Chapter 210 The powerful country of Langya!(1/2)
"I have entered Kaiyang County. This should be the location of the nine towns in Hedong indicated on the map. I wonder if I am too late."
Tang Dynasty cavalry general Xue Wanche obeyed the order of Prince Zhao and led a forced march of 3,000 Qingzhou light cavalry south to support the Langya Kingdom. Since Beihai Kingdom was far away from the south of Langya Kingdom, even the light cavalry took a long time to march.
The place where Langya Kingdom requested his support was Jiu Town in the east of Hedong, where there were the Langya troops of Xue Yue, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan, and they were at war with Song Jiang's Dong Hai navy.
"Delay Song Jiang at all costs! Since they have caused us some small losses, they can't leave so easily!"
Xue Yue, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan commanded the Langya Army with less than 10,000 people, and used all their strength to block Song Jiang's Donghai Army in order to hold it back!
Both sides fighting in the nine towns of Hedong knew about the war in Xiacheng and Langya City in Hexi. Xia Liang, Li Xiuning, Li Kui, Sun Liuwan, Sun Kang, and Wu Dun worked together to defeat the ten soldiers with inferior troops and fire attacks.
More than ten thousand enemies.
The siege of Xia City and Langya City was lifted, and the defenders of Langya Kingdom launched a full-scale counterattack in their own territory!
Hedong Jiuzhen, Xue Yue, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan were still at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, and it was difficult for them to use tactics to defeat Song Jiang, but they learned that Xia Liang was destroying the enemies in Hexi and planned to bring Li Xiuning, Sun Liuwan, and Sun Kang
, after Wu Dun’s generals marched eastward to the nine towns of Hedong, they made up their minds to drag Song Jiang’s Donghai Kingdom army to the nine towns of Hedong!
The Donghai Kingdom's army looted five of the nine towns in Hedong. If you want to just leave like this, you would be making a big mistake!
The lord of the East China Sea and Song Jiang wanted to escape back to Licheng of the East China Sea as soon as possible, but they were held back by Xue Yue and Zang Ba's infantry archers. The Taishan bandit general Sun Guan led a small number of light cavalry to continuously raid the flanks, making the East China Army's
The marching speed is greatly affected.
If he leads the light cavalry to escape from Langya Kingdom, the lord of Donghai Kingdom can easily escape.
But that would mean abandoning thirty thousand infantry and archers.
They were reluctant to give 30,000 professional soldiers to the Langya Kingdom. These were the soldiers they had recruited with great difficulty.
Most of the soldiers and horses that Cao Bao lost were soldiers recruited from Donghai Kingdom and Xiapi Kingdom. If we add the soldiers and horses lost by their lords, Donghai Kingdom will probably not have enough professional soldiers to stop Langya Kingdom from going south.
"They are like tarsal maggots, they simply linger!"
The lords of the East China Sea Kingdom were a little desperate. It was easy for them to push down Hedong Jiu Town, but they struggled when they were counterattacked. If they didn't do it right, the whole army would be annihilated in the Langya Kingdom!
Xue Yue, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan regained their strength and captured the Donghai Kingdom's army led by Song Jiang.
On the other side of the horizon, a large group of soldiers and horses arrived, carrying the flag of Xia City!
The soldiers and horses that Xia Cheng won in Hexi have arrived!
Xia Liang personally conquered Hedong as a civil servant and commanded Sun Kang. Wu Dun led a group of cavalry to intercept and interfere. Li Xiuning personally led the main force of infantry and archers into the battlefield, planning to attack Song Jiang's Eastern Navy head-on with Zang Ba's army!
The Donghai Kingdom's army realized that the situation was not good, and Song Jiang ordered to abandon the baggage vehicles and retreat lightly, intending to save as many troops and horses as possible for the lords of the East China Sea Kingdom.
"Hush!"
Xue Wanche's powerful arms tightened the reins. He led three thousand Qingzhou cavalry south and arrived at the battlefield in time!
There are four armies on the battlefield now!
