In Qu county of Xuzhou, the warships of Jiangdong army appeared on the sea surface, and all merchants and civilians in Qu county were in panic.
The number of ships of Jiangdong army has reached thousands!
The huge building ship is undulating on the sea surface, and hundreds of Jiashi stand on each deck of the building ship with a cold light.
Tongque, Zhou Yu and Xie Xuan stood on the city wall. They could see hundreds of merchant ships in the port of Qu county and the panic stricken people at the wharf.
"Xuzhou is the basic plate of Chu's plan. Its main force was transferred to the Central Plains and attacked Jingxiang, which was a good opportunity to attack Xuzhou and Qingzhou."
Tongque's Jiangdong Navy also ran smoothly in coastal areas.
Zhou Yu, Yi Yi and LV Meng, as military generals of the Navy Department, have a bonus to the fleet, improve the sailing capacity of the fleet and reduce the loss during the voyage.
"Retreat to the city!"
Mi Zhu, the owner of the MI family of Qu county, is going to lead a fleet of merchant ships to Japan for trade.
When he saw the Zhuque battle flag of Jiangdong army, MI Zhu was pale.
As one of the top officials of Xia army, MI Zhu naturally knew the banner of Wu army.
The Fubo army is attacking Gaoli at this time, so it is impossible to appear here.
Mi Zhu and a group of merchants gave up the large merchant ship which was full of goods.
If they are captured by the Wu army, they may be killed or blackmailed by the Wu army.
As a commercial port, Qu county has no fortifications, because Chu Tian believes that attack is the best defense.
This is also the first time Qu county was attacked by the enemy.
Faced with at least 200000 troops of Wu army and hundreds of city defense forces in Qu county, they were unable to defend at all.
It's not so much a city defense force as a yamen, who usually maintains public order.
In the transmission array of Qu county, the first batch of 500 women's army came out. The princess of Pingyang, Li Xiuning, led the detachment to take over the county yamen of Qu county.
Li Xiuning was named as the central guard army by Chu Tian and was already a senior member of the guard army. When a war broke out, Li Xiuning's rank was much higher than that of the county magistrate, and he could even order the governor to be a governor.
"Lord Zhonghu, Wu Jun Wu army has thousands of warships, at least 100000 people! There are only 500 low-level soldiers in Qu county, and there are less than 100 horses, so we can't defend at all! "
Qu county magistrate's face was not only pale, but also bloodless.
For a long time, the magistrate of Qu county only needs to develop the economy, but this time the powerful enemy attacks, Qu county is in danger.
Li Xiuning came to appease the people: "there is no need to panic. The transmission array of Xuzhou counties has been occupied by the king of Xia. Tens of thousands of reinforcements are gathering in Qu county, and they will surely keep the city."
Mi Zhu also came to the county government: "our Mi family is willing to donate 1 million taels of silver for military supplies, and recruit another 3000 strong men to defend the city."
Qu county magistrate can not help but move.
This is a million taels of silver!
Because of the threat of Qu county where Mi's family is located, MI Zhu directly donated 1 million taels of silver to defend Qu county.
The arrogance of the MI family is second to none in Xuzhou.
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang held high positions in the Chu Tian power, and Chu Tian intended to hand over the Japanese trade to the MI family. Therefore, the MI family was rich and could be hostile to the country. In Qu county, even the county magistrate had to look at the MI family's face.
Because Li Xiuning is a cool bodyguard in summer, she doesn't need to rely on the breath of MI family. She hugs her fist and says, "thank you, MI."
"Without the king of Xia, there would be no prosperity of the MI family. It was only a million taels of silver."
Mi Zhu waved his hand.
Compared with the huge financial power of Chu Tian, the 1 million taels of silver of the MI family was nothing. The military salary and military supplies expenditure of Chu Tian force were as much as 10 million silver every month.
Li Xiuning came to defend the city in person, and the women's army came from the transmission array.
Transmission array can transmit a limited number of people every day, about 10000 people.
The merchant ships moored in the port were washed and plundered by Jiangdong army, and a lot of goods were lost.
However, compared with their own lives, MI Zhu and other businessmen thought that their small lives were more important, although they were distressed by their own losses.
"With the development of Chu Zimu, Xuzhou is really rich and invincible..."
Tongque saw that Jiang Dongjun's soldiers robbed Qu county's ships, and each ship was loaded with goods to be transported to Japan. The goods of each merchant ship may be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, or even more.
There is no doubt that Xuzhou is the richest state at present, because Chu Tian built a large number of special buildings in Langya state, with various bonus.
Chutian's ambition was not only to unify the Han Empire, but also to control Korea, Japan and America from Xiacheng, so he never gave up Xiacheng.
Chang'an and Luoyang are located in the hinterland of the Han Empire, so it is the best choice to control the Han Empire. However, with the increasing importance of sea control, Chu Tian needs to have a long-term vision.
However, when the enemy turned into a Wu army with a large fleet, Xuzhou, which had been quiet before, became a battlefield again.
Jiangdong Navy directly bypassed the Jianghuai defense line and approached Langya state.
