Chapter 196: Expedition to Defeat Dong Zhuo! (Reward Plus)
"Choose the Kanto Heroes."
Although he coveted Dong Zhuo's Wenchen generals, for the sake of the three British battles against Lu Bu, and Chutian was one of the Kwantung princes, he naturally chose the Kwantung group's camp.
Chutian's position is also not good, Langya is in the eastern part of the country, if he openly supports Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that he will be jealous of all the princes in the eastern part of the country.
With only two months left before the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Chutian arranged for Zhao Yun to train the heavy cavalry and try to improve the level of the heavy cavalry squad. The Goguryeo heavy cavalry brought back by Chutian from the First National War was less than a hundred people left. Now the heavy cavalry squad of Langya State is dominated by Xuzhou heavy cavalry, but its power is inferior to that of Goguryeo heavy cavalry. After all, the Goguryeo heavy cavalry was a cavalry active in the horse-producing area of Liaodong.
As long as the Goguryeo heavy cavalry paid half of it, plus there was no need to pay pensions, Chutian often ordered them to charge into battle, but the number became smaller and smaller, and Chutian could not replenish it.
In the next national war, we must catch tens of thousands of foreign soldiers and come back as cannon fodder......
Chu Tian has the attributes of Tian Khan, and he has become accustomed to using foreign armies as cannon fodder, mainly cheap.
In the northern border of Goryeo, the city of Uiju, the lord Choi Jae-sun led a large army to sweep the nearby cities, and his military general Eulji Moon-deok had assisted him in leveling the nearby towns, and now he has nine cities in his hands, becoming the most powerful lord in the northern border of Goryeo.
"The civil war in the Eastern Han Dynasty will soon begin, and Liaodong Taishou Mingguan will definitely lead the elite cavalry to participate in the civil war. This is the best time to sneak attack Liaodong. He would never have thought that I would give up participating in the epic battle of Goryeo and deal with him exclusively......"
Choi Jae-sun looked at the land in Liaodong on the other side of the river.
He knew that with Goryeo's own land, he could not compete with the Eastern Han Dynasty, and only by occupying Liaodong could he use the civil war in the Eastern Han Region to defeat the powerful suzerain.
What he wanted to imitate was the deeds of the Liao Dynasty.
During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Central Plains was divided, and the Liao State arose in Liaodong, taking advantage of the civil war to enter the Central Plains.
Liaodong City, 30,000 cavalry, mighty, arranged in a phalanx, with flags covering the sky!
The rare and rare cavalry in the Guan, but it is nothing in Liaodong, and a small soldier of the border army at the end of the Ming Dynasty inspected the cavalry he had under the support of dozens of historical facts and ordinary cavalry generals!
"In this crusade against Dong Zhuo, our Liaodong cavalry will compete with the Xiliang cavalry to see who is the first cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty!"
After Guan Ming became the Taishou of Liaodong, he placed Gongsun Du under house arrest and forced the Gongsun family to support him.
Now he has become a prince with unprecedented military force outside the gates!
Li Chengliang, the general of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, said: "The last general will definitely kill Dong Zhuo for the lord!" ”
Ming Guan laughed: "Dong Zhuo is not so easy to deal with, he has the unparalleled military general Lu Bu under his command, we just need to make as many feats as possible." ”
In the Zhongshan Kingdom of Jizhou, Liu Bei was named the Minister of Zhongshan by the imperial court because of his contribution to assisting Gongsun Zan in his crusade against the Wuhuan tribe and presenting 500 Northern Hebei war horses to Yuan Shao.
"The Han family is declining, how can we sit idly by. The military advisor, the second brother, the third brother, and General Ashina, put the soldiers and horses in order, it's time for us to go. ”
Liu Bei recruited tens of thousands of cavalry in Zhongshan and prepared to lead the elite to Luoyang to participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo.
Liu Bei's Inhuman military advisor looked at the majestic Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, knowing that it was time for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to be famous all over the world. In "Lord", the crusade against Dong Zhuo is obviously taking the route of romance.
