Chapter 334 The Battle of Mobei (8)(1/2)
In Tuyin County, Beiping County, Youzhou, Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu gathered a large number of soldiers and horses here, and agreed with Prince Yan and Liu Bei to join forces and raise 200,000 troops to attack Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong.
Mingguan, the governor of Liaodong, took away three important cavalry generals. This was an opportunity to recapture the western Liaoning Corridor.
Two hundred thousand Youzhou soldiers arrived in this city one after another.
"Liu Yu doesn't seem to have recruited any decent generals. Although he has many soldiers and horses, his commanding ability is not to be praised. If you give me this Youzhou cavalry, you can achieve greater results."
When Prince Yan saw the arrival of Liu Yu's Youzhou army, he still felt uneasy.
Liu Yu's general was Xian Yufu, a platinum-level general who was not as good as Di Qing, Fan Zhongyan, or Gongsun Zan.
Liu Yu brought an army of 100,000, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei brought an army of 40,000, and Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan still had 60,000 troops. A total of 200,000 troops attacked western Liaoning.
Such a large-scale battle rarely occurs north of the Yellow River. Coupled with the Liaoxi garrison, the scale of the battle between the two sides may exceed 300,000!
"This is the last chance. If we can't recapture the Liaoxi Corridor, it will be a matter of time before Youbeiping County falls."
Prince Yan clenched his fist.
The pressure brought by Mingguan, the governor of Liaodong, was too great. If Chang Yuchun, Li Chengliang and other generals were allowed to come back, Prince Yan would definitely be defeated.
Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Zhongshan Prime Minister Liu Bei also realized the threat from outside the customs, so they joined forces this time.
Liu Bei and the mighty Zhang Fei arrived. There were only four counties in Beiping County. Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan could not block Mingguan with their four counties. If he could conquer Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan and obtain their civil servants and generals, he might be able to defeat Yuan Shao.
"Youzhou Mu has arrived!"
Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, sat in chief. Liu Bei, Prince Yan, and Gongsun Zan all respected Liu Yu as the leader of the alliance and urged the 200,000-strong army to seize the Western Liaoning Corridor.
Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu had conflicts, and they were at war for a while. Now they faced a common enemy and had to join forces.
"The troops of Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong, are concentrated in Guzhu City in western Liaoning, not far from Tuyin County, with about 100,000 troops. They can concentrate their forces to siege the city, capture Guzhu City, and annihilate its main force."
Prince Yan provided information about Guzhu City to Liu Yu and Liu Bei.
Liu Bei took the initiative to ask for a fight: "My third brother and I will be the vanguard."
Liu Yu didn't know Liu Bei's specific abilities, so he asked: "Xuande, Mingguan's generals are so powerful that they are powerful outside the pass. Can you win?"
Liu Bei replied: "It's just a try."
Prince Yan reminded: "The military generals Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting who are staying in Guzhu City at Mingguan are either first-rate or second-rate generals. They must be careful."
"Who are they?"
Liu Bei didn't know Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting well. Hearing that Prince Yan thought they were good generals, he was secretly on guard.
Zhang Fei said: "No matter what general he is, if my eldest brother takes action, he will flee!"
"Third brother, don't underestimate the enemy. We need to be careful in this battle."
"Since Xuande is willing to be the vanguard, then I will be responsible for supporting it."
Gongsun Zan was somewhat jealous that his former classmate Liu Bei had the current territory, but he could only choose to join forces with Liu Bei to defeat the great prince Mingguan who dominated the pass.
"Then it's decided. Master Zhou Mu and I will supervise the central and rear armies, protect the grain roads, and support you at any time."
Prince Yan was satisfied with the division of labor between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan, so he continued the arrangement.
"In this battle, we will retake the Liaoxi Corridor, and if possible, capture Liaodong!"
For their own purposes, the four princes formed a temporary alliance and commanded an army of 200,000 to attack Guzhu City in western Liaoning!
