"Very good, you will be a member of the Northern Army from now on!"

Mi Fang patted Xiahou En on the shoulder and accepted the sword god Xiahou En into the fifth school of the Northern Army.

Xiahou En carried a long sword on his back and just used his sword technique in front of Mi Fang and others.

Xiahou En's swordsmanship was superb. In the eyes of Mi Fang, Xing Daorong and others, it was astonishing as ever, thinking that Xiahou En's force might be more powerful than anyone they had seen.

Therefore, Xiahou En was recognized by Mi Fang, who was already the general of the Wuwei with his superb swordsmanship.

General Wuwei is already a senior general.

Mi Fang followed Chu Tian for more than ten years. In the early days, the Mi family helped Chu Tian make a fortune. Recently, Mi Zhu donated another million taels of silver, so Mi Fang rose to prominence in Chu Tian. As long as he did not make big mistakes, he still had a chance to be promoted.

"When will our Five Northern Army Schools go to war? My long sword is already hungry."

Xiahou En was eager to try.

"Don't worry, our Five Northern Army Schools will soon go to deal with the Northern Army in Jiangdong. Do you know that? The most elite army under the King of Wu. If you are not careful, you may be defeated by the Northern Army. Our Five Northern Army Schools cannot have any failure."

Mi Fang also knows that if you want to climb up, you must try your best to avoid big defeats.

Countless famous generals are prone to fail in the end.

"Northern Mansion Army? Let my long sword wipe out all powerful enemies for King Xia!"

At this time, Xiahou En was still full of confidence and believed that he could achieve unparalleled achievements.

"I have no doubts about the sword skills of the Xiahou brothers."

Xing Daorong and Wu Anguo were frightened by Xiahou En's gorgeous swordsmanship, so they also had confidence in Xiahou En.

The Five Northern Army Clans and Sanhe Cavalry gathered in Xiacheng to prepare to attack the Northern Army that occupied the eastern part of Langya Kingdom.

The Northern Prefecture Army occupied the eastern part of Langya Kingdom, but did not dare to attack Xiacheng, because Xiacheng was located in the Yihe River and Shuhe Plain and was suitable for large cavalry charges.

Chu Tian went on an expedition in person, trying to regain the county occupied by the Wu army.

The Roman Legion had already fought with the Northern Prefecture Army, and the Shenji Camp joined forces with the Roman Legion.

The Five Northern Army Clans and the Sanhe Cavalry attacked Xihai County from another direction.

The army of Langya Kingdom was mobilized, and at least 200,000 Xia troops were restrained in Langya Kingdom.

On the sea surface of the Yellow Sea, the Jiangdong Navy attacked Huang County, Donglai County, attempting to destroy the Fubo Army.

However, the Fubo army received orders in advance and retreated to Liaodong and avoided the Jiangdong Navy.

There were 30,000 troops in Huang County to prevent the Jiangdong Navy from conquering Huang County.

The bronze bird stood on the deck of a huge building ship, looking out at the heavily guarded Huang County.

Chu Tian transferred back 300,000 imperial guards to defend Xuzhou. After Qingzhou, the Jiangdong Navy could not easily occupy the coastal county town as easily as it was at the beginning.

"The Xia army was already prepared. Sure enough, it was difficult to succeed in the northern expedition without a powerful cavalry. The only successful northern expedition was also because the Mongols raised a large number of war horses in the Jianghuai area. Zhu Yuanzhang had a strong cavalry, and the Mongols in the north were in civil strife at that time..."

The predicament of Tongque at this time? Like separatist forces such as the Eastern Wu and Southern Song Dynasty, even if they temporarily conquered some northern counties and counties without large-scale cavalry, it would be difficult to defend.

Lu Meng once explained to Sun Quan that even if Xuzhou is taken down, he will not be able to defend Xuzhou for a long time.