Liu Bei in the romance is a subordinate of Gongsun Zhan, but Liu Bei of "Lord" has the help of the Inhuman military advisor and already has his own sphere of influence - Zhongshan Kingdom in Jizhou.
"Three British battles against Lu Bu...... In addition to Liu Guanzhang, which other prince has such a fierce general? ”
As soon as Liu Bei's Inhuman military advisor finished saying this, he thought that the lord who is still ranked first in the Eastern Han Dynasty I just want to farm well, and his generals are Xue Rengui, Li Guang, and Hua Mulan......
Such a lineup is purely in terms of force, and it is better than Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
The main reason is that Liu Bei's force lowered the average level of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"No matter what, the three heroes fought against Lu Bu and couldn't let Chu Zimou steal the limelight."
In Wei County, Jizhou, the lord Zhao Long led tens of thousands of archers to fight: "Those who have the ability to fight Lu Bu are not Liu Guanzhang and Chu Zimou, my military general Shi Long live, plus Yuan Shao's Yan Liang and Wen Chou, why is it difficult to defeat Lu Bu?" ”
In Bingzhou, a lord took Lian Po, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States, out on the expedition, and said to himself: "After all, I still choose to join the camp of the Kwantung heroes." If defeated, can you surrender Dong Zhuo? However, I have Lian Po in command of the soldiers and horses, and his ability to attack and defend is both, so he should not be defeated. ”
In Yangzhou, Tongque, the lord of Lujiang County, was accompanied by three generals, one of whom was brave and majestic, one was good at guarding, and the other was ambitious.
Tongque was a little depressed: "Why did the two epic battles take place in the north, and the Beifu army that I finally recruited with great difficulty is going to fight on land?" ”
……
In the eleventh month of the lord's calendar, in Luoyang City, Yuan Shao, the general of the chariot cavalry, thought that he had peace of mind, because soon the Kwantung princes would assemble in Luoyang City.
Dong Zhuo's army was blocked outside Hangu Pass by Yan Liang and the Inhuman Army.
The sound of hurried footsteps came, and Yuan Shao was alarmed: "What's the matter?" ”
"Dong Zhuo's army crossed the Chousang Plains and attacked Hangu Pass from behind, and General Yan Liang was defeated! Dong Zhuo's army and the Xiliang rebels are marching towards Luoyang at a rapid pace! Dong Zhuo's general Li Dao led the Flying Bear Army Commander to drive straight in, and successively captured important strongholds on the way, and was about to come to the city! ”
"How can it be so ......?"
Yuan Shao's face turned pale.
As long as he can hold out for a month and the Kwantung heroes arrive, then Dong Zhuo will never be able to occupy Luoyang.
And in the last month, Hangu Pass was breached, and Dong Zhuo's cavalry drove straight in!
In addition to Dong Zhuo, there were also Xiliang rebels and lords who followed Dong Zhuo to Heluo to loot the population and property!
Yuan Shao asked Xu You, a strategist who was also panicking, "How many soldiers and horses do we have in Luoyang?" ”
Xu You hurriedly replied: "There are more than 100,000 more, but most of them are newly recruited soldiers, and I am afraid they are not the opponents of Xiliang's proud soldiers......
Yuan Shao's face turned even paler.
Luoyang City has a high-level barracks, as long as there are resources, population, and generals, basically any type of troops can be recruited. However, the soldiers recruited by Yuan Shao did not have time to train, and most of them were new recruits, which could not be compared with the veterans of the group of lords who often fought in Xiliang.
More than 100,000 recruits may not be able to defend Luoyang City.
Xu You asked the stranger who reported the news: "How many soldiers and horses are gathered in the Tongguan area of Dong Zhuo?" ”
"At least hundreds of thousands, most of them are Inhuman lords who followed Dong Zhuo to Luoyang to loot!"
