Chapter 39: Fengzhou Annexed
Houshu over there was busy defending and preparing for war, and the sergeants of Da Zhou here were not idle, when they were busy taking Fengzhou. (.)
The Great Zhou is really handsome and strong now, not only the Great Zhou's own army is fighting, but even the Shu army that surrendered to the Zhou army has also joined the battle camp of the Zhou army.
After Wang Jing, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Xu and others entered Qinzhou, only a small number of Zhou troops were left to be responsible for the defense of the city.
The rest rested for a while, and immediately advanced, advancing into the two states of Cheng and Jie, and expanding the results of the battle.
At this time, the original defenders of Qinzhou were disrupted and incorporated into the army of the Great Zhou after some brainwashing by Zhao Xu and Miao Xun.
This is not counting, under the monitoring of the Great Zhou army, Zhao Xu and the others also let Zhao Wei and other generals lead a former Qinzhou garrison to attack Cheng and Jieerzhou.
Zhao Wei and others also understood that it was only the Zhou State that was examining themselves, and although they surrendered the city, they might not be able to gain the complete trust of the Great Zhou.
Let them attack the city and the two states together, it is a test for them, or this war is their vote to the Great Zhou.
Don't you really take refuge in my Da Zhou, now give you a chance to show it, you give me a chance to take it down.
The generals of Shu also understood this meaning, so they all used twelve points of strength to finally take down the two states of Cheng and Dai under the condition of half a dozen and half persuasion.
Okay, next they are going to complete the last goal of this expedition, Fengzhou, after taking Fengzhou, Da Zhou will completely complete this western expedition.
At this time, the defenders of Fengzhou are very abundant, and the guards are already very strict, which is much stronger than the previous three states.
After Emperor Meng Chang learned that Qinzhou would surrender without standing, he immediately appointed Wang Huan as the envoy of the mighty army and Zhao Chongpu as the capital eunuch, and immediately rushed to support Cheng and Jie.
Just when Wang Huan and the two soldiers hurried to Chengzhou, they had already received the news of the fall of Chengdu and Jiezhou.
The two of them saw what was the point of going to Cheng and Jieerzhou now, they were already occupied by others and were hungry, so it was better to turn the horse's head and surround Fengzhou!
When Wang Jing and others led the army to the city of Fengzhou, Wang Huan and Zhao Chongpu had already obtained the military power of Fengzhou and took on the mission of defending Fengzhou.
Wang Huan and Zhao Chongpu are definitely not dry meals, and the entire Fengzhou is like an iron bucket.
Wang Jinghe and Xiang Xun had already launched a fierce attack on Fengzhou City for several days, and the troops had also attacked the city countless times.
But every time he was about to cross the city, he was beaten down by Wang Huan and Zhao Chongpu, who took the lead.
The Zhou army suffered heavy casualties for a time, and suffered the biggest setback since the Western Expedition, even but Hu Li's defeat was not as large as the number of casualties this time.
Wang Jing and the others deeply regretted it in their hearts at this time, why didn't they let Zhao Kuangyin, father and son, participate in this battle?
It's good now, I and the others have lost their troops, and I didn't bite the bullet to invite them backreads;!
It turned out that before attacking Fengzhou, Wang Jingxiangxun and others agreed that this was the last battle of the Zhou army, and it was no longer necessary to let Zhao Kuangyin and his son participate.
Since the father and son came to the Northwest Battlefield, they have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and Zhao Kuangyin needless to say, he is brave and strategic, and he is invincible on the battlefield.
The key is that his son Zhao Xu is a little monster, you look at the three states we attacked, which one of them does not have his shadow.
Let's just talk about recovering Qinzhou, it was Zhao Wei who he went into the city alone to persuade him, and the whole army knew that this time Chengzhou and Jieerzhou were persuaded by him to surrender before the battle.
As a result, I also know that we have succeeded again, what else do we have to do in this way, and we will go to the northwest for a while, and the great credit is yours.
It's like marrying a daughter-in-law, I built a house, found a matchmaker, gave a dowry, held a banquet, and I was almost done, but it became you Zhao Xu who entered the cave room.
This credit can't be taken up by your father and son, this time Wang Jing and Xiang Xun combined, and let Zhao Kuangyin and his son go to escort the army's grain and grass.
Zhao Kuangyin's father and son also understood their intentions, and they didn't feel unfair in their hearts, anyway, the merit of the master is enough, so I won't fight with you, just take a break.
After a few days of idleness, Xiang Xun came to the door, if not for anything else, but to invite them to attack Fengzhou together.
Their credit for attacking Fengzhou in advance is also very great, but if it is too late, even if Fengzhou is taken, the casualties will be very large, and it will be strange if Chai Rong does not blame them at that time.
