"How can this be!"
He Chou couldn't believe his eyes, his whole body was trembling slightly, and the composure he had just exerted was completely broken.
As a top master craftsman, he has strong confidence in the defense system he supervised. He spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the stone wall defense line, even if it was a little hasty.
But the Huai army should be held back for at least two or three days.
And the scene before him.
However, the Huai army only dispatched thousands of elites, and they rushed directly onto the stone wall. The Huai army was as powerful as a tiger, but the defenders he commanded were weak and weak, like sheep being slaughtered.
"He Shangshu, give the order quickly. The enemy has climbed onto the stone wall. Quickly mobilize the crossbows!"
A lieutenant beside him jumped anxiously.
The lieutenant general also did not expect that He Chou and Shangshu, who were entrusted with important tasks by the King of Wei, fell into isolation after being suddenly hit, and could not command the troops to defend in time.
In his opinion, there are still nearly 100,000 troops on his side. Even if the Huai army is brought ashore and the two armies confront each other, there is a high chance of victory.
What's more, there are stone walls and trenches as lines of defense.
Under the repeated calls of the deputy general.
He Chou quickly returned to normal. He suppressed his emotions, followed the advice of the generals around him, and mobilized his troops to besiege the Huai army who had climbed up the stone wall.
The sound of fighting rose into the sky.
After the Sui army returned to normal, the Huai army immediately felt a little pressure.
Seeing this, Yang Kan suddenly sneered, holding his long spear and striding like flying, specifically looking for the generals of the Sui army, and in a moment of anger, he harvested the lives of the generals.
In just one tea break, several huge cracks were torn out in the Sui army's defense system.
In the middle of a fight.
Yang Kan suddenly felt a hint of threat. He subconsciously circulated Gang Qi and raised his long tree to block his side. The next moment, a whistling sound came from the void.
A slender and sharp arrow, with fine lines carved all over its body, pierced through the Yang Kan's Gang Qi attached to the Changshan with a little bit of indestructible edge, and shot through the Changshan made of fine steel.
However, the arrow lost its power after it penetrated the long shaft. Only the arrow cluster penetrated and the arrow body remained outside.
"How brave!"
Yang Kan was attacked and became furious.
If this arrow were to hit him, it would definitely penetrate the protective aura and cause considerable damage to him.
Since refining Gang Qi, Yang Kan has never encountered such a threat.
His eyes were like lightning, he turned around and scanned, immediately locking his eyes on several armored enemy soldiers with crossbows a hundred feet away.
He roared wildly, jumped off the stone wall, and ignored the Sui soldiers in front of him. The strong wind swept through, flying a large number of enemy soldiers, and rushed to the crossbow in the blink of an eye.
boom!
The long sword swept across, and the bodies of several elite Sui soldiers armed with crossbows exploded into pieces and turned into a mist of blood.
"Even the God-breaking Crossbow can't kill this person!"
When He Chou in the distance saw this scene, he was even more panicked.
The God-Breaking Crossbow was a sharp weapon that he had worked hard to research. It was specially designed to break the general's energy and use it for sneak attacks. Even a sixth-level general would be hit accidentally.
This was also the confidence for him to lead his troops south and take control of Shaobo Lake.
Otherwise, he Chou doesn't understand the military methods and would not come to die.
Speaking of which, he used the method of weapons to penetrate the general's aura... This can be counted among the Mohist methods.
In He Chou's panicked and regretful eyes.
Yang Kan seemed to be aware of it. His eyes first glanced, and then sharply focused on his location.
He Chou's eyes trembled.
The next moment, Yang Kan led hundreds of elite soldiers and ran down the stone wall, charging directly in the direction of He Chou...
Under the sweeping force of the sixth-level generals, no trenches, no horses, no crossbows, no stone bullets, could stop Yang Kan's advance.
There were no more surprises.
After two sticks of incense.
Seeing Yang Kan's unstoppable impact, He Chou knew there was nothing he could do and prepared to flee on horseback, but was captured alive by Yang Kan.
Yang Shuang and the 100,000 troops that Yangzhou City had mobilized so hard.
There was also a defense line built with more than 300,000 manpower, which did not block even an hour. The continuous defense line, the accumulated supplies, and the two to three hundred thousand men and women who were detained ten miles away and suffered from hunger.
All fell into the hands of the Huai army.
