Chapter 449 Be famous, be early
Lei Qi thought about the various methods Yang Xuan might use.
night raid,
not coming!
Tunneling.
not coming!
Pretending to be reinforcements.
not coming!
Yang Xuan attacked Huangzhou City in such a rigid manner.
Of course, Lei Qi likes this kind of hard bridge and hard horse offense and defense, so that the advantage of Zhou's large number of troops can be reflected.
After the four-day offensive and defensive battle, although the Zhou army suffered heavy casualties, the city defense was still stable.
And Zhou Jun is constantly maturing.
It was in line with Lei Qi's expectations.
He only needs a few more days to sharpen, and he is ready to reorganize the Huangzhou Army.
At that time, with Yongzhou's reinforcements, he is confident to repel Yang Xuan.
Famous general?
At that moment, Lei Qi inevitably felt a little contemptuous.
But he will not underestimate the enemy!
Therefore, when he saw that Yang Xuan dispatched the guards around him, he reacted quickly and gathered the masters under his command.
Coupled with the [-] elite reserve team he has been holding in his hands, he is confident that Yang Xuan will hate the city.
But when the master under his command went up, it was just a face-to-face meeting, and he was beaten to pieces.
Of the two remaining, one turned and ran, the other screamed, seemingly insane.
There is no way not to be crazy!
He saw his companions being easily beaten to death by these big men, and he was sprayed with brains all over his body. The extreme fear made him collapse immediately.
"Fire arrows!"
The reserves are on the move.
The arrows were easily slapped away by the big men, and there was no need for weapons.
Lei Qi narrowed his eyes, "This is a brave warrior who is more terrifying than a master, stop them!"
The reserve team of [-] fierce soldiers rushed forward, only blocking this group for less than [-] breaths.
After defeating Lei Qi's reserve team, the assault team of almost 200 people showed its majesty.
"Crossbow arrows!"
The crossbowman finally arrived.
Lin Feibao's complexion changed, "Be careful!"
They are physically strong, and they are not afraid of ordinary bows and arrows.But when faced with a more fierce crossbow, he had to kneel.
"Shield!"
A wave of crossbow arrows struck.
"Ow!"
A horned dragon guard was hit by an arrow and retreated while clutching his shoulder.
The body can't hold the crossbow, but it's not easy to wind the crossbow.
And this time was enough for the horned dragon guard to give them a blow.
Taking advantage of the timing when the crossbowmen were winding up, Lin Feibao rushed over with his subordinates.
The iron rod was swung, and the sound of fracture was like throwing a bamboo pole into a fire and burning it, and the sound came after it burst.
Amidst the miserable howls, the crossbowmen became the targets of Qiu Longwei to vent his anger.
Lei Qi glanced at Qian Nan at this moment.
He wanted to ask Bianjing for help last time, and asked for some good hands.
But Qian Nan flatly refused.
If there is a team of good players in hand, Lei Qi vowed that he would be able to drive these fierce gangsters from the city.
But now...
"Inspector, withdraw!"
The two men went up with people.
Lei Qi roared, "Cavalry assemble!"
The wolf cavalry assembled under the city.
Just waiting for this group of people to rush into the city, he was going to use wolf riding to counterattack.
The leader, Lin Feibao, threw out the iron rod in his hand.
Woo!
Lei Qi drew his knife and swung it away.
clang!
The long knife shattered, but the iron rod still flew towards him.
This was a formidable opponent that Lei Qi had never encountered before. With a roar, he picked up a long gun and charged forward.
"Come on!"
Qian Nan didn't know much about battle formations, but he knew the battle was over just by looking at it
"Huangzhou is over!"
He was carried off the top of the wall, and he wailed: "Yang Xuan has been hiding his strength, Lei Qi is incompetent, and he can't detect it!"
Lei Qi just wanted to fight to the death at this moment.
He had thought that Yang Xuan would hide his strength, but how could a governor of Northern Xinjiang have such a good hand?
Tu Chang is already against the sky!
Unexpectedly, what Yang Xuan was hiding was Wang Zha!
Just one blow shattered his confidence.
And this timing was chosen too well, just when the Huangzhou army, including him, was full of confidence, Yang Xuan threw the Wang Bo in his hand.
