I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Under the circumstances, Li Wei agreed to unconditionally release the more than 200 family members and nobles. Although he lost a ransom of more than a dozen or 20 yuan, it still caused Li Wei heartache for several days.

In fact, if the king of Zhou goes crazy and is not afraid of fighting on two fronts, and sends a large army to attack the city, although he has relied on the defense of the city to defend it for ten and a half months, the military expenditure will be several yards of 20 taels More than silver, generally speaking, it is still a big profit, but Li Wei is really a bit stingy recently, that is 20 taels of silver, and throwing it into the water can cause big waves.

Tian Ce, Wu You, Wen Zishan and the others laughed wryly. Our prince’s royal highness has lost his fortune, and the amount of money he loses can scare people to death. Cavalry, that was piled up with countless silver, why are they so stingy now?

Chapter 456 I Can't Sit Still

The Qin Empire unconditionally released more than 200 families and nobles who were defeated and captured, which made Zhou Wang Chu Wangjiang very face, and also explained to those noble families who had their children captured, and the voice of declaring war on the Qin Empire in the court was also weak many.

Of course, King Chu Wangjiang of Zhou had something else to say about Concubine Zheng who was blowing the pillow wind. For the sake of the overall situation, it is better to attack the turbulent Jin Empire first. After dividing up the big cake, I will come back to find The Qin Empire settles old scores.

Judging from the current situation, the Zhou Empire's strategy of first Jin and then Qin is undoubtedly correct. Even the formerly powerful Jin Empire found it difficult to open up two fronts at the same time, and the Zhou Empire couldn't bear it even more.

Zhou Wang Chu Wangjiang rationally did not fight against the Qin Empire, but concentrated his troops, food and grass and other military supplies on the front line of attacking the Jin Empire. The arrival of a large number of reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of the Zhou army. The violent offensive launched by the prefectures and counties put great pressure on the defenders.

However, the Zhou army on the right seemed to be unlucky. Although the battle was fierce, they did not make any progress. Shuzhou prefect Wei Tao got the full support of Pennsylvania prefect An Siluo and desperately defended Shuzhou city.

Ansello asked people to spread rumors that the Zhou army would massacre the city for ten days after breaking through the city. The people in the city were panicked and desperate at first, and then the despair turned into a strong fighting spirit. Everyone died on the left and right. For the sake of their families, they fought!There are more than 30 people in Shuzhou City. Young and strong people take up arms to fight. The potential of people bursting out of despair is infinite. These honest people usually only know how to farm, but now they have all turned into crazy murderers. Machines, they have not received any military training, relying on the belief of protecting their families, they bravely and fearlessly go into battle, even if the casualties are heavy, they will not retreat an inch until they die in battle.

A large number of women, children, and old people also spontaneously organized, or put out fires, or carried arrows and arrows to beat rocks and logs, or carried the bodies of wounded soldiers and fallen soldiers down the city. in the battle.

It is also because the whole city's soldiers and civilians resisted to the death. Although they suffered huge losses, they also caused heavy losses to the Zhou soldiers who attacked the city. Although the battle was tragic, it fell into a stalemate.

After [-] days of mad attack, and at the cost of [-] casualties, the army on the left finally made a breakthrough. , Taking this as a breakthrough, he killed and scattered the guards at the top of the city, successfully opened the city gate, and the army rushed into the city like a tide.

However, the resistance of the Jin soldiers was very tenacious. Under the command of the prefect Mu Yi, relying on the buildings, they fought fierce street battles with the Zhou soldiers in the city. .

The prefect Mu Yi led the entire city's army and people to resist desperately. Unfortunately, the prefects of the three counties of Quyang, Moyun and Fuping did not have a big picture.

No matter how tenaciously the defenders of Shangluo County resisted, they couldn't hold back the frenzied attack of the 10,000+ Zhou army. Seeing that the general situation was over, Mu Yi had to retreat with the remaining [-] remnants.

