Chapter 140 The Battle of Miao County(1/2)

Ningze's army won a great victory, captured 50,000 enemy troops, and seized countless resources.

Jin Rong's subordinates Fan Sheng, Helianjin, Zhu Dai, Chai Ding and Dai Yuan surrendered, and all the prisoners were collected. Ningze's troops reached 100,000, and they marched towards Gaoli County in a mighty manner.

Jin Rong returned from a great defeat, and more than half of the 150,000 troops were lost. Zheng Mian was shocked.

Lin was furious and wanted to kill Jin Rong.

Cheng Sun advised: "You can't kill the general without any chance now. You can take him down for the time being and make plans after he wins off Ning Ze."

So Lin asked Zheng Mian to order Jin Rong to be dismissed and temporarily put him in jail. At the same time, Zheng Mian's uncle and Lin Yuanzhi were appointed as general.

When Zheng Mian learned that Ning Ze's troops are now approaching Gao Li with 100,000 troops, he urgently asked Cheng Sun how to resist.

Cheng Sun replied: "Ningze won a great victory and his morale is strong! He also has a large army of 100,000, and is unable to compete with the enemy. The lord can recruit troops from the other four armies to guard Gao Li and hold on in the city."

"The enemy's forces are powerful and Jin Rong is defeated. How can we defend the city?" Lin asked.

Cheng Sun replied: "Gaoli City has high walls and sufficient military rations. No matter how he grows wings, he can't fly in!"

"Even if he keeps the city, what if he doesn't retreat?" Lin asked again.

"The soldiers and horses of Yuanzhou will definitely defeat Dewey! We just need to stick to it. When the soldiers and horses of Yuanzhou will come back and encircle us, Ning Ze will definitely be defeated!" Cheng Sun was full of confidence.

Zheng Mian once again mobilized Hanzhou troops to Gaoli and stood firm in the city.

Ningze's army arrived in Gaoli, and surrendered general Helianjin asked for an order to attack the city.

Therefore, Helianjin was appointed as the vanguard and ordered Fan Sheng, Zhu Dai, Ran Cao, Chai Ding and Dai Yuan to assist him and lead troops to the expedition.

The six surrendered generals were treated with courtesy in Ning Ze, and were grateful and led their troops to attack the city.

But Gaoli City is solid and cannot be captured for a long time.

The Ningze army is temporarily stationed forty miles outside the city and is far away from each other.

On the other hand, Yuanzhou Governor Su Jun personally led his troops to reinforce and joined forces with Fang Ping.

There were many soldiers on the other side, and Yu Song advised Dewey not to attack.

Dewey asked how to retreat.

After thinking about it, Yu Song whispered: "The troops and horses of Yuanzhou are all in Danyang, Su Jun and Fang Ping are all here, and the territory is empty. Zhao Qing can set up a void army so that he dare not act rashly. We will lead our troops to sneak into Yuanzhou secretly and attack Miao County as enemy troops!"

Dewey followed Yu Song's plan, so he asked Zhao Qing to stay behind, planted Sheng flags in the forest, and set up countless scarecrows to lay down their void soldiers. He led the army and cooperated with Yu Song to take a detour to Yuanzhou quietly.

When they arrived in Yuanzhou, the front army changed into the captured Yuanzhou military uniforms, tricked the switch to attack and occupy the enemy, and quickly drove to Miao County.

Late at night, the Miao County Governor's garrison was patrolling the city walls and suddenly found a soldier coming towards him and quickly prepared for alert.

When the other party approached, they found that it was his own troops, so they asked loudly on the city wall: "Which unit do you belong to?"

"General," someone in front of him shouted, "We are here to collect grains under the order of the envoy! The enemy attacked our granary, causing the military ration to be burned. We are in urgent need of food and grass at present!"

"Can you have token documents?"

"It's in a hurry, only the lord's letter!"

"How do you believe you without token documents?"

"The war ahead is tight, so you can only act expediently! General Fang sent guards around him to testify!"

It turned out that in the previous battle, the Chinese Fangping trusted guards were captured and used in a chaotic battle.

"Open the door quickly!" Fang Ping's guard walked to the front and shouted with his head raised.

Someone behind him secretly held a sword, and stabbed him to death on the spot whenever he had any abnormal movement.

In order to survive, I can only cooperate.

The city carefully checked and recognized the guards in the fire, so they opened the city gate.

The army entered Miao County and suddenly launched an attack to kill the soldiers guarding the city.

Dewey personally led the troops to attack the defenders in the city.

The soldiers in the city were unable to react and were dazzled. When they woke up, the city had been occupied by Dewey, and the prefect of Miao County was pulled out by Dewey and directly chopped off.

All civil and military officials who refused to surrender were beheaded, and the rest could only be honest and obedient in order to survive.

Dewey occupied Miao County and asked Yu Song what to do next.

