Chapter 774 Surrender is also important
Late February. Mobile
An urgent report was sent to Luo Cheng, Linyi.
Fu Gonghu suffered a great defeat in Jiangnan. Du Fuwei crossed the river and surrounded Jiangdu and kept him in guarding the four counties in Jiangnan. Because Du took away most of the troops, Fu Gongyu's troops remained weak.
But in the east there was Shen Faxing, in the west there were Zuo Caixiang and Lin Shihong, and then Li Zitong also flew from the north of the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River. The four groups almost besieged Fu Gongyuan together.
Bad news comes one by one.
Lin Shihong captured Xuancheng County, Zuo Caixiang attacked Danyang County, Lin Shihong captured Xuancheng County, and Chen Faxing attacked Wu County, and Li Zitong entered Piling.
The four counties in Jiangnan who assisted Gongyuan encountered a chain reaction defeat, and in the end, only one Danyang was left to guard.
But at this time, Du Fuwei also suffered a big defeat in Jiangdu.
Previously, Du Fuwei had already surrounded Jiangdu and Chen Ling retreated to the city.
Du Fu attacked fiercely, and he held on.
Du Fuwei surrendered, so he hesitated.
So he fell into a stalemate.
Jiangnan Fu Gong's army was defeated, and at this time, news came that Pengcheng Lai Hu'er died of illness and Li Yuan returned westward.
Du Fuwei personally led more than 10,000 elite troops back to Jiangnan, but as a result, he had just evacuated from the Jiangdu City. That night, Chen Ling launched a night attack, leading the suicide squad as the vanguard, and went out of the city to enter the army camp left by Du Fuwei outside Jiangdu City.
At that time, Du Fuwei, Kan Ling, Wang Junkuo, and Ximen Junyi all led the main elites to leave. The remaining military generals did not expect that Chen Ling, who was called Chen Lao, would dare to attack the camp, so they were defeated.
Chen Ling defeated the troops under Jiangdu City, killed thousands of enemies, captured more than 20,000 prisoners, and almost all the troops were lost.
After lifting the siege of Jiangdu, Chen Len took the opportunity to lead his army to pursue Du Fuwei again.
But he was very cunning and led his troops to hang behind him. Du Fuwei was going to fight, but he retreated again. Du Fuwei was going to leave, and he followed him again. At night, he came to harass him again. Whenever he had the chance, he had to come up and take a few bites, which made Du Fuwei very upset.
As a result, Fu Gonghu lost Jiangning City after this delay.
Fu Gongyuan led thousands of remaining soldiers to wait for reinforcements, and finally abandoned the city and broke through to Jiangbei to find Du Fuwei. As soon as the two brothers met, they suddenly felt extremely cowardly. How could they suddenly become a loser?
There is no way, go west.
At this time, the two brothers had only ten thousand soldiers and did not turn around and fight with Mrs. Chen, but turned around to attack Huaixi.
The first attack on Lujiang County was the capital of the Qi State of Meng Rang, and now it is Li Mi's territory.
The two brothers turned around and attacked fiercely, and actually killed Meng Rang's old subordinates stationed in Lujiang, screaming, either fled or surrendered.
So Du Fuwei occupied Lujiang, attacked cities and land everywhere, and recruited surrenders and rebels, which was very popular in Huaixi.
Pengcheng.
A light cavalry came to the city.
"Where is Chen Ling?"
A young cavalry general stepped forward, went straight to the moat, and shouted loudly at the top of the city, "Do you know what is hitting a stone with an egg, what is blocking a chariot with a mantis arm, and what is knowing the current affairs as a hero?"
The general's voice was extremely loud and he could hear it almost all over the city.
On the top of the city, the Sui army wearing yellow shirts looked at the red shirts under the city with a complicated expression, and they also held the Sui flag, but now they are enemies, not friends.
"Who are you waiting for?"
A guard couldn't help but ask.
The young general immediately pointed back at the big flag behind him, and a white tiger roared on the red flag.
Almost at the same time.
Five thousand cavalrymen behind him yelled in unison.
"Chen Len, the King of Qin led 5,000 Wu Zhongya soldiers to Pengcheng and come to you for a while!"
A total of five thousand loyal and martial soldiers should be the most powerful elite troops today.
