The garrison of Kuaizhou City was Chen Wei, the king of Mingxian of Yue Kingdom. Chen Wei climbed into the city to look at the Yuan army and saw Li Luo, the commander under the flag, at a glance.

Li Luo was wearing white armor and riding a white big-food BMW, which was extremely eye-catching. Mongolia was still white, but according to the customs of the Mongolian army, only generals who were granted Badu would be rewarded with white armor. This was also the origin of the Qing Dynasty's "placing armors" in later generations.

Chen Wei wanted to shoot Li Luo with a bed crossbow, but the two sides were at least a hundred feet apart, so the bed crossbow could not be shot at all.

Li Luo looked up at the top of the city and faintly found a general wearing gorgeous armor. According to the information, it should be that King Mingxian Chen Wei.

As a military center, Kuaizhou was originally under the charge of King Zhaowen Chen Riyi. But now Chen Riyi has become a firefighter. After defeating the Zhanpo army, he rushed to resist Niu Human and temporarily handed over Kuaizhou military affairs to his cousin Chen Wei.

Kuaizhou had previously stationed for 40,000 imperial guards, and Chen Riyi took away 30,000, but there were only 10,000 people left. Later, 40,000 troops were temporarily added, making the defenders as high as 50,000.

The Vietnamese army was good at defending the city. The 50,000 army guarded the city of Kuaizhou with high walls and strong cities, which was said to be safe. However, Chen Wei was very worried.

Because the Yuan army's siege ability was even stronger.

So Chen Riyi was very worried and ordered Chen Wei to be strictly guarded and persisted until he defeated Xiliao and came back.

"Your Highness, even though the Yuan enemy army is full of fierce horses and is coming, the army must have had an epidemic and is not adapted to the local conditions. It will not take long for the arrogant. When the army gathers in various places and the situation reverses, it will be able to surround and annihilate them." A general said.

Chen Wei is a safe person and is very dissatisfied with this.

"Encircle and annihilate it? Humph, Dayue has lost 30,000 imperial guards in the past few days. How many troops can there be? King Zhaowen said that even if the troops are twice as strong as the enemy, it will be difficult to defeat it on the plains. It would be great if it could be defended."

Chen Wei pointed out outside the city, "This is not a jungle nearby. It can completely allow tens of thousands of cavalry to roar. How can we fight in the field? Just rely on the elephant soldiers? Humph, if the elephant soldiers can defeat the cavalry, the sooner the Central Plains, where will they be the turn of the Tartars?"

Since the Li Dynasty, they have had the ambition to go north to unify the Central Plains, but they can only think about it.

"Telephone order, guard the twelve hours. The young and strong in the city must also step up their training and use it at any time." Chen Wei said, "It's so abominable that there are tens of thousands of Great Vietnamese soldiers who have surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty. These traitors deserve to die!"

There were still tens of thousands of people in Kuaizhou City. When Chen Riyan was there, he recruited tens of thousands of men to train to defend the city every day. In other words, there were actually 60,000 defenders in the city.

Of course, this information was sent out by the special operations agents lurking into Kuaizhou half a month ago.

Li Luo outside the city was not in a hurry at all, and the battle to capture Kuaizhou would have been long gone. If the plan went smoothly, Kuaizhou would be broken within three days.

Of course, if Chen Riyan rushed back within three days, that would be another matter.

Can you just go around without hitting Kuaizhou?

cannot.

If Kuaizhou was still in the hands of the Vietnamese army, not only would the supply line of the Yuan army be cut off, but Shi Bi from the Jiangbei camp would also be isolated from the Vietnamese army.

"Transfer the order, retreat and set up camp three miles away." Li Luo ordered, "Thank you for the hard work of the army, take a rest for a day first and attack the city tomorrow."

The Yuan army set up camp in a swagger, and did not take the Vietnamese army seriously at all.

When it was dark, the Yuan army had set up camp and set up camp, Li Luo promoted the tent to discuss matters and discussed the attack on Kuaizhou.

"Tomorrow, the full force of attacking the city will make the Vietnamese army in the city frightened. In this way, my general's plan will work." Li Luo said, "Left Deputy General, sending 5,000 cavalry around the city and shooting at night, let the Vietnamese army taste the power first."

"In this way, the Vietnamese army will definitely shoot back the arrows outside the city. If you can find Hongyu, see if there is any note inside. If there is, it will be shot by someone who is determined to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty. Take it back to me."

When the generals heard this, they knew that someone in the city might want to surrender, and probably had contacted the general before.

As soon as it darkened, five thousand cavalry rushed out of the Yuan army camp and unscrupulously rode their horses outside the city, galloping around the city and firing arrows.

