Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. This is to describe the individual, but for the major events related to the people of the entire city, it is natural that they will not go out. In a short time, the content of the proclamations around the four city gates had soon spread to the ears of the people in the city, and many bold people had begun to cheer.

For the Xiaoguo Army, many people, especially merchants and those who have communicated with merchants, know more clearly. Moreover, a series of benefits such as good life, low taxes, and land division in the Xiaoguo military area are still spread in all parts of the world. Therefore, after this notice was posted, the people of the city were overjoyed, but there was not much fear.

The people in the city soon discovered that none of the soldiers and soldiers of the northern part of the state who were originally patrolling were now invisible, and the arrogant house slaves of those big clans in the city rarely appeared in front of people now. The mansions of many big clan gentry have been sealed by the Xiaoguo army in this city, which makes those people who are dissatisfied with the black-hearted big gentry in the city even more secretly happy in their hearts.

The two large camps in the east and west of the city, in the past, there would be a little drill here in the morning, although the northern army of Bingzhou bullied the weak and feared the hard, and did not dare to fight against the Turks, but it did not mean that the northern army of Bingzhou would not work. Half of the Northern Army under Cao Gang was still from the same source as the Longxiang Army under the command of Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou, but the commander above made peace with the Turks, and the soldiers below naturally did not dare to disagree.

Therefore, the daily training is still carried out normally, although the effect is not comparable with the Longxiang army of the previous border army, but it is still daily training, and the sound spreads half of the city, but this morning the sun has hung in the air, but the camp is still quiet. It was as if all the soldiers were still asleep last night, and occasionally there were one or two groups of soldiers, but they were all soldiers in Xiaoguo Army.

Of course, there are no soldiers in the barracks, but after last night's operation, in addition to the 3,000 Xiaoguo troops in each of the two camps, there are also 1,000 northern troops and more than 1,500 private members of the gentry of the big clans. At this time, the captain of the Xiaoguo Army was busy reorganizing these soldiers in the city.

For the Xiaoguo Army, the northern parts of the state are already in their own pockets. Since it has been defeated, it can't be ignored, for these unstable factors, the Xiaoguo Army is definitely quick to cut through the mess and deal with it first.

The Northern Army of Bingzhou was originally a mixture of the government army of Youlong Xiangwei and the land of Bingzhou, and it was a border army in the northern part of Bingzhou. As for combat effectiveness, it is needless to say. However, since the disputes between the major forces in the Central Plains and Situ Lei sent Situ Jian to take over the military power of the state, this Cao Gang's command has long been very different from before.

Cao Gang, who was born as a military general, knows very well the reason why he can have his current status, he has soldiers in his hands, he is the general of Zhenbei in the north of Weizhen and the state, if there are no soldiers, he is nothing. Especially in these troubled times, he can see it more clearly than he can say. He saw the rise of the Xiaoguo Army step by step, and naturally he was unwilling to hand over the military power in his hands to Situ Jian, the deputy governor of Bingzhou sent by Situ Lei. Situ Jian couldn't help Cao Gang for a while, but he also stopped the supply of grain, grass, baggage, and money, that is, armor and equipment, and did not continue to provide them to the north.

This was a big blow to Cao Gang, but Cao Gang still did not give in, and after integrating the soldiers and horses in his hands, he cleaned up all the people sent by the imperial court, and put all his cronies in the position of leading the troops of various ministries, making these more than 100,000 soldiers his personal soldiers. In order to raise grain and grass, in order to feed the army, he began to trade with the Turks in various ways, without any taboos.

Although Cao Gangtong guò fed more than 100,000 soldiers by this method, the people under his rule suffered. I don't know how many people died tragically at the hands of the Turks, and how many people were taken captive by the Turks, becoming slaves and bones on the steppe. Because of this, many soldiers were dissatisfied with Cao Gang. Therefore, this operation to collect the soldiers was still very well carried out. In addition, the treatment of Xiaoguo's soldiers is very good, and there is no objection to these soldiers.

Therefore, when the Second Town Army of the Young Guards arrived two days later to escort the civilian officials, many places in the Daizhou Capital had completely stabilized, and what they needed to do was not to stabilize the place, but to be responsible for distributing the fields and relocating the more than 200,000 people who were rescued by the Xiaoguo Army.

