A group of craftsmen were brought to Chu Tian, and this group of craftsmen of the Han Empire was not ordinary craftsmen, but advanced craftsmen who had mastered the skills of making Xiangyang cannons.

Lao Qin built a lot of walled cities in Guanzhong and Heluo to defend, especially the majestic cities and checkpoints such as Luoyang City, Tongguan, Chang'an City, and Xianyang City, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack. Then a large siege machine is needed.

The Xiangyang cannon is already the pinnacle siege equipment in the era of cold weapons.

There are hundreds of craftsmen in front of him, who are good at making siege equipment, and under each person, he is in charge of a team of craftsmen. There are intermediate craftsmen, low-level craftsmen, and apprentices in the craftsman squad, and in fact, there are tens of thousands of craftsmen who manufacture siege equipment under the military department!

"This time to attack Guanzhong, the capture of Luoyang, Chang'an, and Xianyang depends on your ability."

"Your Highness has an order, and the villains don't dare to disobey!"

Chutian summoned high-level craftsmen and special craftsmen, and their abilities were second only to legendary craftsmen (special talents in historical facts).

Artisans are a force to be reckoned with, but the Mongol armies have shown that they have a large army of artisans, which is advantageous when besieging a city without having to go through a long siege.

"Liu Ye, the household registration and logistics of this siege force are all managed by you, and you cooperate with Wu Qi and Le Yi to capture Luoyang."

Chu Tian said to a Wenchen beside him.

Liu Ye's talent is not only to provide bonuses for siege equipment, but also to deal with internal affairs.

When he was recuperating, Liu Ye served as a civil official, and after the war, he was responsible for managing craftsmen and going to the front line to attack the walled city.

Liu Ye said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness." ”

The war in the north will be extremely tragic, but Liu Ye is very fanatical, if he wins, then he has made a contribution to the dragon.

Liu Ye led the craftsmen to leave.

"Guanzhong is a place that is easy to overturn, and there are countless princes who have made their fortunes from Guanzhong."

Chu Tianmu sent Liu Ye away, and he also had to prepare to go on the expedition.

Wu Qi's Jizhou army was the vanguard, and its current goal was to capture Hanoi County north of the Yellow River.

Chu Tian wanted to personally lead the cavalry troops to attack Luoyang.

Lao Qin had many cavalry generals, the most ferocious of which were Lu Bu, Yang Dayan and other fierce generals, Wu Qi had not yet faced this kind of cavalry pig attack tactics in later generations.

In Hanoi County, the white-robed army is the vanguard, breaking several county towns in a row!

20,000 white-robed elites, 80,000 Wei warriors, mighty, unless it is the main force of the Guanzhong Army, it is impossible to resist at all, everywhere you go, you are invincible!

The halberd warriors climbed to the city, and Zhang He captured a cottage without difficulty.

Wu Qi commanded 180,000 foot cavalry, and invaded Hanoi County in a big way, and when he collected the counties, he swept away the cottages everywhere.

There are many remnants of the Baibo Army in Hanoi County and Hedong County, and in Wu Qi's view, it is easy to suppress these bandits once and for all.

"The Guanzhong Army doesn't plan to defend Hanoi County?"

Wu Qi originally planned to annihilate the main force of the Guanzhong Army in Hanoi County, but Lao Qin contracted the defensive line and abandoned Hanoi County, which was difficult to defend.

Hanoi was too close to Yecheng to withstand the ongoing offensive from Hebei.

"The Guanzhong Army should have shrunk to the area of Hedong and Luoyang."

Wei Wuji sat on top of a rickety chariot.

The generals of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period still had a certain interest in chariots, and some of them directly used chariots from the Warring States Period as mounts.

"Since the Guanzhong army plans to defend Luoyang, then temporarily abandon Hedong County, let's go to Mengjindu and take Luoyang first."

Wu Qi sat on the chariot and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The endless Wei Wushu, long Ge Lin, has been killed until the edge of the Yellow River, no one can stop it, on the other side of the Yellow River is the mountain.

After the mountain, there is Luoyang, a city that was rebuilt after being burned by fire.

"Phew!"

Zhao Yun grabbed the reins of the war horse, and immediately shot a horizontal gun, and eight thousand white horses followed.

He looked out at the rolling Yellow River and the mountains on the other side.

The slope of the Yellow River is smaller here, the water flow is slowed down, the river channel is narrower, and since ancient times, Mengjin is the northern gateway of Luoyang.

The princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao suggested that the troops attack Luoyang by separate routes, among them, the east attacked Hujiao Pass, and the north attacked Mengjin, but the princes of all roads did not try to forge ahead.