Because just now Bianjing came with another holy decree, Chai Rong had appointed his close confidant Han Tong as the capital of the southwest camp Ma Bujun Yuhou, and came to Fengzhou City to assist Wang Jing and Xiang Xun.
And they were asked to recover Fengzhou as soon as possible and reduce the casualties of the soldiers.
They wondered, why did His Majesty send Han Tong to help in the war, is it not satisfied with our war?
It must be like this, otherwise who will be sent, thinking of this, the two of them felt that it was urgent to capture Fengzhou.
When Zhao Kuangyin and his son saw them coming, they also knew their intentions, and they also wanted to end this war as soon as possible and return to Bianjing as soon as possible.
Zhao Xu's advice to them is really simple, cut off their food, grass, and water sources.
The two of them are afraid of brains, yes, we only know a strong siege, and we don't know how to think of other ways.
Let the people of their city eat and drink, and where the food and grass come from, and the water from whence they come, and it is said that there is not much water in the city, and they must go out to get water.
After figuring it out, the two immediately sent people to investigate, and it turned out that the city went to a river outside every few days to fetch water, and at first everyone didn't pay attention to it at all.
At the same time, the supplies of Shu were also transported from the northwest angle, and the previous spy Jun Ran did not find these.
After getting this information, Wang Jing frowned first, why didn't he think about this before?
Then he was happy again, this is to control the water source and grain routes, the Shu army will be able to break itself, he immediately sent his cadres to lead troops to these places.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to see a team of Shu troops coming to fetch water, and there was no suspense, and all these Shu troops were captured alive......
At the same time, the grain trucks of the Shu army were also rounded by the Zhou army, and now there was chaos in Fengzhou City.
The people had no water to live and cook, the soldiers lacked food and water, and a feeling of sadness began to spread in the city, and no matter what could be stopped.
Zhou Junneng even ate and drank in front of the battle, and shouted at the same time, so that the people in the city could come here to receive water and dry food.
At first, no one dared to go, but after a man who was too hungry to hold on went out of the city to eat a full meal, and returned safely.
Someone began to slowly pour out of the city.
Wang Huan originally wanted to kill these people who went out, but was stopped by Zhao Chongpu.
What he meant was that he couldn't kill all the people, and besides, they were just going out for a meal, and it wasn't a big deal.
At first, it was only the people who did this, but later there were soldiers who secretly changed into the people's clothes and went out of the city.
In the end, some actually surrendered to the camp of the Zhou army openly, these Wang Huan. Zhao Chongpu knows everything, but he is already powerless.
Seeing that many soldiers here had a different mind, everyone was a soldier for something, not for food and clothing.
Now that you can't eat, drink, or watch, who can still work for you? Besides, the soldiers of the Great Zhou are strong and strong, and our broken city without water and food can hold out for a few days.
Many people came down from the city at night and secretly ran to the Houzhou camp to beg for surrender. The pay was not bad, and it inspired some soldiers even more.
Zhao Xu felt that this was a good opportunity, he thought that Wang Jing suggested that he could attack Fengzhou immediately, and Wang Jing personally led the team to suddenly launch a general attack on Fengzhou City.
At this time, the troops at the head of Fengzhou City were weak, and after a few days of lack of water and food, the body had already lost its strength, and its combat effectiveness had dropped significantly, and it was soon rushed to the city by the Later Zhou army.
This time, Wang Jing personally supervised the battle, and the Hou Zhou army moved forward bravely, and soon occupied the gate tower of Fengzhou and successfully opened the gate of Fengzhou!
Meng Chang did not know people in the past, but this time he appointed Wang Huan and Zhao Chongpu were very conscientious.
This can be regarded as the proudest thing he has ever done in his life.
After capturing the city of Fengzhou, Wang Huan and Zhao Chongpu immediately led their personal guards to engage the Zhou army in a desperate street battle. Most of these people are their own soldiers, living and dying with them.
But the heroes can't beat the crowd, but it's a pity that their numbers are too small, and they are not the opponents of the Great Zhou army at all.
After suppressing the sporadic resistance of the rest of the troops in the city, Wang Jing sat in the center of the city, and Zhao Xu and Xiang Xun led the army to besiege Wang Huan and others and launched a fierce attack on them.
Under Zhao Xu's attack, Wang Huan's soldiers were basically annihilated, and Wang Huan was also injured under Zhao Xu's sword.
Zhao Chongpu was also captured alive by Zhao Kuangyin, and his attempt to commit suicide was unsuccessful, and the old man vomited blood and fainted.
Fengzhou is now back in the hands of Da Zhou! Since then, the task of the westward expedition has been largely completed.
