Section 108 Coercion and Lure
At the point, the Wuzhou Army was not as skilled as others and was trapped step by step. On the surface, the Wuzhou Orchid Army and the Little Guard were not able to resist the Mei family soldiers, but the Mei family cleverly used the magic circles arranged around the house to offset the offensive launched by the Wuzhou Army.
The Zhouzhou army repeatedly broke through, but was repeatedly encountered traps and magic ambushed, and suffered heavy losses. Zhang Ting and Guo Yue were so heartbroken that they both said they were angry, but they were helpless.
Two men in Taoist costumes suppressed them tightly in martial arts. If it weren't for the support of other soldiers around, they would be afraid that they would be in danger.
However, the sacrifices of the sergeant of the Teeth Army and the pro-guard sergeant did not bring about a reversed situation. Mei's security guards on the mansion were much more stringent than that of the Tian family.
In Zhang Ting's opinion, this actually shows Mei's conservatism and inadvantage, but at this time it caused huge trouble to his offense.
However, Zhang Ting also knew that this was just a trapped beast of Mei. Even if he couldn't capture the Mei mansion, as long as he could trap the other party and let him be unable to escape, it would be the basic goal.
This is also what I considered when designing an offensive plan. As long as one end makes a breakthrough, the overall situation can be reversed.
Also at Ximen, the fierce battle is in full swing.
The first army led by Yang Kan defeated the Shouchun Ximen Camp in one fell swoop with a surprise attack.
After paying a heavy price, the Third Army of Shouzhou barely stood firm and did not collapse immediately. Relying on the Central Camp, he launched a fierce battle with the Hanzhou Army that had occupied the Front Camp.
Jiang Feng and Tian Chunrong walked straight to the water gate of Beicheng almost as fast as they were walking, and ran wildly along Shunhe Street.
In the eastern section of Shunhe Street, Deng Guinian and others had already begun to make final preparations for launching fire-like magic under the escort of the soldiers. Once the navy enters this section, the wooden houses along the line will be ignited by fire-like magic, thereby blocking the road to the Shouzhou navy to go south.
In the western section, the dense sound of horse hooves had already spread along the line of Shunhe Street. Qin Zaidao was carrying armor and helmets, leading the cavalry to line up and stand by, just waiting for the Shouzhou naval army in the water gate of the northern city to launch an attack once the Shouzhou navy in the water gate of the north city was out of camp.
When Tian Chunrong saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh, his heart was ashamed. He was a little reluctant and unwilling to accept it. He had already been abandoned. Once the Shouzhou navy abandoned the ship and went ashore to reinforce the West Gate and South Gate, the entire western section would be completely burned. These magicians obviously waited for the Shouzhou navy to enter this area before setting fire, and might even wait until your front entry to start fire prevention and cut it off in half.
When Tian Chunrong saw the cavalry of the Xuzhou lined up and was ready to go, he was convinced that the Xuzhou side had always done its preparations to this extent, which was obviously not a day or two.
The entire Shouchun City is well known to the inside and outside of the entire Shouchun City, which means that the Shouzhou has long been thinking about Shouzhou. This is not a temporary conclusion that the Zheng family can come to the door to hook up with a sudden idea.
The group came to the entrance of the Shuiying Camp in the Shuimen Gate in the North City. When they saw that the Shuiying Camp was also brightly lit, the remaining fires inside and outside the fence were not extinguished, and some soldiers were extinguishing the fire, and the camp was full of shadows. It was obvious that the navy had been urgently mobilized.
Before Tian Chunrong could call the door, the gate of the Shuiying Camp was already wide open. At the beginning, several cavalry had already rushed out, followed by the Shouzhou navy lined out. Although it was a little panicked, it could still maintain its formation.
With a sigh, Tian Chunrong took a step forward, "Chuntong, stop!"
"Ah, brother?! Are you really here? What happened?" The general in the first place looked at the patriarch suspiciously, "Brother, who are they?"
"Chuntong, please order the troops to return to the camp first." Tian Chunrong was also a little sad, shook his head, and raised his voice: "Order them to return to the camp first!"
The general was a little confused, "Brother, what happened? We were attacked by the enemy rockets just now, and we haven't had time to extinguish it yet, but the killing sounds from the South Gate and the West Gate are shocking. We are going to reinforce us!"
"This, you order the army to return to the camp first, and I will explain to you!" Tian Chunrong also knew that it was not appropriate to explain to his fourth brother at this time, but he had to answer.
"No, brother, who are these people behind you? They are holding you hostage? Come here quickly, the archer is ready!" The general also saw some clues. The elder brother's abnormal performance was obviously related to the people hidden in the shadow, and shouted angrily.
"Chuntong! You don't understand what's not!" Tian Chunrong knew that his words could not relieve the other party's suspicion, and glanced at Jiang Feng behind him.
Jiang Feng didn't expect this scene to happen. After pondering for a moment, he stood up: "Are you Tian Chuntong, the commander of the Third Army of Shouzhou?"
"That's right, who are you?" Tian Chuntong waved his hand to stop the crossbowmen who were about to be fired, and his eyes were directly on the majestic and graceful man.
