"Xiacheng has become a large city, and the price of land has risen again!"

Players in Summer City were ecstatic to find that Summer City had been upgraded to a large city, and many of them lived in Summer City. The more prosperous Xia City became, the higher the land price, and the increase in the value of their property.

In addition to issuing recruitment orders on a daily basis, the Lord's Mansion is also preparing for the fourth imperial examination. Like the previous imperial examinations, the fourth imperial examination was also divided into literary examinations and martial arts examinations, recruiting talents from all over the world.

In order to manage education, Chutian used the ninth-level cultural building "Taixue" to set up a special Taixue institution. Taixue is under the jurisdiction of the Hanlin Academy, which is responsible for training officials; The Department of Education and Correction is responsible for the jurisdiction of county schools; The Department of Imperial Examinations is responsible for the management of imperial examinations......

The Imperial Examination Department began to prepare for this imperial examination very early. Because the scope of the fourth imperial examination covers nearly 20 counties and countries, there may be more than 100,000 people, or even hundreds of thousands, or millions of people participating in the imperial examination, and most of them have an attitude of trying their luck, which increases the burden on the imperial examination department.

The Imperial Examination Department posted notices in all counties, announcing that the imperial examinations would continue as usual in June this year.

There is a risk that special talents will be missed by the recruitment order, after all, every day civilians who think they are talents come to the lord's mansion to try their luck.

"Wuju?"

Peiguo, a woman saw the notice of martial arts, but she was a little eager to try.

"Wenju is divided into clear characters, clear laws, clear calculations, Ming cities, Ming farmers, and Ming virtues...... This is too difficult. ”

Lu Guo, a literati holding the purchased imperial examination textbooks in his hand. He believed that the imperial examinations in the lord's palace were too difficult, and it was necessary not only to be literate, but also to understand the law, arithmetic, economics, agriculture, and morality.

Preparations are underway for the imperial examinations, which will not begin until June.

During this period, a large number of troops were assembled in Jibei and prepared to attack Qingzhou.

Chu Tian found that he couldn't farm well, so he could only choose to fight while farming. The front is fighting dead and alive, while the rear is slowly farming.

Starting from Jibei this time, the legions attacking Jinan include three infantry corps of Offensive, Tiebi and Qingzhou, two cavalry corps of Shensu and Invincible, and the Guards Corps.

"Yu Ban and Li Dian led the Qingzhou Army as the vanguard and led the temptation to enter Jinan."

Chutian deployed the Qingzhou Legion, which was cannon fodder, as the vanguard of the attack on Jinan.

Chu Tian learned that Tian Qi had recently used a strategist. Recently, there are a lot of strategists and Wenchen, Sun Bin, Chen Ping, Fan Wencheng, Li Si and so on.

Some of these strategists and ministers came from the recruitment orders obtained in the Battle of Mobei, and there were also generals who wandered around because of the death of their lords, or generals who were captured.

Chu Tian ordered all the generals to fight steadily and steadily, echoing each other, to avoid being calculated by the opponent's strategists. As long as it is stable enough and the lord and minister do not doubt it, it is difficult for the other party's strategist to calculate success, even if it is Sun Bin.

The establishment of the Yu Forbidden Legion was 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers and 20,000 low-level troops, and it was not full at this time, only about 10,000. Yu Ban is suitable for marching forwards, or used as rear rejections. Although there are only 10,000 people at present, it is more than enough to serve as pioneers.

On the border between Jinan and Jibei, as soon as the forbidden army entered Jinan, it was ambushed by the Tian Ji army sent by Tian Qi, a prince of the aliens!

Tian Ji's army marched rapidly overnight and lay in ambush in the dense forest.

Yu Ban wanted to achieve the battle merits of attacking Jinan and consolidate his position as the leader of the top ten main legions of the Chutian forces, but he was ambushed by Tian Ji and Sun Bin, and Qi Jishu used a strong crossbow to shoot a large number of soldiers of the forbidden army!

"Array, consolidate the formation! Retreat slowly! ”

Yu Ban saw that there were Qi Jishu and Qingzhou crossbowmen on three sides, and he did his best to command the legion to retreat to the dense forest on one side, using the woods to block the opponent's fierce arrow rain.

The opponent used a large number of powerful crossbows, and a dense rain of arrows covered the forbidden legion, like swarms of locusts during the locust plague, overwhelming!

Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Qi has the ability to produce excellent individual crossbows, and his troops are well-equipped with bows and crossbows, and use long-range troops to inflict considerable losses on the Yu Forbidden Legion.

The 10,000 men of the Yu Forbidden Legion retreated to the dense forest, which blocked the terrifying bow and crossbow attack of the Tian Ji Legion, and at least a thousand people died in the ambush.

"The military advisor ordered me to suddenly leave the city last night, travel a hundred miles in a hurry, and ambush here, but I didn't expect to be able to get miraculous feats."

Tian Ji saw that the forbidden army was suppressed by the crossbow, and he felt thrown into the ground for the newly joined military advisor Sun Bin. The legion commanded by Tian Ji himself is not so terrifying, but if the combination of Tian Ji and Sun Bin cooperates with each other, then the threat will be great.