At this time, Lu Meng was dressed in white clothes. Lu Meng, who was carefully cultivated by Tongque, seemed to be a Confucian general. He could even be competent for the position of military advisor and reminded Tongque: "Lord? Our army has been going north for a long time and has been away from Jianye for a long time? The news is lagging behind? I am afraid that Jianye will be in a mistake. It is better to leave a side army to harass Langya and Donglai County at all times, and to restrain the Imperial Guards of King Xia. The lord turns to attack Guangling County? Be close to Jianye? You can also restrain the troops of Guangling County. Wait for changes in the north, don't make good plans."

"It seems now? I have to do that."

"Return to Jiangdong!"

Zhou Yu, the commander-general of the Jiangdong Navy, led the fleet and returned from Donglai County.

In Nanyang County, Wu Qi led the strict Wei Wuzhang Army to the city? The Wancheng defenders could already feel the oppression of Wu Qi's army.

Insert a perfect replica of the old version of the book-chasing artifact that can be changed by changing the source—.

The oppression brought by the army commanded by Wu Qi? It is far from the legion commanded by ordinary generals.

The King of Tang said that Tang led the Nanyang County garrison and stationed in Wancheng to resist the Xia army.

Is it not very nervous to say that Tang is not very nervous? Because the general who defends Wancheng is Zhang Xun, the top guard in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although Zhang Xun was not the commander of a large army like Wei Qing, Yue Fei, and Wu Qi, according to the bonus of defending the city, no one in the Eastern Han Dynasty was right.

Zhang Xun's thousands of men can restrain more than 100,000 siege troops.

Therefore, not many people were willing to attack the city guarded by Zhang Xun.

The siege battle was quite fierce, especially the siege battle with famous defenders, which was undoubtedly a nightmare for the siege. Zhu Neng and Geng Yan used cavalry to attack a mountain city defended by famous defenders in Goryeo, and could not be defeated in a short period of time.

Wancheng is a large city. After years of operation in the Tang Dynasty, the city was strong, the source of troops was abundant, and the food was abundant. There was also a guard general Zhang Xun. Therefore, in Chutian and Wu Qi's plan, the Xia army would bypass Wancheng, take Xinye, and threaten Fancheng and Xiangyang.

As for how to capture Wancheng, Wu Qi advocated siege as the main focus until Tang surrendered.

According to the player's endurance, the food and grass are exhausted, or the situation is over, they will basically choose to surrender.

Teams of Xia army arrived at the city of Wancheng, and Wei Wushou was fierce and murderous.

The Xia army's iron armor and war horses were endless.

The Xia Road in Fangcheng between Xuchang and Wancheng was opened by the Xia army, and the Xia army's cavalry poured into the Nanyang Basin.

The Tang army has now been huddled in Wancheng and dared not fight against the Xia army in the field.

It is said that the Tang Dynasty ruling Guo Ziyi and Qin Qiong and Li Daozong led a team of troops to Fancheng to join the Song army coming from Xiangyang, trying to cooperate inside and outside to defeat Wu Qi.

"Even if the opponent is a military sage, Wu Qi, he cannot capture this city. Zhang Xun's defense bonus, coupled with the city wall's defense bonus, has reached a terrifying level. It is absolutely not worth the effort to attack Wancheng," he said.

It is said that Tang is very clear about Zhang Xun’s ability.

As Zhang Xun's lord, it is said that Tang can see Zhang Xun's abilities.

【Name】: Zhang Xun

【Talent】: King-level commander (city guarding system)

[Commander]: 91 [Military power]: 61 [Intellect]: 90 [Politics]: 71 [Character]: 95

【Feature】: Loyalty and righteousness

【Feature 1】: Defend a city, defend the world (SSS-level city defense features, defense force +70%, defense fortification durability +30%, defense fortification damage to enemy forces +20%)

【Feature 2】: Honest righteousness (S-class characteristics, morale decline rate of defenders -20%, 20% morale is restored every 10 days)

【Feature 3】: Active defense (S-level feature, Legion damage +18% when attacking enemy troops from the city)

[Special Army]: Suiyang Dead Soldier (Fifth-level Light Infantry/Board and Crossbowman, maximum number of 7,000, high city defense bonus)

Said Tang took a look at Zhang Xun's abilities again and knew it.

