Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 228: Preparation for battle
"A group of about 20,000 infantry archers appeared in Jiqiu County, and they were suspected of going to meet Yang Wudi!"
The garrison Wu Dun in Jiqiu County always pays attention to the movements of the Xuzhou coalition forces in the south.
Xiang Yan, the commander-in-chief on the opposite side, dispatched 20,000 archers to support Yang Ye and prevent Yang Ye's entire army from being wiped out.
Facts have proved that Xiang Yan's judgment was correct. Yang Ye was besieged by the main cavalry generals of Langya Kingdom, losing 3,000 cavalry soldiers, and fighting and retreating.
The opponent's generals are too numerous, and they have the advantage of vision. Yang Ye's every move seems to be under the supervision of the opponent.
Yang Ye was not so easy to be captured, and the only one who fought against him for one round in the chaotic army, Hua Mulan, did not gain the upper hand.
Yang Ye did not choose to entangle too much with the opponent's generals. With the strength of his troops, he broke through the encirclement all the way. Although several generals were encircled, it was difficult to completely destroy Yang Ye's cavalry.
"There are enemy reinforcements approaching, the number may be more than 10,000, and the type of troops is unknown. Stop the pursuit!"
Hua Mulan's war eagle sensed the arrival of Xiang Yan's reinforcements, and Hua Mulan immediately notified the three armies.
The intelligence that the Warhawk can provide is limited, but it is enough to make simple decisions!
Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, and Li Guang stopped chasing and killing.
Sure enough, the 20,000 foot archers sent by Xiang Yan appeared at the end of the plain to meet Yang Ye, who was being hunted.
Yang Ye received reinforcements and was able to reorganize the scattered troops, but he actually lost 3,000 cavalry.
"The strength of the Langya country is hard to match. Fortunately, the Langya country has only ten thousand cavalry, and the result is unknown."
For the first time, Yang Ye fought against the generals of the Langya Kingdom, and was deeply moved by the strength of the Langya Kingdom.
It is not unreasonable that Langya can rely on one county to compete with the remaining four county of Xuzhou.
The two sides faced off in the Jiqiu County area. Yang Ye's morale was frustrated, and it was still difficult to launch an attack with 20,000 infantry archers, so he slowly retreated.
After Yang Ye left, Xue Rengui, Li Guang, Hua Mulan, and Zhao Yun also returned to Xiacheng one after another.
In the first confrontation between the two sides, Yang Ye suffered a small loss, but the problem was not big. The 3,000 cavalry was only one-tenth of the cavalry force of the Xuzhou coalition. Yang Ye also killed and wounded hundreds of Langya cavalry, including some The high-ranking cavalry who was stabbed to death by Yang Ye with his spear.
"Yang Ye did not lose his reputation as invincible. He went deep into our country of Langya and was hunted down by the four generals. He could still retreat safely."
When Hua Mulan and the others came back and reported that the pursuit of Yang Ye was fruitless, Chu Tian had no intention of blaming the generals except for praising Yang Ye.
It's not the most difficult thing for the opponent to have a famous general. The most difficult thing is that the opponent has a famous general and has an advantage in military strength, which makes Chutian very uncomfortable.
Yang Ye lost 3,000 cavalry and can easily replenish.
"Since Yang Ye took the initiative to invade Xiacheng and test our strength, it means that they are almost ready for a decisive battle."
From Yang Ye's actions and the information detected by the scouts, Chu Tian probably guessed that the Xuzhou coalition forces had been assembled.
He also had to make arrangements for a decisive battle.
In summer, I have a cool vacation. I am planting flowers and plants in my own courtyard, and tidying up the courtyard in an orderly manner.
"My lord is holding a military meeting, please invite Miss Xia to attend the meeting."
The personal soldiers of the lord's mansion came to report.
"I want to participate too?"
"The lord said that all talented people must attend the meeting, and they will try their best to win Xuzhou."
"I'll go right away."
Chu Tian held a secret meeting in the lord's mansion to prepare for the deployment of the decisive battle in Xuzhou.
The purpose of attacking Xuzhou this time is to annex the four prefectures of Xuzhou and quadruple the territory of Langya!
Concerning the competition for the position of the state shepherd, Chutian made every effort to mobilize all talents, in order to increase the winning rate as much as possible.
The incident of Yang Wudi's invasion made Chutian realize that the opponent had the superiority in military force. When the two sides confronted each other, the superiority of the military force might offset the superiority of his own generals.
The so-called two fists are no match for the four hands.
As long as the opponent's main general does not faint, and fights steadily and steadily, the strength of the army will be fully manifested.
Almost all the senior officials of Langya Kingdom were summoned. As the city owner, Xue Yue was also recruited again. She was responsible for contacting free players in Xuzhou and obtaining information about the Xuzhou coalition through them. These players can be said to be spies.
Xue Yue felt helpless about being called up to fight again.
