Five hundred and ninetieth eight chapters comprehensive attack
Qingzhou.
A sudden spring rain declares that the long winter is about to end.
Sitting at the door of the bedroom, Xiao Ming chatted with Fei Yueer while eating melon seeds.
Since ordering the capture of Jinling City, he was very nervous every day, fearing that the battle of Jinling City would lead to a crushing defeat.
"Your Highness has been frowning these days. Are you still worried about the situation in Jinling City?" Fei Yue'er ate the melon seeds and put them on the plate. When she gathered too much, she ate with Xiao Ming.
The same is true for Xiao Ming, and the couple had a very tacit understanding.
"Yes, Ye Qingyun has set out for twelve days. Regardless of success or failure, the news should come back." Xiao Ming sighed slightly. It has been intermittent with the war in Wei for a year, and now it is time for him to fully occupy Wei.
According to the news that Wang Xuanzhuan returned, King Zhao finally broke through Jianmen Pass half a month ago with the help of the barbarians and cannons. Since then, the Bashu gate has been opened. Facing King Zhao and the barbarians' cavalry, he believed that King Shu would not last long and would lose the world's granary.
From then on, King Zhao would occupy Chang'an City, and use Bashu as the granary to advance and retreat freely. Wang Xuan also mentioned that King Zhao used a musket team this time. Since the Chang'an Rebellion, King Zhao had been producing musket guns. This time, he used a musket team of 15,000 people to attack Jianmen Pass.
Although these muskets were part of what Xiao Ming sold to him, this number was enough to show that King Zhao had copied many coercion guns, and what he was most worried about was that King Zhao would hand over the coercion gun technology to the barbarians.
After all, for the sake of the royal power, he would lose all the bottom line. King Zhao had already surrendered to the barbarians. There is nothing that cannot be done now.
While the two were talking, a voice suddenly came, "Your Highness, Jinling City has been conquered, Ye Qingyun sent someone to send all the seals of the King of Wei."
The sound rang out in the distance, overwhelming the drizzle, and then Niu Ben came to the main hall with the light rain.
When he got closer, Niu Ben bowed and said, "I have met the princess and your highness."
"Governor Niu is exempt from courtesy." Xiao Ming said, and Fei Yue'er nodded and walked into the hall. She always chose not to interfere with government affairs.
Niu Ben bowed and said, "Your Highness, since the end, the general has just received the good news from Jinling City. Ye Qingyun has taken down Jinling City, and the King of Wei has also been imprisoned in the prison of Jinling City."
"Really?" Xiao Ming stood up from the chair. This time he had to be excited, because the defeat of Jinling City basically means that the war in Wei was about to end.
"It's true." Niu Ben smiled, and he handed the king seal in his hand to Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming took the jade-carved seal with the word Wei engraved on the bottom. He laughed out loud. This year, today was his happiest day. Although his vassal state has developed in the past three years, his overall wealth is still not as good as that of Wei.
Moreover, Wei has many cities and populations, which is a huge wealth in itself.
As long as Wei land is taken down, not only will his products expand their sales, but the financial problems of the banished country will be solved as well. This Wei land is not as good as a world granary, but most of the granary can still be compared.
"Since that's the case, I immediately ordered Lu Fei to attack Chuzhou. The King of Wei was captured and Xiao Han was trapped in Chuzhou City. If Xiao Han was given again, the generals of Wei were completely without leaders. This time we took the remaining city in Wei in one fell swoop." Xiao Ming said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Niu Ben nodded heavily.
Turning around and leaving, Niu Ben asked the scout to send the news to the Chuzhou front in the rain. After receiving Niu Ben's order, Lu Fei officially prepared to launch an attack on Chuzhou City.
"General, should you continue to starve the soldiers in the city for a few days?" Luo Hong said to Lu Fei.
Lu Fei held the military order in his hand. He looked at the listless soldiers in Chuzhou City and said, "No need, the soldiers in the city are probably hungry now. Now you let the logistics company make porridge in front of the camp, and at the same time, you send someone to tell the soldiers in the city that as long as you surrender, you will have porridge to drink."
"Yes." Luo Hong nodded.
"Ye Qingyun is really capable, but I won't lose to you." Lu Fei laughed.
The reinforcements sent by the King of Wei came to Chuzhou City a few days ago, but before they arrived at Chuzhou City, they seemed to have received the news that the city of Jinling was destroyed. The reinforcements that rescued Xiao Han did not want to fight, and they were slowing down along the way. Now they were scattered like birds and beasts, and they didn't use them to do anything.
At that time, he just suspected that something happened in Jinling City. Now Niu Ben's military order made him confirm the news that Jinling City was broken, so he was not going to attack immediately, but was going to have a heart-war first.
Soon, the chef Ding of the Southern Expedition Army moved the big iron pot to the front of Chuzhou City, and cooked rice porridge in front of the Chuzhou garrison. The soldiers of the Southern Expedition Army lined up to guard the surroundings.
Making fire and making porridge, the strong fragrance of rice drifted along the north wind toward the city wall of Chuzhou. The hungry defenders immediately looked at the iron pot outside the city.
At this time, a soldier holding the loudspeaker walked forward a few steps. The loudspeaker was similar to a cone and was rolled up from iron sheets. The soldier's voice spread far through the loudspeaker.
"Brothers in the city, are you hungry? If you are hungry, come out to eat porridge. Our general said. As long as you put down the weapons in your hands, we will never kill you. We just received the news that Jinling City has been captured, your King of Wei has also been arrested, and the Wei Kingdom has been destroyed. Why do you have to sacrifice in vain?"
The loud voice came to Chuzhou City, and the soldiers immediately started to make noise.
"Jinling City was captured? How is this possible?" The soldiers on the city came from Jinling City, and belonged to reinforcements from Jinling City. The words of the Southern Expedition Army made them feel confused.
"How is it impossible? The firearms of the Southern Expedition Army are so powerful. There are not many troops left in Jinling City. How can we block the attack of the King of Qi's army?" said a soldier.
"What should I do? The King of Wei was also arrested. I don't want to die here in vain." Another soldier cried.
As they cried, the other reinforcements were all worried. The problem they faced was not that they were besieged by the Southern Expedition Army, but that the food in the city had been almost eaten in the past half month.
A small city of Chuzhou is crowded with more than 100,000 troops. There is not enough food in the city. They are already eating once a day and will probably have no food to eat in a short while.
Just as the soldiers were talking, a sudden sound of fighting sounded from the Chuzhou city gate. Then the city of Chuzhou City opened, and the Chuzhou soldiers ran out of the city first.
These soldiers were all Chen Wei's subordinates. When Chen Wei was detained, they were dissatisfied with Xiao Han. In such a desperate situation, they had no intention of fighting again.
"Shoot the arrows and kill them!" the captain on the city wall shouted.
