Chapter 294

"How could the prefect of Lujiang County fight Jiangnan in the middle of the way?"

The governor of Jiujiang county was delayed by the copper bird invited by Chu Tian. As a result, Tongque led the Beifu army to the south of the Yangtze River and gave up Shouchun City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Once again, he confirmed that this was not the copper finch's strategy, which was reassuring.

Tongque's Beifu army brought him great threat.

The soldiers of Beifu army are brave and good at fighting. They are not only good at water warfare, but also can fight on land. They can run freely in Huainan area.

Tongque's strategic direction changed, which created the opportunity for Jiujiang County prefect to attack Xuzhou.

"In Guangling County, there are 30000 people of Chen Yuanlong holding fast. It is difficult to March because of the dense water network and marshes. It is better to turn to xiapi and maybe win."

Guo Jia followed Jiujiang prefect to Shouchun and proposed to attack xiapi instead of Guangling.

Chen Deng's defense of Guangling county makes people have no desire to attack.

"Yuan Shu urged me to attack Xuzhou for many times, but now the threat brought by copper sparrow has been lifted. We can recruit tens of thousands of soldiers to attack xiapi. In xiapi, there were only state minister Li Yi and ten thousand soldiers and horses. Three days later, we will straighten out the whole army and set out! "

Jiujiang prefect is determined to attack xiapi.

Chen Qingzhi was not good at riding, but he learned riding skills and led the 700 white robed army to follow the army. Although they were light cavalry, they were very rare seventh order light cavalry. Generally, the seven level arms and above are heavily armored infantry or heavy cavalry. As light cavalry, they can become seven level arms, which is extraordinary.

In xiapi City, Li Fan learned that Jiujiang County soldiers and horses cooperated with Yuan Shu to attack xiapi City, immediately strengthened the city defense and quickly recruited soldiers.

The Chutian school Li Yi guarded xiapi and trusted Li's ability.

"This time, Jiujiang prefect has an elite division, called the white robed army. They are brave and good at fighting. Only by guarding the city, can they not fight against it."

Li Yi defends xiapi and pays attention to defense. As long as they don't meet the Baipao army outside the city, it's not easy for them to capture xiapi.

"We don't have to defend. We're out of town."

A voice rang out, and Li Kai's conditioned reflection Rose: "Lord."

Chu Tian brings two heroes, Joan of arc and Zheng Zhilong, to xiapi by means of transmission array, and meets Li Yi, who defends xiapi.

Li Kai said: "since the Lord can leave here, it means that Taishan county has won. Congratulations."

"There should be a lot of talents in xiapiguo. When governing xiapiguo, we should not only cultivate farmland and prosper the market, but also pay attention to talents trapped."

Faced with the attack of Jiujiang troops, Chu Tian didn't worry. Instead, he told Li Fan to continue to govern xiapi state with peace of mind. As for Jiujiang troops and horses, Chu Tian, a group of special war fighters, could do it.

Li Yi replied: "there are many powerful people in xiapi country. There is a surname of Lu in Dongcheng County, the southernmost county. His subordinates were going to recruit them. Unexpectedly, Jiujiang troops came to attack, so this matter had to be shelved for the time being."

Surname Lu

Is it Lu Su?

Chu Tian wrote it down in his heart. It seems that Lu Su and Zhou Yu have not yet established a relationship, so they can dig him up.

As for Zhou Yu's presence in Lujiang County, Chu Tian doesn't believe that Tongque, the prefect of Lujiang County, will let Zhou Yu go. If Tongque chooses to develop in Lujiang County, it is likely to seize Zhou Yu.

Once Tongque had Beifu army and Zhou Yu, he was almost invincible in the water war.

"Always pay attention to the trend of Jiujiang County troops and horses. As long as Jiujiang County troops and horses arrive, we will go out of the city to fight."

Chu Tian transferred 9000 people from the five schools of the northern army and 4000 soldiers from Taishan county to xiapiguo, which consumed 65000 taels of silver.

Although the amount of silver consumed is amazing, it can save a lot of marching time. The amount of food and grass needed to march is also amazing, so the cost of using the teleport array is acceptable.

"The Lord ordered us to go down the river and call 5000 women's army to xiapiguo, leaving only 1000 women's army and Xiacheng's city defense forces to guard the city."

Xia Xia Liang and Li Xiuning, under the command of Chu Tian, led the 5000 women's army and used the Yihe water division to reach xiapi in a few days, so they didn't need to use the transmission array

The troops of the two sides began to gather around the center.

……

Dongcheng County, a manor, a population of thousands, hundreds of township bravery, granaries. Because the Lu family gathered the villagers and villagers around them to protect the territory and settle the people, the damage to the manor was very small, comparable to a paradise. Similar manors are numerous in troubled times. In the troubled times, there is no government to rely on, the villagers have to rely on the powerful, in the armed, self-protection.

