The Zhaopu defense line in Xiangshui Cave is divided into three layers. The higher the terrain, the more dangerous the terrain, the smaller the defense circle. Correspondingly, for the attackers, it is much more difficult than the previous layer. Although there are only five thousand soldiers on the top floor, the strange rocks around Xiangshui Cave are rugged and grass grows. Zhao and Huang use the natural rocks here to dig trenches. The crisscrossing bunkers are mostly covered by huge rocks above their heads. From the bottom, there is almost nothing to see except the stones. There is another wonderful thing here, which is Xiangshui Cave, which allows only one person to enter and exit.

, unable to hide troops or people, but there is a constant stream of water flowing out inside, which ensures that although the Zhao-Huang coalition forces are on a stone mountain, they will not be defeated due to lack of water. As for the food, the grain that originally brought 50,000 or 60,000 people now seems a bit surplus because Gu Taichong and Chen Ang's army were annihilated. Zhao Pu thought that when the Northern Expedition Army captured the first two layers of defense, these foods would be enough for his last five thousand elites to reach more than a month. At that time, the form might change.

Perhaps, Yun Zhao would accept his surrender conditions and his requirements were not high, so he would let himself, Huang Xuanhua and his direct descendants leave. As for the others, he would not be able to control them. As long as he could go back, he would always make a comeback and stay with the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood. In the end, he could bring his wealth to the capital to enjoy the rest of his life, or go further.

He thought so, but Yun Zhao didn't think so.

This time, the private army general who came to Luzhou was not prepared to let anyone go. Only in this way could he complete the task of killing chickens and monkeys in Luzhou and shocking the world's wealthy families. In order to achieve this, he almost gave up the Park Demeng Group in Guizhou. If it weren't for the sudden internal strife in Shangjing, Shi Gan took risks and stabilized the situation in Guizhou. Now the Park Demeng Group has long been besieged in Guizhou City and is in danger.

As the form changes, of course, our own strategy will also change. If Park Demeng's group wants to rescue the siege, it no longer needs to send troops to Guizhou, conquer Luzhou, and force Tongzhou. It is not afraid of going to Beijing. If they are anxious, the elite guards placed in the south will have to return to Weizhou and defend Shangjing, and the siege of Guizhou will be resolved.

The middle of winter is coming, and the north is now snowing in the north, and the transportation of material supplies is already difficult. After capturing Luzhou, my vision will change and strive to win a wealthy land for the southern expedition army before it snows in the south that can supply the entire crossing army with supplies.

This place is not Luzhou, and of course it is not Tongzhou. I think after I conquered Luzhou, there will inevitably be some changes in Shangjing.

Yun Zhao looked at the enemy's town in Xiangshui Cave in the distance, and his mind had already floated to Jingzhou, Jamuha, and Malihan should have been carrying out his orders now.

The fleet led by Cao Xinyu of the Navy should have been ready to go.

Yun Zhao smiled, revealing her neat white teeth. What does it mean to be a fake shot? I believe that everyone will be shocked by then.

The roar of the thunderbolt cannon pulled Yun Zhao's mind back to the battlefield. The dense stone bullets flew up in the air, almost covering the sky, and looked very spectacular, but I believe that when they fell down, the person who was hit would never think so. The place chosen for this position is indeed good, and the uppermost defense line is almost impeccable. But the two floors below are not so stable.

The wooden fence was destroyed, and the chest walls built by stones were collapsed in a hurry. Some crossbows arranged on the defense line had not yet been launched. They were smashed into two pieces. The powerful shock caused half of the crossbow to fly high into the sky and fall heavily.

In one round, two rounds, the Northern Army continuously bombarded the opponent's positions, but the infantry did not move for a long time. It seemed that they were preparing to use thunderbolt cannons to fill the first floor of the position.

The Zhao Huang coalition forces could not attack the thunderbolt artillery. The private army had everything, but they lacked such large-scale long-range attack weapons. Faced with such a blow, they could not be used except to endure it.

"Prince, add some materials and force them to the second floor! In this way, after our soldiers occupied the first floor of the other party, they had a support point and slowly pushed them to the top floor." Meng Yao said with a smile. "It's just that it's not easy to refine the turbulent oil, and now it's a waste of some."

Yun Zhao nodded slightly, "I believe that it won't be used much, these guys will have to scare Luo away!"

"I just want them to run away. If the prince hadn't said he wanted to bring tens of thousands of soldiers to the north to work as a coolie, I would have been too lazy to put this effort into it!" Meng Yao said.

Yun Zhao laughed loudly, "Although it is not easy to refine ignition oil, the population is more valuable. I want people, don't have oil."

"As for order!" Meng Yao laughed.

The thunderbolt cannon sounded again. Under the cover of countless stone bullets, the Demon-Subduing Crossbow loaded on the wheelbarrow advanced for about a hundred steps and stopped. The baggage soldiers tinkered with them for a while. When they walked away, a pottery jar was hung on the arrow of each Demon-Subduing Crossbow.

"Start!" With the command of the front enemy commander, the roar of the demon-suffering crossbow resounded throughout the battlefield. The shooting effect of the crossbow arrows was not good. Most of them were shot on the huge rocks on the position, but the entire defense line of Xiangshui Cave became panicked because a pungent smell began to spread on the battlefield.

