Chapter 224 stalemate

Zhao Yun fought against Tu Shun in front of the two armies. When Zhao Yun faced Tu Shun, the two brothers Tu An did not lose any disadvantage.

However, Zhou Yu, who was watching the battle, frowned. Although there were many powerful generals in the Zhennan Army and dozens of powerful generals at the Grandmaster level, among the 800,000 troops he led, there were only Zhao Yun.

Seeing that the people of Wei sent two great masters and warriors to fight with Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu wanted to send another general, but unfortunately he didn't know who should be sent to help Zhao Yun share the enemy general.

Now beside Zhou Yu, except for Zhou Yu himself, the other generals with the highest cultivation level are only the Huajin warriors. Not to mention the Huajin-level generals, even if Zhou Yu, the Grandmaster warrior, takes action personally, he is definitely not an opponent of the Dragon General of Wei.

Just when Zhou Yu was struggling, there was an amazing change in front of the two armies.

Originally, Tu Shun and Tu An joined forces, but although they did not completely suppress Zhao Yun, they had already gained a little bit of advantage. After all, Tu Shun and Tu An were both great masters and warriors. Even if none of them were Zhao Yun's opponents, Zhao Yun could deal with it with it a little harder when they joined forces.

When the three of them urged the horse to get rid of the stirrup again, the war horse under Tu'an's crotch suddenly fell off its front and threw Tu'an to the ground.

If Tu Shun hadn't tried his best to entangle Zhao Yun, maybe Zhao Yun could have killed Tu An on the spot with one shot.

Seeing this, the other three brothers of the Tu family, who were watching the battle, immediately urged their horses to rush towards the two armies.

On the Zhennan Army, Zhou Yu waved his hand and hundreds of Zhao Yun's personal guards rushed forward.

Zhao Yun looked at Tu An, who had been protected by Tu Zhao, Tu Feng, Tu Gai and Tu Shun, and raised his hand to stop the hundreds of personal guards under his command and launched a charge against the five brothers of the Tu family.

Zhao Yun shouted: "The dragon general of Wei State is nothing more than that!"

After saying that, Zhao Yun directly brought hundreds of personal guards and cavalry back to his own formation.

In fact, Zhao Yun knew very well that although most of the hundreds of personal guards under his command were warriors, and even six of them were warriors of the Warriors, they were all the Tu brothers who were great masters and warriors, which were like to die.

Now that I have lost some advantage because of Tu'an's war horse, I have to stop as soon as possible.

Tu Zhao, Tu Feng, Tu Gai and Tu Shun protected Tu An and retreated to the formation of five thousand heavy cavalry in Wei. At this moment, the sound of gongs sounded on the walls of Xiongyi City.

Hearing the sound of the gong, Tu Zhao immediately ordered the entire army to withdraw from Xiongyi City.

After Zhao Yun rode a horse back to the front of the formation, Zhou Yu hurriedly asked with concern: "Zilong, aren't you injured?"

Zhao Yun gave a slight breath and said, "I have nothing to do. The Dragon General of Wei is indeed not a false reputation. The martial arts skills of the two Dragon Generals of Wei who were on the field are not much weaker than me. If one of them hadn't fallen out of the way, I would have been defeated if I persisted for a while."

Zhou Yu said: "Zilong, you own two Wei dragon generals. Even if you lose, it's nothing. But next time, we should try not to fight with the Wei people. After all, only Zilong can defeat the Wei dragon generals."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Gongjin's words are reasonable. Next, we can focus on siege and strive to capture Xiongyi City as soon as possible."

Zhou Yu said with some concern: "Since I learned that Tu Lin had arrived in Xiongyi City, I felt that it would be very difficult to win Xiongyi City."

After the five brothers Tu Zhao, Tu Feng, Tu Gai, Tu Shun and Tu An returned to the city wall, Tu Zhao smiled wryly and said to Tu Lin: "Father, Zhao Yun from Zhennan Army is very good at martial arts, so I had no choice but to send Lao Si and Lao Wu to fight him."

Tu An immediately said, "Father, don't blame the elder brother. The elder brother is worried about my safety, so he sent the fourth brother to help me."

Tu Lin said indifferently: "Ziqi, you did a good job. I sent your brothers out of the city to challenge us. It was just to increase the morale of our army. Even if we were defeated, it would not have much impact on our guarding of Xiongyi City. I don't want to have any accidents in Ziheng because of an irrelevant general."

Ziqi is the face of Tu Zhao, while Ziheng is the face of Tu An.

Tu Feng asked at this time, "Father, how do we fight next?"

