Xiangyang City, General's Mansion.

At this time, Xiangyang City has become a temporary power center because the emperor is here and it is also the food and grass hub of the army ahead.

Seeing Zhang Tian recapture Tangzhou City without bloodshed, Emperor Anyou and Shi Shangshu and others were very surprised.

They thought that with Zhang Tian's help, attacking cities and plundering lands would be a piece of cake.

But they didn't expect that Zhang Tian would just fly to the top of the city and take a major town.

And it was not a simple capture, it was simply a city of believers. The enthusiasm of the people was second only to Xiangyang.

Hearing that Zhang Tian was going to attack other cities, many people in the city spontaneously brought dry food and weapons, wanting to follow the immortal to fight.

Zhang Tian made a brief statistics through satellites, and there were about tens of thousands of people.

It was fine for some strong men to want to join the army, but there were many aunts and aunts who also carried "weapons" such as hoes and kitchen knives, carried incense with them, and clamored to follow the immortal.

Zhang Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to call General Guo to solve the problem.

General Guo thought for a while and said, "Shangxian, this northern expedition requires a lot of food and logistics support."

"If we transfer them all from the south, the journey will be long and the loss will be serious on the way."

"Why not select some strong men and put them into the logistics department to transport food and grass, which can greatly reduce the burden on the rear."

Zhang Tian said, "If you think it's okay, it's fine."

General Guo smiled and said, "The people of Tangzhou all came because of Shangxian. I have to ask Shangxian to come forward to encourage them."

Zhang Tian said, "In this case, I will give three solar lamps to those who contribute the most."

"This lamp can absorb the essence of the sun, is extremely bright, and can replace oil lamps."

These "sun lamps" are actually a solar panel plus batteries and LED lamp beads, with an extremely simple structure.

Since they are not key parts like sealing cotton and high-energy batteries, it doesn't matter if they are used up.

General Guo suddenly became uneasy and said, "Ahem... Immortal, I have also been using oil lamps for many years, and my eyes are very dim..."

"Hahahaha..." Zhang Tian laughed and scolded, "How did you learn Niu Er's tricks? Then I will leave one set for you."

"Thank you, Immortal." General Guo was overjoyed.

"However, when the solar lamps are awarded, one set must be distributed to ordinary people, and it cannot fall into the hands of the rich."

General Guo nodded, "I understand."

Such news must naturally be announced by Xu Wen, the direct disciple.

As soon as the news came out, the whole Tangzhou City was boiling, and quickly accepted the reorganization of the Xiangyang Army.

They were afraid that they would fall behind and the logistics army would be full of people, and they would all miss the immortal's treasure.

As for those local tyrants, they were originally "donated" by Qin Changshi once.

But that time there was only a list for Zhang Tian and General Guo to look at, so naturally they did not "donate" much.

Now that they heard that there was actually an immortal treasure given, they were more active.

I wish I could spend all my family's wealth just to fight for that set of "fairy lights".

After the Tangzhou incident was resolved, the army headed east.

Within two days, they arrived in front of a solid city, which was Caizhou.

Several major cities near Xiangyang, such as Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Caizhou, and Yingzhou, were almost lined up.

Since it was the bridgehead for the northern Tianjin Kingdom to move south, it was also a line of defense to prevent the An Dynasty from moving north.

Therefore, if you want to move north, you must pull out these nails.

Otherwise, if you are cut off from behind and the grain road is intercepted, the army will be in danger.

More than 100,000 troops from Xiangyang pressed down to the city of Caizhou.

There was a big "Zhang" character on the flag fluttering above.

Zhang Tian searched for information about Caizhou in the database and found that Caizhou and the garrison commander surnamed Zhang actually had a connection.

If history had not changed because of the "Emperor Star".

The original Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongol-Song coalition in Caizhou City.

Jin Aizong Wanyan Shouxu and Jin Modi Wanyan Chenglin of the Jin Dynasty both died in Caizhou City, and the Jin Dynasty perished here.

