Chapter 154: Surprise Attack on Langya City (100 Monthly Pass)
"The officers and soldiers are coming!"
In Kaiyang County, a cottage where the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army were entrenched was attacked by Xue Rengui, the new military general of Xiacheng.
In order to cultivate Xue Rengui, Chu Tian ordered him to lead his troops to attack the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army for the first time.
There are still many remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou, but it is not a climate, which is suitable for Xue Rengui to sharpen.
Chutian allocated 300 infantry and 200 archers to Xue Rengui to besiege a large Yellow Turban Army cottage. This Yellow Turban Army cottage has about 800 young people.
Xue Rengui, who was dressed in white and brightly armored, led five hundred soldiers to attack the cottage on his back, showing off his might.
Chu Tian gave Xue Rengui a gold-level longbow in the spoils of war.
"The thief will come out and die!"
The fledgling Xue Rengui stepped forward alone and called for battle under the cottage.
"Big brother, the officers and soldiers are calling for battle, should we go out and kill him?"
"Fool, the officers and soldiers took the initiative to call for battle, they must have confidence in themselves, thinking that we would be stupid enough to send us to death like little minions? We have enough food, and as long as we can't hold on, they can't do anything about us. ”
"However, the officers and soldiers began to attack the city."
The remnants of the Yellow Turban Army saw the Xuzhou infantry carrying a ladder and attacking the cottage under the cover of archers!
The opponent's white-clothed young man held the longbow and personally pressed the formation.
Two hundred longbows threw a rain of arrows, and many Yellow Turban soldiers were directly killed by the opponent's sharp arrows.
"Defend the gate!"
The leader of the Yellow Turban commanded with a ring-headed knife, and a stray arrow hit him in the forehead. The leader of the Yellow Turban was killed directly!
The other Yellow Turban leaders were shocked when they saw the big boss being killed by an arrow, and they couldn't help but take a few steps backwards.
Another arrow came over, and a small leader was sniped by Xue Rengui!
Now all the little Yellow Turban leaders fled.
Xue Rengui's archery skills terrified them.
The cottage that lacked the command of the leader fell under the attack of the Xuzhou foot archers, Xue Rengui rushed into the cottage first, and Fang Tian drew a halberd and slashed, killing several Yellow Turban soldiers along the way.
The remaining Yellow Turban army surrendered in fear, and Xue Rengui captured all the prisoners, farm tools, and ploughing cattle, and then burned the cottage and returned to Xia City.
Several generals in Xia Cheng are raising troops and horses and are assembling.
Xue Rengui returned to Xia Cheng and found that everyone was preparing for battle, and he couldn't help but wonder.
"A total of 1,871 prisoners, 12 ploughing cattle, and dozens of iron farming tools."
Xue Rengui went to Fang Xuanling, who was in charge of counting military merits, to report on his military exploits.
His qualifications were the youngest among the generals in Xia City, and Chu Tian intended to let him make military merits in order to be promoted to captain of the guards.
"Strategist, the soldiers and horses in the city are mobilized, does the lord plan to go on the expedition?"
"Next, you don't have to continue the crusade against the bandits, serve as the lord's guard."
Fang Xuanling did not answer directly, but asked Xue Rengui to find Chutian.
Chu Tian personally put on his armor, and this time he was going to attack Langya City.
The lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty have already set off a wave of attacking the counties, and whoever is one step ahead can occupy a greater advantage.
When Xue Rengui found Chu Tian to report, Chu Tian rode on a Turkic war horse and prepared to set out.
"You're back, and the Guards are handed over to your commander."
Chu Tian glanced at Xue Rengui's panel, and now Xue Rengui was already level 27, and his strength had reached 90.
Xue Rengui's upgrade speed is very fast, the first time he hunted, he killed a tiger with his bare hands, and then set out for the first time, killing the leader of the Yellow Turbans, and killing more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers in a row.