After dealing with the defenders in the city, the trained young men in the city were also unified and reorganized. Of course, the Xiaoguo Army does not need these young men to become Xiaoguo soldiers, but they don't want these young men to be induced in the city and cause any trouble.

After solving the security problems in the city, the Xiaoguo army infantry left 5,000 defenders, and then left Qiangyang County with 5,000 soldiers, a total of 15,000 troops, and headed south, preparing to carry out operations against other cities.

Overnight, Xiaoguo's soldiers divided into more than ten routes and raided the entire Daizhou capital. I have to say that because this is the northern part of Bingzhou and borders the Turks, Cao Gang did not leave too many garrisons in the counties. Of course, he couldn't afford to raise so many troops. Although there are young and strong, they are only used to defend the city in wartime. In addition, he appeared as a Turk, so all but four of the nine counties and fifteen cities of Daizhou were taken.

Except for the two cities of Daizhou County, the seat of the Daizhou Mansion, which are the base camp of the Daizhou Mansion because of the large number of defenders, although the other two cities were found to be abnormal, they still attacked the city gate at the moment when the army of Xiaoguo Army deceived them. It can be said that the entire Daizhou Mansion was taken by the Xiaoguo Army in one day. Among them, the Turks are the greatest contributors. This is also the price that Cao Gang paid for succumbing to the Turks, otherwise, when the Turks entered the city, the guards of the city would not even dare to ask?

After all, Daizhou Mansion is a place of a government, although there are not many defenders in each county, but in this Daizhou County, there are more than 10,000 soldiers. This is also to prevent problems with the Daizhou Capital, after all, no matter how close Cao Gang is to the Turks, he also knows that the Daizhou Capital is still his jurisdiction.

After Li Chenfeng decided to take action, he knew the actual situation in various parts of the Daizhou Capital. In addition to asking from the Turkic captives, the spies of the Xiaoguo army have long been densely packed and annexed to the state is also an important reason. Therefore, in this land of two cities in the prefecture and county, Li Chenfeng personally brought 5,000 cavalry to take it. Of course, after that, there were 20,000 foot soldiers.

The two cities of Daizhou County are separated by more than 30 miles. Daizhou City is the seat of Daizhou Mansion, and Ningshan City, another city, is the grain and grass of Daizhou Mansion, located in the south of Daizhou City. Because Ningshan City was built on the mountain, there were not too many people in the city, so there were only 3,000 defenders here. Because on the inside line, no one will arrive lightly on weekdays, so it is safe and sound.

In this Li Chenfeng operation, the cavalry in the front were hindered in these two places, and the defenders in the city did not let them enter the city at all, but asked their army commander and number number, and even had to take action orders. In this way, the Xiaoguo army pretending to be a Turkic army was stumped at once. Soon, the other party noticed the anomaly, saw through the fake Turkic army in the Shadow Lands, and issued a warning to call the defenders to defend the city. In desperation, the cavalry had no choice but to retreat.

On the second day, he inquired about the surrounding people, and Li Chenfeng knew that the general of the garrison in the city was Li Shouming, who was the general of Wu Benlang, who was in charge of the military affairs of the state government. This person was born in the Long Xiang Army and is a talent. It is also because of him that the training in the counties of Daizhou has never stopped for various reasons. It is also because of him that all counties have more or less trained young and strong soldiers, who are reserve soldiers and horses for the defenders. However, under Cao Gang's military orders, the defending officers of the counties did not dare to offend the Turks, resulting in the fall of the counties one by one.

Regarding the sudden attack of enemy troops outside the city, Li Shouming, who was defending the city, was also extremely puzzled and did not understand where the other party came from. Later, after seeing the other party undisguise the Turks, the banner was unfurled and it was understood that the other party was the Xiaoguo army from the east. Although he admires and respects Xiaoguojun very much, it does not mean that he is willing to give in to the other party. Therefore, Li Shouming did not hesitate to refuse the persuasion outside the city. Of course, he didn't know what the current offensive of the Xiaoguo Army was, and why it appeared in the territory of Daizhou Capital? Even he didn't know much about the situation in the other counties, because the spies they sent out were all attacked and killed by the other party's cavalry.

