Chapter 39: Killing Pigs and Fattening Pigs

Xu Xuan promised that as long as he could capture Wancheng, he would immediately promote himself to Nanyang's position. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At the same time, the lieutenant can also be appointed by himself.

Although this is a naked temptation, Li and Tang are still willing to accept this temptation.

Li Tang's current strength does not mean that it is not enough to capture Wancheng, nor does it mean that he will suffer heavy casualties if he captures Wancheng.

For siege, Li Tang has simple means, and he doesn't have to work so hard.

However, if he captures Wancheng in an instant, it will inevitably cause too many people to be jealous!

After all, his own army is only 1 million people! 1 million people to capture a city defended by millions of people, that is too rebellious.

To say that Li Tang's current mobile strength only retains 1 million people.

And the 600,000 people who hacked Xu Xuan, Li Tang threw them into the Qiankun bracelet, and let them be loyal to him first.

Moreover, Li Tang has more than 600,000 elites!

In fact, when Li Tang sent Guo Kan to meet these routs, Guo Kan also met the Yellow Turban Army who rushed to pursue the rout, and these Yellow Turban Army touched about 100,000 people, all of whom were cavalry.

If these 100,000 cavalry are allowed to catch up with the rout, then these rout troops are estimated to be wiped out!

However, they ran into Guo Kan's cavalry, so they should be unlucky!

Guo Kan also has 100,000 cavalry, but the quality of the soldiers on both sides is different. Therefore, Guo Kan's cavalry directly knocked these cavalry into collapse, and wanted to escape, but they couldn't.

There should also be players among the Yellow Turban Cavalry, who managed to send a message to the Yellow Turban Army in the city, and the Yellow Turban Army sent another 300,000 cavalry to eat their own cavalry in one fell swoop.

Of course, the consequences can be imagined, how can the Yellow Turban cavalry be the opponent of the Mongolian iron cavalry?

In addition, the cavalry commander Guo Kan took over, and even killed the general in the Yellow Turban Cavalry, and even Zhao Ci, the general who made meritorious contributions, was picked by Guo Kan with a shot.

The main general died, and the cavalry naturally lost their morale. So, they all dismounted and surrendered!

In the end, Guo Kan defeated the strong with the weak, and captured 360,000 soldiers and 380,000 war horses.

Of course, these soldiers were also embezzled by Li Tang. Previously, Li Tang attacked the city all the way and plundered the village, but it was just a small fight, which did not attract Zhao Hong's attention at all.

After this battle, the Yellow Turban Army knew the strength of Li Tang's army, and they no longer dared to underestimate Li Tang.

However, it's not okay for the Yellow Turban Army to bully Li Tang, it's okay to bully the two cities of Deng County and An Zhongguo.

There weren't many defenders in these two cities, after all, they were originally behind the imperial army, and they were very safe, and they didn't need many troops to garrison them.

However, since the fall of Wancheng and the flight of the imperial army, there are no outsiders around Wancheng except for Li Tang's army. Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army sent 600,000 troops and easily captured the two cities.

After all, the defenders of the two cities saw that they were isolated and helpless, and they had no fighting spirit, and when they saw that the enemy army was too strong, they quickly surrendered.

The loss of these two cities rekindled the ambitions of the Yellow Turban Army.

At the same time, it also made Xu Xuan anxious.

After all, the only battle results in his hands have now been lost, and he has no way to explain to the emperor! It's a pity that Xu Xuan's strength has not yet recovered, and he can't make another northern expedition to Wancheng. Of course, it doesn't mean that there is no army in Jingzhou, there are still tens of millions of troops in Xiangyang City, but Xu Xuan didn't dare to send troops easily before he had a perfect strategy.

In case he takes all the soldiers away, there are fewer people left in the family, and it is inevitable that some people will covet them. When the time comes, it won't be easy to lose Xiangyang! After all, Xiangyang is much more important than Wancheng!

Li Tang wrote to Xu Xuan saying that he was weak and could not attack the city independently, and needed Xu Xuan's assistance.

No, Li Tang has no ambitions, ideas.

In dealing with the aborigines, Li Tang still has ambitions.

If he captures Wancheng, then Xu Xuan will naturally not break his promise, and will protect himself as the Taishou of Nanyang. And he will also send more gold, silver and jewelry to He Jin, so that he can say a few kind words to ensure that he can be smooth at that time. To be honest, He Jin also hopes that there will be a powerful figure here in Nanyang, so that he can protect his family's interests in Nanyang.

Now, Wancheng's military strength has expanded several times, and it has reached 5 million, although it has lost 400,000, plus 600,000 troops stationed in Deng County and An Zhongguo, but Wancheng still has 4 million troops, and the north and south camps outside Wancheng can still be retained, if you want to capture Wancheng, how easy is it!

Therefore, Xu Xuan received Li Tang's reply that he was unable to attack the city, and he also expressed his understanding.

At the same time, he informed Li Tang that Xu Xuan planned to send an additional 2 million sailors to Wancheng in the near future, hoping that Li Tang could cooperate. Li Tang naturally agreed not to mention it.

