Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 224: Attack Huanglong directly, and the whole world will be terrified!
It is already dusk!

A huge fire broke out in Taicang, and the three states were all covered by its light.

It was like the gorgeous red clouds, attracting everyone's eyes!
……

The original Chongcheng.

Zhou Tiancheng led an army of 200,000 out of the city.

"What? How dare Zhou Tiancheng!"

"Why is it that no one reported such an important event? Do you still take my position as the inspector seriously?"

When Tuoba Shuchao heard the news, he became furious.

The sword was already on Zhou Yong's neck.

Recalling this day, Zhou Tiancheng specially invited him to drink together, and the atmosphere was warm and lively during the meal.

When the wine was half drunk, Zhou Tiancheng suddenly asked to leave, saying that he was old and couldn't drink enough, and no one thought much about it.

During the banquet, Zhou Tiancheng said passionately: "Protecting Yuan Chong is our bounden duty."

The words are still ringing in my ears

A blink of an eye!

Zhou Tiancheng actually took He Sheng and others across the city gate and attacked Taicang.

Tuoba Shuchao was furious.

I wish I could chop Zhou Yong in front of me to pieces.

Zhou Yong was not panicked. He pushed Tuoba Shuchao's sword with his hand and said calmly:
"Prince Qi, please be patient."

"Marshal Zhou and his men will be out of the city for two hours."

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the city wall.

Tuoba Shuchao's original strong drunkenness had already mostly dissipated.

Two hundred thousand troops marched out of the city. It was such a big event that the wind blew on my back and I felt cold all over.

He hurriedly climbed the stairs and saw a crowd of people on the city wall. They all looked nervous and looked into the distance.

See!

Looking from afar, in the direction of Xuzhou, flames shot up into the sky. As if the wind was fanning the flames, they became more and more intense, illuminating half the sky red.

"Taicang!" Tuoba Shu cried out in horror.

Zhou Yong followed closely behind, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he chuckled:
"It seems that Zhou Shuai and his men have succeeded!"

There was a gleam of disbelief in Tuoba Shuchao's eyes.

The fire in Taicang burned not only food supplies but also the lifeblood of the Yanbei Army!
Could it be that Zhou Tiancheng really succeeded in attacking Taicang?

The fire burned the food and fodder of the Yanbei Army in the city.

How could such a spectacular fire be fake?
On top of the city tower.

Zhou Yong bowed and said respectfully, "This matter is of great importance. Please, Prince Qi, make the decision. What should we do next?"

Tuoba Shuchao was already in a state of confusion.

Moreover, judging from the information he has just learned, he is simply unable to command this army.

The army was run like an iron wall by Zhou Tiancheng and others.

Zhou Yong's words were just to give him a way out.

"Taicang has been lost, Lu Chen must rescue it."

Zhou Yong's voice sounded again, "Our army has sent out all its elite troops. This is the perfect opportunity to destroy the Yanbei Army."

Tuoba Shuchao didn't know what decision to make.

at this time!

A group of cavalrymen galloped over from the city, shouting loudly:
"Urgent report from the army!"

"Marshal Zhou defeated the enemy in Taicang and burned the city to ashes!"

"We have conquered many cities one after another, with unstoppable force!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the city wall suddenly became lively and cheers shook the sky.

Tuoba Shuchao only felt the roar in his ears, and in the silence, only the deafening joy remained.

Looking at Taicang from afar, flames shot up into the sky, getting more and more intense!

The city gate slowly opened with the rustling sound of iron chains.

Teams of troops poured out of the city like a tide.

The horses rushed out of the city wall without stopping, and June's frustration could no longer wait.

Wait until Tuoba Shuchao comes to his senses!
Zhou Yong and his companions had long disappeared, leaving only a few of his personal followers standing behind him.

The situation has gotten out of control and is out of his grasp.

There were only 50,000 soldiers and horses left in Yuanchong City, and the rest had already left the city.

"Could Lu Chen be defeated like this?"

Tuoba Shuchao recalled the invincible figure from more than 20 years ago in his mind, and he felt terrified every time he recalled it.

He turned around and looked around, only to see regretful looks on the faces of many soldiers.

They were unable to go on the expedition with the army and achieve success, and were left with no choice but to stay behind.

There are only tens of thousands of soldiers capable of fighting in the city now!

The city is empty!

A large granary actually attracted all the people in the city to come out.

"The big thing is bad!"

Tuoba Shuchao's expression suddenly changed.

……

……

Zhou Tiancheng led an army of 200,000 and attacked Taicang directly.

There was no obstacle along the way and the army was unstoppable.

It was not until the first battle in Taicang that we encountered stubborn resistance.

However, thanks to the accuracy of the intelligence.

He saw that the enemy garrison, although numerous, was disorganized and clearly lacked command and coordination.

It was just as expected.

but!

Zhou Tiancheng did not actually start attacking the city, because once he started, there was no turning back.

An army of more than 200,000 people failed to capture the city and had to retreat. Lu Chen's reinforcements would have arrived and the consequences would be disastrous.

The explosion of the camp is a minor matter. If there is a stampede, it will be a real rout and a huge defeat.

