Chapter 369 Monan Dragon City
The latest website: "All strong men should respond to the government's call. Juxian County will send 80,000 strong men, and the rest of the counties will send 40,000 strong men to transport food or assist in siege!"
"All granaries transport 80% of military rations to Ju County!"
In Beihai Kingdom, Li Kui, the governor of Qingzhou appointed by Chutian, came to Beihai Kingdom and, according to Chutian's order, mobilized the young men of Beihai Kingdom to prepare to capture Linzi City.
The crowd tactics of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are not useless. When there are enough numbers and commanded by famous generals, the crowd tactics can capture almost any city, depending on how many casualties the siege party intends to pay.
Zhou Yafu, who hadn't appeared in front of Chu Tian recently, assisted Li Kui in commanding Xiang Yong and prepared to besiege Linzi.
After a period of operation, Beihai Kingdom has regained its productivity slightly.
This battle of Qingzhou will squeeze the war potential of Beihai Kingdom.
In the plain, Tian Qi Tan, the real governor of Qingzhou, heard the movement of Beihai Kingdom and judged that Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou was about to attack Qingzhou in a big way. The Beihai Kingdom's general mobilization, calling for hundreds of thousands of rural braves, could not hide the movement at all.
Taishan County, Lu State, and Jibei State also began to mobilize, and the direction of their attack was obviously Jinan State.
"Yuan Shao is going north, I can't support me alone, I'm afraid that the young master Zhao of Linzi will not be able to hold on, this time is in danger."
Tian Qi's base was in the plain north of the Yellow River, and he was not worried that Chutian would cross the Yellow River to the north to pursue him. His only concern was that, in addition to Pingyuan County, south of the Yellow River, all five counties of Qingzhou would be owned by Chutian.
Tian Qi asked, "Master, what should we do?"
"My lord, please let me go to Jinan and cooperate with General Tian Ji. Maybe I can take advantage of the enemy's carelessness and defeat them one by one."
"I hope that Jinan can be defended, and everything is entrusted to Mr.
Tian Qi sent the main army to Jinan for the final struggle.
"Can Tian Qi stop Chu Zimou's offensive? Chu Zimou is attacking in the direction of Qi and Jinan. It is difficult to defend this time."
Zhao Gongzi, who was trapped in Linzi, was very worried in the face of such a situation.
He realized that Chutian wanted to attack from two directions, on the one hand besieging Qi State Linzi, on the other hand Jinan State,
Cut off Linzi's connection with the surrounding defenders.
Once Linzi becomes an isolated city, it will be difficult for Linzi to defend.
...
In Monan, 20,000 cavalry galloped, broke through a Xianbei tribe, shot with horns and bows, and Xianbei warriors were shot dead!
Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong had extra bonuses when dealing with aliens, and he was able to deal with Xianbei tribes with ease.
Almost all of Monan was occupied by Xianbei tribes and foreign lords. At this time, the power of the Xianbei tribe was not strong, and it was not easy for the foreign lords to develop.
Medium-sized cities are relatively rare in Monan. The lord of one of the medium-sized cities surrendered to Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou, and Chu Zimou promised him secretly that if he unified the Eastern Han Dynasty in the future, he could be named a lord and lead the governor of Bingzhou. In addition, this lord was attacked by other lords in Monan and urgently needed reinforcements, so Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan were invited to come to Monan.
"I didn't expect that there is also a city in Monan!"
Gongsun Zan led the cavalry into Monan, which was vast and vast, and rarely saw a city. The alien lord who can build a medium-sized city in Monan is already one of the big lords in Monan.
The alien lord wants to unify Mo Nan, and the difficulty is not trivial. Monan is the territory of the Xianbei tribe, and there are threats from the Mongolian Empire civilization in Mobei.
This city in Monan is located beside a lake and has access to water, and tens of thousands of horses, cattle and sheep live in pursuit of water and grass.
Prince Yan was in a daze, followed by Di Qing and Fan Zhongyan. This time they went far to Monan, and they wanted to re-establish their power.
"Occupying this prairie, we can establish a royal court in Monan!"
When Gongsun Zan left Youzhou, he was very worried, but when he saw the city and the vast grassland, he thought about it carefully.
"I am Prince Yan of Western Liaoning!"
Prince Yan rode his horse to the bottom of the city and reported himself to the defenders on the city.
"The reinforcements from western Liaoning are here!"
"They are finally here, hurry up and inform the lord!"
When the defenders heard that they were reinforcements from western Liaoning, they immediately informed their lord.
The lord of the city opened the city gate and went out to greet him: "Under Liu Hu, this is Monan Dragon City."
"Dragon City?"
Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan looked at each other, and they both knew that Longcheng was a sacred place for the Huns.
Liu Hu said: "Of course, this is not the real Dragon City, but I named it without authorization. Please!"
Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan entered the city, which had a population of about 100,000.
