my wife is mulan

The defenders were still alarmed. There was a panic on the city wall, yelling and cursing, and the defenders ran around like headless chickens. Several people even hanged from the city wall and fell to their deaths under the city because of panic. .

The dry army killed the city wall very easily. There were many defenders on the city wall, but they seemed to have no resistance. As more and more dry soldiers climbed up the city wall, the defenders were killed and retreated steadily. , and soon lost the gate tower and retreated into the city.

Half an hour later, a large number of defenders will surrender or be captured. The ease and ease of this battle has surprised the generals. When did the Southern Dynasty Liu Song Army's ability to defend the city become so poor?

"General, what's going on here? The general hasn't figured it out until now. The Southern Dynasty army's defensive strength can't be so bad, right?" The deputy general looked at the groups of Liu Songjun who were escorted away. The prisoner asked Gao Xu.

Gao Xu said: "It's very simple, because the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty generally suffered from night blindness! At night, when the light is too dark, they can hardly see things clearly. We shot all the lanterns on the city wall, and naturally their eyes were smeared." !"

The lieutenant slapped his head after hearing this: "So that's it. I said, why do they hang so many lanterns on the city walls! But...why do the generals of the Southern Dynasties generally have night blindness, but our army doesn't?"

Gao Xu spread his hands together: "I don't know either!"

At Chenshi the next morning, Zhao

Junsheng arrived at Zhu'a City with his army.

"The last general pays homage to the king!" Gao Xu led his soldiers to greet him at the gate of the city.

Zhao Junsheng reined in his horse and looked up at the city tower, then turned his head to look at the city wall, and asked, "Why is the city wall so clean and there are no traces of large-scale battles? How did you break through Zhu'a City? Did they Volunteer to surrender?"

Gao Xu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the last general arrived outside the city with his soldiers at dusk yesterday, and found that the city walls were brightly lit, but there were not many defenders on the city walls, and everyone on the patrol was holding torches. Suspecting that the soldiers of the Southern Dynasties generally suffered from night blindness, they ordered to attack the city overnight. Unexpectedly, all the defenders really suffered from night blindness. Climbing up the city wall, the defenders were defeated by our army before they could organize resistance."

"Hahaha...that's how it is! Let's go to the city to rest for two hours, let the soldiers have a bite of hot soup and hot rice, and then go to Licheng after eating and drinking!"

The army slowly entered Zhu'a City. Gao Xu rode beside Zhao Junsheng and asked, "Your Majesty, the general is very puzzled. Why do soldiers from the Southern Dynasties generally have night blindness, but our soldiers don't?"

Zhao Junsheng said angrily: "Do you think that the soldiers eat meat, lamb offal, beef offal, pig offal, and fish for free? It must be beneficial!"

"Could it be that the generals of the Southern Dynasties suffered from night blindness because they ate too little meat?" Gao Xu asked in surprise.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Night blindness is generally caused by the lack of certain substances in food, and such substances are found in animal meat, liver and some vegetables. Our soldiers eat meat almost every day, and fish from time to time. Eat. Vegetables are also eaten openly when there is no war. Naturally, you will not suffer from night blindness. The food in the army in the Southern Dynasties is much worse. How can you eat meat every day? There are not many vegetables in autumn and winter. These Southern Dynasties Soldiers are going abroad again, so they are even more deficient in nutrition, and it is not surprising that they suffer from night blindness!"

Chapter 624

Gao Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, if the generals of the Southern Dynasties who went north this time were generally suffering from night blindness, wouldn't it be very easy for our army to carry out night raids, and it would be easy to capture the city!"

After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng said: "It's a good idea. In this way, you send someone to interrogate the prisoners to see if the generals of the Southern Dynasties generally have this kind of night blindness!"

"As ordered!"

Zhao Junsheng also ordered Guo Yi to ask the spies in the Black Yiwei to investigate the night blindness of the Southern Dynasty troops in various places, and report the information they found quickly.