Let's say that Shi Tianze found Li Tang here and asked:

"Lord, since Xu Tingshi promised us that after capturing Wancheng, he would protect the lord as the Taishou of Nanyang, why don't we take Wancheng in one go? Anyway, the strength of our army far exceeds that of the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng, even if it is only 1 million people, the comprehensive strength is more than the 10 million people of the Yellow Turban Army.

Moreover, the elite siege effect is better. As long as we can tear through a line of defense, this city will be easy to breach. As for the soldiers of the two large battalions outside the city, there is no need to worry. As long as 200,000 are set aside to block them, there is no problem at all. After all, in siege warfare, the combat power of the soldiers was restrained by the city wall, but in the field battle, our soldiers were completely stress-free, and the combat power would only be stronger. ”

Li Tang was a little moved when he heard this, but he turned his head and thought about it, if he easily captured Wancheng, he would inevitably be feared by all players.

At this stage, there are a lot of players who have become the county commander of the system, but none of them have become Taishou.

What's more, once you show your military strength against the sky, then your own family will inevitably have trouble in the future!

After all, as a player, Li Tang knows that if all players are deliberately dealing with you, you will definitely not have a peaceful life. Players kill people, set fires, poison and rebel, but they don't spare their lives at all. Today's Li Tang is still weak and can't stand the toss, not to mention that low-key is the king!

"That's it! Although I also think that we can capture Wancheng, the damage of the soldiers is estimated to be not small. Besides, if he really won Wancheng by dividing it by two, it is estimated that it will also cause Xu Xuan's jealousy. At that time, won't he still promote me as Nanyang Taishou?

I think we should use more passive tactics, at least, Xu Xuan should take the lead, weaken his strength first, and then he must rely on me, so that we can have more say! ”

Of course, Li Tang can't make it clear that he is afraid of players.

"The lord is wise! If we really capture Wancheng, it is estimated that Xu Xuan will also be afraid of three points. Still, let him take the lead in capturing Wancheng, and we will beat the side drum.

Moreover, even if you win Wancheng and get the false name of Nanyang Taishou now, you won't get too many benefits, it's better to wait and see the incident, maybe there will be a bigger gain! ”

Shi Tianze quickly understood Li Tang's estimate, thought about it for a while, and recognized Li Tang's concerns.

"But, my lord. Although we will not attack Wancheng, we can still take the two cities of Deng County and An Zhongguo, which are occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. In this way, we have essentially occupied, all the system cities in Nanyang County except Wancheng!

Moreover, when we attack these two cities, we can also attack slowly without being too anxious, one is to paralyze outsiders, so that others can underestimate the strength of our army, and the other is to encircle and send reinforcements, as long as Wancheng dares to send troops to support, we will eat it. ”

"That's great!"

Let's say that Zhao Hong, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng, heard that the two cities of Deng County and An Zhongguo were besieged, and he wanted to send people to support, but his subordinates Han Zhong and Sun Xia thought that there were 600,000 soldiers in the cities of these two cities, plus 700,000 newly recruited soldiers and prisoners.

Zhao Hong heard this:

"It's good! Now our army lacks cavalry, and sends foot soldiers to the rescue, which is easy to be ambushed by the army of Zhangling County, which does not know where the cavalry came from, which is very powerful. Hundreds of thousands of my cavalry were lost in their hands. It's really dangerous to send foot soldiers there now! ”

"Daqu Shuai, the cavalry from Zhang Ling is strong in the field, but the siege ability should not be strong. Therefore, our army should try to minimize the number of times it goes out of the city so as not to be attacked by them. As long as we hold the city, accumulate combat strength, and then train cavalry, we can fight against them! After all, only cavalry can deal with cavalry! ”

"Cavalry is easy to call, war horses are hard to buy!" Zhao Hong said with emotion.

"Qi Yu Daqu Shuai, a new soldier under his subordinates, this person is well-informed and quite resourceful, he said that he can buy a large number of war horses! And the price is right! ”

When Han Zhong heard this, he thought of a small force that had recently taken refuge in him, this force was not very strong in itself, but it was well-informed, and it provided him with a lot of information, which was basically accurate. Therefore, Han Zhong still values them very much. Today, Zhao Hong sighed that the war horse is difficult to find, so he has this feeling!

"Is there such a way? That's good, let him help buy war horses, and the price is negotiable. The more he can buy, the more we will reward him. If he asks for anything else, we can be satisfied with him. ”

Zhao Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and did not question Han Zhong at all, which is also the reason why Zhao Hong was able to become the commander of Daqu and was convinced by the army.

Obviously, the small forces under Han Zhong are naturally the player forces that have defected to the Yellow Turban Army. If there's one player's biggest specialty, it's being well-informed. Actually! In fact, this player himself has no way to buy a horse, and what he said is just to boast about Haikou first, and then fool first.

However, now Han Zhongxin thought it was true, and when he found him and asked him to buy war horses, he also agreed, although he didn't know where to buy war horses, but as a player, the information was posted on the forum, and some people were willing to help.

Therefore, this player quickly bought hundreds of horses in the Nanyang area through the forum. After all, given a reasonable price, those players who have horses are still willing to sell.

ps: The notebook is broken, and it took a week to repair. There are no other places to save the manuscript, so I stopped changing. It will be added later. In this unfortunate week, the stock lost 40,000 and Mahjong lost 5,000. nnd, it's better to write novels at home honestly.