There are still several counties under the jurisdiction of Shangluo County that have not been affected by the flames of war for the time being, but the small counties have few small people and are not enough to rely on to stick to them. Mu Yi led [-] remnant soldiers to withdraw to Moyun County City, but he did not enter the city, but walked around the city The trail goes to Shuzhou.

Mu Yi has given up on the prefects of the three prefectures of Quyang, Moyun and Fuping. He doesn't understand the truth of Chen's death. If he is a real short-sighted person, he doesn't want to go. He would rather rely on Wei Tao in Shuzhou or An Siluo in Pennsylvania Even if they gave away the last bit of family wealth in their hands to the two of them, they would never die to see the hateful faces of those three idiots.

Although Shangluo County City was under siege, Zhou Jun was not able to trap the city to death due to the support of Jiaolong Mountain, and the connection with the outside world was still unimpeded. With the full support of the army, they repelled the crazy attack of the 10,000+ Zhou army and defended the city.

The 25 Zhou army broke through Shangluojian City, which is equivalent to opening the southern gate of the Jin Empire. The Zhou army commander Pang Jian left 18 soldiers to defend the city, and he himself led an army of [-] to go straight to Quyang County City, and ordered his deputy to lead the army. Fifty thousand took Lishui County under the jurisdiction of Shangluo County to prevent the defenders of Moyun County from attacking his flank.

The news of the victory spread to Jin'an, the capital of the Zhou Empire, and the Zhou court was full of joy. From the King of Zhou, Chu Wangjiang, down to the civil and military officials, they all selectively forgot the fallen Yiwu County, and stared at the wolf eyes that were shining green. , eagerly waiting to eat a big cake.

King Chu Wangjiang of Zhou sent envoys to Shangluo to reward the soldiers for their meritorious service, and also sent envoys to the right front to urge the right army to break through the city as soon as possible.

However, although the 18 army led by Pang Jian attacked Quyang County with the vigor of a great victory, the resistance he encountered was no less tenacious than that of Shangluo City. The army attacked for more than ten days and suffered heavy losses, but failed to break through the city. .

All the empires in the mainland sent troops to attack Jin at the same time, which can also be said to be a war of the new century.

Due to various reasons, the Qin Empire has been standing still except for occupying Yiwu County of the Zhou Empire. Li Wei sat in Yiwu County and paid close attention to the development of the war situation.

Except for the breakthrough progress made by the Zhou Empire in Shangluo, the other empires did not reap any advantages. The army of the Han Empire was blocked from attacking Anyuan City, the army of the Chu Empire was blocked from attacking Jinxi County City, and the attack of the Jin Empire was blocked from Longhu Pass. All parties suffered serious losses.

However, as the news of Zhou Empire's successful capture of Shangluo County City spread, the kings of the empires were greatly stimulated. They issued imperial edicts and urged their commanders to attack the city desperately. The tragic battle continued.

Tiandu City is one of the northern gates of the Jin Empire. Together with Longhuguan, it is called the two major dangerous passes, which firmly blocked the Jin army from outside the Great Wall.

The distance between the two dangerous passes is six to seven hundred miles, and in the middle is the undulating and extremely steep Tiandu Mountain Range. Due to the long distance, Tiandu County City has not been attacked by the Jin army, and it is still a peaceful and lively scene.

There is a shortage of materials outside the Great Wall, but it is rich in war horses, animal skins, and some precious medicinal materials. The people and merchants in the pass trade food, tea, cloth and other items with the tribes outside the Great Wall in exchange for the commodities they need. Both sides get what they need. Therefore, the buffer zone outside Tiandu County is still very lively as a business district.

In Tiandu County, there are still many shops opened by merchants, and even a small number of tribesmen settled in the city. These people are basically merchants or wealthy people, and there are also many tribesmen who settled in villages outside the city. , these tribes were exterminated by the Jin army in the early years, and had to leave their homes and look for shelter everywhere.