On the top of the city, the Huangzhou army was desperately blocking the Tang army's attack.
Everyone is waiting for Lei Qi's result.
Lei Qi retreated, and a gap was opened in the city defense.
Don't think about the rest, just run if you can!
Bah!
The spear flew into the sky.
Lei Qi flew back backwards, was caught by his subordinates, and ran down the city.
"withdraw!"
Huangzhou, you can't defend it!
A thousand wolf riders guarded Lei Qi and galloped towards the south gate.
The sound of horseshoes was rapid, and there were countless pairs of eyes in the cracks of the doors of the houses on both sides.
"Failed?"
"Failed!"
The city shouted for a while.
"Failed!"
Someone opened the city gate.
Yang Xuan waved his hand, "Attack!"
The northern Xinjiang cavalry, who had been recharging their energy, launched an attack.
Holding a charcoal pencil in one hand and a small book in the other, the old thief asked, "Why didn't Mr. Lang send Lao Huang and the others up on the first day?"
How is this like the reporters interviewed in the scroll?
This strange idea appeared in Yang Xuan's mind.
It's a pity that she is not a beautiful reporter.
"On the first day, the Huangzhou defenders looked weak, but the desire to defend their home and country was the strongest.
how to say!When people encounter fear, they will burst out with amazing power. At such times, they will be brave enough to stop Lao Huang and the others.This is the reason why the so-called ants kill elephants.
The strength of our army's attack has been about the same in the past few days, and Zhou Jun has also adapted to this level of strength. They feel that our army's skills are beyond their ears.
man!Once they get used to a certain situation, when a huge boulder suddenly hits them from the outside world, they will be at a loss, feeling that they cannot resist, and no matter how much courage they have, they will collapse. "
Yang Xuan thought of the TV series he had seen in the scroll, those people thought they could do their job for the rest of their lives, and they held a solid job.So, they stick to their jobs.
Jobs are gone when massive changes happen externally.
Those people are actually not bad in ability, but their mentality has collapsed.
What about the iron rice bowl?
At this time, they will be at a loss, just like Zhou Jun at this moment.
Isn't it just that big of an attack as promised?
"This is the last straw that breaks their hearts!"
"The city is broken!"
Lei Qi was surrounded by wolf riders and rushed out of the south gate.
Ahead, Qian Nan was surrounded with dozens of riders.
"Lei Shi, save this old man!"
Lei Qi spat out a mouthful of blood, and the previous blow from Lin Feibao was relieved a bit. He looked at Qian Nan with complicated eyes, "Save him!"
His confidants said: "Why is this old dog saving him?"
Lei Qi shook his head and led his subordinates to disperse the hundreds of scouts from the Tang army.
He didn't want to save him, but there were so many people out there. If he sat back and watched Qian Nan be captured, and someone under his command would inform him later, his family would be wiped clean, waiting to be exiled.
It's not that he doesn't believe in his subordinates, he just doesn't believe in people's hearts.
"Thank you very much!" Panting, Qian Nan clasped his hands and said, "Today's battle was due to Yang Gou's cunning, who actually hid such a good player... I see, I am afraid that the two ministers have no such good players under their command."
"Tang Jun is chasing you."
Lei Qi glanced back, and more than a thousand Tang soldiers rushed out from the south gate.
"Huangzhou is over!"
The elite plan he had placed high hopes on was also over.
Those seeds are trapped in the city.
"go!"
Wolf riders escorted them away.
Half an hour later, the city was largely cleared.
"Into the city."
Yang Xuan was surrounded by people and entered Huangzhou City.
The King of Yue was by his side.
When they entered the city, they saw groups of captives standing on both sides of the street.
"Your Majesty!"
Nan He shouted loudly.
Wu pressed a group of prisoners to kneel down.
Like a field of wheat blown down by a strong wind.
An indescribable state of mind made Yue Wang whisper: "So, is this the real majesty?"
Lead the army to fight in all directions, make the enemy fearful, and make the enemy bow their heads.
This is the real King's Landing!
At this moment, Yue Wangye looked at his future.
If this king ascends the throne, he will conquer Beiliao himself!
Conquering the great enemy in the north, in this way, his prestige will surpass the most outstanding emperor of the Tang Dynasty... Emperor Wu!
Yang Xuan's voice came, breaking his longing.
