I am a ruler in troubled times

Song Peiyu stared at the time on the letter paper and roughly calculated it.

Chen Guo should have known that Qingzhou British Duke and Yanzhou Duanxu County King had come to Xi County, and began to mobilize troops.

After receiving the news that the envoys of Yanzhou had left, but the envoys of Qingzhou chose to stay, they set the target of sending troops to Qingzhou.

"Is there any news from Yanzhou?" Song Peiyu put away the letter, turned to go to the study, "call the person who came back from Le County."

When he was having dinner just now, Song Peiyu knew that Chong Yi had successfully captured Le County, and the [-] Zhao troops he brought to attack the city were stationed in Le County.

He thought that the affairs of Yanzhou and Le County could not be rushed, so he didn't ask, and planned to wait until Chongyi woke up tomorrow.

When Song Peiyu returned to the courtyard where the study was located, Ping Zhang had already left, so he didn't look for another clean room.

The study room, which had just darkened, became brightly lit again.

Those who came back from Le County were quickly called to Song Peiyu's study.

Not long after Chong Yi entered the city, these people appeared outside the city gate.

They are all the same as Pingzhang, they set off with Chongyi, but they were left behind unknowingly.

Thanks to the relatively close distance between Le County in Yanzhou and Xi County in Yizhou, they didn't become paralyzed like Pingzhang and the five hundred cavalrymen.

Yanzhou is narrow and long, located between Yizhou and Qingzhou.

The area is not large, and it is comparable to the Wei State of the year.

It just happens to be able to perfectly separate Yizhou and Qingzhou. Before Qingzhou’s British public came to analyze the county, they had to pass through Yanzhou before reaching Yizhou. Otherwise, they would have to detour from Xuzhou and Yuzhou where Chen Guo is located.

Although Yanzhou is small in size, its terrain is very good, and it is almost the place with the most checkpoints in Kyushu.

At the junction with Yizhou and Qingzhou, the narrow mouth for people and animals to walk is extremely narrow.

As a result, the large and small levels are very dense and can be connected into pieces.

For example, on the side where Yanzhou borders Yizhou, there are Yanzhou Eight Passes, and on the other side where it borders Qingzhou, there are twelve dangers.

Except for the Eight Passes and Twelve Dangers built at the narrow mouth, which can still allow people to pass, the other large areas of land are full of continuous mountains, which are the best natural barriers.

The most commendable thing about Yanzhou Eight Passes and Twelve Dangers is that these cities can take care of each other very quickly.

It is almost impossible to succeed in attacking one hurdle or one danger alone, and there is also the risk of being encircled and suppressed at any time.

You can only attack multiple levels or risks at the same time, so that the eight levels and the twelve risks cannot take care of each other.

As we all know, the siege of a city often requires several times the number of garrisons in order to be successful. If you encounter a city that is particularly difficult to break into, the difficulty will be doubled.

Attacking multiple levels or dangers at the same time will consume a lot of troops and supplies.

It is equivalent to spending several times, or even dozens of times, the manpower and material resources of Yanzhou to attack Yanzhou before it is possible to win Yanzhou.

Therefore, among all the forces in Kyushu, only Yanzhou can be easily defended and difficult to attack, which is comparable to Weiguo, which has four natural dangers.

pity……

The eight passes of Yanzhou must be connected together in order to maximize the advantages of the terrain.

Now Le County, the middlemost of Yanzhou's eight passes, has planted Zhao Banner, and the other seven passes are no different from other cities, at most, the difficulty of siege is slightly increased.

This point is probably negligible for Chong Yi who tore Le County from Yanzhou Eight Passes.

Although Xiaowei Wang is not very reliable in his words, he is very sober in battle.

While he and Song Peiyu narrated the siege of the city during the day, they could also take into account the strangeness of Le County.

Because the State of Zhao never sent more troops to Xi County, Yanzhou never thought that the State of Zhao would send troops suddenly.

Especially in Le County, when soldiers were approaching the city, the leader of the Yanzhou army on the city wall, seeing with his own eyes the Zhuque flag fluttering in the wind and the black-clothed beaded crown in the front of the Zhao army, Chong Yi, who had a very beautiful face, refused to believe that the person under the city wall was Zhao. Prince.