"Brother Sheep captured the enemy general alive and defeated an army of 100,000 men in an hour. He is truly a great general!"
Fu Youde went ashore at this time, but did not go to the canal to block it immediately.
He praised continuously.
The Sui army was able to dominate Huaidong and overpower the other three princes. Its strength was pretty good, but the one hundred thousand Sui army in front of them was several times weaker than the Sui army navy at Gaoyou Lake.
Only half of them have good strength, and the other half have poor morale and strength.
You know without asking that the other half of the force must be temporary recruits...
These new recruits couldn't help but failed to play any role. Instead, they became loopholes in the defense line. They were caught by Yang Kan and defeated in one fell swoop.
"He Chou, a scribe, could have defeated him if he had been replaced by other generals... This is just a trivial matter. If we can capture Yangzhou, it will be a major event worthy of congratulations!"
Yang Kan was modest, but there was still a smile on his face.
Regardless of whether the opponent is strong or weak, the record of defeating 100,000 enemy troops in one hour can greatly increase his reputation if word spreads about it.
As the power of the Huai Army continued to grow, its military strength also continued to expand.
In the history of the origin world, the value of defeating an army of 100,000 people, which was enough to send a general to the Martial Temple, is constantly weakening.
When will the Huai army have millions of people?
Defeating 100,000 enemy troops was considered a small victory in the eyes of many people and could no longer be shocking.
"Yangzhou City... I heard that this city was also built under the supervision of He Chou. It took a year and hundreds of thousands of manpower to build it. It is extremely strong and difficult to capture. Brother Yang should be more careful when he leads his army south!"
Fu Youde reminded.
Yang Kan cupped his hands and said sternly: "Thank you very much. I will be careful. Your Majesty's military orders are with me. It is not convenient for me to stay here any longer. I also ask General Fu to temporarily take care of the prisoners until the King sends someone to hand over them!"
Fu Youde said: "Don't worry, I'll leave this place to you!"
Yang Kan no longer had any worries and immediately mounted his horse.
At this time, war horses and capable cavalry all got off the ship and were ready to march.
Early the next morning.
Yang Kan led 30,000 cavalry across the dense villages and towns, bypassed the small cities on the road, and directly approached Yangzhou City.
"Report..."
After entering the vicinity of Yangzhou City, Tan Ma, who was sent out by Yang Kan, kept coming back to report the news.
"General, the gates of Yangzhou City have been closed and entry and exit are strictly prohibited. The woods outside the city have also been cut down. There are many garrison troops on top of the city and they are heavily guarded. Our army's spies cannot enter the city and cannot contact people from the Military Intelligence Department..."
Baihu, the personal guard in charge of the spies, quickly came to report.
Yang Kan looked calm. The situation in Shao Bohu could not be hidden from Yangzhou at all. The Sui army had already known his movements.
It is normal to cut down the woods outside the city in advance to avoid the Huai army making ladder equipment, and to clean up the people outside the city and strictly defend themselves.
Yang Kan said in a deep voice: "Send the order, speed up, and approach the outside of Yangzhou City!"
Although he didn't know how many soldiers and horses there were in Yangzhou City.
However, the Sui army left behind an army of 200,000 to 300,000 troops in Gaoyou and Jieshou. Not long ago, Yang Guang took away another 300,000 troops... and the troops lost by the Sui army before...
These troops alone are close to one million people.
No matter how you calculate it, the city of Yangzhou is in an extremely empty state.
The defenders that the spies saw before were probably just civilians temporarily recruited by the officials in the city, and there was nothing to fear.
The cavalry roared.
After Yang Kan gave the order, the Huai army's fine cavalry, which was specially transported to the south bank by boat, seemed like a red torrent, thundering toward Yangzhou City.
Shortly after.
The roar of iron hoofs came outside Yangzhou City.
Throughout Yangzhou City, the city gates were closed, and there was a solemn atmosphere on top of the city. Su Wei was wearing official robes and looking into the distance with several generals.
In their eyes, the Huai army's cavalry seemed boundless.
Every Huai Army cavalryman is extremely capable. Thirty thousand cavalrymen gathered together, filled with murderous intent and soaring into the sky.
"This...is this the elite cavalry of the Huai Army?"
Seeing the mighty elite cavalry outside the city, the faces of the generals on the top of the city turned pale.
Su Wei was also silent, not knowing what to say to boost his morale...
