Chapter 386: The Third National War (1)

In the sky above the battlefield of the national war, the sky was overcast, and the wind was howling, which was depressing.

A city stands on the Gobi, the city wall is broken, the bricks on the outer layer of the rammed earth city wall fall off, and the rammed earth wall appears cracks, spreading like a spider web.

30,000 Han troops appeared in the city, and the civilians in the city looked at the incoming legions in panic. The neatly armored Yan Jia and Wei Wushu held a halberd shield and stared at each other. The Tiger Ben Army and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are accompanied by people and horses, covered with iron armor, condescending, and majestic mountains and rivers!

The soldiers of the Xiliu Battalion were light infantry, equipped with iron armor, but their armor was lighter than that of the Wei soldiers with three layers of armor.

"This is the Gobi?"

Chu Tian looked around, the buildings in the city were mainly rammed earth houses, the sky was gloomy, the visibility was not high, and the entire battlefield was gloomy.

If the place of birth is random, Chu Tian was born in the Gobi terrain, and his luck is bad.

"Count the population and resources now! Zhou Yafu, you lead your soldiers to climb the city wall to prevent the enemy from sneaking up. ”

The Han army occupied the entire city. This city is their initial resource, and with the resources they can be resupplied on the battlefield of the national war.

The fine willow camp guarded the city, and Chu Tian entered the somewhat dilapidated city lord's mansion.

"Ding! The third national war begins, which lasts for six months, and each civilization is invited to compete for the five main cities as much as possible within six months. ”

"Ding! In order to protect the weak civilization, the large civilization with more than 10 cities at the beginning is in a dilapidated state. ”

"Ding! The battlefield of the National War is surrounded by the ocean, and the spawn place of the civilization with the sailor is close to the sea, so naval battles can be fought. ”

"Ding! The topographic map of the national war has been released. ”

A series of system reminders attracted Chu Tian's attention.

No wonder the city owned by Chu Tian is so dilapidated.

Chu Tian thought that it was his own bad luck, and it turned out to be the favoritism of the national war for the weak civilization. In short, the cities of large civilizations are difficult to defend and encourage attack, while the cities of small civilizations are strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, increasing the survival time of small civilizations. Otherwise, the princes of the small civilization will be eliminated at the beginning of the national war.

Chu Tian also obtained a map. This map is not detailed, but Chutian can basically understand the terrain of the battlefield of the national war.

The battlefield of the national war was two islands, large and small. The island is bordered by the Gobi to the west, jungles to the south, grasslands to the north, and plains to the east and center. The four main cities, located on the edge of the central plain, are quadrangular in shape. There is also a main city on a separate island.

Between the two large and small islands is the ocean, and a naval battle may break out in order to fight for the fifth main city on the island.

Chutian could determine that the Han Empire's civilization was in the Gobi to the west. This was not a very good terrain for the Han Empire. It's better than being born in the jungle, though.

"Joan of Arc, send Iron Eagle scouts to reconnoiter for a hundred miles in the four directions of the southeast, south, and northwest, meet the Han army city, mark the location and terrain, and come back to report to me."

Chu Tian instructed Joan of Arc who was following him. Mulan could not participate in this national war, and Joan of Arc replaced Mulan and was in charge of the investigation.

"Yes."

Eight hundred Iron Eagle scouts carried enough dry food and galloped in all directions to conduct reconnaissance.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other Wenchen quickly took over the city.

Fang Xuanling held an account book: "The account book of the City Lord's Mansion shows that this city has a total population of 300,000, and the military food can be used by 100,000 people for six months, and if war horses are included, the food consumption may be even greater." The arsenal consisted of 5,000 bows and crossbows, 3,000 pairs of armor, 5,000 swords and shields, 20,000 spears, 5,000 horses, 50,000 armor-piercing arrows, and 1,000,000 ordinary arrows. The source of water is well water, which comes from the ground. It is recorded that ten miles north of the city, there was a river. ”

"This city has a lot of armaments, and it can recruit a number of low-level troops...... Immediately recruit 5,000 crossbowmen, led by Liang Hongyu. There were 20,000 low-level infantry, led by Cao Ren and the generals of Manzhong. There were 5,000 low-level light cavalry, led by Xu Rong, Xiahou Yuan and others. ”

"Arrange for the warcraftsman to produce high-grade infantry crossbows to recruit Jianyan crossbowmen."

"Select qualified soldiers in the whole city and recruit a women's army."

"Requisition the entire city of military craftsmen and blacksmith shops, and give priority to the creation of arrows. In addition, you can craft high-level equipment to recruit high-level troops. ”

"The rest of the strong men have become village warriors and are responsible for escorting grain and grass."

Chutian immediately mobilized resources and wantonly recruited troops and produced armaments. The whole city is running efficiently, and all the inhabitants are thrown into the war.

This city doesn't need to be built, just squeeze all the war potential and win! This is the war of nations!

