In Youzhou City, the large and small battles that continue to advance towards the heart of the heart are still alive one after another.

A Huai army, which was being fought and advancing along the streets, was opened by the white soldiers and covered by the guns, suddenly stopped and regrouped.

Then I saw a sudden vibration and shout at the intersection of the street, and a number of carts tied up with large rows and quilts were pushed out, and the lead that shot in front of them hit the top with a puff, like mud cattle entering the sea, and the bows and arrows that fired back under the cover of the cart platoon also drew a low straight arc and fell in the queue of the Huai army, and caused new casualties;

Obviously, the other party learned the lesson of facing the gunners' volleys, and Xun came up with this temporary countermeasure.

Then these Huai army's gunners did not see any surprise or panic, but just spread out like a tide on both sides, and suddenly revealed a small cannon behind them; I only heard a loud sound of smoke and sparks, and the large row on top of the opposite side seemed to be pushed hard, and broke backwards, revealing a dazed figure behind it, and was also knocked to the ground by fragments.

In other cities, in the buildings on both sides of the street, from time to time there were large waves of air and debris, occasionally mixed with bloody human bodies and stumps, but most of them were enemies hidden in them; Under the watchful attention of the grenadiers, they were either killed and injured by the explosive bombs thrown by the grenadiers, or they were burned out by the fire oil bombs.

And I was also on the lookout of the castle tower at Kaiping Gate, comparing the sand table with the newly made layout of the city, while watching the battle that was advancing in sections and lines, and at the same time paying attention to the momentum of each attack, and the feedback and urgent reports that came back from time to time.

Obviously, this city wall, which is known as the circumference of thirty-two miles, still caused some delay and hindrance to the Huai army's attack and occupation; So much so that the defenders on the other sections of the wall to the east, north, and south had enough time to get the news and react accordingly;

They either filled the corridors on the city wall with all kinds of wood and stone to defend the city, or rushed to build sections of fortifications and fortifications in relatively spacious places, and even gave up some parts that were not conducive to holding on, and retreated to the inner city wall with a smaller and stronger defensive radius.

Fortunately, after the city of Youzhou was broken, the resistance and resistance we encountered were far from being comparable to those enemies we encountered in the city of Luodu, whether it was the will and determination to fight, or the specific level of training and combat experience, it was obviously a big difference.

In other words, although they have no courage to spare, they lack sufficient organizational efficiency and tactical coordination, and can only be defeated or defeated in the face of the firearms arrays that are ready for battle or just in time.

Advancing all the way to the inner city near the central axis and near the tooth city, the resistance encountered suddenly became fierce; Under the desperate obstruction and interception of the archers and soldiers who emerged one after another, the number of casualties after the Huai army entered the city suddenly exceeded three digits for the first time.

Behind this series of battlefield routines, there is also a new icing on the cake of good news; That is, the waterway and No. 6 road from Zhigu Village in Jizhou (near today's Tianjin) to Lucheng near Youzhou City have been basically cleaned up; This also means that this large army under my command will be directly supported and transported by sea from the sea, and even from the Bohai Rim states under the control of Huaizhen.

The other benefits and benefits that come with this are numerous; For example, more and more durable supply lines and campaign maintenance capabilities,

For another example, the Liaoxi Domain Army, which was originally responsible for containing and attacking the direction of Yingzhou, could completely transport and transport frogs to the mountain front area through Hai 6. Whether it is to support the battle that is taking place in Youzhou, or to attack and destroy the rear of Yingzhou, adopt a more flexible and mobile offensive and tactics, as well as the corresponding battlefield initiative.

。。。。。。。。。。

And in the inner city, which was temporarily isolated from the battlefield in the southwest of Youzhou City, there were also some people who gathered together privately despite the wartime prohibitions, and listened to an impassioned voice stating the interests and disadvantages.

"How long do you have to hesitate."

"Always wait and endure. I have to wait for what results to be willing to die.。。 ”

"Do we have to wait until we have nothing to rely on?"

"If you refuse to do it like this, once you can't do anything, Han Zhongyan, the mountain queen, will be gone."

"There are still Shunzhou and Shenzhou as a way out."

"But what shall we do for the generations whose inheritance and children are in front of the mountain?"

