Chapter 253 The Battlefield of the National War (Supplement 2/6)

"This is the battlefield of the national war..."

The sky is a little hazy. Behind the 10,000-strong army is a dense forest, and in front is a river and a vast plain. Not far ahead, there is a village.

Behind Chu Tian, ​​generals Le Yi, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Hua Mulan, Li Guang, and Hua Xiong reined in their horses and observed the surrounding terrain.

The birthplace of this national war is random and the map is unknown, so Chutian cannot judge his position. In this situation, the best strategy is to send scout cavalry to observe the nearby terrain and find towns, villages, and water sources for supplies, and at the same time

Beware of other lords and their armies who may be born nearby.

Chu Tian reconfirmed to Fang Xuanling, who had just been promoted from being a horseman: "Military advisor, we only carry seven days of dry food, right?"

Fang Xuanling was very sure: "Exactly seven days."

"Within seven days, we must capture a town to obtain supplies, otherwise our entire army will be annihilated due to lack of food."

The situation is not optimistic. A lord can only carry 10,000 people during a national war, so no lord will specially carry a food transport team. The food transport team will occupy a large number of soldiers.

During the Second National War, all food and supplies were robbed!

Towns on the national war battlefield can be plundered at will. After the national war ends, the battlefield will be reset.

Cities and towns were very important during national wars.

First, you can get points by occupying a town. For every ten days of occupation, a village can produce 3 points, a town can produce 30 points, and a city can produce 300 points.

Second, occupying towns can obtain troops (recruited through barracks), food, weapons, crossbows, armor (warehouse, or forging), gold and silver (looting).

Third, occupying towns can be used to resist attacks from other lords, because towns have relatively complete defenses.

Since they only carried seven days of dry food, Chutian's army had to capture a town within seven days.

You may encounter enemies at any time during the march, so time is very tight.

Chu Tian asked Hua Mulan, who was in charge of the investigation: "Mulan, can your war eagle be used to find the location of the town?"

Hua Mulan nodded: "We can get rough information."

"All ten of the Iron Eagle Scout's war eagles are put into use to confirm whether there are enemy troops or towns within a ten-mile radius. At the same time, the Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry personally inspects the nearby terrain. After the investigation is completed, they gather in the village ahead."

Chu Tian pointed at the village ahead with his riding crop.

Before finding the town, Chutian planned to rest in the village.

A village with only a few hundred people is overwhelmed by an army of 10,000 people, but it is better than sleeping in the open air.

Because it was only a national war battlefield, Chu Tian had no intention of showing mercy and directly obtained supplies in the village.

The Iron Eagle Scout's war eagle soars in the sky, and the Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry also personally conducts reconnaissance around the village. The information that the war eagle can convey is limited, so the Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry must personally explore the terrain.

Hua Mulan's cavalry are the best scouts, so Chu Tian often takes Hua Mulan with him to obtain reconnaissance information in time.

After dispatching ten war eagles and a hundred reconnaissance cavalry, the main force of the 10,000-strong army approached the villages on the plain.

The villagers of this village surrendered immediately when they saw the mighty army, especially the majestic white horse Yi Cong. They knew that they could not resist this army.

Chutian's army was temporarily stationed in the village.

Without knowing the location of the town and the nearby terrain, if you advance rashly, you may be ambushed by other lords, or you may end up in a swamp and be wiped out.

Fang Xuanling reminded: “You may be able to get useful information from local residents.”

Chutian immediately ordered people to intimidate nearby villagers.

"There is a city fifty miles to the north."

Under threat, the villagers revealed the information that Chutian was interested in.

"It's fifty miles away. As long as we march tomorrow, we can reach that city. How many defenders are there in the city? How many people are there in the city?"

"There may be eight thousand defenders and a population of 150,000."

"Eight thousand defenders..."

Chu Tian pondered.

Because each lord can only carry 10,000 people, the area of ​​the national war battlefield is not large, the city is small, and the population is not large. If a city can be captured, all the able-bodied people among the 150,000 people can be converted into professional soldiers.

, you can quickly obtain thirty or forty thousand soldiers, which is not a small amount.

"With eight thousand defenders and a strong city wall, we may not be able to capture it easily. In Yichen's opinion, it is only suitable for outsmarting them."

Fang Xuanling learned about the strength of the northern city and thought it inappropriate to attack by force.

As a top strategist, he has always opposed forceful attacks.

