Chapter 274: The fake road to attack Guo: Beihai, broken!
After traveling quickly, Xiang Ji's army finally arrived at Beihai.
Looking at the quaint city in front of him, Xiang Ji was filled with emotion.
This is the first county town I entered when I came to this world!
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, I am back again.
However, this time, the large banner standing on the city will be named "Xiang"!
"Guo Tu only represents my lord Yuan Tan and sincerely welcomes the King of Chu!"
Looking at the flattering Guo Tu in front of him, Xiang Ji sneered again and again.
It seems that this guy has some kind of plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, and wants to deceive me?
"Drag it down and kill it!"
Now that he has arrived in Beihai, Qingzhou without any loss of blood, Xiang Ji naturally doesn't have to hide anything.
Although it was a pity that Yuan Tan didn't come to greet him in person, it wasn't a big problem for Xiang Ji.
You know, for Xiang Ji, the most difficult place to enter in Qingzhou is Anqiu.
Although Taishi Ci had relied on Anqiu to resist the invasion of the Hebei Army before, the Hebei Army could also rely on Anqiu to resist the invasion of the Chu State.
If Anqiu is attacked by force, I am afraid that the Chu army will suffer a lot of unnecessary losses.
After all, the Hebei Army has been in a stalemate with the Chu Army in the Anqiu area for more than two years, so the defense line must be very complete.
Now that Anqiu has passed, facing the lamb-like Qingzhou Army, Xiang Ji naturally showed his fangs.
!!!
"King Chu!? We are allies! Our Lord Yuan Tan sincerely surrenders to you, you can't do this!
If you do this, you will be reviled by everyone in the world!"
Guo Tu was shocked to hear that Xiang Ji wanted to kill him.
Damn it! Has my plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves been detected?
After all, he is a wise man. In an instant, Guo Tu figured out a lot.
I am afraid that I am not driving the tiger to devour the wolf, but luring the wolf into the house!
"Hmph, ally? Sincerely surrender?
Since they sincerely surrendered, why didn't Yuan Tan, Gao Lan, and the Qingzhou Army come?
Do you really think there are no smart people in this world?"
Xiang Ji snorted coldly at Guo Tu and ignored the guy who was dragged down.
"Send the order and attack the city!"
Facing the undefended Beihai County, Xiang Ji unceremoniously ordered to attack the city.
Just kidding, if we wait for the Qingzhou Army to react, wouldn't it take a lot of effort?
"Boom!"
Under Xiang Ji's order, Canglongqi took the lead in launching the attack.
"Oh my god! Hurry! Close the city gate!"
The Beihai defenders discovered the Qingzhou Army's unusual movements, but it was too late.
"I am a member of the Chu Kingdom, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Taking the lead, Xiang Ji took the lead and rushed towards the Beihai City Gate.
Several defenders who wanted to close the city gate were swept away by Xiang Ji's Overlord Halberd.
"Lord, hurry up, run away! We've been tricked! The Chu army is attacking the city!"
Yuan Tan in the city was still calculating when he would betray him, but he never thought that the opportunity to betray him did not come, but he waited for such bad news.
Hearing that Xiang Ji had begun to attack the city, Yuan Tan said nothing, took his followers and beat the horses wildly, and ran towards the east gate that had not yet been captured by the Chu army.
"The King of Chu has an order, surrender without killing!"
After Yuan Tan escaped, Beihai City, which had only 20,000 defenders, fell immediately.
All the soldiers who resisted fell to the ground, either wailing in pain or losing their lives.
"Overlord, Yuan Tan escaped!"
Xiang Ji didn't feel surprised at all after receiving Tai Shici's report.
After all, if this guy didn't come out of the city to greet him, then the possibility of escaping must be very high.
But so what?
The current Qingzhou Army is probably only 50,000 strong.
Xiang Ji, who also has an army of 50,000, is really not afraid of the Qingzhou Army.
"Collect the surrendered troops and leave five thousand soldiers to defend the city."
After explaining to Tai Shi Ci, Xiang Ji looked into the distance.
Now that Beihai, the seat of Qingzhou, has been captured, Yuan Tan only has the 50,000 Anqiu garrison commanded by Gao Lan.
As for the 50,000 defenders, Xiang Ji planned to send troops directly to destroy them, or drive them away even if it didn't work.
After all, Anqiu is now between the Chu army and the Chu country.
If we ignore this, I am afraid that the grain road and the Chu country will be threatened.
Yuan Tan is a hot chick, but Gao Lan is different.
Although this guy's personal martial arts skills can only be regarded as average, his ability to command the army in battle is worthy of being called one of the four pillars of Hebei.
The problem in Qingzhou is not big anymore. I just don’t know whether the battle in Luoyang and Zhao Yun’s army against Bingzhou will go smoothly?
But Xiang Ji didn't know that the battlefield on the Western Front that he was concerned about was now completely open.
After all, Chang'an is not far from Luoyang, so when Xiang Ji went to Qingzhou, Zhang Liao's army had already arrived at Luoyang City.
Looking at the impregnable Luoyang built by Lu Meng, Zhang Liao was helpless. Is this a turtle shell?
That guy Hao Meng is such a loser. He didn't take Luoyang despite such a good opportunity before, but was taken advantage of by the Chu army.
You know, Lu Bu's general Hao Meng was always responsible for attacking Luoyang.
This guy faced Cao Ren's defense of Luoyang and attacked it for a year.
In the end, although Cao Ren's garrison was beaten to less than one out of five, Luoyang City still stood tenaciously on the path of Lu Bu's army.
Previously, it was because Lu Bu had newly occupied Xiliang and was internally unstable, so he did not pay much attention to the battle of Luoyang.
But when we paid more attention, we found that the banner at the top of Luoyang City had changed.
The previous large banner with the character "Cao" disappeared and was replaced with a large banner with the character "Chu".
This is really glaring and ironic.
After a year of fighting at the expense of soldiers and generals, and finally giving others an advantage, no one can stand this kind of thing.
But Luoyang City was helpless, and with Lu Meng's arrival, the soldiers and armor were replenished, and a large amount of city defense materials were also shipped from the mainland of Chu.
This caused the Xiliang army, which was not good at attacking cities, to look at Luoyang and sigh.
Originally, Lu Bu planned to continue grinding like this.
Anyway, my king's army is near you in Luoyang. I can't enter the Central Plains, and you, Xiang Ji of Chu State, can't even think of crossing Luoyang to invade Sanfu.
But Xiang Ji's sudden expedition to Hebei completely disrupted Lu Bu's plan.
Lu Bu also knew that if Xiang Ji really occupied all of Hebei, the Xiliang army would no longer have an overwhelming advantage even in field battles.
For Lu Bu, this was completely unacceptable.
Therefore, Hao Meng, the original chief general in the attack on Luo, became a deputy general, and Zhang Liao, the original chief general in Sanguan, became the chief general in the attack on Luo.
Thinking of Lu Bu's order to him, Zhang Liao felt dizzy.
Although there are only 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers in Luoyang City, facing the nearly 200,000 troops after integrating Hao Meng, they are absolutely unable to fight back.
But the problem is that the city wall in Luoyang is really too high...
