"Sir." Zhou Er stood beside Zhou Shixiong, watching the Li Chao army fill the first and second trenches, and couldn't help but ask for a fight. Zhou Shixiong shook his head, "Wait a minute."

Zhou Shixiong knew that artillery could not cause fatal damage to Zheng Zhuang's army, and the result was the same, whether it was four or eight gates. However, he could not let Zheng Zhuang's Li Chao army meet with Zheng Yiguan, Heping Prefecture. In that case, it would be meaningless to attack Chunmei City. In order to achieve the goal of fighting less, Zhou Shixiong painstakingly arranged a trench formation, and the result would be known soon.

Zhou Er did not wait too long. When Li Chaojun arrived at the middle of the road, Zhou Shixiong loudly ordered, "Zhou Er, the artillery is fully opened."

Four long-awaited artillery were lit by gunpowder, and four projectiles accurately hit the same trench. After the projectile landed, it hit the thick wooden boards in the trench, and violently accelerated the ejection forward, tearing all the objects in front of it into pieces. Each projectile created a blood path of more than ten meters long. In the trench patronized by the projectile, at least about 10% of the soldiers were injured.

The safe trench suddenly turned into a flesh-and-blood killing field. The Yulin Guards could not accept this change for a moment. Some people climbed out of the trench and ran forward, while others muttered to themselves like a dream, which seemed to be frightened. Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom The four bullets patronized another crowded trench, and the results were also satisfactory.

Fifteen thousand Yulin Guards were distributed in four trenches. Zheng Zhuang and Qu Boda were very lucky. There was no bullet ball in the place where they hid. Qu Boda pricked up his ears and listened for a while, frowned and said, "King of Qingdu, why is the artillery fired in Chunmei City so much faster?" Qu Boda of course had seen artillery. He knew that the artillery would need to be fired, filling medicine, building up, and loading. It took at least half a quarter of an hour for a team of excellent artillery players to complete the above procedures. Chunmei City's artillery fire speed was obviously much faster, which surprised him.

Zheng Zhuang had no intention of discussing such technical issues with Qu Boda. He understood that he had been fooled. The Northern Army in Chunmei City must have had more than four artillery pieces. He just let the vanguard army tempt him to take the bait just now! But he didn't have time to examine his underestimation of the enemy. The situation is very clear at the moment. The way to wait for the enemy's artillery to run to the next trench during the break, he had to find a way to escape from the artillery covered area.

Zhou Shixiong did not give time Zheng Zhuang thought of a solution. He commanded the artillery on the top of the city, focusing on attacking the fallen enemy troops and driving them forward. Looking at the enemy troops fleeing in a hurry, Zhou Shixiong laughed. In order to maximize the effectiveness of the trench formation, he not only laid thick wooden boards in the trench to increase the number of projectile ejections, but also ordered people to cast hollow projectiles and use weight reduction to extend the range of artillery. Now it seems that his plan is very successful.

"Zhou Er, prepare to attack." The artillery chased the enemy's butt, whether they were hiding in the trenches or on the road, the whistling projectiles told them a truth, don't stop. The Yulin Guard, who was still orderly just now, has now become a group of deserters who only know how to move forward. As for the great Qingdu King Zheng Zhuang, he will do whatever he wants to die.

Seeing that the enemy had collapsed, Zhou Shixiong had to beat the dogs in pain. He sent all the troops in his hands to chase the enemy, leaving only two hundred artillerymen. The defeated soldiers of nearly 20,000 people were worse than the combat effectiveness of 20,000 pigs. He was chased by Zhou Er for a day and a night. Except for Zhao Zhongshi who was in a wrong momentum and Zheng Zhuang who was rescued by the guards, the Yulin Guard was almost wiped out.

"Young Master, we're meeting again." Zhou Shixiong was surprised to see Qu Boda, who claimed to be his acquaintance in the city lord's mansion. The acting lord of Guangnan Prefecture was very sad. Because he was dressed in a noble official uniform, he was identified as the leader of the enemy army and followed his subordinates to keep an eye on it. As a result, it was like this.

"Master Ji Mansion, Lord Ruan Phuc's affairs have nothing to do with me. I hope Master Ji Mansion will not take his anger." He is worthy of being a smart person. When he saw Zhou Shixiong, Qu Boda first cleared up his relationship with Ruan Phucbao and pleaded for his life.

"Even so, I can't let you go. Isn't the District Master the North Route Army commander of Li Chao?" I learned from the captain that this extremely unlucky Qu Boda, in addition to being the acting governor of the North Route Army, was also the commander of the North Route Army. Zhou Er arrested him, as if he was right.

"Master Ji, I believe you also know that Guangnan Prefecture and the Nguyen Phuc family have formed an alliance. Although I have no choice but to lead troops into the country, you and my family are allies, so the Lord Ji will not make things difficult for you." What Qu Boda said was not completely nonsense. Ji Hongchang took over as the head of Lang Shan Prefecture, and he did inherit the power of his adoptive father Nguyen Phuc. It is not wrong to say that he was a member of the Nguyen Phuc family.

"Let the tyrants for the young master of the throne." Zhou Shixiong couldn't help but smile when he saw that the pride of heaven was so afraid of death, and then ordered people to let go of Qu Boda.

"Go to the Lord of Ji Mansion in the lower quarter." Qu Boda was too tactful and knelt down and bowed to Zhou Shixiong as soon as he loosened his ties. He calculated seriously that he had never given such a big tribute to Li Zhenzong.

"Please get up and give me a seat." Zhou Shixiong didn't like to kneel down to others, and he still felt that he could feel it.