He firmly believed that Prince Zhao was still at Jinshan Pass, and Zhao Jun was so suspicious, and even took the initiative to persuade Zhao Jun to retreat.

"Hey, the old boy has no good intentions. Thanks to His Highness, he didn't get fooled by this old boy!" The more Xiaowei Wang said, the more excited he became, he couldn't help rubbing his big hands like cattail leaf fans, "Guess what?"

Song Peiyu didn't want to guess.

He didn't have to guess, someone told him.

After realizing that Song Peiyu's gaze moved to the person behind him, Xiaowei Wang's two little finger-wide eyebrows almost flew to his forehead.

He glared fiercely at the person who was being watched by Song Peiyu, immediately stood in front of that person, and explained the matter clearly in a few words.

Chong Yi naturally would not talk to the leader of the Yanzhou army on the city wall.

Not only that, Chong Yi also taught the leader of the Yanzhou Army on the city wall what a villain died from talking too much.

Shooting arrows from under the city wall to the city wall, taking advantage of the disadvantages of the terrain, the flying feather arrows still stably inserted into the neck of the leader of the Yanzhou Army on the city wall.

The Yanzhou army on the city wall panicked, arguing over whether to draw the arrow or not to draw the arrow.

The Zhao army under the city wall did not do anything, so their morale was greatly boosted, and they began to attack the city aggressively.

Le County is indeed worthy of its reputation of being easy to defend and difficult to attack. Zhao Jun spent two hours, but he couldn't get close to the gate of Le County.

Chong Yi led nearly a hundred people, galloped to the side of the city in the chaos, climbed up the city wall, and opened a gap for Zhao Jun under the city wall.

It took a total of nearly four hours for Zhao Jun to fully grasp the outer city wall of Le County.

Chong Yi has no intention of going to the inner city immediately.

He ordered the Zhao army to stay where they were, and detained the captured Yanzhou army separately.

With his excellent 'communication ability', Xiaowei Wang learned from the captured Yanzhou army that the king of Yanzhou was deploying troops and was preparing to send more troops to Yanzhou Eighth Pass.

Song Peiyu's expression was weird for a moment.

Is this really not what Wang Xiaowei general Yanzhou Army was so angry that Yanzhou Army lost his mind, and Yanzhou Army just said it out of nowhere?

After Xiaowei Wang finished explaining the process of attacking the city during the day and the anomalies he found, he retreated contentedly, and the details added by others could more or less prove that the king of Yanzhou was mobilizing troops.

Le County was originally the place where the largest number of troops were stationed in the Eight Passes of Yanzhou. Because they obeyed the dispatch of the King of Yanzhou and transferred most of their troops to the other seven passes, the number of troops in the garrison dropped sharply. The act of persuading Zhao Jun to withdraw his troops.

Song Peiyu's index finger tapped gently on the armrest of the chair, hardly making any sound.

Combining the words of these people, he suspected that after King Duanxu returned to Yanzhou, the king of Yanzhou decided to choose Chen State between Zhao State and Chen State.

Maybe the king of Yanzhou was more inclined to Chen Guo.

This is the only way to explain why Duke Duanxu justly put forward such outrageous conditions to Zhao Guo.

Eighty percent of them think that only if Zhao Guo agrees to most of those outrageous conditions, is it worthwhile for Yanzhou to abandon Chen and choose Zhao.

It is definitely not a coincidence that Chen Guo and Yanzhou are mobilizing troops at the same time.

The study door was suddenly opened from the outside, and everyone looked over subconsciously.

It was Chong Yi with loose hair. He didn't seem to expect that there were other people in the study. He was only wearing a loose nightgown. Even the rope on the nightgown was tied very perfunctorily. It's hard to ignore.

Fortunately, except for Song Peiyu, no one dared to stare at Chong Yi all the time.

Even if they saw the reddish tooth marks on Chong Yi's neck, they didn't dare to ask questions carelessly.

Chong Yi's footsteps barely paused, and under Song Peiyu's 'kind' gaze, he pulled up the collar of his nightgown.

