The distance between Wachui Village and Dangcheng is not too far, and Zha Jie and his soldiers only walked for a day and a half before arriving in Wachui Village.

Tang Ning brought 2,500 soldiers from the Zhenjiang Army, and the rest of the brothers all stayed in Wachui Village.

After the battle with Zajie, there were very few soldiers who were not wounded. These two thousand five hundred people also belong to the short ones who choose generals, and all of them will participate in the next action with the army.

Two days later, the army arrived in the city, and 6,000 soldiers and horses were divided into two teams to escort the 8,000 prisoners of the Zajie Division.

When the city is worthy of being a big city in the south of Qingtang, more than 10,000 people have entered the city, and there is no feeling of crowding.

These 8,000 people are not difficult for You Shixiong. All the affairs of the city, You Shixiong doesn't care. After the entire Dangcheng was defeated, You Shixiong took some grain, cattle and sheep, and handed over the city to a group of Qingtang people who supported the Song army.

And the 8,000 captives brought by Tang Ning were handed over to these 8,000 people, on the one hand, it was easy to do trouble, and on the other hand, he would not dirty his hands.

On 15 April, the rested army set out again. This time, the target is Yonekawa Castle in the west of the city.

The military strategy designated by You Shixiong is not to cooperate with Chen Qing and others, they will attack Huangzhou and attack Michuan City, all of which have nothing to do with him You Shixiong.

His goal is to take Kuozhou, take Kuozhou, and go to the Jishi Army to grab some food, and then he can really fight Qingtang City with Chen Qing, so that Ali Gu will not escape.

Therefore, after Tangning's Zhenjiang army was merged into the Youshi Xiongsuo Division, it was also about to begin to march to Kuozhou.

Originally, there was a Danan city along the Yellow River, which was also a city occupied by Aligu. But Danan City is on the other side of the Yellow River, and it doesn't make much sense to take it down.

Besides, the Qingtang people on the south side of the Yellow River didn't know that there was a war going on here, and they couldn't help countering the rebellion there.

You Shixiong has been secretly funding the rebel tribes over there all these years, such as the ordnance eliminated by the border army, most of which were given to the Qingtang rebels over there.

Ali Gu has always had a headache with the rebel tribes here, but the Tiangao Emperor is far away, and he has no way to deal with the Qingtang people in that area for a while.

The civil strife in Qingtang has fallen into a very embarrassing situation, and what Ali Gu has the ability to destroy basically does not exist. The rest of them will have to be destroyed in a protracted war.

Originally, Ali Gu felt that he had a lot of time, but the Song army suddenly launched an attack at this time. Ali Gu knew that the Song people had been plotting for a long time, but no one expected that the Song people would launch an attack after the new emperor had just succeeded to the throne.

This is also the reason why the Song army has been winning victories since it began to march.

On 23 April, the unsuspecting city of Yonekawa was declared lost by a surprise attack by the Song army. The lord of the city fled in a hurry, but was captured by a small force of cavalry of the Song army.

During a ritual to worship the sky, the city lord of Michuan City and his subordinates were beheaded on a platform built by the Song army in the city, and their bodies were hung for three days, and no one dared to step forward to untie them.

Only the vultures took advantage of the dead of night to fly down and peck one or two, and after three days, the corpse had turned into a pile of white bones.

However, there were still some Qingtang people who escaped, and after Kuozhou divided his troops to support Huangzhou, the remaining 50,000 garrisons were assembled and stationed near the city of Kuozhou, preparing to engage the Song army.

At the same time, the offensive on the northern front against Huangzhou was also victorious. The city of Shuzong was broken, and the entire east of Miaochuan City belonged to the hands of the Song people.

Five days later, You Shixiong waited for the 20,000 reinforcements sent by the Song army from Hezhou in Michuan City, and then began to march towards Kuozhou City.

With 30,000 to 50,000, in terms of the comparison of troops, the Song army suffered a great loss.

An encounter broke out between the two armies on the outskirts of Kuozhou, forty-five miles south of Kuozhou, in which the Song army, who had just made a long journey and had not had time to rest, suffered from it, but fortunately the Qingtang cavalry was the majority, and the Song army occupied a nearby mountain.

Therefore, the Qingtang people did not beat the water dogs, but Mingjin collected his troops and stationed nearby.

You Shixiong regretted it a little, he was still too light on the enemy.