It often takes two or three months to recruit high-level troops, and the recruitment speed of low-level troops is the fastest, so Chu Tian recruited 30,000 low-level soldiers in one go to get through the early stage.

Li Xiuning selected a thousand suitable soldiers in the city and trained them to become a women's army, which took two months.

"Unlike the Overworld, the soldiers recruited here start at level 40."

Li Xiuning, who was in charge of recruitment, mentioned the matter to Chutian.

Soldiers recruited in the Overworld start at level 10 and are all new recruits, who need to train for more than half a year before they can go into battle. The battlefield of the national war is different, and the level of recruited soldiers is directly 40, which is between new recruits and veterans, and they can directly enter the war.

"Urgent!"

The Iron Eagle scouts sent to the north to reconnoiter were the first to return, breaking in through the city gates without stopping!

Chu Tian thought that he would not be able to obtain the complete information until the next day, but he didn't expect that in less than two hours, the Iron Eagle scout would have already come back to report.

"There is indeed a river ten miles to the north, and on the other side of the river is a city. I waited to cross the river and found that it was not the city of our Han Empire! ”

"Do you know which civilization it is?"

"I don't know, there are brothers on the other side of the river to investigate, just to find out, immediately come back and report to the lord. It's just that...... The other party also found our traces. ”

The news brought by the Iron Eagle Scout was very shocking, the cities of other civilizations were only ten miles away from Chutian's cities, separated by a river!

In this way, his city is located on the edge of the Han Empire's civilization.

Chu Tian had a vague understanding of his position.

All the princely cities of the Han Empire civilization are located next to each other, with a total of 22 cities, plus the soldiers and horses brought by each prince, with a population of more than 7 million.

There are many cities, and there must be cities that will be adjacent to other civilizations, and Chutian's city is close to an unknown civilization.

"Macedonia, Persia, Germany, Indo-Mughal, Ottoman, Arab, North American...... These are not civilizations to be messed with. ”

Before participating in the national war, Chu Tian had a rough understanding of various civilizations, and knew that some civilizations were not very easy to provoke.

For example, in the Arab Empire, their imperial believers regard death as their home, and even if they defeat them, they will lose a lot of money themselves. There is also North America, although there are no decent historical heroes in North America, but North America has a very special class of troops and a large population, which is equivalent to a powerful barbarian.

The lords of each civilization all carry scout troops comparable to the level of Iron Eagle Scouts, and at the same time that Iron Eagle Scouts discovered each other, the other party also discovered Iron Eagle Scouts, and both sides carefully spied on each other.

"Their armor system should be the cavalry of the Han Empire!"

"Damn, why is it that we are in the south of the Han Empire!"

Choi Jae-sun, the lord of Goryeo, was familiar with the armor of the Han Empire, but when he saw the armor of the Eastern Han cavalry, his face turned pale.

There are only two cities in the Goryeo Kingdom, and there are twenty-two cities in the Han Empire, and the two sides are not at the same level at all!

Although the initial city of Goryeo was stronger because of the protection mechanism, Choi Jae-sun did not think that the two cities could stop the expedition of the Eastern Han Empire.

Cui Zaishan looked at his hero, Yizhi Wende, who defeated the Sui army: "Now we are not the opponent of the Han Empire, but I am not willing to leave the battlefield of the national war, what should I do?" ”

Ezhi Wende replied: "The Han Empire is powerful, and the surrounding civilizations are afraid of it, so they can rely on other great civilizations to compete with the Han Empire. Other civilizations, once they know that the Han Empire is nearby, will always accept us, regardless of whether they have hatred for the Han Empire or not. ”

"Send out scouts immediately and contact the surrounding civilizations! Tell Li Minzhe, let's put aside our grievances for the time being and join forces, the other party is the Han Empire, and I can't do anything alone. If he helps me in this war, I can spare his life in the Overworld, or I will kill him and his family once I unify Goryeo! ”

Choi Jae-sun's eyes were fierce. He learned that the south side of the river was the Han Empire, and he hated and feared it. In the face of the Han Empire, the two cities of Goryeo could not resist its soldiers!

The Iron Eagle scout brings back a captive.

"We are waiting to ambush outside the city, capture this person alive, according to torture, for the lord of the Goryeo Kingdom!"

"It's the Goryeo stick again......"

Chu Tian thought it was Rome, Macedonia, Mughal and other civilizations, but he didn't expect it to be the lord of Goryeo.

The Han Empire had already discovered before the start of the war that there were only two lords in Goryeo, so there was nothing to fear.

At the beginning of the second national war, Chutian crushed Li Minzhe, the second lord of Goryeo, and this time the road was narrow, and Chutian encountered the lord of Goryeo again.

"The other party has been on guard, will I go alone to attack the cities of Goryeo, or will I join up with the other princes?"

Chutian was faced with an important choice.

