After entering the city, after learning from the old man's mouth that the Liao army had camped outside the city, Yang Ye also ordered the army to rest in the city for two hours.

In these two hours, Yang Ye made some preparations, such as hook and sickle, tripping horses, etc., Yang Ye has been in the army in the north, and is very familiar with cavalry combat, although the twelfth army is not equipped with firearms, but with 30,000 against 20,000, plus Fuzhou City can be relied on, Yang Ye has the certainty of victory.

And now he was thinking of a night attack on the Liao army.

The Liao army was prepared for a possible sneak attack by the defenders of Fuzhou at night, and Yelu Anbo sent several scout teams to patrol outside, and with the combat strength of the Fuzhou army, Yelu Anbo was fully confident that it could easily resist their attack.

But Jereman had completely miscalculated the situation.

Three o'clock in the night is the time when people feel most sleepy.

Yang Ye led 30,000 Ming troops and immediately launched a surprise attack on the Liao army camp.

The assault is not a sneak attack, it is an open charge, but with the help of the advantage of the night, to be prepared for the unprepared.

Fighting in the dark night, the visibility was too low, Yang Ye ordered every three people to hold a torch, ordered 10,000 cavalry to be the vanguard, and launched a charge with the Liao army.

The poor Liao army scouts were very dedicated, seeing the firelight coming, and shouted a warning, Yelu Anbo's pre-arranged 3,000 cavalry team immediately rushed out, but with 3,000 cavalry to 10,000 cavalry, it came and went quickly, and in less than a pillar of incense, the 3,000 Liao cavalry was wiped out.

Although there were 3,000 cavalry to buy a pillar of incense time for the Liao army.

The Liao army also got on the war horse in a hurry, but at this time there will be no soldiers, and no soldiers can find generals. The Ming army was already approaching, and the Liao army, which was in disarray, could only fight on its own.

The two sides collided in the camp of the Liao army and began to fight.

Wait until the 20,000 infantry of the Ming army arrived later. The Ming infantry, who had already made preparations, quickly swept the Liao cavalry off their horses with hook and sickle guns and tripping horses, and then killed them in groups.

An hour later, the sky was overcast, and many Liao troops were separated and surrounded, and the most central and largest encirclement was naturally Yelu Anbo and his personal guards.

When his eyes could see the situation clearly, Yelu Anbo already knew that the 20,000 Liao army was over. And this defeat is completely despicable Ming Guo secretly participated in the war without trust, where did Fuzhou get so many troops. The Zhou army was dragged outside Suizhou City by the Dingyan army, except for the Ming army, which one else? Jeream cursed in his heart, he didn't want to die. He was going back to report to Liao.

But providence is not always what people want. Yang Ye is a ruthless man, he has just joined the Ming Kingdom, and in Yang Ye's heart, he needs a big victory to prove his talent to the emperor.

Yang Ye then issued an order not to accept prisoners and not to let a single Liao army escape.

In fact, it is impossible not to escape any of them, and no one knows how many Liao troops have escaped in the night.

But no one dared to disobey the words of the commander, not to mention that the 12th Army was originally adapted from the Northern Han Army. The soldiers faithfully carried out Yang Ye's orders.

A night battle, more than two hours. Yang Ye annihilated 20,000 Liao troops with 30,000 against 20,000 without firearms, with more than 8,000 battle losses, and his record was not outstanding.

But there was not a single living mouth left, and even Yelu Anbo was killed several times, after that, Yang Ye ordered his subordinates to collect and burn all the corpses of the Liao army, and then dig a pit and bury it.

This also made it so that when the Liao State pursued the Ming State in the future, except for a few escaped Liao soldiers, there was no evidence to prove that the Ming army participated in the war.

And those soldiers who escaped by nightfall only knew that there were many Zhou army attacks, but they did not know how many Zhou troops there were.

In the dark night, thousands is a lot? Ten thousand is too much? Or is 30,000 too much?

After that, Yang Ye took a temporary rest in Fuzhou City, and sent messengers to report to the Jinling Imperial Court to ask for credit for himself and his soldiers.

Chai Rong finally learned that Guo Jin, the envoy of Zhangwu Jiedu, had come to the city of Xiazhou, because the messenger had already come, and the scouts knew that Li Yiyu had led the cavalry to return west to rescue Xiazhou.

Chai Rong was overjoyed and took this opportunity to issue an order for a general attack, and at the same time, he ordered all the soldiers of the army to shout, "Xiazhou has been captured by the Zhou army, and the defenders surrender without killing".

The whole army of more than 30,000 people attacked the 30,000 defenders of Suizhou City, this is a gamble, if the defenders do not believe and insist on defending the city, then Chai Rong's crusade against the five states will stop under the city of Suizhou.

But Chai Rong is undoubtedly a generation of heroes, and his sensitivity is indeed admirable.

He grasped the defenders' hearts and was good at suspicion, because Li Yiyu led the army back to the west, the defenders all knew the fact that Xiazhou City was in danger, and now the Zhou army was desperate to attack the city on all sides, and at the same time shouted the news of the fall of Xiazhou, and most of the soldiers who defended the city had already believed.

As a result, after a short period of resistance, the defenders of Suizhou City surrendered after the defenders of Suizhou City rioted and killed the main general.

Although the Zhou army also suffered thousands of casualties at the beginning of this battle, it captured Suizhou City with the same force, which has to be said to be a great victory, and the morale of the Zhou army was high.

But at this time, Chai Rong made the mistake of conniving at the soldiers to slaughter the prisoners and conniving at the soldiers to loot at will in the city of Suizhou.

From the Liang, Tang, Jin, and Han dynasties to the present Zhou State, the officials and soldiers have been robbing the people and abusing and killing prisoners of war and the common people, even the wise Guo Wei and Chai Rong.

The soldiers of the Zhou army are all inherited from generation to generation from the Liang, Tang, Jin and Han dynasties, but Chai Rong did not issue a decree to prohibit it, one is because if it is suddenly banned, Chai Rong is afraid of causing a backlash from the soldiers, especially the generals with the troops, this emperor is supported by soldiers and enthroned, if you make these Qiu Ba unhappy, maybe you will be directly pulled down from the emperor's throne. Moreover, because Chai Rong himself came out of the army in this way, he was accustomed to this kind of thing, and felt that this kind of robbery and murder was as normal as rain, especially for the prisoners of war and civilians of the enemy country.

Chai Rong led the army into the town of Suizhou to defend and rest, and the Zhou army looted every house in the city, and transported the looted treasures back to the Zhou State with the wounded soldiers.

Chai Rong began to prepare for the attack on Yinzhou, he was urgently stationed in Jinzhou, originally to prevent the Ming State of Tianxiong Army Jiedu envoy Fu Yanqing led 20,000 troops to aid Suizhou, at this time in Suizhou only 30,000 infantry and more than 10,000 cavalry.

Chai Rong planned to wait for Fu Yanqing to lead an army of 20,000 to Suizhou, and then order him to guard Suizhou to consolidate the rear, and he led 30,000 infantry and more than 10,000 cavalry to attack Yinzhou.

This can not only weaken the strength of the Dingyan army, but also create conditions for Zhang Wu Jiedu to make Guo Jin attack Xiazhou, if he can capture Yinzhou, then he can attack Xiazhou with Guo Jin on both sides, so that the war may end quickly.

After resting for five days, Fu Yanqing led an army of 20,000 to Suizhou, and after Chai Rong explained the matter of guarding the town, he led the army north to attack Yinzhou.

Chai Rong's arrangement is very correct, but the will of heaven is always indisobedient. (To be continued......)
