"This ...... What's going on? ”

Cao Bao, who commanded the siege battle under the city, was dumbfounded.

He clearly saw that the first team had been continuously going to the city, and Xia Cheng was within reach, but in a short period of time, the morale of the defenders was restored, the siege troops were defeated, and the attack and defense changed positions!

The lords of the coalition also looked at each other, and for some reason, the morale of the defenders of Summer City suddenly boosted.

"Didn't Chu Zimou's main generals go on the expedition? Obviously, he only left a group of second- and third-rate generals, and it is impossible for him to have such a great effect. ”

"Could it be that Chu Zimou has left a back hand? If that's the case, we've all been counted by him! ”

The coalition forces are figuring out what is happening. When the siege party retreated, they learned that a female warrior had boosted their morale and expelled the besieging force.

As a result, the coalition forces are even more panicked, and a female military general who can boost morale for a short period of time may have high attributes.

In a house in Xia Cheng, the physician Li Lan wrapped gauze around the shoulders of the cool and smooth fragrant in the summer, after Li Xiuning repelled the defenders, the summer was cool and went down the city wall, there was no need to stay there to cause trouble for Li Xiuning.

After Li Xiuning finished a day's patrol, he came back to pay his respect.

The summer is cool to take a good look at Li Xiuning's attributes.

[Name]: Li Xiuning

[Talent]: King-level Commander (Foot/Horseman)

[Level]: 58

[Identity]: The third daughter of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty

[Age]: 21

[Loyalty]: 90

[Status]: Healthy

[Commander]: 87 (max 90)

[Brawn]: 80 (max 83)

[Intelligence]: 78 (max 81)

[Politics]: 82 (maximum 87)

[Charm]: 94

[Phase]: Brave

[Favorability]: 80

[Trait 1]: Princess Pingyang Zhao (S-rank exclusive trait, female soldiers' attack and defense +18%)

[Trait 2]: Princess Zhao's Incentive (S-exclusive trait, greatly increased troop morale, applicable to two more battles in one month)

[Trait 3]: Forbidden Invasion (A-level trait, the probability of being resisted by the inhabitants in the enemy's territory is greatly reduced, and the people's morale is not easy to drop when the enemy city is breached)

[Special Class]: Women's Army (sixth-order light infantry, 10,000 in number, only qualified female soldiers are required to recruit, the recruitment cycle is one month)

No wonder the group of defenders seemed to be crazy, it turned out to be the S-class trait "Princess Zhao's Inspiration" from Li Xiuning.

Although Li Xiuning's data is not high among the king-level commanders, not as good as Zhou Yafu, his bonus to female soldiers is really high, and it also has the effect of reviving morale when the battle situation is unfavorable, and he is simply a female commander who continues to fight.

The woman who can leave a mark in the history is a leader in her own right.

However, Li Xiuning's morale-boosting effect can only be used twice a month, and only in the key decisive battle, Li Xiuning will choose to activate the motivational effect.

Now there is no women's army in Xia Cheng that can be used by Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning still didn't relax: "It's just a matter of holding on, Xia Cheng will definitely not be able to hold it." ”

Summer Cool has a calm tone, as if he is confident.

This is also why Li Xiuning chose to take refuge in her when Chutian was away.

"I didn't plan to stay in Summer City forever. Aggressive defense is the most effective defensive strategy. Before the siege of Xia City, I had already recruited Qingzhou soldiers from various cities, towns, and even villages where the Qingzhou displaced people were settled, including Yangdu County, Ju County, Zhu County, Dongwu County, and Xueyue City, as well as all the villages and towns below. All the Qingzhou soldiers will be secretly assembled in Snow Moon City, led by the Taishan thief generals Sun Kang and Wu Dun, ready to counterattack. As long as one general leads his troops out of the city and joins forces with the recruited Qingzhou New Army, he will have enough troops to sweep away all the enemies who enter Langya Kingdom. ”

"Xu Sheng was injured, and the winning rate of using Sun Kang and Wu Dun as the coach to launch an attack was extremely low, so what I lacked was a good player. And now I got you. ”

"Xiu would rather serve the head of the family and clean up all the enemies who have entered the Langya country."

Li Xiuning admired him, and it turned out that Xia Liang had secretly assembled troops for a counteroffensive.

Xia Liang said in a low voice: "Taking advantage of the fact that our morale is high, and the morale of the enemy besieging the city is falling, tonight you lead your troops to break through the enemy outside the city, and I have ordered the Qingzhou army assembled in Snow Moon City to go south and join us." All those who invade the country of Langya will die. ”

……

"Kill!"

Sun Guan, the general of the Taishan thief, led the Qingxu cavalry to charge the flank of the Donghai army commanded by Song Jiang, the war horse galloped, and the cavalry with a big sword and spear rushed to kill in the Donghai army, and the war horse knocked down the soldiers along the way!

