Goryeo, the capital of Goryeo controlled by the southern lord Lee Min-chul, was besieged by the northern lord Choi Jae-sun for half a year. Food was exhausted and most of the soldiers were killed.

In order to unify the Kingdom of Korea, Cui Zaishan mobilized 200,000 professional soldiers and 300,000 local warriors to dig trenches with three layers inside and three layers outside to block Lee Min-cheol and the king of Korea in Gaijing.

The defenders of Gaekyung organized many counterattacks, but were defeated by Choi Jae-sun's general Eulji Mundeok, and could only defend passively.

"Li Chenggui, Yin Guan, Jiang Hanzan, I can't wait to unify the Koryo Kingdom and chop off the heads of Li Minzhe and the king. There are powerful enemies in Liaodong waiting for us to deal with, and we must have enough population. Koryo Kingdom's

The population is no less than that of Liaodong."

Cui Zaishan looked up at the dilapidated city wall under the protection of a team of elite archers. The capital of Goryeo was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Cui Zaishan spent the lives of tens of thousands of warriors before filling up the surrounding moats and trenches.

"The governor of Liaodong raised more than 200,000 troops to attack Youzhou in an attempt to become the shepherd of Youzhou!"

When Cui Zaishan was supervising the troops and preparing to capture Kaijing in one fell swoop, his spies in Liaodong immediately received the news that all the legions deployed at the border fortress in Mingguan had been transferred to attack Youzhou.

"Mingguan knew that my attack on Kaijing had reached a critical moment and had no time to attack Liaodong. He is difficult to deal with. If possible, I would not want to be an enemy of him."

"All armies will capture Gaijing within five days! Capture King Lee Min-cheol and execute him. Once the south is unified, a new Koryo Kingdom will rise!"

Cui Zaishan's eyes were fierce. He had fought with Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong, not once or twice. After being defeated by Mingguan many times, he was still unyielding and wanted to occupy Liaodong. His fight with Mingguan depended on which of the two sides had the greater population and military strength.

That's all. Koryo is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Except for Liaodong, there are almost no threats from other directions. This is its advantage over Mingguan. Japan is still fighting among itself.

Outside Xiaopei City, the Yuzhou Army made a comeback, saying that Tang appointed Guo Ziyi as general and a group of generals as deputy generals to attack Xiaopei.

Chutian sent out various armies to form formations based on Xiaopei's city walls, and faced off against Tang Shuo to prevent Xiaopei from being encircled.

The infantry battalion and Shesheng battalion of the fifth school of the Northern Army, and the servant corps were deployed in the central army. On the left was the White Robe Corps, led by General Chen Qingzhi, and on the right was the reconnaissance corps, led by General Hua Mulan. Chutian personally commanded the few Yueqi battalions.

, Changshui Camp, Tunqi Camp, and Huben Army as reserve forces.

The method of using cavalry to carry out roundabout flank attacks may not work every time. After destroying the opponent's vanguard army, the opponent has already taken precautions and spread out scouts. Tang led the army to Xiaopei City cautiously.

"Chu Zimou's two wings are almost as thick as the central army. There are not enough infantry to break through from the central army."

Guo Ziyi boarded the chariot and pointed at Chu Tian's central army.

The nest car is equipped with a watchtower, which can be used to observe the enemy's situation from a high altitude. It can also take advantage of the field of view even on plain terrain.

It is said that Tang and Guo Ziyi were on the watchtower of Chaocha, observing Chutian's formation. Chutian's formation was still the same as usual, simple and unpretentious, with infantry and archers in the middle, cavalry covering the two wings, and a reserve team.

The seemingly simple formation is actually much easier to use than many fancy formations.

"His tactics should be to use powerful cavalry to outflank the enemy on both wings, causing the enemy to rout by breaking both wings."

It is said that Tang probably saw Chu Tian's tactics.

According to his intelligence, Chutian's cavalry was powerful, and the cavalry troops were the first to make a breakthrough in every battle.

