Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 463: The Battle of Hebei begins!
"Zhong De greets the lord and colleagues."
Cheng Yu led Yanzhou officials to greet Chutian and his party.
In order to attack Jizhou this time, Chu Tian led a group of civil servants and generals directly to Puyang to prepare to cross the Yellow River north.
Wei Qing, Cao Cao, Le Yi, Chen Qingzhi and other army commanders all wore strong capes and hunted.
Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Yang Ye, Yang Yanzhao, Taishi Ci and other fierce generals are brave and good at fighting.
Joan of Arc, Liang Hongyu, and the Four Tigers of the Northern Army of the Guards were even more eager to try.
After giving birth to her child, Hua Mulan went out with Chutian again and was unwilling to stay in the backyard to watch her family. She was more willing to stay on the battlefield.
Hua Mulan is wearing leather armor and has two Tang knives hanging around her waist. She is as sharp as ever. She once again commanded the reconnaissance corps and followed Chutian around like a few years ago.
Cheng Yu governed Yanzhou for Chutian and appeased the family and commoners. When he saw the old master Cao Cao, he just nodded.
Because the Chutian forces promote the separation of military and government, unless there is a shortage of talents, it is impossible for Cao Cao to manage both military and internal affairs at the same time, and is only in charge of his Tiger and Leopard Corps.
"Xu Sheng, the last general, has prepared a grain ship and a two-month supply of grain for the 300,000-strong army. As long as the lord gives an order, the grain and forage can be transported to Liyang."
Xu Sheng came to Dongjun to gather all the ships and transport the military supplies.
The water volume of Baigou was originally not enough to use large grain ships, but because of Xu You's suggestion, Qishui was diverted to Baigou, so that the water level of Baigou rose, so that it could pass. Zhao Long did not pay attention to Baigou, so Xu Sheng's grain-carrying ship could run amok in Baigou.
In this crusade against Jizhou, Chutian only had time to assemble an army of 300,000. In the rear, barracks in various places are recruiting soldiers and horses to form Shenji battalions and other arms to supplement the losses on the front line.
"The Qingzhou Army in Gaotang was ordered to prepare for crossing the river in Gaotang, and to contain Tian Qi in the plain. The secret order was only to make an attack trend. Unless Sun Bin and Tian Dan left the plain county, they could cross the Yellow River in the north."
"Let Sang Hongyang preside over the finances of the rear. When recruiting troops, I want to maintain the normal operation of the finances."
When Chu Tian came to Dongjun, Yu Jin and Sang Hongyang were notified immediately.
Yu Jin needed 40,000 people from the Qingzhou Army to contain Sun Bin and Tian Dan, but it was not easy. Fortunately, the Yellow River served as a barrier.
Chu Tian personally commanded the army and attacked Yecheng head-on.
His personal visit to Jizhou will cause uproar throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The Jingzhou Army, Jiangdong Army, and Guanzhong Army will all be ready to move.
When Cao Cao fought Guandu, everyone wanted to overthrow Cao Cao from the rear.
It wasn't that Liu Biao didn't think about attacking Cao Cao, but was thwarted by Jingnan's rebellion. Sun Ce even thought of attacking Xuchang by surprise, but was assassinated by Xu Gong's disciples. Most counties and counties in Yuzhou responded to Yuan Shao.
The generals in Guanzhong expressed their neutrality, neither helping Yuan nor Cao.
Zhang Xiu wanted to help Yuan, but Jia Xu persuaded him to help Cao.
Chutian faced the same situation as Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu. When he was about to confront Zhao Long, the great prince of Hebei, some princes were ready to move.
Xu You is by Chutian's side, full of confidence, Chutian wants to take Jizhou, and must reuse him: "If you want to capture Yecheng, you must surround Yecheng and break Handan, otherwise Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou will reinforce the army in Handan. Assemble and continue to support Yecheng, and the war will be far away.”
"Very good. How long will it take to capture Ye City?"
"Trial and match defense, at least three months, as many as one year."
Xu You's judgment made Chu Tian frown slightly.
Yecheng is a huge city, and it is the first city north of the Yellow River. Its strength is second only to those of Chang'an and Xiangyang.
Shen Pei is also regarded as a defender. There are also Gao Jong and Han Zhanhu guarding Yecheng. Yecheng's recruiting speed is not slow, and he has a certain ability to counterattack.
Xia Xia Liang has already taken over the intelligence agency: "According to the information obtained from Yecheng, Zhao Long has hoarded enough food and grass for a year in Yecheng. Some of the food and grass have been consumed in the past few months, and there should be about eight to nine. Forage for the month. If it was just a siege, it would take less than a year to capture the city of Ye.”
"Besieged for eight to nine months, I am afraid that Zhao Long has already captured Taiyuan."
Chutian was deeply troubled by the iron hedgehog-like city of Ye.
The level of Ye City is higher than that of ordinary cities, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Especially Yecheng was backed by Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, which combined the strength of the three states to resist the army of Chutian.
Three states, each of which draws 150,000 troops, has 450,000 troops.