Although there was no abnormality in the clothes, the other party walked out and stood up, and Yue Zhi immediately made people feel the momentum that was coming to their faces.
"I am the new Guardian of the Imperial Court, Jiang Feng, the governor of Shizhou. Today, I will take over the defense of Shouzhou and ask the Umeda family to immediately put down their weapons and wait for the order!"
Jiang Feng's voice is clear and clear, neither high nor low, but it allows everyone present to hear it clearly.
"Guangyu Shou's defense and guard commander?! Governor of the Qingzhou?" The general subconsciously pulled the horse and clamped the horse's belly. He asked in disbelief: "Zhizhou Army? Are you Jiang Feng?"
“Bold!”
"I am Jiang Feng!" Hearing the other party calling Jiang Feng's life, the guards behind him were furious. Jiang Feng waved his hand to stop the explosion of the guards and said calmly: "Today we come with Lord Tian, we just don't want to happen that no one wants to see. I hope Commander Tian will follow the overall situation and obey my order!"
The general didn't know what to do for a moment. He had never heard of Guangxu's defense and guard envoy, but the person in front of him was definitely Jiang Feng, the new governor of Wenzhou. This momentum was not something that anyone could pretend to be. But can he obey such an order?
Seeing that his fourth brother's aura had been suppressed by Jiang Feng, Tian Chunrong shook his head: "Chuntong, please obey Lord Jiang's orders and let the soldiers respond to standby."
"Brother, are they holding our Tian family hostage?" The general hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked fiercely.
"Enough, Chuntong, I am still the patriarch of the Tian clan. I will ask you to bring troops back to the camp immediately. Lord Jiang, can you go back to the camp with your fourth brother?" Tian Chunrong suddenly roared and then turned around and asked.
"Of course, I hope Lord Tian can have a good talk with Commander Tian, and believe we can reach a consensus." Jiang Feng looked at Tian Chunrong deeply and nodded in agreement.
He believed that Tian Chunrong's wisdom was enough to be able to sit in the position of the patriarch of the Tian clan. If the other party really did not understand the current affairs, he would not mind destroying the Tian clan.
...
After listening to Tian Chunrong's introduction, Tian Chuntong sighed to the sky.
Things have come to this point and cannot be reversed.
The Xuzhou army obtained the inner support of the Zheng family and entered the city with lightning speed. They immediately launched an attack on the armies. They were arranged so carefully to block the navy's reinforcements and encircle the Umeda family. It was clearly to make it difficult for you to take care of the beginning and end and make decisions.
Of course, Tian Chuntong was not a person who could not see the situation clearly. Now that he had decided to surrender, what he had to consider was how to win the greatest interests for the Tian family.
Zheng's actions today will obviously win the best interests for him. The Zheng family took the lead in the three surnames Shouzhou. If the Tian family does not follow suit, if the Mei family suddenly surrenders, I am afraid that Shouzhou will not have a foothold in the Tian family.
"Brother, can Mei family surrender?" Tian Chuntong paced back and forth in the tent, "Will Jiang Feng obey his promise?"
"If the Mei family does not surrender, I think Jiang Feng might follow his promise, but if the Mei family surrenders, it is hard to say." Tian Chunrong thought for a while and said slowly.
Tian Chuntong was stunned for a moment and immediately understood.
If the Mei family does not surrender and is destroyed, then Jiang Feng, as an outsider, will definitely not tolerate the Zheng family as the dominant one in Shouzhou, and will definitely support the Tian family to compete with the Zheng family, so as to ensure that its dominance in Shouzhou is not affected.
If the Mei family surrenders, it is hard to say whether Jiang Feng will change his mind and use the Mei family to curb the Zheng family.
Especially from Jiang Feng's previous actions, it can be seen that his emphasis on the navy means that Jiang Feng may intend to use the navy to control the Huai River, and the water transportation force of the Mei family along the Huai River is stronger than that of the Tian family, which is exactly what Jiang Feng values the most.
"What should we do?"
"We have no choice but to hope that Jiang Feng will keep his promise. However, even if Mei family surrenders, it depends on Jiang Feng's intentions in the future. If he only stops in Shouzhou, it doesn't need to be said. If he has greater ambitions, it may be our chance."
Tian Chunrong found that his thinking was extremely clear and calm at this time, and many problems that he had never thought clearly before were suddenly solved.
Jiang Feng so hardworkingly surrounded the Umeda family's mansions, obviously because he had the intention of forcing the Umeda family to surrender. Although this meant to defeat the enemy without fighting, Tian Chunrong felt that Jiang Feng's greater intention was to take down the Shouzhou naval army.
This can be seen from his attitude towards the Shouzhou infantry and naval army. In fact, the one who decides the outcome at this time should be the infantry rather than the naval army, but he has to personally join him in subdue the naval army.
"Greater ambition?" Tian Chuntong looked at his brother's face and slowly recalled: "Brother, are you saying that he wants to control and make a difference with the help of the Shouzhou navy? Is he too much appetite, and then he is planning to find something else? Haozhou or Yingzhou?"
