The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

The city of Tanxi in western Liaoning is a city located in the center of western Liaoning. It is also the city with the largest number of military forces, with about 30,000 of them.

Almost half of the nearly 70,000 remaining troops of Liaoxia were stationed here, and the remaining 40,000 were deployed in more than a dozen other cities in western Liaoning.

There are only about three thousand soldiers assigned to garrison in each city. For slightly more important cities, there will be more garrisoned troops.

The one stationed in Xicheng City is Jiang Zheng's other trusted subordinate Jiang Li Zhong, who is also a talented death warrior left to him by Jiang Zheng's grandfather.

Compared to Jiang Lige, Jiang Li Zhong is good at defense. No matter what kind of city it is, as long as he has soldiers, he can defend it easily.

Therefore, he was sent to the city of Tanxi. With 30,000 troops and advanced firearms at hand, he was confident that he could defend the city of Tanxi even if an army of 300,000 came to attack.

At this time, Jiang Li Zhong was standing on the city wall, looking forward. The army that was going to conquer the last few cities in western Liaoning had been on the march for nearly half a month, but no news had been sent back from the front.

He couldn't help but feel uneasy. Logically speaking, after Liaoxi fell completely into their hands, the expeditionary army would send back orders to take over the city.

But half a month had passed, and the last few cities in western Liaoning should have been captured long ago, but there was no news from the front, not even the results of the battle. He always felt that something bad might have happened.

Just as he was worried, suddenly, countless armies appeared on the ground in front of him. The dense army brought him a strong sense of oppression.

This feeling made him feel even more uneasy. He looked far away and his pupils shrank slightly when he saw the words "Daxi" written on the enemy's flag.

If he guessed correctly, Jiang Lige was probably defeated. Not only was he defeated, but his entire army was also wiped out. Otherwise, Jiang Lige would not have failed to send back the news.

After he was frightened, he quickly calmed down, although the opposing army seemed to have at least 100,000 soldiers, maybe even more.

But with 30,000 men and advanced gunpowder weapons, he could hold out for several years without any problem, and he might even drag the enemy to death.

He quickly issued the order to prepare for war, and the entire Liaoxia army in the city of Xixi immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

Jiang Lizhong stared at the army in front of him until the army came close. Looking at the tens of thousands of enemy cavalry in front of him, a hint of sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.

The enemy didn't even have siege equipment, yet they sent cavalry to lead the charge. With such a lineup, they still wanted to capture his Xicheng City?

Let alone capturing the city, the Dashi Army in front of them might not even be able to get close to the city wall! The general of the Liaoxia Army standing beside him had the same idea as him.

Ever since they came up with gunpowder weapons, they have become extremely confident and no longer take anyone seriously.

How can we fight this enemy army which is mainly composed of cavalry? !

But just as they were looking down on them, the cavalry in front of them stopped a few miles in front of the city gate, and then, behind them, countless cannons were carried out.

Seeing those small artillery pieces, the Liaoxia army and Jiang Lizhong on the city wall were slightly surprised.

He felt that the iron pipe that the other party took out was somewhat similar to their artillery. Their artillery was mainly made of elm, of course, there were also some made of iron.

But compared to elm wood, iron cannons are difficult to cast and extremely difficult to manufacture. Therefore, relatively few iron cannons were manufactured.

Moreover, the iron cannons they made did not seem to be as sophisticated as the cannons in front of them. The cannons in their hands, whether made of elm or iron, looked extremely clumsy.

But the delicate and exquisite cannon-shaped object in front of them made them feel surprised, and of course, more of contempt.

Can this elf thing withstand the power of gunpowder? Don't let it be scrapped after one shot!

However, just as they had this thought, the cannons outside the city wall fired. With a series of bangs, the shells in the cannons flew towards the city gate in the blink of an eye.

The city gate was hit by a cannonball and collapsed in the blink of an eye. Not only that, many of the city gates were blown down. Fortunately, it was not easy for the cavalry outside the city to break into the city.

Under the astonished gaze of Jiang Li Zhong on the city wall, the cavalry below had already put their horses' hooves on and rushed towards the city. They did not even give the people on the city wall time to react.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Li Zhong was shocked. He now finally understood why the Xixi City, which was in the middle, had not received any news from those who occupied the city in front.

With such a siege speed, those cities would have no time to report the news! I'm afraid they would be destroyed or captured before they are ready.

After coming to his senses, he opened his mouth and wanted to order his men to counterattack with bamboo thunder. However, as soon as he gave the order, countless shells fell on the city wall.

In the blink of an eye, the Liaoxia troops on the city gate tower were blown to pieces. Not only could they not use bamboo mines to fight back, it was even difficult for them to survive.

At this time, the cavalry had already rushed to the city gate, and under the horrified gaze of the survivors on both sides of the city wall, the cavalry rushed into the city.

The battle also started at this time. After the cavalry came the infantry, and in the blink of an eye, the city, which originally had 30,000 defenders, was directly breached by the Dashi Army.

The Dashi Army and the Liaoxia Army fought each other, and the battle was almost one-sided. The city gate was broken, and more than 100,000 troops rushed into the city.

Even if there were 30,000 defenders in the city, they were just serving as food to others. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Jiang Lizhong turned around and fled!

It wasn't that he didn't want to stay and take charge of the situation, but there was no longer any situation to take charge of. Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui followed the infantry into the city.

The battle is still going on, and the remaining stubborn elements in various places are being cleared out by the army.

The two brothers captured several cities ahead at an astonishing speed. Every city was powerless to resist in front of his army.

The Chu brothers were very simple-minded. They swept across the entire Western Region with violence, and they won by crushing everyone wherever they went.

Even the city of Yanxi, which was considered a fortress by outsiders, did not hold out for long under the attack commanded by their brothers.

With their strength alone, the two brothers defeated ten opponents with great brutality. In the blink of an eye, they opened the city gate and swept the entire city with the power of thunder.

After the war, the enemy suffered nearly 20,000 casualties, with more than 7,000 surrendering, and only about 3,000 people escaped with Jiang Li Zhong.

In the following time, the two brothers divided their troops into two groups and recaptured the entire Liaoxi area with a crushing force.

The two brothers wiped out nearly 40,000 Liaoxia troops in western Liaoning, and the remaining 30,000 fled back to the Liaoxia Kingdom.

The Chu brothers took advantage of the victory and led an army of 220,000 to attack Liao and Xia.

When the Chu brothers were fighting against Liao and Xia, the four countries of the northern barbarian land of the Dashi Dynasty were unified by a newly rising country, Silla.

After they unified the peninsula, they marched straight to the northern barbarian land of Dashi.
