Chapter 208 Spiritual Coordination, Special Operations

Because the [-] Anbei Army outside the city had no intention of attacking the city, nor did they have siege equipment, so the soldiers on duty in the second half of the night in Shuiyang City were not considered elite.

Tian Ming's own old foundation is only two thousand, and it needs to be used for daytime confrontation. At that time, it is very likely that he will encounter the strong attack of Anbei's main force.

This kind of military strategy arrangement is not only correct, it can even be said to be excellent. When the strength of the enemy and ourselves is very different, the strongest combat power can be preserved to deal with it.

But they never expected that the first special joint operation of Anbei Governor's Mansion would be applied in Shuiyang City.

The divine master avatar has just unified the Bei'an God Realm with thunder and established the Anbei God Court. I don't know how many new gods have been attached to them, and they want to perform meritorious service.

They witnessed with their own eyes that the God Lord promoted Chao Qu, the city god, to take over the city of Bei'an County.

In addition, there are ghosts, one ghost, two ghosts and three ghosts, who gather the status of gods and are sealed as gods and yin servants.

Many human gods such as Chenghuang, Land, and Youshen were ecstatic. They couldn't cling to the heavenly court. Now that there is a divine court to take shelter, how can they not do their best.

When Zhou Bai led the army to march into Ruinan, the avatars of the God Lord acted simultaneously, and the gods of Anbei Shenting went to Ruinan County with the army.

On the one hand, they want to expand the incense area, bring the gods of Ruinan into the jurisdiction of the gods, and suppress dissidents; on the other hand, they want to help the Anbei Army take Ruinan County smoothly.

You Ye, the night tour envoy under Chao Qu's command, was the most active. He risked being suppressed by the French Open and sneaked into Shuiyang County to check for information.

Before Jiao Tu's night attack, he led the way for the gods in the court, and went straight to the Shuiyang City God's domain, so that the gods of Shuiyang City could not warn Tian Ming.

Afterwards, the night wind was called to make the guards drowsy, and the dark clouds covered the moonlight...

Although such small means cannot directly affect the actual battle situation, they also played a role that cannot be ignored.

Five hundred martial arts masters acted as elite night raiders, and their actions were well-trained, swift and silent.

Relying on excellent strength and skill, hook and lock, there is no pressure to climb the county-level city wall.

Jiao Tu led a few innate officers to climb up first, and when they went up, they slaughtered all directions, rampaging, and the defenders who were shot into chaos by the arrow rain were directly cut and stunned.

Why did this fierce general suddenly appear at the top of the city, and there were still a steady stream of enemies climbing up the city wall behind him.

The unexpected night attack caused the fighting at the top of the city to be one-sided. The only thing the defenders had time to do was to send an alarm to the whole city before Jiao Tu captured the city gate.

The rapid sound of gongs, the panicked shouts of the soldiers, the sound of fighting and fighting...

The unprecedentedly quiet Shuiyang City was completely awakened, and the lights and candles in the houses along the street went on and off because soldiers were rushing outside.

The elite county soldiers who woke up in the barracks were urged by the officers to rush to the city gate before they even had time to put on their armor.

Everyone knows that in the middle of the night, if the gate of the city is broken, everything will be closed.

"Dong dong, county lord, county lord, something is wrong!"

In the back house of the county government, Tian Ming, the county magistrate, was awakened by the panic of shouting at the door, without hesitation for a moment, he hurriedly got dressed and got up.

The Anbei Army was just outside the city, so what good could happen if they were woken up at such a time.

When he opened the door, he saw that the people who came were just a few confidantes, their faces were full of eagerness and panic.

At this time, there were running footsteps inside and outside the county government office, and the aura of fighting was overwhelming, Tian Ming's heart was actually in a mess.

But he still reprimanded without changing his face: "Calm down! Tell me, what's going on."

The confidant wiped the sweat from his forehead, forced himself to be calm and said in a low voice: "Eastern city was successfully attacked by the enemy at night, and the enemy climbed the city wall. I don't know if the city gate has been kept!"

Tian Ming's thoughts turned, his face turned red, and he dared not say anything: "How is it possible, Shuiyang City God promised me that if there is an emergency, he will warn me.

"Our cooperation is not once or twice. The incense offerings in the past few years are useless?!"

"Also, isn't the Anbei Army able to fly? How can they steal the city under the watchful eyes of the defenders!"

After he was awakened, he thought about many situations, such as the families in the city trying to dedicate the city to each other, or which military academy in the east city was bought, and the inside should cooperate with the outside.

Shuiyang City God didn't warn, but the key is Dongcheng City, which was successfully attacked by the Anbei Army, which is too unreasonable.

"Xianzun, listen to the sound of killing, could it be that the subordinates will lie to you?"

"You use incense to win over the gods, so there is no such thing as a solid relationship."

"The county army camp has received news that General Zhang is leading troops to support Dongcheng, and the household team has assembled outside the Yamen. Please make a quick decision on what to do next."

