Chapter 963 Xuzhou beacon fires rise again

In Qu County, Xuzhou, Jiangdong Army warships appeared on the sea, and the merchants and civilians in Qu County were all panicked.

The number of ships of the Jiangdong Army reached thousands!

The huge tower ship was undulating on the sea, and hundreds of soldiers stood on the decks of the tower ship, with a cold light.

Tongque, Zhou Yu and Xie Xuan stood on the city wall. They could see hundreds of merchant ships in Quxian Port and the panicked people at the wharf.

"Xuzhou is the basic foundation of Chu Zimou. His main force transferred to the Central Plains and attacked Jingxiang is a good opportunity to attack Xuzhou and Qingzhou."

The Jiangdong Navy of Tongque was also rampant in the coastal areas.

Zhou Yu, one after another, as a navy general, Lu Meng has bonuses to the fleet, improving the fleet's navigation capabilities and reducing losses during the cruise.

"Retreat to the city!"

The rich family of Qu County, Mi Zhu, was at the port and was preparing to lead a merchant fleet to trade in Japan.

When he saw the Jiangdong Army's Suzaku Battle Flag appear, Mi Zhu's face turned pale.

As one of the senior leaders of the Xia army, Mi Zhu naturally knew the flag of the Wu army.

The Fubo army was attacking the Goryeo Kingdom at this time and it was impossible for it to appear here.

The large merchant ship originally loaded with cargo was abandoned by Mi Zhu and a group of merchants, and the hero cut off his arm.

If you are captured by the Wu army, you may be killed or blackmailed by the Wu army.

As a commercial port, Qu County has basically no fortifications, because Chu Tian believes that offense is the best defense.

This is also the first time Qu County was attacked by the enemy.

Facing the Wu army at least 200,000 troops, hundreds of city defense troops in Qu County were unable to defend at all.

Rather than saying it is a city defense force, it is just a yamen runner who maintains public order in normal times.

The first batch of five hundred women's soldiers teleported out of the teleportation array in Qu County came out. Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning strided heavily and led the women's soldiers to take over the county government in Qu County.

Li Xiuning was named the Central Guard Army by Chu Tian and was already a senior leader of the Imperial Guard Army. When the war broke out, Li Xiuning's level was much greater than that of the county magistrate, and could even order the governor.

"Master Zhonggu Army, Wu Army... The Wu Army has thousands of warships, at least 100,000! Our Qu County has only 500 low-level soldiers and less than 100 war horses, so we cannot defend at all!"

The magistrate of Qu County's face was not just pale, but his face was bloodless.

The county magistrate of Qu County has always had to develop the economy, but this time when a strong enemy attacked, Qu County was in danger.

Li Xiuning came to calm the people: "No need to panic. The teleportation arrays of the counties in Xuzhou have been occupied by the King of Xia. Tens of thousands of reinforcements are gathering in Qu County, and this city will be preserved."

Mi Zhu also came to the county government office: "Our Mi family is willing to donate 1 million taels of silver as military supplies, and recruit another 3,000 strong men to defend the city."

The county magistrate of Qu County was moved.

This is 1 million taels of silver!

Because Mi Zhu was threatened by Qu County where the Mi family was located, he directly donated one million taels of silver to defend Qu County.

The Mi family's tyranny is the most prominent in Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang held high positions in Chutian's power, and Chutian intended to hand over the trade in Japan to the Mi family for management, so the Mi family was rich enough to rival the country. In Qu County, even the county magistrate had to look at the Mi family's expression.

Because Li Xiuning was Xia Tianliang's guard, she didn't need to rely on the Mi family's breath and clasped her fists and said, "I'm here to be my Lord Mi."

"Without the King of Xia, there would be no prosperity of the Mi family, just one million taels of silver."

Mi Zhu waved his hand.

Compared with Chutian's huge finances, the Mi family's one million taels of silver is nothing. The Chutian's military pay and military supplies expenditures amount to tens of millions of silver every month.

Li Xiuning came to defend the city in person, and the Detachment of Women came one after another from the teleportation array.

The number of people that the teleportation array can transmit every day is limited, about 10,000 people.

The merchant ships anchored at the port were plundered by the Jiangdong Army and lost a large amount of cargo.

But compared with his own lives, although merchants such as Mi Zhu felt sorry for their losses, they still thought that their lives were more important.

"Xuzhou is really rich enough to rival a country under the development of Chu Zima..."

Tongque saw soldiers from Jiangdong Army snatching ships from Qu County, and each ship was loaded with goods that were about to be transported to Japan. The goods of each merchant ship may be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, or even more.

Xuzhou is undoubtedly the richest state at present, because Chu Tian built a large number of special buildings in Langya Kingdom and has various bonuses.

Chu Tian’s ambition was not only to unify the Han Empire, but also to control Goryeo, Japan and America from Xiacheng, so he never gave up Xiacheng.

Chang'an and Luoyang are located in the hinterland of the Han Empire. It is the best choice to control the Han Empire, but as the importance of sea control increases, Chu Tian's gaze needs to be longer-term.

However, when the enemy turned into the Wu army with a huge fleet, the once peaceful Xuzhou became the battlefield again.

The Jiangdong Navy directly bypassed the Jianghuai defense line and approached the Langya Kingdom.

