Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 1164: Brother, open the door!
no no!

There are still many tricks. For example, if intimidation doesn't work, just coerce.

This time, the Northern Expedition army arrived at the foot of Yongzhou City, which can also be called Anding County and can be regarded as the third city under Yao Qiang's rule.

Strategic position is also crucial.

Here, of course, Yao Chang has to arrange for the person he trusts most to guard him, and currently, this person is Yao Chang's younger brother, Yao Shuode.

Seeing that the army arrived at the foot of Yongzhou City, Yao Chang, who was mentally exhausted all the way, suddenly became energetic.

There is no other reason, of course because he saw the hope of survival.

Yao Shuode.

This is someone you can count on.

Yongzhou City has always been a strong city and has strong military strength.

If they could maintain a stalemate with the Jin army here for a period of time, Yao Chang would have a chance of escaping.

When we got here, Yao Chang also saw it.

The young and vigorous Langya King did not intend to kill him. He probably wanted to take Yao Chang as Yao Qiang's number one trophy and take him back to Jiankang City to receive a reward.

So, this gave Yao Chang the opportunity to dream.

As long as he is still breathing, he will never give in easily. Even if he is captured, it doesn't matter. As long as he has the ability to escape, he will be able to make a comeback.

Of course, it seems very inappropriate for Yao Chang to have such an idea.

Because, he seemed to have forgotten that along the way, many counties and counties that originally belonged to Yao Chang were occupied by the Jin army. It seemed that they did not give Yao Chang any face and had no intention of rescuing him.

It's ridiculous that the dignified Commander Yao Qiang has gotten to this point.

It seems that after all, guns and cannons are hard power. In the face of absolute hard power, what if they are former subordinates?
Don't you just have to raise your hands and surrender obediently?

Rescue Yao Chang?

Don't be kidding, you don't have that ability at all.

However, others can't be relied on, but Yao Shuode can still be counted on.

He will not disregard family ties, nor will he watch his brother die!

Well, Yao Chang thinks so, and Wang Mi thinks so too.

It was noon again one day, and the Northern Expedition army finally arrived at the foot of Yongzhou City. The army opened up its formation. Needless to say, it was absolutely impressive.

Along the way, the Northern Expedition army fought and won consecutively, and all the cities they saw were taken under their command.

How can such an impressive record not be exciting?
Therefore, it can be said that the current Northern Expedition army is more powerful than when it just set off from Jiankang City.

The fighting power is stronger.

All we need is a practitioner!
However, with such a strong force in his hands, Wang Mi was not in a hurry to let the army launch an siege operation.

So what are you in a hurry to do?
The process now is quite fast, much faster than they had expected before. Now, when they arrive at Yongzhou City, they naturally have to calm down and take their time.

On Yongzhou City, Yao Shuode stood among the warriors with a solemn expression.

On the city tower, military flags with huge Yao characters written on them were placed on both sides of the city tower and turrets, dancing in the wind.However, the way it dances is confusing, as if it has no spirit.

Wiggly, drooping.

Wang Mi, who had just arrived at Yongzhou City, did not fully understand the situation here. In fact, they had been stationed outside Yongzhou City for three days, but they did not get close to the tower.

In ancient times, when large armies set out on expeditions, it was important to explore the route in advance. Due to inconvenient transportation, large armies often traveled long distances, and between the north and the south, they basically knew nothing about the geography and landforms of the other party.

Where to set up camp and where to set up an ambush are all things that need to be considered in advance, so a proper siege is necessary.

The same goes for Yao Shuode who is entrenched in the city. Of course he will not sit still and wait for death. As Yao Chang's biological brother, he sees the cities in front of him being captured by the Jin army one after another.

It's easy to imagine how capable the Jin army in front of them is.

As for the strength of the Qiang soldiers and whether they can withstand it, Yao Shuode also has an account in his heart, which is absolutely clear.

On the basis of the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, as the weaker party, going out of the city to gather information is an unavoidable step.

Wang Mi did not react to the various small moves made by Yao Qiang's troops. He accepted them happily and watched them if he wanted to.

