"Why did the prefect of Lujiang County go to Jiangnan in the middle?"

The prefect of Jiujiang County was delayed by Tongjae invited by Chutian. As a result, Tongjae led the Beifu army to the south of the Yangtze River and gave up Shouchun City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

He re-confirmed that this was not a plan by the Tong Sparrow, and he was relieved.

The Beifu army of Tongque brought him a great threat.

The Beifu army is like a cloud of fierce generals, and its soldiers are brave and good at fighting. They are not only good at water battles, but also can land battles, and they are enough to run rampant in the Huainan area.

The strategic direction of the Tongjak changed, creating an opportunity for the prefect of Jiujiang to attack Xuzhou.

"Guangling County has 30,000 Chen Yuanlong standing guard. The water network and swamps are dense and it is difficult to march. It is better to turn to Xiapi and perhaps win."

Guo Jia followed the governor of Jiujiang to Shouchun and proposed to attack Xiapi instead of Guangling.

Guangling County, which Chen Deng defended, made people not want to attack.

"Yuan Shu has urged me to attack Xuzhou many times, but now the threat posed by the bronze sparrows has been lifted. Tens of thousands of troops can be recruited to attack Xiapi. There are only state minister Li Kui and 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xiapi. Three days later, the entire army will be rectified and set off! "

The prefect of Jiujiang was determined to attack Xiapi.

Chen Qingzhi was not good at horseback riding, but he still learned the skills of horseback riding and led the army of seven hundred white robes to follow the large army. Although this white-robed army was light cavalry, it was a very rare seventh-order light cavalry. Generally, the seventh-order arms and above are heavy armored infantry or heavy cavalry. As light cavalry, they can become seventh-order arms, which is extraordinary.

In Xiapi City, Li Kui learned that Jiujiang County's troops and horses cooperated with Yuan Shu to attack Xiapi City, and immediately strengthened the city's defenses, and at the same time quickly recruited soldiers.

Chutian sent Li Kui to guard Xiapi, so he trusted Li Kui's ability.

"This time, the Governor of Jiujiang has an elite division called the White Pao Army. They are brave and good at fighting. They can only defend the city and cannot confront them."

Li Kui guarded Xiapi and focused on defense. As long as they do not encounter the white robe army outside the city, it is not easy for the white robe army to capture Xiapi.

"No need to defend, we'll go out of town to fight."

A voice sounded, and Li Kui got up in a conditioned reflex: "My lord."

Chu Tian brought two heroes, Joan of Arc and Zheng Zhilong, to Xiapi using the teleportation array, and met Li Kui who was defending Xiapi.

Li Kui said: "Since the lord can come forward, it means that Taishan County has been won, congratulations to the lord."

"There should be a lot of talents in Xiapi. When governing Xiapi, in addition to reclaiming farmland and prospering the market, we should also pay attention to arresting talents."

Facing the attack of Jiujiang troops and horses, Chu Tian was not worried, but instructed Li Kui to continue to govern the country of Xiapi with peace of mind.

Li Kui replied: "There are indeed many tyrants in Xiapi. There is a tyrant named Lu in the southernmost Dongcheng County. His subordinates were about to go to recruit them. Unexpectedly, Jiujiang troops attacked, so this matter had to be put on hold for the time being."

surname Lu...

Is it Lu Su?

Chu Tian made a note in his heart. It seems that Lu Su and Zhou Yu have not yet established a relationship, so they can dig Lu Su over.

As for Zhou Yu in Lujiang County, Chu Tian did not believe that Tongque, the prefect of Lujiang, would let Zhou Yu go. If Tongque chose to develop in Lujiang County, it was very likely that he would rob Zhou Yu.

Once Tongque has Beifu Army and Zhou Yu,

He is almost invincible in water battles.

"Always pay attention to the movements of Jiujiang County's troops and horses. As long as Jiujiang County's troops and horses arrive, we will go out of the city to fight."

Chutian dispatched 9,000 troops from the Five Schools of the Northern Army, and 4,000 cavalrymen of the Servant Army from Taishan County to Xiapi Country, consuming a total of 65,000 taels of silver.

Although the amount of silver consumed is staggering, it can save a lot of marching time. The food and forage consumed during the march is equally astonishing, so the cost of using the teleportation array is acceptable.

"The lord ordered us to go down the river, and call the 5,000 Women's Army to go south to Xiapi, leaving only the 1,000 Women's Army and Xiacheng's city defense troops to defend the city."

Xia Tianliang and Li Xiuning received orders from Chutian to lead the 5,000 Women's Army and use the Yihe Marine Division to reach Xiapi in a few days, so there is no need to use the teleportation array...

The forces of both sides began to build up with Xipi as the center.

...

Dongcheng County, a manor, has a population of several thousand, hundreds of townships, and several granaries. Because the Lu family gathered the surrounding villagers and villagers to protect the environment and the people, the damage to the manor by the robbers was very small, comparable to a paradise. There are countless similar manors in troubled times. In troubled times, there is no government to rely on, so the villagers have to rely on the tyrants, and under the armed forces of the tyrants, they protect themselves.

