"Zheng Zhilong of the Fubo Army occupied Jeju Island, obtained 70,000 or 80,000 horses, and captured Yi Sunsin, the general of the Goryeo Naval Division."

When Chu Tian was besieging Yecheng, he received a battle report from the Fubo Legion.

This time the surprise attack on Jeju Island, the Fubo Army was completely in the initiative, and the Goryeo Kingdom was busy dealing with the Liaodong Army and was defenseless, so it is not surprising that Zheng Zhilong had this victory.

The biggest capture may not be 780,000 war horses, but the capture of Yi Sunsin.

Myeongguan has a tendency to destroy the Goryeo Kingdom, and if Yi Sunsin falls into the hands of Myeongguan, it will bring a lot of trouble to the Fubo army.

The Fubo Legion really needs to accommodate more talents, even in the Goryeo Kingdom, there are still a few talents who can be seen.

Zheng Zhilong raised horses in the local area and engaged in trade in Qingxu, Goryeo, and Dongying. For Yi Sunsin, try to be gentle. ”

Chu Tian ordered to go down.

On the side of Goryeo, it is good for Chutian to drink some soup, and his focus is on running Hebei.

The North China Plain is more fertile than the Goryeo Kingdom.

"Order Cheng Yu to forcibly recruit 100,000 villagers in Yanzhou and besiege Yecheng."

On the outskirts of Yecheng, Chutian's army was piling up earth mountains, rising from the ground one after another, and at the same time digging tunnels and driving directly below Yecheng to prepare for a strong attack.

The craftsmen who accompanied the army made siege equipment such as trebuchets, chariots, ramming cars, ballistas, and ladder carts.

The grain and grass in Yecheng can still be eaten for eight or nine months, and if it is only a siege, Zhao Long's main force must have broken through Taiyuan.

Chutian planned to storm Yecheng to see if he could capture Yecheng in a short time.

During this period, Liu Bei's military advisor Wang Meng constantly sent cavalry to interfere with Chutian's army, and once destroyed a dirt mountain.

Liu Beijun was stationed between Yecheng and Handan, and the supply line was very short, so there was basically no need to worry about grain and grass.

If Chu Tian wants to attack Liu Bei, he must leave part of his troops to besiege Yecheng, and the supply line is even longer.

Wang Meng knew that Chutian crossed the Yellow River in the north and came from afar, and the load of grain and grass was extremely heavy, so he adopted the attack tactics of a small cavalry force, so that Chutian could not be disturbed and could not concentrate on attacking the city.

The defenders of Yecheng learned that Liu Bei's reinforcements were in the north, and their morale soared, and there was no tendency to fall.

Liu Beijun did not engage Chu Tian head-on, but brought more trouble to Chu Tian. Liu Beijun already had some rudiments of guerrilla warfare.

Xun You saw that Chu Tian was worried for a few days, so he proposed: "You can leave one army to besiege Yecheng, and the rest of the army bypasses Yecheng, crosses Zhangshui at night, and quickly defeats Liu Bei." Liu Bei's back was against the water, and after the defeat of the army, it was difficult to flee for a while, and he would be hit hard. ”

"It makes sense."

Xun You's words strengthened Chu Tian's determination to defeat Liu Bei head-on.

"Miss Xia and the First Servant Legion besieged Yecheng, and the rest of the people recuperated, crossed Zhangshui overnight, broke Liu Bei's army in the early morning, and after defeating, rewarded the three armies!"

Chu Tian knew that if Liu Bei was not destroyed as soon as possible, then there was no time before the capture of Yecheng was imminent.

Out of trust in Xia Liang, Chu Tian handed over the task of besieging the city to her and Joan of Arc, and left the Four Tigers of the Northern Army, ordering them to protect Xia Liang no matter what.

As for the others, follow Chutian's actions.

During the night, more than 100,000 troops secretly assembled and marched to the north.

Among them, all the white-robed legions of light cavalry and the Divine Speed Legion opened the way in front and built pontoon bridges.

