(Thanks for the rewards that dreams have never been completed, thank you!)

Under the city of Chuzhou, the Qin army took advantage of the victory to siege Shanyang.

Under the city, Li Jing is listening to the statistical results of the war.

The Chief Supervisor Gongsun Lan personally reported the results of the battle to Li Jing, and her crisp voice resounded throughout the tent, with excitement and joy in her tone.

The result of this battle is indeed worthy of joy. Before the war, many Qin generals thought that the battle plan was too risky, but at present, the result of the battle was even more gratifying than Li Jing expected. From last night to this afternoon, the battle lasted for nearly a day and a night, and the soldiers fought in the rain, tired and tired. But the results were extremely abundant. Gaoyu Camp in Huaiyin, 30,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, and 10,000 navy soldiers, plus 50,000 civilians. First, they were raided by 10,000 marines on the rainy night, and then Li Jing led 30,000 troops to attack half of the east bank of the canal. First, they cut off half of the Huai army surrounding the river, broke through the Huai army formation with heavy cavalry, and then attacked with light cavalry, and killed the infantry, and defeated the Huai army.

Afterwards, Li Jing sent cavalry to continue pursuing the defeated troops of Duhe River, and led his main force to cross the canal and attack the Huai Army of Weibuhe River.

The battle ended in the afternoon, and the Huai Army that finally fled into Shanyang City had only about 3,000 cavalry and about 5,000 infantrymen. Less than ten thousand people fled into the city.

In this battle, nearly 30,000 people were killed by the Qin army. More than 10,000 people were captured and surrendered by the Huai army. Most of the civilians were finally captured. More than a thousand large and small ships in the Water Village had no time to react when they attacked and guarded the village, but they were finally taken down.

In this battle, the Huai Army was annihilated 30,000 horses and insurgents and captured 10,000. Although the Qin army failed to use firearms in this battle and the power of the bow and crossbow was greatly reduced, the final casualties were somewhat worth mentioning compared with the results. The entire army of 40,000 soldiers participated in the battle. Only 3,000 were killed, almost 10 to 1. However, the Black Flag Army had two thousand heavy cavalrymen, but in this battle, they directly lost 200 cavalry, and 10% of the casualties, which made Li Jing heartbroken.

Fortunately, overall, the Qin army won the battle, and the victory was brilliant.

Except for some of the soldiers who continued to clean the battlefield and search for defeated soldiers. The rest of the soldiers had already arrived at the city of Shanyang and joined the siege.

In the previous battle, the main force of the Huai Army heading north had been destroyed. The Qin army successfully crossed the Huai River and is now in a completely active and advantageous position.

Gai Yu pointed to the three-meter-high outer wall of Shanyang City, frowned and said to Li Jing: "Chuzhou is not easy to fight. Chuzhou City is 16 miles long and has two cities inside and outside. Moreover, there were originally 5,000 Gao Ba's troops stationed in Chuzhou City, and now there are 8,000 soldiers defeated by Gao Yu into the city, with a total of 13,000 soldiers. What's more, a big city in Chuzhou, with more than 50,000 households in the city and 300,000. Gao Yu can collect a large number of young and strong men to help defend the city at any time. What's more important is that Chuzhou has always been the gateway of Huaidong, a military center, and has a large amount of money and grain. This time it is Gao Yu's logistics base, and there is sufficient food and grass in the city."

We must siege and attack a city protected by more than 10,000 elite Huai Army. Moreover, the city is high and the walls are strong, and there is no shortage of food or water in the city. Such a city is not easy to fight.

Li Jing now has only more than 30,000 troops, and three times the troops are siege the city, and it is difficult to capture it in a short period of time.

If time delays for a long time, Gao Pian will definitely mobilize troops to help. On the other hand, Li Jing cannot stay in Huainan for a long time, and the troops in the Sixu area behind him were led south by Li Jing.

"The meaning of the inferior is that this time the Huai Army will be defeated. It will be difficult for the Huai Army to send troops to Huaibei in a short period of time. We might as well withdraw back to Huaibei and take down Xuzhou from Shipu first. As long as we occupy Xu Si and seize Huai and defend it, we can control Gao Pian to the south of the Huai River. Our biggest threat at present is still in the north, and we should first concentrate our efforts to fight the four towns of Hebei in Hebei."

