Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 963: Xuzhou beacon fires again
In Quxian, Xuzhou, the warships of the Jiangdong Army appeared on the sea, and the merchants and civilians in Quxian panicked.
The number of ships of the Jiangdong Army has reached thousands!
Hundreds of soldiers stood on all decks of the ship, with a chilling light.
Bong Que, Zhou Yu and Xie Xuan stood on the city wall, they could see hundreds of merchant ships in Quxian Port, as well as the panicked people at the wharf.
"Xuzhou is the basic plan of Chu Zimou. Its main force was transferred to the Central Plains to attack Jingxiang, which is a good opportunity to attack Xuzhou and Qingzhou."
Tongjak's Jiangdong navy is also rampant in coastal areas.
Zhou Yu, successively, and Lv Meng, as naval commanders, have bonuses to the fleet, improve the fleet's sailing ability, and reduce losses during the voyage.
"Evacuate to the city!"
The Mi family of a wealthy family in Qu County, and its owner Mi Zhu is at the port, ready to lead a merchant fleet to trade with Dongying.
When he saw the Jiangdong Army's Suzaku battle flag appear, Mi Zhu's face paled.
As one of the senior officials of the Xia army, Mi Zhu naturally knew the flag of the Wu army.
The Fubo Army is currently crusades against the Koryo Kingdom, and it is impossible to appear here.
The large merchant ship originally loaded with goods was abandoned by Mi Zhu and a group of merchants, and the strong man broke his wrist.
If you are captured by the Wu army, you may be killed or blackmailed by the Wu army.
As a commercial port, Qu County has basically no fortifications, because Chutian believes that attacking is the best defense.
This is also the first time Qu County has been attacked by the enemy.
Faced with Wu's army of at least 200,000 troops, the city defense army of several hundred in Qu County was completely powerless to defend.
It's not so much a city defense army as it is just a yamen, who usually maintains law and order.
Quxian's teleportation formation, the first batch of 500 women's troops sent over came out, and Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang strode out, leading the women's army to take over the county government in Quxian.
Li Xiuning was designated as the Central Protector by Chu Tian, and was already a high-ranking guard of the Imperial Guard. When the war broke out, Li Xiuning's rank was much higher than that of the county magistrate, and he could even order the governor.
"Master Zhonghu Jun, Wu Jun... Wu Jun has thousands of warships, at least 100,000 people! We only have 500 low-level soldiers in Quxian County, and less than 100 horses, so we can't defend at all!"
The county magistrate of Qu County was not only pale, but bloodless.
For a long time, the magistrate of Qu County only needs to develop the economy, but this time a powerful enemy strikes, Qu County is at stake.
Li Xiuning came to reassure people: "Don't panic, the teleportation formations in various counties in Xuzhou have been occupied by King Xia, and tens of thousands of reinforcements are gathering in Quxian, and the city will definitely be protected."
Mi Zhu also came to the county government office: "Our Mi family is willing to donate 1 million taels of silver for military supplies and recruit 3,000 strong men to guard the city."
The county magistrates of Qu County could not help but be moved.
This is one million taels of silver!
Mi Zhu directly donated one million taels of silver to defend Quxian County because the Mi family was under threat.
The arrogance of the Mi family is second to none in Xuzhou.
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang hold high positions in the Chutian forces, and Chutian also intends to hand over the trade of Dongying to the Mi family, so the Mi family is rich enough to rival the country, and even the magistrate in Qu County will see the Mi family's face.
Because Li Xiuning is Xia Xia Liang's bodyguard, he doesn't need to rely on the Mi family's breath, clasping his fists and saying, "There is Mr. Lao Mi."
"Without King Xia, there would be no prosperity of the Mi family, only one million taels of silver."
Mi Zhu waved his hand.
Compared with the huge financial resources of the Chutian forces, the one million taels of silver from the Mi family is really nothing, and the Chutian forces' military salaries and military supplies are as much as tens of millions of silver every month.
Li Xiuning personally came to defend the city, and the Women's Army came from the teleportation array one after another.
The teleportation array can transmit a limited number of people every day, about 10,000 people.
The merchant ships moored at the port were swept away by the Jiangdong Army and lost a lot of cargo.
Compared with their own lives, although Mi Zhu and other businessmen feel distressed about their losses, they still think their own lives are more important.
"Under the development of Chu Zimou, Xuzhou is really rich to rival the country..."
Tongque saw that the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army robbed the ships of Quxian County, and each ship was loaded with goods that were about to be transported to Dongying. The goods of each merchant ship might be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver or even more.
There is no doubt that Xuzhou is now the most prosperous state, because Chutian has built a lot of special buildings in Langya, which have various bonuses.
Chutian's ambition was not only to unify the Han Empire, but also to control Goryeo, Dongying, and America from Xiacheng, so he never gave up Xiacheng.
Chang'an and Luoyang are located in the hinterland of the Han Empire, and it is the best choice to control the Han Empire, but as the importance of sea control increases, Chutian's vision needs to be more long-term.
However, when the enemy turned into Wu Jun with a huge fleet, the previously peaceful Xuzhou became a battlefield again.
Jiangdong Navy directly bypassed the Jianghuai line of defense and approached the country of Langya.
If the Xiacheng of Langya country is captured, then, for the Chutian forces, it will not only lose a huge city, but also the morale of all legions will drop.
