Under Kunyang City, the Northern Army Nine Tigers commanded the elite troops of the Northern Army and protected the Xin Dynasty Emperor Wang Mang for inspection.

Because Wang Mang led the army in person, the morale of the 800,000 New Dynasties increased sharply.

Wang Mang asked people to build a catapult car, a siege hammer, a ladder car, and excavate tunnels.

It is completely opposite to Wang Yi and Wang Xun underestimated Kunyang City, and Wang Mang was as if he was facing a great enemy.

"If this battle is lost, I will lose everything about me, including my life."

Wang Mang's face was solemn.

He turned to Wang Yi and asked, "I have promised to win Liu Xiu's head to be granted a 100,000 marquis and a reward of 200,000 gold. So far, no one is willing to kill Liu Xiu in exchange for a reward?"

"Your Majesty, I haven't heard of anyone taking Liu Xiu's head. It seems that Liu Xiu is quite popular among the Green Forest Army."

"Since I am not as soft as I can, I can only send a large army to defeat Liu Xiu and kill him. For this day, I have made a lot of preparations. As long as I kill Liu Xiu and pacify the uprising of peasant army in various places, the world will be settled again."

Wang Mang's tone was full of uncertainty.

Yan You came to Wang Mang and said to Wang Mang: "Your Majesty, you have found the destination of the 20,000 cavalrymen who came out of Kunyang City. They are currently recruiting Green Forest Army troops in Yancheng, preparing to cooperate with the defenders inside and outside the city to rescue the defenders in Kunyang City. Please deal with him."

"Is Liu Xiu among the 20,000 cavalrymen?"

"I don't know..."

"It seems that Liu Xiu will probably be outside the city, and he will not sit obediently and wait for death, otherwise he will not be Liu Xiu. Using Kunyang City as bait to attract Liu Xiu, I must kill him to sit firmly on the throne."

Wang Mang quickly got an idea.

Although Yan You didn't understand why Wang Mang was resentful of Liu Xiu, he still followed the order: "The last general led a team of cavalry to patrol the direction of Yancheng. Once Liu Xiu marched towards Kunyang, he would immediately notify His Majesty."

"Very good, Yan You, it seems that you are much more reliable than Wang Yi, Wang Xun and others. I will give you the Hu Ben Army and the 100,000 army."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wang Yi asked with an old face, "Your Majesty means, we will not attack Kunyang City?"

"No, we must attack Kunyang City fiercely and force Liu Xiu to return to the rescue as soon as possible, but we do not allow Kunyang City to surrender, nor can we really capture Kunyang City. I don't believe that the 800,000 army will lose to Liu Xiu's tens of thousands."

Wang Mang was confident that he had elite soldiers and powerful generals, and he summoned troops from all prefectures and counties in the world, so he would not be able to defeat Liu Xiu's tens of thousands of people.

If it were only 800,000 Yellow Turban Army, it might be defeated by 30,000 cavalrymen, but Wang Mang does not lack high-level troops or military generals. What he may lack is one or two top commanders.

The army of the Xin Dynasty began to attack Kunyang City under Wang Mang's order!

The catapult roared, and huge rocks roared and fell!

boom!

The stone hit a battlement, and the gravel splashed, and several cracks appeared in the battlement.

The Green Forest Army on the city wall was shocked by the catapult and did not dare to look up.

"The bandits have attacked the city!"

A Green Forest soldier shouted in horror.

Liang Hongyu led a team of crossbow soldiers to the city, risking being killed by a catapult, and looked at the enemy soldiers outside the city.

Boom! Another loud bang, the huge rock shot by the catapult hit the city tower, the tiles broke, fell, and sand filled with dust!

Liang Hongyu was unmoved because her sight was already attracted by the army all over the mountains.

Wang Mang sent the first batch of troops to attack Kunyang City, which was 100,000!

For the small city of Kunyang, such troops are already a bit of a lifting and cannot be fully expanded.

The dense new army flooded Kunyang City, and Kunyang City became a solid reef, allowing the waves formed by the New Dynasty army to beat!

The huge rocks fell, the crossbow roared, the huge siege tower approached the city wall, and the 100,000 new troops began to attack this sturdy city!

Thirty thousand crossbowmen fired thousands of arrows at once, covering the defenders on the city wall, Liang Hongyu had to hide behind the city wall!

The thick crossbow arrows shot from the bed crossbow were amazingly penetrating and even penetrated into the city wall!

"How many arrows did Wang Mang prepare in advance?"

Liang Hongyu rarely saw such a big enemy. He directly used tens of thousands of archers to suppress the defenders and continued to shoot. The archers on the city wall did not dare to look up and fight back.

"Is this the army of the New Dynasty? This number makes people feel numb..."

Huo Qing led the shooting camp to the city, and he had to brave the opponent's rain of arrows to suppress the enemy troops attacking the city.