This is the tactics of Mongolian cavalry to attack the city and cavalry around the city.

Sure enough, many of the Vietnamese defenders who were not familiar with this move were shot and killed by Mongolian cavalry as soon as they emerged. When they shot arrows and fought back, they found it difficult to work.

The sharp crossbow, which is specially used to deal with siege, is difficult to threaten the Mongolian cavalry that is too close to the city wall because it is slow to react and has a long range.

After the rise of Mongolia, many cities were captured by cavalry and archery.

Mongolian soldiers were good at using strong bows, which was a cavalry bow that was used immediately, and the bow power was more than one stone, which was equivalent to the insurgent bows of the Vietnamese and Song dynasties. With the blessing of horse speed, the power was even stronger than the insurgent bows of the Vietnamese army.

Moreover, they still have a very high accuracy when archery on horseback and shoot directly on the front door. The frequency of archery is fast, so the defenders often dare not show up and find it difficult to carry out their city defense operations.

The power of this move is that it can not only kill the defenders on the city, but also move sideways quickly, making it difficult for the defenders on the city to aim and fight back. Even if the target that is moving sideways will be slipped away by the armor, greatly reducing the lethality.

Moreover, riding and shooting around the city can quickly determine the weak areas of the city.

Five thousand Mongolian cavalry circled the city and shot more than a dozen arrows. The Vietnamese defenders suffered four or five thousand casualties, almost 100 casualties. The Mongolian cavalry suffered less than a hundred casualties. The exchange ratio reached a terrifying fifty to one.

Of course, such tactics can only be used once. The Mongolian army dare not use them easily. Because riding around the city is also easy to be restrained and shoot horses.

It is indeed difficult to shoot and kill a cavalry that moves horizontally and quickly, but because the target of the war horse is too large, it is easy to be shot.

Sure enough, Chen Wei, who suffered a great loss, immediately ordered that the Yuan army cavalry come again and shoot horses and not people.

But what disappointed the Vietnamese army was that there were no more Mongolian cavalry. The Vietnamese army killed and injured thousands of people in vain, and the results were pitifully few. What's even more terrible is that the strength of the Yuan army cast a shadow on the hearts of the Vietnamese army.

Early the next morning, a team of traitors held a shield and came outside the city to collect the feather arrows fired by the Vietnamese army last night. The Vietnamese army at the top of the city saw the traitors who were still wearing big Yue armor but with braids, and they all cursed.

A total of more than 10,000 feather arrows were collected. Among them, hundreds of red feather arrows were found. Three of these red feather arrows had indeed hidden notes.

These three arrows were immediately sent to Li Luo's desk.

The content of the three notes was the same. It was obvious that the archers were afraid that the Yuan army would not be able to find it, so they shot a few.

The reason why Li Luo ordered the cavalry and shooting around the city last night was not only to attack the fighting spirit of the Vietnamese army, but of course it was also to cooperate with the spies in the city to send out intelligence.

Since he led his army to attack, Kuaizhou City has been completely martially and the people in the city can no longer leave the city. The spies can only send out information through this agreed method.

According to the information, although Chen Jian was determined to surrender and made up his mind, his direct troops were only a few thousand, and once there was a mistake, it would be all over. He hoped that the Yuan army would attack the city fiercely, giving him an opportunity to take advantage of it.

That's right, Li Luo had set his sights on Chen Jian very early. Because he knew that in history, Chen Jian took the initiative to surrender to the Yuan army. He was not forced to surrender, but to rush to the Yuan army camp to surrender.

Li Luo did like history, but he was not familiar with the details of the Yuan army's conquest of Yue in history, and only knew some important events and important figures. At that time, some civil and military ministers in Annan took the initiative to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty, at least they had two tricks.

But the only people Li Luo knew about were King Zhao Chen Yiji and Zhangxian Hou Chen Jian.

Therefore, Li Luo Zhengei Echizen told Cui Xiuning these two names. How could those who voluntarily surrender in history stand the instigation of spies from the Special Attack Bureau?

Chen Yiji was a peace seeker on the surface, but in fact he had long been looking forward to the Yuan army's conquest. He wanted to surrender to the Yuan court and hoped that the Yuan court would make him the King of Annan and follow Goryeo.

Chen Jian was different. According to the information of the spy, he was dissatisfied with his unrestrained use. He surrendered to the Yuan army for greater power.

Although this person is a close relative of the clan, he is very ambitious and talented, greedy for money and lust, but he also has a high opinion of himself. He is not only not favored by Chen Huang, but also by Chen Riyan.

Chen Wei, who was also a close royal family, was granted the title of King Xian of Ming and commanded tens of thousands of troops. However, Chen Jian was just a waiter, with only five thousand soldiers under his command, and he did not have as many soldiers as he brought.