Jing Xiang's proposal was approved by many generals. This was a safe proposal. Although he had just defeated the Huai Army, 30,000 people were killed, which was not enough to truly defeat the Huai Army. Gao Pian's generals were all there, and all the prefectures and counties were also there. Huainan was another wealthy vassalt and iron transfer envoy in the past few years, and he was very rich.

In spring and summer, fighting with Gao Pian in Huainan is not a good choice. If you want to fight, it should be the most suitable thing to fight in autumn and winter.

However, Li Jing was a little unwilling to accept it and finally defeated the Huai Army.

The main force of the Huai Army has been defeated. At present, the prefectures and counties in Huainan are like desserts placed in front of you. How could Li Jing leave without taking a bite? And now it is also an excellent opportunity for Li Jing.

The main force of the Huai Army was defeated. As long as Li Jing could quickly capture Shanyang, Chuzhou, Li Jing could lead his troops along the canal, take warships to Yangzhou, and directly attack Gao Pian's nest Yangzhou.

Capturing the thief and capturing the king, attacking Huanglong, and conquering Yangzhou in one battle. As long as Huang Chao is captured, Huainan Town will be finished and Gao Pian will be finished directly.

This is a huge temptation. Even if Gao Pian wants to transfer the troops and horses of the eight states in Huainan Town, it is too late.

At this time, evacuation and release Gao Pian, so that Gao Pian can recover in less than two years with the wealth in Huainan. This is what Li Jing is unwilling to accept.

"Is there really no way to take Chuzhou in a short time?" Li Jing asked with his chin pinched his chin, "If we can take Shanyang, we can not only open the Huaidong gate, but also have more than 10,000 elite Huai army soldiers in the city, especially the Huai army generals. I don't want to let them go in vain."

Chuzhou cannot attack forcefully, and it will be difficult to attack forcefully, and it will cause great casualties to the Qin army. The key is that even if a strong attack force is difficult to capture, even if it is strong, Li Jing does not have much time to transport large stone catapults, firearms and other weapons to attack the city.

You can't attack forcefully, you can only take advantage of your wits. However, it is not easy to come up with a way to conquer Chuzhou in a short time.

Yangzhou, Guangling.

Gao Pian was reviewing his newly established left and right Moye Army. The newly recruited army had a total of 20,000 troops, but the left and right Moye Army was not served by generals such as Liang Zhang, Yu Gongchu, etc., but Lu Yongzhi and Zhang Shouyi, among the three sorcerers around him, served as left and right military envoys for this new army of the tooth army. Moye Army was exquisite in weapons and armor, clean clothes, and the food and salary far exceeded that of other armies. Lu Yongzhi and Zhang Shouyi, the two sorcerers in the martial arts world, also became popular and powerful figures under Gao Pian.

However, although Lu Yongzhi and Zhang Shouyi were a wise man, they were still very good at doing things on the surface. The new troops they recruited were all tall and strong. At first glance, they were extraordinary. Gao Pian was very satisfied with it.

Just after reviewing the new army, the commander of the General's Office rushed over and reported to him an extremely shocking news.

Gao Yu was defeated by Li Jing in Huaiyin yesterday. The entire army was killed in battle and was captured 10,000. The remaining 8,000 troops retreated into Chuzhou City.

Gao Pian, wearing a Taoist robe, shook and almost fainted on the ground.

Just recruited 20,000 new troops here, but 30,000 were killed in the other side and 10,000 were captured. If the troops defeated by Liang Zhang were included, Gao Pian's family was almost defeated.

"Li Jing personally led tens of thousands of troops to besiege Chuzhou!"

Gao Pian took a breath of air conditioning. At the Huaidong line, there were only more than 10,000 troops in Chuzhou. If Chuzhou was lost, Li Jing would come straight to Yangzhou along the Kangou. Gao Pian, who had always been calm, felt cold in his heart at this time and was really scared.

He is a famous general, and Li Jing is not a good fighter. He has defeated Shatuo, defeated Khitan, fought the Bohai Sea, and destroyed Goguryeo. He has fought no fewer battles than him. Although Li Jing has not many soldiers at present, only 40,000, but now in Yangzhou City, he has only been recruited by the 20,000 new troops, which is only about 50,000.

Li Jingzhen called him, but he was confident that he could hold on. But the key point was that if Li Jingzhen came to Yangzhou City, he would not have been able to protect the one-eyed Zhou Bao from Jiangnan, and at that time, the heroes could not resist the wolves.

Gao Pian immediately made up his mind that he would have to keep Chuzhou and block Li Jing from the north of Huaihe River.