Song Peiyu looked at the half-covered red mark on Chong Yi's neck, which made people even more curious, and suddenly felt a burning sensation in the base of his ear, turned his head and said nonchalantly, "Why don't you sleep more?"

Chong Yi casually grabbed the [-]-jin limp bag and placed it beside Song Peiyu. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by a voice from outside.

"Le county urgent report!"

The soldier with broken hair sticky on his face came in quickly from the outside, "There was a riot in the inner city of Le County. The county magistrate told the people that His Highness wanted to move all the people of Le County to Zhao State in order to stabilize Le County. The people believed it. They poured out from the inner city one after another, trying to drive Zhao Jun out of Le County."

Before the man finished speaking, other people arrived outside the door. After entering the door, he didn't even have time to salute, so he gasped, "The scouts came to report that the other seven gates of Yanzhou's eight gates received the news that Le County had planted the Zhao flag." After that, troops were dispatched immediately, and troops have already been dispatched from Tong and Ji counties, which are the closest to Le County."

Song Peiyu immediately forgot about her embarrassment.

All his attention was focused on the matter of Le County.

Le County is not only the most populous county among the Eight Passes of Yanzhou, but also ranks among the top five in Yanzhou as a whole.

The king of Yanzhou would order to transfer the garrison of Le County to other places, most likely because he was too confident in Le County, thinking that even if Zhao Jun attacked Yanzhou, it would be impossible to attack Le County at the beginning.

The people in the inner city alone are enough for Zhao Jun who is standing on the outer wall of Le County to have a headache.

Other counties in Yanzhou Baguan sent troops to help in a very short period of time.

The Zhao army in Le County may be surrounded at any time.

There are only [-] troops in Xixian County, and the [-] troops in Le County are not enough. It is useless to rush the remaining [-] troops in Xixian County.

Moreover, Zhao Guo also had to guard against the Yanzhou army's initiative to attack and send troops to Xixian County or other counties on the border of Yizhou.

Song Peiyu could think of the best way to deal with it, which is to withdraw troops first.

It was hard to win one of the eight gates of Yanzhou. Wouldn't Chong Yi's hard work be in vain if he gave up so easily?

Song Peiyu was not reconciled.

When everyone was deep in thought, Chong Yi picked up the secret report of Chen Guo that Song Peiyu had conveniently put on the table.

After reading the above content, a strange light flashed in Chong Yi's eyes, and he whispered something in Song Peiyu's ear.

Song Peiyu hesitated for a long time, then nodded slightly, but there was almost undetectable resistance in his brows.

Chong Yi whispered something in Song Peiyu's ear again, and the resistance between Song Peiyu's eyebrows dissipated.

Half an hour later, Song Peiyu stood on the wall of Xi County, watching Chong Yi lead ten thousand Zhao Jun to Le County.

Just as Ping Zhang felt sleepy, he was woken up by increasingly noisy voices.

He immediately turned over and went out to see what was going on.

Hearing that Le County, which Chong Yi had just captured, was in an emergency, Chong Yi wanted to rush there immediately, and Ping Zhang immediately went back to the room to change the armor that had been cleaned, and appeared in time to the team preparing to rescue Le County.

Even if Chong Yi pushes him back to rest, he refuses.

The [-] cavalry who rushed to Xi County with Pingzhang all made the same choice as Pingzhang. Even though their brows were still tired, their momentum was more fierce than the infantry behind them who were a hundred times their size.

Chong Yi ordered Lieutenant Wang to take [-] troops to Le County slowly, to preserve the combat capability of the infantry to the greatest extent, and not to worry about whether they could reach Le County before the Yanzhou Army that supported Le County.

He rushed to Le County with [-] cavalry at lightning speed.

When Chong Yi and the cavalry arrived in Le County, the Yanzhou Army from other counties in Yanzhou Baguan had not yet arrived, and the rioting people in the inner city were only shouting at Zhao Jun, at least not yet.

In the open space between the outer city wall and the common people, densely packed feather arrows were sticking out. Presumably, the Zhao army on the city wall could not bear the pressure and drew their bows to frighten them.

Fortunately, the outer city wall is still firmly in the hands of Zhao Jun.

