"My lord," replied the lieutenant after a long hearty laugh before he restrained his laughter, but replied with a happy face on his face:

"These prisoners of war are all money, a prisoner of war, a reward of 100 yuan!"

"More than 5,000 prisoners of war were taken in this battle! Hahaha! ”

"That's half a million dollars!"

"Hahahaha!"

The "......" horse boat has a black line, it turned out to be because of the reward regulations in the meritorious reward system, although it is indeed quite a lot of money, but it will not laugh like this......

Ma Zhou smiled awkwardly, and was just about to leave, when the lieutenant smiled again and said:

"These prisoners of war, those who are willing to surrender will be retained, and those who are unwilling will be naturalized as Zhou Guogong on the spot and sent to the Zhuzhu Prison as laborers."

"Look at them, their faces are all blue, even if the people of my Zhou State don't mind, they have been under the military system for a long time, and they can't change the habits and cognitions they learned under the rule of Qi in the past in a short time."

"Even if they are released as farmers and land on the spot, they will not dare to come out of the street and show their heads."

"I see," Ma Zhou thought to himself, it's good not to kill, this group of prisoners of war who are tied up in strings of grasshoppers look quite pitiful:

"Then don't bother the adults."

The two bowed to each other, and then went their separate ways.

……

Outside Xuzhou City, Yuwen Shihong squinted at the south gate of Xuzhou, his eyes were slightly frivolous, as if to say-

Just Xuzhou, in a snap of a finger, it will be mine.

However, the result was still beyond Yuwen Shihong's expectations-

took Xuzhou City, and almost didn't even spend a snap of his fingers.

After the siege array broke through the city gate, as soon as the army entered the city, did it observe that the entire Xuzhou City was like an empty city unguarded?

"Huh?" Before Yuwen Shihong could blurt out his doubts, his brain reacted faster than his mouth!

"It's broken!"

He hurriedly pulled out the military map from his back waist!

Finger pointed directly at Yanzhou——

Yanzhou is an important midpoint state city to defend the Qilu Peninsula!

Presumably, the Qi State took into account that if Yanzhou was lost, it would lose the entire Qilu Peninsula with five states.

So the troops are concentrated in Yanzhou?

Yuwen Shihong suddenly realized that although the Qi State was not worth mentioning, it could not be so lightly defeated! Such negligence!

However, at this time, it was February 25, and Yang Jian only led 30,000 forbidden troops, how could he deal with the concentrated counterattack of Qi State?

Emaciated camels are bigger than horses! The dying Qi State, even if it only relies on the government military system, can have at least 300,000 or more than 500,000 troops at any time!

Thinking that Yang Jian had been fighting alone in Yanzhou for ten days!

And he galloped from Xuzhou to Yanzhou, and it took at least five days to march at the fastest speed!

He doesn't care about the urgent side-by-side things! Immediately order an army of 200,000 to assemble quickly!

Quickly open Yanzhou!

……

On the other side, Yang Jian felt that he was dying.

Almost at the end of his rope, he finally led 20,000 troops to Mount Tai!

Take advantage of the only height of Mount Tai to condescendingly resist the Qi army that is encircled from all directions!

Luckily, the firebolt is powerful! And by the mountains! Even throwing stones can kill a large number of Qi troops who climbed up to suppress them!

Danger and danger in this way, with more victories and less to guard on the "small" hill of Mount Tai.

At the beginning, Yang Jian didn't dare to assert what the enemy's situation was, and after a few days of intensive defensive battles, he had to face a reality-

Now with Yanzhou as a basis, the Qi army that is constantly outflanking him is at least 100,000 people!

As long as the Qi army continues to attack him! With his 20,000 troops, he can't even sleep!

Spend it like this again! Even if there is enough food and grass!

If you don't sleep, you're going to trap his soldiers!

"The whole army obeys the order! Ten capitals and one army! Every three hours! The two armies alternately defended! ”

"Your Majesty's Majesty! Soon we will be recruiting in person! ”

"Taishan bless me with the victory of the Great Zhou!"

With the sunset and sunrise alternating, Yang Jian fell asleep standing many times.

Even as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that a large number of Qi troops were densely pressed at the foot of the mountain! All with arrows in hand!

If it weren't for the lieutenant general who narrowly blocked the arrow several times, Yang Jian would have to have a few more holes on his body!

"Boss! 100,000 urgent! ”

The bad news came from the north slope of Mount Tai, and Yang Jian's heart suddenly became even colder and heavier.

"The north bank of the Yellow River was densely packed with ships four days ago! I'm coming across to the south bank! ”

"10,000 troops have limited ability to delay! It has been retraced while resisting! ”

"In less than three days, the forbidden army in the capital of Qi will be killed!"

"Boss, please!"

"Three days ......" When Yang Jian heard the news, he remembered that he almost lost his hair in an instant.

NVC's flaming thoughts raced through his mind.

Before long, Yang Jian coldly boiled his dark face, and ordered to the messenger scout:

"Spread the message to the past, so that they exhausted the marching strategies such as attacking the east and west, diverting the tiger from the mountain, and secretly Chen Cang! Do your best to delay the enemy's approach towards Yanzhou! ”

"At least delay Ben Shuai for ten days!"

As soon as he heard this, the scout's heart wanted to die.

10,000 troops facing at least 100,000 Qi State Forbidden Army in Beijing, ten days!

It's a fantasy!

But he can only take his life! Then go all the way down the north slope of Mount Tai and return the military order!

"I, Yang Jian, am I going to be trapped and die on the top of Mount Tai?"

This was a slander in his heart, not a word that would hurt his morale.

Earlier, he also wanted to increase his military merits to become a knight.

Looking at the current situation, that delusion is simply ridiculous.

"Boss...... The projectiles of the various capitals are almost exhausted, how is it good? ”

……

On the other side, Yuwen Shihong didn't care about trekking the whole army on foot for the sake of a surprise attack!

Most of the pioneers can ride horses, day and night!

It would have taken at least five days to complete! Yuwen Shihong led the vanguard army of less than 10,000 and took the lead in killing the south gate of Yanzhou! Most of the 190,000 people will arrive one after another!

Worried that 30,000 forbidden troops will die due to his negligence! Yuwen Shihong even saved the arrangement of troops!

Directly lead the majority of the head, and surround the Yanzhou City Tower in a grand manner! Rush in the direction of the West Gate!

Yang Jian was already leading the army, digging stones and smashing people.

Finally smashed back a wave of attacking enemy troops, knowing in his heart that the next wave was about to follow Yang Jian.

Suddenly realized that the next wave is coming, and it has not yet arrived?

Could it be that His Majesty has led his troops over?

It is impossible, in just half a month, it will take more than ten days just to march, and it will take more than ten days to siege the city, deploy defenses, and provide relief to the people.

Even if His Majesty came to Yanzhou for a month, Yang Jian felt that it was too fast.

"Whew-"

"Woo-woo-"

Suddenly, in the distance to the southeast, there was a faint sound of all elongated horns?

Yang Jian understood that this was a clarion call for reinforcements to arrive.

"Isn't that right?"

"Reinforcements?!"

Yang Jian, who was trapped by lack of sleep to the point of dull brain, woke up in an instant!

"Reinforcements have arrived! Reinforcements have arrived! ”

"The army obeys! Replace the saber! ”

"Follow the direction of the flag! Hand-to-hand combat down the mountain! ”
