Chapter 228: Preparation for the decisive battle

  "A infantry archer of about 20,000 appeared in Jiqiu County, suspected to go to meet Yang Wudi!"

Guardian Wu Dun who is stationed in Jiqiu County always pays attention to the movement of the Xuzhou Allied Forces in the south.

The opposing commander Xiang Yan sent 20,000 infantry archers to meet Yang Ye to prevent Yang Ye from being annihilated.

Facts proved that Xiang Yan's judgment was correct. Yang Ye was besieged by the main cavalry of Langya, losing three thousand cavalry, and retreating in battle.

There are too many generals of the opponent, and they occupy the advantage of vision. Yang Ye's every move seems to be under the surveillance of the opponent.

Yang Ye is not so easy to be captured, and the only Hua Mulan who fought him for a round in the chaos did not have the advantage.

Yang Ye didn't choose to entangle too much with the opponent's generals, relying on his strength to break through all the way, although several generals were surrounded, it was difficult to completely destroy Yang Ye's cavalry.

"The enemy's reinforcements are approaching, the number may be more than 10,000, and the arms are unknown. Stop the pursuit!"

Hua Mulan’s war eagle noticed Xiang Yan’s reinforcements, and Hua Mulan immediately notified the three armies.

The intelligence that the war eagle can provide is limited, but it is enough to make simple decisions!

Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, and Li Guang stopped chasing.

Sure enough, 20,000 infantry archers sent by Xiang Yan appeared at the end of the plain to meet Yang Ye who was being hunted.

Yang Ye received reinforcements and was able to reorganize the broken soldiers and horses, and even lost 3,000 cavalry.

"The strength of Langya country is hard to match. Fortunately, Langya country has only Wanqi, and the result is still unknown."

Yang Ye confronted the generals of Langya for the first time, and was impressed by the strength of Langya.

Langya can rely on one county to contend with the remaining four counties of Xuzhou, which is not without reason.

The two sides confronted each other in Jiqiu County. Yang Ye's morale was frustrated, and he still had difficulty launching an attack with 20,000 infantry archers, so he slowly retreated.

After Yang Ye withdrew, Xue Rengui, Li Guang, Hua Mulan, and Zhao Yun also returned to Xiacheng.

When the two sides confronted for the first time, Yang Ye suffered a small loss, but the problem was not serious. The three thousand cavalrymen were only one-tenth of the cavalry strength of the Xuzhou Allied Forces. Yang Ye also killed hundreds of cavalrymen in Langya, including Yang Ye. A high-ranking cavalry who stabbed to death with a spear.

"Yang Ye didn't lose his reputation as invincible. He went deep into our country of Langya and was chased by the four generals. He can still retreat safely."

Waiting for Hua Mulan and others to come back and report that Yang Ye had no results. In addition to admiring Yang Ye, Chu Tian didn't mean to blame the generals.

The opponent has a famous player, which is not the most difficult thing. The most troublesome thing is that the opponent has famous generals and strength advantages, which makes Chu Tian very uncomfortable.

Yang Ye lost three thousand cavalry, so he can easily replenish it.

"Since Yang Ye took the initiative to invade Xiacheng and test our strength, it means that they are almost ready for a decisive battle."

From the actions of Yang Ye and the intelligence probed by the scouts, Chutian probably inferred that the Xuzhou Allied Forces had been assembled.

He must also make arrangements for a decisive battle.

During a cool summer vacation, I am planting flowers and plants in my garden to tidy up the garden in an orderly manner.

"The lord convenes a military meeting and invites Miss Xia to attend the meeting."

The soldiers from the Lord’s Mansion came to report.

"I want to participate too?"

"The lord has said that talented people must attend the meeting and try their best to win Xuzhou."

"I'll go right away."

Chutian held a secret meeting in the Lord’s Mansion to prepare for the deployment of the decisive battle in Xuzhou.

This time I went south to attack Xuzhou in order to annex the four prefectures of Xuzhou and expand the territory of Langya country by four times!

It's about the fight for the position of state and animal husbandry. Chu Tian tried his best to mobilize all the talents in order to increase the winning rate as much as possible.

The incident of Yang Wudi's entry into the bandits made Chutian realize that the opponent has a military advantage, and when the two sides confront each other, the military advantage may offset his own military advantage.

The so-called double fist is hard to beat four hands.

As long as the opponent's main commander does not make a faint move, and fights steadily, the strength of the army will be displayed to the fullest.

Almost all the senior leaders of Langya country have been summoned, and Xueyue, as the lord of the city, has also been summoned again. She is responsible for contacting free players in Xuzhou and obtaining information about the Xuzhou coalition through them. These players can be said to be spies.

Xueyue felt helpless for being called up to fight again.

Chutian, Xiaxialiang, and Xueyue wanted to farm well, the other wanted to make money, and the other wanted to be the lord of the city. As a result, the enemy attacked Langya country again and again, and they had to fight.

