"Notice that Nanzhou, Yunzhou, Linzhou, Huazhou, and Tongzhou will seize the city at the same time in three days!"
Wu Chuang couldn't help but shiver when he heard the young woman's voice above him.
The governor of Nanzhou led the garrison of the five states. As soon as he left, he was targeted at the city. If the city gate was opened, the remaining soldiers in the city could be swept away by himself with hundreds of brothers, let alone
There are so many great people out there...
It would be fine if the 20,000 people attacked Cangzhou and won, but if they were defeated, they would not even be able to return home...
Without food and grass, he could not enter his house from the front, and there were troops chasing him from behind. The only way was to annihilate the whole army.
Listening to what this elder sister means, I guess Yunzhou, Linzhou, Huazhou... the small and medium-sized forces around these five states have also been controlled by them. This time they captured the five states, and dozens of them in the Wu Kingdom.
Yanchen, there is no rebel king who can occupy the land of five states at the same time...
He quickly recovered from the shock and said loudly: "I'll make arrangements right away!"
After saying that, he left quickly and gathered so many brothers. He originally thought that it was just a small fight and robbery, but he didn't expect that this time it would be so big, and he was still a little excited and expecting...
When those people go to attack Princess Duanrong and the snipe and the clam fight, they will be the fishermen who gain...
Bai Su walked in from the outside, looked at Miss Liu Er, and asked: "Leader, 20,000 people are attacking Cangzhou this time. Can King Jing and the others cope with it?"
Miss Liu Er stood up and said, "Even if there are 200,000 of them, as long as he says he can handle it, he can handle it."
Bai Su looked at her, moved her lips, and said nothing more.
The alliance leader always has unreasonable confidence in King Jing.
She sighed secretly in her heart. When a woman likes a man, she will lose her judgment and think that whatever he does is right. Even a strange woman like the leader of the alliance is not immune to this.
She puffed up her chest habitually, feeling the oppression and restraint, and felt that King Jing could still be trustworthy in many cases...
…
Nanzhou, Linzhou, Tongzhou and other places belong to the northwest of Wu Kingdom. They are middle and lower states. The people live in poverty and poverty. Among them, Cangzhou is the worst.
Cangzhou is located in the northwest of Wu Kingdom, closest to the chaotic land. It used to be the most chaotic and poorest place in Wu Kingdom, but that was only once.
Today is not what it used to be. People in other states have also heard about the current situation in Cangzhou these days.
The bandits near Cangzhou have been cleared away by Princess Duanrong, and the people no longer suffer from banditry.
The wealthy families in Cangzhou City who caused harm to the people were also eliminated one by one, and all county government offices were thoroughly cleaned. If the people have grievances, they can appeal at any time.
In addition, Princess Duanrong also provided opportunities for those poor people to work, reduced taxes, and if someone volunteered to join the army, they could also receive a generous compensation. It was truly possible for one person to join the army, and the whole family would not be hungry...
On the other hand, even if they are hiding in the city, they will always be bullied by gangsters and bullies. If they live outside the city, they are even more precarious. If they can survive one more day, they will count as a day's gain.
Not only do the poor people have to be bullied by the rich, but the government's tax system is also extremely strict. Every few days, there will be additional reasons to tax the people. The people are miserable, but they have nowhere to complain...
As early as two years ago, when Princess Duanrong occupied Cangzhou, they envied the lives of the people in Cangzhou. Two years later, when Princess Duanrong came back, their lives were even worse than those of the people in Cangzhou.
This time, the Governor led 20,000 soldiers to attack Shuzhou. Although they did not know what the result would be, many people even expected their defeat in their hearts. Princess Duanrong, Chen Sheng, pursued and took over Linzhou, Nanzhou.
It is ten times and a hundred times better than the life they are living now.
It's night, Nanzhou Fucheng, East Gate.
"You guys, cheer up for me. The governor has an order. If something goes wrong these days, be careful with your heads!" A school lieutenant on patrol passed by the gate of the city and gave a few instructions to a group of guards.