In the north, in Liu Bei's army, Wang Meng, a military advisor, is also in the layout.

According to the scouts, Chu Zimou used ships to transport a large amount of grain and grass to Yecheng through Baigou. If this batch of grain and grass can be burned, Chu Zimou will definitely retreat. ”

"Chu Zimou's war eagle can only play a role during the day, but at night, it will no longer have any advantage. Ashina Sheer, you lead a light cavalry and attack its grain and grass. If there is any disadvantage, retreat immediately, and do not be greedy for war. ”

"The rest of the soldiers and horses went south to cross Zhangshui and attacked Chu Zimou's camp in the early morning, so as to gain an opportunity for Ashina Sheer to burn grain and grass in the chaos."

Wang Meng deployed them one by one.

Ashina Sheer was good at running, and his cavalry speed was second only to Xiahou Yuan, so Wang Meng sent him to attack grain and grass. And Liu Beijun's main force was just a feint.

After Liu Beijun recuperated, he began to pull out the camp and march to the south.

Both Chu Tian and Liu Bei's armies wanted to kill each other, and the two armies coincided and marched towards each other on the same day.

Ashina Sheer went south through the bend of Zhangshui, and Liu Bei's main force attacked from the front.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were once again the vanguards, carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and Zhangba Snake Spear, and led the cavalry south. This time, they brought not only light cavalry, but also heavy cavalry such as Youzhou Raiders.

Although they were a little dissatisfied with Wang Meng, Wang Meng did cause a lot of trouble to Chu Tian, and he was always in the initiative.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei approached Zhangshui, there was a sudden commotion ahead.

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he hadn't crossed the Zhangshui yet, so something happened?

The cavalry at the front rushed to report: "Two generals, the vanguard is engaged in battle with the enemy!" ”

Guan Yu was the first to react: "It's not good, the thief army crossed the river to sneak attack us, and it coincided with us." ”

Zhang Fei scratched his head: "We led the cavalry to assault, drove it down to Zhangshui, and drowned them all!" Drive! ”

Zhang Fei said goodbye and directly led the cavalry of his headquarters to assault!

Guan Yu thought for a while, and he might not lose in a night encounter, so he carried the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and joined Zhang Fei to meet the Chutian army heading north.

Chu Tian led the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army, the Tiger Ben Army (Tai Shici), the Xuanjia Army (Wei Chi Gong), the Jianyan Army (Liang Hongyu), the Scout Army (Hua Mulan) and other guard corps in the rear, and when he heard the shouts of killing on the other side of Zhangshui, he was stunned at first, and then helpless.

He and Wang Meng's plans were almost identical, and now the surprise attack on both sides turned into an encounter.

"The Yulin Legion and the Tiger and Leopard Legion crossed the river from the left and right flanks to flank the attack. The offensive legion crossed the river head-on, supporting the white-robed legion and the speedy legion. Invincible Legion, as a reserve. ”

Chutian quickly issued an order, and after receiving the order, the various corps commanders immediately began to act.

"Cross the river, cross the river!"

Cao Cao personally stood by the pontoon bridge and urged the tiger and leopard to ride across the river from the pontoon bridge erected on the right.

Seeing that his legion commander was still working so hard, the tiger and leopard rode to the other side.

The Haw Par Legion had 5,000 Haw and Panther cavalry, as well as a group of low-rank light cavalry.

The two armies are caught in an uncontrollable scuffle that neither side expected.

The battle that took place in Zhangshui could be heard even by the defenders of Yecheng.

Xia Liang yawned and said to Li Xiuning: "You lead the women's army to strengthen the protection of grain and grass, and let Joan of Arc divide an army for you." Her lieutenant, Jill, can go with you to protect the food. Lie in ambush on both sides, and strike at an enemy when he comes. ”

"Yes!"

Li Xiuning led a few thousand women's troops, and Jier, the deputy general of the Holy Women's Legion, led 20,000 servant troops, one on the left and one on the right, to protect the grain and grass that was vital to the Chutian army.