If Xia City of Langya Kingdom is captured, then for the Chutian forces, it will not only lose a giant city, but also the morale of all legions will decline.

"Just robbed Xuzhou merchant ships are enough to make up for the military expenditure of this Northern Expedition. The northern Jiangsu plain is conducive to cavalry operations, and even if we capture this place, it is difficult to defend. We go to attack the hilly areas in the eastern part of Langya Kingdom, which is conducive to our infantry and crossbow defense."

Tongque gave up attacking Qu County, believing that the northern Jiangsu plains are easy to attack and difficult to defend.

This is also the most troublesome part of the Northern Expedition. Even if Xuzhou is captured, it will be difficult to defend.

However, there is also a choice between the hilly terrain of Shandong.

The news of the Jiangdong Navy attacking Qu County and looting merchant ships spread to the entire Xuzhou, and people were in panic for a while.

Xuzhou has not had any wars for ten years!

In Xihai County in the eastern part of Langya Kingdom, tens of thousands of Northern Prefecture troops came ashore and easily captured this unprepared county town and threatened Xiacheng!

Before the arrival of the Eastern Wu Navy, the county magistrate of Xihai County had already begun to migrate to Ju County. When the Eastern Wu Navy arrived, the few low-ranking soldiers in the place fled without fighting.

The 600,000 imperial guards that were originally gathered in Xuchang had to withdraw to Langya Kingdom one after another, interfering with Chu Tian's plan to capture Nanyang County.

"In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the Wu Kingdom attacked Qi, and the two sides had already fought on the sea. Tongque wanted to follow the war between Wu Kingdom and Qi, attack Xuzhou and Qingzhou from the sea, forcing me to return to the defense and give up attacking Jingzhou. All this is almost the same as your judgment a few days ago."

After the Jiangdong Navy disappeared, the Jiangdong Navy had several possible attack locations.

Chu Tian, ​​Xia Tianliang, Sun Bin and others all imagined that the Jiangdong Navy attacked Xuzhou, but when the Tong Bird really crossed the sea to attack Xuzhou and Qingzhou, Chu Tian was still shocked by his big moves.

The current Tongque has different courage than Sun Quan in history.

The bronze bird's offensive opened and closed, and it was so angry that it was Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

"In the battlefield of the Goryeo Kingdom, Marshall of the United States sent the Fire Dragon Army, and the shogun Oda Nobunaga sent the Shimazu family and Tachibank family to support the Goryeo King Lee Seung-kyu. The counterattack of the Goryeo Kingdom may be extremely fierce."

It was not just the Jiangdong Navy who crossed the sea to attack Xuzhou, but the war in the Goryeo Kingdom fell into a stalemate after the initial destruction.

"We have limited knowledge of the United States, and it seems that it needs to buy a group of United States players to obtain the intelligence we want, who may be powerful enemies in the future."

Chu Tian first heard about the Fire Dragon Legion.

In other civilized areas, Chu Tian can also use the hero rankings to roughly know their strength.

But there are no historical heroes in the American Civilization Zone, and they only have powerful troops. Therefore, Chu Tian could not understand the strength of the American Civilization Zone.

The United States established the Fire Dragon, Griffon, Crusader and other legions, among which the Fire Dragon Legion is a legion dominated by dragon cavalry.

Tachibana Yuki and Shimazu Yoshihiro are considered to be a good general. Japanese samurai have the characteristics of "Bushido", so their explosive combat power is not weak, at least they are stronger than the soldiers of the Koryo Kingdom.

Chu Tian did not agree with Tadun being captured on the battlefield of the Goryeo Kingdom, because Tadun's life and death were not important and would not affect the overall situation.

The injured Xu Sheng was transferred back to Qingzhou to recuperate by Chu Tian.

"Order Le Yi to capture Xijing as soon as possible, occupy the northern territory of Goryeo, and confront Li Chenggui."

Because of the United States and the Japanese shogunate strongly intervened in Goryeo, Chu Tian would be unable to destroy Li Chenggui for a while, so he retreated and occupied the northern part of Goryeo, and divided Goryeo into two.

The prerequisite for occupying half of the country of Goryeo is that Le Yi can capture Xijing of Goryeo as soon as possible and use Xijing as the station of the Liaodong Army in Goryeo.

The coalition formed by Li Chenggui, Brand, Leather Hanamichi and Yoshihiro Shimazu have begun to go north to support the Xijing garrison Jiang Hanzan.

An uprising broke out in Yizhou City in Goryeo and a mountain city near Anzhou City, and Le Yi's retreat was unstable.

So Chu Tian ordered one after another: "Let Li Mu's Mo Nan army and Prince Yan's Mo Bei army go to Goryeo to support Le Yi."

Almost all the legions established by Chu Tian were sent out to defeat all the powerful enemies.

Chu Tian's 600,000 imperial guards were divided into two groups, returning to Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and continued to stay in the Central Plains and attacking Nanyang County with Wu Qi.

The fire in Bowangpo disappeared, Wu Qi, Wei Wuji, and Cao Ren's army marched southward and marched towards Wancheng.

The reinforcements from Xinye, Xiangyang and Jiangxia also aimed at Wancheng and launched a large-scale support for Wancheng.

The troops entering Nanyang County one after another were hundreds of thousands of!
