Nandu.

On the Golden Palace, Hu Ling no longer has the heart to go through the snow, and now every few hours, there are soldiers who come to report, saying where Sun Yu is, or which cities have been captured, etc., anyway, it is all bad information, which makes people upset.

"Newspaper... Your Majesty.... ”

Suddenly, another soldier broke into the Golden Temple.

When Hu Ling saw it, he immediately displeased: "What's the matter?" Where is Sun Yu? ”

When the person came, he panicked: "Your Majesty, just now the Qingyuan defenders came to report, Wang Xu ordered Zheng Feng to be in command, and there are 300,000 troops of the Holy Dynasty marching towards Qingyuan County, and in a few days, they will arrive, and ask Your Majesty for reinforcements." ”

"Reinforcements? What reinforcements do I get? ”

Hu Ling was instantly furious: "Go and pass the decree again, let Gao Quan return to the court quickly." ”

"Yes."

After the soldiers left, Hu Ling came to the position and sat down, at this time, a man in black flashed out from behind the screen: "Your Majesty..." ”

"What are you doing out there?"

The man in black said: "Your Majesty, this high power refuses to return to the court, with our strength, it is difficult to defeat Sun Yu's army." ”

"How could I not know?"

Hu Lingdao: "You said a few days ago that I should beware of Gao Quan, and let me design to transfer him to attack the Eastern Capital, and then completely control Nanjun and Qingyuan County, but... It's okay now, I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven, Gao Quan didn't go to Dongjun, but fought Wu County, and now Wang Xu is angry, and the catastrophe is coming, the catastrophe is coming. ”

"It's not necessarily a catastrophe to come."

The man in black smiled: "Your Majesty, please imagine, Gao Quan only took away 200,000 people, and we still have 400,000 garrisons in Nandu and 200,000 in Qingyuan County, a total of 600,000, which is comparable to Sun Yu's strength, why can't we fight?" My southern capital is the country of abundance, and it has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, and it is not so easy for Sun Yu to attack it. ”

"That's right."

Hu Ling opened the map: "Take a look." With so many city passes, if all of them are stationed in the city, Sun Yu will have to attack until what year and month, hum. Just fight him. ”

He Yiren hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the little one has a suggestion, but he is a little afraid to say it." ”

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say it."

Hu Ling waved his hand.

The man in black said: "Your Majesty, Wang Xu asked Zheng Feng to lead a total of 300,000 troops from the headquarters of the New Fourth Army. The defenders of Qingyuan County can't hold it, and His Majesty doesn't want to send reinforcements, so why not... Why don't you abandon Qingyuan County, let the 200,000 troops retreat to Nanping Pass, and defend Nanping Pass, one can transfer troops back at any time, and the other can consolidate our strength, Your Majesty.... ”

"Good, good strategy."

Hu Ling said with a smile: "There is a saying in the world, it is said that there is a gift to gain." That Qingyuan County is indeed tempting, but compared to the southern capital, it is far behind, and the capital is still important. ”

"You are better than Gao Quan, that Gao Quan always does not respect the Holy Order, hmph, when he comes back, I will definitely do it again."

"Your Majesty has praised it."

The man in black smiled.

.........

Zheng Feng led his army to Qingyuan County half a month later, but what he didn't expect was this. The building is empty, and the huge Qingyuan County has not even a single enemy army, and there are no county soldiers in the small county seat. It's all gone.

Not only were there no enemy soldiers, but there were also no food, gold, silver, weapons, and so on, as long as they were useful for the war.

Zheng Feng got the news that the enemy had retreated two days earlier, and all of them had fled to the southern capital. Before leaving, he ransacked Qingyuan County again, and took away all the resources that could be taken away.

Zheng Feng was both happy and a little angry in his heart, Hu Ling's move naturally strengthened his own strength, but it made the people of Qingyuan County suffer, this place has been run by Zheng Feng for several years, and it has just recovered, but now...

"Well, it's finally back, it's not bad..."

Zheng Feng took a deep breath and finally accepted this reality.