Guzhu City in western Liaoning was originally a city run by Prince Yan, but at this time it was captured by Mingguan. The defenders were Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng. They each had an elite special force - the Qin Army in the late Ming Dynasty (Sun Chuanting), the Tianxiong Army (
Lu Xiangsheng).
The prime minister in black, Yao Guangxiao, was left at home by Mingguan to guard the city and plan for Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng.
Yao Guangxiao was a top strategist who helped Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, conquer the world. In the Battle of Hulao Pass, Cui Zaishan, the lord of the Koryo Kingdom, invaded Liaodong. It was Yao Guangxiao who tried to delay the advance of the Koryo army and buy time for Mingguan to return to the army.
This time, Ming Guan still kept Yao Guangxiao at home, thinking that he could sit back and relax.
Lu Xiangsheng asked Yao Guangxiao for his opinion: "Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, Liu Bei, the prime minister of Zhongshan, Gongsun Zan, the governor of Beiping on the right, and Prince Yan, the governor of western Liaoning, have formed an alliance and commanded an army of 200,000 to march eastward. How should we respond to the enemy?"
"I invited someone."
Yao Guangxiao heard that the Allied Forces of Youzhou and Jizhou were marching eastward with 200,000 troops, but he remained calm and unafraid.
"who?"
"Mingguan entrusted me to help defend the city. If we are in trouble at this time, how can we not help?"
The president of Yanqi of the Yiren Guild appeared, accompanied by a burly general. He glanced at Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng: "This man is a wandering general I met in Liaodong. I will give him the command of the cavalry in this battle, and he can defeat the enemy."
Two hundred thousand troops."
Lu Xiangsheng said: "The 200,000-strong army is approaching fiercely, so don't be overconfident."
The general of the Yan Cavalry Guild said: "Whether it can be done, let me try and find out!"
Sun Chuanting looked sideways: "Your courage is commendable."
Yao Guangxiao ordered his soldiers to spread out the map: "General Lu defends the city, and General Sun leads the infantry and cavalry out of the city. In addition, this general leads a cavalry to ambush outside, attack the enemy's center, and kill its commander. An army of 200,000 people is under our control.
It seems that everything is gone in a blink of an eye."
In Xia Cheng, Xue Yue, who has been collecting information about strangers under Chu Tian, came to visit Xia Liang. She knew that if she wanted to be promoted, she needed to have a good relationship with Xia Liang. At the same time, the two had some friendship because of their cooperation.
At present, Zhang Hong has taken over as Langya Prime Minister, and Xia Liang's internal affairs duties have been eliminated. However, she still has the official position of general and has the power to dispatch troops in emergencies. The main reason is that Chu Tian wants to reduce her pressure.
"It should be a healthy baby."
Xue Yue felt a little sad when she saw the pregnant Xia Liang. When she met Chu Tian and Xia Liang, she thought that sooner or later the two would clash with each other, but she still felt a little weird when she saw that Xia Liang was already a woman.
"You came to Xia City specifically. You should have some important information, right?"
"Yes. The Mingguan forces in Liaodong have close contacts with the Yanqi Guild. The Yanqi Guild is a free player guild in Liaodong. It is filled with a group of high-force free players. They can survive by following Mingguan in the battle.
The average level of free players is very high, which is equivalent to high-level arms, or even stronger than high-level arms. In the Yanqi Guild, there are also several historical generals. These generals are either wandering generals or generals captured by the Yanqi Guild.
."
"In other words, the relationship between Yanqi Guild and Mingguan is equivalent to the relationship between mercenaries and lords?"
"It can be understood this way. In order to let the Yanqi Guild work for itself, Mingguan specially designated a county for the Yanqi Guild as a fief. The Yanqi Guild can use the tax revenue of a county to maintain a mercenary army to serve Mingguan specifically.
