Chapter 430: Seize the City

In Jingzhou City, General Cheng Qun’s headquarter. In the spacious lobby, fully armed generals were gathered together, sitting upright, in the center, Cheng Qun’s eyes were slightly closed, leaning against the tiger-skin chair, and his fingers were rhythmically tapping on the big table. The tick-tick sound seemed particularly clear in the quiet lobby.

Finally it began! Cheng Qun was actually extremely excited under his calm appearance. From the moment he sent the navy to set off from Jingzhou City, he understood that the decisive historical moment for the Great Yue and the Mongolian Yuan was about to begin, and this battle would determine the national destiny of both sides.

For this day, he burned his boats and carried out a large-scale cleaning between the Jinwu Guards, Baotao Guards, Qianniu Guards, and the leading guards. A total of 138 generals with the rank of guerrilla generals were cleaned, either killed or imprisoned. A large number of young generals were promoted to serve as commanders of this operation. Through this cleaning, the four guards had actually become Cheng Qun's army. Li Jian's many years of operation in the army was cleaned up between the two generals of Cheng and the other three guards.

This battle can only be won, not defeated! Cheng Qun understood that what he bet on was not only the national destiny of Dayue, but also the wealth, life and political future of his and other senior generals of the Three Guards. If they lose, they will be infamous for thousands of years, and if they win, they will be famous in history.

Dayue can be replaced with another emperor, but Dayue's absolute victory over the Meng people was something that Dayue people dreamed of for hundreds of years. If it were still Li Jia in the dynasty, Cheng Qun would definitely not have the courage to do this, but now it is Li Jian, who is coming to power by coup. From the bottom of his heart, Cheng Qun did not have any sense of awe. This was also when Yao Changkun asked him to make a choice, he chose to abandon Li Jian without hesitation.

As Yao Changkun said, this opportunity to defeat the Meng people is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As a general of Dayue, it is an irresistible temptation to completely defeat the Meng people and incorporate the desert into the territory of Dayue. According to legend, there is a unique world at the other end of the desert. Perhaps one day, the military flag of Dayue will be inserted into that place.

The Jingzhou Navy did leave, but the so-called leaving full of soldiers was an illusion. On those warships, except for a few real people, most of them were scarecrows covered in armor. In addition to Jiang Guangyu's Leopard Guard in Tengchong, Cheng Qun's main force, Jinwu Guard, the leader guard, Qianniu Guard, all of which were secretly gathered around Jingzhou City. Their main target was the Mongolian army's large tent soldiers who sneaked into Jingzhou City.

The essence of the Mongolian army in the big tent soldiers was also the most critical part of the Mongolian Yuan's calculation of the Vietnamese army this time. In Yun Zhao's plan, the first step was to concentrate its efforts to knock out this force. The number of Mongolian Yuan's big tent soldiers was not large. There were only 50,000 people in total, and 40,000 people were dispatched this time. Almost all of them were out of full force, destroying this force. Not only did it lay the foundation for the victory of this battle, but more importantly, it would have a very significant impact on the power structure of the Mongolian Yuan.

The Mongolian Yuan royal family, which had lost the support of the big tent soldiers, would no longer be able to control the Mongolian Yuan court. For the Mongolian Yuan, which had the most powerful force, an emperor without strong strength would definitely become the object of calculations for each tribe.

Winning this battle can severely damage the Mongols, but it cannot completely eliminate them. Then, you must create civil strife in the Mongols to the greatest extent in order to make profits in the later stage.

Cheng Qun was amazed at Yun Zhao's plan. This battle not only focused on solving the imminent Mongol invasion, but also laid the foundation for the complete resolving of the Mongol Yuan troubles in the future. It is hard to believe that such a grand and long-term plan was actually the hands of a young general who had only been in the army for several years.

This boy is definitely not a thing in the pool! Cheng Qun sighed in his heart. Perhaps this person will become another source of turmoil in Dayue! Thinking of this, Cheng Qun couldn't help but shake his head. No matter what, this is a later story. Now, the most important thing is to solve the problem of the Meng people. Once the gun is on the outside, let's first eliminate external worries!

There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the lobby, and all the generals in the lobby breathed a long sigh. Waiting was the most tormenting. Cheng Qun's fingers that knocked on the big case also stopped and his eyes were fixed on the door of the lobby.

"General, the soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan tent have begun to cross the river!" A lieutenant excitedly reported loudly to the generals in the hall.

Cheng Qun stood up suddenly: "It's time to start, all the generals obey orders!"

The sound of iron armor hitting sounded in the lobby, and dozens of senior generals Bi Ting stood in front of Cheng Qun.

Heinke Fengchi Dizhi was on the road leading to Jingzhou City, south of Cangjiang, in the heart of Dayue, with extremely convenient transportation. The wide road was built with three-mix soil and was extremely strong, and the width was enough to allow four or five war horses to advance side by side. On both sides of the road, the green crops were growing vigorously. Houses on both sides of the road were continuous, with green bricks and green tiles. Farmers who had gotten up early were carrying hoes and were walking out of their homes. The sudden sound of horse hooves made them stop walking towards the farmland. They looked at the cavalry on the brigade and the flying Mongolian Yuan flags on the brigade. It was obvious that they were shocked. They stood there dumbly, looking at the cavalry team moving forward quickly on the brigade, forgot to shout, forgot to hide, and carried farm tools like this, opened their mouths, and looked at Heinke and others.