Zhou Tiancheng waited quietly.

A new piece of information came.

In the northern foothills camp, Lu Chen has appeared to preach the art of war. Many generals in the army have gathered together and listened attentively.

And today, Lu Chen preached:
"June will attack Huanglong Mansion!"

Huanglongfu is the location of Beifeng’s capital.

Upon hearing the news, He Sheng laughed loudly on his horse, full of sarcasm.

Lu Chen's army has been trapped in Yuanchong City for more than six months and has been unable to advance an inch.

Now that the granary is in urgent need and the enemy is at the gate, he still dares to speak such nonsense.

Dare to claim that we will attack Huanglongfu in June!
It’s ridiculous!

Upon hearing the news, Zhou Tiancheng loosened his grip on the horse reins, and his palms were full of sweat.

Lu Chen’s camp at the northern slope.

Without further hesitation, he made a prompt decision and ordered his army to attack.

After two hours of fierce fighting, an army of 200,000 men surged towards Taicang City like a tide.

at last!

Under the fierce attack, the city gate was broken and the army rushed into the city.

He Sheng was overjoyed and cheered loudly.

Zhou Tiancheng was also extremely anxious and rushed into the city on his horse.

The city was already in chaos, with soldiers fleeing everywhere.

Zhou Tiancheng took He Sheng and others and headed straight for the grain storage area in Taicang.

There, large rectangular bulk warehouses are scattered around and dotted with round storage warehouses.

Each one is several feet tall.

Judging from its scale, each warehouse can store 50,000 to 60,000 kilograms of grain.

"Zhou Shuai, look!"

He Sheng kicked open the door of the granary, and saw the full white rice pouring out like a waterfall and scattering all over the ground. Zhou Tiancheng was very excited, he picked up a handful of fine rice, and was filled with emotion.

Back then, he had been defending the city and had long run out of rice to eat. He was forced to eat tree bark, boiled armor, and even "white meat".

The Yanbei Army was extremely wealthy and had full granaries.

I felt both angry and excited.

He was angry that the Yanbei army did not suffer the same miserable fate as him.

What made people excited was that there were indeed food and supplies for 400,000 troops hidden in the city.

Looking at the granaries everywhere, Zhou Tiancheng felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart.

He knew that the battle was won.

He accomplished what Tuoba Shuyi couldn't do back then.

Defeat Lu Chen fairly.

The soldiers all looked delighted as they pried open the granary, revealing the mountains of rice inside.

"General Zhou, this is all newly harvested rice this year, and it is of high quality."

He Sheng was even happier when he heard this and laughed out loud.

"Lu Chen is just a mediocre person from the North. In the absence of heroes, it is up to this young man to become famous."

"Calling yourself the best at military operations in the past 400 years is absolutely ridiculous!"

"You even said that it took three hundred years for Shenzhou to sink and finally find this man. How ridiculous!"

After hearing this, Zhou Tiancheng just smiled and fed the rice in his hand directly into his mouth.

Chew carefully.

"puff!"

He chewed carefully, but suddenly, his face changed drastically. He spat out all the food in his mouth, his eyes wide open in horror.

"Oh no! This food is soaked in kerosene!"

The soldiers beside him reported in panic:
"General Zhou, there's nothing but nitrate under the granary!"

After hearing this, Zhou Tiancheng's face turned pale instantly and he could no longer remain calm.

"Something is wrong, retreat quickly!"

He gave the order urgently.

But, I don’t know when.

A raging fire had broken out in the city.

The firelight illuminated his old, horrified face.

……

[On the sixth day of August, you delivered a lecture on "Military Training Notes" at the North Foot Camp. The audience was composed of many young generals in the army, and they were full of vigor and vitality.]

[When you speak of rising, you use black charcoal as a pen and write on the upright teaching board:]

[“June, attack Huanglong Mansion directly!”]

[The handwriting is like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, revealing the spirit of war. 】

[Some of the generals in the army quietly left the table, while those who stayed behind all looked respectful and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.]

[You continue to draw the map of the northern states and counties on the wooden board. Every major city and town gradually becomes clearer under your pen, just like reading the lines on the palm of your hand.]

[Everyone was amazed, and realized that your majesty knew every inch of land and every city in the north like the back of his hand.]

[After drawing the map, you wrote down a series of dates and cities below: "On November 17, we attacked Hezhou. In December, we got off the train late. On January 8, we went to Jingzhou and Wuyang..." The handwriting was vigorous and powerful.]

【Everyone present looked at each other, all confused and puzzled by the plan on the wooden board.】

[All the cities listed above are important strongholds in the north. However, to reach these places, one must pass through the impregnable fortress of Yuan Chongcheng.]

[There are 500,000 soldiers stationed in Yuanchong City. Everyone knows how strong its defense is.]

[How to conquer this city has become the biggest question in everyone's mind. ]

Although they were full of doubts, they did not dare to ask rashly.

[Halfway through the lecture! ]

[Suddenly, there was a burst of fire outside, lighting up the sky red.]

[Everyone was horrified to find that a raging fire had broken out in the "Taicang" grain and grass storage area.]

