Chapter 761 Xianbei God of War (Part 1)
"I didn't expect Zhang Dao to actually take down Wudu County, Hanyang County, and the two counties in the south of Liangzhou... It seems that every surviving prince has his own trump card."
At the same time that Chutian attacked Luoyang, Zhang Daobing left Qishan.
When Chutian defeated the 100,000 soldiers from Hedong County and crossed the Yellow River, Zhang Dao had successfully occupied Wudu and Hanyang counties, which caused a shock in Guanzhong.
The Xiliang army, which has always been fierce in folk customs, was defeated by a group of peasant troops, which alarmed all the princes of the Han Empire.
The great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao was born again, and he called the wind and the rain as soon as he made a move.
Zhang Dao did not let him down, he captured two counties in Liangzhou with one county in Hanzhong, such an achievement was unexpected.
"At least more than 100,000 troops are restrained in Liangzhou, and many generals are also in Xiliang. For us, Zhang Dao has done well enough."
Chu Tian did not ask Zhang Dao to take Liangzhou.
If Zhang Dao had the ability to occupy the entire Xiliang, he would not have been trapped in Hanzhong for many years.
The advantages and disadvantages of the peasant army are too obvious.
"Chang'an City will probably organize troops to repel Zhang Dao's peasant army. Whether Zhang Dao can hold the occupied counties is hard to say. Before that, we will capture Mang Mountain and occupy Luoyang City."
Lao Qin lacked a navy and could not prevent Chu Tian from crossing the river. Chu Tian successfully crossed the Yellow River and came to the south bank of the Yellow River.
On Mangshan Mountain on the south bank of the Yellow River, smoke was billowing. Wu Qi used a trebuchet to attack the fortified city established by the Qin army on Mangshan Mountain.
The artisan troops led by Liu Ye arrived at the camp of Wu Qi's army to assist Wu Qi in attacking Mangshan.
The Qin army set up many fortresses in order to block Wu Qi's offensive.
Chu Tian could see billowing black smoke from the fireball thrown by the Xiangyang Cannon, indicating that Wu Qi's attack on Mangshan was extremely fierce.
Lao Qin's defense is also very meticulous, and many strong fortresses have been set up in Mang Mountain in advance.
"My lord!"
Chen Qingzhi led a group of white-robed cavalry to the shore to meet Chutian.
"How is the battle in Mangshan?"
Chu Tian asked Chen Qingzhi about the situation on the Mangshan battlefield.
The outcome of the Mang Mountain battle will be crucial.
Chen Qingzhi replied: "Wei soldiers killed three thousand people, and the white robe army killed one thousand people..."
"Of the 80,000 soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, 3,000 were killed in battle. Sure enough, one general will be successful and ten thousand will be destroyed."
In the Battle of Mangshan, the two sides competed for the city and the pass. Before a decisive battle broke out, three thousand Wei soldiers and one thousand white-robed soldiers had already been killed.
Wei Wuzu and the White Robe Army were both seventh-tier troops. Chutian spent a lot of gold and silver to build an elite army, and just lost 4,000 people.
Guan Zhongjun is strong and not so easy to shake.
The generals of the Chutian forces, including himself, strongly advocated attacking.
Apart from Zhou Yafu, Cao Ren, and Hua Mulan, Chu Tian has never seen himself have any other generals with defensive characteristics.
The old Qin forces are good at defense, and the old Qin also has the defensive type of the whole army's aura "Chuhe Hanjie".
"Joining forces with Wu Qi, I will most likely be able to break through the defense line of Mangshan that Lao Qin painstakingly managed."
Chu Tian counted the legions he brought.
In "Lord", the lord can customize the legion, so that he can see the basic information of the legion.
Some basic information will help the lord to judge the status of the legion before the battle.
There are many factors that determine the outcome, and the Legion panel is only the most basic information.
[Legion]: The Fifth School of the Northern Army
【Chief General】: Mi Fang
【Number】: 14256
[Status]: high
【Average grade】: 75
[Morale]: 95 (combat power ↑)
[Physical Strength]: 81 (combat power ↑)
[Number of horses]: 12501
[Subordinate units]: Yueqi Battalion (2612 people), Changshui Battalion (2741 people), Tunqi Battalion (2928 people), Infantry Battalion (2985 people), Shesheng Battalion (2990 people)
...
"The average level of the five schools of the Northern Army has reached level 75. Most of these are veterans."
Chutian was able to recruit the Shesheng battalion ten years ago, and later got the other four battalion soldiers,
He has experienced hundreds of battles and is also training at ordinary times, so the fifth school of the Northern Army can be called a master of hundreds of battles.
In stark contrast is Tai Shici's cowardly Xue army.
After the recruitment of the Qixue army, they only participated in the suppression of Maodun Shanyu and the battle of Hanoi, and the time was still short.
[Legion]: Cowardly Xue Army
【Chief General】: Tai Shici
【Number】: 2263
[Status]: high
【Average grade】: 54
[Morale]: 91 (combat power ↑)
[Physical Strength]: 85 (combat power ↑)
[Number of horses]: 6712
...
The average level of the newly recruited Kexue army by Tai Shici was not that high, but among the Kexue army, hundreds of them were prisoners. They had served Genghis Khan and raised the average level of the Kexue army.
The five schools of the Northern Army have an average of less than one war horse per person, while the Kexue Army has three war horses per person. This does not include the number of pack horses, and they really have four horses per person.
