"I have handed you the 4,000 Chashan Army. Your mission is to attract the main force of the rebels in Jingzhou and prevent the rebels from coming to invade. Can you do it?" Li Yue asked.

The four thousand Chashan Army can barely be considered elite, but the cavalry is only eight hundred, and the remaining 3,200 are all infantry and archers.

There are at least more than 10,000 rebels in Jingzhou, and there are also thousands of people in Xiazhou.

It is not easy to fight with less.

But he didn't even think about it, "I'm doing it!"

"Okay!" Li Yue nodded. As long as he could pass through Jingzhou smoothly, he would arrive in Xiangzhou.

Pei Xing said: "Your Highness, the news of Jianli being attacked must have reached Xiazhou at this time. Bei Zhi led the Chashan Army to Jingzhou.

Your Highness might as well set out a few hours later, and wait until the news will become more powerful. It would be even better if you could give some grenades to the low-level.

It will definitely make them think that a humble position is the main force!”

Li Yue said: "I will give you 40,000 grenades, so use them well!"

There are really not many 40,000 grenades spread to the top of the four thousand Chashan Army.

These 4,000 Chashan Army are not elite. Jingzhou was run by Cui Bolin for many years, leaving many people behind.

Don’t think that Cui Bolin is just a fool if he is taken down by Yuchi Xinxiong.

If there were no Thunder Army and if we wanted to capture Ruyang, we would not have been able to siege the city for more than ten days and thousands of casualties.

It can only be said that the emergence of the Thunder Army changed the war pattern.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Pei Xing bowed and hurriedly left with the Chashan Army.

It was not until the second midnight that Li Yue quietly left Rongcheng with his army.

.........

And at this time, Xiangzhou.

Li Zhi arrived with a large army.

Outside Xiangzhou City is a wide moat.

The widest part is about 200 meters.

Xiangyang has always been known as the most important city.

Some people say that taking over Xiangzhou is equivalent to having a foundation for great cause.

"Your Highness, I think it is not a wise move to attack Xiangzhou now." The aide said: "If you want to take Xiangzhou, it will take only one day to achieve it. Even with a grenade, it will be difficult to blow up the city gate!"

"Who said that I am going to attack Xiangzhou!" Li Zhi smiled and said, "It's just a feint. If you don't do it, how can you hide it from the people inside?

When night falls, the main force of the army continues to go to Jinzhou."

The staff member was stunned, "Didn't you say you went north?"

"It is a major city to go north, and it is dangerous to pass. Isn't it because I go north to death? The reason why I go north is just to act like a gesture and deceive them.

They tricked their army into Xiangzhou and left cannon fodder to delay them.

When they realized that the army had already captured Jinzhou and advanced into the pass.

At that time, even if they returned to help, it would be too late.

Because I have taken over the capital and killed all the royal families, they have no choice!”

The aides of the Twelve Clans in Jiangnan were all secretly shocked.

This move was really cruel and deceived everyone.

"What should I do with Dou Jianming?"

"Dou Jianming is arrogant and can use one or two first. At that time, someone will clean up for me, so don't worry!" Li Zhi said.

Everyone nodded.

At this time, Wang Hong, the general manager of Xiangzhou, stood on the city wall, watching the hundreds of boats sailing towards each other, his eyes full of caution.

These thieves and rebels, in the name of the King of Thailand, took the banner of upholding the right path and tracing the roots, and were simply crazy.

Your Majesty buried the King of Thailand in the imperial tomb with his state funeral. Where did the King of Thailand come from?

"Maintain, all the supplies are ready!"

"Use stone cannons to kill these miscellaneous pieces!"

Wang Hong gave the order, dozens of stone-filled catapults on the city wall ejected out fiercely.

The stones were scattered, some fell into the water, and some fell on the boat, smashing the boat into a big hole.

The unlucky one was killed by a stone!

“Hurry, hurry up and row!”

Hundreds of small boats rowed under the city of Xiangzhou.

It doesn't matter if the boat is not enough.

Li Zhi asked someone to slap bamboos and connect them together.

Just pretend to be a siege.

All these cannon fodders were killed, and he didn't care.

Instead, he was drinking tea in the camp leisurely.

If you lucky enough to take Xiangzhou, it means that he is destined to be in this world.

"Your Highness, you have already attacked the city!"

"Your Highness, Xiangzhou City is too high to be able to conquer it at all!"

"Your Highness..."

It was not until dark that these cannon fodders died 20,000 to 30,000 people.

But under the city of Xiangzhou, the bodies piled up layer by layer.

Those who were stabbed to death by arrows, those who were hit by stones, and those who were climbing and siege and fell down.

The worst thing is that it was burned to death by hot tinder.

The air was filled with the smell of blood and the stinking smell of corpses.

Woo woo woo woo ~

The sound of gold sounded from the other side of the moat.

The enemy faded like a tide.

Wang Hong was also exhausted, but when he saw the enemy fading, he was excited, and cheers from everyone sounded above the city wall.

Wang Hong did not dare to delay and said, "They will continue to attack the city tonight. It is easier to defend during the day, but it is not easy at night.

Let’s make a feast for dinner, and change a group of people to come up at night. Those who participate in the battle during the day will rest after dinner. There is still a fierce battle to fight at night!”

"Yes, the headmaster!"

Soon, smoke from cooking in Xiangzhou City was curling.

Wang Hong used the meal time to ask someone to count the casualties. Although it was defense, more than 500 people died and thousands of people were injured.

There are too many people.

No one expected that in peaceful times, there would be hundreds of thousands of rebellions.

Xiangzhou is the capital of Shannan Road, with only 30,000 defenders and a population of nearly 300,000. It is the largest city in Shannan Road.

I hope reinforcements will come sooner or later, at this speed, it will be a matter of time before it will be broken.

Just as he was thinking, someone came to report: "Master, they have started to attack the city again!"

Wang Hong quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and hurriedly climbed the city wall. He saw more bamboo straits coming than during the day!

His scalp numb, "Hurry up, recruit all the strong men in the city to transport the materials to defend the city. Tonight, no matter what, you must guard it!"

His fist hit the battlement hard.

The sky gradually became dark, but the lights were brightly lit above the city wall.

You can see that the dense torches on the surface of the moat illuminate the moat.

What Wang Hong didn't know was that in the night, the enemy took advantage of the moonlight and did not ignite torches and headed towards Fangzhou.

Only when the sky gradually turned white did Wang Hong see the dawn of victory.

Woo woo woo woo ~

The enemy attacked all night before he stopped the troops!

Only after more than 20,000 troops and the 40,000 civilians who were temporarily recruited could barely defend them.

Everyone was exhausted, and the civilians carried ten yuan, and their hands were grinded into blood.

Wang Hong licked his cracked lips, "The generals rested on the spot, buried the pot and made rice, counted the casualties, and cleaned up the corpses on the city wall.

Continue to carry the city-defense supplies!"

After saying that, tens of thousands of people fell asleep, regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, and whether there were any corpses, leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

For a moment, the snoring sounded loudly, like thunder!
Chapter completed!
