Chapter 196 Detour through Zhejiang, Surprise Attack on Jiangnan



Li Qin nodded in satisfaction at Dugu Yu's siege tactics.

There is indeed no better way to combine these methods right now.

After entrusting the siege to Dugu Yu, Li Qin returned to his own camp.

Looking at the messages coming from all sides.

Siege warfare is an extremely energy-consuming task, and he doesn't have the energy to give detailed instructions right now.

There was no time to calculate where to place the cannons or which section of the city wall would be the most suitable to bombard.

Therefore, he entrusted the task of attacking the city to Dugu Yu, letting him take charge of the attack.

Send Qi Duchen to conquer Yangzhou and other places.

He, on the other hand, held a large army in his hands, inspected the military situation in various places, saw where problems arose, and then sent reinforcements to that place.

Li Qin breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Jiangxi's Jinhu Prefecture had surrendered and that the Jiangnan court's navy on Poyang Lake had been severely damaged.

The Southern Group Corps is also making relatively smooth progress.

As expected, that guy from Jinhu Mansion surrendered.

Li Qin then directly ordered Qi Duchen, who was heading south, to attack Yangzhou as soon as possible, and to take it if he could.

Even if we can't take it down for now, we still need to make a big splash in Jiangbei.
