Chapter 373: Fortune-telling Sun Bin

Latest website: "Xiacheng has become a large city, and land prices have risen again!"

The players in Xiacheng were ecstatic when they discovered that Xiacheng was upgraded to a large city. Many of them lived in Xiacheng. The more prosperous Xiacheng, the higher the land price, and their property will also increase in value.

In addition to issuing recruitment orders on a daily basis, the Lord’s Mansion is also preparing for the fourth imperial examination. Like the previous imperial examinations, the fourth imperial examinations are also divided into literary and martial arts, recruiting talents from all over the world.

For management education, Chutian used the nine-level cultural building "Tai Xue" to set up a special Tai Xue institution. The Imperial College is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Academy, which is responsible for training officials; the Department of Education and Culture is responsible for the jurisdiction of the county schools; the Department of Imperial Examinations is responsible for the management of imperial examination matters...

The Imperial Examination Department began preparations for the imperial examination very early. Because the scope of the fourth imperial examination examination covers nearly 20 counties and countries, there are many talents. There may be more than 100,000 people, even hundreds of thousands, and millions of people participating in the imperial examination. Most of them are trying their luck. , Increasing the burden of the imperial examination department.

The imperial examination department posted notices in all counties announcing that the imperial examinations will continue in June this year.

Recruitment orders may miss special talents. After all, civilians who think they are talents come to the Lord’s Mansion every day to try their luck.

"Martial arts?"

Peiguo, a woman who saw the martial arts notice was somewhat eager to try.

"The literary judging distinguishes clearly the characters, the clear method, the clear calculation, the Mingshi, the Mingnong, the Mingde... this literary ju is too difficult."

Lu Guo, a literati holds the imperial examination textbooks he bought. He thought that the imperial examinations in the Lord’s Mansion were too difficult, not only to be literate, but also to understand the law, arithmetic, economy, agriculture, and ethics.

The imperial examination is under preparation and will not start until June.

During this period, a large number of troops were assembled in Jibei, preparing to attack Qingzhou.

Chu Tian found that he could not farm well, so he could only choose to farm while fighting. The front is fighting to death, while the rear is slowly farming.

Starting from Jibei this time, the regiments attacking Jinan were three infantry regiments: Offensive, Tiebi, and Qingzhou, two cavalry regiments, Super Speed ​​and Invincible, and Guards Corps.

"Yu Jin and Li Dian led the Qingzhou Army as the vanguard, and led the trial to enter Jinan."

Chutian deployed the Qingzhou Army as a cannon fodder as the vanguard of the attack on Jinan.

Chu Tian learned that Tian Qi had recently hired a counselor. There have been a lot of advisers and ministers who have emerged recently, such as Sun Bin, Chen Ping, Fan Wencheng, Li Si and so on.

Some of these counsellors and civil servants came from the recruitment orders obtained in the Battle of Mobei, as well as the generals who wandered around because of the death of the lord, or the generals who were captured.

Chu Tian ordered all the generals to fight steadily, respond to each other, and avoid being calculated by the opponent's counsel. As long as it is stable enough, the chief minister does not doubt that even Sun Bin's counselor can hardly calculate success.

The constitution of the Forbidden Army was 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers and 20,000 low-level arms. At this time, it was not full, only about 10,000. It is suitable to be a marching forward, or as a backstop. Although there are currently only 10,000 people, it is more than enough to be a pioneer.

The border between Jinan and Jibei, just after the Forbidden Army entered Jinan, it was ambushed by the Tian Ji Army sent by the alien prince Tian Qi!

Tian Ji's army marched hurriedly overnight, lying in ambush in dense forest.

Yu Jin wanted to gain exploits in attacking Jinan and consolidate his position as the ten main army commander of the Chutian forces, but was ambushed by Tian Ji and Sun Bin, and used a powerful crossbow to shoot and kill a large number of soldiers in the Forbidden Army!

"Line up, consolidate the army! Retreat slowly!"

Yu Jin saw Qi martial arts and Qingzhou crossbowmen on three sides, trying their best to command the army to retreat to the dense forest on one side, using the woods to block the violent arrow rain from the opponent.

The opponent used a large number of crossbows, and a dense rain of arrows covered the Forbidden Army, just like swarms of locusts during the locust plague, overwhelming the sky!

Qingzhou governor Tian Qi has the ability to produce excellent single crossbows. His troops are well equipped with crossbows and crossbow arrows, using long-range arms to cause considerable losses to the Forbidden Army.

Ten thousand people in the Forbidden Army retreated to the dense forest, which blocked the terrible crossbow offensive of the Tian Ji Army, and at least a thousand people died in the ambush.

"The military teacher ordered me to leave the city suddenly last night, rushing for a hundred miles, and lying in ambush here, I didn't expect that I could get amazing power."

Seeing that the Forbidden Army was suppressed by a crossbow, Tian Ji felt utterly indifferent to Sun Bin, the new army teacher. The army under Tian Ji's own command is not that terrible, but if Tian Ji and Sun Bin cooperate with each other, then the threat will be great.