Even though Le Yi's S-level characteristic "Xia Qishi City" can increase the attack power of siege troops by 18%, there is also another SS-level characteristic "Five Kingdoms Conquer Qi" that can provide a 20% attack bonus to his troops.

The attack power bonus of Le Yi's siege troops can reach an astonishing 38%, but Fang Xuanling still does not advocate a force attack.

A strong attack would cost a lot, and the 10,000 people Chu Tian brought were not enough to consume.

What's more, half of the ten thousand people brought by Chu Tian were cavalry. It would be too wasteful to let the cavalry attack the city.

"The military advisor means to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Chu Tian also did not advocate a forceful attack. He tried to guess the strategies that Fang Xuanling might offer for him.

Fang Xuanling said: "My lord is wise. Use a small group of soldiers and horses to show weakness, lead the main force of the defenders out of the city, and then ambush them. You can achieve a complete victory, and then use the momentum of victory to fall into the city in one fell swoop."

"This is a very good plan, but there is no telling whether the other party will fall into it."

Chu Tian made a preliminary decision and used Fang Xuanling's strategy of luring the snake out of its cave to attack the city.

If the strategy fails, Chutian will consider attacking by force.

In any case, the time limit for taking the city is seven days.

Chutian also learned from the villagers about the nearby terrain - forests and swamps to the west, valleys to the south, and plains to the north and east.

Towns are generally on plains, so you can march in two directions.

After ten thousand troops were stationed in the village, the Iron Eagle scouts who went to conduct reconnaissance returned one after another. At the same time, ten war eagles also returned.

"At least two lords are nearby!"

Chu Tian learned that there were two lords discovered within a radius of ten miles. Including Chu Tian himself, there were three lords in total.

Obviously, the battlefield space is not large, otherwise there would not be at least three lords within ten miles.

"One of the lords was discovered by War Eagle. It is impossible to know which legion of the civilization it is."

"Another lord was discovered by the cavalry and was using the Taegeuk flag of Goryeo!"

Lord of Goryeo?

Chutian's first national war was with the lord of Koryo. Unexpectedly, he would meet the lord of Koryo again this time.

Chutian's most direct reaction was to destroy them.

But then I thought, maybe now is not the time to start a war with the lords of Korea: "Other lords will definitely discover the city in the north and try to attack it. We will fight with the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman will benefit."

"Continue to explore, we will follow them to attack the city."

Chutian temporarily adjusted his strategy.

War Eagle and Iron Eagle scouts continuously sent back intelligence about the Koryo army and another army that did not know civilization.

Chutian remained on high alert.

"The Koryo army camped for the night in a village about thirty miles to the north!"

"They have traveled a total of about twenty miles, advancing all the way north. It seems that they have discovered the city in the north. They will definitely attack the city tomorrow. All we need to do is follow them and use the fighter planes. Military advisor, what do you think?"

"What means does the lord think the lord of Koryo will use to attack the city?"

"Lead the snake out of its hole. We can use it to our advantage."

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be secretly surprised that her lord's strategy had improved.

The Koryo army marched thirty miles to the north, and another civilized army marched twenty miles to the northwest.

The lords of the three civilizations all want to capture the northern city.

On the first day, all parties did not risk siege. They were familiar with the nearby terrain and scouting the surrounding lords.

About three hundred miles north of the village where Chutian was stationed, Yekaterina, the lord from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, led 10,000 cavalry and marched south.

She sent out cavalry scouts and quickly headed south.

She is not afraid of encountering any enemy at all because she has absolute confidence in her cavalry.

"Spearmen from an African tribe are found ahead!"

"Destroy them!"

Catherine drew her sword and led the Boye cavalry and Cossack cavalry quickly south.

A group of African tribal warriors were aimlessly looking for a town, but found themselves being targeted by the Cossack cavalry on the plains of Eastern Europe. They couldn't help but gather in a circular formation in panic.

"The first achievement was won by me, Ekaterina!"

The chief of the African tribe looked at the wandering Cossack cavalry in panic. He knew that the infantry had almost no chance of winning when encountering cavalry in the plains. His tribal warriors were likely to be wiped out by the Cossack cavalry!

"Where is this place?"

Mingguan led the Guanning cavalry and the Liaodong cavalry to appear in a valley. Not far away, there was a group of knights with black cross flags on a white background. The places of birth of both parties were extremely similar!

"The Teutonic Knights of Germany?"

When Mingguan saw the Teutonic Knights, one of the three major knights, he didn't bite him like a mad dog.

The Teutonic Knights are a special force, and there are many plate-armored knights. If you bump into them head-on, you might get a bloody head.