After Chong Yi climbed the city wall, he ordered to shoot arrows again, forcing the people of Le County to retreat to the inner city.

Then he ordered Pingzhang to order the cavalry to take out the heavy and large oiled paper bags carried in the cloth bags on the side of the horse's back, connect them with special cotton threads and place them inside and outside the outer city wall of Le County.

Under Chongyi's order, Zhao Jun on the outer city wall quietly led the Yanzhou soldiers out of the city.

The Zhao Banner and the Suzaku Banner on the city wall were all left behind. The only people left on the outer city wall first found something to support the commoner clothes left by everyone, leaned against the inner wall of the city wall, and put all the torches they could find. Lights up and stays on the outside of the wall.

Standing on a high place in the inner city, you can see the bright lights of the outer city.

Instead of noticing that the number of Zhao troops on the outer city wall has decreased, people in the inner city will mistakenly think that there are more and more people on the outer city wall.

The county magistrate of Le County didn't feel sleepy at all, and was always paying attention to the situation on the outer city wall.

Zhao Jun had occupied the outer city wall of Le County for more than six hours, and the county magistrate still couldn't figure out why Le County was breached.

It is a pity that the leader of the garrison in Le County is dead, and most of the garrison on the outer city wall were captured or killed in battle. Only a few people fled back to the city, as if they were scared out of their wits, except for "Prince Zhao, you are not human." 'Can't say anything.

Is it true that Prince Zhao is a god in the sky, as rumored, so he can't do it with godly tricks?

"Prince Zhao is back?"

The county magistrate got up from the chair suddenly, completely ignoring the ear-piercing sound of the chair scraping across the ground, and looked at the messenger, like a beast that had been hungry for a long time, and finally found a prey that could satisfy him. This prey Fortunately, it just happened to land on his mouth.

When he heard that the outer city wall was in emergency, the magistrate of Le County, although he did not believe it in every possible way, immediately organized the people in the inner city to resist Zhao Jun to the death.

After receiving 'Zhao Jun took down the outer city wall, he began to rectify the outer city wall, and there was no sign of rushing to the inner city. ' after the message.

The county magistrate didn't know whether to be happy or complicated.

Le County was destroyed, and the other seven counties in Yanzhou Baguan would definitely not, and dare not ignore it.

Later, he incited the people to make trouble at the outer city wall and drag Zhao Jun on the outer city wall.

When the reinforcements arrive, none of Zhao Jun on the outer city wall can escape!

It was all the fault of the commander of the Le County garrison that Le County was captured by Zhao Jun. As the county magistrate, he led the people to correct this mistake in time, and was able to capture a large number of Zhao Jun.

Even if the King of Yanzhou didn't reward him for his meritorious service of "holding the inner city and counterattacking", he would not implicate him for the fault of Le County being attacked by Zhao Jun.

It's a pity that Prince Zhao left Le County immediately after taking down the outer city wall.

If he can capture or besiege Prince Zhao...

The ambition that had been forced to give up once again had hope, and the magistrate of Le County seemed to have seen the official hat that was about to fall on his head.

For such a great achievement, how can anyone have a share in seeing it!

If you can get the first merit, it is not a delusion to be promoted to the third rank.

The county magistrate of Le County, after getting a positive answer from the people who reported the letter, repeatedly asked for wooden ladders to be brought for him, climbed up to the roof himself, and looked eagerly in the direction of the outer city wall.

He watched with his own eyes that the number of torches on the outer city wall changed from small to large, almost lighting up half of the sky, and he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

Prince Zhao must have lost his sense of propriety when he heard about the shocking changes in Le County, so that he didn't realize that the other seven gates were rushing to help Le County. Not only did they not withdraw their troops immediately, they even brought more people here.

What kind of peerless famous general is just a blown name.

He just acted aggressively, didn't he let Prince Zhao impatiently get into the trap he arranged at will?

It's a pity that the distance between the inner city and the outer city is too far. Even if the outer city wall is illuminated by torches like daylight, the county magistrate is still unable to accurately find Prince Zhao by virtue of the 'beaded crown and black robe'.

