Chapter 172： Snowy Night Attacks Lingcheng
"On the opposite side is Wu Sangui's army. I have to say that Wu Sangui has a good line of troops."
Zhou Yafu followed Chutian to the Yi River to observe Wu Sangui's army.
As a military adviser, Fang Xuanling is also observing the other side: "Wu Sangui’s 30,000 soldiers and horses were originally the Taishan thieves under the command of Changyu. If they were recruited in the name of Zangba and Sun Guan, even if they did not surrender, the military would So shake."
"The heart attack is the top, the attack is the bottom. You can set up a pontoon to cross the river and attack, so that Zang Ba and Sun Guan are the pioneers. If you encounter the Taishan thief on the opposite side, you can let them persuade them to surrender.
Chu Tian quickly understood what Fang Xuanling meant.
After a period of running-in between the two people, Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling gradually came together.
"But wait for the right time."
Chutian was not in a hurry to attack Wu Sangui, as long as he wanted, he could force Taishan thief to lay a pontoon to cross the river overnight.
Taishan thief is similar to the Yellow Turban army. They are all cannon fodder that does not need to pay salaries. They also bear the hard work. The true elite troops will only come in handy at critical moments.
At this time, Yi Li was singled out with Xue Rengui, but was easily defeated by Xue Rengui and fell into the snow.
"So much strength, I lost."
Yili had to admit that Xue Rengui's force was far superior to him.
Chutian saw Yin Li take the initiative to ask Xue Rengui to single out. Isn't it uncomfortable to find yourself?
Taishan thief, except for the attributes of Zang Ba and Sun Guan, the others are gold-level military generals, at the same level as Zhang Kai and Mi Fang.
They have not yet surrendered to Chu Tian, they want to let them give up their military power, and they have to show absolute force-to defeat Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui was a little restless, Chu Tian gathered 50,000 people, and overwhelmed his more than 30,000 in momentum.
But Chu Tian never crossed the river to attack, but Wu Sangui could not judge Chu Tian's intentions.
"A few of you go to Beihai Country and ask the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou to go south quickly. If Langya Country is unified, the big thing will go away!"
"You wait to go to Jucheng and seek help from Langya's minister Xiao Jian. Now his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, he can't help but save!"
Wu Sangui sent two soldiers to ask for help separately.
The prince Xiao Jian of Ju County had 20,000 professional soldiers in his hands. He received a letter from Wu Sangui for help asking the opinions of strangers.
The stranger heard that Chu Tian from Xiacheng was calling, and he was silent for a while.
They had never had a confrontation with Chutian, but they were terrified when they knew that Chutian had captured Langya City and defeated the coalition forces in Yuyangdu County.
"Master of the country, we might as well watch the changes."
"Xiacheng Chu Zi seeks to raise the tiger and wolf teacher, and can't fight with it."
"Xiacheng generals Li Guang and Hua Mulan are enemies of 10,000 people. Even if we have 100,000 soldiers, we are not opponents."
The stranger, that is, the players who took refuge in Xiao Jian's babble, most of them preached that Chu Tian was unstoppable, and advised Xiao Jian not to send troops to assist Wu Sangui to avoid burning himself.
Xiao Jian doesn’t know much about Chutian, but Chutian is well-known among the players, the first place in two epic battles, plus the recent occupation of two counties and the defeat of the anti-Chutian alliance is daunting.
If most players are not in a different position, they will not be an enemy of a lord in the limelight.
Xiao Jian heard a group of strangers praising Chu Tian, and was very upset: "You can retreat."
Considering Chutian's threat to Ju County, Xiao Jian decided to send more than 10,000 troops to help Wu Sangui defend Ju County.
Jucheng's soldiers and horses were mobilized, and the stranger found that Xiao Jian was going his own way, and he was disappointed.
Some princes can listen to the advice of strangers, but some princes cannot. If all the princes can listen to persuasion, then there is no stunned king.