The army only rested for two hours in Zhu'acheng. After eating and drinking enough, they continued to head south.

That night, when the Gan army was camping on the way to Licheng, Guo Yi received a report from the black guard, and he reported to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, more than [-] troops of Du Chao in Jeju are stationed in Lu County to guard against us. military!"

"Lu County?" Zhao Junsheng was taken aback, picked up the map and looked at it, and found that Lu County was very close to this place, and asked, "What is the composition of his more than [-] troops?"

"Four thousand cavalry and six thousand infantry!"

Zhao Junsheng put down the map and rubbed his chin and said, "How many soldiers and horses does he have in a small Jeju, and he actually pulls out more than 1 people to defend our army at once? This king wants to know where Du Chao's confidence comes from. He Instead of hiding in the city, instead of pulling people out, you think these [-] horses can stop my tens of thousands of cavalry?"

Guo Yi reminded: "Your Majesty, although Jeju has four counties and twelve counties, each county has a small territory and a small population. His total strength is less than 2. More than [-] people were pulled out from all counties and counties, so he would definitely not have too many troops left in Fufen City. Now Du Chao and his son have long stopped treating the king as their own. I have been guarding against their father and son, it is better to attack them first!"

Zhao Junsheng looked up at Guo Yi and asked, "Do you know what you do?"

Guo Yi's heart trembled, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "I am too talkative, I am willing to be punished!"

Zhao Junsheng stared at Guo Yi for a long time, and slowly said: "I will mark you as a major demerit once, and you will be fined for half a year! Your duty is to investigate intelligence and collect information, not to participate in politics. If there is any act of arrogance, this king will not take it lightly." Around!"

"Yes Yes!"

After Guo Yi left the handsome tent, Zhao Junsheng frowned.

Seeing his expression, Hua Mulan persuaded, "Guo Yi just wants to show it too much in front of you. This is human nature. Anyway, he is also one of the first people to follow you!"

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "I have invested countless money, manpower and material resources in intelligence over the years. If the black guards hadn't been guided by me personally and worked hard to build the framework, how could this situation be like this? But Guo Yi just didn't have any information. Progressive, he didn't do a good job on his side, but he still put his mind on other things! It seems that the black guard can no longer let him be the leader. Since his mind is on government affairs, let him be an official , Lao Lu!"

Lu Xuanbo stood up holding his sword and bowed, "Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng took out a token from his pocket and handed it to him: "This is the king's token, which has the highest authority over the Black Guard. From now on, you will be in charge of the Black Guard. The Black Guard is an espionage organization. Its importance is very important to this king. Many people here are promoted and appointed by Guo Yi. You can't take over all of them overnight. This king will give you three months to completely control the black guards, but Can't be noticed by Guo Yi! Three months later, I will officially transfer Guo Yi and appoint you as the leader of the black guards. At that time, I will take back this token!"

Lu Xuanbo received the token and clasped his fists in agreement: "Obey!"

Zhao Junsheng shouted: "Come here, call Dongfang Chen, Cui Hao and others!"

After a while, Dongfang Chen, Cui Hao and others walked in.

Zhao Junsheng said to several people: "Just received the news that Du Chao's Jeju Army has more than [-] troops stationed at the junction of Lu County and Qizhou. It seems that they are guarding against our army. It is only a day away from here. If our army wants to If we continue to go south, we have to separate our troops to keep an eye on the [-] Jeju army, or we will be in trouble if he sneaks up on our army, what do you guys think about this?"

Cui Hao frowned and said, "Du Chao's actions seem to be a little too much. If he doesn't want to be an enemy of our army, isn't he afraid of causing the king's misunderstanding? Did Du Chao and his son have already colluded with the Southern Dynasty? If they have secretly colluded together, this matter will be quite strange, if this is a conspiracy by Nanchao and Du Chao and his son, their purpose is probably to disperse our army!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, then looked at Dongfang Chen: "Dongfang, what do you think?"

