Yanzhou West City Gate suddenly erupted with a huge city-shaking sound!

The rumbling boom is deafening!

The Qi defenders in the city were taken aback! A group of harvest soldiers subconsciously stood on the city tower to try to reconnoiter the enemy!

As a result, as soon as the head stretched out, the brain was burst by the loud sound of the firecracker!

"Simon is attacked! Simon is attacked! ”

"I don't know how many people are coming!"

The Marquis of the City Gate was caught off guard by the sudden raid! But such a precise arrangement! He knew right away that he was prepared!

It's too late to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and report it to the top!

However, just when the news of the attack of the Marquis of the city gate reached the Zhichong Mansion, the city gate of the West Gate had been blasted open by nearly 10,000 siege soldiers from the ten capitals in an instant!

"Kill!!"

The shouts of killing accompanied the footsteps of the 30,000 army! Flooding into the city gates!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Qi army in the city immediately dispersed like birds and beasts! Some run north, some run south! The whole city is suddenly plunged into a chaotic chase street fight!

Yang Jian's heart was always hanging, after breaking the city, he led a general to kill the city tower as soon as possible!

After completely occupying the West City Tower, Yang Jian planted the black tooth flag that symbolizes the overall situation on the city tower!

The adjutant general blew the horn! In order to inform the army in the city that "the overall situation is in control"! Boost the morale of 30,000 soldiers!

Sure enough, there was an even more deafening shout in the city! A clarion call in response to this preliminary victory!

"Woo-woo-woo-woo-"

Suddenly, there was a rapid trumpet sound from the southeast, which was a signal for the enemy to counterattack!

Not long after the rapid whine sounded, the army of Shudu that was pursuing south quickly retreated to the west gate!

Several lieutenants hurriedly climbed up to the city tower and said anxiously to Yang Jian:

"Boss! Something is wrong! Tens of thousands of Qi troops poured into the south gate! ”

"Boss, please!"

“？？？”

This news directly stunned Yang Jian-

South Gate? Isn't that the direction of Xuzhou?

And south of Xuzhou is Tongzhou, it is reported that Tongzhou has been taken by the Yangzhou Road Army!

If nothing happens at this time, the Yangzhou Road Army should be fighting in Xuzhou!

How could so many Qi troops come from the south?!

"Pass the order! Withdraw from the West Gate! ”

In order to prevent the 30,000 troops from falling into the situation of being outnumbered by the enemy and attacking from both sides, Yang Jian decisively ordered the abandonment of Yanzhou!

Confront Yanzhou outside the West City Gate!

In this way, at least the troops will be saved and not killed and wounded in vain!

A quarter of an hour later, 30,000 troops confronted each other outside the city gates in siege formations!

And Yang Jian sat in the rear, looking at the map in front of him with an anxious face-

At the moment, for some reason, the Qi army in the direction of Xuzhou is not in Xuzhou to defend Xuzhou! Actually rushed to help Yanzhou?

What's the situation?!

Yang Jian, who is proficient in the art of war, directly can't understand what kind of operation this is!

And if you can't take Yanzhou quickly!

Just north of Yanzhou! But the capital of Qi!

Since ancient times, the royal family has had the inertia of leaving half of the forbidden army to defend the Beijing division!

If this battle is lost! It can't form a fence with Yangzhou Road!

Then his 30,000 army will be surrounded and suppressed by the Qi army that came to Yecheng's aid!

Yang Jian was in a hurry! He had already expected the outcome!

Unexpectedly, Xuzhou, which was surrounded by an army of 200,000! Unexpectedly backhanded to Yanzhou!

Such an unusual operation!

On the map, Yang Jian is focused on the known official roads around him, and these official roads must be strictly vigilant! Because if Yecheng sends troops, these official roads will be the most likely way to march!

The other thing is the mountains!

Most of Yanzhou is located in the plains, with very few mountains and fields, and the terrain is low-lying, so it is easy to be formed to attack, because there is almost no place to defend!

