"This is the battlefield of the national war......"

The sky was a little hazy, and behind the army of 10,000 was a dense forest, while in front was a river and a vast plain. Not far ahead, there is a village.

Behind Chu Tian, generals Le Yi, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Hua Mulan, Li Guang, and Hua Xiong reined in their horses and observed the surrounding terrain.

The place of birth in this national war was random, and the map was unknown, so Chu Tian could not judge his location. In this case, the best strategy is to send scout cavalry to observe the nearby terrain and find towns, villages, and water sources for supplies, as well as to guard against other lords and their armies who may have spawned nearby.

Chu Tian reconfirmed to Fang Xuanling, who had just turned from a horseman: "Strategist, we only carried seven days of dry food, right?" ”

Fang Xuanling was very determined: "It's exactly seven days." ”

"In seven days, we must take a town and get supplies, or we will be wiped out due to lack of food."

The picture is not encouraging. The number of people a lord can carry in a national war is only 10,000, so no lord will carry a special food transport team. The grain transport team of the Xiangyong Association squeezed a large number of soldiers.

In the second national war, all the food and supplies were robbed!

Towns on the battlefield can be looted at will, and the battlefield will be reset after the war ends.

Towns were very important in times of war.

First, you can earn points for capturing towns, and for every 10 days you occupy, a village can produce 3 points, a town can produce 30 points, and a city can produce 300 points.

Second, capturing towns gives you troops (recruited through barracks), food, weapons, crossbows, armor (warehouses, or crafting), and gold and silver (looting).

Thirdly, capturing a town can be used to fend off attacks by other lords, as the town has relatively good fortifications.

Given that they only had seven days of dry rations, Chutian's army had to capture a town within seven days.

You can run into enemies at any time on the march, so this time is very tight.

Chu Tian asked Mulan, who was in charge of the reconnaissance, "Mulan, can your war eagle be used to find the location of the town?" ”

Mulan nodded: "You can get rough information." ”

"All the ten war eagles of the Iron Eagle Scout were put into use to confirm whether there were enemy troops and towns within a radius of ten miles. At the same time, the Iron Eagle Scout cavalry personally surveyed the nearby terrain. After the reconnaissance was over, assemble in the village ahead. ”

Chu Tian pointed at the village in front of him with a horsewhip.

Before finding the town, Chutian planned to rest in the village.

A village of only a few hundred people is overwhelming for an army of 10,000 people, but it is better than sleeping in the open.

Because it was only a battlefield of the national war, Chu Tian had no intention of showing mercy and directly obtained supplies in the village.

The Iron Eagle Scout's war eagle soared in the sky, and the Iron Eagle Scout cavalry also personally went around the village to reconnoitre. The Eagle has limited information to transmit, so the Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry must personally survey the terrain.

Mulan's cavalry is the best scout, so Chutian often takes Mulan with him to get reconnaissance information in time.

After sending ten war eagles and a hundred scout cavalry, the main force of 10,000 troops approached the villages on the plain.

The villagers of this village immediately surrendered when they saw the mighty army, especially the majestic White Horse Yisu. They knew they couldn't resist this army.

Chu Tian's army was temporarily stationed in the village.

If you don't know the location of the town or the terrain around it, you might be ambushed by other lords or wiped out in the swamp.

Fang Xuanling reminded: "You may be able to ask for useful information from local residents. ”

Chutian immediately coerced the nearby villagers.

"There is a city fifty miles to the north."

Under the threat, the villagers told the information that Chu Tian was interested in.

"Fifty miles away, as long as you march tomorrow, you can reach that city. How many defenders are there in the city? How many people are in the city? ”

"There may be eight thousand defenders, a population of 150,000."

"Eight Thousand Defenders ......"

Chu Tian pondered.

Because each lord could only carry 10,000 people, the area of the national war battlefield was not large, the size of the city was small, and the population was not large. If you can capture a city and convert all the elite soldiers of the population of 150,000 into professional soldiers, you can quickly get 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers, which is not a small amount.

"With 8,000 defenders and strong walls, we may not be able to take them down easily. In Yichen's opinion, it is only suitable for outwitting. ”

Fang Xuanling learned of the strength of the northern city and thought that it was inappropriate to storm it.

As a top strategist, he has always opposed assaults.

Even though Le Yi's S-rank trait "Lower Seventy Cities" can increase the attack power of the siege troops by 18%, and there is another SS-level trait "Five Kingdoms Fighting Qi" that can provide a 20% attack bonus to his troops, and Le Yi's attack power bonus of the siege troops can reach an astonishing 38%, Fang Xuanling still does not advocate a strong attack.

