Chapter 980: Defend one city, defend the world

"Very well, you will be a member of the Northern Army from now on!"

Mi Fang patted Xiahouen on the shoulder, and accepted the sword **** Xiahouen into the fifth academy of the Northern Army.

Xiahouen carried a long sword on his back, and just performed swordsmanship in front of Mi Fang and others.

Xiahouen's swordsmanship is superb. In the eyes of Mi Fang, Xing Daorong and others, they are astonishing, thinking that Xiahouen's force may exceed anyone they have ever seen.

So, Xiahouen was recognized by Mi Fang, who was already General Wuwei, by virtue of her superb swordsmanship.

General Takebe is already a senior general.

Mi Fang has followed Chu Tian for more than ten years. In the early days, the Mi family funded Chu Tian to make a fortune. Recently, Mi Zhu donated another one million taels of silver. Therefore, Mi Fang's power in Chu Tian is flat. As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, he still has a chance to be promoted.

"When will our 5th Northern Military Academy leave? My sword is already hungry and thirsty."

Xiahou En was eager to try.

"Don't worry, our fifth Northern Army Academy will soon go to deal with the Beifu Army in Jiangdong. The Beifu Army knows? The most elite army under King Wu. If you are not careful, you may be defeated by the Beifu Army. Our Northern Army The five schools can't have any failures."

Mi Fang also knows that if you want to climb up, you must try to avoid a big defeat.

Countless celebrities in the end, it is easy to fall short.

"Northern Army? Let my long sword wipe out all the powerful enemies for King Xia!"

At this time, Xiahouen was still full of confidence, thinking that he could make an immortal contribution.

"With the swordsmanship of Brother Xiahou, I have no doubt."

Xing Daorong and Wu Anguo were scared by Xiahouen's gorgeous swordsmanship, so they also had confidence in Xiahouen.

The Five Northern Army Academy and Sanhe Cavalry assembled in Xiacheng, preparing to attack the Beifu Army occupying the eastern part of Langya Kingdom.

Beifu Army occupied the eastern part of Langya country, but did not dare to attack Xiacheng, because Xiacheng is located in the Yihe and Shuhe plains, suitable for cavalry charge.

Chutian personally set out to try to retake the county seat occupied by the Wu army.

The Roman Legion has been at war with the Northern Army, and the Shenji Camp has joined the Roman Legion.

North Army Fifth Academy and Sanhe Cavalry attacked Xihai County from another direction.

The army of Langya country was mobilized, and at least 200,000 Xia troops were contained in Langya country.

On the surface of the Yellow Sea, Jiangdong Navy attacked Huang County, Donglai County, in an attempt to destroy the Fubo Army.

However, the Fubo Army received the order in advance to retreat to Liaodong and avoid the Jiangdong Navy.

There were 30,000 troops stationed in Huangxian to prevent the Jiangdong Navy from capturing Huangxian.

The bronze bird stood on the deck of a huge ship, looking out over the heavily guarded Huang County.

After Chutian transferred back 300,000 imperial guards to defend Xuzhou and Qingzhou, the Jiangdong Navy could not easily occupy the coastal counties as they did at the beginning.

"The Xia Jun has been prepared. Sure enough, without a strong cavalry, it is difficult for the Northern Expedition to succeed. The only successful Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang, is also because the Mongols have bred a large number of horses on the Jianghuai side. Zhu Yuanzhang has a not weak cavalry. At that time, the northern Mongols fell into civil strife..."

The plight of the bronze bird at this time?  Similar to the Soochow, Southern Song and other separatist forces, even if some counties and counties in the north are temporarily captured, without large-scale cavalry?  It is difficult to defend.

Lu Meng once explained to Sun Quan that even if Xuzhou is taken down, he cannot hold Xuzhou for a long time.

