The successive good news did not make Xu Mu fall into ecstasy. With the destruction of the Cangzhou Navy, the river bank was no longer fortified. At this time, Xu Mu, with more than 20,000 men and horses, camped in the hidden mountains.
"Little boss, everyone is vying for military glory!" Chang Wei was a little anxious.
At this moment, it was seen that the entire Cangzhou was being pressed step by step, retreating to the last ten cities. It happened that at this time, a large group of them were still hiding in the mountains and had not made any achievements.
"Don't worry, if I think too much, I will make up for your military exploits when the time comes." Xu Mu comforted you. He also hoped that he was overthinking it.
Until now, King Liang has not appeared, and many of King Qin’s troops have not moved yet. Including Qingzhou Tang Wuyuan, no one has been seen at this time.
You must know that the Demon Queen has taken the official title. No matter what, there are many diehards of all kinds of Daji who do the work of the King of Qin.
"Chang Wei, rectify the army."
Chang Wei, who was originally depressed, suddenly became pleasantly surprised when he heard Xu Mu's words.
"Little boss, are you planning to attack the city?"
"Others will do the siege. What I mean is to go deep into the hinterland of Cangzhou first."
Chang Wei didn't understand, "My little boss's fighting skills are weird and weird. Unlike my young master, he just started doing it with all his strength."
Xu Mu smiled. In many cases, he does not have the background of Tsuneshiro. So much so that they couldn't afford to lose at all. If they lost just one game, the whole of Xishu would be limping.
…
The sky in Hebei is not like that in Jiangnan. Even though spring has begun, there are still layers of dark clouds covering the entire world.
Standing at the top of the city, Chang Shiro's brows furrowed deeply for a moment.
When the weather improved in spring, he immediately set about attacking the city. The Dieshi Pass in front has been blocking the Yuzhou Black Armored Army for too long.
"Lord, something is wrong." Liu Zhongde was standing by. After looking forward for a while, he suddenly spoke calmly.
"What?"
"The stacked stones were closed, and the defense became lax."
Chang Shiro was startled, "Zhongde, you can see this."
The old counselor nodded, "In the past few days, I have sent people to observe the enemy city. First, the reserve battalion for changing defenses is not like last year, which is every half a day. Second, Gongsunzu likes to wait and see at the top of the city, but I haven’t seen him in the past few days.”
"He is a dwarf. Maybe the scout didn't see clearly..."
"But he is also a prince and can wear golden armor."
Changshiro was silent for a long time before calmly speaking.
"What does Zhongde mean?"
"The army does not need to attack with all its strength. Let's use a feint attack first to see if there is any deception in front of Dieshi Pass."
"Just listen to Zhongde."
The next day, Yuzhou's feigned attack army had just rushed halfway to Dieshi Pass. Suddenly, a huge line of cavalry, as far as the eye could see, divided into two wings and ambushed out from in front of Dieshi Pass.
The army that pretended to attack was defeated in an instant.
Changshiro, who was standing at the top of the city, was shocked to see what he saw. At the same time, there is also a kind of fear in my heart. Fortunately, he listened to Liu Zhongde's words. Otherwise, if the Yuzhou Army attacked with all its strength, it would probably be smashed to pieces.
"Lord, Yanzhou does not have so many cavalry."
"Damn it, Gongsun Zu is such a bitch, could it be that he really invited foreign reinforcements?"
"It should be from Rouran."
Changshiro was so angry that he hit the city wall with his fist. I fought at Dieshiguan for two or three years, but I always encountered such nonsense.
"Zhongde, I remember it. When the young master left, he vaguely mentioned this meaning. Gongsun Zu may really be a member of the Demon Queen."
"With at least 60,000 to 70,000 enemy cavalry, including infantry, our Yuzhou army may be in trouble this time. My lord, the best strategy is to switch from attack to defense."
Under the city wall, countless enemy cavalry threw their bows and shot, and in the sky, there were raised goshawks, constantly circling and probing.
Just waiting for the ten thousand horses to charge, Changshiro stood at the gate of the city and felt that the whole earth was shaking.
"Zhongde, this scene is almost the same as when I was resisting the Beidi people in Hezhou."
"What do you mean, lord?"
Changshiro frowned and looked at the roaring and wailing enemy cavalry army below, and an uneasy premonition suddenly surged through his body.
"Gongsun Zu is leading enemies into the pass. These enemies are not the princes of the Central Plains, but foreign races."
"This madman." The old counselor also cursed bitterly.
"If I'm not mistaken, Gongsunzu opened the Fengxue Pass, welcomed the Rouran people into the pass, and set foot in the Central Plains. But I don't understand how Gongsunzu, who is also considered a tycoon, could do such a stupid thing. The harm caused by foreign tribes is very serious. To tigers and wolves.”
"That dog-husband has a pig's brain. Zhongde wrote a letter to the little boss and said that what he was worried about has happened."
"In addition, please pass on the order. I, Chang Shiro, will break the Rouran people's dog legs in Hebei!"
Just after he finished speaking, Tsuneshiro suddenly thought of something. He turned his head anxiously and looked in the direction of Hezhou.
"Zhongde, have you received any letters from Jiulang recently?"
"I just received the letter from the pigeon a few days ago, saying that there is nothing important. I am following Lian Yong's training strategy and training the new army hard."
Tsuneshiro was silent for a while.
"In this way, you can send two more confidant supervisors to Hezhou. Take my token and be sure to ride fast horses and get there as early as possible."
Chang Shiro looked like he was as smart as Liu Ji, and he could vaguely guess what was going on. But he didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and immediately walked out of the tent.
"If there is chaos in the Central Plains, then the military strength besieging Cangzhou will be in danger." Chang Shiro frowned. He very much hoped that he was overthinking it.
"Chang Jiulang, you better not have any problems, otherwise I will hang you and beat you to death sooner or later!"
…
In Jiangnan, the siege is far from stopping.
But the last ten cities of Cangzhou, with strong walls and thick walls, had been built and repaired by the Demon Queen earlier. Even though the Allied forces were so powerful, they did not win another city for four or five days in a row.
Zuo Shiren stood on the high ground with a cold look on his face.
According to the recently obtained information, not only the soldiers of Cangzhou were guarding the city, but also many mobilized civilians. These individuals had been instilled with the idea of "fighting against the national calamity together" and really regarded the Allies as rebels.
At this time, a servant came hurriedly.
"Lord, lord, over there in the South China Sea League, the King of Zhuzhou died in battle!"
Zuo Shiren froze when he heard the news.
"Why?"
There was deep sadness in General Pi's voice.
"The King of Zhuzhou divided his troops and led 10,000 people to attack another small city. Unexpectedly, cavalry suddenly came out of the city. The King of Zhuzhou was killed on the spot, and the remaining troops also retreated and returned to the headquarters of the South China Sea Alliance."
Zuo Shiren closed his eyes bitterly.
He was not familiar with the King of Zhuzhou, and they had two glasses of wine together during the alliance meeting. But he understood that with the sudden death of the King of Zhuzhou, the morale of the Allied forces would inevitably be affected.
"Xu Buyi is right, the Demon Queen has always kept her back."
"Then now..."
"Don't stop, continue to attack the city. Under such military might, the Demon Queen cannot stop it! It's nothing more than a fight between trapped beasts!"
Zuo Shiren raised his head, with a chill in his voice.
"When Cangzhou is captured and I capture the Demon Queen, I will burn her alive!"
