Lord of the People of Online Games (Lord of the Gaming World)

Chapter 289 8 Banners and Guanning Cavalry

Chutian's army arrived at Mount Tai, and immediately built siege equipment and prepared to attack the city.

Fenggao County relies on the steep terrain of Mount Tai to build a city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, being easy to defend and difficult to attack does not mean that it cannot be captured, it is just the size of the price paid.

A large number of catapults, ladders and siege towers took shape, and the Leyi Army was ready to attack the city under Mount Tai.

Chutian saw Mulan and Joan of Arc who had broken through all the way to Fenggao County, and gave a little commendation.

It was only a matter of time before Fenggao County was captured. What Chu Tian was more worried about was the two battlefields of Langya Kingdom and Pei Kingdom, where the defenders faced the pressure of Zhao Gongzi and Yuan Shu respectively.

Taishi Ci once again organized an offensive against Zhucheng County, and soldiers flooded the city.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan resisted stubbornly. They were responsible for defending the northern part of Langya for a long time. They usually produced a large number of defense equipment, so they were able to stick to the present.

"The lord and the two adults Dorgon and Wu Sangui are here!"

When Taishi Ci was unable to attack, Dorgon and Wu Sangui captured Linzi City, where Qi Guozhi was located. After receiving the order, they led a large number of cavalry and infantry back to Beihai Kingdom to assist Taishi Ci in capturing Zhucheng County.

At the same time, Zhao Gongzi personally levied Zhucheng County and personally supervised Dorgon and Wu Sangui.

In order to prevent Dorgon and Wu Sangui from betrayal, he took the Eight Banners cavalry and Guanning cavalry in his hands, and Dorgon and Wu Sangui temporarily commanded them only in peacetime.

A team of cavalry with a white flag appeared, numbering in the thousands, the soldiers were brave, and the horses were sturdy.

Wu Sangui's Guanning cavalry and the white flag cavalry are almost the opposite in color. They hold three-eyed fire cannons and are well-armored.

Wu Sangui, who has Guan Ning's iron cavalry and can be dispatched, finally has a plan.

Wu Sangui was quite embarrassed when he was driven all the way from Zhanhun Town to Qingzhou by Chu Tian. He got the Guanning Iron Cavalry and regained his courage to fight, although because of Zhao Gongzi's limited financial resources, there are currently only 700 Guanning Iron Cavalry.

"There are more and more enemies under the city, this time may not be able to stop."

Zang Ba climbed to the city and looked at the increasing numbers of Qingzhou troops below, frowning.

"There are at least 60,000 or 70,000 enemies under the city, and the number is still increasing."

Sun Guan also came to the city wall.

As Young Master Zhao dispatched the main force southward, Zang Ba and Sun Guan were under increasing pressure.

Zang Ba lost an eye in the previous battle of Xuzhou, and Sun Guan also left a hidden illness. The two cooperated with each other and still blocked the pressure brought by the Qingzhou army.

However, as there are more and more enemies, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue to hold on.

"The Qingzhou Army already has elite cavalry."

Zang Ba pointed to the two armies brought by Zhao Gongzi, one black and one white, the Guanning iron cavalry, and the eight-banner cavalry (the white flag).

"I don't know how it compares to our elite cavalry in Xuzhou."

Sun Guan couldn't help comparing the two cavalry with the elite cavalry of Xuzhou.

"It is Zang Ba and Sun Guan who are guarding this city. As second-rate generals, it is a miracle that they can stick to this city for a long time."

Zhao Gongzi brought several generals to the city to observe the city defense, and was very surprised by the performance of Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

He also thought that Taishi Ci could easily capture the city.

"They have prepared a lot of materials to defend the city, so they can stick to it. They can use a large number of Yellow Turbans to consume their troops."

Dorgon proposed to consume cheap Yellow Turban soldiers.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Zhao Gongzi hesitated.

"Those who make a big deal, don't stick to the details. If you don't capture this city as soon as possible, once the reinforcements from Chu Zimou arrive, we will become prisoners."

Dorgon was persuading Zhao Gongzi to use the Yellow Turban Army General Guan Hai to recruit a large number of Yellow Turbans as cannon fodder, and the army suddenly became restless.

Dorgon looked at the aid that made the army restless, and saw an elite cavalry appear in the distance.

In the forefront is a group of cavalry riding white horses, hunting in white robes, with high morale, and the long spears trembled with the bumps of the horses!

"Xuzhou's white robe army!"

Zhao Gongzi found out about Xuzhou's regiment, among which the White Pao Corps was the largest cavalry regiment, and had long-term mobile operations.

"I have the Eight Banners cavalry, plus your characteristics, Lord, enough to defeat the opponent's white robe army."

Dorgon rectified the 1,000-strong Eight Banners cavalry and prepared to fight.

Zhao Gongzi has the characteristics of Huang Taiji, which can improve the ability of the Eight Banners cavalry.

Therefore, Dorgon's combat ability was strengthened by Zhao Gongzi.

"They won't use light cavalry against our heavy cavalry. Unless we can force the opposing cavalry to fight us."

