Taizhou has six counties: Linhai County, Tangxing County, Le'an County, Ninghai County, Xiangshan County and Huangyan County.

The state capital is in Linhai County.

The south side of Tiantai Mountain where the Divine Thunder Army is stationed is the county seat of Tangxing County.

Ninghai County, Xiangshan County are to the north of Tiantai Mountain, Linhai County, Huangyan County, and Le'an County are to the south of Tiantai Mountain.

Lin Bochang's strategy was to take advantage of the momentum of his victory and divide his troops into three groups overnight to attack the county seat on the north side of Tiantai Mountain, the county seat on the south side of Tiantai Mountain, and Linhai County where the state capital was located.

The five southeastern states claim to have 200,000 elite soldiers, but in fact most of them are concentrated in Fuzhou, which is the headquarters of the southeastern salt merchants.

In fact, Zhu Xiuyuan and the others had already found out how many troops were stationed in Taizhou's six counties, and it was not many.

In addition, we just killed another 30,000 people and captured the King of Taizhou alive...

"Okay, Deputy Lin, this method is very good, so I will implement it according to this method!"

Zhu Xiuyuan made a prompt decision and decided on the matter.

And quickly mobilized troops and generals to dispatch immediately.

Huang Zhigao led an army of 10,000 to attack Ninghai and Xiangshan counties on the north side of Tiantai.

Lin Bochang led 10,000 elite troops to attack Huangyan County, Le'an County, and Tangxing County on the south side of Tiantai Mountain.

Zhu Xiuyuan led Liu Anping and Wu Shaoguang to lead the remaining 30,000 troops, and marched directly into Linhai County, where the city of Taizhou was located.

They want to take over all the prefectures and counties in Taizhou in one fell swoop!

Lin Bochang and Huang Zhigao encountered no decent obstacles when they attacked the city, because there were not many defenders in the county towns other than the state capital.

The Divine Thunder Army threw several rounds of thunderbolts onto the city wall, and the defenders were almost completely destroyed.

Then the city gate was blown open, and the army successfully entered the city, took control of the county government office overnight, and dragged the county magistrate from his warm bed...

Then, the whole city was searched for all kinds of salt merchants, as well as officials at all levels in the city, and they were all arrested.

Let’s talk about Zhu Xiuyuan’s group.

Because he was attacking a prefectural city, he thought he would encounter relatively more obstacles.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan sacrificed the captured Queen of Taizhou directly under the city wall, and the gates of Taizhou City automatically opened.

It was so smooth that it was unimaginable!

Lin Bochang and Huang Zhigao at least threw a few rounds of thunder and made a little noise.

As for Zhu Xiuyuan, they took over the entire city without spending a single soldier...

Although the city is large.

However, there were 30,000 soldiers of the Divine Thunder Army who entered the city, and there were also some surrendered rebels. With so many people dispatched overnight, all the people who should be captured in Jiangzhou City were captured.

Zhu Xiuyuan wiped out all the state officials, county officials, salt merchants, and even the tyrants and tyrants who were deeply resented by the people with a wave of his hand.

Tonight, all the prefectures and counties in Taizhou are not peaceful.

It was noisy all night, the footsteps and cries of injustice never stopped.

Ordinary people were trembling.

I was afraid that those people would break in and take them away.

But a whole night passed, light filtered through the doors and windows, their door was never broken, and the noise, footsteps, and cries of injustice on the street outside all stopped.

Some brave people opened the door and went out, just in time to see the Divine Thunder Army posting notices to calm the people...

At this time, three fast horses quickly left Taizhou City, galloped on the official road, and bolted towards Yuezhou.

One of the fast horses arrived at Hangzhou, which borders Yuezhou, shortly after dawn, went straight to the Linhai Prince's Mansion, and informed the Linhai Prince of Hangzhou of the news that the Divine Thunder Army had captured the entire Taizhou overnight.

"What!"

King Linhai stood up in shock, "What did you say?"

The soldier repeated it again.

"It's too... too fast. In just one night, the Divine Thunder Army took over the entire Taizhou!" King Linhai felt incredible.

"Your Majesty, my Lord Marquis asks you to lead your troops south as soon as possible and take over the defense of Taizhou city!" the soldier said again.

"Well, I understand. Go back and tell Marquis Zhu that I will arrive within today!" After King Linhai finished speaking, he hurried to the Hangzhou camp.

Yes, although the Divine Thunder Army is powerful, its number is only 50,000, so it is naturally impossible to leave troops to guard the captured city.

According to Emperor Chen's order, after the Shen Lei Army captured Taizhou, it was necessary for King Linhai to lead his troops to temporarily take over until the court made arrangements.

As for the Divine Thunder Army, they naturally went to kill Wenzhou, the next prefecture and county to rebel.

Let’s talk about the other two fast horses.

Their destination is the capital.

What was stuffed in their arms was not an ordinary letter, but a rubbish!

Lubu, a kind of cloth that records victory in battles, is large and easy to display in front of people.

The two soldiers galloped all the way and finally arrived at the capital before noon.

They entered from the Juxian Gate, took out the cloth on horseback, each held one side, held the cloth high and tightened it, and then walked through the market in a swaggering manner.

And while holding up the cloth and rushing towards the palace, they shouted at the top of their lungs: "The Divine Thunder Army won a great victory in the first battle, taking down one state and six counties in Taizhou in one night!"

"The Divine Thunder Army achieved a great victory in their first battle, taking down one state and six counties in Taizhou in one night!"

"The Divine Thunder Army achieved a great victory in their first battle, taking down one state and six counties in Taizhou in one night!"

"..."

Their shouting was like dropping a bomb into the deep water of Beijing.

A huge wave instantly set off.

"What did he say?" After the two Shen Lei Army soldiers passed by on horseback, holding the cloth high, people on the street gathered around and looked at their horses' butts, as if they had not yet reacted.

"The Divine Thunder Army achieved a great victory in their first battle, and they also captured one prefecture and six counties in Taizhou overnight!?" Someone repeated it.

"The Divine Thunder Army has won a great victory! God's eyes are open!"

"Hahaha!" Someone laughed wildly in front of everyone.

"It's good now, it's good now, the Thunder Army has won a great victory, and the rebels will not invade the capital!" A man repeatedly said to his heart, seeming to recall that "the enemy troops are approaching the city" and "the city will be destroyed at any time"

Painful memories.

"The Divine Thunder Army has won..."

"..."

As the two soldiers of the Divine Thunder Army held up the cloth, walked through the street, and shouted loudly, the news spread to all directions at an extremely fast speed.

In a very short period of time, even before the two soldiers of the Divine Thunder Army reached the palace gate, the main mansions in the city received news of the great victory.

Shen Leihou Mansion.

Dong Cheng was away, so he went to the Yamen of Runzhou Prefecture to sit on duty. News of the victory of the Divine Thunder Army reached the mansion and was immediately known to Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen.

At that time, two sisters were drinking tea and chatting in a pavilion.

When the news came, Dong Shuzhen immediately jumped up: "The Divine Thunder Army has won a great victory? My husband has won!"

She jumped up and down with joy, like a little monkey.

Dong Shuyu, who was still sitting upright, couldn't help but smile after hearing the news, but in the blink of an eye, he saw his sister jumping up and down like this.

She couldn't help but remind: "Zhen'er, stop it quickly, you jumping around like this is not good for pregnancy!"

Although Dong Shuyu knew that Zhen'er would not become pregnant, this was her father's instruction and she still had to obey it, so she warned her.
Chapter completed!
