When the king was angry, he laid down the corpses of millions of people.
After Liu Cun returned in despair, the army immediately began to attack the city.
Shao Shude personally held a sword and stood in front of the formation.
Longxiang, Guangsheng, and Shenjie were the main attackers. If anyone did not try his best, cheated or cheated, Yin Anzhi immediately kidnapped him from the military school, and Shao Shude personally killed him under the banner.
There is no way out.
No matter how dissatisfied the soldiers from Bianliang were, they still knew that this would be a good time to launch an attack. King Xia did not know what kind of ecstasy soup he had given to him. General Tu was now overly obedient and had become a dog-legger. Even if he wanted to rebel, he was a little afraid that the accomplices would come to suppress him.
.
General, general, do you think this bugle was raised casually?
Up and down Juye City, corpses fell like rain.
Sergeant Yunchen has been in battle for a long time, but he is still a little overwhelmed in the face of such a fierce offensive.
It had been less than three years since the Guangsheng Army was established, and it had never experienced such a cruel battle. As it was going on, its morale was a bit low. However, after seeing five or six bloody heads under the banner, they braced themselves up and continued.
Siege the city.
The casualties of sergeants on both sides were astonishing. By the time it was getting dark, the Shenjie Army had already retreated to reorganize. They attacked the camp first and then the city. There were only more than 5,000 soldiers left.
Ge Congzhou was sweating profusely. He was good at fast blitzes that moved like the wind, defeating the enemy on the move, and the last thing he wanted to do was a stupid battle like siege.
But now with the soldiers under my command, it is basically impossible to expect them to move hundreds of miles like the old troops did when they sneaked over Huguan. They cannot complete such tactical actions. On the contrary, they can just attack the city. After all, they don’t need any skills.
, just dare to die.
After nightfall, Shao Shude ordered the two armies to sit on the ground and eat some water while the rest of the army continued to attack the city without stopping.
Kang Yanxiao and others knew that this was the signal for them to go into battle, so after eating, they recharged their batteries and waited silently.
At 3:00 pm, another wave of Long Xiang's army's offensive was repulsed. However, the defenders were at the end of their strength and had already been attacked twice on the city wall, resulting in heavy casualties.
"Where is the sudden general?" Shao Shude suddenly asked.
Kang Yanxiao was excited and immediately replied: "The sudden general is here!"
"The sudden general is here!" Nine thousand soldiers shouted in unison.
"Siege the city!"
"As you command!"
Kang Yanxiao took off his clothes and beat the drum himself in the cold wind to cheer.
Zhe Butai, the deputy envoy of General Tu, wore three layers of armor, selected two thousand elite soldiers, and personally led the charge.
"Dongdongdong..." Kang Yanxiao looked at the head of the city in the distance. Steam was rising from the top of his head like a steamer, and the drum beat became more and more urgent, as if urging his life.
The generals rushed towards the city like a raging tide.
After beating the drum, they successfully broke through the enemy's interception and stormed the city.
After two rounds of drumming, the battlefield has moved to the city walls.
After the three drums were played, the city gate suddenly opened.
"Kill!" Three thousand soldiers of the generals and soldiers who were ready to attack swarmed in and rushed into the city.
After a while, someone rushed to the foot of the banner and offered Liu Cun's head.
Shao Shude threw him into the fire and said: "Capture the thieves and kill them all in the military academy. The sergeants and their families will be sent to Qingtang."
"Your Highness, no thief has been captured." The sergeant who came to report nervously replied.
Shao Shude was stunned. Well, he was the one who said not to leave any grass behind. He was so dizzy that he was really disgusted by these people.
"Exile his family," he ordered.
"As commanded."
There were still faint shouts of killing coming from the city, but it was already coming to an end.
Shao Shude then ordered Yin An to go straight into the city.
Yang Hongyin understood. This was for them to go in and watch, to restrain the military discipline and not to cause massacre of the city.