Although these tribesmen were given the gift of the previous kings of Jin and allowed them to settle down, they have been squeezed and squeezed, and their lives are difficult, which naturally arouses strong dissatisfaction in their hearts. An opportunity to erupt is missing.

Dubudu Khan sent envoys to lobby for a while, promising to give certain benefits. These tribesmen weighed it over and over again, and finally admitted that Dubudu was the Great Khan of the prairie. To admit is to surrender.

Most likely, Khan sent many warriors disguised as merchants to sneak into Tiandu City by virtue of his business contacts with the Jin people. When he came, there was a small caravan with more than [-] people. When he left, there were few people in the team, and no one at all Note that, in addition, the soldiers guarding the city gate saw that money was open and stuffed money, so it was basically unimpeded.

In the past [-] days or so, five hundred tribal warriors were hiding in Tiandu County. These tribal warriors were scattered and hidden in the homes of the tribal people living in the city, silently waiting for the order to be launched.

A few days later, in the middle of the night, the [-] tribal warriors hiding in the city moved quietly. In addition to the tribal people who settled in the city, there were more than a thousand people in total. Killed the patrolling soldiers, took control of the north city head, and opened the city gate.

Sixty thousand tribal warriors had been ambushing outside the city for a long time. As soon as the city gate was opened, they immediately mobilized their horses and rushed into the city like a tide.

The defenders in the city were completely defenseless, and they rushed to the battle. Facing the rolling torrent of steel, they collapsed after a little resistance.

When the news that the Jin army captured Tiandu County was spread, the world was in an uproar. Li Wei wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but this time he couldn't sit still.

Chapter 457 Unexpected Joy

Li Wei really couldn't sit still this time. If another empire occupied Tiandu County, he would definitely be indifferent, but the Golden Empire is different. For the people of the Central Plains, it would be a catastrophe .

Due to geographical and other reasons, there is a shortage of materials outside the Great Wall. The tribes living on the prairie are mainly nomadic and hunting, and they do not engage in production at all. To truly destroy, if the tribesmen invade the Central Plains, at least half of the day will collapse.

Although he knew that what the empire needed most now was recuperation, but with the fall of Tiandu County, he had no choice but to send a message to Ding Tai and Zhou Bo, ordering them to lead the first and second navy fleets under his command to take down Lintong Jianghuaifeng. There are three counties, of course, the primary goal is to destroy the naval fleet of the Jin Empire. The main force of the Jin Empire’s navy is nested in the Dongjiang Water Collection Division camp outside Fengdu County, and they must seize the right to control the river. And military materials and resources are continuously delivered ashore.

He ordered Zhuo Fengxing, the commander of the Yanlong Legion, to sit in the city of Yiwu County, and he must ensure that the city of Yiwu County is not lost. Afterwards, he led the crowd to set off in a hurry, and rushed desperately to the Wuxian Wharf at the dangerous pass of Pingtang, where he took a merchant ship to Shaoguan.

The incident happened suddenly and the situation was urgent. Li Wei was in a hurry, so he had to requisition all the nearby merchant ships to carry the [-] armored soldiers who were trapped in the camp. close.

The torrential Nujiang River stretches for thousands of miles, but the Tang Empire has been annexed. Except for the warships of the Great Qin Empire, the naval fleet of the Jin Empire is limited to the river area from Shaoguan to Shuihuguan, and there is no need for security. Worry.

During this period, Mingzhu Hejin and Li Wendong also received orders to prepare for the attack. Although the Qin Empire had no plans to fish in troubled waters before, the several major legions still assembled part of their troops and gathered in Shaoguan, Shuiyunguan and Feihu. The purpose of putting on a posture of crossing the river to attack is just to confuse King Zhou, but now I am afraid it will really come in handy.

Along the way to Shaoguan, there was no charge to catch up with the fast boat at night, and reported the progress of the war in various places. At present, the armies of various empires are still storming the border of the Jin Empire, but the war has not progressed at all. The city's vigor and attack momentum were blocked under Quyang City, and all parties suffered heavy losses.

