Chapter 99 It came quite quickly

Daizhou.

Shangyang Mansion.

Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian stood on the city wall, looking at the imperial army from far to near outside the city, his eyes flickering.

"It came quite quickly."

Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian did not expect that after Lu Bu wiped out the rebels in Yanzhou and pacified Yanzhou, he did not take a moment to rest and directly came to Daizhou with a hundred thousand divine guards.

It seems that Lu Bu wanted to make a big move, and even Daizhou was immediately pacified, and he, the Xiaoyao King, was wiped out.

Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian thought, looking at the imperial army outside the city gradually approaching Shangyangfu City.

He looked at the three thousand black wolf-armored cavalry galloping behind Lu Bu; "This is the three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry led by Lu Bu to wipe out the Yanzhou rebels and put down Yanzhou!"

Next to him, the steward of Xiaoyao Tower who was following Xiaoyao Wang Zhou Qian nodded; "That's right, Your Majesty."

"Those are the three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry under Lu Bu's command,"

The manager of Xiaoyao Building said firmly.

Now the reputation of these three thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry under Lu Bu has been spread because they wiped out the rebels in Yanzhou and pacified Yanzhou in just three days.

Black wolf armor and black wolf horses are the most obvious features of Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

Therefore, it is easy to identify.

After Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian heard this, he couldn't help but praise, "You are indeed elite."

As the prince of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian had seen many cavalrymen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Regardless of whether they are the cavalry in the Shenwu Guards or the cavalry on the frontier, it is really rare to have the momentum of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

"I really don't know how many unknown trump cards my king's fifth emperor brother has hidden." Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian sighed unconsciously.

First came Lu Bu, a half-step heavenly man, and then Cao Zhengchun and Dongchang.

Now it’s Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry again.

These strong men and elites suddenly appeared again and again, which made Xiaoyao Wang Zhou Qian feel very uncomfortable.

Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian has always thought that he is much better than Zhou Chen, and feels that Zhou Chen is not worthy of sitting on that dragon chair.

But now it seems that he, Xiaoyao Wang Zhou Qian, seems a little self-righteous.

Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian looked solemn as he watched the one hundred thousand divine warriors led by Lu Bu stop uniformly not far outside the city.

"Our troops and horses are all ready!"

"Have the defense arrangements been made?"

One hundred thousand divine warriors, this is no ordinary counterinsurgency army.

Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian, as the Xiaoyao King of the Zhou royal family and the fourth son of the late emperor, naturally knew the elite of the Twelve Divine Guards best.

This was the basis for the Great Zhou Dynasty to suppress the world and intimidate the four directions. Even the border troops guarding the four borders were still slightly inferior to the Twelve Shenwu Guards.

Facing such an elite Shenwu Guard, even if Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian now has 200,000 troops under his command, he has to be cautious.

After all, Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian knew that the 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command were basically composed of ordinary people who had just put down their farm tools, as well as local military equipment and private soldiers from some aristocratic families.

Such two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, not to mention compared with the Shenwu Guards, are still far behind compared with the real soldiers of the state capital.

Therefore, in order to prevent Lu Bu from leading 100,000 divine guards to defeat and destroy them one by one and weaken his troops, Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian had already given the order to abandon the cities he had captured before and gathered all 200,000 troops under his command.

This is inside Shangyang Mansion.

Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian is going to have a showdown with Lu Bu's counter-rebellion army here in Shangyang Mansion.

After victory, he swept Daizhou, annexed Yanzhou, and looked down upon the world.

If you fail, everything will naturally come to nothing.

After hearing what Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian said, the general next to Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian immediately said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the defense has been properly arranged and the troops and horses have been mobilized."

"This city is just an iron barrel. No matter how elite the 100,000 divine warriors are, they can never break the city."

The general looked confident.

After hearing this, Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian nodded.

Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian knew the elite Shenwu Guards, and if he fought with the Shenwu Guards outside the city, he would definitely lose.

Therefore, Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian wanted to defend the city.

With the 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command, even if the Shenwu Guards were elite, it would not be that easy to break the city.

Maybe, we can even use this to kill these 100,000 divine warriors.

This is what Xiaoyao Wang Zhou Qian has in mind.

After Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian finished asking the general, he looked at the steward of Xiaoyao Tower next to him: "You will go out of the city later and deliver Prince Kang's body to the imperial army's anti-rebellion forces."

"Prince Kang's only wish before he died was to return to Luoyang."

"While he was alive, he could not go back, but now that he is dead, I will send him back to Luoyang."

"As his fourth emperor brother, this is the only thing I can do for him in the end."

Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian said quietly.

Being in the royal family can be so ruthless and helpless sometimes.

Maybe I can't help myself! But what's more, it's not the deepest ambition in my heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The steward of Xiaoyao Tower nodded.

…

outside the city.

Lu Bu led 3,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry and 100,000 Shenwuwei troops. After three or four days of rapid march, they arrived outside the city of Shangyang Prefecture without any hindrance.

Originally Lu Bu thought that Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian would set up defense lines between the various prefectures in Daizhou to block the advance of his counter-rebellion army.

As a result, unexpectedly, Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian not only failed to set up a defense line for his counter-rebellion army along the road, but also directly withdrew all the troops who had captured each prefecture back to Shangyang Prefecture.

Let Lu Bu directly lead the counter-rebellion army to the outside of Shangyangfu City without any hindrance.

Lu Bu understood the purpose of Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian's doing this.

This should be because King Xiaoyao was afraid that his armies scattered among the various prefectures would be wiped out one by one by Lu Bu, so he withdrew them all to Shangyang Prefecture, hoping to gather all his strength to fight against the counter-rebellion army he led.

This is exactly what Lu Bu wants.

He even led his troops to exterminate these rebels, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

There is nothing better than a battle to decide the outcome.

In front of the army, Lu Bu glanced at the densely packed heads on the city wall and ordered directly without expression: "The left army goes to the south gate, the right army goes to the north gate, and the rear army prepares siege machinery."

"The catapults move forward, the crossbows and archers are ready, and we will attack the city in half an hour."

Lu Bu wants to destroy Shangyang City in one go and destroy Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian.

Over and over again, three and three and exhausted.

Lu Bu understands this.

Even though the 100,000 Shenwu Guards marched hastily for three or four days, after entering the territory of Shangyang Mansion, Lu Bu slowed down and let the soldiers take a rest.

As a general who leads troops on horseback all year round, Lu Bu naturally knows how to maintain the momentum and combat effectiveness of his army.

He also understands the elements of siege: if you surround three, you will only need one.

Among the four city gates of Shangyangfu City, Lu Bu left a gap in the west gate for the rebels in the city to use as an escape route.

Otherwise, surrounding all four city gates will allow the rebels in the city to die.

In that case, no matter how elite the Shenwu Guards are, it will be very difficult to break through the city.

Not conducive to destroying the city.
