Chapter 374: Le Jin Ascends First
"Gongda, I'm going to ask you to help this time."
Chutian recruited Xun You, and this was the first time he cooperated with Xun You.
Xun You is Cao Cao's mastermind, and Fang Xuanling is Li Shimin's mastermind. In order to deal with the divine calculation Sun Bin, Chu Tian needed to use two mastermind-level characters to go to the battlefield of Jinan Kingdom.
Chu Tian also has a disciple of Guiguzi, Pang Juan. It's just that compared with Pang Juan and Sun Bin, the two are far apart, which shows the importance of talent.
Pang Juan's army of soldiers was guarding against the Yuzhou army, and Chutian did not transfer Pang Juan to attack Qingzhou. He always felt that Pang Juan would have an accident when he met Sun Bin. After all, Pang Juan died under Sun Bin's calculations.
Xun You was also interested in competing with Sun Bin, so he gladly agreed.
[Name]: Xun You
[Talent]: Strategist
[Loyalty]: 81
[Commander]: 70 [Force]: 36 [Intelligence]: 97 [Politics]: 88 [Charisma]: 86
[Phase]: Calm
[Favorability]: 53
[Trait 1]: Mastermind (SS-level trait, when you go into battle with the army, there is a high probability of taking the initiative to make a proposal, and there is a high probability of increasing the success rate of the scheme)
[Feature 2]: Count as a last resort (SS-level feature, ask about timing, answer all questions; When the intelligence is higher than that of the opponent's military division, there is a high probability that the opponent's plan will be seen through)
Not long after Xun You joined Cao Cao's forces, he was not absolutely loyal to Cao Cao, so Chu Tian took Xun You with him and was the same mastermind as Fang Xuanling.
There is no explicit provision that the mastermind must be a person, for example, Yuan Shao took Tian Feng, Xun Chen, and Xu You as the masterminds.
Xun You is a very low-key strategist, but before the Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao took him with him every time he went on an expedition, and thought that defeating the enemy was mostly due to Xun You's strategy.
In addition to Xun You and Fang Xuanling, Chutian also brought Cao Di, whose "one go" characteristic is very practical when facing war.
Joan of Arc, Mulan, and Dian Wei led dozens of personal guards to protect Chutian's teleportation array when they came to Xia City, and went directly to the front line of Jibei Kingdom.
Chu Tian's personal guards were all at the level of ordinary military generals, and they all had tigers on their backs, and the players and civilians of Xia City all looked at this small group of people in awe.
Except for Xun You and Fang Xuanling and other strategists whose strength is low, the rest of the people are above 60 in force.
Qualified to use dozens of guards of this level, Xia Cheng couldn't find a few people.
Mulan has two Tang swords hanging from her waist, while Joan of Arc uses a knight's sword and Dian Wei has two iron halberds.
"Xuzhou Mu is going to go on an expedition again?"
"I don't know which prince is going to be unlucky this time."
The players and civilians of Xia City knew that every time Chu Tian left Xia City, it meant a bloody storm.
The scene in front of him changed, and Chu Tian led a group of people to Jibei Kingdom.
"Lord!"
Mi Fang, Wu Anguo, Lu Kuang and other gods of the five schools of the Northern Army came to visit Chutian. The transfer from the local defense corps to the fifth school of the Northern Army was a promotion for Mi Fang and Wu Anguo. Lu Kuang, as Yuan Shao's general, was arranged by Chutian to make up the numbers in the fifth school of the Northern Army, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. His family is still in Hebei, but he has become one of the generals of the Fifth School of the Northern Army of the Xuzhou Mu Guard Legion.
Chu Tian didn't expect them to lead the troops alone, and according to Chu Tian's orders, they could just follow the troops and charge into battle. Their strength is higher than that of high-level troops, among which Wu Anguo's force exceeds 80, and it is enough to match dozens of soldiers in a single fight.
Tai Shici commanded the Tiger Ben Legion, and he was followed by Hua Xiong.
After the last national war, Hua Xiong was rarely directly commanded by Chu Tian, and his 1,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry was incorporated into the Tiger Ben Legion to strengthen the Tiger Ben Legion's ability to break the formation.
