"Xu Rong, Xia Houyuan ambushed and lost more than a thousand cavalry!"

After Le Yi's army captured Licheng, they rested in Licheng. Yu Jin's generals were defeated by Sun Bin and joined up with Le Yi. The Shensu army, which went to cut off the food routes of Tian Ji's army, was ambushed by Sun Bin and returned in frustration.

Le Yi and Le attacked Bali City and won a complete victory. Yu Jin and others wanted to make military exploits, but were taught a lesson by Sun Bin. They suffered thousands of casualties and were disgraced.

The generals thought that attacking the Jinan Kingdom was a good opportunity to make military exploits and make a name for themselves. They should have destroyed the country. However, they did not expect that the battle to pacify the Jinan Kingdom would suddenly increase the difficulty.

"Wait for the lord to arrive before attacking Dongpingling."

Le Yi was the commander in chief of the attack on Jinan. Considering that Sun Bin was in an active position and the morale of the soldiers had declined, Le Yi decided to wait for Chu Tian to attack in person. The Lord personally took charge, which would help improve morale.

Chu Tian led the Guards Corps to Licheng. On the way, he received a report from the cavalry and Yu Jin's generals covered Le Yi's capture of the city, but were defeated by Sun Bin.

"He is indeed Guiguzi's favorite disciple. Yu Jin, Xu Rong, Yang Ye and others all suffered under his hands."

Chu Tian suspected that Sun Bin's intelligence had reached 98 or 99. This was a game after all, and Sun Bin could exert his stronger abilities. At the same time, Sun Bin had a treasure "Sun Bin's Art of War" that could provide certain bonuses to the legion.

Compared with the large-scale army battles in Youzhou that often resulted in hundreds of thousands of casualties, the scale of the battle in Jinan Kingdom was much smaller. However, many people still stared at the Jinan Kingdom battlefield. News of Xuzhou Mu’s army’s setback in Jinan Kingdom spread like wildfire.

When he left, the strangers and civilians in Xuzhou were in an uproar.

Xuzhou Mu rarely suffered a loss and wiped out Cao Cao in one fell swoop. Tian Qi, as an inconspicuous Qingzhou prince, did not expect that Xuzhou Mu would suffer a loss.

Chu Tian disagreed with this. As the generals were surrendered, their legions were not yet full and lacked elites. In addition, Sun Bin was already the most intelligent opponent Chu Tian had faced so far. They hit a wall in front of Sun Bin.

normal.

"The lord is here!"

The generals entrenched in Licheng knew that Chu Tian was going to march personally, and they all came to welcome him.

Joan of Arc, Hua Mulan, Dian Wei, Taishi Ci, Mi Fang and other generals rode on war horses, and behind them were the tiger and wolf divisions of the Guards Corps.

Unlike other legions that only have a few elites, the Guards legion has the most high-level troops and the strongest combat effectiveness!

"I will eventually lose two battles in a row. Please punish me, my lord!"

Yu Jin knelt down and was defeated by Sun Bin twice in a row. He was ashamed.

Chutian valued him so much that he appointed him as the commander of the Qingzhou Army, but his performance in front of Sun Bin did not seem to match his status as the commander of the army.

Chu Tian glanced at Yu Jin's panel.

【Name】: Yu Jin

[Rank]: King-level commander

[Commander]:90 [Force]:77 [Intelligence]:72 [Politics]:57 [Charm]:56

【Character】: Calm

[Characteristic 1]: Yi Zhong (S-level trait, keeping troops in order, formation maintenance +20%, unit attack and defense +7%, but soldier satisfaction decreased)

[Characteristic 2]: Military Frontier (A-level trait, when serving as a vanguard, unit attack power +10%)

[Characteristic 3]: Rejection (A-level characteristic, when serving as rear army, unit defense +10%)

[Special arms]: Qingzhou soldiers (fourth level light infantry, upper limit of 40,000)

Yu Jin's profile was pretty good, and he still had Qingzhou soldiers who were suitable for forming a legion. Chutian then asked Yu Jin to serve as the commander of the legion. The five good generals each have their own abilities. If it hadn't been for Guan Yu and Flood, Yu Jin would not have been ruined and his reputation would not have been ruined.

