Chapter 238

"Capture Tancheng, capture Leyi alive!"

At the urging of the superintendents, a group of captured Xuzhou infantry attacked Tancheng day and night, causing two or three thousand casualties every day.

Facing the attack of the army of Langya state, Tancheng remained firm and firm.

Li Guang attacked with his soldiers many times, trying to climb first, but was blocked by a ten meter high wall, which was difficult to break.

Leyi defends the city in person, prepares all kinds of defense equipment, and has 30000 soldiers to defend. If he wants to capture Tancheng by force, he needs at least 100000 elite.

Fang Xuanling, a military adviser, frowned at Tancheng for days.

Li Guang and Xiandeng team withdraw, disheartened, complain to Fang Xuanling: "there is no flaw in the defense of the other party. At this time, strong attack is not the best policy."

Fang Xuanling nodded in silence.

"I also ask the master to persuade him to attack the heart and attack the city. A strong attack on Tancheng will only consume low-level soldiers and labor force, and the morale of the army will decline due to repeated attacks. Once the morale drops, the garrison in the city will come out of the city for surprise attack. "

Zhou Yafu, who had always been calm, also took the initiative to find Fang Xuanling.

At this time, only Fang Xuanling's words could be heard by Chu Tian.

"Half of the troops were lost in a battle, and the generals were killed, even Miss Xia It is inevitable that the Lord will lose control. Now that we have been storming Tancheng for three days, with 6000 or 7000 prisoners killed and injured, my Lord should calm down. "

Fang Xuanling knew that when a man was angry, his blood splashed five steps, and when the emperor was angry, his body would be buried for a million yuan and his blood would flow thousands of Li. As a lord of millions of people, Chu Tian was really angry, and it was not impossible for tens of thousands of people to die in battle.

"Ordered the siege to stop and besiege."

"My Lord."

When the generals saw Chu Tian appear, his expression seemed to recover calm.

Chu Tian came out of the camp and looked at the generals who were constantly attacking Tancheng during the three days. Seeing that they were tired, Chu Tian gave the order to stop attacking the city.

If you work hard, you may be able to take down Tancheng.

However, the three-day strong attack shows that Tancheng is really indestructible.

Chu Tian also calmed down during this period.

There is no need to sacrifice the captured Xuzhou infantry, because after Chutian becomes a Xuzhou herdsman, they will become a member of the new Xuzhou army to attack the city and pull out the stronghold for him.

"Leyi's attack is sharp and the city is equally impregnable. He is really a troublesome opponent."

Chu Tian surrounds Leyi in Tancheng, but he has nothing to do with him.

Tancheng has a series of fortifications, such as strong city walls, gate towers, arrow towers, and gates. It also has sufficient defense equipment and a member of a famous general, even if there are 100000 troops unable to conquer.

The next step is the endless siege. When the enemy's soldiers are short of food, they will surrender.

In addition, the army of Leyi killed Chu Tian a lot. Chu Tian understood why Cao Cao slaughtered the city when he attacked Xuzhou.

Sometimes it's really irritating. Even Xiao Xiong loses his mind.

"Military master, how can we break the city as soon as possible?"

Chutian was not willing to delay too much time in Tancheng, otherwise the Xuzhou allied forces would have enough time to regroup and organize the next attack.

Fang Xuanling replied, "attack the heart and attack the city. Try to lure some foreigners and aristocratic families trapped in the city and divide the garrison

"Do as you say. In addition, those who shoot a note into the city to capture Le Yi alive and open the door to offer the city will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold

According to Fang Xuanling's suggestion to divide the other party, Chu Tian mercilessly takes out 1000 taels of gold as a reward for Leyi.

You can attack Tancheng without a strong attack, and then capture the famous general Le Yi alive. Even if you pay 1000 taels of gold, it is not much.

"Before their internal division, they should dig trenches outside the city, set up soil barriers, and surround them heavily, so as to prevent them from sneaking out of the city. The Navy barracks blocked the water surface of the Yi River, making Tancheng a completely isolated city. "

"It's a little difficult for our troops to completely encircle Tancheng..."

"My Lord, MI Zhu and Mi Fang led the East China Sea rebellion to join together. There are more than 20000 volunteers!"

When Chu Tianzheng was deploying troops to besiege the city, the brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang moved all the way from Qu county of Donghai state to Tancheng of Donghai state, and finally joined forces with Chu Tian.

As for MI Fang's claim that he was fighting against the vanguard general and the unparalleled General of Langya state, Chu Tian was as happy as he could, as long as the MI family gave financial support.

With the victory of the Xuzhou war, the counties of Donghai were terrified. Mi Zhu and Mi Fang did not encounter any obstacles when they marched to Tancheng. Instead, they changed from ten thousand to twenty thousand.

