Chapter 1002: Bloodless Blades

The Qin army made an arrogant all-round attack in Hebei, penetrating deep into the two towns of Chengde and Weibo, and the fighting style of the soldiers under the city, although arrogant, the results achieved were excellent. Many officials in Yanjing have written one after another, thinking that the two generals Zhou Dewei and Guo Chongtao on the front line are too radical. However, Li Jing didn't pay attention to these twists and turns. In fact, this seemingly radical style of play is actually based on comprehensive intelligence control and advantageous strategic situation, and the second town of Hebei has long become a lone army, and there are no troops to help.

On the contrary, the Qin army has the advantage of the number and combat power of the army, and does not fight field battles with the opponent, nor does it fight siege warfare, and directly has a siege war, killing the opponent's city as quickly as possible, and dividing a city into a city. It seems adventurous, but it's actually very solid. If the two towns of Hebei dare to go out of the city to fight, the Qin army, whose troops seem to be scattered, will not be in crisis. On the contrary, the two towns also dispersed their forces, turning the decisive battle into a skirmish, and the Qin army still occupied the absolute initiative.

It can even be said that Li Jing wants to use this division tactic to prevent the two towns from gathering a large army for a decisive battle. Fighting a large-scale battle consumes too much, not only consuming the Qin army, but also consuming the confidence of the second town. For Li Jing, who now completely regards Erzhen as his own bag, it would be a pity that the fruit was ripe, but it would be a pity to break it.

On the day that the good news of the Battle of Zhenzhou was transmitted back to Yanjing, Li Jing was completely relieved.

In this battle, Zhou Dewei used 20,000 against 30,000, with ambush and artillery bombardment and mine formation, to deal with the Zhao army who came out of the city to attack at night, and achieved the great result of destroying more than 3,000 enemies and capturing more than 15,000 prisoners. and captured the chief general of the Zhao army. Chengde marched Sima Wang Jingyi. Facing the fierce ambush of the Qin army. Wang Jingyin, who was close to the city of Zhending twenty miles away, didn't even dare to go out of the city to help, but just led the army to line up at the gate of the city, collecting the defeated soldiers who fled back, and did not dare to leave the city at all.

After dawn, the Zhao army in Zhending City was so frightened that the city gate was closed, and they didn't dare to talk about going out of the city to fight anymore. And Zhou Dewei also followed Li Jing's orders and did not storm Zhending City. Still down the Hutuo River, continue to confront the Zhao army.

In the next few days, Wei Bo and Chengde two towns and dozens of counties in Bazhou, there were also some city defenders who were overwhelmed and tried to break through the city, but as soon as they left the protection of the city, they were not the opponents of the Qin army at all in the wilderness. After several battles, the soldiers and horses who dared to go out of the city were all defeated, killed or captured, and even the defenders of several cities were wiped out. The empty city was easily occupied by the Qin army, which became an unexpected gain.

The second town of Hebei fought alone. Although the two towns had more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, at this time, they all felt that they were alone. The Qin army dispatched too quickly this time, there were several previous bluffs, and before the raid, the summer harvest was imminent, so the two towns were a little careless. After the Qin army came over, and went against the norm and directly implemented this arrogant tactic, the four or five hundred thousand huge soldiers and horses in the two towns were divided and surrounded in dozens of cities and military villages in the eight states, and they could not form an effective combat force at all, and even after being divided, there was no effective command system.

The elite of the two towns are all tooth troops, as well as some foreign town troops, but more are such as county and town soldiers, garrison soldiers, and unity soldiers, these soldiers and horses are mostly newly recruited in recent years, although the number is large, but the equipment is not complete, the training is not complete, and the combat effectiveness is not high.

