In Yingling County, 200,000 villagers have basically arrived, and under the restraint of Le Yi, they will attack the city that Taishi Ci is defending with all their strength!

The number of trebuchets increased from 100 to 300, and the attack range covered all the city walls of Yingling County!

Once Chutian has the determination to attack, unless there is a legendary defender of the city, no city can withstand the attack of a 200,000-strong army at any cost.

With three hundred trebuchets, there were as many as 30,000 villagers, not including the villagers who dig stones.

The moat in Yingling County was filled in, and almost all the fortifications were destroyed by trebuchets. Taishi Ci organized the defenders to continue strengthening the city wall, but had to endure the heavy bombardment of the trebuchets.

Not only the trebuchets, but under the arrangement of Le Yi, a large number of village braves dug tunnels, trying to make the city wall collapse, and the soldiers attacked Yingling every day, which made Taishi Ci miserable.

As a famous city siege general, Le Yi can only be resisted by Tiandan-level defending famous generals!

Taishi Ci, who insisted on the lonely city, struggled to support Le Yi, who had 40,000 professional soldiers and 200,000 villagers.

After the trebuchet destroyed each arrow tower, Le Yi began to attack!

Taishi Ci's eyeballs were bloodshot, and facing Le Yi's continuous attacks, he had not rested for several days.

"pull!"

Under the command of the lower-level officers, the perspiring villagers pulled the ropes of the catapult together, three hundred catapults made a show of power, and hundreds of stones weighing more than 20 kilograms fell like meteorites!

"kill!"

The 100,000 Xiangyong was divided into five phalanxes, using simple ladders to attack Yingling County under the cover of the siege tower!

Yingling County is like a reef in the sea, constantly being attacked by the villagers!

As the main siege general, Le Yi can receive his bonus for 100,000 villagers. This is also the terrifying part of Le Yi. Ordinary generals commanding tens of thousands of people is already quite difficult, but now Le Yi, commanding 100,000 Xiangyong, is more than enough.

In the face of rural bravery with the bonus of Leyi, the defenders continued to die in the battle of defending the city.

Xiangyong suffered more casualties, but in order to attack Yingling as soon as possible, Le Yi looked at Xiangyong who was dying in battle indifferently.

Once it will be done, the bones will die.

boom! ! !

One of the walls actually collapsed!

The earth shook, the city walls collapsed, and many guards who were caught off guard were killed!

Le Yi used trebuchets and a large number of rural braves to attack the city to attract the attention of the defenders, but secretly dispatched soldiers to dig tunnels, which had an effect, causing a section of the city wall to collapse.

"Yanjia stepped forward and grabbed the gap!"

"General Zhao Yun, I also ask you to follow Yan Jia to act together."

Without a solid city wall as a barrier, Yingling is almost safe to defend!

Under the command of Le Yi, the fully armored Yanjia soldier fought bravely to fight for the gap. The fierce general Zhao Yun was sent to the battlefield by Le Yi to strengthen Yan Jia's combat power.

"The gap between me and him is too big..."

Taishi Ci defended the city and found that he was no match for Le Yi, and Le Yi had far more troops than the defenders. Chutian handed over a large number of strong men from Beihai to Le Yi's command.

Taishi Ci held a bow and led a team of archers to plug the gap and make a final effort.

And what he has to face is Zhao Yun, and Yan Jia of the seventh rank.

"Le Yi claimed that Yingling could be captured within fifteen days,

There are only three days left. "

In Beihai Guoju County, Chutian waited for Le Yi to break through Yingling County before returning to Langya.

During this time, he included Beihai Kingdom's surrender, re-appointed a group of officials, and let Beihai Kingdom change its flag. At the same time, scouts were widely distributed to guard the state of Qi.

"Beihai Kingdom, Le Yi will serve as the prefect, and take offense instead of defense."

Le Yi's commander-in-chief, resourcefulness, and political attributes are very high, and he can be completely independent. Le Yi is also a military minister rarely established in Chutian. He is the governor of Beihai Kingdom's internal affairs and military affairs. He not only has to face the pressure from the four counties of Qingzhou, but also manages Beihai Kingdom and restores prosperity to the war-torn Beihai Kingdom.

In addition to Le Yi's offensive corps, Chutian formed Beihai Defense Corps with 30,000 troops. The Beihai Defense Corps of 30,000 and the Offensive Corps of 40,000, a total of 70,000, were stationed in Juxian, peeping at Qi, and at the same time suppressing the rebellion in Beihai.

"After many wars, Beihai Kingdom has a smaller population. Fortunately, the population of the two counties of Qi Kingdom was moved to Beihai Kingdom. Only then did Beihai Kingdom get better."

Chu Tian counted the population of Beihai Kingdom. The population was smaller than that of any county in Xuzhou, so the number of high-level troops that Zhao Gongzi could recruit was limited.

Chen Qingzhi was taken as a prisoner, because he couldn't even beat the small soldiers. Chutian only arranged a few soldiers to guard Chen Qingzhi, and it was difficult for Chen Qingzhi to escape.

He paced from time to time.

