Chapter 509: Two-front attack
The next thing is very clear.
Tang Ye and Yang Ke ascended the city, which had already made the soldiers on the city tower into a mess. In addition, the head of the main general's sword was cut off, which made the soldiers lose their morale.
In addition, taking advantage of this time, more and more soldiers climbed the city tower, which naturally made the defenders of Lingxue City retreat one after another.
In the end, Tang Ye and Yang Ke killed the city tower and opened the city gate, and since then, the first city on the border of Zheng Jin's forces has been broken.
The remaining defeated army, led by the rest of the generals, fled through the southern city gate.
Tang Ye did not pursue, and after letting the soldiers enter the city, he quickly resettled all the wounded soldiers, so that the wounded could be recuperated as much as possible.
This practice was once again unanimously appreciated by the officers and men. However, in fact, winning the hearts of the people is only his plan on the one hand, and the main reason is that after the previous war between Liu Pei and the Tripartite Alliance, the number of conscripts is now much lower than before.
That's why Tang Ye cherishes the source of soldiers so much.
At this point, Tang Ye's 19th city finally attacked after spending nearly 8,000 casualties.
Nearly 5,000 soldiers were captured in the city, which can be regarded as making up for some losses in troops.
Just when everyone was resting until the evening, Zhuge Gu hurriedly came to the City Lord's Mansion to find Tang Ye.
He glanced at Ma Feng, who was accompanying him, and said to Tang Ye without hesitation:
"Lord, there is definite news from Jiang Yao. General Doufo has successfully signed an alliance treaty with Jiang Yao! And they also say...... Lu Yaocheng is an alliance gift to us. ”
Hearing this news, Tang Ye didn't show too much surprise on his face. After all, these are all predictable things.
"But Jiang Yao's old thief is indeed cunning enough, and he actually said that Lu Yaocheng was a gift to us. We invisibly inherited a favor from him. Tang Ye said with some dissatisfaction.
Zhuge Gu shook his head: "We don't need to care about this unwarranted favor at all. After all, our occupation of Luyao City was before the establishment of the Alliance. These are the agreements reached by the Alliance, please take a look. ”
Tang Ye took the letter handed by Zhuge Gu and motioned for the other party to sit down before opening the letter.
Above is Liang Xue's notes, vigorous and powerful, and the font is like a dragon. The main content of the letter is some alliance content that the other party has discussed with the other party as an envoy.
The duration of the alliance is six months, during which the mutual forces establish agricultural and commercial relations and exchange ideas.
In addition, they are not allowed to attack each other for six months, and they are not allowed to do anything that violates the friendship of the alliance.
And as long as you pay enough money, you can help attack other cities.
…… After a general understanding of the various matters of the alliance, Tang Ye put the letter on the table, looked at Zhuge Gu and said:
In this way, I believe that Jiang Yao will soon have a battle with Zheng Jin's forces. However, it will take a long time for them to mobilize their forces, so we need to narrow the border between Jiang Yao and Zheng Jin's forces as much as possible before the other party, so that we can justifiably take more cities!" ”。
Zhuge Gu nodded, and had no objection to Tang Ye's opinion.
At this time, Ma Feng, who was acting as an audience member on the side, suddenly spoke: "In addition to Lingxue City, we have nearly 100,000 troops, and Lu Yaocheng in the rear has also transferred 100,000 troops from Tianci City, the speed of our one-line attack is too slow after all, if we want to close the border line as much as possible, it is better to divide the army into two and attack on two lines at the same time." ”