Sun Guan fought bravely, with a few arrows stuck in his armor, and a spear pierced the head of a soldier from the East China Sea Kingdom!

The mountains are full of flags and soldiers of the East China Sea, five hundred Qingxu cavalry continue to fall behind and die, Sun Guan did not retreat, killed more than ten people in a row, and broke out of the formation!

"Follow me, keep killing!"

Sun Guan became more and more excited, and even took the cavalry to kill back, and he was brave!

Even though his strength is not high, he has the courage to sacrifice his life to fight to the death, and he is a rare member of the Taishan thief generals!

Song Jiang and the lords of the East China Sea Kingdom watched the battle from a high place, and 10,000 soldiers were not put into the battlefield as reserves and escorts.

When they saw that one of the other party's generals was fighting and not retreating, they couldn't help but shudder.

You must know that Chutian is just a group of second- and third-rate reserve generals who stay in Langya Kingdom, and there are still people like this, if Chutian's main force comes back, not to mention that there are 40,000 coalition troops in the East China Sea. Even if there are 100,000 coalition troops, it is estimated that they are not the opponent of Chutian's main force.

"That must be one of the Taishan thief generals that Chu Zimou subdued, either Zang Ba or Sun Guan."

Among the lords of the East China Sea Kingdom, there are clear-sighted people who know that Chutian has subdued a group of Taishan thief generals, and two of them can be used.

"Try to capture him and take him for yourself."

"He is already loyal to Chu Zimou, will he still surrender to us?"

"After all, it's just a group of Tarzan thief generals, so they shouldn't be very loyal."

"Pass the order down and capture that general alive!"

The lord of the East China Sea Kingdom ordered that the army of the East China Sea Kingdom, which was fighting hard against the army of the Langya Kingdom, began to encircle and suppress Sun Guan, who was trapped, intending to capture him alive.

Historical generals are hard to find, and ordinary lords can't wait to get him even if they encounter second- or third-rate historical generals, especially a general like Sun Guan who dares to work hard.

The lords of the East China Sea Kingdom made the same mistake as Cao Cao, which made Sun Guan unscrupulous, leading the cavalry to return to the camp of the Langya State after beheading hundreds of people in the East China Sea army.

Zang Ba was fighting in the front army, while Xueyue ascended to observe the situation, frowning slightly.

She and Zang Ba only had 12,000 men in their hands, and they lost a lot of losses in the tug-of-war with the Donghai Alliance, currently only 10,000, while the opposite Donghai State had at least 5,000 dead and wounded, but still had 35,000 people. Continue to fight, and it is only the army of Langya State that will be the first to collapse.

"But I can't leave the battlefield of Nine Towns in Hedong."

Xue Yue knew that retreating would only allow Song Jiang's East China Sea Alliance to drive straight in, and the already bad battle situation would be even worse.

The war with the East China Sea State has already destroyed the nine towns in Hedong, Kaiyang County has suffered losses, and once the East China Sea State coalition forces enter Ju County, Ju County will also be destroyed.

The two sides fought fiercely, and each of them withdrew their troops and prepared to fight again the next day.

Xueyue discussed with Zang Ba and Sun Guan, and temporarily withdrew to a town in the Nine Towns of Hedong for rest and defense.

When Xue Yue retreats to the town, he can also use the player's system to actively contact Summer Liang in Summer City.

"Xue Yue, holding on for ten days, managed to drag the East China Sea Coalition forces to Jiuzhen in Hedong, and the counterattack soon began. After defeating Cao Bao, I will join you. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm."

Summer Cool's answer was short, but Xueyue still chose to believe it.

"I just want to be a city lord......"

Xue Yue looked at the Song Jiang army camped on the opposite side and couldn't help but have a headache.

The official position that Chu Tian gave her was the city lord or the county order, which was originally an official position to govern internal affairs, but she was forced to come out to help Chu Tian fight every time, and now the Taishan thief generals all know her.

And every time it's an extremely tough battle.

In the Beihai Kingdom of Qingzhou, Zhao Gongzi, the lord who was besieging Dolgon, Wu Sangui, and Guan Hai, received Chutian's request for help and fell into deep thought.

Zhao Gongzi recruited his right-hand man: "Xue Wanche, you lead three thousand cavalry south to Langya Kingdom to see if you can help." If you can't do it, withdraw it. ”

"Yes!"

Xue Wanche immediately went to count the three thousand Qingzhou cavalry, marched in a hurry, and went south from Jimo to Langya Xiacheng, which would take some time.

"Chu Zimou, I want to help you, but three thousand Qingzhou cavalry is already the limit. If Dolgon and them are allowed to get out of Jimo, you and I will not have a good time in Beihai......"

Zhao Gongzi also has his troubles.

In the northern border of Goryeo, in the city of Yiju, an army of 60,000 professional soldiers and 100,000 villagers and a grain transport team were gathering to take advantage of this opportunity to invade Liaodong.

