"Captain Li...... Surrendered? ”

The military headquarters of Jizhou Prefecture from the officials to the soldiers couldn't help but be stunned, and there were many discussions. Later, after seeing Li Jiyuan, the governor of Cangzhou Prefecture, respectfully presenting the banner of the left to the generals of the Dao Xiaoguo Army, they realized that the 3,000 people on the left had really been lowered......

At this moment, the originally solemn military formation remembered all kinds of discussions, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers was gradually declining.

"General......

Sima Wei shook his head, interrupted the words of the military Cao beside him, and said in a deep voice: "The soldiers have too many scruples, their hometown is occupied, and the name of righteousness is ...... What's more, they prefer the Xiaoguo Army to occupy their hometown......"

"General, captains and lieutenants of all departments have come to ask for instructions, how to ......"

"Sue them, those who are willing to surrender surrender, those who are willing to fight to the death! And the people in the rear, let them surrender! Sima Wei said casually.

"General...... This ......" said in a trembling voice to the military Cao of the Governor's Mansion, Sima Wei's military order, the army is over. There are definitely not many who are left to fight to the death.

Sure enough, a moment after the military order was issued, the entire Jizhou Prefecture military formation began to riot and was disbanded. In the end, there were only more than 1,000 people left in the Chinese army, in addition to some of Sima Wei's cronies, and some of them were directly under the guards of the Governor's Mansion.

Of the 10,000-strong army, only one-tenth of the soldiers were willing to fight to the death......

"Beat the drums, prepare for battle! Let them know that my Jizhou government army is not a bad breed. ”

"Knock knock knock...... 1,000 people faced the army of 10,000 people, and brazenly beat the war drums. Luo Qi, the commander of the Xiaoguo Army, looked at it and couldn't help but admire.

"Drums! We give him the highest glory of the warrior......"

"Kill ......"

A small black river entered the raging sea of fire, and the result was self-evident. None of the 1,000 Jizhou troops survived, and all of them died in battle.

The war in Hengzhou Prefecture subsided, Youzhou and Jizhou were completely connected, connected together, and the land of the two states became a thoroughfare.

In the Youzhou War, the Eastern Three Prefectures were also not peaceful.

In June, it was no longer cold in the north, and the army of Su Mo Yan also began to move south, entering Liaozhou Mansion, and there was a great posture of a big battle with the Xiaoguo army.

In late June, I don't know if I got the news of the civil strife in Youzhou, and the army of Su Mo Jin attacked south and killed Andong City. And the Liao Tunnel City was also besieged by the Liaodong Kingdom.

Liaodong sent 80,000 troops, besieged the Liao Tunnel City, surrounded the Xiaoguo Army in the city, and had the posture of annihilating the Xiaoguo Army. And Su Mo Jin Yan sent an army of 50,000 and gathered more than 70,000 slave soldiers, besieging Andong City.

"Lord, news has come from Youzhou that the four prefectures of Jizhou have fallen into our hands, and all the Xindu Mansions have been captured by us, except for Xindu City." Situ Liang said with a smile, not at all anxious about being besieged by the Liaodong Kingdom and the Su Mo Yan Tribe.

"Fortunately, there were no accidents. But here in the East Three Mansions...... I didn't expect this Liaodong Kingdom and the Su Mo Yan Sect to make a move, it seems that I really thought that my Youzhou was in chaos! Zhao Xun said with a smile.

"Situ Liang, send out the news that the situation here is not good, and say that the imperial court and the Jizhou government army have taken action behind their backs, making the Xiaoguo army unfavorable! By the way, don't forget to reassure the people, but don't let the people panic. ”

"Don't worry, the people of Andong Mansion and Xiping Mansion are now Jedi who support the Lord with iron hearts. As long as Andong City is not lost, Xiping Mansion will be fine. Liao Tunnel City is not lost, and Andong Mansion is also fine. There are 50,000 defenders in each of the two cities, although half of them are people recruited from Youzhou, but at this moment, they are also a soldier. In addition, the Nufeng battalion and the Zuofu army also made the enemy army dare not attack our army's city lightly. Situ Liang said in a deep voice.

"Lord, isn't it time for us to expand our army! Now the battlefield is too large, and the existing troops can no longer meet our needs. ”

"How much do you think it's good to expand?"