Teams of carriages transported the gold and silver to Chutian's barracks. Mi Zhu's keen sense of smell made him understand that Chutian was short of money, very short of money.

Without money to recruit troops, Chutian could not consolidate the existing achievements and occupy the whole Xuzhou.

At this time, Chutian's return will be greater in the future.

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang finally met Chu Tian who won in Tancheng, and they could not help but feel a bit afraid in their eyes.

By virtue of military achievements, the conqueror naturally has an invisible prestige.

In addition, Chu Tian now has an aristocratic family identity, which is higher than Mi family in the chain of contempt of scholars, farmers, businessmen and businessmen."I have prepared 100000 taels of silver and 50000 Jin of salt to reward the army. It may not be enough. Please don't blame general Fubo. It's hard to raise more in a hurry."

Mi Zhu explained his intention. One or two silver is equal to one thousand copper coins, and one hundred thousand taels is one hundred million yuan.

In a hurry to raise 100000 taels of silver, we can see the financial strength of the MI family.

The main property of the MI family is the assets that are difficult to realize, such as goods, farmland, shops and so on.

"A hundred thousand taels is already quite a lot. I'll remember the kindness of the MI family when it's time for help. "

"There are also more than 20000 rebel troops, many of whom are servants of the lower level. Later, they are the property of general Fubo."

Mi Zhu not only gave money, but also gave people. Even Chu Tian was afraid of his generosity.

I almost didn't give up my sister.

In addition to their military ability, the MI family brothers have nothing to say.

"I will try to make up for the loss of the MI family in this Xuzhou war. Please don't worry. If brother Mi Fang doesn't give up, he will temporarily serve as the other division's Ma to assist Xu Sheng in transporting grain. "

Since Chufang's ability to help Chu Tian's family to deal with this matter is not his ability to help them.

After MI Fang left, in order to win over Mi Zhu, Chu Tian deliberately said: "if it can be done in the future, brother Mi will not lose the position of general and marquis."

In any case, Chu Tian, eager to get gold and silver to supplement his losses, tried to win over Mi Zhu.

Seeing Chu Tian's promise, MI Zhu knew that he could get the position he wanted in the future, so he worked harder: "in the next two months, I should be able to raise another 100000 taels of silver to supplement military funds."

How rich is the MI family near the sea

Chu Tian found that MI Zhu was a hundred thousand taels of silver, which could almost buy a town.

"If you get the support of brother MI, why don't you worry about the big things. If... "

Chu Tian has an inch to advance.

"You may as well say so."

"If brother MI can contact other aristocratic families and ask them to help me to enter Xuzhou and become a new Xuzhou herdsman, that would be fine. But there is no need to be forced. It's only a matter of time before Xuzhou is captured. With the support of the aristocratic family, we can do less damage to our troops. "

"Yes. Maybe the Chens in xiapi are willing to give up

The Chens in xiapi?

Chu Tian knows the characters of Chen Yi and Chen Deng. Both of them are smart people and should know how to adapt.

After three battles, the Beihai state suppressed Qingzhou Huangjin army and Cao Bao's invasion of Langya and Xuzhou, and almost all the troops were destroyed and his prestige was ruined.

Even Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers lost a lot.

Now that Tao Qian's rule in Xuzhou is in jeopardy, and he is willing to support Tao Qian's family, I'm afraid he has to consider the possibility of being eliminated by Chu Tian in the future.

"You go to contact the Chens in xiapi. If they are willing to respond, they will not lose the position of prefect and prime minister."

Chu Tian intends to attract the Chen family.

Chen's father and son were very capable, and being a prefect was enough to reassure Chu Tian.

There are five prefectures in Xuzhou, and each prefecture must have talents to govern. Chutian lacks talents for internal affairs.

Mi Zhu agreed to come down and sent people to lobby the Chens in xiapi.

Mi Fang went to help Xu Sheng transport grain, and Mi Zhu lived in the camp temporarily.

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brought in more than 20000 people, of whom 10000 were professional soldiers and more than 10000 were rural braves.

The professional soldiers were incorporated into the battalions by Chu Tian to replenish their forces, while Xiang Yong went to Xiacheng and transferred to professional soldiers.

Chu Tian's army, which was captured by Xuzhou and reinforced by Mi's family, was greatly boosted, with 70000 or 80000 troops!

It seems that more and more troops are fighting, only Chu Tian knows that half of the elite is lost. These extra miscellaneous soldiers are not as good as those killed in battle.

He needs time to reorganize the army, and then through the baptism of war, in order to truly restore the fundamental.

In the future, when our forces are inferior, we must never confront the heroes of the commander-in-chief type.

The Leyi incident taught Chu Tian a lot of lessons.

There are also intelligence errors.

The real Lord of Xiang Yan secretly contacted the players of XueYue guild and asked for 100 Liang silver, so he got accurate information.

