In Qu County, Xuzhou, the warships of the Jiangdong Army appeared on the sea, and the merchants and civilians in Qu County were all panicked.

The number of ships of the Koto Army reached thousands!

The huge building ship undulated on the sea, and hundreds of armor soldiers stood on the decks of the building ship, the cold light.

Tong Que stood on the city wall with Zhou Yu and Xie Xuan, and they could see hundreds of merchant ships in the port of Quxian County, as well as the panicked people at the dock.

"Xuzhou is Chu Zimou's basic plate, and its main force was transferred to the Central Plains to attack Jingxiang, which is a good opportunity to attack Xuzhou and Qingzhou."

Tongque's Jiangdong sailors were also rampant in the coastal areas.

Zhou Yu, Succession, and Lü Meng, as military generals of the naval division, have a bonus to the fleet, improve the fleet's navigation ability, and reduce losses during the voyage.

"Evacuate to the city!"

The Mi family, the head of the Hao family in Qu County, was in the port, preparing to lead a merchant fleet to Dongying for trade.

When he saw the Suzaku battle flag of the Jiangdong Army appear, Mi Zhu's face turned pale.

As one of the high-ranking members of the Xia Army, Mi Zhu naturally knew the banner of the Wu Army.

The Fubo army was on a crusade against Goryeo at this time, and it was impossible for them to appear here.

The large merchant ship that was originally loaded with goods was abandoned by Mi Zhu and a group of merchants, and the strong man broke his wrist.

If he is captured by the Wu army, he may be killed or extorted by the Wu army.

As a commercial port, there are basically no fortifications in Qu County, because Chutian believes that offense is the best defense.

This is also the first time that Qu County has been attacked by the enemy.

In the face of the Wu army's at least 200,000 soldiers and horses, with a few hundred city defense troops in Qu County, they were unable to defend at all.

It's not so much a city defense army, but a government service, which maintains law and order in peacetime.

In the teleportation array of Qu County, the first batch of 500 women's troops who were teleported came out of it, and Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang, strode and led the women's army to take over the county government of Qu County.

Li Xiuning was named the Central Protector by Chu Tian, and he was already a high-ranking member of the Praetorian Guard, and in the event of a war, Li Xiuning's rank was much greater than that of the county order, and he could even order the assassination of Shi.

"Lord Zhonghujun, Wu Jun...... The Wu army has thousands of warships, at least 100,000 people! We only have 500 low-level soldiers in Qu County, and less than 100 war horses, so we can't defend at all! ”

At this time, the county magistrate's face was not just pale, but bloodless.

For a long time, the county order of Qu County only needs to develop the economy, but this time the strong enemy attacked, and Qu County was in danger.

Li Xiuning came to reassure people: "There is no need to panic, the teleportation arrays of the counties of Xuzhou have been occupied by King Xia, and tens of thousands of reinforcements are gathering to Qu County, and they will definitely keep this city." ”

Mi Zhu also came to the county office: "Our Mi family is willing to donate 1 million taels of silver for military supplies, and recruit another 3,000 strong men to defend the city." ”

The county magistrates of Qu County couldn't help but be moved.

That's 1,000,000 taels of silver!

Mi Zhu was threatened because of the threat of Qu County, where Mi's family was located, and directly donated one million taels of silver to defend Qu County.

The arrogance of the Mi family is second to none in Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are in a high position in Chutian's power, and Chutian intends to hand over Dongying's trade to the Mi family to take care of, so the Mi family is rich and rivals the country, and even the county order in Qu County depends on the face of the Mi family.

Because Li Xiuning is a cold guard in summer, he doesn't need to rely on the Mi family's snort, so he hugged his fists and said: "There is Lord Lao Mi." ”

"Without King Xia, how can there be the prosperity of the Mi family, just one million taels of silver."

Mi Zhu waved his hand.

Compared with the huge finances of Chutian's forces, the Mi family's one million taels of silver is really nothing, and the military salaries and military expenditures of Chutian's forces are as much as 10 million silver every month.

Li Xiuning personally came to defend the city, and the women's army came from the teleportation array one after another.

The number of people that can be teleported by the teleportation array every day is limited, about more than 10,000 people.

The merchant ships anchored in the port were sacked by the Jiangdong Army, and a large amount of cargo was lost.

But compared with their own lives, although Mi Zhu and other businessmen feel sorry for their losses, they still think that their lives are more important.

"Under the development of Chu Zimou, Xuzhou is really rich and rivals the country......"

Tongque's soldiers saw that the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army had robbed the ships of Qu County, and each ship was loaded with goods that were about to be transported to Dongying, and the goods of each merchant ship might be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, or even more.

Xuzhou is now undoubtedly the richest state at the moment, because Chutian has built a large number of special buildings in Langya Country, with various bonuses.

Chu Tian's ambition was not only to unify the Han Empire, but also to control Goryeo, Dongying, and America from Xiacheng, so he never gave up Xiacheng.

Chang'an and Luoyang were located in the hinterland of the Han Empire, and it was the best choice to control the Han Empire, but as the importance of sea control increased, Chutian needed to take a more long-term view.

However, when the enemy changed to the Wu army with a large fleet, the previously peaceful Xuzhou became a battlefield again.

The Jiangdong Navy Division directly bypassed the Jianghuai defense line and approached Langya.