"Youzhou has been greatly included in the population in recent years, and there are already nearly 5 million people, plus the people of the five prefectures of Jizhou, 6.5 million people are not a problem, or even more. Thirty to one, we can expand the army by more than 200,000 people. Situ Liang said slowly, his eyes were full of excitement.

Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, the army of the five prefectures will be expanded into ten prefectures, which are the first to the tenth prefectures. The three eastern prefectures had three mansion soldiers, and then expanded the two prefectures from Yanzhou Mansion and Shunzhou Mansion. The southern part of Youzhou and the northern part of Jizhou are expanding the three prefectures. A total of 10 soldiers, a total of 200,000. The missing war horses were purchased from the Khitan Sanbu, and they did not dare to disobey. ”

"Lord, what should the Wudu Cavalry do? Is there any change in keeping them in Youzhou this time? Although Situ Liang knew that the turmoil in Youzhou had been completed as planned, he didn't know the details.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "These five capital cavalry are quite obedient this time, although someone found them, they did not make any changes, but reported the situation to the security department, and this cavalry will also expand in the future." Wouldn't it be better to let the Tartar cavalry attack their own tribe? Besides, there are many barbarian races in the north, and it is very good to use one of them to attack the other and consume each other. ”

According to the arrangement of the army expansion plan, Li Chenfeng's left army from the outside is the first government, the right army stationed in Liao Tunnel City, the second government of Xue Lei, and the fifth government of Bao Muyang in the Houfu army stationed in Andong Mansion with Zhao Xun. The front and rear prefectures are the third and fourth prefectures respectively.

In the afternoon, the sun is high! The Millet Sect once again launched a siege. I have to say that Andong City, which was originally a fortified city in the past, has been expanded by the Su Mo Jing Division, and the Achilles tendon is even easier to defend and difficult to attack. Otherwise, Zhao Xun would not have forced Ajili to surrender.

Outside the city, there are more than 20,000 Su Mo Yan troops stationed at the north gate and the west gate respectively. At this moment, the front army of the Yan Yan Army lined up in a line, forming a complete array. The front shield bearer, followed by the spearman, then the axeman, and then the archer. On either side were five thousand cavalry, guarding the two wings.

Behind the battle, there were dozens of trebuchets brought from Liaozhou Mansion. At the back, there are hundreds of ladders. In the past five days, the leader of the Su Mo Ya tribe, who is also the self-proclaimed king of the Su Mo Ya tribe, Qi Yuanyi, personally commanded the army to attack the city, but the result was very unsatisfactory, and he was stunned to lose more than 5,000 soldiers and nearly 10,000 slaves, and he failed to attack the city wall. Today, the trebuchet from Liaozhou Mansion has also arrived, and Qi Yuanyi wants to do it again.

"King, take the city!" A fierce-looking general raised yì beside the beggar for help. In his opinion, if there is no city that the Su Mo Yan Department can't attack, how about the Eastern Three Mansions? Not more than the tribe occupied. It was only because of the cold weather in winter that this Xiaoguo army raided and took the land of the two prefectures.

All the trees around Andong City have been cut down, so that they cannot be used as raw materials for the Ya army to make siege equipment, and it can also allow the defenders to see the enemy's arrangements. Not only that, but the original moat was re-excavated to make it wider.

Outside the moat, Zhao Xun used the heavy battalion of the Jin army and the people in the city to dig several trenches, and planted antlers in the open space within 500 steps in front of the city wall. It is to sharpen the two ends of the arm-thick wooden stakes, one end into the ground forty or fifty centimeters, and the other end is also sharpened to expose the ground about forty centimeters, these stakes are buried in all the open space under the city wall, dense, disordered, not only can effectively contain the infantry siege, but also can have a greater limit on the impact of the cavalry, so as to suppress the danger of the cavalry of the army to the defenders.

If the Guards want to get close to the city wall, they can only remove these antlers little by little, and the defenders can naturally rely on the city wall to use bows and arrows, crossbows and other crossbows to kill and injure the Warrior Army in large quantities.

During the first five days of siege, most of the slave soldiers of the Tatar army were used to clear the antlers under the walls. What made Zhao Xun have a great intention to kill the Su Mo Yan tribe was that most of these slave soldiers were Han Chinese from Liaozhou Prefecture.

