On the east side of Yingzhou Prefecture, a county connected to Haizhou Prefecture, Canghe County. The north is different from the prefectures of the Central Plains. Within one prefecture in the north, the county towns are large and sparse. Generally, there are only four or five county towns in one prefecture.
, surrounded by towns and villages of all sizes. It can be said that the area is vast and the city is sparse!
Haizhou Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture, and Yingzhou Prefecture, near the sea, is the sea outlet to the east. It is also a trade route between the south and the north. It is a safer cargo transportation method during the war.
Zhao Xun had the idea of taking over Haizhou Prefecture. However, Haizhou Prefecture has always been the territory of the court, so he really had no idea how to start, so he had to give up.
The one who captured Canghe County was Duan Yan and his subordinate Xinziying. Duan Yan was an old man who started his business with Zhao Xun. Of course, it was not that he was old, but that he had been following Zhao Xun for a long time and received Zhao Xun training.
He has been a long time. I learned a lot from it, otherwise Zhao Xun would not have made him serve as the captain of the cavalry battalion and become the chief general of the side.
Duan Yan is twenty-five years old and looks approachable and easy-going, but he is extremely steady in his work. In Zhao Xun's words, he dare not say how outstanding Duan Yan is, but he will definitely not show anything.
A big mistake, as steady as a mountain! Duan Yan was prepared for this raid of hundreds of miles and played out his steadily as a mountain.
Although Zhao Xun strictly ordered that civilians not be plundered during the march, Zhao Xun did not prohibit his troops from plundering the big landlords and the big merchants who were close to the Marine Army. In fact, Zhao Xun also understood that if he did not plunder, how could he be able to
Get supplies very quickly? How can you reach the designated location like lightning?
All cavalry and infantry battalions were dressed in servants and military uniforms, sweeping all the way to plunder those objects that could be plundered, and use the food obtained from the plunder to provide supplies for the marching army, and go straight to the warehouse to maintain the war.
Hexian came, so when he killed him in Canghe County, the team that had been looted to Canghe County to file a complaint was still halfway.
According to the news from the Shadow Guard, there was a moat in Canghe County. After thinking about it, when he thought about what Zhao Xun said, he used war horses and pack horses to carry a batch of special supplies, which were thousands of bundles of dried bamboo!
The dried bamboo can form five terrible siege weapons overnight! The five siege ladders are connected together to fill the wide moat, and a wide layer between the ground and the city head is enough to make dozens of them.
The famous soldiers launched an attack at the same time.
Of course, Zhao Xun also said that the kind built by air-dried bamboo has something that combines the siege tower and the cloud ladder into one. They are afraid of fire attacks and also afraid of rolling wood and stones. However, if the attack is at night, the opponent will be caught off guard.
If it is, it can have unexpected results. The cavalry of Xinzi Camp also turned into infantrymen, and followed the infantrymen and headed straight for Canghe County.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night is late and people are quiet.
The Marine Army in Canghe County did not know that a large army had quietly approached Canghe County, and the servants in the city were also moving one after another, and even some big merchants were quietly preparing for something.
Canghe County is not small, and the majestic city silhouette is like a huge monster squatting in the wilderness! Several burning torches penetrated the enemy's building, illuminating the space within ten steps. Four nighttime marquis
The army stood solemnly on the city tower, straightening its body, and looking out of the city vigilantly.
However, the thick night completely obscured the world outside the city. In the cold, some trembling soldiers did not notice that in the dark world outside the city, there were five huge shadows slowly approaching the city wall under their feet!
"Crack...Crack..."
Under the dark night sky, a strange sound suddenly sounded outside the city.
"There is a voice!" A marshal of the Marine Army on the city tower suddenly raised his ears and asked his companions around him, "It seems that there is a voice outside the city."
"What? The sound? Let me listen!" Another soldier also raised his ears and listened for a moment! He said in a terrifying manner: "It seems that there is really a sound."
"What's the sound?"
"Or why should I ask them to come and have a look?"
"You want to be scolded, are you? They slept like dead pigs. Now you go wake them up. Isn't this asking for scolding?"
"What do you think you should do?"
"How could I know, why don't I throw a torch outside the city to look after it?"
The two soldiers even felt a little scared. In the dark night, there were strange sounds, how could they feel bumps all over their bodies? They did not associate this strange sound with the enemy's siege.
They didn't believe it, either, and someone would come to attack the city.
A soldier turned around and pulled out a burning mutton fat torch from the enemy's building, threw his arms away and threw them hard outside the city.
"call……"
A bright trajectory appeared in the air! It rolled and fell and flew out of the city. It was less than twenty steps away. The torch suddenly hit a wall, and there was only a muffled sound! The burning torch was burning.
It suddenly burst into pieces and turned into a splash of Mars, illuminating the scene within ten steps.
The two soldiers immediately widened their eyes in surprise.
"At that time...what...what the hell!"