Xueyue, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan's remnants of troops are about 8,000 to 9,000 strong.
Xia Liang, Li Xiuning, and Sun Kang's Hexi troops totaled about 30,000 people.
The Qingzhou cavalry reinforcements led by Xue Wanche consisted of three thousand cavalry.
Song Jiang led the East China Sea Allied Forces, leaving 34,000 people.
For the first time, the Langya Kingdom’s camp has a military advantage!
Everyone in Langya Kingdom had long known that Chu Tian had reached an agreement with Mr. Zhao and asked Mr. Zhao to send a cavalry group south to relieve the siege.
The cavalry led by Tang Dynasty cavalry general Xue Wanche was not something Song Jiang could resist.
Xia Liang's people waved flags, signaling Xue Wanche's cavalry to hold Song Jiang back and annihilate Song Jiang's Donghai Kingdom army in the Jiuzhen area of Hedong!
Xue Wanche understood and held a horse-stem in his hand: "All officers and men obey the order and destroy the enemy!"
Three thousand Qingzhou cavalry followed the fierce general Xue Wanche and launched a pursuit of the East China Sea Army!
Song Jiang tried his best to maintain the formation, but the East China Sea Army, which was attacked from three sides, was shaken in morale. It was already unable to maintain order. It was attacked by the Qingzhou Cavalry, which made it even more chaotic!
At the same time, Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning's army pressed forward. She used the second incentive effect to let the morale of the Langya Kingdom infantry and archers under her command rise rapidly. With the highest morale, they entered the Donghai Kingdom army and attacked fiercely.
enemy!
The valiant soldiers of the Langya Kingdom fought one after another and charged into the enemy's formation, becoming invincible!
High morale means the best fighting condition. In contrast, the morale of the East China Sea Army collapsed and it was completely defeated!
"I have endured it for so many days, and I can finally kill you!"
Sun Guan used a long spear to charge and kill in the Donghai Kingdom army. The Donghai Kingdom army was busy escaping and would not look back to fight again, so Sun Guan killed unscrupulously and was invincible!
Even third-rate military generals such as Sun Kang and Wu Dun can achieve great military exploits on the premise that their own army suppresses the opponent!
"Our naval battalion cannot lag behind, harvest heads and gain military glory!"
Sun Liuwan's confidence doubled because he defeated Xuzhou general Cao Bao who had fled. At this time, he dared to lead the naval battalion to attack the enemy's formation and hunt down the remaining soldiers.
The naval battalion can still defeat the troops on land.
Compared with the second- and third-line generals left behind in Langya Kingdom, Xue Wanche was Zhao Gongzi’s first-line general. He held a horse in his hand and attacked the East China Sea army. His thick arms were powerful, swinging the horse and killing twenty or thirty people in the East China Sea.
Soldiers, you are so brave!
"escape!"
Seeing that the army was defeated and unable to control the situation, the lords of the East China Sea made up their mind to abandon the army and fled back to the East China Sea with only the most important cavalry troops.
General Song Jiang saw that his masters had all fled, and it was useless to continue to command, so he followed suit and abandoned the army and fled.
It is almost impossible for everyone in Langya Kingdom to capture all the Donghai Kingdom troops alive, because there are too many Donghai Kingdom troops. Tens of thousands of people fled in different directions, and some of the defeated troops would still escape back to Donghai Kingdom and rejoin the lords of Donghai Kingdom.
among the army.
Even so, the Langya people still killed seven or eight thousand people and captured tens of thousands!
Donghai Kingdom lost more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the nine towns of Hedong!
The army cleared the battlefield.
At this point, all the main enemy forces in Langya Kingdom have been eliminated!
The Xuzhou Army, Pengcheng Army, Taishan Army outside Xia City, Xiapi Army outside Langya City, and the Donghai Navy in Jiu Town in Hedong were all defeated by the second and third line troops of Langya Kingdom.
"Thank you so much, General Xue and your lord, Mr. Zhao, for sending troops to rescue me."