"Please withdraw from Luoyang immediately, retreat to Kanto, and wait for the heroes of Kanto to assemble and choose the opportunity to recover Luoyang."
"Stop, don't do anything, God won't help me!"
When the news of Dong Zhuo's army breaking through Hangu Pass came, the players of Luoyang City used the teleportation array to escape the prosperous city. As early as when Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao were fighting, there were seven or eight percent fewer players in Luoyang City, and at this time, Dong Zhuo entered the customs, and the remaining players all fled.
If you stay in Luoyang City, you will become the target of looting by Dong Zhuo's army and the lord of Xiliang.
"Luoyang City is really unstoppable, our Han League has tried its best, this time the losses are heavy, but there is no way. Forcibly preventing Dong Zhuo from entering Beijing may be a wrong choice in itself......"
The members of the Han League, the Inhuman Guild, left Luoyang City gloomily.
Almost all of their property is in Luoyang, even if some of the lords of Dong Zhuo's group think that Luoyang City should not be destroyed, but if they don't loot Luoyang City, what can Dong Zhuo use to satisfy the greed of his subordinates?
Yuan Shao led hundreds of civil and military officials and more than 100,000 soldiers to leave Luoyang, but because of the delay of the civil and military officials, Yuan Shao was caught up by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong and the vanguard Li Dao led by the cavalry halfway. The army of Wen Chou behind the palace was defeated, and the civil and military officials were plundered!
"Protect the lord!"
Wen Chou's commander was not high, and after the troops were defeated by Xu Rong and Li Wei's cavalry, they could only protect Yuan Shao and fight and retreat.
Xu Rong and Li Dao led 30,000 cavalry in pursuit, while Yuan Shao had more than 100,000 soldiers and a large number of Luoyang residents following, seriously interfering with Xu Rong and Li Dao's plan to try to capture Yuan Shao.
A series of events that took place in the Heluo area soon caused a sensation in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Dong Zhuo's strategists Li Ru and Jia Xu conspired, detoured to the rear of Hanguguan, and broke Yan Liang's 50,000 army!"
"Xu Rong and Li Dao drove straight in, chasing and killing Yuan Shao's 150,000 new army, Yuan Shao collapsed, and only escaped from the Tiger Prison with some soldiers and horses!"
"Li Dao's Flying Bear Army followed Yuan Shao and took advantage of the chaos to occupy the Tiger Prison Pass!"
"Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty and hundreds of civil and military officials fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo!"
"Dong Zhuo's army has entered Luoyang to welcome Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty and hundreds of civil and military officials back to Luoyang!"
"Lu Bu led the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou to cross the river and join Dong Zhuo!"
"Lu Bu recognizes Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law......"
There are players who have defected to Dong Zhuo who have secretly betrayed the news, so the lords of Kanto can also quickly know what happened in Luoyang.
The lords of Kwantung were horrified to find that Dong Zhuo's power was extremely strong, and Yuan Shao was vulnerable under the premise of having two fierce generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
"Yuan Shao is a recruit, how can he compete with the border army."
Langya Kingdom, Xia Cheng, and Chutian gathered troops and horses to prepare to go to fight against Dong Zhuo, and learned the news of the fall of Luoyang.
For this result, it was in Chutian's imagination.
If Yuan Shao can defend Luoyang, then he will not be Yuan Shao.
When Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo fought at Hangu Pass, there were very few people who actually went to support Yuan Shao, because before the epic battle officially began, no one could afford the cost of the teleportation array.
Using the teleportation array to travel from Langya City to Luoyang City, a soldier needs ten taels of silver, and 10,000 people need 100,000 taels of silver. No matter what, Chu Tian could hardly afford such a price.
After the battle began, he could use the teleportation array in Langya City to join the Kwantung Coalition without paying any price.
Most of the other lords and princes did the same in order to preserve their strength.
Yuan Shao lost Luoyang before the start of the campaign against Dong Zhuo, so the battle between Dong Zhuo's camp and the Kwantung princes should still be in the area of Tiger Pass.