"Immediately go to the Central Route Army to report the victory, and ask Prime Minister Zhang whether our army should rest in Huangzhou or march into Yongzhou!"
At this moment, Wang Shu was convinced, and he cupped his hands and said: "The three armies are going out in this battle, and the left army is the first to break through Huangzhou, so that the king's ability to use troops will be admired by the officials!"
……
Yezhou City is like a small boat, swaying in the wind and rain.
Under the fierce attack of the Tang army, the defenders suffered heavy casualties.
Tang Jun had established a firm foothold at the top of the city several times. Seeing that the city was about to be broken, even Zhang Huan couldn't help but want to attack with the whole army.But then the defenders used crowd tactics to push the Tang army down from the top of the city.
"You are not afraid of death!"
After the wave of attacks was over, the retreating general held his injured arm and looked at the city and said with emotion.
Zhang Huan was also looking at the top of the city, and said coldly: "Zhou Jun's tenacity is beyond my expectation."
Zhou Zun glanced at Zhang Chumao, "There is a trouble."
"Huh?" Zhang Huan snorted softly.
"At the beginning, the court felt that it could win quickly." Zhou Zun's tone was full of unexplained sarcasm.
Zhang Huan knew about this, and Yang Xuan went to the court, and his words made the theory of quick victory of the monarch and his ministers untenable.But his words were slight, and the optimism towards this battle still pervaded Chang'an City.
The same is true for the soldiers in southern Xinjiang. Even Zhang Huan feels that this battle should be overwhelming.
It was true at the beginning that Zhou Jun was almost vulnerable.
Gradually, Zhou Jun's resilience continued to improve, and Tang Jun's attack became more and more difficult.
"What do you want to say?" Zhang Chumao said lightly.
In the entire court, only Zhou Zun and Yang Xuan, the son-in-laws, were cautious about this battle.
"The food and grass allocated by the court are all planned according to quick victory."
Zhang Chumao: "..."
The army has not moved, and the food and grass go first.
Zhang Huan said in a deep voice, "Urge!"
But he knew how far it was from Chang'an to southern Xinjiang.It's fine if you ride fast and light.The heavy trucks rely on the carts, which creak and creak, and the speed can make the impatient people want to beat people.
Zhang Chumao was also in a hurry.
This battle is an opportunity for him and the King of Yue to stand up. If they retreat because of insufficient food and grass...
"Collect!"
Zhou Zun stroked his beard and looked at Zhang Chumao with disdain for the first time.
"The excuse for the rebellion of the foreign races in southern Xinjiang was that the officials expropriated them."
At this moment, there will be another collection of food and grass, and those alien races will protest with rebellion.
The army is in the front, but the backyard is full of flames, so why fight?
I can't figure out such a simple truth... No, it's not that I can't figure it out, but I have my own little abacus in my mind, and it's all my own interests.
Such people are not stupid!
But, bad!
Zhou Zun was suddenly in a trance.
The Zhou family is actually in the same group as this group of people?
"All right!"
The emperor asked the Northern Army to intervene in this battle. The purpose was not pure. It was more to use the Northern Army to contain the Southern Army. Zhang Huan knew this very well.
And Zhou Zun and Yang Xuanweng's son-in-law are pawns to contain the big brothers in northern Xinjiang.
Before that, Zhang Huan was also happy to see the continuous disputes between Zhou Zun and Zhang Chumao, so as to contain Yue Wang and Zhang Chumao.
But this time, he felt disgusted for the first time!
Zhang Chumao suddenly smiled, "Sir, morale is a little low."
"Hmm!" Zhang Huan was thinking about the next battle situation.
"Next time, the old man will lead the team."
"you……"
The so-called son of a thousand gold can't sit down.
As the deputy envoy of Southern Xinjiang, Zhang Chumao has been away from fighting for many years.
"it is good!"
Zhang Huan felt that this was also a way to boost morale.
Later, Zhang Chumao went up with a team of sergeants.
"Fire arrows!"
Arrows rained down from the city's head.
Holding up his shield, Zhang Chumao was the first to climb to the top of the city.
The defenders swarmed in.
The two sides saw each other repeatedly at the top of the city, and after a while Zhang Chumao rushed in with his subordinates, but as soon as they cheered, the defenders organized a reserve team to counterattack.