At this time, Lv Meng dressed in white?  Lv Meng, who was carefully cultivated by the bronze bird, seemed to be a Confucian general?   could even serve as a military instructor, reminding the bronze bird: "Lord?   Our army has been north for a long time, and we have been far away from Jianye for a long time?  I am afraid that Jianye has lost. Leaving a team of partial divisions, always harass Langya Kingdom, Donglai County, and contain the imperial guards of King Xia. The main revolution to attack Guangling County?   is close to Jianye?   can also contain the forces of Guangling County. Waiting for changes in the north, do not make good plans ."

"Now it seems?   I have to do so."

"Return to Jiangdong!"

Jiangdong Navy Commander Zhou Yu led the fleet?  returned from Donglai County.

Nanyang County, where Wu Qi led the austere Wei Wuzu corps, approaching the city?  Wancheng garrison can already feel the oppression of Wu Qi's army.

The sense of oppression brought by the army commanded by Wu Qi?  is far from the army commanded by ordinary generals.

The king of Tang said that Tang led the defenders of Nanyang County?   garrisoned Wancheng to resist the Xia army.

Don’t say that Tang is not very nervous?  Because the general defending Wancheng is the top defender Zhang Xun in the East Han District.

Although Zhang Xun is not the commander of a large army such as Wei Qing, Yue Fei, and Wu Qi, according to the defense bonus, no one in the Eastern Han Dynasty beats him.

Thousands of Zhang Xun can contain hundreds of thousands of siege troops.

Therefore, not many people are willing to attack the city Zhang Xun defended.

The siege is quite tragic, especially the siege with famous defenders, it is undoubtedly a nightmare for the siege. Zhu Neng and Geng Yan attacked a mountain city defended by a famous guard in Goryeo with cavalry, and they were unable to win in a short time.

Wancheng is a large-scale city. After many years of operation in the Tang Dynasty, the city is strong, with sufficient troops, abundant grain and grass, and there is guard Zhang Xun. Therefore, in the plan of Chutian and Wu Qi, Xia Jun will bypass Wancheng and take Xinye. Intimidate Fancheng and Xiangyang.

As for how to capture Wancheng, Wu Qi advocated siege, until Tang surrendered.

According to the player's endurance, the food is exhausted, or, the general situation is gone, basically they will choose to surrender.

A group of Xia Jun soldiers and horses arrived at the city of Wancheng, and Wei Wuzuo insisted on being sharp and murderous.

The iron armor and horses of the Xia Army are endless.

The Fangcheng Xia Road between Xuchang and Wancheng was opened by Xia Jun, and Xia Jun’s cavalry swarmed into the Nanyang Basin.

The current Tang Jun has been fully huddled in Wancheng, and he dare not fight with Xia Jun.

It is said that Tang Ling Guo Ziyi, Qin Qiong and Li Daozong led a team of soldiers and horses to go south to Fancheng, and joined the Song army from Xiangyang, trying to unite inside and outside, and defeat Wu Qi.

"Even if the opponent is a military strategist Wu Qi, he can't take down this city. Zhang Xun's defensive bonus, coupled with the defensive bonus of the city wall, has reached the point of horror. Attacking Wancheng is definitely not worth the loss."

said that Tang knew Zhang Xun's ability very well.

As the lord of Zhang Xun, he said that Tang could see Zhang Xun's abilities.

[Name]: Zhang Xun

[Talent]: King-level commander (Defensive system)

[Commander]: 91 [Strength]: 61 [Intelligence]: 90 [Politics]: 71 [Charm]: 95

[Phaseality]: Loyalty

[Feature 1]: Defend a city, defend the world (SSS-class defense feature, defense force +70%, defense durability +30%, fortification damage to the enemy +20%)

[Feature 2]: Righteousness and awe-inspiring (S-level feature, the morale of the defender decreases by -20%, and the morale of the defender is restored by 20% every 10 days)

[Feature 3]: Active defense (S-level feature, when attacking the enemy out of the city, the legion damage +18%)

[Special Arms]: Suiyang Death Warrior (Tier 5 light infantry/bowman, the maximum number is 7000, high defense bonus)

Said that Tang took another look at Zhang Xun's ability and knew it well.

Although Zhang Xun is only a king-level commander, and there are not many soldiers and horses that can be commanded, Zhang Xun has the SSS-level defensive characteristics-"to defend a city and defend the world".