.According to the intelligence I collected, in a battle between the Yan Cavalry Guild and the Xianbei tribe, a cavalry general from the Yan Cavalry Guild showed strong combat capabilities, defeating thousands of Xianbei cavalry with 500 cavalry. Although the Yan Cavalry Guild deliberately concealed
This intelligence, but someone was paying attention to that battle at the time."
"If the intelligence is true, we must inform Prince Yan and ask him to be careful. If he is defeated, we will lose a horse market."
Xia Liang thought twice and sent someone to inform Prince Yan of this information.
…
"kill!"
The Han cavalry and the Huns cavalry fought. The two sides fought in the desert for a long time!
Wei Qing's cavalry defeated the Xiongnu Youxian King and saved the chariot formation, but at the same time, the Xiongnu Yi Zhixie Chanyu drove 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry and severely damaged Wei Qing's cavalry!
Three thousand Xiongnu eagle shooters pierced the Yangtze River with a hundred steps and shot down the Han cavalry on the opposite side!
As a fifth-level soldier, the Xiongnu eagle shooters possess superb riding and archery skills. The Han cavalry was covered with arrows. From time to time, some Han cavalry were hit by arrows and fell off their horses into the chaotic battlefield. Wherever the eagle shooters went, there were countless
Hundreds of Han cavalry were killed.
"Get rid of that Hun cavalry!"
Wei Qing commanded Guan Yu to lead the Youzhou cavalry to attack the Xiongnu eagle shooters.
Guan Yu took the Youzhou cavalry that Liu Bei gave him and entered the battle with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. The broadsword killed the Huns in front of him, including both their men and their horses!
Guan Yu was an enemy of ten thousand people. The heavy cavalry behind him rose and fell with the galloping horses. They held spears and killed the Xiongnu eagle shooters!
The Hun eagle shooters quickly fired arrows at Youzhou Tuqi, but the arrows hit the iron armor and did not cause much damage. The arrows also bounced off the iron pieces, making a metallic collision sound.
Guan Yu was so powerful that he could kill almost one person with each sword. Even ordinary Xiongnu generals were not his opponent in one round. He commanded the few heavy cavalry in the Han army this time, causing huge damage to the Huns who were all light cavalry.
Destruction and panic!
Guan Yu has full confidence in himself and Youzhou Tuqi!
He went straight to the Xiongnu Condor Shooters. He could get 10 points by killing one Xiongnu Condor Shooters. If he could kill three thousand Xiongnu Condor Shooters, he could get 30,000 points and help Liu Bei reach the top spot! In this way, he would
No need to mention your head to meet your eldest brother Liu Bei!
The Xiongnu eagle shooters were afraid of Guan Yu and his small number of heavy cavalry, so they avoided his sharp edge and used the mighty Hun light cavalry to consume Guan Yu's physical strength and slow down the charging speed of the heavy cavalry. Once the charging speed of the heavy cavalry dropped, they would be worse than
The light cavalry was not much stronger.
Wang Tiejian led 5,000 Liangzhou cavalry into the enemy's formation and charged directly at Yizhixie Shanyu, hoping to kill the general and seize the flag among the 100,000-strong army!
Hundred-jin iron spears swept through the enemies in sight. The Huns cavalrymen hit by the iron spears all suffered broken bones and fell off their horses, wailing all over the field!
The iron spear became a completely blunt weapon in Wang Yanzhang's hands. He didn't need to pay attention to any marksmanship, and he could severely injure the enemy by relying on his own weight. It was simply cruel.
Tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry stood in front of Yizhixie Shanyu, trying to stop Wang Yanzhang and the Liangzhou cavalry from advancing.
The further forward Wang Yanzhang advanced, the more difficult it became. When he reached the back, he felt like he was stuck in a swamp, with traces of the Huns cavalry in all directions.
Wang Yanzhang fought bloody battles and killed at least hundreds of Huns cavalry. The blood dyed him red and turned him into a bloody man. He could hardly hold the iron gun steadily. It was not that his physical strength was exhausted, but the thick blood made the gun barrel slippery.
