Chapter 306

In the corridor of western Liaoning, a war related to the ownership outside the pass broke out. The cavalry of both sides galloped. More than 100000 cavalry fought in the not spacious mountain corridor. The cavalry tried to cut off the food supply channel of the other side, and conflicts broke out from time to time.

Finally, the cavalry of Ming Guan, the prefect of Liaodong, entered the corridor of western Liaoning at the cost of losing tens of thousands of cavalry, and tried to force Prince Yan, the vassal of western Liaoning, and Gongsun Zan, the prefect of youbeiping, to fight in Guzhu City, Liaoxi county.

The two sides, as the great princes with horse producing land, and with a higher proportion of soldiers and civilians outside the pass, invested a lot of cavalry.

Gongsun Zan and Prince Yan put the heavy cavalry in the middle, under the command of Di Qing himself. Gongsun Zan commanded 3000 Baima Yicong and a large number of right Beiping cavalry on the left, and the valiant and aggressive Wuhuan cavalry on the right.

Prince Yan and Fan Zhongyan ascended to command the decisive battle.

The cavalry in mingguan was more powerful than they had imagined, and many sneak attacks were useless.

The Liaodong Legion often fought with the Gaoli Lord Cui zaishan at the border, which was regarded as an army with great combat experience.

At this time, Gao Li's Lord Cui zaishan and Gao Li Minzhe vied for the unification of Gaoli, and mingguan had the opportunity to attack western Liaoning.

Ming Guan gave up attacking Gaoli, mainly considering the complex mountainous terrain between Liaodong and Gaoli, and considering that the Liaoxi army had sneaked into Liaodong, he decided to take Liaoxi first.

"Sivin, what do you think of our army's chances of winning this battle?"

Prince Yan looked at the opposite Liaodong army, and felt a sense of despair in his heart.

Liaodong army has been fighting with Gaoli, and few princes directly face the attack of Liaodong army. At this time, Liaodong army turned its spearhead to the civil war, which was equally unstoppable.

"Would you like to hear the truth or not?"

"Nature is the truth."

"Our army's chances of winning may be less than 30 percent."

"Less than 30%..." Prince Yan was in a heavy mood. He shook his fist and finally let go. "30% of the odds are OK. After all, the other side has Chang Yuchun, Li Chengliang and other strong generals. The military general at that level may be even braver than di Qing. "

Prince Yan can kill more than ten thousand cavalry of Liaodong army before it enters Guzhu City, which is enough to be proud.

Ming Guan, the prefect of Liaodong, and Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black, stood on the highland to command the Liaodong army.

In this attack on the corridor of western Liaoning, Ming Guan had to defeat the two brothers, Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan, who were separated in western Liaoning Province, in order to open the channel into the pass.

The war between the later Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty focused on Eastern Liaoning in the early stage, the Western Corridor in the middle stage, and the Inner Mongolia pass in the later stage. If you take the Liaoxi corridor, Liaodong cavalry can enter the pass without fear. The vassals inside the pass were confronted with a great number of elite cavalry and heavy infantry from Liaodong.

"Sir, in your opinion, how likely are we to win?"

"90% chance."

"Liaoxi is already in my pocket. Order Guan Ning to attack

"The cavalry in front of the hall of the Northern Song Dynasty launches an attack!"

Ming Guan and Prince Yan almost at the same time issued the order to attack, desperate to open a decisive battle to determine the ownership of the outside pass!

Iron hoof clank, the winner is king!

In Yingling County of Qingzhou, Duke Zhao's forces and Chutian's forces are confronting each other. Zhao Gongzi wants to keep Yingling County, where he started his family. The Leyi army launched the offensive and pressed step by step.

After occupying Taishan county and defeating Yuan Shu, Chu Tian turned into an offensive in some parts and turned passive into active.

"Lord!"

Leyi, Hua Mulan, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun and other front-line generals welcomed the coming Lord.

Chu Tian was tired when he saw the general on the front line. It was obvious that the army corps had begun to show their tiredness when they moved to the four sides recently.

"After defeating Mr. Zhao, the battle in Qingzhou will come to an end, and the focus will be shifted to Yanzhou, where we can fight in turn."

Once Chu Tian solves the threat of Qingzhou, his generals can rest in batches and do not have to fight all the time.

This is a sinister strategy that Chu Tian recently came up with. He completely regarded Cao Cao as an experience pack. Every general went to brush Cao Cao's regiment for training.

"Mr. Zhao has assembled more than 100000 troops, but most of them are temporary recruits and the Yellow turban army, which is not a worry. The 50000 regiment that supported Prince Yan from the plain is an old soldier with certain combat experience. His combat ability is not clear, so we must be careful. "

The scouts sent by Chu Tian may not be able to obtain all the information. Unless they fight, no one will know the combat effectiveness of Tian Ji's army.

