Chapter 160

"A light cavalry has entered the hinterland of Yangdu county. Changchen, a thief from Mount Tai, has been destroyed. You must be careful!"

As the leader of the alliance, Qi Xiaobai reminds the Lord who comes to support him.

"It's too late. My army has been attacked..."

A lord of Xihai County in Langya state climbed up the hillside with his soldiers.

Below, the 3000 horses he brought were being attacked by the opposing cavalry.

The silver level general is stabbed to death by a white General of the other side, and is provoked by Gao Gao.

Such an appalling scene made the Lord unable to recover for a long time.

Three thousand soldiers and horses were scattered by the other side, and many horses were looted.

The speed of advance of the Lords of the anti Chutian alliance was greatly reduced. They all knew that Chu Tian sent a team of cavalry to defeat the Lord of changchen and Xihai county.

Each time the United Army did not dare to destroy the United troops, but they did not dare to destroy them.

When Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui crossed the town to stop the reinforcements, Chu Tian's main force had already arrived at the bottom of the town, and more than 20000 people surrounded the town.

Fang Xuanling held a map in his hand: "if you want to break the capital city of Yang, you must first take the town of war spirit."

"Ready to attack."

Chu Tian is ready to attack the town of war spirit.

He didn't think Qi Xiaobai would surrender. After all, there were 100000 reinforcements behind Qi Xiaobai.

Although the 100000 reinforcements moved forward cautiously for fear of being ambushed by Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui, they were still slowly gathering towards the town of war spirit.

Chang Chen, who was hiding in the capital city of Yang, echoed with Qi Xiaobai.

"I'm not worried about Qi Xiaobai's alliance with changchen, but about Xiacheng and Langya city."

Chu Tian expresses his worries when the army is ready to attack the town.

Fang Xuanling continued to give advice to Chu Tian: "the Lord can surround three and lack one, and he will not deploy troops in the north. In case of an urgent attack, the garrison is likely to escape from the north gate. "

"That makes sense, then. Attack me, moon, attack me. "

Chu Tian's three pronged approach makes Qi Xiaobai feel uncomfortable.

In any case, the nail of war soul town must be removed. It has caused itself trouble one after another.

With the beating of drums, the archers of shooting sound camp and Xuzhou archers fired at the same time. The soldiers carrying the ladder launched an attack on the town!

A group of 5000 soldiers were marching fast towards the town of zhanhun, but they were not hindered by the activities of Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui's cavalry in Yangdu county.

The leader of the team was a general in the Xuanjia of Han Dynasty, and the army was under the banner of Lingcheng.

Suddenly he reached out and stopped the 5000 man army from advancing.

In order to prevent zhutu from being attacked by Xiacheng cavalry, Xu Sheng sent dozens of cavalry to spread the information from the front continuously.

A scouting cavalry came back and reported to Xu Sheng, "general, there are dense horseshoe marks ahead!"

Xu Sheng pondered for a while, and finally ordered: "the crossbow is ready."

A thousand Xuzhou crossbow soldiers pulled up their arrows and ambushed in Xu Sheng's army.

Xu Sheng continued to move forward, deliberately making the formation of the vanguard irregular.

When the troops of five thousand men marched forward two miles, there was indeed a cavalry who wanted to cut off Xu Sheng's army!

The horse's hooves roll and the wind blows!

Xu Sheng's soldiers look nervous and feel uneasy in the face of cavalry charge.

"The whole army must not panic. The crossbow is firing!"

Xu Sheng ordered the soldiers who looked loose on the periphery to step back and reveal three rows of crossbow soldiers!

Three rows of crossbow soldiers or squat or stand, holding a strong crossbow in their hands, 800 crossbow arrows shoot out!

A sharp crossbow arrow hit Hua Mulan's shoulder armor, and her body was shaken by the impact force!

Hua Mulan snorted, she knew that this time she met a difficult opponent. The other side's ability to govern the army is not comparable to the previous people.

A round of crossbows and arrows shot together, and dozens of light cavalry in the front rows were killed and fell from their horses.

After the crossbow soldiers fired, spear and shield soldiers appeared, one by one two or three meters long gun racks on the shield at an inclined angle to block the light cavalry from attacking!

Once the light cavalry collides with the spear square, it will turn upside down!

"Retreat!"

Hua Mulan, with her superb riding skills, turns in front of the phalanx and stabs an infantry member with his horse.

However, the light cavalry following Hua Mulan may not have good equestrian skills. More than a dozen light cavalry did not have time to dodge and ran into the gun forest and were pierced by long guns!

"Shoot the enemy general!"

Xu Sheng, commander in charge, throws arrows at Hua Mulan and her cavalry!

