Zhang Long really didn't expect that Chen Mu would suddenly play such a trick. With these sergeants under his command, he could barely defend the city, let alone take the initiative to attack?
There is no such thing as taking someone else's retreat. The military strength of both sides is relatively similar. If the strength is much weaker than others, it is almost like seeking death for the same person.
What can we do now? We can only hold on to the city and wait for things to change.
As for Chen Mu and his party, entering the vast area of Jingzhou was like a tiger entering a forest.
This road crisscrossed various cities, with five thousand cavalry clearing the way in front, while the rest of the army steadily followed behind.
Of course, this time it was to completely bring the entire Jingzhou into his territory. Chen Mu almost never killed anyone without killing anyone. Whenever he arrived at a city, Chen Mu would ask the cavalry to bring a letter.
As long as they surrender and remain in office, their salary will be doubled. This will undoubtedly give some officials in the city a shot of tranquilizer. After all, for some officials, as long as they touch their own interests, no matter whether you are Chen Mu or today
Where is the emperor?
Along the way, many cities surrendered voluntarily, and of course there were die-hards like Zhang Long. Chen Mu would deal with them sooner or later, but not now.
Now she only has one idea, and that is to quickly join Han Xin'er, and then rush to the edge of the Yangtze River together to completely eliminate the chance of the Northern Longxia court taking the opportunity to enter Jingzhou.
When it comes to actually leading troops and setting up formations, Chen Mu thinks that he is no match for Han Xiner. Currently, Han Xiner's side is fighting consecutive battles. Chen Mu always feels that even if she fights hard, he can bring down the entire Jingzhou.
.
That afternoon, Chen Mu finally led his army to the camp where Han Xiner was located.
"That's what I mean. Instead of being restrained by the resistance forces, it would be better to bypass these cities and defeat all the ones that can be defeated. In the end, it will be easier to deal with the resistance forces alone."
If you want to occupy Jingzhou in a short time, you can't tolerate any delays on the road.
When Han Xiner heard what Chen Mu said, after thinking for a moment, she nodded: "Just do what Brother Mu said."
After the battle plan was established, a hundred thousand troops began to march across Jingzhou.
Within ten days, except for the fortified city guarded by Zhang Long, most of the remaining areas in Lingling County were captured. Of course, there were also extremely die-hard Long Xia court loyalists who were unwilling to surrender.
Those who could be defeated quickly were killed by Chen Mu. Those who resisted fiercely like Zhang Long were kept for later and then dealt with slowly.
Chen Mu was given to outsiders. In fact, many forces in Jingzhou were united and wanted to hold on at the very beginning.
However, due to the poor flow of information, many places thought that the front line was lost when they saw that the Shu army had reached them so quickly. Moreover, because of Chen Mu's hundreds of thousands of troops, they were defeated without even waiting for the attack.
Scared.
Therefore, some local officials were very sensible and opened the city gates to welcome them.
Right now, the entire Jingzhou, Wuling, Lingling, Guiyang, and the three counties are almost in his hands, and all he needs to do next is to push them all the way through.
I heard that the Japanese and Longxia armies were attacking each other in the Jiangnan area, and finally forced the Longxia army to retreat to the north of the Yangtze River. The huge Jiangnan area now belonged to the Japanese.
Chen Mu only found it funny to think that an army of more than 70,000 people came for a sneak attack, but was defeated by the surviving Japanese army of more than 50,000 people and fled back to Jiangbei in embarrassment.
A bunch of heartless dogs, even though they can completely wipe out these alien races, they want to team up with others to deal with me. Now, not only is Jiangnan occupied, but Jingzhou is also going to be lost.
In the next month, Changsha, Xiangyang, Yidu and other places were occupied by Chen Mu's men. After learning that Long Xia's army was defeated by the Japanese, Chen Mu no longer worried so much.
.
The Japanese needed to digest the huge Yangzhou area, but Long Xia's army was unable to conquer them again.
On the contrary, everyone on Zhang Long's side was in an unusually solemn mood.
"General, now most of the land in Jingzhou has been occupied by Chen Mu. We...have no chance!"
Lingling's senior officials were all gathered in a courtyard at this moment. They had occupied almost the entire Jingzhou area in more than a month. Most people had already been frightened by Chen Mu's sharp military front, and they all wanted to surrender.
mean.
After all, they are different from Zhang Long. As long as they can continue to be officials, who cares who becomes the emperor? The difference is the same as employees and shareholders.
"Never surrender! Now I have thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy. During the war, there are still many generals defending the city in Jingzhou who refuse to surrender. In fact, we can unite them. Now Chen Mu is in the hinterland of Jingzhou. By then,
Even if they are besieged from all sides, there is still a high chance that they can be captured."
Zhang Long thought about it for a long time and felt that this was very consistent with what was said in the Art of War. It is difficult to control the enemy's end when attacking from all sides and must be defeated.
Thinking of this, Zhang Long couldn't help but feel a little excited. If Chen Mu was really captured under his leadership, she would not only become famous all over the world, but she might also be favored by His Majesty and be granted the title of Marquis.
After that, Zhang Long began to draft letters and prepare to send them to various counties and cities.
Chen Mu led his army to the front, and the die-hard defenders in the rear were immediately overjoyed when they saw Zhang Long's letter. Zhang Long's letter was written in an orderly manner, and the generals also felt that it was a good idea to lead the army to besiege.
Therefore, everyone came down and prepared to respond to Zhang Long's call.
But it was Zhang Long's idea that soon caused them to be completely defeated. These generals, including Zhang Long, had never really killed the enemy on the battlefield!
Everything was just imagined by him, but he didn't know that Chen Mu wanted all of you to gather together and clean them all up at once.
Several forces in the rear began to make moves, and Chen Mu had already reached the coast of the Yangtze River.
As soon as we reach this point, the entire battle situation is basically settled.
At this time, Zhang Bowen looked at the vast Yangtze River and felt very happy.
"Brother Chen, you have finally become a prince. You are still young. If you work hard from now on, you will surely be able to take the whole world into your own pocket."
Chen Mu smiled and felt a little at a loss for a moment, but he knew that he had just come to this world and was just a down-and-out scholar who couldn't make a living, but now he was a prince.
With the body of Yizhou, Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, he suddenly became the largest force in the entire Central Plains.
"Report! Your Majesty, several armies are approaching us!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions froze: "That army?"
"Just...the defenders we didn't fight before are surrounding us. I'm afraid there are 70,000 to 80,000 people!"
After hearing this, Chen Mu didn't look anxious at all. Instead, he was extremely happy and said, "Okay! I'm having a headache with these people, but I didn't expect them to come to my door!"