Some of Chutian's troops stayed behind in the four states to guard against the enemies of Jiangdong and Jingzhou, so the local troops were at a disadvantage.
However, even so, Chutian still dared to take the initiative to attack Hebei.
The soldiers of the Mongolian Empire have reached the edge of Monan, and the lords who are testing Monan will be extremely passive if Chutian does not calm down Hebei as soon as possible.
If Chutian had half the state of the Eastern Han Dynasty, then even one person would have the strength to resist the Mongol Empire.
This battle must be won.
"Is the number in the city enough to grab a city gate and welcome the army into the city?"
"The success rate of attacking the city gate by using the inner army is extremely low. Gao Qiong has already ordered his soldiers to patrol the city."
"The White-robed Legion is the vanguard and arrives at the foot of Ye City. Anyone who leaves Ye City will be captured."
Chutian once again used the White Pao Army as the vanguard.
The North China Plain, except for several major rivers and the Taihang Mountains, is almost a flat river.
Most of the strategies appear extremely pale in front of the galloping white robe army.
As a prince of the Central Plains, Chutian has enough cavalry to fight with the princes of Hebei.
"Take orders!"
Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, and Zhao Yun, with a roll of white robes, strode meteors, led the white robe army, and crossed the river first!
If it's winter now, even if you don't need a ferry, you can cross the Yellow River on the ice.
In the Battle of Jingkang, Jin Bing chose to go south quickly in the cold winter, and quickly withdraw from the Central Plains after the ice and snow melted.
It is summer now, and the winter of the Battle of Jingkang is still a few months away.
In the past few months, Chutian's goal was to capture Yecheng and then divide his troops to pacify Hebei.
After the Battle of Guandu, it took Cao Cao several years to completely eliminate the Yuan family's influence north of the Yellow River.
Chu Tian believes that his speed should be faster than Boss Cao, after all, his team is stronger.
The White Pao Legion is full of 30,000 soldiers. A group of soldiers were killed in the Battle of Yuzhou. At present, there are only more than 20,000 cavalry troops, and it is too late to replenish.
20,000 cavalrymen were divided into 20 groups and transported to the north of the Yellow River with men and horses.
If it wasn't for Chutian's foresight to capture Liyang City on the other side, the Jizhou army would have been able to attack halfway.
After Chen Qingzhi, the white-robed military god, joined the Chutian faction, he has been relatively low-key and his personality dictates.
Chen Qingzhi is as reliable as Zhou Yafu, but he doesn't have much sense of existence at ordinary times. When he actually uses it, Chutian is very reassured about Chen Qingzhi.
Chen Qingzhi camped on the other side of the river. The next day, more than 20,000 cavalrymen of the White Pao Army had assembled and marched towards Yecheng.
20,000 white horses, forming a white wave, rolled up dust in the North China Plain!
Xu You followed Chu Tian across the river and was shocked when he saw the white robe army, which were all silver armor, white robes, and white horses.
He had never seen such a large and neat cavalry under Yuan Shao.
The White Robe Legion has an amazing momentum and can deter the enemy!
In addition, Xue Rengui and Zhao Long will lead the way. When the enemy encounters the White Pao Legion, they are often defeated with a single blow!
Said that Tang, under the attack of the White Pao Army, did not dare to fight in the wild.
Chu Tian came to Liyang City and met Zhou Yafu and Du Ruhui—the two were kept outside by Chu Tian for a long time, but they made a lot of contributions in pacifying Hebei.
"It is precisely because of the help of the two that I can gain a firm foothold in Hebei. After pacifying Hebei, I will definitely be promoted and become a marquis."
Chu Tian comforted the two, which made Zhou Yafu and Du Ruhui quite excited.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
Chu Tian treats meritorious officials well.
"We, the Four Tigers of the Northern Army, please lead the Five Schools of the Northern Army to assist the White Pao Army in attacking Yecheng!"
Mi Fang, on behalf of the Four Tigers of the Northern Army, actively invited to fight.
Mi Fang accumulated credit for the national war and pacified Yuzhou, and Zhonglang Jiang was promoted to general. He wanted to fight in Hebei and climb higher.
"Xing Daorong's injury has not yet healed, so the four tigers of the Northern Army should not attack lightly for the time being."
Chu Tian knew that although Mi Fang's abilities were all lacking, the victory was that he would be active in every battle. The Four Tigers of the Northern Army dared to go all out.
Mi Fang was nurtured by Chutian, and her confidence was high.
Since Mi Fang's debut, she has never failed. She captured Jingzhou General Cai He alive, with unstoppable power...
In the gorge of the Taihang Mountains, a cavalry quickly passed through the pass of the Taihang Mountains, from the direction of Shangdang County, via Maocheng and Shexian County to aid Yecheng, and it was galloping!
Guan Yu is carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and his mount is a king-level warhorse from Youzhou, which travels eight hundred times a day!
Behind Guan Yu, 20,000 cavalrymen traveled day and night, abandoning their baggage.