"Prince Zhao of the North Sea State started to attack Jimo. He has no time to interfere in the internal struggle of Xuzhou, and I have no time to intervene in the North Sea State. Therefore, I have reached an alliance agreement with him. The troops in the north can be appropriately reduced and the main troops can be concentrated in the south. Zang Ba and Sun Guan led the troops to the south, and Sun Kang went to the north to take over defense, with five thousand troops."

"Xueyue moves to defend Ju County. It is responsible for providing players' intelligence, and at the same time, it is responsible for transporting food, weapons, and recruits from the north and central to the south without participating in the frontline battle."

"The cities and towns continue to recruit troops to make up for the losses on the front line at any time."

"Xia Liang Liang, Li Xiuning is responsible for defending Xiacheng, with a strength of 5,000 Women's Army, 5,000 New Army and 10,000 Xiangyong."

"Liu Sandao is responsible for defending Langya City, with a strength of 5,000, and he is also dominated by recruits."

Chutian took the lead in considering the selection of the guardians.

The defense of Xiacheng is the top priority, because Chutian concentrates almost all of its surplus food and weapons in Xiacheng. Once Xiacheng falls, it will be a fatal blow to the frontline army.

The Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's black nest, where he stocked grain and grass, was burned down by Cao Cao, causing Yuan Shao's army to be in chaos.

Xia Xia Liang answered clearly: "The subordinates must guard Xiacheng with General Li!"

"Then the offensive route and candidates. The main battlefield is in Tancheng, the plains around Qiu County. The first stage of the combat goal is to destroy the main force of the Xuzhou Allied Forces and attack Tancheng."

"The objective of the second stage of combat is to besie Xiapi, flood Xiapi, and capture Tao Qian alive."

"In the third stage, separate troops to pacify the East China Sea and the Xiapi Kingdom, and attack Pengcheng Kingdom and Guangling County, then Xuzhou can start."

"Zhou Yafu, the governor's main infantry, Li Guang, the governor's main longbowman, as the Chinese army. A total of 30,000."

"Governor Zhao Yun has 1,500 white horse cavalry as the white horse reserve, and Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui each lead 4,000 cavalry as the left and right wings."

"Hua Xiong led 1,000 heavy cavalry, Zang Ba led 5,000 archers, Sun Guan led 3,000 archers, Master Lu and I personally led 7,000 archers to serve as the main reserve team."

"Fang Xuanling supervised the siege equipment camp and transported the siege equipment to the bottom of Tancheng."

"Xu Sheng led the Ten Thousand Marine Division Battalion to fight for control of the Yihe River, transport grain through the waterway, and prevent the enemy from cutting off the grain channel."

Chutian made deployments one by one. In order to go all out, he even went into battle himself.

Now Chutian’s panel is no less than a gold-level historical military commander.

Chutian also has the fanatical belief effect of "great wise and mentor", which can make soldiers more powerful in a short time.

This is the most luxurious lineup that Chutian can produce so far.

Chutian couldn’t divide his troops, because Langya’s military strength was only that small. It’s no doubt the most labor-saving, attacking southward along the river, condescending. In addition...

"The Mi family is willing to help us fight for Xuzhou."

Chutian threw an important message.

Chutian's forces have already touched the hometown of Mi's family.

Whether it was the last battle of Langya Kingdom, the current threat to Mi's hometown, and the prestige of Chutian IV and San Gong, all have become the favorable conditions for Mi's family to fall to Chutian.

The support of the    family is very important for Chutian to seize and stabilize Xuzhou.

Chutian is more like an outsider to them, and if they want to quickly stabilize Xuzhou, they cannot do without the local family.

As for how to weaken the influence of the family, that's something for the future.

Fang Xuanling asked, "What is the attitude of other families?"

"Other families are still waiting and watching. If we win, they will fall to our side. If we fail, they have no loss. They are just a bunch of clowns, but it has nothing to do with them personally, but the background of their family determines that they will be like this. do."

Chutian has dealt with the Xuzhou family a lot, and he knows the urination of the family. After all, they are for their own benefit.

They will follow you if they have benefits, but they will be abandoned if they don’t.

Moreover, the aristocratic family is in the right and left among the princes. Whoever has occupied Xuzhou must make friends with them, and they will never lose.

The Mi family can decide to stand in line before the decisive battle, which is already regarded as a family that supports Chutian.

Mi's adventure brought rewards.

Once Chu Tian takes over Xuzhou, there will be a huge reward for the Mi family.

If Chutian fails, the Mi family may be suppressed by Tao Qian.

"Tao Qian has a Danyang soldier from Yangzhou in his hand, which is a special unit."

Chutian deploys his own forces, but also considers Tao Qian's forces.

There are not many special arms of the Xuzhou Allied Forces. Among them, the Danyang soldiers that Tao Qian brought from Yangzhou are special arms. They are brave and good at fighting. Tao Qian always holds them in his hands and uses them to suppress major families.