The assault will have to pay a lot of price, and the 10,000 people brought by Chutian are not enough to consume.

What's more, half of the 10,000 people brought by Chu Tian were cavalry. It would be too wasteful to let the cavalry attack the city.

"What does the military advisor mean to lure the snake out of the hole?"

Chu Tian also did not advocate a forcible attack, he tried to guess the plan that Fang Xuanling might offer him.

Fang Xuanling said: "The lord is wise. With a small group of soldiers and horses to show weakness, lead the main force of the defenders out of the city, and then ambush it, you can win a complete victory, and then take advantage of the momentum of victory, and fall into the city in one fell swoop. ”

"This plan is very good, but whether the other party will be tricked or not, but I have two words."

Chu Tian preliminarily determined that he used Fang Xuanling's strategy to lure the snake out of the hole to attack the city.

If the strategy fails, Chu Tian will have to consider a strong attack.

In any case, the time limit for taking the city was seven days.

Chu Tian also learned from the villagers about the nearby terrain - forests and swamps to the west, valleys to the south, and plains to the north and east.

Towns are generally on the plains, so it is possible to march in both directions.

After the 10,000-strong army was stationed in the village, the Iron Eagle scouts who had gone to reconnoiter returned one after another. At the same time, ten warhawks returned.

"At least two lords are nearby!"

Chu Tian learned that within a radius of ten miles, there were two lords who had already been discovered. Coupled with Chu Tian himself, there were a total of three lords.

Obviously, there is not much space on the battlefield, otherwise there would not be at least three lords within a radius of ten miles.

"One of the lords was discovered by the war eagle, and it is impossible to know which civilization the legion is exactly."

"Another lord was discovered by the cavalry, using the Taiji banner of the Goryeo Kingdom!"

The lord of Goryeo?

Chu Tian's first national battle was with the lord of the Goryeo Kingdom, but he didn't expect to meet the lord of the Goryeo Kingdom again this time.

Chu Tian's most direct reaction was to eliminate them.

But on second thought, perhaps now is not the time to go to war with the lords of Goryeo: "The other lords will surely discover the northern city and try to storm it, so that we can fight with each other and the fishermen will benefit." ”

"Keep probing, we will follow them in the siege."

Chutian temporarily adjusted his strategy.

Warhawks and Iron Eagle scouts are constantly sending back information about the Goryeo army and another army that does not know civilization.

Chu Tian maintained a high level of vigilance.

"The Goryeo army camped for the night in a village about thirty miles to the north!"

"They had traveled about twenty miles all the way north, and it seemed that they had discovered the city to the north. Tomorrow they will attack the city. All we have to do is follow them, and we're fighters. Strategist, what do you think? ”

"What means does the lord of Goryeo think the lord of Goryeo will use to attack the city?"

"Lead the snake out of the hole. We can count as we count. ”

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but secretly surprise that the lord's strategy had improved.

The army of Goryeo marched thirty miles to the north, and the army of another civilization marched twenty miles to the northwest.

The lords of the three civilizations all wanted to conquer the cities in the north.

On the first day, the parties did not venture into the city, they were familiar with the nearby terrain and probing the surrounding lords.

About three hundred miles north of the village where Chutian was stationed, Catherine, the lord from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, marched south with 10,000 cavalry.

She sent out scout cavalry as she quickly headed south.

She was not at all afraid to encounter any enemy, because she had absolute confidence in her cavalry.

"Spearmen of African tribes found ahead!"

"Destroy them!"

Catherine drew her sword and led the Boye cavalry and Cossack cavalry to the south.

A group of African tribal warriors was aimlessly searching for the town, only to find themselves targeted by the Cossack cavalry of the Great Plains of Eastern Europe, and they couldn't help but gather in a circle in a panic.

"The first merit was won by me, Catherina!"

The chieftain of the African tribes looked at the wandering Cossack cavalry in alarm, he knew that the infantry met the cavalry in the plains and had little chance of winning. There is a high probability that his Horde warriors will be wiped out by the Cossack cavalry!

"Where is this?"

Mingguan led the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Liaodong Cavalry to appear in a valley, and there was a team of knights with a black cross flag on a white background not far away. The two sides were born in very close proximity!

"The Teutonic Knights of Germany?"

Mingguan saw the Teutonic Knights, one of the three major knights, and did not bite it like a mad dog.

The Teutonic Knights are a special class, and there are many Plate Knights, who may break their heads and bleed if they collide headlong.