Xia Liang met Xue Wanche, the cavalry general who arrived from Qingzhou. The other party was the reinforcement sent by Mr. Zhao. Without this cavalry, the East China Sea Army might not have suffered such huge losses.
Xue Wanche said nonchalantly: "The soldiers of the East China Sea Kingdom are extremely weak, and their general is probably not a capable person, so he is worthless. If the little girl hadn't given orders, I would have led the cavalry back to the North Sea Kingdom."
"Please wait a moment. The general has come a long way. Why don't you help us capture the city of Li in the East China Sea, and then return to the Beihai Kingdom. On behalf of the Lord's Palace, I will give you a lot of rewards. We need a cavalry."
"this……"
"I will contact your master and he will agree."
"Can."
What shocked Xue Wanche was not that Xia Liang left him to help out, but that Langya Kingdom actually went to attack the city of Donghai Kingdom after clearing out the enemy forces in the territory?
"They have brought the flames of war to Langya Kingdom. We must retaliate tooth for tooth and eye for eye."
The joint forces of Langya Kingdom and Beihai Kingdom numbered about 40,000 people. Under the command of Xia Liang, they cleared the battlefields of the nine towns in Hedong, and then immediately marched towards Licheng of Donghai Kingdom!
The Allied Forces of the East China Sea State set out from Licheng to attack the Nine Towns of Hedong. Xia Liang went in the opposite direction to remove this bridgehead that threatened Langya State.
A few days later, the allied forces of Langya Kingdom and Beihai Kingdom entered Donghai Kingdom, and their troops came to Licheng City in a mighty manner!
The lords of Licheng were frightened and asked other lords of Donghai Kingdom for help, but very few responded.
There is no other reason. The lords of the East China Sea either suffered heavy losses due to their participation in the East China Sea Alliance, or they were weak and afraid of the Langya Kingdom and did not dare to send troops.
Xia Liang ordered Xue Wanche to lead the cavalry on one side to help prevent the defenders in the city from counterattacking, and ordered Li Xiuning to coordinate the infantry and archers to attack Li City.
The lord of Licheng also suffered heavy losses in the territory of Langya Kingdom. Seeing that there were no defenders inside and no reinforcements outside, after being attacked by force, he led his troops to abandon the city and fled overnight.
The next day, Xia Liang led his army to Licheng, announced the occupation of Licheng, and changed the lord of the Licheng stone tablet to Chutian.
For a time, Donghai Kingdom and even the entire Xuzhou were in a state of excitement. The second and third-line troops of Langya Kingdom not only destroyed all the troops attacking Langya Kingdom, but also launched a massive counterattack and captured an important city of Donghai Kingdom!
Licheng is not a city built by the player lord himself, but a county in Donghai Kingdom. Controlling Licheng is almost equivalent to controlling a county!
When everyone thought that Langya Kingdom had taken advantage and the counterattack was over, Xia Liang continued to send troops to attack Zhuqi County near Licheng!
The lord of Zhuqi County was unwilling to be occupied, so he went out to fight, but was directly destroyed by Li Xiuning!
Xia Liang ordered the execution of the captured lords of Zhuqi County and occupied Zhuqi County.
Just when everyone thought that the revenge of Langya Kingdom should be enough, Xia Liang continued to send troops to break through Ganyu County and kill its lord!
Now the whole of Xuzhou was completely shocked!
Three of the thirteen counties of Donghai Kingdom were conquered and occupied by Langya Kingdom in less than ten days!
These three counties are close to Kaiyang County and Xihai County of Langya Kingdom, so in order to protect Langya Kingdom, Xia Liang ruthlessly occupied and suppressed the three counties of Donghai Kingdom!
For a time, she was dubbed "The Butcher", "The Devil", and "Xiao Chuo of Langya Country" by the lords of Xuzhou, because several player lords died under her hands, and because she killed tens of thousands of coalition forces!
When Langya Kingdom showed strong force and the momentum to invade Donghai Kingdom, all the lords could not hold back.
