Chapter 322

A group of white robed cavalry assembled at the border of xiapiguo. The cavalry was equipped with ring head sword, spear, horn bow and other weapons. The price of the horse was very high. Only one horse was equivalent to the salary of low-level soldiers for several years.

Chen Qingzhi joined the white robed army, and together with Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, took part in the attack against Huainan.

Although Chen Qingzhi's military force is not even a high-level small soldier, it is weak compared with Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, but Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun do not underestimate Chen Qingzhi. Arranging Chen Qingzhi in the white robed army can also make up for Chen Qingzhi's lack of force.

"What kind of army is that? Almost all white horses and white robes. "

The villagers in the border village of xiapiguo were shocked to see a large number of white robed cavalry passing by.

The white robed army has 27000 cavalry, with 6000 high-level cavalry and 21000 low-level cavalry.

This sweeping Shouchun area, the white robe army as the vanguard, horse step on Huainan, no one dares to compete with it!

Xu Sheng was sent to the Huaihe River area to transport grain and grass from xiapiguo and Guangling counties to the front line of Jiujiang county to relieve the pressure of the army. A large number of ships were forced to transport grain and horses.

There are not only Houjing forces in the Huaihe River area, but also a large number of mountain bandits and water bandits. They heard that the Xuzhou nomadic army swept Huainan and all fled.

For Chu Tian, this expedition is like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, which is not difficult.

More than 100000 soldiers marched in two ways.

Along the way to xiapiguo, Chu Tian personally served as commander-in-chief, governing the five schools of the northern army, the Investigation Corps, the servant corps, the Baipao army, the invincible army, the Langya Defense Corps, and the East China Sea Defense Corps, with a total of about 100000 people, attacking along the Huaihe River.

All the way to Guangling County, Chen Deng served as commander-in-chief, with Guangling Defense Corps as the main force, with a total of 30000 people, attacking along the Yangtze River.

In addition to the main force, there are also a large number of rural bravery recruited to transport grain and siege equipment.

"Will the Lord use too many troops..."

Chen Qingzhi saw the army that could not see the end, and was amazed at Chu Tian's great writing.

After several large-scale expeditions, Xuzhou already has a set of mature dispatching and logistics system. Even if one hundred thousand troops are mobilized at one time, there will be no pressure.

Chen Qingzhi thought that Chutian only sent 450000 people to attack Shouchun, but he did not expect that Chutian mobilized more than 100000 troops.

It seems that Chu Tian has the ambition of annexing the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers.

Chu Tian's attack direction was uncertain, from south to north. He used the Yi River, Huai River and other rivers to transport troops, and there were a large number of cavalry. They marched rapidly, which made the surrounding princes miserable.

They will never be able to guess who is the next target of Chu's plot.

"Chu zimou went to fight Shouchun

The copper Finch, who was attacking qua County of Wu County in the south of the Yangtze River, fell into silence for an hour.

To guard the Yangtze River, we must guard the Huaihe River. Shouchun and Hefei are important cities to control Huainan. They can be attacked and defended if they are occupied.

For Jiangdong forces, it is very important to have Shouchun and Hefei.

If it was not for the Lord Huo of Jiangnan, it would be a good time to annex Jiangnan, and the bronze finch would have captured Shouchun.

The copper finch went to fight Jiangnan, and Chu Tian took the opportunity to step on Huainan, which was very hard for the copper finch.

Emperor Sun Quan attacked Hefei many times in order to obtain Huainan.

"He ordered Huan Wen and Zu Ti to lead their troops to capture Hefei. Don't try to compete with Chu Zi in Shouchun. "

Tongque hesitated again and again. Since Chu Tian wants to fight Shouchun, he can capture Hefei. As long as we occupy Hefei, we can go north to the Huaihe River and forge ahead in the Central Plains.

The order of the bronze finch soon spread to the desk of Huanwen and zuti, two generals in Lujiang.

Looking at the map of Huainan area carefully, Huan Wen found that the terrain of Hefei was very dangerous: "send troops to take Hefei immediately, it should not be too late. I led 20000 Chai sang soldiers to capture Hefei, and you led Lujiang soldiers to support them later! "

"Good!"

Zuti also had a strategic vision and knew the importance of Hefei, so he began to march toward Jiujiang county.

This is the action of Xuzhou and Yangzhou to fight for the control of Huainan. It is not just a simple crusade against Houjing.

Chai sangbing and Lujiang soldiers, totaling 40000, attacked Hefei.

When the main Beifu army attacked Wujun, he immediately mobilized his generals to occupy Hefei.

If he occupied Hefei, Chutian's control over Huainan would decline.

Chu Tian personally led the five schools of the northern army. Wu An Guo served as the deputy general, Fang Xuanling and Lu Su served as the soldiers.

