Pingyuan County is tired of the port, compared with the neighboring Bohai Port of Bohai County, it is a big deal, and because of its proximity to each other, it has been further robbed of "popularity".

Just look at the name, one is named after a "county", and the other is named after a "county"!

In the previous two months, the port had been patronized three times, except for the first time to resist a wave of feints by the Chu navy, after which the Chu navy withdrew to Bohai County, and the other two times were breached and plundered.

Chu naturally has other descriptions of its behavior of liberating slave workshops, but in the eyes of the Wei people, it belongs to "captivity", and the Wei court also propagandized it in this way.

Lu Bu did not deny that he had seized some of the spoils of war in the just war, and whether it was Bai Tu or the government and the opposition of Chu State, they all agreed with this very much.

When the first time it was breached, the defenders of Wei were still losing troops here, and the second time it was ...... The Wei state had already abandoned this place, and the basic facilities of the port were also destroyed, so that the Chu state needed to change boats when it landed.

In this November, which has already entered winter, Yici County obviously did not expect that he would be attacked again at this time!

And this time, the Chu army was not "shopping", but 8,000 elite horsemen went straight to the county seat......

That's right, it was the strange soldiers led by Zhang Liao - 8,000 were all "cavalry", but only 3,000 were real cavalry, and the other 5,000 were ...... It's just infantry with horses.

Of course, because the latter was also institutionalized as a new branch of the army by the Privy Council, it was not a primitive "horse" used, but a civilian horse training, a kind of ...... A vehicle that looks like a hovering tricycle!

In short, it does not have the ability to charge cavalry, but it can greatly improve the ability to escort supplies, and can barely keep up with the cavalry that slows down a little when running from a distance.

For the Chu army, transportation was obviously important - unobstructed transportation meant that artillery was knocking on the door......

That night, after Zhang Liao organized the landing, just at dawn, he rushed to the location of the city of Yanci, and after a lot of artillery fire, he successfully broke through the door and captured the county seat of Yanci!

And at noon on the same day, the main force of Lu Bu, which was originally in charge of "Shengdong", came to the aid of Yici this time, and Zhang Liao's cavalry troops, after a short morning of repair, continued to rush in the northwest direction......

The target is Nanpi, the seat of Bohai County and an important town in the east of Jizhou!

From the beginning of the Yuan Shao period, Nanpi is the focus of the construction of the military city, in the battle of the White Horse, after the Yuan family's vitality was greatly injured, Yuan Tan is to Nanpi as the base camp, and survived for a few years, for the Chu State to win the time to completely open the generation gap development.

Even after the "shrinkage" of the Wei army, Nanpi is one of the places that must be defended, but now it is obviously lacking vigilance......

Calculating the time, I am afraid that the defeated army may not be able to warn first.

However, since it is a military city, there is naturally no reason for "lonely city to defend", and it is a military village to rush on the surrounding roads.

However, under Zhang Liao's surprise attack, these ordinary military villages were directly demolished by the "transport cavalry" and killed all the way to Nanpi City......

In fact, even if it is an ordinary military village, if it is properly prepared and has trenches to cooperate, it may not be able to stop Zhang Liao's wave of advance, but it is just ...... Unprepared, preparing to rely on wooden, iron-clad antlers and the like to resist the cavalry and artillery of the Chu State is obviously thinking too much!

Zhang Liao also carried forward very well, and the tactics of Baitu's "personal transmission" - artillery bombardment, cavalry charge, and infantry ......

That is, in the early 19th century, the "mainstream" tactics of Napoleon, the legendary emperor of the country!

First wash the ground with artillery, then charge with cavalry, and then press with infantry to occupy the position......

To the greatest extent, the strategy of giving full play to the superiority of the developed country in artillery and cavalry at that time.

And now the third step can also be omitted, after all, Zhang Liao only has 8,000 people, and the purpose is only to break through the defense line, as for standing in a position or something, it can be handed over to the main force behind.

As the "spearhead", Zhang Liao undoubtedly completed the task very well, because he killed Nanpi City as quickly as possible.

Even if the walls of the military city are extraordinarily thick, and there are acropolises and walls around it, the structure is very complex and resistant, which is conducive to the defenders, and the artillery cannot be pushed up for a while......

However, Zhang Liao's wave of quick attacks did cause chaos in the Nanpi formation!

And at this time, Lu Bu's main force had begun to press, and steadily began to occupy the position, step by step.

Guarding the city of Nanpi is also a good general of Wei - Li Dian.

In the history without the White Rabbit effect, Zhang Liao was one of the deputies when he was guarding Hefei.

Li Dian's style is completely different from Zhang Liao, both in life and in the deployment of troops, he is very conservative and restrained.

As for the ...... in history,

After all, it was Zhang Liaocai who was the commander, and Li Dian was only mobilized.

And now in Nanpi, when Li Dian himself is a general, he shows more of his "elegant and easy-going" style, although it is stable, but it seems very passive.

However, it is true that in terms of ability, Li Dian is weaker than the first-line generals of the Wei State, and at this time, he is in the crucial position of Nanpi, but he is not the commander of the defense of Bohai County.

Soon Yu Ban, the coach of Bohai County, after learning the news, became more decisive, not only actively came to help, but also made a grand strategy of "blocking Lu and Zhang"!

Reorganize the defense, in order to hold off Lu Bu's main force, and ...... Take the opportunity to annihilate Zhang Liao, who has already entered the encirclement of your own side!

Of course, whether it is "entering the encirclement of his own side" or being "killed by the enemy army into the defense line", Yu Ban himself knows it, but it is just a morale-boosting statement.

And Yu Ban's luck doesn't know whether to say good or bad......

It is said that the autumn and winter in the north are very dry, but just on the third day when Zhang Liao came to Nanpi City, when Yu Ban had already arrived, it coincided with a day of heavy rain, and even when it had already begun, there was already some sleet!

As a result, not only the Zhang Liao Division, which was dominated by the Southern Army, was reduced in combat effectiveness because of the sudden drop in temperature, but also the role of artillery was greatly reduced in the follow-up Xili.

Yu Ban thought that the opportunity could not be lost, and raised the fire as a signal, not only besieged in all directions, but even ordered Li Dian to lead his troops out of the city to meet the enemy, preparing to eat the 8,000 people!

Until this time, Yu Ban's luck seemed to be very good?

After all, if it weren't for the fact that Tiangong was not beautiful, it would not be easy to swallow Zhang Liao first in the few days that he would be dragging Lu Bu's main force.

However, if you want to say bad luck, it is that Zhang Liao is under siege, not only has his fighting spirit exploded, but he has also been in Xiaopei before...... No, it should be said that the combat skills that have gradually accumulated and matched his characteristics since he was fighting in the state have also been completely awakened at this time!

Seed of Fear - When leading the battle of the Division, the deterrent power is greatly increased, and the enemy army that is shocked and defeated by Zhang Liao's Division will carry the Seed of Fear that can be spread, spreading the collapse of morale, and effectively accelerating the collapse of the enemy's morale......
