"A light cavalry has entered the hinterland of Yangdu County, and the Taishan thief Changxi has been defeated. You must be careful!"

As the leader of the alliance, Qi Xiaobai reminded the lords who came to support.

"It's too late, my army was attacked..."

A lord of Xihai County in Langya country rolled and climbed, and climbed the hillside with his personal soldiers.

At the bottom, the three thousand soldiers and horses he brought were being attacked by the opponent's cavalry.

The silver-level general was stabbed to death by a young general in white, and he was raised high.

Such a terrifying scene made the lord unable to recover for a long time.

Three thousand soldiers and horses were slaughtered and scattered by the opponent, and many horses were looted.

The lords of the Anti-Chutian Alliance's marching speed were greatly reduced. They all knew that Chutian sent a team of cavalry to defeat Changxi and a lord of Xihai County successively.

This team of cavalry only killed and wounded more than 1,000 coalition troops each time, and did not cause a devastating blow to the coalition troops.

When Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui crossed Zhanhun Town to block the reinforcements, Chu Tian's main force was already under Zhanhun Town, and more than 20,000 people surrounded Zhanhun Town.

Fang Xuanling held a map in his hand: "If you want to destroy Yangdu City, you must first take Battle Soul Town."

"Prepare to attack."

Chutian is ready to storm Zhanhun Town.

He didn't think Qi Xiaobai would surrender, after all, there were 100,000 reinforcements behind Qi Xiaobai.

Although the 100,000 reinforcements moved forward cautiously for fear of being ambushed by Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui, they were still slowly gathering towards Zhanhun Town.

Chang Xi, who was hiding in Yangdu City, also echoed Qi Xiaobaiyao.

"I'm not worried about Qi Xiaobai and Chang Xi joining together, but I'm worried about Xiacheng and Langya City."

Chu Tian expressed his concerns when the army was about to attack the town.

Fang Xuanling continued to make suggestions for Chutian: "The lord can be surrounded by three and one, and do not deploy troops and horses in the north. If there is a sudden attack, the defenders will most likely escape from the north gate."

"It makes sense, so be it. Zhou Yafu attacked the west gate, Xue Yue attacked the east gate, and I attacked the south gate myself."

Chu Tian's three-pronged approach made Qi Xiaobai uncomfortable.

In any case, the nail in Battle Soul Town must be pulled out. It has caused itself trouble after another.

The drums were beaten, and the Archers from the Shooting Camp and Xuzhou fired ten thousand arrows, and the infantry carrying the ladder attacked Zhanhun Town!

A group of 5,000 soldiers was marching fast towards Zhanhun Town, and they were not hindered by the movement of Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui's cavalry in Yangdu County.

The leader of the team was a military general wearing Han Xuanjia, and the army was under the banner of Lingcheng.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped the 5,000-strong army from moving forward.

In order to prevent the pigs from being attacked by the Xiacheng cavalry, Xu Sheng sent dozens of cavalrymen to spread out and continue to pass on the information ahead.

A scout cavalry came back and reported to Xu Sheng: "General, there are dense horseshoe prints ahead!"

Xu Sheng pondered for a while, and finally ordered: "The crossbowman is ready."

A thousand Xuzhou crossbowmen pulled their crossbow arrows and ambushed in Xu Sheng's army.

Xu Sheng continued to move forward,

Deliberately make the formation of the forward soldiers and horses out of order.

When the 5,000 troops marched forward for two miles, a cavalry came out, trying to cut off Xu Sheng's army!

Horses' hoofs are rolling, and the wind is galloping!

Xu Sheng's soldiers looked nervous and felt involuntary panic in the face of the cavalry charge.

"The whole army must not panic, the crossbow array shoots!"

Xu Sheng ordered that the loose-looking soldiers on the periphery stepped back, revealing three rows of crossbowmen!

Three rows of crossbowmen are either half-squatting or standing, holding a strong crossbow in their hands, and 800 crossbow arrows are fired!

A sharp crossbow arrow hit Hua Mulan's shoulder armor, and the impact made her body shake!

Hua Mulan snorted, she understood that this time she had encountered a difficult opponent. The opponent's ability to manage the army is not comparable to the previous people.

A round of crossbow arrows volleyed, and dozens of light cavalrymen in the first few rows were killed and fell from their horses.

After the crossbowmen fired, the spear and shield soldiers appeared, and long spears two or three meters long were mounted on the shield at an inclined angle, blocking the light cavalry assault!

Once the light cavalry collided with the pike phalanx, they would definitely turn their backs on their horses!

"retreat!"

With her superb riding skills, Hua Mulan turned in front of the spear formation and stabbed one of the opponent's infantry to death with a horse lance.

However, the light cavalry who followed Hua Mulan did not necessarily have good equestrian skills. A dozen or so light cavalrymen had no time to dodge and crashed into the spear forest and were pierced by long spears!

"Shoot the enemy general!"

