When Chu Tian''s army arrived at Mount Tai, they immediately built siege equipment and prepared to attack the city.


    Fenggao county is built on the steep terrain of Mount Tai, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.


    However, easy defense and difficult attack does not mean that we can not attack, it is just the cost.


    A large number of catapults, ladders and siege towers were formed, and Leyi army was ready to attack the city under Mount Tai.


    Chu Tian saw Hua Mulan and Joan of arc who broke through to fenggao County, and gave a little commendation. The latter basically adapted to the circuitous fighting style of cavalry used in the East.


    It was only a matter of time before fenggao county was captured. Chu Tian was more worried about the two battlefields of Langya and Pei. The garrison faced the pressure of Zhao Gongzi and Yuan Shu respectively.


    Tai Shici once again organized an offensive against Zhucheng County, and soldiers all over the mountains and fields flooded the city.


    Zang Ba and sun Guan were tenacious in their resistance. They were responsible for defending the northern part of Langya state for a long time. They usually produced a large number of city guarding equipment, so they could stick to it until now.


    "My Lord, Dourgen and Wu Sangui are here!"


    When taishici was unable to attack, Dourgen and Wu Sangui captured Linzi City, the capital of the state of Qi. After receiving orders, they led a large number of cavalry and infantry back to Beihai state to assist taishici in capturing Zhucheng county.


    At the same time, Mr. Zhao personally captured Zhucheng county and personally supervised Dourgen and Wu Sangui.


    In order to prevent Dourgen and Wu Sangui from betraying each other, he held the eight flag cavalry and Guan Ning iron cavalry in his hands. Only in peacetime can Dourgen and Wu Sangui command temporarily.


    A group of white flag cavalry appeared, with thousands of soldiers and strong horses.


    Wu Sangui''s guanning iron cavalry is almost the same color as the white flag cavalry, holding a three eye firearm and excellent armor.


    Finally, Wu Tieqi can be dispatched by Chengzhu.


    Wu Sangui is quite in a mess when he is driven all the way from zhanhun town to Qingzhou. He got guanning iron cavalry, and recovered the courage to fight. Although because of Zhao Gongzi''s limited financial resources, there are only 700 guanning irons at present.


    "There are more and more enemies under the city, which may not be blocked this time."


    Zang badeng City, looking down at the growing number of Qingzhou army, eyebrows do not show.


    "There are at least 60000 and 70000 enemies under the city, and the number is still increasing."


    Sun Guan also came to the city wall.


    With the deployment of the main force by Prince Zhao, Zang Ba and sun Guan were under more and more pressure.


    Zang Ba lost an eye in the previous Xuzhou war, while sun Guan also left a hidden disease. Their mutual cooperation still blocked the pressure brought by the Qingzhou army.


    However, with more and more enemies, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue to hold on.


    "The Qingzhou army already has elite cavalry."


    Zang Ba pointed to the two armies brought by Prince Zhao, one black and one white, one guanning iron cavalry and one eight flag cavalry.


    "I don''t know how it compares with our elite cavalry in Xuzhou."


    Sun Guan could not help but compare the two cavalry with the elite cavalry in Xuzhou.


    "It is a miracle that Zang Ba and sun Guan, as second-class generals, can stick to the city for a long time."


    Zhao Gongzi came to the city with several generals to observe the city defense. He was surprised by Zang Ba and sun Guan''s performance.


    He thought that taishici could easily capture the city.


    "They have prepared a lot of materials for guarding the city, so they can stick to it. A large number of yellow scarves can be used to consume their forces. "


    Dourgen proposed to consume cheap yellow scarf soldiers.


    "I''m afraid that''s not right."


    Mr. Zhao hesitated.


    "Those who have achieved great things are free from trifles. If we don''t capture this city as soon as possible, we will all be captured once the reinforcements of Chu zimou arrive. "


    Dourgen is persuading Prince Zhao to recruit a large number of Huangjin army as cannon fodder by using the Yellow turban Army General Guan Hai. The army is suddenly restless.


    Dourgen looked to help the restless army and saw an elite cavalry in the distance.


    At the front is a group of cavalry on white horses. They hunt in white robes. Their morale is high. Their spears shake with the back of their horses!


    "The white robed army of Xuzhou!"


    The white robed regiment is the largest cavalry regiment with long-term mobile operations.


    "I have eight flag cavalry, and with your characteristics, you can defeat the other''s white robed army."


    Dourgen reorganized a thousand eight flag cavalry, ready to fight.


    The eight banners can enhance the ability of Zhao Gongzi.


    Therefore, Dourgen''s combat ability was strengthened by Prince Zhao.


    "They don''t use light cavalry to fight our heavy cavalry. Unless we can force the other side''s cavalry to fight us. "


    Mr. Zhao didn''t think that Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun would be impulsive to use light cavalry to attack eight flag cavalry and guanning iron cavalry.