, then turned and left.
One of the guards curled his lips and muttered: "Why is it so bad? I married my sister to the governor and became his concubine in the seventh house to get such a position. The villain is successful..."
A person next to me reminded: "Keep your voice down, he will hear you, and you won't be able to eat and walk around."
"It's been months since I've been paid, and my family can't even open the pot. When will this kind of life end..." The guard leaned against the wall, yawned, sighed, and said, "I do.
I hope Her Majesty the Princess can come in. Yesterday I heard from people outside that if you follow the Princess as a soldier, you will get money right away. One or two pieces of silver, and you can save money on food and expenses, and you can keep your family from starving for most of the year..."
The man next to him was silent for a moment and asked: "Do you really want to follow Her Highness the Princess?"
The guard shook his head and said: "Hey, it's a pity that our fate is not good. We are not in Cangzhou and have no chance..."
Boom - boom, boom!
The sound of the watch was heard in the distance, one slow, two fast, and three times.
"It's the third watch..." The man next to him heard the sound of the watch, turned his head, grinned at him, and asked: "Do you want to serve as a soldier under the princess?"
…
It was already midnight on the third watch day, and most people in Nanzhou City, except for the watchman and the soldiers who occasionally passed by on patrol, had fallen asleep.
Countless figures appeared quietly outside the East City Gate.
Wu Chuang watched the bald man leading him knock on the city gate as if knocking on his own door, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
This is the city gate. If the city gate can be opened so easily, what is the use of building such a thick and strong city wall?
However, his expression froze on his face the next moment.
After the bald head knocked on the door, the gate of Nanzhou City actually opened a crack, and opened wider and wider.
At the same time, the city gates of Yunzhou, Linzhou, Huazhou, Tongzhou, and Wuzhou were opened at the same time.
Countless figures poured in from outside the city and went straight to various government offices in the city.
At the same time, the five-state coalition army, which had been marching for three days, suddenly heard chaotic footsteps and sharp sounds from the camp.
"It's on fire, the food is on fire!"
"Enemy attack, there is an enemy attack!"
"Meet the enemy, meet the enemy quickly!"
"Put out the fire first, save food and grass first!"
…
There was a lot of noise in the camp. In a forest a few miles away from the camp, a young man looked at the old man in front of him, shook his head, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that they can't find their coach's tent.
Otherwise, if Mr. Xu takes action, this battle will not have to be fought..."
A person next to him looked at him and said: "Their commander is not that stupid. He set up the camp where you can find it. His Highness has already said that our task is to burn their food and grass, complete the task, and go back to deliver the work."
, don’t make any more trouble..."
"Hey, never mind, let's get it done and call it a day..."
More than ten experts from the Heavenly Ranking quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
In the rear camp, a man wearing ordinary armor looked gloomy and asked: "How many are left?"
A general knelt on the ground, looked up at him, swallowed, and said: "They used kerosene, and most of the food and grass were burned. What was saved was probably only enough to feed the entire army for half a day...
"
The man clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "Beyond Cangzhou, there are strong walls and clear fields. It is still two days' journey from Cangzhou. It will take one day at the fastest. The food is only enough for half a day. Tell me, how should this battle be done?
beat?"
The general thought for a while and said in a low voice: "If we send people back to transport food and grass, it will take four days at the fastest. If we make an emergency march, we can reach Cangzhou in one day. Save a little of this food and it will be enough to support two people."
Today, if we can work together to capture Cangzhou, we will have enough food..."
The middle-aged man said coldly: "What if we can't do it all at once?"
The general said solemnly: "General, there is a huge disparity in military strength between Cangzhou and ours. We will be able to defeat it quickly. If we return to the city at this time, we are afraid that our morale will be greatly damaged and it will be a big disadvantage..."
The middle-aged man thought for a while, and after a while, he whispered: "Just in case, send two thousand people back to transport food and grass, and let me work hard to attack Cangzhou!"
