"The military city is just a small city. It is not a natural chasm, nor is it a dangerous and powerful city. The general will take it down easily if he takes action personally." A subordinate said flatteringly.

General Zhengnan lowered his head and took a sip of wine.

No one refuses compliments, and General Zhengnan is no exception, but this does not mean that he is a mediocre general who is easily carried away. On the contrary, he is a rare and smart senior general in the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have rashly allowed him to lead hundreds of thousands of Ming troops on an expedition.

General Zhengnan looked outside and saw that the sky was getting dark. He took another sip of wine and said calmly: "Tomorrow, we will mobilize another 50,000 troops and be sure to capture the military city."

"The general is wise!" Everyone bowed their heads in response.[

General Zhengnan didn't say anything, but in fact he had a conspiracy in his heart. However, the Ming Dynasty was constantly fighting internally, and the military was not a monolith. Many times, General Zhengnan thought more about how to check and balance.

But if the vanguard general cannot capture the military city before he arrives, he will replace him with someone else to lead the army.

However, General Zhengnan is very strange. According to observations so far, the resistance of the Han army in Yunzhou seems to be very weak, but the resistance in the military city is unexpectedly tenacious. Such a contradiction makes General Zhengnan

The general felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why for the moment.

General Zhengnan really wanted to see in person the Han Dynasty's military city and what kind of city wall it was. However, he had experienced many battlefield victories and failed to predict that he would never have the opportunity to go to the Han Dynasty.

At this time, the beauty's singing and dancing stopped. General Zhengnan suddenly heard a faint noise coming from outside the city.

General Zhengnan felt a knot in his heart and said, "Is it noisy outside the city?"

After hearing the general's words, everyone present stopped talking and listened quietly.

Sure enough, everyone heard bursts of noise, but it seemed to be quite far away and some could not be heard clearly.

"Come here," the general shouted.

A soldier came in and followed the order with his fists clasped.

"Check what happened outside." The general said. The soldiers received the order and immediately retreated to check what happened.

For a long time, this faint voice still came from time to time, and an inexplicable panic suddenly arose in the general's heart, floating faintly in his heart. The soldiers had not responded for a long time. General Zhengnan could no longer sit still. He refused

The beauty continued to pour herself wine and have fun. She stood up and walked out of the house. Seeing this scene, everyone present naturally could not continue to sit peacefully, and they all got up and followed the general out of the house.

At the door, the general's personal troops saw the general and rushed to his side. General Zhengnan waved his sleeves and said, "Follow me to the tower."

In this way, General Zhengnan marched towards the west gate of Nanyu City with hundreds of soldiers, plus the following generals, totaling over a thousand people. Not far from the west gate was the military camp of the Ming army, where at least 20 troops were stationed.

Ten thousand troops.

General Zhengnan's biggest worry is the 200,000-strong army. In the war with the Han Kingdom, it seems that it is the 200,000-strong army that is most likely to go wrong. After all, they are not under their noses, and the army is most afraid of it.

It means bombing the camp.

After General Zhengnan and other generals boarded the tower of Nanyu City, they looked over and saw that not far from the west gate, they saw that there were many military barracks not far away from the west gate. They were densely packed with fires inside the camps. This was where the military tent of the Ming army was located.

This seemingly peaceful scene really makes it difficult to tell what happened at the military camp.

"Is there any reward? What happened in the military camp?" General Zhengnan asked the soldiers around him.

"Report!" Before the soldier could say anything, the soldiers originally sent to investigate just came back.[

"What's going on?" The general was shocked for no reason.

"The vanguard general was defeated." The soldier replied.

"What!" General Zhengnan was in disbelief, "How many troops are there in the Han army?"

"I guess, but according to the words of the defeated soldiers, the Han army used evil magic." The soldier replied.

General Zhengnan clenched his fists, looked at the camp in the distance, and asked, "Why is it so noisy in the military camp?"

"The general in the camp received a message from the vanguard general and learned that the Han army was about to leave the city, so they are preparing for the battle." the soldier replied.

General Zhengnan's expression did not change and he said: "Go back to camp."

"General, the situation is unclear. Please be patient. Why don't you send someone to find out the situation first?" A staff member quickly spoke to stop him.

