In front of the well-prepared player gunboats, Yuguan only defended it for half a day before the player's gunboats blasted open the city wall near the sea.
Yu Chixin commanded Bohai's subordinates to climb up the broken city wall first. Dahong, the crown prince of Bohai Kingdom, took the lead in rushing into Yuguan in person, risking his own arrows.
Cai Wenbin only had 2,000 defenders at his disposal, and he was so frightened by the Tang army's gunboats that he couldn't even defeat the Bohai Kingdom's retinue army.
By the time the player's army lines up neatly on the beach and enters Yuguan, the battle is over.
Yuchixin arranged for his subordinates to collect the surrendered troops, and sent his subordinates to take over the north and south city gates. At this time, the Bohai Crown Prince Dahonglin escorted the Yuguan guard Cai Wenbin to Yuchixin.
Cai Wenbin saw Yu Chixin dressed in Tang Army uniforms, and looked at the players wearing Tang Army uniforms around him in surprise, feeling extremely horrified in his heart.
Where did the Tang army come from in Yuguan? Could it be that Pinglu Town discovered his brother's intention and launched a surprise attack on Yuguan?
Impossible? If Pinglu Town has such powerful weapons, it is impossible for it to always be at the bottom among the three towns.
Yu Chixin had already prepared to kill Cai Wenbin, so he made him understand and said:
"I am an army horse under the command of the King of Yue, and I have been granted the king's order to put down the rebellion in the two towns of Fanyang and Taiyuan!"
King of Yue, it took Cai Wenbin a long time to remember the King of Yue who was granted the title of Longyou. Wait, weren’t you granted the title of Longyou? How did you appear in Yuguan?
Yu Chixin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and directly ordered the soldiers around him: "According to the king's order, all rebel generals in the three towns in Hedong will not be pardoned. Kill him and hang him on the north city gate!"
Then Yu Chixin said to another dusty player next to him: "It's the engineer battalion's turn to take action."
"Don't worry, general, our engineering battalion will definitely repair the city wall!"
After saying this, the player led the players in the engineering battalion to begin repairing the city gates and walls that were damaged by Cai Wenbin's desperate efforts. Then they ordered eight cannons from the fleet to be installed on the north and south walls of Yuguan.
Yu Chixin began to inspect Yuguan, and asked the scout troops to go out of the city to find out the positions of the two armies, one in the south and one in the north, from Yuguan.
When attacking Yuguan, some soldiers naturally escaped. I am afraid that Cai Wenjing's troops will turn back in less than a day and attack Yuguan together with Shi Chaoyi's troops.
Therefore, Yu Chixin must strengthen the city defenses as much as possible in this short period of time and defend Yuguan for a while. As long as it takes a while, Shi Chaoyi will inevitably retreat.
Yuchixin had this strategic judgment. Now for Shi Jia and his son, going south to annex the remnants of An Qingxu, or even to attack Luoyang is the biggest strategic goal.
Shi Chaoyi went north just to hunt rabbits. If Yuguan was strong and difficult to attack, Shi Chaoyi would definitely not waste his energy on Pinglu Town. How could occupying Pinglu Town in the ice and snow be better than going south to seize the precious land of Shandong?
With the natural danger of Yuguan, it is definitely not a problem to hold on for a few months, but Shi Chaoyi cannot afford to delay it for such a long time!
Once Shi Chaoyi retreats, the player can leave Yuguan to destroy Cai Wenjing's troops heading north and completely control Pinglu Town.
Yu Chixin's idea was good, but he didn't expect that Fan Yangjun also had his own script.
After receiving the news that Yuguan had fallen and his brother who was guarding Yuguan had died in battle, Cai Wenjing showed no trace of sadness on his face.
He did not follow Yu Chixin's estimate and go south again to join forces with Shi Chaoyi to recapture Yuguan. Instead, he urged the soldiers to continue north to Yingzhou and attack directly at the base camp of the Pinglu Army.
Wu Dayong, who was lurking in Cai Wenjing's army, immediately informed Yu Chixin of this information.
Yu Chixin couldn't help but sigh. Although Cai Wenjing only left one or two records in the history books, it is really not easy for people to be included in the history books.
If Cai Wenjing quickly captures Yingzhou City, this family-changing tactic will really cause trouble for Yuchixin.
However, at this moment, Yu Chixin could not interfere with Cai Wenjing's decision-making. He could only hope that Wang Xuanzhi, who was guarding Yingzhou, would not be such a waste.
At this moment, all his attention was focused on waiting for Shi Chaoyi's army.
In Shi Chaoyi's camp, Shi Chaoyi had a handsome face inherited from Shi Siming, but at this time he looked ferocious. He grabbed a messenger who had escaped from Yuguan and asked loudly: "What! You said Tang Jun, where did the big army come from?"
The Tang army? There are also weapons that can trigger thunder and fire?"
The scout who reported the news knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said, "Young Marshal! There is not a single lie in what I said! If I lie, I will go to hell with my tongue pulled out!"
Shi Chaoyi still did not let go of the soldier who desperately escaped to report the news, and said to the left and right: "Here comes! Kill this guy who has confused the king's heart!"
Naturally, the guards on the left and right came forward, stuffed a cloth into the soldier's mouth, took him outside the military camp, and beheaded him.
Shi Chaoyi paced back and forth in the military tent. Luo Yue, Shi Chaoyi's confidant, stroked his beard and said:
"Young Marshal, if the Tang army really had such thunder and fire, it would be possible to break through Yuguan from the sea. My subordinates also interrogated several soldiers who escaped from Yuguan. Their replies were the same as the one just said.
It is said that the ships of the Tang army sent out skyfire and knocked down the iron ropes blocking the sea, and then blasted through the city wall near the sea, and finally captured Yuguan."
Shi Chaoyi held the sword in his hand and said: "Cai Wenjing ruined my big job! If he hadn't been greedy for military glory, how could he have been defeated by the Tang army before our army could meet and march north?"
Luo Yue and Cai Wenjing were both Shi Chaoyi's right-hand men, and there were many fights on weekdays.
But at this time Luo Yue also knew that now was not the time for internal fighting, so he quickly excused Cai Wenjing: "General Cai didn't know that the Tang army would come from the sea, and there would be such unpredictable magic soldiers!"
Hearing Luo Yue, who had always been at odds with Cai Wenjing, say this, Shi Chaoyi's rage was suppressed a little. He looked at Luo Yue and asked, "What is our army going to do now?"
Luo Yue immediately said: "Our army will camp outside Yuguan."
"Just setting up camp?"
Luo Yue said: "The city wall of Yuguan is tall and has been occupied by the Tang army. Cai Wenjing only has 8,000 troops. Even if we encircle our army, it will be difficult to capture Yuguan. The current plan is for our army to camp outside Yuguan and let Cai Wenjing attack quickly.
Going to Yingzhou is the best option!"
Shi Chaoyi nodded, and then asked: "But where did this Tang army come from? Is it the soldiers of Pinglu Town?"
Luo Yue grasped the crux of the problem and replied: "The one who can mobilize the ships from the Bohai Kingdom must be the envoy sent by the Tang Dynasty. It must be the soldiers of the imperial court. The top priority now is to let General Cai capture Pinglu as soon as possible, otherwise our army will be wasted in
If we reach Yuguan, it will delay the commander-in-chief's plan to go south!"
Shi Chaoyi was also awakened by Luo Yue. He immediately accelerated his march according to Luo Yue's order. Sure enough, he set up camp in front of Yuguan and confronted the player army in Yuguan.