"Childe, it is said that xiapi city is recruiting soldiers and horses. It seems that they are going to fight with Jiujiang prefect. It's really disturbing at this time of war. "

A servant came to see their childe.

Lu Su, who was only 17 years old, was practicing his village courage. When he heard this news, he thought for a moment: "Xuzhou Mu is at war with the four princes, so he has no time to divide his troops. Better to add to the icing on the cake. We will go to help in the battle. If we help to defend the city, we may be able to get the important position of Xuzhou mu. "

At this time, Lu Su, who had not yet become famous, tried to recommend himself to Xuzhou Mu instead of Chu Tian.The princes are looking for the right subordinates, and the taxis of various counties are also looking for suitable princes to invest. Once the investment is correct, we can crack the soil and seal the Marquis and shine the door. The so-called good birds choose trees to live in.

Xuzhou Mu Chu Zi Mou issued the order of seeking talents, coupled with Chu's family background, has become one of the priority goals for the gentry in various counties and counties.

"Childe, behind the governor of Jiujiang is yuan gonglu. His influence covers Yuzhou, Huainan, Nanyang and other places. If the childe supports Xuzhou animal husbandry, he may be angry with yuan Gaodao. "

"Yuan highway is just a dead bone in the grave. It's not enough to fear. I think Xuzhou animal husbandry is better than others. No, it's better than ten.". If we can get Xuzhou animal husbandry important position, our east city Lu family can have no worries about food and clothing for ten generations. I have made up my mind. If there is a village bravery in the manor to go with me, naturally, it is the best. If not, it is not forced. "

Lu Su put down his books and weighed his shield to fight.

Seeing that Lu Su was determined, the servant had to answer.

They did not take care of the family affairs at all. On the contrary, they helped the villagers by buying weapons and shields. If we go on like this, our family will be ruined.

Lu Su had always been kind to the villagers. When he heard that Lu Su was going to support Xuzhou animal husbandry, most of the villagers in the manor responded and gathered together 700 people to follow him to xiapi.

Seeing the support of his acquaintances, Lu Su could not help but sigh: "you may die in this war."

Many village braves replied: "in the past, when you received the favor of the young master, you should repay it with death."

Lu Su couldn't help but touch, and resolutely led seven hundred townships to the north.

In the northern part of Langya state, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun confronted each other. Xue Rengui tried to send cavalry to cut off the grain road of Prince Zhao. However, he had been prepared for this and used more troops to protect it.

Prince Zhao of Beihai is second only to Cao Cao of Dongjun among the enemies around Chutian.

Yuan Shu was big but not strong, while Zhao Gongzi was suppressed as Cao Cao because of the Yellow turban army in Qingzhou.

"If I had occupied Qingzhou at this time, it would not have been so strenuous."

Mr. Zhao has only half of Qingzhou at present.

"General Guan Hai recruited 80000 yellow turban troops to assist in the battle!"

"Eighty thousand should be enough."

Mr. Zhao originally planned to recruit 100000 yellow turban troops to make up the number temporarily. Guan Hai only recruited 80000 yellow turban troops. In the final analysis, it was a lot of people in Beihai that were plundered.

Only a few yellow turban generals Guan Hai, led by 60000 yellow turban troops, appeared in the cities, and the whole city took yellow scarves!

"80000 yellow turban troops attacked the city, and 70000 professional soldiers forced the opposing cavalry to fight a decisive battle."

Mr. Zhao gathered 150000 people in Zhucheng area, and 70000 professional soldiers alone. His tactics are very simple, all the way to attack the city, all the way to expel Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun's white robed army. At present, there are less than 25000 cavalry in the white robed army, and they do not attack easily in the face of the multi service army cooperated by Mr. Zhao.

"There are more and more enemies..."

Zang Ba and sun Guan saw a dense army of yellow scarves on the wall of the city. There are not many defenders in their city. Facing the 80000 yellow turban army, it's really tough.

Guan Hai was not an ordinary general, but a fierce general in the Yellow turban army.

In the face of a sea of people, sun Guan had the intention of retreating: "it is obvious that Mr. Zhao intends to use the Yellow turban army as cannon fodder to forcibly capture the city. If we can't hold on, we should be ready to retreat. We have defended the City long enough

"It's just a group of yellow scarves. How dare you?"

Zang BA was not afraid of the Yellow turban army, but his fighting spirit was even higher.

After Mr. Zhao gathered enough troops, 70000 professional soldiers moved forward. Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun retreated four Li to avoid the military situation of Duke Zhao.

The Yellow turban army took the opportunity to encircle the cities and prepare the equipment to attack them by force.

