Chapter 1031: All Cities in Qingzhou System Are Lost

The fall of Juxian County meant that the evacuation of the people in the two counties of Qingzhou was about to end. When the order to evacuate the people began, there were still 29 cities in the two counties controlled by the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Of course, this was a system other than the two port cities. city.

According to the original plan, the two counties have a total population of more than 1.6 million, and the county has 140,000 to 50,000 soldiers. Based on the average of four to five family members per soldier, the number of people who need to be evacuated from the two counties is about eight. About 100,000 people, but the early fall of Ju County caused the evacuation work to end early. Fortunately, after more than ten days of evacuation, the two port cities have gathered a population of nearly 600,000 people, which is not far from the planned target. The most important thing is that among the evacuated people, the craftsmen, as the most important targets, have all been evacuated.

In other words, starting from Ju County, Cao Cao's army and Tuberose army basically can't get any craftsmen from the cities in the two counties. Even if there are some, they are all junior or even apprentice-level craftsmen.

At present, the troops in the two cities have also concentrated all the troops in the two counties. Each of the two cities has more than 60,000 troops. Of course, this is the strength gathered at the cost of giving up all other cities.

And because the Eastern Expeditionary Army suddenly abandoned other cities, the players in the two counties also got a big advantage. For example, the two lord players Dutinghou and Wahaha who cooperated with Huangfu Chaobo to develop iron mines got them immediately. After receiving the notice from the Eastern Expeditionary Army, he immediately led his troops to occupy a county near him.

Dutinghou became the magistrate of Duchang County, and Wahaha became the magistrate of Xiami County. After the news came out, the two counties of Qingzhou were turbulent and lively. Before Xia Houyuan could react, dozens of cities in Beihai and Donglai counties had been divided up by players, and the rest were so fast that it was shocking.

A player alliance called Penglai Pavilion in Donglai Huang County directly occupied Huang County, Donglai County, and then began to prepare for the next war. It is a pity that they only occupied the county town, not to mention half of the city of Donglai, even other county towns except the county were not able to capture, so it was impossible to become a prince.

Not only Penglai Pavilion, but also other cities. Players who thought they had some strength began to recruit soldiers, train soldiers and horses, and prepare for war. Those who were slightly weaker hurriedly moved things in the city to their homes. When the Eastern Expeditionary Army withdrew, they only transported a large amount of valuables, such as money, high-end equipment, important raw materials, etc. Some mid- to low-end equipment and raw materials were Put in the warehouse untouched, these things are nothing to the Eastern Expeditionary Army, but to ordinary players, they are a huge windfall.

The changes in Qingzhou dazzled Huangfu Chaobo who received the pigeon letter. However, he soon saw the fighter planes and dragged Xiahou Yuan's army of hundreds of thousands into the quagmire of Qingzhou for at least three to five months. There is no chance of returning to Yanzhou.

A few hours later, several homing pigeons flew up from Dingtao City. After circling in the sky for a few times, they flapped their wings and headed towards Qingzhou in the east.

By the next day, the players in Qingzhou were spreading the news that a large amount of high-end equipment, including big yellow crossbows, could be purchased in Shuanghe City and Qingdao City.

This news made all the players in Qingzhou who had occupied the county overjoyed. If they had hundreds of crossbows in their hands and formed hundreds of crossbowmen, they would have greater confidence in fighting against Cao Cao's army.

As a result, Shuanghe City and Qingdao City became more lively. A large number of players appeared in a store outside the city. As these players left, a large number of mid-to-high-level weapons and equipment entered the cities of Beihai and Donglai counties. In the hands of the player lords, there are nearly two thousand ordinary one-stone big yellow crossbows. They are all old weapons that were replaced by crossbowmen. But they are cheaper, the price is half of the market price, and the service life of the crossbow is originally Long, only parts such as bow strings need to be replaced, so players are still very satisfied with this batch of weapons.

For example, Dutinghou and Wahaha each purchased two hundred bottles.

Penglai Pavilion in Huang County even purchased 400 crossbows at one time. Players from other cities generally purchased dozens to one hundred crossbows. Two thousand one-stone yellow crossbows were sold out in one day.

Just as Huangfu Chaobo expected, after these weapons entered the two counties, Xia Houyuan and Nose Laixiang's armies were immediately trapped in a sea of ​​people's war, struggling to move forward.

Especially Xiahou Yuan's tribe. After capturing Ju County, Xia Houyuan's army rested for a day. Xia Houyuan divided his 100,000 troops into two middle routes and set out to attack Linqu and Shouguang counties respectively. It took two days to finally capture the two cities. When he once again sent troops to attack the other cities in Beihai, he found that the owners of each county had changed, and the flags on the city heads had changed from the original ones of the Eastern Expedition Army to some random names.

When he spent half a day to invade Shouguang County, he discovered that there were less than 20,000 people in the city, and the treasury in the city was so empty that rats could starve to death.

The frightened Xiahou Yuan immediately ordered people to search and inquire in the city, and then he learned the truth of the matter. Then Xia Houyuan sent an army of 30,000 to attack the Zhuxu cities in Yingling, but he led an army of nearly 80,000 to Shuanghe City.

It was only when he arrived at Shuanghe City that he found that this small city was much more difficult to attack than Ju County. After half a year of preparation, the city wall of Shuanghe City had exceeded the scale of ordinary county cities and reached a height of three feet. This was not the most important thing. The important thing was that two miles outside the northwest and southwest of the city, there was a huge military formation several feet high, which could accommodate 10,000 people.

The three castles, one large and two small, were arranged in a finished product shape, making Xiahou Yuan feel like a dog biting a hedgehog, with nowhere to bite. Not only that, not long after the army set up camp, there were 10,000 cavalrymen several miles behind the camp, staring at them. Although he had 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalrymen, he had lost more than 2,000 when attacking Ju County. This time, Xiahou Yuan only took 5,000 to the expedition. Although the tiger and leopard cavalrymen were strong, the premise was that he had to be able to catch up with the opponent's cavalry.

In desperation, Xiahou Yuan had to lead his troops to retreat 20 miles and set up camp, leaving 50,000 troops and 5,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to watch over the Eastern Expedition Army in Shuanghe City, and then ordered the army to attack the remaining cities with all their strength. Although it didn't take much time to capture each city, it still took Xiahou Yuan more than half a month. The situation was similar in Tuberose, especially in Huang County, which took three or four days to capture.