For Li Wei, it was good news that all parties suffered heavy losses. However, there was also bad news. The [-] Jin army besieged the important town of Yiyang, and Yiyang prefect Wu Yi surrendered the city after only resisting for three days.

The terrain of Yiyang County is flat, the land is fertile, and the rivers are criss-crossed. It is very suitable for rice cultivation, and Yiyang is also known as the granary.

Further to the east is Fengdu County City, one of the three Jiangfang County Cities of the Jin Empire.

Yiyang City has accumulated a large amount of grain. With Yiyang's grain, the Jin army solved the supply problem of the army at once, and it was enough to support the food consumption required by hundreds of thousands of troops for nearly half a year.

What's more terrible is that another Jin army of 8 people is besieging Xinyang County. Fortunately, the Jin army is good at field battles, but they are not good at attacking fortifications. They lost many soldiers and still failed to break through the city.

However, the situation is not optimistic. Xinyang has only 5000 guards. Even Mao Xin, the prefect, wanted to support himself during the civil strife and desperately expanded the army, but there were only 5000 guards, and he was assigned to guard all the counties under his jurisdiction. , the troops are completely dispersed, can they hold Xinyang County?How long can you keep it?It also depends on whether the prefect Mao Xin has the backbone and the determination to defend the city desperately?In short, there are so many unsettling factors that the confidants including Tian Ce, Wen Zishan, Wu You, etc. cannot estimate how long Xinyang County can last?

Once Xinyang falls, even if the Jin army has set foot in the Central Plains and retreats, Yiyang and Xinyang can defend Tiandu County City, an important gateway town. It can attack Pingyang and directly threaten Xijing, the capital of the Jin Empire. It can attack Huangzhou in the south and threaten Yanyunguan. .

This is the most rotten situation, and it is also the situation that Li Wei least wants to see. However, he is still on his way to Shaoguan, and the navy's battle report has not yet come, so he can do nothing but worry.

It wasn't until nightfall that a medium-sized warship sailing down the river brought Li Wei the news of the Navy. After reading the joint letter between Ding Tai and Zhou Bo, Li Wei couldn't help laughing triumphantly. A pleasant surprise.

The Jin Empire is recognized as the most powerful country in the mainland, but the kings of all dynasties did not pay much attention to the navy, so that Li's navy fleet was enough to compete with the Jin Empire's navy with just one province.

It wasn't until after Huabin ascended the throne that the navy was paid attention to. A large sum of special funds was allocated to build warships and expand the navy, which gave the navy's generals hope.

It's a pity that Huabin was a short-lived ghost, and he died in the hands of Shangshu's right servant Shegong Yeliang in a daze. As soon as he died, the Jin Empire immediately became turbulent. The soldiers are self-respecting, and they sit and watch the two fight.

The Jin Empire was in such a mess. The prefects from all over the country had their own provinces and counties, which were enough to solve military expenses and other problems. However, the navy affiliated to the central government was in a miserable situation.

The navy of the Jin Empire was divided into three fleets, which were stationed in the three counties of Lintong, Jianghuai, and Fengdu to guard against the navy of the Qin Empire.

The only shipbuilding workshop is located in Dongjiangji, Fengdu County, near the water tower. Fengdu's naval fleet has been expanded first. There are a total of 250 large, medium and small warships, which is the most powerful of the three major fleets.

In the past, the navy of the Jin Empire could still solve its own military expenses by levying tariffs, but since the Great Qin Empire annexed the Wei and Tang empires, the merchants of the Qin Empire can directly take the Qingtang Snow Mountain Road to conduct business with the tribes. Even if merchant ships were used to carry goods downstream, there were still naval warships of the Qin Empire cruising on the river. The still weak Jin Empire navy did not dare to provoke wars, and almost all customs duties on waterways were monopolized by the Qin Empire.