If Xiacheng of Langya state is captured, it will not only lose a huge city but also the morale of all legions."The plundered Xuzhou merchant ships alone can make up for the military expenses of the northern expedition. Northern Jiangsu Plain is conducive to cavalry action. Even if it is captured here, it is difficult to hold fast to it. We go to attack the hilly areas in the east of Langya, which is good for our infantry and crossbow defense
Tongque gave up attacking Qu county and thought that Northern Jiangsu Plain was easy to attack and difficult to defend.
This was also the most troublesome place in the northern expedition. Even if Xuzhou was captured, it was difficult to hold on to it.
However, Tongque also has a choice, which is the hilly terrain of Shandong Province.
The news of Jiangdong Navy attacking Quxian county and robbing merchant ships spread to the whole of Xuzhou, and people were worried for a time.
Xuzhou has had no beacon fire for ten years!
In Xihai County in the east of Langya state, tens of thousands of Beifu troops came ashore and easily captured this unprepared county seat, threatening Xiacheng!
Before the arrival of the Dongwu Navy, the magistrate of Xihai county had already begun to migrate to Ju county. When the Dongwu Navy arrived, a few of the local low-level soldiers fled without fighting.
The 600000 guards who had been assembled in Xuchang had to withdraw to Langya state one after another, interfering with Chutian's plan to capture Nanyang County.
"At the end of the spring and Autumn period, the state of Wu attacked Qi, and the two sides had already fought at sea. Tongque wanted to imitate the war between the state of Wu and the state of Qi, attacking Xuzhou and Qingzhou from the sea, forcing us to return to defend and give up attacking Jingzhou. It's all about the same as your judgment a few days ago. "
After the disappearance of Jiangdong Navy, Jiangdong Navy had several possible attack sites.
Chu Tian, Xia Tianliang, Sun Bin and others had imagined that Jiangdong navy would attack Xuzhou. However, when Tongque really attacked Xuzhou and Qingzhou across the sea, Chutian was still shocked by his great efforts.
The bronze finch now has courage different from Sun Quan in history.
The attack of the bronze sparrow opened and closed, swallowing Qingzhou and Xuzhou.
"In the Koryo battlefield, Marshall of the United States sent the fire dragon army, and shogunate general Yoshida sent Shimadzu family and Lihua family to support Li Chenggui, king of Korea. Gao Li's counterattack may be extremely fierce. "
Not only did Jiangdong Navy cross the sea to attack Xuzhou, but the war of Gao Liguo fell into a stalemate after the initial devastation.
"Our understanding of the United States is limited. It seems that we need to buy a group of players from the United States to get the information we want. They may be powerful enemies in the future."
Chu Tian heard about the fire dragon army for the first time.
In other civilized areas, Chutian can also know their strength through the hero ranking list.
However, there are no historical heroes in the American civilization area. They only have powerful arms. Therefore, Chu Tian is also unpredictable about the strength of the American civilization area.
The United States has set up fire dragon, Griffin, Crusader and other legions, of which the fire dragon army is mainly composed of dragon cavalry.
Lihuadaoxue and Shimadzu Yihong are good generals. Japanese samurai have the characteristics of Bushido, so their fighting power is not weak, at least stronger than the soldiers of Gaoli.
Chutian didn't take it for granted that Dalton was captured in the Gaoli battlefield, because his life and death were not important and would not affect the overall situation.
The injured Xu Sheng was transferred back to Qingzhou by Chutian.
"He ordered Leyi to capture Xijing as soon as possible, occupy the northern territory of Gaoli, and confront Li Chenggui."
Because of the strong intervention of the United States and the Japanese shogunate, Chu Tian could not kill Li Chenggui for a while, so he retreated to occupy the northern part of Gaoli and divided it into two parts.
The premise of occupying half of Gaoli is that Leyi can capture Xijing of Gaoli as soon as possible and take Xijing as the garrison of Liaodong army in Gaoli.
The United Army, composed of Li Chenggui, Brandt, lihuadaoxue and Shimadzu Yihong, has begun to support the Xijing garrison general Jiang HANZAN.
The uprising broke out in Yizhou city of Gaoli state and the mountain city near Anzhou City, and Leyi's retreat was unstable.
So Chu Tian ordered one after another: "let Li Mu's desert south army and huo'an's desert north army go to Gaoli to support Leyi."
Almost all the legions set up by Chu Tian were sent out to suppress all the powerful enemies.
Chu Tian's 600000 guards were divided into two ways. One was to support Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and the other was to stay in the Central Plains to attack Nanyang County with Wuqi.
The fire in bowangpo disappeared, and the army of Wu Qi, Wei Wuji and Cao Ren marched southward to Wancheng.
The reinforcements of Xinye, Xiangyang and Jiangxia also took Wancheng as the target and supported Wancheng in a large scale.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses entering Nanyang County one after another!
When Chu Tian left, Wu Qi was called in: "the battle of Nanyang County will be left to you. Take Wancheng and Xinye in half a year, and then go to Xiacheng to kill me."
