Chapter 461: Unlocking the White Horse
Qingzhou, Qinghe Palace.
This was originally the palace where Emperor Gan cooled down, but now it has become Xiao Gui's headquarters in Qingzhou.
The entire palace is surrounded by mountains and water, lined up one after another, and in addition to the palace city, there are also walls surrounding it.
Early that morning, outside the palace wall, more than a hundred generals in armor and civil servants in official robes hurriedly passed through the palace gate and came to a side hall inside.
After three months, the news that Liu Feng, the King of Zhenxi, led hundreds of thousands of black armored troops to invade Chongzhou finally broke through the layers of blockades and handed them to Qingzhou.
Upon hearing the news, huge waves suddenly started in Qingzhou.
When Zhennan Hou entered the capital, the one who was responsible for the staying behind was his legitimate son Xiao Gan.
The Xiao family had long regarded the three states as their own treasures. Now that Chongzhou has been destroyed, it is naturally not a good idea to give up. Xiao Gan immediately asked someone to summon civil and military officials from various departments under Xiao Gu to come to Qinghe Palace to discuss matters.
After everyone in the hall, Xiao Gan said, "Everyone, everyone knows the matter in Chongzhou. I won't say much nonsense. My father is in Xu Jing, so I decided to lead troops to wipe out the Black Armored Army!"
This statement did not arouse any objection. Sending troops was already a consensus among everyone, but how to fight was the key.
Xiao Gan asked someone to move in a huge sand table, and the mountains, rivers and rivers above were the map of Chongzhou. He pointed to one of them and said, "According to the information sent back by the spy, the Black Armored Army has captured it..."
······
In a blink of an eye, it was late October, the autumn wind was bleak, and the plants and trees were frost.
Since the arrival of troops in July, the Black Armor Army has swept across Chongzhou with several armies, with unstoppable momentum, and everywhere they go, they are invincible.
In just three months, half of Chongzhou had been taken into account. With the completion of the arrangement from Beiguan, the Wei army in Yan, Chong and Qing prefectures were not only divided into two large pieces, but also became turtles in the jar.
Chongzhou Prefecture, Chongwu City.
The horns are continuous, and the sound of killing is shocking.
"boom!"
With a shocking explosion, the city wall on the south side of Chongwu City collapsed, and a huge gap appeared.
With the unbelievable and horrifying eyes of the Wei army, countless soldiers in black armor rushed into the city along the gap.
Under the leadership of the defenders, the Wei army gathered from both sides of the city walls, trying to prevent the Black Armored Army from entering the city. However, without the support of the city walls, thousands of defenders gathered came towards the rushing force. The tens of thousands of Black Armored Army, who were in high fighting spirit, were undoubtedly a mantis arm to chariots.
In the face of the rolling black torrent, their defense was as weak as paper, and they were directly submerged in the crowd.
In less than two hours, before the sun set, this huge thousand-year-old ancient city became the spoils of the Black Armored Army.
After this battle, more than 30,000 Wei troops were captured, 8,000 enemies were killed, and countless soldiers, armor, food and grass were seized.
【Countdown: 00:00:30】
[Drip! Complete the limited-time mission, reward the fourth-rank official position, unlock the white horse Yishu, unlock the advanced branch of the crossbow soldiers, 1 Yuan Rong crossbow soldiers, 2 Wudang Flying Army, 3 Strike Soldiers, General skill points 5, General training degree 30, Intermediate Military Talisman 3, Command Value 2]
After Chongwu City fell, Liu Feng also received a prompt to complete the task.
At this time, he felt a little sweaty. It was only thirty seconds away. This time-limited mission with a generous reward and unique reward failed!
Half a month ago, Liu Feng commanded an army of 80,000 and swept the fallen leaves with the autumn wind, and went to eighteen cities in a row. At this moment, a mission window popped up.
[Limited time mission: Capture the prefecture within fifteen days, reward for success of the mission..., penalty for failure: None]
When the window popped out, the bright red countdown began to jump. At that time, Liu Feng and his army were far away from the prefecture. It took a full eight days to march quickly, bypass more than ten county towns before rushing to Chongwu City.
After arriving, he started to build siege equipment after half a day of rest and launched a strong attack on the ninth day.
In any way to attack the country, attacking the heart is the best and attacking the city is the best. With the 80,000 troops led by Liu Feng, which is not much advantageous to the 40,000 defenders in the city, let alone Chongwu City’s high walls and thick walls, there is also a moat that is five or six meters wide.
It didn't count the casualties of soldiers, it took two days to cut off the river water of the moat. It took another half a day to fill the moat in front of the south gate. The next siege was like a meat grinder. In the end, it used gunpowder to blow up a gap in the city wall, and within the specified time, it almost completed the task.
But it's all worth it, and the reward for completing the task is enough to make up for all the losses.
Especially the newly unlocked new soldiers can be regarded as the ace troops in Liu Feng's hands.
Although the Black Armored Army under his command has always been invincible and gives people the illusion of invincibility, in fact, whether it is the Black Armored Cavalry or the Spearmen, they are only basic troops in the system.
When facing ordinary troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty, you can easily win by relying on your military strength advantage, better physical fitness and high morale.
However, once you encounter the elite cavalry of Wei in the wild, no matter how high the morale is, no matter how afraid of death, you cannot defeat it. Especially the ace troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the heavy armored cavalry, and the men and horses are armoured. If there is no restraint, you will only end up being wiped out when you encounter the entire army in the wild.
Of course, this does not mean that Liu Feng will definitely lose. If he has no chance of winning, he will not launch this Northern Expedition.
No matter how powerful the cavalry of the Wei Kingdom was, it was only strong in field battles, and the siege and defending the city were relatively weak. In addition to other factors, the Northern Barbarians were the main factors.
Therefore, the core style of play set by Liu Feng this Northern Expedition is the lightning-style play, and try not to fight in the field. Even if he has to fight in the field, he must choose a terrain that is not conducive to the cavalry.
In the three months since the army invaded Chongzhou, it basically implemented the first lightning-style strategy, because almost all Xiao Gu's elite army was concentrated in Qingzhou, and there were not many elite troops stationed in Chongzhou, most of them were newly recruited soldiers. In addition, the news blockade of the factory guards and land and air forces made the result that the Black Armor Army now easily captured half of Chongzhou.
Not to mention the three branches of the crossbow soldiers who advanced to it made it difficult for Liu Feng to choose. Just as he was hesitating, the civil and military officials in the city seemed to have made an appointment, and came to the door to see each other, and brought a lot of things that needed to be dealt with urgently.
As a prefecture, Chongwu City has a vast territory and a large population. The number of people living in the city alone has reached more than one million, which is far from comparable to ordinary county towns.
Therefore, after taking down this city, whether it is the statistics of military achievements and casualties, the appeasement of the people, maintaining order in the city, etc., Liu Feng needs to deal with it. By the time he handled these trivial matters almost the same, five days have passed.
Chapter completed!
