Chapter 297: Pengcheng Blitz (1)

"My Yuan Gonggong is not afraid of Yang Wudi, so I dare not attack Xiaopei, but Pengcheng is more valuable to attack."

Yuan Shu commanded an army of more than 100,000 to fight against Pengcheng, intending to capture the city defended by Mi Fang and Yin Li.

Yuan Shu's generals did not dare to be enemies with Yang Ye. Since Yuan Shu wanted to fight Pengcheng and bypass Yang Ye, they were happy to do so.

The prefect of Jiujiang led Chen Qingzhi and Hou Jing to meet Yuan Shu, gave Yuan Shu face, and still regarded Yuan Shu as the master.

"There are two generals under his command, who can command the cavalry. The generals Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Chen Lan, and Lei Bo command the infantry and archers. Although Xuzhou Mu has an army of one million, he has nothing to fear."

In order to make Yuan Shu follow his advice, the Jiujiang prefect deliberately flattered Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was aided by the Jiujiang prefect, and two cavalry generals helped him restore his confidence: "I want to have Zhang Xun lead his troops to attack the city, and the rest of the troops and horses to stop the enemy, what do you think?"

A group of generals replied: "That's very good."

"My lord, Xiaopei defender Yang Wudi is less than twenty miles away from our army's north camp!"

Yuan Shu was planning to have a feast for the officials, but when he heard that Yang Wudi's ghost was still alive, the wine bottle almost fell to the ground.

Yang Wudi, it's Yang Wudi again!

This name made Yuan Shu and the generals of Yuan Shu's forces terrified.

The prefect of Jiujiang did not know that Yuan Shu and his generals were intimidated by the reputation of the enemy generals, and couldn't help but wonder: "How many people does Yang Ye have? Why should you be afraid?"

Yuan Shu shuddered and said, "Yang Wudi's military power is unparalleled in the world. Although he has only 10,000 cavalry, he is invincible when he has 10,000."

"Only ten thousand rides..."

The prefect of Jiujiang could not help but despise Yuan Shu.

Yang Ye had 10,000 cavalry, and they were not special cavalry. Yuan Shu had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but he was intimidated by Yang Ye's 10,000 cavalry.

"If the lord uses these two cavalry retainers, they cooperate with each other, even if it is two Yang Ye, it is nothing more than that."

The prefect of Jiujiang continued to recommend Chen Qingzhi and Hou Jing to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu hesitantly looked at the two below: "Can they really match Yang Wudi?"

"No problem."

"I will hand over 30,000 cavalry to them to meet Yang Wudi."

Yuan Shu himself had nothing to do with Yang Ye, and could only count on Chen Qingzhi and Hou Jing to play a role.

"Take orders!"

Chen Qingzhi divided Yuan Shu's 20,000 cavalry, and Hou Jing divided 10,000. They were stationed in Beiying, ready to attack Yang Ye.

Yang Ye was aggressive, always thinking of capturing Yuan Shu alive in the army of 100,000.

However, he has been in the battlefield and has a keen intuition for danger. When Chen Qingzhi's white robe army and a large number of light cavalry appeared, Yang Ye's intuition let him escape.

Yang Ye's army began to retreat.

Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he saw that Yang Wudi did not dare to fight. Finally someone can restrain Yang Wudi!

"Zhang Xun, you are preparing siege equipment to capture Pengcheng in one fell swoop. Chen Lan and Lei Bo, the two of you formed a southern camp to guard against reinforcements that might come from Xiapi.

Ji Ling and I sit in the Central Army. "

Yuan Shu divided the army into the north camp to block Yang Wudi; the south camp to guard against the army of Xiapi; the siege camp to prepare for the siege affairs; the middle camp to sit in the town and support all parties.

Yuan Shu's deployment seemed to be flawless, and no one raised any objection from the various alien lords and followers.

"The defense of Nanying is weak, I am afraid that the lord will be stationed in person."

Guo Jia made a proposal to the Jiujiang prefect in private.

His current status is not high, he is only a staff member of Yuan Shu's subordinates, and he cannot speak directly to Yuan Shu.

"Please rest assured, Sergeant, I have already sent scout cavalry to scout 30 miles to the south. Once the Xiapi army arrives, they will be aware of it as soon as possible. The middle battalion will immediately support the southern battalion."

"Even so, don't be careless. Pengcheng's horse is flat, and it is no longer suitable for cavalry to march."

"I will go to remind Chen Lan and Lei Bo to set up antlers and refuse horses to prevent them from being attacked by Xuzhou cavalry."

The prefect of Jiujiang knew that most of Guo Jia's suggestions were effective and would not aimlessly, so be careful.

In Pengcheng, Mi Fang, who had planned to capture Yuan Shu alive, immediately persuaded him when he saw Yuan Shu's army that was densely packed under the city.

Mi Fang thought that Yang Ye led 10,000 cavalry to attack Yuan Shu's army three times, almost capturing Yuan Shu alive, and he could also do it. But in fact, even if they saw Yuan Shu's endless army, not many people dared to have such a thought.