In the future, the identity of the leader of the other side needs to be confirmed repeatedly.

The lords who can survive will be counted by them if they are not careful.

Especially in the case of Chu Tian occupying an advantage, the other side still competes with him for Xuzhou, which is bound to be a little daring.

After half a year, he failed to recruit a large number of soldiers in Beihai.

During the siege, he had ordered the army to fill up all moats and ditches outside Jimo City.

The next step is to face the solid body of Jimo City.

After learning that Chutian had begun to attack Xuzhou, Mr. Zhao accelerated his attack on Jimo.Dourgen, Wu Sangui and Guan Hai have held him back for too long, which seriously affected his development speed.

Qingzhou, like Xuzhou, has a weak local power, and alien lords are popular.

Originally, Mr. Zhao could sweep Qingzhou more quickly. As a result, Jimo City restrained his main force and greatly affected his development speed.

"Chu Zimu has won the battle in Xuzhou, and will be in Xuzhou in a year or two. If I can't break the game, Qingzhou will be his bag."

Mr. Zhao knew that Qingzhou and Xuzhou were not separated. Some people occupied Xuzhou and would certainly plot Qingzhou.

His development speed has been slower than that of Chutian. If he does not speed up the expansion speed, he will not be able to compete with Chutian in the future.

"I will send envoys again to persuade Dourgen, Wu Sangui, Guan Hai and others who are trapped in the city. I am willing to negotiate with them personally before the battle."

Tai Shici has been divorced from the incompetent Kong Rong and has been loyal to Prince Zhao.

Kong Rong and Lu Zhi, as great Confucians, could not compare with each other. They were defeated by the Yellow turban army for many times. In addition, with the sharp contrast between Prince Zhao's repeated battles and victories, Tai Shici decided to follow Mr. Zhao.

He heard that Prince Zhao was going to negotiate with Dourgen in Jimo City, so he proposed to stop him: "Lord, they are like jackals and leopards. They are ambitious and difficult to control."

"After all, they are human beings. If they are human beings, they will have weaknesses and they will be controlled. Their former lords can't use people, but I am different. I have the ability to use them, and I have something they have always wanted but not allowed to. "

The envoys sent by Mr. Zhao arrived in Jimo.

Dourgen, Wu Sangui and Guan Hai were trapped in Jimo. They were confronted with an alien Lord with means and strength. After being besieged, they could not escape from the siege.

Although food is not in short supply, it will eventually run out if it is besieged for another year and a half.

During this period of time, Dourgen and Wu Sangui wanted to get the seventh level cavalry camp, but they could not get it all the time. They were suppressed by Duke Zhao.

"Mr. Zhao's army began to attack strongly, indicating that he was in a hurry. What makes him so anxious? "

"When he heard that Chu Zimu was attacking Xuzhou, he mostly felt the threat of Chu zimou. Last year, they joined hands to suppress us, but now they are going to separate ways. It seems that there are no forever friends, only permanent interests. "

Dourgen standing on the wall, overlooking the city under the city, Zhao Gongzi sent to besiege the city, the countryside.

Wu Sangui came over: "he tried to persuade us to surrender again and planned to ask me to negotiate with us in the city. He said there were seven cavalry battalions in his territory. "

"Promise him, we agree to negotiate. It is of little significance for Chu Zi to continue to guard this strong city

Dourgen persisted for half a year, waiting for the change, but Zhao Gongzi always sent the main force to besiege Jimo, Dourgen could not find any opportunity to turn the tables. If we drag it on, he will not be able to develop.

The forces of Beihai state represented by Zhao Gongzi negotiated with the forces of Qingzhou Huangjin army represented by Dourgen in Jimo City.

The imperial court of the Han Dynasty lost its dignity, and the Yellow turban of Qingzhou, which was shocked for a while, no longer attracted attention. The remaining remains of Qingzhou yellow scarf negotiated with Prince Zhao, which did not cause a stir in the whole Eastern Han Dynasty, but caused a lot of disturbance within Qingzhou.

At this time, Chu Tian, who was besieged by Donghai state, learned that Prince Zhao was trying to recruit the remains of the Huangjin army in Qingzhou. He secretly ordered the northern towns of Langya state to recruit soldiers and increase the strength of the northern Langya state.

He was still in alliance with Prince Zhao, but he had a strong sense of defense. In case Prince Zhao surrendered Dourgen and others, Chu Tian would be very passive if he suddenly went south to Langya.

The basis of alliance is common interests. Once there is a conflict of interest, the alliance may collapse.

"Dourgen, Wu Sangui and Guan Hai are fierce people. All of them fall into the hands of Mr. Zhao. If he uses them well, it will be a trouble..."

Chu is aware of the threat posed by his former allies.
