Two months later.

Zhou Huan stared at the sand table in front of him, which was a topographic map of hundreds of miles around Chuzhou City.

The three-way army of the Northern Wei Dynasty is coming towards Chuzhou City - the general who leads the troops is Helian Xiaohua, the first god of war in the Northern Wei Dynasty, not that Helian Xiaohua does not know the art of war and does not know how to concentrate troops, but this kind of bad supply in ancient times is simply difficult to withstand the 300,000 army all the way.

The area where the 300,000 soldiers have eaten and chewed through will not be able to recover for decades, and there will inevitably be problems with the logistics of such a huge army.

Of course, these things are not understood by Zhou Huan, and the officers in the Dingyan Army explained this to Zhou Huan, which also made Zhou Huan understand why in ancient times there were four ways to attack Xia, three ways to encircle, and then they were broken by people separately, not those commanders idiots, but they had to be like this.

"The failure of several sieges in history often lies in the fact that all men and horses did not act according to the plan, but in fact, more sieges were won by dividing troops, as long as we can grasp the key points of dividing troops and combining troops, and maintain a stable front, we can fight more and less. ”

The officer's explanation made Zhou Huan understand a lot of things, but the situation was still not optimistic.

He can now become a goshawk, and has the ability to see at night, which gives him an extremely strong ability to maneuver, in fact, the current battlefield is simply described as in ancient wars, 10,000 (the Dingyan army has expanded its army) against 300,000, but one of the parties has added a golden finger, sent a civilian silent helicopter with infrared combat function, and the weak side with a load of only 60 kilograms How can it win?

Don't look at the last time Zhou Huan defeated an army of 50,000, but in fact, it was their own fear that defeated the Wei army, because they were afraid of food and grass, because they were afraid that the leader would be killed, because they were afraid of being attacked by sneak attacks, and because they were afraid that they would not wake up.

But that's an army of 50,000, what if it's 300,000?

"This victory is undecided. ”

When the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty came to the city of Chuzhou, the commander Helian Xiaohua was very uneasy.

The siege of Chuzhou City was full of troubles from the beginning.

If the army wants to move forward, it must store grain, grass and ordnance along the way, but the warehouses within 300 miles outside Chuzhou City are often attacked by fire, and a large amount of materials are reduced to ashes. It's not that the Wei army didn't think about setting a trap to catch Zhou Huan who was sneaking in, but no matter how he prepared, the fire would rise up unnoticed, and no one knew how Zhou Huan threw the oil on the warehouse and ignited it.

Dozens of officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty were assassinated, and snowflakes often spread throughout the city overnight, and the people in the rear were panicked, and the fear of Zhou Huan was raised to the extreme.

Fortunately, there was only one person in Zhou Huan, and the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty managed to hoard enough food, and then suddenly opened up and surrounded Chuzhou City.

In the siege of the city, Zhou Huan came out to steal the camp and burn the grain, the Northern Wei Dynasty was prepared, the granaries were more scattered, and at the same time, a steady stream of grain and grass was sent from the rear, Zhou Huan could set fire at most three times a night, how much grain could be burned, ******and the people who calculated could even figure out how strong Zhou Huan's feet were and how much damage he could cause in one night, but these could be bearable!

"Siege!"

Countless soldiers rushed to Chuzhou City with ladders, and the war began to heat up.

He was ready to face Zhou Huan's assassination, the guards of hundreds of people were with him, there were two stand-ins in the big tent, and the important generals also had their own defenses, so he didn't believe that Zhou Huan could face the guards of the hundred people - if he really had such ability, he wouldn't have to bother killing Murong Shiqing.

This battle can only be won, not defeated.

A war of 300,000 against 10,000 does not allow for defeat.

"Mr. Zhou, there is still no news?"

It has been twelve days since the Northern Wei army besieged Chuzhou City, and the defense line on the city wall has been crumbling.

During the last attack and defense of Chuzhou City, Zhou Huan could be seen setting fire to kill people under Chuzhou City every night, and now Zhou Huan has disappeared without a trace.

If......

Everyone's eyes fell on Princess Pingyang at the head of the city, her expression was still very calm, and then everyone was relieved.

