Chapter Eighty-Three: Conquering Yongchang
A month later, both the madman and Qin Ming's injuries had greatly improved, and the 30,000 troops had been reorganized.
Today, there are 36,000 soldiers in Jiayuan City.
Among them, Xi Jian, Tong Guanshan, and Dian Junshang commanded 7,000 soldiers each, and Qin Ming selected 1,000 elite soldiers to guard the city lord's mansion.
The recovery of essence and blood is an extremely long process, and after a month, Ma Yun has eaten great supplements every day, so he feels that he has not recovered much.
This made him a little discouraged, accustomed to the feeling of dominance, and now he has become no different from ordinary people, and it seems that it will take at least two or three years to fully recover.
Now Jiayuan City is calm on the surface, the soldiers are strong and strong, and it is a thriving scene. Secretly, there are all kinds of cows, horses, snakes, and gods, and dangers are lurking.
Fortunately, those opponents did not know that his skills had not recovered, and almost all gave up the idea of assassinating him.
The madman still followed him like that, which also made Ma Yun feel a lot more at ease.
The madman's martial arts can resist the mad poison servant head-on, you must know that Ma Yun is much worse than the mad poison servant in terms of speed and strength, and it is difficult to hold on for a few rounds.
But he is also a figure who can easily kill high-level martial artists, which shows how high this madman's martial arts are.
The black and white ghosts once said that Xie Yanke had already stepped into the innate realm with half a foot, and this madman was probably also in this realm.
If this madman recovers, he doesn't know if he will be able to enter the innate realm.
In the past month, in addition to recuperating from his injuries, Ma Yun has not been idle, carefully studying the geographical location and distribution of troops in various cities in Jiaozhou.
King Lu originally had an army of more than 200,000, but after this battle, only 160,000 remained. Among them, there were 30,000 permanent troops stationed in Yuejuncheng, guarding against Yuezhou in the north and could not be mobilized.
Guanghan City garrisoned 70,000 troops, and Sun Xian, a soldier from the north, could not be easily mobilized.
The 50,000 troops attacking Jiayuan City were transferred from Qianwei City, which originally had 100,000 troops as mobile forces to support Yuejun City and Guanghan City at any time.
Now, in order to guard against Jiayuan City, the two cities of Tong'an and Yongchang have each increased their troops by 10,000 to support each other. In this way, there are only 40,000 troops left in Qianwei City, and it is not appropriate to move them easily.
In the face of Jiayuan City, which has nearly 40,000 soldiers, King Lu's troops seem to be a little stretched, so Ma Yun is not worried about another army attacking, but has the idea of taking the initiative.
More than 300 miles to the north of Jiayuan City is Tong'an City, and more than 400 miles to the east is Yongchang City, with 20,000 troops stationed in each.
After much discussion with everyone, it was decided to attack Yongchang City.
Because Yongchang City is a rare rich place in Jiaozhou, it can produce a lot of grain every year, and what is most lacking now is food.
Moreover, Yongchang City has a waterway directly to the state. Commercial trade is frequent in the same state.
Among the three heroes of Bingzhou, Shisun Xian was the strongest, with 80,000 troops and occupied four cities; Mu Ye had 50,000 troops and occupied three cities; Meng Shifeng had 60,000 mercenaries and also occupied three cities; and the three of them fought for many years, and no one took any advantage.
Although Xi Jian has been away from Bingzhou for many years, he has been in Bingzhou for many years, and after occupying Yongchang City, relying on Xi Jian's prestige, he should be able to recruit many soldiers from Bingzhou.
After the agreement, the troops were immediately dispatched, Xi Jian Shang recruited Wu Ling with his own soldiers and horses, Ma Yun took the Voldemort Beast, and the 20,000 army set off in a mighty way, without any siege equipment.
Everyone believed that with the might of the Voldemort Beast, it would be easy to break through the city gate and capture the city.
As soon as the military of Jiayuan City was dispatched, Yongchang City got the news and strengthened its defense.