Although Zhang Xun is only a king-level commander and has few soldiers who can command, Zhang Xun has the SSS-level city-guarding characteristics of "guarding one city, defending the world."

This city defense feature is simply terrifying, greatly improving the defense force, durability of the fortifications, and the city defense lethality.

With the S-level motivational feature, it is "stern" to effectively ensure that the morale of the defenders will not decline to the point where they cannot fight because of the city being attacked.

It is said that Tang believed that there were not many famous generals who were willing to attack the city guarded by Zhang Xun, even Wu Qi was no exception.

Even if Chu Tian gave Wu Qi enough troops to pacify Wancheng, he would suffer heavy losses, just like the rebels in the Anshi Rebellion.

Every famous general has his own ability. Zhang Xun's ability is to defend the city, and he will play the city to the extreme, terrifying level.

It can be said that when Zhang Xun was guarding the city, he was not afraid of the Saint-level commander attacking.

Zhang Xun is not without weaknesses.

As long as Zhang Xun goes out of the city to fight Wu Qi, Wu Qi can crush Zhang Xun because the city guarding characteristics cannot be effective in the wild. The "righteousness" characteristic can only be effective when defending the city.

This also determines that Zhang Xun is in a passive position.

If Zhang Xun is trapped in a city, Zhang Xun will lose his power.

Zhang Xun's practical value can be big or small. When he encounters a siege lord general with a strong head, he will be bleeding.

If the opponent has enough troops to siege the city and the main force bypasses the city defended by Zhang Xun, then Zhang Xun's value will decrease.

Of course, Zhang Xun also has the characteristic of "active defense" and has a certain ability to go out of the city to counterattack.

Wu Qi's choice was to bypass the city guarded by Zhang Xun.

"Wei Wuji commanded 20,000 Wei Wu soldiers and 80,000 low-level cavalry to threaten Wancheng. If the Wancheng defenders leave the city, they will send Wei Wu soldiers to destroy them."

Wu Qi ordered his son Wei Wuji to surround Wancheng without attacking.

He already knew that Zhang Xun's ability to defend the city was extremely terrifying and had no intention of attacking Wancheng.

Chu Tian transferred the Red Barbarian Cannons, so that Wu Qi could use them according to the situation.

In addition to the Red Barbarian Cannon, Chu Tian left behind the Third Women's Corps of the Imperial Guard, the Chief General Mulan; the Eighth Khitan Corps, the Chief General Xiao Chuo; and the Seventh National Guard Corps, the Chief General Joan of Arc, urged the French National Guard Corps, Bohemiah Cheborough Corps, and the Western Byzantine Teaching Regiment.

In addition, King Arthur Artoria, who belongs to the First Iron Cavalry Legion of the Imperial Guards, led 200 round table knights as heavy cavalry assault teams, under the command of Xiao Chuo.

Mulan served as the head coach with about 200,000 imperial guards.

Wu Qi commanded the First Martial Soldiers and the Third Iron Wall Legion of the Central Plains Army, with a total of 200,000 troops, and joined forces with Mulan to head south.

Mulan temporarily commanded the entire army on Chu Tian’s behalf, and Xiao Chuo served as military advisor.

Wu Qi attacks Fancheng, while Mulan attacks Xinye.

There is a white river between Fancheng and Xinye.

The first phase of the Xia army's attack on Jingzhou was the target of attacking Fancheng, Xinye and other peripheral defense lines.

In the second stage, it captured Xiangyang and took Jiangling directly.

In the third stage, Jiangxia, Jingnan and other places were taken, and the entire Jingzhou was captured.

The vanguard general of the Khitan Army, Xiao Talin, led 3,000 cavalrymen of the Shan Army, who were approaching Xinye.

The Jingzhou Song Army was stationed in Xinye. The generals such as Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, Cai Mao were obtained by the generals of Xinye. In order to strengthen Xinye's defense, Yang Shilang sent the guard general Wu Jie.

Wu Jie is a first-class bow and crossbow general.

Huang Zhong stood on the wall of Xinye City and looked out to the north.

At this time, Huang Zhong was over 50 years old and his temples were gray.
