The fire was raging, the fire was spreading, and the hot flame twisted the air.
The bowangpo area was destroyed by the fire. Guo Ziyi's Shuofang army had thousands of troops engulfed by the fire and howled everywhere.
Wei Wuji took charge personally, taking Pang Juan as the vanguard general, and led Wei soldiers to attack Guo Ziyi's Shuo Fang army with the fire.
The number of Shuo's army was large, but not as elite as Wei's.
Armed with shield and three layers of armour, Wei soldiers fought hand in hand with the Shuofang army, killing a large number of Shuofang army, resulting in heavy casualties.
As a high-level heavy armored infantry, Wei Wu soldier has always been one of the trump card troops of Chu Tian.
In the past, Pang Juan was the only one to support the overall situation, which had not yet taken shape. Therefore, the achievements were not obvious. However, after the formation of the military soldier corps, it broke out a strong combat force.
Because Wei Wuji served as the chief general, Pang Juan did not need to distract himself from commanding other troops. He only needed to lead Wei Wu soldiers to break the battle!
Li Ling led a group of Jingchu warriors in the rear to provide cover for Wei soldiers with crossbows.
As a descendant of Li Guang, Li Ling's bonus to the army's crossbow was also considerable. In addition, the Jingchu warriors, who were archers and crossbowmen of the sixth order light infantry, fired fiercely, aggravated the casualties of the Shuofang army.
Hu Chi Xu Chu served as the bodyguard of Shuo Tang Dynasty. Only Qin Qiong helped Guo Ziyi. He rushed to kill in Wei Wu, and from time to time he shot crossbows and arrows from Jingxiang warriors.
Pang Juan did not fight with Qin Qiong, but directed Wei Wu soldiers to attack, and divided hundreds of Wei Wu soldiers to attack Qin Qiong.
Wei soldiers with Pang Juan's bonus are not as good as those with Wu Qi's, but they have not weak combat power. Hundreds of Wei soldiers surrounded Qin Qiong, with three floors inside and three outside. Wei soldiers on the third floor hold halberds to form a gun forest, while Wei soldiers on the outer three layers hold infantry crossbows and shoot at Qin Qiong.
Since the Yuzhou war, Qin Qiong's Xuanjia cavalry was completely destroyed, Qin Qiong's threat has been reduced.
If Qin Qiong's personal force is too high, if he does not retreat in time, he will be consumed by a large number of Wei Wu soldiers.
One hundred Wei soldiers are not enough to kill?
That's a thousand.
Killing a thousand Wei soldiers is totally different from killing a thousand low-level infantry.
Xia Houdun and Li Dian led the Bowang Defense Corps to fight against Li daozong, the king of Jiangxia.
Xia Hou Dun shot into the enemy's line with a long gun. He wanted to capture Li daozong alive, but he was forced back by hundreds of crossbow soldiers around Li daozong.
Li daozong also had a special army like Xue Rengui, the archer of Tang Dynasty.
If XiahouDun dares to kill him, the crossbow soldiers will shoot in volley, and then the cavalry will go up to harvest, maybe XiahouDun will be captured alive instead.
"The fire is getting worse. Retreat immediately!"
Tang was blocked by the fire, and saw that each regiment fought on its own, and knew that it was not good, so he ordered all the legions to retreat backward.
Otherwise, the fire will continue to spread and the Tang army may be surrounded and annihilated in bowangpo.
After Qin Qiong stabbed more than 30 Weiwu soldiers to death at the cost of injury, Qin Qiong stood out from the encirclement.
In order to resist and severely damage the remains of Yuzhou army in Shuo Tang Dynasty, Guo Jia, the military division of the army of soldiers, proposed to burn bowangpo to block the attack of Shuo Tang, and forced Shuo Tang to return to the south of Xiadao, Fangcheng.
Wei Wuji and Guo Jia had enough time to reorganize their troops and set up defense in Bowang.
The prince of Runan Prince Wen personally led a team of soldiers to support Wei Wuji and strengthen Wei Wuji's military power.
It is said that the remains of the Yuzhou army in the Tang Dynasty and some Jingzhou troops returned to the territory belonging to Nanyang Basin and counted the losses. About 10000 soldiers and horses were damaged, and all people's faces were blackened by the smoke from the fire.
Qin Qiong was injured, so Tang Dynasty quickly asked people to heal for her.
Since Cheng Yaojin was captured by Chu Tian, it is said that Qin Qiong is the only commander of Xuanjia army in Tang Dynasty. Without Qin Qiong, the Xuanjia army of the ninth rank cavalry would have nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty.
"This plan will hurt the harmony of heaven, and those who propose it may lose their life. "
Wei Zheng followed the Tang Dynasty's expedition to Bowang, and saw the raging fire, which spread to the camp. He could not help feeling the horror of the plan.
Because of the fire, Shuo Tang's army was in a mess and fought separately. It was said that the Tang Dynasty was blocked by the fire and could not support Guo Ziyi in time. As a result, Guo Ziyi's Shuofang army lost a lot.
