Chapter 170: The War is Tight (Continued)

At the top of the city of Weishi, there was a mess. The Zhou soldiers who were attached to the city swept the remaining Chen soldiers like a tide. The siege lasted for fifteen days. Finally, it was the last moment. The Chen soldiers who fought stubbornly failed to create a miracle. All those who did not surrender were killed in battle.

On the city tower, the flagpole was cut off, and the broken Chen flag fell to the ground. Cheers like a tide resounded throughout the sky. Zhou Bing cleared the blocked city gate. After a moment, the north gate of Weishi City slowly opened, and soldiers outside the city immediately entered the city.

In the northern suburbs of the city, outside the central tent of the Zhou army's camp, the marshal of Jiangnan Road, Yuchi Youqi put down the thousand-mile mirror and handed it to his entourage to talk to the marshal, Sima Xiamen. The city of Yushi had been taken down, and the Zhou army finally came to the north bank of the Yangtze River and confronted Jiankang, the capital of Chen State on the south bank.

"Marson, Taoye Mountain in the southeast of the Weishi needs to be stationed. You can build a water camp on the riverside on the southern foot of Taoye Mountain to build warships."

"Sima Changshi, it's too late to build warships by relying on the water camp in Taoye Mountain."

"Of course it's too late, but as long as our army builds a watershed village in Taoye Mountain, the Jiankang defenders on the other side will not dare to take it lightly. The navy warships dare not transfer to other places and have no time to support Jingkou and Caishi."

"Where has the Qingzhou navy been?"

"We still berthed on the coast of Yancheng County. Our army has not yet captured Guangling. The navy entered the Yangtze River at this time and there is no place to berth."

"What's going on in Guangling?"

"It can be won in just a few days." Sima Xiaonan answered with certainty.

After hearing this, Yuchi Youqi signaled a general to come forward and asked him to send someone to Yancheng County, Binhai, Wuzhou, to send orders to the Qingzhou navy that went south to prepare and wait for Guangling to enter the Yangtze River.

There was a busy scene around, and the soldiers began to pack up their tents and prepare to enter the city. Yuchi Youqi looked south and looked into the distance, trying to see Jiankang City, the tenacious city on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

For hundreds of years, even though the Northern Army was at the foot of Jiankang City, it never captured it. Although the Southern Dynasties had changed several dynasties, every time Jiankang changed its ownership, it was caused by internal chaos in the Southern Dynasties.

During the various chaos during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Qi and Liang Dynasty, the troops that captured Jiankang City were all powerful ministers and vassal kings. However, the Northern Dynasties' army never met their wishes. The only thing that was related was Hou Jing, the rebel general of Qi State at that time.

However, when Hou Jing rebelled against Qi and entered Liang, there were only 800 remaining soldiers. Later, the rebellious army of Liang State was relying on the Liang State's rebellion. Now, the Northern Dynasties' army finally crossed the river and moved south to rewrite history.

And the person who rewrites history is him, Yuchi Youqi!

Thinking of this, Yuchi Youqi was a little expectant. As the head coach of the Ping Chen this time, he never dared to take it lightly, for fear that if he was careless, it would lead to slow progress in the war and make people laugh at him for being incompetent.

Now there are rumors that he has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand and has made slow progress in attacking Huainan prefectures and counties, which is worse than the commander of the Zhou army back then. The reason why he can be the commander of one side is only because of his brother who is the prime minister.

Who is spreading these rumors? I don’t know, but I can guess it roughly: people who are dissatisfied with the Yuchi family are spreading rumors and causing trouble!

‘If an incompetent person cannot get the power, he can only speak out!’

Yuchi Youqi scoffed at these rumors, but after all, he was young and strong, and he still had the idea of ​​competing in his heart. He felt that he had done a good job.

More than eight years ago, in November of the first year of the Elephant in Zhou State, Duke Wei Xiaokuan of Yun State was appointed as the marshal of the marshal and led his army to attack the prefectures and counties in Jiangbei State. In the next year, in January of the second year of the Elephant, he took down all the land of Chen State in Jiangbei and returned to the court.

