Lin Haotian had no choice but to take Guangxi County, so he had no choice but to order the whole army to be stationed and recuperate temporarily.

Less than two days later, the rear came good news, the Sixth Army Corps commanded by Mu Wu finally launched a full-army onslaught after besieging Yangchuan for two months, the battle was extremely fierce, it was a head-on battle between the tip of the needle against Maimang, the Sixth Army finally opened a breakthrough in the north city of Yangchuan after two consecutive days and two nights of fierce fighting, and successfully attacked the city. However, the Red Army was also extremely tenacious, the city was broken, and still refused to surrender, and the main general Yin Ze led the remnants to fight to the death with the Jin army in the city, but in the end, due to the disparity in combat strength between the two sides, they were eaten away by the Jin army one by one.

After another day of melee in the city, the Red Army led by Yin Ze was annihilated, and even Yin Ze himself died tragically in the chaos. Although the Jin Army won this battle, it was also a tragic victory, and the Sixth Army of more than 100,000 troops was defeated in one battle, with more than half of the casualties, and even the establishment of five corps was wiped out.

However, the victory of the Battle of Yangchuan also made the Jin army deep into the Red Country no longer have to worry about the future, counting the Xishan County that had just defected, the Jin army had occupied three counties in the Red Country, namely Dongjiang, Pengfeng, and Xishan.

While Lin Haotian wrote back to commend the Sixth Army, he also ordered Mu Wu to lead his troops to wipe out all the resistance forces in Pengfeng and Dongjiang counties, and completely stabilize the situation in the two counties.

Because the local armies of Dongjiang and Pengfeng have long been wiped out by the Jin army, the remaining fish that have slipped through the net are no longer in the climate, even if the Sixth Army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Yangchuan, it was enough to easily complete the task.

Soon after the good news of the Battle of Yangchuan, the information of the First Army and the Fifth Army came again, and before the Fifth Army arrived at Juejin Mountain, the Red Army, which heard the news, took the initiative to retreat, and the First Army Corps, which had been trapped for many days, was finally able to get out of the trap and join the Fifth Army Corps. Now stationed near the Absolute Gold Mountain, waiting for Lin Haotian's order.

Having won the three counties of Chiguo in a row, Lin Haotian's morale was flourishing, and after receiving the message from the two armies of Pingyuan and Huwei, he immediately returned to the second army and continued to go south. Attack Goldstone Castle and the Jungka County where it is located.

When Lin Haotian was about to go south from Xishan County, the two legions of the Second Army and the Third Army Corps were fighting extremely smoothly in the eight counties of Munan, and they had defeated the Red Army three times in a row.

Fighting on two fronts, and good news on two fronts are frequently reported, how can Lin Haotian not be happy? He had no worries, and his goal was Anqiu County in the Red Country.

At present, the troops directly under Lin Haotian's command are less than 100,000, but according to the information from Shao Lin, the troops of Anqiu County are not much.

According to the investigation of the spies sent by Shao Lin, Lin Haotian had initially mastered Anqiu's troops.

Anqiu is a small county, with only two counties and five cities, and the main forces are concentrated in the county town of Shangwan. There were about 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the head of the county was called Gao Guan. He has served in Anqiu for more than ten years, and although he has not made much achievements, he has not made any mistakes, and he is a decent official.

Lin Haotian naturally didn't pay attention to this little-known little person, and he was almost recuperating near Guangxi County, so he waved his army south. Go straight to Anqiu.

On the second day after entering Anqiu, the Jin army captured Wanfang City without blood. It is said to be a city, but the prosperity is not as good as that of other towns, and the area of the city is not small, but it is difficult to find even a decent attic inside. As far as the eye can see, there are dilapidated earthen houses.

The land of Anqiu is barren, even the climate is not good, often the gold is constant, the yellow sand is all over the sky, in the Wanfang City, it is also crazy gold roaring, dusty, and there are few pedestrians on the street.

There were no defenders and no officials, so Lin Haotian led the army directly into the city. Because the golden sand was too shaved, many Jin soldiers lifted the sweat towel around their necks to cover their mouths and noses, leaving only two eyes outside.

The generals Yang Xiu, Dong Sheng, and Dou Cong around Lin Haotian all shook their heads as they walked, and complained: "This kind of ghost place where birds don't doesn't have to build a city at all, it's too much!"

"Hehe!" Lin Haotian grinned, and he also agreed.