Considering that the probability of encountering a famous general and a flood at the same time was extremely low, and that Yu Jin's Qingzhou Army was serving as a vanguard or rear-resistance force rather than the main force, Chu Tian was not too worried about Yu Jin's problems.

In this battle of Jinan, not only one general suffered a setback, but also the Iron Wall Army, the Invincible Army, and the Speedy Army were repelled. All the generals were listless.

Speaking of which, Yu Jin is also an unlucky guy. He has not had any military exploits so far. He originally only had a Qingzhou Legion with a strength of over 10,000 people, but after two battles, only 6,000 were left with fighting strength.

"Sun Bin is good at military planning, and it is not a crime of war. General Le Yi, have you already fought against Sun Bin?"

Chu Tian believes that if Le Yi plays, Sun Bin will not take advantage.

Le Yi shook his head: "We haven't fought yet."

"Then we can fight. Yu Jin, you continue to be the vanguard."

"Last general?"

Yu Jin thought that Chu Tian would revoke his position as army commander, but he didn't expect that Chu Tian would still make him a vanguard.

If he loses again, he will lose three out of three times.

"Fang Xuanling will serve as your military advisor."

Chu Tian pushed Fang Xuanling to Yu Jin. With Fang Xuanling around, the possibility of Yu Jin falling into the trap would be greatly reduced.

Fang Xuanling was tricked by Chu Tian and was forced to serve as the military advisor of the Qingzhou Army.

Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling have a tacit understanding of cooperation, and Chu Tian wants to use this opportunity to build a relationship with Xun You. Xun You is more low-key than Fang Xuanling and is also a person who is easier to get along with.

"Tian Qi's troops in Jinan are about 60,000, and the defenders of Dongpingling are about 20,000. As long as we annihilate the legions of Sun Bin and others, Tian Qi will have no reinforcements."

Chutian had a military advantage against Sun Bin and had more high-level troops.

"The Iron Eagle scouts are scattered, tracking Tian Ji, the main force of Tian Dan's army. Tomorrow they will officially break camp and march towards Dongpingling."

With the presence of the reconnaissance corps, if Sun Bin wanted to ambush in the wild, his success rate would be greatly reduced.

"At the same time, order Zhou Yafu's defensive army to besiege Linzi and contain Mr. Zhao."

Chu Tian ordered Zhou Yafu to send troops from Beihai Kingdom.

If the establishment of each legion is now full, it will be easier to attack the Jinan Congress.

"Is Sun Bin very powerful?"

Joan of Arc didn't know Sun Bin.

Chu Tian said calmly: "A top strategist, if you lead your troops to fight with him alone, you will most likely become a prisoner."

Joan of Arc snorted: "I'm not captured that easily..."

The next day, Chu Tian urged the Sixth Army to attack Dongpingling in a large scale!

With the arrival of Chutian, the morale of the six legions was greatly boosted.

Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Fang Xuanling led 6,000 infantry as the vanguard, and black war eagles soared in the sky. The cavalry regiments echoed each other, and the Leyi Corps and the Guards Corps served as the main force, which was majestic!

The Sixth Army includes about 40,000 Leyi Corps, about 30,000 Guards Corps, and Yu Jin, Cao Ren, Yang Ye, and Xu Rong together about 50,000, which is equivalent to a main force of 120,000 against Tian Ji, Sun Bin, and Tian Dan.

of 60,000 people.

Facing the divine calculator Sun Bin, Chu Tian's tactics were very simple, defeating ten enemies with one force.

