Chapter 226

Zuo Shence marched eastward from Chenzhou to Bozhou, and then surrounded Bozhou. He surrounded Bozhou to provide aid, and wiped out 50000 reinforcements from Wang Xianzhi's Department of Songzhou with ambushes.

This move greatly deterred the enemy, and no one dared to rescue the fengjiang Department of Bozhou. The Shence army has only surrounded three cities and lacked one, and sent 20000 prisoners of war to attack the city day and night with their flesh and blood, fill the trenches outside the city, consume the anti thief strength and military heart in the city of Bozhou, as well as the city defense materials such as arrows, rolling logs and stones.

The continuous high-pressure operation made the war of prisoners of war more than ten thousand. Even before the battle, a rebellion broke out, which was easily suppressed by the Shence cavalry and killed two thousand. More than 20000 prisoners of war ended up with less than 6000. The effect was outstanding and the morale of the enemy in the city was low. At this time, the main force of Shence army really began to attack the city.

First, the newly built and unstable city wall will be attacked with a catapult. After the city wall collapses, an arrow tower will be arranged to suppress the thieves near the collapsed city wall.

Later, the prisoners of war were asked to push the large nest car and ladder close to the city wall, and the elite of divine strategy was hidden in the nest car and ladder. At the same time, taking this as a breakthrough at the collapsed city wall, the prisoners of war marched in front of the shield array, followed by the death squads of the Shence army.

This is the main soldier to attack the city. At the same time, at the weak place of the thief army on the other side, it will attack the city in the form of cave. This is a strange soldier.

Qizheng coincides with Zhengbing. Zhengbing attracts more and more thief troops to this bloody battle, and Qibing quietly enters the city underground. After the fierce battle, the thief army didn't even arrange the soldiers to attack the city in the cave.

After that, Qizheng coincided, internal and external attacks, and the thief army collapsed. Feng Jiang, the leader of the thief, led the disabled soldiers to flee from the only empty gap, but they were ambushed by the cavalry on the way.

Feng Jiang was captured alive. Except for those who died in the war, the rest were captured as pioneers to attack Xuzhou City.

After a little trimming, before sending troops, lingchi thief head Feng Jiang and other leaders of the thief army were sacrificed to the military flag.

At this time, I have heard that the thieves of Puzhou in Song Dynasty counterattacked and counterattacked, captured bianzhou City, killed the newly established state assassin, and gathered 100000 troops to attack Gyeonggi road and cut off the supply of Zuo Shence.

The news spread to the Shence army, and Li Chengye's words on that day became a reality. The officers and men had great differences on whether to return to Dongdu or continue to advance eastward.

Although the city of Bozhou has just been captured, the food and grass plundered by the thieves in the city is still enough for the Shence army to use for one month, but the prisoners of war are counted out.

In this regard, Zhang Zhen did not ask Li Chengye's opinions, but waved his hand and said to continue to move eastward and conquer Xuzhou!

As for the issue of food and grass for prisoners of war, Zhang Zhen believes that it is not a problem at all. Since they chose to fight the imperial court, they were lucky to survive. How can they have so many conditions.

No food? That is, the strong will naturally survive, and the weak will become the food of others. Who will care?

As soon as he said this, even the most cruel soldiers in the army were surprised and their backs were cold.

Princess Shouning objected on the spot, but her objection was meaningless. Zhang Zhen did not make any refutation, but strictly ordered the baggage team to guard the food and grass. The prisoner camp will solve the food and grass problem by itself from now on.

The army marched eastward. At first, 30000 prisoners of war were hungry and anxious on the road, so they rebelled on the spot. However, when the organization is disrupted with bare hands and dizzy with hunger, where can it be the opponent of the left Shence armed to the teeth.

Kill more than 1000 people in public, and no one dares to act rashly. However, what is more terrible is that more than 1000 people buried in the pit after death were dug out that night. At night, the POW camp lit a bonfire, and the disgusting smell of meat even floated into the Shence camp with the night wind.

