sweeping the world

Chapter 204 The decisive battle is coming
The battle on Xiami's side is the main battlefield, but not all battles on the main battlefield can determine the outcome of a battlefield.

Liu Yan is very sure that this battle will not stop soon, even if Yao Jiajun and Qingzhou Army are defeated, won't Xuzhou still join the battle?He can only choose to go slanted with his sword.

The number of Ji Chang's side divisions is not too many, it is limited by the number of ships that can travel in the inland river, and only 5000 people are brought to raid Guanggu City.

Liu Yan has not figured out one thing so far, and that is whether taking down Guanggu City can be considered as completing the upgrade task of the system, which can be upgraded from the "feudal era" to the "castle era".

Liu Yan desperately hopes to be promoted to the "Castle Age" as soon as possible. He can realize that the situation is actually out of control. With the current strength of the Han Dynasty, it is difficult to deal with wars one after another.

The number of Han mobilized to participate in the war has reached [-]. As a participating force, it is in the early [-]s, and the rest can only be regarded as auxiliary.

Liu Yan personally led 1 people, Xu Zheng's 1000 people, and Ji Chang's [-] people (not counting the crew), that's [-] people.

As a tribe with a total population of just over 20, mobilizing [-] is already a lot. Considering that the population structure of the Han tribe is mainly young, it is not impossible to mobilize more people to join the war. Continuing to increase will inevitably hurt muscles and bones.

Someone always needs to be building and producing, isn't it?Furthermore, the more people who directly participate in the war, the more material consumption.To tell the truth, the Han tribe was able to mobilize 20 people to participate in the war with a population of 7. Do.

The Battle of Xiami lasted for four days on No. 20, and the original fierce battle has been replaced by procrastination, especially when the coalition forces repeatedly failed to attack the Han camp on the west bank of Jiaoshui, which caused the morale of the coalition forces to become extremely low.

At this time, the news that a Han division broke into Dong'an County was also known to the top leaders of the coalition forces. For the top leaders of the coalition forces, they could not help but feel even more disheartened about the battle if they could not hold off for a long time if there was another Han division attacking the rear.

"We lost nearly 5000 people in the walled city, and we couldn't take it down!" Yao Lan was no longer in a state of frustration, and he said very gloomyly, "I haven't seen any reinforcements from the Han tribe coming from the east bank, but there is a camp here." The wounded soldiers of the Han Dynasty passed by, where did they get so many soldiers!"

The coalition forces also made special observations. The tunnel connecting the main city of Xiami and the sub-city also did not have reinforcements to go to the camp. A soldier with a thousand integers appeared again.

Yao Lan has made rough statistics, at least [-] soldiers have been wiped out on this part of the battlefield in the camp, a total of [-] soldiers!

Even if the Han soldiers are not heavy armor in terms of armor, it is not so easy to have a full set of metal armor these days. Shi Jie and Zhao State can only have so many heavy armored cavalry and infantry with the strength of the whole country, and Murong Yan State has the whole country. The Han tribe is not a country, it has only been developed for four years, and its territory is even less. Where did it come from that strong ability to create so many iron armors! ?

It would be fine if they were only wearing iron armor, as long as anyone with eyes could see that the soldiers of the Han tribe might be stiff in combat, but the armor soldiers of the Han tribe were only afraid of death.

"We..." Liu Zheng's face was a little ashamed: "Tomorrow, the reinforcements from Qi County will come. Let's discuss how many troops will be left behind, and how many routes should be divided to restore Changguang County, Donglai County, and Dongmou County."

"No, no, no, it's not a question of recovering which county." Yao Lan said with a wry smile: "The Han army has partial forces attacking our rear, and the Feiyan rebels who fled earlier also entered Dong'an County. Our rear is cut off Now, the initiative is now in Liu Yan's hands."

The only thing worthy of the coalition's senior leadership is that Liu Yan has few soldiers. They have lost nearly 8000 people in the past month. Isn't there still more than [-] left?
The coalition forces still have 11 troops, and the Qiang soldiers and Qingzhou county soldiers did not lose much. Although the number of coalition forces has decreased from [-] to [-], the main force is still there.

"Then..." Wang Teng was about to give some advice, but he heard a noise in his ears.

Someone ran into the tent in a panic and shouted, "We have been attacked!"

The high-ranking coalition forces in the military tent were stunned. The secret war had been going on for nearly a month. Except for a brief surprise attack in a meeting, the Han had never taken the initiative to attack before tonight.

Everyone walked out of the military tent quickly, looked around, saw the fires in the south and north barracks under the night, and heard the noise and the sound of shouting and killing.

"Hurry up and mobilize the cavalry!" Yao Lan was not worried but happy: "No matter how many people they send out to attack the camp, they will always retreat, stop, definitely stop!"