The two sides were competing not only for their wits, but also for their national strength. It was hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and Sun Bin could only use half of his troops to defeat Chu Tian's 120,000 main force.

In the past, Chutian was restrained and his local forces were often at a disadvantage. This time, he only used half of his main force, which was already twice that of Sun Bin and others.

Rarely having a military advantage, Chutian was more cautious and had to use sufficient troops to fight steadily.

Although Dongping Ling, Tian Ji, and Tian Dan won the battle with Yu Jin and others, they failed to achieve the strategic purpose of rescuing Licheng and were forced to retreat. Le Yi's offensive was extremely fierce, and without qualified defenders, small and medium-sized cities could not

It will fall in three days.

"Military advisor, Xuzhou Mu has arrived, what should we do?"

Hearing that Xuzhou Mu personally supervised the army, Tian Ji, as the commander-in-chief, was very worried. He had fought with the Xuzhou Army in the Battle of Beihai Kingdom. At that time, Tian Ji's army suffered heavy losses. When he heard that Xuzhou Mu personally led the army, he was already a little afraid. He couldn't wait to ask Sun Bin for help.

Tian Dan left Linzi and came to Jinan to join Tian Ji and Sun Bin. Although he was also a famous general, he was unable to capture the terrifying Xuzhou Army: "Dongpingling has been operating for many years and has experienced the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion. There are still many in the warehouse.

Defensive equipment. I will defend the fortified city. Even if the opponent's army of 100,000 attacks, it can be defended for at least three months. You can attack Licheng, surround Wei and rescue Zhao, or attack its grain roads to force them to retreat."

Tian Ji believed that Tian Dan's tactics were feasible: "This is the only plan for today."

Sun Bin did not support it: "No. A living city can be defended, but a dead city cannot be defended. General Tian Ji and I are less than 20% sure of repelling the Xuzhou Army. If we are defeated, the lord will have no reinforcements, and everything south of the Yellow River will be lost. Tian

What's the point of having a single general guarding an isolated city? It's better to prepare ships at the crossing of the Yellow River and lead the soldiers northward if the battle goes unfavorably, so that part of our strength can still be preserved."

"Less than 20% sure?"

"Maybe less."

Tian Ji and Tian Dan looked at each other. It was obvious that even Sun Bin lacked confidence in himself when his troops were only half the opponent's and the number of high-level troops was far less than the opponent's.

Unless he can win the decisive battle cleverly, Sun Bin alone cannot change the balance of strength, let alone Chu Tian who also has a group of counselors and a large number of generals under his command.

Sun Bin had already left a backup force behind, and after calculating his defeat, he fled to the north of the Yellow River.

The next step is just to take the plunge.

Beihai State, Linzi, Prince Zhao only has one county left in the state of Qi. The State of Qi in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the State of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are two different concepts. In fact, the territory of Prince Zhao may only have a population of two to three million.

With this small population, it is probably unrealistic to fight Xuzhou Mu, which has a population of several thousand.

Currently, there are only two generals left under Mr. Zhao, Dorgon and Xue Wanche.

Taishi Ci was captured by Chu Tian and became the general of Chu Tian's Huben army. Wu Sangui and Guan Hai were killed.

Dorgon, who served as Zhao Gongzi's general, realized that the crisis was coming. He could not fall into the hands of Xuzhou Mu, because Xuzhou Mu's general Zhao Yun had a grudge against him. If he was captured by Xuzhou Mu, he would escape death.

Therefore, Dorgon is looking for a way out for himself.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dorgon did not know anyone except Mr. Zhao. When the government suppressed the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, Dorgon commanded the Yellow Turban Army in Beihai Kingdom and sent Obai to Jinan Kingdom to attack Cao Cao. After Obai's defeat,

He fled to the north of the Yellow River and took refuge in Mingguan, but Dorgon was besieged by Chu Tian and Prince Zhao in Jimo. Dorgon and Wu Sangui were forced to surrender to Prince Zhao.