Five thousand cavalry did not force the siege because they were cavalry, and also because they did not have siege equipment in their hands. And the foot soldiers will not be able to arrive for a while and a half, so Li Chenfeng is ready to transfer the defenders in the city out of the city to act again.

There were no cavalry in the northern army of Bingzhou, not because they didn't have war horses, but because they couldn't afford to raise them. After cutting off the support of the imperial court, Cao Gang unified the only cavalry under his direct jurisdiction, so there was no cavalry formation for the garrison army guarding the city in this place. Because of this, the defenders of the city knew nothing about the situation outside the city. It can be said that although the Xiaoguo army did not besiege the city, they had cut off contact with the outside world.

The Xiaoguo army cavalry cut off the connection between Daizhou and the outside world, and then pretended to attack Ningshan City in the south, because the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army outside the city was exploring and riding, so Li Shouming couldn't figure out whether the Xiaoguo Army outside the city really went to attack Ningshan City, and whether the counties outside the city had found out that there was a Xiaoguo army entering the city.

Although with the addition of Qingzhuang, there are now twenty or thirty thousand defenders in the city, but on the third day, he also saw more than 10,000 foot soldiers of the Xiaoguo army outside the city. As time passed, Li Shouming finally couldn't sit still, although he had full confidence to hold Daizhou City, he was extremely worried about Ningshan City, which had fewer troops. Although Ningshan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, after all, there are too few defenders. In addition, after getting close to the Turks, the combat readiness of the northern army of Bingzhou was also relaxed. In Ningshan City, but without the help of Qingzhuang, one person was killed, and there was one less.

Ningshan City, as the logistics center of the Daizhou capital, is the key point of the land. The northern army of the state traded with the Turks, obtained profits, bought grain from all over the country, and stored the grain and grass of the state capital on weekdays. If it is captured, the entire territory of Daizhou Capital will be finished, and the military rations of each county will definitely not exceed all that lasts for a month. Of course, he didn't know that the Daizhou Mansion had already fallen. The key reason why the grain and grass baggage of the Daizhou Mansion was not placed here was because there were often Turkic troops stationed here, and neither Cao Gang nor Li Shouming wanted the grain and grass they had worked so hard to get would end up in the hands of the Turks.

On the afternoon of the third day, Daizhou City received a distress letter from the defenders of Ningshan City, and Li Shouming could no longer calm down, so he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Xiaoguo army outside the city, and personally commanded 5,000 soldiers and 5,000 young and strong new soldiers, and went south, preparing to support Ningshan City. Speaking of which, Ningshan City is more important than Daizhou City in a certain way.

After the defenders in the city left the city, the Xiaoguo army outside the city naturally got the news, and then spread it to all departments. Between Daizhou City and Ningshan City, nearly twenty miles away from Daizhou City, there is a mountain range, Crouching Tiger Collar. It's not dangerous, but it's the way to go. Here, Li Chenfeng had already placed the 10,000 foot soldiers and 5,000 cavalry who had not yet appeared here. As for Ningshan City, except for a large-scale demonstration, it did not forcibly attack the city. However, the appearance of the earth-shattering thunder also made the officers of the defenders of Ningshan City hurriedly ask Li Shouming for help.

Not long after Li Shouming left the city, the Xiaoguo army outside the city suddenly changed its previous attitude, no longer besieging but not attacking, but besieging the city. More than 10,000 troops marched up, and in an instant, the entire Daizhou City was shouting and killing. At the same time, some spies and internal agents placed in the city also began to stir up anger in the city to respond to the army of Xiaoguo outside the city.

The commander of the city left, half of the defenders were transferred, and there were problems everywhere in the city, and the defenders were quickly defeated and retreated amid the shouts and persuasions of the Xiaoguo army. Half an hour later, at the cost of 3,000 casualties, the Xiaoguo army took Daizhou City, the seat of Daizhou Prefecture.