One thousand heavy armored Mo Daoists riding horses, one thousand horse-riding swords and shield soldiers, one thousand cavalry bows and infantry, another thousand Mingguang armored light cavalry, plus a whole thousand full armored cavalry heavy armored cavalry.
Infantry is also equipped with two horses.
Both infantry and cavalry have iron armor.
If such a soldier was released a few years ago, it would be nothing, and there were many around the emperor.
But now, in the current situation of separatist rule in various places, although there are many emperors, there are still a few who can produce such an elite force. And this is just Luo Cheng's tooth soldier.
Luo Cheng's name and Zhongwu Army were well-known to everyone in the world in the past ten years.
Chen Ling was in Pengcheng at this time. He defeated Du Fuwei, recovered Liuhe, and rushed to the east of Jiangdu to recover Gaoyou. Then he came to Huai to Pengcheng and took over the emptiness caused by Lai Huer's sudden death from illness.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Pengcheng, Luo Cheng came.
Not only that, Luo Cheng even ignored the soldiers and horses from all over Pengcheng, and actually led only five thousand soldiers to go deeper into the city of Pengcheng. It was only 200 miles away from the Luocheng camp in Linyi.
Isn't he afraid of being surrounded and killed by himself?
But soon Chen Ling smiled bitterly. He knew that although he had just defeated Du Fuwei, he could not do it if he said he wanted to siege Luo Cheng. Although there were only five thousand loyal and martial soldiers, it was difficult for Luo Cheng to rely on these five thousand people to attack Pengcheng. But when he said he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
This King Zhongwu is really arrogant and confident.
But there is no way, they have this strength.
"Let's go and see this King Zhongwu." Chen Len came directly to the city without even removing his armor. On the way, he even thought about why Luo Cheng came so just right. As soon as he entered Pengcheng, Luo Cheng arrived at the city.
Could it be that Luo Cheng already knows his whereabouts?
Then, if Luo Cheng really wanted to rob him, it would be perfect, but he didn't do that. He only brought his troops to the city and showed up to meet him after he entered Pengcheng.
The more you think about it, the more amazing it becomes.
Thinking about it carefully is terrifying!
Behind Chen Ling, a group of generals and schoolmen followed, but everyone looked solemn.
In fact, in the current situation, nine out of ten of these generals and sects have no desire to resist Luo Cheng. They thought that they might as well surrender Luo Cheng. Anyway, Luo Cheng is now under the banner of the Sui family. If they surrender Luo Cheng, they will not have any ugly face, and they are not surrendering thieves and rebellion.
"Xuan Xiang, what exactly did you plan?"
A confidant asked Chen Ling.
"Xuan Xuan, although Li Yuan has passed Nanyang, entered Wuguan, passed Qinling Mountains, and officially entered Guanzhong, his brothers all said that the world is still the King of Qin in the end. We are now alone in Jianghuai. Do we really want to fight to the end? Is it worth it?"
Chen Ling smiled.
"To the end of the battle? Even if you and I are willing, there are probably not many soldiers from Pengcheng, Jiangdu, who are willing."
"Then why did you refuse to accept Luo Cheng's surrender, and why did you defeat Du Fuwei?"
Chen Ling has an ordinary appearance, neither tall nor burly. Although she is wearing armor, she looks more like a county magistrate and always keeps smiling on her face.
"Even if you want to surrender, it depends on the timing and it must be valued. Otherwise, if I take my brothers over there, I may not be recognized. If you follow me, I will also give you an explanation, right?"
"Then are we surrendering now?" the general asked excitedly.
"Surrender, why not surrender? Anyway, I, Chen Ling, also killed Yu Wenhua, Sima Dekan and others, which can be regarded as a loyalty for the Emperor of Daye. I have been guarding Jiangdu Pengcheng for so long. With this remaining soldier, I can defeat Du Fuwei, which fully proves that our Jianghuai soldiers are not weak brigades. Now Luo Cheng is here in Pengcheng again. If we don't surrender, it seems too ignorant."
In fact, if the food in Jiangdu City had not been exhausted, Chen Ling might have to consider it again. Anyway, he had territory and soldiers in his hands, so it would not be too late to surrender.
But now that the food and grass are gone, Luo Cheng is here again, so we can't ask for it anymore.
Chapter completed!
