Nanyang County, Wancheng, Jingzhou army stretched for dozens of miles, Yang Yanzhao was the vanguard, and was welcomed into the city by the Yuzhou army of the Tang Dynasty.

A Wenchen said to Yang Yanzhao: "In the Lower Wei Zheng, on the orders of the lord, wait for reinforcements in this city. ”

Yang Yanzhao dismounted: "Time is in a hurry, and I only have time to mobilize 150,000 troops. ”

"150,000 is a lot."

Wei Zheng thought that all the princes were busy dealing with their enemies, and they all prevaricated, and only Jingzhou really sent a large army, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Hardship sees the truth.

Han Shizhong, Wu Jue, Pan Mei and other legions also arrived one after another.

"Are there any other reinforcements besides us?"

Yang Shilang was a little surprised when he saw that Tang had sent Wei Zheng to Wancheng.

Wei Zheng replied: "Guanzhong sent the general Zhou Bo to lead 30,000 troops out of Wuguan, and he will soon resist Nanyang. ”

"Zhou Bo? If he didn't send Lu Bu and Wang Jian over, how could he be Chu Zimou's opponent? ”

Yang Shilang frowned, he also thought that the old Qin would send generals at the level of Lu Bu and Wang Jian as reinforcements. Although Zhou Bo is good, he cannot be Chu Tian's opponent.

Wei Zheng was quite helpless about this: "This is exactly what I am worried about. I also asked Nanjun Taishou to go to the rescue quickly. ”

Yang Shilang hesitated, didn't he let Lao Qin go to conspire with Chu Zi to consume?

"Wait for Zhou Bo to arrive, and then march together. Prior to this, all the population of Nanyang County was relocated to Wancheng or Xinye. ”

Yang Shilang thought that it was necessary to bring Zhou Bo and at the same time frantically rob the population of Nanyang County.

The fertile soil of the Nanyang Basin can feed a large number of people, which is also one of the purposes of Yang Shilang's Northern Expedition.

If one million people could be looted to Xiangyang, then the Northern Expedition would not be a loss.

Wei Zheng sensed Yang Shilang's intentions, and although he was unhappy in his heart, he did not expose Yang Shilang's methods. He also had to rely on Yang Shilang's reinforcements to relieve the siege.

As for whether Yang Shilang is reliable, that's another story......

Yang Shilang was delayed in Wancheng for a period of time, and Zhou Bo led 30,000 Chinese troops out of Wuguan, and returned to Wancheng and Jingzhou to chase the Central Plains!

In Zhou Bo's army, there was also a heavy infantry equipped with war horses, which was as sharp as a sword out of the sheath.

Yang Shilang's pupils shrank: "Gao Shun? ”

"Kill!!"

The mighty white-robed army is crisscrossing Chenliu County and Yingchuan County in Pingchuan, and the Yuzhou army has no danger to defend!

The counties of Weishi, Fugou, and Yanling were all captured by the white-robed army, and they were like broken bamboos!

Chutian's troops focused on cavalry, which was strange among the princes of the Central Plains who did not have many war horses......

The main reason is that Chutian has a thick foundation, there are gold mines to buy horses, and war horses are obtained through national wars and other ways, which leads to the cavalry becoming the main force.

Guo Ziyi knew that the number of war horses he had was far inferior to Chutian, so he did not choose to fight with Chutian in the plain terrain, and he did not dare to fight.

Guo Ziyi camped on the outskirts of Xu County, and had already seen the soldiers of the white-robed army.

More than 20,000 war horses crisscrossed the plain, all white horses and white robes, galloping vertically and horizontally, and the sand and dust were rolling, with no end in sight.

Guo Ziyi and the defenders on the city wall couldn't help but sweat when they saw the cloud-like white horse cavalry.

If it's just a large number of war horses, forget it, the key is that all the 20,000 war horses are white horses!

Taking out so many white horses in one breath is even more exaggerated than the white horse general Gongsun Zhan.

