Chapter 751 Mangshan, target Luoyang(1/2)

A group of craftsmen were brought to Chu Tian. These craftsmen from the Han Empire were not ordinary craftsmen, but advanced craftsmen who mastered the skills of making Xiangyang cannons.

Lao Qin built many cities and villages in Guanzhong and Heluo to defend, especially the majestic cities and checkpoints such as Luoyang City, Tongguan, Chang'an City, Xianyang City, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Then a large-scale siege equipment is needed.

Xiangyang cannon has been the peak siege equipment in the era of cold weapons.

There are hundreds of craftsmen in front of us, who are good at making siege equipment. Below each person, there is a team of craftsmen. The craftsmen have intermediate craftsmen, low-level craftsmen, and craftsmen apprentices. In fact, there are tens of thousands of craftsmen under the Ministry of War who make siege equipment!

"This guide to Guanzhong and conquering Luoyang, Chang'an and Xianyang depends on your abilities."

"Your Highness has an order, and the villains dare not refuse to obey!"

Chutian summoned senior craftsmen and special craftsmen, whose abilities were second only to legendary craftsmen (special talents in historical facts).

Craftsmen are a negligible force, but the Mongolian army had previously shown that they had a huge army of craftsmen, which was very beneficial when siegeing the city without having to go through a long siege.

"Liu Ye, the household registration and logistics of this siege force are all left to you to manage. You cooperate with Wu Qi and Le Yi to capture Luoyang."

Chu Tian said to a civil official beside him.

Liu Ye's talent not only provides bonuses for siege equipment, but also handles internal affairs.

During his rest and recuperation, Liu Ye served as a civil servant, and after the war, he was responsible for managing craftsmen and went to the front line to attack the city.

Liu Ye bowed: "Please rest assured, Your Highness."

The battle in the north will be extremely tragic, but Liu Ye is very fanatical. If he wins, he will achieve the goal of following the dragon.

Liu Ye led the craftsmen to leave.

"Guanzhong is a place where it is easy to fall. There are countless princes who have made their fortunes from Guanzhong."

Chu Tian watched Liu Ye leave, and he was preparing to go to war.

Wu Qi's Jizhou army was a vanguard force, and its current goal was to capture Hanoi County north of the Yellow River.

Chu Tian wanted to lead the cavalry troops himself to attack Luoyang.

Lao Qin had many cavalry generals, the most fierce of whom were Lu Bu, Yang Dayan and other powerful generals. Wu Qi had never faced such cavalry and pig storm tactics in later generations.

In Hanoi County, the White-Boat Army was the vanguard and destroyed several county towns in a row!

Twenty thousand white-robed elite soldiers and eighty thousand Wei Wushang were mighty. Unless they were the main force of the Guanzhong army, they could not resist them at all. Wherever they went, they were invincible!

The elliptical soldiers climbed up the city, and Zhang He captured a mountain village without any effort.

Wu Qi commanded 180,000 infantry and cavalry and attacked Hanoi County in a large scale. It was unstoppable. When collecting the counties, he swept through various villages.

There are many remnants of the Baibo army in Hanoi County and Hedong County. In Wu Qi's view, it is time to suppress these bandits and make it all the time.

"The Guanzhong Army is not planning to defend Hanoi County?"

Wu Qi originally planned to annihilate the main force of the Guanzhong army in Hanoi County, but Lao Qin shrank his defense line and gave up the difficult-to-defense Hanoi County.

Hanoi County is too close to Yecheng to resist the continuous offensive from Hebei.

"The Guanzhong army should have retreated to Hedong and Luoyang Mangshan areas."

Wei Wuji sat on a shaking chariot.

The generals from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were still interested in combat chariots. Some of them directly used chariots from the Warring States Period as their mounts.

"Since the Guanzhong army intends to defend Luoyang to the death, we will give up Hedong County for the time being. We will go to Mengjin Ferry and take Luoyang first."

Wu Qi sat in the chariot, closing his eyes to rest.

The endless Wei Wushang, with long spears, fought to the edge of the Yellow River, with no one to stop him. On the other side of the Yellow River was Mangshan.

After passing Mangshan, Luoyang is a city rebuilt after being burned by a fire.

"Well!"

Zhao Yun held the reins of the war horse, and immediately followed the horse with a spear.

He looked at the rolling Yellow River and the mountains on the other side.

The slope of the Yellow River channel becomes smaller here, the water flow slows down, and the river channel is narrower. Since ancient times, Mengjin has been a northern Luoyang household.

The eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao suggested that the troops attack Luoyang in different directions. Among them, they attacked Hulao Pass in the east and Mengjin in the north, but the princes did not seek progress.

Now, Cao Cao's suggestion was recognized by Chu Tian, ​​and his troops were divided into two groups to attack Luoyang.

On the north road, Wu Qi was the main general, leading the elite troops in Hebei and crossing the Yellow River in the south; on the east road, Le Yi was the main general, leading the elite troops in Henan and out of Hulao Pass in the west.

Xue Rengui could vaguely see the cavalry of the Guanzhong Army patrolling on the south bank of the Yellow River.

The Guanzhong Army already knew that the northern troops commanded Wu Qi captured Henei County and were facing the Yellow River.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, Lu Bu, who was eager to be king, led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to patrol and glared at Hebei.

