"Zheng Zhilong of the Fubo Legion occupied Jeju Island, obtained 70,000 to 80,000 war horses, and captured Lee Sun-chen, the navy general of the Goryeo Kingdom."

When Chu Tian was besieging Yecheng, he received a battle report from the Fubo Legion.

This time, the Fubo Legion was completely on the initiative when the surprise attack on Jeju Island, while the Goryeo Kingdom was busy dealing with the Liaodong Legion and was not prepared. It is not surprising that Zheng Zhilong made such a victory.

The biggest gain may not be the 70,000 to 80,000 war horses, but the captive of Li Shunchen.

Mingguan has a tendency to destroy Goryeo. If Li Shunchen falls into Mingguan's hands, it will cause considerable trouble to the Fubo Legion.

The Fubo Legion does need to accommodate more talents. Even in Goryeo, there are still a few talents who can watch it.

"Let Zheng Zhilong raise horses locally and engage in trade in Qingxu, Goryeo and Japan. He tried to be gentle with Li Shunchen."

Chu Tian ordered.

In the Goryeo Kingdom, Chu Tian can drink some soup, and his focus is on managing Hebei.

The North China Plain is more fertile than the Goryeo Kingdom.

"Let Cheng Yu conquer 100,000 local brave men in Yanzhou and besiege Yecheng."

Outside Yecheng, Chu Tian's army was building earthen mountains, and the earthen mountains rose up one by one, and at the same time, digging tunnels and driving directly below Yecheng to prepare for a strong attack.

The craftsmen who followed the army made siege machines, chariots, collision cars, crossbows, ladders and other siege equipment.

The food and grass in Yecheng can be eaten for eight or nine months. If it is just a siege, Zhao Long's main force must have already conquered Taiyuan.

Chu Tian planned to launch a fierce attack on Yecheng to see if he could capture Yecheng in a short time.

During this period, Liu Bei's military advisor Wang Meng continued to send cavalry to interfere with Chu Tian's army and once destroyed a mountain of earth.

Liu Bei's army was stationed between Yecheng and Handan, and the supply line was very short, so there was basically no need to worry about food and grass.

If Chu Tian wants to attack Liu Bei, he must leave some troops to surround Yecheng, and the supply line will be longer.

Wang Meng knew that Chu Tian crossed the Yellow River from the north and came from afar, and the food and grass were loaded with heavy food and grass, so he adopted the attack tactics of a small cavalry unit, which made Chu Tian unable to bear the disturbance and unable to concentrate on siege the city.

The Yecheng defenders learned that Liu Bei's reinforcements were in the north, and their morale rose sharply and there was no tendency to fall.

The Liu Bei army did not fight against Chu Tian head-on, but instead brought greater trouble to Chu Tian. Liu Bei army had already had some prototypes of guerrilla warfare.

Seeing that Chu Tian was frowning for several days, Xun You proposed: "You can leave a legion to surround Yecheng, and the remaining troops will bypass Yecheng, cross the Zhang River at night, and quickly defeat Liu Bei. Liu Bei leaned against the Fengshui River. After his defeat, he would be unable to escape for a while and would suffer heavy damage."

"It makes sense."

Xun You's words strengthened Chu Tian's determination to defeat Liu Bei head-on.

"Miss Xia and the First servants besieged Yecheng. The rest of the people gathered their energy and crossed the Zhang River overnight. They defeated Liu Bei's army in the early morning. After the victory, they rewarded the three armies!"

Chu Tian knew that if Liu Bei was not destroyed as soon as possible, it would be a long way from capturing Yecheng.

Out of trust in Xia Tianliang, Chu Tian handed over the mission of besieging the city to her and Joan of Arc, and left the four tigers of the Northern Army, ordering them to protect Miss Xia no matter what.

As for the others, follow Chu Tian to act.

At night, more than 100,000 troops gathered secretly and marched to the north.

All of them were the white-robed legions of light cavalry, and the speed army opened the road ahead and built a floating bridge.

In the north, in Liu Bei's army, military advisor Wang Meng was also making arrangements.

"According to scouts, Chu Zimou used ships to transport a large amount of food and grass to Yecheng. If this batch of food and grass could be burned, Chu Zimou would definitely withdraw his troops."

"Chu Zimou's war eagle can only play a role in the daytime, but at night, it will no longer have any advantages. Ashinosheer, you lead a light cavalry to attack its food and grass. If there is any disadvantage, retreat immediately and do not fight greedy."

"The rest of the troops went south to cross the Zhang River and attacked Chu Zimou's camp in the early morning to gain opportunities for Asunaser to burn food and grass in the chaos."

Wang Meng deployed one by one.

Asunaser was good at raiding, and his cavalry speed was second only to Xiahou Yuan, so Wang Meng sent him to attack food and grass. The main force of Liu Bei's army was just a feint attack.

After Liu Bei's army was raising its strength, it began to set off its camp and march south.

Both Chu Tian and Liu Bei's army wanted to kill each other. The two armies coincided and marched towards each other on the same day.

Asunaser went south through the bend of Zhangshui, while Liu Bei's main force attacked from the front.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were once again vanguarded, and led the cavalry south to take the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and the 18th Snake Spear. This time they not only brought light cavalry, but also heavy cavalry such as Youzhou Tucao.

Although they were a little dissatisfied with Wang Meng, Wang Meng did cause a lot of trouble to Chu Tian and was always taking the initiative.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei approached the Zhang River, there was a sudden hustle and bustle ahead.