After seeing through Chu Tian's tactics, the Tang Dynasty arranged for the famous general Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty to lead 10,000 Shuofang troops and another 40,000 infantry, with archers as the central army. At the same time, he ordered Qin Qiong to deal with the white-robed army and Cheng Yaojin to deal with the reconnaissance army.

"Chu Zimou has a heavy cavalry, so be careful and guard against it."

It is said that the only thing Tang was worried about was a mysterious heavy cavalry unit in the hands of Chu Tian. Before the battle, he warned the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, Guo Ziyi.

Saitang's formation competed with Chutian's. Chutian wanted to break through on both wings, while Saitang made a breakthrough in the middle and deployed Guo Ziyi in the center, destroying Chutian's weak center in one fell swoop.

At the same time, it is said that the Tang Dynasty left Chen Dao's Baijie soldiers and Jiangxia King Li Daozong as a reserve force. The Baijie soldiers were light infantry and could quickly support various troops.

In the reserve team that talks about the Tang Dynasty, there are also Liu Pi, Gong Du and other generals of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan. Although they are only third- and fourth-rate generals, they may be able to play an role at critical moments. There is also the newly recruited fierce general Xu Chuxiang.

It is an iron tower that was sent by Tang Dynasty to assist Qin Qiong.

This time, it is said that the Tang Dynasty had the advantage in military strength, and the generals were not bad either.

Speaking of the two wings of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin had 30,000 cavalry and 10,000 cavalry respectively, the center had 50,000 infantry, crossbowmen, and cavalry, and the reserve force had 40,000 troops.

Opposite Chutian's camp, there are 20,000 white-robed regiments on the left, 10,000 cavalry on the right-wing reconnaissance regiment, only over 10,000 people in the center, and several thousand in reserve.

There is also Mi Fang in Xiaopei City, and there are more than 10,000 second- and third-line troops from Wu'an State.

Although the overall strength of the territory was not as good as that of Chu Zimou, Tang Dynasty had local military advantages, which was why he decided to give it a try. There was no better opportunity than this to acquire the cities of Xiaopei and Pengcheng.

Qin Qiong said: "Yuan Shu may take advantage of our main force to advance eastward and sneak attack the county that has been occupied by us."

"Yuan Shu is just a withered bone in a grave, and there is nothing to fear. No matter whether this battle is won or lost, Yuan Shu will die."

It is said that the Tang Dynasty had murderous intentions, and Yuan Shu still had a group of civil servants and generals under his command. If he could completely annex Yuan Shu's power, his power would greatly increase.

"The military strength of the Tang Dynasty is really disturbing. If the legions that attacked Cao Cao can come back, the Tang Dynasty is nothing to be afraid of. We only have tens of thousands of troops in this battle."

Chu Tian was also observing the opponent's formation and discovered that Tang had deployed a large number of infantry and crossbowmen in the central army, apparently intending to break through head-on.

The two sides in this battle did not have much ingenuity. At most, they played some tricks during the battle. What really determines the outcome is the true strength of both sides.

Fang Xuanling, Lu Su, and Cao GUI served as soldiers beside Chu Tian in order to provide advice or use the reserve team at the most appropriate time.

After Cao GUI took refuge with Chu Tian, ​​Chu Tian could already see Cao GUI's face.

【Name】: Cao GUI

[Talent]: Diamond level commander (infantry/chariot system)

【Level】:55

[Identity]: Famous general of the State of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period

【Loyalty】:81

【Commander】:83 (maximum 85)

[Force]: 58 (maximum 60)

[Intelligence]: 85 (upper limit 87)

[Politics]: 57 (maximum 60)

【Charm】:70

【Character】: Calm

[Favorability]:70

[Feature 1]: All in one go (S-level exclusive feature, when the unit launches an attack for the first time, morale +15%, attack power +5%, the effect disappears when the attack is frustrated. When serving as a deputy general, this feature can still be effective)

[Characteristic 2]: Insight (A-level trait, high probability of seeing through the enemy's disguised retreat)

[Special arms]: None

Although Cao GUI is not at the king level, he is a qualified deputy general or military candidate. His "all-in-one" characteristic can be used simultaneously with the characteristics of the main general, allowing the main general's troops to explode with more powerful combat effectiveness during the first attack.