The general paused, thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to find out the situation." After speaking, he took out a token and handed it to the soldier who was delivering the order, and said, "Give this token to Hu Kui.

General, let him control the three armies."

The current situation is unclear, and General Zhengnan has no other options, knowing that he can only trust his subordinates at this time.

"Yes!" the soldier said after taking the token.

Here, the vanguard general was rushing out of the mountains with his defeated troops. The soldiers who ran quickly arrived near the military camp of the Ming army. When the Ming army sentries saw the vanguard general's routed troops, they were suddenly shocked.

Shocked, he quickly led a few broken soldiers to the camp.

The army of General Zhengnan is stationed in Nanyu City. Although he was sure of victory in this battle before, he always arranged for his proud protégé, General Hu Kui, a protégé of the Ming Emperor, to garrison the army.

The Ming army camp outside the city.

The sentry quickly took these defeated troops to the center of the camp to see General Hu Kui.

As soon as the defeated soldiers saw General Hu Kui, they hurriedly knelt down to report the military situation, informing General Pioneer that all the 50,000 troops under his account had fled. Moreover, the defeated soldiers also told General Hu Kui an important piece of news. The spider monster sent by the Han army was...

Chase behind them.

When General Hu Kui heard this, he knew that the situation was extremely bad. He was shocked and immediately ordered the army to line up to fight. When they stepped out of the camp, they saw more and more Ming troops retreating. In just half an hour,

, the number of defeated troops who returned from the desert was less than a few thousand. This scene made General Hu Kui's heart become heavier and heavier.

These thousands of defeated soldiers only brought fear that disrupted the morale of the army. Seeing this, General Hu Kui became angry and immediately ordered these defeated soldiers to be gathered together and organized into an army in an attempt to stabilize the morale of the troops and allow them to continue to fight.

.

However, these defeated soldiers begged to be allowed to leave. They were willing to be deserters.

Seeing that they had no fighting spirit, General Hu Kui was about to send out a team to supervise the battle. Unexpectedly, General Pioneer and other senior generals also ran out of the mountain in a state of panic.

General Hu Kui jumped on his horse to stop the vanguard general from escaping.

"General, I am defeated." The vanguard general's uniform was in disarray and his appearance was completely ruined. His eyes were full of panic and dejection of defeat. When he saw General Hu Kui, he said immediately.

"What on earth has happened? As a dignified general, he is so panicked!" General Hu Kui was furious and shouted loudly.[

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." The vanguard general knelt down in panic. Then he said in horror: "General Hu Kui, lead your troops back quickly."

General Hu Kui frowned, pointed at the nose of the vanguard general and cursed: "How bold! How dare you disturb the morale of the army on the battlefield! You are a seven-foot tall man, but you are still shrouded in corpses on the battlefield. You are still heroic. Look at you,

How shameless is it to be as cowardly as a mouse and help the enemy become more powerful!"

"You don't know!" the vanguard general shouted with a pale face. He was very unhappy. Others said he was timid, but this time he could only grovel: "It's not that my subordinates retreated without a fight, but that they are invincible.

"

"Go away, I will report it to General Zhengnan and severely punish your crime. If you continue to confuse the public with your evil words, I will behead you immediately." General Hu Kui whipped his horse whip to the ground, furious.

The vanguard general immediately fell silent, but still whispered: "You will regret it."

General Hu Kui glanced at the vanguard general with disdain and ignored him. Instead, he immediately turned around and shouted loudly to the army: "Send the order, the Han army is approaching, and the entire army will line up to fight."

"Fight!" As the messengers kept relaying the message, the entire Ming army shook their fists and immediately prepared for war.

General Hu Kui ordered a general to first lead the 10,000 soldiers directly under him to line up at the exit of the mountain to meet the enemy.

Just when he was arranging his troops, the soldiers of General Zhengnan brought the troop deployment order. General Hu Kui was even more happy when he saw this. He felt that General Zhengnan allowed him to mobilize the entire army at this time, so he also responded to this.

He was very sure of the war and had great confidence in himself. His heart suddenly increased greatly. He immediately mobilized his troops and generals, divided the 200,000 troops into several squares, and formed an encirclement around the mountain exit.

