This location is really good! The entire Yanzhou Mansion, from the prefects to the famous gentry, packed up their belongings and hurriedly left Yanzhou Mansion City to run away.

  Suddenly, the whole city was in uproar and turmoil!

Chapter [-] Occupation of Yanzhou Mansion

  "What's the matter, what's going on, why are these gentlemen and gentlemen all packing up their luggage in a panic and trying to escape!"

  "Not only the gentleman, but even our prefect of Yanzhou ran away with his family!"

  "Ah, doesn't that mean that Yanzhou City is almost undefended!"

  "For fortification, someone has to guard it!"

  "I have heard that the Weihaiwei Second Army is extremely brave and unstoppable. In a short period of time, it even broke the fifth line of defense. Both of my two defense lines outside Yanzhou City have already reached the Bingchengwei and Qufu line! , it's just a matter of time!"

  "No wonder these gentlemen are running away!"

  "You can't do it if you don't run. I heard that Weihaiwei has killed one of these gentlemen, so the gentleman is extremely tenacious in resisting the Weihaiwei army!"

  "However, it is useless to resist tenaciously, this is not an opponent at all!!"

  "This resistance is turned into resistance, and whether it can be beaten is another matter!"

  "Haha, that's great, so our Yanzhou Mansion will soon be occupied by the Weihai Guards, and we will also become the subjects of the Weihai Guards!"

  "I heard that the people of Weihaiwei lived very well. They didn't worry about food or clothes, and they could let their children go to school. They lived like gods!"

  "Of course it's true. I have a relative who belongs to Qingzhou Prefecture. Wasn't Qingzhou Prefecture occupied by Weihaiwei? I heard that Qingzhou Prefecture is currently engaged in major projects, and construction sites are everywhere.

  He also packs food and clothes, and as long as he works, he doesn’t have to worry about food and drink!”

  "Work haha, we little people, are you still afraid of work!"

  "Don't worry about eating or drinking, such a day is really beautiful!"

  "Yes, I sincerely hope that the Weihai Guards can enter the city immediately!"

  ""

  Compared with the gentry in the whole city who were panic-stricken, packed their luggage and fled furiously, the people of Yanzhou Fucheng were all beaming and excited, looking forward to the arrival of the Weihai Guards, wishing that the Weihai Guards would immediately enter The city came and occupied the Yanzhou capital city.

  They are all impatient and want to become the subjects of Weihaiwei.

  Bingcheng Guard, Qufu line.

  "What gentry in the city, and the prefect, have already abandoned the city and ran away!"

  The commander of the Imperial Guards heard the news from the rear, and immediately couldn't help but shouted loudly.

  "Lord Commander, are we still guarding?"

  The thousands of households under him were also anxious one by one, and they all shouted anxiously.

  The commander of Bingcheng guards, with an annoyed expression on his face, said angrily: "Keep your ass! When all the brothers are dead, those gentlemen and prefects will not be grateful to us!!"

  "They command and blame us, why can't we keep it!!"

  When the thousands of households under him heard it, they were immediately heartbroken.

  They nodded in succession: "The commander is right, those gentlemen and prefects are really hateful! Our brothers, they were all good, and they all ran away. In this run, the brothers under my command were all one by one. The military's heart is unstable!"

  "Yes, yes, these gentlemen are too messy!!"

  "They don't know the reason why the rear is unstable and the troops on the front are unstable! They only know how to run for their lives!"

  "Maybe they are all desperate. They paid so much, but they were easily defeated by the Weihai Guards on the opposite side. It was like bean curd dregs, and they had no resistance!!"

  "

  Many farts, weapons and equipment, the quality of soldiers, and military training are not as good as others, and it is normal to be defeated by others!"

  "Let's escape, let's escape, let's continue to defend, except for the death of a few more brothers, there is no use at all! Besides, Weihaiwei's artillery is too ferocious, if we continue like this, I am afraid that everyone will be buried in the here!"

  "Yeah, this has been bombarded all the time, and our military city is about to be bombed into ruins! Not a single enemy has been seen. Just being bombarded and beaten, the soldiers under his command are almost dead!"

  "We can't fight, we can't stop it, we stick to here, it's self-inflicted shame, it's better to run away as soon as possible!"

  ""

  There was no need to say anything from the commander of the Bingcheng Guards, and the entire thousand households of the Bingcheng Guards were clamoring for abandoning the city and fleeing.