"Brother, have you seen it? It seems to be moving!"
"No, the enemy is the enemy! Go and call the warning, I will report to the 100 people, hurry up!"
"Puff..."
Before the two soldiers could turn around and leave! Two cold arrows had already rushed into the air and shot through the throats of the two. The poor soldier fell down straight before he could even scream.
It turned into two cold corpses, and the next moment, the creaking sound outside the city suddenly became even more intense.
Not far from the city gate, a hundred people woke the rest of the soldiers from their sleep by the violent sounds, and ran to the battlements to see what happened. They were greeted by the cold swords and dozens of fully armed fires.
The Lin army had already rushed up the city wall along the siege ladder. In less than a moment, hundreds of generals and more than a hundred famous soldiers were killed.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the suspension cables on the suspension bridge had been cut off, and the heavy suspension bridge had already built a heavy pier on the other side of the moat. The next moment, the closed city gate also opened, and the gate of Canghe County was completely open. The flames shone.
Next, Duan Yan waved the long sword in his hand forward, and the cavalry of Xinzi Camp who were waiting for battle rushed into the city gate like a tide.
Yan Hang, the garrison commander of Canghe County, was woken up from his sleep by the captain of his own soldiers. He suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the window, and was shocked. He shouted sternly: "What's the sound?"
"General! The bandits have entered the city."
"What? Bandits? What bandits? Where did the bandits come from?" Yan Hang almost jumped up in shock and said anxiously: "What's going on?"
"Sir, it was the Yan army that rushed into the city, and all the servants in the city rebelled! The big merchants also sent out guards to hunt down the warriors of our Marine Army. The Han people in the city responded in groups. We... we can no longer resist it.
"The captain of the guard said bitterly.
"This is impossible! How could there be a Yan army? Where did Yan army come from?" Yan Hang shouted in disbelief: "The Yan army in Yingzhou Prefecture has been cleared out, either surrendering or becoming a bandit, and has no strength to attack me at all.
Canghe County! Besides, my Canghe County is strong and protected by moats. How did these Yan soldiers come in? Why did the soldiers guarding the city not get rewarded? What did they do for food?"
"The villain doesn't know. Anyway, the east gate and the north gate have been occupied by the Yan army. Now the Yan army is killing the city and the military camp. In addition to the Yan army and the servants in the city, countless people have also begun to siege and kill the Martin.
The warriors and the big merchants also dispatched their servants to cooperate with the rebels to fight our army. Now, our army is defeated."
"Damn it! The servants should die! The merchants should die! The Han people in Canghe County should die too! They should kill them!" Yan Hang shouted angrily with red eyes.
Seeing that the general was still scolding, the captain of the personal soldiers hurriedly said, "General, it will be too late to break through. No matter what, let's go out of the city first to discuss. I think my army has occupied Yingzhou Prefecture, how could I be afraid?
As long as reinforcements arrive, they will be able to wipe out all of these Yan troops. At that time, Canghe County will naturally return to the general's hands."
"Damn the Servant Army! If I had known that they would be like this, I should have completely wiped out the slaughter of the past without leaving any hidden dangers. What an ungrateful wolf who is not well-raised, damn it! I will never keep them when I come back next time!" Yan Hang cursed angrily and cursed angrily.
.
Yan Hang heard the sound of shouting and killing closer and closer again, and was stunned, and then said anxiously: "Hurry! Change your clothes and wear clothes for me! By the way, let your personal guards lead my war horses, let us kill them.
Go out and find reinforcements. When you return in the next day, you will be decisive to massacre the city for three days!"
As he was talking, a loud roar came. The source of the sound was the gate of his own home.
"General... no... no, no! Yan army killed..." A personal guard hurriedly ran over and shouted loudly.
"Puchi..." Before he finished speaking, an arrow came out of the guard's mouth and appeared in front of it. Above the cold arrow, there were red blood beads.
Yan Hang looked up and saw dozens of black-armored soldiers surrounded a young man wearing a flame cloak and stepped in. Looking at the other party's cloak, Yan Hang felt a little moved, and seemed to understand.
"Huo Lin Army?" Yan Hang said in a daze.
"Huo Lin Army!" said the young man coldly.
"Why attack my Canghe County?"
"You Canghe County? When did the territory of Dayan and the territory of the Han people become the territory of your Marx people? Don't say it's not, even if it's the case, you'll fight, because I'm from Yan!" The young man sneered coldly.
said loudly.
Yan Hang was speechless for a while and slowly lowered his head.
Duan Yan waved his hand, and more than a dozen arrows shot Yan Hang and the captain of his personal guards around him into hedgehogs. When Yan Hang fell, he suddenly appeared in Yingzhou City, and those who were still fighting for power.
The guy who is fighting for interests. Idiots! Huo Linjun is here, you have nothing! Yan Hang shouted silently.
That night! Canghe County was captured by the Huolin Army...
