"Online Games: Lords of All ()" Find the latest chapter!

"My second brother is still invincible."

Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh when he saw Guan Yu coming to see him carrying the head of a thousand Turkic families.

Liu Bei's 50,000-strong army left the Ili Valley and advanced along the Tianshan Mountains.

The goal given by the Military Strategy Department to Liu Bei's army was to capture Suiye City.

Suiye City is located in the Chu River Basin in the west of Issyk-Kul Lake, and is beyond the scope of the Western Region Protectorate.

This place is the birthplace of the famous poet Li Bai.

Currently, Broken Leaf City is controlled by the Golden Family.

Liu Bei was ordered to attack the famous Suiye City. The strategic purpose was to prevent the troops of the Turkic general Sulu stationed in Suiye City from cutting off the retreat of the Western Expeditionary Army.

Sulu, the Khan of Tuqishi, a separate tribe of Turks, was active in Central Asia and relied on the Tang Dynasty at its peak. The Tang Dynasty granted Sulu the title of General Zuo Yulin, and used Sulu to block the "Great Conquest" of the Arab Empire's eastward expansion in history. Sulu lived up to expectations and repeatedly defeated the Arab Empire's expeditionary forces, causing headaches for the Arabs.

Later, Sulu's power grew, and the Tang Dynasty saw the danger of raising tigers, so it sent envoys to join forces with the Arab Empire to destroy Sulu.

In other words, more than a thousand years ago, the Tang Dynasty had a foreign policy of supporting agents, launching wars, and eradicating agents when they felt they were out of control...

Knowing that the Golden Family sent Sulu to occupy Suiye City, Chu Tian ordered Liu Bei's army to fight for Suiye City and defeat Sulu to ensure a way out.

At the same time, Suiye City is also a supply point on the outskirts of the Ili River Valley. There is no teleportation array in this city, so there is no need to worry that after the war begins, the number of Turkic cavalry in Suiye City will increase dramatically.

Sulu has repeatedly defeated the Arab Empire's Eastern Expedition troops in history, causing heavy losses to the Arabs. Chutian considered that Liu Bei's army had enough strength to defeat Sulu, so he sent Liu Bei's army.

Guan Yu, who returned to the battlefield, couldn't wait to serve as the vanguard, beheading thousands of Turkic families who came to test him, and repaid Liu Bei by beheading them.

Chen Xi, who serves as Liu Bei's army's military advisor, spread out the topographic map of Central Asia and moved his fingers along the marching route: "Other armies have already marched southwest along the Tianshan Mountains and will soon enter the Syr Darya River Basin and go north along the Syr Darya River. We can besiege the royal city of the Seljuk Empire. There are a large number of Turkic cavalry in the Tianshan Mountains, Dawan Kingdom, and the Seljuk Empire. We will capture Suiye City as soon as possible and join forces with the army ahead."

After Chen Xi surrendered to Chu Tian, ​​as a player, he still knew the importance.

Civil war can lead to life and death, but external war cannot lead to internal strife.

If internal strife breaks out during a foreign war, defeat is inevitable.

In particular, the opponent is the Golden Family, which has attracted a large number of grassland tribe leaders.

Attacking Sulu who was stationed in Suiye City was Chutian's test for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei had not fought for five or six years. When he felt that he had gained weight, he returned to the battlefield and felt that he was still used to fighting and killing.

Although a comfortable life is good, it may be difficult for these generals who are accustomed to the battlefield.

"Sulu is a strong enemy and is good at surprise attacks. This is also a method commonly used by cavalry generals."

Before Chen Xi participated in the first Western Expedition of the Great Xia Dynasty, as a rare player adviser, he had studied many famous generals who served the Golden Family.

Cavalry generals can also be roughly divided into generals who are good at light cavalry harassment, long drives, and surprise attacks, such as Huo Qubing, and generals who are good at pig assault, such as Hua Xiong and the Persian Royal Wild Boar.

Sulu is a Turkic general belonging to the light cavalry genre.