Lu Su's hometown is adjacent to Jiujiang county. He knows Jiujiang County quite well. He holds a parchment map: "Shouchun and Hefei are important towns in Huainan. If the LORD takes them, he can not only spy on the south of the Yangtze River, but also open up farmland and get a lot of military food every year."

"Shouchun can really open up farmland, which is why I came to attack Huainan."

Chu Tian has long coveted Shouchun and Hefei. Winning the two cities has limited effect at present, but it will have great effect on the future.After stationing troops in Shouchun and Hefei, the princes in the south of the Yangtze River could not go north, so Chu Tian could not worry about the south.

Fang Xuanling reminds: "the troops of Lujiang may go to attack Hefei."

"It is possible. The invincible army and the army of servants are going to take Hefei. "

Chu Tian decided to divide his troops into two parts: one was to fight Shouchun and the other was to take Hefei, taking all the two important cities in Huainan area.

After receiving the order, Yang Ye immediately led 10000 cavalry southward to capture Shouchun.

In addition to cavalry and infantry, Joan of arc's servants received orders to take over Yang Ye.

No one was watching her this time, but she led the operation alone.

Perhaps she has adapted to her present status. She did not have the idea of escaping. Instead, she took the army of servants and, according to the map, coordinated Yang Ye's invincible army to the south.

In Shouchun City, Hou Jing learned that the grand princes of Xuzhou and Yangzhou had attacked Jiujiang county. He could not help but regret that he had offended Chu Tian and Tongque at the same time.

He led the cavalry out of the city, trying to block the Xuzhou army.

"White robed army, more than ten thousand white robed army!"

Hou Jinggang has just left the city. The cavalry scouts in front of him will send back more detailed information, which makes Hou Jing scared.

In a short period of two months, a large number of white robed soldiers appeared in Huainan area!

"Chen Qingzhi's white robed army is not the upper limit of 7000?"

Hou Jing was terrified to hear that there were tens of thousands of white robed soldiers coming.

So just ready to leave the city, Hou Jing retreated back to Shouchun City, strengthening the city walls, planning to defend.

"Xuzhou MuQing will do its best to attack Shouchun city. He must be well prepared. You used to burn, kill and plunder in Pengcheng state. If you were caught alive by Xuzhou animal husbandry, you would all be put to death, or even sink to the Huaihe River to feed the fish. "

Guo Jia still does not forget his sarcasm.

Hou Jing's face was ferocious: "if Shouchun city is broken, I will kill you first! So you still have to keep the longevity for me

Guo Jia slightly changed color: "I I'll try my best. "

The white robed army was advancing as fast as it could. Wherever it went, the counties such as Zhongli and Dangtu surrendered. No county magistrate was willing to defend the city for Houjing.

Chu Tian's five northern military academies were in the rear. When they arrived in Dangtu County, the people met with each other.

"The people have been suffering for a long time. The emperor of Ming Dynasty attacked Jiujiang to save the local people from the fire and water."

When Tu County Magistrate saw Xuzhou's herdsmen coming, tears and tears, he almost hugged Chu Tian's thigh to tell Hou Jing's evil deeds.

Hou Jing connived at his soldiers burning, killing and looting everywhere to buy people's hearts. Dangtu County was also suffering from it.

"I thought Hou Jing would resist tenaciously, but in this case, it was as easy to Take Huainan this time."

People's heart and blessing value are the same, usually can not see what role, but sometimes it can play a magic effect. Houjing ruled Jiujiang County, the people's heart was low, almost fell in the wind, each village and county also took the initiative to provide food and grass for the army of Xuzhou animal husbandry.

"After the arrival of Hou Jing, every family had to hand in 50% more grain. From time to time, there were also bandits everywhere. In Dangtu County, at least 100000 people fled to the mountains and forests to avoid tyranny and chaos."

Dangtu County Magistrate explained in detail the destruction of Huainan by Hou Jingzhi.

There are millions of people who may be affected in Huainan.

Chu Tian called on the civilians of Dangtu County: "Hou Jing is in disorder and the bandits in Huainan mountain are rampant. This is the punishment given by heaven to Huainan. But God sent me to calm down Hou Jing's rebellion. Please help me to restore peace... "

Chu Tian has learned to play tricks in front of local civilians, and the popularity of the people has really risen.

"The white robed army must have arrived at Shouchun city by this time."

As a rear army, the white robed army had arrived in Shouchun city when Dangtu County gathered people's hearts.

Hou Jing was awed by the army of Xuzhou and did not dare to go out of the city to fight Chen Qingzhi's white robed army.

"All the men who are higher than the wheels will take part in guarding the city."

Hou Jing knew that Xuzhou Mu wanted to destroy him, and Chen Qingzhi was there. Once he was captured alive by Xuzhou mu, he would be executed.

In order to protect himself, he drove all the men of Shouchun city to guard the city at any cost. About 200000 people were forced to come to the city wall.