The three major navy fleets cut off the source of military expenditure at once, and the commanders of the two Lintong Jianghuai fleets had no choice but to surrender to the prefect of the county and hand over the command of the fleet.

Zhang Zhao, the commander of the Fengdu navy fleet, asked Fengdu prefect Yun Wuyang for help. In order to force Zhang Zhao to surrender and achieve the goal of controlling the navy fleet, Yun Wuyang not only did not allocate a copper coin to Zhang Zhao, but instead ordered soldiers to deploy defenses by the river. , It is strictly forbidden for the soldiers of the navy to land.

Zhang Zhao was furious and helpless. His Fengdu fleet had run out of pay and food. The soldiers were starving and relied on fishing to satisfy their hunger. If the problem was not resolved, even if the soldiers did not rebel, the fleet would collapse.

In desperation, Zhang Zhao had no choice but to call together a group of middle and high-ranking officers to discuss the way out for the navy. If Yun Wuyang, the prefect of Fengdu, gave the navy a certain amount of courtesy like the prefects of Lintong, Jianghuai and Huai counties, Zhang Zhao might have put the whole army together. The fleet was handed over, and Yun Wuyang was usually unhappy with Zhang Zhao. Affected by this, Yun Wuyang's subordinates naturally made things difficult for the soldiers of the navy. None of the generals was willing to take refuge in Yun Wuyang.

There is no way to go this way, and we can only rely on the prefects of Lintong or Jianghuai, but the prospect of the Jin Empire is worrying, and the powerful navy fleet of the Qin Empire is watching and delaying.

Not to mention how powerful the navy of the Qin Empire was, because the navy was also a costly unit. The prefects of Lintong and Jianghuai counties obviously did not pay attention to the navy. Although they each received a fleet, they did not set up a fleet. In the shipbuilding workshop, as time goes on, the warships are gradually becoming old and damaged, and it is difficult to repair them. If there is a war with the powerful naval fleet of the Qin Empire, one will be damaged and one will be lost until the naval fleet does not exist. The conversion of sailors into infantry was unacceptable to Zhang Zhao and other generals.

After a whole day of deliberation, Zhang Zhao had no choice but to choose the third way, which is to join the Qin Empire, because the Qin Empire has always attached great importance to the navy, so their navy fleet has always been very strong, and they are known as the strongest in the mainland. The complete annihilation of the navy fleet of the Great Wei Empire is the best proof, and only by relying on the Qin Empire can they have a shelter and a stage to display their abilities.

Therefore, after obtaining the consent of all the generals under his command, Zhang Zhao sent envoys across the river to contact Ding Tai and Zhou Bo to discuss the matters and conditions of commissioning. Report to Li Wei.

Chapter 458 Night Attack

Yun Wuyang looked at Zhang Zhao, who was in front of him with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, and couldn't hide his emotion. Without the food and salary, Zhang Zhao had to submit, and the Fengdu navy finally fell into his hands.

In fact, during the civil strife in the empire, Yun Wuyang, like all the prefects of the provinces and counties, remained neutral, supported the soldiers with self-respect, and became the emperor of one side.

He is cautious and cautious, not too enterprising, he just wants to keep his territory and is content. As for crossing the river to attack the Qin Empire and expand the territory, he has never thought about it. Therefore, Zhang Zhao's Fengdu navy is not Why do you care.

However, Zhang Zhao's navy has 250 large, medium and small warships and more than [-] soldiers. rest assured?

Naturally, they tried every means to control Zhang Zhao's navy.

The Golden Empire stormed Yiyang County. Once Yiyang fell, his Fengdu would be the first to be among them. There were wolves in the front and dragons in the back. He surrendered.

To firmly control the Fengdu Navy, naturally Zhang Zhao cannot be put back. A dragon out of the water will become a worm that he can knead, unable to stir up any storms.

