"This is the battlefield of the national war..."
The sky is a bit cloudy. Behind the 10000 troops is a dense forest, and in front of it is a river and a vast plain. Not far ahead, there is a village.
After Chu Tian's death, the generals of Leyi, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Hua Mulan, Li Guang and Hua Xiong reined in their horses and observed the terrain around them.
The birthplace of the war was random and the map was unknown, so Chu could not judge his position. In this case, the best strategy is to send scouts and cavalry to observe the nearby terrain, find towns, villages and water sources for replenishment, and guard against other lords and their armies who may be born nearby.
Chu Tian reconfirmed to Fang Xuanling, who had just become a full-time groom, "military division, we only carried dry food for seven days, didn't we?"
Fang Xuanling was very determined: "just seven days."
"In seven days, we have to capture a town and get supplies, or we'll be wiped out for lack of food."
The situation is not optimistic. Therefore, there is only one master of grain to carry in wartime. The grain transportation team was occupied by a large number of soldiers.
In the second national war, all the food and supplies were robbed!
The towns on the battlefield of the national war can be plundered wantonly, and the battlefield will be reset after the end of the national war.
Towns were very important in the war.
First, occupy the town can get points, every 10 days of occupation, a village can produce 3 points, a town can produce 30 points, a city can produce 300 points.
Second, occupying towns can obtain troops (recruited through barracks), grain, weapons, crossbows and arrows, armour (warehouse or forge), gold and silver (looting).
Third, the occupied town can be used to resist attacks from other lords, because the town has relatively good fortifications.
Given that only seven days' dry food was carried, Chu Tian's army had to capture a town within seven days.
We may encounter the enemy at any time during the March, so the time is very urgent.
Chu Tian asks Hua Mulan, who is in charge of investigation, "Mulan, can your Warhawk be used to find the location of the town?"
Hua Mulan nodded: "you can get rough information."
"All the ten hawks of the iron hawk scouts have been put into use to confirm whether there are enemy troops and towns within ten miles. At the same time, the iron hawk scouts explored the nearby terrain. After the investigation, they gathered in the village ahead. "
Chu Tian points his whip at the village ahead.
Before finding the town, Chutian plans to rest in the village.
A village with only a few hundred people can't bear the burden of an army of 10000, but it's better than sleeping in the open.
Because it was only the battlefield of the national war, Chu Tian did not intend to show mercy, and directly obtained supplies in the village.
The iron hawk scouts were flying in the sky, and the cavalry of iron hawk scouts also went to investigate around the village. The information that the Warhawk can transmit is limited, so the iron hawk Scouts must explore the terrain themselves.
Hua Mulan's cavalry is the best scout, so Chu Tian often takes Hua Mulan with him to get investigation information in time.
After sending ten hawks and one hundred scouting cavalry, the main force of the ten thousand army approached the villages on the plain.
The villagers of this village surrendered immediately when they saw the mighty army, especially the majestic Baima Yicong. They knew they couldn't resist the army.
Chu Tian's army was stationed in the village temporarily.
If you don't know the location of the town and the terrain nearby, you may be ambushed by other lords, or you may go to the swamp and be completely destroyed.
Fang Xuanling reminds: "from the local residents may be able to ask for useful information."
Chutian immediately threatened the nearby villagers.
"There is a city fifty miles north."
Under threat, the villagers tell Chu Tian the information they are interested in.
"A distance of 50 Li, as long as you march tomorrow, you can reach the city. How many defenders are there in the city? How many people are there in the city? "
"There may be 8000 garrisons, 150000 people."
"Eight thousand defenders..."
Chu Tian meditated.
Because each Lord can only carry 10000 people, the area of the National War battlefield is small, the scale of the city is small, and the population is not large. If we can capture a city and transfer all the elite of 150000 people to professional soldiers, we can quickly get 30000 or 40000 soldiers, which is not a small amount.
"With the eight thousand garrisons and the strong walls, we may not be able to lay them down easily. According to Yichen, it is only suitable to take by wisdom. "
Fang Xuanling learned of the forces in the northern city and thought that it was not appropriate to attack by force.
As a top strategist, he has always been against strong attacks.