"There are only more than 20,000 soldiers in the city, how to hold on?"

The Taishan thief general Yin Li was dispatched to Pengcheng to assist in the defense.

The third prince of Yuan Shu IV, plus the vast territory and a large number of troops, at least his aura looked very scary.

"What kind of thing is Yuan Gonggong? I've never heard of him winning a battle. When Hulao Pass, he was a shit. Didn't our lord drive Dong Zhuo to Chang'an? In conclusion, Yuan Gonggong is a piece of shit."

Mi Fang was carefree, but it actually boosted the morale of the defenders.

Although Yuan Shu had a large number of soldiers and horses, he did not hear that he had any victories.

"Master Mi, since Yuan Shu is so unbearable, when will the city be able to clear the siege?"

"This..." Mi Fang faced the inquiries of a group of commanders and military commanders under her command. Now that she has put down her harsh words, it is better to brag even more. "It won't take three or five days, Yuan Shu will definitely withdraw his troops."

The corners of Yin Li's eyes twitched as he listened to Mi Fang's boasting, and Mi Fang was too daring to brag that there were 180,000 troops outside the city, not to mention three or five days, it would be a miracle to withdraw troops in ten days and a half months.

However, the soldiers believed Mi Fang's words, and their morale was high. After all, Yuan Shu would withdraw his troops in three or five days, and in three or five days, Yuan Shu would not be able to capture Pengcheng, which was defended by a large army.

There were 18,000 Chutian Corps a hundred miles away from Pengcheng, but they followed the Jiujiang Corps from a distance and did not approach them rashly.

The other party has a large number of scouts, and once approached, it is easy to be detected by the other party.

Chu Tian was accompanied by two soldiers, Fang Xuanling and Lu Su. He wanted to determine the tactics of destroying Yuan Shu's army.

Yuan Shu was too much of a threat to Xuzhou. Even though Yang Ye defeated Yuan Shu four times and three times, and Yuan Shu was terrified of him, his damage to Yuan Shu's army was limited. He has too many troops.

Under the premise that the various armies in Xuzhou were restrained by Cao Cao and Zhao Gongzi, Chutian could only win more with less.

"Pengcheng is located in a plain, with a horse and a flat river, and there is no danger to defend. It is suitable for a large-scale march of cavalry. If the lord is willing to take risks, he can achieve unexpected results."

"What the military division means is to lead the cavalry on a forcible march, and attack for hundreds of miles?"

"That's it. It's risky, but it's a battle to decide the outcome."

"Adventure? Which march to fight was not an adventure? That's the decision. Order the soldiers to eat, drink and rest, and set off tonight, be sure to arrive in Pengcheng before dawn. "

"Please let Zijing go to the battlefield."

In order to better integrate into the Xuzhou forces, Lu Su took the initiative to ask to fight.

Lu Su seems to have some force...

Chu Tian agreed: "Zijing doesn't need to kill the enemy, just follow me."

Chutian led the cavalry to raid, which did not mean that Chutian had to kill the enemy himself.

He assumed more of the task of commander-in-chief of the cavalry.

Chen Qingzhi, Xu Rong and others will lead the cavalry to fight in person, but they will not rush in front, the cavalry will sacrifice their lives and drive for them.

Chutian brought Zheng Zhilong and let Zheng Zhilong serve as the guard. At the same time, Chutian himself had 70 force, and the probability of being beheaded by the enemy was very low.

The intelligence showed that Yuan Shu's army did not have a general with a military force of more than 90, and it was impossible to take the leader of Chutian from the army.

"This raid is an adventure. I, Zheng Zhilong, and Joan of Arc lead a thousand cavalry battalions, a thousand Yue cavalry battalions, a thousand Changshui battalions, and 4,000 servant cavalry soldiers. They travel hundreds of miles at night and defeat the enemy!"

Chutian only used seven thousand cavalry.

Although it is only seven thousand cavalry, these seven thousand cavalry are not ordinary cavalry, but high-level cavalry.

Tunqiying, Yueqiying and Changshui are the sixth-order cavalry of the Fifth School of the Northern Army.

Joan of Arc's cavalry is a high-level alien cavalry captured by Chutian during the national war. Among them, the full-body armored noble knights are more than the seventh-order troops, because the price of full-body plate armor is too expensive, and the current Teutonic Knights are also There are only over a hundred full-armored knights.

In addition, there are the fifth-order Rajput cavalry of the Mughal Empire in India, the Arab Empire cavalry, the Goryeo cavalry...

Although the cavalry of the servant army is pieced together from various civilizations, under the control of Joan of Arc's fanatical ability, it can play an unexpected effect.

"The number of 7,000 cavalry is too small... After the Battle of Xuzhou, after learning the lesson of lack of mobility, the Women's Army has generally equipped horses for transportation. Lord Lord, please let the Women's Army and subordinates go into battle. Lord Lord should be in great need of subordinates. ……Ability."

Xia Xia Liang asked Li Xiuning to play. She has an all-army aura.