"Recruit all troops immediately and send troops tomorrow morning." Gao Pian issued a loud military order.

Fortunately, he was originally going to hand over 80,000 troops to Gao Yu, but because Zhou Bao suddenly sent troops to defeat Liang Zhang's troops, Gao Pian kept the subsequent 30,000 people. At present, the 30,000 people were still in Gaoyou. Otherwise, Gao Pian would probably have delivered vegetables together even if the 30,000 people had already arrived at Gao Yu's hands.

"Send someone to Gaoyou immediately and ask Shen Ji and Han Shide to wait for this king in Gaoyou."

Three hundred and sixty miles from Yangzhou to Chuzhou, and one hundred and fifty miles from Yangzhou to Gaoyou.

Although Gao Pian chose to go both land and water, even if he took a boat from Hangou to Chuzhou, it would take as fast as three days.

The next morning, Gao Pian personally led his troops to Chuzhou for rescue and arrived in Gaoyou by boat one day and night.

As soon as he got off the boat, the two generals Shen and Han Shide who were waiting for him in Gaoyou told Gao Pian a bad news.

Although Gao Pian came to help immediately, it was still too late.

Just after three days, Li Jing had already broken into Chuzhou.

"How is this possible?" Gao Pian's hair and beard stood up with anger. "Chuzhou is the gateway to Huaidong, a military city, with two cities, and there are more than 10,000 troops and horses in the city at this time. Li Jing only had 30,000 to 40,000 troops, how could he take Chuzhou in three days?"

You know, although Gao Yu was newly defeated, Gao Yu was not the kind of guy who talked about war on paper. What's more, he had many veteran Huai Army under his command, how could he lose again and again? After hearing the specific story of the defeat in Huaiyin, he had already seen that the defeat that day was a treacherous plan by Li Jing. But now he is guarding Chuzhou City, why can't he defend it for three days?

Shen Ji sighed in a low voice: "Li Jing is extremely cunning. He asked someone to block the Hangou Canal, built a dike, and stored water to flood the city of Chuzhou. Li Jing directly led his troops to row a boat to attack Chuzhou at night. The generals in the city could not defend it, and Chuzhou fell into Li Jing's hands."

When Gao Pian heard that Li Jing had actually flooded the city with water, he was so angry that he split the table in half with a sword.

Li Jing is too cunning, this is simply a trick.

"Where is Shijuro and the others?"

Han Shide said helplessly: "There are almost no 13,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and there are only hundreds of escapees. I heard that the generals of Forty-Shiro, Yao, Yu, Chen, and Feng fled in the chaos, but there is no news about their whereabouts yet. The worse news is that they cannot find out their whereabouts. The better news is that Li Jing did not capture them."

"Where is Li Jing's troops now?" Gao Pian's heart was bleeding. When Chuzhou was lost, the gate of Huaidong opened.

"After Li Jing captured Chuzhou, his troops were divided into three groups. Zeng Yuanyu led 10,000 left army to attack Xuyi, another important town in Huaidong. Li Jing led 20,000 central army to go south along Hangou, and had captured Anyi, and was leading his army to Gaoyou. In addition, Lin Wei led the Right Army to divide 5,000 troops to attack Yancheng, and Zhao Yu led 5,000 troops to stay in Chuzhou."

Gao Chu only felt dizzy. Although Li Jing's troops were divided into different routes, his goal was very clear, which was to directly target Yangzhou. He attacked Xuyi and Tianchang on the left, Yancheng and Hailing on the right, and Anyi and Gaoyou on the middle, and finally attacked Yangzhou. After sweeping the outer periphery of Yangzhou, he would directly attack Yangzhou.

Li Jing now has only 40,000 people in Huainan, but since Li Jing has taken Chuzhou, the empty Xuyi may also be lost. Li Jing now has a great advantage over Huainan, and it is not guaranteed that Li Jing will mobilize a large army to go south and prepare to swallow the eight prefectures in Huainan Town in one bite.

Maybe he should have to bear it anymore, Gao Pian couldn't help but think that if Li Jing, Li Keyong and the four towns of Hebei, the Khitans and others fought first and then started, maybe there would be no such bad situation today. But now, Gao Pian has no way out.

If you retreat again, Yangzhou will be driven into the Yangtze River and you will be fed to the Yangtze River.

Anger provoked her heart, and Gao Pian stabbed her sword to the ground.
