Chapter 429: Capture Chuzhou (Medium)
can become the commander of the 100,000 Vietnamese army in Chuzhou, although he has a blood relationship, Xiao Tong is definitely not a mediocre talent.
After venting his emotions, Xiao Tong quickly gathered the rout, and finally gathered more than 1,000 routs, the other routs didn't know where to run, Xiao Tong was not disappointed to the extreme, 50,000 Vietnamese troops were defeated, but he still had 50,000 horses in Chuzhou, as long as he Xiao Tong led the Vietnamese army to resist the attack of the Qin army in Chuzhou, no matter how big the loss of the Vietnamese army was, the court would not punish him much, and even reward him, Xiao Tong has confirmed that the strength of the Qin army is indeed extraordinary.
Chuzhou has a total of nine counties and 125 counties with a population of about 4.7 million, which is one of the more populous states in the Great Yue Empire.
Xiao Tong led more than 1,000 defeated troops to Chuzhou City, the center of Chuzhou, and on the way, Xiao Tong did not forget to collect the Vietnamese troops in the cities along the way.
Xiao Tong knew that his enemy was very strong, and it was difficult for the county seat and even the county town to resist the footsteps of the Qin army, so it was better to directly abandon the city in the south of Chuzhou, hit the main force of Chuzhou City, and use the tall and solid walls of Chuzhou City to resist the Qin army.
Not only that, Xiao Tong also sent people to all parts of Chuzhou, ordering them to quickly recruit troops, and at the same time Xiao Tong also sent a message to the major families in Chuzhou, he hoped that the major families in Chuzhou could support the official recruitment, and hoped that the major families could have more, once Chuzhou was captured by the Qin army, it would be bad for the major families.
In a short period of time, the news that the Qin army went out of the customs and invaded Chuzhou quickly spread throughout Chuzhou, and ordinary people didn't feel much, but the major families in Chuzhou reacted strongly, because according to Xiao Tong, this time the Qin army was to completely occupy Chuzhou, but to loot in Chuzhou and leave.
Almost every country in the land of Shenzhou is a union of interests of many families, with the imperial family having the most interests, and the remaining interests being divided by other families.
If the Great Qin Empire occupies Chuzhou, the interests of Chuzhou will be divided among the families of the Great Qin Empire, and unless the Chuzhou family defects to the Great Qin Empire, it will be possible to protect their own interests in Chuzhou.
In order to defeat the Qin army that invaded Chuzhou, the Chuzhou family decided to help Xiao Tong defeat the Qin army as much as possible.
With the help of the Chuzhou family, the Vietnamese army quickly recruited a large number of recruits, although the recruits did not have much combat effectiveness, but the tactics of the sea of people were also very useful, and the Qin army was directly killed by the number of people.
Obviously, Xiao Tong still didn't have a thorough understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, and he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, and at this time, Xiao Tong was about to be dizzy by the successive bad things.
Nearly half of the registered warriors of the Great Qin Empire Warrior Guild have been active in the Chuzhou area, assassinating officials, attacking and killing the Vietnamese army squad, in secret, the warriors of the Great Qin Empire have brought great trouble to Xiao Tong, and these warriors have also restrained a large number of troops in Xiao Tong's hands, but as Xiao Tong took the initiative to abandon the city in the south of Chuzhou and gather the Vietnamese army to Chuzhou City, this situation has been alleviated to a certain extent.
The manpower and material resources of the Chuzhou family are converging to Chuzhou City, and the recruits recruited from all over the country are also converging to Chuzhou City, but Wang Shuo led the black cavalry deep into Chuzhou and caused more damage to Chuzhou.
Wang Shuo also did not lead the black cavalry to attack the city, mainly to attack and kill the Vietnamese army or the material transport team.
The number of black cavalry led by Wang Shuo is not much, only 15,000 cavalry, looking at the enemy is not too much, Xiao Tong gathered tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops to destroy the black cavalry, but was defeated by the black cavalry in a battle, Xiao Tong fled back to Chuzhou City with the remnants of the army, and never dared to come out again, and then the black cavalry was crisscrossing the territory of Chuzhou, and no one could stop it.
The black cavalry is everywhere, and the ten infantry divisions of the Yue army are also being quickly recommended, knowing that the main force of the Vietnamese army is staying in Chuzhou City, and the ten infantry divisions of the Yue army are directly divided into ten roads, and they are quickly recommended, and the county towns with few defenders along the way are easily captured by the county towns by various infantry divisions.
There are also guys who want to take advantage of this war to rise, and recruit some militia villagers to defend a certain city, but they are annihilated in the artillery fire of the expeditionary army.
The enemy's main force is coming, but Xiao Tong suddenly feels that the possibility of being able to hold Chuzhou City is pitiful, Xiao Tong doesn't know how long he can hold Chuzhou City, and he asked the court for help early, hoping that the court's reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible.
On this side, the bigwigs in Jiyin City, the imperial capital of the Great Yue Empire, finally knew about Xiao Tong's defeat of the Qin army and the invasion of Chuzhou.
"Shhh How can it be? ”
In fact, the high-level of the Dayue Empire did not believe that the Qin army would invade Chuzhou so easily, and the big man had firmly believed that even if the Qin army attacked, Xiao Tong would lead 100,000 Vietnamese troops to block the Qin army in the pass, but now such an earth-shattering news suddenly appeared.
The top brass of the Great Yue Empire was a little panicked.
Many of the big names in Jiyin City know the character of Xiao Tong, Xiao Tong lost his face and asked the court for help, obviously the situation in Chuzhou has reached a very critical moment.
But now the internal strength of the Great Yue Empire is empty, and a million Vietnamese troops are attacking Anguo, and the remaining 700,000 Vietnamese troops, 100,000 are in Chuzhou, and most of the remaining are placed in the border areas of Yuewu and Yuetang.
It was too late to mobilize troops to support Chuzhou, and in desperation, Xiao Chong, the emperor of the Dayue Empire, could only recruit fifteen innate warriors, and then gather five hundred acquired warriors to form an elite warrior force to support Chuzhou, and the elite warrior troops marched far faster than most of the army.
Does the elite warrior unit have a big effect on Xiao Tong? Xiao Tong also didn't know that there were a lot of high-end forces in Chuzhou City Energy now, and the Chuzhou family sent some of the family's forces over in order to support Xiao Tong.
It's just that Xiao Tong thought of the first battle between himself and the Qin army, in that battle, Xiao Tong's 50,000 Vietnamese army plus himself also had three innate warriors, but now only Xiao Tong himself is alive, and the other two innate warriors are all dead in the terrifying sound and fire.
When did an innate martial artist die so easily? Is this still the world he knows?
Xiao Tong was on the verge of collapse.
On the sixth day of the first month of February, the army of the expedition to Vietnam approached the city of Chuzhou, and outside the city of Chuzhou, the muzzles of hundreds of artillery pieces were aimed at the city of Chuzhou, and more than 50,000 soldiers of the army of the expedition to Vietnam surrounded the city of Chuzhou.
In the face of this brutal battle that was about to break out, Xiao Tong had already made a lot of preparations, such as the Vietnamese soldiers to hide in the corner before the Qin army attacked the city, and for example, the Vietnamese army's familiarization with the scene of violent noises and sudden fires.
