The monstrous fire was churning, the fire was spreading, and the scorching flames distorted the air.

The area of ​​Bowangpo was destroyed by the fire. Thousands of soldiers and horses of Guo Ziyi's Shuofang army were devoured by the fire, crying everywhere.

Wei Wuji himself took the lead, with Pang Juan as the vanguard general, leading Wei Wu's pawns, and taking advantage of the fire to attack Guo Ziyi's Shuofang army.

Shuofang's army was more numerous, but not as elite as Wei Wu's army.

Wei Wu's soldiers held shields and wore three layers of armor, and fought hand-to-hand with the Shuo Fang army, killing and wounding the Shuo Fang army in large numbers, resulting in heavy casualties for the Shuo Fang army.

As a high-level heavy armored infantry, Wei Wuzu has always been one of Chutian's ace troops.

In the past, only Pang Juan was the only one in the military army to support the overall situation.

Because Wei Wuji is the main general, Pang Juan doesn't need to be distracted to command other troops, he only needs to lead Wei Wuzun to break the formation!

Li Ling led a team of Jing-Chu warriors in the rear, providing cover for Wei Wu's soldiers with crossbow arrows.

As a descendant of Li Guang, Li Ling's crossbow bonus to the troops is also quite considerable. In addition, the Jingchu warriors are sixth-order light infantry/crossbowmen, and they shoot violently, which aggravates the casualties of the Shuofang army.

The tiger idiot Xu Chu served as the bodyguard of the Tang Dynasty, and only Qin Qiong helped Guo Ziyi.

Pang Juan did not come forward to fight Qin Qiong, but commanded Wei Wu's soldiers to attack, and separated hundreds of Wei Wu's soldiers to besiege Qin Qiong.

The Wei Wuzun with Pang Juan's bonus is not as good as the Wei Wuzun who has the bonus of Wu Qi, but he has not weak combat power. Hundreds of Wei Wu pawns surrounded Qin Qiong, with three floors inside and three floors outside. Wei Wu pawns on the inner third floor held halberds to form a spear forest, and Wei Wu pawns on the outer three floors held infantry crossbows and shot at Qin Qiong.

Since the battle of Yuzhou, Qin Qiong's black armored cavalry was completely wiped out, Qin Qiong's threat has been reduced.

No matter how high Qin Qiong's personal force is, if he does not retreat in time, he will be consumed by a large number of Wei Wu soldiers.

A hundred Wei Wu pawns are not enough to kill?

That's a thousand.

Killing a thousand Wei Wu pawns and killing a thousand low-level infantry are two completely different concepts.

Xiahou Dun and Li Dian led the army to defend the army,

He fought fiercely with King Li Daozong of Jiangxia.

Xiahou Dun rushed into the enemy line with a spear and killed dozens of people with a spear. He wanted to capture Li Daozong alive, but was forced back by hundreds of crossbowmen beside Li Daozong.

Li Daozong also has a special army like Xue Rengui, the Tang Dynasty Archers.

If Xiahou Dun dared to kill him, the crossbowmen would fire in salvo, and then the cavalry would go up to harvest, perhaps Xiahou Dun would be captured alive instead.

"The fire intensifies, retreat immediately!"

It was said that Tang was blocked by the fire, and seeing that each legion was fighting separately, he knew that it was not good, so he ordered each legion to retreat to the rear.

Otherwise, the fire continued to spread, saying that Tang's army might be surrounded and wiped out at Bowangpo.

Their respective troops fought and retreated. Qin Qiong, at the cost of injury, stabbed to death more than 30 Wei Wu soldiers and broke through the siege.

In order to resist and inflict heavy damage on the remnants of the Yuzhou army of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Jia, the military commander of the Wuzu Corps, proposed to burn Bowangpo to block the offensive of the Tang Dynasty, forcing the Tang Dynasty to retreat to the south of the Xia Road in Fangcheng.

Wei Wuji and Guo Jia, on the other hand, had enough time to rectify their troops and deploy their defenses at Bowang.

Wen, the prefect of Runan, personally led a team of troops to come to support and strengthen Wei Wuji's army.

It is said that the remnants of the Yuzhou army of Tang Dynasty and some Jingzhou army returned to the territory belonging to the Nanyang Basin, and counted the losses. About 10,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and everyone's faces were blackened by the smoke from the fire.

Qin Qiong was injured and said that Tang rushed to get him healed.

Since seeing Cheng Yaojin being captured by Chu Tian, ​​he said that Qin Qiong was the only one left in Tang to command the Xuanjia Army. Losing Qin Qiong, the Xuanjia Army of the ninth-order cavalry would be out of luck with Tang.

"This plan hurts Heaven and Harmony. The person who proposes this plan may lose his life."

Wei Zheng followed and said that Tang went on an expedition to Bowang and saw the huge fire that spread to the camp. He couldn't help feeling the horror of the strategy of burning Bowang.

Because of the fire, it was said that Tang's army was in a mess, fighting each other, and that Tang was blocked by the fire and could not support Guo Ziyi in time, resulting in a lot of losses for Guo Ziyi's Shuofang army.

