No no!

There are still many tricks. For example, if intimidation doesn't work, just coerce.

This time, the Northern Expedition army arrived at the foot of Yongzhou City, which can also be called Anding County and can be regarded as the third city under Yao Qiang's rule.

The strategic position is also crucial.

Here, of course, Yao Chang has to arrange for the person he trusts most to guard it, and currently, this person is Yao Chang's younger brother, Yao Shuode.

Seeing the army arriving at the foot of Yongzhou City, Yao Chang, who had been struggling all the way and was mentally exhausted, suddenly became energetic.

There is no other reason, of course it is because I see hope of survival.

Yao Shuode.

This is someone you can count on.

Yongzhou City has always been a strong city and has strong military strength.

If they could maintain a stalemate with the Jin army here for a period of time, Yao Chang would have a chance of escaping.

When we got here, Yao Chang also saw it.

This young and energetic King Langya did not intend to kill him. He probably wanted to take Yao Chang as Yao Qiang's number one trophy and take him back to Jiankang City to receive a reward.

So, this gave Yao Chang the opportunity to dream.

As long as he is still breathing, he will never give in easily. Even if he is captured, it doesn't matter. As long as he has the ability to escape, he will be able to make a comeback.

Of course, it seems very inappropriate for Yao Chang to have such an idea.

Because, he seemed to have forgotten that along the way, many counties and counties that originally belonged to Yao Chang were occupied by the Jin army. It seemed that they did not give Yao Chang any face and had no intention of rescuing him.

It's ridiculous that the dignified Commander Yao Qiang has gotten to this point.

It seems that after all, guns and cannons are hard power. In the face of absolute hard power, what does it matter even if they are former subordinates?

Don't you just have to raise your hands and surrender obediently?

Rescue Yao Chang?

Don't be kidding, you don't have that ability at all.

However, if others are unreliable, Yao Shuode can still be counted on.

He will not ignore family ties, nor will he watch his brother die!

Well, Yao Chang thinks so, and Wang Mi thinks so too.

It was noon again one day, and the Northern Expedition army finally arrived at the foot of Yongzhou City. The army opened up its formation. Needless to say, it was absolutely impressive.

Along the way, the Northern Expedition army fought and won consecutive battles, and all the cities they saw were taken under their command.

How can such an impressive record not be exciting?

Therefore, it can be said that the current Northern Expedition army is more powerful than when it just set off from Jiankang City.

The combat effectiveness is stronger.

All we need is a trainer!

However, with such a powerful force in his hands, Wang Mi was not in a hurry to let the army launch an siege.

So what to do in a hurry?

The process now is quite fast, much faster than they had expected. Now, when they arrive at Yongzhou City, they naturally have to calm down and take their time.

On Yongzhou City, Yao Shuode stood among the warriors with a solemn expression.

On the city tower, military flags with huge Chinese characters written on them were placed on both sides of the city tower and turrets, dancing with the wind. However, the way they were flying was confusing, as if they had no spirit.

Wiggly, droopy.

Wang Mi, who had just arrived at Yongzhou City, did not fully understand the situation here. In fact, they had been stationed outside Yongzhou City for three days, but they did not get close to the tower.

In ancient times, when large armies set off on expeditions, it was very important to explore the route in advance. Because transportation was inconvenient, large armies often traveled long distances, and between the north and the south, they basically knew nothing about the geography and landforms of the other party.

Where to set up camp and where to set up an ambush are all things that need to be considered in advance, so a proper siege is necessary.

The same goes for Yao Shuode who is entrenched in the city. Of course he will not sit still and wait for death. As Yao Chang's biological brother, he sees the cities in front of him being captured by the Jin army one after another.

One can only imagine how capable the Jin army in front of them is.

As for the strength of the Qiang soldiers and whether they could withstand them, Yao Shuode also had an account in his mind, which was absolutely clear.