Zhou Jun's brave and fearless style made Tang Jun put away his heart to underestimate the enemy.
"Your son-in-law said at the beginning...don't underestimate Nan Zhou."
"Yes."
"Some people say that when you get old, your memory will be bad. I've almost forgotten what your son-in-law said. But just now, I recalled it one by one. It can be seen that this person! It's not that he has a bad memory, but... I don't want to remember!"
"Zhang Xiang's memory is naturally good."
"I remember your son-in-law said... After the family and the country, no matter how cowardly a man is, he will take up a knife and gun for his wife and children. If he dies, he can live several wives and children. Inspired by such courage, the Southern Zhou Army will Frantically blocked our army."
"That's just my own opinion." Zhou Zun didn't know the meaning of Zhang Huan's words, but it was right to be humble for his son-in-law.
Zhang Huan sighed, "Do you know what the old man is thinking at this moment?"
"I don't know."
"The old man was thinking, why didn't he come to Southern Border at the beginning!"
Is this trying to win over Zitai?Zhou Zun was stunned, and slowly looked at him.
Zhang Huan nodded, "The old man is serious."
……
Yang Xuan's life in Northern Xinjiang is really good, which can be seen from Zhou Ning's letter.
The people under his rule supported him, the officials respected him, Tao County Huang Chunhui valued him, and Sima Liu Qing treated Yang Xuan like a father.
Under such a good situation, everyone knows that Yang Xuan's future in Northern Xinjiang is limitless.
Why did he come to southern Xinjiang?
Zhang Huan saw what he was thinking and said, "If he is willing to come, the old man recommends him to take charge of the attack on the rebels."
This is real power!
Once the rebel army is wiped out, Yang Xuan's name will resound throughout the land of southern Xinjiang.
but!
Zhang Chumao!
Zhou Zun glanced at Zhang Chumao on the top of the wall, "He has a great possibility to become Jiedushi."
Zhang Huan nodded: "It only takes a few years for the old man to let your son-in-law be the deputy Jiedu envoy. Frankly speaking, both His Majesty and Zuo Ping will be happy to see your son-in-law as the deputy Jiedu envoy. "
"contain."
If Zhang Chumao is a Jiedu envoy, someone below must restrain him!
And Yang Xuan, the deadly enemy, is the best candidate.
"Correct."
Zhang Huan said softly: "I don't care about killing sharp fighters, why? It's just because I have seen too many powerful fighters. But the eyes of your son-in-law made my heart move. Talents are rare..."
Zhang Huan wanted to pave the way for himself!
Once Yang Xuan agreed, he became a member of Zhang Huan's family.
In this way, even if Zhang Huan went to Chang'an as an official, he still maintained a strong influence in southern Xinjiang.
Secondly, you can also make friends with the Zhou family.
This series of calculations made a rattling sound.
However, it is highly operable.
"Your son-in-law needs fame, and there is a stalemate in the middle. The old man is going to let Zhang Chumao go to the left army to take charge, get your son-in-law back, and let him take charge of the attack on Yezhou. Yezhou seems to be tough, but the old man dares to say that he can't defend it." Ten days."
Zhang Huan looked at Zhou Zun, "If you break Yezhou City, you can be called a famous general.
To be famous, you must do it early! "
This is an exchange.
Zhang Huan is willing to give Yang Xuan a chance to become famous.
The price was Zhou's support and Yang Xuan's promise to come to southern border.
As for how to operate, Zhou Zun and Yang Xuan don't need to worry about it. Zhang Huan has been in the army for many years and has his own network.
Zhou Zun is also deliberating.
He is tempted!
Be famous as early as possible.
The son-in-law is well-known in northern Xinjiang, but in the whole Tang Dynasty, he is just a fledgling.
Come to the Central Route Army and break Yezhou City!
Then build momentum.
Datang will have one more famous player.
this matter...
"Sir, the left army hastened to report."
Zhang Huan said with a smile: "Oh! But I encountered trouble."
Zhou Zun collected his thoughts and watched the messenger rush over under the guard of more than a hundred riders.
near.
The messenger raised his head and said:
"My lord, our army broke through Huangzhou City, so please ask for instructions on what to do next."
It was quiet all around.

