Texas City.

Amid the shocking fighting, a burst of cheers suddenly rang out.

"Report! The camp in Dezhou City East has been captured!"

Zhao Kaicheng, the right governor of the Fifth Army Camp, just nodded when he heard this, and was not happy.

The Five Military Camp attacked Dezhou and finally crossed the trenches outside the city. As a result, it took another few days to attack the camp in the east of the city, but it also lost its troops and generals.

"Order to enter the camp first and attack the city tomorrow."

"But the general's order is to continue siege."

"Remain attack?"

Zhao Kaicheng frowned and rode his horse to meet Cao Jun, the general of the fifth army camp.

Cao Jun is Zheng Yuanhua's confidant. He was the backbone of the Zheng Party when Zheng Yuanhua rectified the fifth military camp in the capital, and now he holds heavy power in Nanjing.

"The general Rong, the soldiers crossed the trenches and attacked the east camp in the city. They were tired and could not be easily captured. Why do they work so hard to attack the city?"

Cao Jun nodded after hearing this, pointed to Dezhou City, and said, "What you said is that Dezhou City's fortifications are perfect, which is even harder to fight than Jinan. But there is no way..."

He handed a letter to Zhao Kaicheng.

"When news comes, Wang Xiao's rebels sneaked into the four towns in Jiangbei, cut off the food and grass of the army. If they don't capture Dezhou, the situation of victory or defeat will be easily changed."

Zhao Kaicheng was stunned. He had a deal with Wang Xiao in the capital. He didn't think the other party had such ability at that time. Unexpectedly, time had changed, and now it has reached this point.

"But if the strength of our five military camps is too much..."

"It's not the time to worry about these things." Cao Jun said: "The reason why the Five Military Camps came to attack Dezhou was because the four towns in Jiangbei had their own thoughts and could not command the second son. These people were respectful, and the Chief Aunt knew it. Before this Northern Expedition, he told the general that he would like to integrate the troops and horses, so he followed Wang Xiao's arrangement in Dezhou and set up the world's military marshals, instead of using civil servants to supervise the troops."

Zhao Kaicheng slapped his thigh and said, "That's to say, how many of these civil servants and supervisors can fight? Just say that Yang Jia is a fool..."

Cao Jun glanced at him lightly and said, "After making military achievements, I will recommend you to be the general of the fifth army camp in front of the chief minister, and reward the earls like the generals of the four towns in Jiangbei."

"Then Zheng Rong, you?" Zhao Kaicheng suddenly understood halfway through his words, and secretly scolded himself for not knowing how to listen to the key points.

Cao Jun said again: "The worms in the four towns in Jiangbei do not attack Jinan so quickly. They will take over Dezhou as soon as possible and then win the first contribution of this Northern Expedition. Do you understand?"

"I will understand!"

Zhao Kaicheng clasped his fists and rushed to the battlefield.

"Strike the city with all your might!"

The five military camps rushed towards Dezhou City like a tide.

Halfway through the road? The soldiers in front suddenly fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

"Ah! It's a caltrop! There's a caltrop..."

This battle was unprecedentedly tragic for the Five Military Camps? The casualties in just two days were much higher than those in the four towns in Jiangbei.

The fortifications in Dezhou City are obviously not comparable to those in Jinan? All kinds of tricks are constantly eliminating the pressure of the siege soldiers.

Zhao Kaicheng was very angry about this. More than a year ago, the Five Military Camps were also in the capital. He also knew Gao Chengyi of Shenshu Camp? He knew that this person was mediocre and accepted bribes everywhere.

Zhao Kaijian looked down on Gao Chengyi very much? But now? A mediocre talent like Gao Chengyi can even be the general of the army? He even suffered so much loss... He was almost angry to death by him!

"These fortifications in Dezhou City were left by Wang Xiao and Qin Shanhai. I was not the one who suffered a loss in the hands of such a fool Gao Chengyi." He could only comfort himself in this way.

Fortunately, after Dezhou's troops were transferred to Jinan, there were only 20,000 troops left. Zhao Kaicheng mainly attacked Dongcheng and ordered the entire army to attack fiercely. He consumed many lives of soldiers. Finally, on the third day, he captured Gao Chengyi's flaw and broke through the Dongcheng Gate.

However, after the soldiers entered the city, they received several inner gates inside, which were the former site of Twelve Liancheng.

Zhao Kaicheng was very cautious in treating the fortifications of Dezhou and ordered the troops to enter slowly. Be careful and do not rush to attack the inner city? In order to avoid being ambushed.

As soon as the army entered the city, suddenly the sound of fighting in the north was heard.

"Report! The enemy general Gao Chengyi escaped from the city..."

