I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

A few days later.

Outside Yunzhou City, flags were flying and drums were beating loudly.

Chang Yuchun, deputy marshal of Longcheng soldiers and horses and general of Zhengnan, wearing Mingguang armor and a sword on his waist, stood proudly on horseback outside Yunzhou City.

Behind him, the army of Dragon City marching out in full force to conquer the south. Even the heavy supplies and auxiliary soldiers were issued with weapons and joined the army in attacking the city.

Today, Chang Yuchun is about to launch a general attack on Yunzhou City, which has been under siege for several days and the morale of the defenders in the city has dropped to freezing point. He vows to seize the city in one fell swoop and is determined to win it.

Jin King Chen Huaian, who was facing the Turkic enemy forces in Longguan, a territory far away in Shuobei, had already dispatched eight hundred miles to urgently order Chang Yuchun to attack the city quickly.

Capture Yunzhou, kill the enemy's general, and completely destroy the enemy's morale.

In fact, it was Chen Huaian who hoped that Chang Yuchun would capture Yunzhou City as soon as possible and use his accumulated system points to redeem troops and weapons to attack Shuobei City.

Ever since Liang Erhu, the former leader of the Yunhui Army, had forgotten his ancestors, surrendered to the enemy and rebelled against the Turkic barbarians, and had joined forces and refused to leave the city to fight, Chen Huaian and the Longcheng Northern Expedition army had lost their strength and tactical advantages, let alone being able to defeat them individually.

Neither the Dragon City Iron Buddha Tu, nor the Black Armor Army, nor the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are good at siege warfare.

Using cavalry to attack a city is purely a matter of attacking mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns - a thankless effort.

Chen Huaian would not be stupid enough to use the tens of thousands of remaining infantry to attack a city garrisoned by 200,000 enemy troops.

Therefore, we can only set up camp in Panlong Pass to prevent the Turkic barbarian cavalry from going south to harm the people.

They only waited for the southern expedition army led by Chang Yuchun to break through Yunzhou and annihilate the Yunhui army defending the city, and then summon elite infantry to attack Shuobei City.

Different from the situation in which the Longcheng Northern Expedition Army was confronting the Turkic enemies, the Longcheng Southern Expedition Army led by Chang Yuchun never stopped siege operations during this period. The tall and solid walls of Yunzhou City were all destroyed by Longcheng. The catapults of the army conquering the south of the city were smashed into pieces.

They even had a head-to-head fight with the city defenders led by Yunhui Army General Wu Qingyun outside Yunzhou City, face to face with gongs and drums.

It was that tough battle that brought the morale of the Yunzhou defenders to a freezing point in one fell swoop, and even defeated the general Wu Qingyun again.

At this moment, Wu Qingyun, the commander-in-chief of the Yunhui Army, was also "sitting" on top of the Qingyuan Gate (North Gate) tower of Yunzhou City to command.

He was sitting in a wheelchair, holding down the soldiers guarding the city, and was not allowed to lay down their weapons and surrender.

Because a few days ago, Wu Qingyun tried to reverse the situation of the war and awaken the morale of the defenders, so he personally led an army of 50,000 people out of the city to charge into the formation, hoping to give Chang Yuchun, who was besieging the city, a showdown.

The result was that Wu Qingyun, who was aging prematurely under successive blows, was easily defeated by Chang Yuchun, the young and powerful Ming Dynasty's number one general.

His legs were accidentally trampled by a war horse, causing his ankle bones to shatter, and he could only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

"General, the bandits are attacking the city again!"

At this time, the commander of the soldiers who stayed beside Wu Qingyun looked at the dark army outside the city, and continued with a solemn expression:

"General, the rebel army's siege battle today is far better than in the past. It seems that they plan to use all the strength of the army to attack Yunzhou City!"

Wu Qingyun, who was sitting in a wheelchair, closed his eyes tightly and said nothing.

The commander of the soldiers said again: "General, most of the rebel troops are currently concentrated at Qingyuan Gate, and the rebel troops are weak in the Anding Gate (South Gate) area."