Heinke was very satisfied, which represented the suddenness of their arrival. The Dayue people had no preparation at all. It would be a very smooth and easy thing to seize Jingzhou City.

The big dog of a farmer suddenly barked and rushed out of the yard, rushed towards the avenue, and shouted at the rushing cavalry. Heinke laughed, drew his bow, drew his arrow, and with a whoosh, the barking dog wailed and fell into the fields on the roadside. The big dog fell to the ground, causing the dull farmers to instantly reflect. They shouted loudly, threw away the furniture in their hands, and ran towards their homes. With the sound of the banging door closing, the doors of each family were closed instantly. The village that had just boiled immediately became quiet, and some smoke columns in the chimney also disappeared in the next moment.

Heinke laughed and rushed forward. Now, it is not the time to deal with these farmers. After taking down Jingzhou City and defeating the Dayue army, these wealthy Dayue people will become their lambs and ask for it. The wealth of the Dayue people made him a little jealous. These people are just the lowest-level farmers, but their wealth has already made Heinke, the centurion, envious. Soon, you will be mine. Heinke thought in his heart.

Behind Heinke, nearly 20,000 cavalry were coming continuously. On the bank of the Cang River, the troops behind the hall were pushing wooden cuts into the river. Countless armor, weapons and other objects were pushed onto the wooden cuts and advanced south of the Cang River. These wooden cuts will be dragged ashore later, dragged from war horses to the city of Jingzhou to attack the city. These woods will be made on the spot into ladders, chariots, wood and other objects to siege the city. For this attack, Linya's army also brought thousands of craftsmen.

Countless cavalry rushed over, and the wide road surface obviously could not carry such traffic. The crops on both sides of the road were ruthlessly stepped down, like a group of black locusts, and the Mongols and Yuan cavalry rushed to Jingzhou City.

Heinke saw the city walls of Jingzhou City. Compared with the tall city walls on the border, Jingzhou City is obviously much shorter. Obviously, Jingzhou City is located in the heart of Dayue and has the natural danger of Cangjiang. The people of Dayue are much more careless in protecting the city walls. Perhaps they never thought that the Mongol cavalry would attack the city of Jingzhou in this way.

Heinke excitedly drove the horses and ran towards the city far away. He heard the sudden alarm bell on the city wall, saw the soldiers running in a panic on the city wall, and saw the soldiers guarding the city gate at the city gate that were running towards the city. He shouted loudly, destroying the war horses, and at the same time pulled the bow and arrows on the war horses, aiming at the soldiers at the city gate.

The city gate is slowly closing. Maybe he can snatch the city gate and kill the soldiers in the city by himself. Heinke thought so.

With a whizzing sound, the feather arrows flew out at lightning speed. He saw soldiers falling to the ground and seeing the injured soldiers being dragged into the city. But to his regret, the city gate was finally closed tightly before he arrived, and he could even hear the sound of the heavy railing inside being racked.

With a circle of horse heads, he walked around the city, looking for his target. The city was very quiet. All the soldiers who had been running in a panic were gone at once. Nothing could be seen except the flying battle flag. It was so quiet that it made people rash.

How could there be no one? Heinke was puzzled. No matter what, Jingzhou City is an important city of the Dayue people. There should be many soldiers here. Maybe they were scared away by our soldiers! Heinke thought to himself that he always shook his nose for the combat effectiveness of the Yue people. Of course, perhaps the Anqing border army in Yizhou should be excluded, but those people have been fighting on the border, which is obviously not on the same level as the food army in the mainland of Dayue.

"Go!" Heinke made a gesture. The soldiers under his command knew how to defeat the war horses and charged forward. When they were more than ten meters away from the city wall, the soldiers immediately jumped up and flew forward with the help of the horse's forward momentum. The soldiers flying in the air waved their arms, and anchor claws flew out with long ropes. With a sound, they hooked on the city wall. The soldiers were like a big bird, swinging in the air. At the moment when they were about to hit the city wall, they kicked out, stepped on the city wall, and moved up quickly. The city wall was covered with Mengyuan soldiers like geckos in an instant, biting a scimitar in their mouths and climbing upwards alternately. Heinke held a bow and arrow in his hand, looking at the city warily.

Behind him, the sound of thunderous horse hooves continued to sound, and more and more cavalry were coming, and more and more people joined the ranks of attacking the city walls.

Dongdongdongdongdong! The sound of the war drums suddenly sounded above the city wall, and rows of soldiers suddenly appeared on the quiet city wall, holding sharp swords and slashing heavily at the anchor hooked on the battlements.

Heinke was shocked, and the arrows in his hand were flying up the city in a row.

"Kill!" A series of shocking shouts erupted from the city. (To be continued...)
