Beihai Kingdom, under the city of Jimo, when Donglai Taishou Zhao Gongzi besieged Dolgon, Wu Sangui, and Guan Haiduo, the Qingzhou army besieged Jimo heavily, built a city wall outside the city, built hundreds of arrow towers, and had soldiers patrol day and night.

Dolgon repeatedly attacked out of the city, but was repulsed by the defenders outside the city.

Zhao Gongzi took Xue Wanche and Tai Shici, two fierce generals, to look at the sturdy Jimo: "Chu Zimou has begun to prepare to unify Xuzhou, how can I be willing to be left behind?" Dolgon's group is hiding in Jimo, when will they be able to capture the fortified city? ”

A city in Jimo has been holding him for half a year, and there is no sign of running out of food. If Chutian unifies Xuzhou before he unifies Qingzhou, then Qingzhou will be very dangerous.

The direction of Xuzhou's attack was Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou, and once Chutian unified Xuzhou, it was very likely to capture Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

"It is better to recruit them and use them for my use."

Zhao Gongzi's troops were more and more, but he was never able to raise the determination to attack Jimo, so he started the idea of persuading him to surrender.

Langya Kingdom, Xia City, and Chutian sent military generals to capture the remaining two or three counties of Langya Kingdom.

There are a total of thirteen counties in the Langya Kingdom, and Chutian has not yet completely controlled the thirteen counties.

Just when Chu Tian decided to send out the list of generals, Zhao Yun took the initiative to come to find Chu Tian.

Although Zhao Yun has repeatedly made meritorious contributions to Chutian, he has not officially decided to take refuge in Chutian.

For Zhao Yun to take the initiative to visit, Chu Tian was quite surprised. After he returned to Langya Kingdom, he had a lot of ideas, and he did not deliberately recruit Zhao Yun.

The reason is also very simple, he has already used Zhao Yun as his own general, Zhao Yun is basically inseparable from Langya Kingdom, and there is no reason to leave.

He has friendships with military generals such as Xue Rengui and Li Guang, and has made many military exploits for the Langya State, as long as he defects to Chutian, he can have an official position, why bother to take refuge in other princes.

It's like if a person is dependent on the existing environment, then he has no motivation to adapt to the new environment.

"Zilong wants to follow under the command of the lord, and he wants the lord to take him in!"

Sure enough, Zhao Yun took the initiative to ask for allegiance.

This is what Chu Tian wants to achieve the effect of subduing the generals. Coercion and temptation, it is better to make them take the initiative to take refuge, and it is even less likely to betray in the future.

Seeing Zhao Yun's sincere eyes, Chu Tian decided to accept this tiger general.

"Ding! You have gained the allegiance of Zhao Yun, an emperor-level historical general. ”

"Ding! Achievement system: SS-level achievement - 'Five Tiger Generals' is enabled. Collect all the five tiger generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao, and you can get special rewards. ”

[Special Class]: You can recruit White Horse Righteous Servants (Sixth-Order Light Cavalry, up to 3,000, Skills: Special Mounted Archery, Advanced Scouting, Advanced Galloping, Righteous Servants)

As a popular hero, Zhao Yun's attributes are very high.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun's loyalty is directly 95, and his favorability is 85, and it is estimated that Chu Tian will not be able to drive him away.

Mulan's loyalty is high because of long-term love, while Zhao Yun's loyalty rises faster and declines more slowly, because his physiognomy is "loyalty".

The achievements of the five tiger generals have also been opened, but if you want to recruit the five tiger generals, I don't know how difficult it is, especially Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who are close to Liu Bei, are difficult to recruit.

"You are temporarily the Sima of other departments, and Mulan will train you in part of the light cavalry. Later, when you recruit a white horse, you will change your troops. ”

Chu Tian considered that Zhao Yun had a pioneer characteristic, and it was okay to let Zhao Yun serve as a guard or a pioneer in the future. The vanguard relied mainly on force and bravery.

"The last general commands!"

Zhao Yun went to the school to find Mulan to divide his troops and become a light cavalry general.

As for the heavy cavalry generals, Chu Tian had already decided to let Hua Xiong take the position, and Hua Xiong had not yet surrendered and was locked up in the dungeon of Xia Cheng.

When Zhao Yun's cavalry is equipped with pure white war horses, it can give full play to Zhao Yun's characteristic effect "White Horse General", which is estimated to be similar to Gongsun Zhan.

"Try to buy a batch of white horses, or concentrate all the white horses, and use them to recruit white horse servants for Zhao Yun."

If Chu Tian wants to buy a pure white war horse, it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort.

He found Xia Liang, who was in charge of finance, and asked her to buy a batch of pure white war horses from a horse dealer.