"My lord, the cold dew is not as heavy as the daytime, you might as well go down first..."

Before the county lieutenant could finish his sentence, he was interrupted roughly by the magistrate, "If Bandit Zhao doesn't go, how can I feel at ease!"

As soon as the words came out, the county magistrate was surprised that his tone was too impolite. Looking sideways, the county lieutenant's face was really ugly, but he didn't intend to attack.

Contempt flashed in the county magistrate's eyes.

This idiot didn't realize at all that although Le County was in crisis, it was also the biggest opportunity for their official career.

He didn't even find out until now that he deliberately detained the county lieutenant by his side in order to prevent the county lieutenant in charge of public security in the county from winning the first merit.

Although he disliked the county magistrate's stupidity and lack of wink, the county magistrate did not show it.

He grabbed the county lieutenant's arm, and his tone was full of apology and self-blame, "My heart is full of resentment towards Thief Zhao, which is why I am so impatient. Don't bother with me."

The county lieutenant has long been used to listening to the county magistrate everywhere, even if he is reprimanded for his kindness, he is just unhappy, far from angry.

At this time, after hearing the county magistrate's apology, the county lieutenant felt a deep sense of guilt while ironing it out.

The safety of the people in Le County is on the adults, so it's okay if he can't help, how can he get angry with the adults when he makes the adults upset?

Although the ideas were completely different, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant still reached a consensus.

The two were humble and praised each other, as if they had endless things to say.

However, when a loud noise came from not far away, the county magistrate suddenly pushed the county captain away when he realized that the roof was collapsing.

There are fewer and fewer places to stay, and only by pushing this idiot down can he last longer!

The county lieutenant was so frightened by the loud sound that he didn't even notice that the roof was collapsing. He was pushed out by the huge force in his chest unexpectedly, and all his reactions followed his body's instincts completely.

Holding his head in his hands, tightening his elbows to his knees, he rolled on the ground many times before coming to a complete stop.

"Earth Dragon turned over!"

"Thieves Zhao offended God, and God is going to chop them off!"

"Earthquake! Run outside!"

"Master County Lieutenant?!"

……

The county lieutenant, who was dizzy from the fall, and his bones ached, was helped up by the yamen servants, and he had no time to think about what happened, why he fell from the roof to the ground, and subconsciously said, "My lord, hurry up, go See how the county magistrate is doing!"

The yamen servants next to the county lieutenant hurried to the house where a third of the roof had collapsed.

In a short while, there were wailing sounds both inside and outside the courtyard.

"The county magistrate fell to his death!"

"The city wall has collapsed!"

The county lieutenant was stunned, resisting dizziness, and rushed to the house where a third of the roof had collapsed.

Before entering the door, the strong smell of blood came to the nostrils.

With just one glance, the county lieutenant almost vomited out the overnight meal.

Even if the county magistrate fell off the roof unprepared, as long as his head was not on the ground, it was unlikely that he would fall to his death directly.

But as luck would have it, the county magistrate turned his head to the ground.

Thinking that the county magistrate might have fallen headfirst to push him away, the county lieutenant immediately had tears in his eyes, knelt on the ground and wailed, "My lord!"

Obviously he practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his lord is a frail scholar. When he was in danger, he gave up his life to protect him.

More and more yamen servants in the yard did not give the county lieutenant any time to be sad. They rushed to the county lieutenant's side in a panic, and their chattering retelling was full of fear that could not be concealed, "The city wall has collapsed!"

Without the city walls, even a well-located city would be like a general who lost all his weapons and soldiers.

From indestructible to vulnerable.

What's the use of reinforcements coming?

The city wall cannot be repaired so quickly, and Zhao Jun will not just watch Le County repair the city wall.

The county lieutenant was full of hatred for Zhao Jun.

If it wasn't for observing Zhao Jun's situation, how could the county magistrate appear on the roof at night.

After hearing the words of the servants around him, the county lieutenant said without thinking, "Isn't it good that the city wall has collapsed? This is God helping Le County to get rid of Zhao's bandits!"

These Zhao thieves deserve to be buried with the county magistrate!

As soon as the county lieutenant's voice fell, there was a loud noise exactly the same as the 'earthquake' just now.

