Chapter 557 Breaking Zhongyao
The gate of Zhongyao City was wide open, and hundreds of elite soldiers were striving to protect them under the leadership of Yi Hui, and finally waited until Taishici led the team into the city.
Although he successfully attacked the city, Taishici and the others were not careless. After all, there were still 100,000 defenders in the city.
Yi Hui looked behind him and saw that there were only less than fifty people whom he brought. He frowned, knowing that if he continued to fight like this, there would probably be no shortage of casualties.
So after receiving Taishi Ci's permission, he led his elite troops to the county magistrate's mansion.
Yi Hui believed that with his reputation, after controlling Yu Zhongwei, it was very likely that he would convince the defenders of Zhongyao County.
Along the way, I encountered many obstacles from Zhongyao defenders, but Yi Hui quickly brought people away, not only because of his own identity, but also because they were in a hurry to move, and they could not form an effective obstacle at all.
When he arrived at the county magistrate's mansion, Yi Hui heard the sound of fighting in the county magistrate's mansion.
Yi Hui remembered that Ren Hu had told him before that they were going to see Yu Zhongwei and knew that their whereabouts might be exposed, so he did not hesitate and directly led the army to attack the county magistrate's mansion.
The county magistrate's mansion also has a small wall. Although it is one world and one city wall, it also has a certain defense.
If the soldiers in the mansion organize their defense well, it will probably take a certain amount of time for Yi Hui and the others to break through. If the enemy reinforcements arrive, things will be even more serious.
But now the county magistrate's office is in chaos, let alone effective blocking.
The gate of the county magistrate's mansion had not been hit several times, and Yi Hui led his men to rush out to the outside. After subduing the soldiers who were still fighting stubbornly, Yi Hui eagerly led the soldiers to the place where the sound of fighting came from the backyard.
Yu Zhongwei had just taken over the county magistrate's mansion. Even if he wanted to change the layout, he probably wouldn't have that time. As for the tunnel, there was naturally no in the city lord's mansion. Therefore, before coming in, Yi Hui had someone surrounded the county magistrate's mansion, so that Yi Hui would not be afraid of him escaping.
Yi Hui's guess was correct. It was Ren Hu and Yu Zhongwei's personal soldiers who fought in the rear.
Although there are many enemies, Ren Hu and the others seem to be at ease. Although there are not many people killed, the enemy can do anything in the way of moving around.
Yi Hui knew that time was tight, so he made a loud order and asked the soldiers to attack in the direction of Yu Zhongwei.

At dusk, Li Yang stood on the observation platform and looked at Fanyang City in the distance.
After many consecutive days of continuous bombing, although the city wall in front of them was already bumpy, it was still firmly blocking them.
'It seems that he has made sufficient preparations!' Li Yang sighed in his heart.
At this time, footsteps suddenly came from behind him. Li Yang didn't have to look back and knew who it was, "Zifang, but is there any information coming?"
"Yes, big brother!"
After saying that, Zhang Liang had already walked up to Li Yang and handed a piece of information to Li Yang.
"According to news from Moyi Tower in the north, Xuanyuan Honglie's troops stationed in defense of Qiang and Hu have already transferred some of them to advance towards Fanyang. In addition, the troops stationed in Youzhou have a total of about one million people."
Li Yang exhaled a breath of turbid air and thought to himself, 'This is the densely populated Jizhou, and other states, how can they bring out so many people?'
What's more, Jizhou has been consumed by the destruction of Gongsun Zan and the civil war, and there are still such troops.
Speaking of this, Li Yang suddenly remembered, "Gongsun Zan was destroyed, have those Red Refining Chariots been taken back?"
"At this time, Liang had heard from Chairman Dong that after the Jizhou army invaded the hinterland of Youzhou, he ordered people to hide the Red Refining Chariot and then transported it back to Tianyun by sea."
"That's good!" Li Yang nodded.
The destruction of Gongsun Zan was beyond Li Yang's expectations. Now that their war with Jizhou has officially begun, the lack of Gongsun Zan in the north has undoubtedly increased the difficulty of their combat.
But this matter is reasonable.
This not only includes his grudges and grudges with Jizhou, but also the reasons for Li Yang. After all, Li Yang was on the surface to assist Gongsun Zan, so Gongsun Zan was also labeled as Li Yang indecisively.
Neither Yuan Shao, who had a grudge against Li Yang, nor Xuanyuan Honglie who wanted to replace him, he would allow Gongsun Zan to exist.
"Zifang, can Zhongyao come from news?"
"I heard from Ziyi that they had already captured Zhongyao County and captured Yu Zhongwei alive. Brother Yi relied on Zhongyao's reputation and collected 50,000 yuan. In order to prevent the information from leaking, the two are now blocking the county town."
"Well, the message told them that they must speed up their pace. The millions of troops in the north may not only come to Fanyang."
"It has been passed!" Zhang Liang replied.
Li Yang turned around and smiled at Zhang Liang. As expected, his second brother understood him the best.
Looking back at the city wall again, Li Yang took a step forward and walked towards his tent.
Now I seem to suppress the enemy's huddle in the city and dare not come out, but the actual situation is that the number of enemy troops and horses has not only not decreased, but has increased day by day.
Therefore, he knew that the war would be officially started until Xuanyuan Honglie's other military horses arrived.
…………
After receiving further instructions from Li Yang, Taishi Ci immediately led 100,000 tiger soldiers to leave Zhongyao.
As for the subsequent aftermath work, it was handed over to Yi Hui and the 50,000 soldiers.
After Taishi Ci left Zhongyao County, he hid in the morning and left at night, crossed the boundaries of Ling County, and headed towards the southwest. During the night, small groups of troops continued to merge, resulting in the army, which was originally less than 100,000 troops, with 150,000 soldiers.
Due to the sudden march of the Tiger Legion into Jizhou, all counties and towns in Qinghe County were under martial law.
What Taishici wanted was this effect, and he also sent someone to clean up the sentry detectives along the way, so their whereabouts were not discovered immediately.
But this army is huge after all, so it is not easy to conceal its whereabouts. Therefore, Taishi Ci just wanted to delay the time of being discovered and complete the task as soon as possible.
Eventually, although they were discovered, they came to the designated location.

One morning, Huang Xu held a piece of information in his hand and looked at Gao Shun with an excited look.
"They are finally here, and there is no need to be so frustrated!"
Gao Shun had a rare smile on his face, which was originally paralyzed.
The infinite confrontation and tentative attacks these days have made him, a veteran on the battlefield, really want to fight a big battle.
According to the plan, the two immediately assembled all the troops and prepared for the opportunity.
The gathering of the 200,000 troops was also very complicated and time-consuming, and the movement was also very loud. He had been monitoring their enemy, so he naturally took action as soon as possible.
When you are suddenly screamed in the morning, no matter who you are, you will be tired. Although you obey the military order and force yourself to support your body, the fatigue in your eyes cannot be concealed.
Of course, this situation not only occurs in the Xuanyuan army, but also accounts for the vast majority of the Li Yang army led by Huang Xu.
According to common sense, the battle at this time is absolutely unreasonable and there will be heavy losses. Therefore, Wen Chou and the others originally thought they would be acting, but after all, this situation has happened more than once today.
But what Wen Chou and Ju Yi expected was that after the enemy set up their camps this time, they rushed up. Just as they were puzzled and organized their own soldiers to set up their military formations to meet the enemy, they heard the same shouts of killing coming from behind.
