Tian Yu and Su Jun led the soldiers one after the other, and in the middle, the people walked in the middle with small carts or wheelbarrows pushing boxes of supplies, and all the people in the group walked on the road to Youzhou.

Su Jun looked at Zhao An's eyes, but he was really shocked.

Because he really couldn't imagine that he and the others were obviously attacking Youzhou, how could they get such amazing help from the local people, which was already regarded as eating pot pulp to welcome the king.

But the problem is that Su Jun knows very well that Liu Tai has no ruling foundation here, so why does he get so much support.

The only thing Su Jun thought of was Zhao An, how could this organizational ability not make Su Jun feel shocked!

"What the hell is going on with these people? If they're willing to help us cover up, I'm going to believe it.

But I absolutely don't believe that such an astonishing number of conscripts can be organized to help us deliver all kinds of supplies to Youzhou City! ”

Tian Yu looked at Zhao An at the moment, although the development of the situation was really beneficial to him, but this benefit came too inexplicably.

"Where should I start...... Zhao An thought for a moment and said,

"You know that I was ordered to burn Wang Jun's autumn harvest, and it was this attack that became the trigger for us to fight Wang Jun!"

"Of course I know!" Tian Yu nodded, after all, no one on Liu Tai's side didn't know about this matter.

Zhao An nodded, and continued: "At the beginning, I listened to the advice of our army staff officers, borrowed the grain stored by burning Wang Jun as a cover, and reached a cooperation agreement with some local families. ”

"And then these families continue to work with us?" Tian Yu couldn't help but say.

"It's not. Later, Wang Jun did not need grain and grass for sending troops, and these families who embezzled grain and grass handed over enough grain and grass to be reused by Wang Jun.

On the contrary, those families who did not cooperate with us, because they did not have enough food and grass to hand in, were persecuted by Wang Jun's subordinate called Zao Song, and most of them fled to these remote areas! ”

"But what does that have to do with us?" When Tian Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"There is below, during this time, Wang Jun's army began to forcibly recruit people into the army, which was originally only around Youzhou City, but recently it has become more and more permeated to the surrounding villages.

For these families who have been driven to the fringe areas, their property has been looted by Zao Song many times, and if the family's manpower is forcibly requisitioned again, then there is really no power to protect their own family, how can they survive in such troubled times.

But they were afraid of Wang Jun's force and didn't dare to rebel, so they chose to cooperate with us! ”

"These people are what they provide!" Tian Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Not really!" Zhao An shook his head and said, "They put together a sum of food and counted the rations of these people."

These people told them because I asked my subordinates to tell them that as long as our army of Liu Jungong conquered Youzhou, then the acres of land in their hands would be held steadily, and they would be the people protected by our army in the future.

If we are defeated by Wang Jun, then some acres of land will be taken back by Wang Jun's army, and they will be pulled by Wang Jun to be strong men, and their family's grain will be filled with hunger by Wang Jun.

So they came to help! ”

"I see!" Hearing this, Tian Yu nodded, feeling a little helped.

Just as Tian Yu's army was rapidly advancing towards Youzhou City, the surrounding counties directly avoided it, and rushed to Youzhou City in one breath.

At this moment, Wang Yi was counting the grain and grass with a solemn face, to be honest, he calculated and calculated, but found that this grain and grass was only supplied to spring ploughing at most.

But Wang Jun didn't care about this at all, and he was still asking for conscription in the rear, and Wang Yi didn't know what Wang Yi wanted so many soldiers to do.

As far as the whole strategy is concerned, Wang Jun knows better than Wang Yi, because Wang Jun knows very well that Zao Song forcibly integrated Youzhou together and forced out the grain, grass and soldiers in the Youzhou Shi clan.

This shows that he can't afford to lose this war, if he loses, then there is really nothing, but if he wins, then he wants grain and grass Qingzhou.

Therefore, Wang Jun dared to use this trick to accumulate soldiers, or he had to kill Liu Tai in one go.

It's just that because Wang Yi opposed Wang Jun to be the emperor, Wang Jun needed Wang Yi to manage the logistics due to external reasons, but he was somewhat estranged from Wang Yi and did not tell Wang Yi about the overall plan.

In such a situation, although Wang Yi is still working diligently, after all, as long as Wang Jun has not yet been proclaimed emperor, Wang Yi is willing to reluctantly cooperate with each other for the sake of the Jin court!

