In a blink of an eye, it was already the seventeenth day of the Battle of Youzhou.

I sat on the only intact Jingtai Gate Tower in the inner city, accepting congratulations and gifts from the soldiers who were patrolling the city, as well as a routine victory ceremony for prisoners parades, and watching some of them embark on a new journey and battlefield.

However, in the final final battle that just ended, the central army headed by me made a very simple mistake, or it obviously underestimated the other party's willingness and determination to fight to the death. I originally wanted to catch a big fish, but I didn't expect that the one who crashed into the net was a big tuna with rampage and brutal force...

Although there is a preset geographical advantage and home ambush advantage, the number of attacks and kills from the reserved gap still exceeds the expected upper limit of our army. I thought that being able to surround and eat one-third to half of the opponent's military strength was similar, but I didn't expect that the opponent did not shrink the reorganization force, but instead threw all his bets into it;

As a result, the subsequent tactical purpose of the enemy was cut off in half but failed to achieve the expected effect; the clamp attacks launched by several complete battalions used to block the breakthrough of the city wall were broken, and after the enemy went on all carelessly, a huge gap was broken again after the initial encirclement;

Then, under the impact of Kang Yu, who exceeded the pre-Fu Huai Army's position and attacked too much, the pocket arrays under the two relatively intact armies in the outer city were almost expanded and broken, and turned into a dead end.

Because the reciprocated guns and cannons were overheated and unable to cool down, or because of the fatigue and miss accumulated in high-intensity attacks, various explosions and accidental injuries occurred frequently, and the enemy rushed to the front and fell into close combat, at least a dozen preset lines were broken through and dispersed, and could not be contained or reorganized in a short time;

Even some areas and fronts that control key points did not show any major wavering or signs of retreat, they were also trapped in the dilemma and problems of insufficient mobilization of troops and serious shortage of manpower at the moment, morale declined and initiative subsided. They were leaked by some small groups of enemies, causing new chaos and losses in the rear.

If the last three men had not pleaded for their own initiative and took my direct-seller from the inner city to kill decisively, and blocked the enemy's forces, which were obviously at the end of their power, but were crazy like chicken blood, and encouraged and boosted a little weak morale. I was afraid that they would really highlight the pockets and encirclement preset by the Huai Army, which would produce a series of unexpected changes and chain reactions.

As the price of forced ending, the pro-direct operation, which acted as the last firewall and mainstay, lost hundreds of people, and the three who were the first to be hit were injured. After stomping and knocking down the third enemy general, the enemy general who was knocked down to the front ended ended with all his strength and poked the leg armor. Although the quality of the forged steel armor was excellent and there was no protection from the protection, a large piece of blue and purple bruises left, which made it a little inconvenient to walk.

This battle also exposed other problems:

For example, after a series of victory and superiority to defeat the enemy, they inevitably have some underestimation and mentality of winning; even in order to seek completeness and seek the overall situation, the strength is too long, which seriously weakens the cluster advantage of the firearm array; the recruits who are supplemented with the troops lack resilience and change in the face-to-face battle;

There are also poor maintenance and maintenance of firearms after continuous battles; after the street fighting begins, there is a certain degree of chaos and deviation in the delivery and supply against the enemy at the moment; and a series of problems from top to bottom; further summary and reflection are needed, and even rewards, punishments, incentives and improvements are provided.

But no matter what, after paying seven camps, they were successively destroyed, and eleven camps suffered losses of more than three or four, and the last established live force in Youzhou and even in the states in front of the mountain was declared to be destroyed as a lingering sound. The battle of the Northern Expedition can finally come to an end temporarily and come to an end.

In this not-so-perfect ambush battle in the urban area, at least more than 20,000 were beheaded, and nearly more than 30,000 were captured. In addition, there were about 110,000 surviving households in the city, which were included in the control of our Huai Town.