Liu Bei had great trust in this military advisor: "How do you think the military advisor will deploy it?"

"If you want to attack Suiye City, you need to cross the Chu River. Nine times out of ten, Sulu will choose to attack halfway. You can send two generals, Guan and Zhang, to lead powerful crossbows and chariots across the river. Two generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, will lead When fighting, you can pretend to be in chaos. When Sulu comes to attack, ten thousand crossbows will fire to injure him, and the army can cross the river smoothly."

"Everything is according to what the military advisor said."

Liu Bei followed Chen Xi's plan and sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with 500 sword and axemen, 1,000 Youzhou cavalry, 3,000 white cannon soldiers, and 5,000 crossbowmen equipped with divine arm bows.

He was the first to cross the river, and personally led the seemingly larger "main force" to cross the river later.

The tactic of attacking halfway across the river is very common. That is, launching a charge while the enemy is crossing the river to destroy the enemy's troops crossing the river. This can prevent the enemy from taking advantage of its strength. Or, on the way across the river, the enemy is unprepared and difficult to form an array. Kill and injure the opponent's soldiers and horses.

When Sun Ce and Yang Youji were in Beijiang, they attacked halfway across the river and defeated the Dayue army that crossed the river from Wanjiejin.

However, even mid-crossing attacks sometimes fail.

The most interesting thing is the Battle of Feishui. In order to achieve a half-crossing attack, Fu Jian ordered the army to retreat and let Xie Xuan's Beifu army cross the Feishui River in an attempt to achieve a half-crossing attack. As a result, once the former Qin army retreated, it was completely out of control. Xie Xuan took advantage of the situation to pursue and defeat Fu Jian.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their troops to cross the river, the Turkic cavalry sent by Sulu to investigate had already spread the news that Liu Bei's army was crossing the river to the ears of Sulu who was ambushing nearby.

"The Golden Family promised me that as long as I guard Suiye City, I will be the khan of the Central Asian Hezhong region. Suiye City will become the royal city of the Tuqishi Khanate."

As a general of Central Asian civilization, Sulu also had his own ambitions.

In fact, nine out of ten of the main generals who served the Golden Family were ambitious tycoons, such as Yelu Dashi, Timur, Mahmud, and Sulu. These people all wanted to establish their own kingdoms and have absolute power.

"General, when are we going to attack?"

"When Xia's army has 20,000 to 30,000 people crossing the river... no, 10,000 people have crossed the river, we will launch an attack."

Sulu originally planned to attack halfway across the border, but thought that Xia's army was too dangerous, so he first killed Liu Bei's 10,000-man army, severely injuring Liu Bei and forcing him to retreat.

The current task given to Wokuotai of the Golden Family is to defend Suiye City and threaten the Xia army's retreat.

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei crossed the river, they did not arrange any scouts. Instead, they ordered hundreds of cavalry to pretend to be disorganized to attract the attention of the Turkic cavalry, while they deployed chariots in the rear.

Liao Hua and Zhou Cang were both serving in the armies of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at this time.

Chen Dao, the leader of the Baijie soldiers, led three thousand Baijie soldiers. The main weapon of the Baijie soldiers was spears, which could be arranged in a long spear formation.

When Liu Bei's army gradually crossed the river with tens of thousands of people, on the horizon, the Turkic cavalry arrived and used the tactic of half-crossing and attacking!

Once the tactic is successful, it is a special event on the battlefield and will cause the morale of Liu Bei's army to drop.

"Well done, I've been itching for a long time!"

Zhang Fei had not gone into battle for a long time and wanted to lead troops to attack the Turks.

And Guan Yu stopped Zhang Fei: "It is said that there are one hundred thousand Turkic cavalry in Suiye City, but we still act in accordance with the military advisor's orders."

"Meet the enemy!"

Chen Dao gave an order, and three thousand white soldiers quickly formed a spear phalanx. The uniform spears were matched with military chariots, with their backs to the river, forming a fan-shaped moon formation!
