Wen Ding led four or five hundred people straight out of the north gate and headed towards the north. At the same time, he also sent spies to convey the news to Changguang County. Although he knew that it might be too late, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
In addition, the news was sent to the two counties in Qianzuo, while being careful of the attack of the guards, and using the border to send orders to make arrangements between the two counties, they will be prepared to evacuate the two counties. The soldiers of the two counties will be gathered and taken to the water.
Military warships and coastal merchant ships moved to Lingzhou Prefecture for rest and rest.
Changyang and Changguang counties were lost, and just because of the rest, Qianzuo counties could not defend at all. They could only become lonely soldiers. They would not take long to be trapped and have no ammunition and food. Therefore,
I decided to prepare to take the boat south.
You take my Donglai Prefecture, okay, I don't want it anymore. Then I take your Lingzhou Prefecture and siege it from south to north. We have exchanged roles. It is different from the guards who have broken off contact with the court and have no information source.
Wen Ding knew that the Xiaoguo Army has now encircled and annihilated the southern guards on the southern route. Although I don’t know what the result is, I think the southern guards have been put down by the army. In addition, Lingzhou Prefecture is also there.
During the large army's operation, the guards will fall into the situation of being trapped in Donglai Mansion. Humph, then, let you look good! Wen Ding, who was riding on the horse, thought silently.
He ran wildly all night, and at dawn, he was more than a hundred miles away from Changyang County.
…………
At dawn, Tang Xian led his army back to this city that he could not capture for a long time. Looking at the traces on the city wall and the blood stains that had not been cleaned near the city gate, he couldn't help but sigh. He tried his best that day, but he couldn't get it.
After coming down, I didn't expect that when I retreated so easily, the solid city fell into my hands.
"Little Minion Hu Zhi, Xu Qing, and Zhang Li have met the general!" In addition to the soldiers welcoming, there were nearly twenty country squire at the city gate.
"Are you the big gentry who cooperated with our army to open the city gate this time?" Tang Xian asked lightly.
"It's me who can serve the general, it's me who's the duty!" said a man flatteringly.
"Haha... the duty! Well said, by the way, did you say this to Xiao Guojun in the past? Haha... Just kidding, okay, I won't treat you badly, you can go and have a rest for now
After this general handles the affairs here, he will fulfill my promise and enter the city!" Tang Xian laughed and said that, and led his subordinates straight into the city.
The big gentry with nearly twenty people was pale and blue. Obviously, the general of the guard did not take them seriously at all. Or, if you were used up, you are useless now.
"Hmph! A group of unrighteous villains! When I see them, I want to kill people!" Tang Xian said coldly after entering the city.
"Or, just execute us! Last time they betrayed us, this time our army is powerful, and they betrayed the Xiaoguo army again. Who knows if it will happen in the future..." General Xuanwei Ling He whispered.
Tang Xian shook his head and said, "It's not necessary. Since we have made efforts, we can't put a butcher knife in it. Otherwise, who will serve me in the future? As for them, they will properly place me and monitor them. All their clan members will be included.
No hidden dangers are left."
After entering the county government office, he recruited the siege lord generals to inquire about the situation in the city.
"By the way, where is General Wu Desheng? Why haven't he come yet?" Tang Xian asked with a smile when he saw Wu Desheng, who was also a hero in the city, was not seen.
"Report to the general, General Wu died last night!" Cavalry General Meng Zhao said in a deep voice.
"Fight...Diet in battle!" Suddenly, the smile on Tang Xian's face disappeared. After all, Wu Desheng was also his old boss, so he left like this.
"Forget... the clay pot will not break from the well, and the general will inevitably die in front of the formation. This is also General Wu's fate. Handle it properly and take the ashes back. What's the situation in the city?" Tang Xian said with a little depressed mood. As a soldier,
Be mentally prepared to die on the battlefield.
"The four thousand young fruit troops in the city killed 3,000 people, and more than one thousand escaped. The remaining 5,000 young and strong men who were trained were captured. Ten catapults and more than 30 crossbows were seized, and each was captured.
