The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 831
Following Mengchai's surrender, the rest of the Yunzhao army knelt down and surrendered under the pursuit of the Tianhua army.

According to statistics, in this battle, nearly 2 Yunzhao troops were wiped out, and more than 1000 people were captured. The remaining thousands of people fled from the surrounding jungle. At present, a team of people has gone to hunt them down.In this battle, the Tianhua Army suffered no more than [-] casualties, which can be described as a complete victory.

However, the war is not over yet.Behind the Tianhua army, there are tens of thousands of Yunzhao troops besieging their stronghold.

After leaving 5000 soldiers and horses to guard the prisoners, the remaining [-] troops immediately went south for reinforcements.

A few days later, tens of thousands of Tianhua troops arrived at their destination and launched a fierce attack on Yunzhao's army.

[-] cavalry took advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides, suddenly rushed out, pierced directly into the henchman of Yun Zhaojun from the flank, and disintegrated its formation in one fell swoop.Then, the thousands of Tianhua troops in the stronghold arrived immediately, attacking back and forth.The [-] Yunzhao army was defeated.

Two hours later, the battle was over, the [-] Yunzhao army had nearly [-] casualties, and the remaining [-] people were all captured.

Afterwards, the Tianhua Army moved again, dividing up its troops and attacking the Yunzhao Army in other places.

However, within a few days, the 13 Yunzhao Army who went south were wiped out in less than two months.Most of the generals and officials below Mengchai were captured, more than [-] people were killed and injured, and [-] to [-] were captured.

These captives, the Tianhua Army could not bear to let them die.They will be escorted to various parts of the country and used as hard labor to build roads for Tianhua.

At the beginning of May, the [-]-day Chinese army in the south set off again in full gear, took warships, and went straight to the Golden Elephant Mansion, which is less than a hundred miles south of Yunzhao Chongguang City.

The Golden Elephant Mansion is located on the south bank of the middle section of the Canglang River. With the cooperation of warships, the Golden Elephant Mansion, which has thousands of garrisons, was captured in less than a day.Then the army swept across the south of Jinxiang Mansion, and the navy blocked the Canglang River section to prevent reinforcements from the north.

A few days later, the Chongguang Mansion immediately received the news from the Golden Elephant Mansion, and immediately, the entire capital was shaken.The whole court was terrified, and the people in the city were terrified.

At the same time, the thousands of defeated soldiers who fled back from the south once again brought a piece of desperate news.

The 13 army was defeated in the south, and they were the only ones who could escape.You know, Yunzhao Kingdom has only 20 troops in total.When he went north with Eternity, he brought a hundred thousand troops with him, but he never came back.

For this reason, Yun Zhaoguo recruited more than 20 soldiers and horses in the country, and once again gathered more than [-] soldiers and horses to deter surrounding countries, and at the same time to deal with Tianhua's revenge.

Unexpectedly, half of the country's military strength was completely annihilated in the south.Now that the garrison in the capital doesn't even have 1 horses, how can they deal with the Tianhua Army's offensive?

Above the court, all the ministers were arguing endlessly.Some people suggested that soldiers and horses should be recruited on the spot immediately to defend the city, and at the same time recall [-] soldiers and horses from the north to help.

Some people suggested moving the capital to avoid Tianhua's soldiers, and at the same time send envoys to beg Tianhua's forgiveness more humbly.After all, the Kingdom of Heaven has always been tolerant, as long as they admit a mistake, they will not do anything to them.

Some people even suggested to abandon all the cities and lead the whole people in the deep mountains and old forests to launch uninterrupted raids on the Tianhua Army, eventually forcing them to retreat.

Didn't the ancestors of Yunzhaoguo finally overwhelm the Central Plains people through this method, and finally established Yunzhaoguo?
Mang Kun, the lord of Yunzhao, was not satisfied with any of this.If the [-] troops in the north were transferred back, what would the Tianhua army in the north do?Once they are allowed to go south, wouldn't Yun Zhao be over?

Even more stupid is the second suggestion, is it so easy to move the capital of a country?Once the Chongguang Mansion is withdrawn, wouldn't I want to give up most of the central and southern part of Izumozhao's land?More than half of the country's population and more than [-]% of the wealth are gathered here.

Once he gave up the Chongguang Mansion, what else would he use against Tianhua?As for surrendering to Tianhua, he is willing, but Tianhua is not willing to do so.

As for giving up all the cities, it is even more unrealistic for everyone to go into the deep mountains and old forests to resist.If it was hundreds of years ago, when Yun Zhao was poor and white, he would naturally be willing to endure hunger and participate in the resistance.

But now that Yunzhao established the country, and the dignitaries in the court are all pampered, who is willing to go to the mountains and forests and eat wild vegetables?Mang Kun asked himself that he could not do this.

At that time, the Tianhua army only needs to besiege them for a period of time, and then promise a big profit.I'm afraid that these courtiers who have shown their loyalty in front of him will tie him up without hesitation and send him to the Tianhua army.

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Mang Kun finally came up with a compromise.

First, from the city's population of more than 20, [-] young and strong were recruited to defend the city.

Second, from the soldiers and horses in the north, [-] soldiers and horses were drawn to the south to help.

The third is to send envoys to the Tianhua army to convey Yunzhao's willingness to submit to Tianhua, hoping that they can suspend the offensive and buy time for Yunzhao.

Fourth, continue to plead for help from neighboring countries. As long as they are willing to rush to help, Yunzhao is willing to cede some neighboring territories and give them to them.

Fifth, order the prefectures that have not yet fallen to immediately recruit soldiers and horses to come to serve the king.

This time, Mang Kun was going to defeat this Tianhua army at all costs. Only in this way could the Tianhua army have some scruples and accept Yun Zhao's request for surrender.

Otherwise, if Tianhua Kingdom thinks that Yunzhao is very easy to conquer, it will have the heart to annex and completely destroy Yunzhao.

In late May, after the Tianhua army in the southern part of the Jinxiang Mansion had conquered towns in various places, they finally gathered their troops and began to cross the river to the north to advance towards the Chongguang Mansion.

At this time, the Chongguang Mansion had already been fortified and cleared, and the surrounding towns and cities were all empty, with nothing left.

The Tianhua army didn't take it seriously, the food and grass looted from the Golden Elephant Mansion was already enough for them to last for several months.What's more, there is the waterway of the Canglang River, which can continuously transport materials through ships.

When the Chinese army approached the city that day, they set up camp and surrounded Chongguang City without taking the initiative to attack.

When Chongguang City sent envoys to try to negotiate, they were driven back by the Tianhua Army, on the grounds that they had no intention of negotiating.

At this point, Mangkun had no choice but to put away his luck and build the city defense with all his strength, preparing to hold on until the reinforcements arrived.

But what surprised Yunzhao was that the Tianhua army surrounded the city like this and did not take an offensive.Could it be that they were waiting for Yun Zhao's reinforcements to arrive, and then gathered and wiped them out?
Isn't the Tianhua army too arrogant?When the reinforcements arrive, at least 10,000+ troops can be assembled, even if most of them are young and strong, relying on crowds, drowning can drown them.

With a feeling of rejoicing and worrying, Yun Zhao waited in full force, feeling uneasy.

And at this moment, Yunzhao's envoys entered the capitals of Liyue and Wuze respectively.
