The lightning tactics of the Tang army frightened Liang Jun too. Yelu Deguang and Zhu Wen were stunned when they learned that it took only ten days for the Tang army to reach the city of Zhenzhou with 20 troops. When they all arrived, Zhu Wen couldn't wait for the reinforcements to gather, so he ordered the troops who arrived first to rush to the rescue of Zhenzhou.

Zhenzhou is now the capital of Liang State. Beyond Zhenzhou, there is another Cangzhou in Liang State, which is guarded by General Kang Huaizhen. There are nearly [-] cavalry and [-] infantry troops of Liang Guo Yulin Army, Shenwu Army, and Crane Control Army, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Khitan, Xi, and other ethnic groups. The food and grass stored in the city are enough to last for several years. After being breached, he still has the confidence to defend until the reinforcements arrive.

When Kang Huaizhen, the general guarding Cangzhou, heard the news that Zhenzhou City was besieged, he immediately raised his troops and rushed to Zhenzhou. A real contest began under Zhenzhou City...

Under the city of Zhenzhou, the war is raging.

Tang Jun was collecting materials. In just half a month, the military craftsmen rushed to produce [-] sets of stone pottery. Bitter rain and stone rain poured into Zhenzhou City every day without spending money. City gates, building earth hills, digging tunnels, all kinds of tactics are used to the extreme. The defenders in the city come to block, and the water comes to the earth.

The reinforcements from the other states of Liang State had no way to deal with the huge Tang army. The Tang army's three-way Jiedu army was mostly infantry, and the cavalry was put on the back road to eat ashes. What are you doing, so for the past few months, Wei Zhaodu has been leading the three-way army to train formations. After cooperation, it has finally been quite effective. Once the huge battle formation is in operation, it is simply a huge and terrifying meat grinder. Compared with the time when he was in Shouchun City, Xu Wen's formation is more complete and meticulous, especially after more than a month of continuous improvement and supplementation, it is perfectly combined with the terrain, and its heavy armored infantry is equipped with the most sophisticated in the world at that time. Weapons received the most scientific training, formed the most exquisite formations, and were invincible in frontal battles. No matter how many soldiers were filled in, it would not be able to fill this bottomless pit.

Liang Guo's reinforcements watched the Song army besiege and attack the city in a big way, but they were helpless. The Tang army only fought with you, and did not come to take the initiative to disrupt the war. What can you do? Hundreds of thousands of troops are piled under the city of Zhenzhou People eat horses and feed them, spending money like running water every day, it almost makes people collapse.

At this time, the Tang army had already freed up its hands and began to cut off the cities around Zhenzhou. Kang Huaizhen originally came to reinforce Zhenzhou, but he suffered setbacks after several battles. After several consecutive defeats, some generals under Kang Huaizhen's command even led their troops to surrender to Tang.

These generals were annexed by Liang Guo. It has only been a few years now, and they are not loyal enough to be willing. However, shortly thereafter, another person surrendered to Tang. Although he failed to pull all his troops over, he only brought more than 200 troops. However, it caused an uproar in Liang Jun's camp.

When the news came, the morale of the Liang army plummeted, and this time there was a domino effect immediately. More than a dozen generals surrendered the city one after another. Zhenzhou City officially became an isolated city, and the situation was precarious.

At this time, some bad voices appeared in Zhenzhou City, and they wrote to the son emperor Zhu Wen one after another, asking for the surrender of the city to avoid the loss of life.

"Nonsense! Anyone who dares to abandon our country and abandon his troops to protect himself will be killed without mercy!"

Zhu Wen stood up with his sword, and there was a murderous aura between his thick brows. No one dared to speak out, only the emperor said loudly: "In the past, I was a big beam, and there was no one who dared to stand in the way. Duan Mingyu and Li Ye's talents are no match for me, and now Zhenzhou City is in danger, the defenders are facing 20 enemy troops, guarding Yueshe hard, without losing an inch of ground, with my Khitan tiger and wolf division coming to rescue the siege, you are so timid As for the battle, "

Looking around the room, Zhu Wen said firmly and resolutely: "You retreat, I will not retreat! If you want to die, I will die vigorously, and I will die in battle at the city of Zhenzhou!"

Seeing that the emperor had such bloody courage, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were ashamed and dared not face each other. Zhu Wen's resolute words also aroused their fierceness. Organize the army and prepare to support the defenders at the top of the city.

In fact, in the battle of Zhenzhou, Wei Zhaodu played very well, especially when he attacked Zhenzhou with a lightning strike, that kind of vigor frightened the Khitan people who have always been arrogant and rebellious. If Zhu Wen was not determined to give in, At this moment, the Khitan people had already abandoned Zhenzhou and retreated back to Youyun Sixteen Prefectures.

However, there are still many talented people in Liang Guozhong. The formation of the Tang army is the most troublesome thing for them. Tens of thousands of reinforcements confront the Tang army but are helpless. They can only watch them endlessly attack Zhenzhou City. The reason is that they discovered It is difficult to deal with Tang Jun's formation that has been developed after countless scrutiny and simulations of various enemy situations. Therefore, during the stalemate with Tang Jun, they have been working hard to study Tang Jun's formation, hoping to find its weakness.

This weakness was really discovered by them. They attacked the Tang army's formation every day. The generals stood on a high place, condescending to overlook the overall situation, and carefully memorized the various contingency measures of the Tang army. Finally, they discovered that although the soldiers and horses around Wei Zhaodu were also in the formation , but it didn't play a role even once. Once the soldiers and horses rushed into the formation, the formation map of the army would start to operate, covering Wei Zhaodu tightly. However, it takes time for the army to operate. , then the Tang army will inevitably change the formation as quickly as possible to cover the main general. At this time, another heavy force will be sent to attack another weak formation. If the formation is too late to change back, will it be possible to break through the large formation? .

Thinking of this, Kang Huaizhen devoted himself to researching a carefully selected army, broke through the defense line of the Tang army, and entered Zhenzhou City smoothly. The other troops did not dare to leave the formation without orders. Fearing that the entire siege would collapse, and the troops that had been broken through panicked, they had no time to react, and they did not expect to report the military situation in a timely and accurate manner. They commanded an army of 20 troops, and Wei Zhaodu, who was separated by dozens of miles, went to Genjiu when the Liang army entered the city. Just found out the news.

This road of reinforcements entering the city is of little significance to replenish the troops defending the city of Zhenzhou, but this is the first reinforcement army to successfully break through the defense line of the Tang army and enter the city since the siege of the Tang army. ,