A third of the roof of the house had collapsed, and many tiles had fallen.

Different degrees of blankness and fear appeared on everyone's faces.

They have never heard that when the ground shakes, there will be loud noises.

Even the county lieutenant couldn't care less about being sad for the county magistrate.

After looking around for a week, he immediately ran to the ancient tree outside the yard.

Someone who was sharper and bolder than the county lieutenant had already shouted from the branches of the ancient tree, "The city wall to the north has also collapsed!"

While the county lieutenant was climbing up the old tree, there were two loud noises that were the same as before.

However, the county lieutenant could already distinguish the slight difference between the two loud noises.

One to the west and one to the east.

The county lieutenant stopped several times, and after finally climbing to the top of the tree, he saw almost indistinguishable ruins in four directions.

On the contrary, the houses that could be seen were not seriously damaged, at most there were gaps or small gaps in the roof, and the most damaged house was the roof where he and the county magistrate were standing before.

When the people of Le County fell into fear and confusion, Zhao Jun outside Le County was not much better.

Under the order of His Royal Highness, they withdrew the Yanzhou military prisoners from Le County and temporarily formed an array outside Le County.

Although they were not reconciled to giving up the city that they had finally conquered so easily, they would never hesitate when faced with Chong Yi's order.

The development of things is quite different from what they imagined.

They withdrew from Le County first, followed by the cavalry, General Ping, who was eager to step back, and finally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was riding a maroon horse with a black blast at his side.

There was a thunderous sound behind His Royal Highness, and the majestic city wall gradually cracked amidst the loud noise, and then completely collapsed.

"Your Highness!"

There were successive exclamations, only a few broke through the throat.

Most people completely lost their voices in the unprecedented fright, and even if they spoke, they couldn't make a sound.

Chong Yi rode his horse and rushed to Zhao Jun, whose formation was completely chaotic before he knew it, tightened the reins and looked back.

Le County can be called a majestic outer city wall, which has been reduced to large and small clods.

Ping Zhang's eyes are always focused on Chong Yi.

He cautiously stretched out his hand to touch Chifeng, only to be dissatisfied with Chifeng's nose, he dared to believe that the person in front of him was really Chong Yi, and at the same time he heaved a sigh of relief, only to realize that in a short period of time, he was just like the one above. Throat sore like fire for days.

Following Chong Yi's gaze to look at the outer city wall of Le County that has become a mound of dirt, Ping Zhang swallowed hard, ignoring the pain in his throat.

He even disliked that the pain in his throat was not enough for him to distinguish between dreams and reality, so he bit his tongue hard.

hiss!

This is the 'firestone' that Song Peiyu has studied for ten years and spent countless manpower and material resources to succeed, but has never been willing to take it out?

Chong Yi slapped the whip on his palm erratically, following the arc of his wrist, it moved lightly, causing Chi Feng and Mo Jiang to chase after the other side of the whip, thinking that Chong Yi was playing with them.

It's a pity that even if Chong Yi was absent-minded, he wouldn't let Chi Feng and Mo Jiang bite the horsewhip easily. The especially nimble and mischievous whip would escape from Chi Feng and Mo Jiang's mouths every time, and Mo Jiang would accidentally bite him. On my brother's ear, in exchange for my brother's merciless iron hoof.

The riding whip, still jiggling cheerfully, immediately fell out of favor.

Feeling that the two horses were getting more and more excessive, and they were about to fight while still carrying him, Chong Yi took the rein in each hand and forced Chi Feng and Mo Jiang to be quiet.

When going to order flint in the north, Chong Yi deliberately brought Ping Zhang with him.

Later, he and Ping Zhang completed the pointing of the firestones on the west and east sides at the same time.

After the four walls of Le County were turned into ruins, Chong Yi turned around on his horse without hesitation.

When passing by the captured Yanzhou Army, he suddenly smelled a strange foul smell.

Chong Yi glanced strangely at the Yanzhou army who were trembling and lying together, and ordered in a low voice, "Don't take them with you, let's go."

After all, Chong Yi had already left in the direction of Wang Xiaowei and ten thousand infantrymen.