Joan of Arc spies on the defenders of Yecheng. There were more of her minions than the defenders, and the defenders did not dare to fight at all.

After the deployment, although there was a shouting and killing not far away, Xia Liang fell asleep peacefully wrapped in the futon, muttering to himself in his sleep: "Chutian, I want to squeeze you dry ......"

……

"It's you again!"

Zhang Fei pulled out the Zhangba snake spear, and a white-robed cavalryman fell from his horse.

With the light of the fire, he saw Xue Rengui coming straight towards him.

This is the third time Zhang Fei has fought against Xue Rengui.

"I let you escape twice before, and then again, and again, and again, and again!"

Xue Rengui's Fang Tian painting halberd was chopped off the head and was blocked by Zhang Fei!

Xue Rengui pressed his hands on Fang Tian's painting halberd, and the eight snake spears sank, Zhang Fei was shocked, but his words were unforgiving: "If you have the ability, catch your Grandpa Zhang!" ”

However, Zhang Fei caught a glimpse of Zhao Yun killing again vigorously, and he was immediately stunned, he couldn't block the two fierce generals.

The Divine Speed Legion followed the White-robed Legion, and Chen Qingzhi, Xiahou Yuan, and Xu Rong were responsible for clearing the cavalry brought by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The cavalry of the white-robed army came out of nowhere at night and slashed and killed the Youzhou cavalry.

Among the Youzhou cavalry, the Youzhou Assault Cavalry led by Guan Yu was a heavy cavalry, but it caused huge casualties to the light cavalry of the Shensu Legion.

Guan Yu temporarily commanded the Youzhou Assault Cavalry, the Pig Assault Light Cavalry, and the heavy cavalry covering the big armor was comparable to an iron plow, and corpses were everywhere he went!

Any light cavalry that stands in front of the Youzhou Assault Cavalry will be defeated!

Xiahou Yuan shot an arrow and hit the face of a Youzhou Raider, killing him.

"Avoid this heavy cavalry and shoot it with a bow!"

In the face of Guan Yu's heavy cavalry, the light cavalry with a large number of people could only avoid, and then use cavalry to take away a group of Youzhou assault cavalry.

Guan Yu held a knife and went straight to Xiahou Yuan!

Xiahou Yuan saw that Guan Yu was menacing, and shot three arrows at him in a row, so he retreated into the army, without the courage of a horseman.

Guan Yu slashed three arrows, and when the Qinglong Yanyue Knife collided with the arrow, the sound was crisp and let out a soft roar.

"Fight and dare not fight, what is it for?!"

Guan Yu raised his sword and killed a light cavalry, and he was greatly disdainful of Xiahou Yuan to avoid the battle.

Xiahou Yuan was bitter in his heart, he was really not Guan Yu's opponent when he fought alone, and Guan Yu's explosive power was extremely strong, and he might be killed by him under the light enemy.

However, Guan Yu's staying power may not be as good as Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and he is easily injured, and Chutian's order to Xiahou Yuan is to release cold arrows and consume Guan Yu.

"Zilong, if you go to the enemy Guan Yu, the ring-eyed thief will be handed over to me to deal with!"

Xue Rengui saw that Guan Yu was unstoppable, so he asked Zhao Yun to deal with Guan Yu and fight Zhang Fei in person.

"Good!"

Zhao Yun held the gentian bright silver spear and galloped away, coming and going freely among the ten thousand armies.

The bright silver spear goes to sea like a dragon and picks off a Youzhou raid!

Several spears stabbed at Zhao Yun at the same time, Zhao Yun grabbed these spears with one hand, and with all his strength, he actually ripped off several high-level heavy cavalry!

"Changshan Zhao Zilong is here! Where is Guan Yu?! ”

In order to rescue Xiahou Yuan, Zhao Yun took the initiative to provoke Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was really provoked by Zhao Yun successfully, and dragged the knife to kill Zhao Yun!

The big battle between the five tiger generals of Shu Han broke out, the Qinglong Glaive slashed the gentian bright silver spear, and the two fierce generals who were at the peak of their strength were often hundreds of rounds of confrontation!

