Chapter 1278: Li Yang Falls! Bai Xiaowen's Countermeasure

The next day, Bai Xiaowen set off with 30,000 elite soldiers. Before arriving in Liyang, I got a bad news.

Xiahou Dun captured Liyang!

General Jiang Yiqu was beheaded!

Bai Xiaowen didn't blame Jiang Yiqu for this battle until he inquired about the process.

Jiang Yiqu knew that he was no match for Xiahou Dun and other fierce generals, so he strictly guarded the city camp and did not fight Cao Jun.

But at night, the gate of Liyang City was opened by Cao Junneiying.

Cao Cao's fourth son, Cao Xiong, was extremely brave. He led an army into the city and beheaded three generals in a row. As for Jiang Yiqu, he also fell under the siege of Cao Xiong and his generals! As a result, the Liyang camp was broken, and the defeated soldiers fled north one after another.

Fortunately, when Jiang Yiqu broke the city, he made a wise decision, that is, to burn food and grass, and never give in to the enemy.

Bai Xiaowen showed a sad look, and said: "Although General Jiang lost ground in this battle, it was not his fault. When the city was broken, he died in a fierce battle, and he could still burn the stored grain and not leave it to the bandits. I did my best."

After a brief mourning, Bai Xiaowen ordered Jiang Yiqu to be posthumously named General of the Fuguo, posthumously Marquis Lie, and his son Yin.

Shi Dongzhao, the commander of the army, said: "Although Liyang is broken, there are still tens of thousands of troops stationed there. We only need to send one general to gather the defeated troops."

Qiao Rui said: "The morale of the newly defeated army is low. Even if it is gathered, it will not be available for the time being. It should be taken to Yedu and called after training the morale."

Bai Xiaowen nodded: "Tian Yu and Murong Ping are two generals who are reorganizing the army in Yedu. After these defeated soldiers are collected, they can be sent to Tian Yu's command and incorporated into the new ranks."

Bai Xiaowen selected 30,000 elite soldiers to fight this time, and let Tian Feng's nephew Tian Yu preside over the drill and reorganization of the remaining 100,000 troops in Yedu.

The purpose of this reorganization is to break up the Qingzhou Army and integrate it into the Jizhou Army.

Just after the negotiation was finalized, the second bad news came again.

After Xiahou Dun captured Liyang, he sent Cao Xiong to lead three thousand elite troops to march northeastward to take Fanyang City; Xiahou Dun led the rest of his troops to invade Anyang.

On the map, Xiahou Dun's troops were divided into two groups,

Draw a lying "7" offensive.

Xiahoudun's 7,000 troops took a straight line to attack Anyang; while Cao Xiong's 3,000 troops took a roundabout route, going all the way to Fanyang and Wei County before attacking Yedu.

Dong Zhao said in surprise: "Anyang is the gateway to the capital of Ye, so the lord must guard against it. Moreover, Cao Xiong led the army to attack Fanyang, and he needed to divide his troops to defend it. Once Fanyang is broken, Wei County will be next. After the opponent breaks through Wei County again, they will You can go west along the Zhang River, and Yedu is in danger."

Tian Feng frowned and said: "Xiahoudun's troops only have 10,000 troops, but they are a vanguard army. Why did he divide his troops? Isn't this because he has weakened his momentum?"

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes, but laughed.

Dong Zhao was very funny: "My lord, the situation is not good now, why are you laughing?"

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "I don't laugh at anything else. I only laugh at Cao Mengde and his son's rivalry and schemes against each other. Who would have thought that the Cao family would have such a cold temperament!"

Neither Dong Zhao nor Tian Feng understood what it meant.

Bai Xiaowen didn't explain much, and said: "Cao Xiong's three thousand soldiers are nothing to worry about. The walls of Wei County are high and thick. We only need to send more generals who are good at defending the city, to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and Cao Xiong will return without success."

Tian Feng said: "My nephew Tian Yu is quite good at military art and has courage. As long as my lord sends him to defend the city, he will be safe."

Bai Xiaowen nodded and smiled, "That's exactly what I mean."