If the Xia City of Langya Kingdom is captured, then, for the Chutian forces, not only will they lose a giant city, but also the morale of all the legions will drop.

"Just the looted merchant ships of Xuzhou are enough to make up for the military expenses of the Northern Expedition. The Northern Jiangsu Plain is conducive to cavalry action, and even if it captures this place, it is difficult to hold on. We went to attack the hilly areas in the eastern part of Langya, which was good for our infantry and crossbows to defend. ”

Tongque gave up attacking Qu County, believing that the Northern Jiangsu Plain was easy to attack and difficult to defend.

This is also the most troublesome part of the Northern Expedition, even if Xuzhou is captured, it is difficult to defend.

However, Tongque also has a choice, and that is the hilly terrain of Shandong.

The news of the Jiangdong sailors' attack on Quxian and the looting of merchant ships spread to the entire Xuzhou, and the people were panicked for a while.

Xuzhou has not had a beacon fire for ten years!

In Xihai County in the east of Langya Kingdom, tens of thousands of Beifu troops came ashore and easily captured this defenseless county town and threatened Xia City!

The county order of Xihai County had already begun to migrate people to Ju County before the arrival of the Dongwu Naval Division. When the Dongwu Naval Division arrived, the few low-ranking soldiers in the area fled without a fight.

The 600,000 Praetorian Guards originally assembled in Xuchang had to withdraw to Langya State one after another, interfering with Chutian's plan to capture Nanyang County.

"At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu attacked Qi, and the two sides were already fighting on the sea, Tongque wanted to emulate the war between Wu and Qi, attacking Xuzhou and Qingzhou from the sea, forcing me to return to the division to defend and give up attacking Jingzhou. It's all the same as you judged a few days ago. ”

After the disappearance of the Jiangdong Naval Division, the Jiangdong Naval Division had several possible offensive locations.

Chu Tian, Xia Liang, Sun Bin and others all imagined the Jiangdong Navy Division attacking Xuzhou, but when Tongque really crossed the sea to attack Xuzhou and Qingzhou, Chu Tian was still shocked by his generosity.

The current Tongque has a different courage from Sun Quan in history.

Tongque's offensive opened and closed, swallowing Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

"On the battlefield of Goryeo, Marshall of the United States sent the Fire Dragon Legion, and the shogun Oda Nobunaga sent the Shimazu family and the Tachibana family to support the Goryeo king Yi Sung-gye. The counterattack of the Goryeo Kingdom may be extremely ferocious. ”

Not only did the Jiangdong Navy cross the sea to attack Xuzhou, but the war in Goryeo fell into a stalemate stage after the initial devastation.

"We have limited knowledge of the United States, and it seems that we need to buy off a group of United States players to get the information we want, and they may be formidable enemies in the future."

Chu Tian heard about the Fire Dragon Legion for the first time.

In other civilization areas, Chu Tian can also roughly know their strength through the hero rankings.

But in the American Civilization Zone, there are no historical heroes, they only have powerful troops, so it is difficult for Chu Tian to grasp the strength of the American Civilization Zone.

The United States established legions such as dragons, griffins, and crusaders, among which the dragon legions were mainly dragoons.

Tachibana Michiyuki and Shimazu Yoshihiro are okay famous generals, and the Dongei samurai have the characteristics of "bushido", so the combat power of the outbreak is not weak, at least stronger than the soldiers of Goryeo.

Badun was captured on the battlefield of Goryeo, but Chutian didn't think so, because Badun's life or death was not important and would not affect the overall situation.

The injured Xu Sheng was transferred back to Qingzhou by Chutian to recuperate.

"Order Le Yi to capture Xijing as soon as possible, occupy the northern territory of Goryeo, and confront Li Chenggui."

Because of the strong intervention of the United States and the Dongying Shogunate in the Goryeo Kingdom, Chutian would not be able to destroy Li Chenggui for a while, so he retreated and occupied the northern part of the Goryeo Kingdom, dividing the Goryeo Kingdom into two.

The premise of occupying half of the country of Goryeo was that Le Yi could capture Xijing in Goryeo as soon as possible, and use Xijing as the garrison of the Liaodong Army in Goryeo.

The coalition formed by Li Chenggui, Brand, Michiyuki Tachibana, and Yoshihiro Shimazu had already begun to move north to support the Xijing garrison Jiang Hanzan.

In the Goryeo Kingdom, an uprising broke out in the mountain fortress near the city of Uiju and Anju, and Le Yi's retreat was unstable.

So Chutian ordered one after another: "Order Li Mu's Monan Army and Huo An's Mobei Army to go to Goryeo to support Le Yi." ”

Almost all the legions set up by Chu Tian were dispatched to overwhelm the strong enemies.

Chutian's 600,000 Praetorian Guards were divided into two routes, all the way back to Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and all the way to stay in the Central Plains, and Wu Qi attacked Nanyang County.

The fire at Bowangpo disappeared, and the armies of Wu Qi, Wei Wuji, and Cao Ren marched south and marched towards Wancheng.

The reinforcements of Xinye, Xiangyang, and Jiangxia also targeted Wancheng and supported Wancheng in a big way.

The soldiers and horses who have entered Nanyang County one after another are hundreds of thousands!

Chu Tian summoned Wu Qi when he left: "The war in Nanyang County will be handed over to you, take Wancheng and Xinye within half a year, and then go to Xia City to go to me." ”