However, just as the Ming army was getting ready, General Hu Kui suddenly discovered that the Ming troops who had been guarding the first wave seemed to have seen something terrible.

And escape!

At this time, the sun had completely set and the sky was already dark.

In this case, several spider machines suddenly sprang out from the dark mountains together, just like a savage beast coming from the darkness suddenly appeared in front of them. It can be imagined that the impact on the psychology of the Ming army soldiers was huge.

.

Various rumors about the rout of the vanguard generals had already caused panic among the soldiers of the Ming army. When faced with such a frightening incident, these leading soldiers of the Ming army were even more vulnerable than the soldiers of the vanguard generals, and there was almost no resistance.

, it collapsed at the first touch.

General Hu Kui never thought that the soldiers under his direct command who were comparable to death squads would actually become deserters. He was extremely surprised. In order to suppress the soldiers from retreating, he immediately dispatched the supervising team to scare the deserters: "The supervising team took the order.

If you see a deserter, you will be killed without mercy!"

The supervising team of more than a thousand people immediately stepped forward to stop the retreating troops.

However, the defeated troops were not afraid of the supervisors who controlled their life and death. They still rushed back one after another, as if they would rather be hacked to death by the supervisors than face the enemy again.

General Hu Kui had never encountered anything like this during his many years of fighting. When he was about to go to force back the deserters in person, he discovered that even the supervising team had also panicked and fled in panic!

In this dark night, General Hu Kui could not clearly see what was ahead, but he knew that the situation was extremely bad. At this time, he couldn't help but think of the last words of the vanguard general, and he was suddenly filled with doubts.

Suddenly, two huge black figures suddenly appeared hundreds of steps in front of Hu Kui.

In the dim firelight, Hu Kui was horrified to find that there were two huge spiders in front of him.

He finally understood what the vanguard general meant!

General Hu Kui wanted to retreat for a moment. But when he turned around and saw that he was leading the army, even though he was frightened, he had to suppress the panic and immediately ordered thousands of his soldiers to rush forward with spears and torches.

Stop the giant spider.

Unexpectedly, the giant spiders ignored the spears and torches and continued to move forward without stopping at all. Nothing could stop them.

"General, monster." More and more soldiers standing next to General Hu Kui saw clearly who their enemy was and said in horror.

"So what if it's a monster!" General Hu Kui said sternly, "Even if it costs people's lives, these monsters must be killed. Come on, whoever can kill one of them will be rewarded 10,000 gold."

However, just when General Hu Kui tried to inspire the morale of the troops again, a series of firecracker-like sounds sounded all around.

bang bang bang

Thousands of defeated soldiers who were originally standing in front of General Hu Kui but a hundred steps away from the giant spider suddenly fell to the ground.

When the Ming soldiers standing behind him saw this, they no longer cared about General Hu Kui's encouragement, and their morale plummeted. Although their superior, General Hu Kui, could not bear the fear in his heart, he had no intention of leading his troops to retreat, and instead ordered the entire army to retreat.

Charge forward! The soldiers had to hold on to the weak weapons in their hands to face the enemy.

It's a pity that they can't cause any harm to the spider machine. These monster spiders are actually invulnerable to water, fire, and invulnerable to weapons and bullets. When encountering such monsters, no matter how elite the Ming army soldiers are, they are not willing to sacrifice their lives.

General Hu Kui was horrified to find that not only his place, but also the Ming troops in other squares were under attack.

The disparity in strength completely wiped out the fighting spirit of the Ming army. More and more soldiers began to ignore the general's orders and retreat wildly backwards.

General Hu Kui can no longer control the morale of the army

The worried General Zhengnan had been on the tower, waiting for the news from General Hu Kui. However, it was already dark and there was still no movement in front of him. General Zhengnan gradually felt uneasy.

Sure enough, half an hour later, news came from General Hu Kui's men that the 50,000-strong army led by General Pioneer had been routed, and General Pioneer had led the routed troops around the city and retreated to northern Yunzhou.

General Zhengnan was immediately furious and ordered that the vanguard general must be captured alive and brought back to Nanyu City to engage in military law.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers brought news that the Han army had sent out troops, and General Hu Kui's 200,000-strong army retreated! Hearing this, General Zhengnan fell slumped on his seat.

But this was far from the time for him to slowly digest the news of defeat.