After seeing the four walls of Le County collapsed, Zhao Jun had no objection to leaving immediately.

In Le County without city walls, they can come back whenever they want.

As long as they have enough troops, they don't even need to have enough troops, as long as they are brave enough, they can occupy Le County at any time.

At this time, Le County is no different from the three-way zone that is at the mercy of others.

Until Chong Yi led [-] infantry and [-] cavalry to join the [-] infantry led by Wang Xiaowei, they did not encounter any reinforcements who were heading to Le County.

Chong Yi ordered everyone to rest in place and wait for news from the scouts.

The scout said that the reinforcements closest to Le County all stopped where they were when they heard Huoshi's voice.

Several consecutive scouts who went in different directions stated that there were at least 2 reinforcements sent by other counties to Le County.

Ping Zhang couldn't help counting with his fingers, and asked hesitantly, "There are about 20 troops in Yanzhou Eight Passes?"

After all, Yanzhou still has ten dangerous defenses bordering Qingzhou on the other side.

Although the entrances in the north and south of Yanzhou are smaller, and each has only one checkpoint, there must be enough garrisons.

With the size of Yanzhou, before the increase of troops, the two sides have a total of 25 to 35 troops, which is already the limit.

Chong Yi said 'hmm', and asked Pingzhang to take [-] infantry and the remaining half of Huo Shi, all the way north, looking for an opportunity to bomb the 'Yanzhou Eight Passes' again.

He took [-] infantry and the remaining half of the flint, all the way south.

As long as two more 'Yanzhou Eight Passes' lose their city walls, even if only one city wall is lost, the entire 'Yanzhou Eight Passes' will collapse.

Song Peiyu waited in Xi County for five days before he finished eating the food he brought with the army and had to return to Pingzhang.

Pingzhang's face was full of undisguised pride, and he couldn't wait to greet Song Peiyu who came out of the city, "My luck is so good! I walked along the county town to the north of Le County, and there were two people with only [-] yuan left. Garrison's 'empty city'!"

He doesn't think he is a smart person, and his so-called premonition has never been accurate.

So after Pingzhang and Chongyi parted ways, he simply chose the most stupid method, feint attacking every county he passed.

Anyway, the troops of the Eight Passes of Yanzhou were all concentrated in Le County.

Based on the information obtained by the scouts, there are about 15 Yanzhou troops gathering in Le County.

Based on a total of 20 garrisons at the Eight Passes of Yanzhou, there will only be more than 1 people at the Eight Passes of Yanzhou except Le County, and less than 2 garrisons.

Pingzhang brought 3 people, how could he be afraid of a city with only more than 1 people stationed, at worst, if he finds that there are too many people and can't be defeated, he will change the place.

The distribution of troops in the four counties that Pingzhang passed was extremely uneven.

Two of the counties have about [-] garrisons, while the other two counties have only [-] garrisons.

Pingzhang unceremoniously took down two county towns with only [-] garrisons.

When the flint was used to blow up the first county town, Pingzhang still had delusions and led people away after only blowing up one of the outer city walls.

When bombing the second county seat, Pingzhang used all the remaining flints and blasted three outer city walls before leaving.

In this way, there are already three counties in Yanzhou Baguan that are comparable to the three-way zone.

The remaining five counties are unable to support themselves, and can no longer support the prestige of 'Yanzhou Eight Passes'.

It took ten years and countless manpower and material resources to research it, but the flint, which had been hidden for many years because of its lethality, finally came in handy.

Not only played a vital role, but did not cause mass casualties.

Song Peiyu should be happy, but she can't help worrying about Chong Yi.

Ping Zhang has returned, and Chong Yi, who is more decisive in terms of marching speed and decision-making, is still nowhere to be seen, not even news.

Song Peiyu was not worried about Chongyi's accident.

Not to mention Chong Yi's ability, with Chong Yi's reputation and status, if something happens to him, he will definitely not go silent.

Is it...following Le County all the way south, and went to other places.

I don't know how Chong Yi solved the military rations along the way.

Could it be by robbing the city of Yanzhou?

The next day, Song Peiyu still did not receive any news from Chongyi, but received a letter from Luoyang.