This defensive feature is simply terrifying, greatly improving the defensive power of the defender, the durability of the fortifications, and the lethality of the city defense.

, combined with the S-level incentive feature "righteous and awe-inspiring", effectively guarantees that the morale of the defenders will not drop to the point where they cannot fight due to the strong attack on the city.

Said that Tang believes that there are not many famous generals who are willing to attack Zhang Xun's defense, even Wu Qi is no exception.

Even if Chutian gave Wu Qi enough troops to push down Wancheng, he would suffer heavy losses, just like rebels in the Anshi Rebellion.

Every celebrity general has his own ability. Zhang Xun's ability is to defend the city, and he has taken the defense to the extreme, terrifying.

It can be said that when Zhang Xun was defending the city, he was not afraid of the saint-level commander coming to attack.

Zhang Xun is not without weakness.

As long as Zhang Xun goes out of the city to fight with Wu Qi, then Wu Qi can crush Zhang Xun because the city defense feature cannot be effective in the wild. The "righteous awe-inspiring" feature is only effective when defending the city.

This also determines that Zhang Xun is in a passive position.

besieged Zhang Xun in a city, Zhang Xun will be useless.

The practical value of Zhang Xun can be big or small, and if you encounter a siege master with a strong head, you will be broke.

If the opponent has enough troops to besiege the city and the main force bypasses the city defended by Zhang Xun, then the value of Zhang Xun will decrease.

Of course, Zhang Xun also has an "active defense" feature, with a certain ability to go out of the city to counterattack.

Wu Qi's choice was to bypass Zhang Xun's defense.

"Wei Wuji, commanding 20,000 soldiers of Wei, and 80,000 low-rank cavalry, threatened Wancheng. If the defenders of Wancheng go out of the city, send Wei Wuji to destroy it."

Wu Qi ordered his son Wei Wuji to siege Wancheng without attacking.

He already knows that Zhang Xun's ability to defend the city is extremely terrifying, and he has no plans to attack Wancheng.

Chu Tian called the Red Yi Cannon, so Wu Qi could use it according to the situation.

In addition to the Red Barbarian Cannon, Chutian left the Imperial Guard's Third Women Corps, the main general Hua Mulan; the eighth Khitan Army, the main general Xiao Chuo; and the seventh National Guardian Corps, UU Kanshu , the main general Joan of Arc. , Urged the French Defenders, the Bohemia Hus Chafort Army, and the Western Byzantine Teaching Corps.

In addition, King Arthur, who belongs to the First Iron Cavalry of the Imperial Guard, led two hundred round table knights as a heavy cavalry assault team under the command of Xiao Chuo.

Hua Mulan has about 200,000 guards in charge.

Wu Qi commanded the Central Plains Army's First Soldier Corps and Third Iron Wall Corps, with a total of 200,000 troops, and joined Hua Mulan to the south.

Hua Mulan is temporarily commanding the entire army on behalf of Chu Tian, ​​and Xiao Chuo is the military division.

Wu Qi attacked Fancheng, while Hua Mulan attacked Xinye.

Fancheng and Xinye are separated by the White River.

The Xia Army attacked Jingzhou’s first-stage goal, attacking the peripheral defense lines such as Fancheng and Xinye.

In the second stage, Xiangyang was captured and Jiangling was taken directly.

In the third stage, take Jiangxia, Jingnan and other places to take the entire Jingzhou.

The pioneer general of the Khitan army, Xiao Talin, led 3,000 cavalrymen of the Shan army, and has approached the new field.

The soldiers stationed in Xinye were military generals such as Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, and Cai Wei from the Song Army of Jingzhou. In order to strengthen the defense of Xinye, Yang Shilang sent guard Wu Jie.

Wu Jie belongs to the first-class generals of the crossbow system.

Huang Zhong stood on the wall of Xinyecheng, looking north.

Huang Zhong is now over fifty years old and his temples are white.

When the other four tigers of the Five Tiger Generals fought in Wudu County, Huang Zhong silently stationed in Xinye City.