Tu Lin smiled slightly, "Just wait for Zhennan Army to attack the city. Maybe we have a head-on battle with Zhennan Army. The combat effectiveness of our Great Wei army is still a little worse, but with the benefit of defending the city, even if the Zhennan Army sends millions of troops, we can't even conquer Xiongyi City. This general has prepared more than 900,000 Great Wei soldiers for Zhennan Army in Xiongyi City!"

Then Tu Lin said to Tu Zhao: "Ziqi, I may not stay in Xiongyi City for long. After I leave, you will be the commander of Xiongyi City. More than 900,000 soldiers of the Wei Dynasty and Xiongyi City will be handed over to you."

Tu Zhao said with a serious expression: "Don't worry, with the five brothers here, the Zhennan Army will not be able to step into Xiongyi City!"

"I am very relieved to you because of my father. Remember to take care of four younger brothers more. After all, the four of them do not have as much battlefield experience as you do."

"Yes, father."

Starting from the morning of July 2, the seventh year of Ruikang, the Zhennan Army launched a fierce attack on Xiongyi City for half a month. The blood of the fallen soldiers of the Zhennan Army almost dyed the south walls of Xiongyi City black and red, but Xiongyi City was still firmly controlled by the Wei army.

When the Zhennan Army attacked the city, it even used tincture tanks to burn the south gate of Xiongyi City.

Unfortunately, the defenders of Wei were prepared for a long time. When the south gate of Xiongyi City was burned, the gate hole of the south gate had been blocked by the Wei army with stones.

Looking at the city gate that had been blocked by stones, the Zhennan Army's siege troops could only sigh.

There are steep cliffs on both sides of Xiongyi City. If Zhennan Army wants to conquer Xiongyi City, it can only attack the south wall of Xiongyi City.

On the evening of July 16th, in a military tent in the Zhennan Army camp south of Xiongyi City, Zhou Yu lit a secret letter sent by Yunshe and threw it into the brazier, and then sighed to Zhao Yun: "Yunshe just sent information. It turned out that the Wei army gathered a total of ten imperial guards and four palace guards from Wei in Xiongyi City and the suburbs north of Xiongyi City, as well as more than 400,000 temporary recruitment of rural soldiers, which combined even more than our army's strength. Even if our 800,000 troops were all fought, they might not be able to capture Xiongyi City."

Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Now we have lost nearly 70,000 people in Xiongyi City. What should we do next? Will we withdraw our troops?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "It is impossible to withdraw troops, but we have to reduce the intensity of the siege next. The lord changed our main combat mission through Yunshe, which will change to restrain the Wei army in Xiongyi City."

"Can you have made any progress in the other four armies?"

This time, the Zhennan Army sent troops to attack the Great Wei Empire and chose to divide the troops into five groups. At the same time, it launched an attack on Kangzhou Prefecture, Cizhou Prefecture, Guzhou Prefecture, Xingzhou Prefecture and Shazhou Prefecture in the south of the Great Wei Empire.

The 800,000 army led by Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun was just a large army, and the mission was to attack the Cizhou Prefecture of the Great Wei Empire.

Zhou Yu immediately said: "This time Wei's attack on our Zhennan Army is sufficiently prepared. At present, the other four armies are also blocked by the border fortress of Wei."

The southern border areas of the Great Wei Empire were mostly steep mountains, and all roads that could enter the Great Wei Empire were blocked by the border fortresses built by the Great Wei Empire. As a result, the five armies of the Zhennan Army were blocked by the border fortresses of the Great Wei Empire, causing the five battlefields to fall into a stalemate.

Zhao Yun asked in confusion: "What is the purpose of the lord asking us to restrain the Wei army in Xiongyi City?"

Zhou Yu suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Zilong, don't forget that there is an invincible navy at the sea in my Zhennan Army."

Zhao Yun suddenly realized and said, "I understand. The lord seems to be preparing to let the navy cooperate and launch another large-scale landing battle."

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "According to the information obtained by Yunshe, most of the troops of Wei are now trapped in the battlefields of our southern part of Dayan and southern part of Wei. The troops in the hinterland of Wei are very empty. As long as our Zhennan Army draws a large army to land on the eastern coast of Wei, Wei will inevitably lose sight of one thing at that time. Maybe our Zhennan Army can bite a big bite of meat on Wei this time!"

