege task!

According to Chen Xu's plan, the Wei army defeated the Southern Tang army that went out of the city, and it was best to capture Liu Renzhan alive and force the Shouzhou city gate open. The ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny......

Li Wenzhao's report had been sent to Chuzhou, and the emperor had already reviewed it, and a few days later, an envoy sent by the emperor came to Shouzhou.

Chen Xu didn't know this messenger, but he knew that his name was like thunder in later generations, Zhao Pu, the prime minister in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The allusion to "half of the treatise on language rules the world" comes from his mouth.

Chen Xu looked at Zhao Pu, this is the first time he has seen a historical celebrity (history is not very good, I don't necessarily know if I have seen a historical celebrity) I feel that he is not much different from ordinary people, and I can't see that this guy has become the prime minister of the Song Dynasty since then, but now that history has become like this, whether he can become the prime minister in the future is still two words.

Zhao Pu and Chen Xu simply greeted each other, then walked around, walked along the way, and watched the deployment of the Wei army under the city. Chen Xu naturally accompanied him throughout the whole process, and there was nothing too important recently, and the excavation and slope construction were progressing steadily, so Chen Xu didn't need to spend too much effort on it.

Zhao Pu looked at the assembly line mode at the construction site and couldn't help but praise: "Chen Zhao, your manpower allocation method is very unique, the division of labor is clear, accurate in place, everyone only needs to do a small part of the things assigned to themselves, to save manpower to the greatest extent, not wasted."

Chen Xu said: "I have won awards."

Zhao Pu's words changed: "Your Majesty received a report from General Li that the general was deployed, saying that the general was slacking off the battle, I don't know if the general has any other thoughts about the siege of the city?"

Chen Xu sent his combat deployment to Zhao Pudao in detail one by one, and when the time came, he was going to report to the emperor, and Li Wenzhao, Li Jixun and others did not listen to the advice, to guard against a possible counterattack in the city, and did not move, as Chen Xu expected, a large number of men and horses of the Southern Tang Army were dispatched, fortunately, he was prepared, he led the troops to extinguish this group of men and horses in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

spit out a lot of saliva again, such as the lack of troops, and some of the left wing of the Hujie army are not in their hands......

These are the facts, since Zhao Pu asked, he didn't hide anything, these things are already known to everyone, there is no need to wipe their butts a few times.

It is best that the emperor quickly withdraw a few of them and transfer them to other places, so as not to interfere with his own performance.

Two days later, Zhao Pu went to the northwest where Li Wenzhao was stationed. Then he returned to Chuzhou in the south to report to the emperor.

Less than two days later, a fast horse rushed to Shouzhou and conveyed the emperor's order. Li Wenzhao was ordered to lead his troops to move to Haozhou (Haozhou had not yet been captured at this time), and the right flank of Li Jixun's Hujie army moved to the Tushan area northeast of Haozhou. and transferred the Third Army of the Left Wing of the Hujie Army to Shouzhou and was controlled by Chen Xu. So far, the number of elites that can be mobilized in Chen Xu's hands has reached 20,000.

Shouzhou outside the city surrounded on all sides, stretching for more than ten miles of the slope has been as high as the Shouzhou city wall, Chen Xu mobilized all the stone throwers to bombard the west city gate, using the method of "from the point to the surface", first break through a city gate, dozens of stone throwers started together, flying stones flew all over the sky, fell down the city wall, like a small meteorite group, smashed the Southern Tang Dynasty defenders fainted east and west, north and south, head and ears are buzzing.

In addition to a small setback under the city of Shouzhou, the Wei army has achieved good results on both the eastern and western fronts, especially the western front, which can be said to be blooming everywhere.

On July 10, He Chao, the commander of Zhao'an, led tens of thousands of troops from Anzhou, Suizhou, Shenzhou and Caizhou to besiege Gwangju.

On July 11, Xingshuzhou assassinated Shi Guo Lingtu to capture Shuzhou, and the Wei army pointed directly at Qizhou, which was forty miles southeast of Shuzhou, Qizhou was shaken, and the general Li Fu killed Wang Cheng, the governor of Qizhou, and surrendered to Great Wei.

Lu Rong decided to take advantage of the power of the great victory and let people attack Huangzhou non-stop.

The battlefields of the western front of the Wei army are blooming everywhere, and the achievements are remarkable, although there is a reason for the long time of the Wei army's military power and the lack of combat strength of the Southern Tang army, but there is also a part of it due to Wu Yueguo.

When the Wei and Tang dynasties started the war, the Great Wei Emperor issued an edict to let Qian Hongyu, the lord of Wu Yue, lead the army to assist the Wei army in the war, and sent 20,000 troops to attack Changzhou in the east of the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The loss of most of Huainan's territory shook the government and the opposition in Jiangning Mansion.

Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, sent envoys Li Deming, Sun Sheng, and Lu Rong to negotiate, hoping to remove his imperial title, cede six places of Shouzhou, Haozhou, Sizhou, Chuzhou, Guangzhou, and Haizhou, and pay an annual tribute of millions of gold and silk, begging Wei to strike his army.

It's just that Lu Rong is not satisfied with this point now, and he will never give up until he conquers all the Southern Tang territories north of the Yangtze River!