    When the white robed army arrived, Zang Ba, sun Guan and the garrison in the city were overjoyed. Once you see the sign of the white robe, you don''t have to worry about it.


    "What kind of cavalry is that?"


    Xue Rengui was surprised to see a white Armored Cavalry on the opposite side and a cavalry with suspected stick weapons.Zhao Yun said: "the Lord has said that Duke Zhao of Qingzhou may have formed eight banners cavalry and guanning iron cavalry. The white armour cavalry may be the cavalry with the white flag. Guan Ning''s iron horse has the weapon of three eyes


    Although Chu Tian had never seen the eight flag cavalry and guanning iron cavalry, the intelligence work was undoubtedly sufficient.


    "Let me try it out."


    Zhao Yun led a thousand ordinary light cavalry to test the eight flag cavalry and guanning iron cavalry.


    Intelligence may not be accurate, and intelligence may not be the same as actual combat.


    Wu Sangui didn''t expect that Zhao Yun would direct his troops to him, so he immediately organized Guan Ning iron cavalry to defend.


    Zhao Yun used a horn bow and led the light cavalry to use riding and shooting tactics. A round of arrow rain fell into Guan Ning''s iron horse.


    "Attack!"


    Relying on the heavy armour of Guan Ning''s steed, Wu Sangui let the arrows rain down, causing few casualties.


    Guan Ning''s iron cavalry attacks forward. After the light cavalry close to Zhao Yun, he ignites the three eye firearm!


    A burst of dense firearm sound, white smoke filled, dozens of light cavalry were shot by three eye fire gun!


    The sound produced by the three eye firearm has a deterrent effect, which is applicable to both men and horses. Zhao Yun''s cavalry is in a panic.


    Guan Ning''s cavalry had no time to load gunpowder again. He waved the three eyed firearm as a blunt weapon and killed Zhao Yun''s light cavalry.


    The earth shakes and the iron horse stands out. Once it is hammered by a heavy three eyed firearm, most of them will be injured or killed because they can''t bear the huge impact force!


    "Retreat!"


    Zhao Yun just came to explore, at this time to find out the fighting mode of guanning iron cavalry, and resolutely retreat.


    More than a dozen light cavalry were unable to retreat. They were caught up by Guan Ning''s iron cavalry, and the three eyed firearm smashed on their heads, and they were killed immediately!


    Wu Sangui rarely won a small victory, and did not pursue to prevent being deceived.


    "Guan Ning''s iron cavalry is a heavy cavalry which spent a lot of my savings to build. In order to buy three eye firearm, mingguan has pocketed me a lot of gold and silver."


    Mr. Zhao saw Guan Ning''s iron cavalry kill dozens of light cavalry, but he did not have many casualties, which made him feel worth more.


    It costs more to build high-level heavy cavalry than to build ordinary heavy cavalry. Duke Zhao created 1000 eight flag cavalry and 700 guanning iron cavalry.


    At present, Prince Zhao has three prefectures: Beihai, Donglai and Qi (newly occupied), so he can only produce such a small amount of high-level heavy cavalry.


    "Guan Ning''s three eye firearm has a deterrent effect. I was also scared just now."


    Zhao Yun was also affected by the deterrent effect of the three eye firearm.


    "Guan Ning''s cavalry is ready to shoot, and then engage in close combat Face to face with Guan Ning iron horse, can only accelerate the impact, forward close combat. Or use a long bow of infantry with a long range, and shoot with a dense rain of arrows. The other side is a heavy cavalry, the defense against arrow rain is very high, and the damage of riding and shooting to them is too low. "


    Xue Rengui faced the special heavy cavalry with deterrent effect for the first time, and combined with the heavy armour of guanning iron horse, Wu Sangui became a difficult opponent.


    There are other branches of support next to guanning iron cavalry, and the mobility of light cavalry is limited.


    Without the support of infantry, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun did not rashly launch an attack.


    Their combat goal is to support Zhucheng county and prevent Prince Zhao from going south to Langya state, so as to achieve the goal.


    Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun''s composure, on the contrary, made Zhao Gongzi a little agitated.


    Taishan county is under the attack of Chu Tian, which will fall within a month or two.


    At this time, he regretted not using Dourgen''s suggestion.


    "Call all the Yellow turban army of Qingzhou to come, and the cavalry is ready to expel the white robed army."


    After hesitating and struggling, Zhao Gongzi finally decided to force Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun to fight a decisive battle.


    The bait is Zang Ba and sun Guan.


    "The situation has not changed. If the number of the Qingzhou army continues to increase to 100000, Mr. Zhao can attack the city and expel Xue Rengui and others at the same time. "


    Zang Ba saw what Zhao thought.


    Under the premise that the other side occupied the superiority of the troops, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun were actually in the passive side, because Zang Ba and sun Guan had to save them.