"Almost all the people in Monan are soldiers. Don't underestimate the population of more than 100,000. When fighting, as long as they are herdsmen and have war horses, they can basically form a fighting force."
Liu Hu thought of the urgent matter: "Recently, a lord who has more horses than me attacked me very urgently. He also asked the two to help me defeat the enemy, and then plunder its population, livestock and property. Only then can this city be upgraded to a large city. ."
"Good to say."
Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan came to Monan Longcheng to rest for several days and prepare for battle.
"drive!"
A large number of cavalry concentrated action, mighty, as many as 100,000 people! The black cavalry swept across the grassland, thousands of horses galloped, and their hooves trampled the weeds!
"Destroy Monan Dragon City, capture its population, and belong to you!"
"Break the Monan Dragon City and allow three days of looting!"
Hundreds of thousands of cavalry were like locusts. Wherever they went, various tribes were overrun, livestock plundered, and free people turned into slaves.
The survival rules in Monan are more cruel than those in the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, there are still great Confucians and aristocratic families. In Monan, it is completely a world where the weak eat the strong, and the weak can only become the slaves of the strong.
"The enemy cavalry is coming!"
The Monan Dragon City occupied by Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan was panicked, and their city might not be able to stop the attack of 100,000 cavalry.
"Go out to fight!"
With the support of Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan, and another 20,000 elite cavalry from western Liaoning and Youbeiping, Liu Hu became more courageous and led the cavalry to fight against the enemy.
"We must adapt to the survival rules of Monan and lay down the entire Monan."
Prince Yan is from western Liaoning and can quickly adapt to the rules of Monan.
About 50,000 cavalry went out of the city, relying on the city to fight. Among the 50,000 cavalry, there were 20,000 elite cavalry brought by Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan, and 30,000 Monan cavalry. Among the 30,000 Monan cavalry, many were temporarily recruited herdsmen, and their combat effectiveness was much lower than that of the elite cavalry, but similar to that of the low-level cavalry. On the prairie, all the people are soldiers, as long as there are men who can fight, they are all men in control!
At the end of the grassland, the earth is shaking, and the hooves of war horses cause the mud to tumble!
A wriggling black line appeared at the end of the field of vision, from far to near.
"Cavalry, a lot of cavalry."
Di Qing put on a hideous mask and looked into the distance. Like the King of Lanling, he has a disheveled hair and a copper mask to boost morale and intimidate the enemy.
"Sounds from all sides are coming from all corners, thousands of mountains, long smoke and sunset, the lonely city is closed..."
Fan Zhongyan couldn't help sighing when he saw the sunset.
In the next few years, he may have to operate in Monan for a long time.
"We can end the battle before dark!"
Gongsun Zan was not afraid to face the cavalry in Monan. With the spear in his hand, he was followed by a few white horses.
The sound of the hooves became more and more intense, and the wriggling black lines turned into dark clouds one after another, and swept in like a black tide! The enemy's cavalry wielded bright sabres, and many cavalrymen held horned bows, ready to sack Monan Longcheng!
With a clanging sound, Prince Yan drew out his sword.
"kill!"
Prince Yan clamped the horse's belly, urged the horse to gallop, and led the cavalry to attack the 100,000 enemy cavalry!
When Gongsun Zan saw the sworn brother's move, he immediately followed!
"The princes from Western Liaoning and Youbeiping County are really brave!"
Seeing that Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan were leading by example, Liu Hu also led the cavalry to attack the enemy cavalry!
Two cavalry troops, with more than 100,000 men, fought decisively on the vast prairie, and the screams of killing were earth-shattering!
Bai Ma Yi took the arrow from the curved bow and shot the cavalry along the way. Hundreds of thousands of Monan cavalry fell from their horses and died!
Gongsun Zan held his spear and charged in the chaotic army!
"The White Horse!? Only the cavalry owned by Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun appeared in Mo Nan!"
The alien lord on the opposite side thought that he would win, but he didn't expect Gongsun Zan and Baima Yicong to appear and directly kill him by surprise!
Di Qing, armed with a big sword, slashed dozens of enemy cavalry among the ten thousand cavalry, and drove the alien lord on the opposite side! There were hundreds of cavalry guards by the side of the foreign lord. He did not expect that there would be fierce generals on the other side, and immediately came to besiege Di Qing.
Di Qing led the cavalry in front of the Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty to hold the sun, and directly attacked the position of the enemy's main general! The cavalry holding the sun is a uniformed cavalry, one of the four armies in the early Song Dynasty, and it is the trump card of Prince Yan!
The armored cavalry was a devastating disaster for the light cavalry in Monan. Especially under the premise that the Monan cavalry did not know that Prince Yan suddenly appeared in Monan, and there were equipped cavalry!
The cavalry on both sides fought fiercely. The unsuspecting 100,000 cavalry were overwhelmed by 50,000 cavalry. Di Qing led hundreds of mounted cavalry, beheaded several generals in the ten thousand army, and knocked the unsuspecting alien lord off his horse! The armored cavalry trampled over, and the alien lord died tragically.