Houjing's cavalry also realized that they would die after the city was broken, so they agreed with Hou Jing's practice and expelled the people to guard the city. With the strength of Shouchun City, together with the 200000 strong men and children who had been forced to fight against Shouchun, they did not believe that the army of Xuzhou animal husbandry could conquer Shouchun.

"As long as we hold on for two or three months and wait for Xuzhou Mu to participate in the battle of Mobei, they will be forced to withdraw."

Hou Jing inspires the generals.

His idea is also very correct. As long as he sticks to it for two months, Chutian will have to retreat.

Hou Jing with a group of soldiers came to the city wall, overlooking the white robed army under the city. The white robe was the same color, a large number of white horses, and banners covered the air.

"Chen Qingzhi..."

Hou Jing saw Chen Qingzhi again. This time, Chen Qingzhi led not ordinary light cavalry, but two thousand white robed army!Seeing the familiar white robed army, Hou Jing's fingers were shaking. After taking refuge in Xuzhou animal husbandry, it was obvious that Xuzhou animal husbandry helped Chen Qingzhi recruit the white robed army regardless of the cost.

I knew he would have gone to Xuzhou instead of Chen Qingzhi.

Hou Jing regretted becoming an independent force.

Now he occupies Shouchun, but there is no room for development.

If it was still two or three years ago, when all the lords had only a few counties, he would have made a great career.

Hou Jing on the wall is looking at Chen Qingzhi below, and Chen Qingzhi is also observing the defense of Shouchun city. Chen Qingzhi sent people to fight. Hou Jing was afraid of Chen Qingzhi and the white robed army and did not dare to fight.

"Hou Jing is not a fool. On the contrary, he is quite smart. But his desire made him eager for quick success. "

Chen Qingzhi saw that Hou Jing did not want to go out of the city to fight, so he had to besiege the city and wait for the infantry and archers from the rear to attack the city.

At the same time, Chen Qingzhi commanded the white robed army to divide troops to occupy various dangerous places, giving Hou Jing no chance to escape.

Hou Jingwai had no reinforcements. At this time, he was like catching a turtle in a jar.

Along the Yangtze River, the Guangling Defense Corps led by Chen Deng attacked Liyang County of Jiujiang county.

The copper Finch, the prefect of Lujiang River, crossed the Yangtze River from Liyang county to the south of the Yangtze River. Occupy Liyang, you can monitor the Yangtze River.

Chen Deng's Guangling defense regiment has 30000 people, a large number of people, Liyang county magistrate insisted on three days later, under Chen Deng's appeasement, chose Xian city to surrender.

Chen Deng entered Liyang county to count the population, grain, gold and silver, pacify the people and recruit talents.

"After the state herdsmen occupied Jiujiang County, they need talents to guard Jiujiang county. If there are great talents, they can recommend themselves."

Chen Deng had a notice put up.

Less than three days after the notice was posted, a man who claimed to be Liu Fu of peiguo came to see Chen Deng.

Chen Deng talked with him. He was surprised, so he sent someone to escort him to meet Chu Tian.

Chen Deng himself stayed in Liyang county to wipe out mountain bandits and promote popular support.

"Hefei, I won by Huanwen!"

Huan Wen led 20000 Chai sangbing troops to occupy Hefei first. The county magistrate of Hefei came down without fighting.

Hefei has suffered a long time of war, with a population of less than 100000, and the city walls are damaged.

After the arrival of Huan Wen's troops, he immediately began to repair the wall and prepare to stick to it. According to the information provided by his Lord Tongque, the army of Xuzhou Mu was extremely terrible and could not go out of the city to fight with it.

"You go to investigate. The rest of the troops and horses migrate to Hefei. The population nearby enters Hefei to enrich the population of the city."

Huainan area is very chaotic, mountain bandits, water bandits rampant, many powerful strongholds, coupled with the perennial war between alien lords, Huainan population loss is huge, a large number of people fled to the mountains and forests or local powerful manors.

If we want to build Hefei into a military town, we must have enough population.

After the construction of the city wall, Huan Wen sent out his cavalry to build the city wall.

Soon, the scouts came back with a message: "general, there is a cavalry of about 10000 people. The vanguard is less than five miles away from Hefei!"

"It must be the cavalry of Xuzhou animal husbandry. How can they be so fast?"

As the most senior general of Tongque, Huan Wen knew that Xuzhou Mu was fighting for Hefei, so he immediately organized defense and held on to Hefei.

There is a black thin line on the horizon, and the thin line gradually turns into cavalry all over the mountains. Yang Ye, the powerful Pei country, leads an invincible army to take Hefei!

"General, we seem to be a little slow!"

Yang Ye's scouts and cavalry found that Hefei had been occupied by other princes.

Yang Ye looks at Hefei, where troops have begun to be stationed.

If Hefei had not been controlled by the great lords, 10000 cavalry could easily be captured. Now it is almost impossible to capture Hefei with 10000 cavalry.