Tian Mingneng takes root in Shuiyang, and manages it like an iron bucket. Of course, a group of confidantes is indispensable.

The words of his confidants made him completely wake up. Now, is it possible that he still has to rely on the gods to turn the tide?
Tian Ming took a deep breath, and glanced at the direction of Dongcheng, the situation there was still unclear.

No longer hesitating, he pointed at the confidants in front of him and said: "Go and collect county seals, yellow books, and important documents, and prepare to dedicate the city. I will take my servants to the east city."

"grown ups!"

"You have to try. Breaking up the city and surrendering, and offering a complete city, are treated completely different afterwards." Tian Ming waved his hands and said with complicated emotions.

His current thinking is only to sell Shuiyang City for a better price, and surrender when Zhou Bai comes to the city in person.

No matter whether Jiao Tu used the "despicable" method of night attack or not, it is a fact that Shuiyang City God kept silent, and it is also a fact that Anbei Army climbed to the top of the city without the help of siege equipment.

A mere 5000 people have already pushed Shuiyang City to a desperate situation. With the arrival of the main force, it is hard to imagine that Shuiyang City can survive for three days.

Tian Mingjiu was in the officialdom, and was suppressed by the official atmosphere, but he was barely half of the Taoist realm, and the rough luck situation was not a problem.

Just at this time, the five thousand Anbei Army made a massive attack, and at the critical moment of capturing the city gate, the military spirit was boiling, and the luck belonging to the Anbei Dudufu's Mansion also showed.

It was the first time that Ruinan and Bei'an had a real confrontation. Tian Ming, as the magistrate of Shuiyang County, was so blessed that he got a glimpse of the veins of luck.

In his eyes, the black clouds in the sky were about to be destroyed, and the majestic mountain-like momentum in the distance was so powerful that he couldn't breathe.

Whether it was his own Ruinan Jiedu Mansion or the Dingzhou Prefecture Government, he had been in touch and watched, but he had no experience here.

That is the rising sun, which is in an infinite rising posture, and those who stand in front of it will be burned to ashes.

Tian Ming made a decision, and acted very quickly. When he came to the county government office, he got on his horse and headed straight for Dongcheng with his loyal servants and servants.

If you can hold it, you will defend it first, if you can't hold it, you will surrender immediately.

As the East City was getting closer, Tian Ming's heart sank, why had some defeated soldiers retreated along the way.

He ordered people to seize the defeated soldiers on the front line, and angrily said: "Where is General Zhang? Why retreat first?!"

The defeated soldier's face was full of panic, and he said with a crying voice: "My lord, I can't stop it. Anbei's army is defeated by a hundred people. General Zhang has been cut into the gate by the enemy general, and the city gate cannot be kept."

The general who controlled the county soldiers for him died?Tian Ming's figure flickered and he almost fell off the horse.

However, before he was sad or questioned, the battle at the east city gate in front seemed to reach its peak, and the sound of fighting filled the sky.

Tian Ming's eyes can see at night, he can clearly see the city gate hole, a wave of fiery red recedes, it is the color of the military uniform of the soldiers of Daxu Jingzhi!
"Defeated?" Tian Ming tightened his grip on the horse rope, still staring at the city gate.

Sure enough, immediately after, the tumbling and raging black tide surged out.

They were a group of cruel soldiers dressed in mysterious armor, like ghost soldiers from the underworld, they were the Anbei Army!

The black tide rushed into the red tide, and within a moment, the fiery red representing the soldiers of Shuiyang County was washed away, and there were scattered disorderly soldiers everywhere.

The momentum of the Anbei Army was so fierce, more and more soldiers rushed into the city gate, and the east city was about to fall completely from the gate to the city wall.

Tian Ming couldn't bear it, and he was very unwilling in his heart. The old soldier he had worked so hard to raise for many years was so vulnerable in front of this group of Anbei soldiers?
It is almost a complete crushing of personal qualities, military formation coordination, and armor and weapons.

However, he also knew that now is not the time to be grateful, so he immediately turned his horse's head and shouted: "Withdraw!"

A group of family servants who were favored by the master's family saw the retreat of the front line. At this time, they did not have any timidity or the idea of ​​abandoning the master's family and fleeing, but put up their battles one after another.

Some of them surrounded Tian Ming and withdrew to the county government office, and some of them consciously cut off their heirs to prevent being chased and killed by their tails.

On the way to flee, a close follower who had been with Tian Ming for many years rode his horse and stood beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Master, are you going to surrender, or leave from other city gates?"

Kisui pressed one hand on his waist, and his tone of voice was a little weird, something was wrong.

Of course Tian Ming knew something was wrong, he even knew that this entourage had already been bought by Rui Nan Jiedu Yan Luo, and he was a traitor.

"Oh? Marshal Yan gave you instructions to let me stick to Shuiyang?"

"You kept me on purpose!" As soon as Tian Ming's slightly teasing words came out, Qin Sui's complexion changed drastically, and he drew his sword as if to do that evil thing.

