Chapter 257 The strong enemy from the north(2/2)

Zhao Long and Shi Wansui came to seek refuge, which was undoubtedly a big help during the National War. It would be better to say that they came just in time.

Zhao Long couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Chu Tian's address to the arriving doctor: "Yuanhua, is this Hua Tuo?!"

Chu Tian remained silent. In other words, he admitted that this doctor was the miracle doctor Hua Tuo!

"I didn't expect Hua Tuo to be here with you. It's really enviable. Is this the appeal of a state pastor?"

Zhao Longdu couldn't help but sigh at the abundance of talents under Chu Tian's command. Even a doctor in the force was a historical figure!

"Hua Tuo is only temporarily living and traveling in Xuzhou. It is estimated that it is difficult for anyone to really make Hua Tuo serve the government."

While chatting with Zhao Long in Chutian, the military craftsman had already prepared the siege equipment, and under the command of Le Yi, the siege began!

Le Yi's offensive was so fierce that the Spanish lords were defeated and simply abandoned the city and fled.

Chu Tian arranged an ambush outside the city. When the Spanish lord escaped from another city gate, ambushes spread everywhere and another victory was achieved.

Chu Tian came to the city, captured a group of Spanish knights and servants, and recruited them to surrender.

This was the second city that Chutian conquered on the battlefield of the National War.

"There is a city forty miles to the north that originally belonged to me, but it should have been occupied by Ekaterina at this time... Why do you have so many servants in your tribe? Are they all willing to serve you? Are you not afraid of them?

Will you rebel?"

Zhao Long knew that the servant army was suitable to be cannon fodder, and the monthly salary paid was only half of that of the Eastern Han Dynasty soldiers. But the disadvantage of the servant army was that its loyalty was doubted. If there was no means to restrain them, they would easily rebel.

In history, there were often rebellions by servant armies.

For example, in the Battle of Talos in 751 AD, the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty fought with the Arab Empire. As a result, the servant army rebelled, leading to the defeat of the Anxi Protectorate.

The servant army is cheap, but it depends on whether you dare to use it.

"I have my own means."

Chu Tian didn't even mention to Zhao Long that he had the characteristics of "Khan of Heaven".

The captured Spanish knights were trembling in front of Chu Tian. The possibility of betrayal was not impossible, but with the "Khan of Heaven" suppressing them, they would be willing to be dogs for Chu Tian.

Since the Spanish knights are willing to be dogs, Chutian will also use them to deal with Yekaterina who may go south at any time.

Chutian occupies two cities in the south, while Catherine has occupied three cities in the north. The spheres of influence of both sides are bordering each other, which means conflict.

The battlefield of the National War was not just a confrontation between two people. There were also two lords nearby, Lee Min-cheol, the lord of Korea, and Takeda Tadayoshi, the lord of Japan, who occupied a western city.

"Before we can face Ekaterina, we must completely eliminate Lee Min-cheol and Takeda Tadayoshi to eliminate any worries. Otherwise, they will become the final winners."

Chu Tian proposed the strategy of first going northwest and then going north.

By killing Lee Min-cheol and Takeda Tadayoshi, not only can you gain the third city, but you can also seize the Takeda family's red cavalry to serve as cannon fodder.

Zhao Long was still brooding over the failure: "As long as you help me deal with Yekaterina, I can send Shi Wansui to help you. Isn't your general Zhao Yun injured? Shi Wansui can temporarily replace him."

After a short weighing, Chu Tian finally agreed: "Deal."

"The commander-in-chief of the Takeda Akabi Cavalry is Masaki Yamagata, one of the 'Four Takeda Ministers'. He is a brave man, but my general Shi Manzai will let him know what a true warrior is."