Shuo Tang had no choice but to say, "the burning of bowangpo was mostly done by Guo Jia, his military adviser. But this Guo Jia is not a long-lived person and should not care about life lost. "
Tang naturally knew the existence of Guo Jia, and the other side's army of soldiers matched with a military division, which directly promoted the combat effectiveness of the army.
It is estimated that the fire in bowangpo will continue to burn for some time, and Tang can not tell when the fire will stop.
Before the fire abated in bowangpo, Shuo Tang's army could no longer March to the Central Plains.
There were soldiers in the way, saying that the Tang Dynasty could not even get out of Nanyang basin.
"What is Yang Shilang doing if he doesn't come to attack the Central Plains? "
at this time, Shuo Tang, located to the south of bowangpo, was dissatisfied with Yang Shilang, who actually controlled Jingzhou.
In Shuo Tang's opinion, the main force of Chutian was in Hebei, which was the time to recover Yuzhou. However, Yang Shilang seemed to have no intention of attacking the Central Plains. Instead, he only supported Shuo Tang with 30000 Jingzhou troops to attack the Central Plains, and regarded Shutang as a night watchman guarding the northern gate of Jingzhou.Jiangling, where there are tens of millions of acres of good land, a large population.
Cao Bin, pan Mei, Han Shizhong, Wu Zhen, Liu Pan, Huang Zhong and other military generals gathered, and Yang Shilang arrived in person to gather troops.
The target of this attack is neither Central Plains nor Jiangdong, but Yizhou!
Yang Shilang wants to take back what he lost in Chutian from Yizhou.
There are a lot of talents in Yizhou, but there is a lack of commander-in-chief. In the face of Zhang Dao's continuous attack in Hanzhong, Liu Yansheng is ill. For Yang Shilang, there is no better opportunity to annex Yizhou and take Yizhou as his own.
Yizhou is a land of abundance. As long as Yizhou is properly managed and at the speed of territorial development in the Lord, the Chengdu plain can quickly become a rich grain producing area, even if it can feed tens of millions of people.
"All the regiments are ready. This time, 200000 troops from Jingnan and Jingbei, 5000 warships and fishing boats, will be ready to go downstream and invade Bashu at the command of the Lord."
At present, Han Shizhong, as a general of Yang Shilang, reports to Yang Shilang.
"Ganning of Bashu has agreed to help us attack Chengdu of Shu county. He will lead his fleet to meet us in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and at the same time provide part of the food and grass for our army. Therefore, our food and forage pressure will not be too high because of the expedition. "
"Ganning has opened the way for us, and there are topographic maps of Bashu. Besides Yizhou in Hanzhong, one year is enough. At that time, Wu Zhen, as the chief general, went out of Hanzhong and incorporated Hanzhong into the territory, and then occupied Jingzhou and Yizhou, with a territory larger than that of Shu Han. If you advance into the Central Plains and retreat, you can divide the whole country. "
Before attacking Yizhou, Yang Shilang repeatedly confirmed that his strategy was not biased.
Xu Shu, Cai Mao and others came to Jiangling to say goodbye: "Lord, please do your best to attack Liu Yan in Yizhou. Liu Yan is no better than you and can be easily defeated. I will guard Xiangyang for the Lord to prevent the Tang Dynasty from attacking Xiangyang while Xiangyang is empty. "
"If you have yuan, I can have no worries. In this expedition against Liu Yan in Yizhou, the soldiers and horses from Jingnan and Jiangling areas were mostly used. As for Xiangyang and Fancheng's troops and horses, the lines did not move. It said that the Tang Dynasty could not capture Xiangyang. "
Yang Shilang and Xu Shu explained to each other. Then he turned around and glanced at Han Shizhong, Wu Zhen and others who were present: "in this war, please do your best. If we can pacify Bashu in one year, we will be able to fight for the world and have a bright future! "
Han Shizhong, Wu Zhen, pan Mei, Cao Bin and other military generals Qi Qi replied: "we must do our best!"
Two hundred thousand troops were mobilized, and five thousand ships, large and small, covered the river and marched upstream.
In order to annex Yizhou as soon as possible, Yang Shilang put in almost all the boats, and at the same time forced the fishing boats along the Yangtze River to transport troops.
Gan Ning, a powerful man in Bajun, gathered forces secretly and attracted officials, powerful men and mountain bandits who were dissatisfied with Liu Yan and agreed to act in secret.
Ganning is known as "Jinfan thief" in Bajun. When he was young, he led a group of Rangers to attack others everywhere. Therefore, he was very rich and extravagant.
Ganning began to make friends with the officials of various cities in Bajun. If these officials warmly received them, they would make friends with them. Otherwise, they would be plundered or even killed by Ganning.
This is Gan Ning's way of life.
But now Ganning has become a lot more restrained, no longer attacking others, but began to study various schools of thought, become local officials, want to make a difference.
At this time, Yang Shilang went to Ganning in the name of royal clan and muliubiao of Jingzhou, and promised him the official positions of prefect of Bajun and zahao general, and took Ganning as the chief General to fight for the world.