Ever since Zhao Jun sent troops to Yan, Song Peiyu could always receive letters from Luoyang.

Later, Luoyang completely became an 'isolated city' and could no longer exchange information with the outside world.

Since then, Song Peiyu has never received a letter from Luoyang.

This letter was sent by Luoyang to the surrounding counties, and Zhao Jun was asked to deliver it to Song Peiyu for help.

Not only is the way of sending the letter special, but the content of the letter is also quite strange.

The person who wrote the letter was Wu Jinfei. He asked Song Peiyu when he would return to Luoyang, and complained euphemistically, why Chong Yi went to Xixian County without going through Luoyang when he went south from Jinshan Pass.

Even though Song Peiyu was extremely intelligent, she thought about the letter for a while before realizing what Wu Jinfei meant.

This is... Can't wait to be Zhao Chen?

The most amazing thing is that there is a mark of jade seal on this ordinary letter paper.

Song Peiyu was very familiar with the jade seal on the letter paper.

After all, he once held the Qing Emperor's jade seal with his own hands and stamped so many seals.

Song Peiyu really didn't know how to answer this letter.

He was thinking about Chong Yi so much that he couldn't separate his thoughts from guessing the content of the letter and the meaning of the jade seal on it.

After thinking about it for a while, I simply put this letter in the box to eat ashes.

That night, Song Peiyu finally received the news that Chong Yi asked someone to send it back, and it was a flamboyant word 'An'.

The person who sent the letter told Song Peiyu that Chong Yi had already blown up the outer city walls of the three counties in the south of Le County with flint.

He parted from Chongyi two days ago, when Chongyi was at the junction of Yizhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

It's a pity that when Song Peiyu asked the messenger what Chong Yi's plans were going to be next, the messenger's face was blank and he didn't know what to ask.

Song Peiyu didn't force it either.

If Chong Yi's plans were known to everyone, he would be so worried that he would not be able to sleep.

Another three days later, Song Peiyu didn't receive any new news about Chong Yi, but when he was having breakfast, he heard loud shouts from outside the city wall.

Song Peiyu rubbed between her eyebrows, not surprised at all.

In a short period of time, Chong Yi ruined Yanzhou Eight Passes, which Yanzhou was proud of, at a speed that Yanzhou people could not react at all.

It's strange that the king of Yanzhou can bear this breath.

Fortunately, after Chongyi defeated the Turks, Xianyang originally planned to increase the army to Jinshan Pass, so he changed his way to Xixian County.

There is also Zhao Jun from Jinshanguan, who is also on his way to Xixian County.

In a maximum of two days, Xixian County can welcome 15 Zhao troops

Adding in the existing 19 troops in Xi County, the total is [-].

At least there is no problem defending the city.

When Song Peiyu walked up the city wall against the setting sun, the Yanzhou army had already attacked the city for two rounds.

Ping Zhang told Song Peiyu that there were about 16 Yanzhou troops under the city.

He led Xixian's [-] troops to defend the city. Although it was difficult, it was not to the extent of suffering.

Ping Zhang has conquered countless cities with Chong Yi, and he knows how to find loopholes when attacking a city.He covered up all the possible flaws that could be found and used, and did not give the Yanzhou army a chance at all.

Song Peiyu exchanged a few words with Ping Zhang and was about to leave.

He purposely showed up in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and let Ping Zhang make up his mind about the matter on the city wall.

Walking on the steps, Song Peiyu heard the quiet city wall suddenly burst into shouts.

"Look, is that the Suzaku flag!"

"His Royal Highness is back!"

……

Song Peiyu immediately turned around, strode up the city wall, and snatched the binoculars from the unknown captain.

Greedy eyes looked at Chong Yi carefully, and then gradually regained his composure. Song Peiyu then noticed that there were definitely more than ten thousand people behind Chong Yi, which seemed to be only one-third less than the 16 Yanzhou troops under the city wall.

A distorted voice flashed through the crowd, "Look at the flag on the left side of the Suzaku flag, is it the golden knife flag of General Ji Tong?"

Pingzhang yelled hoarsely, "Beat the war drum! Open the city gate! Let me charge!"