"The heavy cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty? As a powerful civilization in Asia, the Eastern Han Dynasty was safe and supreme, so it was better not to fight with them for the time being. ”

The lords of Germany recognized the dragon banner of the Eastern Han Dynasty at a glance.

The symbol of the Eastern Han Dynasty is too obvious, and it is also the opponent that many foreign lords mainly avoid in this national war.

If it is not already an enemy of the Eastern Han Dynasty, otherwise no civilization will take the initiative to attack the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In case it hits the powerful Eastern Han Lord, it kicks to the iron plate.

The two great lords of the civilization area, one with the Teutonic Knights and the other with the Guanning Iron Cavalry, are both strong special troops, and they parted ways tacitly, one marching north and the other south.

Unless there is absolute certainty, the two sides will not go to war easily.

"If you run out of troops on the first day of the war, how can you attack the city?"

The lords of Mingguan and Germany were calm.

The Eastern Han Dynasty and the German District had not yet made a feud, and secondly, they needed to conquer a town, get supplies, and then think about the conquest.

Chutian's army spent the night in the village.

The 1,000 women's army brought by Li Xiuning inexplicably became Chutian's Praetorian Guard, and at the same time, the Shooting Battalion also became the Praetorian Guard.

Li Xiuning patrols outside the village.

Chu Tian was sitting in the tent, and he saw that there were already lords in the world rankings who had gained points.

1st place, Catherine of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, 531 points.

In second place, France of the Kingdom of France will never surrender, with 482 points.

Third place, Kshatriya of the Mughal Empire in India, with 401 points.

Fourth place, commander of the undead army of the Persian Empire, with 384 points.

Fifth place, Lao Qin of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with 242 points.

Sixth place, the master of the Amazon in South America, with 212 points.

……

"It looks like they broke out in an encounter."

Chutian currently has no points. Seeing that many lords were on the list, he was not in a hurry, because the national war had just begun.

For the first-ranked lord Catherine, Chutian had an impression that she was said to be invincible in the Eastern European Plain, and even the Polish hussars could not stop her cavalry.

The old Qin of the Eastern Han Dynasty had points, which meant that he had already fought against other lords.

This time, the competition is five times fiercer than before.

Even Chu Tian didn't dare to guarantee that he could get the number one in the world, after all, all the lords could only bring 10,000 people.

The next day, just after dawn, Chutian ordered Mulan's Iron Eagle scouts to set off first, following the lords of Goryeo, and then the army left the village.

Until the other lords occupied the village, the village was still nominally under Chu Tian's control.

"Myeongguan, don't you hate the lord of Goryeo very much? This time I will help you take revenge, and when I return to the main world, I will ask you for dozens of excellent war horses from Liaodong in return. ”

Chutian's army had already targeted the lords of the Goryeo Kingdom.

The Goryeo army moved to the vicinity of the northern city, and just as Chu Tian guessed, the Goryeo army also used the tactic of luring snakes out of the hole.

A Goryeo cavalry flaunted its might beneath the city in an attempt to anger the defenders, while the rest of the army lay in ambush outside the city.

The intelligence of the defenders was not high, and soon 6,000 troops went out of the city to pursue the Goryeo cavalry, and only 2,000 men remained in the city.

Li Min-chul, the lord of the southern part of Goryeo, led his own soldiers to observe the battle situation: "The divine cavalry battalion of Bewuban has successfully led the defenders out, and it is time for the Shenbu, Jumping, Terrier Bow, Elite Crossbow, and Fire Battalions to show their strength." This group of defenders, what a foolishness. It's the other lords who are really tough to deal with. ”

The military general under his command, Yi Qiang, has a special military class, which is the same as the five schools of the Northern Army, with several battalions. The Bewuban is an elite class of troops in history that dealt with the Jurchens.

A war eagle hovers over the Goryeo army, and Hawkeye has discovered the location of the Goryeo army.

……

Xuzhou, Xiapi City, in the summer, sat in the county government and reviewed the recitals of various counties.

One of the lists caught her attention.

This is a list of the local high-ranking people captured by Zhou Yafu, Xue Rengui, and Li Guang when they pacified Peng Chengguo.

"Pengcheng Governor Shi Zhang Zhao?"

In the summer, she was surprised, she didn't expect that Zhang Zhao, the Minister of the Interior of Eastern Wu, was actually captured by Zhou Yafu in Pengchengguo.

Chu Tian didn't have time to deal with this group of prisoners, and he didn't notice Zhang Zhao, so he went to participate in the national war.

"Let's see if we can bring down the ......"