[The importance of Taicang is self-evident. Once it is lost, the consequences will be disastrous.]

[Everyone looks anxious, but you remain calm.]

[You slowly write down the last two dates on the wooden board: "On April 14th of next year, we will attack Huanglong Mansion."]

[“On the sixth day of October, we conquered Yuan Chong Castle.”]

[Everyone was stunned. October 6th is today! ]

[Everyone saw you so calm, and although they were still nervous, they felt a little relieved. ]

[After you finish writing, you turn around and say with a smile: "That's enough for today, everyone can go home."]

[The thoughtful person silently noted the date you wrote down. ]

[You wiped your hands and walked out of the tent.]

【I saw a huge fire in Taicang burning fiercely, and the flames illuminated the entire state. 】

[Feng Haiping has stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, our army has discovered Zhou Tiancheng entering the city."]

[You nodded, indicating that you understood.]

[“Another spy went to Yuanchong City to report that Zhou Yong had led his army out of the city.”]

[Feng Haiping was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. Everything that happened today was exactly as the King of Yan had expected. Nothing went wrong.]

[Every step was as if it had been carefully rehearsed, and it was as if the enemy army had become part of the Yanbei Army and obeyed the command of the King of Yan.]

[Feng Haiping stared at the line of words that King Yan had just written, and secretly wondered in his heart: Can June really attack Huanglong Mansion? ]

[Today is a little different from usual. Lu Yu is not around, so he got itchy hands and joined in the battle.]

【Now, the sky is full of stars and the night is deep. 】

[You stand outside the tent with your hands behind your back, gazing at the distant starry sky and listening to the intelligence sent to you.]

[You nodded calmly. It’s been six months and it’s time for everything to end.]

[On the sixth day of October, when Bei Feng's 200,000-man army attacked the city, Taicang was engulfed in flames.]

[Jia Fu led 60,000 Yanbei troops to block the enemy outside Taicang City, killing 90,000 enemies, capturing 40,000, and countless fleeing.]

[At the same time, Xie Ling led 100,000 Yanbei troops to ambush the Beifeng troops who were leaving the city at Heling, killing 40,000 enemies in one battle.]

[Jia Fu led the fleeing Yanbei army to join forces with the Yuan Chongcheng army that came to support them, causing chaos, trampling and cannibalism, and countless casualties.]

[Under the cover of night, Yu Xu disguised himself as a defeated northern soldier and successfully tricked the city gates open.]

[Overnight, before the Beifeng Army could react, Yuanchong City was breached.]

[The 100,000-strong army led by Zhou Tiancheng mutinied, the camp was blown up, and many of them fled. In the end, only 4,000 remnants were left. The escort Zhou Tiancheng fled back to Yuanchong City in a panic.]

[“General Zhou is back, but he still won’t open the city gates.”]

[He Sheng called out to the city gate many times, but no one answered and the city gate was tightly closed.]

[Zhou Tiancheng had an ominous premonition in his heart. It was unusually quiet outside the city today.]

[Soon after, a man walked out from the tower. He had a white face and no beard, was wearing a python robe, and looked very heroic.]

[Zhou Tiancheng recognized this person at a glance. He was Yu Xu, one of the twenty-six generals of the Lu family army.]

[Yu Xu said with a leisurely smile: "Marshal Zhou, please go back."]

[“Your Majesty has something to tell you. We have to thank Marshal Zhou for his generosity this time. He used 100,000 shi of military rations from Yuanchong City to buy us a granary.”]

[After hearing this, Zhou Tiancheng was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on his horse.]

[Zhou Yong brought the remaining 5,000 defeated soldiers to rescue them, and Zhou Tiancheng and He Sheng escaped from the battlefield and saved their lives.]

[On the day when Yuanchong City was captured, Tuoba Shuchao saw that the situation was hopeless and had already abandoned the city and fled.]

[In the banquet city, Wu Long saw the fire in Taicang blazing, and knew that Bei Feng's army had come out in full force. He was furious, and he struck hard in the tent, and the table broke into pieces. He cursed loudly:]

[“Zhou Tiancheng, what a coward!”]

[That night, he immediately led the 80,000-man Qianyuan army and quickly retreated to the Beifeng territory.]

[Upon hearing the sad news, Tuoba Shuyi refused to eat for three days, and finally sighed, "The one who destroyed our Beifeng country is Zhou Tiancheng!"]

[At the end of the month, Tuoba Shuyi organized an army of 500,000 and stationed them near Yunshan, ready for battle.]

[When Empress Qianyuan heard the news, she practiced sword fighting late at night until dawn, and the next day she sent another 50,000 troops to help Beifeng.]

[When Han and Chu heard the news of the battle, there was jubilation in the country and the people were excited. ]

[The news of the Yanbei Army's great victory in Yuanchong City spread quickly throughout the Five Kingdoms like wildfire. ]

[For a time, the name of Lu Chen made the whole world tremble with fear! ]

[The Yanbei Army began to collect the baggage and food on the battlefield, and at the same time carved a stone tablet in Yuanchong City to record the achievements of this battle. ]

[On October 25 of the same year, the Yanbei Army prepared its troops and marched north again.]