"Actually, you don't need to buy a lot of pure white war horses. The subordinates had already counted the type, quality, and even fur color of the horses obtained from the battle against Dong Zhuo. Among them, there are 1,213 pure white war horses, and a total of 213 gold-quality white horses. As long as you buy 87 white horses from Youzhou, you can gather 300 white horse followers. Since the White Horse Yicong is a sixth-order cavalry, he should need a gold-level white horse, right? In this way, Zhao Yun can command 300 white horse servants and 1,200 low-level white horse light cavalry, so there will be 1,500 light cavalry who are good at riding and shooting. ”

Xia Liang held the account book in his hands, and had already imagined Zhao Yun's configuration of soldiers and horses.

"It's a shame that you don't want to be a lord."

Chu Tian found that she quickly considered a plan for Zhao Yun's troop allocation.

"There is no way for the subordinates, and the village was annexed at the beginning......

"You managed to recruit more women's troops for Li Xiuning in Langya Country, and Yu Lu can be improved."

Chu Tian considered that Tao Qian's side had gathered famous generals such as Xiang Yan and Yang Wudi, and had to tap the potential of his own generals.

Li Xiuning's women's army can continue to fight, and the conditions for recruitment are only limited by the source of soldiers, so Chutian will give priority to recruiting soldiers for him.

When crusading against Xuzhou, Li Xiuning's women's army was also required to guard the house.

There is no need to worry about the rear, Chu Tiancai dared to let go of his hands and feet to hit Tao Qian, otherwise it would be quite uncomfortable.

"Then I managed to recruit another 3,000 women's troops, for a total of 5,000 women's troops?"

"Five thousand is enough."

Chu Tian thought about it, the 5,000 women's army guarded Xia City, and then left 5,000 low-level troops, and temporarily recruited 10,000 village warriors, even if the other party was a first-class famous general commanding an army of 100,000 to attack, it would not be able to shake Xia City for a month or two.

"Also, give Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other people's houses, send people to settle them, it is best to let them live in an adjacent place, and enhance the cultural atmosphere of our summer city."

With the reputation of Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, placing them in Xia Cheng is actually a deterrent to the enemy. If Lu Zhi and Cai Yong were killed in the war, it was estimated that it would cause quite a stir among the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the enemy would be disturbed to some extent.

"Yes."

In the summer, Liang retreated and went to recruit for Li Xiuning.

Although Li Xiuning is her retainer, Chu Tian still has the final say on the specific recruitment, and there is no difference between him and Chu Tian's generals.

Because of Li Xiuning's military exploits, Chutian directly made him the Sima of other departments, and then asked Dong Zhuo to be a general or lieutenant in the future.

"This is the information collected by the scouts in Tancheng, Tao Qian can gather 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the lords of the other four counties can send 100,000 troops and horses to Tancheng and 50,000 to Qu County. The coach of Tancheng is Xiang Yan, and the coach of Quxian County is Song Jiang. ”

Fang Xuanling had already sent scouts to infiltrate Tancheng to inquire about information.

"Tao Qian lost 30,000 in Beihai Country, and tens of thousands were burned by Miss Xia in our Langya Country, but I didn't expect to be able to gather 100,000 soldiers and horses. But this should be his last soldier. ”

Chu Tian learned that Tao Qian could continue to send troops, and speculated that Tao Qian's troops were already stretched, after all, part of the territory was controlled by the aliens, and Xuzhou was not completely in Tao Qian's hands.

Zhao Yun came out of the Lord's Mansion, and Xue Rengui was already waiting outside: "How is it?" The lord should agree to you joining, right? ”

Zhao Yun nodded, he was still a little nervous just now.

If Chu Tian refused just now, Zhao Yun didn't know where to go, after all, he had already integrated into the small circle of Langya State military generals.

It can make the five tiger generals worry about not being accepted, and I'm afraid that few lords can do it.

The personal soldiers of the lord's mansion caught up: "The two generals Xue and Zhao, the lord has an order, you lead the soldiers and horses to pacify the counties that have not yet been included in the Langya country, but belong to the Langya country." ”

"The lord is finally going to completely unify the Langya country."

Xue Rengui knew that Chutian had not completely pacified all the counties in Langya Kingdom, because there were one or two counties that were far away.

After Zhao Yun officially became a general, he set out for the first time as a Sima of another department.

They are divided into two routes, and it is estimated that the other party will know that the historical generals are coming, and they will definitely look at the wind and surrender.

After Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun left, Chu Tian came to the dungeon in Xia Cheng to see if he could successfully recruit Xu Rong and Hua Xiong.

Xu Rong and Hua Xiong were locked up in the same cell by Chu Tian.

Xu Rong wanted to beat Hua Xiong because Hua Xiong abandoned Xu Rong before the fall of Tiger Prison Pass, resulting in Xu Rong being captured. It's a pity that Xu Rong can't beat Huaxiong by personal force, so he can't retaliate in the dungeon.

