Chapter Seventy-Six: Capture Chongzhou City

Xiao Fan ordered the army to step up training, and a month later they went into battle and approached Chongzhou City.

During this period, the emperor issued many holy decrees to urge Xiao Fan, asking him to start a war with the Dayan army as soon as possible.

A month later, Xiao Fan took action. Now Xiao Fan has more than 200,000 troops under his command, and he has mobilized 100,000 troops, 50,000 heavy cavalry and 50,000 other silver wolf cavalry soldiers to march into Chongzhou City.

When the guards of Chongzhou City saw the Yanwolf cavalry approaching the city, they were immediately shocked and hurriedly reported to the second prince Jin Bu.

"Haha, Xiao Fan, are you here to send you to death?"

Jin Bu stood on the city wall, his injuries had healed, and he was about to attack Jingzhou City again, but he didn't expect Xiao Fan to lead 100,000 people to attack the city first.

"Jin Bu, lead your soldiers to abandon their weapons and surrender, I can let you live!"

Xiao Fan rode on a black war horse and stared at the golden cloth from afar.

"Arrogance! Now that there are no five million wolves, it is simply whimsical that you army also want to recover this Chongzhou City!"

"Within half a day, Chongzhou City will be broken!" Xiao Fan's voice was like a bell, and it was heard far away, and then he ordered: "Blow the horn and attack the city!"

"Woo......"

The horn of war sounded, and the 100,000-strong army split into different formations and marched forward. The archers stopped two kilometers from the wall, the cavalry stopped behind the archers, and the infantry began to approach the walls and gates under the cover of their iron shields.

"In Chongzhou City, I have two or three hundred thousand soldiers, and you want to attack the city with only 100,000 people, which is really arrogant. Archers prepare, release the arrows!"

"Woo Woo ......"

Dense barrage of arrows shot from the city walls, covering the distance within a kilometer. The infantry marched in formation, their heads raised their iron shields, blocking the dense barrage of arrows.

"Marksman Battalion Archers prepare, release the arrows!"

"Sharpshooter crossbowmen prepare, shoot those shields on the walls!"

"Woo Woo ......"

The sky was full of arrows piercing through the air, making a dense and sharp sound of breaking through the air.

"Poof......

Blood continued to splash, two thousand meters apart, the Dayan defenders on the city wall were still pierced by arrows, and many people fell directly from the city wall.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The arrows of the crossbow arrows were shot at those fine iron shields, and at the beginning, the fine iron shields of Dayan's army could still be blocked, but as the number of arrows increased, the fine iron shields that were not made thick were finally broken.

"Poof, poof, poof!"

The sound of blood and screams were endless, the soldiers of the sharpshooter battalion under Xiao Fan's command were too fierce, shooting the Dayan guards two kilometers apart, and the crossbowmen were two kilometers away from each other, piercing through the fine iron shield of the Dayan shield soldiers and shooting them.

This kind of strength made the soldiers defending the city of Dayan panic in their hearts, and their morale plummeted, looking at the Longteng army that was about to approach the city wall and city gate under the cover of archers and crossbowmen, some of Dayan's soldiers already had the intention of retreating in their hearts.

"The soldiers obeyed the order and slammed the city gates!"

"Come on, hurry up and shoot the Longteng enemy army near the city gate, no matter what, you can't let them get close!"

Jin Butie ordered with a blushing face, and groups of Dayan soldiers continued to rush up the city wall, but the dense arrows fell, and countless people fell in pools of blood.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The gates shook, and they were struck with great force. The soldiers under Xiao Fan's command had already attacked the city gate and were slamming into the city gate.

"The flame wolf rode forward quickly, waited in formation at the city gate, and once the city gate was broken, immediately rushed in!"

"Boom!"

Fifty thousand flame wolves rode and rushed to the city gates. On the city wall, the Great Yan army kept rushing up, but they could not shoot the fire wolf riders and the soldiers who hit the city gate, because they were shot into a hornet's nest by arrows before they could draw their bows.

"Boom!!"

The gates were broken, and the soldiers who struck the gates quickly retreated to both sides, making way for the Flame Wolves.

"Soldiers, follow me and rush in!"

The deputy general Qin Han raised the spear in his hand and let out a long roar, and tens of thousands of flame wolf riders in the rear responded in unison.

"Kill!!"

Fifty thousand flame wolves rode like a torrent of steel and rushed directly into Chongzhou City. Jin Bu led the Iron Leopard Cavalry to meet the attack, wanting to block the Flame Wolf Cavalry here and kill the exit from the city.

"Woohoo......"

Ten thousand wolves roared in unison, and they were so frightened that those iron leopards trembled, the strength of the flame wolf was stronger than that of the iron leopard, and the roar was full of momentum, and the momentum of the iron leopard was suppressed in an instant.

"Array, rush over, kill all the Iron Leopard Riders!"

Qin Han drank heavily, and some school captains also drank, and the fire wolf riders were all enthusiastic, eager for the taste of blood, and rushed to kill frantically, and soon let more than 100,000 iron leopard riders flee in defeat.

"Come back, don't escape, give me a fight to the death!"

Jin Bu's eyes were blood-red, and he roared fiercely on the back of the leopard king.

"Second prince, Chongzhou City is over, let's retreat quickly, the fire wolf ride is too fierce. We will retreat to Yanzhou City, where there are still 400,000 Iron Leopard Riders, and then the Second Prince will lead 400,000 Iron Leopard Cavalry to take Chongzhou back!"