Since the difficult times, except for Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan, no matter how brutal the war was, the warlords in each vassal town have maintained their bottom line very well and have not massacred any city. It has been more than a hundred years now.
King Xia cherished feathers and did not want to be the first. How could Yang Hongyin, who came from a wealthy family, not know?
After issuing the order, Shao Shude, who waited hungry until now, returned to his tent to rest, and did not enter the city until the next morning.
There are one post every five steps on the street, and there are sergeants entering every house. The security measures are very strict to prevent assassination.
Hu Zhen, Ge Congzhou, Wang Tan, Hua Wenqi, Zhang Guibian, Xie Yanzhang and other generals came to pay their respects.
"You all fought well." Shao Shude affirmed the performance of Guangsheng's three armies and said: "With you waiting here, Yun Town can't afford a big wave. The whole army rested for two days and waited for supplies. As soon as the grain and grass arrived, they sent out troops.
Attack Yanzhou."
"I will obey the king's order." Hu Zhen took the lead and responded.
The next step was to attack Yanzhou instead of somewhere else. This was expected by everyone.
Yun, Yan is adjacent, close is Chi Chi, there is never only one saying.
After clearing out the opposition forces in Yuncheng, the entire army can start a decisive battle with Zhu Jin.
Shao Shude is not afraid of failure at all, because now he can afford to lose once, twice or even three times. The error tolerance rate is too high.
He won tens of thousands of armies, and even if they were annihilated by human beings, he would not feel bad at all. And if they were not annihilated, but instead gradually attacked and destroyed the four towns of Yun, Yan, Qing, and Xu in a cruel war, then they
Their quality, morale, and combat effectiveness will also reach a new level and they can be used as the main force.
"Your Majesty, Lu County has surrendered." Suddenly, a messenger came in to report.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Hu Zhen was the first to jump out and congratulated with a smile.
Ge Congzhou and others secretly cursed and came out to congratulate him.
"Give Feng Zangzhi an order to lower his troops to the south. If you dare to make noise and cause chaos, you will be killed." Shao Shude ordered.
In principle, he doesn’t want any of the Yunchen sergeants. Liu Cun and others are right to worry. Shao Shude has too many warriors, and he really doesn’t want to raise more. The financial pressure is too great, and the Yunchen warriors are not as good as those in other places.
Warriors tame.
But with more than 20,000 people, it was impossible to kill them all. Now that Shao Shude had thought about it for a long time, he felt that it was better to eliminate some, demobilize some, annex some, and slowly digest and consume them.
The handling of the warriors in Yuncheng can actually gradually form a long-standing example. The sergeants in the five Hebei feudal towns of Weibo, Chengde, Cangjing, Yiding, and Youzhou are even more unruly and can be regarded as enhanced versions of Yun and Yan.
Qingwufu.
Wei Bo's repeated leaps ruined the Later Liang Dynasty, and the demise of the Later Tang Dynasty was inseparable from Wei Bo and Chengde. Zhu Quanzhong, Li Keyong, and Li Cunxu failed to completely defeat the Hebei feudal town. It can be imagined that the difficulty was quite high
of.
Shao Shude decided to practice with the relatively simple Yunzhen first to accumulate experience and avoid making mistakes when conquering Hebei.
Defeating those warriors does not cure the root cause, eradicating the soil of the separatist regime is the most important thing.

"Send the order, all counties, towns, and Zhaiying City should defend themselves and not engage in war." Zhu Jin issued the order in Lisuo Xiaqiu County, Yanzhou.
He was too familiar with the Feilong Army and knew their fighting style too well, so he was very afraid of this unit.
Laiwu is an important area, and the Feilong Army cannot defeat it. What they are doing now is just to mobilize Yan soldiers to rescue and then ambush them in the middle. Qi Bizhang has played this trick many times in Liang, and he has beaten
The local state and county soldiers did not dare to leave the country and could only operate locally.