    Without the garrison of Zang Ba and sun Guan, the gate of the northern part of Langya state will be opened, and the cavalry of eight banners and guanning iron cavalry will march southward and be unstoppable.


    Sun Guan''s heart was also heavy: "we can only see how Xue Li and Zhao Yun respond to the enemy. We just need to stick to the city as much as possible and delay time."


    Prince Zhao decided to use the strength of the three prefectures of Qingzhou to completely capture Zang Ba and sun Guan. He sent Guan Hai back to the rear towns and forcibly recruited the Yellow turban army. The corpses of the Yellow turban army were piled up to the height of the city wall to capture the Zhucheng county where Zang Ba and sun Guan were located.


    At the same time, the eight flag cavalry, Guan Ning cavalry and other low-level cavalry were ready to expel the white robed army.


    ……


    "Catapult, throw stones!"


    "One, two, three, pull!"


    The captives of Qingzhou army pulled the rope of the catapult and threw huge stones out!


    Hundreds of stones roar and fall on the wall!Boom!


    A stone hit a corner of the gate house, causing the eaves to collapse and stones and dust to fall.


    The archer on a stone Archer tower was hit by a stone and fell from the tower with a tragic death.


    Catapult power, clear the gate tower, arrow tower, horse surface and other additional defense facilities!


    Once all the defense facilities are cleared, only the bare walls are left. It is convenient to attack the city and occupy the whole city.


    There was no shortage of stones in the area of Mount Tai, so the Xuzhou army could prepare a large number of stones to attack the city.


    After three days of continuous bombardment by the catapult, a lot of bricks fell off and the rammed earth was exposed.


    Ten tall siege towers are ready. Each tower is 12 meters high and needs hundreds of soldiers to push.


    Leyi personally took charge and urged the army to attack the city.


    Tens of thousands of people Besieged from three directions, and even the captured Qingzhou army was used as cannon fodder to fight the city.


    Cao GUI, one of the few famous generals of the state of Lu, personally guarded the city and led the soldiers of Taishan county to guard the city by the wall.


    The city wall is the only way to make up for the gap between the second class and the first class.


    A large number of fire oil and rolling stones poured down, and the Qingzhou army climbing the wall was injured and rolled down, leaving corpses everywhere.


    During this period, Li Guang, Hua Mulan and Zhende planned to lead the team to attack fenggao City, but they were rejected by Chu Tian.


    This city not only has 30000 garrisons, backed by Mount Tai, but also has a famous general in charge of defense, which is more difficult than attacking Feixian.


    Chu Tian couldn''t let his famous generals take risks for a city.


    A thousand troops are easy to obtain, but one will be difficult to obtain.


    Tao Qian and Yuan Shu had plenty of food, but they lacked famous generals.


    Attacking a city that is not a must, sacrificing famous generals has a great influence on the rear.


    If it was a battle that determined the survival of the forces, Chu Tian would dare to bet all his generals.


    Leyi''s offensive is fierce, but he can''t capture the strongest city in Taishan County in a short time.


    How many soldiers will it take for Chuyi to take the city to death.


    "Enlist the soldiers from the nearby villages, about 30000 soldiers dead and wounded, and 23000 civilian men, and they can capture the city in ten days."


    Leyi gave Chu Tian a specific price as a reference.


    "The price is too high. After this war, our legions will be very weak. "


    "In the north of Langya state, only relying on the white robed army and the Langya National Defense Defense Corps, with a force of more than 30000, it was difficult to resist the troops of half Qingzhou transferred by Prince Zhao to the south. If Mr. Zhao did his best, there would be at least 70000-80000 professional soldiers. He also has a yellow turban army in his hand. If he wants to, the number of the Yellow turban army can reach 100000 at any time. "


    "So we have to take Taishan as soon as possible. Do you have any ideas? "


    Facing the tenacious resistance of the garrison of Taishan County, Chu Tian asked Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui for advice.


    Many emperors and emperors were bent down in the siege, especially in front of them. The city was built on Mount Tai, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.


    Chu Tian did not want to spend too much troops for the siege. He had many enemies to deal with.


    Fang Xuanling said, "my Lord, do you remember how we captured Tancheng, which was defended by Leyi? Even if fenggao relies on Mount Tai to build a city, no matter how strong it is, it can be broken from the inside. "


    Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling echoed: "the Lord has great prestige among strangers. When he attacked Tancheng, he rewarded the man who captured Leyi alive with 1000 taels of gold, which can be said to have kept his promise. If they don''t trust the city, they still need to be pardoned


    It''s another psychological attack


    This method is old-fashioned, but it is very practical.


    "Those who surrender to the city will be rewarded with 300 taels of gold and promoted to the county magistrate. They will never be investigated."


    "If you catch Cao GUI alive, you will get a reward of one hundred Liang."


    Using the prestige of the first lord, Chu Tian began to stir up the relationship between the defenders in the city.


    There must be brave men under the heavy reward!
