The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Chapter 314: Occupation of Guiyang

Ten days later, after some preparation.

The two armies have assembled.

Three days later, Li Jing led an army of 150,000 and left Hanzhong first.

Ning Quan then led an army of 150,000 and left Jiannan, heading towards Zunyi.

Zunyi is the territory of Da Qi.

Because of its remote location, Da Qi did not attach much importance to this place, and there were not many garrisons stationed in Zunyi City, only a few hundred officers and soldiers guarding the city.

Ning Quan led his army and arrived here in just ten days.

Then they easily captured the city of Zunyi.

Immediately afterwards, the army continued to advance towards Guiyang.

At the same time, Li Jing also led his army to quickly capture Dazhou and is currently advancing towards Xiangyang City.

It was not until this time that Daqian and Daqi reacted.

After Ning Yuanwu got the news, he realized that Ning Quan was serious and did not give him any chance to choose.

"boom."

When Ning Yuanwu smashed the last teacup on the table.

All the civil and military officials in the court were silent.

"Ning Quan, you rebellious son, how dare you rebel."

"Ning Gao, mobilize the troops immediately and kill this rebellious son for me."

Ning Yuanwu shouted angrily.

"Yes, I obey my orders."

Ning Gao immediately accepted the order.

......

At the same time, in the capital of Da Qi, the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty, Ning Quan's army has occupied Zunyi City and is advancing towards Guiyang. It is less than five days' journey from Guiyang."

A minister reported.

"Damn it! Is he crazy? Why would he attack our Great Qi?"

"Also, why didn't we receive any news about such a big thing in advance?"

Emperor Zhao Heng of Da Qi shouted angrily.

He didn't even get any news about such a large-scale military mobilization. What were the border scouts doing?

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to worry about these things. Please dispatch the army to meet the enemy as soon as possible."

"Yes, Ning Quan is so audacious that he dared to invade our Great Qi. Your Majesty must send a large army to destroy him."

"Your Majesty, please make a quick decision. Otherwise, once Ning Quan has completely captured Guiyang, it will probably be too late."

.......

All the ministers spoke up.

"My dear ministers, what you say makes sense."

"Come here, tell General Liuhe to gather 300,000 troops to immediately support Guiyang. We must destroy Ningquan at all costs."

Zhao Heng said coldly.

"promise!"

The chief eunuch received the order and quickly went down to convey the decree.

......

at the same time.

Outside Guiyang City, after five days of forced march, Ning Quan led his army to the city.

Guiyang is an important town in the southwest of Da Qi. The city wall is about ten meters high, four meters wide, and four or five meters thick, and is very strong.

There were also quite a few troops stationed in the city, as many as eight thousand.

At this time, the defenders in the city were ready for battle, with arrows raining down from the city walls and swords and spears everywhere.

"General Wang, General Liu He ordered us to hold out for half a month and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

On the city wall, a deputy general reported.

"Don't worry, with me, Wang Yong, here, I will make sure the enemy can't move an inch."

The defending commander, Wang Yong, said this with great pride.

Although the enemy troops were numerous, he had the support of solid city walls and an army of 8,000 elite soldiers, so it was not a problem for him to hold out for half a month.

"General Wang is right. A mere 150,000 troops cannot do anything to us."

The other generals echoed.

"Okay, no more nonsense, get ready for the fight!"

Wang Yong waved his hand and said.

"promise!"

Upon hearing the order, all the soldiers got busy.

Outside the city, Ning Quan rode quietly on his horse, looking at the majestic Guiyang City in front of him.

"Your Highness, Guiyang's defenses are very strong. It may take quite some time to capture it."

Yue Fei on the side spoke.

"Don't worry, what is the purpose of my personal expedition? Isn't it for a quick victory?"

"Prepare for the attack. I will have the artillery open a gap for you."

Hearing this, Ning Quan said coldly.

"I will obey your orders!"

Yue Fei said respectfully.

Then he went downstairs to prepare.

A moment later, seeing that everything was ready, Ning Quan gave the order to fire.

"Boom~"

More than ten shells streaked across the sky and slammed heavily into the Guiyang city gate.

In an instant, the entire city gate was blown apart.

Many soldiers were hit by the rubble and screamed.

"Fight into the city!"

"Kill!"

Seeing the city gate was broken, Yue Fei roared and personally led an army of 150,000 to charge into the city like a tide.

"How could this be?"

The sudden change left Wang Yong on the city wall with no time to react.

Looking at the army pouring in like a torrent, his head was buzzing and his eyes were full of horror.

How could it have imagined that the city gate would be breached in an instant?

"General Wang, quickly order the city gates to be blocked!"

"Otherwise it will be too late!"

While Wang Yong was stunned, the deputy general beside him reminded him loudly.

"Yes, yes, block the city gate!"

After hearing the reminder, Wang Yong woke up instantly and shouted loudly.

But it was too late. Tens of thousands of enemy troops had already poured into the city and were unstoppable.

"kill!"

Under Yue Fei's leadership, the soldiers were like a tiger among a flock of sheep, unstoppable.

In just half an incense stick of time, Guiyang City fell.

Wang Yong and other defending generals were beheaded, and the remaining soldiers surrendered one after another.

Ning Quan was overjoyed when he saw that Guiyang City had been captured.

Immediately, Ning Quan ordered the army to rest and at the same time sent out a large number of scouts to investigate the situation of the reinforcements from Da Qi.

"Report~ Your Highness, the 300,000-man army led by Marshal Liu He of the Great Qi has arrived in Congjiang, and is still ten days away from us."

Five days later, the scouts brought back the latest news.

"An army of three hundred thousand?"

"Okay, very good. Now that we're here, don't go back."

Ning Quan sneered.

..........

The news of Guiyang's defeat soon reached Liuhe's ears.

"General, now that Guiyang has fallen, should we continue our advance?"

Beside Liu He, a deputy general said with a worried look on his face.

"Of course, what else would you think?"

"Your Majesty's order to me is to destroy the enemy. Does that mean we have to stand still just because we lost Guiyang?"

Liu He spoke.

"Yes, I understand!"

Hearing Liu He's scolding, the deputy general quickly lowered his head.

"Send the order, speed up the march, and reach Guiyang as soon as possible. I will fight a decisive battle with the enemy in Guiyang."

Liu He ordered coldly.

Immediately, the army set out again and headed towards Guiyang.

.........

At the same time, Li Jing led his army to the city of Xiangyang.

Xiangyang City is the largest and most important city south of the Yangtze River in Daqian.

The city is tall and majestic, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The city's defense force was also relatively sufficient, with nearly 30,000 defenders.