After thinking about it, Yu Song suggested that Dewey find a family from the surrendered officials who are all in Miao County, and take his family as the host. While Su Jun had not discovered Miao County was occupied, he turned around and turned back to Danyang. He asked the official to trick the Danyang City and launch a surprise attack.

So Dewey selected one of the surrendered officials and ordered him to go to war with the army.

In order to protect the lives of the family, the official could only agree.

When Dewey attacked Miao County, the road was blocked and information was forbidden.

In this era of news blockage, it is not too difficult to do it.

The army turned around and moved towards Danyang and soon arrived at Danyang County City.

When the night was dark and the wind was high, the front army changed into Yuanzhou military uniforms and ordered the surrendered officials to lead the way and arrive at the city gate.

The defenders in the city asked about their identity, and the officials presented documents stamped by the prefect of Miao County, saying that they were transporting military rations to arrive.

Miao County was captured and the prefect was killed, so the official seal fell into the hands of Dewey.

The defenders checked the documents and found no problems after comparing them, so they believed it and opened the city gate directly.

Dewey immediately led his troops into the city and ordered people to set fires everywhere.

When Su Jun and Fang Ping heard the news, they hurriedly led their troops to check it out. As a result, they were shocked when they met Dewey.

Dewey immediately slapped his horse and charged, quickly caught up with Fang Ping, and stabbed him to death for five rounds.

Then he broke through the enemy's siege and rushed straight towards Su Jun.

Su Jun saw Dewey rushing left and right, invincible, and came to the front of him in a blink of an eye. He was so scared that his face was pale and he hurriedly turned around and fled.

Dewey chased after him and recognized Su Jun's golden armor.

After a while of pursuit, no one can stop it.

The confidant Feng Ning saw Dewey chasing him, so he said, "Lord, please take off your armor!"

Su Jun quickly took off his golden armor, Feng Ning replaced it and fled in different directions of Su Jun.

Dewey was indeed trapped and turned around and chased Feng Ning.

Su Jun took the opportunity to hang out among the chaotic army and quickly evacuated.

Dewey caught up with Feng Ning and shouted: "Su Jun died!"

Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, Feng Ning immediately turned his horse and raised his sword to fight, but was stabbed to death by Dewey with a spear.

Dewey dismounted and checked, and found that it was not Su Jun who died, so he realized that he had fallen into the plan.

Yu Song rushed over and said to Dewey: "It's a pity that Su Jun escaped with the golden cicada! We can take off this set of golden armor and lied that Su Jun is dead."

Dewey followed the advice and ordered people to take off Su Jun's golden armor, and yelled around with a gun: "Su Jun is dead! Su Jun is dead!"

The soldiers and horses in Yuanzhou, which were already very chaotic, were even more frightened and had no desire to fight.

Many generals gave up their resistance and led their subordinates to surrender. Su Jun and Fang Ping were both dead, how could they meet the enemy without a leader?

There were also some generals who were more loyal and knew that they could not continue fighting in this situation. They led their soldiers to retreat from Ximen and fled from Danyang.

Dewey's troops successfully recaptured Danyang County, welcomed Zhao Qing into the city, and ordered him to lead troops to guard the city, and led the army to chase out of the city with Yu Song, and wanted to drive Su Jun to Miao County.

Su Jun didn't know that Miao County had been occupied by Dewey, and when he arrived at Miao County, he would be attacked from front to back.

After escaping from Danyang City, Su Jun gathered the defeated troops.

When they learned that Su Jun was not dead, their subordinates gathered to reorganize the army.

Dewey suddenly came from behind. After the army was defeated, Su Jun dared not to bear it, so he sent his confidant to lead the troops behind the palace, and the main force fled at full speed.

Dewey fought back the troops behind the palace and chased them reluctantly.

After arriving at Miao County, Su Jun ordered the city gate to be opened.

The city gate opened wide, and suddenly a cannon fired, and the flag was quickly changed on the city. A huge character Du raised up and the army rushed out.

Su Jun's face changed drastically, and he could not understand how Miao County was occupied by Dewey.

Behind him, Dewey himself led his troops to chase him, and Dewey's troops were in front of him, and his plan to go to the city to rest was dashed.

Although he couldn't figure out the situation, Su Jun decisively ordered his head to turn around and run wildly and retreat to Yuanzhou Yuanjun.

Dewey traveled day and night, chasing him to the border of Yuanjun.

The Yuan County troops broke out in front of him to rescue Su Jun.

The two armies fought fiercely, and Dewey led his troops to charge several times but failed.

After all, the army came from Danyang and had almost no stop time along the way, so they were reluctant to leave Su Jun, so the soldiers were tired.

The other party is stationed here to wait for labor, and the troops are more than Dewey.

Even if Dewey is strong, he cannot lead his troops to defeat the opponent in a tired state.

In desperation, he could only give up Su Jun and retreat for the time being, watching the other party escape under the cover of Yuanzhou soldiers.
