"According to reliable information, Langya Xiang Chu Zimou has already fought against Dong Zhuo's generals such as Lu Bu and Hua Xiong under the Tiger Prison Pass."

"The elite of the Langya country is exhausted, it's time to start an army to carve up the Langya country."

The second anti-Chutian alliance was established in secret, and this time in addition to the lords of Xuzhou Donghai Kingdom, Xiapi Kingdom, and Pengcheng Kingdom, there was also the lord of Taishan County, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian joined.

In Tan County, Donghai Kingdom, Cao Bao, who secretly stationed troops, gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses, claiming to crusade against the bandits located in the East China Sea, but secretly went north and took Xia City directly!

Several great lords of the Donghai Kingdom, who were directly threatened by the Langya State, raised 40,000 troops, and with one Shi Shiwu general as the commander, they attacked the area called "Hedong Nine Towns" by Chutian, echoing Tao Qian's subordinate Cao Bao.

The combined forces of Xiapi and Pengcheng combined 60,000 troops to follow Cao Bao's rear as reinforcements.

The lord of Taishan County sent 30,000 troops to attack Xia City from another side.

The goal of the alliance is very simple, that is, to gather 180,000 soldiers and horses to storm Xia City from three directions!

As long as Xia City is occupied, Xia Cheng's rule over Langya Kingdom will soon collapse, and the loyalty of officials everywhere will drop greatly due to the loss of Xia City!

Whether it is the East China Sea Kingdom, the Xiapi Kingdom, the Pengcheng Kingdom, and Taishan County, they all feel the threat of the Langya Kingdom to them. If the Langya State cannot be suppressed now, when Chutian's main force returns from the Tiger Prison, these counties are likely to be annexed by the Langya State. Now is their only chance.

When the secret alliance began to mobilize troops and horses in a big way, it was finally unable to hide its movements, and the news of the march of various armies was quickly spread to Xia Cheng.

"I don't know how the crusade against Dong Zhuo is going. Is there a three-British battle against Lu Bu? ”

Xia Liang is handling internal affairs on her behalf, and so far, every time Chu Tian goes on an expedition, the designated heir is her. Only she has the ability to take over Langya Kingdom. Once Chu Tian is killed, the Langya Kingdom will become a mess, and any historical generals will probably not be able to clean it up, because they lack the player's system.

"It's cool, and there are four groups of enemies marching quickly towards Xia City! The closest to Xia City is the army of Cao Bao in Tanxian County, the number is estimated to be about 50,000 people, of which 5,000 light cavalry are the vanguard, it is estimated that he wants to quickly attack Langya City, and make the teleportation array of Langya City invalid through the siege of the city, preventing the lord from coming back! ”

"A coalition army of the East China Sea Kingdom is rapidly approaching the Nine Towns area of Hedong City!"

"The coalition army of Taishan County is entering Langya Country along the Yimeng Mountain Range, attacking Xia City and Langya City from the northwest, and its purpose may also be to plunder Yangdu County and cut off the connection between the south and the central and northern parts of Langya Kingdom!"

"The coalition forces of Xiapi and Pengcheng are still gathering, and they are Cao Bao's backup troops."

"You and Xu Sheng discuss how to deal with it, at present, we only have 30,000 usable soldiers in our hands, and there are 10,000 Qingzhou troops who have just been recruited."

When the second anti-Chutian Alliance held an army, Xue Yue, who managed the player's guild, quickly used the player's relationship to collect the movements of various soldiers and horses, and immediately notified Xia Liang, who was now in the lord's mansion.

"Damn, that's the case again!"

It's cool in the summer and grits your teeth.

It's not the first time Xia Cheng has been targeted, and it won't be the last.

Because the development of Xia City is too fast, and the power is the strongest in the nearby area, the nearby lords will join forces to suppress the Langya Kingdom. They knew that if they didn't join forces, they would only be broken by the Langya Kingdom one by one, and then annexed.

There is also a chance to win by forming an alliance.

"The lord is not here, I must defend the Langya country, this is the force I have built up with my own eyes......"

As one of the first people loyal to Chutian, Xia Liang had become accustomed to the title he had been calling for the past two years, and the Xia Cheng forces that had been built up little by little, it was impossible for him to allow others to destroy him.

"General Xu Sheng, please come to the Lord's Mansion!"

"Transfer 6,000 Qingzhou troops to move to defend Xiacheng, and 4,000 Qingzhou troops to move to Langya City!"

"Be prepared to abandon the nine towns in Hedong, shrink the whole line to important cities, and transport all the important materials of the nine towns in Hedong to Xiacheng or Langya City. Once the nine towns in Hedong are lost, try to recover them later! ”

"Immediately inform the lord about the situation in the Langya Kingdom, and reassure the lord that we will hold the summer city until he returns!"

"We also have 40,000 professional soldiers and a group of city defense troops, plus temporarily recruited village warriors, if they want to capture Xia City, they must be prepared for at least a year!"

