Chapter 284: Attack on Mount Tai
Lujiang County, Chaisang City, many houses burned by rockets in the city are still billowing black smoke, under the premise of heavy casualties of the defenders, the Beifu army led by Liu Gaozhi, the fierce general of the Beifu army, attacked Chaisang!
50,000 low-ranking soldiers clinging to the city wall from all sides, putting pressure on the Chaisang defenders!
Lujiang guards the bronze bird with a sword and supervises the battle under the city.
Rockets were projected into the city, burning down the houses, gate towers, and arrow towers near the city walls.
The fierce general Liu Gaozhi has already ascended first, with dozens of defenders in his hands, and he is brave!
The Beifu army followed Liu Gaozhi, climbed to the city, and quickly occupied the city wall with one as five!
"Congratulations to the lord, Chaisang City has been won, and the main force of the Taishou of Yuzhang County was almost annihilated by our army in Chaisan."
A military general congratulates the bronze sparrow.
"Lord, Chu Zimou sent someone to deliver a letter, and asked you to see it in person."
The bronze finch took the letter presented by his subordinates, and looked at ten lines.
"Ask me to attack Shouchun? Chu Zimou really looks up to me. ”
Lujiang Taishou Tongque received Chutian's request.
Jiujiang County belongs to one of the six counties of Yangzhou, and Huainan is the barrier to the south of the Yangtze River, and Chutian thinks that Tongque will not have no interest in Shouchun.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei and Wu fought around Hefei and Shouchun for decades, and both sides were helpless against each other.
If the Jiangdong forces want to enter the Central Plains, they must take the Huainan region, especially Shouchun and Hefei, before they can plot against Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and the Central Plains.
The military general asked, "Does the lord plan to continue to occupy Yuzhang County, or do he plan to attack Shouchun according to Chu Zimou's request?" ”
"We have taken Chaisang, gain a firm foothold in Yuzhang County, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, and it is a matter of time before Yuzhang County is captured. It is better to attack Jiujiang County, take Shouchun as a barrier, and then attack Danyang County. Huan Wen, I will leave 20,000 troops for you, and you will recruit soldiers and horses in the area of Chaisang, and wait for the opportunity to capture the entire Yuzhang County. I personally commanded the sailors to attack Shouchun. ”
"Yes."
* Huan Wen, a famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, pacified Shudi, three Northern Expeditions to the Central Plains, recovered part of the lost land, and made high achievements.
……
"Lujiang Taishou has responded, and he will personally lead the main force to attack Shouchun."
After Chu Tian asked the Bronze Bird to attack Shouchun, he quickly got a response from the Bronze Bird.
"Sure enough, Shouchun is a fishbone stuck in the throat for the forces that want to develop in the Jiangdong area. If Shouchun can be taken, Jiangnan will be safer, otherwise it may be attacked by the northern forces at any time. ”
Chu Tian judged that Tongque's power wanted to develop to the six counties of Jiangdong, so Tongque had to consider whose hands Shouchun would fall into.
If Shouchun is controlled by Chutian, Tongque will be very uncomfortable, quite uncomfortable.
If he doesn't fight Shouchun, Chutian will attack Shouchun.
This is equivalent to Cao Cao's control of Shouchun, Sun Quan can only continue to attack Shouchun, and then he will be dragged in the Shouchun area for the rest of his life, and he will not be able to go north to the Central Plains.
"The Beifu army that lured the bronze bird and Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army fought...... Shouchun City is definitely not so easy to capture. Before that, I first went to Taishan County to capture Zhuge Liang alive. ”
Chutian united with Yanzhou Gongzi Wen and Yangzhou Tongque to delay Yanzhou Cao Cao and Yuzhou Yuan Shu. And Chu Tian was able to concentrate on dealing with the Lord of Taishan County and Zhao Gongzi of Qingzhou.
"Spread the news that our army is gathering in Langya Country with the purpose of attacking Beihai Country."
Chu Tian deliberately confused his line of sight.
He recalled the Le Yi Legion and the White Robe Legion back to Langya State, and at the same time ordered Yang Ye to command the cavalry of Guangling County, form an invincible cavalry corps, and go to Xiaopei to garrison Yuan Shu.
At the same time, the 10,000 troops of the Donghai State Defense Corps led by Mi Fang were stationed in Pengcheng, and the 15,000 troops of Yin Li's Pengcheng State Defense Corps were combined, and they echoed Yang Ye's 10,000 cavalry.
On the surface, the main force assembled by the Langya State was going to attack Qingzhou, which caused the panic of Zhao Gongzi of Qingzhou, and he hurriedly sent additional troops to the border between the Beihai State and the Langya State, so that the border troops reached more than 40,000.
In fact, what Chutian wanted to attack was Taishan County, snatch Zhuge Liang into his hands, and at the same time cut off the connection between Cao Cao and Zhao Gongzi, and break them one by one.
The troops used to attack Taishan County this time included three Guards Corps, Le Yi's Offensive Corps, and Xue Rengui's White Robe Corps, with more than 100,000 people.