Now, Cao Cao's suggestion was approved by Chutian, and the main troops were divided into two ways to attack Luoyang.

On the North Road, Wu Qi was the main general, leading the elite of Hebei to cross the Yellow River in the south; On the east road, Le Yi is the main general, leading the elite of Henan and the west out of the Tiger Prison.

Xue Rengui could vaguely see the south bank of the Yellow River, where the cavalry of the Guanzhong Army was patrolling.

The Guanzhong army already knew that the troops and horses of the northern route under the command of Wu Qi captured Hanoi County and approached the Yellow River.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, Lü Bu, who longed to be crowned king, led the wolf cavalry patrol of Bingzhou and glared at Hebei.

According to Lao Qin's promise to him, as long as he kills King Xia, then he will become the King of Qi of the Han Empire, and even the future emperor.

Lu Bu thought that it would be easy for him to kill Chu Tian himself, but the more tricky thing was Dian Wei, the guard around Chu Tian, and a group of fierce generals of Chu Tian's forces, among these fierce generals, some even had force comparable to Lu Bu.

"The King of Qin has seized the high ground of Pishan, and if they dare to cross the Yellow River, they will die without a place to be buried."

Lu Bu clenched Fang Tian's halberd, and he seemed to sense that there was a powerful and familiar opponent on the other side of the Yellow River.

In the mountains, Wang Jian personally set up the formation.

For the defenders, defending the city is the next step.

Offense is the best defense, followed by relying on the location to keep the enemy out of the city.

Bishan became a position to resist Wu Qi.

The craftsmen of the Guanzhong Army set up a camp in Bishan, a team of Qin Ruishi camped, and the golden fire cavalry patrolled.

Lao Qin took Jia Xu and came to Bishan in person.

"Bishan is an ancient battlefield, we occupy a favorable location, Wu Qi wants to break through Bishan, 80,000 Wei soldiers, at least half of them will be lost."

Lao Qin passed, and Wang Qian, Li Xin, Meng Wu, and Meng Tian were all solemn.

The loss of Hanoi County was already a certainty, and the Guanzhong Army did not intend to fight Wu Qi in Hanoi County, where the terrain was relatively flat, but chose to defend in the steep terrain of Pishan.

To the north of the Yellow River is the team of the Wei State, and to the south of the Yellow River, it is the team of the Qin State.

Wu Qi's army collected boats on the north bank of the Yellow River to cross the river.

In Hedong County, Shi Le, the leader of the Qiang people, limped, he was wounded in the battle with Yue Fei's army, and led the remnants of the tribe to flee from Shangdang County to Hedong County, where he was accepted by Lao Qin and entrusted with the Taishou of Hedong.

"King Xia's forces have destroyed my tribe, and this revenge must be avenged!"

Shi Le gritted his teeth, the Qiang tribe was wiped out by the Yuejia army, and the treatment was worse than that of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and Shi Le only took away 100,000 Qiang.

He had to rely on the soldiers and horses of Hedong County to join the war.

Lao Qin deployed 70,000 soldiers and horses in Hedong, plus Shile's 30,000 cavalry, to form a 100,000 Hedong army to threaten Wuqi's army from the west.

Shile's adviser said: "When Wu Qi's army crosses south and occupies Mongjindu, we will recover Hanoi County, cut off its retreat, and even if it has the resources of heaven, it will be defeated." ”

"My Black Lance Dragon Army has been reorganized, and this battle must be won no matter what."

Because Shi Le was defeated by Yue Fei, he wanted to save face from Wu Qi this time.

In the rear of Shile, the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu people were the source of the black lance dragon army, ready to go.

Helan Mountain, the tiger stripe mounted iron cavalry of the Tuoba Xianbei tribe, and the iron eagle scouts of the Northern Wei Dynasty marched to the Hetao, and the war eagles circled in the air, with a bird's-eye view of the black and oppressive Xianbei cavalry.

The central Xianbei poured out of the nest.

The leader Tuoba Tao and the mastermind Cui Hao are the core figures of the Xianbei Army in the central part of the country, one can fight well, and the other can give advice.

Cao Cao, Xun You, and Guo Jia couldn't get much advantage from them, and of course, Tuoba Tao and Cui Hao couldn't gain an advantage over Cao Cao.

It's just that this time they attacked the Hetao, facing Yue Fei's Yue Jiajun and Yang Ye's Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

In Taiyuan County, the soldiers of the Yuejia Army entered the teleportation array and teleported directly to Yunzhong County.