It stands to reason that if you bring her, Chutian's cavalry will be more powerful.

"It is precisely because I need you that I cannot let you play."

If Chu Tian removed the back directly, Xia Xia Liang Jiao's body was slightly shocked.

"But if there is something wrong with the lord, the subordinates may not be able to live alone. Moreover, Xiuning has the ability to boost morale. Baili rush has a great impact on morale. If the soldiers do not have enough morale, it is like the end of a strong arrow, and they cannot wear Luzhen."

Xia Xia Liang's proposal made Chu Tian's heart move. If Xia Xia Liang and Li Xiuning were brought along, the cavalry's combat effectiveness could indeed reach its peak.

Not to mention the halo of the whole army that Xia Xia Liang brought, the morale was low after the overnight march, and Li Xiuning's ability to inspire as Princess Pingyang was very important.

Chutian has always been pragmatism first, but this time he struggled a bit, and finally said: "It's okay, you all participate in the raid. But you can only be at the rear."

"Yes!"

Xia Xia Liang and Li Xiuning were able to participate in the raid and were eager to try.

Lu Su saw that there was some complicated relationship between these people.

For Chutian, Xia Xia Liang may be a subordinate or one of the few strangers who is in constant contact with each other, ensuring that Chutian always maintains the thinking ahead of the times.

In addition to the 7,000 cavalry and the 5,000 Women's Army (with horses), the infantry battalion and the Shesheng battalion followed. Once the front Chutian is in a hard fight, the infantry battalion and the shooting sound battalion will play a role.

Thirteen thousand people feasted and prepared for a hard march.

These elite soldiers understand that as long as the food in the army gets better, it means that they are going to die next.

If you die, you have to be a full-fledged ghost!

All the soldiers sat on the ground, and the battle was imminent, regardless of each other.

"Xuzhou Mu's subordinates are full of talented people. In contrast, the Xiangyong I brought support is just a mob."

Lu Su felt ashamed when he saw that Chu Tian's elite army was strong and strong, and compared with the seven hundred villagers he brought.

After all, Xiangyong is just a countryman. Compared with professional soldiers, there is a gap, not to mention that those who Chutian used for Baili raids are the elites of the elite.

Except for the early stage of Chutian, few commanders and horses fought.

Most of the founding kings had to fight for their lives in person, and they were embarrassed to say that they were the founding kings without escaping a few times. In order to fight Liu Bang, even his family members were captured by Xiang Yu, and Liu Bei's family members were also captured by Cao Cao.

Without military merit, it is difficult to suppress a group of civil servants and generals below.

No one from the Xuzhou forces dared to underestimate Xia Xia Liang, because she has military merit.

"No drinking."

Although Chutian gave the soldiers a good meal before they fought to the death, it didn't mean that they could get drunk, so they wouldn't be able to fight.

Joan of Arc also sat on the ground, and she was used to the behavior of the Eastern cavalry.

Just as the grassland tribes were greatly influenced by the farming civilization, the Central Plains cavalry was also greatly influenced by the grassland cavalry, so there was the reform of Hufu cavalry and archery.

The eastern cavalry came and went like the wind, and it was a common thing to run around in a roundabout way. Heavy cavalry is not bad either.

"Aren't we going to fight Cao Mengde? Who is this Yuan Gonggong?"

Joan of Arc was tricked into fighting. She didn't know much about the surrounding princes and could only passively obey orders.

She first fought Taishan County, and then went south to fight Yuan Shu. She didn't know what she was doing, she only knew how to fight with Chutian. It seemed that her road back to France was getting harder and harder...

The cavalry of the Servant Legion were scattered in the Eastern Han Dynasty, unable to return to their respective civilizations, and they were somewhat similar to mercenaries. Their harsh lords are only willing to pay half of their army salaries, but for some reason, it is difficult for them to have the idea of ​​betrayal. They are more like servants than mercenaries.

Fang Xuanling was left by Chu Tian to command the infantry battalion and the Shesheng battalion, and was responsible for coping with the situation.

Thirteen thousand people rested. When night fell, Chu Tian opened his eyes and saw that Li Xiuning in armor was ready, knowing that the time for the surprise attack had come.

"Get on the horse and prepare to fight!"

Chu Tian got on his horse, carrying a horned bow on his back and twenty arrows in his quiver.

The vicious big pirate Zheng Zhilong followed Chu Tian. His weapons were a spear and a waist knife. Although Zheng Zhilong prefers to use a knife, he fights immediately.

The young Lu Su wore a sword around his waist, because he was on the battlefield for the first time, and he couldn't help but be excited about the real battlefield.

Why don't the man take Wu Hook and charge Guanshan Fifty Provinces!

Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, if you are a scholar, Wanhuhou!

"Set off!"

The 13,000 cavalry left the camp, and with the cover of the night, Baili raided Pengcheng!

A long time ago, there was a person who dared to play like this, that person's name was Xiang Yu, and 30,000 cavalrymen attacked Liu Bang's army of 560,000!