Although Chu Tian believed that Tian Qi had a counselor, Sun Bin, he greeted the generals who had attacked Jinan in advance. But knowing which generals and counselors the other party has, may not be able to guard against them. Be careful when the other counselor’s order is issued to the generals, the generals’ understanding is different.

Yu Jin never thought that he would be ambushed as soon as he entered Jinan.

Fortunately, as a vanguard force, Yu Jin's role is to protect the main army from marching and attract the enemy's attention.

"It's a pity that our army lacks fierce generals who can lead a full-blown attack. Is it possible that there is not a single warrior in 10,000 people?"

Sun Bin looked at the besieged Yu Forbidden Army Corps. It was still very easy for him to calculate the Forbidden Army. But as a military commander, Tian Ji as the main general, lacking a strong general.

As one of the five good generals, Yu Jin is not so easy to be annihilated. After Yu Jin knew that he had been in an ambush, he huddled in the dense forest and ordered the crossbowmen and Tian Ji's regiment to shoot at each other.

Tian Ji's regiment lacked a strong general to lead the attack on the forbidden troops.

Commanders, fierce generals, and counsellors are essential for a complete army. The commander takes care of the overall situation, and the fierce general, as a sharp knife, can break through the enemy formation at a critical moment!

"Mengshi Gongsunjie, Tian Kaijiang, Gu Yezi, please stand up for Xianden!"

Three military commanders with high martial arts asked Tian Ji and Sun Bin for instructions.

Sun Bin intended to provoke them with words, so he nodded slightly.

Tian Ji understood what Sun Bin meant, and said to the three generals: "I will give you a thousand attacks. I will attack you. You will enter the dense forest from the side, attack the enemy, behead or capture the leader alive."

Sun Bin also urged: "Quick battle and quick decision, otherwise the enemy's reinforcements will soon come."

The three warriors replied: "Yes!"

These three people are all brash men of military force, but they are most suitable for leading a combined attack.

Qi combat is a unit of civilians and rangers in the five capitals of Qi. Qi Guoshang Ranger, Qi Jiji has superb individual combat skills, if they fight alone, they can erupt with powerful combat capabilities. Not only that, but Qi martial arts are used for special military operations and can also play a huge role, such as this time!

A thousand Qi martial arts, led by three warriors, quickly marched through the dense forest. Tian Ji attracted the attention of the Forbidden Army from the front. Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi led Qi martial arts and attacked the flank of the Forbidden Army!

The Qingzhou soldiers encountered an elite, all-round assault, and suffered heavy casualties. Qi martial arts, armed with halberds, short swords, and strong crossbows, fought with Qingzhou soldiers in the dense forest, and the situation suddenly fell. A single attack can even rival two Qingzhou soldiers in a small battle!

"Weak soldier!"

Tian Kaijiang drew the long sword from the abdomen of a Qingzhou soldier and brought out the blood.

"This time, I have done the most!"

Gongsun took over two heads!

"You are not as good as me!"

Gu Yezi killed three Qingzhou soldiers alone!

With their own strength, the three military commanders led the ranger-like martial arts, as if into the land of no one!

Yu Jin had to personally lead his own soldiers to siege and attack Qi, and stabilize his position in the dense forest.

The two sides saw each other in the dense forest, and the three warriors Gongsunjie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi's combined attack on the attack made Yu Jin a little embarrassed.

Li Dian led a team of heavy infantry reinforcements, relying on the woods to build a line of defense, blocking all the martial arts and continuing to break through!

"fast!"

Xia Houyuan and Xu Rong of the Speedy Legion then took over as the forwards of the Yujin Legion. After they learned that they were in the midst of the Forbidden Legion, they used the high-speed mobility of the light cavalry to go forward and support Yujin without stopping!

Xia Houyuan's cavalry is the fastest, driving all the way!

As the fastest general of the Chutian forces, Xia Houyuan's cavalry marched faster than Sun Bin had calculated. However, Sun Bin ambushed a crossbowman on the way. When Xiahouyuan's cavalry passed through the small road, the crossbowman appeared, and the crossbowmen were ready! Dozens of light cavalry hit their arrows, and they turned their backs on their horses. The light cavalry behind them avoided the fallen horses with their superb riding skills!

On horseback, Xia Houyuan rode backwards, shooting an ambush bowman to death!

The crossbowmen didn't expect Xia Houyuan to be so brave, and the arrow had already shot through his forehead!

"Break through the ambush!"

Xia Houyuan used the speed of his cavalry to rush out of the ambush circle of enemy crossbowmen in a rain of arrows!

The arrow feathers scattered on the battlefield and the horses that were shot will let the cavalry behind know that there is an ambush here, so Xia Houyuan does not need to leave the cavalry to inform the troops behind, but continue to go to help the ban.

As a surrender, they want to prove that they have the value of being reused. Therefore, in the battle to pacify Qingzhou, they yearn for military exploits.