It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as plundering as fire, and as immobile as a mountain.
Attack, to take it by surprise and be fast, so fast that the enemy does not have time to organize a defense.
Attacking Guangling County, he used 70,000 troops at a time to break through the opponent's defense line and drive straight in, forcing Guangling Taishou to surrender. This already has the rudiments of a blitzkrieg.
Chu Tian, who had tasted the sweetness, planned to occupy Taishan County with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying.
And this time, for the first time, he used the captured Joan of Arc as the main general of the servant army, creating a false impression to the French that their holy daughter was already serving the lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Mulan's mansion is next door to the Lord's Mansion, and now Joan of Arc has also moved in and is under Mulan's surveillance.
"I'm finally ready to go on the expedition."
Joan of Arc was overjoyed when she was notified of the expedition. She also thought that as long as she had as many victories as possible, she would be able to return to France early......
Xia Liang was combing his long golden hair, like a demon's whisper: "The enemy this time should be very weak, it is just a warm-up for you, and you can make meritorious contributions to the lord." ”
In order to sinicize the heroes of France, the summer cool even induced Joan of Arc to change into the long skirt of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Whether it is Mulan or Joan of Arc, they are both general-type heroes, who are not sensitive to ordinary life, and gradually open up under the training of the cool in summer.
"The time for the expedition has been set, just three days later."
Mulan, who was also lured by the summer cool, to come back in a long dress and inform Joan of Arc of the specific time of the expedition.
Joan of Arc seemed to think of something: "I need a battle flag to be able to use some of my abilities." ”
"Battle flags? How about the Red Dragon Banner? ”
"It should be possible...... bar. ”
Joan of Arc thought that she was a French saint who wanted to hold the banner of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and her feelings were complicated.
"I'm going to get ready."
"Sister Mulan, are you going to come to the Lord's Mansion tonight?"
Summer Liang gave Mulan a look.
Mulan hesitated, but finally nodded.
Only Joan of Arc did not know what the two men were referring to.
……
All the soldiers and horses gathered, and the Leyi army traveled a long way and returned to Langya country, and after only a day or two of rest, they were going to go out to attack Taishan County.
Chu Tian gathered three guards legions and two main legions, intending to destroy the lord of Taishan County in one fell swoop.
Hua Mulan of the Scout Legion, Joan of Arc of the Servant Legion, Le Yi of the Offensive Legion, and Xue Rengui of the White-robed Legion, four first-class heroes led their lieutenants to report the assembly to Chutian.
Chu Tian's gaze swept over their faces, feeling their high fighting intent.
These people are heroes who are suitable for battle, and there is no fear of the enemy.
Le Yi and Xue Rengui had the largest number of troops and were the main force attacking Taishan County, with a total of 65,000 people.
This was followed by 36,000 men of the three Guards Corps.
"The strength of Taishan County is only 50,000, and we have twice the strength of the army, along the Yi River into Taishan County, capture Fei County, and directly take Fenggao County, the seat of Taishan County. As long as Fenggao County is captured, Taishan County will be in our pocket sooner or later. ”
"The cavalry of the white-robed army and the reconnaissance legion are the vanguard, if they can come to the city and directly force down to Taishan County, it would be the best."
Before setting out on the expedition, Chutian once again reaffirmed the combat objective, and the cavalry quickly broke through the opponent's defense line and occupied the Taishan County Office.
"I can lead a cavalry and participate in a raid."
Joan of Arc volunteered, and there were many cavalry in the servant legions, including French and Spanish knights, Indian Mughals, and Arab light cavalry.
"Yes, you can act with Mulan."
Chutian was also not worried about the rebellion of Joan of Arc, she had no acquaintances in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was impossible for her to escape.
More than 100,000 people left Xiacheng, and Li Xiuning's women's army stayed behind in Xiacheng.
Chu Tian personally commanded the five colonels of the Northern Army, and he always felt a little strange when he caught a glimpse of Joan of Arc, a French hero, holding the dragon flag of the Eastern Han Dynasty as a battle flag.
But over time, it became strange.
Zhao Gongzi of the Beihai Kingdom paced uneasily, according to the information he received, Chu Zimou had gathered more than 100,000 troops in the Langya Kingdom, and the purpose of the attack was most likely the Beihai Kingdom.
"Lord Taishou, the army gathered in Langya Kingdom has left Xia City!"
"The direction of their march is north?"
"No, it's Taishan County in the northwest!"
"How could he attack Taishan County!?"
Zhao Gongzi immediately looked at the tiled map.
He thought that Chutian was going to attack Qingzhou, but he didn't expect that Chutian's strategic intention was Taishan County in Yanzhou.
"He plans to bring Taishan County into his sphere of influence and cut off the connection between Qingzhou and Yanzhou?"
Zhao Gongzi summoned Tai Shici, Xue Wanche and others to discuss how to deal with the changes.
Chu Tian's actions were too unexpected.
"Immediately go south to attack Langya Kingdom, otherwise once Chu Zimou captures Taishan County, the next thing is our Beihai Kingdom."