For this reason, Zhao Xun pulled all the landlords and nobles in Andong City to the city wall and chopped them up in front of the begging for help.

In the past five days, in addition to the antlers, even the moat has been filled in several passages by the lives of the Antler army. For this reason, the Yan Ya army lost more than 15,000 people, but the Xiaoguo soldiers in the city suffered few casualties. There was a regular army in the city and a garrison of 20,000 people. At the same time, there are more than 10,000 security forces formed by Han people in the city to maintain law and order in the city.

Zhao Xun and Situ Liang both stood on the city wall, looking at the Su Mo Yan army outside the city.

There were still some low stakes on the ground in front of me, some bones in the moat, and the ground under the city walls were still oozing red and black......

"My lord! The offensive of the Tatar army has begun! Bao Muyang said in a deep voice. Since learning that the imperial court has been in the hands of black hands from behind, there have been some people's instigation, so that the main generals have called General Zhao Xun the main prince, and the imperial army has become the private army of the Zhao family, a complete private army......

Zhao Xun smiled faintly. With Bao Muyang's voice, sure enough, in the sound of drums and horns over and over again, the siege troops of the Yan Yan army finally began to attack.

The first to appear is naturally the strength of the Shen Yan army, and it is also necessary for the siege of the city, the longbowmen of the several phalanxes, marching towards the north city with neat steps, the number of more than 10,000, accounting for almost half of the north city.

"Raise your shield! Defense! Under Zhao Xun's instructions, Bao Muyang issued a military order.

Behind the female wall of the "boom boom ......boom" city wall, one by one large shields were erected under the order of the officer.

Outside the city, under the command of the generals of each array, all the archers opened their bows and arrows, and the sound of pulling the bowstring came, and only a few majestic voices were heard shouting: "Release!" ”

A whistling sound came, and 10,000 archers released arrows together, and under Zhao Xun's gaze, these more than 10,000 arrows suddenly darkened the sky. Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of sound of breaking the air, and ten thousand arrow feathers went straight to the north city.

In fact, at this time, there are not many people who stick behind the city wall, and most of them hide under the corner tower or city wall, and do not return to the city until the official siege of the city begins. Therefore, half of Heiyun's arrows were actually only aimed at a row of Xiaoguo troops holding giant shields, and they couldn't bring heavy casualties at all. Perhaps this is also the reason why the tribes of the Yan Dynasty are not good at attacking the city, in their opinion, the siege is to take advantage of the other party's lack of attention, rush in, and the enemy will be scattered, and this is how the Eastern Three Prefectures were occupied.

But the current Xiaoguo Army is obviously not as weak as they imagined. As a result, the army was lost, and the trebuchet left over from the Liaodong Yan army had to be transported from Liaozhou Mansion.

"Knock ......"

A huge stone projectile appeared in Zhao Xun's field of vision, smashed down on the city wall, and the shattered ones flew in all directions at any time, and several soldiers were immediately injured by the flying rubble.

The trebuchets of the Yak army outside the city were in full swing.

"Knock...... Knock ......"

Immediately afterward, dozens of stone projectiles flew on the city wall, and dozens of them landed outside the city wall or smashed on the city wall. Although there were only a dozen stone bullets, it brought huge psychological pressure to the soldiers. The soldiers are a little flustered.

"Bao Muyang, let's launch our trebuchet! Smash the other party's trebuchet for me! Zhao Xun shouted.

Immediately, the trebuchet on the city wall was also adjusting its bearing.

Dozens of stone bullets flew out from the wall of the "Launch ......" and flew towards the army formation.

Only four or five of the dozens of stone shells of the "Boom ......" hit the target, smashing five or six trebuchets of the Tartar Army.

"Come again!" The one who controls the trebuchet is the old pawn of Youzhou, but the soldier who is in charge of the trebuchet is good at this.

"Boom ......" A stone projectile of the Yak army landed next to the trebuchet on the city wall.

"Look, the bastards of the Evil Army won't make good use of this at all. Brethren, knock them all to pieces this time! ”

"Launch ......"

"Boom ......"

Half of the dozens of stone bullets smashed into the catapults of the Yak army, and only four or five of the thirty or forty trebuchets were smashed.