"Mr. District Master, I heard that the soldiers of Guangnan Prefecture were left at Hedong City by Zheng Zhuang, I wonder if this matter is true or not?" The original Northern Army was mainly Guangnan Prefecture Army and Guangzhi Prefecture Army. Guangnan Prefecture is a hard-core royalist, and Guangzhi Prefecture is the direct line of Zheng Zhuang. This combination clearly monitors Guangnan Prefecture. Zheng Zhuang led the Yulin Guard to Heping Prefecture, and the soldiers of Guangzhi Prefecture were sent to Heping Prefecture by him, and half of them were in Chunmei City.

"It's true, Lord Ji, I have a ruthless request. I hope Lord Ji will be approved." Nei Boda can understand what he wants to do without saying Zhou Shixiong. Not to mention that the two of them are not allies, even if they are really allies, Zhou Shixiong will not let Nei Boda lead the troops of Guangnan Prefecture to leave. Therefore, Zhou Shixiong did not give Qu Boda a chance to ask. "Since it's a ruthless request, there is no need to say it. Take the young master down to rest. I am tired of this man."

Although this battle failed to completely wipe out Zheng Zhuang's main force, the northern expedition of the Li Dynasty army, which lasted half a year, was basically over. Zheng Zhuang was lucky to escape back to Qinghua safely. However, this war did not really end, because Zheng Yiguan, the Heping Prefecture, remained safely in Heping City.

The soldiers of Guangnan Prefecture were not lucky. Zheng Zai and Ruan Phuket were afraid of being beaten by Zheng Zhuang. They hid in Hedong City and did not dare to attack. After dawn, the soldiers of Guangnan Prefecture found that they could not find the acting master. At the same time, they also discovered the secret of the disappearance of the Yulin Guard and scattered. Most of them were captured by Zhou Shixiong on the way back to the Li Dynasty, while a small number were missing.

The Vietnamese army in Hedong City did not confirm until a day later that the enemy's mutiny was not a plan. Although it was not clear why such a thing happened, it was still very gratifying to save his life. As for sending troops into Heping Prefecture to pursue Zheng Zhuang? Whoever wants to go, just don't find them.

Zhou Shixiong waited for the left and right before the arrival of Zheng Zai or the Nguyen Phuc coalition. He sent someone to inquire and found out that the army in Hedong City had no intention of causing trouble for Zheng Yiguan or Zheng Zhuang. As for whether Zheng Zai in Shenglong Mansion wanted to teach Zheng Yiguan a lesson, no one knew for the time being.

Zhou Shixiong was stunned after reading the newspaper. These are all gods! It’s really unreasonable to have such a play in war and continue for so many years without being destroyed!

Zhou Shixiong could not wait for Zheng Zai's army, so of course he had no chance to take advantage of the situation. He was helpless to send a message to Ningping City, asking Van Gandhi and Zheng Dong to lead troops to assist.

Outsiders thought that Zheng Yiguan was old and godly, but in fact, Zheng Yiguan was really shaking the fan, but the frequency of shaking was very high, and the fan almost turned into a phantom. Zheng Yiguan was very hot, and from his heart to his body, he didn't expect such a result to happen. He just wanted to preserve his strength and did not send troops to attack Chunmei City. Zheng Zhuang dared to lose to him. It was so rogue!

"Is this the strategy among the thirty-six strategies? Or is it a trick to make a big fuss?" Zheng Yiguan really wanted to use this strategy to explain Zheng Zhuang's defeat, but it was not right to trap it. No matter which strategy, it did not aim to completely fail!

Zheng Yiguan's two sons Zheng Wencheng and Zheng Wu saw that their father was still crazy and could not bear it. "Father, no matter which strategy the King of Qingdu used, the Li Dynasty army had withdrawn from Qinghua. What should we do?" Zheng Wencheng deserved his name very well. He read the Four Books and Five Classics very thoroughly, and pointed out the key points as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Wencheng, as a father, always said that there is no way out. There is still a turning point in this matter, and there is no need to panic." Zheng Yiguan comforted his two sons, but his legs were so scared that he became weak. He had to be afraid that Zheng Zhuang would be defeated and could not be able to live in peace even if he returned to Qinghua. It was almost impossible for him to get help from him. In order to send a letter of fame, in order to send a letter of fame, the revenge of Shanluo Mansion will definitely come. The Northern Vietnamese Dynasty no longer has a place to settle down.

"Father, I heard from the defeated soldiers that there are dozens of cannons in Chunmei City. Although this Heping City is high and thick, it may not be able to withstand the bombardment of dozens of cannons!" Zheng Wu was more pragmatic than his brother. At least he knew that he was looking for someone to find out about Chunmei City. He was considered a normal person.

"When Wu can tell that Chunmei City is occupied by that person?" Zheng Yiguan has not yet figured out who defeated Zheng Zhuang. In fact, he cannot be blamed, because Zhou Shixiong did not give up the banner from beginning to end. How could others know who occupied Chunmei City? Zheng Wu shook his head.

Zheng Yiguan really wanted to abandon the city and flee to Qinghua. With the more than 10,000 troops in his hands, Zheng Zhuang would definitely be warmly treated. Maybe it would be unknown if he gave him a mansion. However, Zheng Yiguan was reluctant to let him run the Heping Mansion, which had been running for decades, and at the same time he also had doubts about Zheng Zhuang's ability and could not make up his mind for a while.

Ten days later, an army of up to 50,000 surrounded Hepingfu, cutting off Zheng Yiguan's multiple choice questions. Of course, the army under the city was the coalition forces of Zhou Shixiong, Van Gandhi and Zheng Dong, among them the Guangnan Prefecture soldiers in Qubéda. Zhou Shixiong did not equip them with weapons, but only asked more than 5,000 Guangnan Prefecture soldiers to be responsible for flag hunting and serving as professional cheerleaders.