"There is no famous general under Xiao Jian, how could he defeat Chu Zimou."
"Now we are over. It took me a year for Lao Tzu to get to the position of the doorman, eating for nothing every day. Now Xiao Jian is seeking his own way, and I don't know who to go to."
"It's better to go to Chu Zimou in Xiacheng. He has two counties, and his power is stronger than Xiao Jian. As the first lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he is already a small prince."
"His staff is full of talents, and he doesn't recruit diners. It's not easy for us to have a bite of food with him."
"But not necessarily, as long as we have the credit..."
A group of strangers are already seeking a way for themselves. They didn't expect Xiao Jian, who had no reputation in the Three Kingdoms and was defeated by Zang Ba in history, could compete in the Central Plains. I just want to take refuge in him, and I want to be a springboard for promotion in the future.
Xiao Jian led more than 10,000 Juxian soldiers to support Wu Sangui, and dozens of flags were displayed.
"This idiot."
Qi Xiaobai couldn't help but mutter when he heard that Xiao Jian was taking soldiers to reinforce Wu Sangui.
Chutian temporarily handled internal affairs in the camp, and confronted Wu Sangui without delay.
Recently, a large number of refugees have poured into Langya, including players, most of them are from Beihai country.
There are too many Yellow Turbans in the North Sea, and the people do not have a living. The civilians either choose to join the Yellow Turbans or they choose to flee.
For Langya State, which is adjacent to Beihai State, this is a good opportunity to absorb the population of Qingzhou.
According to a report by Fang Xuanling, who manages household registration, about 20,000 refugees from the Beihai Kingdom in the territory under Chutian's rule recently. Chutian placed all of them outside Xiacheng City and slowly digested them.
The population of Xiacheng was originally 50,000. Later, 100,000 people moved to Langya City to enrich Xiacheng. With the addition of 20,000 refugees from Beihai State, a total of 170,000 people made it the second largest city in Chutian territory.
Li Li organized the refugees to reclaim wasteland, build water conservancy projects, and dig drainage channels and sewers.
The city planning is relatively cumbersome, and the scale of Xiacheng has been expanded to the point where more complicated urban sewers are to be excavated, otherwise the plague will soon be rampant.
Fortunately, "Lord" has special open canals, culverts and other architectural drawings, and the construction of urban sewers is also fast.
But it costs money...
The windfall that the Xuzhou family funded to Chu Tian was quickly defeated by Chu Tian.
More of Chutian’s income comes from trophies, land taxes, city taxes, land sales, and the economic construction of the Lord’s Mansion.
"Master, it's snowing."
Xue Rengui, who was acting as a guard outside the military tent, reminded Chutian after it snowed according to Chutian's order.
Chutian put on a cloak and came out of the tent, only to see the sky was gray and heavy snow was flying.
"Taishan thief prepares to lay a pontoon bridge and cross the river to attack Wu Sangui."
Chutian knew that the time for a decisive victory was coming, so he mobilized his army to prepare.
Chutian's army has prepared wood and plank boats in advance.
The ice on the surface of the river is not firm, and the Madu River will collapse for tens of thousands of people. Therefore, only with the help of a pontoon bridge can pass.
Taishan thief was treated as cannon fodder by Chutian, and the chore of building a pontoon certainly fell on them.
"I have to come out to fight in the twelfth lunar month of winter. I really suffer."
Taishan thief carried wooden planks and wooden boats, complaining endlessly, and his fingers were frozen.
Not many people are willing to march in the cold winter.
The scout cavalry arranged by Wu Sangui to patrol the riverside found that the Taishan thief who had been surrendered to Chutian began to build a pontoon. They were shocked and immediately reported to Wu Sangui.
"Send two thousand archers to camp on the shore, and once the pontoon built by the opponent approaches, all arrows will be sent."
Wu Sangui has his own way to deal with the other party’s floating bridge.