He planted more than 5,000 weapons, 500 war horses, and several various supplies. He did not get the thunder of the sky! The defenders in the city also fled out of the city." Meng Zhao replied.
Tang Xian said: "This city has been lowered, and there should be no problem with Changguang County. There are two counties left in the Xiaoguo Army, so it is no longer enough to make a case. Meng Zhao sent a message to General Shen and asked him to lead his troops to attack the remaining two.
County, we wait, head south to rescue Gaomi Prefecture.”
"Linghe, send someone to inform Qingzhou Governor Cao Bin, telling them that Donglai Prefecture has been captured by us, so that it can make the wisest choice, either surrender or wait for it to be swept by our guard army."
Tang Xian said coldly.
In Tang Xian's view, Qingzhou Xiaoguo Army has been destroyed. In the Qingzhou area, besides its own guards, there is only a powerful force like Qingzhou Prefecture Army. But now he has a capital city in both north and south of Qingzhou.
With strong troops, the Qingzhou Prefecture Army is definitely not its opponent. As long as the Qingzhou Prefecture Army surrenders to itself, it will be able to protect itself and avoid the blame from Murong Cheng and the court.
Besides, the Qingzhou Prefecture Army was the target of attack by the imperial court. On that day, in order to attack the Xiaoguo Army first, the Xiaoguo Army and the Qingzhou Prefecture Army had a faint intention of joining forces, they did not attack it. But now, except for the fact that they have been
The Xiaoguo Army is still wandering outside Gaomi Mansion, and the Qingzhou Mansion Army has no foreign aid at all. How can it be its opponent?
But he was unaware of the news, and he didn't know that the war in the southern part had just ended, but it had not yet reached the northeast of Qingzhou. His southern guards had become the mouths of the Xiaoguo Army.
At noon, Wen Ding received a reply from Changguang County. Changguang County was lost. The Eighth Prefecture General Li Lingfeng was seriously injured. Fortunately, he had no worries about his life and had been taken back by his subordinates and retreated to Buqi County.
.
On the way, some retreating scattered soldiers were gathered and heading towards Buqi County. When night fell, Wen Ding arrived at Buqi County.
Wen Ding immediately went to see the injured Li Lingfeng, but saw that Li Lingfeng was wrapped like a rice dumpling, with a pale face, and was lying on the bed. The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and it seemed that he was in serious condition.
"General!"
"Wending! Changyang County... was also... counterattacked by the guards?" Li Lingfeng asked with difficulty.
Wen Ding said bitterly: "I was attacked, it must be that an insider was serving the guards, causing the city gate to be lost. In addition... and I was careless, I didn't expect that the guards would ignore Gaomi Mansion.
In the situation, we turned to attack us. Half of the four thousand Xiaoguo Army were selected from the young and the government army. As a result... they only escaped less than a thousand people!"
The strong man couldn't help but shed tears.
Li Lingfeng was silent when he heard this. What was the difference between his situation and Wen Ding's? His subordinates were killed and killed. He could have let the guards defeat the city and retreated, but this turned out to be like this. The Eighth Mansion,
Now there are only less than 5,000 people left in the entire army.
"General, I mean, I immediately took a navy ship to leave Donglai Prefecture and switched to Lingzhou Prefecture. According to the information of the Eagle Eye Division and the Shadow Division, Lingzhou Prefecture has gradually fallen into the hands of our army. We are in Ling
The prefecture is resting and sending a message to the lord, allowing us to recruit new recruits, form the Eighth Prefecture Army, and participate in the battle against the Guards to avenge the brothers. What do the general think?" After a while, Wen Ding said in a deep voice.
Li Lingfeng nodded with difficulty and said, "Just do what you said, the troops we have in our hands can't hold on here now, and there is no danger to defend these two counties, and it is not worth fighting with the lives of our brothers.
”
"By the way, those catapults, crossbows and other items that cannot be removed can be removed, and they can be removed and moved. If they cannot be removed, they will be destroyed and must not be left to the guards. In addition, the food and grass in the city will be distributed to all
The people, let them keep it properly. In addition, tell them that after we leave, we should not fight against the guards. We will definitely come back in the future." Li Lingfeng finally explained with difficulty.
