Chapter 551: Sneak Attack on Guangling

Xuzhou, Guangling County, Dongtai County

Before dawn, Qin Zhao, Guo Chong, and Yue Shu stood on the deck and ordered their troops.

All the soldiers have already set up their formation and are preparing to attack the dock of Dongtai County, Guangling County.

Jiang Boya got the news and hurried over, "Are you planning to attack Dongtai County in Guangling?" It was so unexpected.

Qin Zhao replied to him, "Yes." This was the plan adjusted by the three of them after discussion.

Jiang Boya: "But didn't we agree to attack the East China Sea?"

Guo Chong said, "We have conducted reconnaissance and there is something wrong with the landing point you prepared for us in the south."

Jiang Boya, "What's the problem?"

Qin Zhao directly pointed out the shortcomings of the landing point they provided, "It is possible to land at that place, but it is difficult to transport food and grass. This war is about food and grass, and if the food and grass cannot be sustained, this is a hidden danger of defeat."

Jiang Boya turned around and said, "Then you can attack the docks in the East China Sea."

Guo Chong stroked his beard and said, "The docks in the East China Sea are now heavily guarded. Attacking them will achieve half the result with half the effort. It is better to take a roundabout way and land at Guangling, Xuzhou, and then attack Qutao in the East China Sea, which can still achieve the same goal." To contain the Jin king's military strength."

"The biggest purpose of our troops in Pingzhou is to contain the King of Jin. Let the King of Jin recall the troops and horses to encircle the Southland, and then we can relieve the danger of the Southland. After we adjust the plan, we can still achieve our goal." Qin Zhao said impatiently.

As long as the goal is achieved, you still want them to fight to the death with King Jin as soon as they come up? That's another price.

Jiang Boya was heartbroken, Pingzhou was really too shrewd, basically the type who didn't want to suffer losses.

Finally, Qin Zhao said jokingly, "Yes, when the imperial court learns that Xuzhou is attacked, it might immediately divide its troops to support Xuzhou. Wouldn't this just help Mr. Xie relieve the siege?"

Next, Jiang Boya watched as Yue Shu led his troops to capture Dongtai County with lightning speed, and then went to Jiangdu. Then, using these two counties as a base, he turned around and attacked Qutao, an important town in the north of the East China Sea.

The King of Jin received the battle report and quickly dispatched troops and generals to Qutao.

At the same time, the King of Jin also received news that Pingzhou might form an alliance with Nandi. He took it very seriously and sent all the troops he could mobilize to Qutao.

When the governor of Xuzhou learned that Dongtai and Jiangdu counties in Guangling had been attacked, he immediately sent troops to the adjacent four counties of Yancheng, Xinghua, Gaoyou and Guangling to strengthen defense.

The governor of Xuzhou had no intention of regaining the lost territory. The Pingzhou soldiers were well known to the world for their ability to fight. Furthermore, some of Xuzhou's soldiers were transferred by the emperor, so how could they have the strength to regain the lost territory? Now he only begs Pingzhou generals who have occupied Dongtai and Jiangdu to stop expanding.

The Pingzhou soldiers led by Qin Zhao, Guo Chong, and Yue Shu attacked two places as soon as they landed in Xuzhou. Jiang Boya thought that they would capture Qutao soon, but the situation was completely unexpected.

"This - you have already sent out troops, and you are not trying to expand the territory you occupy?" Jiang Boya could see that the Pingzhou soldiers did not attack the city with all their strength, and even the casualties were not large.

Jiang Jianya was puzzled. When they captured Dongtai and Jiangdu, they were so unstoppable. How could they be so lax when it came to attacking Qutao?

Qin Zhao drank hot tea and raised his eyelids when he heard the words. They were undisciplined here, but Xiaoliu had already sneaked into the East China Sea with his men. That was their Pingzhou battle plan. How could they tell him everything? ?

Guo Chong smiled and said, "Gada in the East China Sea is too far away from our Pingzhou. It's hard to defend even if we conquer so many territories, so there's no need to waste too many troops."

Unless Pingzhou can quickly go west and go south to bulldoze Qingxu Prefecture, they will be able to completely defend these territories.

Besides, aren't they occupying it?

Before the expedition, their governor told them that they could conquer the territory in the East China Sea area if they could, but they were not allowed to take the lives of the soldiers.

"Besides, isn't the effect now very good? Although we did not capture Qutao, the King of Jin sent many troops here. How many troops do we have to restrain him? At this time, he will definitely let the troops sent out to come back for reinforcements. of."

Jiang Boya sighed in his heart, Pingzhou's behavior did not violate the conditions of their alliance, right? They asked the other party to send troops, and the other party did so, but the other party did not follow their plan.

Southland

Fang Xinkai set out at starry night with a large force of 50,000 soldiers and horses.

They followed the secret path and meandered into the heart of the Southland.

This 50,000-strong army encountered an ambush while passing through a canyon on the only way.

Countless stones rolled down from both sides.

"Enemy attack! Be careful!"

"The general is deceitful!"

Fang Xinkai's face was livid, they had been fooled.

He slapped his confidant directly, "Didn't I ask you to investigate?"

"General, my subordinates have indeed investigated it."

"General, what should we do now?"

"Everyone, rush forward!"

Countless boulders rolled down, forcing them to rush forward.

After they rushed out a long way, the team was also rushed to pieces.

Xie Zhan appeared in front.

When Fang Xinkai saw Xie Zhan, he knew that he had fallen into his trap. He put his hand defensively on the big knife at his waist.

"Fang Xinkai, surrender, you are already surrounded!" Xie Zhan said softly.

Fang Xinkai laughed loudly. After laughing, he said to his left and right, "He said he surrounded us? We have 50,000 soldiers. What did he use to surround us?" Even though some of his troops were killed and injured because of the ambush just now, but He is not something Xie Zhan can scare.

Xie Zhan was not angry, "If you don't believe me, you can just look up on both sides and in front and behind to see if you are surrounded?"

Fang Xinkai looked up and saw that the walls on both sides of this long canyon were full of soldiers. In the morning dusk, he couldn't even see their heads.

"Fang Xinkai, in order to ambush you, I have deployed a total of 80,000 troops in front and behind this canyon. Depending on the terrain, will it be enough to destroy your 50,000 troops?"

Fang Xinkai was shocked, how could Xie Zhan have so many troops?

"I don't believe it, I don't believe you have so many soldiers and horses!" Fang Xinkai said loudly.

Xie Zhan tilted his head slightly and said, "General Yang, I'm sorry."

Yang Yingqin took a step forward and said, "Fang Xinkai, surrender."

Seeing Yang Yingqin, Fang Xinkai was stunned, and he suddenly understood.

Xie Zhan looked at the southwestern soldiers under Fang Xinkai's command, "Put down your weapons and surrender without killing!"

The soldiers in the southwest looked at each other and their general.

"The Emperor said that as long as you surrender and don't make any pointless resistance, he will let bygones be bygones! You were originally the people of Dali, and surrendering now is nothing more than abandoning the dark side and surrendering to the bright side. The Emperor is willing to give you a chance to redeem yourself!"

Hearing this, the soldiers were shaken.

Fang Xinkai knew that this was also meant for him, so he sighed and threw down his weapon first.

When the generals and soldiers under his command saw this, they all threw their weapons to the ground one by one.