The summer days are very long, and the journey of more than ten miles is quickly passed in the case of a hurry. Because he was concerned about the situation in Ningshan City, Li Shouming didn't care about anything else. But almost as soon as he led the army to the foot of the Crouching Tiger Mountain, Li Shouming's front army had just arrived at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly there was a burst of smoke and dust in front of him, and the ground trembled slightly. He was born in the army, and as soon as he heard the voice, he knew that it was not good, "Enemy attack!" Defend against the enemy, hurry! ”

Although Li Shouming reacted quickly, how could the marching army line up so quickly. If they are all elite veterans, the soldiers of a hundred battles are still successful, but half of the 10,000-strong army here is a soldier and half is a young man. Even among the soldiers, only half of them can be counted as old soldiers, and the rest are just reorganized from the original government army. Since Cao Gang made peace with the Turks, these soldiers had little experience of bloody battles. Faced with such a situation, the army immediately became a little chaotic and chaotic, delaying the formation of the shield array.

"Cavalry! Damn, they're not in Ningshan City! Seeing that the front of the other party was a cavalry, Li Shouming scolded secretly, but at this moment, his subordinates were just barely forming a defensive formation in front, but the other party had already killed him.

The five thousand cavalry were the vanguard, like an arrow off the string, and like a huge wave like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, the gold slammed down on the shore. With a bang, the spear in front of the cavalry was like a sharp lightning, and it cut an afterimage in mid-air, splitting several thick wooden cowhide shields in half almost instantly, and even the arms of the soldiers with several giant shields were cut by the sharp spears A few inches long. The blood was dripping and dripping, but before the soldiers could shout, the next moment their eyes bulged violently, and they were swept into it by the surging torrent of cavalry.

Li Shouming's subordinates are all foot soldiers, and after a long long journey, the new army has long been exhausted, how can it be the opponent of this cavalry who is waiting for work? In addition, there was no heavy infantry, and the light infantry could not block the impact of the cavalry at all in the face of the surging cavalry charge, and the two hastily established defense lines were torn apart in an instant.

Li Shouming could only grit his teeth and lead his soldiers to face the battle, but after killing 5,000 foot soldiers on each side of the opponent, the 10,000 soldiers in his hands seemed so small at the moment. Li Shouming really deserves to be from the Longxiang Army of the former border army, and his martial arts are indeed extraordinary, and he killed several cavalrymen of the Xiaoguo Army in a row. However, under the siege of succession, under the surprise attack of arrows, he was still seriously wounded, paralyzed on horseback, and retreated under the escort of his own guards.

The army of Xiaoguo Army seemed to be like a tiger descending from the mountain, invincible, especially after Li Shouming was injured and retreated, and the Northern Army of Bingzhou suddenly lost its morale. Although the Northern Army of Bingzhou continued to form a defensive line in the rear many times under the orders of officers and drinkers, under the iron cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army, it was like a sharp knife being torn apart, and the shaky defensive line was broken down. The Northern Army of Bingzhou, which was caught off guard at the beginning, gradually fell into a disadvantage in the face of the Xiaoguo Army that had won a big victory in morale, and was beaten without the strength to fight back.

"Fight back! Don't run, give me a formation, a formation! Li Shouming had several arrows stuck in his body, and he was stabbed in the arm and shoulder, but he still roared loudly. At this moment, his eyes were red and he was panting. The situation in front of him was not what he wanted. These 10,000 soldiers were surrounded and killed by the Xiaoguo Army in front of his eyes, how could he be willing......

"General, let's withdraw, now it seems that we are in a scheme. Regardless of whether Ningshan City is taken by the Xiaoguo Army or not, we can't continue to fight. 10,000 soldiers, now there are not even half of them. General, if you don't return to Daiju City, then we will have nothing. Li Shouming was also ready to continue to organize his subordinates to fight back, but the officers around him were eager to dissuade him.

Li Shouming looked at the situation in front of him that had already appeared in defeat, and sighed in his heart and said: "Withdraw, how much can be withdrawn!" We returned to Daizhou City and waited for reinforcements from all over the country to arrive. On the other day, I will definitely make this Xiaoguo army and thieves who enter the territory of our state look good. ”