Gan Ning was quite moved and thought that he would make a difference if he took refuge in Yang Shilang.
With Gan Ning's chivalrous character, he will be loyal to whoever is good to him.
Liu Yan's kindness to him is limited or even not, and Ganning is not loyal.
……
Yecheng, like Sun Jian's attack on Hefei, Leyi's attack on Yecheng was also blocked.
Yecheng is stronger than Hefei's fortifications, and there is no heavy rain to destroy the fortifications. Leyi can only attack by force.
At present, Hefei is only a medium-sized city, while Yecheng is a huge city with a population of one million. Gao Jianhe recruited soldiers in the city. When the number of garrisons in Yecheng was the highest, it reached an astonishing 80000.
Because Yecheng recruited new soldiers, it lost a lot of losses and decreased the number of soldiers in the garrison war.
Leyi's siege troops suffered heavy losses, of which only half of the 40000 troops in the offensive corps were left.
Liu Bei's army got supplies in Handan. Guan Yu recovered from his injury and was ready to go south again.
Hu Ma of Taiyuan asks Chu Tian again and again for help, but Chu Tian can't send troops to Taiyuan.
From Yecheng to Taiyuan, Chutian can choose two roads. One is to pass through Fukou and cross Taihang Mountain, and the back road will be cut off by Liu Bei.
Or, through Shangdang County, to Taiyuan.
This route is equally dangerous.
Hanoi county and Hedong county are in the hands of Jun Lao Qin, while Shangdang County surrenders to Zhao long. Once Chu Tian enters Shangdang County, the garrison of Hunei county and Hedong county will be disturbed and surrounded by Zhao long.Chu Tian could mobilize several military generals from the Hebei battlefield to support Hefei. In theory, the valiant old Qin could also send one or two commanders from the Xiliang battlefield to Hedong to lead the troops of Hedong and cut off Chutian's rear road.
When the Leyi army was unable to attack, xialiang suggested: "it is better to attack than to encircle. You can dig the moat, break the zhangshui River, and flood Yecheng."
"Water attacks Yecheng..."
Chutian points to the location of zhangshui on the map. Zhangshui is on the edge of Yecheng. Soldiers and villagers can be sent to dig trenches and lead them to Yecheng.
The Rushu water in Hefei has risen sharply, and the water level of zhangshui has also begun to rise. It has reached the flood season.
The idea of "cool summer" should come from the battle of Cao Cao attacking yuan Shang in history.
Chu Tian chose to attack Yecheng in this season, and had a similar idea.
"Destroy all the earth mountains and tunnels, and form a trench overnight. The four tigers of the northern army led the village bravery to dig the trench. The white robed regiment, on guard against Liu Bei's cavalry attacking the south, the tiger leopard corps and the speed corps, monitor the city gates, and prevent the defenders from going out of the city to attack the soldiers digging the trenches and the villagers. "
After Chu Tian decided to use water attack, he gave up the strong attack.
Water attack was a tactic Chu Tian was not willing to use. The water attack will destroy the prosperous Yecheng, and at the same time, there will be a large number of refugees.
In addition, as long as the defenders are resolute enough, they can still hold on for months even after Yancheng.
But now it seems that if zhangshui was used to irrigate the city, its will was shaken, and then besieged for several months, Yecheng would probably have civil strife and then surrender.
"If they can hold out until November, then we will have to withdraw."
Chu Tian is scheduled to retire.
In November, there will be the epic battle of Jingkang.
The reward of "the battle of Jingkang" is likely to be Yue Fei, a famous general. Chu Tian must take it. Otherwise, if Yue Fei is robbed by other princes, Chu Tian will face unprecedented threat.
Yue Fei in his peak period is also a terrible existence that can reverse the local battlefield.
It also depends on the rules of the fourth epic campaign.
Generally speaking, the epic campaign is shorter than the national war, lasting 1-3 months.
"During the battle of Jingkang, we can still encircle the city until they can no longer defend it. It is estimated that Zhao long will instruct the garrison to surrender. After all, he has to face the public opinion of all players, and there are many players in Yecheng. "
The cool summer inspired Chu Tian.
Because there are many players in Yecheng, so the grain is exhausted. Zhao long, under the pressure of the players, will make Yecheng surrender.
In any case, just surround Yecheng.
"Brothers, the task of digging trenches for us by the main bus must be completed properly for me!"
Carrying a spade, MI Fang led the other four tigers of the northern army, wu'anguo, Lu Kuang, Xing Daorong, and a group of villagers to dig trenches to draw zhangshui.
In addition to the four tigers of the northern army, there were also a group of prisoners who surrendered in Yuzhou, including Cai Zhonghe, two generals of Jingbei.
If the CAI brothers were not from the Jingzhou faction, and their loyalty was unknown, MI Fang even wanted to put the CAI brothers into the account and change the four tigers of the northern army into six tigers of the northern army.
The four tiger platoons of the northern army were sparsely arrayed, but they had a lot of strength and energy. It was appropriate to dig trenches.
Under Mi Fang's urging, a group of people are in full swing.
