"Dorgon, the imperial court has sent millions of troops to attack us in two directions. What should we do?"

When Guan Hai, the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army, realized that the governors and prefects of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou had united, the crusade had already entered Jinan and Beihai.

Dorgon led the cavalry on a rapid march from Jimo to Gaomi County. At this time, Guan Hai did not know the progress of the march of the various governors and governors.

Guan Hai's military force was not low, but he lacked intelligence. He could bully Kong Rong, Jiao He and other literati who did not know how to fight, but when he encountered Cao Cao and other princes' joint advance, he was at a loss.

Dorgon held a map in his hand: "When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will cover them. The officers and soldiers claim to be a million-strong army. According to the information provided to me by Yiren, there are only two to three hundred thousand people at most. In addition to the main force, they must leave at least tens of thousands

People guard the food roads."

"There are two of us guarding Beihai Kingdom, so who will guard Jinan Kingdom?"

"I have sent a fierce general to Jinan Kingdom to command the defense. He will definitely make the western expeditionary army bloody."

Dorgon was not afraid of the 270,000 imperial troops who were attacking him because he had more soldiers and horses in his hands.

Seeing that Dorgon was confident, Guan Hai felt relieved and asked, "Where should we go next?"

Dorgon pointed to a county in the Beihai Kingdom on the map: "Go to Anqiu County for an ambush. If the Xuzhou Army wants to join Beihai, it must pass through Anqiu County."

Dongwu County, like other counties, is a county in the northern part of Langya Kingdom. It was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army at this time.

This is also the ninth county that Chutian plans to occupy.

Taking advantage of the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, he unified the Langya Kingdom and became a veritable prime minister of the Langya Kingdom.

Zhou Yafu was responsible for coordinating the attack on the city. The war drums were beating and the shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth!

There were approximately 20,000 to 30,000 Yellow Turbans in Dongwu County. Facing Zhou Yafu's attack on the city, the Yellow Turbans defending the city felt unprecedented pressure.

Zhou Yafu managed the army rigorously, and his troops could maintain high morale. Even if they were unable to attack the city for a long time, they would not be frustrated and could continuously attack Dongwu County.

At the same time, Zhou Yafu's troops had high defense and suffered less losses during the siege.

However, the defenders' advantage was too great. Zhou Yafu's army attacked for a day and killed more than a thousand Yellow Turban troops, but they were unable to defeat it.

Chu Tian ordered the entire army to stay overnight in Dongwu County and attack Dongwu County the next day. He ordered Xu Sheng to lead soldiers to patrol, and Xueyue, Sun Kang, and Wu Dun were stationed in various counties.

Then Chu Tian summoned generals Fang Xuanling, Zhou Yafu, Hua Mulan, Li Guang, Xue Rengui, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan to discuss the capture of Dongwu County.

Fang Xuanling said: "If you want to capture Dongwu County as soon as possible, please form an advance team and take the risk to attack the city."

Li Guang was eager to make a contribution: "Lord, please order me to be the first to ascend!"

Xue Rengui, Hua Mulan, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan also asked for orders: "Please be the last general to ascend first!"

"If all the generals go forward to ascend first, who will command the troops?"

Naturally, Chu Tian would not use all the generals as first troops: "Hua Mulan led the cavalry to guard against Wu Sangui on the flanks. I suspect that he still has not escaped far. Zang Ba will remain in reserve, and Li Guang, Xue Rengui, and Sun Guan will all be on guard tomorrow."

Lead a team to attack Dongwu City first."

"Here!"

Among the three Xianden generals, Sun Guan had the lowest military force. He was excited that Chu Tian appointed him as Xianden.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

Chutian knew that among the Taishan thieves, Zang Ba was the most capable and Sun Guan was the most desperate. Therefore, although Sun Guan's force was not high enough, it was only compared to Li Guang and Xue Rengui. In fact, Sun Guan's force was inferior to that of the ordinary Yellow Turban Army.

Saying that is enough to make them despair.

In the woods thirty miles away from Chutian's camp, Wu Sangui led a Yellow Turban cavalry and a team of Yellow Turban commanders to hide in it. There were also 50,000 Yellow Turban infantry further away.

He was sent by Dorgon to deal with Chu Tian. Wu Sangui, who was repeatedly frustrated at the hands of Chu Tian and Chu Tian's generals, gradually grew up and found that he had to be as cunning as a fox to bite Chu Tian.

"You will definitely continue to attack Dongwu County tomorrow. Then I will lead the cavalry to attack from the flanks and cooperate with the defenders inside and outside. I will definitely be able to defeat you!"

Wu Sangui gnawed on burnt cakes, slept in the open air, and even hid in the humid woods, just to defeat Chu Tian. If Chu Tian knew that Wu Sangui was so dedicated to him, he would definitely be moved and kill him.

The next day, Zhou Yafu continued to organize the siege, and the drums continued to beat.

Different from yesterday, Chutian took the risk and sent three generals to conquer Dongwu County as soon as possible, risking injuries or even death.

By capturing Dongwu County, Chutian opened the gateway to Beihai Kingdom and at the same time brought Dongwu County into his own sphere of influence.

Xue Rengui, Li Guang, and Sun Guan were wearing iron armor and sharp armor, and each led a group of Xiliu Camp soldiers, preparing to ascend first.

The soldiers of Xiliu Camp are currently the best infantrymen in Chutian's forces. They do not easily commit themselves to attacking fortresses. At this time, they are used as the advance team, which is enough to illustrate Chutian's determination.

Three generals, each equipped with 200 Xiliu Camp soldiers, a total of 600 people, served as the main force in this critical battle.

