"The army of the King of Shu is really vulnerable!" Zhou Bofu followed Li You for many years and had seen many opponents, from the Tartars in the north of the Mobei to the barbarians in Hedong, from the subordinates of the King of Qi to the refugees in Yunzhou, but he had never seen such an incompetent army as the King of Shu. I would not mention the barbarians in the northern border and the barbarians in Hedong. Even if they were the subordinates of the King of Qi and the refugees in Yunzhou, at least they still had the courage to fight with Zhou Bofu. However, the army of the King of Shu, Zhou Bofu's army was more than ten miles away from the city, and only sent a few cavalry to inquire about the news. When the cavalry appeared outside the city wall, the defenders in the city fled in scattered, and this dangerous city was easily captured by Zhou Bofu.

"It's a good thing. It's all my people in the Central Atomic world. Why fight to the death?" Sun Chuyang said with a smile. According to his estimate, it would take at least three days to capture this city, hundreds of casualties and countless gunpowders. I don't expect that the city will be taken down without even firing a shell. If the future war is as good as today, then the materials prepared this time will probably not be used up to 20% of them.

"These people are too spineless." Zhou Bofu has been preparing for many years to pacify Shuzhong, but he did not expect that the enemy will retreat without fighting. This made him feel like he was blowing his fist and hitting the cotton. This feeling of being powerful and having no place to use really makes him a little depressed. After all, the fight is really exciting.

"General Zhou, don't delay Your Majesty's major affairs." Sun Chuyang knew Zhou Bofu's belligerent personality and quickly advised, "This may be the supreme plan of the Shu army. In order to dispel our vigilance, we will launch a surprise attack while we relax, so we will never be careless."

"I know, it's not the first time I've led an army to fight. How could I not know about this?" Zhou Bofu just complained a few times. He didn't dare to delay the war because of his temper.

After encountering three cities that surrendered without fighting, Zhou Bofu finally encountered some decent resistance. Luo Zhaoyuan, who had led his army to spy on the capital in the east of Shannan, was urgently transferred to the front line to block Zhou Bofu's army. Luo Zhaoyuan was somewhat capable. He first killed several generals who were afraid of the enemy and were afraid of the enemy and warned him, and then mobilized the big families in the city to raise a sum of money and food to motivate the army. In addition, his prestige in the army finally calmed down the morale of the army.

But even he could not let these troops go out of the city to fight, so he could only defend the city and try to use high walls, thick walls, strong bows and crossbows to stop Zhou Bofu's progress; but Luo Zhaoyuan's efforts did not cause much trouble to Zhou Bofu. He had already fought countless such siege battles in Shandong East Road.

With the order of Zhou Bofu, his army immediately made various preparations according to the arrangements during the training. The artillery quickly found a suitable artillery position to fire shells at the city. The musketeers fired at the city under the city and the Shu army at the city. The engineers began to prepare for breaking the city according to the characteristics of the city.

Shuzhong has been without war for many years. Have these soldiers seen such a fierce offensive? Moreover, they have no experience in fighting with cannons and firearms. They suffered huge casualties as soon as they fought. The incentives of money and Luo Zhaoyuan's prestige have gradually become useless, and people have gradually begun to try to escape.

Luo Zhaoyuan also tried to restrain the deserters with his confidants, and drove them back to the city wall to continue to resist Zhou Bofu's attack. However, he did not expect that the wealthy families in the city had already secretly colluded. He opened the city gate while Luo Zhao was going to intercept the deserters and welcomed Zhou Bofu into the city.

These people had long realized that Luo Zhaoyuan alone could not stop Zhou Bofu, and the more intense the war was going on, the more their property would be lost. Don’t you see that in just a moment, many people’s houses were hit by shells. If this continues, even if the city can be defended in the end, there would probably not be many intact houses left in the city. Moreover, their fertile land is outside the city, so they had to make this decision for their own benefit.

Zhou Bofu immediately rushed into the city with his men and quickly annihilated the few remaining Shu troops who dared to resist. Even Luo Zhaoyuan did not escape and became Zhou Bofu's captive.

Zhou Bofu naturally had no good feelings for those gentry who had surrendered in the city, but Sun Chuyang knew that in order to reduce losses in the future, he had to entertain them, so he came forward to appease them in a milliliter and sent troops to help them guard the door so that anyone could rob their property indiscriminately.

Not only that, the soldiers who entered the city also quickly attacked, killed the green-skinned gangsters who dared to take advantage of the situation, maintained the situation in the city, and helped the people who were damaged in the war to repair their houses. The doctors of the army also came forward to help the injured Shu army and the people to treat them. With various means, the people and the defeated soldiers in the city gradually let go of their worries and began to obey the arrangements of the Jiazhou army peacefully and assist them in restoring the order after the war.

Seeing this scene, Luo Zhaoyuan had nothing to say. For the future of their family, he put down his heart and was willing to help write to his tribe members, persuaded them to give up resistance and surrender to the Jiazhou army.

At the same time, the members of the Black Ice Platform lurking in Shu also became active, contacting the powerful factions in Shu, persuading or forcing them to surrender to the Jiazhou army. Because the two strong troops of Zhou Bofu and Xu Guang supported them, the action also progressed very smoothly. Few people in the prefectures and counties along the way would choose to resist resolutely. As soon as the army arrived, they would usually make wise choices and open the city gate to surrender to Zhou Bofu or Xu Guang.

It didn't take much time. Zhou Bofu and Xu Guang arrived at the city of Yizhou almost at the same time and surrounded the city. Now, people such as Shu King and Su Zican who were unwilling to give up their glory and wealth were in the city, and there were tens of thousands of troops following them.

At this point, the Jiazhou army finally encountered a slightly difficult battle, but this did not cause much trouble for them. After surrounding the city for many consecutive days, the walls of Yizhou City were finally blown up by gunpowder placed by the army engineers, and the army rushed in.
