Chapter 40 Conquer Yunzhou, Points Skyrocket

A few days later.

Outside Yunzhou City, flags were flying and drums were beating loudly.

Chang Yuchun, deputy marshal of Longcheng soldiers and horses and general of Zhengnan, wearing Mingguang armor and a sword on his waist, stood proudly on horseback outside Yunzhou City.

Behind him, the army of Dragon City marched out in full force to conquer the south. Even the heavy supplies and auxiliary soldiers were issued with weapons and joined the army in attacking the city.

Today, Chang Yuchun is about to launch a general attack on Yunzhou City, which has been under siege for several days and the morale of the defenders in the city has dropped to freezing point. He vows to seize the city in one fell swoop and is determined to win it.

Jin King Chen Huaian, who was facing the Turkic enemy forces in Longguan, the territory far north of Shuobei, had already dispatched eight hundred miles to urgently order Chang Yuchun to attack the city quickly.

Capture Yunzhou, kill the enemy general, and completely destroy the enemy's morale.

In fact, it was Chen Huaian who hoped that Chang Yuchun would capture Yunzhou City as soon as possible and use his accumulated system points to redeem troops and weapons to attack Shuobei City.

Ever since Liang Erhu, the former leader of the Yunhui Army, had forgotten his ancestors, surrendered to the enemy and rebelled against the Turkic barbarians, and had joined forces and refused to leave the city to fight, Chen Huaian and the Longcheng Northern Expedition army had lost their strength and tactical advantages, let alone being able to defeat them individually.

Neither the Dragon City Iron Buddha Tu, nor the Black Armor Army, nor the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are good at siege warfare.

Using cavalry to attack a city is purely a matter of attacking mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns - a thankless effort.

Chen Huaian would not be stupid enough to use the tens of thousands of remaining infantry to attack a city garrisoned by 200,000 enemy troops.

Therefore, we can only set up camp in Panlong Pass to prevent the Turkic barbarian cavalry from going south to harm the people.

They only waited for the southern expedition army led by Chang Yuchun to break through Yunzhou and annihilate the Yunhui army defending the city, and then summon elite infantry to attack Shuobei City.

Different from the situation in which the Longcheng Northern Expedition Army was confronting the Turkic enemy forces, the Longcheng Southern Expedition Army led by Chang Yuchun never stopped siege operations during this period. The tall and solid walls of Yunzhou City were all destroyed by Longcheng. The catapults of the army conquering the south of the city were smashed into pieces.

They even had a head-to-head fight with the city defenders led by Yunhui Army General Wu Qingyun outside Yunzhou City, face to face with gongs and drums.

It was that tough battle that brought the morale of the Yunzhou defenders to a freezing point in one fell swoop, and even defeated the general Wu Qingyun again.

At this moment, Wu Qingyun, the commander-in-chief of the Yunhui Army, was also "sitting" on top of the Qingyuan Gate (North Gate) tower of Yunzhou City to command.

He was sitting in a wheelchair, holding down the soldiers guarding the city, and was not allowed to lay down their weapons and surrender.

Because a few days ago, Wu Qingyun tried to reverse the situation of the war and awaken the morale of the defenders, so he personally led an army of 50,000 people out of the city to charge into battle, hoping to give Chang Yuchun, who was besieging the city, a show of strength.

The result was that Wu Qingyun, who was aging prematurely under successive blows, was easily defeated by Chang Yuchun, the young and powerful Ming Dynasty's number one general.

His legs were accidentally trampled by a war horse, causing his ankle bones to shatter, and he could only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

"General, the bandits are attacking the city again!"

At this time, the soldier commander who stayed behind Wu Qingyun looked at the dark army outside the city, and continued with a solemn expression:

"General, the rebel army's siege battle today is far better than before. It seems that they plan to use the entire army to attack Yunzhou City!"

Wu Qingyun, who was sitting in a wheelchair, closed his eyes tightly and said nothing.