"General, it's still too late to abandon the city and break out of the siege. Once the rebels start to attack the city, it won't be that easy to break out of the siege——"

Before the soldier commander could finish speaking, he felt a cold light flash before his eyes, and he lost consciousness. A head flew several meters away, leaving only a headless corpse that stumbled to the ground.

"General, calm down!"

The next second, dozens of soldiers gathered around Wu Qingyun knelt down and shouted in unison to the general to calm down.

Only then did Wu Qingyun suddenly open his eyes, his copper-bell eyes that had been sunken into the sockets for a long time looked around at the soldiers in front of him with a fierce look.

Then, he slowly raised the sword that he had just beheaded the commander of the soldiers in his hand, and said word by word: "The war is imminent. Anyone who disrupts the morale of our army will be killed -"

"Those who are cowardly and afraid of fighting will be killed——"

"Anyone who surrenders to the traitor army will be beheaded——"

"Cut, chop, chop——"

For a moment, the crazy, incompetent, and irrational roars of General Wu Qingyun echoed everywhere on the walls of Yunzhou City.

Under the city, in front of the Dragon City's southern army.

General Chang Yuchun slowly drew out his saber. The cold blade, which had already killed a hundred people in just a few days, pointed directly at the top of Yunzhou City and gave the order: "Attack the city!"

"Siege the city!"

"Siege the city!"

"Siege the city!"

Hundreds of soldiers roared in unison, spreading the siege order issued by the general to the three armies, and the sound of beating drums immediately sounded.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired from Longcheng's southern army formation, and the arrows filled the sky like a sudden rain, hitting the already dilapidated Yunzhou city wall.

The rain of arrows was also mixed with super arrows fired by ballistas and stone bullets thrown by catapults, raining down on the Yunzhou city wall.

Under the cover of the crossbowmen, the baggage troops and auxiliary troops took the lead in carrying siege equipment and marched towards Yunzhou City, setting up flying bridges one after another on the wide moat.

Immediately afterwards, countless auxiliary soldiers carrying ladders crossed the flying bridge and the suspension bridge whose cables had been cut off long ago, and put the ladders on the walls of Yunzhou City from all directions.

Then, the soldiers pushing the carts crossed the suspension bridge and destroyed the female wall and city wall of Yunzhou City.

Next, soldiers pushing siege vehicles and carrying siege rams also crossed the suspension bridge one after another and charged at the two heavy solid wood gates of Yunzhou City.

Finally, the 20,000 elite infantrymen commanded by Chang Yuchun personally, all wearing armor, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, climbed up the ladder without hesitation and climbed up the tower.

"Prepare for war!"

"Prepare for war!"

"Prepare for war!"

Above the walls of Yunzhou City, the desperate shouts of the generals of the Yunhui Army defending the city were everywhere.

The soldiers guarding the city who had lost all morale for a long time, with empty eyes on their numb faces, were like walking corpses. They mechanically repeatedly picked up the rolling stones, hammers, and all available equipment around them and smashed them down the city.

There are also archers guarding the city hiding in the crenellations of the city wall, risking being shot into hedgehogs by the arrows of the siege army. From time to time, they would lean out half of their bodies to draw arrows and aim at the siege soldiers below the city to kill them.

The offensive and defensive sides fought each other on the several-mile-long city wall. Every second, fresh lives were ruthlessly harvested. People kept falling and others were constantly added.

The commander-in-chief Wu Qingyun, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had long lost the arrogant and domineering expression he had in the past. His extremely ugly face was completely drained of blood, as if he was about to die.

At this moment, Wu Qingyun was like an indifferent bystander, looking at the arrows flying across the sky with half-squinted eyes, turning a deaf ear to the shouts of death that resounded in the sky, and recalling bits and pieces of the past like a revolving door in his mind.

"Report——"

"General, it's bad, Yongtai Gate (West Gate) has been lost, and General Wu Huaiyu died in battle!"