Chu Tian, Xia Xian Liang, and Xue Yue wanted to farm well, to make good money, and to be a city lord. As a result, the enemy attacked Langya again and again, forcing them to fight.
"Beijing State's Zhao Gongzi started to attack Jimo. He has no time to intervene in our internal struggles in Xuzhou, and I have no time to intervene in Beihai State. Therefore, I have reached an alliance agreement with them. We can appropriately reduce the force in the north and concentrate the main force in In the south. Zang Ba and Sun Guan led the troops to the south, and Sun Kang went to the north to take over the defense, with 5,000 troops."
"Xueyue moved to Juxian County, responsible for providing players with information, and also responsible for transporting food, weapons, and recruits from the north and central parts to the south, without having to participate in the front-line battle."
"The towns continue to recruit troops in order to replenish the losses on the front lines at any time."
"Xia Xia Liang, Li Xiuning is in charge of guarding Xia City, with a strength of 5,000 Women's Army, 5,000 New Army and 10,000 Xiang Yong."
"Liu Sandao is in charge of guarding Langya City, with a force of 5,000, also mainly recruits."
Chutian was the first to consider the choice of the guardian.
Xiacheng's defense is the top priority, because Chutian concentrated almost all the surplus food and weapons in Xiacheng. Once Xiacheng fell, it would be a fatal blow to the frontline army.
During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's Wuchao, which was hoarding food and grass, was set on fire by Cao Cao, causing chaos in Yuan Shao's army.
Xia Xia Liang's answer was clear: "My subordinates must defend Xiacheng with General Li!"
"Then the route and candidates for the attack. The main battlefield is in Tancheng, that is, the plains around Qiuxian County. The first stage of the battle is to destroy the main force of the Xuzhou coalition forces and attack Tancheng."
"The goal of the second stage is to besiege Xiapi, flood Xiapi, and capture Tao Qian alive."
"In the third stage, we will divide our troops to pacify Donghai and Xiapi, and attack Pengcheng and Guangling, and then Xuzhou can start."
"Zhou Yafu, the governor's main infantry, Li Guang, the governor's main longbowman, as the central army. A total of 30,000 people."
"The 1,500-strong white-horse cavalry of Governor Zhao Yun served as the white-horse reserve, and Hua Mulan and Xue Rengui each led 4,000 cavalry as the left and right flanks."
"Hua Xiong led 1,000 heavy cavalry, Zang Ba led 5,000-step archers, and Sun Guan led 3,000-step archers. Master Lu and I personally led 7,000-step archers and served as the main reserve team."
"Fang Xuanling urged the siege equipment battalion to transport the siege equipment to the bottom of Tancheng."
"Xu Sheng led a battalion of 10,000 naval divisions in charge of fighting for the control of the Yi River, transporting grain by waterway, and preventing the enemy from cutting off the grain route."
Chutian made deployments one by one. In order to go all out, he even went into battle himself.
Now Chutian's panel is no less than a gold-level historical military general.
Chutian also has the fanatical belief effect of the "great virtuous teacher", which can make soldiers more powerful in a short period of time.
This is the most luxurious lineup that Chutian can come up with so far.
Chutian couldn't divide his troops, because Langya's troops were only so small, and attacking southward along the river, commanding a commanding position, was undoubtedly the most labor-saving. In addition...
"The Mi family is willing to assist us in the fight for Xuzhou."
Chutian threw an important message.
Chutian's power has already touched the hometown of the Mi family.
Whether it was the last battle of Langya Kingdom, or the threat to the Mi family's hometown now, and the prestige of Chutian IV's third prince, they all became favorable conditions for the Mi family to fall to Chutian's side.
The support of the family is very important for Chutian to seize and stabilize Xuzhou.
Chutian is more like an outsider to them. If they want to quickly stabilize Xuzhou, they cannot do without the presence of a local family.
As for how to weaken the influence of the family, that is a matter of the future.
Fang Xuanling asked, "What is the attitude of other noble families?"
"Other families are still watching. If we win, they will fall to our side. If we lose, they have nothing to lose. They are a bunch of scumbags, but it has nothing to do with them personally, but the background of their family. They will."
Chu Tian had been dealing with the Xuzhou aristocratic family a lot, so he knew the urination of the family. After all, they were still doing it for their own interests.
If you have benefits, they will follow you, but if you have no benefits, they will be abandoned.
Moreover, the aristocratic family has both advantages and disadvantages among the major princes. Whoever occupied Xuzhou must befriend them, and they will never lose.
The Mi family can decide to stand in line before the decisive battle, and it is already a family that supports Chutian.
The Mi family's adventure also brought rewards.
Once Chu Tian takes over Xuzhou, there will be huge rewards for the Mi family.
If Chutian fails, the Mi family may be suppressed by Tao Qian.
"Tao Qian has a Yangzhou Danyang Soldier, which is a special kind of army."
When Chu Tian deployed his own troops, he also had to consider Tao Qian's.
