Chapter 959: Wu Qi goes into battle

"There are thousands of ships in Jiangdong that have entered the Yangtze River and are missing? Yue Fei and Chen Deng were ordered to send soldiers to patrol along the river. If the Jiangdong army attacked Guangling County, it would clear the field and wait for reinforcements. ”

Chu Tian knew that Jiangdong's Tongque Naval Division was strong, and his Fubo Army had only expanded for one year and could not compete with the Jiangdong Naval Division, so Chu Tian chose to attack Jingzhou instead of attacking Jiangdong.

Jiangdong was Chutian's last choice.

Tongque was unwilling to die a slow death, so he chose to send troops to attack instead of defend, and Jianghuai was shaken.

After the Jiangdong Naval Division entered the Yangtze River, the loss of news made the Xia army even more uneasy.

In the field, it is impossible to use the player system to deliver messages, which means that even if the scouts of the Xia army infiltrate the Jiangdong Naval Division, it will be difficult to transmit information.

"Cao Ren was blocked by Bowangpo, with 20,000 casualties!"

"Guo Ziyi is worthy of being a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, but Cao Ren only went to consume his troops, and Wu Qi's Wei Wushu had already passed through Ye County. Let Cao Ren step back and replace him with Wu Qi. ”

Chu Tian didn't think that Cao Ren could easily defeat Guo Ziyi, and the military commander responsible for defeating Guo Ziyi was Wu Qi and his Wei Wushu.

In the summer, Liang went out with the army and sat in front of the desk.

On the desk was a huge topographical map of mountains and rivers, on which the scope and strength of each force were marked.

The territory of Chutian extends to Jeju Island in the east, Dawan Kingdom in the west, Jianghuai in the south, and Siberia in the north.

The Xia army had 600,000 troops attacking Goryeo, and the situation was staggered. Le Yi has already captured Uiju and is besieging Anju. The Fubo army landed near the Goryeo King City and confronted Yi Sung-gye.

In general, the situation in Goryeo, the Xia army was on the offensive, and Le Yi was attacking step by step. The Goryeo Kingdom was forced to use the tactics of crowds, recruited the young men of the Goryeo Kingdom, and used all the strength of the whole country to resist the Liaodong Army.

On the Western Front, the Xiliang Army and the Guanzhong Army, also 600,000 troops, had begun to march towards Hanzhong.

On the middle line, the Central Plains Army and the Praetorian Guard, a total of 900,000 troops, overwhelmed the city with black clouds and attacked Nanyang County.

On the eastern front, Jianghuai had an army of 200,000, while Cao Cao's Hebei army of 300,000 went to Jianghuai one after another, with a total of 500,000 troops.

In other words, after resting for a period of time, the Xia army sent 2.6 million troops at the same time to attack everywhere.

In summer, the cool and slender jade fingers crossed the topographic map, and finally stayed in Xuzhou.

"Guo Ziyi's Tang army is so difficult to attack......"

Cao Ren once again rushed into the enemy formation and fought with the Tang army, killing a thousand people.

Guo Ziyi relied on the mountain situation to constantly counterattack Cao Ren's iron-walled army, forcing Cao Ren to retreat repeatedly.

"Let me lead the cavalry to attack the Tang Army again!"

Xiahoudun held a war spear in his hand and was very unwilling.

Among the Tang army, two fierce generals, Qin Qiong and Xu Chu, charged into battle from time to time, attacked the Xia army, killed hundreds of people and then retreated, and could charge into battle two or three times a day, causing the morale of Cao Ren's army to decline and unable to really defeat Guo Ziyi.

Xiahoudun fought with Qin Qiong and Xu Chu many times, but could not defeat any of them, on the contrary, Xiahoudun was at a disadvantage and had to rely on Tai Shici and Cao Ren and Cao Hong to force Qin Qiong and Xu Chu back.

Overall, the Cao Ren army was at a disadvantage, and there were almost no special troops except for the cowardly Xue army.

"The task of our vanguard has been completed, and Wu Qi's Wei Wushu has arrived."

