Chapter 617: Pull the city one after another

After the Nanyoucheng conquered the city, the Dahua army continued to advance and focused on Chencang City.

This Chencang is north of the Wei River and south of the Wei River. Between the two major water systems, the land is fertile and belongs to the Fufeng Delta. It has a large grain output and is also a major barrier to enter the Fufeng hinterland.

When Emperor Gaozu of Han built a plank road and secretly visited Chencang, he chose to land here, killing the three counties around Jingzhao, and defeating Zhang Han, Sima Xin and others, and still considering their geographical advantages.

Hou Junji led his troops to siege three times, and then sent people to fight psychological warfare, constantly shooting arrows into the city, with letters of persuading surrender tied to the arrows.

It is no match for Li Tang to exaggerate how Dahua's army is disciplined, has strong combat power, has advanced steel technology, and has strong troops and horses. It is definitely not something that Li Tang can do. It is to comfort the military and civilians in the city to resist unnecessary resistance.

Meng Chao, the general of the Tang army, ordered soldiers not to read the notes on the arrows and they would collect and burn them every day.

But the three deputy generals discussed in private and wanted to warn them, and turned against each other. One of them was Tuoba Rui, who was originally instigated by Yan Langge.

"Two brothers, Meng Chao's wife Li, is the daughter of the Li family. Although she is just a side branch, she is considered to be related. Therefore, General Meng is so determined to fight to the end, regardless of our life and death, and the safety of the city." Tuoba Rui incited him with jealousy.

Sima Qiu said: "I have also heard that one day Meng Chao got drunk and boasted that he was Li Tang's son-in-law and would definitely be the Duke of the Kingdom in the future. Now he is going to show off for the prince, so that he can receive praise from the court, so that he will suffer those of us who work in the office."

"Rebel, since the two brothers said that, I, Shen Lu, are not a person who is afraid of death. If we three deputy generals act together, General Meng can only be undermined."

Seeing that the two of them were moved, Tuoba Rui felt relieved and continued to drink with them, while secretly discussing the action plan.

The three of them planned to go back and continue to incite the Asian generals, commanders and lieutenants who have a relatively reliable relationship with them, and then mobilize people together.

A few days later, Tuoba Rui, Sima Qiu and others found excuses to hold a banquet to find General Meng and his advisers, called a courageous wine before the war, wishing the flag a victory and defending Chen Cang.

As a result, at the end of the banquet, Meng Chao was a little drunk. Tuoba Rui suddenly ordered the swordsman lying around rushed in and captured all the personal soldiers, counselors and others brought by Meng Chao.

"You must hurry up and control the personal guards and fang soldiers of the commander camp!"

"Leave this to me!" Shen Lu took his own guards to the coach camp to control Meng Chao's confidant commanders and generals.

Sima Qiu went to another camp to stabilize the garrison there.

After Tuoba Rui seized Meng Chao and others, he immediately took people to the city gate and wanted to open the stone gate, cooperate inside and outside to welcome the Dahua soldiers outside the city.

The night is deep, there are not many stars in the sky, and the moonlight is dim.

It was late at night when the Tang army in the city reversed the waters, and the city was sending out signals, and the torches danced regularly, prompting the Dahua army outside the city.

"The city gate is open."

"The soldiers successfully invaded the enemy and rushed in immediately and took over Chen Cangcheng. Those who resisted will be killed without mercy!" The Zhou brothers immediately rushed into the city gate, and the entire Chen Cangcheng was instantly flooded by Dahua's soldiers.

Hou Junji also received military information, was fully armed, and rushed to take over Chen Cangcheng.

"It's great. I captured this city without any effort to spend a single soldier. It belongs to my Dahua to the west of the Sei River. Next, let's see how Li Tang resisted it?"

The fire was bright, and because of mutiny in the city, the Dahua army rushed into the city, holding torches, just like daytime.

Many Tang soldiers were surrounded and imprisoned for some reason. As long as they did not resist, they would not massacre these soldiers.

At this point, the generals and commanders of the Tang army no longer dared to have any other intentions and obediently became surrendered.

Tuoba Rui, Sima Qiu, and Chen Lu came to pay homage to Hou Junji and were encouraged and praised.

Hou Junji looked around the three of them and asked, "The three generals are worthy of praise for being a hero in the current situation. However, if they can go further and make great contributions, they will be even more worthy of celebration."

"Oh? There are other contributions to it?"

Hou Junji smiled mysteriously and said, "That's natural. I suddenly thought of a plan. We occupied the city tonight, and we didn't know about it on the other side of the river. It would be better to pretend to attack the city tomorrow morning. The three of you took a group of elite soldiers from our army and fled. Cross the river and enter the Guoxian City on the east bank of the Li River. Then, after our pursuers arrived at the city, they immediately cooperated inside and outside and could directly take Guocheng!"

After listening to it, Tuoba Rui, Sima Qiu, and Chen Lu all showed strange looks and were impressed by Hou Junji's treacherous strategy.

The war is a clever way, the real and real, and the real are mixed together. The truth is the cleverness of military strategy.

"Since you can make a contribution, you will be willing to take the risk!" Tuoba Rui held his fists and volunteered.

"The last one will go."

"Go together!"

Sima Qiu and Chen Lu were not willing to be outdone, and decided to take a risk. Although there were some risks, wealth and honor were sought in danger. The two felt that the opportunity was great and they could succeed.

Hou Junji sighed, "It's great. I will send someone to report this matter to Your Majesty in an urgent manner. However, the soldiers are very fast and the general will not accept the orders outside the king. Before we can wait for Your Majesty's instructions, we need to take risks and bet this time, because the opportunity is missed, and when the defenders of Guocheng will get the exact news tomorrow night, our army will not be able to do anything. "

Sima Qiu asked, "Don't the old man Chen Cang do not need to be used for troops?"

Hou Junji nodded and said, "Yes, I'm worried that their rebellion will make the plan fail. So, this time, I will transfer you six thousand elite troops to pretend to be deserters and escape to Guocheng on the other side with you. This general will personally lead the troops to pursue him. It's late at night and before midnight, there are still a few hours before dawn. You can send someone to collect some Tang soldiers' uniforms to replace these elite soldiers. Remember, each person will bring an extra white towel. When moving, tie it immediately on his left arm. Then, distinguish it from him. Recognize the towel and not the person."

"As for your order!" the three of them answered in unison, deciding to make another military contribution.
