Chapter four hundred and fortieth achievement, the sword of love(1/2)
The army of Nanyang County, Wancheng and Jingzhou lasted for dozens of miles. Yang Yanzhao was the vanguard and was welcomed into the city by the Yuzhou army of the Tang Dynasty.
A civil official said to Yang Yanzhao: "In the lower Wei Zheng, I will wait for reinforcements in this city at the order of the lord."
Yang Yanzhao dismounted: "Time is in a hurry, and there is only time to mobilize an army of 150,000."
"Fifteen thousand is already a lot."
Wei Zheng thought that all the princes were busy dealing with their enemies, and they all shirked their responsibilities. Only Jingzhou actually sent a large army, so he couldn't help but sigh.
True love is revealed in times of adversity.
Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Pan Mei and other legions also arrived one after another.
"Are there any other reinforcements besides us?"
Yang Shilang was a little surprised to see that the Tang general Wei Zheng was sent to Wancheng.
Wei Zheng replied: "Guanzhong sent General Zhou Bo to lead 30,000 troops out of Wuguan, and he will soon resist Nanyang."
"Zhou Bo? If he doesn't send Lu Bu and Wang Jian over, how could he be Chu Zimou's opponent?"
Yang Shilang frowned. He thought that the old Qin would dispatch Lu Bu and Wang Jian-level generals as reinforcements. Although Zhou Bo was good, he could not be Chu Tian's opponent.
Wei Zheng was quite helpless about this: "This is exactly what I am worried about. Please ask the prefect of Nanjun to go to rescue quickly."
Yang Shilang hesitated. Isn’t this asking him to conspire with Chu Zi to consume?
"When Zhou Bo arrives, we will march together. Before that, all the population of Nanyang County will be moved to Wancheng or Xinye."
Yang Shiro believed that Zhou Bo must be brought to the country and crazily snatched the population of Nanyang County.
The soil in the Nanyang Basin is fertile and can feed a lot of people. This is also one of the purposes of Yang Shilang's Northern Expedition.
If one can plunder one million people to Xiangyang, then this Northern Expedition will not be a loss.
Wei Zheng noticed Yang Shilang's intentions, and although he was unhappy, he did not expose Yang Shilang's actions. He also had to rely on Yang Shilang's reinforcements to rescue the siege.
As for whether Yang Shiro is reliable, that's another matter...
Yang Shilang delayed in Wancheng for a while, and Zhou Bo led 30,000 Guanzhong troops out of Wuguan Pass, went to Wancheng and returned to the Jingzhou troops, and competed with the Central Plains!
Among Zhou Bo's army, there was also a heavy infantry equipped with war horses, wearing a sharp and sharp sword, like a sharp sword unsheathed.
Yang Shilang's pupils shrank: "Gao Shun?"
"kill!!"
The vast white-robed army is in Chenliu County, Yingchuan County, and the Yuzhou Army has no danger to defend!
The counties of Weishi, Fugou and Yanling were all captured by the White Rou Army, and their momentum was unstoppable!
Chu Tian’s troops focused on cavalry, and among the princes of the Central Plains, where there were few war horses, it was a strange thing...
The main reason is that Chu Tian has a strong foundation, and he can buy horses with gold mines, and he also obtains war horses through national warfare and other channels, which leads to the cavalry becoming the main force.
Guo Ziyi knew that his number of horses was far less than that of Chu Tian, so he did not choose to fight Chu Tian on the plain terrain and did not dare to fight.
Guo Ziyi was camping outside Xu County and had already seen the white-robed army's troops.
More than 20,000 war horses were scattered on the plain, all of which were white horses and white robes galloping, sand and dust rolling, and no end.
Guo Ziyi and the defenders on the city wall couldn't help but sweat when they saw the white horse cavalry like clouds.
If there are only a large number of war horses, it would be fine. The key is that all 20,000 war horses are white horses!
He took out so many white horses in one breath, which was even more exaggerated than the white horse general Gongsun Zan.
"What a terrible cavalry..."
Even if Guo Ziyi has the ability to command troops, he still seems powerless in the face of absolute strength.
"Well!"
Zhao Yun held the war horse and raised his horse's hooves under his seat.
The White Robe Legion went south all the way, with no rivals at all.
Xue Rengui and Chen Qingzhi arrived from behind and stood side by side. Behind them, the mighty white horses slowed down collectively and gradually stopped, and the scene was spectacular.
There are Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun's commander, with only more than 20,000 cavalry, which is no problem. Now Chen Qingzhi's commander value has reached 95, and even if he commands more than 20,000 cavalry alone, it is more than enough.
"Waiting for the arrival of the offensive legion."
Chen Qingzhi thought about it for a while and did not forcibly attack the city, but waited for the arrival of the "offensive army" who was best at siege. The offensive army had two types of siege generals, Le Yi and Le Jin, which was called "Siege Two Les" in Chutian's army.
"Lord, I've heard from Jizhou."