Although Mount Tai is the important place of the royal family since ancient times, it is also very short, and there is no shelter around Mount Tai.

If you choose to go up the mountain to ambush, once you are surrounded by the enemy, it will be difficult to carry out a military formation in the mountains, and the whole army will probably be wiped out on the mountain!

"Boss! Yanzhou is afraid that it will counterattack, so it is better to immediately ask Zhengzhou and Liangzhou for reinforcements......"

"Where are the soldiers in Liangzhou! And Zhengzhou is almost as far away from Yanzhou as Luoyang and Yanzhou! Even if there are soldiers! It will take five days to arrive at the earliest! ”

Yang Jian looked at Yutu impatiently, and impatiently reprimanded his subordinates rudely!

"Ah...... Yellow River? ”

When the eyes are focused on Jeju between Yecheng and Yanju, the Yellow River naturally comes into view.

"Vice General Zhang, listen to the order, immediately lead 100,000 forbidden troops, turn back to the southwest, and then change the route to the north! On the bank of the Yellow River, Yecheng reinforcements were delayed! ”

"How long can you stop, how long can you stop!"

"What?!" The lieutenant was simply frightened:

"At such a juncture, our army is only 30,000 troops! If you disperse the march again! I'm afraid ......"

"The military order is like a mountain! Execute it now! "Yang Jian has his thoughts-

The desire for victory has dissipated in his heart, and the battle merit is not the most important thing!

The most important thing is to use the only force to form a confrontation with Yanzhou for as long as possible!

Even if he fails to fulfill His Majesty's expectation of victory for him, at least he will not have a bad impact on the Yangzhou Road Army because of Yanzhou's failure!

"Yes, Boss."

Although Vice General Zhang did not agree with Yang Jian's calculations, he was more inclined to concentrate on Yanzhou and try to attack Yanzhou directly, rather than twisting and grinding like this and not attacking the target!

But the coach is Yang Jian! He can only obey orders!

……

In Tongzhou City, it can be described as a mess.

The sudden attack of the Zhou army not only scared away the 50,000 soldiers defending the city of Qi, but also scared the people in the city a lot.

But today's Ma Zhou is already an experienced secretary of the Department of Agriculture.

He ordered the government officials who came with him to shout over and over again, "Change the household registration and receive a thousand dollars" along the streets and even alleys.

Until finally some people dared to come out and try to change their household registration, and they really got a thousand relief money.

The news of shouting for truth spread rapidly throughout Tongzhou City at a speed of ten or ten hundreds.

The cooperation of the DPRK and the Central Committee was also very timely, and when the shops temporarily requisitioned for the replacement of the household registration office were surrounded by the people who had heard the news, and seeing that the relief money brought was not enough to cover the whole amount, Ma Changyuan sent support from Beijing arrived in time.

Every time the relief order is carried out, Ma Zhou's heart is full of pride and pride, and his whole body is full of strength.

This powerful and rich Great Zhou Empire is given behind it! He can personally feel the wealth and strength of this family and country!

"Hey, there are 190,000 households and more than 500,000 people in Tongzhou! It's more than the population of Yangzhou! ”

Ma Zhou was very puzzled why the Qi State, which had suffered defeats in battles, the people were struggling to make a living, and was burdened with the burden of forced labor and rent, had such a large population as the Zhou State.

While busy, Ma Zhou saw that the 2,000 forbidden troops left behind in Tongzhou were escorting a string of prisoners of war tied into grasshoppers and walking towards the south.

Because he was a civilian official and did not understand military affairs, out of curiosity, Ma Zhou stepped forward and politely asked the lieutenant who was in charge of escorting the prisoners of war:

"My lord, dare to ask these prisoners of war, what will you do with them?"

"Hahaha!"

When the lieutenant heard this, he burst into laughter without answering, and the horses and boats were stunned.

What's so funny? Is my question funny?