Xu Sheng immediately commanded, and the longbowmen threw a rain of arrows at Mulan and her cavalry!

Another arrow hit Mulan's Zhajia!

At this time, Xue Rengui, as before, led the light cavalry to attack Xu Sheng's flank, and encountered the same predicament as Hua Mulan.

On the premise that Xu Sheng found out that Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui were in ambush, he made preparations in advance so that no water leaked.

Except for the loss of hundreds of light cavalry in vain, Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui could not break the formation.

If Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui forcibly entered the enemy's line, they might not be able to defeat Xu Sheng's army, but the cavalry would suffer heavy losses.

Hua Mulan held almost all of Xiacheng's light cavalry in her hand. If all the light cavalry were buried here in order to defeat Xu Sheng, Xiacheng would have no light cavalry to use.

In order to consider for the lord, Hua Mulan gave up the idea of ​​storming Xu Sheng's army.

"General Mulan, are you okay?"

Xue Rengui saw that there were two arrows in Hua Mulan's Zhajia. As the captain of the guard, he knew that the lord favored this general, and he couldn't help worrying that Hua Mulan would be killed in battle and could not represent him.

"Let's retreat."

Mulan withdrew unwillingly.

Xu Sheng saw the 2,000 cavalry circling around his army, and then left with a slightly solemn expression.

He realized that the opponent's generals were not easy to deal with.

"General, what should we do?"

"Continue to go south to support Battle Soul Town."

20,000 soldiers stormed Zhanhun Town, Li Guang shot and killed the ordinary generals in Zhanhun Town one after another, and covered the Xiliu Camp to attack the city wall!

Wu Sangui brought a small number of elite infantry to fight against the Xiliu Camp, and wanted to drive the Xiliu Camp down.

Several soldiers of the Xiliu Battalion leaned closely together, holding their shields.

Wu Sangui, who can usually cut down ordinary light infantry, found that it was very difficult to fight against Xiliuying.

"Is this a high-level unit?"

Wu Sangui was blocked by a group of Xiliu Battalion soldiers, and the halberds of the Xiliu Battalion infantry even stabbed Wu Sangui's armor. He understood that the Xiliu Ying, like his Guanning Cavalry, was a special unit, or a high-level unit.

"Kick them off!"

Qi Xiaobai personally brought a team of soldiers to reinforce, and stormed the dozen or so Xiliu Battalion infantrymen who had reached the city!

Chutian, who was supervising the battle, finally understood how difficult it was to siege the city.

This was the first time that Chutian took the initiative to launch a tough battle. Zhanhun Town was only a third-level town, but it blocked the offensive of 20,000 people in Chutian.

"If you attack Langya City by force, it is estimated that it will be difficult to defeat without a hundred thousand troops."

Chutian was blocked by Zhanhun Town, and he couldn't help but feel fortunate that there was no strong attack when they attacked Langya City.

The offensive against Zhanhun Town continued for a day, but still unable to capture, Chu Tianmingjin withdrew his troops.

Chutian summoned all the generals, Fang Xuanling, and Xue Yue to summarize the mistakes of the siege and the arrangements for the siege the next day.

The existence of the town has caused countless lords and famous generals to fall into the sand.

A fortified city can even hold back an army for more than a year. Therefore, Chutian did not feel setback because he could not capture Zhanhun Town in one day.

If this is a setback, Chutian will be depressed to death when he really encounters a large city guarded by a famous general in the future.

Chutian set up temporary camps under the city to prevent night attacks.

The sound of hooves sounded, and the patrolling soldiers immediately alerted.

"It's our cavalry!"

The cavalry of Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui returned.

Chu Tian knew that the two had made great achievements again, so he took the initiative to greet them.

But when he saw two broken arrows stuck in Hua Mulan's body, he couldn't help frowning: "What's going on?"

"The last general is incompetent, and he was repelled by the enemy general when he led the cavalry to charge."

Hua Mulan reported on the process of the three battles.

At one time, he defeated the 30,000-strong Changxi Taishan army and beheaded more than 1,000 people. At one time, the lord's army of Xihai County was defeated by 3,000, and hundreds of people were beheaded. In one attack on Xu Sheng's army, hundreds of light cavalry were damaged, and dozens of Xu Sheng's army were killed at the same time.

Chutian heard that an army of about 5,000 people not only discovered the traces of Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui's cavalry, but also set traps to kill hundreds of light cavalry in Xiacheng, and fell into deep thought.

He realized that the other party might be a historical military general, or a lord with the ability to command troops and horses.

Chutian did not blame Mulan.

Compared with the credit for defeating Changxi's 30,000 Taishan army, the loss of more than a hundred light cavalry was nothing.

Unless Hua Mulan insisted on attacking Xu Sheng's army, causing the entire army of Xiacheng's light cavalry to be wiped out, Chu Tian would blame her.

Chu Tian said, "It can't be like this next time."