Joan of Arc came over, and Mulan's war eagle was still hanging on her shoulders.
When marching in the field, the communication system between players cannot be used, and intelligence can only be transmitted through cavalry.
"Yuan Shao sent someone to assassinate Zhao Long?"
Chu Tian read the news from the spy in Yecheng.
The information that Zhan Ying conveyed only has a small note of information, and it is difficult for Chu Tian to judge the specific process. It is probably because Yuan Shao failed to assassinate Zhao Long and Zhao Long raised an army to siege Yecheng.
"Yuan Shao is going to be replaced by Zhao Long. Zhao Long is really patient. He took advantage of my attack on Yuzhou and then took action."
After Chu Tian read the note, he could only say that Zhao Long was also a smart person, waiting for Chu Tian to fight Yuzhou.
If Chu Tian doesn't go to Yuzhou, he won't take action.
According to Chu Tian's strategy, it can threaten Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Huainan at the same time, Tang must be the first target of attack. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and Zhao Long can also see it.
This is an open conspiracy. Chu Tian cannot give up the opportunity to unify the Central Plains in order to confront Zhao Long.
Lao Qin was fighting Liangzhou, Tongque was fighting Jiangdong, Zhao Long and Yuan Shao were fighting, and not many people were willing to support Tang.
It can be said that Chu Tian wants his chance, and Zhao Long wants his chance.
How far is Zhao Long's Handan from Yecheng?
Infantry march will arrive in less than a few days.
So even if Chu Tian intervenes, it will be too late.
However, Chu Tian would not make Zhao Long feel good. Before he attacked Yuzhou, he had a little idea: "Order Zhou Yafu's defensive army to turn into the offensive, with Li Guang as his deputy general and Du Ruhui as his military advisor to cross the Yellow River and attack Li Yang on the north bank. Then he hoarded food, troops and strengthened the city defense in Li Yang."
"yes."
Joan of Arc soon wrote a note, and the War Eagle sent the note to East County. Joan of Arc lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty for two years and learned basic Chinese.
Although Zhou Yafu and others' legion name was "defense", in fact, Li Guang was also very stable in the offense, and Du Ruhui was also appointed as the military advisor.
Except for being crushed by the opponent with absolute military strength, Zhou Yafu will not be defeated.
Of course, if 300,000 troops in Jizhou attacked Zhou Yafu, Zhou Yafu would probably have to flee in panic and flee back south of the Yellow River.
The Yellow River is the best line of defense.
After ordering Zhou Yafu to conduct a defensive counterattack and intervene in the Jizhou dispute, Chu Tian continued to attack Yuzhou.
Whether Zhou Yafu can gain a foothold north of the Yellow River depends on Zhou Yafu's own ability. Chu Tian thought it could be consumed by an infantry legion.
In addition to the notes of Zhan Ying, Chu Tian also asked Xia Tianliang to draw up a detailed strategic arrangement for Zhou Yafu, which was sent by the cavalry.
Unlike the Song Dynasty's strict regulations on what formations should military generals use, Chu Tian did not interfere in tactics. The so-called generals were outside and the military orders were not accepted. Chu Tian's order only told Zhou Yafu what strategic goals his army would achieve, and what if it could not achieve the strategic goals.
The scout cavalry came back to report: "There is Yanling ahead, there is a river and a swamp that is soaked by flooding rivers. The white-robed legion crossed the river, and there was basically no enemy."
The information that Warhawks can provide is limited, and the specific terrain still depends on scout cavalry to investigate.
"At one moment, another, we used war eagles to explore the surroundings of the swamp and sent a cavalry scout to test it."
Chu Tian was very cautious in facing the terrain of swamps.
The terrain of "Lord" is different from reality, and the ancient terrain is also different from that of modern times, because the Yellow River is changed every once in a while, and so are some rivers.
Soon two war eagles hovered in the air, and an iron eagle scout team crossed the river to conduct reconnaissance.
A team of cavalry with about 4,000 men saw the war eagles in the air, and the two generals leading the team looked pale.
The role of the war eagle was discovered by the god Sun Bin in the Battle of Jinan. In addition, Chu Tian frequently used the war eagle, so all the princes already knew the role of the war eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout.
Once a war eagle is discovered, it means that your whereabouts have been exposed, especially a cavalry of 4,000 people, who can escape the sight of the war eagle unless they are completely hiding in the mountains and valleys.
"Let's go."
Two generals led 4,000 cavalrymen to leave.
"The lord is really wise and powerful. The Yuzhou army has indeed set up ambush in the swamp area. If we cross the river rashly, we will definitely be attacked halfway."
The Tieying Scout who went to the other side of the river came back to report to Chu Tian, with admiration in his eyes.
A big taboo for military strategists, attack halfway through.
"Tang is also a capable person, otherwise he would not have replaced Yuan Shu and owned Yuzhou."
"Master, can we march now?"
"The whole army..."
Chu Tian was about to pull out the camp, but the emperor-level sword general on his waist actually trembled.
To be continued...