"Bastard! Bastard! 100,000 archers were defeated by Xiao Fan's 10,000 crossbowmen. More than 100,000 iron leopard riders, under the rush of 50,000 flame wolf riders, they collapsed in just a quarter of an hour, a group of rice buckets, rice buckets!"

The second prince Jin Bu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and after roaring a few times, he rushed to the north gate with some henchmen and generals, preparing to flee back to Yanzhou City.

"Kill!!"

The screams in Chongzhou City were endless, and there were corpses everywhere and blood everywhere. The people in the city did not dare to come out, and they all hid in the house and shivered, waiting for the shouts of killing outside to disappear before they dared to sneak out to check.

"Folks, in Xia Xiaofan, now that Chongzhou City has been taken by our army, you will no longer be oppressed by Dayan, you all come out and go to the Chongzhou City General's Mansion to get food. ”

"Wow!"

There was an uproar in the houses on both sides of the street, and soon many people appeared one after another, looking at Xiao Fan and the others excitedly, and said, "Are you General Xiao?

"Of course it's true, now each of your families goes to the general's mansion in the city to receive food according to the population ratio. Also, as long as my Xiao Fan's army has not withdrawn from this city, all taxes in the city will be reduced by three times on the basis of the past!"

"General, General Xiao, you are our reborn parents, saving us from the fire and exempting us from so many taxes!"

On the street, countless people shouted in unison, and they all knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was born in a small village and knew the suffering of the people. As for the issue of taxation, if the family is really in difficulty, it can be reported to the General's Mansion and all taxes will be exempted. All laws and regulations are based on the people's livelihood, and my Xiao Fan's army will try to make you live a good life every day in this city!"

"General Xiao treats us so well, let's hurry back and take out wine and meat to let the general's soldiers have a full meal." The soldiers must be tired from fighting bravely to kill the enemy, so let's go back and get wine and meat. ”

I don't know who said this, and suddenly countless people got up and wanted to go home to get wine and meat to give to the soldiers.

"Slow down! everyone's kindness Xiao Fan and the officers of the three armies have a heart, you live under the oppression of Dayan, life is very difficult, how can we ask for your things. Now let's go to the General's Mansion to get food, don't be crowded, everyone has a share. ”

After speaking, Xiao Fan left with the army and came to the Chongzhou City General's Mansion to reorganize the army, and by the way, let the soldiers have a good rest.

Xiao Fan took Chongzhou City in a few hours, and the good news was urgent, and soon it reached the imperial capital, and the emperor was first overjoyed, and then deeply worried. Xiao Fan's army is too strong, such combat effectiveness, it is really terrifying, and Zhao Songhui wants to kill Xiao Fan more and more.

Ten days later, the emperor issued a holy decree to Xiao Fan to divide his troops in the south, expel the Red Wind Empire army, and recover the lost territory in the south.

"General, the emperor is clearly trying to distract your strength!" Qin Han said, gritting his teeth.

Xiao Fan smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, Qin Han, you quickly return to Jingzhou City, hand over this letter to my second senior brother Cai Hexuan, and let him and his third senior brother Zhang Peng lead 50,000 horses to the ore vein garrison with you, and rush to Nanlin City after joining forces, and the Red Wind army will be handed over to you, I believe you will not let me down." ”

"Yes, General! The last general will definitely live up to the general's expectations, expel the Red Wind army, and regain the lost territory!"

Qin Han knelt down on one knee and said confidently.

"Well, of all the lieutenants, you have the best strategy and the most calm behavior, I believe you. However, I have to consult with my two senior brothers in everything, they are also wise men, and 100,000 elite soldiers should be enough to deal with the Red Wind army. I explained the matter of grain and grass in my letters, and my two senior brothers naturally knew what to do, and there were many Bigu Dan in the storage rings of the soldiers, which were completely enough to deal with any shortage of food due to unexpected circumstances. If everything goes well and there is no mistake in the issue of grain and grass, remember to distribute more grain to the people. Taxes are reduced by three times for each city reclaimed, and the people are not disturbed, and they are not allowed to accept gifts from the people, understand?"

"Yes, General!

"Go ahead. ”

Qin Han left Chongzhou City, and after returning to Jingzhou City, he handed over Xiao Fan's handwritten letter to Cai Hexuan. After seeing this, Cai Hexuan discussed with Zhang Peng, and then took 50,000 horses to the mine vein camp, joined the 50,000 flame wolf horsemen stationed there, and sent the troops south to the city.

In the following days, a large number of people took the initiative to join the army every day to join Xiao Fan's army. Of course, Xiao Fan was happy to reorganize the newly joined soldiers, and let him send people to send armaments and fire wolf and silver wolf mounts from Jingzhou City to train them.

Half a month later, good news came from Nanlincheng, Cai Hexuan, Zhang Peng and Qin Han led 100,000 soldiers to fight bravely, defeated the Red Wind army, and forced the Red Wind army to retreat to a city of more than 300 miles.

During this period of time, Xiao Fan asked people to train new soldiers, of course, veterans could not be idle, they practiced day and night, while he himself covered his body with the Sacred Domain of Time and Space, cultivated day by day, and cultivated to break through to the Five Heavens of the Innate Realm.
