Chapter 158 Capture Yanzhou and attack Yuzhou

After Xuzhou fell, Zhang Zhao, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others all surrendered under Xiao Lan's powerful troops. Cao Bao, along with Xuzhou's Cao family, all became the dead souls of the Taiping Army.To Xiao Lan's surprise, the Zhuge clan who had not yet moved out of Xuzhou also joined Xiao Lan, and Zhuge Jin served in the Taiping Army.

Having won the Central Plains, which has always been rich and productive, Xiao Lan's Taiping Army can naturally expand without any scruples. The wealth of the Xuzhou government cannot be underestimated. They all fell into the hands of Xiao Lan. Moreover, what he got was not only wealth, but also the complete attachment of the people of Xuzhou.

As soon as the recruitment order came out, countless people came to sign up to join the army. Xiao Lan spent almost no effort to expand the army by 20 at one time and train it to become a regular army.

Ordering Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Jin, Mi Zhu and others to take charge of the government affairs of Qing and Xu states, Xiao Lan immediately ordered Wei Yan to lead a hundred thousand troops, with Liao Hua and Mi Fang as deputy generals, and Chen Deng as military advisor, to march forcefully into Yangzhou.

Immediately, Xiao Lan ordered Xu Sheng to lead troops to guard Xuzhou and build up a new army, while he personally led an army of [-] and led Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang, Zang Ba and others to march into Yanzhou with all their strength.

The army set out, but on the second day, before it entered the border of Yanzhou, Guan Hai led [-] Yellow Turbans to serve. Seeing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help being overjoyed, and organized the Yellow Turbans to be incorporated into the Taiping Army. Guan Hai came to accompany the army , Attack Yanzhou together.

Compared with Xuzhou, Yanzhou's defense is even more empty. Xiao Lan's army of more than [-] troops marched in, but within a few days, they occupied the entire Yanzhou, and Yu Jin came to join him.

After that, Liu Pi, Gong Du, He Man, and He Yi, the Yellow Turbans in Runan, Yuzhou, led more than [-] people, and the two counties in Runan surrendered to the Taiping Army. With an increase of [-] troops, the power has risen sharply in a short time, which is no longer under the heyday of the Yellow Turbans in the past.

With Chen Dao, Zang Ba, and Yu Jin guarding Yanzhou, Huang Zhong led Guan Hai, He Man, and He Yi with [-] troops to attack Chenliu, while Xiao Lan led Xu Chu, Zhou Cang, Liu Pi, Gong Du, and [-] soldiers. The army came straight to Yingchuan, and after two days and two nights of rapid marching, they finally arrived at the city of Yingchuan on the third night.

At this time, it was evening, and the night was dark, except for the twinkling stars, there was no light. The dim night, like a black curtain, tightly shrouded Xiao Lan and others in endless darkness.

Watching quietly, I saw soldiers on the city tower standing or standing in twos and threes. Some even leaned against the city wall with their spears and fell asleep. After all, Yingchuan County is in the hinterland of Yuzhou, and no one would have expected Yingchuan City. There will be danger, so the soldiers guarding the city did not pay more attention.

"Everyone, this battle must be decided quickly, and Yingchuan City must be taken as soon as possible, do you understand?" Worried that Boss Dong will soon be unable to hold on, and that the princes of the 70th Route may return to the army at any time, Xiao Lan naturally did not dare to delay for a moment After all, although the Taiping Army now has [-] million troops, the power of the princes from all walks of life cannot be underestimated!
For Xiao Lan, time is life. If Yingchuan is captured earlier, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and even Yangzhou will be connected together. Then, if the Taiping Army and others occupy half of the Han Dynasty, by then, it will not be possible. With the increase in military power alone, when facing the princes from all walks of life, they will naturally have more confidence.

"My lord, don't worry, I have already sent people to inquire clearly. The garrison of Yingchuan City is only five thousand, and we have a full army of thirty thousand. We are sneak attacking at night, and we will definitely be able to take the city." Seeing Xiao Lan's eyebrows Feeling faintly worried, Zhou Cang hurriedly spoke up.