"The heavy cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty? As a powerful civilization in Asia, the Eastern Han Dynasty puts safety first. It is best not to fight with them for the time being."

The German lords recognized the dragon flag of the Eastern Han Dynasty at a glance.

The symbol of the Eastern Han Dynasty is too obvious, and it is also the opponent that many foreign lords want to avoid in this national war.

Unless they were enemies of the Eastern Han Dynasty, no civilization would take the initiative to attack the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

If you bump into the powerful lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty, you will be kicked to the iron plate.

The two great lords of the civilized area, one owned the Teutonic Knights and the other owned the Guanning Cavalry, both were powerful special units. They parted ways with a tacit understanding, one marching north and the other south.

Unless there is absolute certainty, the two sides will not easily start a war.

"If all the troops are exhausted on the first day of the national war, how can we attack the city?"

The lords of Mingguan and Germany were very calm.

The Eastern Han Dynasty and the German Region have not yet become enemies. Secondly, they need to capture a town and obtain supplies before considering the war.

Chutian's army spent the night in the village.

The thousand women's army brought by Li Xiuning inexplicably became Chutian's imperial guard. At the same time, the Shesheng camp also became the imperial guard.

Li Xiuning patrols outside the village.

Chu Tian was sitting in the tent and saw that a lord had already gained points in the world rankings.

First place, Ekaterina of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, with 531 points.

Second place, France Never Surrender of the Kingdom of France, with 482 points.

Third place, the Kshatriyas of the Mughal Empire in India, with 401 points.

Fourth place, commander of the immortal army of the Persian Empire, with 384 points.

Fifth place is Jiujiao Laoqin from Donghan District, with 242 points.

Sixth place, the master of Amazon in South America, with 212 points.

"Looks like they had an encounter."

Chutian currently has no points. Seeing many lords on the list, he is not in a hurry because the national war has just begun.

Chu Tian had an impression of the number one lord Ekaterina. It was said that she was invincible on the plains of Eastern Europe, and even the Polish Hussars could not stop her cavalry.

Jiujiu Lao Qin in the Eastern Han District has points, indicating that he has fought against other lords.

This time the competition is five times more intense than before.

Even Chu Tian couldn't guarantee that he would be number one in the world. After all, all lords could only lead 10,000 people.

The next day, just after dawn, Chu Tian ordered Hua Mulan's iron eagle scouts to set off first, following the lord of Goryeo, and then the army left the village.

Before other lords occupied the village, the village was still nominally controlled by Chu Tian.

"Mingguan, don't you hate the lord of Korea very much? This time I will help you get revenge. When I return to the main world, I will ask you for dozens of fine war horses from Liaodong in return."

Chutian's army has already set its sights on the lord of Goryeo.

The Koryo army moved near the northern city. Just as Chu Tian had guessed, the Koryo army also used the tactic of luring snakes out of their holes.

A group of Koryo cavalry showed off their power below the city, trying to anger the defenders, while other troops were ambushing outside the city.

The defender's intelligence was not high, and soon a force of 6,000 men left the city to pursue the Korean cavalry, leaving only 2,000 men in the city.

Li Minzhe, the lord of the southern part of Goryeo, led his soldiers to observe the battle situation: "The Shenqi battalion of the Byewu Ban has successfully led the defenders out. Next, it is time for the Shenbu, Jumping, Bow, Fine Crossbow, and Fire battalions to show their strength.

.These defenders are really stupid. The only ones who are really difficult to deal with are the other lords."

The military general under his command, Yi Guan, had a special military force called the Peer Martial Arts Squad, which was similar to the five schools of the Northern Army and had several battalions. The Peer Martial Arts Ban was an elite unit used to deal with the Jurchens in history.

A war eagle hovered over the Korean army, and the eagle's eyes had discovered the location of the Korean army.

Xuzhou, Xiapi City, Xia Liang was in charge of the county government office, reviewing the reports of various counties.

One of the lists caught her attention.

This is the list of local high-level officials captured by Zhou Yafu, Xue Rengui and Li Guang when they conquered Pengcheng Kingdom.

"Shi Zhang Zhao, the governor of Pengcheng?"

Xia Liang was surprised. She did not expect Zhang Zhao, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Soochow, to be captured by Zhou Yafu in Pengcheng Kingdom.

Chu Tian didn't have time to deal with these prisoners and didn't notice Zhang Zhao, so he went to participate in the national war.

"Let's see if we can recruit him to surrender..."