Said Tang helplessly said: "Most of the fire of Bowangpo came from the hands of his military advisor Guo Jia. But this Guo Jia is not a longevity person, so he shouldn't care about his longevity."

It is said that Tang naturally knew the existence of Guo Jia, and the opponent's military pawn corps was matched with a military division, which made the military pawn army's combat power directly to a higher level.

The fire in Bowangpo is expected to burn for a while longer, and Tang said that he can't tell when the fire spreading in Bowangpo will stop.

Before the fire at Bowangpo subsided, it was said that Tang's army could no longer march on the Central Plains.

There was a military army blocking the way, saying that Tang could not even get out of the Nanyang Basin.

"Yang Shilang doesn't come to attack the Central Plains, what is he doing?"

At this time, Shuotang, who was located south of Bowangpo, was dissatisfied with Yang Shilang, who actually controlled Jingzhou.

From Tang’s point of view, Chutian’s main force is in Hebei, which is the right time to recover Yuzhou, but Yang Shilang seems to have no intention of drinking, and has no intention of attacking the Central Plains. Tang attacked the Central Plains alone, and regarded Tang as a night watchman guarding the northern gate of Jingzhou.

Jiangling, there are tens of millions of acres of fertile land and a large population.

Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Liu Pan, Huang Zhong and other generals gathered, and Yang Shilang came in person to gather his troops.

The target of this attack is neither the Central Plains nor Jiangdong, but Yizhou!

What was lost in Chutian, Yang Shilang wanted to get it back from Yizhou.

There are many talents in Yizhou, but there is a lack of independent commanders. In the face of Zhang Dao's continuous offensive in Hanzhong, Liu Yan is ill. For Yang Shilang, there is no better time to annex Yizhou and occupy Yizhou. For own.

Yizhou is a land of abundance. As long as it is managed properly and with the development speed of the territory in "Lord", the Chengdu Plain can quickly become a rich grain-producing area, even if it feeds tens of millions of people, it will not be a problem.

"All the legions are ready. This time, 200,000 troops from Jingnan and Jingbei, and 5,000 warships and fishing boats will be used. As long as the lord gives an order, they can go upstream and attack Bashu."

Han Shizhong, who is currently the general of Yang Shilang, reports to Yang Shilang.

"Gan Ning of Bashu has agreed to assist us in attacking Shu County. He will lead his fleet to meet us in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and at the same time provide some food for our army, so our food pressure will not be too great due to the expedition. "

"With Gan Ning clearing the way for us, and with the topographic map of Bashu, it will take a year to pacify Yizhou except for Hanzhong. At that time, Wu Jie will be the main general, go out to Hanzhong, and incorporate Hanzhong into the territory, and then dominate Jingzhou and Yizhou. The state has a larger territory than Shuhan, and if you enter it, you can compete with the Central Plains, and if you retreat, you can divide the world into three parts.”

Before Yang Shilang's crusade against Yizhou, he repeatedly confirmed that his strategy was not biased.

Xu Shu, Cai Mao and others came to Yizhou to say goodbye: "My lord, please do your best to attack Liu Yan in Yizhou. Liu Yan is not too much, but he can be easily defeated. I will guard Xiangyang for the lord to prevent Nanyang from saying that Tang is taking advantage of Xiangyang's emptiness. , attacked Xiangyang."

"If Yuan Zhi is here, I can be worry-free. Most of the troops used in this crusade against Liu Yan in Yizhou were soldiers and horses from Jingnan and Jiangling. As for the troops and horses in Xiangyang and Fancheng, they did not move at all. It is impossible for Tang Dynasty. Capture Xiangyang."

Yang Shilang explained to Xu Shu, then turned around and glanced at Han Shizhong, Wu Jie and others who were present: "In this battle, please do your best. If you can pacify Bashu within a year, you can conquer the world, and in the future Expect!"

Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Pan Mei, Cao Bin and other generals all replied, "You must go all out!"

200,000 troops were mobilized, and 5,000 large and small ships filled the river and marched upward.

In order to annex Yizhou as soon as possible, Yang Shilang invested almost all the ships, and at the same time forced the fishing boats along the Yangtze River to transport troops.

Gan Ning, a tyrant in Ba County, gathered his troops in secret, and wooed officials, tyrants, and bandits who were dissatisfied with Liu Yan in Ba County, and agreed to act in secret.

Gan Ning is known as the "Jinfan Thief" in Berkshire. When he was young, he led a team of rangers and attacked others everywhere, so he was very rich and extravagant.

Gan Ning began to befriend officials from various cities and towns in Ba County very early. If these officials warmly received him, they would befriend him; otherwise, Gan Ning would be robbed or even killed.

This is Gan Ning's way of life.

But now Gan Ning has restrained a lot, no longer attacking others, but began to study hundreds of schools of thought, became a local official, and wanted to make a difference.

At this time, Yang Shilang approached Gan Ning in the name of the imperial clan, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and promised him the positions of the governor of Ba County and the general of the miscellaneous number, and Gan Ning was the main general to compete for the world.

Gan Ning was quite tempted, and thought that it would make a difference to join Yang Shilang.