Another arrow hit Hua Mulan's armor!

At this time, Xue Rengui led the light cavalry to attack Xu Sheng's flank, and was in the same predicament as Hua Mulan.

On the premise that Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui were ambushed, Xu Sheng prepared well in advance and did not leak any water.Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui were unable to break through the battle, except that hundreds of light cavalry were damaged.

If Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui forcibly attack the enemy, they may not be able to defeat Xu Sheng's army, but the cavalry will suffer heavy losses.

Hua Mulan holds almost all the light cavalry in Xiacheng. If all the light cavalry are buried here in order to defeat Xu Sheng, there will be no light cavalry in Xiacheng.

In order to consider for the Lord, Hua Mulan still gave up the idea of attacking Xu Sheng's army.

"General Mulan, are you ok?"

Xue Rengui saw that Hua Mulan's Zha Jia was hit by two arrows. As the captain of the guard team, he knew that the Lord preferred this general. He was worried that Hua Mulan would be killed in battle and could not take the place of the main bus.

"Let's retreat."

Hua Mulan was unwilling to withdraw.

Xu Sheng saw two thousand cavalry circling his army, then left with a slightly dignified look.

He realized that the other side's generals were not easy to deal with.

"General, what shall we do?"

"Continue to go south to support the town of war spirit."

Twenty thousand soldiers attacked zhanhun Town, and Li Guang killed the ordinary generals of zhanhun town in succession, and covered Xiliu camp to attack the city wall!

Wu Sangui with a small number of elite infantry and fighting with the Xiliu camp, want to drive down the Xiliu camp.

Several soldiers of the Xiliu camp were close together, holding shields.

Wu Sangui, who can normally cut down ordinary light infantry, finds it very difficult to fight with Xiliu camp.

"Is this a high-level service?"

Wu Sangui was blocked by a soldier from the Xiliu camp, and the long halberds of the soldiers of the Xiliu battalion even pierced Wu Sangui's armor. He realized that Xiliu camp, like his guanning cavalry, was a special branch or a high-level one.

"Drive them down!"

Qi Xiaobai himself with a team of soldiers came to reinforce, storming the city's more than a dozen Xiliu battalion infantry!

Chu Tian, who was in charge of the war, finally understood how difficult it was to attack the city.

This is the first time that Chutian actively launched a crucial battle. Zhanhun town is only a third level town, but it blocks the attack of 20000 people in Chutian.

"If we attack Langya City, it is estimated that it will be difficult to defeat without 100000 troops."

Chu Tian was blocked by zhanhun Town, so he was glad that he didn't attack Langya city.

The attack on zhanhun town lasted for one day, but it was still unable to capture it. Chu Tian finally closed his army.

Chu Tian summoned all the generals, Fang Xuanling and XueYue to summarize the mistakes in the siege and the plan for the next day.

The existence of cities and towns made countless lords and famous generals lose their strength.

A strong city can even block the army for more than a year. Therefore, Chu Tian did not feel frustrated because he could not capture the town in one day.

If this is a setback, and if he really meets a large city guarded by a famous general, Chu Tian is expected to die of depression.

Chu Tian set up a temporary camp under the city to prevent being attacked at night.

The sound of horse's hooves sounded, and the soldiers on patrol were on guard immediately.

"It's our cavalry!"

Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui's cavalry returned.

Knowing that they had made great contributions, Chu Tian took the initiative to meet them.

But when he saw two broken arrows in Hua Mulan's body, he couldn't help frowning: "what's going on?"

"The last general was incompetent and was repulsed by the enemy when he led the cavalry to attack."

Hua Mulan reports on three battles.

At one time, the army of Mount Taishan in changchen was destroyed and more than 30000 people were killed. Three thousand men of the West army were killed once. An attack on Xu Sheng's army destroyed hundreds of light cavalry and killed dozens of Xu Sheng's army at the same time.

Chu Tian heard that an army of about 5000 people not only found the traces of Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui's cavalry, but also set traps to kill hundreds of light cavalry in Xiacheng. He was lost in thought.

He realized that the other side might be a military general with historical facts, or a Lord with the ability to command troops and horses.

Chu Tian did not blame Hua Mulan.

Compared with the contribution of defeating the 30000 Mount Tai army in changchen, the loss of more than 100 light cavalry is nothing.

Unless Hua Mulan is determined to attack Xu Sheng's army, leading to the total annihilation of Xiacheng light cavalry, Chutian will blame her.

Chu Tian said, "we can't do this next time."

"Yes, it won't be easily cheated at the end of next time."

"I mean don't get hurt..."

Chu Tian arranges Li Lan, an intermediate physician, to help Hua Mulan heal.