The commander of the soldiers said again: "General, most of the rebel troops are currently concentrated at Qingyuan Gate, and the rebel troops are weak in the Anding Gate (South Gate) area."

"General, it's still too late to abandon the city and break out of the siege. Once the rebels start to attack the city, it won't be that easy to break out of the siege——"

Before the soldier commander could finish his words, he felt a cold light flash before his eyes, and he lost consciousness. A head flew several meters away, leaving only a headless corpse that stumbled to the ground.

"General, calm down!"

The next second, dozens of soldiers gathered around Wu Qingyun knelt down and shouted in unison to the general to calm down.

Only then did Wu Qingyun suddenly open his eyes, his copper-bell eyes that had been sunken into the sockets for a long time looked around at the soldiers in front of him with a fierce look.

Then, he slowly raised the sword that had just beheaded the commander of the soldiers in his hand, and said word by word: "The war is imminent. Anyone who disrupts the morale of our army will be killed -"

"Those who are cowardly and afraid of fighting will be killed——"

"Anyone who surrenders to the traitor army will be beheaded——"

"Cut, chop, chop——"

For a moment, the crazy, incompetent, and irrational roars of General Wu Qingyun echoed everywhere on the walls of Yunzhou City.

Under the city, in front of the Dragon City's southern army.

General Chang Yuchun slowly drew out his saber. The cold blade, which had already killed a hundred people in just a few days, pointed directly at the top of Yunzhou City and gave the order: "Attack the city!"

"Siege the city!"

"Siege the city!"

"Siege the city!"

Hundreds of soldiers roared in unison, spreading the siege order issued by the general to the three armies, and the sound of beating drums immediately sounded.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired from Longcheng's southern army formation, and the arrows filled the sky like a sudden rain, hitting the already dilapidated Yunzhou city wall.

The rain of arrows was also mixed with super arrows fired by ballistas and stone bullets thrown by catapults, raining down on the Yunzhou city wall.

Under the cover of the crossbowmen, the baggage troops and auxiliary troops took the lead in carrying siege equipment and marched towards Yunzhou City, setting up flying bridges one after another on the wide moat.

Immediately afterwards, countless auxiliary soldiers carrying ladders crossed the flying bridge and the suspension bridge whose cables had been cut off long ago, and put the ladders on the walls of Yunzhou City from all directions.

Then, the soldiers pushing the carts crossed the suspension bridge and destroyed the female wall and city wall of Yunzhou City.

Next, soldiers pushing siege vehicles and carrying battering rams also crossed the suspension bridge one after another and charged at the two heavy wooden doors of Yunzhou City.

Finally, it was the 20,000 elite infantrymen commanded by Chang Yuchun himself, all wearing armor, holding swords in one hand and shields in the other, who climbed up the ladders without hesitation and climbed to the top of the city wall.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Prepare for battle!"

"Prepare for battle!"

The walls of Yunzhou City were filled with desperate shouts from the generals defending the city.

The soldiers defending the city, who had already lost their morale, had empty eyes on their numb faces, like zombies, mechanically repeating the process of picking up the rolling stones, battering rams, and all the tools that could be used and smashing them down at the foot of the city.

There were also archers guarding the city hiding in the battlements, risking being shot into hedgehogs by the arrows of the attacking army, and occasionally sticking out half of their bodies to draw their bows and arrows, aiming at the attacking soldiers under the city to kill and injure them.

The attackers and defenders fought each other on the miles-long city wall, and every second, fresh lives were ruthlessly harvested, and people kept falling and being replaced.

The commander Wu Qingyun, sitting in a wheelchair, had long lost his arrogant and domineering look in the past. His extremely ugly face was bloodless, like a dying person.

At this moment, Wu Qingyun was like an indifferent bystander, half-squinting his eyes at the arrows flying across the sky, and turning a deaf ear to the shouts of killing that resounded through the sky. His mind recalled every bit of the past like a revolving lantern.