On the basis of the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, as the weaker party, going out of the city to gather information is an unavoidable step.

Wang Mi did not react to the various small moves made by Yao Qiang's troops. He accepted them happily and watched them if he wanted to.

Originally, the Jin army did not rely entirely on intelligence, relying on traps, but pure strength to crush the war. For example, now, the Jin army opened the door and let them watch these firearms at will, whether it is muskets or artillery, every one of them is included.

.

Look, look, look!

If you see it, what can you do?

Aren’t you still unable to learn to use firearms? Aren’t you still unable to imitate firearms?

This is the secret of Wang Mi's large-scale recruitment of troops, which is based on this time difference.

No matter what kind of weapon it is, as long as you have the ability to make it in this era, then it is reasonable to think that the other party can also make it.

However, all these operations require a process. For example, as for the production method, as long as we capture a few craftsmen of the Jin army and follow the same method, can we still produce it?

As for those craftsmen, although they did not know the principles of these so-called methods, the enemy did not need to pursue these things.

All they want is a real weapon, and they don't care at all about how the weapon is made.

Those things are not practical, and what the brothers urgently need now are just practical things.

However, it takes a lot of time to learn these techniques and produce finished products, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.

So, taking advantage of this free time, Wang Mi led his army to the Northern Expedition, which was equivalent to cutting off the process of these tribes learning to make artillery and muskets.

You haven't learned yet, but I've already taken over the whole city. Where is the room for you to operate?

Now Wang Mi has already made all preparations and will not give these tribal leaders a chance.

Now, the mission of the Northern Expedition army is to use the autumn wind to sweep down the fallen leaves, and quickly capture the cities in front of them.

As for Yao Shuode, he must have a very detailed knowledge of the previous records of the Beifu soldiers, and he also knew the balance of his own troops very well.

The most important thing is that Yao Xing and Yao Chang are both more capable beings. They can't defeat the Northern Expeditionary Army. How about Yao Shuode?

is it possible?

Does he have this ability?

The dead Yao Xing was already Yao Qiang's number one general. If he couldn't do it, who else could?

Even if the soldiers under his command believe it, Yao Shuode himself cannot believe in himself.

Therefore, it is understandable that he looks so gloomy now.

Even though his expression was a little unnatural, Wang Mi didn't need to think deeply about it. He had his own method regardless of whether he was good or bad.

Win the battle!

"With that, bring General Yao here!"

"Yes, the general will take your orders."

Tan Pingzhi jumped off his horse, quickly walked through the neat queue, and soon reached the back of the queue.

Although it looks like he is walking very fast, in fact, it takes about as long as a cup of tea.

This shows that the Northern Expedition army has sufficient strength.

Wang Mi always considered the overall situation when doing things. Attacking Qinzhou City, of course, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition were attrition.

However, after Qinzhou City is captured, the strong young people in this city will be enough to join the army.

This is also a standard form of ancient warfare. Many times, wars are fought to inject fresh blood.

Whether it is heads, weapons or armor, and of course the supplies of food and fodder that the troops urgently need, they can all be continuously supplied.

The purpose of attacking the next city is to quickly obtain replenishment in all aspects.

It can be said that wars in ancient times were either a complete victory and then turning the other party's remaining information into one's own, or a long-term stalemate. Such a battle was generally very costly for both sides.

type.

It is very likely that even if the city is captured, it will end in a lose-lose outcome for both parties, with neither party taking much advantage.

However, this kind of thing will naturally not happen to Beifu soldiers. So far, with the current strength of Beifu, they can only fight and win.

It's only for sweeping the battlefield.

It is absolutely impossible to suffer a loss when attacking a city.

After a while, Tan Pingzhi finally returned to the front of the queue, and Yao Shuode, who had been standing on the tower observing the situation, couldn't help but his pupils contracted violently.

"General Yao, if you want to save your elder brother's life, you'd better open the city gate as soon as possible!"
