He never planned to capture the city all the way first, because he believed that as long as he captured the imperial city, killed Emperor Ming Yuan, and hung his head, he would have captured the Northern Tang Dynasty. Naturally, this idea was correct, because the center of power was
After it was destroyed, the people were naturally hard-core people.
Naturally, he was not a reckless person. In order to confirm this, he sent several waves of spies to Jiangbei Mansion to investigate. Sure enough, he found out that there were troops stationed in Jiangbei Mansion. Camps were set up with a radius of ten miles, and yellow camp tents could be seen.
, In other words, the Supreme Emperor and the main force are waiting for them in Jiangbei Mansion.
He sneered at his general and said: "When people get old, they become confused. It can be seen that war cannot be stopped. Once it stops, no matter how powerful the God of War is, he is just a common man. Prince Anfeng is useless.
Moreover, they destroyed weapons early on. Prince Anfeng without weapons is just a toothless tiger."
The generals all agreed, shouting that the general was wise and that victory seemed to be in sight. The Northern Tang army was so vulnerable, why worry about not being able to defeat the Northern Tang Dynasty?
He immediately sent his troops to Xiuzhou Prefecture to occupy Xiuzhou Prefecture first. Seeing that this plan failed, Prince Anfeng would definitely pursue him. However, after they occupied a favorable position first, the Northern Tang Army was completely in a situation of being beaten.
.
Xiuzhou Prefecture is a hundred miles away from Jiangbei Prefecture. If you capture Xiuzhou Prefecture, you will basically take over the northern part of the Northern Tang Dynasty. This position is so important that General Qin attaches great importance to it and sent 5,000 vanguard troops there.
The large army then followed. The Northern Tang Dynasty had almost the entire country's troops. Therefore, there would be no more garrison troops in the various state capitals. At most, the yamen led people to resist tenaciously. Five thousand people were enough to quickly capture Xiuzhou Prefecture.
Sure enough, just ten days after the advance troops were dispatched, they already reported back, saying that they had captured Xiuzhou Mansion and had led the army to investigate. There were no troops stationed in Xiuzhou Mansion, only the government and the people. When the army broke through, the people from the government were
All ran away.
General Qin was very excited at that moment. He ordered the whole army to march and quickly rushed to Xiuzhou Prefecture to take over Xiuzhou Prefecture first.
The general of the vanguard of the Northern Desert was also a member of the Qin family. He was the nephew of General Qin, named Qin Mofeng. He was also a veteran general who had experienced many battles. After entering the city, he took over the government office and quickly imposed a strict curfew, prohibiting people from walking around the city.
However, after the martial law order was issued, no one implemented it, and the people still came out to walk. He was furious, and immediately gathered his troops to massacre the people to establish his authority.
But when the troops gathered, they saw that the people also gathered quickly and showed their weapons.
He realized something was wrong.
The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and the ground shook like mountains and mountains. They came from the end of Zhi Street. In the billowing smoke, they saw a veteran general sitting on a tall horse and running quickly. His heart suddenly felt cold. He was from Beitang.
Duke Xiaoyao, he is sitting on horseback, condescending, his face is solemn and majestic, all the generals are gathered just waiting for his order!
Fell into a trap!
Xiuzhou Prefecture has already moved all the people to a safe place. All the people here are disguised by the Northern Tang Army. This is a bureau, and the bureau is located in Xiuzhou Prefecture, not Jiangbei Prefecture.
And the news has been sent out. The general thought that Xiuzhou Mansion was safe, so his troops rushed to Xiuzhou Mansion. As long as they entered the city, they would be quickly surrounded.
