Chapter 862: Northern Expedition to Youzhou (24)
Lu Su waved at Zhao Feng: "Since the army is going to enter the city." ”
"Su will be there soon."
Zhao Feng nodded: "Go ahead." ”
Lu Su sighed, and then rode away from Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng's order had been issued, and it didn't take long for the three-way army to begin to divide its troops into the city.
Among them, at the east gate of Gaoyanagi, Lu Su led all the infantry, lit torches, and began to officially enter the city.
Zhao Yun led the cavalry and was still stationed outside the city.
At the west gate of Gaoliu, Tai Shici led the infantry into the city, and Hua Xiong led the cavalry to garrison outside the city.
After all, to maintain order in Takayanagi after dark, the cavalry had a limited role.
At the south gate of Gaoliu, 10,000 recruits trained by Lusu entered the city to maintain order.
As for Zhao Feng's personal guards, they naturally had to stay outside the city and garrison them.
Although Zhao Feng's army entered the city, the families and heroes in the city may not purge each other.
But what if the cleaning will continue?
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Zhao Feng will not enter the city at night.
Even if Zhao Feng wanted to, others would stop him.
Early the next morning.
A herald ran into the big tent of the Chinese army and waved at Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi." ”
"Captain Lu said that the city has calmed down, please enter the city!"
Zhao Feng nodded: "Let's enter the city!" ”
The herald arched his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After speaking, he ran out of the Chinese army's tent.
Wait for the herald to leave.
Zhao Feng looked at Xiong Da: "Send someone to inform Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong, let them lead the cavalry, go to the gate of Gaoliu North City, and greet Wang Ze and our army." ”
Xiong Dayi arched his hand: "Wow! ”
After speaking, he withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
Xiong walked away.
Zhao Feng also picked up the Demon Slaying Sword and walked out of the Chinese army's big tent.
It didn't take long.
Zhao Feng led the guard battalion, came out of the camp, and went to the south gate of Gaoliu.
The big camp is not far from the southern gate of Takayanagi.
In less than half an hour, Zhao Feng led the guard battalion and came to the south gate of Gaoliu.
Zhao Feng casually looked at the so-called battlefield, and felt that it was still presentable, and he should be able to fool the past.
Then he directly led his troops into Takayanagi City.
After entering the city, Zhao Feng saw a lot of corpses along the way.
This shows that although a large army entered the city last night to maintain order.
But there are still families and heroes, who are taking the opportunity to clean their opponents.
Judging from the clothing of the corpses, only a very small number of ordinary people were innocently implicated.
Seeing this, Zhao Feng felt that Lu Su's suggestion was indeed right.
When a large army entered the city, a small number of civilians were killed in the chaos.
If there was no army entering the city, Takayanagi didn't know what would have happened.
Shortly after entering the city.
A large army appeared in front of Zhao Feng.
From afar, Zhao Feng could see that the people who led the troops were Lu Su and Tai Shici.
After discovering Zhao Feng, the two asked the army to stop, and then retreated to both sides of the street.
Then he rode his horse directly to Zhao Feng and saluted Zhao Feng: "I have seen Zhao Zhou's 'lord'!" ”
Zhao Feng nodded: "Let's go to the Taishou Mansion together." ”
Lu Su and Tai Shici saluted separately: "Oh! ”
Then he rode his horse behind Zhao Feng.
The army came directly to the Taishou Mansion without hindrance.
Along the way, I didn't even see half a figure.
However, Zhao Feng was not very surprised by this.
After all, there was a purge in Takayanagi Castle last night, which will definitely scare the people.
Therefore, it is normal that no people come out to watch.
After entering the Taishou Mansion.
The guards stayed behind to maintain law and order in the Taishou Mansion, and the rest of the army went to various areas of Takayanagi to report the results of the battle and clean up the streets.
After all, the powerful families cleaned each other, and a lot of people died.
These works naturally have to be finished by Zhao Feng.
It didn't take long.
A herald ran into the hall of the Taishou Mansion and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”
"Our army ambushed the army outside the north gate of Gaoliu, and after a night of fighting, killed more than 7,000 people under Wang Ze's department, and the remaining 5,000 remnants of the army, together with Wang Ze, were all captured."
"Now it is outside the north gate of Gaoliu, and it has joined General Zhao and General Hua."
"General Zhao wants his subordinates to come and ask, how to deal with Wang Ze and these prisoners?"
Zhao Feng knew it as soon as he heard it.
These 7,000 soldiers who died in battle actually transformed into one of Zhao Feng's 16,000 soldiers.
After all, Zhao Feng didn't have the so-called ambush in the first place.
If there is no Zhao Feng's army, how can Wang Ze's remnants be escorted outside Gaoliu South City?
It's impossible for them to come and work on their own.
And after a night of 'big war', 7,000 people died on Wang Ze's side, and 4,000 people died on Zhao Feng's side, which is not too much.
In this way, the average number of deaths in the battles of Gaoliu's western, southern, and eastern gates was 4,000, and Zhao Feng's goal of 16,000 people was achieved.
This army of 16,000, which did not exist in the first place, also exists.
After all, it was a day of storming, and Takayanagi was a county town, and 4,000 people died at each gate, which was nothing at all.
If you use Gaoliu's actual strength, Zhao Feng's army, without 30,000 or 40,000 deaths, will not be able to take Gaoliu City.
Of course, we are talking about conventional warfare here.
It is precisely because there are too many people who will die in the siege that they will use strategy.
For example, the city gate is opened by fraud, and the city gate is flooded.
Or, use a catapult to smash open the gates.
All these methods can reduce the losses of the army.
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Let Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong 'escort' Wang Ze to the hall." ”
"In addition, let the army that ambushed Wang Ze guard those prisoners."
The herald arched his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
With that, he ran out of the hall.
Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong are the ones who know the details, so they know that escorting Wang Ze is just for show, and it won't be too much.
As for the so-called army ambushing Wang Ze's troops, it was originally Wang Ze's troops.
Therefore, the good life guards are also pretentious.
According to the report, Wang Ze's army in Gaoliu was 12,000 people.
Not too much, not too little.
The reason why it is not particularly much is because at the beginning of the feudal domain in Changshan County, he gathered an army of more than 27,000 people.
It is said that it is a lot, if the total population of Daijun and the total population of Changshan County are counted, in a certain ratio, there are indeed many troops of 12,000.
After all, Dai County is a border county, and the population here is naturally much smaller.
It didn't take long.
Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong 'escorted' Wang Ze into the hall.
Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong bowed their hands to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi, Wang Ze brings!" ”
Zhao Feng nodded: "The two of you have worked hard. ”
Then he looked at Wang Ze: "Wang Taishou, do you have anything to say?" ”
Wang Ze stood in the middle of the hall and snorted coldly: "It's just a matter of becoming a king or defeating a villain, there's nothing to say." ”
Zhao Feng said with a smile: "It seems that Wang Taishou is not very clear about the general trend. ”
"It doesn't matter, there will be time in the future, let Wang Taishou understand the general trend."
"I want to wait for the understanding to be clear, Wang Taishou will have something to say."
Then he looked at Xiong Da: "Stay with Mrs. Wang, so that you can live and settle down." ”
Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After speaking, he walked up to Wang Ze and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please: "Please!" ”
Wang Ze snorted coldly and withdrew from the hall with Xiong Da.