Although Chu Tian thought that Tian Qi had a strategist Sun Bin, he greeted the generals who attacked Jinan in advance. But knowing what generals and strategists the other party has, you may not be able to guard against them. Be careful when the orders of the other party's advisers are given to the generals, and the generals' comprehensions are different.

Yu Ban also didn't expect that he would be ambushed as soon as he entered Jinan.

Fortunately, as a vanguard force, Yu Ban's role is to protect the main army marching and attract the enemy's attention.

"It's a pity that our army lacks a fierce general who can lead the Qi Technique Attack and charge into battle. Is there not a single warrior among ten thousand people? ”

Sun Bin looked at the besieged Yu Ban Army, it was still easy for him to calculate Yu Ban. But as a military advisor and Tian Ji as the main general, he lacks a fierce general.

Yu Ban, as one of the five good generals, is not so easy to be annihilated. After Yu Ban knew that he had been ambushed, he cowered in the dense forest and ordered the crossbowmen and Tian Ji's army to shoot at each other.

Tian Ji's army lacked a fierce general to lead the troops to attack Yu Ban.

Commanders, generals, and strategists are indispensable for a complete legion. The commander takes into account the overall situation, and the fierce general, as a sharp knife, can break through the enemy formation at a critical moment!

"Mengshi Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, Gu Yezi, please be the first to enter the battle!"

Three martial arts generals asked Tian Ji and Sun Bin for their lives.

Sun Bin had intended to provoke them with words, so he nodded slightly.

Tian Ji understood what Sun Bin meant, and said to the three generals: "I will give you a thousand Qi technical attacks, I will attack head-on, you enter the dense forest from the side, attack the enemy, and kill or capture its main general alive." ”

Sun Bin also advised: "Fight quickly, otherwise enemy reinforcements will arrive soon." ”

The three warriors replied, "Yes!" ”

These three people are all force-type reckless men, but they are most suitable for leading Qi Jishu to carry out a surprise attack.

Qi Jizheng is a class of troops composed of civilians and rangers in the five capitals of Qi State. Qi Guoshang Ranger, Qi Jishu has superb individual combat skills, if they fight alone, they can burst out with powerful combat ability. Not only that, but Qi Strike can also play a huge role when used to conduct special military operations, such as at this time!

A thousand Qi Ji Attack marched quickly in the dense forest under the leadership of three warriors, Tian Ji attracted the attention of the Forbidden Legion in the front, and Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi led Qi Ji Attack to attack the flank of the Forbidden Legion!

The Qingzhou soldiers encountered an elite Qi technical assault and suffered heavy casualties. Qi Jishu armed with a long halberd, a short sword, and a strong crossbow fought with the Qingzhou soldiers in the dense forest, and the situation suddenly fell to one side. One Qi Strike can even match two Qingzhou soldiers in a skirmish!

"Weak soldiers!"

Tian Kaijiang pulled the long sword out of the abdomen of a Qingzhou soldier, bringing out blood.

"This time, I have the most credit!"

Gongsun took over with two heads in his hands!

"You're all inferior to me!"

Gu Yezi killed three Qingzhou soldiers by himself!

With their own strength, the three generals led the ranger-like Qi Gong to attack, as if entering a no-man's land!

Yu Ban had to personally lead his own soldiers to besiege Qi Jishu and stabilize his position in the dense forest.

The two sides were in a tug of war in the dense forest, and the three warriors of Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi attacked with a surprise attack, which made Yu Ban a little embarrassed.

Li Dian led a team of heavy infantry reinforcements, relying on the woods to build a defensive line to block Qi Ji's attack and continue to break through!

"Quick!"

Xiahou Yuan and Xu Rong of the Divine Speed Legion then responded to the Yu Ban Legion as the vanguard, and after learning that the Yu Ban Legion was ambushed through the rout, they used the high-speed mobility of the light cavalry to support Yu Ban non-stop!

Xiahou Yuan's cavalry was the fastest, driving all the way!

As the fastest military general in Chutian's forces at present, Xiahou Yuan's cavalry advance speed exceeded Sun Bin's calculations. However, Sun Bin ambushed a crossbowman on the way, and when Xiahou Yuan's cavalry passed through the path, the crossbowmen appeared, and thousands of crossbows were fired! Dozens of light cavalry were hit by arrows, people turned over on their backs, and the light cavalry in the rear relied on their superb riding skills to avoid the fallen war horses!

Xiahou Yuan was on horseback, reflexively mounted and shot, shooting an ambushed crossbowman!

The crossbowman couldn't have imagined that Xiahou Yuan would be so brave, and the sharp arrow had already pierced through his eyebrows!

"Break through the ambush!"

Xiahou Yuan took advantage of the speed of his cavalry and braved the rain of arrows to rush out of the ambush circle of the enemy's crossbowmen!

The scattered arrow feathers and the shot horses on the battlefield will let the cavalry in the rear know that there is an ambush here, so Xiahou Yuan does not have to leave the cavalry to inform the troops in the rear, but continues to go to the aid of Yu Ban.