"With the Leyi army as the main force, we continued to advance to Yingling County, forcing Mr. Zhao to fight against us. He wrote another letter to persuade Mr. Zhao to surrender. Zilong, you lead ten thousand cavalry to protect the grain road. "

Chu Tian deployed Zhao Yun in the rear to guard the grain road.

It is self-evident that the importance of grain road is self-evident. Zhao Yun can be regarded as a stable general. If he is put in the rear to guard the grain road before the decisive battle, he should not make too many mistakes.

Hua Mulan's Investigation Corps spread out in large numbers to explore intelligence, and the Leyi army in the rear marched forward according to the detected information and made a posture of attacking Yingling county.Zhao Gongzi's high-level barracks and other important buildings are in Yingling County, where a large number of grain, grass and weapons are accumulated at the same time. If Yingling county was lost, it would be equivalent to the great impact of the fall of Xiacheng on Chu Tian forces, which was hard to imagine for Zhao Gongzi.

This is what the enemy must save.

Unless Mr. Zhao surrounded Wei to save Zhao, he could not shake Chu Tian's determination to occupy Yingling county.

It was very difficult for Zhao Gongzi to rescue Zhao from Wei. First, he had to break through the defense lines of Zang Ba and sun Guan. Secondly, there were Li Xiuning and her women's army in Xiacheng. With the support of the people in Xiacheng at present, the civilians will voluntarily become the villagers to protect the city where they live and serve.

Even if Mr. Zhao had Sun Bin as his military adviser, the tactics of encircling Wei and saving Zhao would not have been successful.

"Xuzhou herdsman sent a letter to persuade him to surrender."

Mr. Zhao was entertaining Tian Ji. At this time, the letter of surrender sent by Chu Tian arrived, saying that as long as Prince Zhao surrendered, he could be made a prefect.

"It's a tempting offer, but I'm still a little reluctant. Liu Bei was exiled in many places, and eventually he was able to divide the world. Why can't I do that? "

In the face of Chu Tian's persuasion to surrender, Mr. Zhao did not agree.

He also had a large number of troops and territory under his command. In addition, with the help of Tianji army sent by plain Prime Minister Tianqi, Mr. Zhao regained a little confidence and thought that Chu Tian could be forced to withdraw from the army by means of eliminating the Bi Ye.

He moved all the surrounding population and resources to Yingling County, and appointed Tai Shici as the garrison general. At the same time, he and douergun, Guanhai, Xue wanche and others built a camp outside the city. They were fighting each other with the county seat, and did not give Chu Tian the opportunity to attack Yingling County with all his strength.

As long as Chutian could not make every effort to attack Yingling County, it would seriously delay the time of invading Yingling county and bring great pressure to the logistics of Chutian.

"At the end of the day, he will lead a cavalry to attack the grain road of the Xuzhou army and burn down its temporary granary. Then the Xuzhou army will surely retreat."

Dourgen limped to ask for instructions from Mr. Zhao. He was wounded by random arrows in the previous decisive battle and has not recovered.

"I give you ten thousand cavalry, and you try to burn down their grain wagons. If the road is blocked, withdraw here, and do not insist on it. "

Zhao Gongzi decided to divide ten thousand cavalry to Dourgen and let him harass the food supply of Xuzhou army.

With the help of his own soldiers, Dourgen turned on his horse and led a small number of eight flag cavalry and ten thousand light cavalry to attack the food supply of Xuzhou army.

"Why not fight against Xuzhou army?"

After the arrival of the 50000 Legion led by Tian Ji, he urged Mr. Zhao to go to war.

After all, Tian Ji was not the Minister of Duke Zhao. He wanted to end the war in Beihai state as soon as possible and return to Pingyuan county. The elite soldiers of Pingyuan county were transferred to Tian Ji to support Mr. Zhao, which means that the remaining troops of Pingyuan county are insufficient.

"The Xuzhou army has a ferocious attack and invades like fire. Only by clearing off the wall and defeating its spirit can we turn defeat into victory. If general Tian Ji trusts me, he should act according to my tactics. "

For a long time, Mr. Zhao has found out a way to deal with Chu Tian. The method is quite simple, that is to stick to it.

All the princes in the Eastern Han Dynasty were trying their best to expand and fight for territory. If the Xuzhou army was delayed in Qingzhou for a year and a half, the Xuzhou army might miss many good opportunities.

Mr. Zhao, who once joined hands with Chu Tian to suppress the Yellow turban army in Qingzhou, knew too much about the horrors of the Xuzhou army. The Xuzhou Army Corps opposite was 80000 elite and powerful generals.

If you take the initiative, you will fall into the trap of Xuzhou army.

"Maybe my Qi skills can defeat the Xuzhou army. But it's up to you. "

Seeing that Mr. Zhao had already figured out how to fight at a disadvantage, Tian Ji no longer insisted on going to war. Instead, he insisted on sticking to his tactics.

