Chapter 772 Battle of Yangzhou (21)
Xue Li, who had already learned that Xia Houyuan had entered Jundao County, had not sent troops eastward for the time being. He planned to check the situation again.
Xia Houyuan sent Zhu Ling and did not leave Jundao County, because Jundao County was the only way for the Xixia army to advance eastward. As long as he guarded Jundao County, Guangling County would not be in danger for the time being.
Because neither Xue Li nor Xia Houyuan sent troops, the Xia and Wei armies were temporarily in a stalemate.
During this period, Changsun Sheng and Zhu Ling also led their troops towards Shouchun respectively.
Because Hefei was closer to Shouchun, Changsun Sheng's tribe took the lead in attacking Shouchun City.
As Changsun Sheng's troops approached the city, Shouchun guard Chen Ji quickly rushed to the tower to check.
When Chen Ji saw the Xixia army outside the city, he was surprised for a moment.
"How did the Xixia soldiers and horses reach Shouchun City?"
As soon as Chen Ji finished speaking, Chang Sun Sheng stepped forward and began to persuade him to surrender.
"People in the city, listen, now the city of Hefei has been captured by our Xixia army. This city is now an isolated town. If you know better, you can open the city and surrender obediently. I can protect you in glory and wealth. If you resist stubbornly, the city will be destroyed."
That is the day when you will die."
Chen Ji was shocked when he heard Chang Sun Sheng's cry, but he did not believe that Hefei had fallen.
Immediately, Chen Ji responded: "Don't talk nonsense. Hefei is an important town. How can it be taken away by you? If you want to fight, fight. No need to say more."
Changsun Sheng heard Chen Ji's response, and he immediately locked eyes with Chen Ji.
'It seems that this person is the Shouchun garrison. If I shoot him, the Shouchun garrison may not want to fight anymore.'
Thinking of this, Changsun Sheng also estimated the distance between himself and Chen Ji.
At this time, Chen Ji saw that Chang Sun Sheng was silent. He thought that he had intimidated Chang Sun Sheng, so he also laughed out loud.
After Changsun Sheng heard Chen Ji's ridicule, he suddenly became angry.
After Chang Sun Sheng estimated the distance between him and Chen Ji, he immediately rode forward and walked a little further.
Seeing Chang Sun Sheng's actions, Chen Ji didn't notice anything, because in his knowledge, Chang Sun Sheng couldn't hurt him at all.
When Chang Sun Sheng reached a position where he could shoot Chen Ji, he immediately took out the bow and arrow on his back and aimed at Chen Ji.
When Chen Ji saw that Sun Sheng actually took out a bow and arrow a hundred steps away, he immediately started mocking him even more unscrupulously.
When Changsun Sheng heard Chen Ji's ridicule, he gradually calmed down, because an impetuous mood was not conducive to archery.
Soon, Changsun Sheng shot the sharp arrow in his hand.
After the arrow left the string, it headed straight for Chen Ji with a strong sound of breaking through the air.
Chen Ji saw that the sharp arrow shot by Chang Sun Sheng was getting closer and closer to him. Only then did he realize that Chang Sun Sheng could actually shoot him from a hundred steps away.
At this time, Chen Ji began to want to escape.
But the sharp arrow shot by Chang Sun Sheng was so powerful that Chen Ji had no time to dodge.
In the end, Chen Ji only moved a little, but he did not completely avoid Changsun Sheng's sharp arrow.
When Chen Ji saw Chang Sun Sheng's sharp arrow stuck near his heart, he was speechless for a moment.
When the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty saw that their leader Sun Sheng actually shot Chen Ji from a hundred steps away, they were all stunned.
At this time, Chen Ji wanted to say something, but Chang Sun Sheng's sharp arrow missed Chen Ji's heart.
Chen Ji finally pointed at Changsun Sheng and fell down.
When the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty saw this, their morale was immediately in chaos.
At this time, Chang Sun Sheng shouted again: "Are you still unwilling to open the city?"
After hearing Chang Sun Sheng's cry, Chen Ji's lieutenant finally ordered the city gate to be opened.
