Tens of thousands of troops began to assemble in the direction of Chang'an, and the young and strong men of Lianghe were also mobilized to prepare for the operation of grain and grass.

Except for a few resourceful strategists, the whole of the Great Zhou Kingdom thought that their king of Zhou would lead their undefeated army to attack the Sui Dynasty in three ways and destroy Cao Cao.

Zhou Guo made such a big move, and soon made a detailed work and sent the information to Chang'an.

Cao Cao immediately became nervous, and although he had doubts about Zhang Yuan's real goal, he did not dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly transferred heavy troops to the front line of Wuguan, Tongguan and Pubanjin, and put on a posture of refusal.

As for Han Sui of Fujian, the heavy troops stationed in Xiangyang did not cross the Han River and entered the front line of Yuyang Xinye, obviously Han Sui and his ministers thought that Zhang Yuan really wanted to kill Zhao and destroy Li.

After receiving the information from the Fujian side, Zhang Yuan smiled, he knew that the strategy that Li Si offered to him to attack the west had worked.

Time passed day by day, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been assembled, in the middle of summer, the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, personally led the 50,000 elite infantry army, with the confidence of victory, the mighty from Chang'an down, into the Chang'an line, and Zu Di rendezvous.

In order to protect the smooth implementation of the reform and prevent the Shi clan from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, in addition to the army guarding the border of the four directions, Zhang Yuan also left nearly 50,000 troops in the country to guard the interior.

The army was stationed in Chang'an from Chang'an, and Zhang Yuan appointed Zhang Xutuo as the vanguard, and went north from Chang'an, posing to march to Wuguan.

Under the cover of this illusion, Zhang Yuan suddenly showed his hideous true face, and after the army went north from Chang'an, under the cover of night, he suddenly changed its route to the south and went straight to Yuyang City, the northern gateway of Fujian.

Yuyang City. `

On the road to Xiangyang, Han Sui built three strong cities, Yuyang, Xinye and Fancheng, which is the gateway to Xiangyang.

At this moment, the entire Yuyang City was shrouded in the sound of the sky collapsing and the earth cracking.

In the sky, stone bullets flew wildly, and arrows rained down endlessly, endlessly shooting towards the main city of Yuyang City, and the Min army in the city could only huddle under the female wall tremblingly, bearing this terrifying attack.

Through the crack in the shield, Wen Xuan looked at the boundless tide of Zhou troops outside the city, and Wen Xuan suddenly realized that he and his Min King Han Sui had all made mistakes.

The Zhou army was just under the guise of attacking the Sui Dynasty, and they were magnificently increasing troops to Yuyang City, but the real purpose was to attack their Fujian State.

They fell for Zhang Yuan's plan to attack the west!

The messenger for help sent to Xiangyang was still on the road at the moment, and Wen Xuan estimated that Han Sui would take at least eight days to help from learning of the emergency report, to gathering troops and horses, and then crossing the Han River, and rushing to Yuyang City to support.

This means that he must rely on 4,000 soldiers and horses in his hands to withstand the onslaught of 50,000 Zhou troops and hold on to Yuyang.

What makes Wen Xuan a headache is that he has only completed half of the reinforcement project of Yuyang, and nearly half of the city wall has not been reinforced.

At this time, Zhang Yuan suddenly led the army to kill, and Wen Xuan was indeed not completely sure whether he could hold Yuyang for ten days.

Despite this, Wen Xuan still ordered to hold on to the city and not retreat.

The reason is very simple, Yuyang City is the gateway to Liangzhou, once the city falls, Zhang Yuan's army can drive south, grab the help of Han Sui's army, take Xinye in one go, capture Fancheng, and drink Ma Han water.

At that time, Xiangyang was in danger.

Xiangyang is in danger, and Fujian is not far from extinction.

Therefore, Wen Xuan did not dare to take this risk, he had to hold on, even if he couldn't wait for Han Sui's reinforcements to arrive, at least he had to defend the second line of defense until Han Sui's reinforcements were stationed in Xinye.

If Wen Xuan wants to stick to Yuyang, it depends on whether Zhang Yuan gives him this opportunity.

Zhang Yuan used Li Si's strategy to act for a long time, just to kill Wen Xuan by surprise, and now the Fujian army in the city is only 4,000, how can Zhang Yuan take it seriously. `

At that moment, Zhang Yuan issued a royal order, and the whole army of 50,000 attacked and razed Yuyang City to the ground.

Zu Di, Du Pre and other generals led all the troops and horses to attack the defense line of Yuyang City, which was intertwined with ditches and mountains.

The solidity of Yuyang City's defense line is really powerful, although it has only been repaired by less than half, it is also quite strong.

If Wenxuan has enough soldiers and horses, Zhang Yuan wants to break Yuyang with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and he really doesn't have that certainty.

It's a pity that there are only 4,000 soldiers and horses among the literary players.

The Fujian army had few soldiers and could not withstand the attack of the Zhou army on all fronts, and the fortifications on the periphery were soon broken through everywhere, and the earth mountains were destroyed. One after another the trenches were filled, and the Zhou army attacked the main city of Yuyang in less than half a day.

In the afternoon, Wen Xuan's face was as gloomy as iron, and he stood at the head of the city with a knife, and could only watch in the distance, and the Zhou army slowly dragged hundreds of heavenly thunder cars to the front of the city.

In the north direction of the city, the 50,000 Zhou troops have completed the formation, and the battle flag covers the sky and the sun, and the momentum is monstrous.

Before the military formation, nearly 500 heavenly thunder cannons had been erected, and more heavenly thunder cannons were still being transported.

Zhang Yuan had already seen that the city wall in the northwest of Yuyang had not yet been thickened and reinforced, and he was determined to use 600 heavenly thunder cannons to bombard at the same time, so that the Fujian army could enjoy it.

Looking at the dense heavenly thunder cannons, the Fujian army at the head of the city was all trembling, and they couldn't even hold the weapons in their hands, so they looked panicked and confused.

Deputy General Wang Wei couldn't help but persuade: "General Wen, the number of the Zhou army is ten times that of our army, and there is such a terrifying siege weapon as the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, I am afraid that we will not be able to withstand it. ”

"No!" Wen Xuan vetoed, and said in a deep voice: "Now abandon Yuyang, even if we withdraw to Xinye, the king's reinforcements will definitely not have arrived, and then the Zhou army will follow and chase after us, what will we use to defend Xinye?" ”

In the face of Wen Xuan's rhetorical question, Wang Wei was silently speechless, he was naturally very clear about Fujian, how important Yuyang City was to the Fujian army.

"This Yuyang City is related to the life and death of my Damin, if you can't keep it, you have to keep it, pass on the order, whoever dares to take a step back without permission will be killed!" Wen Xuan resolutely shouted. `

Wang Wei's body was shocked, fear flashed in his eyes, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

When the order was passed down, Wen Xuan's eyes shot to the north, gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "Zhang Yuan, even if this Yuyang City is not thickened, it is also a strong city, I don't believe it, your thunder cannon that day is really as powerful as the legend, it can blast through my city wall!" ”

The arrogant and resolute anthology conveyed his determination to the troops at the head of Yuyang City, and personally walked along the city to encourage the morale of the Fujian army.

The anthology is full of fighting spirit, but unfortunately the morale of the Fujian army is not so good to inspire.

Zhang Yuan defeated Yuan Shao, killed Yuan Shang, repelled the joint attack of the princes of the Five Routes, and his reputation was powerful in the world, and in the eyes of the Min army, he seemed to be like a demon god.