He has sent envoys to Qingzhou, asking Wang Shifan to send troops together, and also warned them to focus on the Feilong Army, not the Tielin Army.
"Although the Shao thief made a surprise attack and captured Yunzhou, the town of Yunzhou did not fall. He still had to spend time tidying up the place. This is our opportunity." Zhu Jin said, "I have made up my mind to join forces with Qingzhou and fight with Qingzhou.
Xia thief war."
"I'll listen to the commander-in-chief." Yan Bao, Hu Gui, Kang Huaiying and other generals said one after another.
"Before Wang Shifan's troops arrive, we can attack Liu Zhijun first. This guy is besieging Rencheng County and is isolated and helpless. Defeat him first and eliminate all threats." Zhu Jin said confidently: "General Yan Du, you choose one
Ten thousand sergeants, recruit strong men along the way to attack the Xia bandit Dragon and Tiger Army. He only has 8,000 men, so give me a good beating."
"As ordered." Yan Bao responded.
"Wait a minute." Zhu Jin thought for a while and then said, "I don't think Liu Zhijun is a kind person. If he wants to surrender, you might as well lure him."
"As commanded."
"Hu Gui!" Zhu Jin said again.
"The end will be here."
"You go to Yi, Hai and Mi states to recruit soldiers and bring them back to Yanzhou."
"As commanded."
"Kang Huaiying!"
"The end will be here."
"You stay in Yanzhou and recruit young men to help defend the city."
"As commanded."
The three of them all looked at Zhu Jin, and it seemed that Zhu Shuai was going to take action himself.
"I am leading the cavalry to go into battle to find bad luck for Shao Thief." Zhu Jin said with a decisive look on his face: "Now someone needs to cause him some trouble and block him, otherwise Yunchen will be captured soon."
It’s settled.”
Most of the Yanzhen cavalry were once wiped out by Liang Jun. However, it has developed to the present day and now has a scale of more than 4,000 cavalry, which can play a great role.
"Commander, Shao's thieves also have many cavalry, so we should be more cautious." Kang Huaiying advised.
"There is no other way." Zhu Jin sighed: "This battle must be fought like this. I will lead my elite cavalry to the north and meet the Xia bandit tribes for a while. As long as Wang Shifan's troops come over, the situation will be improved.
There has been a big improvement.”
"How long will it take before Wang Shifan sends out troops?" someone asked.
"Come on, my cousin has returned to Yunzhou with several followers to recruit the rebels to deal with the Shao thieves." Zhu Jin said: "Although Yunzhou has been destroyed, the people, officials and warriors of Yunzhou may not necessarily turn towards the Shao thieves.
It is not a good thing for outsiders to rule Yuncheng. If there is no chance, that's it. Now that the three towns are rebelling against Shao, there is still a great chance."
"As for Qi soldiers, they will be dispatched in large numbers after the Lantern Festival." Zhu Jin added: "The pressure on Shao's thieves has doubled, and there will definitely be new changes in the situation in Yunzhou. Anyway, I don't believe he can stabilize the situation soon. By the way, Wei
I heard that Zhu Quanzhong was stationed in Chanzhou with more than 10,000 horses. This is a good opportunity. If the Zhu thieves can be persuaded to go south to attack Huazhou, the Shao thieves will be in a hurry and it will be more difficult to fight.
"
"The commander-in-chief has arranged it this way, so I can rest assured."
"It's best to let the Wei people also send troops, so that we can be more sure."
"No, letting Li Keyong lead his army south is the most destructive move."
"Don't worry about outsiders. Let's fight with Shao Thief this time. He won't give us a way to survive, so why should we be polite?"
"Okay, we can talk about these things later." Zhu Jin pressed down his hands, stopped everyone talking, and said: "The top priority is to kill Liu Zhijun first and eliminate the threat from Laiwu. In short, fight with Shao Thief."