"Two generals, I don't know if you've figured it out now? Playing for me is ten times better than serving Dong Zhuo. He is now unable to compete in the Central Plains. ”

Chu Tian came to the two of them, intending to recruit Xu Rong and Hua Xiong. In the battle for Xuzhou, the number of generals is as good as possible.

Xu Rong can be in charge alone or as a deputy general, while Hua Xiong is the general of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry considered by Chu Tian.

The Western Liang Iron Cavalry can only exert the greatest effect if the Liangzhou generals can exert the greatest effect.

Xu Rong's expression was calm: "General Fubo, please go back." I, Xu Rong, will not surrender to you. ”

Chu Tian had long known that it was difficult to recruit military generals with masters, so he was not reluctant.

Hua Xiong is just a reckless man, and it should be easier to surrender.

"I, Huaxiong, would rather die than surrender!"

To Chutian's surprise, Huaxiong also refused Chutian's persuasion.

Chu Tian frowned.

It is really difficult to recruit military generals with masters, and even Huaxiong did not surrender.

"Then the two of you will continue to stay here. The generals that I Chu Zimou can't get, others can't think of it. ”

Chu Tian couldn't grasp Xu Rong and Hua Xiong's weaknesses for a while, so he left the dungeon.

Hua Xiong saw Chu Tian leaving, and he stopped talking.

Xu Rong said contemptuously: "Do you want to surrender?" ”

Hua Xiong muttered in a low voice: "How can I, Hua Xiong, be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death......

Chu Tian came out and prepared to arrange for Fang Xuanling to ponder how to subdue Xu Rong and Hua Xiong. Fang Xuanling should be able to find their weaknesses and take advantage of them.

"Please give the main bus to your subordinates. The subordinates thought that Hua Xiong was easier to persuade to surrender, and Xu Rong might have to spend more time. ”

Fang Xuanling already had an understanding of the personalities of the two of them, and could probably judge the time it would take to persuade the two of them.

"Xu Rong can wait a little longer, as long as Hua Xiong surrenders before the decisive battle, he can be appointed as the general of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and attack Tao Qian's army at a critical moment, this is one of our hole cards, and it is also the most terrible hole card."

Chu Tian knew what it meant for a thousand seventh-order Western Liang Iron Riders to launch a charge in the plain area of Xuzhou. As long as Xiliang Tiecai chiseled through Tao Qian's army, tore the opening, and let the friendly army drive straight in, he could win.

The captured Xiliang Iron Cavalry was brought to Langya Kingdom, and seeing that there was no hope of returning to Liangzhou, they surrendered one after another, and soon Chutian could officially have a thousand Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a consumable for Chu Tian, and one less is killed in battle, so it cannot be recruited and replenished.

The recruitment of Xiliang Iron Cavalry requires a seventh-order cavalry battalion, as well as expensive equipment such as cavalry armor and horse armor.

In addition to the heavy cavalry used for decisive battles in the field, it is also necessary to prepare enough siege equipment.

Siege equipment includes ladders, ladder trucks, catapults, catapults, siege towers, rushing vehicles and so on.

Large-scale engineering equipment is generally produced in its own territory, and then transported by horse-drawn carts and mule carts to the enemy's city for assembly.

Most of the terrain in Xuzhou is plain, and it is relatively easy to transport siege equipment.

Chu Tian asked Fang Xuanling, "How many levels of our current highest-level siege equipment workshop are there?" ”

"At present, it is the fifth level, and the siege equipment that craftsmen can produce includes double-bow bed crossbows, single-tip guns, double-tip guns, and small and medium-sized siege towers."

"If you want to attack Tanxian, these siege equipment is not enough."

Chu Tian thought of the twenty-meter-high siege tower he saw when attacking the Tiger Prison Pass, and he couldn't produce it.

There are still 70,000 military merits that are useless, and Chu Tian is considering exchanging an architectural drawing of a high-grade siege equipment workshop to completely solve the problem of insufficient power of siege equipment in the future.

Chu Tian took a look at all the items that could be exchanged. He was the first to check if there was a recruitment order. Recruitment orders are undoubtedly the preferred option.

However, in this epic battle, there is no recruitment order that can be redeemed.

Sixth-level siege equipment workshop drawings, 20,000 combat exploits.

Seventh-level cavalry battalion blueprints, 40,000 combat exploits.

Horse armor manufacturing blueprint (gold level), 5,000 combat exploits.

The heavy cavalry used Han Xuanjia to make drawings (gold level), 5,000 combat exploits.

"It seems that the battle achievements are still overstretched, and they are completely insufficient."

Chu Tian found that he wanted to recruit Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and he was going bankrupt.
