Chapter 176: Both of them are in trouble
Yuan Shao is uniquely blessed, and he occupies a large area of Jizhou and Bingzhou.
In the northeast corner above Yuan Shao, two brothers, Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du, divided Youzhou and Liaodong equally.
Under Yuan Shao, Diao Chan's beauty plan finally happened, Dong Zhuo finally died, Lu Bu became a lost dog, Cao Cao took the opportunity to enter Luoyang, and pushed to Chang'an.
On the right side is the Yellow Turban is currently getting stronger and stronger, Princess Zhang Ning's department, one occupies Qingzhou and Chongzhou, for the so-called Princess Zhang Ning, Zhao Mu naturally knows who the so-called is, laughing and silent, it seems that Helian Qingwu's heart of not admitting defeat is strong, and he wants to compete with himself.
Down, it is Zhao Mu who has become an iron bucket in Xuzhou.
Further down, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu occupy a good area, and the area occupied by the two is much larger than ten Xuzhou.
Among them, the previous Yuzhou and Yangzhou were all taken advantage of by Yuan Shu, a jackal.
As for Liu Biao?
The territory is huge, but every qiē is just a plate of Chinese food, and Zhao Mu didn't put it in his eyes.
In addition, the last candidate remains, and that is Xiliang Ma Teng, who stays in the extreme west.
Looking at the overall situation, in just a few years, the shape of the competition for hegemony has become more and more obvious, and the situation has become more and more inventive.
Finally, Zhao Muzha served for three whole years and was out of the customs in the fourth year.
Because, he doesn't have to wait any longer.
At this moment, in the back mountain of Jianzhuang, there are black lacquered pig iron cannon barrels in front of Zhao Mu's eyes, and below are gun carriages.
Countless craftsmen are massively assembling these devices.
After three years of obscurity, Zhao Mu not only successfully expanded the number of troops to 230,000, but also increased the number of tigers and leopards to 25,000 horsemen in the cultivation of resources at any cost.
The most important thing is that these years. He made gunpowder, developed it into explosives, and more than 200 years ahead of time, he made the most powerful weapon of the day, the pig iron cannon.
On this day, a very special black-robed guest came to Xuzhou.
As soon as the two met, Helian said lightly: "What, are you tired of guarding the little beauty of the Mi family?" ”
Zhao Mu smiled. Instead of picking up the topic, he asked, "Are you ready, I'm starting a general offensive." ”
"Okay, then let's work together to see who has more ground."
On the same day, Helian quietly disappeared in the mist.
On the fourth day, Zhang Ning's department broke out violently, and suddenly attacked Cao Cao's territory on the left, and this one made a move with all his might. It's a good time.
When Cao Cao went south to lead the army to attack Liu Biao's endless fertile land, for a while, the momentum of the horizontal push was unstoppable, and he fought all the way and pushed quickly, and in less than a few months, he instantly ate Luoyang, which Cao Cao had not been stable for a long time.
At this time, Yuan Shao was also caught in the battle between the two brothers of Gongsun Zan in Liaodong, and Liu Bei robbed him of his luck because of Zhao Mu. Not only did it not get the birthplace of Xuzhou, but it also had no support from the Mi family. Not to mention the eldest lady of the Mi family, he is naturally still forced to stay in the territory of his good buddies.
However, this makes Gongsun Zan's strength far stronger than history, as strong as Yuan Shao's good background, and he can't bite this hard bone, but now, Zhang Ningbu has seized this opportunity. let go of his hands and feet, and snatched Cao Cao's Luoyang in one fell swoop.
However, Helian Qingwu's good luck can be regarded as the end, this girl is really competitive, and she chose the most tenacious and powerful Cao Cao army to fight hard, and it was very fast. Brother Cao naturally hastily collected troops from Liu Biao and returned to guard Chang'an, and then the two fell into the quagmire of war.
In contrast, Zhao Mu's choice is much smarter, at this time, the territory of the Three Kingdoms, the entire territory of the first half of the territory, is the land of strongmen, a small area, entrenched in Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, counting Liu Bei under the city, the end of the four strong people.
As for Ma Teng in the extreme west, he was temporarily forgotten, not because he didn't have a sense of zài, but because the land of Xiliang was too barren with grain, and for the current war, grain and grass should go first, and the land of Hanzhong with dense population and fertile land was naturally more valued by the candidates.
Helian Qingmist's actions here can be said to be one person separating the barrier of the top four, Zhao Mu has no worries, and has accumulated a lot of money and materials, he didn't think much about it, and directly took the territory, the only Yuan Shu who could barely take it to open the knife.
Brother Yuan Shu, who took the opportunity to swallow the two pieces of fat in Yu and Yangzhou, is about to spit it out now.
In fact, Brother Yuan Shu attached great importance to Zhao Mu, who had been in ambush, and laid a large army on the border with Xuzhou.
But when Zhao Mu was obscure for three years, once it broke out, he still blinded his dog eyes.
The fat meat thrown out by Zhao Mu was so delicious.
Zhao Mu immediately ordered the troops to be divided into two routes, one was to send 50,000 tigers and leopards to Yuzhou, and the other was to pro-rate, 15,000 tigers and leopards to ride, without any infantry, and pushed down the entire Yangzhou.
At the same time, the Minwei Regiment, which had grown to 70,000, was also drawn out by Zhao Mu with 70,000 troops and followed Zhao Mu south.
The first to start the war was still Pengcheng, but this time it was not defending, but attacking, facing the news that Yuan Shu, who had already heard the news and had a full 70,000 troops on the border of Henan.
The strength of the two is almost comparable, but one side is defending the city, and because of being wary of such a murderer as Zhao Mu, Yuan Shu has continuously increased the city defense of the border cities and counties in recent years, and the moat has been dug dozens of zhang deep.
But such efforts were still useless, and as Songwu led Cheng Wu, Fan Yong, and Deng Ai to the city, they launched one pig iron cannon after another.
All shots!
Suddenly, the morale of the advantage of standing in the city and defending it was completely gone, which was equivalent to using the technology of the bronze society, and the Stone Age that beat the primitive society, and the gap was even greater.
After a series of bombardments for a long time, the city wall collapsed, and the soldiers in the city had already been killed and wounded, and the survivors were far away from the city wall.
At this point, filling the river and entering the city is so simple.
Songwu bombed and advanced all the way, and Yuan Shu vomited three liters of blood when he heard it.
Compared with Songwu's attack on Yuzhou, Zhao Mu's battle to the south was even more wonderful, and he alone led the expanded Keqing regiment to thousands and 10,000 cavalry.
Directly blasted the defense of Yangzhou City, followed by 15,000 heavy horses, mixed with an invincible attitude, directly rushed into the city, to slaughter and defeat the entire 40,000 troops who retreated in the city.
There are also a thousand good-looking Keqing, staring at the beheading tactics of school officers and generals, and Yuan Shu's 40,000 defenders of the city, under Zhao Mu's ferocity, collapsed in an instant, died and voted.
The 70,000 Minwei regiment that followed, only a second-rate army, immediately divided 20,000 to follow Zhao Mu and consolidate it by occupying territory.