In the Northern War, the three major princes wanted to kill each other regardless of the cost and cost, so they opened all the teleportation arrays and directly used the teleportation arrays to transfer troops back and forth.

As soon as the teleportation is opened, the gold is ten thousand taels.

"Tuoba Xianbei, which Cao Cao can't suppress, will be solved by us."

The order Yue Fei received was to hold on to the Hetao, waiting for an opportunity to capture Helan Mountain and Yuzhong, and attack the western part of Bingzhou and Liangzhou.

His main opponent was Tuoba Xianbei.

Tuoba Xianbei grazes cattle in the Helan Mountains, but has always coveted the Hetao Plain.

Cao Cao twice crusaded against Tuoba Tao, drew with Tuoba Tao, and failed to make progress.

Tuoba Tao, as a martial emperor-level hero, has the help of the mastermind Cui Hao, which is extremely tricky.

Zhang Xian and Niu Gao led the infantry and crossbowmen of the Yuejia army and took the lead in arriving at Yunzhong County.

Yang Zaixing followed Yue Fei and led the cavalry of the Beiwei Army, and then arrived in the clouds.

"Tuoba Xianbei, if you are unwilling to surrender and hand over the power of the army, you will kill him."

Yue Fei had already learned that Tuoba Tao's Xianbei army was marching towards Yunzhong County.

The whole world was in flames because of Chu Tian's provocation of the Northern War, and a big war broke out at the junction of the three major princes, and Yue Fei no longer knew how many battlefields there were.

The big battlefields include Bishan, Hugaoguan, Hetao, Youzhou, and Monan, and there are countless small battlefields, and even the city defense troops and rogues are involved in the big war.

The Han Empire entered a chaotic Northern War.

According to the statistics of later historians, the number of troops who have been invested in the Northern War may exceed four million, which is one of the five major battles during the period of Emperor Xia Wudi!

"Cross the river, cross the river!"

Wu Qi's army approached the north bank of the Yellow River and collected thousands of small wooden boats, while the Yellow River transport fleet, which had been prepared in Liyang, Puyang and other places, went upriver and transported the 180,000 soldiers and horses of Wu Qi's commander to the south bank to attack Bishan.

As long as Pishan is captured, then Luoyang is like an unsuspecting girl.

A group of Wei warriors boarded wooden boats and forced their way across the Yellow River at night, engaging in skirmishes with the Qin troops stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River, killing and wounding thousands of men on both sides.

The Qin army retreated, and at dawn, Wu Qi's army successfully crossed the Yellow River.

"It was too easy to cross the river, the Qin army deliberately retreated, wanting to delay our 180,000 cavalry between the mountains and the Yellow River, and then cut off our rear road and annihilate our 180,000 cavalry ......"

Wu Qi did not relax because of the smooth crossing of the Yellow River, on the contrary, this was the strategy of Lao Qin and Jia Xu.

Luoyang was not that important to Lao Qin.

At this time, Luoyang was not the national capital, but the outer defense line of Chang'an. Even if Luoyang is lost, it is within the acceptable range of Lao Qin.

His goal was to annihilate Wu Qi's 80,000 Wei warriors.

The threat of 80,000 Wei soldiers is too great.

In order to capture Luoyang, Wu Qi took the initiative to enter Lao Qin's plan.

If Lao Qin wanted to cut off Wu Qi's retreat, he needed to use Shi Le's Qianren cavalry and Hedong cavalry to recover Hanoi County and complete the encirclement of Wu Qi.

However, in the teleportation array of Hanoi County, Chu Tian personally commanded the Praetorian Guard.

A group of cavalry with defensive power comparable to that of Tiefutu appeared, and the loyal and filial piety army of Monk Wanyan Chen and the Heli army were ordered to enter Hanoi County to protect Wu Qi's retreat, so that Wu Qi did not have to fight freely because he was worried that the grain route would be cut off.

The scale of the Loyal and Filial Piety Army and the Heli Army was expanded, of which the Loyal and Filial Piety Army had 1,000 cavalry and the Heli Army had 7,000 cavalry.

"Don't make a big fuss."

Chu Tian came out of the teleportation array, wearing the armor of an ordinary general, making people think that Chu Tian was just an ordinary general.

Xiao Xuan also changed into the armor of a military general and followed Chu Tian as a clerical officer.

In order to hide his whereabouts, Chu Tian didn't even bring the five big and three thick Dian Wei.

Dian Wei's body shape is too conspicuous.

"Shile, last time Yue Fei let him escape, this time I will personally deal with the Black Lance Dragon Army."