To the north of the river, there may have been two Goryeo cities, and there may have been other civilizations. If Chu Tian went to attack the city alone, he would have to leave part of his troops to defend the city.

It will also take a while for low-level troops to be recruited, and Chutian only has 30,000 soldiers and horses available. If 10,000 are left to defend the city, only 20,000 will be available. Two Goryeo cities, with an initial 60,000 soldiers and horses, and the city is strong.

20,000 against 60,000 Goryeo and two fortified cities could turn into meat grinders.

If you unite with other Eastern Han Dynasty princes and send more than 100,000 troops to capture the cities of Goryeo, it is naturally very simple.

Do it alone or unite with other princes?

Chu Tian summoned his advisers to analyze the benefits and disadvantages.

Xun You thought for a while: "The lord is unwilling to attack the fortified city and lose too much, so he can use the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole." ”

"How do you lure a snake out of a hole?"

"So ...... so"

Xun You trayed out his scheme, and Chu Tian's eyes lit up.

"All the armies rest, go out of the city tonight, and inflict heavy damage on the lord of the Goryeo Kingdom!"

Chu Tian learned that the other party was a prince of Goryeo, and Xun Yu had a plan, and evil was born in guts.

Theoretically, Chutian united with other princes to attack Goryeo, which was the least difficult. But Chu Tian had to do the opposite, so that he could attack him unprepared.

"Zhou Yafu, Li Guang, Cao Ren, Man Chong and others led six thousand fine willow battalions and a group of villagers to defend the city."

Chu Tian only left 6,000 elites to defend the city, thinking that it was enough to hold on.

Then, Chu Tian ordered the warsmiths to build a cloud ladder, and the 24,000 elites were fed and drunk, and then they fell asleep and prepared to send troops at night.

In the middle of the twenty-two cities of the Han Empire, the old Qin Guang sent scouts: "Order all the princes to come here to discuss, divide the troops into two routes, and seize the west main city, as well as the fifth main city on the island." We're going to take at least one main city this time, and if possible, it's best to take two at the same time! ”

The scout cavalry of the 22nd princes of the Han Empire galloped across the battlefield, passing messages to each other.

"How is this the Gobi? Where are the lords of the Han Empire? ”

Catherine looked into the distance, and everywhere there was the Gobi and yellow sand. Behind her, elite Cossack cavalry, Polish hussars were ready to attack.

Adjutant Sophia said to Catherina: "Lord Duke, other lords are about to come to discuss the matter. There is an urgent report from the lord that to the south of us is the mighty Ottoman Empire. We are enemies of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and must do everything in our might. ”

"I see."

When night falls, it's a good time for a sneak attack. The Tiger Army, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Tun Cavalry Battalion, and the heavy cavalry with complete armor and horse armor were the first to go out of the city. Mu Guiying held a pear flower gun and walked at the forefront of the Tiger Army. Hua Xiong dragged a big knife, his head held high, and he was majestic.

Because of the special bow and crossbow hero Liang Hongyu, Chu Tian thought twice about letting Liang Hongyu temporarily command the shooting battalion, and Tai Shici went to command the Tun cavalry battalion.

Tai Shi Ci held a longbow in his hand and carried an arrow bag with a well-forged armor-piercing arrow inside.

Le Yi's Yan Jia and Pang Juan's Wei Wushu followed closely behind the heavy cavalry, and the two steel torrents were Chutian's hole cards.

Liang Hongyu led the shooting battalion and prepared rockets for burning the fortified facilities.

Cao Cao and Cao Chun led a thousand tigers and leopards to ride, and Cao Cao set out for the first time as a military general.

"Our four tiger generals of the Northern Army, this battle will definitely kill the generals and capture the flag, and it will shock the whole sea!"

Mi Fang summoned Wu Anguo, Lu Kuang, and Xing Daorong to mobilize morale, Wu Anguo, Lu Kuang, and Xing Daorong were full of enthusiasm, eager to immediately break through the enemy city and make great achievements!

"It's good that young people have energy."

Chen Qingzhi, Wei Qing, Le Yi and other commanders couldn't help but envy their energy when they saw the four tiger generals of the Northern Army screaming. Among them, Chen Qingzhi is already in his forties, and his force is not as good as Mi Fang and Lu Kuang among the four tiger generals.

Chu Tian rode a war horse, accompanied by Dian Wei and Joan of Arc.

"Where is France ......"

Joan of Arc muttered quietly, she was bent on escaping back to France, but when she arrived at the battlefield of the national war, it was not the same at all. French civilization does not know where. She could only follow Chu Tian's army to fight.

"You still want to go back to France?"

Chu Tian seemed to see her thoughts.

"Nothing ......"

Joan of Arc dodged her eyes, but her expression couldn't hide what was in her heart.

Chu Tian pondered for a while, and he even considered using the proposal of summer coolness.

The two lords of Goryeo did not expect a Han army to attack them at the beginning of the national war......