Zhou Yafu commanded the Shesheng Battalion, and the Xuzhou crossbowmen suppressed the Yellow Turban Army archers on the city wall, and then deployed low-level light infantry to confuse the Yellow Turban Army inside the city to cover the three generals who had ascended first to suddenly attack the city.

While the battle in Dongwu County was going on, Wu Sangui estimated that the time was about to expire, so he led the Yellow Turban Cavalry, Yellow Turban Chief, and Yellow Turban Infantry to leave the woods in the hilly area and make a desperate move to attack the flank of Chutian's army.

He wanted to use Chu Tian's best tactics to attack Chu Tian.

Wu Sangui couldn't wait to see Chu Tian's desperate expression when he was defeated by his best tactics.

Wu Sangui was only thirty miles away from Chu Tian's army.

A black war eagle hovered in the sky. From a bird's-eye view, a mighty army walked out of the woods one after another, forming a long dragon more than ten miles long, marching rapidly in the direction of Chutian's army.

The fastest among them is Wu Sangui's cavalry. He only needs to ensure that the cavalry breaks through Chu Tian's formation and that when the battle with Chu Tian falls into a fierce battle, the yellow turban infantry and archers from behind arrive in time.

The war eagle circled for a while and then flew south.

Wu Sangui accidentally saw the war eagle in the sky, but he didn't care.

The siege battle in Dongwu County once again reached a stalemate. Wu Sangui left a supervising team in Dongwu County to ensure that the Yellow Turban Army in the city would not collapse easily. According to Wu Sangui's idea, Dongwu County can hold on for at least seven days. Seven days is enough.

Wu Sangui played on the outside.

Hua Mulan led the cavalry to watch the brutal siege, but Chu Tian did not let her take the lead.

The war eagle returned and landed on Hua Mulan's shoulder.

"Um?"

Hua Mulan received important information from War Eagle and came to Chutian to whisper in Chutian's ear.

Although Hua Mulan's tone was as breathtaking as an orchid's, Chu Tian was even more interested in the information: "I didn't expect that Wu Sangui would dare to attack me. Fortunately, he was discovered by the war eagle and was not successfully attacked by Wu Sangui. In the future, I will make this war eagle a general."

Official position."

Chu Tian immediately mobilized Hua Mulan, Zang Ba, and Xu Sheng to lead cavalry, infantry, and archers respectively to ambush Wu Sangui, and then continued to attack the city.

Chu Tian was very greedy and wanted to defeat Wu Sangui and capture Dongwu County.

Wu Sangui came with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, among which 3,000 Yellow Turban cavalry were the fastest.

"Hurry! You will be defeated soon!"

Wu Sangui's cavalry was galloping at lightning speed, and with his rich experience in marching and fighting, he could roughly estimate how many miles there were before Chu Tian's army was located.

Suddenly, Wu Sangui saw the black eagle appearing in the sky in front of him again. His military intuition gave Wu Sangui a bad feeling.

"It must be my misunderstanding."

Wu Sangui suddenly felt flustered, but couldn't give a reason.

At this time, he had decided to raid Chutian. The army had already moved and there was no way to turn back.

"Fire the arrow!"

Wu Sangui's cavalry fell into an ambush set by Hua Mulan, Zang Ba, and Xu Sheng. Under the command of Xu Sheng, the crossbowmen fired thousands of arrows!

Among Xu Sheng's archers are naval archers. Naval archers can also fight on land. Marines who cannot fight on land are not good navy, but their abilities will be weakened.

Hua Mulan led a group of heavy cavalry to block the front. She put on heavy Mingguang armor and held in her hand the four-meter-long horse spear that Chutian specially brought for her.

Behind Hua Mulan is a group of Goguryeo heavy cavalry and Xuzhou heavy cavalry, also raising their horses.

This kind of horse is produced in Shangbi Town, Xia City, and is a gold-level heavy cavalry weapon.

The heavy sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and the time around them seemed to have stopped. All the Yellow Turban cavalry held their breath and sweated profusely.

Ta! Ta! The horse's hooves trampled, leaving deep horse hoof prints! The cavalry's military boots stepped on the stirrups, clamped the horse's belly, and launched a torrent of steel charge!

Anyone appears weak in front of the torrent of steel!

Three thousand Yellow Turban Army light cavalry encountered a terrifying heavy cavalry. They knew that the opponent's number was small, but they had only one idea to escape!

The light cavalry was attacked head-on by the heavy cavalry, without any suspense!

Wu Sangui took off his shield, blocked the arrows fired by Xu Sheng's archers, turned his horse's head, and fled to the rear. His surprise attack was discovered, and the chance of winning by surprise was lost.

Hua Mulan's heavy cavalry crashed into the Yellow Turban cavalry, and the sharp horse spear pierced two Yellow Turban cavalry at the same time!

The torrent of steel rolled past, dozens of Yellow Turban cavalry were stabbed to death, and they were defeated in one blow!

"Go ahead and attack the city!"

In Dongwu County, after Zhou Yafu used ordinary soldiers to consume the defenders, he finally sent in the advance team as his trump card.

Three fierce generals, Li Guang, Xue Rengui, and Sun Guan, each led 200 Xiliu Camp soldiers and carried ladders to attack the city!

The three advance teams were hidden among ordinary soldiers by Zhou Yafu, making it difficult for the defenders to distinguish them for a while.

The heavy ladder formed the city wall. Xue Rengui held the Fang Tian painted halberd and walked as fast as flying. He stepped on the ladder as if walking on flat ground. Behind him, a group of Xiliu Camp soldiers followed closely, holding up their shields to block the stones.

The Yellow Turban Army did not expect that a general from the other side would suddenly participate in the attack on the city. They had no time to pour fire oil on them and were killed by Xue Rengui to the city wall.