"Furious tinder oil, that's fierce tinder oil, it's almost covered with sand and soil!" The officers who had some knowledge shouted in panic. But it was easy to find stones here, and it was really difficult to find so much sand and soil. When they saw the enemy's position below, there was a little burning spark on the Demon-Subduing Crossbow, and there was a stir on the defense line, and then a loud noise, the defensive soldiers from the place where the most hit by the fierce tinder oil jumped out of the cover and ran desperately towards the second level of defense point.

One place began to escape, and other places were convenient for the group to take action. The infantry of the Northern Army did not dispatch a single soldier, and the first line of defense had collapsed.

The rockets below were not launched for a long time. All the soldiers on the mountain were watching the soldiers running and running like a joke. Until almost all the soldiers almost escaped, the rockets below finally shot out.

The first line of defense suddenly fell into a sea of ​​fire. Even though it was winter, the scorching heat wave still rushed to the top of the mountain. Zhao Huang and others changed their colors. The rolling smoke rolled up the mountain with the wind, and everyone could not help but cover their noses.

Not much ignition oil was fired, and the fire was soon extinguished. Looking at the first line of defense, the huge rocks were almost all smoked black. It was not until this time that the infantry of Lucheng Camp began to start and advanced towards the empty line of defense.

Huang Xuanwu's face changed, and Zhao Pu's face also changed.

Neither of them were fools. At this time, they had figured out what the other party wanted to do. The other party did not think about burning them all with fire, but wanted to force themselves to surrender. This attack was more like a demonstration than an attack.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of despair.

No need to think that when the opponent occupys the first line of defense, he will inevitably use the same trick again and force all the soldiers to the top of the mountain. It is okay to accommodate 5,000 people on the small mountain top, but if the opponent forces 30,000 infantry to the top of the mountain, he is afraid that even a needle can't be inserted into the top of the mountain. At that time, the opponent will hit a stone bullet, and he will probably die.

"This battle cannot be fought!" Huang Xuanwu murmured.

"What should I do? Stop my weapons and surrender and let the mermaid meat?" Zhao Pu's face was full of pain. They did not expect that the Northern Army would have fought this way.

"We cannot crack the opponent's fierce tincture, unless we want to be burned to death by the opponent, or smashed to death, or starved to death!" Huang Xuanwu sighed, "General Zhao, 30,000 people have come up. The food that could be eaten for 5,000 people for a month can only be eaten for six days. What should we do after six days?"

"If we don't fight, we will let the mermaid meat!" Zhao Pu gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, we have to fight a battle. They want to use this method to force us, so we launch a counterattack and rush down from the mountain. We have 30,000 people!"

"Try it!" Huang Xuanwu said helplessly.

The Zhao Huang coalition launched a counter-attack. Looking at the soldiers of Lucheng Camp who had already occupied the first line of defense, Yun Zhao turned to look at Meng Yao, "It's okay, I'm not stupid yet, I still know how to fight for a life-threatening blow."

"Moths flew into the flames!" Meng Yao sneered, "I'm not afraid of them attacking. If I want to shake my Lucheng Camp, they are not qualified."

Facing the rushing enemy, the short shooting sound of thunderbolt turret suddenly sounded, and the short arrows as dense as bees and locusts swept the opponent to the ground layer by layer, and the corpses rolled down. The soldiers of Lucheng Camp built these corpses, and in a very short time, they formed a wall of flesh.

The attack continued, and death continued. Under the tragic blow of the Demon-Subduing Crossbow and the Thunderbolt Fire, the attacking enemy was shot scattered. Ding Qiu carried an iron spear and strode upwards. Every step he took was a life. Soon, facing the rushing enemy, Ding Qiu rushed to the second line of defense.

The follow-up troops followed Ding Qiu and gained a foothold on the second line of defense at an extremely fast speed and began to expand the results of the battle horizontally. As more and more soldiers of the Lucheng Camp rushed up, the soldiers of the Zhaohuang coalition began to be unable to resist the opponent's attack and were forced to retreat to the top of the mountain.

From the beginning of the war, within less than half a day, Lucheng Camp occupied two opponents' defense lines in succession, and at this time, Wang Qiang's fourth battalion had not yet joined the battlefield.

The Zhengbei Army, which occupied the second line of defense, did not continue to attack, but stopped because Yun Zhao wanted a population, not a life.

Yun Zhao was bored. When fighting in the north, he fought with the Mongolian army almost every battle. The fighting will of these private soldiers of the aristocratic families was really poor. He made him, a fierce general who once fought with his life on the battlefield and shook his head, "It's no point, I'm back, Meng Yao, if Zhao and Huang want to surrender, you tell them directly that I will only give them one condition. Surrender immediately, so that you can save your life. Go to the north to plant a field for me for a few years, otherwise you will die!"

"Your Majesty, please go back and rest! Leave it here to me."

Yun Zhao took a few steps to beat the horse and suddenly turned around, "Oh by the way, you should be careful at night. I guess these two unwilling guys might come to attack at night."