"General, will we be stationed in Qingyuan now?"

"Of course."

Zheng Feng said: "Your Majesty asked Ben General to take back Qingyuan County, and now that it has been done, you will go back to the imperial capital now to report and ask Your Majesty what to do next, whether to continue to attack the southern capital in the south." ”

"No."

There are more than 30 counties in Qingyuan County, and now all the people are empty, and it takes some time to send troops to garrison everywhere, and to form a certain combat effectiveness.

Asking Wang Xu is the right way, no matter what, you can push four, five or six.

........

Within South County.

After Sun Yu entered here, he was steadily fighting, one city after another, each city was captured, and every time he captured a city, he sent troops to garrison it, and sent reliable generals to serve as county captains, and every time he was in a big county, he would leave more soldiers, as well as grain and grass, so that he could be dispatched at any time.

For example, after Sun Yu entered the boundary of Nanjun, he successively captured ten counties, and two of these ten county towns were large and fortified counties, and Sun Yu would leave 10,000 troops in each county, leaving thousands of galls to 10,000 deniers of grain and grass in the city, and as for other small counties, only 1,000 weak brigades were left to garrison.

Once the city was occupied, Sun Yu sent people to accept it, abolish the laws of the Hu State, and announce the decree of the Holy Dynasty, which can already be seen from this move, he has taken the captured city as his own city and as the territory of the Holy Dynasty.

At this time, in a county town, Sun Yu beat drums and gathered generals to discuss the next battle.

Bringing everyone to Qi, Sun Yu said: "There are forty-seven cities in the southern capital, this is a big county, we have attacked for a long time, only to lay eleven, and this is still in the case of the enemy's defenselessness, if the enemy deep ditch and high fortress to refuse, we will be more difficult, so if we go on, when can we capture the southern capital." ”

"Haha, what's there to be anxious about, fight slowly, anyway, we have the chance to win, don't be afraid of him Hu Ling, our army will divide Gao Quan and Hu Ling in two, see how they fight."

Fukangan Road.

"That's it, my father is right, it should be them who should be anxious now, General Zheng has led an army of 300,000 to the south, Qingyuan County is in danger, Hu Ling is difficult to take care of, he won't live long."

Fu Xu said.

Fu Xu is the only son of Fu Kangan, and now he has grown up, and has served as an artillery general in the army for many years, and he is no longer as immature as before.

As soon as Fu Xu finished speaking, Qiancang and the others in the tent all nodded, they had made a lot of determination to come this time, and they must take the southern capital!

Sun Yu said: "Now in front of us, there are three checkpoints, one is Qinglong Pass, two is White Tiger Pass, and three Yunni Pass, these three checkpoints are the strongest city passes since we entered Nanjun, as long as one of these three levels is broken, we can drive straight into the hinterland of Nanjun." ”

"It's extremely difficult to attack these three levels." On the side, Qiancang said.

When he said this, Qiancang pointed to the map: "Look at it, no matter which pass, how many troops are stationed and don't care about it, in terms of strong city defense, our red-coated artillery can't be smashed at all, and we must attack in a down-to-earth manner, how long will it take?" ”

"This mission is called me, hmph, see how I can win these three levels." At this time, on the left, Zheng Li said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will lead my headquarters to attack Qinglong Pass, and you are not allowed to move, just watch the battle from behind, and see how I capture it." ”

Zheng Li and Zheng Feng's troops were specially trained to attack the city that Wang Xu said back then, and they were good at attacking the city, but now Zheng Feng's siege elite has all been lost, and in the entire Holy Dynasty army, only Zheng Li's 100,000 people are the best siege army.

Hearing this, everyone nodded, no one competed with Zheng Li for this job, they all paid attention to field battles, and did not grab this kind of offensive and defensive battle that consumed troops, this kind of battle was the most boring.

"Okay, then General Zheng will attack, and we will cheer you on."

Sun Yu laughed: "Take a good rest tonight, and early tomorrow morning, send 300,000 troops to attack Qinglong Pass." ”

"Order!" (To be continued.) )
