The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 775

On August [-], Shu County, Rongcheng.

The vanguard of the Yong Army has arrived at the city of Rong at this moment, and began to surround the city of Rong one after another.

It took about half a day, and all the four gates of Rongcheng were guarded by the Yong army, and the combined strength of all their troops did not exceed 1.

The Yong army that rushed to the southwest this time has 2 soldiers and horses and [-] guards, and only one-fifth of the troops are currently in place.

Among them, [-] guard troops have successively stationed in the prefectures and counties along the way to Shu, which will also make the Yong army's supply line more stable.

They entered Shu along the way without encountering too strong obstacles, and the cities along the way were basically waiting for the wind to fall.

Li Jinzhong took away the defenders of the cities, making it impossible for these cities to defend the cities, and there was no other way but to surrender.

The three guards had a place to go, and the remaining 9000 elites, including more than [-] cavalry, went to clean up the zombies.

Li Jinzhong took away the defenders from all over the country, which caused a sharp decline in the defense capabilities of the various places, and put Shu County in an extremely dangerous state.

If one is not careful, the zombies may spread in the two southwestern counties, causing the two counties to be deserted.

As the main general of this attack, Chen Yuhe knew very well that defeating Li Jinzhong was only one aspect of this expedition, and he also had to maintain the safety of the people in the southwest.

Even the latter is more important than defeating Li Jinzhong, so Chen Yuhe sent cavalry to various places to eliminate the zombies that might cause trouble.

As a result, the Yong army that has rushed to Rongcheng now has only [-] infantry soldiers, plus [-] cavalry led by Chen Yuhe himself.

"Is this the Yong army that all came here?"

On the tower, Li Jinzhong was extremely surprised.

He was already prepared to deal with the 1 Yong army besieging the city, but he didn't know there were only [-] people until now.

There were no more than 2000 people in each city gate. Li Jinzhong was extremely angry with the way the troops were divided, which showed that the Yong army outside the city didn't take him seriously at all.

"It's his grandma's, this is too underestimating!" A general beside him couldn't help feeling angry.

"My lord, I will take someone to meet them!"

Li Jinzhong's expression darkened, and he said immediately: "Don't be reckless, Yong Jun is probably setting us up!"

Even if the Yong army outside the city did not fall into the trap, Li Jinzhong would not agree to go out to fight. After all, they have a greater advantage in defending the city.

Going out of the city rashly, once the battle fails, will affect the morale of the army, Li Jinzhong dare not gamble.

"People in the city listen, as long as you surrender now, the prince will still let you live, and if you resist in the corner, you will only die!"

Hearing these words, all the generals on the city wall laughed.

"It seems that these people may not have woken up!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, and the tower was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

This was a routine persuasion to capitulate, and Chen Yuhe was willing to give these people a chance out of kindness.

Hearing the ear-piercing laughter on the city wall in the distance, Chen Yuhe couldn't help cursing: "These gangsters don't know how to live or die!"

Next to Chen Yuhe was Ding Hong, the Commander of the Third Guard. He said, "My lord said, if they don't surrender, they don't have to be imprisoned for interrogation after breaking through the city, but they can be beheaded for public display!"

These people provoked the war and killed too many people. In Zhao Yanxun's view, it was hopeless, and it would not be a pity to kill any of them.

"Do you have any ideas on how to break the city?" Chen Yuhe asked.

Although he is the chief general, he still has to discuss with the other two commanders, after all, they need to fight together.

"How else can we break the city? First, fill up the moat, and at the same time build siege equipment, just attack directly!"

His subordinates are all first-class soldiers, which made Ding Hong extremely cautious, so he didn't use his brain at all in this method.

"I see that the narrowest part of this moat is five or six feet long, and it will take several days to fill it up!" Zheng Fan, the commander of the sixth guard, said this.

Ding Hong immediately asked: "If the river is not filled, the siege equipment built cannot be transported, how can we attack the city?"

