Chapter 220

The Zhou army appeared at the east gate, which means that Yinzhou has fallen, there are more than 20,000 Liao cavalry in this Yinzhou, and they can't stop the footsteps of the Zhou army.

Xiazhou City is already an isolated city, and there is no foreign aid.

At this time, Li Yiyu stepped forward to ask for orders, wanting to take advantage of the fact that the Zhou army had just arrived and the position was not stable, and led 15,000 cavalry to raid the Zhou army outside the east gate.

Li Yiyin was like grasping a life-saving straw, and he was moved.

He promised Li Yiyu that if this battle was successful, he would share the five states with Li Yiyu.

Li Yiyu then led his army out of the city to the east.

The army came three miles outside the city and began to line up.

And Chai Rong has also formed a formation.

Chai Rong was a little annoyed, at this time, if he had a decisive battle with these 15,000 cavalry, how many people would be left of the 30,000 army he led.

However, the enemy army was already in front of him, so what could he do if he didn't fight, while arranging the formation, he sent someone to order Guo Jin to send a powerful part of the army to come to reinforcements and attack from behind the enemy.

The arrow was on the bow and had to ...... and take it back.

After Li Yiyu led the army to complete the formation outside the east gate, he began to move forward.

The archers of the Zhou army began to pull the strings, but at this time, Li Yiyu surrendered in front of the battle.

Li Yiyu is a smart person, Xiazhou City is already a lonely city, and he led the cavalry to defeat the Zhou army in front of him, how many people are left in his command?

The Zhou army in the west took the opportunity to attack the city, how could there be any hope for Xiazhou City, instead of wandering north into the desert, it was better to use these 15,000 cavalry to seek wealth for themselves.

Chai Rong was overjoyed when he heard this, and lost 20,000 cavalry in Sui and Yinzhou a few days ago. It has become the biggest regret of this crusade, and now there are suddenly 15,000 cavalry, so far. This crusade became a big victory, and such a result could make Chai Rong triumphant.

So, Chai Rong personally came to the front of the battle to surrender, because the commander of the Ma army Fan Aineng had been beheaded, Chai Rong named Li Yiyu as the commander of the Ma army on the spot.

Here, Chai Rong and Li Yiyu each got what they needed, but Li Yiyin was heartbroken on the city wall.

The 30,000 troops in Xiazhou City lost half of them at once. Li Yiyin scolded Li Yiyu's whole family.

The news of Li Yiyu's surrender to the Zhou army spread uncontrollably in Xiazhou City.

This fifteen thousand cavalry surrendered outside the city, how could such a thing be kept secret.

For a while, the people in Xiazhou City were panicked. Morale was low to the extreme.

Chai Rong already had confidence at this time, and he had the confidence to be a soldier who could not be subserved.

There were 15,000 less cavalry in Xiazhou City, and 15,000 more cavalry in the Zhou army. This gave hope for the forced surrender of Li Yiyin.

Chai Rong canceled the order to attack Xiazhou early the next morning. In addition to ensuring the safety of Li Yiyin's entire family, Chai Rong also promised to give Li Yiyin a false title of Guanglu doctor.

Li Yiyin has despaired, the five states that the Li family has been running for decades have died in his own hands, and now although he has the heart to surrender, he has no face to face the ancestors underground after all.

I couldn't think about it for a while, so I burned myself in my mansion.

I can't figure out why people at that time liked to play with fire so much. But this burning completely wiped out the morale of Xiazhou City.

Immediately, the defenders of Xiazhou City successively went out of the city to surrender to the Zhou army.

Chai Rong occupied Xiazhou without spending a single soldier. And for nothing, he got fifteen thousand cavalry and fifteen thousand infantry.

With such good results, Chai Rong arranged the affairs of Xiazhou, convened the generals under his command, and began to discuss how to deal with the Ming army's occupation of Yinzhou.

The envoy from Fuzhou Zhede Rann reported to Chai Rong that after the Ming army annihilated 20,000 Liao troops in Fuzhou, they immediately went north to recover Shengzhou, and after that, the Ming army handed over Shengzhou to Fuzhou Zhede Ran, and returned to Shizhou of the Ming Kingdom.

Chai Rong was really embarrassed to go to the Ming army in Yinzhou City, the Ming army was the reinforcement he invited, in order to aid the Zhou army, the Ming army in Yinzhou with 20,000 troops was stunned to resist the Liao army of more than 20,000 alone, which was an unimaginable record for the Zhou army.

And the Ming army paid the price of more than 5,000 casualties for this, which had to put Chai Rong in a dilemma, he really didn't have the face to let the Ming army leave, but if Yinzhou was handed over to the Ming State, it was not in the interests of the Zhou State.

Zheng En had already shrunk behind everyone, and he felt that this kind of thing made it difficult for him to speak.

Bai Chongzan, Shi Yanchao, and Fu Yanneng were also silent, they were not broad-minded and ready to give up Yinzhou City to the Ming army, but the three of them were veterans of the battlefield, and they really didn't dare to confront the Ming army's combat power.

Guo Jin, Wang Rao, Feng Jiye as another Zhou army, now captured Xiazhou, the great success has been completed, just waiting for Chai Rong to return to Kaifeng to promulgate the will reward, that is willing to cause such trouble, this Ming army was originally invited by Chai Rong himself, how to deal with it, naturally by Chai Rong, they don't want to mess with a sao, you know, there are more than 10,000 Ming troops in Yinzhou City, not to mention that Yinzhou and Sui Erzhou are close to Shi and Lan Erzhou, and the Ming army reinforcements can arrive in two days at most, this is not a joke.

The scene was very deserted, which made Chai Rong even more melancholy.

Someone finally broke the silence, "Shengshang, Yinzhou must be recovered, if the Ming army occupies Yinzhou, it is equivalent to choking the passage between Xia and Sui, although our country can still supply Fu and Lin from Youzhou and Xiazhou, but it is a waste of manpower and material resources to go around such a big circle." In the humble opinion of the minister, it is better to send some money or war horses to the Ming Kingdom as a reward for this aid to our country, that is. ”

This is naturally Zhao Kuangyin, he already has the intention of making the five states difficult in his heart, how can he let Yinzhou be divided?

Chai Rong sighed when he heard this: "If there is no Ming army to resist more than 20,000 Liao troops this time, with the combat strength of the Zhou army, how can we break through Yinzhou and capture Xiazhou." The Ming army suffered more than 5,000 casualties for this, not to mention, the Ming army went north with 30,000 troops to aid Fuzhou, and suffered more than 8,000 casualties. Now that the Zhou State occupies the four states, the Ming army only occupies Yinzhou, and I have to go to the Ming State to ask for Yinzhou, how can I open this mouth? ”。

Zhao Kuangyin naturally knew that he was indeed a little shameless, and Zhao Kuangyin naturally had this sense of shame, but if he really wanted to choose between shamelessness and Yinzhou, Zhao Kuangyin would not hesitate to choose Yinzhou.

But now the choice power is in Chai Rong's hands, without Chai Rong's nod, it is impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to choose even if he wants to.

Just when the monarchs and ministers of the Zhou State were troubled, the envoy of the Ming army Ding Sijin came to Xiazhou City. (To be continued......)