With the morale of the Taishan thief on the opposite side, he couldn't bear the rain of arrows shot by a large number of archers, and he would soon collapse because his morale fell to the bottom.
Two thousand archers went out and camped on the opposite side, keeping an eye on the Taishan thief who erected the pontoon.
"We were found by the enemy on the opposite side, do we need to repair the floating bridge?"
The Taishan thief panicked because of the archer who appeared opposite, and asked their leader Yin Li.
Yin Li also asked Chu Tian, the highest figure of the Taishan thief.
"Continue to repair until it is within the range of the opposite bow and arrow."
"Yes."
Although Yin Li didn't understand why Chu Tian suddenly committed to repairing the bridge, the force displayed by Chu Tian forced him to act according to Chu Tian's arrangements.
So the Taishan thief continued to brave the heavy snow to build a bridge over the Yi River.
"Is the person on the other side a fool? I didn't go home to hug my wife and children in the twelfth winter of the winter, and came to the river for a few days without attacking. It was only now that the bridge was repaired and we found out."
The archers sent by Wu Sangui should only be jokes.
Archers are stationed, and the pontoon bridge cannot be repaired at all. This is the danger of mountains and rivers.
As long as the defensive side uses hundreds or thousands of people, it can block an army of 100,000.
Taishan thief also understood this truth, and under the pressure of Chutian, he still had to repair the bridge.
When the pontoon bridge was repaired more than half, after entering the shooting range of the archer on the opposite side, one Taishan thief was shot to death, and the rest were scattered.
Yin Li reported the matter to Chu Tian, and he was considered to have completed the task that Chu Tian gave him.
Chutian only arranged for Yin Li to personally lead his troops to guard the floating bridge that had been repaired more than half, and let him stand still.
Yin Li went in without knowing it, so he agreed to it.
"Mulan has already begun a surprise attack."
Chutian estimated the time. He only gave Hua Mulan one day to forcefully march 60 kilometers on a snowy day, from Chutian’s sphere of influence to Juxian’s sphere of influence, and attack Lingcheng at night.
A black war eagle hovered in the air, with sharp eyes reflecting the empty scene below.
In its eyes, there is a village where hundreds of soldiers are stationed, and there are also Fengsui used to convey military information in the village.
Hua Mulan led 2,100 light cavalry from a village 60 kilometers south of Lingcheng, Ju County, and marched all the way to Lingcheng, with the help of heavy snow to attack Lingcheng, Wu Sangui’s stronghold!
The cavalry traveled 30 kilometers in the snow, and even some horses and soldiers froze to death.
A raid comes at a price.
The war eagle landed on Hua Mulan's arm.
Hua Mulan stroked its wings, and from the call and behavior of the war eagle, it could be judged that there was a village with defenders stationed 5 kilometers ahead.
Wu Sangui was careful, and stationed a garrison in a village near Lingcheng to light a beacon.
Once someone wants to attack Lingcheng, the defenders of Lingcheng can react immediately, causing heavy losses to the attackers.
"Forced march! Annihilate the defenders of the village ahead!"
Hua Mulan ordered that one hundred iron eagle scouts and two thousand light cavalry braved the wind and snow to speed up the march.
Not everyone can do forcibly marching in a harsh environment. It has to do with the types of troops and generals.
If you are a Taishan thief, let alone marching in a harsh environment, even if you walk 30 kilometers normally, your morale will drop long ago, and you will even be mutiny.
But the characteristics of Mulan’s “heroes” can slow down the morale of the troops.
This is why some soldiers are willing to fight for the Lord.
A village 25 kilometers south of Lingcheng. At this time, the defenders had not found Hua Mulan's cavalry approaching.
Muzha was set up in this village, and hundreds of Taishan thieves were deployed. They were originally Changyu's subordinates, but later turned to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui had no time or money to convert the 30,000 Taishan thief into a professional soldier.