"Yes, I will not be easily deceived next time."

"I mean don't get hurt..."

Chutian arranged for Li Lan, an intermediate doctor, to help Mulan heal her injuries.

Li Lan is now an intermediate doctor and is accumulating experience, and will have the opportunity to be upgraded to a senior doctor in the future.

Li Lan took Hua Mulan to the tent.

"Is there a problem with the injury? If you need any herbs, just let me know."

Chu Tian was not at ease and wanted to ask Li Lan about Mulan's injury. However, when Hua Mulan arrived in the military tent, she had already taken off her armor, and her white back was facing Chutian. When Hua Mulan heard Chu Tian's voice, she quickly covered the front with her clothes.

Chu Tian withdrew from the military tent, a little embarrassed.

"Please don't worry, Lord. General Mulan is only injured on the shoulder and will not leave any scars."

Li Lan's voice came from the military tent.

Fortunately, in "Lord", most of the injuries can be completely healed without any sequelae, otherwise it will be uncomfortable in the future.

In history, many warriors charged into battle when they were young, and they were prone to diseases when they were old. "Lord" does not have this problem, not even scars.

Unless the injury is serious, it will result in disability.

"Xia Xia Liang told me an important piece of information. Juxian has a lord who recruited Wu State's general Xu Sheng, and Beihai State Minister Kong Rong recruited Taishi Ci... The general who frustrated Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui is unlikely to be Taishi Ci. .Then it may be Xu Sheng. The lord of Ju County seems to have joined the alliance against me."

Chutian couldn't help but think of Xu Sheng, a famous general of Wu State. Xu Sheng served for Sun Quan and fought against Huang Zu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Cao Xiu.

If it is really Xu Sheng, defending with 5,000 soldiers and horses, it is indeed possible to repel Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui.

Victory or defeat is not as simple as simply comparing data, but also depends on the situation, arms, resourcefulness, terrain, morale, formation, quantity... and luck of the offensive and defensive sides.

"It's troublesome now."

Chu Tian thought of facing Wu Sangui and Xu Sheng at the same time, as well as Chang Xi, who was defeated but did not hurt the root. These are all historical military generals, and the next situation is even more difficult.

The 5,000 people led by Xu Sheng were probably the strongest soldiers in all the reinforcements, even more difficult than the 20,000-30,000 Taishan thieves.

After passing Li Lan to stop the bleeding, Hua Mulan came out of the tent and was a little timid when she saw Chu Tian: "My lord, did you see something..."

Usually, Mulan is always cold and frosty, and after her favorability level rises, she will rarely feel shy.

"No, absolutely nothing."

Chu Tian didn't look up, his focus was on how to defeat Xu Sheng's army.

He sat on the ground with a map spread out on the ground, observing the various trails in Yangdu County under the candlelight.

He had already calculated Xu Sheng's marching route, but it was difficult to ambush.

First, there is a lack of canyons and forests; second, it is very difficult to ambush a famous general.

If you can't ambush, you can only fight head-on. It is not easy to defeat Xu Sheng in a frontal battle, and there are other lord troops and Taishan thieves around who are against the Chutian Alliance.

Hua Mulan knelt on the ground and said, "The last general can lead a light cavalry and cut off their food supply. Within seven days, they will retreat."

"Seven days is enough time for the other side to gather more than 70,000 troops near the town. They will start a battle before the rations are exhausted. And a coalition of 35,000 people is marching towards Xiacheng. Once Xiacheng is captured, we will be very passive."

Chu Tian expressed his inner worries.

Compared with the anti-Chutian alliance, delaying time is more unfavorable to Chutian. Reinforcements from all walks of life arrive one after another, and Chutian will fall into a war of attrition.

Seeing Chu Tian frowning, Hua Mulan volunteered: "The last general can lead the heavy cavalry and light cavalry to forcibly destroy the opponent's large formation. As long as you pay half the price, you can defeat that 5,000-strong army!"

"Wait...heavy cavalry?"

Chu Tian seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

He almost forgot that he still had a heavy cavalry of about 300 people in his hands. This heavy cavalry is of little use in siege warfare, and will be a decisive force in battles on the plains.

"military adviser!"

Chu Tian went directly to Fang Xuanling, leaving Hua Mulan in the army tent.

"..."

Mulan has a complicated mood.

Chu Tian found Fang Xuanling and told him his plan to deal with Xu Sheng.

Whenever Chutian has a plan, if Fang Xuanling joins the army by his side, Chu Tian will definitely discuss the plan with Fang Xuanling to prevent mistakes.

Fang Xuanling pondered for half a column of incense: "The lord has a strong general who can implement this plan, otherwise it will be quite dangerous."

"Hua Mulan is injured, so Xue Rengui or Li Guang can only command the heavy cavalry. However, Li Guang's luck is not good. This battle is a matter of life and death. It is better for Xue Rengui to temporarily serve as the commander of the heavy cavalry."