It's just that just when Wang Yi was calculating where he should squeeze out the next batch of grain, he saw Wang Chang break into Wang Yi's office in a panic, Wang Yi looked at Wang Chang's panicked appearance and said, "Wang Duhu, why are you panicking?" ”

"Qi Yu Taishou, you come to the city gate with me and take a look, Liu Tai's army has come to my Youzhou City!" Wang Chang couldn't help but say.

"This ...... How can it be?! Hearing this, Wang Yi's face changed, "How did they come!" Ordered to close the gate of Youzhou City, don't let the enemy army enter Youzhou City! ”

"Before I came, I had already ordered the city gate to be closed and soldiers gathered, but I still need to be too shou to preside over the overall situation!" Wang Changdao.

Wang Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Wang Chang's words.

In any case, Wang Jun did a good job of leaving Wang Chang to defend the city before leaving, Wang Chang is an experienced veteran, which makes Wang Yi a lot easier.

"Please rest assured, the general is full of food and soldiers in Youzhou City, as long as we defend the city, we will definitely not be able to attack it in a short time!"

Wang Yi stabilized his mind at this time and said, "And I immediately wrote to Wang Dudu, asking him to send troops to attack on both sides, and I will definitely let the Liu Tai army from Qingzhou come and go." ”

When Wang Chang heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Taishou you have forgotten that our elite soldiers who originally defended the city have been disguised as troops escorting grain and grass to Jizhou due to the order of Wang Dudu.

Now most of the people in the city are newly recruited soldiers.

If not, why should I be so nervous to come to you to discuss countermeasures as soon as I detect the enemy! ”

When Wang Yi heard Wang Chang's words, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and glanced at Wang Chang fiercely.

This kind of thing can't be seen through, but if you think about it, it's just me and him here, it's really helpless.

Wang Yi followed Wang Chang with the county soldiers of Youzhou City, all the way to the direction of the city wall.

Because Wang Chang was under martial law beforehand, the entire street was already quiet.

Wang Yi was still calm and calm at the moment, climbed the steps under the city wall, and continued to comfort Wang Chang:

"The enemy army came from afar, although we don't know how the other party came, but at such a distance the other party is only cavalry, and there are not many of them, our Youzhou city is strong, as long as the city is united, it will definitely be able to ......"

Wang Yi stood on the city wall at this time, looking down at the black city in the distance, which could be described as a sea of people.

"Repelling a strong enemy." Wang Yi's voice became smaller and smaller, and at this moment, looking at the black crowd, it was incredible:

"Where did they get so many people, did the king just let these people cross the border?!"

"Some of them are local people, and some of them are some local families who were expelled from Youzhou City in the first place.

They obviously saw that Liu Tai's army was powerful, so they chose to join in! Wang Chang said helplessly.

"It's all Zao Song's guilt, how could such a situation happen if he hadn't forced it!" Wang Yi couldn't help but grit his teeth.

At this time, he saw Li Nong beating his horses, coming to the city wall and roaring:

"Listen to the people in Youzhou City, give you half an hour, if you open the door and surrender, you will still retain your original position without losing your wealth, if you stubbornly resist, wait until Youzhou City is breached, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Hearing this, Wang Chang raised the bow and arrow in his hand and shot at Li Nong.

Li Nong's eyes were sharp, and his reaction was extremely fast, so he decisively lay on the horse to avoid it, and then fled back in a little embarrassment.

However, Li Nong will definitely be promoted when he comes back this time, otherwise Tian Yu will not let Li Nong call the door this time.

Seeing the attitude of the people in Youzhou City, Tian Yu didn't talk much, and immediately asked the soldiers to start building siege weapons.

Wang Yi looked at the periphery of Liu Tai's army below without attacking, and when he saw that the time of half an hour was approaching, his heart slowly lifted.

Although he panicked in his heart, he still forcibly found a reason to comfort himself:

"Although Liu Tai's army is numerous, our Youzhou city is also high and thick-walled.

They came by force today, and they didn't have siege weapons in their hands, so it was impossible to take this Youzhou City in a short time.

We will hold this first wave of attack first, and the follow-up soldiers will be familiar with the rhythm, and they will definitely be safe! ”

"Taishou, I think you better go to the back to appease the people, I always feel that your mouth is very evil today!" Wang Changdao.

Wang Yi couldn't help blushing when he heard Wang Chang's words, he just wanted to struggle for something, but this Tian Yu had already asked the soldiers to push out more than a dozen trench bridge cars, as well as dozens of ladder trucks appeared under the city wall.