Xiahou Yuan, who had fled into the army, reappeared, he saw Guan Yu fighting with Zhao Yun, and thought of Chu Tian's advice to him - archers must look like archers, and if they can release cold arrows, they should not fight in close combat, unless they have the combat power of Xue Rengui or Lu Bu.

Xiahou Yuan took out a king-grade armor-piercing arrow from his quiver, which was a consumable made by craftsman Mo Xie himself, and it entered his soul in one shot.

"Listening to the lord, Guan Yu is easy to be shot."

Xiahou Yuan set up this armor-piercing arrow, which might cost dozens of taels of silver just by minting, on the compound bow, and secretly aimed at Guan Yu, and the bow body of the compound bow trembled violently......

Liu Bei was in the rear army, and when he heard the shouts of killing the vanguard troops of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in front of him fighting with the enemy army, he couldn't help but be shocked and asked for help from the military advisor Wang Meng.

"At this time, only those who die can win. The two generals Wu Han and Tian Yu, the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the two generals Hu Luguang and Gao Su, covered on the left and right flanks to prevent being surrounded by the enemy. My lord and my father-in-law led the rear army to support. ”

Wang Meng quickly deployed, and all the soldiers and horses immediately went to support.

The Wu Han Legion supported Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the Le Yi Legion supported Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, and the two infantry legions joined the melee.

On the left flank, Hu Luguang met Wei Qing's Yulin Legion, while on the right flank, King Lanling met Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Legion.

The scale of the melee grew, and Chutian's Guards Regiment also crossed the river to participate in the battle......

On the orders of Wang Meng, the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer bypassed the main battlefield and took advantage of the night to raid the grain storage land of the Chutian army.

This was Wang Meng's idea to fight Chutian's grain and grass for the second time.

Ashina Sheer's cavalry forced the march at an extremely fast speed, and after learning that Liu Bei's main force was engaged in a battle with Chutian's main force, they immediately attacked.

Suddenly, in the darkness, torches lit one after another, like fire dragons, and the women's army armed with infantry crossbows fired thousands of arrows and shot Ashina Sheer's cavalry!

Ashina Sheer looked around, and there were torches and stray arrows everywhere, and his cavalry turned on their backs.

"Retreat!"

According to Wang Meng's instructions to him, if the attack is unfavorable, he will retreat immediately.

At least a thousand cavalrymen died under the crossbow arrows of the Lady Army!

Li Xiuning led five hundred cavalry, on the hillside, standing high, she pulled out the Tang knife at her waist: "Kill!" ”

Five hundred cavalry took advantage of the terrain to charge, and the horses' hooves galloped like a tiger descending the mountain!

Ashina Sheer's cavalry unit was cut off at the waist!

Li Xiuning personally slashed the oncoming Turkic cavalry, and a smear of blood splashed on his handsome cheeks!

On the other side, Joan of Arc's lieutenant Gil led an army of 20,000 servants, including ten war elephants, to block the enemy's retreat.

This is the ninth-order army that Chu Tian captured from the battlefield of the National War - the ironclad war elephant.

The war elephants, driven by elephant slaves, advanced and trampled the cavalry along the way. The cavalry lost their mobility in front of the ironclad war elephants, and it was only a one-sided slaughter.

If the war elephant is used well, it can also have a surprising effect!

Ashina Sheer held a horse lance, fought bloodily, led the cavalry to storm the war elephant, and used the horse lance in his hand to stab a war elephant in the eye.

The war elephant fell into a rage, trampled everywhere, and overturned Ashina Sheer's war horse!

The half-ton war horse looked extremely strong in front of the four-ton war elephant, and the sharp tusks directly stabbed the war horse to death.

Ashina Sheer landed, a little dizzy, and simply abandoned the war horse, carried out foot combat, and escaped from the gap between the war elephants.

He was afraid of this behemoth, but he didn't expect Chu Zimou to bring war elephants to attack Hebei.