"Only the looting of Xuzhou merchant ships is enough to make up for the military expenses of this Northern Expedition. The North Jiangsu Plain is conducive to cavalry operations, and even if we capture this place, it will be difficult to hold on. Infantry and crossbow defense."
Tongque gave up attacking Quxian, believing that the North Jiangsu Plain was easy to attack and difficult to defend.
This is also the most troublesome part of the Northern Expedition. Even if Xuzhou is captured, it is difficult to defend.
However, Bronze Sparrow also has a choice, and that is the hilly terrain of Shandong.
The news of the Jiangdong Navy's attack on Quxian County and the looting of merchant ships spread throughout Xuzhou, and people panicked for a while.
Xuzhou has been without fire for ten years!
Xihai County in the eastern part of Langya Kingdom, tens of thousands of Beifu troops went ashore and easily captured this defenseless county town, threatening Xiacheng!
The county magistrate of Xihai County had already started migrating people to Ju County before the arrival of the Soochow navy. When the Soochow navy arrived, the few low-level soldiers in the area fled without a fight.
The 600,000 Imperial Guards originally assembled in Xuchang had to withdraw to Langya State one after another, interfering with Chutian's plan to capture Nanyang County.
"At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Wu attacked Qi, and the two sides were already at war on the sea. Tongjae wanted to imitate the war between the State of Wu and the State of Qi, attacking Xuzhou and Qingzhou from the sea, forcing me to return to the division to defend and give up attacking Jingzhou. .It's all the same as your judgment a few days ago."
After the Jiangdong Navy has disappeared, the Jiangdong Navy has several possible attack points.
Chu Tian, Xia Xia Liang, Sun Bin and others all imagined that the Jiangdong navy would attack Xuzhou, but when the Bronze Sparrow really crossed the sea to attack Xuzhou and Qingzhou, Chu Tian was still shocked by his generosity.
The current Bronze Sparrow has a different courage than Sun Quan in history.
Bronze Sparrow's offensive opened and closed, swallowing Qingzhou and Xuzhou.
"On the battlefield of the Koryo Kingdom, Marshall of the United States sent the Fire Dragon Army, and the shogun Oda Nobunaga sent the Shimadzu family and the Tachibana family to support the Koryo King Li Chenggui. The Koryo country's counterattack may be extremely ferocious."
It wasn't just the Jiangdong navy who attacked Xuzhou across the sea, the war in the Koryo Kingdom fell into a stage of stalemate after the initial devastation.
"We have limited knowledge of the United States, and it seems that we need to buy off a group of players in the United States to get the intelligence we want. They may be powerful enemies in the future."
It was the first time Chutian heard of the Fire Dragon Army.
In other civilized areas, Chutian can also pass the hero rankings and probably know their strength.
However, there are no historical heroes in the American Civilization Area, they only have powerful units, so Chutian is also elusive about the strength of the American Civilization Area.
The United States has established fire dragons, griffins, crusaders and other legions~IndoMTL.com~ Among them, the fire dragon legion is a legion based on dragoons.
Tachibana Doxue and Shimazu Yoshihiro are considered decent generals, and the Toyo Samurai have the characteristics of "Bushido", so the outbreak of combat power is not weak, at least more powerful than the soldiers of Goryeo.
Tao Dun was captured on the battlefield of Koryo Kingdom, but Chu Tian didn't take it seriously, because the life and death of Ta Dun was not important and would not affect the overall situation.
The injured Xu Sheng was transferred back to Qingzhou by Chutian to recuperate.
"Order Le Yi to capture Xijing as soon as possible, occupy the northern territory of the Koryo Kingdom, and confront Li Chenggui."
Because the United States and the Eastern Shogunate intervened strongly in the Koryo Kingdom, Chutian would not be able to destroy Li Chenggui for a while, so he retreated, occupied the northern part of the Koryo Kingdom, and divided the Koryo Kingdom into two.
The premise of occupying half of the country of Korea is that Le Yi can capture Xijing in Korea as soon as possible, and use Xijing as the base of the Liaodong Army in Korea.
The coalition consisting of Li Chenggui, Brand, Tachibana Doxue, and Shimazu Yoshihiro has begun to go north to support Jiang Handzan, the defender of Xijing.
In the mountains of Uiju Castle and Anju Castle in Korea, an uprising broke out, and Le Yi's retreat was unstable.
So Chutian ordered one after another: "Let Li Mu's Monan Army and Prince Yan's Mobei Army go to Gaoli to support Le Yi."
Almost all of the legions set up by Chutian were dispatched to overwhelm each powerful enemy.
Chutian's 600,000 Imperial Guard troops were divided into two groups, returning to Xuzhou and Qingzhou all the way, and staying in the Central Plains all the way to attack Nanyang County with Wu Qi.
The fire at Bowangpo disappeared, and the armies of Wu Qi, Wei Wuji, and Cao Ren marched south to Wancheng.
The reinforcements from Xinye, Xiangyang, and Jiangxia also aimed at Wancheng and supported Wancheng.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses entering Nanyang County one after another!
Chu Tian summoned Wu Qi when he left: "The war in Nanyang County will be handed over to you, take Wancheng and Xinye within half a year, and return to me in Xiacheng."