Five silver-level heroes, ten bronze-level heroes, and thirty-five foot archers formed a guard of fifty people, following Chutian around him.
With Xue Rengui as the guard, Chu Tian didn't have to worry about being attacked by Wu Sangui again.
Wu Sangui's force is definitely not Xue Rengui's opponent.
Outside the city of Xiacheng, Hua Mulan, Zhou Yafu, Li Guang, Liu Sandao, and Chen Dao led their respective soldiers and horses, a total of 8,000 people gathered.
Nearly half of the soldiers and horses are newly recruited recruits, and they have no time to train, so they can only pass the baptism of blood and fire to become an elite division.
Sun Liuwan, a silver-level military general of the sailor battalion, led a sailor battalion of 500 people to anchor by the Yi River. There is a dock in Langya City, and the Sailor Battalion can come in handy.
There is also a Goguryeo heavy cavalry squad on display on the plain, with horses and men wearing heavy armor and holding spears in their hands. The ten Goguryeo heavy cavalry at the front still held the first batch of horse lances produced in Xiacheng.
Chu Tian, who has the trait of "Heavenly Khan", personally led this Goguryeo heavy cavalry, ensuring that they obeyed orders, as well as an additional 10% damage bonus.
Now Chutian can already see the detailed attributes of the Goguryeo heavy cavalry.
[Class]: Goguryeo heavy cavalry
[Rank]: Fourth-order cavalry
[Attack]: 14 [Defense]: 16 [Speed]: 13
[Skill]: Low-level Heavy Cavalry Charge (when initiating a charge, Attack +7, Armor Piercing Damage +10%, the effect disappears when the speed decreases), Low-level Mounted Shooting (When Riding and shooting, the hit rate is slightly increased)
[Characteristics]: Iron Cavalry (When the cavalry general is the main general, attack +2, defense +2, speed +1)
[Military salary]: 2 taels/month (halved for different races)
Heavy cavalry is a tin can that can defeat even high-tier infantry when it charges.
Hua Mulan led five hundred light cavalry, some of which were equipped with Tang swords, and some of which were equipped with Han ring swords.
Li Guang's Archery Battalion was armed with a Zhemu composite longbow, while the Willow Battalion used spears, crossbows, and ring-headed knives.
When these generals saw Chu Tian's arrival, they immediately gathered.
In particular, Hua Mulan, Zhou Yafu, and Li Guang fought side by side with Chutian in the Battle of Anshi City and established a deep relationship.
Mulan's favorability is 85, Zhou Yafu's favorability is 77, and Li Guang's favorability is 71.
Basically, the longer the military commander serves, and there are no disputes and conflicts with the lord, the favorability will gradually increase.
It is said that after the opinion reaches 100, you can bow or ......
"Follow me on the march."
In order to ensure that the operation was not leaked, Chu Tian only explained the plan to a few generals.
More than 8,000 soldiers and horses, under the leadership of Chu Tian, went north again.
An operation of this magnitude could not hide their whereabouts, and many players living in Xia City found that Lord Chu Tian was leading his troops to the battle.
Chutian claimed to be going to crusade against Qi Xiaobai in Yangdu County.
The players of Langya Kingdom now know that Chu Tian and Qi Xiaobai have a feud, and they have fought twice, and they do not doubt it.
Riding Captain Zang Ba for Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian broke the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army and occupied Langya City.
A group of players born in Langya City took refuge in Zang Ba and gave advice to Zang Ba. They encouraged Zang Ba to expand, but Zang Ba was unmoved.
After the end of the First National War, Zang Ba finally had a desire to expand, felt the threat of Chutian to him, and took the initiative to gather diners who took refuge in him.
The players who took refuge in Zang Ba were overjoyed.
Zang Ba has a reputation among the Taishan thieves, as long as he unites all the Taishan thief forces, he may not be able to sweep Qingzhou and Xuzhou.
