The three chief generals of the Central Plains Army, Wu Qi, Wei Wuji and Cao Ren, came to see Chu Tian.

Cao Ren was very determined to fight, but Wu Qi and Wei Wuji looked calm and seemed not so crazy about drinking horses and Yangtze River.

The Central Plains Army also had generals such as Pang Juan, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Li Dian.

The army that went south to attack Wancheng, Xinye and Xiangfan came from the Central Plains Army and the Imperial Guards.

The Central Plains is a narrow sense of Central Plains, and its control range includes more than a dozen counties and states in Yuzhou and Yanzhou.

Wu Qi spread a map on the desk.

"Attacking Wancheng, you must pass the Xia Road in Fangcheng. Guo Ziyi stationed 80,000 troops in Bowangpo, trying to curb the royal army."

"If you defeat Guo Ziyi and besiege Wancheng, the defender of Wancheng will be Zhang Xun. After years of reinforcement, it will be easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you can't attack quickly, you will bypass Wancheng, capture Xinye, and intercept the Song and Wu army that support Wancheng."

Wu Qi is marking the offensive route on the topographic map.

Nanyang County is a large county with a population of millions. It is full of efforts to recruit troops to defend it, but it can obtain 200,000 troops. It is said that Tang is a considerable prince.

The Central Plains Army had 300,000 and the Imperial Guards had 600,000, so there was enough troops to implement Wu Qi's offensive plan.

If you really can't defeat Wancheng, which Zhang Xun is guarding, you can use some of your troops to siege Wancheng, and the rest of your troops to bypass Wancheng and attack Xinye.

Then……

"Upgrade Xinye into a large city, open the teleportation array, and directly bypass Wancheng to transport troops and food and grass, and advance to Xiangfan. Wancheng becomes an isolated city. Once the food and grass are exhausted or Fancheng is captured, Wancheng will inevitably surrender to us."

The tactics adopted by Wu Qi are similar to the leap tactics. For cities that cannot be captured quickly, they can avoid them, attack other strategic cities, and then turn back to attack.

This is a feasible strategy.

but……

As the commander of the Warring States Period, Wu Qi may not have a deep understanding of the power of firearms.

Chu Tian has Red Cannons and an eight-level firearm battalion. In a year, he has accumulated nearly 1,000 solid bullets.

The role of the Red Cannon is not just to scare cavalry, but to siege the city. The power of the Red Cannon is even more terrifying than a catapult.

If Chu Tian is determined to attack a city, even if the opponent has a top defending general and a strong city, Chu Tian can use 24 red cannons, plus more than a few hundred giant catapults and giant siege towers, recruit millions of troops, and attack the city day and night to capture it.

It’s just that Chu Tian has to see whether the price he paid is proportional to the profit he obtained.

Chu Tian wants to see this time whether Zhang Xun, a famous general defending the city, is powerful or his own Red Barbarian Cannon.

"The King of Song is in Xiangyang, and Fancheng has accumulated heavy troops. The King of Wu has released the captured generals such as Han Shizhong, and Han Shizhong and others have returned to Xiangyang. The ones stationed in Xinye are Cai Mao, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong, with about 70,000 troops."

Xueyue, who was in charge of intelligence, appeared in the camp at this time and participated in the formulation of tactics.

Xueyue rarely appears in front of everyone, but she is actually one of the important senior executives of Chutian's power. She usually walks in the night with brocade clothes, so she rarely shows up in public.

"In order to deal with me, King Wu Tongque even tolerate King Song separating Nanjun and releasing the captured military generals. He is a powerful enemy."

Chu Tian rarely noticed the player lord of Tongque. His popularity was suppressed by Chu Tian, ​​Lao Qin, and Mingguan, but carefully observing the rise of Tongque, he was also an amazing person.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Tongque tried every means to become sworn brothers with Sun Jian, and as the prefect of Lujiang, he led the troops of Lujiang County to Jiangdong to capture the land of Jiangdong and pacify Baiyue.

He attacked the King of Song Yang Shilang, occupied Jiangxia County, divided Jingzhou into two, annexed Jingnan, and forced Yang Shilang to be the minister.

If it weren't for the too much pressure brought by Chu Tian, ​​perhaps Tongque wouldn't have had a peace talk with Yang Shilang.

The peace talks with Yang Shilang are no less than a hero who cuts his arm. The bronze bird failed to completely unify Jingzhou and Yangzhou, but it brought pressure to Chu Tian.

The bronze bird did not push Yang Shiro to the Chutian camp, which made Yang Shiro always think that there was still a chance to compete for the world.

After all, when Liu Bei almost surrendered to Sun Quan, he could turn the tables on the battle of Red Cliffs.

Now Yang Shilang still has the entire Nanjun, Xiangyang and Jiangling two big cities in Yang Shilang are still in the hands of Yang Shilang.

Tongque even returned half of Jiangxia County to Yang Shilang to win over Yang Shilang.

From this perspective, it can be imagined that the bronze croaker is not that simple.

Sun Jian has also had a bad relationship with Chu Tian recently.

Sun Jian believed that Chu Tian violated the agreement of the marriage, and Chu Tian didn't know how to deal with the agreement with Sun Jian.

This is the disadvantage of political marriage, and all kinds of unexpected contradictions will always arise.

"I will be prepared to go south by Cao Cao of the Hebei Army. He may need to support Jianghuai."

When Chu Tian was conquering Nanyang County, he was worried about Jianghuai.

The military general who had been attacking Hefei in the past was Sun Jian. Now that Tongque has ended the war with Jingzhou, it is very likely that he will personally conquer Hefei, or even bypass Hefei, which was guarded by Yue Fei, and turn to attack Guangling County.

Yue Fei's Jianghuai Army's origins from Jiujiang County, Guangling County, and Runan County. There were about 200,000 troops. Facing the Jiangdong Army that was coming out in full swing, he lost four hands with his fists. If Yue Fei was surrounded in Hefei City, the Jiangdong Army might choose to avoid Yue Fei.

Therefore, Chu Tian ordered Cao Cao to prepare for his support from the south.

"Then, let's arrange it like this."

Chu Tian roughly agreed to Wu Qi's plan.

This time, there were four important cities that needed to be captured in Nanyang County, Wancheng, Xinye, Fancheng and Xiangyang.

"Tomorrow, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun will be the pioneers."

Chu Tian firmly destroyed the princes of Nanyang County and said that after the Tang Dynasty, he formally sent 900,000 troops to move south.

Chu Tian thought of the Heavenly King Fu Jian of the Former Qin Dynasty at this time.

In the Battle of Feishui, Fu Jian dispatched more than 800,000 troops to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was defeated by 80,000 Northern Prefecture Army. The remaining soldiers and horses of Former Qin were all defeated.

The nine hundred thousand army also faces a problem, that is, there are very few battlefields that can accommodate such a huge force, and even the roads will be trampled by the nine hundred thousand army...

The enemy will most likely not choose to fight a decisive battle with the 900,000 army in the open plain terrain.

Therefore, the actual battlefield may be a collision between the vanguard forces.

"Taishici, you lead the Qiexue army and go to help."

Chu Tian sent the Qiexue army among the Iron Cavalry Army of the Iron Guards, and went south together with Cao Ren and Cao Hong's Iron Wall Legion to serve as a vanguard.

"yes."

Taishici rolled over the horse and carried a longbow on his back.

Cao Ren and Cao Hong looked at each other and also got on their own.

Every military general is eager to make achievements. This battle to pacify Jingzhou is their only chance to make military achievements.

One-eyed Xiahou Dun followed them to fight.
