Although Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, was extremely suspicious of Yuan Yao and Yu Chengde's stagnation of the army, he did not notice the surprise attack of Yuan's army.

After one or two days, Yangzhou military spies were still spread all over the world to explore military information, but now the Yuan army has quietly arrived at Fuling City, which is only twenty or thirty miles north of Liyang.

Since Yuan Yao traveled late at night, he changed into civilian clothes during the day and pretended to be scattered in the fields for spring plowing.

It was precisely because of this strategy that Yuan Jun avoided enemy spies all the way and quietly advanced to Liyang.

It was not until the night fell that the Yuan army units reassembled in Fuling City, lined up here in full armed costumes, and cleared out the Yangzhou military spies hidden around them, without a single fish that had escaped the net.

The main general Yuan Yao was firm and held sharp, with a sharp sword hanging on his waist. The joy on his face seemed to be like a spring breeze, and he said with a serious and deep voice:

"Dear soldiers, since we sneaked from Chengde, we have avoided the enemy's eyes and ears and ears, and then we have quietly reached this point."

"Next, our army only needs to take advantage of the situation to capture Liyang tonight and capture and kill Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou. Then the entire Jiangbei counties will be the territory of my Yuan family in the future, and all the soldiers will have the merit of pioneering at that time."

"At that time, the soldiers will be rewarded and fame and fortune due to their merits."

"Soldiers, let us work together to eliminate the rebel Chen Wen and make contributions!"

"Kill kill..."

"Eliminate the rebels, Yuan's family is majestic and unyielding, and is proud and forever."

A stern and vigorous speech roared loudly under the guidance of the generals and schools, as if shattering the heaven and earth, making it vaguely heard in the city for several miles.

Through these words, Yuan Yao also belittled Chen Wen as a traitor and transformed himself into a righteous army that liberated the prefectures and counties, which was a reversal of black and white.

Because, according to the theory of the common people, the governor of Yangzhou Chen Wen was granted by the imperial court, and he not only led his troops to seize Jiujiang County, but also occupied the prefecture's capital Shouchun.

Now we will crack down on it firmly and kill it.

In fact, the Yuan family was the "rebellious minister" who wanted to occupy prefectures and counties.

But only in troubled times, only those who have supreme military power have the right to speak.

Only fists can prove everything.

If Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, was unable to expel Yuan's family, he could only be slandered as a "rebel thief."

Seeing that the soldiers in the army were now full of morale and high in mood, Yuan Yao was extremely satisfied, so he immediately opened the city with his troops and stormed the night and attacked Liyang City without any obstacles.

Because all the Yangzhou military spies from Fuling to Liyang have been eliminated.

Therefore, even though the Yuan army was very powerful at this moment, the Liyang defenders still could not detect the abnormality.

It was only ten miles before reaching Liyang that Yuan Yao ordered his tribes to hide in the night, and then began to order people to raise torches outside the city.

One hand, two handfuls...

Scattered flames gradually surged into the sky.

Just as the city defense patrol guards in the city discovered something abnormal and were about to investigate what was wrong, suddenly, there were loud shouts at the gate of the city, followed by a burst of fighting sounds.

Looking at him, I saw a group of Yangzhou soldiers being chopped over to the ground and wailing in a pool of blood.

The armed forces that were wearing black clothes, which were about a hundred or more people suddenly attacked were also very powerful.

Even though there were soldiers rushing to help at this moment, they were still killed and retreated step by step under the crowds of people.

It's really... the combat power of this sergeant is too weak.

Since thousands of professional soldiers under Chen Wen's command were completely destroyed in the Huai River battle, he fled south to Chengde and since Liyang, he has only collected county soldiers along the way and barely reorganized more than two or three thousand people.

But the combat power of the county soldiers... is not enough to see at all.

"Don't be in love with the battle, quickly go to the city gate to welcome the army into the city."

Between the battle formation, a burly general tore apart the disguise and showed a serious expression. At first glance, he saw Zhou Tai, a capable general under Yuan Yao.

And his goal this time is also extremely obvious, that is, to control the city gate.

As long as you can drive away all the guards at the gate of the city and let the army outside the city enter the city, the overall situation will be decided.

Therefore, he took more than a hundred personal guards to the city gate.

Throughout his own battle, the soldiers were brave enough to kill the Yangzhou soldiers who came to stop him.

But as Zhou Tai's troops became more and more brave in the assault, their intentions gradually became exposed, and teams of people attacked like tides.

Although the enemy is numerous and we are few, Zhou Tai shouted angrily: "Brothers, if you don't want to be surrounded and killed here, you will quickly break the siege and capture the city."

"Success or failure is here!"

With an angry roar, the potential of more than a hundred soldiers was also stimulated, and then they waved their swords in great anger and killed them everywhere.

Move rapidly towards the city gate.

After a long battle, Zhou Tai led his troops to the city gate.

When the "creaking, creaking" vibrated, the wide and thick city gate was slowly opened.

Seeing that the city gate had opened, the battle was full of fatigue, Zhou Tai, who had already sweated profusely, breathed a sigh of relief.

His mission is completed.

Next, let’s see the performance of the main army.

Just as he was still thinking about it, the Yuan army units that had been waiting outside the city for a long time rushed over like a tide and formed a formation to kill the defenders in the city.

The general facing him was General Xu Chu of the Central Army.

Xu Chu rode his horse and thrust his sword straight into the Yangzhou military formation. He raised his sword and fell, and slashed several soldiers to the ground with neatness. Then he didn't take a look at him at all, and then began to carry his troops deep into the battle group.

Not only that, after a moment, another main force in the rear entered the city.

The general facing him was Ji Ling, the general of Zhenwei Central Army.

As early as Yuan Yao's plan had been decided to attack Liyang, he sent a whistle to Zuquanjiao City for several days to inform him of his detailed plan and ordered him to cooperate.

Therefore, after Yuan Yao led his troops to the Fuling line, Ji Ling hid as if he were to hide secretly outside Liyang, waiting for the good news.

And what we are waiting for is this moment.

As early as the time of sending troops, Yuan Yao sent Zhou Tai to select more than a hundred elite soldiers to take the opportunity to sneak into Liyang first, waiting for his own signal and launching action to seize the city gate.

Since Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, did not find any signs of Yuan's army moving south from Chengde, and there were no scouts who found any clues along the way, he did not impose martial law on Liyang.

Since Liyang is located in the estuary of the Yangtze River in the north and borders the south of the Yangtze River, it is an extremely prosperous city.

If it weren't for an emergency, even Chen Wen would not dare to close the city at will to prevent it from arousing civil unrest.

In particular, all the signs indicate that Yuan Jun was dragging Yu Chengde to organize the military farm and there was no sign of going south. Under such circumstances, Chen Wen did not dare to close the city at will.

Zhou Tai naturally seized this god-given opportunity and took advantage of the opportunity to sneak into the city to hide, waiting for the signal.

After receiving the order, he suddenly took the initiative to seize the city gate with the internal and external forces and welcomed the army into the city.

Otherwise, with Liyang's strength and strength, even though Yuan Jun's whereabouts were mysterious and unaware of it, it would be difficult to break through the city.

This night, Liyang finally became a sleepless night.

Since the main troops of the Yuan army took advantage of the situation and entered the city, the county soldiers who had low combat power were almost defeated at once, and most of them were easily surrendered.

Until dawn, there was a strong smell of blood in the city.

As for the Yangzhou Governor Chen Wen, he was also captured by Ji Ling himself in his sleep.
