But what people didn't expect was that these local recruits who had just been recruited suddenly began to resist spontaneously after being stunned for a moment, and the pickaxes, shovels, and even flat poles in their hands became weapons in their hands, and they bravely tore and killed the soldiers of the Yan army without the order of the main general.

This is really beyond everyone's expectations-

Not only the Yan army's side, but even Xu Kai, who was their main general, was stunned at the time, and it took him a long time to react, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack and fight with the Yan army with these recruits. Not to mention, with the encouragement of the brave behavior of these recruits, the morale of the Cangzhou defenders was greatly boosted, and they really suppressed the Yan army.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiu Fu hurriedly ordered the vanguard battalion to withdraw temporarily, after all, "those who are afraid of death will not die", although the attack of these recruits is disorderly, but their lifeless strength is still unacceptable. Therefore, although Tan Yuan was very unconvinced, he was finally pulled back by him.

Seeing that the Yan army had retreated, Xu Kai hurriedly led the whole army to withdraw to the city and closed the city gate tightly. When Zhu Di arrived with the main force of the Chinese army, all he saw was Tan Yuan's depressed face and Qiu Fu's expression of crying and laughing.

Surprised, Zhu Di asked for details, and after listening to the two of them, King Yan couldn't help but smile and comforted,

"The two generals don't have to worry, I think what you just met is the Xiangyong that Xu Kai just recruited from the local area. This Cangzhou has inherited the style of martial arts since ancient times, not only adult men, but also women and children, I am afraid that they will have some fists and kicks, so it is normal to encounter resistance. ”

"However, the two of us had the opportunity to capture this city on the spot, but we didn't grasp it, it's really ......"

Tan Yuan was still a little unhappy.

Zhu Di looked up at the Cangzhou city and Dao opposite,

"You see, they haven't even been able to strengthen the defensive city, it is precisely because the two of you arrived in time that the two generals have made great contributions, and the next thing is to storm up and capture Cangzhou."

"Good! We will obey Your Highness's orders! ”

As soon as I heard that the city was about to be attacked, everyone's energy came again.

However, Zhu Di looked at them and smiled slyly, saying,

"However, before that, the Lone King needs ten soldiers with louder voices."

"...... with a loud voice"

The generals looked at each other and turned their gaze back to King Yan again in confusion.

Zhu Di continued to smile and said,

"Then let them go to the front and shout, 'If you will give up the city, you will not kill,' do you hear clearly?"

"Hear me!"

Everyone agreed to do it.

Then the whole army rested on the spot for a while, and after ten soldiers with loud voices shouted in front of the battle, Zhu Di ordered the four gates to start attacking the city at the same time.

This Cangzhou city did not have time to be built, and the Yan army had artillery, so it didn't take long to break a corner of the city wall, and when Zhu Di ordered a full-scale attack, Xu Kai saw that there was really no hope, so he led the whole army to open the city and surrender, so Cangzhou City fell into the hands of the Yan army.

When Xu Kai came to see King Yan with a shameful face, Zhu Di first appeased him, and then told everyone that those who were willing to belong would be co-opted, and those who were unwilling could leave on their own. As a result, after some inquiry, almost all of the 10,000 recruits who had just been recruited from the local area asked to go home.

But these are documents that have just been incorporated into the barracks and have not yet been able to pass everywhere in their hands, so Zhu Di immediately ordered Xu Kai to issue them immediately. However, after sending it, it was discovered that the number of documents was insufficient, and there were still 3,000 people who had not received them.

At this time, it was already dark, Zhu Di thought about it, and told his subordinates that the political attaché in charge of this matter would handle it overnight, and that all the documents would be distributed to everyone at dawn the next day. The 3,000 people left behind temporarily stayed in the barracks for one night, and let Tan Yuan take charge of the management.

Now that Cangzhou has been taken, the next thing is to face Sheng Yong again, Zhu Di returned to his own sleeping tent in the Chinese army camp, thinking about the next plan and taking time to rest. But he never expected that something happened that made his heart ache in the middle of this night.

Let's say that Tan Yuan has not been very comfortable in his heart because he was repelled by a group of "village warriors" during the siege of the city, and as a general in front of King Yan's tent, he involuntarily has a deep understanding of these people. And now that His Royal Highness has asked him to manage these brave and fearless people who are not bound by military regulations, Tan Yuan is even more and more difficult to feel at ease, so after having dinner and patrolling the camp, he came to this camp again.

But before he could come to the camp, just as he approached, the atmosphere here made his vigilance even worse, because at this time, according to the habit of the Yan soldiers, except for the guards who were guarded, everyone should rest, but here it was brilliantly lit and noisy.

Suspicious in his heart, Tan Yuan instructed a personal soldier beside him without thinking,

"Go and transfer all the brothers from the crossbow battalion."

"Obey."

The personal soldier went to do it, and there was not much time, and five thousand soldiers of the crossbow battalion arrived, and with Tan Yuan's military order to "surround this battalion", these three thousand soldiers were already under the threat of arrows and crossbows.

Seeing that the ambush had been laid, Tan Yuan led people into the camp, and when he looked closely, he saw that these soldiers were all drinking happily, and there were many people dancing with knives and guns, fighting each other, laughing and laughing to their heart's content, and they were happy, and their hearts suddenly became annoyed, and said,

"What are you still making noise about here when you are restless in the middle of the night?!"

"Ah, who is this?"

The soldiers were startled by his roar, and they all looked at me, I looked at you, and asked each other.

A deputy general beside Tan Yuan saw that his face was very bad, so he stepped forward and said,

"This is the commander of Tongzhi and General Tan Yuan, you have to be rude when you wait!"

"Oh, it's a general."

Some of these people suddenly realized what they were doing, but then they did whatever they had to do, as if nothing had happened.

Tan Yuan was really angry now, and yelled again,

"Quiet down to General Ben! This is a barracks, and you have to rest when it's time to rest, do you hear that?! ”

"I said this general,"

A burly-looking man stood up from the campfire and said,

"Although this is a military camp, we are not your soldiers now, so we don't have to listen to your orders if we want to do anything!"

"That's right, we are no longer soldiers from the moment we finish the battle, why do we still obey your orders, general?"

The other man chimed in.

When Tan Yuan heard that they dared to contradict him, he immediately became angry and said,

"Whether you are my sergeant or not, at this moment, since you are in my camp, you must obey the military order! If you violate it, you will be subject to military law! ”

"Yo, military law-at-law?"

The burly man sneered nonchalantly and said,

"Does the general think we like to stay in your battalion? If it weren't for the fact that you didn't have any papers, we would have left with the other 7,000 brothers, so why stay here and listen to your ramblings. ”
