Chapter 863 Li Zhi’s methods!
"The king has entrusted you with 4000 people from the Chashan Army. Your mission is to attract the main force of the rebels in Jingzhou and prevent the rebels from coming to invade. Can you do it?" Li Yue asked.

The four thousand Chashan Army can barely be considered elite, but there are only eight hundred cavalry, and the remaining three thousand two hundred people are all infantry and archers.

There are at least more than 1 rebels in Jingzhou, and there are thousands in Xiazhou.

It is not easy to fight more with less.

But he didn't even think about it, "I can do my humble job!"

"Okay!" Li Yue nodded. As long as he can pass through Jingzhou smoothly, he will reach Xiangzhou.

Pei Xing said: "Your Highness, the news that Jianli was attacked must have reached Xiazhou at this time, so I will lead the Chashan Army to Jingzhou.

Your Highness might as well set off a few hours later than Beizi, and wait for Beizi to make the momentum bigger. It would be better if He could give Beizi some grenades.

It will definitely make them think that their humble position is their main force! "

Li Yue said: "I will give you [-] grenades, use them well!"

Forty thousand grenades, spread evenly over the four thousand Chashan Army, is really not much.

These four thousand Chashan Army are not elite. Jingzhou has been run by Cui Bolin for many years, leaving many people behind.

Don't think that Cui Bolin is a fool after being captured by Yuchi Nobuxiong.

Without the Thunder Army, it would have been impossible to capture Ruyang without an army of [-] to [-] men, who would have besieged the city for more than ten days and suffered thousands of casualties.

It can only be said that the emergence of the Thunder Army has changed the pattern of war.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Pei Xing bowed his hand and hurriedly left with the Chashan Army.

It was not until late at night that Li Yue quietly left Rongcheng with his army.

At this time, Xiangzhou.

Li Zhi arrived with his army.

Outside Xiangzhou City is a wide moat.

The widest point is about 200 meters.

Xiangyang has always been said to be the most important town.

Some people say that taking Xiangzhou is equivalent to having the foundation for a great cause.

"Your Highness, I think it is not a wise move to attack Xiangzhou now." The staff said: "If you want to capture Xiangzhou, it will take more than a day. Even with a grenade, it will be difficult to blow open the city gate!"

"Who said that I am going to attack Xiangzhou!" Li Zhi said with a smile: "It's just a feint attack. If you don't do it, how can you hide it from the people inside?

When night fell, the main force of the army continued to Jinzhou. "

The staff member was stunned, "Didn't you mean going north?"

"The journey north is all important towns and dangerous passes. Aren't you looking for death if you go there? The reason why I, the king, went all the way north is just to show off and deceive them.

Deceive all their troops to come to Xiangzhou and leave cannon fodder for them to delay.

By the time they reacted, the army had already captured Jinzhou and advanced into the pass.

At that time, even if they came back for help, it would be too late.

Because this king has already captured the capital and killed all the royal family, they have no choice! "

The staff of the twelve clans in the south of the Yangtze River were secretly frightened.

This move was so cruel that it actually deceived everyone.

"What about Dou Jianming?"

"Dou Jianming is arrogant. You can take advantage of it first. When the time comes, someone will clean up for me. Don't worry!" Li Zhi said.

Everyone nodded.

At this time, Wang Hong, the general manager of Xiangzhou, stood on the city wall, watching the hundreds of boats approaching, his eyes full of caution.

These thieves and rebels, in the name of the King of Thailand, are using the banner of restoring justice and tracing back to their roots. They are simply crazy.

Your Majesty buried the King of Thailand in a royal mausoleum with a state funeral. Where did the King of Thailand come from?

"Manager, all supplies are ready!"

"Use stone cannons to smash these bastards to death!"

Wang Hong gave an order, and dozens of catapults filled with stones were ejected from the city wall.

The stones were scattered, some fell into the water, and some hit the boat, causing a big hole in the boat.

The unlucky ones will be stoned to death!
"Hurry up, speed up the rowing!" Hundreds of small boats rowed towards the bottom of Xiangzhou City.

It doesn't matter if there aren't enough boats.

Li Zhi asked people to tie up bamboo rafts and connect them into one piece.

Just pretend to be attacking the city.

Even if these cannon fodders were all dead, he didn't care.

Instead, I drank tea leisurely in the camp.

If he is lucky enough to win Xiangzhou, it means that his destiny is his and it is his right to sit in this world.

"Your Highness, we have already reached the city!"

"Your Highness, Xiangzhou City is too high and cannot be captured at all!"

"Your Highness."

Until dark, these cannon fodder killed 3 to [-] people.

But under Xiangzhou City, corpses were piled up layer after layer.

Some were stabbed to death by arrows, some were stoned to death, and some fell while climbing to attack the city.

The worst thing is to be burned to death by fierce fire oil.

The air was filled with the smell of blood and burnt corpses.

woohoo~
Ming Jin's voice came from the other side of the moat.

The enemy faded away like a tide.

Wang Hong was also exhausted, but when he saw the enemy retreating, he was also excited, and cheers from the crowd rang out on the city wall.

Wang Hong did not dare to delay and said: "They will continue to attack the city tonight. It is easier to defend during the day, but it will not be easy at night.

Let people bury the pot to make rice quickly, and change a group of people to come up at night. Those who participated in the battle during the day will rest after eating. There is still a fierce battle to be fought at night! "

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, smoke curled up in Xiangzhou City.

Wang Hong used his meal time to ask people to count the casualties. Although it was defensive, more than 500 people died and a thousand were injured.

Too many people.

No one expected that hundreds of thousands of rebels would appear in peaceful times.

Xiangzhou is the administrative seat of Shannan Road. It has only 30 defenders and a population of nearly [-]. It is the largest city in Shannan Road.

I hope reinforcements will come soon, otherwise, at this rate, it will be a matter of time before they are breached.

Just as I was thinking about it, someone came to report again: "General Manager, they have begun to attack the city again!"

Wang Hong quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and hurried up the city wall. He saw more bamboo rafts approaching than during the day!

His scalp felt numb, "Quickly, recruit all the strong men in the city to carry the materials to defend the city. Tonight, no matter what, we must defend it!"

He slammed his fist on the battlement.

It was getting dark, but the lights on the city wall were brightly lit.

You can see that on the moat, densely packed torches illuminate the moat.

What Wang Hong didn't know was that in the night, the enemy army took advantage of the moonlight and marched towards Fangzhou without lighting torches.

When the sky gradually turned white, Wang Hong saw the dawn of victory.

woohoo~
The enemy attacked for a whole night before retreating!

More than 2 troops, plus [-] civilians temporarily recruited, can only hold it.

Everyone was exhausted. The hands of the peasants were bruised and bruised from carrying the ten pieces.

Wang Hong licked his chapped lips, "The generals rested on the spot, buried pots to make rice, counted the casualties, and cleaned the corpses on the city wall.

Continue to move the city defense supplies! "

As soon as he finished speaking, tens of thousands of people leaned against the wall and fell asleep, regardless of whether the ground was dirty or whether there were corpses.

For a moment, the snoring was loud, like thunder!