The Qi attack and Qingzhou crossbow men led by him are good at defense and have more advantages in defensive situation.

Zhao Gongzi's tortoise tactics really made Chu Tian headache.

After being occupied by Prince Zhao, Yingling county was regarded as a large city with complete defense facilities such as gate tower, arrow tower, horse face and moat.

Like Xiacheng, Yingling county has high-level barracks, and its recruitment speed is much faster than other cities in Beihai.

Prince Zhao left taishici to guard the lonely city. He believed that Tai Shici would not betray him.

If Dourgen is left to guard the city, maybe Dourgen will surrender if he can't hold on to it. But if it's Tai Shici, he won't betray the Lord at the critical moment.

"After my careful management, Yingling has accumulated enough grain for a year. If you can't get rid of the difficulties after one year's persistence, then you can surrender to Xuzhou mu. "

Prince Zhao didn't force taishici to keep Yingling. He could surrender to Xuzhou Mu only when his food ran out.

Even if it was Mr. Zhao himself, he did not have the ability to guard until the army ran out of food.

Tai Shici replied, "I will keep it for a year at the end of the year, and I will live up to my Lord's expectation."

In silence, Prince Zhao led the army to leave Yingling and left 30000 people to taishici. Taishici immediately recruited troops and horses in the city, and constantly recruited soldiers to defend the city. It is estimated that the number of garrison troops can be increased to more than 50000."A military general defends the city and then goes out of the city to contain the enemy. Mr. Zhao is really a tough opponent."

Chu Tian knew that Prince Zhao could strengthen himself in the calamity of the Yellow turban army in Qingzhou.

Because of the layout of Mr. Zhao, the Xuzhou Legion was more or less passive.

If Yingling county is not captured as soon as possible, I am afraid it will enter a long siege. It is conceivable how difficult it is to attack a city which has been regarded as a retreat by Prince Zhao after years of operation.

After Mr. Zhao left Yingling County, the Leyi army troops came under the city and chose to camp at the water source and set up barriers such as resisting horses, ditches and fences to prevent Tai Shici from attacking the city.

Taishici is also a strong general. If he is robbed of Chu camp by taishici, then Xuzhou Mu will be disgraced.

Under the leadership of Le Yi, a group of Duwei and military Sima under his command observed the defense of Yingling county. Yingling county was obviously strengthened, and dozens of stone arrow towers were daunting.

There are protruding rectangular piers and abutments in the city wall every certain distance, called ma Mian, about 20 meters wide and 12 meters protruding from the external surface of the wall, forming a dense cross fire with the wall. There are arrow towers and warehouses on the horse's surface.

This may be the most difficult city for Xuzhou army to attack. Under the management of Prince Zhao, the difficulty of attack is even higher than that of Taishan county.

In addition, when attacking fenggao County, the seat of Taishan County, the reinforcements of Taishan county were defeated by the forbidden army. There were no reinforcements outside Taishan County, and the defenders' fighting spirit was lax, so it was easy to attack.

At the same time, the army has to fight against the army in the county and tianjiaoji.

"Prince Zhao's tortoise tactics, as well as the defensive fortifications in Yingling County, make people feel like retreating. It seems that he had expected this day. That's why he was indifferent to my surrender. He must think that we can't capture Yingling County, and we will retreat soon after the food is exhausted. "

With Xue Rengui, Hua Mulan and other generals, Chu Tian and Le Yi came to observe the city, which made many famous generals despair.

Chu Tian seldom met Jiancheng, and he was more inclined to eliminate the main force of the other side through field operations. If the enemy's main force is destroyed, the morale of the opposing camp will drop, and the difficulty of attacking the city will be reduced several times.

The tortoise tactics of clearing off the wall field is undoubtedly a kind of painful torture for the army on the offensive side.

Sima Yi could not hold out, and Zhuge Liang had no choice but to withdraw his troops. However, the Qin army had no way out of him for several years, so he was forced to replace Zhao Kuo with King Zhao. During the Anshi rebellion, Tang General Zhang Xun defended Suiyang city with 9000 troops, blocked more than 100000 rebels, and bought time for the Tang army to reorganize its forces

Chu Tian is now also disgusted by Zhao Gongzi's strategy of eliminating the wall field.

"At the end of the year, we will need troops and a large number of siege equipment to capture Yingling county at all costs."

Leyi takes the initiative to ask Chu Tian for military equipment.

"Yes."

At the same time, a group of low-level foreign soldiers captured in the national war also came. Joan of arc's servants are high-level alien soldiers, and low-level alien soldiers are the cannon fodder in the cannon fodder.

Not only that, Chu Tian also served as cannon fodder to fill the moat and produce siege equipment.

In order to end the war as soon as possible, sacrifice is inevitable.