Even if Leyi's s "lower 70 cities" feature can increase the attack power of siege troops by 18%, and another SS level feature of "five kingdoms attack Qi" can provide 20% attack bonus for its own troops, the attack power bonus of Leyi's siege forces can reach an astonishing 38%, Fang Xuanling still doesn't advocate strong attack.A strong attack has to pay a lot of costs, and the 10000 people brought by Chu Tian are not enough to consume.
What's more, half of the 10000 people brought by Chu Tian were cavalry. It would be a waste to send the cavalry to attack the city.
"Does the military adviser mean to draw the snake out of the cave?"
Chu Tian did not advocate a strong attack. He tried to guess the plot Fang Xuanling might offer for him.
Fang Xuanling said, "my Lord is wise. If the main force is defeated, the main force will be captured and the main force will be defeated
"It's a good plan. It's just whether the other side will get it or not, but they will say twice."
Chu Tian initially decided to use Fang Xuanling's strategy of drawing snakes out of the cave to attack the city.
If the plan fails, Chu Tian will consider a strong attack.
Anyway, the deadline for taking the city is seven days.
Chu Tian also learned from the villagers about the nearby terrain - forests and swamps in the west, valleys in the south, and plains in the north and East.
Towns are generally above the plains, so they can march in two directions.
After 10000 troops were stationed in the village, iron hawk scouts who went to investigate returned one after another. At the same time, ten hawks returned.
"At least two lords appear nearby!"
Chu Tian learned that there were two lords within ten miles. Plus Chu Tian himself, there are three Lords.
Obviously, there is not much space in the battlefield. Otherwise, there will not be at least three lords within ten miles.
"One of the Lords was discovered by the warhawks. It is impossible to know which army of civilization it is."
"Another Lord was found by cavalry, using the Tai Chi Flag of Gaoli kingdom!"
The Lord of Koryo?
Chu Tian's first national war was to fight with the Lords of Gaoli, but he did not expect to meet the Lords of Gaoli this time.
Chu Tian's most direct reaction is to destroy them.
But on second thought, maybe it's not the time to start a war with the Lord of Gaoli: "other lords will surely find the cities in the north, and then try to attack them. We can compete with each other and make a profit."
"Keep exploring. We'll follow them to the city."
Chutian adjusted the strategy temporarily.
Warhawks and iron hawk scouts kept sending back information about the Gaoli army and another army that did not know about civilization.
Chutian kept a high alert.
"Gaoli army camped in a village about thirty miles north for the night!"
"They have traveled about twenty miles, all the way north. It seems that they have found the northern city. Tomorrow they will attack the city. All we need to do is follow them. What do you think, commander? "
"What means does the Lord think the Lord of Gaoli will use to attack the city?"
"Lead the snake out of the cave. We can make a plan. "
Fang Xuanling can't help but wonder that the master's strategy has been improved.
The Gaoli army marched thirty miles to the north, and another civilized army to the northwest twenty miles.
The Lords of the three civilizations all wanted to capture the northern city.
On the first day, the parties did not venture to attack the city. They were familiar with the nearby terrain and explored the surrounding Lords.
About 300 miles north of Chutian's village, the Lord of Moscow, Ekaterina, led ten thousand cavalry to the south.
As she sent out the scouts, she went down quickly to the south.
She was not afraid to meet any enemy, for she had absolute confidence in her cavalry.
"Spearmen of African tribes found ahead!"
"Destroy them!"
Yekaterina pulled out her sword and led the Boye cavalry and Cossack cavalry to the South quickly.
A group of African tribal warriors are aimlessly searching for towns, but they find themselves being watched by Cossack cavalry on the Eastern European Plain, and they gather in a circle in a panic.
"The first one is won by yekaterina!"
The chief of the African tribe looked at the wandering Cossack cavalry in alarm. He knew that the infantry had little chance to win when they met the cavalry in the plains. His tribesmen are likely to be wiped out by Cossack cavalry!
"Where is this?"
Ming Guan led Guan Ning cavalry and Liaodong cavalry in a valley. Not far away, there was a group of knights with white background and black cross flag. The place of birth of both sides is extremely close!
"The Teutonic Knights of Germany?"
Mingguan saw the Teuton Knights' order, one of the three great knights, but did not bite it like a mad dog.
Teutonic Knights are special arms, and there are many plate armour knights. If you hit them head on, you may get head broken and bleeding.
