Chapter 285 The first battle of Joan of Arc(2/2)

Low-level infantry and archers are powerless against expensive knights.

Such an active army on the battlefield in Taishan County attracted the attention of many people, and soon news came out that Joan of Arc was active on the battlefield in Taishan County and serving for Xuzhou Mu Chuzi.

"How could our saint serve the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

"Has she really surrendered to the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty? She is our hero in France! Has she forgotten her identity, or is she being plotted by Chu Ziz..."

France was in an uproar when they learned that their saint was really working for Chu Tian.

They once sent envoys to Chutian to demand the redemption of Joan of Arc. Chutian claimed that Joan of Arc had become a free citizen of the Eastern Han Dynasty. They did not believe it at first, but the news that Joan of Arc was fighting for Chutian in Taishan County reached

France, the French believed 60% to 70%.

In their eyes, Joan of Arc has committed treason and the saint has fallen.

"Speed ​​up the march!"

Yu Jin, who arrived in Jibei Kingdom, hurriedly assembled 30,000 Qingzhou troops. He was caught off guard by Chu Zimou's blitzkrieg. Chu Zimou's cavalry galloped in Taishan County, as if they were in no one's land. At this time, Yu Jin had just assembled to rescue Taishan.

The county’s military strength.

"I hope it's not too late..."

Although he was a little desperate, Yu Jin marched towards Taishan County according to the original plan. If Taishan County could be defended, Taishan County would be merged into Cao Cao's sphere of influence, directly threatening Langya Kingdom.

"Master Taishou, about 40,000 cavalry are marching straight in. The fastest cavalry is already less than a hundred miles away from Fenggao County!"

When the governor of Taishan County learned that the Xuzhou cavalry was marching straight in, his hands trembled.

Chutian attached great importance to cavalry tactics, which completely gave the Taishan County governor no time to organize an effective defense.

Forty thousand cavalry were overwhelming, and everyone in Taishan County was in danger. No one dared to send troops to support Fenggao County, the seat of Taishan County. Once they appeared in the wild and were encountered by Xuzhou's three cavalry regiments, their entire army would be annihilated. No one could

Spared.

"Cao GUI, I wonder if you can stop Xuzhou Mu's army for me?"

The prefect of Taishan County asked for help from a historical military general. He only had this historical military general. Cao GUI, the general of Lu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, defeated Qi State in the Battle of Changshao, leaving behind the allusion "Cao GUI's Debate".

"I'm afraid the general won't be able to turn the tide. It's better to hold on to the city."

Cao GUI faced the situation where Taishan County was fully attacked by the Xuzhou army. The Xuzhou cavalry was invincible in Taishan County, and he was also helpless.

Cao GUI had certain military talents, but he was powerless in the face of absolute strength.

"It seems that defending the city is the only chance."

The governor of Taishan County thought that Chutian could have 40,000 cavalry south of the Yellow River, and he could not think of fighting with him in the wild.

"Why haven't the reinforcements promised by Cao Cao arrived yet?"

The governor of Taishan County placed his hope on Cao Cao's reinforcements.

Qiao Rui, the vanguard general of Pei State and Yuan Shu, has arrived here. Together with the lords of Pei State who are attached to Yuan Shu, they have gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses, and are still recruiting soldiers to prepare to attack Xiaopei.

Qiao Rui held a banquet with the lord of Pei State and said powerfully: "Master Mu of Yuzhou is about to lead an army of 100,000 to Pei State to attack Xuzhou. We have 30,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard, and we will recruit another 20,000 new soldiers, so we can have an army of 150,000.

Known as 500,000, he will destroy Chu Zimou’s power with the power of Mount Tai.”

"An army of 150,000..."

The lords of Pei State present were horrified when they learned that Yuan Shu had assembled an army of 150,000 to attack Xiaopei and Xiapi.

Most people did not notice that Yuan Shu's power was rapidly expanding and he could already muster an army of 150,000 to attack Xiaopei.

If 150,000 troops attack Xiaopei and cut off the connection between Chu Zimou and Gongziwen, then Chu Zimou may be defeated in the struggle for hegemony in the area south of the Yellow River.

Qiao Rui toasted to the lords and powerful men: "You will assist Lord Mu of Yuzhou in capturing Xiaopei and Xiapi. After the success is achieved, you will be rewarded according to your merits."

"Master Xiaowei, this is the information collected by the spies of Pei State. Yuan Shu's general Qiao Rui has recruited 30,000 troops in Pei State, and is also recruiting a large number of new soldiers to prepare to attack our Xiaopei!"

Not long after he took refuge in Chutian, Yang Ye, who was stationed in Xiaopei, received information from Pei's spies and finally decided: "We can take the initiative to defeat Yuan Shu's vanguard first and drive them back to Xuchang. Otherwise, Yuan Shu's army will arrive and join the vanguard.

, the momentum is even greater.”