"What a terrible cavalry ......"

Even if Guo Ziyi has the ability to command soldiers and horses, he is powerless in the face of absolute strength.

"Phew!"

Zhao Yun restrained the war horse, and the horse raised its hooves.

The white-robed army went all the way south, and there was no opponent at all.

Xue Rengui and Chen Qingzhi arrived from the rear and stood side by side. Behind them, the mighty white horses collectively slowed down and gradually stopped, and the scene was spectacular.

There are commanders of Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun, and more than 20,000 cavalry, no problem. Now Chen Qingzhi's command value has reached 95, even if he commands more than 20,000 cavalry alone, it is more than enough.

"Wait for the offensive corps to arrive."

Chen Qingzhi thought about it for a while, and did not forcibly attack the city, but waited for the "offensive army" that was best at attacking the city to arrive. The offensive corps has two siege types of generals, Le Yi and Le Jin, which are called "siege two music" in the Chutian army.

"My lord, there is an urgent report from Jizhou."

Joan of Arc rode over, with Mulan's war eagle resting on her shoulder.

When marching in the field, it is not possible to use the player-to-player communication system, and can only pass information through cavalry.

"Yuan Shao sent someone to assassinate Zhao Long?"

Chu Tian read the news from the Yecheng spies.

The information transmitted by the war eagle was only a small note each time, and it was difficult for Chu Tian to judge the specific process, probably because Yuan Shao failed to assassinate Zhao Long, and Zhao Long raised troops to besiege Yecheng.

"Yuan Shao is going to be replaced by Zhao Long. Zhao Long was really patient, and he took advantage of my attack on Yuzhou. ”

After reading the note, Chu Tian could only say that Zhao Long was also a smart person, and he was waiting for Chu Tian to fight Yuzhou.

If Chutian doesn't fight Yuzhou, he won't do it.

According to Chutian's strategy, Tang Tang, who could threaten Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Huainan at the same time, would definitely be the first target to attack, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it, and Zhao Long could also see it.

This is a conspiracy, and Chu Tian cannot give up the opportunity to unify the Central Plains in order to confront Zhao Long.

Lao Qin is fighting Liangzhou, Tongque is fighting Jiangdong, Zhao Long and Yuan Shaohuo are together, and not many people are willing to support Tang.

It can be said that Chu Tian is about to get his chance, and Zhao Long is also going to have his chance.

How far is Zhao Long's Handan from Yecheng?

The infantry march did not take a few days to arrive.

So even if Chu Tian intervenes, it will be too late.

However, Chutian would not make Zhao Long feel better, he already had a little idea before the crusade against Yuzhou: "Order Zhou Yafu's defensive army to turn to the offensive, with Li Guang as the deputy general and Du Ruhui as the military division, cross the Yellow River, and attack Liyang on the north bank." Then he hoarded food and troops in Liyang to strengthen the city defenses. ”

"Yes."

Joan of Arc soon wrote a note, which Warhawk sent to the East Shire. Joan of Arc lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty for two years and learned basic Chinese.

Although the name of the legion of Zhou Yafu and others is "defensive", in fact, there is Li Guang, the attack is also very stable, and Du Ruhui serves as a military advisor.

In addition to being crushed by the opponent with an absolute superiority in strength, Zhou Yafu will not be defeated.

Of course, if 300,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhou attacked Zhou Yafu, Zhou Yafu would probably have to flee and flee back to the south of the Yellow River.

The Yellow River is the best line of defense.

After ordering Zhou Yafu to carry out a defensive counterattack and intervening in the dispute of Jizhou, Chutian continued to attack Yuzhou.

Whether Zhou Yafu can gain a firm foothold north of the Yellow River depends on Zhou Yafu's own ability. An infantry legion, Chu Tian thought he could consume it.

In addition to the indetailed note from the war eagle, Chutian also asked Xia Liang to draw up a detailed strategic arrangement for Zhou Yafu to be sent by the cavalry.

