Iron Dynasty

Chapter 593: Siege of Chuzhou

"Chen Wei, these are all your guilt. If you hadn't escaped from the battle, how could you have been defeated so badly outside the city? Now that the 8,000 cavalrymen have lost their opponents, you cannot escape the death penalty!"

Chen Wei’s angry accusation made Xiao Han suddenly come back to his senses. He pointed at Chen Wei who was embarrassed and yelled. The first battle failed. Not only did the Chuzhou army lined up outside the city lose more than half, but now the cavalry he brought More than 8,000 people were also lost.

Thinking of keeping the life of the king of Chuzhou before leaving, Xiao Han felt cold. If Chuzhou fell, there must be a dead ghost to bear all the faults for him. This Chuzhou Governor Chen Wei is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

When Chen Wei heard this, he was angrily attacked. He roared: "Obviously, you are greedy for meritorious service. How can you plant it on my head? This defeat will definitely be reported to His Highness Ming Wei."

"Bold, you dare to slander me, don't forget, you are just a slave of the Wei Palace." Xiao Han's eyes were with a trace of disdain, and then he said to the guards beside him, "Chuzhou Governor Chen Wei Lian Zhan escaped, he is very sinful. , Take him to me and put him in prison."

As soon as Xiao Han's words came out, the captain on the city wall hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, it is absolutely necessary. Now the only person who can turn the tide is Chen Du. If this Chuzhou City is not commanded by Chen Du, the Chuzhou Army will be in a state of chaos. ."

"The Chuzhou Army has been killed by the Southern Expeditionary Army, and there are still a few people left. Today, the Chuzhou City relies on the men and horses brought by Xiao Wang. One hundred thousand soldiers plus the remaining twenty thousand cavalry cannot Defeating the Southern Expedition Army, wouldn't it be possible to defend the city of Chuzhou?" Xiao Lian said coldly.

When he entered the city, he was still a little jealous of Chen Wei, but after the Chuzhou army outside the city was mostly damaged, he no longer feared Chen Wei. After all, what about generals without soldiers?

With a wave of his hand, he still asked his guards to pull Chen Wei down.

The quarrel on the wall did not escape Lu Fei's observation.

He said to Luo Hong; "Chen Wei seems to be arrested."

"It's great, Xiao Han broke his arm." Luo Hong said. He had met Xiao Han before in Chang'an, so he recognized Xiao Han at first sight when he appeared in the city.

Picking up the binoculars to confirm, Xiao Han continued; "General, this Chen Wei is an individual talent. He was born in the Chen family of Chuzhou, but he does not have the arrogance of a son of a wealthy family. In the army, he and the soldiers live and eat together. , Very considerate to the soldiers, for this reason, the combat power of the Chuzhou Army is better than that of other Weidi troops."

Lu Fei nodded. When the two armies confronted each other, Chen Wei's strategy was correct. If this time it was not a fraudulent defeat, but a direct confrontation, although they could win the battle, the loss would be substantial.

Because these Chuzhou army is a kind of desperate style of play, it shows the morale of the Chuzhou army.

"Looking at this, Xiao Han seems to want to use Chen Wei as a scapegoat. This cavalry has always been King Wei's treasure. Now that he has lost so much, King Wei will inevitably blame it, but no matter how we say it, this is a good thing for us. "Lu Fei said slowly.

Luo Xin asked at this time; "Is it going to shell Chuzhou City next?"

"No, now King Wei has packed 130,000 horses into a small Chuzhou city. The food and grass in this city will definitely be unsustainable and can only be transferred from other cities. If this is the case, we will continue to besiege and not attack, we just need to cut off their The supply line is enough," Lu Fei said.

Baimu returned with a catty at this time, and he said: "Leave it to the general to attack the supply line."

From Huaizhou to Jinling City, Ma Pingchuan, it was the time when the cavalry was given advantage. He said, "Well, this matter is only suitable for you."

Set up a plan to besiege Chuzhou City, Lu Fei asked Luo Hong to lead a musket team to cut the south official road of Chuzhou City. As a result, Chuzhou City was completely besieged by the Southern Army.

Facing the imperial deployment of the Nanzheng Military Hall, no army in Chuzhou City dared to come out to fight. Xiao Han could only watch Chuzhou City be trapped on all sides.

Upon seeing this, he immediately sent a messenger flying pigeon to pass the news to Jinling City, hoping to attack the Southern Expeditionary Army from inside and outside.

At the same time, Ye Qingyun, with the help of sixteen warships and fifty large merchant ships, loaded the soldiers on the ship overnight. The next day, the fleet went directly to Jinling City along the Yangtze River.

I have to say that this landing in Jinling City is an adventurous military operation. If this battle is successful, you can take down Jinling City in one fell swoop and even capture the King of Wei. In this way, the city of Wei Di is like a dragon without a leader. Break down.

Only according to the information provided by Li San, King Wei placed most of the artillery he bought from Qingzhou in Jinling City. There was even a gun team in the city. Compared with other cities, Jinling City was a tough one.

"set off!"

According to the scheduled time, the battleship carried the Dengzhou Army and the recruits to Jinling City. On the flagship deck, Ye Qingyun walked up to Yue Yun and stood side by side, his eyes a little sharp.

Yue Yun saw this and smiled and said, "After the two battles, Dudu Ye has become much older."

"General Yue laughed. I only saw Wang Wei's atrocities in Yangzhou, and I was very sad."

Yue Yun was silent for a while, and he said: "I've heard about this too. The country of Great Yu is falling apart, and the people who suffer the most are the people. Because of this, I will wait for Dingli to support His Highness to restore the orthodox of Great Yu."

Ye Qingyun looked firm. He said: "General Yue's words are not bad, the northern barbarians have not eliminated the great troubles, and the problems in Dayu should be resolved as soon as possible."

"It's not just a barbarian, Dayu's real enemy is at sea." Yue Yun frowned.

"Oh? I don't know what General Yue has any ideas?"

After receiving Xiao Ming’s order, Yue Yun came to Tongzhou~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At the same time, he left a thousand soldiers stationed in the Sanshan Kingdom to ensure the safety of the Sanshan Kingdom. He said: “In addition to the barbarians, there are also The Japanese country, today’s Japanese country is also equipped with matchlocks, and once trained by the Dutch, fighting with it is bound to be different from the vassals of the Great Yu country."

"Secondly, Western countries other than the Japanese country are extending their tentacles to the great Yu country. The Dutch have reminded His Royal Highness that there must be a battle at that time."

Ye Qingyun shook his head when he heard the words, "Da Yu country is really troubled, and it's still in an eventful autumn. If this is the case, then we should settle down earlier."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingyun realized why Xiao Ming wanted to take Jinling City directly, so as to end the war in Wei Di as soon as possible.

The current Dayu Kingdom only has Wei Di, Yong Di, and Qi Di’s blood line is still royal, and all other cities are occupied by vassals of different surnames. Only by taking the wealthy Wei Di and controlling the source of ore can they have the capital to fight the world alone. .

Thinking of this, Ye Qingyun's eyes flashed with determination.