Cao Ren thinks that he and Guo Ziyi are fighting, and with a group of low-level troops, they can support it to the point where it is now, which is enough.

After all, Guo Ziyi is not an ordinary general.

"When Wu rises, Guo Ziyi will most likely choose to retreat and avoid his edge."

The full favor who came to Bowangpo to supervise the army talked to himself.

He trusts Wu Qi very much.

During the imperial civil war, Wu Qi attacked Hedong and Guanzhong, and he was always calm, either winning or drawing, and there was no time for losing.

Only in the Fifth National War, besieged by a group of Roman and Macedonian generals, Wu Qi suffered a loss.

That's nothing, because when Alexander the Great was at his peak, he was also a saint-level commander, plus a group of famous Roman generals, it was really difficult for one person to support.

In the battle of Bowangpo in front of him, Guo Ziyi, the commander of the Tang army, was at a disadvantage, and it was difficult to resist Wu Qi no matter what.

Fangcheng Xia Road is a narrow road, but it is not as narrow and difficult as Shu Road, and it can still allow the army to advance, but it cannot accommodate the 900,000 army......

"The Xia army has retreated!"

"Victory belongs to our Tang King!"

Guo Ziyi's Tang army cheered.

It is said that although Tang only has one county, he enjoys the power and calls himself the king of Tang in his own territory, and his army also calls himself Tang Jun.

Guo Ziyi did not relax like ordinary soldiers because of the temporary retreat of the Xia army.

The Xia army gathered 900,000 troops in Xuchang and spent countless silver taels, and it was impossible to give up attacking Nanyang County because of the loss of 20,000 people.

Sure enough, after Cao Ren's legion pulled out the camp and retreated, another legion of the Xia army replaced Cao Ren's camp!

A team of heavy-armored infantry soldiers in sharp armor arrived, and a murderous aura permeated the battlefield of Bowangpo.

This legion was menacing and slaughtered.

Tang Jun, who had temporarily relaxed, suddenly felt nervous.

It was only the vanguard of the Xia army that fought with them before, but now it is the main force of the Xia army that has arrived!

"Wei, Wu, pawn!"

Guo Ziyi couldn't help but be awe-struck when he saw the arrival of this elite heavy armored army.

Wu Qi's Wei Wushu is numerous, and it is a high-level army, and the number of Wei Wushu alone is almost the same as Guo Ziyi's troops!

There weren't many people who could fight Wu Qi with the same forces.

The terrain in the south was not conducive to cavalry combat, but it had no suppressive effect on Wu Qi's Wei Wushu.

In other words, the Xia army relied heavily on Wu Qi's infantry to conquer the south of the Yangtze River.

As soon as Wu Qi's Wei Wushu army came, they quickly launched a fierce attack on the Tang army, whose morale and physical strength had been exhausted!

Rows of Wei soldiers pressed towards the Tang army's camp, holding the Divine Arm Bow or Zhemu Bow, and shot a rain of arrows at the Tang Army!

Wei Wushu, who was in the front row, held a big shield with both hands, forming a copper wall and an iron wall, pressing towards the Tang army step by step.

Tang Jun felt a suffocating sense of oppression.

Wu Qi's legion was mainly composed of high-ranking troops Wei Wushu, assisted by low-level cavalry, which was different from Cao Ren's Tiebi Army, which mainly focused on low-level troops.

Chu Tian ordered Wu Qi to replace Cao Ren at this time, just to win Bowang in one go.

The overwhelming army of Wei Wushu is desperate, and there is no end in sight.

The sense of oppression of the Wei Wushu Legion was really terrifying, and even though they did not launch a charge, they could already feel their indomitable progress.

The dull sound of war drums echoed on the battlefield, and with the oppressive Wei Wushu, the Tang army's breathing was already somewhat stagnant.

Finally, the two armies fought, Wei Wushu marched forward in unison under the war drums, and the Tang army soon began to retreat, and Wei Wushu's momentum forced the other party to retreat!

"No, it's hard to compete with it, so you can only set fire to delay the Xia army and buy time."