Now he is an unowned general in the field.

Because Tian Dan was guarding Linzi, Xuzhou Mu's crusade against Qingzhou was forced to come to an end, and Chen Qingzhi also needed to decide whether to stay or go.

He wanted to seek revenge from Hou Jing, but Hou Jing had a city and a large number of troops, and Chen Qingzhi could not succeed in revenge with his own strength.

unless……

"You want to take refuge in Xuzhou Mu?"

Cao Gui, who was also a prisoner, guessed what Chen Qingzhi was thinking.

"Except for Xuzhou Mu, I'm afraid no one can borrow soldiers to avenge me."

Chen Qingzhi hesitated again and again.

His hesitation was that the prefect of Jiujiang was also indirectly hurt by Chutian.

"Good birds choose wood to perch, there is nothing to hesitate."

Cao Gui's attitude was also a little shaken.

The situation of the separatist rulers of the Eastern Han Dynasty has been formed, neither the governor of Taishan County nor the governor of Jiujiang County have the opportunity to compete in the Central Plains.

Chen Qingzhi was influenced by Cao Gui and finally made up his mind.

He took the initiative to come to visit Chutian.

Chu Tian was about to return to Langya and asked, "Ziyun, what's the matter with you?"

Chen Qingzhi said: "I want to borrow 7,000 cavalry from Lord Zhou Mu to break Hou Jing, in order to repay the old master's kindness."

"Hou Jing occupied Shouchun and dominated Huainan. With only seven thousand cavalry, can you defeat Hou Jing?"

Chutian doubted whether Chen Qingzhi could capture Shouchun.

Although Chen Qingzhi should be a good cavalry commander, but after all, he is only 7,000 cavalry. In the Huainan area, the role of cavalry was limited to a certain extent, not to mention that it was difficult for cavalry to attack the city.

Chen Qingzhi said firmly: "Seven thousand white robes can break Hou Jing."

"If you want to borrow seven thousand white robes from me, you must first serve me..."

"Ding! The commander-in-chief of the king-level cavalry, Chen Qingzhi, is loyal to you."

Before Chu Tian finished speaking, Chen Qingzhi took the initiative to pledge his allegiance. During this period, Chen Qingzhi has basically recognized Chutian's ability and charm, and believes that it is worth taking refuge in.

Chu Tian checked Chen Qingzhi's panel.

【Name】: Chen Qingzhi

[Talent]: King-level Commander (Cavalry)

[Level]: 47

[Identity]: General Nanliang from a humble family

【Age】: 40

【Loyalty】: 75

[Commander]: 92 (up to 95)

[Army]: 13 (up to 15)

[Intelligence]: 85 (up to 88)

[Politics]: 70 (up to 75)

【Charm】: 80

【Aspect】: calm

[Favorability]: 67

[Characteristic 1]: Thousands of troops avoid the white robes (SS-level exclusive feature, when commanding the white robe army, the white robe army attack power +30%, when the white robe army charges, the enemy's morale drop speed +20%, there are Chance to panic; when commanding other cavalry, the effect is halved)

[Characteristic 2]: Soldier Mortal Strength (S-level characteristics, troop morale decline rate -15%, attack power +10%)

[Special Arms]: White Robe Army (seventh-order light cavalry/light infantry, capped at 7,000)

*Chen Qingzhi's record is controversial, and the setting in this book shall prevail, and his ability is mainly to strengthen the white robe army.

Chutian rarely sees a cavalry commander, and he is a cavalry general with a maximum force of only 15...

Chu Tian suspected that a high-ranking soldier could kill Chen Qingzhi.

Just be more confident, no doubts.

Chen Qingzhi's commander could almost enter the ranks of the imperial commander.

"Lord" has stricter requirements for the commander. Even a 95-year-old commander is already rare, second only to Le Yi. He is worthy of the nursery rhyme of "Famous teachers and generals do not go to prison, thousands of troops avoid white robes".

Chen Qingzhi also has very few characteristics, there are only two, the two characteristics are superimposed, but they can bring a 40% attack power bonus to the white robe army, as well as other beneficial effects!

If you give Chen Qingzhi other cavalry, the effect of the feature of "Thousands of Horses Avoiding White Robes" will be halved.

In other words, Chen Qingzhi commanded the White Pao Army, and the White Pao Army was extremely powerful!

If Chen Qingzhi commanded other cavalry, then the combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

Commanding different arms, Chen Qingzhi's actual combat capabilities are also different. With seven thousand white robes, the actual combat power of Chen Qingzhi's army is not much different from that of the emperor-level commander. It seems that Chen Qingzhi and Bai Pao Jun are firmly bound together.

In order for Chen Qingzhi to exert his greatest ability, he must recruit seven thousand white robes for him.

The White Pao Army is a special arm of the seventh rank, and it is also a dual arm of infantry and cavalry!

The white-robed army can mount a horse and shoot a charge, and when dismounting, it can attack the city and pull out the village.

No wonder Chen Qingzhi thought that seven thousand white robes could break Hou Jing.