Being able to show his face in front of Chu Tian will have more opportunities to be reused, even Hua Xiong knows this.
Chu Tian looked around at this group of generals, although this group of generals was not as good as Xue Rengui, Le Yi and others, they did not lead many soldiers and horses, and they mainly relied on Chu Tian's bonus.
"Except for the Guards Legion, the rest of the legions have entered the Jinan Kingdom, with Le Yi as the commander, Yu Ban's Qingzhou Legion is still the vanguard, Cao Ren's Iron Wall Legion protects the grain road, and Le Yi's Legion is in the center. In order to prevent being calculated by Sun Bin, the various legions cooperated with each other, advanced slowly, and surrounded Licheng. Once the city is captured, and then march to Dongpingling, the seat of Jinan, you can take Jinan. ”
Tai Shici reported to Chutian on the war in Jinan.
To put it simply, take Licheng first, hoard grain, and use it as a granary. The army went straight to Dongpingling and completely controlled the Kingdom of Jinan.
"In this battle, the siege of the city is still second, and the most important thing is to annihilate the main force of Tian Qi south of the Yellow River. As long as Tian Qi's main force is surrounded and annihilated, all counties south of the Yellow River will be pacified. ”
Chutian did not plan to capture the city in one fell swoop, he wanted to seize the Tian Ji army, completely destroy the Tian Ji army, force the Tian Qi forces to withdraw south of the Yellow River, and occupy the part of Qingzhou south of the Yellow River.
After counting the number of the Guards Legion, Chu Tian commanded the three armies of the Guards Legion, the five colonels of the Northern Army, the reconnaissance, and the Tiger Ben, and went to join the main army led by Le Yi.
In the field, messaging is extremely slow and is most likely to be hit. At this time, Mulan's scout corps is extremely important.
A large number of Iron Eagle scouts were sent out to scout the surrounding area and reduce the possibility of encountering ambushes.
Licheng, as the bridgehead of Jinan, was surrounded by the Le Yi army.
The Le Yi Legion itself has a strong siege ability, and Chu Tian appointed Le Jin, who is good at siege, to join the Le Yi Legion and lead the way, so that Le Yi's offensive army is invincible wherever it goes!
In order to quickly take Jinan and test Le Jin's ability, Le Yi immediately ordered a strong attack on Licheng after besieging Licheng!
He gave up the five hundred Yanjia to be led by Le Jin as a siege blade!
According to the usual tactics, Le Yi attacked the city from all sides, putting pressure on the defenders of Licheng, and at the same time interfering with the judgment of the defenders, so that the defenders could not determine which direction the advanced Yanjia Xiandeng team would attack from.
Le Jin is stubborn, and in front of him is five hundred Yan Jia. Le Jin is a member of Cao Cao's camp, a fierce general with a lot of records of beheading, and his strength is not low. Yan Jia is Le Yi's elite soldier, and he also has strong combat power.
"The battle must be won, the attack must be won!"
Before Lejin officially attacked the city, he mobilized 500 Yanjia.
The first to ascend before everyone else is the elite of the siege! Those who have the ability to ascend first are undoubtedly fierce generals who dare to sacrifice their lives, because those who ascend first will die for life!
Li Guang, Dian Wei, Le Jin and others have all registered first!
Five hundred Yanjia Qi said: "The battle will be won, and the attack will be won!" ”
"Attack the city with me!"
Le Jin's words were crisp and neat, with Le Yi in charge of coordinating the overall situation, he commanded five hundred Yanjia to go up and do it according to the order!
In order to maintain Yan Jia's physical strength, Le Yi arranged five hundred low-level soldiers to assist in the siege of the city, they carried the ladder, and would brave the enemy's arrow rain to set up a simple ladder, so that Le Jin and five hundred Yan Jia could follow the ladder to attack the city wall in one go!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The drums of war were rapid and dull, depressing the defenders, and the besieging enemy was on all sides, shouts of killing echoed over the city.
The guard used his bow and crossbow to shoot a low-level foot soldier who tried to ascend first, and he felt a change in the drumbeat of the Legion, which could be a signal that the opponent's first team was attacking!
