Chapter 359: Poor land that has prospered the king for thousands of years, the city walls are ruined, the trees are deep and the grass is deep
Zhang Hui, with the spring breeze blowing on his face, put a bright red cloak on Li Yunze.
Li Yunze, who had lost part of his protein, held a cup filled with ten raw eggs in his hand. "After I go off to the war, I will leave the family affairs to you."
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis."
After packing up Li Yunze's luggage, Zhang Huishi saluted, "I should comfort the back house and not cause trouble for the Marquis."
"Gudu Gudu~~~"
Li Yunze drank up ten raw eggs in one breath and replenished his nutrition. He pinched Zhang Hui's smooth and moist chin, "When I come back, I will reward you with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong."
Zhang Hui's pretty face immediately turned red, as if she remembered something that she couldn't express.
He lowered his head and followed Li Yunze out of the room.
In the courtyard outside, everyone in the back house of the Jiedushi Yamen had been waiting for a long time.
The sisters-in-law Rong and Tao, together with a group of servants, saluted Li Yunze and sent him off to send out troops.
Li Yunze is about to send troops, and the target of this attack is the Yicheng Army centered in Xingyang.
The famous Xingyang is actually Zhengzhou. Like Bianzhou, it is the core place of the Central Plains in the world.
As for Yichengjun, it is also called Yicheng Town. It was previously called Huabo Town, which was a vassal town centered on Huazhou and Bozhou.
Whatever you call the army, you can just call it the town.
Huabo Town used to be very powerful, but after a series of bloody battles with the young men from Weibo Town, they were beaten to a bloody head and lost all their sphere of influence north of the Yellow River. They were already in ruins.
Even though he had an absolute strategic advantage, Li Yunze still picked on the weaklings first.
This time, Li Yunze did not lead an exciting battlefield with armored cavalry running thousands of miles away. Instead, he led the army in an orderly manner from Bianzhou and headed straight for Xingyang.
The reason is very simple. The Yicheng Army does not want to fight with him in a field battle, so they can only engage in siege battles in a disciplined manner.
The armored cavalry is unparalleled in field battles, but is of little use in siege warfare.
You can't let a knight who is expensive to train dismount and climb the city wall.
As for the Yicheng army who had previously sent troops to besiege the county town and wanted to seize hundreds of thousands of dan of food, they surrendered in front of the formation in a gorgeous manner when the front line of the army approached.
It can be seen from here that in fact, this volunteer army has been bribed by Li Yunze to perform such a play.
For Li Yunze, anything that can be solved with a silver bullet is nothing.
Bianzhou is very close to Xingyang, and after a few days' march, we arrived at the foot of Xingyang City.
Li Yunze first asked the defenders to surrender in a routine manner, and then was rejected as expected.
Although the Yicheng Army was beaten so badly by Wei Bojun that they could no longer take care of themselves, they still had 20,000 to 30,000 regular soldiers.
In addition, Xingyang has been a well-known fortified city in the world since ancient times. There have been many wars in history, and it is a well-known fortified city in history books. The Yicheng Army is very confident that it can defend the city.
Li Yunze admired their courage and then transported a truckload of mining explosives from the modern world.
The solid city walls in the cold weapon era were indeed very safe.
It's a pity that when encountering hot weapons, it becomes a decoration.
Li Yunze, who was not short of money, generously sent tons of mining chemicals to the famous fortified city of Xingyang.
Even though it is a medicine for mining, its power is not small at all. After all, it is used to open mountains.
The mountains can be opened, so what does a mere city wall mean?
The Yicheng Army suffered a bolt from the blue!
It was really a thunderbolt from the blue sky that shook the heavens and the earth.
The strong shock wave and kinetic energy caused by the explosion of tons of mine chemicals, as well as the terrifying explosion sound, almost shook the entire Xingyang.
The solid city wall was blown down, and the defenders on the city head and numerous defensive equipment were thrown into the sky like broken toys, and then fell down one after another.
The scorching rubble and various random fragments flying all over the sky even hit the Xuanwu Army formation several miles away.
The huge dust cloud rising into the sky shrouded everyone's minds like the end of the world.
The Xuanwu army attacking the city was also frightened.
Although they were notified in advance, the Grand Magister and Jiedushi would summon the power of heaven and earth to destroy the city wall.
Originally, the Xuanwu Army officers were still dubious.
After all, most people are aware of all kinds of Jianghu tricks. Even if they don't know the principles, they have seen them before.
But those tricks were always on a small scale, just for fun.
I never thought there would be such an earth-shattering scene, it really scared so many people.
When the deafening sound gradually disappeared, and when the huge dust cloud rising into the sky gradually dispersed, Li Yunze, who was watched with countless eyes in horror and awe, calmly ordered "attack the city."
The soldiers of the Xuanwu Army, whose morale was soaring, held swords and shields in their hands, and surged towards the blown-down city wall like a tide.
A hundred-meter-long section of the city wall has completely collapsed, and countless fragments have piled up into a slope.
When the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army climbed over the slope and entered the city, they encountered no resistance at all.
Within the city within a radius of more than a hundred feet near the city wall, all the houses were destroyed, and the ground was filled with silent figures.
Many people were crushed to death by various flying debris, but many more had no wounds on their bodies, but they were bleeding from all their orifices, and their bodies immediately went limp when touched.