But he didn't realize that when he got close to Tian Ming, he also got close to the other two riders.

Even though he was in the acquired state and his martial arts were good, after three rounds, he was cut off by the horse.

Following the last line of sight, the confidantes of the county magistrates from behind rushed over with large and small bags, which contained official seals, yellow books, and documents, which represented the ownership of the Shuiyang County regime.

That's right, Tian Ming chose to surrender. In his opinion, continuing to make pointless resistance would only reduce points even more.

It is already impossible to present the complete Shuiyang City as a gift, so he has to make up for it as much as possible in the aftermath.

What surprised Tian Ming was that Jiao Tu, a general with a strong view of the overall situation, did not accept his surrender, saying that he was waiting for the governor to arrive in person. This is rare political wisdom.

Of course, although Jiao Tu did not accept the surrender in advance, he gave Tian Ming full power to assist the Anbei Army to calm the people.

On the afternoon of July [-]th, when Zhou Bai led [-] main forces to Shuiyang City, what greeted him was a completely stable city.

Tian Ming went out of the city to surrender according to ancient rituals, and handed over all powers, as obedient as he could be.

This gave Anbei Dudufu's Southern Expedition strategy a very good start, and the morale of the army was boosted.

Zhou Bai was very satisfied with Tian Ming's performance, because his timely surrender preserved the vitality of Shuiyang City to the maximum extent, allowing Anbei Army to gain a good foothold in Ruinan.

But apart from being satisfied with Tian Ming's knowledge, he is even more satisfied with Jiao Tu, a "retired general" who is not very conspicuous in the court system, and is now showing his talents one by one.

Bold and careful, with military and political talents, and with a few battle achievements accumulated, it is not a problem to be the commander in chief.

However, the opportunity to do meritorious deeds cannot be given to only one person. The attack on Ruinan County is the best time to train generals.

Therefore, after Zhou Bai entered Shuiyang, he ignored the [-] Ruinan government troops who were on the way, and sent two partial divisions to guard the flanks.

Zhou Ping, the guard of the Fujun, led 500 people from the headquarters, and took Yicheng County; Huang Jingtong, the Weijun of the Fujun, led 500 people from the headquarters, and took Tianlin County.

Both of them can be regarded as mid-to-high-ranking military officers, but they are not particularly outstanding, but they have obtained the position of Wei Zheng by virtue of their seniority and small achievements.

Especially Zhou Ping, who was born in the Zhou family, is one of the few children of the family who can make a name for himself in the army, so in fact Zhou Bai took care of him a little bit.

The township party is usually an inevitable and important component of emerging forces, and the Anbei Dudufu is no exception.

Zhou Bai didn't intend to go against this historical norm. In the final analysis, it was always the small group of people who could really support him without any conditions.

Both of them are just lucky, if they want to go to the next level, they must have a breakthrough, which depends on the watering of military skills and luck.

……

Shuiyang changed hands, Yicheng and Tianlin counties were threatened, and the entire northern part of Ruinan County was in emergency.

If it is shown by sand table deduction, the vast area north of Ruinan County City means that the control area of ​​Jiedu Mansion is decreasing visible to the naked eye.

The Southern Expedition has not felt too much pressure at present, and there is no need for cavalry to protect the Chinese army.

Zhou Bai decided to let Lou Jinpeng act independently out of the consideration of training the cavalry's ability to fight alone.

On July [-]th, after Lou Jinpeng and other follow-up troops took over Shuiyang Ferry, he led [-] cavalry to drive straight in, galloping for hundreds of miles a day, and surprised the Yamen's grain road, winning a complete victory.

After the success of the group battle, he broke up two thousand cavalry into pieces, and formed a team of one hundred to harass the fortresses controlled by Ruinan Jiedu.

The craziest group of cavalry even appeared ten miles away from Ruinan City. If it weren't for Yan Luo's capital, the Silver Dragon Cavalry would have been kept in his hands.

Maybe this team of cavalry really went to the city to show off their might.

But even if it only appeared ten miles outside the city, it would deal a huge blow to Ruinan Jiedu's prestige. How long has it been since the war started, and you let people fight to the door, and can you continue to fight?
Seeing that the county is not stable, the three counties in the south of Ruinan County are connecting more and more privately.

Yan Luo recalled the [-] government troops who had stopped halfway, not only to stabilize the situation, but also because he knew that if he lost the field battle, the entire army might be wiped out immediately.

On the Anbei Army's side, they are still fighting steadily and gradually advancing.

Concerned about attacking the side divisions on the flanks, Zhou Yuan only led the main force of [-] to push forward for [-] miles, controlling the transportation hub in the north of Ruinan, which could radiate Yicheng and Tianlin.

As for Zhou Bai, apart from stabilizing Shuiyang in the next few days, he also received representatives from various forces in Ruinan County.

As a result of the first battle, many tyrants have already handed in letters of surrender, and they are willing to accept the "Wang Shi".