"Report--"

"General, it's bad. Yongtai Gate was lost (West Gate), and General Wu Huaiyu was killed in battle!"

"Report--"

"General, Wuding Gate was lost (East Gate), and General Chen Kejian was killed in battle!"

"Report--"

"General, Anding Gate was lost (South Gate), and General Luo Wenlong was seriously injured!"

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Qingyun, the general of the Yunhui Army, who was sitting in a wheelchair and watching the two armies fighting, suddenly heard the sound of the gates being lost one after another.

The scenes of the past that flashed through his mind happened to overlap with the tragic battle to defend Yunzhou City at this time.

Suddenly, Wu Qingyun, who was sitting in a wheelchair, shuddered and woke up instantly.

The ugly face that had lost all its blood instantly became red, and two rays of light suddenly burst out from his turbid copper bell eyes.

In an instant, the dying Wu Qingyun seemed to have suddenly rejuvenated and turned into the arrogant and feared Northwest General of the Great Xin Dynasty, the Tiger General Wu Qingyun.

The next moment, he miraculously stood up from the wheelchair, picked up the precious sword in his hand that had accompanied him in the battles for many years and walked forward.

Behind him, more than a hundred personal guards who were guarding Wu Qingyun looked at the general who had long been declared paralyzed by the military doctor in disbelief, and now he was holding a sword and killing the bandits who climbed the city wall like nothing happened.

After a short period of daze, these personal soldiers seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and they all followed the general's steps and rushed towards the bandits who climbed the city wall with swords.

Almost at the same time, Chang Yuchun, the first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty, who killed many people in Yunhui's army guarding the city, also killed all the way from the south gate to the north gate with a sword, and just met Wu Qingyun head-on.

"I am the general of the northwest army of the Great Xin Dynasty, the great general of Huwei appointed by the previous emperor!"

"You traitors have raised troops to rebel, and your heart is worthy of death. Why don't you die quickly!"

Wu Qingyun walked while shouting as if no one was around.

Everywhere he passed, countless soldiers of the Yunhui Army were shocked.

Seeing this, Chang Yuchun was also stunned, but he quickly reacted.

Hahaha!

Chang Yuchun blocked the way with his sword and laughed wildly at Wu Qingyun.

After laughing, he shouted: "Wu Qingyun, you still have a long time to come back to life this time, don't struggle, give me your life!"

As he said, Chang Yuchun swung his sword and chopped.

However, Wu Qingyun did not give him the opportunity to seize the flag and kill the general in front of the battle. Before Chang Yuchun's blade fell, he fell straight down from the tower.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Wu Qingyun, the once invincible general of the Northwest of the Great Xin Dynasty and the mighty general, ended his sinful life in a reasonable but unexpected way.

The commander fell to his death, and the last bit of faith of the Yunhui Army soldiers guarding the city also collapsed.

Soon, countless people knelt down and surrendered on the huge wall of Yunzhou City.

Chang Yuchun climbed up to the top of the city wall, raised his hand and swung his sword to cut off the Yunhui Army's banner inserted on the city wall.

Then, he took the battle flag of the Longcheng South Expedition Army from the hands of the accompanying soldiers and inserted it on the top of Yunzhou City with great dominance.

As the king's flag on the top of the city changed, the Yunzhou War, which lasted for half a month, finally ended with the comprehensive victory of the Longcheng South Expedition Army.

......

At the same time, Chen Huaian, the King of Jin, who was far away in the camp of the Longcheng Northern Expedition Army in Panlong Pass, Shuobei, once again heard the cold mechanical synthesized sound of the system in his mind.

[Ding! 】

【Dear host Chen Huaian, your new system points reward has been received, please check it! 】

The next moment, Chen Huaian's mouth curled up slightly, and he was overjoyed.

Timur, you and your Turkic barbarians, whose hands are stained with the blood of my border people, are going to die!