Originally, the Jin army did not rely entirely on intelligence, but on traps to fight the war. It was purely a matter of strength.Just like now, the Jin army opened the door and allowed them to view these firearms at will, whether it is muskets or artillery, every one of them is included.

Check it out!

If you see it, what can you do?
Wouldn't you be able to learn how to use a firearm if you didn't do the same?Aren’t you still unable to imitate firearms?

This is the secret of Wang Mi's large-scale recruitment of troops, which is based on this time difference.

No matter what kind of weapon it is, as long as you have the ability to make it in this era, then it is reasonable to think that the other party can also make it.

However, all these operations require a process. For example, the production method can be produced as long as a few craftsmen of the Jin army are caught and copied in the same way.
As for those craftsmen, although they did not know the principles of these so-called methods, the enemy did not need to pursue these things.

All they want is a real weapon, and they don't care at all about how the weapon is made.

Those things are not practical, and what the brothers urgently need now is just practical things.

However, it takes a lot of time to learn these techniques and produce finished products, and it does not happen overnight.

So, taking advantage of this free time, Wang Mi led his army to the Northern Expedition, which was equivalent to cutting off the process of these tribes learning to make artillery and muskets.

You haven't learned yet, but I've already taken over the whole city. Where is the room for you to operate?

Now Wang Mi has already made all preparations and will not give these tribal leaders a chance.

Now, the task of the Northern Expedition army is to use the autumn wind to sweep down the fallen leaves, and quickly capture the cities in front of them.

As for Yao Shuode, he must be very familiar with the previous achievements of the Beifu soldiers, and he also knows the balance of his own troops very well.

The most important thing is that Yao Xing and Yao Chang are both more capable beings. They can't defeat the Northern Expeditionary Army. How about Yao Shuode?

is it possible?
Does he have this ability?
The dead Yao Xing was already Yao Qiang's number one general. If he couldn't do it, who else could?
Even if the soldiers under his command believed it, Yao Shuode himself couldn't believe it.

Therefore, it is understandable that he looks so gloomy now.

Even though his expression was a little unnatural, Wang Mi didn't need to think deeply about it. He had his own method regardless of whether he was good or bad.

Win the battle!
"With that, bring General Yao here!"

"Yes, the last general is in command."

Tan Pingzhi jumped off his horse, quickly walked through the neat queue, and soon reached the back of the queue.

Although the pace seems to be very fast, in fact, it only takes about a cup of tea.

This shows that the Northern Expedition army has sufficient strength.

Wang Mi always considers everything when doing things. Attacking Qinzhou City, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition will of course be attrition.

However, after Qinzhou City is captured, the strong young people in the city will be enough to join the army.This is also a standard form of ancient warfare. Many times, wars are fought to inject fresh blood.

Whether it is heads, weapons or armor, and of course the supplies of food and fodder that the troops urgently need, they can all be continuously supplied.

The purpose of attacking the next city is to be quickly replenished in all aspects.

It can be said that wars in ancient times were either a complete victory and then taking advantage of the opponent's remaining information, or a long-term stalemate. Such a battle was generally very costly for both sides. type.

It is very likely that even if they capture this city, it will end in a lose-lose outcome for both parties, with neither party taking much advantage.

However, this kind of thing will naturally not happen to Beifu soldiers. So far, with the current strength of Beifu, they can only fight and win.

Only to sweep the battlefield.

It is absolutely impossible to suffer a loss when attacking a city.

After a while, Tan Pingzhi finally returned to the front of the queue, and Yao Shuode, who had been standing on the tower observing the situation, could not help but shrink his pupils violently.

"General Yao, if you want to save your brother's life, you'd better open the city gate as soon as possible!"

"otherwise……"

"I can't guarantee what will happen!"

"Alright!"

"This is your biological brother!"

Next to Wang Mi was Yao Chang, who was escorted all the way by Tan Pingzhi. This person has now become a prisoner of the Jin army.

Originally, Wang Mi respected him. The conditions on the march were not good, but he did not suffer too much.

There is no way, who made him the only remaining general?

A Northern Expedition must bring a few decent prisoners. Yao Xing is out of luck and dead.