The two patrolling Taishan thief were shot by Liu Ya and fell into the snow.
Hua Mulan carried a quiver and a horn bow in hand, and led the dismounted cavalry to attack the village.
Under her command, the dismounted cavalry dispersed and blocked all exits of the village.
The Taishan thief stationed in the village seems to have found something wrong, and the surroundings are too quiet.
A few Taishan thieves opened the wooden door and came out to investigate.
A sharp arrow shot through the throat of one of the bandits!
"There are enemies!"
The bandit yelled immediately, but oncoming a dense arrow rain!
A bandit's wrist was shot through by a sharp arrow, and the arrow's strength was too strong, even nailing his wrist to a wooden fence!
"kill!"
The dismounted cavalry drew the bright Tang sword, swarmed up, and seized the village gate!
The Taishan thief in the village did not expect that the enemy would carry out a surprise attack in a snowy day. They rushed to the battle. They were defeated by Hua Mulan and the cavalry led by her.
The bandit wanted to light a beacon and was hacked with a knife.
Hua Mulan held a Tang knife in her hand and killed four Taishan thieves in a row, one of which even chopped down the opponent's armour.
"General, what should I do with the captured Taishan thief?"
"All killed."
Hua Mulan beheaded all the Taishan thieves in the village to avoid surprise attacks and leaks.
In case Taishan thief confided in the news, this surprise attack would be meaningless and would lead to a long-term stalemate in the war and more deaths and injuries.
Mulan’s cavalry received supplies in this village and took a rest.
There is a roll of maps in her hand, which is an important item provided by Xu Sheng in Ju County.
According to the location of the village, Hua Mulan inferred that her army was still 25 kilometers away from Lingcheng.
The sky is already dark at this time.
Forcibly marching at night is more difficult, and she and her cavalry are facing more severe weather.
The temperature at night will continue to drop The cold cannot be resisted by adding clothes, and the horses can hardly bear the cold.
"Continue to march, you must rush to Lingcheng before dawn, and then capture it!"
Mulan finally decided to complete the surprise attack.
"Why haven't General Li Guang's cavalry keep up?"
Mulan arranged for Li Guangdian as a reinforcement when the surprise attack failed.
In order to wipe out the enemies in this village, she delayed a little time and calculated based on the cavalry marching speed. At this time, Li Guang should have caught up.
However, Hua Mulan spent another half an hour in the village, and still did not see Li Guang.
"General Li Guang won't get lost..."
Hua Mulan can only think of this possibility.
With Li Guang's somewhat reckless character, he doesn't seem to be a person who will face the enemy.
"Forget it, our forces should be able to capture Lingcheng. If you continue to wait, it will delay time."
Li Guang did not show up for a long time, Hua Mulan gave up joining Li Guang, and set off at night with the light cavalry alone, braving the wind, snow and cold, to march quickly towards Lingcheng.
At the rear, Li Guang and Hua Mulan guessed that he was really lost.
There were two fork roads in a village on the way. Due to the heavy snow covering the horseshoe prints of the cavalry in front, and Li Guang’s misjudgment, he and Hua Mulan went in a completely different direction.
Li Guang kept moving forward, but couldn't catch up with Hua Mulan's cavalry. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "I didn't expect Hua Mulan to march so fast. I can't even see her shadow. It's a **** in the world. "
Zhou Yafu followed Chutian to the Yi River to observe Wu Sangui's army.
As a military adviser, Fang Xuanling is also observing the other side: "Wu Sangui’s 30,000 soldiers and horses were originally the Taishan thieves under the command of Changyu. If they were recruited in the name of Zangba and Sun Guan, even if they did not surrender, the military would So shake."
"The heart attack is the top, the attack is the bottom. You can set up a pontoon to cross the river and attack, so that Zang Ba and Sun Guan are the pioneers. If you encounter the Taishan thief on the opposite side, you can let them persuade them to surrender.