Zhao Gongzi realized Chu Tian's strategic intentions.
Tai Shi Ci said: "Dolgon and Wu Sangui are still attacking Linzi of Qi State, without their troops, we may not be able to capture Langya State. Zang Ba and Sun Guan had tens of thousands of troops to defend in Zhucheng. ”
"At this time, I have to put pressure on Langya Guo, which is better than doing nothing. Thou hast marched south with thirty thousand men against the counties. ”
Zhao Gongzi sent Tai Shici to put pressure on Zang Ba and Sun Guan to force Chu Tian to return to his master.
……
Fei County, Taishan County, the alien lord is hosting a banquet to entertain the strong man of Fei County, as one of the three lords of Taishan County, he has participated in the coalition army besieging Langya State.
In Fei County, he can be the emperor of one party, and he can live a nourishing life. Many Haoqiang also took the initiative to ask for marriage with him.
Taishan County is still in a three-legged situation, and the three lords attack each other, but no one can help anyone.
The various princes were busy crusading, and Taishan County, which was located between Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou, was uncared for. It's not that there are no princes who want to take Taishan County, but no princes can free up their hands to attack Taishan County.
A player, Sima Huo, came to the lord of Fei County in a hurry: "Oh no, Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou attacked Taishan County and went straight to our Fei County!" ”
The lord of Fei County's hands trembled, the wine bottle fell on the table, and the wine spilled all over the ground: "Isn't Chu Zimou going to attack Zhao Gongzi in Qingzhou?" Why did you come to attack Taishan County? ”
When the powerful people in Fei County heard this, they were also in a panic. Xuzhou Mu poured all his troops from Xuzhou and came to attack Taishan County, how could they resist a Fei County?
"You don't need to panic, we just need to stick to Fei County. Zhao Gongzi of Qingzhou would not sit idly by and watch Chu Zimou's attack on Taishan County. I also heard that Yuan Shu was gathering forces in Peiguo and preparing to attack Xiaopei and Xiapi. Hold Fei County for a month or two, and Zhao Gongzi and Yuan Shu will give Chu Zimou a headache. ”
The Lord of Fei County suppressed the fear in his heart, thinking that he would have reinforcements, which made him a little relieved.
He knew that he was not Chu Tian's opponent, but he still had hope. As long as he waits for reinforcements, he can still retain his current power and position.
Occupying Fei County, with power, status, money, and women, he is not willing to lose it all. Not to mention that he participated in the anti-Chutian alliance organized by Cao Bao at that time, and had a hatred with Chutian, if he was captured by Chutian, he would definitely not survive.
The powerful people of Fei County looked at each other, and it was difficult for them to imagine that they could stop the army of Xuzhou Mu.
However, the lord of Fei County, who was determined to resist, had the power of the army, and he gathered about 15,000 people to defend Fei County, forcing the powerful to defend the city together.
He was definitely not Chu Tian's opponent in the field battle, and he thought that he could hold on to the city for a month or two.
"You must hold Fei County, and you can't let Chu Zimou take everything from me!"
Despite his determination, the Lord of Fei County still trembled in the face of the most terrifying existence in the Eastern Han District.
When players living in Fei County heard that the Xuzhou Mu army was coming, they immediately fled to other counties for refuge.
As the first state pastor and one of the largest princes in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chutian's every move has attracted much attention. The news of the Xuzhou army's attack on Taishan County in Yanzhou spread quickly.
Xuzhou Mu Chu Tianwu is abundant, as soon as the national war is over, swallow Guangling in the south, attack Mount Tai in the north, and shock the Quartet!
"Taishan County, how could he attack Taishan County?"
When Cao Cao heard the news, he couldn't help but feel hopeless.
Once Taishan County is occupied by Chutian, his forces will be divided from those of Zhao Gongzi. Chutian could have sent one or two generals to recruit troops in Taishan County, and then attack the Jibei Kingdom and Dongjun occupied by Cao Cao's forces, and continue to compress Cao Cao's living space.
"Yu Wenze, you are a person from Taishan County, you are familiar with the terrain of Taishan County, you lead the soldiers and horses of Jibei Country to assist Taishan County."
Cao Cao could not sit idly by and watch Chutian annex a large county in Yanzhou, and he wanted to personally engage Zhou Yafu in the Dongping Kingdom, so he could only send Yu Ban, one of the five good generals, and his Qingzhou army to support Taishan County.
Taishan County Taishou was an alien lord who did not belong to Cao Cao's sphere of influence.
"Urge Yuan Highway to attack Xiaopei as soon as possible, and Zhao Gongzi to attack Langya State, otherwise we will all become prisoners of Chu Zimou."
Cao Cao sent people to urge Yuan Shu and Zhao Gongzi, who could threaten Xuzhou from two directions.
"Yuan Highway led an army of 50,000 from Xuchang, and raised 50,000 troops from all over the country, a total of 100,000, and it will take quite a while to reach Pei County."
"Who did Chu Zimou send to block Yuan Highway?"
"Yang is invincible."