Unlike the Song Dynasty, which strictly stipulated what formation the generals should use, Chutian did not interfere in tactics, and the so-called generals were not subject to military orders. Chu Tian's order was just to tell Zhou Yafu what strategic goals his army wanted to achieve, and what if it could not achieve its strategic goals.

The scout cavalry came back and reported: "Ahead is Yanling, there is a river, and a swamp soaked by the flooded river. The white-robed legions crossed the river, and there were basically no enemies. ”

The information that the warhawk can provide is limited, and the specific terrain still depends on the scout cavalry to explore.

"At this time, at that time, use the warhawk to probe around the swamp, and send a cavalry scout to test it."

Chu Tian was very cautious in the face of the terrain of the swamp.

The topography of Lords is different from reality, and the terrain of ancient times is also different from modern times, as the Yellow River changes course every once in a while, as do some rivers.

Soon two war eagles hovered in the air, and an iron eagle scout team of 100 people crossed the river to reconnoitre.

A cavalry group of about 4,000 people saw the war eagles in the sky, and the faces of the two generals who led the team turned pale.

The role of the war eagle was recognized by the god Sun Bin in the Battle of Jinan, and Chu Tian frequently used the war eagle, so the various princes already knew the role of the war eagle of the Iron Eagle scout.

Once the war eagle is found, it means that his whereabouts have been exposed, especially the 4,000-person cavalry, unless it is completely hidden in the mountains, forests, and valleys, it is possible to avoid the sight of the war eagle.

"Let's go."

Two generals left with a cavalry of 4,000 men.

"The lord is really wise and martial, and the Yuzhou army really set up an ambush in the swamp area. If we cross the river in a hurry, we will definitely be hit by the half-crossing. ”

The Iron Eagle scout who had gone to the other side of the river came back to report to Chu Tian, his eyes full of admiration.

The taboo of the soldiers, half-crossing.

"It is said that Tang is also a capable person, otherwise he would not replace Yuan Shu and sit in Yuzhou."

"Lord, can we march now?"

"The whole army ......"

Chu Tian was about to pull out the camp, and the emperor-level famous sword officer on his waist trembled.

What's going on?

"Lord ......"

Summer Liang shouted softly, and she found that her Mo Evil Sword was also trembling.

The two of them stared at each other, and they didn't know what was going on, could it be that the top ten famous swords had become fine?

"Ding! When you complete the S-rank achievement quest 'Cadre Mo Evil', you will collect the two swordsmiths of Cadre and Mo Evil, and the Cadre and Mo Evil will obtain the Bond trait 'Cadre Mo Evil', and when you recruit special talents, the probability of recruiting Saint-level Swordsmith Ou Yezi will increase. ”

"Ding! You complete the S-Rank achievement quest 'Sword of Love', and you will receive special effects from the Warrior Sword and the Mo Evil Sword. ”

"Ding! The SSS-level achievement quest 'Top 10 Famous Swords' is launched, and you can get special rewards by collecting all the 10 famous swords. ”

Chu Tian received a prompt from the system and asked him to temporarily stop ordering the march.

During Chu Tian's participation in the national war, another swordsmith cadre came to take refuge and had already worked with Mo Ye to build weapons for Chu Tian.

But the achievement task has not been reminded, and now he has suddenly completed the task of "Cadre Mo Xie", and at the same time has completed the S-class task "Sword of Love".

This S-Class quest is part of the Treasure Collecting series achievement.

Chu Tian learned that the two swords had obtained new effects, so he pulled out the sword that was a little hot on the sword.

[Name]: Cadre Sword (one of the top ten famous swords)

[Quality]: Imperial level

[Effect]: Attack +12, Stab Damage +12%, Slash Damage +12%, Block Ability +12%, has a burning effect on wounds, and the probability of the opponent's injury aggravation increases.