Therefore, Chen Jian always held a grudge and had long wanted to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty. In history, he took his family soldiers to take the initiative to surrender to the Yuan army camp a hundred miles away.

The reason why Li Luo chose Kuaizhou as the breakthrough point was because intelligence showed that Chen Jian's troops were transferred to Kuaizhou.

However, Chen Riyi was very worried about Chen Jian and was afraid that he would make a bad thing. As soon as Chen Riyi arrived in Kuaizhou, he found an excuse to remove Chen Jian's military power and make him a wealthy idle person.

The only five thousand soldiers were deprived of Chen Riyan, and Chen Jian was even more angry and was even more angry under the instigation of spies. However, his little military power was taken away, and he could do nothing.

Unexpectedly, when the Zhanpo army suddenly attacked Yuezhong, Chen Riyi had to hand over Kuaizhou to Chen Wei, and led his troops to resist Zhan Po. Chen Wei temporarily became the lord of Kuaizhou.

Although Chen Wei is not a mediocre person, he is loyal and not as good as Chen Riyi. Chen Jian cried several times in front of Chen Wei, and made a grievance that he had no way to serve the country, which finally moved Chen Wei.

Although Chen Riyan told Chen Wei that Chen Jian was not available when he left. Chen Wei felt sympathy and returned the five thousand soldiers to Chen Jian. In this way, Chen Riyan's good intentions were in vain.

Chen Jian took back his troops and looked grateful in front of Chen Wei, swearing to serve the country with loyalty and swearing to live and die with Kuaizhou.

After reading the information, Li Luo felt relieved and couldn't help but smile.

Haha, as long as Chen Riyan doesn’t come back in time these two days, if Chen Jian is in the inner circle, Kuaizhou will be broken.

Without Chen Jian, Li Luo had more than 100,000 troops in his hands. Although he could still conquer Kuaizhou, he would have to pay at least 20,000 or 30,000 more casualties.

Chen Jian, I chose Kuaizhou for you, so you must not let me down.

…………

It was already late in the night in Kuaizhou City.

According to Chen Riyi's arrangement before leaving, each city gate must have two different troops to defend together to prevent someone from surrendering to the enemy and working inside and outside.

Chen Jian's five thousand soldiers and horses guarded the East City Gate. But in addition to his five thousand men, there were also Chen Guozan's five thousand men.

"Hmph, Chen Guozan is just a young man who is still young, but he commands five thousand soldiers. It's really outrageous. This Great Yue Kingdom should be destroyed!" Chen Jian was irritated in the military tent at this time.

In the military tent, he was either his confidant or the envoy of the Yuan army. He naturally had no pressure on his words of such ruthlessness.

A young man dressed in an aide said, "Chen Huang cannot recognize people, Chen Riyi is jealous of the talented people, so he makes the king and the prince be with him! Don't worry, my general said that as long as he serves in the Yuan Dynasty, he will be rewarded. Even everyone here is a meritorious minister."

Chen Jian nodded and said, "Then I thank the general. I hope that the general will attack the city in large numbers tomorrow, so I can open the city gate to welcome the king's army."

In addition to being selfish, Chen Jian surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and also had no confidence in resistance. He did not think that Yue State could protect the country. Since it would perish sooner or later, it would be better to surrender as soon as possible. Those who know the current affairs would become heroes. This principle has been known since he was educated.

However, Chen Jian suddenly thought of a question and said, "Mr. Zhang, can I not shave my hair after I played for Dayuan?"

Mr. Zhang pointed to his hair and said, "Dayuan didn't force his hair to shave. You see, he is not a Mongolian nationality. Although he serves Dayuan, he has not shave his hair. Junhou doesn't want to shave his hair, of course he can."

Chen Jian was relieved immediately, and the other people present were relieved.

Mr. Zhang laughed secretly. I am from Tang, so of course I don’t need to shave my hair. You, if you don’t want to shave your hair, I’m afraid it won’t work then.

Not anyone, they are qualified to tie their hair and scarves.

"Okay! That's it. As long as you get the best tomorrow, you can transfer Chen Guozan's five thousand soldiers and horses. We will open the east gate to welcome the general!" Chen Jian said fiercely.

…………

The east bank of the Tuojiang River, Guangweizhou.

Mangge, the king of Ailao, personally led a 50,000 army of nine tribes, and had already poisoned the naturalized road. Chang'an Road lasted for five days, and went deep into the territory of Yue for a hundred miles, massacring more than 100,000 people.

The so-called Ailao Kingdom is just a tribal alliance, among which the most powerful one is the Niuhou Man tribe. Mango, the chief of Niuhou Man, became the so-called Ailao King.