"Don't worry, General, I understand! I will definitely deal with it properly." Wen Ding said in a deep voice.
Then, the two counties of Qianzuo began to be busy all night, and the Qingzhou naval camp also began to become busy. You must know that in order to limit the supply and support of the Qingzhou Guards, ships without the flame Qilin Banner were not hung outside Qingzhou.
All will be seized. It would be fine if ordinary merchant ships fell at that time. If they were pirates, they would provide assistance to the guards and smuggled goods and other ships, they would be confiscated and would not be returned. Now, the Qingzhou Navy Camp has left many ships.
When hearing that the Xiaoguo Army was leaving, many people were worried because the Xiaoguo Army implemented a new policy. If the Xiaoguo Army left, their interests would not be guaranteed. Finally, after the repeated guarantees of the Xiaoguo Army soldiers were restored.
Only when they came back did they appease these people. Of course, some people were willing to move with the army, and Wen Ding agreed to this. Anyway, there were a lot of ships, so these people were willing to leave, so let's go with the army.
…………
The Xiaoguo Army acted very quickly. Within two days, the two counties in Qianzuo had to clean up everything they should have. Now the two counties are completely unprepared cities, leaving only some young and strong people to maintain order, but because of the guards
The people of both counties were cautious when they came, and except for some of them hiding in the countryside, the rest were carefully hiding at home.
Because of the hard fighting for days, the Guards took over two counties and needed to rule the surrounding townships and pacify the four directions, so it was delayed for three days. Because they did not expect that the Xiaoguo army would withdraw its troops and escape, so they did not
Too much detailed investigation of the two northern counties. In the eyes of the guards, the Xiaoguo army of the two northern counties had no way out.
Tang Xian wanted to go south to rescue Gaomi Mansion. Of course, rescue is no longer the top priority at this moment. In his opinion, the north has been decided, and the entire eastern half of Qingzhou is under the control of the guards. This mere Xiaoguo Army attacked the city.
The army, destroying him is not a problem at all. Of course, he has not learned about the situation in the south so far. But no matter what, there is such an army in his hinterland doing sabotage, and Tang Xian cannot sit idly by.
Now the focus is on considering the Qingzhou Prefecture Army surrenders to itself.
The task of Donglai Prefecture in conquering the remaining two counties was handed over to Chen Yuanhe. While rectifying the two counties, it was necessary to rest and replenish the remaining two counties, so it was not in a hurry to take action against the remaining two counties.
It was not until three days later that the news sent by the scouts surprised Chen Yuanhe.
"What did you say? However, the Xiaoguo army in the two counties of Qianzuo had already evacuated before yesterday? Where did they evacuate? Have you ever found out?" Chen Yuanhe asked with a surprised expression. There were only two counties in total. How can I remove the land?
"Report to the general, Xiaoguo Army has already taken the Qingzhou naval ship and crossed the sea. I don't know which direction to retreat!" The scout said respectfully.
Chen Yuanhe's face changed a few times. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the navy of the Xiaoguo Army had occupied the eastern waters of Qingzhou and defeated the navy of the Guards.
"A person comes, immediately send an order, and the entire army heads north and enters the two counties." Chen Yuanhe immediately ordered. In order to prevent accidents, he still let the army act together.
It was not until Chen Yuanhe appeared in the two counties that he realized that the Xiaoguo Army had really left. The city defense above the city wall had been met. The temporary young and strong in the city were in the guards. When he arrived, he followed the instructions of Xiaoguojun and opened the city to greet him. The Chen Yuan and his heart felt a strange feeling.
After investigation, there was no one in the new water port of Qingzhou Navy. It seemed that the Xiaoguo Army had really left. The Xiaoguo Army retreated abruptly, which made Chen Yuanhe feel a little unreal. Half a year Come on, the two armies fought to the death, and he also understood the character of the Xiaoguo Army. But he did not expect that the Xiaoguo Army, who was unwilling to give in to the death, would suddenly withdraw. Shen Yuanhe always felt a little strange in his heart.