And the Xianbei tribe?

There are several important figures who can be used as hostages to the imperial court. But the problem is that Murong Chui and his gang obviously have a very strong will to fight and have relatively high self-esteem.

Although there has not yet been a real fight, Wang Mi has already predicted that if there is a war, Murong Chui will not survive even if he loses.

As for Murong Chong, he only had a good skin, but he was terrible at fighting. No one cared about his military exploits at all.

As a prisoner presented to the imperial court, the weight is still a little light.

Therefore, Yao Chang could only keep it for now.

If more important prisoners can be captured after this, then Yao Chang will no longer be important.But now, before all this succeeds, all he can do is hold his nose and wait for Yao Chang.

However, now, Yao Chang's role is about to change.

Tan Pingzhi is not the kind of person who cares about women. Besides, Yao Chang is so old and depressed that there is no possibility for him to get in touch with Lao Tan.

Wang Mi gave an order, and Tan Pingzhi took the long knife and put it on Yao Chang's neck.

"Life or death, it all depends on your word!"

"Ade, open the city gate!"

"The Jin army is extremely brave. Our army is invincible. Don't resist stubbornly!"

Pulling Yao Chang to call the door was Wang Mi's inspiration from the emperor who called the door. Although the Qiang people are not as honorable as the people of the Ming Dynasty, in general, they still have to be a little scrupulous about their own brothers.

The best strategy is to defeat an enemy's army without fighting.

In fact, it is not impossible to fight, and you can definitely win. However, Wang Mi has always liked different challenges.

Since we now have spare power and the scale of Yongzhou City is not that big and the military strength is not that sufficient, we might as well try a new method.

If the city gate could be knocked open directly and Yao Shuode could surrender directly, it would be a good thing for both parties.

For the generals who surrendered, the Jin army treated them very well. Not only would they not kill the donkeys, but they would also generally give them better positions.

Both the officers and soldiers in the city, as well as the people, can be preserved. The battle has reached this point, and the situation facing the Qiang soldiers has become very clear.

He couldn't defeat him again and again. As for the Jin army, his wishes were very simple. What kind of noble person was Yao Chang?

His life was not that important to the Jin army, and the Jin army would not deliberately take his life.

Using Yao Chang's life as a condition also gave Yao Shuode a chance.

Give him a chance to make a choice.

Some people, even their own brothers have spoken, why don’t you quickly open the city gate and do some good things to understand the current affairs?
This Yao Chang is also strange.

Not long ago, when fighting on the battlefield, he was a fierce general, slashing left and right without any ambiguity.

I didn't see that he was afraid of death.

However, now that he was out of the battlefield situation, Yao Chang suddenly became cherished for his life. He didn't know if he was scared to death because he stared like a tiger descending from the mountain.

There was no struggle at all, and he didn't even ask Yao Shuode to resist. Instead, he started persuading him directly.

Not to mention, the language organization is pretty good and does not need correction by Wang Mi.

"Brother, how can you say that?"

"Aren't you asking me to surrender?"

Huh?
Yao Shuode's reaction is very strange!

Wang Mi rode his war horse and took a few steps forward in order to see Yao Shuode's face more clearly.

"Jinnu, look, is Yao Shuode a little weird? We haven't attacked the city yet, why is he sweating so much?"

After Wang Mi reminded him, Liu Yu also set his sights on Yao Shuode.

Only then did I realize that he was sweating profusely. He was shivering like a leaf falling in the wind.

"Your Majesty, it seems to me that the guards around Yao Shuode are also very strange. It seems... it seems that they are too indifferent."

As the defender of Yongzhou City, Yao Shuode climbed up the tower to face the battle, and it was impossible to have no one around him.

Naturally, many guards must be placed.

However, in the face of such strange things as the general being captured and calling for help, the performance of these guards could only be described as calm.

All of them had livid faces, as if they were indifferent to the trapped coach in front of them.

"Not right."

"It's really not right."

Wang Mi hadn't seen any clues yet, but Yao Chang, who was being held hostage by Tan Pingzhi on the other side, was already on the verge of collapse.