A day earlier, he had received a report from the scouts that the Qingtang people of Kuozhou had begun to move towards this direction. You Shixiong thought that the main forces of the Qingtang people had gone to the northern front to support Huangzhou, and the Qingtang people who stayed in Kuozhou should not be very powerful.

So he didn't take it seriously, continued to march, and fought with them if he couldn't fight.

As a result, he was beaten by the Qingtang people, which made You Shixiong very depressed.

Since he started dealing with the people of Qingtang, he has never suffered such a big loss.

After dinner in the evening, You Shixiong couldn't wait to find a meeting with the senior generals.

Tang Ning, as the commander of the Zhenjiang Army, was also qualified to participate in this meeting.

So he came up with a plan, when he was in Wachui Village, he was dragged by the people of Wachui Village, and You Shixiong went to attack the city, so why not repeat the old trick now, and divide part of the troops to attack Kuzhou City?

You Shixiong said that this method is good, so he will do it according to this. After speaking, he looked at Tang Ning.

Tang Ning blinked, and when he saw that the other generals were looking at him, he knew that this time he must have done it.

So he had to get up and ask for his life, and You Shixiong also pushed the boat down the river and agreed.

In addition to the 2,500 Zhenjiang troops that Tang Ning himself carried, You Shixiong also distributed 5,500 people to Tang Ning, enough for 8,000 people, brought a day's rations, traveled lightly, and rushed to Kuozhou City at night.

In the night, a Song army came down the mountain from the back slope, the big tent of the Qingtang people was far away, and the moon tonight was blocked by dark clouds and could not emit a little light.

Therefore, the Qingtang people did not notice the departure of this force at all.

In order to stop the Song army near this peak, Kuozhou dispatched 45,000 men to meet the Song army.

In fact, this is also a disguised bluff, there are forty-five thousand people who intercept you alone, you think about how many defenders we have left in the city.

However, You Shixiong didn't accept this, because Wu Desi had already told him that there were only 5,000 defenders left in Kuozhou City.

When Tang Ninghai set off and arrived at Kuozhou City, it was exactly Yinshi. It was four o'clock in the morning, just before dawn and people were dying.

Including the defenders of Kuozhou City, they were also yawning and dozing off with teary eyes.

So Tang Ning asked the soldiers of the Pingxia Battalion to take tools and climb the city wall in the dark.

After all, nomads are not suitable for living in tall walls, so their walls are not very high.

Standing below, shoot the hook with a crossbow tied to an iron hook, and hook it to the city wall, and then it is time for the performance of the summer camp.

However, the clanging sound also alarmed the defenders of Qingtang.

Hurriedly picking up the torch, he saw an iron hook hooked on the battlement.

The soldier first turned his head and shouted warnings, and for a moment the entire city of Kuzhou was awakened by his shouting.

Then he reached out to get the hook down. But he couldn't break the hook because he pulled it so tightly, so he looked at the rope on the hook and prepared to cut it.

But at that moment, a hand came up from the battlement, grabbed the man by the neck, and dragged him down.

After Gao Shu climbed the city wall, he faced the Qingtang soldiers who rushed over with torches on both sides, spat and raised his knife to meet him.

Under the city, the Song army elbowed the Zhenjiang soldiers on the side, looked up at the soldiers of the Pingxia Battalion who were climbing up the rope and said, "You newly formed Zhenjiang Army, everyone knows this ability?" ”

The Zhenjiang soldier shook his head and said, "It's not a joke, it's the Pingxia Battalion, they are amazing." Most people can't get into ~ Pingxia camp if they want to enter. ”

"Ping summer camp? It sounds like a scary name. ”

"I heard that this name is still given by the official family, and I also want to enter ~ Pingxia Camp, they eat much better than us. When it comes to training, their training volume is more than two or three times more than ours, and they are tired like dead dogs after practice. ”

"Tut-tut......" Song Jun said with emotion: "Then your general is also a ruthless person." ”

As he spoke, except for some embarrassing crawlers and falling, the rest of the soldiers had already boarded.

After a fierce hand-to-hand fight with the defenders of Qingtang, he finally captured the location of the gate that controlled the city gate.

With a creak, the gate of Kuozhou City opened.

Tang Ning shouted, and the Song army, which had been waiting for a long time, screamed and slaughtered into the city of Kuozhou......