The Jiangbei Huainan prefectures and counties, which also attacked the Chen State, Wei Xiaokuan ended the battle in January of the following year. Now, Yuchi Youqi, the marshal of the army, also sent troops in November, and finally pacified Huainan prefectures and counties in early February of the following year.

Judging from time, he is indeed not as good as Wei Xiaokuan back then, but the other party is a veteran on the battlefield who has experienced many battles. This is the first time that Yuchi Youqi himself is the head coach of the entire army. With such results, he doesn't think he has done a bad job.

What's more, I will have to break through Jiankang next! At that time, I will see who else dares to sarcastically!

Yuchi Youqi thought so, so he was very excited about the next battle. As long as he took Guangling, the next thing would be much easier.

The Weishi in front of him was the prefecture of Fangzhou, which was across the river from Jiankang, Jiangnan. The Hezhou Prefecture of the north bank on the upper reaches was occupied by the Zhou army a few days ago.

Liyang is located on the edge of the Yangtze River. The one across the river is the Chen State quarry. Quarry has been a key point in the Yangtze River since ancient times. If the Zhou army crossed the river and climbed the south bank of 6 from then on, it could threaten the south side of Jiankang.

The soon-to-be-taken Wuzhou Prefecture is located in the lower reaches of the Weishi. The one across the river is the Jingkou of Chen State, which is also another important Yangtze River. If the Zhou army crosses the river and reaches the south bank of 6 from then on, they can threaten Jiankang City from the north.

As long as the Zhou army climbed 6 Jingkou at the same time, quarried and attacked Jiankang from north to south, it would be like taking down the capital of the Southern Dynasty. However, the problem was that it was necessary to control the river surface, so the water battle between the two armies before crossing the river could not be avoided.

The Zhou State was still very strong in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. However, Yuchi Youqi did not intend to let the Huangzhou naval army advance eastward to support his side, because he could trust the strength of the Qingzhou naval army.

For Yuchi Youqi, the Qingzhou naval army was led by his own people, so of course he could trust it. As for Yuwen Wen's Huangzhou naval army, it would be inconvenient.

When he thought of Yuwen Wen, Yuchi Youqi was in a bad mood. Of course, he was not having a grudge against Yuwen Wen, but just out of instinctive competition. After all, Yuwen Wen, as a marching marching in Lingnan Road, was astonishingly fast as Yuchi Youqi expected.

He originally thought that Yuwen Wen wanted to conquer Jiangzhou and pacify Lingnan for more than half a year, but later he received a war report saying that the Lingnan Road marched through Dayu Ling a few days ago. It seemed that maybe Yuchi Youqi had already captured Guangzhou before he conquers Jiankang.

The marcher Yu Wenming of Jiangnan West Road was not slow to advance. The rule of Xiangzhou Prefecture has been taken down, and it is no longer difficult to pacify the entire Xiangzhou area.

The Yuchi family is so angry that it is so powerful that the Yuchi family now has great power. Many people are comparing the Yuchi family with the Yuwen family. I won’t talk about other things. Just talking about the two Yuwen family’s performance this time, the Yuchen family performed well, and Yuchi Youqi’s record is a bit overshadowed by comparison.

It’s not that there is a problem with the record, but that the troops in his hands are much stronger than others. In comparison, the situation is mediocre, so it’s no wonder that someone starts to spread rumors with a sarcastic look.

An assistant officer hurried in with the messenger and submitted the battle report to Yuchi Youqi. He just glanced it briefly and his face became solemn: "What's going on? Something happened in Jiangzhou?"

"Yes, there are Xigou in Jiangzhou now in various counties, and the government troops are attacking each other..."

"Western...dog? What is a West Dog?"

Yuchi Youqi didn't understand what the commander said was "Western Dog" mentioned by the commander, and Sima Yingnan explained: "The Xidog is a despicable title for Jiangzhou people in the Southern Dynasty."

"So that's it. It seems that the war in Jiangzhou is in a tight position..."