With the moat on the moat bridge and the ladder on the city wall, there are only sporadic arrows on the city wall to resist.

At this moment, Tian Yu commanded the army to go forward one after another, and some rushing cars had already begun to hit the gate.

Youzhou City's defense is weak, and it can even be said that it will collapse with one blow, and this is also a matter of course.

One is that this is really Wang Jun's rear, Wang Jun never thought that this place would be attacked, so he can dispatch soldiers to the front line without any scruples, and now the remaining soldiers are not elite at all.

Second, even if it is the defending side, it needs to be prepared in advance.

Don't say it, for example, the stones need to be transported to the city wall in advance, the gold juice needs to be steamed in advance, and even if you want to use the urn city to really form a situation of catching turtles in the urn, you need to send an elite army to ambush on the side of the urn city in advance to prepare, and wait until the enemy army comes in to flank the attack!

That's why Tian Yu has always emphasized the speed of the attack.

Because the faster the speed of the attack, the shorter the preparation time left for the opponent, the stronger the results that can be brought into play by this raid, and the more it can catch the opponent off guard.

As Wang Jun quickly commanded his soldiers to attack the city, unlike the normal siege rhythm, he had to go to the next door to cut wood for more than ten days, first to build siege weapons and then deal with Youzhou City.

It can be said that there is not much time for Wang Chang to build defenses and for Wang Yi to agitate the people.

As the iron hook at the tip of the ladder hung on the city wall, the soldiers under Tian Yu's command rushed to the city one after another.

For Tian Yu's army, the price to be paid for such a thing as a siege was well understood.

They knew very well that if they couldn't take it today, they guessed that they were really suffering, so they all took the lead.

But for Wang Chang's corporals, most of them are not veterans and elites, but farmers who have been forcibly recruited.

It's just that they need to go through a relatively preliminary training here, and then send them to Wang Jun's military camp.

This kind of siege battle, which was extremely tragic as soon as it came up, Tian Yu's command was prepared, but Wang Chang's command did not have it at all.

Therefore, after Tian Yu's soldiers climbed the city wall and killed a few soldiers, Wang Chang's subordinates almost dispersed.

At this time, Wang Chang took out his sword and couldn't stop this rout even if he killed several people, knowing that there was no way to recover the situation in front of him.

Wang Chang couldn't help sighing, and he didn't want to be captured by Liu Tai's army, so he drew his sword and killed himself!

And Wang Yi naturally couldn't kill himself for Wang Jun, but he didn't expect that Youzhou City had a strong city, but he didn't even defend the city for a day, and his face was pale, and then he was captured by Li Nong and his soldiers.

Tian Yu, Su Jun and Li Nong came to the city and saw Wang Chang's self-killed corpse, but the guards around him did not leave, but just stayed by Wang Chang's side and guarded Wang Chang's corpse.

"The two armies are their own masters, regardless of right or wrong, now that General Wang Chang has killed himself, let me wait for him to be buried alive!"

Tian Yu looked at Wang Chang's self-slaughter, but expressed his respect for the guards guarding Wang Chang's body.

When these Wang Chang's guards heard this, they also decisively dropped their weapons and made way for a way.

At this time, Zhao An saw that Wang Chang was dead, Wang Yi was captured, and Youzhou City was successfully taken, and said:

"Youzhou City has been successfully taken, and we also need to inform the county prince of this matter, so that the county prince can start acting!"

"Huh?" When Tian Yu heard this, he looked at Zhao An with some curiosity and said, "How to deliver the news?" ”

Zhao An smiled and mysteriously said a few words to the people around him, but saw that this person immediately mounted a horse and ran quickly outside the city.

Tian Yu was a little stunned when he saw this scene, thinking that Zhao An wanted to use horses to quickly transmit information.

But soon, a puff of crimson smoke wafted from his barracks.

The smoke filled the sky, and with the crimson smoke, pillars of smoke rose one after another, reaching beyond the horizon, to a place that he could no longer see.

"Beacon?!" When Tian Yu saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but lose his mind.

"We've been lurking in the rear for the past two months, and it's not like we haven't done anything!" Zhao An said proudly,

"The endless beacon fire along the way is our report to the county magistrate!"

"Good!" Tian Yu said excitedly, "Let's go to the arsenal first, and then go to control the families of Wang Jun's army!" ”
