Chapter 1278 Li Yang has fallen! Bai Xiaowen's countermeasures
The next day, Bai Xiaowen set off with 30,000 elite troops. Before arriving in Liyang, he received bad news.
Xiahou Dun captured Liyang!
General Jiang Yiqu was beheaded!
Bai Xiaowen asked about the process and found out that Jiang Yiqu was not to blame for this battle.
Jiang Yiqu knew that he was no match for Xiahou Dun and other powerful generals, so he strictly guarded the city and camp and did not fight with Cao's army.
But at night, the gate of Liyang City was opened by Cao Jun.
Cao Cao's fourth son, Cao Xiong, showed great bravery. He led an army into the city and killed three generals in a row. As for Jiang Yiqu, he also fell under the siege of Cao Xiong and his generals! As a result, the Liyang camp was defeated and the troops broke out one after another.
Flee north.
Fortunately, Jiang Yiqu made a wise decision when the city was defeated, which was to burn grain and grass and never aid the enemy.
Bai Xiaowen showed a sad look and said: "Although General Chiang was defeated and lost ground in this battle, it was not his fault. When the city was broken, he died fighting hard, and he was able to burn the stored grain and not leave it to the rebel army. He has already
I tried my best."
After a brief mourning, Bai Xiaowen ordered that Jiang Yiqu be made a general of the auxiliary state, posthumously named Liehou, and his son named Yin.
Shi Dongzhao, the commander of the accompanying army, said: "Although Liyang has been destroyed, the tens of thousands of troops stationed there are still there. We only need to send one general to collect the defeated troops."
Qiao Rui said: "The newly defeated army has low morale. Even after it is gathered up, it will not be usable for the time being. It should be taken to Yedu to improve its morale before calling it back."
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "Generals Tian Yu and Murong Ping are reorganizing their troops in Yedu. After these broken troops are gathered, they can be sent to Tian Yu's command to form new troops."
Bai Xiaowen selected 30,000 elite troops to fight this time. The remaining 100,000 troops in Yedu were asked to be trained and reorganized by Tian Feng's nephew Tian Yu.
The purpose of this reorganization is to break up the Qingzhou Army and integrate it into the Jizhou Army.
Just as the discussion was finalized, the second piece of bad news came.
After Xiahou Dun captured Liyang, he sent Cao Xiong to lead 3,000 elite troops to the northeast to capture Fanyang City. Xiahou Dun himself led the remaining troops to invade Anyang.
On the map, Xiahou Dun divided his troops into two groups and drew a lying "7" offensive.
Xiahou Dun's 7,000 soldiers and horses took a straight line to attack Anyang; while Cao Xiong's 3,000 troops and horses took a circuitous route, to attack Fanyang and Wei County before attacking Yedu.
Dong Zhao was surprised and said: "Anyang is the gateway to Yedu, and the lord must be on guard. Moreover, Cao Xiong led his army to attack Fanyang, and they also need to divide their troops to guard it. Once Fanyang is defeated, Wei County will be next. After the opponent breaks Wei County again, they will
You can go west along the Zhang River, but Ye will be in danger."
Tian Feng frowned and said: "Xiahou Dun's army only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, but it is a vanguard army. Why did he divide his troops? Isn't this because he has weakened his momentum?"
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and laughed.
Dong Zhao was very amused: "My lord, the situation is not good now, why are you laughing?"
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "I don't laugh at anything else. I just laugh at Cao Mengde and his son turning against each other and scheming against each other. Who would have thought that the Cao family has such a cold temperament!"
Neither Dong Zhao nor Tian Feng understood its meaning.
Bai Xiaowen did not explain much and said: "Cao Xiong's three thousand soldiers and horses are not a concern. The walls of Wei County are high and thick. We only need to send more military officers who are good at defending the city and strengthen the walls to clear the country. Cao Xiong will definitely return without success."
Tian Feng said: "My nephew Tian Yu is very good at military arts and has bravery. As long as the lord sends him to defend the city, nothing will happen."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and smiled: "That's what I meant."
Later, Bai Xiaowen asked Qiao Rui to return to Yedu to deliver orders and arrange the defense of the city.
There was also some discussion in the team channel.
