Chapter 746: The Battle of Jiaozhou 2

When the Shanyue tribes saw Xu Shu, Xin Ping did what they said and fulfilled all the promises before, so that the Shanyue tribes of each tribe had more confidence and loyalty to the jurisdiction of Xu Shu's army. Because there were many waterways and mountains in Jiaozhou, it took several months for the Xu Shu army to accept the entire territory of Nanhai County.

Shi Xie collected more than 20,000 defeated soldiers and retreated to Yulin County. In addition, more than 10,000 defenders from the former Yulin County, he found that he had only a little more than 30,000 troops; Wu Ju was very depressed and led more than 35,000 defeated soldiers to retreat to Cangwu City, and even had a fuss with Shi Xie, which was a great benefit to the next attack of Xu Shu's army.

After Xu Shu's army was rested and supplemented in Nanhai County, civilian officials who handled government affairs also took their place and gained the full trust of the tribes of Shanyue. Xu Shu led the army to kill the generals towards Cangwu.

At this time, Hepu County was also captured by Zhou Tai's army and fully accepted the Hepu areas.

There was no problem with the attack of Hepu City. Although the troops were a little less than Shiyi, Zhou Tai's army had explosives to blast the city wall, so they also used nighttime blasting. Just like Xu Shu's attack on Nanhai City, Shiyi and Shikuang and his son were awakened in their dreams. It was too late to get up to organize the soldiers to resist.

Zhou Tai led the army into the city long ago. Before the defenders in the city had woken up from panic, they were killed by Zhou Tai's army. The sergeant Yi was killed by someone. His son Kuang Ze fled alone to Yulin City, and finally collected more than 10,000 miserable soldiers. The remaining more than 20,000 soldiers were either captured or killed.

Then Xin Ping handled various government affairs in Hepu, and Zhou Taizhe led his army to accept the counties. This took several months. The roads in Jiaozhou are too difficult to walk!

When Xu Shu's army arrived at the outskirts of Cangwu City, they used long-distance weapons such as strong bows, crossbow arrows, stone casting cars, stone bombing cars, crossbow beds to shoot Cangwu City, so that the soldiers guarding the city on the wall could not raise their heads at all. The Wu Ju soldiers guarding the city had no way to do anything. Their archers and the archers of Xu Shu's soldiers and the crossbow archers were not on the same level, and our shooting distance was much farther than theirs.

The walls of Cangwu were hit by stone carts, and the throwing carts were smashed into a mess. Oil bombs burned on the walls. Xu Shu promptly asked the soldiers to throw bags of sand into the moat, and in less than two days, the moat was filled with the square foot. All the traps set by Wu Ju were cleaned up and they were waiting for the next siege.

There was no difficulty in the siege. Xu Shu brought nearly 50,000 troops this time and blocked all four gates. Wu Ju's more than 40,000 defenders in Cangwu City had lost all their confidence and had no desire to win. The soldiers knew that it would be a matter of time before the city was broken.

In addition, in recent days, Xu Shu had his soldiers shot hundreds of letters into the city, and dozens of crimes were killed, and various laws under Lu Ning's rule were told. In addition, the evidence of businessmen who had business dealings with Lu Ning's rule made most of the people in the city believe that the policies implemented under Lu Ning's rule were true and that there were no taxes. Not only did the people welcome Xu Shu's army into the city, but even a large part of Wu Ju's soldiers welcomed Xu Shu's army into the city.

When the four doors were blown open at night, the people in the city said on the flyer that every family would close the door, and the soldiers would find a place to hide when they should. They would kneel down and surrender to avoid losing their lives. After the battle, Wu Ju was captured, and Xu Shu held a public trial meeting in Cangwu City and beheaded him.

In the past few days, Xu Shu's troops were rested and the food was replenished. Xu Shu led the emperor to lead the army to set off from Cangwu and attack Yulin County. In Zhou Tai, the troops were launched from Hepu County and killed the generals towards Cangwu County. In this way, Shi Xie and Shi Kuang, who were hiding in Yulin County, were indeed attacked by two front and back troops, and it would be a bit difficult to escape.

The second army directly accepted the small towns of various counties and towns in Yulin County along the way. Because the people sent by Xu Shu were very effective in their work some time ago, the people in Jiaozhou benefited and benefited. Everyone knew that there was no tax on farmers under Lu Ning's rule. As long as the entire Jiaozhou was conquered, Jiaozhou would also enjoy the same production and living benefits and various welfare policies as the people in other jurisdictions under Lu Ning's rule.

The entire recovery process is actually very simple. The publication of various laws, policies and regulations, taking over government affairs and military affairs, and the general small towns basically do not resist. As soon as the Xu Shu army arrived, they opened the city gate and welcomed the city. Of course, along the way, Shi Xie still sent some scattered soldiers to launch sneak attacks on Xu Shu army, but the effect was not great and it was impossible to stop Xu Shu army from advancing.

The second army surrounded Yulin County City and launched a series of psychological offensives, seriously damaging the morale of the soldiers guarding the city. The people in the city also knew the policies and regulations under Lu Ning's rule, and the soldiers guarding the city also knew that they were all waiting for Xu Shujun's attack!

Xu Shu's army did not attack, and only besieged the city but not attacked the city, which made Shi Xie feel distressed. He knew that if this continued, his soldiers might all mutiny. Later, Shi Xie sent a messenger to surrender. Xu Shu told the messenger that we would all surrounded the city, so why would we surrender? We only accepted the surrender of soldiers, generals, and the people, and did not accept the surrender of Shi Xie and Shi Kuang. The two of them were tried for the exam. The lives and deaths of their two were decided by the people in the city. If the people let them live, they would live. If the people let them die, they would die.

The messenger returned to the city helplessly. When Shi Xie heard that Xu Shujun did not accept surrender, his face looked extremely ugly. Of course, when he said that his life and death would make the people in the city decide, he had no hope at all. Shi Xie himself knew that he had done too many bad things to the people in the city. If he wanted the people to let him go, it would probably be a sleep talk!

After Xu Shu's second army besieged Yulin County, many of Shi Xie's soldiers guarding the city fled. In addition, his morale was low and Xu Shu's army did not accept surrender. Shi Xie distributed a large amount of money from his mansion to the soldiers to improve the soldiers' enthusiasm for defending the city. Although he had achieved a certain effect, the effect was not very good.

Xu Shu used various psychological tactics to completely destroy the morale of Shi Xie's soldiers guarding the city.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Xu Shu immediately dispatched a large army to seal all four city gates. After using explosives at night, he led the army into the city. After Xu Shu's army came to the city, most of Shi Xie's soldiers guarding the city were found to hide the place as described in the leaflet. After Xu Shu's army was reorganized and accepted, some of them simply ran home. After hearing that Xu Shu's army entered the city, they closed the door and opened their own doors only after the war was over.

There was no decent resistance in the entire battle, only a few hundred of Shi Xie's personal guards were fighting fearlessly, and the final result was that all of them were killed.

Shi Xie and Shi Kuang were captured. A few days later, a public trial meeting was held in Yulin County. The crimes of Shi Xie, Shi Kuang and others were announced in detail and then beheaded immediately. This made the people in Yulin County happy. The next step was to paste notices and deal with internal affairs. These were all familiar with the path and there was nothing to say.