Dongfang Chen thought for a while, then cupped his hands to Zhao Junsheng and said, "My lord, it is impossible for us to turn a blind eye to Du Chao's more than 1 troops. If our army continues to march south, the [-] Jeju troops will become a serious threat to our rear at any time." Regardless of whether Du Chao and his son have colluded with the Southern Dynasties, and whether this is Du Chao's unilateral decision, according to normal thinking, our army must divide its troops to keep an eye on these [-] people. Does Your Majesty feel very passive now?"

Zhao Junsheng nodded.

Dongfang Chen continued: "March combat must not be passive all the time. If we want to reverse the situation, we must turn passive into active. We cannot be led by the nose by the opponent. Du Chao wants to contain part of our army. Does our army have to follow him? Do you want to do it? The minister thinks that we and Du Chao and his son seem to be in the same camp, and we are still under the big banner of Wei. In fact, we are already in the same situation. We have no excuses to send troops, but we can make excuses, which is not difficult! Maybe Nanchao, Du Chao and his son, and even Sima Chuzhi think that we sent so many troops this time to rescue Qizhou, but we Why should they do what they think? Sima Chuzhi's Licheng will not be breached for a while, our army can catch him by surprise, turn around and take Xiangzhou and Jeju first, and then deal with the Southern Dynasty general Tan Daoji with all our strength! "

Zhao Junsheng looked at the map, it was not far from Licheng, only one day's journey away, and it was not far from Lu County where the Jeju Army was stationed, also only one day's journey away.

"Come here, send scouts to Licheng to investigate, to see if Tan Daoji's army is attacking the city, go back quickly!"

"As ordered!"

After dawn, Zhao Junsheng did not order to leave camp and go to Licheng, he was waiting for news.

At that time, the scout sentry came back, "Report to Your Majesty, Licheng has been surrounded by Tan Daoji's army and is attacking!"

Zhao Junsheng narrowed his eyes, thought about the balance, and quickly issued an order: "Send an order to Cao Jiao, ordering him to leave 3000 people guarding the ferry, and lead the remaining 7000 people to go straight to the city of Fufu! Order the whole army to do a good job." Get ready to move out, the whole army will move out in an hour!"

The messenger was sent to the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River. Despite the bad weather, Zhao Junsheng ordered people to build a post station on the way here. Every 30 miles or so, he could meet the post station to change horses and get food. The order was conveyed to Cao Jiao, but Zhao Junsheng's order to Cao Jiao was obviously more than that simple.

Bai Jinguang received the notice, and he came in front of Zhao Junsheng.

"I give you a task. Take three thousand whirlwind troops to Lu County in the west, and let me keep an eye on the ten thousand Jeju troops stationed there. If the Jeju troops don't move, your army will keep harassing them; In the city of Qi, your troops followed and blocked the Jeju army in the city, especially the thousands of cavalry in the hands of Du Chao. I will stare at them to death! If there are other orders, the king will send someone to notify you!"

"Obey!" Bai Jinguang clasped his fists and promised to set up the three thousand whirlwind army and leave.

Among the six armies of Zhongbing established by Zhao Junsheng, the Huanfeng Army is the light cavalry army, which is the army with the largest number of troops. This army has [-] light cavalry soldiers.Zhao Junsheng is not short of horses, nor is he short of money for the time being. Since he has the conditions, it is natural to be more likely to form enough cavalry. Of course, this does not hinder the construction of infantry.

Before the main force moved towards Licheng, Zhao Junsheng finally issued an order, ordering the governor Ding, the military forces of the two prefectures, and Zhang Xing, the general of Dingzhou town, to send troops to attack Xiangzhou.

Just as Dongfang Chen said, since the situation is already in the same situation, it is better to tear the face completely and strike first.

Zhao Junsheng didn't expect Zhang Xing to solve Du Gui in Xiangzhou in a short time, he only hoped