The affiliated Huai Army cavalry were also chasing the remnants of the Pinglu Army camp outside the city that were constantly dispersed. Almost a steady stream of prisoners were arrested and sent back one after another, but there were not many real soldiers, mainly those civilians and Ding Zhuang who were conscripted and brought along the way.

Then, like a chain reaction, what followed was news and good news from another secondary battlefield, as a comprehensive change of hands in Yingzhou, one of the four towns in Pinglu (now in Chaoyang, Liaoning Province);

Just two days ago, Liu Qi led the Fourth Battalion Navy to land in Pingzhou, northeast of Youzhou, and along the coastline, they raided many cities behind Yingzhou. Finally, under the besieged Zhouzhiliucheng, they successfully met with the 20,000 vassal coalition forces heading southwest of Liao, and defeated them with artillery.

Since then, Huai Town has been connected with western Liaoning, Liaodong and even the entire Andong area through the land controlled area, and completely transformed the entire Bohai Sea into an inland sea surrounded by the chassis of Huai Town.

It can be said that the corresponding news was worn very quickly on this large plain. Just by relying on some of the roars and scouts who were going out to investigate and patrol, they often made some cities and towns in the north of Youzhou and the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain, and opened their doors to hold the cow and carried wine, and saw the wind falling.

Although there may still be some remnants and potential resistance in some places, the current trend in Huai Town is not only an insignificant problem of Jieyu; it can be handed over to the subsequent armed settlement team and the newly formed garrison team, and through low-intensity public security war and armed clearance work, it can be slowly cleaned up and concocted.

In fact, with the onset of the Battle of Youzhou, the newly formed Sixth Defense Guards and Seventh Army was already on standby in the rear of Huaibei, south of the Yellow River. After half of the 23 battalions were added, they could be moved to Hepingludao, Hebei.

Although the new defense and garrison battalions have less than 40% of the equipment rate of old-fashioned firearms and other ones are filled with cold weapons, but they are used to fight and suppress. The only traditional and old-fashioned armies in the north now have advantages and advantages.

Although there were all kinds of flaws and imperfections before, the entire Youzhou area and situation I took over in the end was still a relatively ideal result;

In addition to the fact that Wang Yuan was the leader of the Party to promptly surrender and lead the way, and to protect the few people named after the famous party, the many traditional generals of Pinglu Road represented by the Youzhou Jiedushi, as well as the many resources and interest groups that have been in chaos since the operation and development of generations, can be said to have been almost destroyed in this war and completely slumped.

They were first forced to fight to the death and consumed in the offensive and defense of the city, and then they were killed by Han Zhongyan's internal cleaning. In the end, the rest were carried into the guards of Yacheng. Under the unparalleled intensive fire of the Huai Army, they were almost spared from the Burning City Fire.

Even if some hiding distant tribes survive, as long as the main family members who originally formed the backbone of the Pinglu army no longer exist, there will be almost no chance of revival or resistance.

However, as a vassal of many vassal systems and general families and relatively weak subordinates, most of the local bureaucratic systems in Youzhou were able to preserve and continue to serve my newly established ruling order.

In view of their active cooperation and preservation of a large number of local documentary archives, I even gave me comfort and encouragement.

Of course, this is just a temporary stopgap. After the takeover personnel from Huaizhen arrive soon, they will be sent to Qingzhou in batches to receive re-learning and re-training according to their corresponding ranks and expertise;

Just like those foreign vassals from western Liaoning, Liaodong and Haidong and retained personnel, they will only be released and continued to serve in the annual comprehensive assessment (daily identification and gradual transformation), but they will often no longer be the familiar location and place; it can also be said to be a kind of process result of boiling frogs in warm water.

The next step is to solve the seven states that have become particularly empty due to the lack of main combat power, and completely incorporate the Pinglu Road territory into its next step.

During the period when my own camp rested and subsequently transported personnel and supplies in Youzhou, the wounded and prisoners were transported batch by batch;