"Sir, I heard that Xiapi City is recruiting soldiers and horses, and it seems that they are going to fight with the Jiujiang prefect. It is really disturbing that the soldiers are in chaos these days."

A servant came to see their son.

Lu Su, who was only seventeen years old, was practicing his countrymanship. When he heard the news, he thought for a moment: "Xuzhou Mu is at war with the princes of the four directions, and has no time to divide his troops. It can be reused by Xuzhou Muzhi."

Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou became famous, and Lu Su, who was not yet famous at this time, tried to recommend himself to Xuzhou Mu, instead of Chu Tian bowing his head and begging him.

The princes are looking for suitable subordinates, and the gentry of various counties are also looking for suitable princes to invest in. Once the investment is correct, it can crack the earth and seal the monarchy and shine on the lintel. This so-called good bird chooses wood to perch.

Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou issued a decree of seeking talents, coupled with Chu Zimou's aristocratic family background, it has become one of the priority targets for the nobles in various counties and counties to seek refuge.

"Master, behind the Jiujiang prefect is Yuan Gonggong. His influence spreads across Yuzhou, Huainan, Nanyang and other places. If the son supports Xuzhou Mu, he may anger Yuan Gonggong."

"Yuan Gonggong is just a dead bone in the tomb, nothing to be afraid of. I personally think that Xuzhou Mu is better than ten. If it can be reused by Xuzhou Mu, our Lu family in Dongcheng can have no worries about food and clothing for ten generations. I have made up my mind. , if there is Xiangyong in the manor to go with me, it is naturally the best, if not, it is not reluctant."

Lu Su put the book down and weighed his shield at the same time, planning to fight with horses.

Seeing that Lu Su was determined, the servant had no choice but to go down.

This son of them doesn't take care of the family affairs at all, instead, he uses his righteousness to save money and buy weapons and shields to equip the villagers. If it goes on like this, the huge family will be completely destroyed.

Lu Su was always kind to the villagers. When he heard that Lu Su was going to support Xuzhou Mu, most of the villagers in the manor responded. They gathered 700 people and followed Lu Su to Xiapi.

Lu Su saw the support of his acquaintances and elders, and couldn't help sighing: "You may die in this battle."

Numerous villagers replied: "In the past, I received the kindness of the son, but I couldn't repay it, I should repay it with death!"

Lu Su couldn't help being touched, and he resolutely led the seven hundred townships to the north.

In the northern part of Langya, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun and Zhao Gongzi confronted each other. Xue Rengui tried to send cavalry to cut off Zhao Gongzi's food route, but Zhao Gongzi had been prepared for this and used more troops to protect the food route.

Zhao Gongzi of Beihai is second only to Cao Cao of Dongjun among the enemies around Chutian.

Yuan Shu was big but not strong, and Zhao Gongzi was suppressed by the same speed as Cao Cao because of the containment of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou.

"If I had already occupied Qingzhou at this time, I wouldn't be so laborious."

Zhao Gongzi currently only has half of Qingzhou.

"General Guan Hai recruited 80,000 Yellow Turbans to come and help!"

"Eighty thousand should be enough."

Zhao Gongzi originally planned to recruit 100,000 Yellow Turbans to make up the numbers, but Guan Hai only recruited 80,000 Yellow Turbans. After all, a lot of the population of Beihai Kingdom was plundered.

The few remaining Yellow Turban generals, Guan Hai, led 60,000 Yellow Turbans to appear under Zhucheng City, and the whole city was full of Yellow Turbans!

"80,000 Yellow Turbans were used to attack the city, and 70,000 professional soldiers forced the opposing cavalry to fight."

Zhao Gongzi assembled 150,000 people in the Zhucheng area, and only 70,000 professional soldiers. His tactics are very simple, all the way to attack the city, all the way to expel Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun's white robe army. The White Pao Legion currently has less than 25,000 cavalry troops, and faced with the multi-armed legions that Zhao Gongzi cooperated with each other, they did not attack easily.

"There are more and more enemies..."

Zang Ba and Sun Guan were on the city wall and saw the yellow turban army. There are not many defenders in their city, and it is really enough to face the 80,000 Yellow Turbans.

Guan Hai is not an ordinary military general, he is regarded as a fierce general in the Yellow Turban Army.

Sun Guan faced the crowd of Yellow Turbans and had the intention of retreating: "Obviously, Young Master Zhao intends to use the Yellow Turbans as cannon fodder to forcibly capture this city. If we can't defend it, we should prepare to retreat. We have already defended this city. long enough."

"It's just a group of Yellow Turbans, why fear it!"

Zang Ba was not afraid of the Yellow Turbans, but his fighting spirit was even more high.

After Zhao Gongzi had assembled enough troops, 70,000 professional soldiers advanced forward, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun retreated four miles to avoid Zhao Gongzi's army.

The Yellow Turban Army took the opportunity to surround Zhucheng, and prepared siege equipment to forcibly attack Zhucheng.