With Chen Qingzhi's terrifying bonus to the White Pao Army, defeating Hou Jing does not seem to be difficult.

"With Ziyun serving, the career can be accomplished."

Chutian, like recruiting talents in the past, said a polite word.

Since Chen Qingzhi has taken refuge in Chutian, he is not polite: "If the lord is willing to lend me seven thousand white robes to kill Hou Jing, then the lord will be willing to die."

"It will be a matter of time to recruit seven thousand white robes for you, and Shouchun is also in my pocket."

Chu Tian thought of buying 7,000 horses for Chen Qingzhi's 7,000 white-robed troops, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

As the seventh-order light cavalry, the White Pao Army must use excellent war horses. Buying 7,000 excellent war horses often requires hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

High-level cavalry also need sophisticated equipment.

These costs are staggering.

Chen Qingzhi wanted to kill Hou Jing, and Chu Tian wanted to occupy Shouchun. There was no conflict between the two sides.

If you want to guard against threats from the south of the Yangtze River, you must control Shouchun and Guangling. As long as Shouchun and Guangling are in hand, Chutian can focus on the crusade against the princes in the north.

"how much time is required?"

"I can't guarantee it. But even if there are no seven thousand white robes, I will mobilize the army and completely pacify Shouchun."

Chu Tian knew that Chen Qingzhi only wanted revenge, and without the seven thousand white robes, Chu Tian thought it would not be too difficult to pacify the Hou Jing rebellion.

He took the initiative to contact Prince Yan of Western Liaoning.

There are two main sources of excellent war horses in Xuzhou, one is Xu Fengnian, the lord of Longxi, and the other is Prince Yan, the lord of western Liaoning. At present, most of the war horses for heavy cavalry purchased by Chutian are from Longxi, and the war horses for light cavalry are from western Liaoning.

Chutian planned to buy the horses for the seven thousand white robe army from Prince Yan, the lord of western Liaoning. The war horse of Zhao Yun's white robe righteous servant came from western Liaoning.

Prince Yan quickly replied: "My situation is very difficult. Mingguan has occupied a lot of my horse farms. Unfortunately, the mutual market treaty between us may end soon. However, maybe I can sell it to you for the last time. A group of war horses."

Chutian knew that Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan were defeated by Mingguan in the Battle of Western Liaoning, lost a lot of territory, and their power was not as strong as before.

It's just that Prince Yan's situation is worse than he imagined.

The friendship between Prince Yan and Chutian was good, but Mingguan regarded Chutian as a strong enemy. If Mingguan controlled the horse production areas in Liaodong and Liaoxi, it would not necessarily sell horses to Chutian.

Selling horses to Chutian in Mingguan is equivalent to strengthening Chutian's strength.

In other words, after Chutian lost a horse market, only one horse market was left in Longxi.

If Longxi's racecourse also falls...

Chu Tian couldn't imagine the consequences.

Without good horses, it will be much more difficult to form high-level cavalry in the future. The number of fine war horses produced by Xuzhou is limited.

"I really can't stop Mingguan. You can use the teleportation array to escape to me. If it's less than 10 taels of silver, you shouldn't be able to take it out, right?"

Chu Tian knew that Prince Yan had famous generals Fan Zhongyan, Di Qing, and his sworn brother Gongsun Zan, so he encouraged Prince Yan to come to him.

When Prince Yan came, he would naturally bring along a group of civil servants and generals, and when the time came to incorporate them, Chutian's power would undoubtedly rise to a higher level.

"If I really can't get along, I will definitely go to Xuzhou to rely on you, but not now. I can still persist."

Prince Yan was obviously unwilling to lose to Mingguan like this, and was still trying to reverse the situation.

Regarding the situation of Prince Yan, Chutian had nothing to do, because Western Liaoning was outside the customs and was quite a distance from Chutian's territory.

Simply discussing the purchase of war horses with Prince Yan, Prince Yan actually took the initiative to lower the price and gave Chutian a batch of excellent war horses.

The reason why Prince Yan sold the excellent war horses at a low price is also very simple. First, he urgently needed a batch of gold and silver in order to continue the war with Mingguan; secondly, Prince Yan seemed to have no confidence in defeating Mingguan. Before Ma Di was completely lost, he simply sold Chutian a favor.

"Report! General Le Yi has attacked Yingling County, and General Zhao Yun and Yan Jia have captured General Taishi Ci alive!"

Chutian received the battle report from Yingling County.

When Le Yi had 200,000 village braves to drive, as he promised, in just 12 days, Le Yi had already broken the city!

"Bring Taishi Ci back to Langya."

Chutian's offensive in Qingzhou was blocked, so he changed the direction of the attack.

There is no need for him to bite the bullet and attack the fortified city defended by the defender Tian Dan.

"Let Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng's Fubo Army continue to attack Donglai County, and send Kong Rong and Wu'anguo to Langya Country." Chu Tian thought that there were still two prisoners to deal with, "Kong Rong has always been arrogant, this time he will Kong Rong brought it to Xiacheng and asked Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong and others to teach Kong Rong a good lesson and let him know what modesty is."