When Changsun Sheng saw that the city gate was open, he immediately said with emotion: "I didn't expect that it would be so easy to capture Shouchun."
Immediately, Changsun Sheng ordered his soldiers to enter Shouchun.
When the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the city saw that their leader Sun Sheng had led his troops into the city, they did not dare to take a breath.
When Chang Sun Sheng's troops entered the city, he immediately asked: "Except for the man I shot just now, who of the rest of you is the chief?"
When Chen Ji's lieutenant heard Chang Sun Sheng's question, he quickly stood up tremblingly and replied: "Go back to the general, I am a villain."
"Very good. You are very aware of current affairs. What I said before still works."
Suddenly hearing Chang Sun Sheng's words, Chen Ji's lieutenant immediately laughed, because this meant that not only would he not be punished, but he might also be a blessing in disguise.
Immediately, Chen Ji's lieutenant quickly thanked Chang Sun Sheng.
Changsun Sheng replied without any courtesy and allowed him to take over the Shouchun City with the Xixia soldiers.
The 10,000 defenders in the city were finally absorbed by Chang Sun Sheng.
Within two days, Zhu Ling's army finally arrived in Shouchun.
When Zhu Ling discovered that the flag on Shouchun City had been changed, he was shocked for a moment.
At this time, Changsun Sheng also received news that the Wei army was approaching the city.
Soon, Chang Sun Sheng arrived at the east gate.
When Changsun Sheng saw that there were indeed soldiers and horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty outside the city, he immediately shouted: "General, you are already late. Shouchun has already belonged to me, Xixia."
After Zhu Ling heard Changsun Sheng's cry, his heart was bleeding, because his plan was to rely on Shouchun City to fight the Xixia soldiers and horses, but the current situation is that the Xixia soldiers and horses occupied Shouchun, which made his plan
Completely disrupted.
Despite this, Zhu Ling did not withdraw his troops because his mission was to defeat the Xia army in Shouchun.
Immediately, Zhu Ling also shouted: "People in the city, listen, I am Zhu Ling, the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty. If you have the ability, go out of the city and fight me to the death!"
Hearing Zhu Ling's cry, Changsun Sheng suddenly thought to himself: 'Is it possible that this Northern Wei general has burned out his brain? I have clearly captured Shouchun, so what reason do they have to stay?'
Immediately afterwards, Changsun Sheng began to think deeply.
At this time, Zhu Ling continued to shout.
After a while, Changsun Sheng finally understood the key.
"Zhu Ling, if you have the ability, come and attack the city!"
Hearing what Chang Sun Sheng said, Zhu Ling almost suffered from internal injuries, because his goal was to defeat the Xixia army. If he attacked the city, he would be the one who would be defeated. After all, he had no siege equipment prepared at all.
When Changsun Sheng saw that Zhu Ling didn't reply, he immediately used words to stimulate Zhu Ling again.
Although Zhu Ling was very angry, he had no choice.
Helpless, Zhu Ling had no choice but to order camp outside the city.
Seeing Zhu Ling's tribe setting up camp, Chang Sun Sheng fully understood Zhu Ling's intention.
Afterwards, Chang Sun Sheng ordered the entire army to close the city and not leave.
At the same time, Changsun Sheng also sent soldiers to Hefei to report the news.
A few days later, Xue Li in Hefei City received a letter from Changsun Sheng.
When Xue Li learned that a troop of troops from the Northern Wei Dynasty had rushed to Shouchun, he quickly guessed Chen Deng's intentions.
"The Northern Wei army is not all incompetent. It's a pity that you have found the wrong person to use your strategy against me."
After saying that, Xue Li immediately sent people to the northern part of Lujiang County to look for Zhang Xutuo.
After that, Xue Li also packed up and prepared to go to Jundao County.
After Xue Li's military order was passed down, the generals in Hefei City began to prepare.
Three days later.
Xue Li led his troops from Hefei towards Jundao County.
As for Hefei City, Xue Li left Xiang Chong to guard it.
As Xue Li's army marched towards Jundao County, Xia Houyuan in Jundao County quickly received the news.
Chapter completed!