Guo Ziyi's scalp is numb.

Wu Qi's personal ability is not mentioned for the time being, the elite army composed of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers is simply difficult to resist, not to mention that Guo Ziyi's army was consumed by Cao Ren A lot of troops.

The Tang army began to abandon the Bowangpo defense line, realizing that it was difficult to defend Fangcheng Xia Dao, so they had to burn hay and set fire to the forest, delaying the Xia army's marching speed and buying time for the Song army and the Wu army to reinforce it.

The fire spread in the Bowang area.

When Chu Tian saw the fire at Bowangpo, he seemed to recall the battle of the Central Plains a few years ago.

At that time, Chutian annexed Yuzhou, and said that Tang rushed to Nanyang County, saying that Tang burned Bowang, so that Chutian knew the difficulty and retreated.

And this time, Chu Tian no longer retreated, but chose to wait for the fire to disappear and continue to march towards Wancheng.

In Xinye City, Yang Shilang's brother-in-law Cai Mao urged Liu Pan and Huang Zhong to step up preparations for soldiers, horses, grain and grass, echoing Wancheng from afar.

If Chu Tian wanted to attack Wancheng, he would have to face a threat from the direction of Xinye.

There were 70,000 defenders in Shinno, which was actually quite a lot.

"The lord will personally raise an army of 200,000 and set off from Xiangyang to join us in the army, so there is no need to be afraid. Not only that, but King Wu would also send reinforcements to jointly defend against the Xia army. As long as the Xia army cannot capture Wancheng, the Xia King will retreat. We are thousands of miles in Jingzhou, with thousands of good generals and millions of armor, why should we be afraid of the Xia army!? ”

Cai Mao gathers the Shinye defenders to boost morale.

The Jingzhou army once fought with the Xia army, but it was defeated at that time, and Cai Zhong, Cai and his brothers were also captured by the Xia army, so at this time they fought with the Xia army again, and the Jingzhou army had not yet started the war, and the morale generally dropped by 5-10 points.

Cai Mao had to find a way to boost morale.

The existence of morale makes generals have to think about how to maintain morale at all times, and it is not possible to directly recruit soldiers to rush to the top.

Chu Tian brought 900,000 troops, which was a blow to the morale of the enemy army.

After Cai Zhong and Cai He were captured by Chutian, the Xiangyang Cai family ransomed Cai Zhong and Cai He with money. Now Cai Zhong and Cai He are following Cai Mao.

Ransom the captured generals with money, such behavior was more common in the West in the Middle Ages, and after some rich knights were captured, the other party often asked for money and did not want people.

Chu Tian saw that Cai Zhong and Cai He were really useless, so he was happy to redeem the two of them with the Cai family's money.

Cai Zhong and Cai He were once captured, so they were not as confident as Cai Mao, and they only promised.

In Xiangyang City, Yang Shilang gathered an army of 200,000 and went north to support Wancheng.

Han Shizhong, Wu Jue, Pan Mei, Cao Bin, Zong Ze, Wen Ping, Huang Zu and other military generals, Xu Shu, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and other civil servants and strategists are all there.

Han Shizhong and Pan Mei were once captured by the Jiangdong Army, and Tongque was released by Tongque in order to form an alliance with the Song army.

Beside Yang Shilang, there is also a young general.

Players in the Eastern Han District who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms will not be unfamiliar with it, and Yang Shilang also easily recruited this person - Wei Yan of the Three Kingdoms.

In the 15th year of the lord's calendar, the second batch of military generals of the Three Kingdoms had gradually emerged in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It's just that Wei Yan is still very young at this time.

Yang Shilang didn't have time to give Wei Yan training, or rather, Wei Yan could only train in the big war.

Wei Yan went into battle for the first time, and the opponent he faced was the terrifying Xia army.

"If Nanyang is lost, Xinye will be difficult to defend, and then Fancheng and Xiangyang, you may not have your current status at that time."

Yang Shilang glanced at the Wenchen generals present, this was one of his few teams.