"The heavy cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty? As a powerful civilization in Asia, the Eastern Han Dynasty is safe and supreme. It is better not to fight with them for the time being. "
The German Lord recognized the Dragon flag of the Eastern Han Dynasty at a glance.
The symbol of the Eastern Han Dynasty was too obvious, and it was also the main opponent that many alien leaders avoided in the national war.
If it had not become an enemy of the Eastern Han Dynasty, no civilization would have taken the initiative to attack the Lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty.In case of bumping into the powerful Lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it will kick on the iron plate.
The two great lords of the civilization zone, one with Teuton knights and the other with guanning cavalry, are both powerful and special arms. They have tacit understanding and parted ways, one marching northward and the other southward.
Unless there is absolute assurance, the two sides will not easily go to war.
"How can we attack the city if we lose all our troops on the first day of the national war?"
The Lords of mingguan and Germany are calm.
The Eastern Han Dynasty and the German area have not yet formed a feud. Secondly, they need to lay down a town, get supplies, and then consider the matter of war.
Chu Tian's army stayed overnight in the village.
Li Xiuning brought a thousand women's army, which somehow became the guard of Chu Tian. At the same time, there was also the shooting sound camp.
Li Xiuning patrols outside the village.
Chu Tian sits in the camp, and he sees that there are already lords in the world rankings who have won points.
First place, Ekaterina of Moscow Grand Duchy, 531 points.
Second place, France of the kingdom of France will never surrender, 482 points.
Third place, India's Mughal Empire of the shatiri, 401 points.
Fourth, commander in chief of the undead army of the Persian Empire, with 384 points.
The fifth place, the East Han District's valiant old Qin, the score 242.
No. 6, the leader of Amazon in South America, with 212 points.
……
"It looks like they had a encounter."
Chutian has no points at present. Seeing that many lords were on the list, he was not worried because the national war had just begun.
As for the ranking first lord Ekaterina, Chu Tian is impressed. It is said that she is invincible in the Eastern European Plain, and even the Polish wing cavalry can not stop her cavalry.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Mr. Qin has points, which indicates that he has fought with other lords.
This time, the competition is five times as fierce as ever.
Even Chu Tian can't guarantee that he can get the first place in the world. After all, all lords can only bring 10000 people.
The next day, just at dawn, Chu Tian ordered Hua Mulan's Iron Eagle scouts to take the lead, follow the Lords of Gaoli, and then leave the village.
Before other lords occupied the village, the village was nominally under Chu Tian's control.
"Mingguan, don't you hate the Lord of Gaoli? This time I will take revenge for you. When I return to the main world, I will ask you for dozens of excellent horses from Liaodong in return
Chu Tian's army has been keeping an eye on the Lord of Gaoli.
Gaoli army moved to the north of the city, just as Chutian guessed, the Gaoli army also used the tactic of drawing the snake out of the cave.
One of the Koryo cavalry flaunted under the city, trying to infuriate the garrison, while the others lay ambush outside the city.
The general's intelligence was not high. Soon, 6000 troops went out of the city to hunt down the Koryo cavalry. Only 2000 people were left in the city.
Li Minzhe, the southern Lord of Gaoli Kingdom, led his soldiers to observe the war situation: "the Shenqi camp of biewu group has successfully led the defenders out. Next, it is time for SHENBU, Tiao Dang, Zhugong, jingnu and Huo to show their strength. These defenders are stupid. It's the other lords who are really hard to deal with. "
His general Yi Yan had a special branch of arms, which was similar to the five schools of the northern army and had several battalions. Biewu class is an elite force to deal with nvzhenren in history.
A Warhawk hovers over the army of Korea. The eagle's eye has found the location of the army.
……
Xuzhou, xiapicheng, summer cool seat county yamen, review the performance of various counties.
One of the lists caught her attention.
This is the list of high-level prisoners of Zhou Guangfu and Peng Renping.
"Zhang Zhao, governor of Pengcheng?"
Xia Xia was surprised. She didn't expect Zhang Zhao, the Minister of the interior of Soochow, to be captured by Zhou Yafu in Pengcheng.
Before Chu Tian had time to deal with the prisoners or notice Zhang Zhao, he went to the national war.
"Let's see if we can surrender them..."