There are not many special arms in the Xuzhou coalition. Among them, the Danyang soldiers brought by Tao Qian from Yangzhou are special arms. They are brave and good at fighting. They are always held by Tao Qian and used to suppress the major families.
"The main general is Xiang Yan, who may be good at defense."
"Their heavy cavalry number is about 1,500. They can use the heavy infantry's spear and shield phalanx, plus the shooting sound battalion's armor-piercing heavy arrows to break it."
"The number of cavalry is about 30,000, the navy is 20,000, and the remaining 100,000 are infantry."
Chu Tian and everyone deduced, and it is estimated that the opponent will focus on defense.
"If the other side is trapped in Tancheng, and an army is stationed outside the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to divide our troops to besiege the city and respond to the enemy at the same time."
Lu Zhi, who was invited by Chutian to attend the meeting, expressed his concerns.
"So we should try our best to provoke Tao Qian and invite him to a decisive battle on the plain. If he agrees, it is best, otherwise, we can use the navy to defeat Tao Qian's navy, then cut off his food supply, threaten Xiapi, and force Tao Qian to a decisive battle. .I think the food for the 200,000 army will be a big problem. Without the four counties and states to transport food, just relying on the food from Tancheng, they will collapse within a few months."
Chutian made the same preparations as Zhao Gongzi besieging Jimo.
If the opponent's main force is huddled in a solid city, they will be besieged until the opponent's food is exhausted.
The more troops Tancheng gathers, the more food it consumes. 200,000 horses, the daily consumption of food will be an astonishing number.
The food of Langya Kingdom relies on the Yi River for transportation. Even if the rear is attacked by the opponent's cavalry, it will not affect the food supply of the army of Langya Kingdom.
Therefore, it is very important to compete for the Yi River.
"Let Xu Sheng defeat the opponent's navy as soon as possible."
Chu Tian planned to send Xu Sheng to win his first victory, defeat Tao Qian's Yihe navy, and gain control of the Yihe.
"The Admiral asked to fight!"
Zhao Yun volunteered to take part in the naval battle.
"The last general's archery might be useful."
Li Guang also invited to fight at the same time.
They are not good at water battles, but that doesn't mean they can't participate in battles, just that their stats will drop.
In naval battles, fighters can still play an important role.
"Xue Li, Zhao Yun, Li Guang, the three of you assisted General Xu Sheng, defeated Tao Qian's navy, and achieved the first merit for our country of Langya."
"Yes!"
Chu Tian appointed Xu Sheng as the captain of the navy.
Even though Xue Li, Zhao Yun, and Li Guang are more powerful than Xu Sheng, they are really not Xu Sheng's opponents when they are in command of the navy.
In addition, the deputy general of the Navy, Sun Liuwan, was also dispatched by Chutian...
Sun Liuwan is not very capable, but he has won a lot of military exploits last time, and he is regarded as an ordinary general with good luck.
Xue Li, Zhao Yun, and Li Guang also have the bonus of "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu", which can shock the opponent's morale and make the enemy fearless.
The three of them immediately went to Liangshan Town, while the others were ready to go out and mobilize their troops.
As long as the navy takes control of the Yi River and ensures that there is no danger to the food route, the army of the Langya Kingdom will be able to descend along the Yi River and attack Tancheng.
"Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. Our Langya Navy has not made a great contribution until now. This time, we are the main force."
Xu Sheng summoned 10,000 navy soldiers and sailors to prepare for the southern expedition.
This 10,000-navy battalion is now the main force for conquering the Yihe River, but in the future it will be the naval base for the Yangtze River, Yellow Sea, and South China Sea!
Xue Li, Zhao Yun, and Li Guang came, and they each sat on a squat warship. There was a team of fourth-order Soochow navy infantry archers on board.
The fierce generals can only stare blankly during the water battle. Unless they fight hand-to-hand, they can exert 60-70% of their strength.
Xu Sheng came to the largest warship, and he wanted to command himself: "Our greatest advantage is to go downstream."
In Xiapi City, because Cao Bao, who was incompetent in commanding land troops and horses, was transferred by Tao Qian to replace Mi Fang in command of the navy, he transported the food from Xiapi City to Tancheng, which was located on the front line.
In addition to troops, the battlefield is also about population and supplies.
Cao Bao took 20,000 people along with Wang Lang as a military advisor.
The combination of two people escorted the food and went upstream, moving slightly slowly.
After they left, the spies of Xiapi City had already informed Xiacheng of the news.
Xia Cheng told Liangshan Town again.
Thirty stern warships, 60 walking warships, and sentry ships piling up straw and kerosene, moored in Liangshan Town, left at night, and went downstream to block Cao Bao and Wang Lang. sailor.
Yang Ye returned to the coalition camp and informed Xiang Yan of his encounter with the Langya cavalry, so that he knew the strength of the Langya country.
Yang Ye's actions this time are also a test.
After hearing this, Xiang Yan said, "I have confidence in the strength of Langya's cavalry. If we join forces in the next battle, there is an 80% chance of victory."