"Report——"

"General, Wuding Gate (East Gate) has been lost, and the commander-in-chief Chen Kejian died in battle!"

"Report——"

"General, Anding Gate (South Gate) has been lost, and General Luo Wenlong is seriously injured!"

I don't know how much time passed, and he was smiling from his wheelchair as he watched the two armies fighting in front of the formation. From the ears of Wu Qingyun, the leader of the Yunhui Army who remained unmoved, he suddenly heard the sounds of city gates falling one after another.

The scenes in his mind that were reminiscing about the past happened to overlap with the tragic battle to defend Yunzhou City at this time.

Suddenly, Wu Qingyun in the wheelchair shivered and woke up instantly.

The ugly cheek that was originally bloodless suddenly turned red, and two rays of light suddenly shot out of a pair of turbid copper bell eyes.

In an instant, Wu Qingyun, who was dying, seemed to have suddenly reverted back to his youth, turning into the arrogant and feared northwest general of the new dynasty, the mighty General Wu Qingyun.

The next moment, he miraculously stood up from the wheelchair, picked up the sword in his hand that had been with him for many years, and moved forward.

Behind him, more than a hundred soldiers who were personally guarding Wu Qingyun looked in disbelief at the fact that the general, who had been declared paralyzed by the military medical officer, was actually holding a knife and killing the rebels who had climbed up the tower like a normal person.

After a brief moment of daze, the soldiers seemed to have been given a shot of blood. They followed the general's footsteps and rushed towards the bandits who had entered the city with their knives in hand.

Almost at the same time, Chang Yuchun, the most powerful general of the Ming Dynasty, who killed the Yunhui soldiers guarding the city with their heads rolling, also carried a sword and fought all the way from the south gate to the north gate, and happened to face Wu Qingyun head on.

"I am the Northwest Commander-in-Chief of the Great New Dynasty, the Great General Huwei personally appointed by the late Emperor!"

"You traitors have raised an army to rebel. You are so determined that you will die quickly!"

As Wu Qingyun walked, he shouted as if there was no one around.

Wherever he passed, countless Yunhui soldiers were shocked.

Seeing this, Chang Yuchun was also stunned, but he quickly reacted.

Hahaha!

Chang Yuchun Hengdao immediately blocked the way and laughed wildly at Wu Qingyun.

After laughing, he shouted sternly: "Wu Qingyun, it takes a long time for you to shine again this time. Stop struggling and risk your life!"

As he said that, Chang Yuchun slashed with his sword.

However, Wu Qingyun did not give him a chance to seize the flag and kill the general in front of the battle. Before Chang Yuchun's blade fell, he fell straight down from the tower.

boom!

With a loud bang, Wu Qingyun, the once arrogant northwest commander of the Great New Dynasty, the mighty general, ended his sinful life in a way that was reasonable but unexpected. .

The general fell to his death, and the last vestige of faith of the Yunhui soldiers guarding the city collapsed.

Soon, countless people knelt down and surrendered on the huge wall of Yunzhou City.

Chang Yuchun climbed to the top of the city, raised his hand and wielded his sword to cut off the Yunhui Army's banner stuck on the city wall.

Afterwards, he took the battle flag of the Dragon City Conquest South Army from the hands of the accompanying soldiers and placed it on the top of Yunzhou City with domineering force.

As the king's flag changed at the top of the city, the Battle of Yunzhou, which lasted for half a month, finally came to an end with the overall victory of Longcheng's southern army.

...

At the same time, Jin King Chen Huaian, who was far away in the northern expedition camp of Panlongguan Dragon City in Shuobei, heard the cold mechanical synthesized sound of the system in his mind again.

【Ding! 】

[Dear host Chen Huaian, you have a new system point reward that has arrived, please pay attention to check it! 】

The next moment, Chen Huaian's mouth curled up slightly, and he was overjoyed.

Timur, the time has come for you and the Turkic barbarians under your command whose hands are stained with the blood of our border people!