[Special Effect - Beloved Sword]: Couples who hold both the Cadre Sword and the Mo Evil Sword have a small chance of predicting danger within a radius of 10 meters.

When Chu Tian saw the ability of this sword, he couldn't believe it, it even had the effect of "predicting danger".

It's just a small probability, but it's already very practical.

Chu Tian's eyes were on the other side of the river, and he realized that there might be ambushes on the other side.

It was really insidious to say that Tang deliberately exposed an ambush army, so that the Iron Eagle scouts who went to reconnoiter relaxed their vigilance and returned to Xiang Chutian.

There was no problem with Chu Tian's order, but the Iron Eagle scout was confused and mistakenly thought that he was luring out the other party's ambush, so he hurried into the matter.

To deal with the sinister people, Chu Tian also made other arrangements.

"Set up more pontoon bridges, Yanjia, Macedonian spearmen, and Jianyan crossbowmen will take the lead in crossing the river, and I will see if their ambush soldiers can break through the defenses of these troops."

"Dian Wei, you take my handsome banner and pretend that I have crossed the river."

Since the other party has set up an ambush in the swamp area, and concealed the eyes and ears of the Iron Eagle scouts, the number of ambush soldiers must be small, and it is likely that they are cavalry, using the flat ground between the swamps to carry out a surprise attack.

"Yes!"

Dian Wei held the heavy handsome flag in one hand and followed the three generals Le Yi, Joan of Arc, and Liang Hongyu to cross the river with their soldiers and horses.

"Dian Wei is really a fierce man. Huaxiong, you also go to war. ”

Chu Tianjia sent a Huaxiong as a backup.

The handsome flag was extremely heavy, but Dian Wei raised it with one hand, as steady as Mount Tai.

Yan Jia and Jianyan crossbowmen took the lead in crossing the river, Yan Jia was still pushing the carriage, even if the other party suddenly killed, Yan Jia could also put on a moon formation similar to Liu Yu to prevent being attacked by the opponent's cavalry.

In the mountains and forests near the swamp, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, the two commanders of the Xuanjia Army, were squatting and guarding.

Not long ago, the two military officers who took the initiative to expose their whereabouts were He Yi and Liu Bi, the military generals of the Yellow Turban Army, who were just bait. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin are the real main forces.

The poor said that Tang only exchanged 200 Xuanjia troops for two people, not 200 Xuanjia troops for each person, but a total of 200, that is, each person only had 100 Xuanjia army cavalry......

This is not the same as Chu Tian directly exchanging 400 Xuanjia cavalry for Wei Chigong alone.

It can be said that the generals who follow Chutian are treated well, and basically every military general with a special type of military can recruit high-level troops.

Relatively speaking, Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin's conditions are relatively difficult. They could only use 200 cavalry of the Xuanjia Army and 800 high-ranking cavalry of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia in the Tang Dynasty, for an ambush.

If they can use 1,000 high-level cavalry pigs to break through Chu Tian and kill Chu Tian, they can become famous in one battle.

A surprise attack, killing the princes of the first power in the Eastern Han Dynasty, will shock the Eastern Han Dynasty!

This is equivalent to the Battle of Diaoyu City, the death of the Mongol Great Khan Möngke, the retreat of the Mongol army, and the battle of the Toei Warring States Barrel Sasama, Oda Nobunaga with a surprise attack team of 2,000 people, using the cover of heavy rain, to raid the main camp of the daimyo Yoshimoto Imagawa who was ten times stronger than his own, and killed Imagawa Yoshimoto.

However, the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is cruel. If you want to succeed in a surprise attack, the most important thing is luck.

"The other party's handsome flag has crossed the river!"

The 1,000 cavalrymen who were in ambush found that Shuai Qi, which symbolized Chutian's location, crossed the river, and immediately shook their spirits.

Fighting head-on, they can't beat it, and they can only rely on sneak attacks, which is their only chance to turn defeat into victory.
