Jiang Chao didn't know that Zheng An had yin him again, he was thinking about sending troops to relieve the siege of Zhoufu. For him, he didn't want to care about the affairs of the Great Zhao Dynasty.

However, he couldn't let Murong Palace go, this was not only Song Ningxue's brother-in-law, but also Murong Zhiqing's father.

His current relationship with Murong Zhiqing is already a little unclear, and if it is not good, Murong Gong is likely to become his father-in-law.

Now if he doesn't save him when he sees death, even if Murong Zhiqing doesn't blame him, Jiang Chao will not be happy in his heart.

It's just that it is not easy to relieve the siege of Zhoufu, first of all, Zhoufu is besieged by 200,000 troops. With his current strength, the gap between him and the 200,000 army is still too big.

If he hadn't planned it, he might have wiped out all of his troops. The family fund that I had saved with great difficulty was gone.

Even if he wants to go to Jiezhou Mansion, Jiang Chao has to think of a foolproof strategy.

On the Yelang clan's side, Jiang Chao transferred another 3,000 troops. Plus the 3,000 troops on the side of the mountain village. A total of 6,000 soldiers.

Jiang Chao left 1,000 troops to guard the mountain village, and the remaining 5,000 troops were led by him, and then led by the generals he trained in the Yelang clan.

They marched to Zhoufu in a hurry, and Jiang Chao also brought five artillery pieces and plenty of shells by the way.

Whether you can break the 200,000 army depends on these cannons. He didn't pay attention to the bandit troops in the other two counties of Anning.

With his recent prestige, the other two bandit armies in Anning County are afraid that they will not dare to attack the backer village.

Moreover, Jiang Chao has already asked Dong Liyue to send another 2,000 soldiers out of the Yelang clan, and there are still nearly 3,000 captives in the mountain village, after this period of brainwashing. The captives were almost naturalized.

Compared with the life in the bandits, the mountain village gave those bandits a great shock, especially the nearly 10,000 homeless people who were taken in here.

Most of the bandits also used to have families and rooms, and they also wanted to live a normal life. It's just that the court doesn't allow it. Those corrupt officials are not allowed.

In the end, it is those bandits who do not allow it. None of them were forced into the bandits' den. Now, who wouldn't want to live a life that is not stable, but relatively stable?!

After a period of training and life, these bandits have slowly returned to their hearts, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will fight to protect the mountain village.

On the other side, Jiang Chao led the army day and night, and finally arrived at the official road outside Ningzhou Mansion on the third day.

It's just that Jiang Chao was not in a hurry to let the army attack, he found a hiding place to set up camp. The first time is to observe the current situation of Ningzhou Mansion.

and the military intelligence here, at this time, the intelligence officers he trained played a crucial role.

By the evening, the intelligence officers had rushed back one after another, and everyone had brought their own news.

The four city gates of Ningzhou Mansion were occupied by the 100,000 troops of the Seven Bandits of Ningzhou on the southeast side, and the city gates on the northwest side were occupied by the bandit army of the White Lotus Sect.

The four city gates took turns to attack the city, and the 30,000 army of Ningzhou Mansion lost nearly 10,000 at this time. There are still 20,000 army left.

Reinforcements from the court had arrived from all four directions, but when the reinforcements arrived, they caught the bandit army of the Seven Bandits and the bandit army of the White Lotus Sect off guard.

All of them were defeated and retreated, and the nearly 100,000 troops that came from four directions were crushed. There is no way to solve the siege of Ningzhou Mansion at all.

The combat effectiveness of the army of the Great Zhao Dynasty really made Jiang Chao a little afraid to compliment. As long as there is a little will to fight, it will not be so badly defeated.

However, the bandit armies on both sides, I don't know if there are high-ranking people, they actually know how to surround the point and send reinforcements. Knowing that there were reinforcements, they sent superior forces to intercept them.

Then, together they besieged it. Plus the combat effectiveness of the reinforcements is extremely poor. Ningzhou Mansion held out for more than 20 days, but did not hold out until reinforcements came to relieve the siege.

Now, Jiang Chao is facing how to defeat these 200,000 troops, and if he does not defeat these armies, it is impossible to relieve the siege of Ningzhou Mansion.

It's just that he only has 5,000 troops at his disposal now. Compared to the other side, it is forty to one.

If one is not good, his 5,000 people may directly swallow the 200,000 army in front of him.

Moreover, the bandit army of the Seven Bandits and the bandit army of the White Lotus Sect are two separate camps, even if Jiang Chao can break the army of either camp, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not let the other camp take advantage of it.

Now, what worries Jiang Chao the most is that Ningzhou Mansion was almost breached during the siege of the city several times during the day.

Even if the enemy is defeated, but there is a phenomenon that the city is almost broken, it proves that the defenders of Ningzhou Mansion are almost at the limit.

It's not good, today or tomorrow, it is possible to be directly breached by the city wall during the siege. He couldn't drag it out any longer.

"Sir, what shall we do now!" Dongli Ying came to Jiang Chao, and now looked at Jiang Chao solemnly, and he looked at the army of seven bandits at the east gate.

Jiang Chao glanced at him and turned his gaze forward, with a coldness in his eyes.

Although the enemy's strength is several times his, it is not impossible to defeat him. Especially the bandit army on the side of the Seven Bandits.

"Eagle, do you know how these seven bandits have such a large military force now?!"

Jiang Chao did not answer Dongli Ying directly, but asked a question that puzzled Dongli Ying and the other Yelang clan generals.

Between the frowns, a thoughtful look appeared in the eyes of the generals of the Yelang clan.

Suddenly, Donglishan seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "I remember, when we escorted those homeless people back to the mountain village before, Brother Jiang, you said that the relatives of those homeless people were all taken away by the bandits. All those who were taken away were young and strong. In other words, most of the army of the Seven Bandits are captured outcasts! ”

As soon as Dongli Mountain's words came out, the others were also stunned, especially Dongli Ying, his eyes showed a strange look, his eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly said to Jiang Chao:

"I understand, what Mr. means is that as long as they can shake their military hearts, the army of the Seven Bandits is afraid that it will collapse when it is touched."

He is worthy of being Jiang Chao's favorite staff officer, as long as he grasps the key points, he will be able to know what Jiang Chao wants to say in an instant.

Jiang Chao really wanted to shake the military spirit of the Seven Bandit Army. Don't look at the army of the Seven Bandits has 100,000 people, but there are at least 50,000 troops among them, and they are those young and strong people who have been captured.

These people were forced here by the flood. Inexplicably, he was separated from his family and finally forced into a bandit den.

If you want to escape, you can't escape. In addition, they are already desperate, and it is better to have a bite to eat than to starve to death. Therefore, they stayed.

However, these people are afraid that none of them have a sense of belonging.