  This is only one of the reasons why the gentry in the rear abandoned the city and ran away, causing the army to become unstable.

  The most important thing is that they were bombarded by artillery all the way, crushed and beaten, and they were powerless to fight back, and they could not see any hope of victory.

  It was just the artillery that knocked them down! It was desperate! At such a time, the regretful gentry escaped, which simply gave them the best reason to escape. If they didn't catch it, it would be a waste! The commander of the city guard saw that the thousands of households under his command said so, and even most of the hundreds of households nodded in agreement.

  With the military heart like this, he had no choice but to push the boat along the way: "Since it can't be stopped, then let's abandon the city and run!!"

  With an order, the news of abandoning the city and running away has been conveyed.

  It immediately caused the entire Bingcheng guard to boil. Those who didn't know the situation thought they had won a big victory! In fact, all the soldiers of the Bingcheng guard heard that they were going to abandon the city and run away, so they stopped fighting. , One by one, they were screaming and screaming with excitement. They were so excited! The whole city of Bingcheng Guard was boiling, and the sound of laughter came incessantly. Hearing all the soldiers of the Second Weihaiwei Army outside the city looked at each other in dismay.

  With his head full of doubts, he couldn't help but say to the staff around him: "These people, their heads are not being bombarded by artillery!"

  The staff members spread their hands one after another. This situation is so bizarre, so strange, that they can't figure it out.

  Soon, they were surprised to find that the soldiers of the city guards opened the city gate to the west of the city and abandoned the city to run away! "Run!"

  Zhang Yang's shocked eyes were about to pop out. He never imagined that the last line of defense in Yanzhou City would be so unscathed.

  According to his assumption, this should be the most difficult to attack and the most tenacious line of defense to resist! Who knows, things are far beyond his expectations.

  However, if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out. This doesn't stop him from commanding the main force of the Second Army and capturing the Bingcheng Guards! Only then did the Bingcheng Guards be taken down, and news soon came from Qufu over there. Abandoning the city and fleeing, he captured Qufu without a single shot.

  "Report!"

  "The army lord, the cavalry scouts reported that the four gates of Yanzhou City are open, and it is no longer fortified! The gentry of the entire Yanzhou City and the prefect of Yanzhou have all run away!"

  Soon, a messenger came to report, which made Zhang Yang look stunned: "The mentality of being beaten has collapsed, and one by one despairingly abandoned the city and fled!"

  "We really fought too hard!"

  The staff around him nodded in agreement.

  In just a few days, five or two lines of defense have been broken in a row, and it is unstoppable. Who wouldn't panic! "Enter the city!!"

  With a look of joy on his face, Zhang Yang waved his hand, and ordered the army to enter the city and occupy the city of Yanzhou.

The first ninety-seventh chapter marches south and enters Xuzhou Mansion

  The main force of the Second Army, stationed in Yanzhou Fucheng, was warmly welcomed by all the people of Yanzhou Fucheng, and all the officers and men of the Second Second Army could not stand it.

  Because all the gentry in Yanzhou Fucheng ran away, they didn't even need to clean up, they could only search their homes and clean up their property in front of an empty gentry mansion.

  The gentry ran away, but the monks could not escape the temple! This kind of escape could not take most of their wealth with them! And these wealth, the flamboyant Second Army, unceremoniously accepted it! Occupied The presence of Yanzhou Palace City means that the overall situation of the war in the entire Yanzhou Palace has already been decided! In addition, the gentry of the entire Yanzhou Palace have almost run away.

  In the following states and counties, the heart and strength of resistance have been greatly reduced, almost equal to nothing! Zhang Yang did not need to use the main force of the Second Army, but only sent four 44 guards under his command to execute the occupation of Yanzhou Prefecture. The tasks of all subordinate states and counties.

  And he just needs to sit in the palace in Yanzhou Fucheng and quietly wait for the good news to arrive.

  The overall situation of the war in Yanzhou Mansion has been decided, and his urgent heart has been completely relieved.

  Now, he just needs to let the soldiers of the Second Army rest for a while to make up for the loss of personnel and materials caused by the successive wars these days.

  However, he did not forget that his real enemy was the Nanzhili Army.

  The Southern Zhili Army was the main resistance force of the entire southern Zhili gentry. It can be said that this army had assembled nearly [-]% of the strength of the southern Zhili.