Li Shuyi: "This Richard is really fierce."
Qiao Rui: "What's so fierce? It's obvious that the awakened ones placed by the Divine Court in our camp have played a role. Logically speaking, the ancient Chinese city design is inherently easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the awakened ones from the Divine Court hadn't stolen the city gate, Richard
No matter how powerful your virtue is, you cannot easily enter the city."
Although the awakened ones have powerful props and versatile methods, it does not mean that they can crush people in the spiritual world.
For example, Bai Xiaowen's large-scale deterrence + long-term control of the mental force field is not invincible in many cases. This is because the ancient Chinese military drum has the effect of boosting military morale and can interrupt the opponent's continuous control skills.
After taking control of the Hebei army, Bai Xiaowen also learned about items such as "military drums".
There are three types of ancient Chinese military drums: cow drum, Si drum, and Kui drum.
The three types of drums all have the effect of boosting morale. Among them, the drum also has the effect of interrupting the enemy's continuous skills, with an additional priority of 2 points; the Kui drum not only interrupts, but also clears the abnormal status of the friendly troops.
Special effects, and the additional priority is 3 points.
Of course, the snare drum is not just beaten casually. As the saying goes, one drum boosts the energy, then weakens again, and three times it is exhausted. The first drum increases the morale value the most, the second drum increases the morale value by half, and the third drum basically adds no morale at all.
If you beat the drum again later, it will lower your morale and make you lose more than you gain.
Previously, Bai Xiaowen's total priority of intimidation was 6 points. As long as the opponent has a leader-level general and beats the drum, his mental force field can be broken.
But now, because of Xun Yu's Wang Zuo skill, Bai Xiaowen's basic priority has increased by 1 point, and the total priority of deterrence has also increased, reaching 7 points!
If you want to break it again, it will not be that easy. Leader-level generals must be equipped with the highest-level "Kui Drum" to break it; or you can just let the lord-level generals beat the "Si Drum".
Kui drums are rare in number, and the Yuan clan only has one side; Si drums have as many as six sides.
After listening to Qiao Rui's words, Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "Sister Qiao is right. Therefore, it is a top priority to investigate the Shenting internal forces in the camp. Sister Qiao, after you return to Yedu to deliver the order, you must follow Tian Yu to Wei County to summon
All generals and leaders, including the city gatekeepers, check to see if there are any awakened ones inside. Once discovered, no matter what the background of the other party is, they will be killed!"
"Aren't you going to Fanyang? Do you think Fanyang can't be saved?" Qiao Rui asked.
Bai Xiaowen said: "Cao Xiong is eager to make meritorious deeds and enhance his reputation in the Cao Group, so he is well prepared for this battle. Although he does not have many troops, the Awakeners of the Divine Court gather a dozen or more people.
, the destructive power is indeed strong enough. The defensive force of Fanyang City itself is very weak, and it will definitely not be able to stop it. I estimate that after you arrive in Wei County, you will hear the news that Fanyang City has been destroyed."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "Ask Tian Yu to bring a drum, just in case."
Qiao Rui said: "What if the lurking awakener is very powerful and jumps over the wall to assassinate Tian Yu?"
Bai Xiaowen said: "I will send Murong Ping with you. This general is good at archery, and like Cecilia, he has the skills to support the archery team. He will lead an archery team, and you will provide control of the field.
, even Richard himself can’t escape unscathed.”
Qiao Rui agreed and immediately returned to Yecheng to deliver the order.
Bai Xiaowen continued to lead the army forward. Although Xiahou Dun said that he would attack Anyang, Bai Xiaowen did not believe it.
Of the only 10,000 vanguard troops, 3,000 were divided, and the remaining 7,000 people wanted to attack Anyang City, the southern gateway to Yedu? Xiahou Dun would do this if he was crazy.
If Xiahou Dun really dares to do this, Bai Xiaowen would like nothing more. Just before the main force of Cao's army arrives, Xiahou Dun's vanguard army can be annihilated. It is best to kill one or two lord-level warriors——
Due to their popularity, most of the generals of Cao's army have left their names in history, resulting in too many lords. If you don't get rid of one or two first, Bai Xiaowen will be hard to fight head-on.