"The main general is Xiang Yan, who may be good at defense."

"Their heavy cavalry number is about 1,500, and they can use the heavy infantry's spear and shield phalanx, plus the piercing and heavy arrows of the Archer Battalion."

"The number of cavalry is about 30,000, the navy is 20,000, and the remaining 100,000 are pawns."

Chutian and the others deduced, it is estimated that the opponent will focus on defense.

"If the opponent is trapped in Tancheng, and another army is stationed outside the city, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to divide the forces and simultaneously besiege and respond to the enemy."

Lu Zhi, who was invited by Chutian to participate in the meeting, expressed his concerns.

"So we should provoke Tao Qian as much as possible and invite him to a decisive battle on the plain. If he agrees, it is best, otherwise, the navy can be used to defeat Tao Qian's navy, and then cut off his food channel, threaten to go down, and force Tao Qian to fight. I think The food for the 200,000 army will be a big problem. Without the four counties to transport food, they will collapse if they can’t support it for a few months just with the food in Tancheng.”

Chutian made the same preparations as Zhao Gongzi's siege of Jimo.

If the opponent's main force is shrouded in a solid city, it will remain under siege until the opponent runs out of food.

The more troops assemble in Tancheng, the more food it consumes. With 200,000 horses, the food consumed every day will be an astonishing number.

Langya country’s food relies on Yihe River transportation, even if the rear is attacked by the opposing cavalry, it will not affect the food supply of Langya country’s army.

Therefore, it is very important to compete for the Yihe River.

"Let Xu Sheng defeat the opponent's navy as soon as possible."

Chutian intends to send Xu Sheng to win the first victory, defeat Tao Qian's Yihe navy, and gain control of Yihe.

"The final general requested to play!"

Zhao Yun volunteered to participate in the battle of the navy.

"The archery of the end may be useful."

Li Guang also asked for a fight at the same time.

They are not good at water warfare, but it does not mean that they cannot participate in the battle, but their attributes will decrease.

In the navy battle, the fierce general can still play an important role.

"Xue Li, Zhao Yun, and Li Guang, the three of you assisted General Xu Sheng, defeated Tao Qian navy, and achieved the first merit for our country of Langya."

"Yes!"

Chutian appointed Xu Sheng as the commander of the navy.

Even if Xue Li, Zhao Yun, and Li Guang are more powerful than Xu Sheng, they are really not Xu Sheng’s opponents when commanding the navy.

In addition, Sun Liuwan, deputy navy general, was also sent by Chu Tian...

Sun 60,000 is not strong, but he has won a lot of military exploits last time, and he is a normal general with good luck.

Xue Li, Zhao Yun, and Li Guang also have the bonus of the "Three British Battle of Lu Bu", which can shock the enemy's morale and make the enemy frightened.

The three people immediately went to Liangshan Town, while the others were waiting to go out and mobilize their troops.

After the navy controlled the Yihe River and ensured that the grain road was not in danger, Langya's army could descend along the Yihe River and attack Tancheng.

"Raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while. Our Langya naval division has not made great contributions until now. This time, we are the main force."

Xu Sheng summoned ten thousand naval battalions and sailors to prepare for the southern expedition.

This ten thousand navy division is now the main force to conquer the Yi River, but in the future it will be the navy foundation for the Yangtze River, the Yellow Sea, and the South China Sea!

Xue Li, Zhao Yun, and Li Guang came, and they each took a stern warship. On board there was a team of Tier 4 Soochow navy infantry archers. They used them to get close to the opponent's warship.

Fierce generals can only stare openly in the water battle, unless they take a hand-to-hand fight, they can exert their strength at six to seventy percent.

Xu Sheng came to the largest warship, he had to personally take command: "Our greatest advantage is to go down the river."

Xiapi City, because Cao Bao, who was incompetent in commanding the land soldiers and horses, was transferred by Tao Qian to replace Mi Fang to command the navy to transport the food from Xiapi City to Tancheng on the front line.

In addition to troops, the battlefield also has population and supplies.

Cao Bao brought 20,000 people, and Wang Lang as a military division.

The combination of two people escorted food, and they moved up the current slowly.

After they left, the spies in Xiapi City had already informed Xiacheng.

Xiacheng tells Liangshan Town.

Thirty warships, 60 warships, sentry ships that piled up straw and kerosene that were moored in Liangshan Town left at night, mighty, descending down the river to stop Cao Bao and Wang Lang’s navy. .

Yang Ye returned to the coalition camp and informed Xiang Yan of his fight against Langya's cavalry, so that he knew the strength of Langya.

This action by Yang Ye is also a temptation.

Xiang Yan finished listening and said: "I am sure of the strength of Langya's cavalry. We will join forces in the next battle, and it is 80% likely to win."