At present, the generals of the Cao family and Xiahou family who are not very satisfied with Chu Tian are okay. The non-family generals of Yu Jin, Le Jin, and Zhang Liao are more eager for military exploits. Yu Jin wanted to gain military exploits through a big victory to show that he had the ability to serve as the commander of the army.

But what he encountered was a perverted combination of Tian Ji and Sun Bin. Sun Bin also suggested that Tian Ji ambushed a crossbowman to obstruct the enemy's reinforcements. That's why Xia Houyuan was ambushed.

"Report, the enemy cavalry is found, the enemy cavalry is approaching!"

Tian Ji and Sun Bin dispatched three great warriors Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi to carry out a raid. They had the opportunity to completely wipe out the Forbidden Army and imprison them. However, Xia Houyuan's cavalry is very fast, regardless of the other's ambush, relying on speed to break through the ambush circle set by Tian Ji's division, and quickly approach Tian Ji and Sun Bin!

"Xuzhou Mu's arrangement is also shrewd. There is such a fast cavalry behind the vanguard. If we continue to stay here, we will be attacked by a steady stream of cavalry from behind and then defeated. We should retreat temporarily."

Sun Bin tried to assess the situation, and he was not shaken by the temptation to annihilate ten thousand people in the Forbidden Army. When it's time to retreat, never hesitate.

"God doesn't help me. If we give us two sticks of incense, we can catch the opponent's chief alive."

Tian Ji very much obeyed Sun Bin's suggestion, so Mingjin retreated.

Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi were already stunned. Together, the three of them killed hundreds of Qingzhou soldiers! Coupled with the massive damage done to the Forbidden Army by all the martial arts, there was a chance to wipe out the Forbidden Army in this dense forest!

"Next time you must capture your general alive!"

Tian Kaijiang gained the upper hand, and before retiring, he still did not forget to provoke Ban and Li Dian.

Tian Ji’s army quickly withdrew, and Yu Jin wanted to pursue it, but was stopped by Li Dian: “The Lord has said that the opponent is very likely to have a counselor, Sun Bin. This person has a strategy above the vast majority. The reason why he cannot quickly annihilate us, It’s just because he has limited forces and there are not many choices. If he pursues at this time, we will definitely be defeated."

Yu Jin was a little anxious: "We have already lost the battle. If we didn't make any achievements. The battle of Jinan will end in this way, and it will definitely be despised by the generals. I personally led a small group of Qingzhou soldiers to pursue them, and you led a large army to respond. In this way, Even if I lose the battle, I won’t be defeated miserably. If I can get some results, I’m better off to the main bus."

Yu Jin led a thousand Qingzhou soldiers to follow the rapidly retreating Tian Ji Army. The troops behind the palace that Tian Ji left behind were attacked by the ban, and soon collapsed.

Excited to ban to increase the attack.

Tian Ji's army fled in a rout, and when Yu Jin's troops entered the shooting range of the crossbow, Sun Bin left behind and ambushed the crossbowmen and fired fiercely, leading to Yu Jin's defeat.

In two consecutive confrontations, Yu Jin suffered a big loss under Sun Bin!

A group of cavalry rushed out and wanted to be captured in the ban, but Li Dian, who followed up with them, fought back and saved the ban.

Yu Jin's face was pale. Ever since he emerged, he has encountered a group of abnormal opponents.

In the first battle of Chutian to capture Taishan County, the Forbidden Army was attacked by cavalry forces such as Joan of Arc, Hua Mulan, and Xue Rengui in Taishan County.

Xia Liang ordered the generals to raid Yanzhou and Jibei. Yu Jin was attacked by Le Yi, Li Xiuning, Li Guang, Du Ruhui and others. They were defeated and captured.

Now Yu Jin is still being reused, but he encounters the combination of Tian Ji and Sun Bin in Jinan, which once again hurt his soldiers.

Xiahouyuan’s cavalry arrived at Yu Jin and Li Dian’s tribes were no longer in danger. They counted the losses and suffered three thousand casualties.

"We wait for the main force to come, the forward should not leave the main force too far."

Yu Jin was defeated many times by opponents far stronger than himself, probably because of the number of defeats. He did not collapse, but bit the bullet and continued fighting.

"Order the troops to reduce the marching distance."

When Chu Tian learned that the Qingzhou Army Corps of Yu Jin had killed and wounded three thousand soldiers, and had been calculated by the opponent many times, it was probably certain that Tian Qi's counselor was Sun Bin.

But the problem is not big. Yu Jin, as a vanguard cannon fodder, was originally to seduce the opponent's hole cards.

Chu Tian planned to personally go to the Sixth Army of the Governor of Jibei and bring Fang Xuanling, Xun You, and Cao Ku. He thought that Fang Xuanling and Xun You could see through Sun Bin's strategy.

Sun Bin is indeed powerful, but Tian Qi only has three counties, and he does not have enough capital to squander Sun Bin.