When the Ming army that fought in the military city was defeated and fled in chaos, the Han army that was ambushing in Nanyu City took advantage of the situation and rushed out. With its superior strength, it broke down and defeated the Ming army in Nanyu City step by step. This army was composed of Zhengnan University

The Ming army led by the general arrived in Nanyu City less than two days before they were all defeated. Wei Qubing led tens of thousands of Han troops and easily captured Nanyu City. Nanyu City was once again occupied by the Han army.

In the end, more than 100,000 of the Ming army, including the conscripted civilians, were captured. The Ming army that retreated from Nanyu City had to continue to flee north.

After occupying Nanyu City, the Han army did not stop and continued northward. With the help of spider machines, they broke through the city gate and occupied the northern city of Yunzhou in one fell swoop.

The Han army showed no mercy. Not only did they completely eliminate the traces of the Ming royal family in Yunzhou, they also sent more than 10,000 Han troops to garrison to threaten Chengzhou in the north of Yunzhou. Chengzhou was the granary of the southern Ming Dynasty.

As soon as this news came, the Ming Dynasty court was shocked. The Ming Dynasty emperor was furious and could not tolerate the dignity of the court being trampled on. The emperor issued an edict that he should personally conquer the country and asked all states in the Ming Dynasty to immediately mobilize troops to form a hundred troops.

Wan Dajun is ready to go to war.

Not long after the Han State occupied Yunzhou, Guanzheng immediately issued a decree, issuing the original decree on the occupied area that was implemented in Nanyu City to the entire people of Yunzhou, and regarded Yunzhou as the territory of the Han State.

Perhaps because of the encounter in Nanyucheng, the resistance in various parts of Yunzhou was not very strong. Under the conscious drive of the Han army, the Ming army collapsed and most of them withdrew from Yunzhou. Without the restriction of the Ming army, Yunzhou locals

Almost all the powerful people surrendered as if resigned to their fate. Not only that, some families, like the Nangong family, surrendered to the Han army. This accelerated the submission of the people of Yunzhou.

On this day, Du Le finished taking care of the island country and took the time to teleport back to a foreign land, hoping to collect energy stones and virtual helmets. When he learned that the territory of Han had once again expanded and occupied Yunzhou, he was extremely surprised.

.

Du Le learned about the development of the whole thing from Guan Zheng. After learning that it was the Ming army who took the initiative to attack, while the Han army first showed weakness to lure the enemy, and then defeated the enemy in one fell swoop, Du Le was very pleased and ordered a merit review of the soldiers who had made meritorious service in the war.

Give reward.

In fact, the Han army did not destroy many Ming troops in the battle. There were 300,000 Ming troops and more than 200,000 civilians, and there were only less than 50,000 Ming casualties. The number of Ming troops injured by the spider machines was not even a thousand.

People. Most of the Ming army officers and soldiers were so frightened that they panicked and even trampled on each other, or even slashed their colleagues with swords in order to fight for an escape route!

This was a great victory for the Han State! Such a battle greatly inspired the people of the Han State.

No matter how big the Ming Dynasty was, it was still no match for the Han Dynasty.

Although most of Yunzhou is a mountainous area, the fertile farmland still occupies half of Yunzhou's territory, which is extremely important strategically. Therefore, Du Le decided to turn Yunzhou into a mine and farm for the Han Dynasty.

Farm centralization is implemented in Yunzhou.

Regarding governance, Du Le agreed with all the strategic plans formulated previously. Du Le was not greedy. As long as the Ming Emperor was willing to negotiate peace and cede Yunzhou, the Han army could promise not to send troops to attack the rest of the Ming Dynasty.

This is because in less than two years, the Han State developed extremely fast. It not only annexed the Qi State and the Jin State, but also occupied Yunzhou. However, although the Han State's policies were good, there were still too many newly occupied places, and the Han army's current strength was still

Not enough to control that many places.

Du Le wanted to expand the territory, but he absolutely did not want a chaotic situation, and there were too many wars, which was extremely inappropriate for the newly established forces. Therefore, he forced the Ming Emperor to negotiate peace.

is the best way.

When he learned that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was going to personally conquer the country, Du Le knew that the opportunity for the Han Dynasty had come. (To be continued...