According to the deployment of the military advisor Wang Meng, Chu Zimou was not given the opportunity to surround Yecheng, so as to ensure that the grain and grass from the counties and counties in Jizhou were transported to Yecheng, so that Yecheng could stand firm.
Otherwise, if the food and grass are exhausted, even Zhang Xun, Tian Dan, Shen Pei and other generals will not be able to defend Yecheng.
At the same time, Wang Meng wanted to take a gamble. Taking advantage of the time difference, he sent Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and King Lanling to attack the Yanzhou or Xuzhou troops that might appear on the outskirts of Yecheng!
"Second brother, if Chu Zimou dares to cross the river and come to Jizhou, let's see if my snake spear won't stab him to death!"
Zhang Fei holds the rein in one hand and the zhangba snake spear in the other. He is imposing and similar to Dian Wei. Zhang Fei became violent, and he was also a humanoid beast!
"Third brother, the two military advisors advised us to be careful, and retreat immediately if it is unfavorable. I think the two military advisors have been overly concerned. I can still take the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand troops, not to mention the The two of us."
Guan Yu didn't even hold the reins, but stroked his beard and beard with his hands, paying little attention to the advice of Wang Meng and Chen Xi.
"The two generals, Xuande and the military advisor repeatedly told me, have you forgotten?"
The King of Lanling saw that Guan Zhang and Zhang were too confident in their own strength, so he took out the words of Liu Bei and Wang Meng and reminded Guan Zhang.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would still listen to Liu Bei's words to some extent, so they calmed down a bit.
Twenty thousand cavalry broke through the Taihang Mountains and drove directly to Yecheng.
The Yecheng defender will be Gao Jong, Han Zhanhu, and Shen Pei. Gao Jong's political value is extremely high, and he is also a leader of the army.
Shen Pei was responsible for winning over the Hebei family, strengthening the city defense, and making Yecheng an iron wall.
Han Zhanhu provides protection by force, Chutian's Nei Ying wants to assassinate Gao Jiong and Shen Pei, but will be killed by Han Zhanhu and his Sui cavalry.
The three of them cooperated with each other, and the city of Ye was impregnable.
Basically, as much food and grass as Ye City has, you can keep it for as long as you want.
Unlike the native princes, the player princes will not starve the entire city to death in order to defend the city. When they run out of food, they surrender.
This is an unwritten tacit understanding between the feudal lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"My lord, cavalry, white cavalry!"
The city gate officer hurriedly reported to the court.
The matchmaking fire is rushing to the city.
Zhao Long and Shen Pei have been in a personal relationship for several years. Before Yuan Shao came to Hebei, Zhao Long befriended Shen Pei, and now he reuses the Hebei family, Shen Pei's loyalty to Zhao Long is probably higher than Yuan Shao.
Zhao Long left him to guard the city of Ye and tried his best to do his best. Hearing this, he did his part.
I saw a white cavalry swept in from the outskirts of Ye City!
Looking around, all are white oceans, silver armor and white robes reflect the sunlight, and the eyes of Shen Pei and the guards are aching.
Although the White Robes did not do it on purpose, the White Robes were indeed very dazzling. The white-robed legion not only crushed the momentum, but also brought physical damage to the defenders...
"This cavalry corps is really ostentatious. It is said that Gongsun Zan of Western Liaoning is the white horse general, but now it seems that these fierce generals in the city are the real white horse generals~IndoMTL.com~ The trial partner rubbed it. Painful eyes, avoid looking directly at the White Robes.
Gao Jong and Han captured Hu and climbed the city to observe Chutian's vanguard.
Chutian's previous expeditions were mostly led by the white robe army, and many counties and counties directly looked at the wind as pointed by the white robe.
Unless a fortified city, no one can stand guard in the visual shock brought by the mighty white ocean.
"Sir Gao, the last commander is willing to lead a cavalry to break out of the city!"
Han Chuhu saw that the white robe army was strong and courageous, so he took the initiative to invite Gao Jong, who was in charge of Yecheng's defense, to fight.
"No. The enemy is menacing, obviously coming prepared."
Gao Jong stops Han's dangerous attempt to capture the tiger.
According to his information, the White Pao Army was the main cavalry army under Chu Tian, and the three generals were outstanding.
"Garrison camp and occupy nearby important places, villages and towns."
Chen Qingzhi did not lead the white-robed army to show off his might under Yecheng. He wanted to prepare for the arrival of the army in the rear, including but not limited to selecting the camp location of the 300,000 army, protecting food routes, occupying important positions, and observing the defenders. False...
"Liu Bei's army is marching non-stop to the south to support Yecheng. Although we can't get the exact progress of its advance, we have to prepare for the worst... According to my estimation, if it sends a light cavalry with light equipment, it will be fine soon. Yecheng will be resisted, and we must guard against it.”
Chen Qingzhi was thoughtful, and repeatedly urged Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun to step up patrols and spread out scouts.
As Chen Qing expected, the cavalry of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and King Lanling crossed the Taihang Mountains, less than two hundred miles away from the White Pao Army!
