Chapter 293: Forced to fight

   "How could the Lujiang County prefect to fight Jiangnan halfway?"

The prefect of Jiujiang County was delayed by the bronze bird invited by Chutian, and the bronze bird led the Beifu army to the south of the Yangtze River and abandoned the easy-to-defend and hard-to-attack Shouchun City.

He once again confirmed that this was not a trick of the bronze bird, so he was relieved.

Bronze's Northern Army brought him a great threat.

The army of the Northern Army is like a cloud, and the soldiers are brave and good at fighting. They are good at water warfare and land warfare at the same time, and they can run wild in the Huainan area.

Tongque’s strategic direction changed, creating an opportunity for the Jiujiang County prefect to attack Xuzhou.

"There are 30,000 Chen Yuanlong defending in Guangling County. The water nets are densely covered with swamps and it is difficult to march. It is better to turn to attack Pi, perhaps you can win."

Guo Jia followed the Jiujiang prefect to Shouchun, and proposed to attack Xiapi instead of Guangling.

Chen Deng's defense of Guangling County makes people unable to attack.

"Yuan Shu has repeatedly urged me to attack Xuzhou, and now the threat posed by the bronze bird has been lifted. Tens of thousands of troops can be recruited to attack Xiapi. Only the state minister Li Tiao and 10,000 soldiers and horses are the only ones in Xiapi. Three days later, the whole army will be rectified and set off! "

Jiujiang Prefect was determined to attack Xiapi.

Chen Qingzhi is not good at riding horses, but he still learned horse riding skills and led the seven hundred white robe army to follow the large army. Although this white robe army is a light cavalry, it is a very rare Tier 7 light cavalry. Generally, arms of rank 7 and above are heavy-armored infantry or heavy cavalry. As light cavalry, they can become rank 7 arms.

Xia Picheng, Li Di learned that Jiujiang County soldiers and horses cooperated with Yuan Shu to attack Xia Picheng, immediately reinforced the city defense, and quickly recruited soldiers.

Chutian sent Li Li to guard Xiapi, and how much he trusted Li Li’s ability.

"This time the Jiujiang Prefect has an elite division, called the White-robed Army, who is brave and good at fighting. They can only defend the city and not fight with them."

Li Miao guards Xiapi, focusing on defense. As long as they don't encounter the white-robed army outside the city, it is not easy for the white-robed army to capture Xiapi.

"There is no need to defend, we go out of town to fight."

A voice sounded, and Li Li reflexively stood up: "Lord."

Chutian brought two heroes, Joan of Arc and Zheng Zhilong, to use the teleportation array to come to Xiapi, and saw Li Li who was defending Xiapi.

Li Li said: "Since the lord can withdraw, it means that Taishan County has been taken, congratulations to the lord."

"There should be a lot of talents in the Xia Pi country. When governing the Xia Pi country, in addition to reclaiming farmland and prospering the market, we should also pay attention to the arrest of talents."

Chutian faced Jiujiang soldiers and horses attacking, but was not worried, but instructed Li Li to continue to govern the Pi Kingdom with peace of mind. As for the Jiujiang soldiers and horses, they can be handed over to Chutian who specializes in fighting.

Li Di replied: "There are indeed many powerful people in the Xiapi country. There are powerful people named Lu in the southernmost Dongcheng County, and his subordinates are going to recruit them. Unexpectedly, Jiujiang soldiers will attack, so this matter has to be put aside for now."

Lu surname...

Is it Lu Su?

Chutian secretly remembered. It seems that Lu Su and Zhou Yu haven't established a relationship yet, and they can dig Lu Su over.

As for Zhou Yu in Lujiang County, Chu Tian did not believe that the Lujiang Prefect Tongjae would let Zhou Yu go. Tongjae chose to develop in Lujiang County, and it was very likely that he would grab Zhou Yu.

Once Tongque had the Beifu Army and Zhou Yu, he was almost invincible in water battles.

"Always pay attention to the movements of the soldiers and horses of Jiujiang County, as long as the soldiers and horses of Jiujiang County arrive, we will go out of the city to fight."

Chu Tian called 9,000 soldiers from the Five Schools of the Northern Army and 4,000 cavalrymen from the Servant Army. They were sent from Taishan County to Xiapi Country, costing a total of 65,000 taels of silver.

Although the amount of silver consumed is staggering, it can save a lot of marching time. The food and grass consumed during the march is also amazing, so the cost of using the teleportation array is acceptable.

"The lord ordered us to go down the river and call the five thousand women's army to go south to Piguo, leaving only a thousand women's army and Xiacheng's city defense forces to defend the city."

Xia Liang Liang, Li Xiuning received Chutian's order, led the five thousand women's army, mobilized the Yihe navy division, can reach Xiapi within a few days, without using the teleportation array...

The forces of both sides began to build up centered on the lower side.

……

Dongcheng County, a manor with a population of thousands, hundreds of villagers and several granaries. Because the Lu family gathered the surrounding villagers and villagers to protect the environment and the people, the manor suffered little damage by the bandits, which is comparable to a paradise. There are countless similar manors in troubled times. In the troubled times, there is no government to rely on, so the villagers have to rely on the powerful and protect themselves under the armed forces of the powerful.