These were all the unlucky people who died under the shock wave. They looked fine on the outside, but they were shattered by the shock wave on the inside.
What was originally thought to be a very brutal and bloody siege quickly turned into a battle to accept the surrender of the prisoners.
Many desperate Yicheng soldiers were wandering in the streets, their eyes were dull and their ears were bleeding. They could not even hear the words shouted by the Xuanwu soldiers.
Fortunately, the miserable situation of the Yicheng Army also made the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army feel pity. Seeing that the enemy had no weapons in their hands, they directly took them as prisoners.
The city is protected by the city wall, but when the shock wave and sound wave sweep over, the towering city wall acts as a baffle, allowing its power to be released as much as possible in the city.
The whole city was blinded.
After the Xuanwu Army soldiers entered the city, they basically encountered no resistance.
The main force of the Yicheng Army, which had suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, was wiped out so easily. This was beyond everyone's expectation.
Except for Li Yunze, no one was surprised.
Li Yunze knew clearly that this was because he had never been exposed to this type of attack before and was completely unprepared.
In addition, the structure of the city enhanced the power of sound waves and shock waves, which caused the defenders to lose their fighting spirit.
This is normal. Let alone the ancients more than a thousand years ago, even people in the modern world will become confused and insane when encountering this kind of thing.
Xingyang was captured without much effort and the Yicheng Army was basically wiped out. It was just an appetizer for Li Yunze.
The repairs in the Xingyang area lasted for more than ten days, mainly overseeing the captives' rebuilding of destroyed houses, arranging various government offices, allocating fields to the people, and other routine operations.
Some sergeants were left behind to protect the work team composed of school graduates and continue to carry out people's livelihood work. Li Yunze himself led the army south from Xingyang and went straight to Xuzhou.
Xuzhou is Xuchang, the capital where Cao Cao, the traitor, held hostage the emperor to command the princes, and welcomed Emperor Xian of Han to Xudu.
This is also the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is also a good place with a large population and a high degree of land development.
If Li Yunze wants to end the troubled times, the first step is to capture the heart of the Central Plains.
First of all, the population here is large enough. Secondly, the fields are cultivated well enough. Finally, the geographical location is in the middle of the world, making it convenient to go anywhere.
Xuzhou belongs to the territory of the Zhongwu Army. Li Yunze directly took out the letter of their collusion with Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin brothers, indicating that the Zhongwu Army cooperated with the rebels and wanted to attack the Xuanwu Army, which was naturally a rebellion.
He, Li Yunze, was ordered by the imperial court to suppress rebellion.
The strength of the Zhongwu Army is similar to that of the Yicheng Army, relying on Xuzhou and other places to support more than 30,000 regular soldiers.
Everyone is a martial artist. If you fail to kill the opponent after spitting, then it is natural to use the knife.
Although they heard the news that Xingyang was destroyed by thunder, there was no live broadcast on mobile phones these days, so the Zhongwu Army didn't know what the scene was.
They still chose to defend the city very conscientiously. After all, the tall city wall can give people a strong sense of security.
As for the result, it was natural that he would end up with the Yicheng Army.
Because they were afraid of armored cavalry, they gathered all the main troops and horses in the city.
It seemed like a good choice, but in fact it gave Li Yunze the opportunity to catch them all.
After the city wall was blown open again, the experienced Xuanwu Army soldiers entered the city very skillfully and took over everything.
Leaving manpower behind to deal with the local civil affairs, Li Yunze led his army non-stop from Xuzhou to the east, and successively captured Chenzhou, which had little defense power, namely Zhoukou, Bozhou, Yingzhou and other places.
By this time, the entire Central Plains, except for the eastern capital Luoyang, was basically under Li Yunze's control.
This land has the largest population and the most fertile land in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Historically, Zhu Wen relied on the power accumulated in this land to destroy the Tang Dynasty. Now Li Yunze's power is much stronger than Zhu Wen.
This power naturally aroused the attention and vigilance of many surrounding feudal towns.
Moreover, its strong aggressiveness and terrifying ability to destroy many feudal towns in a short period of time have already made the surrounding feudal towns feel the crisis.
Without any arrangements from the court, the surrounding vassal towns spontaneously began to connect intensively, and the second anti-Li Yunze encirclement network was about to be formed.
Regarding this kind of thing, Li Yunze has always accepted everyone who comes.
He was never afraid of fighting, especially fighting with these warriors.
In addition to having enough confidence in his own strength, he also has Gatling Bodhisattva as his backing.
If he really couldn't defeat him in conventional combat, Li Yunze would never mind using his boundless Dharma to defeat his opponent.
Of course, Li Yunze is not just good at fighting, he also has diplomatic skills.
He sent a large amount of grain and goods to Weibo Town, and immediately recruited them as his thugs, responsible for dealing with the feudal towns north of the Yellow River.
Wei Bozhen, who has 100,000 troops, is powerful and short-sighted and can easily be bribed.
If anyone wants to compete with him financially to buy Wei Bo Town, Li Yunze can fight until they lose everything.
The next step was to increase support for Zhu Quanzhong and ask him to hold back Li Keyong from Hedong Town.
After making arrangements for the north, Li Yunze naturally looked to the south.
Next, it was time for him to send troops to sweep the south.