"Do you have to abandon everything and retreat and rely on the breath of others?"

"If we endure it any longer, we will really have nothing, and we will finish the ball with Han."

"Either they will be cut and divided up by a blunt knife, or they will be exhausted by the enemy on this wall."

"But, but, under the rule of Huaizhen, it's not so easy to think about."

Finally, someone stood up with some resentment and argued.

"How do you know that after you cast it, you will definitely be able to do well."

"I don't know where the princes and vassals of Anton are calling now?"

"The people of Huaizhen also have the ambition of tigers and wolves, and there are very few local big families and powerful people in the places they have passed."

"Can we continue to keep our parts and chassis after we cast them?"

At this point, the man's tone couldn't help but change a little warmly.

"To be able to be a rich man who has no power and no power to sit and eat empty mountains is blessed by God."

"At least after keeping this Youzhou City, that Han clan will have to rely on us to govern the place."

"Besides, only in this Youzhou City can the other party know how powerful we are. and even know that it is difficult to retreat"

"It will be better to negotiate the terms of peace talks in the future, right?"

His remarks suddenly attracted a chorus of echoes.

"What Zhu Gong said is very true."

"That's right."

"These words won my heart,

The person who spoke generously before couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and left without looking back; His name is Wang Yuan, the official worship of the West Mountain Road grain guard general and the deputy envoy of the inner city inspection, and he is also a relatively senior general;

Because most of his relatives who were older or older than him in his withered family had already died or disappeared, he inherited the remnants of the family's resources at a young age, and also took on the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the lintel.

And this is obviously a fruitless private meeting, and if you stay any longer to face these lucky and stubborn people, it is also the result of vain words and self-inflicted humiliation.

After all, the many generals of Pinglu Dao have already shown some signs of decay after being passed down from generation to generation; After so many things and chaos, those who are really enterprising or far-sighted have already withered on the battlefield.

The rest are the reluctant and the obedient, or the dull and conservative; This will give Han Zhongyan, who is not from the core of the four towns, the opportunity to break the convention of taking turns in each town and take power.

And most of the last generals represented by these people who have gathered now have shown some accumulation, or twilight tendencies; That's why after being swept away by Han Zhongyan for some reason, he basically lost his advocacy and joint force, and could only passively deal with the slaughter step by step.

Now, regardless of the situation that has been corrupted and perished, he still has all kinds of luck and rat thoughts, or daydreams that he can make a comeback in the future, no matter how hard he tries to entangle with them, it is only the result of the unspeakable ice of the summer worm.

And as someone said before, Huaizhen is because he has the ambition of a tiger and a wolf and has a great plan, so he implements that unique and fierce method for the place of conquest, so he doesn't mind the old days that they need to have reservations and borrowings under these traditional practices, and in the end, they are only afraid that this corner of Pinglu is no longer enough to meet their ambitions and ambitions;

This made him think of taking refuge and dedicating the city to the few people who tried to change the situation; The main hope is to be able to abandon and sacrifice everything in the past at the cost of breaking this situation and pattern that is already going downhill, and to get the opportunity to continue to seek fame and fortune in this emerging force and system.

After all, if this "Beiping Metropolitan Governor's Mansion" is true to its name, and it is intended to be a huge northern country, it also means that it also needs the investment and contribution of all kinds of people and people from all walks of life;

In contrast, continue to hold on to the few remaining rights and resources in some places, rather than actively plunge into the torrent of the times that may give birth to a new atmosphere; It's just a ridiculous result and expectation of a man who is blind and sits idly by.

Well, at least the scarcity is expensive, and he can also have fewer potential competitors are not; Although, the lack of these objects that could have been co-opted and connected as helpers makes the next action more difficult and dangerous; But it also made his contributions more strange and livable.

He could only comfort himself in this way, and had just turned into a small alley with the escorts, when he suddenly heard a large number of running sounds and shouts from the street in the distance.

And in the end, the direction they went to was the place where they had met before, which couldn't help but make him frightened and drenched in a cold sweat; This Han Shizi's movements are really fast, or is there someone among them secretly reporting the news? If he hadn't left the scene temporarily, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been spared.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, but he couldn't even go back to his own house and station, and even the hundreds of generals and troops he only controlled in his hands would become unreliable and secure.