The northern Xinjiang cavalry, who had been recharging their energy, launched an attack.

Zhou Jun's brave and fearless style made Tang Jun put away his heart to underestimate the enemy.
"Your son-in-law said at the beginning...don't underestimate Nan Zhou."
"Yes."
"Some people say that when you get old, your memory will be bad. I've almost forgotten what your son-in-law said. But just now, I recalled it one by one. It can be seen that this person! It's not that he has a bad memory, but... I don't want to remember!"
"Zhang Xiang's memory is naturally good."
"I remember your son-in-law said... After the family and the country, no matter how cowardly a man is, he will take up a knife and gun for his wife and children. If he dies, he can live several wives and children. Inspired by such courage, the Southern Zhou Army will Frantically blocked our army."
"That's just my own opinion." Zhou Zun didn't know the meaning of Zhang Huan's words, but it was right to be humble for his son-in-law.
Zhang Huan sighed, "Do you know what the old man is thinking at this moment?"
"I don't know."
"The old man was thinking, why didn't he come to Southern Border at the beginning!"
Is this trying to win over Zitai?Zhou Zun was stunned, and slowly looked at him.
Zhang Huan nodded, "The old man is serious."
……
Yang Xuan's life in Northern Xinjiang is really good, which can be seen from Zhou Ning's letter.
The people under his rule supported him, the officials respected him, Tao County Huang Chunhui valued him, and Sima Liu Qing treated Yang Xuan like a father.
Under such a good situation, everyone knows that Yang Xuan's future in Northern Xinjiang is limitless.
Why did he come to southern Xinjiang?
Zhang Huan saw what he was thinking and said, "If he is willing to come, the old man recommends him to take charge of the attack on the rebels."
This is real power!
Once the rebel army is wiped out, Yang Xuan's name will resound throughout the land of southern Xinjiang.
but!
Zhang Chumao!
Zhou Zun glanced at Zhang Chumao on the top of the wall, "He has a great possibility to become Jiedushi."
Zhang Huan nodded: "It only takes a few years for the old man to let your son-in-law be the deputy Jiedu envoy. Frankly speaking, both His Majesty and Zuo Ping will be happy to see your son-in-law as the deputy Jiedu envoy. "
"contain."
If Zhang Chumao is a Jiedu envoy, someone below must restrain him!
And Yang Xuan, the deadly enemy, is the best candidate.
"Correct."
Zhang Huan said softly: "I don't care about killing sharp fighters, why? It's just because I have seen too many powerful fighters. But the eyes of your son-in-law made my heart move. Talents are rare..."
Zhang Huan wanted to pave the way for himself!
Once Yang Xuan agreed, he became a member of Zhang Huan's family.
In this way, even if Zhang Huan went to Chang'an as an official, he still maintained a strong influence in southern Xinjiang.
Secondly, you can also make friends with the Zhou family.
This series of calculations made a rattling sound.
However, it is highly operable.
"Your son-in-law needs fame, and there is a stalemate in the middle. The old man is going to let Zhang Chumao go to the left army to take charge, get your son-in-law back, and let him take charge of the attack on Yezhou. Yezhou seems to be tough, but the old man dares to say that he can't defend it." Ten days."
Zhang Huan looked at Zhou Zun, "If you break Yezhou City, you can be called a famous general.
To be famous, you must do it early! "
This is an exchange.
Zhang Huan is willing to give Yang Xuan a chance to become famous.
The price was Zhou's support and Yang Xuan's promise to come to southern border.
As for how to operate, Zhou Zun and Yang Xuan don't need to worry about it. Zhang Huan has been in the army for many years and has his own network.
Zhou Zun is also deliberating.
He is tempted!
Be famous as early as possible.
The son-in-law is well-known in northern Xinjiang, but in the whole Tang Dynasty, he is just a fledgling.
Come to the Central Route Army and break Yezhou City!
Then build momentum.
Datang will have one more famous player.
this matter...
"Sir, the left army hastened to report."
Zhang Huan said with a smile: "Oh! But I encountered trouble."
Zhou Zun collected his thoughts and watched the messenger rush over under the guard of more than a hundred riders.
near.
The messenger raised his head and said:
"My lord, our army broke through Huangzhou City, so please ask for instructions on what to do next."
It was quiet all around.