Although the Jin Dynasty perished, their emperors were much more courageous than the original Song Dynasty emperors.

Jin Aizong hanged himself to save the country, and Jin Modi died in battle.

After the fall of Caizhou City, the Southern Song interrogated the captured Jin official Zhang Tiangang and scolded him: "How dare you come here?"

Zhang Tiangang said: "The rise and fall of a country has happened in every dynasty. How is the demise of our Jin Dynasty compared to the two emperors?"

Many people scolded Zhang Tiangang for being a Han Chinese, but serving the Jin Dynasty with loyalty, and naturally despised him.

But at that time, it had been two or three hundred years since the Song Dynasty gave up the north.

How could it be possible to expect a family that had been separated from the Song Dynasty for two or three hundred years to recognize the Song Dynasty?

Moreover, the Song Dynasty had many more cases of betraying the loyal ministers and generals of the Han people.

Whether it was at that time or in later generations, everyone would grit their teeth when they think of it.

They pity their misfortune and are angry at their lack of resistance.

Now Zhang Tian saw the defenders of the city.The general's surname is Zhang, and I don't know if he has any connection with the unborn "Zhang Tiangang"?

As usual, General Guo sent someone to challenge him.

"Listen, people of Caizhou, now that the immortal has come, why don't you surrender?"

The reply on the city wall: "If you want to fight, then fight, don't talk nonsense."

The two sides cursed for a while, testing each other's attitude.

General Guo frowned slightly and said: "Immortal, the defender of Caizhou City is called Zhang Zhencong, also a Han Chinese."

"But look at the morale, it's so solemn, I'm afraid they have no intention of surrendering."

Zhang Tian said: "Since you are not prepared to surrender, then fight."

"Okay!"

General Guo didn't say anything more, and immediately beat the drum to prepare for the siege.

Now that he was attacking a powerful dynasty, General Guo knew that he couldn't expect Zhang Tian to fly around every city and let them surrender.

Some tough battles had to be fought.

With the sound of "dong dong dong dong" drums

The Xiangyang army first sent out 10,000 infantrymen, holding shields and marching forward in unison.

When they were forced into a place where an arrow could reach, a large number of archers suddenly stood up on the city wall.

"Shoot!"

"Bang!"

With a command, thousands of arrows were shot out at the same time, turning into a rain of arrows.

"Raise the shields!"

"Hoo!"

Thousands of shields were raised immediately, one facing forward and the other facing upward, protecting all the soldiers.

Countless sharp arrows shot at the shields with a "swoosh" sound of breaking through the air, making a "plop" sound of hitting the wood.

Some arrows were shot at a large angle, flying into the Xiangyang infantry formation, and when they fell, they were almost at a right angle.

However, General Guo had been through hundreds of battles and was extremely experienced, and he had obviously expected it long ago.

The shield defense formation blocked almost all angles.

Except for a few unlucky guys who exposed their butts, the entire army was almost unaffected.

After the rain of arrows passed, the Xiangyang vanguard army slightly put away their shields and continued to press forward.

"Shoot again!"

A second wave of arrows was shot down from the city wall, but it had little effect.

But they had to shoot again.

Even though they knew they were powerless, they still had to do what they had to do.

After three waves of arrows, the infantry had already pressed close to the city wall and began to fight back with bows and arrows.

From time to time, they shot some Caizhou defenders off the wall.

It was just a low-shooting high-shooting, and the Caizhou defenders were protected by the city wall, so they could only have some suppression effects, but the number of casualties was not large.

However, the Xiangyang army did not expect to break a city by relying on the reflection of bows and arrows.

With the counterattack of the archers, they began to attach equipment such as ladders and flying bridges to the city wall.

Suddenly, the Caizhou defenders were very nervous.

Quickly, soldiers rushed to the ladders and wanted to push them down.