He swallowed his saliva with difficulty, looking down at the dense siege force beneath the city, unable to determine from which direction the enemy's vanguard would storm the walls.
"Kill!"
Le Jin led five hundred Yan Jia to attack, and Yan Jia held an iron shield and advanced towards the city wall!
Arrows flew from the walls, and the unprotected light infantry carrying ladders continued to fall, and one of the ladders fell to the ground due to heavy casualties of the light infantry, raising dust and dust.
Yan Jia passed, carried the ladder, and continued to move forward!
The rain of arrows in the city fell among the swallow armor, or they were blocked by the iron shield, or they were shot into the heavy piercing armor, and they collided violently with the tempered metal iron sheets! The sound of metal clashing is endless!
"The enemy's first team has arrived, attacking the southern city wall!"
"Send more defenders to the southern wall!"
As Lejin and the five hundred Yanjia entered the siege battle, all the defenders panicked, and the generals defending the city hurriedly sent additional troops in the direction of Lejin's rapid attack.
The defenders scrambled to operate the powerful bed crossbow and changed the direction of aiming to the swallow armor!
The defenders armed with iron hammers hammered, and the thick crossbow arrows whistled out, shooting through the two Yanjia soldiers! Even high-ranking heavy infantry is as weak as paper in front of crossbow arrows, and they die a tragic death!
"A bed crossbow can kill them!"
The defenders couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. Ordinary crossbow arrows have limited damage to heavy armor troops, but relatively expensive armor-piercing arrows and bed crossbows to defend the city can kill high-level heavy infantry!
Rumble! Five ladders slammed into the city walls, hooking the walls!
"Push the ladder!"
The defenders tried their best to knock the ladder away.
It was too late, Le Jin led the five hundred Yanjia to start sprinting, climbing up the ladder!
There was a constant rain of rolling stones or arrows, and Le Jin could hear the sound of stray arrows hitting his armor or shield, and the more daring he became, the more he risked climbing the wall!
The spear of the defender stabbed and was struck away by Le Jin with a shield, and Le Jin killed in the middle of the defenders, splashing blood five steps!
The Yan Jia in the rear followed, forming a moon formation and fighting with the defenders!
Le Jin is short in stature, but he is extremely brave in battle, and he uses a ring head knife to cut several people in a row, and the defenders are all afraid, and they only dare to use crossbow arrows to shoot Le Jin.
Le Jin took Yan Jia to fight with the defenders on the city wall in close combat, and Yan Jia, who had the bonus of Le Yi and the bonus of Le Attacking the city, broke out with more powerful combat power, and the city wall became a one-sided killing!
The iron halberd was like harvesting straw, and the defenders were all panicked and retreated one after another.
"Lejin is really a siege general."
Le Yi, who commanded the army to storm Licheng, was not strong, and he couldn't help but praise Le Jin for his heroic performance in the siege. Lejin's siege bonus also has an effect on Yanjia, plus Lejin's force is not low, so it is suitable to serve as the general of the first team!
Le Yi understood why Chutian transferred Le Jin to him as a deputy general. He joins forces with Lejin, and unless he encounters a dedicated defender, there are not many cities that can stop his offensive army! The Offensive Legion is built to deal with tough siege battles!
Attack, that is, the battle must be won, the attack must be won!
Le Jin led five hundred Yanjia to climb the city wall first, seizing some of the city walls, and a steady stream of low-level soldiers in the rear swarmed up!
Le Jin beheaded the other party and paid three generals, and five hundred Yanjia killed thousands of defenders, as if he was in a no-man's land on the city wall! Where Yanjia arrived, corpses were everywhere! The defenders who died in the battle blocked the city wall and were thrown directly from the city wall by Yan Jia, which was extremely brutal!
Less than an hour after Le Jin ascended first, he killed the defenders of the city gate, opened the city gate, and welcomed the Le Yi army into the city!
Le Yi broke into Licheng with a small number of cavalry in the legion and seized the granary as a supply point for attacking Pingling in the east of Jinan.