"Go to meet Wu Qi."
Chu Tian led about 100,000 elite troops to Mang Mountain to join forces with Wu Qi.
boom!
The fireball thrown by the Xiangyang Cannon burst, and a Qin Ruishi crossbowman was hit by the fireball, instantly killing him!
More than a dozen giant trebuchets stood upright, bombarding the city wall non-stop. The stone walls trembled under the bombardment of the trebuchets. Hundreds of elite Qin troops died directly from the bombardment of the trebuchets!
Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers armed with strong crossbows, under the cover of trebuchets, forcibly attacked the city.
Wu Qi supervised the army and captured the city. Qin Ruishi was defeated and retreated down the mountain.
"My lord has arrived, and the decisive battle with the Qin army in Mangshan will probably start soon."
Wu Qi learned of Chutian's arrival, and knew that the purpose of Chutian's arrival was to fight Lao Qin.
In a duel between two heroes, there will always be one who wins.
"Chu Zimou is finally coming. The gain or loss of a city is not a problem at all."
Lao Qin has lost a city, but has not yet fallen into desperation.
The loss of Wudu County and Hanyang County is also within the acceptable range.
"Chen Cang and the Xie Ai Legion, the real key is Mangshan. Lu Fengxian, it's time for you to fight this time."
Lao Qin summoned Lu Bu.
...
"General Cao, the leader of Murong Xianbei, Murong Ba, requests a decisive battle."
In Youzhou, Murong Ba and Cao Cao clashed, believing that it was Cao Cao who killed Murong Ling and wanted to avenge his son.
"Father, let me fight."
Cao Ang volunteered to fight against Murong Xianbei.
Cao Cao glared at Cao Ang.
Cao Cao knew exactly how much Cao Ang weighed, and he didn't think Cao Ang was Murong Ba's opponent.
Wuhuan and Xianbei cavalry entered Youzhou in large numbers and swept Yuyang County.
Even Cao Cao, when the opponent aggressively attacked, temporarily avoided his front and then tried to counterattack.
The most difficult thing is not the Xianbei cavalry, but the Liaodong Army of Mingguan.
The Liaodong Army did not appear in Youzhou, and the marching route of Mingguan was uncertain. Every once in a while, the scouts deployed by the Youzhou Army sent back information about the whereabouts of the Liaodong Army, but Cao Cao was still unable to judge the main attack direction of Mingguan.
He and Mingguan are playing a game.
"The two generals Zhou Yafu and Li Guang were besieged by the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry. The Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry have nearly 300,000 cavalry! General Zhou Yafu thinks that the Wuhuan cavalry is not worth mentioning, but there are many strong generals in the Xianbei tribe. I am afraid that General Li Guang will have an accident. Ask the general for help!"
When Cao Cao stood still, the camps of Zhou Yafu and Li Guang were surrounded by Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry, with a total of 300,000 cavalry!
If the opponent is Tadun, Zhou Yafu and Li Guang are enough to settle them, but the problem lies in the three major tribes of Murong Xianbei, Duan Xianbei, and Yuwen Xianbei, with many generals.
Xianbei people are more fierce than Wuhuan people.
"The Xianbei cavalry want to encircle and fight for reinforcements, but we still have to send troops to support Zhou Yafu and Li Guang."
Cao Cao had already noticed the intentions of the Xianbei cavalry, but he had to save them.
This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy that cannot be rejected.
Murong Ba is the God of War of Xianbei, among the generals of Xianbei, he is brave and good at fighting, and his state is at its peak.
Historically, when Murong Ba went to war at the age of thirteen, he was already the champion of the three armies. He once defeated Huan Wen and Liu Laozhi, the famous generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
At the same time, the only one who could restrain Murong Ba was Wang Meng, the former Qin schemer.
Chutian forces speculated that Murong Ba was the emperor's cavalry commander, so Chutian told Cao Cao to deal with it carefully.
Murong's family is full of talents, and Ran Min, the King of Martial Mourning, also died under Murong Xianbei's army.
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, it's time for us to dispatch."
Cao Cao summoned Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, and Xia Houdun who was ordered to come. At present, Cao Cao can directly command only these generals.
"Murong Xianbei deliberately besieged the two generals Zhou Yafu and Li Guang. He must have set up an ambush. We should think of countermeasures in advance."
As the mastermind of Cao Cao's army, Xun You reminded Cao Cao before Cao Cao set off.
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, what do you think?"
Guo Jia thought for a while: "The three major tribes of Xianbei have many internal conflicts, and no one wants to rush to the front. It is better to use their conflicts to rescue Zhou Yafu's army."
"It makes sense."
With the help of two counselors, Cao Cao was able to deal with Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry.
Xun You was thinking about another matter: "The most powerful Liaodong Army in Liaodong has not yet entered the customs. I am worried that the Liaodong Army will not go to the Liaoxi Corridor..."
Cao Cao said: "How can the Liaodong army enter the customs if they don't go through the Liaoxi Corridor?"
Xun You said, "Maybe we will pass through the prairie and attack Shanggu County."
"Shanggu County..."
Cao Cao couldn't help but have a headache. The Liaodong Army is mainly composed of cavalry. It is really possible to detour through the grasslands, attack Shanggu County, and attack Youzhou from the north.
"Shanggu County is guarded by Xu Rong and Xia Houyuan. They seem unable to stop the Liaodong Army. If Murong Ba is the God of War of Xianbei, then King Ming is the God of War of Liaodong..."
