Chapter 716 Cangzhou Falls
Cangzhou is located in the south of Tianyun, bordering Yunzhao. This place is densely forested and densely covered with miasma. It has always been sparsely populated, and the southern barbarians are scattered all over the place.For a hundred years, Tianyun used the policy of restraint to appease the barbarians, and gradually brought this place under his rule.After nearly a hundred years of governance, Cangzhou has gradually become populated, and the people of the Central Plains migrated here. Through continuous reclamation, they finally gained a firm foothold in this barren land.

Today, Cangzhou has a population of over one million, of which sixty-seven out of ten are people from the Central Plains.This is not only a strategically important place to defend against Yunzhao, but also a bridgehead to attack Yunzhao.Therefore, in the past hundred years, the two sides have fought dozens of wars in order to compete for Cangzhou.In the end, relying on strong strength, Tianyun completely dispelled Yun Zhaoguo's thoughts about Cangzhou.

However, less than half a month after some soldiers and horses of the Cangzhou garrison left, Yunzhao suddenly attacked on a large scale and captured several counties in the south of Cangzhou in one fell swoop, targeting Cangwu City, the county seat.

With the military situation, Chang Hao, the chief general of the garrison, immediately led an army of [-] troops to the south, trying to stop the enemy at the border.At the same time, he sent people to send out military information and report the news of Yun Zhao's attack.

This time, Yun summoned 100 troops, which is indeed an overwhelming force for his country.After all, the population of Yunzhao is only over [-] million. After deducting the troops to guard against the southern countries, it is considered extravagant to be able to gather [-] troops.

Although Chang Hao was surprised by this, he was not nervous.The combat power of Yunzhao's army is not considered strong. If it were not for the vast mountains and dense forests blocking the pace of Tianyun's attack, this little Yunzhao would have been wiped out by them long ago.

Therefore, even though he only had [-] troops under his command, it was enough to drive Yun Zhao out of the border.

A few days later, Chang Hao led his army to Cangwu City in the south.But one day, a large crowd of people emerged from the south, swarming towards the city.

At this time, the morale of Yunzhao's army was high, and Chang Hao did not take the initiative to attack, but prepared for defense in the city.

Sure enough, as soon as Yunzhao's army arrived in the county, they immediately launched a fierce attack.

The prepared Tianyun Army quickly repelled him. After leaving behind a lot of corpses, the morale of the Yunzhao Army plummeted and they retreated one after another.

After resting for a day, Yunzhao's army rushed to manufacture a batch of siege equipment, and led the army to besiege the county city again.Chang Hao still led his army to defend the city, repelled Yunzhao's offensive again, and Yunzhao's army retreated angrily after being frustrated again.

On the third day, Yun Zhao launched an attack again, but this attack was obviously not as good as the previous two attacks.When many soldiers of the Yunzhao army attacked the city, they looked forward and backward, hesitated, and faintly showed signs of collapse.

Seeing this, Chang Hao couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately assembled [-] cavalry in the city to stand by, and then mobilized [-] soldiers and horses to assemble.

With an order, the gates of the city opened wide.Chang Hao immediately led [-] cavalry to charge out, and broke into the enemy's formation in one fell swoop.

Yun Zhaojun was stunned by the sudden attack, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly collapsed and fled desperately.

The [-] infantry who came out also rushed out of the city gate, reaping lives wantonly.

The [-] Yunzhao army was driven by the cavalry, and the army was rolled back, forming a chain reaction and immediately causing a big rout.Countless crowds fled towards the south, causing many casualties along the way.

"Haha, kill, kill them all!" Chang Hao rode on a horse and frantically slashed and killed the fleeing Yun Zhaojun around him, like chopping melons and vegetables, very happy.

The army chased for more than ten miles, and countless Yunzhao troops cried and chose to surrender.But the Tianyun army ignored it, the long sword passed, and the heads rolled.

At this time, most of the defenders of the county city went out of the city, chasing and killing the defeated soldiers with the army.From their point of view, the heads of each of the Yun Zhaojun are all military achievements, and no one is not envious.

At this moment, the sound of high-pitched horns suddenly sounded from all around.Countless thunderous roars came from afar.

Chang Hao finally woke up from the happy fight, looked around, his face suddenly showed shock, "Oops, I was fooled! The enemy still has reinforcements, retreat quickly!"

However, it was over. At this time, in the surrounding dense forest, countless black crowds suddenly poured out, and they were riding tall horses, quickly charging towards Tianyun Army.

"It's the Eternal Army? It turned out to be the Eternal Army!" Chang Hao was shocked. He never thought that the Eternal Army would appear here.Thinking of the battle situation on the other side of the snow mountain, he immediately understood that the eternal army was just a fake army, and the eternal army here was the sharp blade piercing Tianyun. "Quick, retreat, return to the city!"

However, in the current army, there are only the five thousand cavalry under his command, and the rest are infantry. How can they run faster than the eternal cavalry.What's more, because of chasing and killing Yun Zhaojun, the army was drawn very sparsely, and it was impossible to gather troops to fight.Now we can only let them run, how many can run.

"Boom boom boom!" The endless eternal cavalry crashed into the Tianyun army with unparalleled impact, causing a bloody rush.

Chang Hao led five thousand cavalry to resist the attack of the Eternal Army.But in the face of the endless cavalry, their strength can only be regarded as a small wave.

Not long after, the cavalry led by Chang Hao was submerged in the tide of cavalry, unable to even delay the enemy for a moment.

Countless Eternal Army followed the chasing Tianyun Army and killed them, just like the previous Tianyun Army chasing and killing Yun Zhaojun, chopping melons and vegetables.

When the sporadic Tianyun Army returned to the county, the Eternal Army in the south was also approaching the city.

The governor of Tianyun County looked at the sea of ​​people tremblingly, there were at least 20 people.Coupled with the gradually gathered Yunzhao Army, the strength has reached more than 30.

"Misjudging the enemy's situation, our sky is in danger." The sheriff beat his chest and stomped his feet, crying loudly.

However, Eternity did not give them too much time. Now the county city only has thousands of defenders, and it is impossible to resist the enemy's offensive.

Sure enough, as the Eternal Army launched an attack on the county, within two hours, the county finally fell, and all the defenders below the county guard were killed.

On the throne in front of the Eternal Army, Tuo Muxiong finally showed a smug smile.Immediately shouted: "The whole army enters the city, party all night~!"

"Oh! Oh!" As the order was conveyed, the army suddenly cheered enthusiastically.

Immediately, the army poured into the county, and a huge disaster finally befalls the people in the city.

All night, flames blazed and wailing continued, and the whole city was filled with a strong smell of blood.

On the second day, the army immediately rushed out of the city, divided up and swept towards Sifang County.The main force, on the other hand, headed north all the way to the next county.

When the army left, Cangwu City, which was quite prosperous, suddenly turned into ghosts and monsters.When the people in the field returned, what they saw was a field of corpses, tens of thousands of people in the city were all tortured and killed.

And such scenes are still happening in various parts of Cangzhou, and letters for help are sent to Liuyun City from all over the place.

More than ten days later, when Hu Chengjing, who was in charge of government affairs, received information from the military in Cangzhou in the south, he immediately collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

When the crowd managed to wake him up, Hu Chengjing anxiously grabbed the sleeve of one of them and hissed, "Hurry up, order the 15 soldiers and horses dispatched from the two places to rush to the snow mountain immediately to cover the evacuation of the snow mountain garrison. Come to Floating Cloud City to assemble. At the same time, send people eight hundred miles to rush, and quickly notify His Majesty to let him withdraw the troops quickly."