"Each city recruits soldiers, and priority is given to recruiting low-level infantry archers!"

One order after another was quickly issued to each city, requiring each city to use its war potential and start recruiting a large number of troops!

Xu Sheng, the chief general in charge of the defense of Xia City and Langya City, arrived, and he learned the news and knew what it meant.

The surrounding villages and towns can be lost, as long as they are recovered later, but important cities cannot be abandoned. The main population, wealth, and important buildings of the Langya Kingdom are located in the city. In particular, Xia Cheng, as the main city, cannot be lost, otherwise it will seriously affect the loyalty of all military generals, as well as shake the morale of the army and decline the morale of the people.

"The 2,000-strong sailor battalion can control the Yi River, and the retreat can hold Liangshan Town with the township. If it can interfere with the ships of Tan County to transport grain to Cao Bao's army, then Cao Bao's food will be in short supply, especially if the lords of Xiapi and Pengcheng join Cao Bao, they will have 110,000 soldiers and horses, and the food will be difficult to sustain. ”

"Of the 30,000 professional soldiers, 12,000 are in the south, 8,000 in the middle, and 10,000 in the north, not counting the soldiers and horses recruited by Yin Li in Xihai County."

"If 10,000 Qingzhou troops are transferred to the south, Xia City in the south will have 12,000 soldiers and horses, and Langya City will have 8,000 soldiers and horses."

Xu Sheng explained the current deployment of troops to Xia Liang, who nodded from time to time.

Xu Sheng hesitated: "The question is, can the 10,000 soldiers and horses of Zang Ba and Sun Guan in the north be mobilized?" If we can mobilize the 10,000 soldiers and horses of Zang Ba and Sun Guan, our pressure will be reduced, but the north is facing the threat of being threatened by the lords of the Beihai Kingdom. ”

He needs someone who can be responsible. Because Xu Sheng couldn't bear the consequences.

Xia Liang guessed Chutian's thoughts at this time, and finally decided: "Ling Zang Ba and Sun Guan led 8,000 soldiers and horses south to Juxian County to join Xueyue, form a reinforcement of 12,000 people to operate in the area of Jiuzhen in Hedong, as foreign aid, and try to defeat the 40,000 coalition forces of the East China Sea Kingdom." Ordered Yin Li to suppress a possible rebellion in Xihai County, don't care about Xia Cheng's side, we will hold Xia City. General Xu Sheng, you have to strengthen the city defense. I'm going to have people produce as much defense material as possible in the city. ”

"Yes."

Xu Sheng admired the woman in front of him a little.

The Second Anti-Chutian Alliance had 180,000 soldiers and horses, while Langya Guoman was only 40,000, even if the barracks in Xia Cheng could recruit 2,000 first-order light infantry and first-order longbowmen every month, but they were only new soldiers.

Under the premise of such a disparity in the proportion of troops, it can still maintain composure and deploy, which has exceeded the vast majority of people.

Xu Sheng went down to rectify the city defense of Xia City.

Xiacheng, which had not fought for a long time, was attacked by the coalition forces again, and people were panicked for a while.

In the summer, Liang recruited troops in the city, training infantry, archers, and cavalry, and consuming the equipment hoarded in the arsenal.

"I heard that the lords of four counties participated in the coalition army to carve up the Langya Kingdom, and the coalition army claimed to be 500,000, and the leader was Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian!"

"Isn't Langya Xiang Tao Qian's subordinate? Why does Tao Qian want to deal with it quickly? ”

"Because Langya Kingdom is like an independent kingdom, it seriously threatens Tao Qian's status as a thorn. How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the couch lying on your side? ”

"It's better for us to get out of Xia City or Langya City quickly."

"There is no place where there is no war now, and where can we flee to? What's more, my house is still in Xia City, but it cost me 200 taels of silver! ”

In the city of Xiacheng, there are rumors about the attack on Langya by 500,000 allied troops.

In the counties in the north of Langya Kingdom, Zang Ba, who was stationed in this county, immediately set off after receiving Xia Liang's order to go south with Xueyue.

Sun Guan, a garrison stationed in Tobu County, also received an order and immediately ordered his troops to go south.

Xia Liang's intentions were already obvious, she was ready to give up the nine towns in Hedong, and even the northern part of Langya Kingdom, shrink the scope of defense, and defend with limited forces until waiting for Chutian to come back.

Even if Langya City's teleportation array failed due to the siege, Xia Liang believed that Chu Tian would have a way to come back.

The Xuzhou light cavalry sent by Cao Bao was extremely fast, and they made all preparations, bypassing Xia City and approaching Langya City. Once the city is besieged, the teleportation array of Langya City will be invalid, and Chutian's army will not be able to return to Langya Country as soon as possible!

Cao Bao was only afraid of Chutian's elite division and those top generals, and they were all now fighting with the elite Xiliang Legion in Tiger Prison Pass, and they had no time to return to the division.