Zhou Huan is by no means the kind of person who gives up on everyone, he must be planning something behind the enemy! Although Princess Pingyang didn't say it, her standing here explains everything.

Under the city of Chuzhou, the troops besieging the city lined up in a phalanx, and the sixteen-day siege made the countdown to Chuzhou City from the city break.

Maybe I can be the first person to break the city today, right?" a soldier from the Northern Wei Dynasty licked his tongue and thought.

At this time, there was a sudden earth-shattering cheer from the head of Chuzhou City, as if those people had seen something that gave them enough news to see hope.

A big flag with the word Zhou appeared on the head of the city, could it be that Zhou Huan came back?

"Master Zhou, please Helian Xiaohua answer!"

Many people shouted at the head of the city, and the sound reached the phalanx.

Helian Xiaohua's handsome flag did not move, and it was still standing far away.

"Master Zhou entered Luoyang not long ago, beheaded Helian Bobo, and took down his head letter seal. ”

A few captured Northern Wei officers were put down on the city of Chuzhou, and they ran to the camp of the Wei army crying as if the sky had fallen. These were all people who had seen Helian Bobo, and they confirmed that Helian Bobo's head and seal were genuine.

"The Southern Dynasty used this kind of little trick to try to disturb the hearts of our army, please don't be fooled, Luoyang City is at least thousands of miles away from Chuzhou City, and Zhou Huan is not so fast even if he puts on his wings. ”

Helian Xiaohua said to the surrounding generals with a normal face, "Control the people who are released back and send them to my big tent." ”

"General. ”

Someone rushed behind him, and it was the news of 100,000 urgent news brought by the carrier pigeons in the army.

After the 300,000 troops set out, Helian Bobo did not stay in Luoyang, but lived in the royal city dozens of miles away from Luoyang, which was a fortress built by the Helian tribe for twenty years, the city was high and the river was deep, and it was inhabited by the personal guards of the Helian royal family, as well as the Hu people, who believed that many assassinations came from the Nanren, so he moved here to wait for news.

But three days ago, on a dark and windy night, a fire broke out in the city, spread rapidly and out of control, and in the chaos, Helian Bobo was assassinated, the entire royal city was reduced to ashes, and the nobles of the Northern Wei Dynasty suffered countless casualties.

"How is that possible? How can there be a fire in the city? Damn!"

Helian Xiaohua looked at the head of Chuzhou City, and her heart was full of regret. Give him another three days, and he will definitely be able to break through Chuzhou City. But now that Zhou Huan has returned to Chuzhou City, he will need at least ten days to face the morale-boosting Chuzhou City!

"General, there is no point in breaking through Chuzhou City. ”

Someone spoke behind him, which calmed Helian Xiaohua.

What's the use of breaking through Chuzhou City, and slashing Princess Pingyang with a thousand knives?

The real key lies in Zhou Huan, as long as he does not die, there will always be a knife hanging on his head in the Northern Wei Dynasty! As long as this person is still around, his reputation and prestige are enough to pull up more soldiers.

"Zhou Huan!"

Gritting his teeth, he glanced at Chuzhou City again, and Helian Xiaohua turned his horse's head and turned back.

The most important thing for him now is to return to Luoyang quickly and exert his strength in the struggle for imperial power! And he must do so, because the supply of grain and grass in the rear will be quickly interrupted with the death of Helian Bobo, and then the 300,000 army will be defeated without a fight!

In the fifth year of the Southern Dynasty, the siege of Chuzhou City by the Northern Wei army came to an end, and with the defeat of Helian Bobo, the Northern Wei fell into a civil war, and at the same time, the Southern Dynasty launched the Northern Expedition, and the army of the whole country crossed the Yangtze River and attacked the territory of the Northern Wei.

Originally, the Southern Dynasty was weak, and this Northern Expedition was easy to fail, but the generals and ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were killed one after another, and at the same time, several local Han troops surrendered, and the whole situation was very good.

The Southern Dynasty was able to do this, a big reason for which was the magical power of Wu Guogong and the national teacher Zhou Huan, just like no one in Jiankang City could resist Princess Pingyang's smile, and no one could resist the sword of the martial saint Zhou Huan.