Yun Wuyang thought that once the Jin army captured Xinyang County, Lu County under Fengdu would be the first to take the lead, and sent Zhang Zhao to lead an army of [-] to garrison, and Ying Yanglang took Yun Hao as his deputy to assist with all his strength.

Zhang Zhao bowed to accept the order, with a calm face on his face, but a sneer in his heart. On the surface, what Yun Wuyang said was the same thing, but in fact, he was depriving him of the naval power in a disguised form. Although he commanded three thousand soldiers, But in fact, constrained by Yun Hao, he couldn't command a single soldier at all.

The guy surnamed Yun had a good idea, but it's a pity that these are all in his calculations, and he doesn't know when his death is imminent.

Zhang Zhao led [-] troops and lazily headed for Lu County. On the way, he said he was not feeling well, so he handed over the troops to his deputy, Yun Hao, to command him, and he enjoyed his leisure.

After Yun Wuyang transferred Zhang Zhao away, he transferred more than a dozen lieutenant-level officers of the Fengdu Navy to station in various counties, and then arranged for his people to take over the entire Fengdu Navy fleet. Yun Juzheng, his third younger brother, is temporarily replacing Zhang Zhao as the commander of the navy.

Buying people's hearts is a must, Yun Juzheng brought wine and meat to the navy camp to reward the sailors, and gave all the sailors a hundred dollars each, and the officers gave a lot of money to win over the sailors.

The entire Fengdu navy was jubilant, swearing allegiance, and Yun Juzheng was so happy that he made a small fortune from rewarding the navy this time, but unfortunately the current navy has nothing to offer.

That night, Yun Juzheng, his guards, and dozens of officers arranged by Yun Wuyang drank too much, and they all stayed in the navy camp to sleep soundly. .

"set off!"

Ding Tai gave an order, and the soldiers of the First Fleet under his command and the soldiers of the Fengdu Navy set off immediately, and under the hazy moonlight, they quietly marched towards Fengdu County.

On the river, large and small warships shuttled back and forth, transporting a large number of soldiers and supplies ashore.

Surrounded by three hundred personal guards, Li Wei, Tian Ce Wuyou and other confidants set foot on the border of Fengdu. Behind them were five thousand soldiers trapped in the camp, but none of them were wearing thick and heavy armor. , carried by mules and horses, so that the soldiers can maintain sufficient physical strength to go into battle.

Ding Tai, the commander of the First Fleet, led [-] vanguard troops and [-] Fengdu Navy officers and men who served in Fengdu County. It was already midnight when they arrived at the city of Fengdu County.

Fengdu County City has never been attacked since it was built, and the vigilance has been lax because of this. The soldiers on duty on the top of the city all went into the tower and fell asleep. Don't accept it at night.

Special Yebushou controlled the top of the city, threw down the long rope, and the soldiers ambushing below the city climbed up to the top of the city one by one. After reaching 500 people, they went down the stone steps to the city, opened the gate, and released the army outside the city. into town.

The [-] soldiers ambushing outside the city filed into the city. According to the original battle plan, the detachment sneaked towards the designated attack area. The team advanced all the way without being noticed. Occasionally, when they encountered watchmen, they were all spied in front. Road's special night does not accept smashed dizzy, dragged corners placed.

The progress was very smooth, all the troops arrived at the attacking place safely, and then under Ding Tai's order, all the troops launched an attack, and the sky-shattering roar cut through the silent night in an instant.

There were 1 guards in the city, but they were caught off guard. There were flames and figures everywhere, and they didn't even know who the enemy was?

How many people there were, most of the officers were not in the barracks, and they couldn't organize an effective counterattack at all. The two big camps in the north and the south were quickly captured, and the defeated soldiers fled desperately to the outside of the city.

Ding Tai personally led a thousand soldiers to attack the prefect's mansion. The prefect Yun Wuyang took over Zhang Zhao's navy. He was in a good mood. He drank too much wine and became unconscious. He was still awake when Qin Bing dragged him out of bed.