"My son, I heard that Xiapi City is recruiting soldiers and horses, and seems to be fighting with the Jiujiang prefect. These years, the army is in chaos, which is really disturbing."

A servant came to see their son.

Lu Su, who was only seventeen years old, was practicing his courage. When he heard the news, he thought for a moment: "Xuzhou Mu is at war with the princes of the Quartet and has no time to divide the troops. It is icing on the cake, it is better to send charcoal in the snow. I will wait to help. If I help defend the city, maybe It can be reused by Xuzhou Muzhi."

Xuzhou Mu Chuzi sought to become famous. Lu Su, who had not yet become famous at this time, tried to recommend himself to Xuzhou Mu, instead of Chu Tian bowing his head to beg him.

The princes are looking for suitable subordinates, and the gentry of various counties are also looking for suitable princes to invest. Once the investment is correct, it can be cracked and sealed and the lintel can be glorious. This so-called good bird chooses wood and dwells.

Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou issued a decree for seeking talents, and Chu Zimou's family background has become one of the priority targets of the nobility of every county.

"The son, behind the prefect of Jiujiang is Yuan Gongdao. His influence spreads to Yuzhou, Huainan, Nanyang and other places. If the son supports Xuzhou Mu, he might anger Yuan Gongdao."

"Yuan Highway is nothing but withered bones in the mound. It is not to be afraid. I personally think that Xuzhou Mu is better. No, it is ten. If it can be reused by Xuzhou Mu, our Dongcheng Lu Jiake will have nothing to worry about for the tenth generation. I have decided. If there is courage to come with me in the manor, naturally it is best, if not, don’t force it."

Lu Su put down the book and weighed the shield at the same time, planning to fight on the army.

Seeing Lu Su's determination, the servant had no choice but to continue.

They, the young man, didn't take care of the family affairs at all. Instead, they spent money from justice and bought weapons and shields to equip the villagers. If this continues, the huge family will be ruined.

Lu Su has always been kind to the villagers. I heard that Lu Su was going to support Xuzhou herd. Most of the courage in the manor responded and gathered 700 people and followed Lu Su to Xiapi.

Lu Su met with the support of the elders of the villagers and acquaintances, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You may die in this battle."

Many Xiangyong replied: "In the past, I was favored by the son, but I didn't want to repay it, but I should pay my death!"

Lu Su couldn't help being touched, and resolutely led the seven hundred villages to go north.

North of Langya Country, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun and Zhao Gongzi confronted each other. Xue Rengui tried to send a cavalry to cut off the grain road of Zhao Gongzi, but Zhao Gongzi had long been prepared for this and protected the grain road with more troops.

Beihai Zhao Gongzi, second only to Dongjun Cao Cao among the enemies around Chutian.

Yuan Shu is big but not strong, and Zhao Gongzi is restrained by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and his development speed is suppressed like Cao Cao.

"If I had taken possession of Qingzhou at this time, it would not be so laborious."

Zhao Gongzi currently only has half of Qingzhou.

"General Guan Hai recruited 80,000 Yellow Turbans to come and help!"

"Eighty thousand should be enough."

Gongzi Zhao originally planned to recruit one hundred thousand Yellow Turban Army to make up the number temporarily. Guan Hai only recruited 80,000 Yellow Turban Army. In the final analysis, a lot of people in Beihai were looted.

The few remaining yellow turban generals, Guan Hai, led a 60,000 yellow turban army, appeared under Zhucheng, with yellow turbans all over the city!

"80,000 Yellow Turbans were used to attack the city, and 70,000 professional soldiers forced the opposing cavalry to a decisive battle."

Young Master Zhao gathered 150,000 people in Zhucheng, and only professional soldiers gathered 70,000 people. His tactics were very simple. He attacked the city all the way and expelled Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's white robe army. The White Robe Corps currently has less than 25,000 cavalry. Facing the multi-arms Corps of Zhao Gongzi, it has not attacked easily.

"There are more and more enemies..."

Zangba and Sun Guan were on the city wall and saw the dense yellow turban army. There were not many defenders in their city, and it was really tough to face the 80,000 Yellow Turbans.

Guanhai is not an ordinary military commander, but a strong general in the Yellow Turban Army.

Facing the crowded Yellow Turban Army, Sun Guan had an intention to retreat: "It is clear that Young Master Zhao intends to use the Yellow Turban Army as cannon fodder to forcibly capture this city. If we can't defend it, we should be prepared to retreat. We have already defended this city. Long enough."

"It's just a group of Yellow Turbans, so why not be afraid!"

Zangba is not afraid of the Yellow Turban Army, but his fighting spirit is even more vigorous.

After Zhao Gongzi assembled enough troops, 70,000 professional soldiers pushed forward. Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun retreated four miles to avoid Zhao Gongzi's army.