At this time, Chu Lianyu on the side explained: "Now it seems that the cities here are indeed dispensable, but at the beginning, when the two countries of Chimu were at loggerheads, this was an important town for the defense of the Red Kingdom. ”

Everyone really didn't know much about the history between the two countries of Akagi, and when they heard him say this, they asked, "When did that happen?"

Chu Lianyu pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, "It's been at least three hundred and fifty or sixty years. He sighed lightly and said: "More than three hundred years have passed, the Red Country has become stronger and stronger, and the Wood Country has become weaker and weaker, and now, the Wood Country is only left to be slaughtered, and Anqiu County is no longer the military powerhouse of the Red Country!"

"I see. Everyone nodded in understanding, and then couldn't help but admire: "Lord Chu knows so much, even the history between Chimu." ”

Chu Lianyu said with a smile: "I have been awarded as a general, I just read some more books." ”

Lin Haotian smiled: "Lian Yu doesn't have to be too modest. ”

The huge Wanfang City, but the people in the city are less than 50,000 people, the silver treasury is empty, and not even a grain of rice can be found in the granary, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as poor. The situation in Wanfang City makes people have to sigh in their hearts, the two counties that are close at hand, Xishan County is so rich that the grain is bursting, but Anqiu County is outrageously barren.

On that day, the Jin army was stationed in Wanfang City, and Lin Haotian gathered all the generals in the city lord's mansion to discuss how to fight the next battle.

Yang Xiu spoke first: "My lord, since Anqiu's troops are concentrated in the county town of Shangwan, according to the opinion of the last general, our army should not waste time, directly take Shangwan, and completely defeat Anqiu's military strength." ”

Lin Haotian nodded, feeling that what Yang Xiu said was feasible.

"My lord, the last general thinks that the siege is the bottom, and the war is the top! It is better to send someone to Shangwan to surrender first, if Gao Guan is willing to surrender, it will save effort and avoid the casualties of our army. General Dong Sheng said.

"Surrendering without a fight is not very reliable after all, if you blindly surrender the enemy army, there will be too many hidden dangers in the rear of our army!" Yang Xiu immediately retorted.

Although Dong Sheng is a military general, he is easy-going and will not be angry when he is refuted. He smiled slightly, and said: "You can't give up surrendering because you are afraid of the existence of hidden dangers, the central army of the Red Kingdom plus the local army, millions of people, can our army still kill all of them? I still think that we should surrender first, and then fight!"

Lin Haotian thought about it carefully, and felt that Dong Sheng's words were not unreasonable, he said: "Our army is coming from an expedition, and there will be one less dead or wounded, and it is difficult to replenish troops. As he spoke, he asked Shao Lindao, "How is Gao Guan's personality?"

Shao Lin said: "Gao Guan can sit in the position of the county head for more than ten years, he must be a diehard faction of the Red Kingdom, and his subordinates think that it is unlikely that Gao Guan will be surrendered. ”

Lin Haotian secretly said troublesomely, and said, "No matter what, try it first!

"The last general!"

"Tomorrow, send someone to Shangqiu and send a letter of surrender to Gao Guan. ”

"Yes, King!" Chu Lianyu replied.

After discussing with everyone, Lin Haotian wiped the sweat from his head, looked out with a frown, and muttered, "Why is it so hot here?"

Not to mention Lin Haotian, everyone around is also sweating, the local climate is not something that newcomers can bear, open the windows, the golden sand blows in, and when the doors and windows are closed, the room is as hot as a steamer, which makes people miserable.

Seeing that Lin Haotian was uncomfortably hot, Gu Liangyun, as a guard, immediately ordered the guards to bring some black plum soup brought by the army.

Lin Haotian usually doesn't drink this kind of sweet and sour thing, but now he is like drinking nectar. As soon as he took a big sip, he saw that everyone around him was looking at him with great eyes, and he was still swallowing his saliva vigorously, so he immediately put down the bowl, handed it to the guards, took all the plum soup, and distributed it to everyone.

Gu Liangyun looked embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "My lord, we don't bring much black plum soup, these many people share the drink, I'm afraid each person will ......not be enough to drink a sip" When they spoke, the two also glanced at the people around them.

Lin Haotian frowned, stood up, and said to everyone: "Let's go out for tea! The huge Wanfang City can't even have a teahouse, right?!" After a pause, he explained: "By the way, give ten yuan to each of our brothers, whether it is to buy tea or summer medicine, in short, I don't want to see our brothers suffer from heat stroke on a large scale before they engage the enemy." ”

"Understood, sir!" the generals intervened. (To be continued......)