Zhang Fei widened his eyes and something happened before he could cross the Zhang River?

The cavalry in the front rushed to report: "Two generals, the vanguards fought with the enemy!"

Guan Yu was the first to react: "No, the thief army crossed the river must have been to attack us, which coincided with us."

Zhang Fei scratched his head: "We led the cavalry to assault, drove them down the Zhang River, and all drowned! Drive!"

After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he led the cavalry in his headquarters to conduct an assault!

Guan Yu thought for a moment and might not lose when encountering a night battle, so he carried the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and fought with Zhang Fei against the Chutian army heading north.

Chu Tian led the five Northern Army divisions, the Hu Ben Army (Taishi Ci), the Xuanjia Army (Yuchi Gong), the Jianyan Army (Liang Hongyu), the Scout Army (Hua Mulan) and other guards in the rear. When he heard the shouts of killing from the Zhangshui side, he was first surprised, and then helpless.

His plan is almost exactly the same as Wang Meng. Now the surprise attacks between the two sides have become an encounter.

"The Yulin Legion and the Tiger Legion cross the river from the left and right wings to conduct a pincer attack. The offensive legion crosses the river from the front, supports the White Robe Legion, the Speed ​​Legion, and the Invincible Legion, as a reserve."

Chu Tian quickly issued an order, and after receiving the order, the commanders of each legion began to take action immediately.

"Cross the river, cross the river!"

Cao Cao personally stood by the floating bridge and urged the tiger and leopard cavalry to cross the river from the floating bridge set up on the right.

Seeing that his legion commander was working so hard, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry rushed to the other side.

The Tiger and Leopard Legion has five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry and a group of low-level light cavalry.

The two armies were caught in an uncontrollable melee, beyond the expectations of both sides.

The battle that took place in Zhangshui can be heard by even the defenders of Yecheng.

Xia Tianliang yawned and said to Li Xiuning: "You lead the Detachment of Women to strengthen the protection of food and grass, and let Joan of Arc divide an army to give you. Her deputy general, Jill, can go to protect food with you. You can just lie on both sides. If an enemy comes, attack it."

"yes!"

Li Xiuning led thousands of women's army, and Jier, the deputy general of the Saint Legion, led a 20,000 servant army, one left and one right, to protect the food and grass that was crucial to the Chutian army.

Joan of Arc was monitoring the defenders of Yecheng. Her servants had more soldiers than the defenders, and the defenders did not dare to fight at all.

After the deployment, despite the shouts of killing not far away, Xia Tianliang fell asleep peacefully wrapped in bedding, muttering to himself in his sleep: "Chu Tian, ​​I want to squeeze you dry..."

...

"It's you again!"

Zhang Fei pulled out the snake spear, and a white-robed cavalry fell off his horse.

With the fire, he saw Xue Rengui who was heading straight for him.

This is the third time that Zhang Fei fought with Xue Rengui.

"I asked you to escape twice before, and I can't go back and forth!"

Xue Rengui's Fang Tian Painted Spear was slashed down on his head and blocked by Zhang Fei!

Xue Rengui pressed his hands on Fang Tian's painting halberd, and the Snake Spear sank. Zhang Fei was shocked, but he was unforgivable: "If you have the ability, catch your grandpa Zhang!"

However, when Zhang Fei saw Zhao Yun coming again, he was immediately scared. He could not stop the two powerful generals.

The Speed ​​Legion followed the White Robe Legion, and Chen Qingzhi, Xiahou Yuan and Xu Rong were responsible for cleaning up the cavalry brought by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The white-robed cavalry was elusive at night and killed the Youzhou cavalry.

Among the Youzhou cavalry, the Youzhou cavalry led by Guan Yu, as a heavy cavalry, caused huge casualties to the light cavalry of the Shenfa Legion.

Guan Yu temporarily commanded the Youzhou Tuqi and Zhutu light cavalry. The heavy cavalry covered with large armor was comparable to the iron plow, and there were corpses everywhere!

Any light cavalry that stood in front of Youzhou's thunder cavalry will be defeated!

Xiahou Yuan shot an arrow and hit the Youzhou cavalry in the face and shot him to death.

"Avoid this heavy rider and shoot with a bow and crossbow!"

Facing Guan Yu, a heavy cavalry, the large number of light cavalry could only avoid it, and then used cavalry and shooting to take away a group of Youzhou thunder cavalry.

Guan Yu held a knife and headed straight for Xiahou Yuan!

Seeing that Guan Yu was coming in a fierce manner, Xiahou Yuan shot three arrows at him, and retreated into the army without showing off his courage.

Guan Yu flew three arrows, and when the Qinglong Yanyue Sword collided with the arrow, the sound was crisp and a light sound was made.

"What's the reason for fighting but not daring to fight?"

Guan Yu raised his sword and killed a light cavalry, and was very despised by Xiahou Yuan for avoiding the battle.

Xiahou Yuan felt sad. He was really not a match for Guan Yu when fighting alone. Moreover, Guan Yu's explosive power was extremely strong. If he underestimated the enemy, he might be killed by him.

However, Guan Yu's endurance may not be as good as Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and he is easily injured. Chu Tian's order to Xiahou Yuan was to fire a cold arrow and consume Guan Yu.

"Zilong, if you go to the enemy of Guan Yu, you will leave the ring-eyed thief to deal with me!"