The Yellow Turban Army originally lacked siege equipment, but when Taishi Ci attacked Zhucheng before, Taishi Ci had urged many craftsmen to build a batch of siege equipment.

The 80,000 Yellow Turbans had sufficient manpower to operate these siege weapons.

Hundreds of trebuchets were ready, and the Yellow Turbans gathered enough stones from the nearby hills to attack the city defended by Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

If it was just a pure Yellow Turban Army, it might be lackluster, but in the hands of Zhao Gongzi, the Yellow Turban Army became a powerful trump card.

After the Yellow Turban Army was busy preparing, hundreds of trebuchets threw stones at Zhucheng, and the stones weighing more than 20 kilograms roared, destroying the battlements, city gate towers, and arrow towers!

The double-bow crossbow was also used by the Yellow Turbans to siege the city. Intensive arrows were fired, and the arrows pierced the air and made a sharp noise!

The few defenders in the city hurriedly dodged stones and crossbow arrows. Even if the shield was hit by a stone, it would knock down the soldiers hiding behind the shield!

A battlement was destroyed by a stone, and the soldiers leaning against the wall were wounded by the rubble, and fell to the ground screaming in pain!

"Take him down!"

Zang Ba urged the soldiers to risk the attack of the trebuchets to rescue the wounded. The threat posed by the Yellow Turbans with a large number of siege equipment was greater than the threat posed by the previous Yellow Turbans!

"The Yellow Turbans have attacked the city!"

When the defenders were crushed by catapults and crossbows, the Yellow Turban archers approached the city wall under the cover of chariots. The archers defending the city shot at the attacking Yellow Turbans, and the arrows fell on the chariots draped in cowhide, unable to kill the Yellow Turban archers.

When the Yellow Turban archers arrived at the bottom of the city, they emerged from the rear of the chariot and shot at the defenders of the city wall.

"Use a crossbow!"

In order to defend the city, Zang Ba and Sun Guan placed many double-bow crossbows in the city.

The soldiers holding the sledgehammer hammered the crossbow, and the thick arrows shot out. The Yellow Turbans were as weak as paper, pierced by the arrows, and nailed to the ground!

However, for the 80,000 Yellow Turbans who were injured by crossbow arrows, the casualties were almost negligible.

"You can't stop my 80,000 people!"

Guan Hai, a general of the Yellow Turbans who was recruited, carried a large sword and commanded 80,000 Yellow Turbans to attack the city.

The advantage of the Yellow Turbans lies in the number of people, and quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes!

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun could hear the screams of killing. They were coerced by Zhao Gongzi and had to save Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan have been defending the city for a long time, and the materials for defending the city have been exhausted. If they do not clear the siege, the cities will fall, and Juxian and Kaiyang County are difficult to defend.

"It seems that we can only have a decisive battle with Zhao Gongzi, and I don't know if we can win. Our troops are at a disadvantage, and we have no infantry and archers to support."

"Zhucheng has to be rescued, and can only take a risk."

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun discussed briefly, and finally decided to take a risk.

Zhao Gongzi can survive the catastrophe of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, and occupy half of Qingzhou. His ability is definitely not weak. He can force Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun to fight, which is the embodiment of his ability.

"Two generals, General Hua Mulan's war eagle!"

A white horse pointed to the air from the cavalry, and saw a black war eagle hovering in the air.

"Our reinforcements will arrive soon, but we can fight with Young Master Zhao!"

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun knew that the war eagle was often accompanied by Hua Mulan's iron eagle scouts. Once the war eagle appeared, then the iron eagle scout cavalry and a larger army were coming.

In other words, they can now fight to the death with Zhao Gongzi.

The war eagle landed on Xue Rengui's warhorse, and the war eagle's claws were still tied to copper pipes, with a note stuffed inside.

More than 20,000 cavalrymen continued to retreat two miles, and finally had to form a formation, making a posture of being forced to fight.

Zhao Gongzi used Dorgon, Wu Sangui, Taishi Ci, and Xue Wanche as generals and deployed 70,000 troops.

"Chu Zimou has occupied Taishan County, and he can only defeat Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun as soon as possible."

Zhao Gongzi placed the infantry in the middle, the cavalry on the left and right flanks, the Eight Banners cavalry and the Guanning cavalry on each side.

Zhao Gongzi personally commanded the infantry, Taishi Ci commanded the archers, and Xue Wanche commanded some cavalry as a reserve.

There were only Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun on the opposite side. As long as the 70,000-strong army launched a charge with death, Master Zhao believed that the opponent's cavalry would soon be destroyed.

The cavalry, lacking the cover of infantry and archers, was difficult to exert its power in the surrounding hilly terrain.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun had to fight decisively, and the balance of the war fell to Zhao Gongzi's side.

"Chu Zimou, I'm sorry, only one person can succeed in the competition in the Central Plains, we have no choice."

Zhao Gongzi pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed at Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's cavalry: "Attack with the whole army and overwhelm the enemy!"