The New Dynasty army was already under the cover of archers, and the ant attached to the city, and dozens of ladders had hooked up the city wall. The siege tower was less than thirty meters away from the city wall!

"Use tin oil!"

The hot tincture oil was poured down and flowed along the ladder. The soldiers siege were poured on by the tincture oil, screamed, and then rolled down. The ladder burned because of the hot temperature!

Liang Hongyu's Jianyan Crossbowman fired the rockets in a volley. Liang Hongyu, as a hero, had an additional ignition bonus to the fire arrows. Because the two siege towers were shot by too many rockets, the enemy siege was unable to extinguish the raging fire in time, and the rolling smoke rose!

"kill!"

New army infantry have already climbed the city. They fought with the Green Forest Army on the city wall, collided with weapons, and flesh and blood splattered. From time to time, enemy troops siege were pushed down by the defenders and fell from the seven-meter city wall, smashing to pieces!

One general's success has resulted in thousands of bones, and there are more than ten thousand bones here!

"My brother is fighting in Central Asia, and Chu Tian gathers troops outside the city. I can't hold them back. I have to defend this city no matter what."

Huo Qing has a bonus to defend the city, which can improve the defense of the defenders and provide bonuses to the morale of the defenders.

Because she and Liang Hongyu were commanding the crossbowmen, they killed and killed the Xin Dynasty army that was sieging the city, and tried their best to delay the new army's siege progress.

Yan You's 100,000 new troops were unable to capture Kunyang City for a long time.

Another important reason is that Wang Mang did not intend to take Kunyang so soon, but wanted to use Kunyang to lure Liu Xiu, the son of destiny.

Wang Mang was not focused on Kunyang City. He was deploying the remaining army of more than 700,000, waiting for Liu Xiu, and Chu Tian to fall into the trap.

...

On the other hand, Liu Xiu personally led 3,000 dead soldiers and joined forces with Chu Tian's 20,000 cavalrymen to save Kunyang, while Ma Wu and Wang Ba all the generals led 14,000 infantry and cavalry to be responsible for subsequent responses.

Chu Tian was shocked by Liu Xiu's courage. How dare he do it?

Liu Xiu, with three thousand cavalrymen, wanted to save Kunyang.

Chu Tian didn't know whether Liu Xiu was brave or that he was really just trying to do something. He planned things with others and succeeded in heaven.

"Wang Mang came in person to stabilize the morale of the army and could not underestimate the 800,000 new army. Wang Mang established the Xin Dynasty and was a strange man himself and could not infer according to common sense. I hope that with Liu Xiu, he could really turn bad luck into good fortune. Military advisor, if you make a mistake in your judgment, I will deduct your salary when you go back."

Because Chu Tian believed Sun Bin's advice and believed that Liu Xiu was the son of unreliable luck, he chose to take risks with Liu Xiu and did not make any decisions.

With all the plans, Chu Tian’s 20,000 cavalrymen, plus the 17,000 Green Forest Army recruited by Liu Xiu, there were a total of 37,000 people.

There are 29,000 people in Kunyang City, which means the total force has increased to 66,000.

The proportion of 66,000 soldiers and horses is still huge when dealing with 840,000 soldiers and horses.

Wang Mang's army had a number of special troops alone, and it was conceivable.

In Chu Tian, ​​except for Zhao Yun, other cavalry generals did not come. If King Arthur, Taishici, Wanyan Chen Monk, Yuchi Gong and others were present, they might not be so critical.

The bonus received by Chu Tian’s cavalry is the two characteristics of Chu Tian’s cavalry, “Canglang White Deer” and “Fenglang Juxu”. Because it is not against foreign troops, the effect of “Fenglang Juxu” is not complete.

In addition, there are also the halo of the entire army, "Hanwu" (a bonus to civilized troops of the Han Empire) and "Tiankhan" (a bonus to alien cavalry).

Sun Bin's military advisor auxiliary characteristics also have bonuses.

Finally, there is the unknown halo of the entire army of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

With several effects superimposed, Chu Tian’s cavalry is still quite explosive.

The problem is that the cavalry cannot completely fall into the 800,000 army.

Once the cavalry speed slows down, the combat power of the cavalry troops will decrease and the cavalry's advantage will be lost.

Sun Bin was also a little worried about Liu Xiu's luck: "I shouldn't have much deviation in my judgment. I have a premonition that as long as I follow Liu Xiu and don't do it easily, I can win."

"It's that simple?"

This is when Chu Tian rarely hugs his thighs.

In the first national war, I met Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin defeated the Goryeo Rodzi and the Goguryeo Army, and Chu Tian followed suit to find the bargain.

And this time, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu seemed to be very powerful. None of these founding emperors were ordinary people.

But to be honest, it feels good to hug your thighs. Chu Tian hasn't felt this way for a long time.