Zhao Gongzi did not think that Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun would be impulsive to use light cavalry to attack the Eight Banners cavalry and Guan Ning iron cavalry.

The arrival of the white robe army, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and the defenders in the city couldn't help but be overjoyed. Once you see the sign of the white robe, it means that there is basically no need to worry.

"What kind of cavalry is that?"

Xue Rengui was a little surprised when he saw that there were white armored cavalry on the opposite side, and another cavalry with what seemed to be a stick weapon.

Zhao Yun said: "The lord has a word, Qingzhou Zhao Gongzi may have formed the Eight Banners cavalry and the Guanning iron cavalry. The white armored cavalry may be the cavalry of the white flag, and the Guanning iron cavalry has three-eyed fire guns."

Although Chutian had never seen the Eight Banners Cavalry and the Guanning Cavalry, the intelligence work had undoubtedly been done.

"Let me try it out."

Zhao Yun led a thousand ordinary light cavalry to test the Eight Banners cavalry and Guan Ning's iron cavalry.

Intelligence is not necessarily accurate, and intelligence is not necessarily the same as actual combat.

Wu Sangui did not expect that Zhao Yun would directly lead his troops to charge at him, so he immediately organized Guan Ning Cavalry to defend him.

Zhao Yun used a horn bow and led the light cavalry to use cavalry and archery tactics. A round of arrows fell into the Guanning cavalry.

"attack!"

Wu Sangui relied on the heavy armor of Guan Ning's iron cavalry and let the arrows fall, with few casualties.

Guan Ning's iron cavalry attacked forward, and after approaching Zhao Yun's light cavalry, lit the three-eyed fire gun!

There was a dense sound of firearms, white smoke filled the air, and dozens of light cavalrymen were shot by three-eyed fire guns!

The sound produced by the three-eyed fire cannon had a shocking effect and was applicable to both men and horses, causing Zhao Yun's cavalry to panic.

Guan Ning Cavalry didn't have time to reload gunpowder again, so he swung the three-eyed fire gun as a blunt weapon and attacked Zhao Yun's light cavalry.

The earth is shaking, the iron cavalry is protruding, and once it is hammered by the heavy three-eyed fire gun, most of them will suffer casualties because they cannot withstand the huge impact force!

"retreat!"

Zhao Yun just came to test it. At this time, he found out the fighting method of Guan Ning's iron cavalry and retreated decisively.

More than a dozen light cavalrymen could not retreat in time, and were overtaken by Guan Ning's iron cavalry. The three-eyed fire gun smashed on the head, and they were instantly killed!

Wu Sangui rarely won a small victory, and he did not chase after him to prevent him from being fooled.

"Guanning Iron Cavalry is a heavy cavalry that cost me a lot of savings to build. In order to buy the three-eyed fire gun, Mingguan cost me a lot of gold and silver."

Zhao Gongzi saw that Guan Ning's iron cavalry killed dozens of light cavalry, but he didn't have many casualties, so he felt that it was worth the money.

Building high-level heavy cavalry is more expensive than building ordinary heavy cavalry. Zhao Gongzi built 1000 Eight Banners cavalry and 700 Guanning Iron Cavalry.

At present, Zhao Gongzi has three counties, namely Beihai Country, Donglai County, and Qi Country (newly occupied), so he can only use such a small amount of high-level heavy cavalry.

"Guan Ning Tieqi's three-eyed fire cannon has a deterrent effect, and I was also frightened just now."

Zhao Yun was also affected by the shocking effect of the three-eyed fire gun.

"The Guanning cavalry shoots at the front, and then engages in melee combat...to face the Guanning cavalry head-on, you can only accelerate the impact and go forward for melee combat. Or use the infantry longbow with a longer range to shoot with a dense rain of arrows. The opponent is a heavy cavalry, The defense against arrow rain is high, and the damage from mounted shots is too low for them."

Xue Rengui faced the special heavy cavalry with shocking effect for the first time, coupled with the heavy armor of Guan Ning's iron cavalry, Wu Sangui became a difficult opponent.

There are other arms support next to the Guanning cavalry, and the mobility of the light cavalry is limited.

Without the support of infantry, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun did not attack rashly.

Their combat goal is to support Zhucheng County, prevent Zhao Gongzi from going south to Langya, and achieve the combat goal.

The calmness of Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun made Zhao Gongzi a little irritable.

Taishan County is being attacked by Chutian, and within a month or two, Taishan County will fall.

At this point he regretted not using Dorgon's suggestion.

"Call all the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to come, and the cavalry is ready to expel the White Pao Army."

After hesitation and struggle, Young Master Zhao finally decided to force Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun to fight.

The bait is Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

"The situation has not changed. If the number of Qingzhou troops continues to increase to 100,000, Zhao Gongzi can completely expel Xue Rengui and others while attacking the city."

Zang Ba saw what Zhao Gongzi was thinking.

On the premise that the other party has the superiority of troops, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun are actually on the passive side, because Zang Ba and Sun Guan have to save them.

