Chapter 182 Seizing the City (End)

After the city gate fell, there was no suspense about the subsequent development of the situation, and it was even less exciting.

As the "Wang" flag was lit on the top of the city, Yu Jin, Zhang Rao and others who had already been ready to go in the distance also led an army of nearly ten thousand horses to attack, and they also entered the city in an instant.

When the various ministries of the Heavenly Army converged again, they had completely encircled the remaining several thousand Kaiyang troops. Even if they fought steadily and gradually ate away, they still quickly cut the remaining officers and soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables. Those who were killed were routed, or died or surrendered.

From the time when Jing Yi entered the pass, until the inner and outer cities of Kaiyang fell successively, every important place was occupied by the heavenly army
A total of less than two hours before and after.

This siege battle was won very easily, and it can even be said to be the fastest since Wang Zheng's many sieges.

Of course, the loss is not small.

Especially the deaths and injuries that basically happened to the system soldiers, made his heart ache again.

Why did Ma De die so many again?

Looking at the number that decreased again on the system panel, Wang Zheng actually knew the reason, but his heart was still bleeding.

Although the capture of Kaiyang used countermeasures, it was even very effective.

But when all the officers and soldiers swarmed out in the follow-up, in order to firmly hold the control of the city gate, the Tianzhu camp still fell into a hard fight.

Of course, the Tianzhu Battalion with nearly a thousand people insisted on supporting the continuous offensive of three or four thousand officers and troops, and even the opponent dispatched countless weapons, but still completed the mission and persisted until Yu Jin and other ministries all entered the city.

And for this, what they paid was actually only a loss of less than 200 people.

If it is spread out, it will be enough to make other princes and heroes in this world dumbfounded.

It was not until the moment when all the soldiers under his command, the heavenly army and the ground army had entered the city, that Wang Zheng finally let go of his breath.

The big picture is set!

Not long after, when the Japanese army began to clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses, Wang Zheng strode into the Kaiyang County mansion under the guard of all the soldiers.Until he sat down calmly and flipped through the files on the several cases that recorded taxation and population, he was filled with emotion in his heart.

From the moment the idea of ​​jumping out of Qingzhou, planning to go east and take Xuzhou arose, Langya was the most important part of his plan.

As for Langya's central Kaiyang, he has long regarded it as a taboo that cannot be lost.

The scene of entering the city, Wang Zheng had imagined many times in his heart, and he had absolute confidence in the existence of the system.

That must be something that is just around the corner.

But until this moment when he really became the Lord of Kaiyang, Wang Zheng still felt somewhat unreal.

This is different from Linzi.

Even if Linzi is more prosperous and majestic than Kaiyang, even the price paid for capturing Linzi is far better than capturing Kaiyang.

But at that time, Wang Zheng knew very well that he was only a passerby in Linzi for the time being.

Because the nearby princes, no matter Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, or Cao Cao, would never sit back and watch the Han Dynasty fall into the hands of the bandits and ignore them.

But Kaiyang is different.

This time, he won't be a passerby in a hurry!

I finally have a base!
On the second day after the war, Wang Zheng did not let his generals indulge in the taste of victory for too long. The former county guard's mansion became the place for the military meeting of the Heavenly Army.

Kaiyang has already been controlled, and together with the four counties of Linyi, Dongguan, Dongan, and Yangdu, it can be said that nearly half of the entire Langya Kingdom has been occupied by the Heavenly Army. Such a brilliant record has been created in less than a month. In the lobby, everyone is in a happy mood and excited, and the atmosphere is more harmonious and relaxed.

At this time, Xu Fang and Yu Jin were summarizing the various data in the process of capturing the five cities.

"So far, the various departments of our army have killed a total of 730 and five people in several battles, including 640 and nine seriously injured"

"After the five siege battles, the captured ones, removing the completely damaged ones and needing to be smelted, roughly counted as more than [-] long-handled weapons, more than [-] sword weapons, and armor."

After listening to the report of the two, Wang Zheng just nodded and smiled, looked around at the crowd, and set the tone first:
"In the next period of time, after taking down Jiqiu, we can take a little rest."

In a short period of time, the various divisions of the Heavenly Army almost fought two consecutive battles, including after Yu Jin and others selected the three counties, and after they entered Kaiyang, they also fought a big battle. , has basically reached the limit.

As for the Tiangang Army and the Tianzhu Camp, despite the support of the system, as long as Wang Zheng gives an order, they can still continue to fight non-stop, but Wang Zheng himself is not willing to part with it.

After all, system pawns are his real base and biggest reliance.

Furthermore, after occupying Kaiyang, the population and wealth of this city will need time to digest. In addition, now that the route from Dongguan to Kaiyang is fully opened up, the Heavenly Army can retreat and defend, advance and attack. No matter what the situation is, you can deal with it calmly.

It's not them who should be anxious now, it should be Xuzhou Mu Taoqian who is in the East China Sea!

First of all, he was defeated by Cao Cao just last year, how many people can he have now?
Secondly, how many people will Tao Qian mobilize to subdue Langya?

You know, even if Lu Bu and Cao Cao are fighting fiercely in Yanzhou now, Pengcheng still has to stay in some of the important places in Xuzhou that cannot be lost. In Guangling County, which borders Yangzhou, Tao Qian may not dare to mobilize any troops, lest they be killed by Yuan Shu. Sneak in.

So here comes the question, how many Xuzhou soldiers can we transfer to deal with ourselves?
Therefore, Wang Zheng only needs to capture Jiqiu County next to Donghai County, and then arrange generals and troops to guard it, Tao Qian basically has nothing to do with him.

Wang Zheng has even thought about the candidates.

"The general's analysis makes sense. Tao Qian is currently limited to internal and external difficulties. He will most likely choose to stay in the East China Sea and will not act rashly." Xu Fang also agreed with Wang Zheng's judgment, but added:
"However, we must also beware of Tao Qian asking for help!"

"What does the pharmacist mean?" Wang Zheng looked over thoughtfully, "Beihai?"

"Exactly!" Xu Fang nodded, and said in a deep voice, "When Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian last year, the last general heard that Kong Rong had already sent troops to help him because of his friendship with Tao Qian."

"Now that we are waiting for the rebels to invade the country, I am afraid this person will not stand by and watch."

Wang Zheng thought about it thoughtfully, and was about to speak when Zhang Rao laughed and said, "Major Xu is too worried, Kong Beihai is probably powerless now."

"Oh?" Hearing that it was really dark, everyone looked at Zhang Rao in surprise at the same time.

"How do you say that?" Wang Zheng also asked in confusion.

"General Tiangong." Zhang Rao replied in a respectful voice, "When the last general returned to Qi County that day, he received the news that Guan Hai had brought thirty thousand Yellow Turbans to the North Sea."

"The last general and this Guan Hai. Hey, there was some rift, so I pay special attention to this person's movements."

"A few days ago when the general ordered Yangdu to attack, some people who will stay in Qingzhou sent back news. At this time, Beihai is surrounded by Guan Hai, and it is difficult to protect itself!"

You have a lot of backs
Does Qingzhou still have eyes and ears?

Wang Zheng looked at Zhang Rao strangely, but he was just a little surprised. After all, Zhang Rao has already entered the system, even if there are some channels and abilities that he does not know, it is beneficial and harmless anyway.

"That's very good." He smiled and looked at the crowd: "That's it, the whole army rests for three days, and then they can go straight to Jiqiu."

"If we grasp the southern throat next to the East China Sea, we will have no worries, and we can attack with all our strength and take Pengcheng straight!"

"promise!"