Although Yuan Shao failed, Chu Tian was impressed with Yuan Shao this time, and now Yuan Shao is still somewhat strong.
"The list of expeditions has been decided."
Chutian sent 20,000 troops to participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo. Among them, there are 900 high-level cavalry and 300 heavy cavalry, which is the biggest hole card in Chutian's hand, a force that can defeat tens of thousands of people. Crushing is not the same as annihilation, as long as the morale of the other party is broken, tens of thousands of people will soon flee.
The special arms include 3,000 people in the Xiaoliu Battalion and 3,000 people in the Shooting Sound Battalion, a total of 6,000 people.
The ordinary troops include Mulan's light cavalry of 3,000 people, and ordinary infantry archers with nearly 10,000 people.
In order to strengthen the defensive ability of the troops, Chu Tian specially ordered the military craftsmen to produce twelve double-bow bed crossbows, which were pulled by horse-drawn carts or donkey carts for defense.
The lineup of generals sent by Langya State is luxurious, Hua Mulan, Zhou Yafu, Li Guang, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun, who has not yet been loyal to Chutian.
Fang Xuanling continued to serve in the army.
Xia Liang, Li Kui, Xu Sheng, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Xueyue and others stayed in Langya Kingdom.
Chu Tian glanced at the people of Langya Kingdom who came to see him off: "The matter of guarding Langya Kingdom will be handed over to you." ”
Xia Liang said: "Come back alive." ”
Xu Sheng said solemnly: "The last general will definitely defend Xia City, otherwise he will come to see him!" ”
Chu Tian nodded.
He also saw Zhao Yun leading an ordinary war horse, so he asked a high-quality Turkic war horse to be brought from the stable and given to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun knew that Xue Rengui, Li Guang and others had good horses, and they went to watch it, and at this time, Chu Tian gave him an almost identical war horse, so he resigned again and again: "Zilong is not a military general of Langya State, and he will not be punished for nothing." ”
"In this battle, if there is no good horse, how can the hero become famous all over the world? If Zilong really doesn't want to go, wait for the end of this campaign and return this horse. ”
Chu Tian didn't care.
He gave Fang Xuanling, who was not very powerful, a high-grade Turkic war horse, and now he gave Zhao Yun one, so what's the matter.
"Under ......"
Zhao Yun was speechless for a while.
Chu Tian really didn't say anything to him, not only did he properly settle his subordinates, but also the fields, houses, and good horses, and he would send them as he said, and the lord of the world probably didn't get any better than this.
"Needless to say, let's go on the expedition."
The main force of Xiacheng's 20,000 troops began to march towards Langya City, which had a teleportation array, and arrived at the battlefield of Tiger Prison Pass with the help of the teleportation array.
The strong men in the army are holding the battle flag of Xia Cheng and waving the flag!
20,000 people have actually spread all over the mountains and fields, stretching for more than ten miles. The iron hooves of the heavy cavalry left deep hoof prints, and the ruts of the carriages transporting the bed crossbows then ran over them.
Zhao Yun shook his spear and went hand in hand with Xue Rengui.
Hua Mulan had two Tang knives hanging from her waist, and the horse lance was on the carriage of the rear transport team.
The grain of the Kwantung princes was supplied by specific princes.
"I must come back alive, I will definitely be optimistic about the ...... of Langya Country"
Xia Liang took the officials of Langya Kingdom to see Chu Tian lead the army away, and he always felt that something was missing, no one made a decision, and many things were difficult to handle.
Among the onlookers of Langya Kingdom, the female military generals who temporarily lived in the city witnessed the strong Langya Army, and they were secretly surprised in their hearts.
When Chutian was marching towards the Tiger Pass, all the princes were marching towards the Tiger Pass at the same time.
Chu Tian redetermined the number of the Kwantung princes, and the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty plus the inhuman princes had a total of twenty-seven roads!