"My lord, don't worry, the personal guard battalion under Xu Chu's command is not something that ordinary defenders can resist. The mere Yingchuan City can't stop us!" Confidence in one's own strength, perseverance and bravery, unshakable.

Xiao Lan said in a deep voice: "Although our Taiping Army has been almost invincible since the uprising, we can never underestimate our opponents at any time. Therefore, although there is only a city guarded by 5000 people in front of us, we Also, don't be careless, when you attack the city, you must reduce unnecessary damage."

Liu Pi frowned and asked, "Then, according to my lord's wishes, how should we destroy the city?"

"Wait, wait until early morning!" Xiao Lan ordered in a deep voice, ordering the whole army to hide their whereabouts and rest on the spot.Although everyone was puzzled, everyone in the Taiping Army respected Xiao Lan like a god. Since Xiao Lan gave the order, everyone obeyed the order and did not object at all.

The night was dark, and time kept passing by silently. Unknowingly, it had passed midnight and entered the early morning period. This was the time that Xiao Lan had been waiting for!

Taking a deep breath and calming his mind, Xiao Lan immediately ordered in a deep voice, "Xu Chu listened to the order, this commander ordered you to lead [-] personal guard battalions to steal the city, I don't know if you are sure to win the city for our army Door?"

"Yes!" Xu Chu responded impressively, and immediately led the troops out, taking advantage of the cover of the night, to sneak forward, with a hook and lock, and quietly approached the city wall.

At this time, it was late at night and early in the morning. Not only was the night dark, which was good for camouflage, but it was also the most difficult time of the day, and it was really the best time to steal the city.

"Go up." When he came to the city, the guards beside Xu Chuchong waved their hands, everyone understood, and the three hundred elite guards immediately dispersed, like a long dragon, along the corner of the wall, scattered in all directions, with hundreds of hooks and locks, At the same time, it was thrown onto the high wall, and there were bursts of jingling sounds. Although the movement was not loud, it was not inaudible. If it was in normal times, it would be easy to detect, but at this time, few people were really caught. disturb.

Xu Chu took the lead, and three hundred guards climbed up the rock along the hook locks to the city. Each movement was quick and brisk, making sure not to make the slightest noise.

As the army marched forward, the guards did a lot to steal the city. In comparison, Xu Chu, the new leader, was the worst skilled.

"What's that sound?" As the three hundred guards continued to climb up to the top of the city, someone finally noticed something strange and muttered curiously. Suddenly, he lost consciousness.

In the darkness, Xu Chu led [-] guards to kill the guarding soldiers on the top of the city, and headed towards the city gate. These people were all powerful, and they were the most elite troops under Xiao Lan's command. Coupled with the leadership of a tiger like Xu Chu, the combat power has increased even more.

The forward speed was very fast, and soon, they were forced to the vicinity of the city gate. The countless defenders along the way had already turned into the dead souls of the Taiping Army in their sleep.

"No, someone stole the city." Several guards were killed and injured in succession. Although Xu Chu and the others had tried their best to be careful, the other party still discovered Xu Chu and the others' intentions. Both eyes, before fully waking up, saw ferocious enemies bullying them. The sharp ice blades had cut through the vital points of their bodies, and blood splashed, taking their lives.

In the pitch-black night, there seemed to be countless black figures running on the city wall. The soldiers guarding the city couldn't react for a while, and they were full of panic.

"Seize the city gate!" Seeing that the city gate was close in front of him, Xu Chu didn't hold back at all, and immediately yelled loudly, and then he rushed out like a fierce tiger.

As one of the top fierce generals in the world, Xu Chuzhiyong is second only to Xiao Lan and Huang Zhong in the Taiping Army, and is enough to rank third. Even if he looks at the world, he is also enough to rank in the top ten. , Po Wanjun's fighting power is simply unstoppable.

Under the leadership of such a strong general, the three hundred personal guards suddenly increased their morale and their combat power.
The city gate guards who woke up, saw hundreds of fierce enemies rushing towards their faces, and one by one, they screamed in fright.

However, the enemy would not delay for the slightest because of their fear. Xu Chu immediately killed three hundred guards before the city gate. Closed the gate, opened the closed city gate, and lowered the suspension bridge on the moat...