In a study room in the Zhennan Grand Governor's Office in Guizhou City, Li Bin held the battle report in his hand and said with some emotion: "Tu Lin is worthy of being the God of War of Wei. In just a few years, the Wei army has almost been transformed. The five armies of our Zhennan Army were all blocked in the border fortress of Wei. Even if the Wei army has the advantage of defending the city, it is already very shocking."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, lord, even if the combat effectiveness of the Wei army is quite good, there is still a big gap compared to our Zhennan Army. As long as our Zhennan Army lands from the eastern coast of Wei, the many arrangements of our Zhennan Army in Wei will be completely disintegrated by Wei. Perhaps this time our Zhennan Army can still make a big profit from the Wei."

Li Bin also smiled at this time, "The main reason is that Tu Lin would not have thought that there would be so many internal supporters of our Zhennan Army among the imperial guards of the Wei State and the government soldiers. The defense system that Tu Lin arranged on the eastern coast was no longer in defense for our Zhennan Army."

After discussion with several military advisors, Li Bin decided that the Zhennan Army would land in Qingkou Port in Shunzhou Prefecture, which was on the east side of the capital road of the Great Wei Empire.

If the Zhennan Army could cross Shunzhou Prefecture, it would directly enter the capital road of the Great Wei Empire and threaten the capital of the Great Wei Empire.

Qingkou Port can be regarded as one of the largest ports in Wei State. Currently, the 32nd Wei State Mansion Guard, which is responsible for the main defense of Qingkou Port, is Xu Ning.

And there are many generals under Xu Ning, who were secretly installed by Yunshe.

Relying on Xu Ning's operation, two of the five brigades of the 32nd Wei State's military guards were sent by Yunshe, and six of the ten deputy brigades were sent by Yunshe.

As long as the Zhennan Navy fleet arrived outside Qingkou Port, Xu Ning would lead the uprising in front of the 32nd Wei State's military guard formation and welcome the Zhennan army into Qingkou Port.

Zhuge Liang then suggested: "Lord, our Zhennan Army landed on the eastern coast of Wei. It is best to wait a little longer, so that the Wei army completely trapped in Xinzhou Prefecture, Rongzhou Prefecture and Weizhou Prefecture are the best time for our Zhennan Army to land."

Li Bin understood what Zhuge Liang meant, and he pondered for a moment before nodding, "It is not easy to land on a large scale from the eastern coast of Wei State. The army needs time to transfer, and food and grass also need time to raise. It can only allow the Lu family's army to persist in Xinzhou Prefecture, Rongzhou Prefecture and Weizhou Prefecture for a while."

"The lord is wise."

"By the way, how are the first expeditionary forces to the Tuz Empire prepared?"

"Lord, the first batch of troops from the southern army in our town to the Tuz Empire will be drawn from the Western Barbarian Protectorate, including two imperial guards and two military guards, as well as about 200,000 township soldiers responsible for escorting food and grass, with a total of almost 640,000 people. Xue Li, the governor of the Western Barbarian Protectorate, will personally serve as the commander of this expeditionary force."

"Well, if Xue Li personally commanded the troops, I will feel relieved."

In the palace of Changle City, the capital of the Great Wei Empire, Emperor Chen Long said to Tu Lin with concern: "Super Tu, after you leave, there will be no changes in the south, right?"

It turned out that Tu Lin had secretly left Xiongyi City and had arranged a substitute in Xiongyi City. Even the many Wei generals in Xiongyi City did not know about Tu Lin's secret departure.

Tu Lin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the five armies in the south of our Great Wei army have been blocked by our Great Wei army. Nothing will happen in a short period of time."

Emperor Chen Long couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Tu Lin's promise, "Ship Tu, what's the matter with you, Tu Shuai, rushing back to Changle City in such a hurry?"

Tu Lin immediately said: "Your Majesty, after the attack on the southern prefectures of our Great Wei was blocked, the Zhennan Army would likely choose to land from the eastern coast of our Great Wei. When the Zhennan Army attacked Zheng State, it carried out a large-scale landing, and finally completely annexed Zheng State."

After pausing, Tu Lin continued, "I am going back to Beijing secretly this time to prepare to mobilize another batch of troops to strengthen the garrison forces of the ports along the eastern coast."

Emperor Chen Long frowned and said, "But now our army in Great Wei has been restrained on the battlefield in the southern part of Yan State and the border areas in the southern part of our Great Wei State. Where can we draw troops to the eastern coast?"

"Your Majesty, even if the Zhennan Army lands from the eastern coast, our Great Wei army can still defend the cities on the eastern coast to exchange space for time. Therefore, I am preparing to recruit more rural soldiers from all over the country. It is best to recruit millions of rural soldiers to put them in the eastern coastal cities. When defending the city, rural soldiers can still play a big role."

"Okay, since Tu Shuai has a plan, I will definitely support it. In terms of money and food, I will let the Ministry of Revenue cooperate with Tu Shuai."