At the same time, Cao GUI could also see through some of the opponent's strategies, especially those of pretending to retreat and lure the enemy.

So Chu Tian took Cao GUI with him in order to destroy the enemy with one go.

The Chinese army was commanded by Tai Shici, a general of the bow department, and Joan of Arc, a general of the three lines. Joan of Arc was seriously injured and still went into battle with her injuries.

The two most important infantry commanders, Le Yi and Zhou Yafu, were on the battlefields of Yanzhou and Qingzhou respectively. Chutian lacked infantry commanders, and Joan of Arc was a general of the third line. She was squeezed by Chutian again and commanded the servant army to defend the central army. She gave the servants

The morale bonus brought by the legion is extremely high, which is the key to this battle.

"They gathered the main force of infantry in the center...and I have two heavy cavalry in my hands."

Chu Tian squinted his eyes and said that Tang probably judged that he had one heavy cavalry, but in fact Chu Tian had three heavy cavalry!

In addition to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry fighting against the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in Yanzhou, he also had the Tiger Guard Army and the Cavalry Camp!

Lu Su followed Chu Tian and was considered by Chu Tian to join the army and train him. Lu Su followed Chu Tian in many battles, especially after experiencing the Battle of Mobei, and his relationship with Chu Tian became even closer. At the same time, after experiencing the baptism of war, Lu Su also

More calm.

He, Fang Xuanling, Cao GUI and others had already made arrangements in advance before the battle, and it all depended on the performance of the generals.

The armies of both sides were displayed on the plain outside Xiaopei City, and they could use their cavalry without restraint.

Mi Fang and Wu Anguo, two brothers with different surnames, were left by Chu Tian to guard the city in Xiaopei. They could only watch the battle from a distance. This level of competition was not something Mi Fang and Wu Anguo could intervene in.

On the Chutian side there are Wei Qing, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Hua Mulan, Taishi Ci, Gongsun Ao, and Joan of Arc. In the Tang camp there are generals such as Guo Ziyi, Li Daozong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Chen Dao, Liu Pi, and Gong Du.

With the superiority of troops, the two sides were fighting fiercely, with fierce generals like clouds. Mi Fang and Wu Anguo went into battle just to kill people. So Chu Tian simply let them defend the city.

"If the lord is defeated, I mean just in case, open the city gate immediately and welcome the lord into the city."

In the Battle of Xiaopei, the 50,000 Yuzhou Legion vanguard suffered 30,000 casualties, and the opponent still had 130,000 casualties. Mi Fang couldn't help but feel a cold sweat for Chu Tian.

Unlike Guan Yu who blamed Mi Fang, Chu Tian was very tolerant of Mi Fang and was unambiguous about his appointment. Mi Fang was grateful, her own interests were tied to Chu Tian, ​​and she was unwilling to see Chu Tian defeated.

Wu Anguo pounded the hammer. He also wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy, but in the end he had no chance.

Officials from Xiaopei came to the city wall one after another to witness the showdown between Xuzhou Mu and Yuzhou Mu.

"There are too many soldiers and horses on the opposite side, and my lord is in trouble this time."

"The Yuzhou Mu is coming fiercely. They must be well prepared to attack our Xiaopei. Xiaopei belongs to Pei State, and Pei State belongs to Yuzhou. The Yuzhou Mu came to attack Pei State, presumably to unify Yuzhou."

"Fart, he wants the whole of Xuzhou, how can we let him succeed!"

As a native of Donghai, Xuzhou, Mi Fang believed that Chu Tian was from Langya, Xuzhou, and they were both members of the Xuzhou family, so they naturally treated each other with sincerity.

"I can afford to lose, but I can't lose."

Before the war started, Chu Tian felt agitated in his heart. He was no longer the governor of only one county. Even if he lost this battle, it would not be a devastating blow to Chu Tian. Xia Liang would recruit troops as soon as possible.

, to make up for Chutian’s losses, Chutian can still make a comeback.
To be continued...