With Gan Ning's chivalrous character, whoever treats him well, he will devote allegiance to him.

Liu Yan's kindness to him was limited, or even no kindness, and Gan Ning could not talk about loyalty.

...

Yecheng, just like Sun Jian's attack on Hefei, Le Yi's attack on Yecheng was also blocked.

Yecheng's fortifications were stronger than Hefei's, and there was no heavy rain to destroy the offensive, so Le Yi could only attack.

Hefei is currently only a medium-sized city, while Ye City is a huge city with a population of one million. Gao Jong and Shen Pei recruited troops in the city. When the number of Ye City defenders was the highest, it reached an astonishing 80,000.

Since Yecheng recruited new soldiers, during the battle of defending the city, they suffered a lot of losses and the number dropped again.

Le Yi's siege troops suffered heavy losses, of which only half of the 40,000 offensive troops remained.

Liu Bei's army received supplies in Handan, and Guan Yu's injury recovered, ready to go south again.

Huma in Taiyuan asked Chutian for help again and again, but Chutian could not divide his troops to Taiyuan.

From Yecheng to Taiyuan, there are two roads that Chutian can choose. One is to pass through Fukou and cross Taihang Mountain, and the back road will be cut off by Liu Bei.

Or, via Shangdang County, to Taiyuan.

This route is equally dangerous.

Hanoi County and Hedong County are in the hands of Jijie Lao Qin, while Shangdang County surrenders to Zhao Long. Once Chutian enters Shangdang County, Jijie Lao Qin deploys the defenders to defend Hanoi County and Hedong County. Zhao Long encircled.

Chutian can mobilize several generals from the Hebei battlefield to support Hefei. In theory, Jiujiu Lao Qin can also send one or two commanders to arrive at Hedong from the Xiliang battlefield, and lead the troops of Hedong to cut off Chutian's back road.

When the Leyi Corps was unable to attack, Xia Xia Liang suggested: "It is better to attack than to encircle, but to dig the encirclement, break the Zhangshui, and flood the city of Ye."

"The water attacked Yecheng..."

Chutian pointed to the location of Zhangshui on the map. Zhangshui was just on the edge of Yecheng. It was absolutely possible to send soldiers and Xiangyong to dig trenches and lead them to Yecheng.

The water in Hefei has skyrocketed, and the water level in Zhangshui has also begun to rise, and it has reached the flood season.

Xia Xia Liang's idea should come from the historical battle of Cao Cao against Yuan Shang.

Chutian chose to attack Yecheng this season and had a similar idea.

"Destroy all the mountains and tunnels, forming a ditch overnight. The four tigers of the northern army, led the villagers, went to dig the trench. The white robe army, to guard against the southward attack of Liu Bei's cavalry, the tiger and leopard army, the speedy army, to monitor the city gates to prevent The defenders went out of the city to attack the soldiers and villagers who were digging the trenches."

After Chutian decided to use the water attack, he gave up the strong attack.

Water attack is a tactic that Chutian is not very willing to use. The water attack did too much damage to the prosperous city of Ye, and at the same time there would be a large number of refugees.

In addition, as long as the defenders are strong enough, they can still hold on for several months even after the city is flooded.

But now it seems that if the city is flooded with Zhangshui, its will is shaken, and if it is besieged for a few months, the city of Ye will most likely experience civil strife and then surrender.

"If they can hold out until November, then we're going to have to withdraw."

Chutian scheduled the time to retreat.

In November there will be the epic battle "Battle of Jingkang".

The reward for the "Battle of Jingkang" is very likely to be the famous general Yue Fei, and Chu Tian must take it. Otherwise, if Yue Fei is taken away by other princes, then Chu Tian will face unprecedented threats.

At his peak, Yue Fei was also a terrifying existence capable of turning around the local battlefield.

It also depends on the rules of the fourth epic battle.

In general, epic battles are shorter than national battles, lasting 1-3 months and ending.

"During the Battle of Jingkang, we can still besiege the city until they can no longer defend it. It is estimated that Zhao Long will instruct the defenders to surrender. After all, he has to face the public opinion of all players, and there are many players in Yecheng."

Summer cool inspired Chutian.

Because of the large number of players in Yecheng, the food was exhausted. Under the pressure of the player group, Zhao Long would definitely make Yecheng surrender.

In any case, it is enough to surround Yecheng.

"Brothers, the task of digging trenches given to us by the main bus must be done properly for me!"

Carrying a shovel, Mi Fang led the other four tigers of the Northern Army, Wu Anguo, Lu Kuang, Xing Daorong, and a group of villagers to dig trenches and divert Zhangshui.

In addition to the Four Tigers of the Northern Army, there was also a group of captives who surrendered in Yuzhou, including Cai Zhong and Cai He, two generals in Jingbei.

If the Cai brothers were not from the Jingzhou faction and their loyalty was unknown, Mi Fang even wanted to take the Cai brothers into the account and turn the Four Tigers of the Northern Army into the Six Tigers of the Northern Army.

The formation of the Four Tigers of the Northern Army was sparse, but with brute force and energy, it was suitable for digging trenches.

Under Mi Fang's urging, a group of people were in full swing.