Choi Jae-sun, the lord of Goryeo, who was the commander, gathered a group of lords and finally put together an expeditionary force.

"Liaodong is one of the horse-producing areas, and the local soil is fertile, but it has not been developed. In Lords, it means that there is a lot of potential! Capture Liaodong, the threat to our north will be lifted, and at the same time, it will be possible to enter the Central Plains in the future! ”

"Now the Liaodong Taishou of the Eastern Han District is leading the elite Liaodong cavalry to crusade against Dong Zhuo, this is our chance to take advantage of the void, and there is only one chance!"

"If there is no opinion, we will secretly march to Liaodong, and quickly cross the Qianshan Mountains with cavalry, and march to Xiangping County to prevent the return of Liaodong Taishou."

Choi Jae-sun personally led an expeditionary force to begin the first expedition of Goryeo to Xiake, and his goal was to capture Xiangpyeong, the county capital of Liaodong.

As long as Xiangping County falls, Liaodong cavalry can be recruited in Xiangping County, and then divided into troops to pacify various places, and Liaodong County will be incorporated into Goryeo.

The other princes and lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty were either busy crusading against Dong Zhuo, or they were fighting each other, and they had no time to care about what was going on in Liaodong.

Moreover, Liaodong was a long way away, and the other county lords simply could not afford to go to Liaodong.

The only one who has the ability to defend Liaodong is Liaodong Taishou.

The 160,000 Goryeo army, of which 20,000 cavalry were the vanguard, forced the march through the Qianshan Mountains and went straight to Xiangping County.

When night fell, in the city of Xiacheng, Li Xiuning gathered all the troops in the city, including 8,000 veterans and 4,000 recruits, a total of 12,000 people. The city wall was handed over to the village warriors to guard.

Gathering all her forces meant that she had to give it a go.

The morale of the Xia City defenders was boosted because they had just won, and this was a rare opportunity.

The coalition forces below Xia Cheng were unable to overcome the attack for a long time, and they received another blow, and their morale was greatly affected.

Cao Bao and another military general, Zhen Rong, sent by Tao Qian, were discussing whether to continue attacking Xia Cheng next. Xia Cheng's morale was restored because of the appearance of a female general, so the next step was to continue to attack and suppress the morale of the defenders.

For Cao Bao, the price he has to bear is getting bigger and bigger.

Zhen Rong is a ruthless character, and he still advocates Cao Bao's strong attack: "These weak soldiers are recruited after they die in battle, there is no need to feel pity." We have already lost 20,000 men for the siege, and if we give up the attack, it will be the real waste of our previous efforts, and Lord Assassin will be disappointed in you, and will give up the power of the army. ”

When Cao Bao heard that Mi Fang, who was trying to compete with him for military power, his eyes were fierce: "Okay, from now on, continue to attack, we will take turns to supervise the siege, and invest 20,000 people each time, exhausting the physical strength of the defenders in the city, I don't believe that we can't break through the city!" ”

"That's it. After the city was breached, we plundered it to make up for the losses. ”

There was a bit of greed in his eyes.

After the city was broken, the loot was plundered, which was enough to make countless soldiers go forward and sacrifice their lives to attack the city.

The lords of the coalition camp are also deliberating, and they are wary of the sudden appearance of female generals in the summer city.

"Although I don't know who that female military general is, there must be strict restrictions on the ability to boost morale on a large scale, and she can't use it every time the city is broken, so as long as we maintain high-intensity siege tactics, Xia Cheng must be able to break through."

"Yes, no matter how powerful the generals are, they will fall under our crowd tactics. If you capture that female general, be sure to give it to me. ”

"Whoever catches it is whoever catches it."

"I hope we don't fight for a woman."

"That's a historical general."

"Let's first make three chapters of the law, and after the city is broken, see who moves fast."

However, neither Cao Bao, Kong Rong, nor the lords of the coalition army would have thought that the defenders, who had only more than 10,000 people left, would dare to go out of the city to counterattack on the premise of dividing their troops to defend the city.

In Xueyue City, which was one hundred and twenty kilometers away from Xia City, Taishan thieves Sun Kang and Wu Dun led 20,000 Qingzhou troops gathered from various villages, towns and cities to the south.

Originally, the Tarzan thieves were in such a dangerous situation, and the first thing that came to mind was to mutiny. However, Chutian's monarch characteristic "Great Sage and Good Teacher" can encircle the peasant army, bandit generals, plus Zang Ba and Sun Guan support Chutian, so the rest of the Taishan people will not surrender easily. This is also why Xia Liang ordered them to lead the Qingzhou army (recruited from the Qingzhou refugees) recruited from all over the Langya Kingdom to support Xia Cheng.

They are ready to join forces with Li Xiuning, and then Li Xiuning will be the commander and sweep away all the enemies in Langya!

The counterattack began.