In the past few years, after the Qin clan entered Hebei and successively took the three towns of Lulong, Yiwu and Cangjing, the remaining Wei Bo and Chengde two old feudal towns in Hebei began to have soldiers flee frequently, and like many common people and slaves, they heard a lot of rumors about the Qin domain, all saying that the Qin domain was a paradise, and people constantly took risks to flee. For this reason, Erzhen had to increase the punishment, and even tattooed the faces of all the army soldiers, dyed them with ink, and tattooed the military horn. Checkpoints are strictly inspected in various places, and if anyone with the tattoo is found to have escaped from the army, they are immediately arrested.

This trick once achieved very good results, but now, when the Qin Domain attacked the second town in an all-out way, the soldiers from all over the second town began to flee again.

At first, only a small number of soldiers took the opportunity to flee to the front of the Qin army, and later more and more soldiers fled, and even some of them fled and surrendered to the Qin army. Up to now, the front-line battle report received by Li Jing has shown that the second town has begun to have soldiers and horses to make high-ranking generals surrender to the Qin army.

On the seventh day of the war, more than a dozen generals had already surrendered to Qin, and even three of them surrendered directly.

Deep State, Thorn House.

Su Han, the former military commander of Shenzhou and Chengde Town, sat in the study, his brows were urgent, and he sighed for a long time.

"Envoy, the situation is getting worse and worse!" Su Han's strategist, Shenzhou's Changshi Niu Yi said worriedly, "In the first battle, Wang Jingyi's army was defeated and captured, and the Boye army was almost wiped out." Now Wang Jingyin has lost his heart, and he is helpless against the Qin army. Only seven days after the start of the war, as far as we know, more than a dozen generals have surrendered to Qin, and even three county towns have been surrendered by them to the Qin army. Just our Shenzhou, Anping, Raoyang, Lucheng, and Luze counties, now there are already two cities of Anping and Raoyang that have been defended and dedicated to the Qin army. Now, our north has been completely controlled by the Qin army, not to mention that the Qin army can quickly move south along the Hutuo River, just the 10,000 horses of Gao Siji who are surrounded outside the city, we can't stop it. Gao Siji, but Li Jing's disciple, known as the White Horse Silver Spear, is extremely brave. ”

Su Han sighed, "What can so-and-so?" has the intention to kill the thief, but has no power to return to heaven. ”

"Today, you should make plans as soon as possible."

Su Han knew in his heart that in the current situation, if he surrendered early, he might be able to make some credit, and if he surrendered when the situation was irretrievable, there would really be nothing left at that time. But if he really wants to come this far, he can't help but hesitate. Su Han is also a military general of the Chengde generation, although Chengde has been controlled by four families for more than 100 years, but their Su family has been a Chengde general for more than 100 years, neither high nor low. In Chengde Town, the Su family's strength is not small. No matter who becomes a virtuous commander, the status of their Su family will not change. But if Qin is surrendered, according to his understanding of the Qin domain, it is absolutely impossible for the Su family to retain the right to become the head of the German army in the future. The Su family's today is not easy to come by, who is willing to give up lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Envoy, if you miss the opportunity now. There will be nothing left. ”

This sentence finally made Su Han make a choice. "Immediately summon the officers above the army squadron to come to the general's mansion to discuss the matter." After a pause, he said in a deep voice. "In addition, transfer all the tooth soldiers to the mansion to ambush, remember, be cautious and don't leak the news."

Looking at Su Han's expression, Niu Yi nodded with a smile, feeling a sense of relief in his heart. Fortunately, the old boss knows the current affairs, otherwise. I'm afraid that for the sake of his own future, he will have to find another way.

That night, the soldiers and horses in Shenzhou City were on guard and strictly guarded, but in the Assassin's Mansion in Shenzhou, the lights were brilliant, and officers at all levels gathered together.