The Yellow turban army originally lacked siege equipment, but when taishici attacked the cities before, taishici had urged many craftsmen to make a batch of siege equipment.

The 80000 yellow scarves army had sufficient manpower to operate the siege equipment.

Hundreds of stone throwers were ready. The Yellow turban army collected enough stones from the nearby hills to attack the city defended by Zang Ba and sun Guan.

If it is just a simple yellow turban army, it may be nothing to be said about, but the Yellow turban army in the hands of Mr. Zhao has become a powerful card.

After busy preparation, the Huangjin army threw stones at the cities with hundreds of throwing machines. Stones of more than 20 jin roared and destroyed the battlements, gate towers and arrow towers!

The double bow bed crossbow was also attacked by the Yellow turban army. The dense crossbows and arrows were fired, which pierced the air and made a sharp sound!

The few defenders in the city quickly dodge stones and crossbows. Even if the shield is hit by a stone, the soldiers hiding behind the shield will be knocked down!

A battlement was just destroyed by a stone. The soldiers leaning against the battlements were injured by the gravel and fell to the ground, crying out in pain!

"Lift him down!"

Zang Ba urged the soldiers to rescue the wounded under the attack of the other party's stone throwing machine. The Yellow turban army with a large number of siege equipment posed a greater threat than the previous yellow turban army!"The Yellow turban army has attacked the city!"

When the garrison was suppressed by a catapult and a crossbow, the Yellow turban archers approached the city wall under the cover of a cart. The archers in the garrison shoot at the attacking yellow scarf army, and the arrows fall on the cart covered with cowhide, unable to kill the yellow scarf archers.

When the archers of the Yellow turban army arrived at the bottom of the city, they appeared from behind the chariot and fired at the garrison of the city wall.

"Use the crossbow

In order to keep the city, Zang Ba and sun Guan installed many double bow bed crossbows.

The soldier with a sledgehammer hammered the bed crossbow, and the thick crossbow shot out. The yellow scarf army was as weak as paper, penetrated by the crossbow and nailed to the ground!

However, for the 80000 yellow turban army wounded by crossbow, the casualties are almost negligible.

"You can't block my 80000 people!"

Guan Hai, the commander of the Yellow turban army, carried a broadsword and commanded the 80000 yellow turban army to attack the city.

The advantage of the yellow scarf army lies in the number of people. Quantitative change will lead to qualitative change!

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun could hear the cry of killing. They were coerced by Prince Zhao and had to save Zang Ba and sun Guan.

Zang Ba and sun Guan had been guarding the city for a long time, and the materials for guarding the city were exhausted. If they did not clear the encirclement, Zhuxian and Kaiyang counties would be hard to defend.

"It seems that we can only have a decisive battle with Mr. Zhao. I don't know whether we can win. We are at a disadvantage and have no infantry or archers to support us

"The cities had to be saved, so they had to take a gamble."

After a brief discussion with Zhao Yun, Xue Rengui finally decided to take a risk.

Mr. Zhao can survive the disaster of Huangjin army in Qingzhou and occupy half of Qingzhou. His ability is absolutely not weak. He can force Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun to fight a decisive battle, which is the embodiment of his ability.

"Two generals, general Hua Mulan's warhawks!"

A white horse Yi points to the air from the cavalry and sees a black hawk hovering in the air.

"Our reinforcements will surely arrive soon. We can fight against Mr. Zhao!"

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun know that war hawks are often accompanied by Hua Mulan's Iron Eagle scouts. Once the warhawks appear, the Iron Eagle scouts cavalry and larger regiments will come.

That is to say, they can have a decisive battle with Mr. Zhao now.

The Warhawk landed on Xue Rengui's horse. The eagle's claw was still tied with a copper tube, and there was a note in it.

More than 20000 cavalry continued to retrogress two miles, and finally had to form a forced posture.

Prince Zhao, with Dourgen, Wu Sangui, taishici and Xue wanche as generals, launched 70000 troops.

"Chu zimou has already occupied Taishan County, and can only defeat Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun as soon as possible."

Prince Zhao placed the infantry in the middle, the cavalry on the left and right wings, the eight flag cavalry and guanning iron horse on one side.

Prince Zhao personally led the infantry, taishici commander archers, Xue wanche commander some cavalry as the reserve team.

There were only Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun on the opposite side. As long as the 70000 army took charge as if they were dead, Mr. Zhao believed that they would soon destroy each other's cavalry.

Cavalry, lacking infantry and archers, are difficult to perform in the surrounding hilly terrain.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun had to fight a decisive battle, and the balance of the war fell to the side of Prince Zhao.

"I'm sorry, Chu Zimu. Only one person can succeed in fighting for the Central Plains. We have no choice."

Mr. Zhao pulled out his sword from his waist and pointed to Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's cavalry: "attack the whole army, crush the enemy!"
