Chen Mu smiled: "Look at others, it's really hard to attack this city."
As for Zhang Bowen and Han Xiner, when they saw this scene, they frowned for a moment.
I saw Han Xiner pointing at the iron plates: "Brother Mu, if these things were there, you wouldn't be able to use these tiger-crouching cannons."
Zhang Bowen also nodded: "Yes, and this city is strong. If we attack it by force, it will be too difficult for us with more than 40,000 people to attack it by force."
Zhang Bowen had seen with his own eyes the power of Chen Muna's cannon. It was placed within a hundred meters and continuously bombarded the city's head. It was so powerful that the defenders in the city could not even lift their heads.
To attack Youzhou City, which is as solid as an iron barrel, these thirty cannons are definitely the biggest support in this battle. As long as they have the fire cover of these things, the Han army can sneak into the city almost unscathed.
But now this thing is no longer needed. With only 40,000 troops to storm Youzhou City, it is really a dream, but we know that there are more than 50,000 Tatar soldiers in the city.
After everyone was silent for a long time, they only heard Han Xin'er say: "If not, let's just besiege the city. We have constant support from the rear with food and grass, and we can even consume them to death."
Chen Mu shook his head: "Besieging the city is indeed a good way, but now that people dare to block the city gate, it means that others dare to fight with us. Han Xiner, do you know why we can hang up the Tatars and beat them now?"
Han Xiner immediately thought of the reason and knew that this method of siege would make the Han army doomed.
"The morale is high now. If it takes a few months until the cold winter, they will no longer be their opponents. But what should we do now? If we don't capture Youzhou City, we won't be able to enter most of Yanyun Province.
"
Chen Mu looked at the seemingly invulnerable city and just smiled scornfully, then slowly took out Yan Yun's map.
"Ignore them for now. Now that we have no worries, let's clean up the house first. That bastard Liu Jingtang seems to be in Yuzhou, right?"
Zhang Bowen pondered for a moment and nodded: "Jing Tang'er established his own territory to the west of Jiawei Prefecture, and did not give up all sixteen prefectures to the Tatars."
"Fart!" Chen Mu scolded.
"This bastard is relying on the Tatars to support his situation now. He is such a loser. I advise you not to say anything nice to him."
From the beginning to the end, Chen Mu couldn't figure out why this guy wanted to surrender to the Tatars. When he was caught this time, he had to ask him carefully.
Seeing Chen Mu getting angry, several people dared not speak out.
However, Yuzhou is not far from where they are now, only about a hundred miles away.
Chen Mu raised his head and looked at the eyes that kept looking at Youzhou Tower.
"Don't regret it."
After saying that, facing the troops, Chen Mu was heard yelling at the generals: "The whole army listens to the order! Go to Yuzhou!"
Under the leadership of the generals, the army withdrew from Youzhou City and headed towards the adjacent Yuzhou City.
As for King Lamour, who was taking a peek in Youzhou City, when he saw the army retreating, he immediately shouted excitedly: "The Han army has retreated!"
Immediately, Narimai glanced at his head and said: "Your Majesty, you really retreated!"
Looking at these soldiers and even the two tribal kings, they all looked relieved. Wanyan Liming, who was sitting at the back, just shook his head bitterly.
Is this a good thing? A terrible good thing.
It’s really sad to think about how brave and skilled the Tatar cavalry were many years ago, but now they are so happy to see the Han army, which was once regarded as a two-legged sheep, retreat.
It can only be said that in this cycle of destiny, no one can always be strong, and no one can always be weak.
But he was able to understand Chen Mu's thoughts. He just heard him sigh and say: "Chen Mu should have gone to attack Yuzhou. After all, Liu Jingtang is his younger brother. While recovering the five states in the west, he will also clean up the family."
The expressions of the two kings were stagnant, but they still smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if we have lost the five states in the west. As long as we hold Youzhou, will we be able to capture those five states if we want to take them back in the future?"
"Yes, as for Liu Jingtang, bah, he is a traitor. Even if he joins us, I will not despise such a person. I will die!"
Wanyan Liming stopped talking, stood up and looked at the Han army in the distance. Somehow, even though he was holding Youzhou City firmly, there was always a trace of panic in his heart. He always felt that if he held on so tightly, there would be a bigger disaster.
crisis.
But right now, there is no good way, so we have to do this.
As for Chen Mu, after two days of traveling, he was already less than twenty miles away from Yuzhou City.
But he was not in a hurry to march. Yuzhou was different from Youzhou. It can be seen that the troops guarding here were all Han troops, and they were just following orders.
They had the same blood, and many of them were brothers who had been brought out of Sichuan Gate, so Chen Mu did not want to fight with these people.
Therefore, the whole army set up camp to rest that day, and Chen Mu and others began to think about how to peacefully regain Yuzhou.
Chen Mu's men already lacked troops, so being able to recruit them all would undoubtedly be a great help. After all, Liu Jingtang had commanded a total of 25,000 elite troops.
Under the setting sun, Han Xiner said: "If not, I will go to the city in person to persuade him. In fact, in my heart, I always feel that there must be something hidden in Brother Jingtang's sudden surrender to the Tatars."
Han Xin'er and Liu Jingtang have always treated Liu Jingtang as brothers. During the years they spent together, he understood Liu Jingtang's character very well. Even if he would betray Long Xia, he would never betray Chen Mu.
As for Chen Mu, he shook his head at the moment: "So what if there is no hidden secret? Once you enter Yuzhou City, you will probably not be able to get out. Now that the world is getting more and more chaotic, you still have too many missions to complete.
You can’t take risks, you know?”
Hearing what Chen Mu said, Han Xiner couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart: "But if you really want to persuade him to surrender, there must be someone to persuade him."
Zhang Bowen said: "Most of the backbone of Liu Jingtang's troops are former members of the Sichuan sect. If the guess is correct, these people should be extremely disgusted with Liu Jingtang's rebellion. After all, they used to follow Brother Chen, but the general rebelled, and they had to
If you want to rebel, I will write half a letter to persuade you to surrender and send him into the city with a flintlock gun."
After hearing this plan, Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
That night, after the writing was completed, Han Xiner led an army to Yuzhou City at night.
As bursts of artillery fire rang out, hundreds of letters urging surrender were sent into the city.
The soldiers defending the city above the city gate were first panicked by the bursts of gunfire, but after seeing the contents of these surrender letters, they immediately cheered.
"The King of Shuchuan is here. Look at the content of this letter. The prince knows that we are also forced to surrender!"
"Haha, it's okay now, we can go back to our hometown!"
"Who would be willing to serve as a traitor if he could be the son of man?"
These letters of persuasion to surrender were like a river bursting its banks, spreading throughout Yuzhou City overnight. Naturally, they were also known to Liu Jingtang, who commanded Yuzhou.
He took a piece of paper and leisurely came to the courtyard, looked at the bright moon and just smiled.