According to Lao Qin's promise to him, as long as King Xia is killed, he will become the King of Qi of the Han Empire and even the future emperor.

Lu Bu thought it was easy to kill Chu Tian himself. The more difficult thing was Dian Wei, the guard beside Chu Tian, ​​and a group of powerful generals from Chu Tian's power. Among these powerful generals, some even had military power comparable to Lu Bu.

"The King of Qin has seized the highlands of Mangshan. If they dare to cross the Yellow River, they will die without a burial place."

Lu Bu held the Fang Tian Hua Ji tightly, and he seemed to feel a powerful and familiar opponent on the other side of the Yellow River.

On Mangshan, Wang Jian personally set up the formation.

For the defensive party, defending the city is the worst strategy.

Offense is the best defense, followed by relying on the right place to block the enemy from the city.

Mangshan became a position to resist Wu Qi.

The craftsmen of the Guanzhong Army established camps in Mangshan, and teams of Qin Ruishi set up camps, and the Golden Fire Cavalry patrolled.

Lao Qin took Jia Xu to Mangshan in person.

"Mingshan is an ancient battlefield, and we have a good geographical advantage. If Wu Qi wants to break through Mingshan, at least half of the 80,000 Wei Wu soldiers will lose."

When the old Qin passed by, Wang Jian, Li Xin, Meng Wu, and Meng Tian were solemn.

The loss of Hanoi County was a foregone conclusion. The Guanzhong Army did not intend to fight with Wu Qi in Hanoi County, which had a relatively flat terrain, but chose to defend in the steep Mang Mountain.

To the north of the Yellow River is the team of Wei, and to the south of the Yellow River is the team of Qin.

The Wuqi Legion collected ships for crossing the river on the north bank of the Yellow River to cross the river.

In Hedong County, Shi Le, the leader of the Jie people, limped. He was injured in the battle with Yue Fei's army and led the remaining tribes to flee from Shangdang County to Hedong County. He was accepted by Lao Qin and entrusted to be the prefect of Hedong.

"The power of King Xia destroys my Jie tribe, and this revenge must be avenged!"

Shi Le gritted his teeth and the Jie tribe was erased by the Yue family army from then on, and was treated worse than the Xiongnu and Xianbei. Shi Le only took away 100,000 Jie people.

He had to rely on the troops of Hedong County to join the war.

Lao Qin deployed 70,000 troops in the east of Hebei, plus Shi Le's 30,000 Jie cavalry, forming a 100,000 Hedong Army, threatening Wu Qi's army from the west.

Shi Le's plotter Zhang Bin said: "When the Wuqi army crosses south and occupy Mengjin Ferry, we will regain Hanoi County and cut off its retreat. Even if it has the resources of the emperor, we will still retreat."

"My Black Spear Dragon Xiang Army has been reorganized, and I will win this battle no matter what."

Because Shi Le was defeated by Yue Fei, he wanted to get face from Wu Qi this time.

Behind Shile, the black spear Longxiang army, which was the source of troops of the Xiongnu and Jie people, was ready to go.

In Helan Mountain, the tiger-patterned iron cavalry of the Tuoba Xianbei tribe, the Northern Wei iron eagle scout marched towards Hetao, and the war eagle hovered in the air, looking at the black Xianbei cavalry.

The Xianbei in the central region came out in full bloom.

The leader Tuoba Tao and the leader Cui Hao were the core figures of the central Xianbei Legion. One was good at fighting and the other gave advice.

Cao Cao, Xun You and Guo Jia could not get much benefit from them. Of course, Tuoba Tao and Cui Hao could not gain an advantage against Cao Cao either.

However, this time they attacked Hetao, they faced Yue Fei's Yue family army and Yang Ye's Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

In Taiyuan County, the soldiers of the Yue family army entered the teleportation array and directly teleported to Yunzhong County.

In the war in the north, the three princes did not count the cost or cost. They wanted to kill each other, so they opened all the teleportation arrays and directly used the teleportation array to mobilize soldiers.

Once the teleportation is opened, there will be ten thousand taels of gold.

"We will solve the Tuoba Xianbei that Cao Cao could not suppress."

Yue Fei received the order to defend Hetao, wait for an opportunity to capture Helan Mountain, Yuzhong, and attack the western Bingzhou and Liangzhou.

His main opponent was Tuoba Xianbei.

The Tuoba Xianbei grazed in the Helan Mountains, but they had always coveted the Hetao Plain.

Cao Cao attacked Tuoba Tao twice, and tied with Tuoba Tao, but failed to make progress.

As a hero at the level of Emperor Wu, Tuoba Tao has the help of the scheming leader Cui Hao, which is extremely difficult.

Zhang Xian and Niu Gao led the Yue Family Army infantry and crossbowmen to arrive in Yunzhong County first.

Yang Zaixing followed Yue Fei, led the cavalry of the Beiwei Army, and then arrived in Yunzhong.

"If Tuoba Xianbei is unwilling to surrender and hand over the military power, then kill him."

Yue Fei had already learned that Tuoba Tao's Xianbei army was advancing towards Yunzhong County.

The whole world was filled with war because Chu Tian provoked a war in the north, and a war broke out at the junction of the three princes. Yue Fei no longer knew how many battlefields there were.