Zhao Kaicheng quickly climbed to the battlefield. Looking at him, he saw a gust of smoke and dust rolling in the north of the city. A tall flag led three thousand people and kept heading north.

——This dog thing...

Zhao Kaicheng thought about it again and again that although Gao Chengyi was a mediocre person, he was one of the generals of the three armies under Zhou Yan, with a high position and a powerful position. He was determined to kill him and make contributions, so he led his cavalry to chase him.

"Follow me to chase me!"

He rode his horse all the way, and Zhao Kaicheng quickly led the five thousand cavalry under his command, and walked around to the front of Gao Chengyi's three thousand soldiers, and penetrated the east side obliquely.

"Gao Chengyi, die!"

The soldiers and horses of both sides fought at the same place. Zhao Kaicheng looked at him and saw that Gao Chengyi was trapped in the formation.

Zhao Kaicheng sneered, took the bow and shot it away with an arrow!

A "swoosh" arrow hit Gao Chengyi's side shoulder.

Zhao Kaicheng was overjoyed and took a knife to kill Gao Chengyi. After ten rounds of battle, he saw the opportunity to prepare and slashed it with one knife. Gao Chengyi's head fell underground...

"Gao Chengyi is dead!"

The Five Military Camp cheered.

"Hahaha……"

The remaining Dezhou defenders saw that the commander was dead, and fled north in panic.

Zhao Kaicheng was proud of himself, and he carried Gao Chengyi's leader to lead the troops to cover up the killing...

~~

In the north of Dezhou City, in a forest outside Dafeng Village.

Two probing horses rushed into the woods.

"Report! The Southern Chu army won a great victory, killed Gao Chengyi, the commander of the Northern Chu army, and Dezhou City was about to be broken..."

"Melon peel!"

A general in armor stood up, pointed at one person and cursed: "You can't beat this group of big melon skins, so just go to die!"

The young man who was scolded was Qin Xuanming. He was not angry and said, "I can't beat you, so I ask you for help."

"Why should I help you?"

Qin Xuanming didn't respond to him, leaned on the trunk and cried, "General Gao, you died so miserably..."

"Melon Pie!" The general cursed again, kicked Qin Xuanming, and said, "Get out! You won't send troops."

A personal soldier stepped forward and whispered: "General Tong, Military Advisor Meng said before leaving. If he is going to be defeated, he will help him..."

"You're criticizing me, do you want to tell me?!"

"But... they are here and rushed towards this side with Gao Chengyi's head."

The general named Tong walked a few steps cursingly, and then said to Qin Xuanming: "I promised that food and grass, winter clothes, but he must not miss it."

"You are indispensable." Qin Xuanming was crying vigorously, and he grinned and smiled when he heard this.

"Meowpi...Brothers, get on the horse and fuck him!"

~~

Daying outside Dezhou City.

Cao Jun frowned and found that the offensive in the inner city in the east was not as smooth as he expected.

"Where is Zhao Kai adult?!"

"Report to General Rong, the right governor led his troops to chase Gao Chengyi."

Cao Jun nodded.

He knew that there were no more troops in Texas, so he didn't have to worry about Zhao Kaicheng being ambushed. He took Gao Chengyi's head and attacked the morale of the defenders in the city.

Then, the city gate in the south suddenly opened wide, and more than 10,000 Dezhou defenders shouted to come out of the city.

"They want to break through?"

Cao Jun made a judgment quickly.

At this time, the East City of Dezhou had been broken, and the head coach Gao Chengyi had also escaped. The Dezhou defenders obviously planned to break through and escape.

What Cao Jun wanted was Dezhou City and Caocang, and was not willing to fight with each other. He ordered: "Let go to the west, let them go, and then cover up the killing."

This is a plan to encircle three quotas and one. After issuing a military order, he saw that the east attack reached the most critical moment but he was not able to see Zhao Kaicheng come back for a long time, so he had to transfer another battalion of troops to support him.

When Cao Jun turned around, his face changed.

"Stop them!"

I saw that the more than 10,000 Dezhou soldiers and horses in the south were not trying to escape from the city, but they were coming to the central army of the Five Army camps.

Cao Jun was furious. It was not that he could not defeat the other party, but that he did not expect the other party to make such a decision.

The troops of the Five Army camps attacked Dezhou, except for 10,000 people on the west side, there were 20,000 troops on the other three sides. If the Dezhou defenders did not want to escape, it would be better to defend the city. In this way, they rushed up regardless of the situation and fought against 20,000 people. After a while, they would attack the city from the east to the west side of the north, and they would have to die.

If Cao Jun was a big fool, he would probably feel that he would win at this moment. But he didn't think the other party would come to seek death, and immediately realized that there would be a backup plan.