Lejin's armor is drenched in blood, as one of the five good generals, Romance underestimated Lejin's ability, in fact, Lejin's offensive was extremely fierce and famous for Xiaoguo.
On the other side, Yu Ban's Qingzhou Legion and Cao Ren's Tiebi Legion captured Licheng in order to cover the Leyi Legion and block the Tian Ji and Tian Dan Legions who tried to support the defenders.
The Tiandan Legion pinned down the Tiebi Legion, and the forbidden Qingzhou Legion fought fiercely with the Tianji Legion, Sun Bin laid a strong crossbow on both wings and fired fiercely at the Qingzhou Legion, resulting in the rout of the Qingzhou Legion on both wings.
Yu Ban tried his best to consolidate the military formation and avoid the collapse of the Chinese army. He was once again frustrated by Sun Bin and gritted his teeth unwillingly. Sun Bin is not only outstanding in strategy, but also a representative of the military family, which has a huge bonus to the legion. The Tian Ji Army with Sun Bin and the Tian Ji Army without Sun Bin are like worlds apart!
"The forbidden army is in danger, it is advisable to save it quickly!"
Yang Ye led thousands of cavalry and said to Zhang Liao, who also led thousands of cavalry.
Their invincible legion was not yet fully formed, and the main body was the cavalry recruited by Yang Ye in Guangling County and Zhang Liao in Dongjun. Even so, these two fierce men still dared to go forward to attack the Tian Ji Army!
The Invincible Legion also has more than a thousand ordinary heavy cavalry.
Yang Ye and Zhang Liao's cloaks hunted, and the two cavalry generals, armed with spears and halberds, led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack the Tianji army from the flanks!
The iron hooves clanged, the earth trembled, and the spear in hand came with a bang!
Tian Ji's army lacked cavalry, and in the face of the impact of Yang Ye and Zhang Liao's mixed cavalry corps, it was very likely to be crushed.
"Troop Formation!"
The soldiers of the Tianji Legion on the flanks retreated backwards, revealing two rows of military vehicles, which were covered with cowhides, linked to each other with iron cables, and armed with excellent crossbows or halberds, which were like forests, forming a copper wall and iron wall!
"Get out of the way!"
Yang Ye and Zhang Liao saw that Sun Bin had already taken precautions, and did not dare to directly collide with the car formation laid by Sun Bin.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were forced to turn and use their horned bows to shoot at foot soldiers and crossbowmen at the rear of the chariot formation.
The powerful crossbows of Qi Gong were fired, and the cavalry with arrows fell from the back of the horse, and the war horse was shot by random arrows and fell to the ground with a bang!
Yang Ye and Zhang Liao couldn't get much benefit in front of Sun Bin. Sun Bin was always one step ahead of them.
Yu Ban, Yang Ye, Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong invested a total of three corps that were not fully formed, and were thwarted by the two corps of Tian Ji, Sun Bin, and Tian Dan.
Although Tian Dan and Tian Ji's legions did not hit the three legions of Qingzhou, Tiebi, and Invincible hard, the three legions had already bought time for the Leyi legion to attack the city, but this made the generals who had just joined the Chutian forces disheartened.
"Xu Rong and Xiahou Yuan have already gone around to the rear of the enemy to run out of food, I don't know if I can achieve results, I always have a bad premonition."
Yu Ban discussed with Yang Ye, Zhang Liao, Cao Ren and others, and believed that the Tian Ji Legion, which had Sun Bin as a military advisor and obtained Sun Bin's bonus, was extremely tricky, and the Tian Dan Legion was also difficult to annihilate.
Yang Ye was frustrated, but what he thought of was the lord: "As long as the lord comes, everything can be solved." ”
Yu Ban, Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other generals glanced at each other, and it seemed that they still had to ask their lord to go out in person.
"My talent is far away from the master."
Yu Ban, who has been defeated repeatedly, sighed.
"Military Division, Licheng has been lost!"
When Sun Bin heard the news, he changed color slightly.
He assisted Tian Ji and Tian Dan to defeat a group of generals, but he still miscalculated, Le Yi and Le Jin broke the city too fast!