Afterwards, Bai Xiaowen asked Qiao Rui to go back to Yedu to pass orders and arrange to defend the city.

There was also some discussion in the team channel.

Li Shuyi: "This Richard is really fierce."

Qiao Rui: "What's the matter? It's obvious that the Awakened people placed in our camp played a role. To be fair, the city design in ancient China is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it wasn't for the Awakened people who opened the city gate secretly, Richard No matter how powerful Germany is, it is impossible to enter the city easily."

Although the awakened ones have powerful props and changeable methods, it doesn't mean that they can crush spirit world figures.

For example, Bai Xiaowen's long-term control of large-scale deterrence + mental force field is not invincible in many cases. Because the ancient Chinese military drum has the effect of invigorating the morale of the army, it can interrupt the opponent's continuous control skills.

After mastering the Hebei army, Bai Xiaowen also had an understanding of items such as "army drums".

There are three types of ancient Chinese military drums: Niu Drum, Si Drum and Kui Drum.

All three kinds of drums have the effect of boosting morale. Among them, Sigu also has the effect of interrupting the enemy's continuous skills, and the additional priority is 2 points; in addition to interrupting, Kuigu also has the special effect of clearing the abnormal status of friendly troops, and the additional priority is 3 points.

Of course, the snare drum is not played casually. The so-called one bang, then decline, and three times exhausted, the morale value increased by the first drum is the highest, the second drum is halved, and the morale is basically not increased by the third drum. Beating the drum later will lower morale instead, and the gain outweighs the loss.

The total priority of Bai Xiaowen's deterrence before was 6 points. As long as the opponent has a leader-level general and beats the drum, his mental force field can be broken.

But now, because of Xun Yu's Wang Zuo skills, Bai Xiaowen has added 1 point to the basic priority, and the total priority of deterrence has also increased, reaching 7 points!

If you want to break it again, it will not be so easy. A leader-level general must be equipped with the highest-level "Kui Drum" to break it;

The number of Kui drums is very small, and the Yuan camp has only one side; the Si drum has as many as six sides.

After listening to Qiao Rui's words, Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Sister Qiao is right. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate the internal response of the Shenting in the camp. Sister Qiao, after you return to Yedu to deliver the order, you must go to Wei County with Tian Yu to call All the generals and leaders, including the city gate officials, check to see if there are awakened people inside. Once found, no matter who the opponent is, they will be killed!"

"Didn't you go to Fanyang? Do you think Fanyang can't be kept?" Qiao Rui asked.

Bai Xiaowen said: "Cao Xiong is eager to make meritorious service and improve his prestige in the Cao Group, so this battle is well prepared. Although he doesn't have many troops, the Awakening of Shenting gathers a dozen or more people , The destructive power is indeed strong enough. The defensive force of Fanyang City itself is very weak, and it must not be able to stop it. It is estimated that after you arrive in Wei County, you will hear the news that Fanyang City is broken."

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "Let Tian Yu bring a drum, just in case."

Qiao Rui said: "If the lurking awakener is very powerful, what should I do if I jump over the wall and assassinate Tian Yu?"

Bai Xiaowen said: "I will send Murong Ping to follow you. This general is good at archery, and like Cecilia, he has the skills to bless the bow and arrow troops. With him leading a bow and arrow team, plus you provide field control , even if it is Richard himself, don’t even think about retreating in one piece.”

Qiao Rui agreed, and immediately returned to Yecheng to deliver the order.

Bai Xiaowen continued to lead the army forward. Although Xiahoudun said that he was going to attack Anyang, Bai Xiaowen didn't believe it.

Of the 10,000 vanguard troops, 3,000 were divided out, and the remaining 7,000 people wanted to attack the southern gateway of Yedu——Anyang City? Xiahou Dun is crazy to do this.

If Xiahoudun really dared to do this, Bai Xiaowen couldn't wish for it, just before the main force of Cao's army arrived, to wipe out Xiahoudun's vanguard army, it would be best to kill one or two lord-level fierce generals——

Due to the popularity, most of Cao Jun's generals left their names in history, resulting in too many lords. If you don't get rid of one or two first, Bai Xiaowen is really hard to fight head-on.