Four hundred miles away, the army traveled forty miles a day, and it only took ten days to reach the outside of Yongchang City. At this time, Yongchang City was already ready to defend.
In the face of a solid city garrisoned by 20,000 people, only 20,000 people were sent and there were no siege equipment to try to capture it, which made people seem really wishful thinking.
The defenders of Yongchang City were not thinking about how to defend the city at this time, but discussing with Guanghan City, sending a team of surprise soldiers from Guanghan City to outflank them and eat the 20,000 troops in one fell swoop.
Both sides have their own calculations, but it is still Ma Yun's side that has the best skills, when the six-zhang long Voldemort beast rushed to the city gate, the huge crossbow on the city gate shot at the scale armor and bounced away.
Voldemort jumped directly onto the walls from outside the four-foot-wide moat and rampaged on it, killing or wounding the defenders.
He jumped from the city wall to the city gate, where thousands of soldiers were gathered ready to support the city wall at any time.
These soldiers were like ants in front of the Voldemort, and when the Voldemort's tail swept over, it flew a group of people, and after a few waves, none of those soldiers dared to step forward.
Voldemort slammed the gate three times before slamming it open from the inside.
He hit the drawbridge again, and he crashed the drawbridge down and landed heavily on the moat.
As soon as the city gate was broken, Xi Jianshang recruited Wu Ling and immediately led his men and horses to kill them.
Wherever there were many enemy troops, Voldemort rushed to them, and Xi Jian and they barely encountered decent resistance, and they occupied four city gates.
The enemy generals defending the city did not have time to flee and were beheaded in the chaos.
It took less than two hours from the start of the attack to the capture of the city.
In this battle, the 20,000 enemy soldiers defending the city suffered more than 7,000 casualties, most of which were killed by the Voldemort beasts, and more than 10,000 surrendered except for those who escaped from the other city gates.
Seeing that the Voldemort Beast was so ferocious, these soldiers also knew that Xi, Jianshang, and Zhengwu Ling were once generals under King Lu, and they surrendered simply.
Just when the army was being rectified and pacified by the people, the spies came to report that an army of about 20,000 people appeared ten miles north of Yongchang City.
Xi Jian was very reluctant, because he was left to guard Yongchang, Ma Yun and Shang Zheng Wu Ling went to raid the enemy army.
Poor team of enemy soldiers originally wanted to sneak attack Ma Yun's army from the side, but how could they have expected that Yongchang City would be broken in less than two hours.
When Voldemort roared and rushed to the front of the battle, it scattered the enemy army.
Shang Zheng Wu Ling covered up from both sides, and in less than half an hour, the army of 20,000 people was defeated and surrendered 7,000 people, and the rest either fled or died. By the way, enough food for an army of 20,000 men was captured for 20 days.
Yongchang City really did not disappoint everyone, and the granary was full of grain, enough for 50,000 people for a year.
Now Ma Yun finally doesn't have to worry about the food problem, the grain will be harvested in a few months, and a large amount of grain will be replenished at that time.
In the battle of Yongchang City, there were more than 20,000 soldiers and wounded soldiers, and Ma Yun's strength was much stronger.
Now it has 56,000 soldiers and two cities, which can also be called a hero.
The reason why King Lu's army was so completely defeated in this battle was that he did not expect Shang Zheng Wu Ling to surrender sincerely, and the 30,000-strong army would be reorganized within a month, and secondly, he underestimated the ability of Ma Yun and Voldemort.
The three brothers of Xiao Tiangang need to pay a great price to control the Voldemort, and Ma Yun uses the blood jade demon bone to control the Voldemort, not only can he drive it at will, but the ability of the Voldemort Beast has also improved a lot.
After this battle, Ma Yun's ambition was greatly boosted, and he was eager to immediately lead his troops to attack the next city.
With Voldemort charging forward, it takes almost no effort to take the city, but there are many benefits.
Jack Ma has never felt so happy.
Where is this war, it is clearly a robbery.