  And as long as this army is defeated, the second army can sweep Huaibei! Relying on the Huaihe River as a defense line, thoroughly clean up all hidden dangers that threaten the territory! Completely block the war on the southern front from the territory! This is about the territory. Zhang Yang did not dare to take any contempt for the important strategic deployment, and began to study with the staff under his command to study the next battle with the Nanzhili Army led by Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang.

  Time is passing by while waiting.

  five days later.

  All the guards under his command have come to report.

  "Ningyang, Wenshang, Dongpingzhou, Yanggu and other prefectures and counties in the northern part of Yanzhou Prefecture were all taken! Jining, Yutai, Juye, Xiazhou, Dingtao, Chengwu, Caoxian, and Shanxian in the western part of Yanzhou Prefecture were all taken Occupy, and advance the front to the east bank of the Yellow River!"

  "To this day, all the prefectures and counties under Yanzhou Prefecture have been occupied by us. The goal of occupying the entire territory of Yanzhou Prefecture in the first stage has been successfully accomplished by our Second Army!"

  In the government office of Yanzhou Fucheng, the staff members around him were reporting happily one by one.

  Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction, with a smile on his face: "Finally occupying the entire territory of Yanzhou Prefecture!"

  Immediately afterwards, his expression changed: condensed, he came to the sand table of the map, pointed to the south of Yanzhou Prefecture, and a large area of ​​prefectures north of the Huaihe River, and said solemnly: "The next goal is to go south and capture Xuzhou in southern Zhili. To the north of the Huai River, where the Huai'an Prefecture is located, there are a large number of prefectures and counties!"

  "The front line is completely pushed to the shore!"

  Speaking of this, he paused, then said solemnly: "There are very few prefectures and counties on the north bank of the Huaihe River in Xuzhou Prefecture, so our main goal is to occupy the Huai'an Prefecture District, the Southern Zhili Army led by Ma Shiying!"

  "According to the information from the intelligence department and the Jinghai Fleet, the Southern Zhili Army led by the Governor of Fengyang, Ma Shiying, has more than [-] regular soldiers!"

  "The so-called regular soldiers are real soldiers. Their will to fight and their military literacy are more than those of young men! It's just that the Ming army was defeated by discipline.

  The Ming army has very little military training, and they can't be called elite soldiers."

  "The combat power is between the young and the elite!"

  "However, don't underestimate them just because they have few elite soldiers! We must despise the enemy strategically, pay attention to the enemy tactically, and fight every battle well!"

  "This time, I will personally lead three 3 field mixed guards, two garrison guards, as well as artillery guards, cavalry guards, a total of seven 7 guards, [-], soldiers, [-] farmers, and lead the army south. !"

  "This battle requires only one!"

  "That is to ignore the main force of the Southern Zhili Army, to fully occupy Huaibei Prefecture and counties, and to move the front to the north bank of the Huaihe River!"

  As soon as Zhang Yang's order was issued, the staff around him began to act one after another, mobilizing troops and formulating an attack route.

  The goal of this operation is very clear and clear, that is to occupy all the prefectures and counties in Huaibei, and advance the front to the north bank of the Huaihe River! As long as the Nanzhili Army is not stupid, once the Second Weihaiwei Army appears in the prefectures and counties behind them, there will be cuts. If there are traces of their back path, they have to obediently retreat from the position close to the Yanzhou Mansion, thinking about the safety of their back path.

  For the Second Army, if the capture of Huaibei prefectures and counties is fast enough to block the main force of the Southern Zhili Army on the north bank of the Huaihe River, it would be purely a surprise, and it would be a profit! ! As long as the Huaibei prefectures and counties can be occupied and the front line pushed to the north bank of the Huaihe River, then the strategic deployment has been successfully completed.

  The main purpose of the battle is still only one - that is fast! March fast, attack the city fast! Fast enough to catch the enemy by surprise, no defense! Time launched an attack, smashed out of Yanzhou Prefecture, and attacked Fengxian County in Xuzhou Prefecture, south of Zhili, to the east.

  At the same time, the main force of the Second Army stationed in Yanzhou Fucheng also turned around and marched south, heading towards Peixian, the most important county in the north of Xuzhoufu.

  South Zhili, Huai'an Prefecture, Huaibei City - Haizhou.

  "What are the three lines of defense in Yanzhou City that were breached by the Second Weihaiwei Army, the gentry in Yanzhou City and the prefect of Yanzhou fled the city in panic, and Yanzhou City and even the entire Yanzhou City have been lost!"