Li Lan is now an intermediate doctor and is accumulating experience. She will be promoted to senior doctor in the future.

Li Lan takes Hua Mulan to the camp.

"Is there a problem with the injury? If you need any herbs, just let me know

Chu Tian is not at ease. He wanted to ask Li Lan about Hua Mulan's injury. However, Hua Mulan arrived at the army tent and had taken off her armor. Her white back was facing Chu Tian. Hua Mulan heard Chu Tian's voice and quickly covered the front with clothes.

Chu Tian's withdrawal from the army account was somewhat embarrassing.

"Don't worry, Lord. General Mulan is only injured in the shoulder and will not leave any scarsLi Lan's voice came from the army tent.

Fortunately, in Lord, most of the injuries can be completely healed without any sequelae, otherwise it will be hard for us.

In history, many strong generals fought in their youth and were easily ill in their old age. Lord doesn't have this problem, not even scars.

Unless the injury is very serious, it will lead to disability.

"Summer cool told me an important information. Xu Sheng, a general of Wu state, was recruited by the Lord of Ju county, and Tai Shici was recruited by Kong Rong, the Prime Minister of Beihai state It is unlikely that Tai Shici was the general who frustrated Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui. Then it may be Xu Sheng. The Lord of Juxian seems to have joined the alliance against me

Chu Tian could not help but associate with Xu Sheng, a famous general of the state of Wu. Xu Sheng served for Sun Quan and fought against Huang Zu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Cao Xiu. In Wu state, Xu Sheng was one of the famous generals second only to several Dudu.

If it is Xu Sheng, who defends with 5000 troops, it is possible to defeat Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui.

The victory or defeat is not as simple as comparing the data, but also depends on the situation, arms, wisdom, terrain, morale, formation and quantity of both sides There are also factors such as luck.

"It's troublesome."

Chu Tian thought of facing Wu Sangui and Xu Sheng at the same time, as well as Chang Chen, who was defeated but did not hurt the fundamental. These are all historical military generals, and the next situation is more difficult.

The 5000 men led by Xu Sheng may be the most powerful troops among all the reinforcements, even more difficult to deal with than the 230000 Mount Tai bandits.

After Li Lan stopped bleeding, Hua Mulan came out of the camp and was timid when he saw Chu Tian: "Lord, did you see something..."

Usually Hua Mulan is always cold as ice, after the rise in popularity, it is rare to have a shy time.

"No, absolutely nothing."

Chu Tian didn't look up. His attention was focused on how to defeat Xu Shengjun.

He sat on the ground, spread out a map on the ground, and observed the paths of Yangdu County under the candle light.

He had already figured out Xu Sheng's march route, but it was difficult to ambush him.

First of all, the lack of canyons and forests; second, it is very difficult to ambush a famous general.

If we can't ambush, we can only fight head-on. It is not easy to defeat Xu Sheng in front of him. There are other lords' troops and Mount Tai bandits who are against the Chu Tian alliance.

Hua Mulan knelt down on the ground and said, "at the end of the day, the general will lead a light cavalry and cut off the food supply channel. Within seven days, they will withdraw."

"Seven days is enough for the other party to gather more than 70000 troops near the town. They will fight before the army runs out of food. And there's a 35000 strong coalition that's heading for Xiacheng. Once Xiacheng is captured, we will be very passive. "

Chu Tian expresses his worries.

Compared with the anti Chutian allied forces, delaying time is more unfavorable to Chutian. The arrival of reinforcements from all walks of life will lead Chu Tian into a war of attrition.

Hua Mulan saw Chu Tian's brow locked, so she volunteered: "at the end of the day, you can lead heavy cavalry and light cavalry to break the enemy's array. If you pay half the price, you can defeat the 5000 strong army

"Wait Heavy cavalry? "

Chu Tian seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up.

He almost forgot that he had a heavy cavalry of about 300 men in his hand. This heavy cavalry will not play an important role in siege, but will be a decisive force in plain battles.

"Master!"

Chu Tian goes directly to Fang Xuanling and leaves Hua Mulan in the army tent.

“……”

Hua Mulan is in a complicated mood.

Chu Tian finds Fang Xuanling and tells him his plan to deal with Xu Sheng.

Whenever Chu Tian had a plan, if Fang Xuanling was around to join the army, Chu Tian would discuss the plan with Fang Xuanling to prevent mistakes.

Fang Xuanling pondered about Banzhu Xiang: "my Lord has a strong general who can carry out this plan, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

"Hua Mulan was injured, only Xue Rengui or Li Guang, commander-in-chief, could be heavily cavalry. However, Li Guang's luck is not good. This battle is related to life and death. It's better for Xue Rengui to serve as commander-in-chief of heavy cavalry temporarily. "
