Soon, the 50,000 troops that had been prepared long ago gathered together and began to cross the river by boat.
The Gaoyang Xuancheng army was already in disarray due to the need to put out the fire, and had no strength to defend itself.
Faced with Liaozhen's attack, they were almost unable to fight back and were defeated one after another.
It took less than two hours.
Xuancheng was captured by the Liaozhen army.
On the other side,
Less than thirty miles away from Xuancheng, in the Granary City where the Gaoyang army stored its food and fodder, flames shot up into the sky.
Even if Li Zai transferred all the garrison troops to put out the fire, the fire had already spread and could not be extinguished at all.
They could only watch helplessly as all the food and supplies were burned to ashes.
Especially afterward.
When he heard the news of the fall of Xuancheng, he fainted on the spot.
Finally, under the protection of several lieutenant generals, he fled in another direction with his army.
Xuancheng was lost, and so were the food and grass.
This battle.
The Gaoyang Kingdom suffered a crushing defeat and was unable to recover.
At this moment, there is a hill not far from the Granary City.
Song Hongzhi rides his horse.
He looked at everything that happened there with a calm expression.
Behind him, Lieutenant General Chen's eyes were full of light and he was extremely excited.
The food and supplies for an army of 200,000 were gone just like that.
Let's see how the situation develops.
It seems that the garrison of Liaozhen has occupied Xuancheng. What a great victory.
Before, he hardly dared to even think about it, but now, it was actually happening before his eyes.
Especially when looking at Song Hongzhi.
There was nothing but admiration in his eyes.
Nothing else.
Sure enough, everything happened just as the general expected.
Because Gaoyang State dispatched troops to provide support, the route of grain and grass was discovered. Thus, they followed the clues and found the Granary City.
In addition, the weather is dry now. Just a few people setting a few fires can cut off the retreat of Gaoyang's 200,000-strong army...
More importantly, they didn't lose many people from beginning to end...
It can be regarded as the greatest victory since the founding of the Wei Dynasty!
"Deputy General Chen."
At this time, Song Hongzhi spoke.
"General." Lieutenant General Chen rode over and continued, "General, please give your orders."
"Go, go to Xuancheng in person," Song Hongzhi said. "Tell Vice General Wang that after they capture Xuancheng, they should not stop and prepare to advance at full speed towards Gaoping City!"
"What? Going to Gaoping City?"
When Lieutenant General Chen heard this, he was shocked.
He originally thought that the other party would stop after burning the food supplies in Granary City.
But now it seems that this general of his does not intend to do so.
"Eight hundred men couldn't take Gaoping City, but what about fifty thousand?" Song Hongzhi smiled and said, "This burning has cut off the food supply for the two hundred thousand-man army. They no longer have the strength to fight, and Gaoyang is internally devastated."
"I'm afraid that even Gaoping City only has about 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers defending it. Therefore, this is the best time for us to go into battle."
"I understand."
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Chen's heart began to stir again, but he couldn't help but ask, "But what about Liaozhen? Moreover, if 50,000 troops penetrate deep into Gaoyang, even if there is no major battle, how will they find food and fodder?"
"Don't worry, after this battle, Li Zai is too busy to take care of himself and is no longer able to attack Liao Zhen."
Song Hongzhi said, "As for food and grass, don't worry about it for now. As long as we capture Gaoping City in a short period of time, why should we worry about not having food and grass?"
"I still say the same thing. When this general says to destroy a country, he will destroy it. This is not a joke, this is not an exaggeration!"
"yes!"
Lieutenant General Chen took a deep breath.
Knowing about this battle, I am afraid that Gaoyang Kingdom will really be destroyed!
The achievement of destroying a country!
After thinking about it for a moment, he became extremely excited. Without hesitation, he rode his horse towards Xuancheng to deliver the order!
As for Song Hongzhi, he glanced at the Granary City still engulfed in flames, a smile spreading across his face as he muttered to himself, "Brother-in-law Emperor, just wait for my good news. When I return victorious, I will offer you the entire Gaoyang Kingdom!"
Then he calmed himself down a bit and left with his men.
After joining forces with the 50,000-strong army that captured Xuancheng.
Just give the order directly.
Heading towards Gaoping City at full speed.
Deputy General Wang's men were all shocked when they heard that Song Hongzhi wanted to destroy Gaoyang Kingdom.
But they soon realized that this was not impossible given the current internal emptiness of Gaoyang.
As long as it is accomplished, it will be the achievement of destroying a country!
At present, all the deputy generals have no objections and follow Song Hongzhi one after another, moving forward at full speed to destroy the Gaoyang Kingdom!
An army of 50,000 is neither too many nor too few.
Even in a major battle, it can turn the entire situation around.
Now, Song Hongzhi led these 50,000 people and rushed towards Gaoping City almost non-stop.
They encountered some resistance during this period, but as mentioned before, Gaoyang is now almost empty, and facing the aggressive 50,000-strong army, they have no ability to resist at all.
As for the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Li Zai, most of them began to desert because their food and grass were burned that night.
At this time, especially when there is nothing to eat, who will work hard for you?
That's it.
The soldiers under Song Hongzhi attacked cities and captured strongholds along the way, and they were unstoppable wherever they went.
He also ordered the army to take necessary rest every time they passed a city.
Don't bring anything with you, just to capture Gaoping City in the shortest time possible.
And on the eighth day, the Wei army galloped forward at full speed and finally arrived at Gaoping City.
And this.
It was the last city that Song Hongzhi destroyed!
This is also the final battle of his trip!