If they can assist Zang Ba to become the new Xuzhou Thorn History, they will also profit from it.
"Chu Zimou, the lord of Xiacheng, occupies most of the towns in Kaiyang County, with a total of one city and twenty towns, and its power is huge, with an estimated population of 200,000 and more than 10,000 soldiers. Generals should get rid of them as soon as possible. ”
"The general can unite with Changfeng in Yangdu County, Sun Guan in Dongguan County, Sun Kang in Dong'an County, Wu Dun in Qiu County and others to take Xia City together."
"I'm willing to send someone to Xia City to find out the truth."
"The prince will Xiangning have a kind of general, with the posture of a general, attack Xia City, take down Pi, and replace Tao Qian as the assassin of Xuzhou, which is enough to sweep the Eight Wilderness and sweep Liuhe!"
A group of players made suggestions in front of Zang Ba, instigating Zang Ba to lead the Taishan thief forces to chase the Central Plains.
Zang Ba may not be without ambition, but lacks a military advisor with strategic vision, so he has been active in the area of Langya Country and is subordinate to Tao Qian. At this time, there are players who act as dog-headed strategists to help, and their minds are suddenly opened, and they are unwilling to stick to one side.
"Gather all the brothers to come to Langya City to gather and discuss important matters."
Zang Ba made up his mind to chase the Central Plains, and sent several teams of personal soldiers to gather other Taishan bandits.
The leader of the Taishan thieves had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in their hands and occupied the county town in order to obtain money and food.
Once Zang Ba summoned this group of Taishan thieves, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In Yangdu County, the fine work sent by Qi Xiaobai to Xiacheng sent back the news that Chu Tian led more than 8,000 soldiers and horses to the north, and it was very likely that he would crusade against him. Qi Xiaobai couldn't help but panic and found Wu Sangui.
Qi Xiaobai can also piece together more than 8,000 people, but his more than 8,000 people are low-level soldiers and village warriors, and they can't stop Chutian's crusade army at all.
This time, Chutian's army is even more grand, and I am afraid that the Taishan thief Changfeng may not be Chutian's opponent.
Hearing Qi Xiaobai's worries, Wu Sangui paced uneasily.
He suffered a lot of losses at the hands of the people in Xia Cheng: "Taishan thief Changfeng and several other Taishan thieves are brothers, if he is defeated, the other Taishan thieves will definitely not stand by and let Chu Zimou become bigger." If the lord wants to destroy this person, he must do so as soon as possible. ”
"Reasonable, you go to lobby Chang Feng and get rid of Chu Zimou as soon as possible, I've had enough."
Qi Xiaobai was a little hysterical.
Chu Tian defeated his offensive twice in a row, and this time it was Chu Tian's turn to take the initiative to launch an offensive, and he was very passive.
In Xueyue Town, Lord Xueyue gathered 10,000 soldiers and village warriors: "This time we must block the offensive of Qi Xiaobai and Chang Feng and buy time." ”
"Yes!"
Langya City, which is in a peaceful state on the surface, is actually surging undercurrent.
In the lobby of the Wolf Guild, dozens of free player leaders gathered, including the vice president Xiaopang, whom Chu Tian knew.
"You all chose to join the Wolf Guild because you admired the reputation of the First Lord. Our president has decided to take refuge in Xia City, and this is the name of our Wolf Guild. Take Langya City, all of us are heroes. ”
"A total of 500 people participated in this operation, and we were divided into four squads, two of which set fire to the West Gate and the North City Gate, with the main team with the highest force capturing the South Gate, and a team composed of players with bowing skills who were responsible for ambushing reinforcements supporting the South Gate. There must be no mistakes in the whole process, otherwise we may be captured and executed by Zang Ba, understand? ”
Five hundred players of the Wolf Guild formed four undercurrents in the city and gathered at the predetermined location.
A year ago, many freelancers would collapse as soon as they entered the battle, even inferior to low-level troops.