The Yellow Turban Army took the opportunity to surround Zhucheng, preparing siege equipment, and forcibly attacking Zhucheng.

The Yellow Turban Army originally lacked siege equipment, but when Taishici attacked Zhucheng before, Taishici had urged many craftsmen to build a batch of siege equipment.

The 80,000 Yellow Turban Army has sufficient manpower to control this batch of siege equipment.

Hundreds of trebuchets were ready, and the Yellow Turban army collected enough stones from the nearby hills to attack the city defended by Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

If it is just a simple Yellow Turban Army, it may be nothing to tell, but the Yellow Turban Army becomes a powerful hole card in the hands of Young Master Zhao.

After busy preparations, the Yellow Turban Army has hundreds of trebuchets projecting stones towards Zhucheng, and more than 20 kilograms of stones screamed, destroying battlements, gate towers, and arrow towers!

The double-bow Chuangzi crossbow was also used by the Yellow Turban army to siege the city. A intensive crossbow arrow was fired.

The few defenders in the city hurriedly dodge the stones and crossbow arrows. Even if the shield is hit by the stones, it will knock down the soldiers hiding behind the shield!

An unbiased battlement was destroyed by a stone, and the soldier leaning against the wall was wounded by the gravel and fell to the ground with painful wailing!

"Bring him down!"

Zangba urged the soldiers to brave the opponent's trebuchet to rescue the wounded. The Yellow Turban Army with a large number of siege equipment posed a greater threat than the previous Yellow Turban Army!

"The Yellow Turban Army has attacked the city!"

When the defenders were suppressed by trebuchets and bed crossbows, the Yellow Turban archers approached the city wall under the cover of their carts. The archer defending the city fired at the attacking Yellow Turban army. The arrow fell on the leather cart, unable to kill the Yellow Turban archer.

When the Yellow Turban Archers arrived at the city, they appeared from the back of the cart and fired at the defenders of the city wall.

"Use a crossbow!"

Zangba and Sun Guan placed many double-bow bed crossbows in this city in order to defend this city.

The soldier with a sledgehammer hit the bed crossbow, and the thick crossbow arrows shot out. The Yellow Turban army was as weak as paper, penetrated by the crossbow arrows, and nailed to the ground!

However, for the 80,000 Yellow Turban Army, the casualties were almost negligible.

"You can't stop my 80,000 people!"

The Yellow Turban Army commander Guan Hai, who was incorporated, carried a large sword and commanded the 80,000 Yellow Turban Army to attack the city.

The advantage of the Yellow Turban Army lies in its number, and changes in quantity will lead to qualitative changes!

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun could hear the shouts of killing. They were threatened by Young Master Zhao and had to save Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

Zangba and Sun Guan have been defending the city for a long time, and the materials used to defend the city have been exhausted. If they do not escape the siege, the cities are lost and Ju County and Kaiyang County are difficult to defend.

"It seems that we can only fight decisively with Zhao Gongzi. I don't know if we can win. Our forces are at a disadvantage and there is no infantry and archers to support."

"Zhucheng had to save, so he could only risk a gamble."

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun discussed briefly, and finally decided to take a risk.

Young Master Zhao can survive the catastrophe of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and occupy half of Qingzhou. His ability is definitely not weak, and he can force Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun to fight decisively, which is the embodiment of his ability.

"Two generals, the war eagles of General Hua Mulan!"

A white horse pointed from the cavalry into the air, and saw a black war eagle hovering in the air.

"Our reinforcements must arrive soon, and we can fight against Zhao Gongzi!"

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun know that war eagles often accompany Hua Mulan’s iron eagle scouts. Once the war eagles appear, then the iron eagle scouts cavalry and a larger army will be coming soon that is, they can now be with Zhao Gongzi. Fight to the death.

The war eagle landed on Xue Rengui's war horse, and the paws of the war eagle were still tied to a copper pipe with a piece of paper inside.

More than 20,000 cavalry continued to retreat two miles backwards, and finally had to start a formation and make a forced challenge posture.

The son of Zhao, with Dorgon, Wu Sangui, Tai Shici, and Xue Wanche as generals, deployed 70,000 troops.

"Chu Zimou has already occupied Taishan County and can only defeat Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun as soon as possible."

Gongzi Zhao placed the infantry in the center, the cavalry lined up on the left and right wings, and the Eight Banners cavalry and Guanning cavalry on one side.

Young Master Zhao personally commanded the infantry, Tai Shici commanded the archers, and Xue Wanche commanded some of the cavalry as the reserve team.

There are only Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun on the opposite side. As long as the 70,000 army regards death as home and initiates a charge, Zhao Gongzi believes that the opponent's cavalry will soon be destroyed.

The cavalry lacking the cover of infantry and archers makes it difficult to exert its power in the surrounding hilly terrain.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun had to fight a decisive battle, and the balance of the war fell to Zhao Gongzi's side.

"Chu Zimou, sorry, in the Central Plains competition, only one person can succeed, we have no choice."

Young Master Zhao pulled out the saber around his waist and pointed it at Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's cavalry: "The whole army attacked and crushed the enemy!"