"Fellow brothers, when we gather today, only one thing is announced, and now you have seen the situation. Mortal danger. You follow so-and-so, and so-and-so can't bear to continue to jump to the fire pit with everyone. Therefore, a certain plan, to descend to Qin tomorrow, can be regarded as finding a way out for your brothers. ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was suddenly silent, and no one thought that Su Han, the general of Chengde, would surrender without a fight. Although these days, all kinds of bad news have come, it is really a big defeat, and several generals have surrendered in Kaicheng, but after all, Su Han is the assassin of a state, and he is also an assassin in the capacity of a military general who commands the soldiers and horses of a state, and he also opened his mouth to surrender, which is really surprising.

Surprised, many generals breathed a sigh of relief, the current situation, everyone can see that Chengde can't hold on. Even if it survives this year, what about next year? Sooner or later, it will be annexed by the Qin army, since this is the case, who is willing to fight such a battle. If you can find a way out earlier, of course everyone is willing.

However, not everyone has such an idea, there are still many generals in the hall who openly oppose it, some of them are because their families are in Zhenzhou, some are because they are confidants of the Wang family, and some are because of several wars with the Qin army, some of their children died in the war, no matter what the reason, they do not want to surrender.

Su Han's eyes coldly swept over the extremely fierce guys, there were quite a few of them, and the highest identity among them was Wang Zhen, the envoy of the city defense soldiers, this guy was a disciple of the Wang family. Many of the rest are also his henchmen, as well as some first-class officers of the battalion owner's team.

When Wang Zhen and others shouted enough, Su Han smiled coldly, put down the wine glass, and clapped his hands gently.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps from the corridor outside the hall, and then the door of the hall was slammed open, and Su Han's tooth soldiers rushed in with iron armor and sword and shield in hand.

Wang Zhen's face turned pale immediately, he didn't expect Su Han to be prepared, and he was actually luring them to jump out just now.

"Su Han, you dog mongrel, the Su family has been favored by the Wang family for generations, and now you actually betray your master, you can't die well!"

Su Han sneered: "When the Su family was in the Sui Dynasty, it was already a Hebei Military Academy, from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, and from An Lushan and Shi Siming to the Tang Dynasty, to the later recruited by the imperial court and became the Chengde Military Academy. Your royal family is just one of them. Do the Uighur mongrels think they are the real kings of virtue? After speaking, he waved his hand, and a group of tooth soldiers stepped forward, pulling those who had opposed before to the bottom of the corridor, and there was a sound of knives and axes, and after a while, the heads of Wang Zhen and dozens of officers had been lifted to the hall, drenched in blood.

"Fellow comrades, do you still have any objections to the surrender of Qin?" Su Han swept over the generals, and everyone shook their heads.

"Hahaha, okay, then so-and-so will send someone to contact General Gao outside the city now, and now, please also ask you to write a joint letter of surrender with so-and-so."

The surrender book was full of the names of the generals, and there were blood fingerprints stained with the blood of Wang Zhen and others just now, and the heads of dozens of officers such as Wang Zhen were attached, and they were taken to Gao Siji's military camp outside the city by Niu Yi sent by Su Han.

At the same time, the generals continued to stay in the Assassin's Mansion, and Su Han sent tooth soldiers to take over the city defenses.

At dawn, Niu Yi rode a tall horse, and some triumphantly led the way for Gao Siji and returned to the city of Shenzhou.

In front of Gao Siji and the 10,000 Qin troops, the gate of Shenzhou slowly opened, and Su Han led the city's Chinese military officials, as well as all the defenders who laid down their swords and undressed armor, slowly left the city, waiting for Gao Siji's surrender.

The process of surrender went smoothly and there were no accidents.

Gao Si's soldiers did not need to be bloody, and they occupied Shenzhou City without spending a single soldier.

On the same day, under the persuasion of Su Han, Niu Yi and others, the defenders of Lucheng and Lu Ze in the south of Shenzhou also surrendered.

That night, Gao Siji personally wrote, "Our army occupies the entire territory of Shenzhou, and not a single soldier is lost!" "The good news, send someone Pegasus to Yanjing! (To be continued......)