A year later, some freelancers have experienced the baptism of war and gradually become familiar with the cruelty of the battlefield, and they will not collapse easily.
Xueyue selected 500 freelancers from the thousands of freelancers in the Wolf Guild with the highest strength, and at the same time went to the battlefield, especially freers who had participated in the national war, to capture Langya City.
The freelancers who participated in the national war had a high degree of recognition for Chutian because they obeyed orders under Chutian.
Chutian promised that after the matter was completed, he could give these 500 people a reward.
A large city, with a treasury and granary, must have had a lot of savings.
The defenders of Zang Ba and Langya City have not yet realized the power of free players, and if they are placed in the Warring States, this group of free players is equivalent to eaters and rangers. When they come together, they can do something unexpected.
Xia Cheng is under the banner of crusading against Qi Xiaobai in Yangdu County, and it is getting closer and closer to Langya City. The Zang Ba army in Langya City seemed to sense that something was wrong, and began to close the city gate tightly and increase the number of troops guarding the gate.
Chu Tian issued an order: "Speed up the march, and the cavalry will carry out a surprise attack!" ”
Chu Tian took Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui to lead the cavalry to speed up the march, non-stop, and attacked Langya City!
Li Guang, Zhou Yafu, and Liu Sandao and their troops also began to march forcibly, and the dust was rolling.
At the south gate of Langya City, there are about more than 200 Xuzhou light infantry stationed, and there is a row of Xuzhou archers on the city wall, and the city gate is closed.
"Who are you?"
The officers defending the city saw a group of strangers gathering at the south gate and brought people over to disperse.
Suddenly, billowing black smoke rose from the west and north gates, and there was a commotion!
The defenders of the south city gate looked in the direction of the west city gate and the north city gate, which were full of flames, and suddenly said that something was wrong.
A row of crossbow arrows was fired, and more than a dozen Xuzhou light infantry were shot and fell to the ground.
"Kill!"
The team with the highest force draws their swords and attacks the defenders of the South Gate!
The defenders of the south gate were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties for a while.
……
A group of cavalry appeared outside the south gate, saw the black smoke curling in the city, and knew that the free players who were ambushed in the city had launched an attack on the defenders of Langya City.
The strong city walls blocked Chutian's cavalry, and at this time, they could only wait for the free players to succeed before the cavalry could drive straight in.
Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui rode Turkic war horses, and the war horses pouted their hooves restlessly.
"If they can't get it, the surprise attack becomes a storm. At that time, we will have to face the attack of various forces in Xuzhou. ”
Chu Tian was a little apprehensive.
With his current strength, he really can't capture Langya City, which is defended by the historical military general Zang Ba. The majestic city wall was enough to block Chu Tian for half a year or even a year.
"My lord, the gates of the city have been opened!"
Chu Tian was reminded by Xue Rengui, and the south city gate was really pushed open by more than a dozen people, and one of them waved the red dragon flag to signal to Chu Tian.
"Kill!"
Chu Tian pulled out the Tang knife and ordered Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui to lead the cavalry to drive straight in!
Five hundred light cavalry slaughtered into the city, and the horses' hooves rolled!
Mulan is once again equipped with the terrifying horse lance and takes the lead!
The defenders of Langya City found that the south gate was opened, and urgently sent more than 1,000 people to seize the city gate, but they were ambushed by the team of the Wolf Guild, delaying the best time.
When they repelled the ambush team and resisted the South City Gate, Hua Mulan and Xu Rengui's light cavalry had already killed, Hua Mulan waved the horse lance, and the head of a Xuzhou light infantry was directly cut off!
All the defenders of Langya City retreated in fear, and in the narrow terrain, the opponent's force was simply terrifying!
A white-clothed young general in the rear killed, Fang Tian's halberd was like an iron plow, and everywhere he went, the defenders of Langya City were strewn with corpses!