Secondly, the army of more than 40,000 infantry will have plenty of time to besiege Xia City, whether it is a strong attack, or flooding, or besieging, depending on the situation.

Cao Bao can already see the outline of Xia Cheng, and Xia Cheng is at his fingertips: "Attack directly, if you can't take it, wait until the 60,000 troops of the lords of Xia Pi and Peng Cheng arrive and join forces to attack again." We can't lose too much because of the annexation of Langya, otherwise we will lose the other county lords for nothing. ”

"Miss Xia, Cao Bao's army has arrived!"

The defenders of the city wall noticed the banner of Cao Bao's army appearing on the horizon. First there was a black line, and then there was the Xuzhou army all over the mountains, and hundreds of war horses carrying supplies appeared in Xia Cheng's field of vision. Fifty thousand people is quite large, enough to fill the entire line of sight.

At present, the 12,000 defenders of Xia City have to block the opponent's 50,000 people, and there are 60,000 reinforcements behind the opponent, and there are 30,000 reinforcements in the direction of Taishan County!

Cao Bao's army arrived at the city and began to prepare siege equipment on a large scale, preparing for both a strong attack and a long-term siege.

Summer Liang has ordered a lockdown and martial law throughout the city, and soldiers patrol the streets.

Rows of archers came to the city walls, and at the gates they were ready to use their chariots to make them sharp if they tried to break through the city, and the carts would stab them into hedgehogs.

Xu Shengpi insisted on being sharp and took turns patrolling with Xia Liang.

A large number of stones and yakshatras were transported to the city walls.

This is the first time that Xia Cheng has been attacked by enemy soldiers.

During the first anti-Chutian Alliance, the enemy almost approached the city and was defeated by Xia Liang with 3,000 recruits. And this time, it was impossible to repeat the old trick, because Cao Bao had already taken precautions against the Lime Fire Horse Array.

The only way to defend is to defend the city by the most tragic and effective method, that is, to defend the city.

"Why did the assassin send troops and didn't tell me?!"

Mi Fang couldn't help but be angry when she learned that Cao Bao was the commander and sent troops to attack Langya. As one of Tao Qian's generals, he didn't even hear about it at all, and was kept in the dark by Tao Qian and Cao Bao.

For this, Mi Fang was furious.

One is dissatisfied with Tao Qian and Cao Bao's ignorance of him, and the other is because of the friendship between him and Chu Tian!

Mi Fang found Mi Zhu and asked Mi Zhu to put pressure on Tao Qian.

"The wood has been completed, the three armies have moved, even if you go to put pressure on your brother, the assassin will not waver. What's more, now all the families are waiting, if Chu Zimou of Langya Kingdom is destroyed because of this, then the other families will not hesitate to abandon him. If the Langya Kingdom can hold out for a while, the soldiers of the Langya Kingdom will be war-weary, and the Brotherhood will go to dissuade the assassin Shi and ask for the withdrawal of the troops. ”

Mi Zhu, as the son of the great merchant Jia family, thinks more than Mi Fang, and he must first look at this matter from the interests of the family. The second is personal friendship.

Mi Fang was dissatisfied: "Our Mi family has tens of thousands of servants, as long as we buy a batch of weapons, we can go to support, why bother to tie our hands!" ”

Mi Zhu shook his head: "There is a big difference between a doorman servant and a professional soldier, and you just don't please both sides by doing this." ”

In the area of the Yimeng Mountains, 30,000 allied troops from Taishan County marched southeast along the mountains, and they relied on the terrain to attack the Langya Kingdom condescendingly, and no one could stop their pace.

"Cao Bao has already led the Xuzhou army to besiege Xia City and Langya City, and we will soon be able to join him. Relying on our strength to carve up the territory of the First Lord, we will be famous throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty. ”

"According to the agreement, the three lords of our Taishan County can be divided into Yangdu County, Dong'an County, and Dongguan County."

"I want to get the woman who replaces Chu Zimou to take care of the house, I heard that she is good-looking, and the most important thing is that she will make money. Chu Zimou has never been short of money. Where to find such a woman? ”

"Xia Cheng and Langya City will be divided among Cao Bao, if you want to ask him for a woman, just bribe him for a thousand taels of silver."

"One thousand taels of silver for an economic talent, no loss."

The three lords of Taishan County had already thought of carving up the Langya Kingdom of Chutian, including the people who carved up Chutian.

The allied forces of the East China Sea set out from Licheng and approached the nine towns of Hedong. Once the nine towns in Hedong fell, the 40,000 allied troops of the East China Sea Kingdom could attack Langya City or Ju County, or cross the river to attack Xia City.

The lord of the East China Sea Coalition said to the commander beside him: "Song Gongming, this time the heavy responsibility of capturing the nine towns in Hedong and capturing Juxian County will be handed over to you, don't let me down." Since they robbed Xia City and Langya City, then we will go to Ju County and Xihai County. When Chu Zimou comes back, he will have no territory, and the generals will eventually get it for us. ”