As generals, they want to prove that they have the value of being reused, so in the battle of pacifying Qingzhou, they are eager for military achievements.

At present, the generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, who are not very satisfied with Chutian, are okay, and the non-clan generals such as Yu Ban, Le Jin, and Zhang Liao are even more eager for military exploits. Yu Ban wanted to gain battle merits through a big victory, showing that he had the ability to serve as the commander of the legion.

However, what he encountered was a perverted combination of Tian Ji and Sun Bin. Sun Bin also proposed that Tian Ji ambush a crossbowman to block the enemy's reinforcements, so Xiahou Yuan was ambushed.

"Report, the enemy cavalry has been discovered, and the enemy cavalry is approaching!"

Tian Ji and Sun Bin sent the three great warriors Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi to carry out a surprise attack, which had a chance to completely wipe out the forbidden army and take prisoners in the ban. But Xiahou Yuan's cavalry was very fast, and regardless of the other party's ambush, he broke through the ambush circle set by Tian Ji's division of troops with his speed, and quickly approached Tian Ji and Sun Bin!

"Xuzhou Mu's arrangement is also shrewd, following such a fast cavalry behind the vanguard troops. If we stay here, we will be attacked by a steady stream of cavalry from the rear and then defeated. A temporary retreat should be made for the time being. ”

Sun Bin judged the situation and did not waver because of the temptation of annihilating the forbidden army of 10,000 people. When it's time to retreat, don't hesitate.

"God won't help me, give us two more incense sticks, and we can capture the other party's main general alive."

Tian Ji was very obedient to Sun Bin's advice, so Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi have already killed the red eye, and the three of them together have killed hundreds of Qingzhou soldiers! Coupled with the large amount of damage given to the Forbidden Legion by Qi Skill, there was a chance to annihilate the Forbidden Legion in this dense forest!

"Next time, I will capture your general alive!"

Tian Kaijiang gained the upper hand, and before retreating, he still did not forget to provoke Yu Ban and Li Dian.

Tian Ji's army quickly withdrew, and Yu Ban wanted to go in pursuit, but was stopped by Li Dian: "The lord has a saying, the other party is very likely to have a strategist Sun Bin, and this person's plan is above the vast majority of people." The reason why he can't annihilate us quickly is only because he has a limited number of troops at his disposal and doesn't have many options to choose from. If we pursue it at this time, we will surely be defeated. ”

Yu Ban was a little anxious: "We have already been defeated, if we don't make any achievements." The battle of Jinan ended like this, and it will definitely be despised by the generals. I personally led a small group of Qingzhou soldiers to pursue, and you led the army to meet in the rear. In this way, even if I am defeated, I will not be defeated. If you can get some results, it's better to go to the main bus. ”

Yu Ban led a thousand Qingzhou soldiers to follow the rapidly retreating Tian Ji Army. The palace troops left by Tian Ji were attacked by Yu Ban and quickly dispersed.

Excitedly, Yu Ban intensified his attack.

The rout of Tian Ji's army fled, and when Yu Ban's troops entered the firing range of the strong crossbow, Sun Bin's crossbowmen who remained in ambush in the rear fired fiercely, resulting in Yu Ban's rout.

In two consecutive confrontations, Yu Ban suffered a big loss under Sun Bin!

A team of cavalry rushed out and wanted to capture Yu Ban, but was repelled by Li Dian, who followed up, and saved Yu Ban.

Yu Ban's face was pale, since he got ahead, he had encountered a group of perverted opponents.

In the first battle of Chutian's capture of Taishan County, Yu Ban's army was attacked by Joan of Arc, Hua Mulan, Xue Rengui and other cavalry troops in Taishan County, and Yu Ban's army was defeated and fled.

Xia Liang ordered the generals to raid Yanzhou Jibei in a battle, and Yu Ban was attacked by Le Yi, Li Xiuning, Li Guang, Du Ruhui and other troops, and was defeated and captured.

Now Yu Ban is still reused, but he met the combination of Tian Ji and Sun Bin in Jinan State, and lost troops again.

Xiahou Yuan's cavalry arrived, and Yu Ban and Li Dian's troops were no longer in danger, and they counted their losses and suffered 3,000 casualties.

"We wait for the main force to come, and the strikers should not be too far away from the main team."

Yu Ban was defeated many times by opponents who were far stronger than himself, probably more defeats, he did not collapse, but stubbornly continued to fight.

"Order the armies to narrow the march."

Chu Tian learned that Yu Ban's Qingzhou Legion had killed and wounded 3,000 soldiers, and had been calculated by the other party many times, and it was probably certain that Tian Qi's advisor was Sun Bin.

But it's not a big problem, Yu Ban is the vanguard cannon fodder, just to seduce the opponent's hole cards.

Chu Tian planned to personally go to the Sixth Army, the governor of Jibei Kingdom, and bring Fang Xuanling, Xun You, and Cao Di, and he thought that Fang Xuanling and Xun You cooperated and could see through Sun Bin's plan.

Sun Bin is powerful, but Tian Qi only has three counties, and he doesn't have enough capital for Sun Bin to squander.
