I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 687: Conquering Jianzhou City

But after only the first round of contact between the two sides, the Qing army generals realized that they were wrong, and very wrong.

The hundreds of cavalrymen on the opposite side seemed to be selected at random, but they must be the elite among the elite in the army.

They would never believe it, and dared not believe that the densely packed soldiers on the opposite side were such top-notch elite troops.

Soon, in less than an incense stick of time, the two thousand Qing soldiers were slaughtered by Hou Junji and a team of several hundred Tang cavalrymen he had casually assembled.

Yes, this is not even a war, it's just a one-sided massacre.

By the time Hou Junji came to report to Li Zheng, more than half of the Tang Dynasty's 500,000 soldiers had already arrived in the Lu Ding world through the world portal.

After receiving Hou Junji's report, Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Oh, Your Majesty, I just captured a few captives and learned from them that this city is called Jianzhou City."

Li Zheng was a little surprised when he heard this.

He didn't expect that the system would directly bring the world portal to the lair of these Tartars.

"Your Majesty, we learned from the captives that there are about 200,000 elite Eight Banner soldiers stationed near Jianzhou City."

Hearing the number from Hou Junji's mouth, Li Zheng began to think in his heart.

Although 200,000 people are not a large number, they are the most elite Eight Banners of the Jiannu. Although Li Zheng is confident that he can mobilize 100,000 troops to defeat these 200,000 Eight Banners of the Jiannu, it is estimated that the 100,000 Tang soldiers will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

But this is Li Zheng, which the Tang Dynasty cannot accept.

After all, the Tang Dynasty had just arrived, and the life of every soldier was extremely precious.

At this time, Hou Junji saw Li Zheng fell into deep thought, and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, is this Eight Banners Army very strong?"

His doubts were justified. Having just experienced a one-sided massacre, Hou Junji had gained a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in this alien world.

"This Eight Banners Army is the elite force of the Tartars who rule this alien world. They are definitely stronger than those guys just now."

Li Zheng explained the doubts to Hou Junji.

After saying this, he continued speaking without waiting for Hou Junji to continue asking questions.

"Pass the order down and accept Jianzhou City as soon as possible."

Li Zheng's idea was very simple. He would first occupy a basic foothold. Li Zheng had communicated with the system about this world portal. Although it could be put away, Li Zheng felt it was a bit troublesome, and he would not be able to stay in Jianzhou City forever.

Therefore, Li Zheng planned to leave the portal connecting the two worlds in Jianzhou City, so that it would be more convenient for the Tang Dynasty to mobilize troops or supplies later.

Li Zheng thought that it was in this Jianzhou city that Jiang Lu and his people used it as a starting point to steal the land of China, and he would also use this Jianzhou city as a starting point to overthrow these Tartars step by step.

This may be the so-called cause and effect.

After receiving Li Zheng's order, Hou Junji bowed to Li Zheng and turned around to arrange the occupation of Jianzhou.

Jianzhou City was built after Lan Yu killed two thousand Qing soldiers.

There was almost no resistance in the city.

Now that the world is at peace, there are only two thousand Qing soldiers living in Jianzhou City, under the command of the prefect who was just killed by Li Zheng.

Although there were still 200,000 elite Tatar Eight Banners troops outside Jianzhou City, distant water cannot quench nearby fire. After all, no one would have thought that one day the enemy would appear from Jianzhou City.

After receiving Li Zheng's order, Hou Junji, Li Kan and others immediately led people to take control of the four gates of Jianzhou City in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

As the gates of Jianzhou were closed, the Eight Banners Army of the Jiannu outside the city immediately noticed something was wrong.

Inside the city, Li Kan came to Li Zheng after the Tang soldiers took control of the city gates. "Your Majesty, Jianzhou City is now basically under the control of the Tang Dynasty, but Your Majesty, Hou Junji and I have a disagreement on how to treat the people in the city."

Li Zheng heard this and asked with some interest.

"Oh, what disagreement?"

"Your Majesty, Chief Hou Junji has driven all the people out of the city and turned the city's supplies and houses into supplies for our army."

Li Zheng understood something after hearing this.

Hou Junji was a good fighter, but his methods were brutal.

"For the time being, don't worry about the people in the city. I estimate that once the gates of Jianzhou City are closed, the Eight Banners troops stationed outside the city will definitely notice the changes in the city."

Li Zheng paused and continued.

"But they certainly can't guess where the enemy came from at the moment, so they will definitely test us first. Our main focus next is to deal with the Tartars' test. We will discuss the matters in the city later."

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

"Well, the city wants to implement control and tell the people in the city to stay at home and not move around. If anyone runs around, they will be killed without mercy."

Li Kan took the order and left.

As Li Zheng had expected, the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty outside the city sent out an army of more than a thousand people to test the situation.

The Eight Banners Army outside the city were also very confused as the gates of Jianzhou City were closed for no reason.

Their first reaction was that the prefect of Jianzhou City had rebelled, but then they thought that was not right. There were only two thousand soldiers in the city. No matter how stupid the prefect of Jianzhou City was, he would not rebel against the Qing Dynasty with only two thousand soldiers.

But the Eight Banners Army was stationed all around, and there was no possibility that any other force could slip under their noses.

So they only sent more than a thousand troops to Jianzhou City to test it.

The commander of the Eight Banners Army thought that no matter what happened in the city, it could be pacified with more than a thousand elite troops of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the top leaders of the Eight Banners Army did not take it seriously.

More than a thousand soldiers came to Jianzhou city in a mighty manner. They felt helpless facing this city.

At this time, Li Zheng was standing on the inner city wall of Jianzhou City and received the report from Li Kan.

After thinking for a moment, Li Zheng said to Li Kan.

"Put them in Jianzhou City and catch them in a trap."

Li Zheng cleverly took advantage of the asymmetry in intelligence between the two sides. The Eight Banners Army did not believe that there would be a force in the city that could defeat their thousand-man army.

Even if those two thousand soldiers really rebelled, they would not take it to heart and would not be afraid at all.

In this way, under Li Zheng's instructions, the east gate of Jianzhou City was opened quietly.

The more than a thousand Eight Banners soldiers opened the East Gate, just as Li Zheng had expected. More than a thousand soldiers walked into the East Gate, which was like a huge mouth, with confidence.

"boom"

After the more than a thousand Eight Banners soldiers entered Jianzhou City, there was suddenly a loud noise behind them. The more than a thousand Eight Banners soldiers looked behind them and saw that the city gate had closed automatically.

The leader of the more than a thousand Eight Banners Army was a handsome young man. Seeing this situation, he felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"Who is playing tricks? Get out here now."

It seems that the handsome young man is also arrogant and domineering in his daily life. He calls himself "the boss" and is very unruly.
