Chapter 650, Hefei
Players can't imagine that there are already people who can face the major princes of the world.
This is something that has never happened before.
Once Liu Feng led his troops to the north to crusade against the Yellow Turban, the alliance to punish Dong, also went north to attack Xuzhou, faced Liu Pan in Luling, and not long ago went west to conquer Jiangxia, although the action continued, but everyone knew that Liu Feng at that time was not facing the main force of the princes from all walks of life, and could only be regarded as a local war. After Tiance Mansion occupied Chang'an, it repeatedly defeated Guo Yan and Fan Chou, which was just a force after the Western Liang Army split and internal friction, and it had long since lost its previous momentum.
Therefore, Liu Feng's expedition to the north to defeat Yuan Shu this time can be regarded as the first time that the player has faced the great princes.
Who can win in the end, at this moment, whether it is Saibei or Jiangnan, whether it is the seaside or the desert, all players have their eyes on Jiangbei. Nearby players were even more excited, calling their friends to watch the game.
……
At this moment, Liu Feng has also come to Jiangbei with the army, and is waiting for the action of the navy.
Jiujiang County is not big, but the population is quite large, and there are more than a dozen county seats, and more importantly, Jiujiang is near the river, opposite to Danyang across the river, which has an impact on Liu Feng's blocking of the Yangtze River, and is one of the important reasons why Liu Feng wants to take the Lujiang River. Otherwise, Liu Feng would not be able to fully control the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The same position is also Guangling in Xuzhou, which is also necessary for Liu Feng in his plan.
Although Wu Yin was the vanguard, he was only the first to open the way, and if he really started a war, he would have to wait for Zhou Yu to lead the naval army to take all the rivers along the river.
This is not a difficult matter, the current Jiangdong Navy can be said to be invincible for the time being, and it was afraid that the impact would be bad before, but now there are no scruples.
Only half of the Lujiang River is in the hands of Liu Feng, and the North Lujiang River is still in the hands of Yuan Shu, and the Yuan Shu army in Lu'an has never been reduced. Wu Yin only took 1 million with him, and the rest stayed to continue to defend the city. In order to ensure the safety of Lujiang, Liu Feng also deliberately transferred Zhang Yun from Wu County to take over the post of Taishou.
This Zhang Yun is not the nephew of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but the head of the Zhang family in Wu County. After the four major families in Wu County took refuge in Liu Feng, the Gu family and the Lu family were more biased because of the relationship between Gu Yong and Lu Xun, and relatively speaking, the Zhang family's sense of existence was weaker. Fortunately, Zhang Yun is more familiar with current affairs, supports Liu Feng's policies, and has always been conscientious.
Although his reputation is not obvious, Zhang Yun's ability is still there, and the strength of the 7th order, backed by Jiancheng, is not afraid that there will be big problems in Lujiang. In this way, Liu Feng can go all out to attack Jiujiang.
……
Liu Feng didn't wait long, and soon the news came that after Zhou Yu lifted Yuan Shu's riverside defense, Bai Jian led his troops to break through Liyang quickly.
This former location of the Yangzhou Thorn History Department has long since declined. Although the city wall was still tall and strong, with the fall of Yuan Shu's army, it was gradually abandoned by Yuan Shu, and the population moved inward. In the face of the conquest of the army, he could not even resist for three days, and surrendered directly.
This made Liu Feng a little stunned, it had been more than ten days since the declaration of war, at least he thought that Yuan Shu had enough time to react and strengthen the defenses here, in order to resist Liu Feng's attack and buy time for mobilizing reinforcements.
However, in fact, it didn't, Yuan Shu not only did not strengthen the defense here, but even had the intention of giving up here. More and more news shows that in addition to Liyang, several counties in the south of Jiujiang, Fuling, Quanjiao, and Junyu have secretly evacuated the army.
The purpose is very clear, all pointing to one place - Hefei.