The Qin army quickly took control of the situation in the city, and the large army then entered the city, and Li Wei naturally occupied the prefect's mansion in Yun Wuyang.

After dawn, the people who had survived a long night tremblingly realized that the city had been occupied by the Qin army. Fortunately, the Qin army had strict military discipline and no incidents of disturbing the people occurred, so the people felt at ease.

Mingzhu led [-] soldiers of the Phoenix Legion to enter the city from the north gate, but without stopping to rest, they went directly out of the south gate and pushed into the distance, sweeping away seven or eight counties under the jurisdiction of Fengdu County.

On the river, warships cruised, merchant ships carrying soldiers and military supplies shuttled back and forth, groups of soldiers landed, and a large amount of military supplies piled up on the pier. Under the command of the relevant person in charge, a large number of young and old men carried the supplies and loaded them into vehicles , Transported into Fengdu County in groups.

There are also a large number of young and strong working urgently on the periphery of Dongjiangji Wharf, building a tall, thick and strong cement wall, and three long walls to wrap the entire wharf.

Dongjiangji Wharf is the landing point of the Qin army, and also a transfer station for material loading and unloading. The geographical location is really important. In addition to stationing heavy troops for defense, Li Wei also strengthened the defense of Dongjiangji. With cement, the speed of building the city wall is very fast. scary.

He Jin's Black Tiger Legion belonged to the second echelon, and this group was crossing the river in batches. He Jin himself had already boarded the pier of Dongjiangji, and was waiting to assemble the troops and set off.

His task is to go south to seize the two counties of Jianghuai and Lintong, connect the three water gate cities along the river, and then seize the four counties of Yanyunguan, Huangzhou, Xinyang, Pennsylvania, and rely on these four counties to firmly guard the three cities. Chengguan along the river is also Li Wei's current strategic goal to stop the expansion of the Zhou Empire and the Jin Empire.

On the surface, He Jin's tasks are many and heavy. In fact, Mingzhu's task is even heavier. Her Phoenix Legion has to take on the important task of stopping the expansion of the Golden Empire's hundreds of thousands of cavalry. Li Wei still paid great attention to the Jin Empire. The fortress tribes were born warriors with strong field combat capabilities, and they were all cavalry troops with strong mobility. Most of the Jin Empire was plains, which were very suitable for cavalry galloping.

Therefore, in addition to Mingzhu's [-] soldiers, Li Wei also dispatched the [-] heavy armored soldiers Shang Xingyun's [-] tiger and leopard cavalry, and [-] heavy cavalry to her, so that the Jin army must be blocked in Xinyang outside the city.

Five hundred heavy cavalry are still being transported, and there are also a large number of military supplies such as Thunder Chariot and Thunderbolt Chariot, stone bombs, and fire bombs. These are given priority to the Phoenix Legion of Pearl.

He Jin and the soldiers under his command were extremely envious. Fortunately, there were so many battles, and he was not afraid that he would not have the opportunity to make meritorious service. Moreover, his Black Tiger Army was also equipped with a large number of Thunder Chariots and Thunderbolt Chariots. The Jifeng Battalion of [-] elite cavalry built by Qian Cai, coupled with the assistance of Zhou Bo's Second Navy Fleet, is enough to wipe out Jianghuai, Lintong and other counties as long as there are no accidents.

When Kuang Ping, the prefect of Jianghuai County, heard the news that the Qin army had captured Fengdu County, his face turned pale suddenly, and his whole body seemed to be drained of strength. There was no response for a long time.

After being in a daze for a long time, he finally came to his senses. He shuddered violently, jumped up from his chair, and shouted, "Prepare for war, prepare for war in the whole city!"

Chapter 459 Miracle

Under the city of Jianghuai, the sound of war drums rumbled, and the roar of killing resounded through the sky. The [-] soldiers of the Black Tiger Legion were launching a fierce attack on the city.