Losing the city guarded by Zang Ba and Sun Guan, the gate to the northern part of Langya Kingdom opened, and the Eight Banners cavalry and the Guanning Cavalry would take advantage of the situation and head south, unstoppable.

Sun Guan's heart was equally heavy: "We can only see how Xue Li and Zhao Yun respond to the enemy. We just need to stick to the city as much as possible and delay time."

Zhao Gongzi decided to use the strength of the three prefectures and states in Qingzhou to completely capture Zang Ba and Sun Guan. He sent Guan Hai back to the rear towns and forcibly recruited the Yellow Turban Army. He piled the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army to the height of the city wall to capture Zang Ba. and Zhucheng County, where Sun Guan is located.

At the same time, the Eight Banners cavalry, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and other low-level cavalrymen were ready to expel the White Pao Legion.

...

"Catapult, throw rocks!"

"One, two, three, pull!"

The Qingzhou Army prisoners pulled the ropes of the catapult together and threw huge stones out!

Hundreds of stones whistled and fell on the city wall!

boom!

A stone hit the corner of the city gate tower, causing the eaves to collapse and scattered stones and mud dust.

An archer on a stone arrow tower was hit by a stone and fell from the arrow tower, dying tragically.

The catapult is in full swing, clearing the additional defense facilities such as the gate tower, arrow tower, horse face and so on!

Once all the defense facilities are cleared, only the bare city walls are left, and the siege can easily swarm up and occupy the entire city.

There is no shortage of stones in the Taishan area, so the Xuzhou army can prepare a large number of stones for siege.

The catapult bombed for three days in a row, and the city bricks fell off a lot, exposing the rammed earth.

Ten tall siege towers were ready, each twelve meters high, requiring several hundred soldiers to push.

Le Yi personally sat in town and urged the army to attack the city.

Tens of thousands of people were besieged from three directions, and even the captured Qingzhou troops were used as cannon fodder and engaged in a brutal siege battle.

Cao Gui, one of the few famous generals in the state of Lu, personally defended the city and led the soldiers of Taishan County to defend the city by virtue of the city wall.

The city wall is the only way to bridge the gap between the second-rate and the first-rate.

A large amount of kerosene and rolling stones poured down, and the Qingzhou army clinging to the city wall was injured and rolled down, with corpses everywhere.

During this period, Li Guang, Hua Mulan, and Joan of Arc planned to lead the team to attack Fenggaocheng, but they were rejected by Chutian.

Not only does this city have 30,000 defenders, it is backed by Mount Tai, and there is also a famous general who presides over the defense, which is more difficult than attacking Fei County.

It is impossible for Chutian to let his famous generals take risks for a city.

Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find.

Tao Qian and Yuan Shu had more soldiers and more food, but they lacked famous generals.

Attacking a city that is not absolutely necessary and sacrificing famous generals will have too much impact on the back.

If it is a battle that decides the life and death of the forces, Chu Tian dares to gamble all the generals.

Le Yi's offensive was fierce, but he was unable to capture the most fortified city in Taishan County in a short period of time.

Chu Tian asked Le Yi about how many soldiers would have to die to take the city.

"About 30,000 soldiers and 20,000 to 30,000 civilians were killed and wounded, and the city could be captured within ten days."

Le Yi gave Chutian the specific price as a reference.

"This price is too tragic. After this battle, our legions will be greatly damaged."

"The northern part of Langya Kingdom only relies on the White Pao Army and the Langya Defense Army, with about 30,000 troops, and it is difficult to resist Zhao Gongzi's army of half Qingzhou. If Zhao Gongzi comes with all his strength, then there will be at least 70,000-80,000 troops. Professional soldier. He also has a Yellow Turban army in his hands, and the number of the Yellow Turban army can reach 100,000 at any time as long as he wants."

"Therefore, we must take Taishan County as soon as possible. Do the two military advisers have any ideas?"

Facing the stubbornly resisting Taishan County defenders, Chutian asked Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui for their opinions.

Many emperors are bowing in the siege battle, especially the city in front of them is built on Mount Tai, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Chutian was unwilling to consume too many troops for the siege, and he still had many enemies to deal with.

Fang Xuanling said: "Master, can you remember how we captured Tancheng, which was defended by Leyi? Even if Fenggao relies on Mount Tai to build the city, no matter how strong it is, it can be broken from the inside."

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling sang a harmony: "The lord is very prestigious among the aliens, and when he attacked Tancheng, the lord rewarded the person who captured Leyi alive with a thousand taels of gold. This can be said to keep his promise. Just spread the news, if the aliens in the city surrendered the city. , not only pardoned, but can still maintain their current status, they trust the lord, why worry about them not surrendering?"

Another scheming...

Although this method is old-fashioned, it is indeed very practical.

"Those who surrendered to the city will be rewarded with three hundred taels of gold, and they will be promoted to county magistrates, and they will never be held accountable!"

"Cao Executioner alive, reward one hundred taels!"

Using the prestige of the first lord, Chutian began to provoke the relationship between the defenders in the city.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man!