Hefei Zhixian has been around for hundreds of years, but it has always been unrecognizable before. In history, Yuan Shu called the emperor, and changed Jiujiang to Huainan Yin, which was later destroyed by Cao Cao, but Huainan County was occupied by Wei and Wu, and Hefei became the border between the two countries, which gradually became important and built a strong city. Later, Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao to garrison Hefei, Xiaoyaojin broke 100,000 from 7,000, and defeated Sun Quan in a battle, which made Hefei famous all over the world.
In the game, self-heating failed to do so, Yuan Shu seized Tao Qian's Xuzhou, and called the emperor in Pengcheng, Jiujiang is naturally still the original Jiujiang, and Shouchun has not been able to become the "imperial capital", but the status of Hefei is constantly improving. The root of all this is that because of the destruction of Yuan Shu's army, Yuan Shu did not dare to let the city develop too close to the river.
For Yuan Shu, who was born in the fourth world and the third prince and the "second generation of officials", this is definitely a shame, and he may have scolded Liu Feng more than once, but the reality forced him to have no choice but to do so to reduce his losses. This is also the reason why after Liu Feng declared war, there have been no reinforcements in Liyang and other places.
Because the army has gathered in Hefei, and Hefei is no longer a medium-sized city, but has become a large city, and the city wall has reached more than 7 zhang high.
After the news became clear, Liu Feng was no longer entangled, and directly ordered Wu Yin to lead the army to Hefei to pave the way for the army. And Zhou Yu's navy was not idle, and once again used warships to escort the army, and transported the army directly from the Yangtze River along the Nanqishui to Chaohu, and then directly to Hefei through the Beiqishui.
While Liu Feng was transporting troops, Yuan Shu had also been mobilizing troops and dispatching troops, and a steady stream of troops was driven to Hefei. Liu Feng did not stop this, his original intention was to temper the soldiers here, and the capture of the city had become secondary.
At the beginning of April, Liu Feng gathered an army of 4 million outside Hefei, and Yuan Shu concentrated an army of 5 million in the city. Ten encirclements, if it weren't for the arrival of a large army in the future, this battle could have been declared a defeat for Liu Feng.
When the army arrived, the next thing was naturally a big war.
Now Yuan Shu is facing only one enemy, Liu Feng, and the pressure has been sharply reduced compared to before. The army in his hand is enough, so naturally he doesn't need to be so careful to defend as before, and directly starts the counterattack mode. According to Yuan Shu's order, Chen Ji personally rushed from Yinling, gave up the benefits of the city, and took the army out of the city, preparing for a decisive battle with Liu Feng.
Needless to say, the battle between the Inhumans is still the first to start.
This so-called first head-to-head confrontation with the aboriginal princes attracted the attention of a large number of players, and many players who came to watch the battle joined the two camps. Some people are optimistic about Liu Feng, and naturally some people feel that Liu Feng is beyond his strength and joins Yuan Shu, a force that occupies an "absolute advantage". Even the number of players on both sides exceeds the number of armies on both sides.
In terms of quantity, Yuan Shu still occupies the majority, and there are also other lord players and people organized by the Great Guild, after all, there are too many people who want to see Liu Feng's bad luck. Although Jiang ASEAN is strong, relatively speaking, the number of people is still too small.
But Liu Feng can't help it, no matter how much, he won't be able to afford it. Even now, Jiang ASEAN's main source of income is created by themselves, and relying on Liu Feng to distribute the spoils of war is only a small part of it.
This is also a disadvantage for solo players.
The first day of the Great War is a battle between players. Until now, as long as it is not particularly unlucky, except for life professionals, the strength of most players is above the level. Although there is still no one who has advanced to the 7th level, there are not a few people who have reached the 5th or 6th level. These people have a stronger sense of freedom, except for a few guilds, they are at a disadvantage in arranging troops, but their individual strength is very strong. So on the battlefield on this day, you can see colorful lights on the field from time to time - that is a sign of using skills.
Today's players are not the era when they died at the first touch, and their survivability has improved a lot. Tens of millions of players didn't finally end until they fought for three days, and there were only tens of thousands of people left on both sides. On the scene, it was still Yuan Shu who had the advantage.
From the fourth day, the battle between Liu Feng and Yuan Shu officially began.