"The enemy general is dead, and the one who descends will not be killed!"
Many of the 100,000 cavalry were just herdsmen who participated in the looting. When the general was killed by Di Qing, the rest of the cavalry quickly collapsed and fled everywhere.
"Di Qing is really fierce."
Liu Hu couldn't help being horrified when he saw that Di Qing beheaded his old enemy and shocked Mo Nan. This time, he surrendered to Xuzhou Muchu Zimou and invited Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan, and he was right.
"The herdsmen in Monan go on horses as soldiers. This characteristic is really terrible. Moreover, the cost of starting a war for nomadic tribes is too low. If you can't beat them, you can still escape to Mobei and wait for work."
Prince Yan put away his long sword and was amazed at the fighting ability of the herdsmen in Monan. If you want to develop cavalry in Monan, the speed can be very fast. Herdsmen are not professional soldiers, but they have riding and archery skills comparable to professional soldiers.
If it wasn't for the fact that the other party did not understand the existence of Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan, and Prince Yan had a small team of armed cavalry from Di Qing, maybe they would have been destroyed by the enemy's 100,000 cavalry before they could gain a firm foothold in Monan.
After Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan defeated the attacking 100,000 cavalry, they captured each other's cavalry and expanded the population of Monan Longcheng.
Chutian has high hopes for them. They need to turn Monan Longcheng into a large city within a year or two, at all costs, and transport war horses to the customs.
"Go and annex his tribe immediately, and all the captives will be our slaves!"
Liu Hu couldn't wait to urge Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan to take over the territory of the defeated lord.
The large tribe of more than 300,000 people mourned all over the place. Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan chased and killed them, taking all the population captive and occupying the area of Monan. Liu Hu's cavalry recklessly burned, killed and looted as retaliation against the enemy.
Prince Yan reminded Liu Hu to keep the population and upgrade the Monan Dragon City into a large city. Liu Hu thought of Chu Zimou, the backer behind him, so he restrained the cruelty in his heart and took the surviving captives to Monan Longcheng. The identity of these captives is still slaves.
"The prairie is crueler than Guannei, let alone the Mongolian Empire in Mobei..."
Prince Yan looked to the north, the Mongolian Empire in Mobei was always a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
For some reason, the Eastern Han lords had limited understanding of Mobei.
Prince Yan shook his head. He also didn't know how the Mongolian Empire, which once went to Europe and Asia, was developing.
It may also be necessary for the Han army to re-sweep Mobei.
"Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan went to Monan? Could it be that Chu Zimou needs to get a warhorse from Monan? Or is it to attack Liaodong?"
More than 200,000 Liaodong corps entered the customs in command of Mingguan. He received information that after a cavalry suspected of white horses came out of Saibei, they were active in the Monan area, and successively broke the territory of more than ten tribes or foreign lords.
Mingguan saw a little clue.
However, he didn't have time to go deep into Monan to pursue Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan. He was bound to win the battle for Youzhou this time.
Mingguan mobilized hundreds of historical military generals and ordinary military generals, and the Liaodong Army Corps of more than 200,000 people came here with almost all of its national strength. If the competition for Youzhou fails, his Liaodong Army will suffer heavy losses and lose the chance to fight for Youzhou again.
Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black, followed him, and generals such as Chang Yuchun, Murong Ba, Li Chengliang, Zhu Neng, and Zu Dashou easily occupied Yuyang County, which had no defenders, and bordered Bingzhou Huma and Jizhou Yuan Shao. In order to compete for Ji County, the seat of Youzhou, a three-way battle was fought.
The battlefield was in Jixian area.
Bingzhou's army of more than 100,000 captured Dai County and Shanggu County, and absorbed local troops, and there were also 200,000 soldiers and horses.
On the west side, Bingzhou Muhuma led the elite cavalry to the Jixian battlefield.
Lian Po led Zhao's side cavalry, heavy armoured halberd infantry, and the dense halberds were like a forest, pointing diagonally towards the sky.
Zhou Dewei's iron forest armor and cavalry armor are neat, even if the yellow sand hits, the iron armor horse armor still glows with a cold luster.
Huma brought dozens of generals, ranging from gold-level to emperor-level, including historical generals and ordinary generals.
On the south side, Yuan Shao and Zhao Long joined forces and approached the Jixian battlefield from the north.
Yuan Shao was in the middle of the army, overseeing 300,000 troops, and was about to arrive in Youzhou.
In Zhuo County, Youzhou, Liu Bei led about 100,000 Tujue cavalry and Turkic cavalry in Youzhou to participate in the battle of Youzhou.
If you count the rural braves who transported food, the battle of Youzhou was as large as one million people. It was the largest battle in the Eastern Han Dynasty so far, except for the Yellow Turban Rebellion!