Even the soldiers who are determined enough to smell the smell of meat and see the far-off POW camp full of demons can't help feeling terrified.

Wei Ran, Li Guangsi and bu Lanshan didn't know what happened in the POW camp until that night. Li Chengye deliberately concealed the matter and didn't inform them after the military discussion, so they didn't know it all the time.

After knowing this, I was naturally shocked. Wei Ran deeply understood the contents recorded in the madman's diary for the first time and had a big quarrel with his father Li Chengye.

Li Chengye openly told Wei Ran that since the whole army chose to attack Xuzhou and take this risk, it had to do everything to ensure victory!

Now the food and grass are limited and the rear road is cut off. If we fight back and fail, the whole army will disappear here!

He spoke out all the winning and losing relations with absolute reason and almost coldly. This makes Wei Ran difficult to accept, but he knows that at this time, there is not much choice. I returned to my camp. I just hope this damn war can end early!

Bu Lanshan personally went to find Zhang Zhen and talked about it. Zhang Zhen was very domineering. In a few words, bu Lanshan was sarcastic, and even the two moved their hands.

Zhang Zhen's martial arts are so high that he is weak. After suffering a dark loss, he takes off his sword and leaves the camp angrily.

Princess Shouning learned what had happened in the prisoner of war camp and expressed her unwillingness to go to Xuzhou with the army. We are willing to recruit rural regiments to garrison in Bozhou, communicate with local gentry, collect food and grass, and guard the back road of Zuo Shence.

After some military discussion, Zhang Zhen and Li Chengye both approved the decision of Princess Shouning, leaving 3000 elite cavalry and disabled soldiers in the army to garrison Bozhou with the princess, while the rest continued to attack Xuzhou.

Princess Shouning ordered several generals to stay with her, including Wei Ran, on the pretext of no military affairs.

Zhang Zhenyuan wanted Wei Ran to set out on this trip to attack the city first and commit murder. But in the name of the creator of the field hospital, the princess said that his talents must be used, and Zhang Zhen had to let go.

It seems that Li Chengye also smelled the ominous smell of various events on his way, left Li Guangsi together, and divided half of his family members to stay in Mizhou.

The army continued to move forward

Wei Ran didn't have too many opinions about his inability to go to Xuzhou. The affairs in the army completely broke his personal moral bottom line. No matter how rational people are, they can't accept it.

Staying in the city of Bozhou, Princess Shouning, with her unique charm and political skills, persuaded the only large and powerful local manors. They sent out a total of 3000 regiments to train troops and once again supported some military food.

This number of people is enough to guard the city of Bozhou, but Wei Ran feels that the future is really worrying. In case the front line is defeated, it will only be used as a place to stay. After all, the back road to the East has been cut off. Unless the blockade can be broken, staying in Bozhou City is just surviving.

More than ten days later, a wounded Knight came to Bozhou City, bringing the worst news.

The Shence army's attack on the city is unfavorable. When it is under the strong city, its morale also decreases with three drums.

One night, the prisoners of war in the inner camp suddenly broke into chaos and cooperated with tens of thousands of elite thieves lurking outside the city to attack the camp at the same time.

Although the camp was not lost, more than half of the grain and grass originally enough for a month was burned. After the thief army left the city, with 300000 troops, they dug trenches and deep bases overnight to trap God's strategy.

Zhang Zhen leads 3000 elite riders to break through the encirclement, and the enemy intercepts in batches, consuming horsepower. Although he broke through the siege later, his horsepower was exhausted. Suddenly, he was attacked by the elite cavalry of the attack camp that day, and the whole army was destroyed.

Zhang Zhen disappeared due to the recruitment of Henan Road

At present, the remaining Shence army is being besieged by the thief army in the north of Xuzhou. The temporary leader is Li Chengye. However, the morale of the army is low. There is no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside. In fact, it is in a desperate situation!