"Does it have to be that big cart? Can't we just use a ladder?"

"Ladder? Use a ladder to attack directly, but I don't know how many people will die. Although our brothers are brave, they are all flesh and blood!" Ding Hong said with a cold face.

What he said was completely considered from the standpoint of a soldier.

Although the subordinate soldiers have been upgraded and their individual combat effectiveness has been strengthened, they still have the fear of life and death if they are shot or hit by stones.

From the rise of troops in Longyou to the present, tens of thousands of troops have been killed or injured by the troops that went out to fight.

When the two were arguing endlessly, Chen Yuhe finally said, "Forget it... Let's fill the river first!"

"You are afraid of delaying time, but I don't think there is any need to worry. We can call the nearby people to help!"

"They are short of food, as long as they are given food, don't they want to work?"

More importantly, the tools of the people are readily available, and there are enough people.

In the case of hungry, even if they are worried about the danger of coming to fill the river and cut trees, they have no other choice.

Seeing that the two people beside him had no objection, Chen Yuhe immediately said: "Immediately send an order to recruit people in nearby prefectures and counties. It is best to find more carpenters. Just say they come to work and give out food!"

When the military order was conveyed, Ding Hong suddenly asked: "Commander Chen, you can give us some points for the grenade sent by the prince before leaving!"

Zheng Fan also knew about this, so he also looked at Chen Yuhe at this moment.

Good things like grenades are definitely useful in sieges, so the two want to share some.

It's a pity that the output of this thing is not high, especially after leaving Longyou, we have to search for raw materials again, so that it cannot be mass-produced temporarily.

But even so, at this moment, Chen Yuhe still had nearly two hundred mines in his hands.

Chen Yuhe looked towards the city ahead, and said, "Don't worry, you two, you will have everything!"

…………

"It really is a strong soldier!"

In a forest ten miles south of Rongcheng, Yang Hongwen admired the cavalry of the Yong army passing through the official road ahead.

The army he led stopped after reaching the south bank of the great river, but he himself led a dozen or so cavalry and sneaked across the river to Rongcheng Mansion.

This guy is very courageous, the reason why he came here alone is to witness the style of Yong Jun with his own eyes.

Now that he can see it with his own eyes, Yang Hongwen has to admit that these Yong soldiers are indeed elite.

After admiring, Yang Hongwen looked at the cavalry of the Yong army who were gradually going away, and asked the left and right: "There are only five cavalry on the opposite side, and we have more than 20 cavalry. If we attack secretly... can we take it?"

The five riders who appeared in front of his eyes were those who were sent out by Chen Yuhe to gather the people and go to Rongcheng to help attack the city.

Although this five-member team was small in strength, it was well-equipped, which made Yang Hongwen dare not be careless.

"My lord, go to 20 people, it's easy to take them down!"

Although the 20 of them were poorly equipped, they had a great advantage in strength. In the eyes of Baihu who answered, it was not difficult to kill the five people on the opposite side.

Yang Hongwen nodded and said, "Okay, try to catch as many alive as possible!"

"Just look at it!"

After saying that, the hundred households ordered No. 20 of their subordinates, and slapped their horses to touch the departing Yong Jun.

In the same place, only Yang Hongwen and a few guards were left, and they would wait for news here.

Time passed, and within five minutes, Yang Hongwen heard a series of crisp horseshoe sounds, which filled them with anticipation.

"Go, go and have a look!" Yang Hongwen said, waving his whip.

Several people rode forward, and just walked out of the woods, they saw that Qianhu appeared in front of them, and was approaching them quickly on horseback.

"Is this a win?"

While Yang Hongwen was wondering, he heard someone yelling: "My lord, run away... The Yong army is coming!"

"How many are they?"

"Five... 500 people!"

This Qianhu wanted to say five people, but it sounded like he was too useless, so he changed his words in time.

In a hurry, Yang Hongwen didn't have time to ask more questions, so he could only turn around and leave.