The layout of the coalition camp is relatively simple. Apart from the necessary fences and wooden fences, there are also refusal horses. At the beginning, they will patrol the camp cautiously. However, the Han army has not attacked the camp for a long time, so the coalition forces have been slacking off for a long time. As a result, they were suddenly called tonight Then all of a sudden.

There was obvious chaos in the coalition camps on the north and south sides. In the light of the fire, a group of soldiers with red upper body and black lower body could be seen chasing, chopping and stabbing a group of people in colorful clothes. There must be screams everywhere they passed. And the wailing continued, and the number of corpses on the ground continued to increase.

Li Kuang, who led the troops from the main city of Xiami, presided over the attack on the north side of the camp, and Wang Pu, who led the army to attack the camp on the south side.

To say that Wang Pu has been very motivated recently, as long as they can win this battle, some of them can be directly converted into regular soldiers, and the rest will be converted into servants.

Only when you lose can you know how to cherish, and only when you know the difference in class treatment can you understand what to pursue. The pursuit of Wang Pu and other new affiliated troops is extremely simple, that is to constantly improve their status until they can be like soldiers. If credit is recorded in that way, [-]% of the war capture can be kept.

Wang Pu swung his knife to kill an enemy soldier who ran and bumped into him, looked around, and shouted: "Set fire!"

The camps of the coalition army are very careless. It seems that there are not many military tents, and they are mostly shacks built indiscriminately.

A shack built with wooden beams, branches, leaves, and weeds will burn violently with just a little spark, and the wind will blow the spark to ignite, and the fire will spread very quickly.

The soldiers of the Han tribe who attacked the camp were ordered to just rush forward, and then they each thought about breaking out in the north and south. At that time, Liu Yanhui personally led a troop to attract the attention of the coalition forces, and gave the two battalion raiding troops a chance to return to their respective territories. place.

Yao Lan assembled cavalry to intercept, Yao Jing excitedly rushed over in person.

"Liu Yan personally led the army to get rid of Xiami City!" Yao Jing almost gritted his teeth: "This is an opportunity!"

The coalition forces can't guess why the Han tribe chose to attack the camp tonight, let alone why Liu Yan personally led the army out of the city. As long as they can catch Liu Yan and kill him, they will win the war.And this opportunity was delivered by Liu Yan himself!

Why did Liu Yan do this?It was Cao Yan who gave the clear answer that Xuzhou would send troops to participate in the Qingzhou War three days later, under the banner of suppressing the rebellion.

Liu Zheng can declare Liu Yan as a rebel, so is the rebellion Xu Zhou said Liu Yan?

Nothing has been confirmed yet, but Liu Yan is not bad at all. No matter what the goal of Xuzhou's troops is, the Han will definitely be the enemy if they want to occupy Qingzhou, so they can only speed up the battlefield on Xiami's side schedule.

"In fact, it should take another month or two. Now is not the moment when the morale of the coalition forces is at its lowest!"

Liu Yan is dressed all over, holding a long spear in his hand, and a sword, a bow and a quiver are hung on both sides of the horse's neck.He rode alone at the forefront of the entire army. The first square formation behind was composed of two thousand system swordsmen. On the left and right sides were spear formations composed of two thousand warriors and spearmen each. There are around two thousand archers.

The four word-shaped military formations are placed on the west side of the main city of Xiami, about a mile away from the city wall?

In the middle of the night, there were no torches in the army formation, and it looked like huge black squares. 8000 people stood quietly in place, which formed a clear contrast with the extremely noisy side of the coalition forces.

Tonight is a moonless day, which is why Liu Yan chooses to attack.

"It was all forced..." Liu Yan was looking up at the stars. He likes to climb high and look far, and he also likes to look at the stars: "The situation is getting bigger and bigger, and it is inevitable to lose control. Am I changing history?"

There is no doubt that Liu Yan led the army to Qingzhou this time and launched a war, which obviously involved a certain big situation, such as Feiyan's army, or Xuzhou's abnormal movement, it should be something that would have happened if Liu Yan hadn't sent troops west. It's just that it's Liu Yan who has opened up the situation now.

The only thing that the Yao brothers led the army to Qingzhou was to target Liu Yan clearly, and that was a troublesome matter that had to be resolved.

The sound of roaring horseshoes was rolling in. Under the night, it was hard to see how many cavalry there were, and all they could see was the darkness.

In the era of malnutrition, most people suffered from night blindness and were actually not suitable for fighting at night. As a result, although Yao Lan and Yao Jing led their troops to force the Han troops in front of the Han troops in formation, they did not attack directly.

"How long until dawn?"

"Should it be an hour and a half?"

Liu Yan led his troops out of the city to fight a battle, but the main purpose was to attract the attention of the coalition forces and create more opportunities for the two troops that attacked the battalion.

The two camps of the coalition forces are already ablaze, and the smoke is also rising into the sky. Visually, the fire spreads very fast. If it cannot be extinguished, if it continues to burn, it will inevitably destroy the two camps. I just don’t know what will happen. How many casualties were caused?
