Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 488 Triggering the characteristic of the unit: "Up and down"

The swords and swords clashed, the soldiers of the two armies killed with ferocious faces, the sound of shouting for killing resounded throughout the world, and the strong killing spirit covered the sky.

The generals of the Yun army in white armor charged forward with all their strength, their figures surged like undulating waves, and rushed straight into the formation of the Xia army in black armor.In an instant, these Xia army soldiers who were still gritting their teeth behind the city gate were smashed to pieces in an instant.

On the city wall, hung the Xia Guolong flag, which was already in tatters at this time, full of traces of arrows piercing and penetrating.

The next moment, that extremely piercing, sharp aura came.

The powerful zhenqi was condensed, and the huge saber energy, which was tens of feet long, brought back the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas, and slashed fiercely.

Dozens of Xia's elite guards beside him had no time to react at this time, and together with Xia Guolong Qi, they were involved in this chilling and unstoppable sword force, and were instantly smashed to pieces.

The Xia Guolong flag, at this time, was cut off from the flagpole, lost its support, and fell down suddenly, and then was firmly caught by one hand.

Huang Gai, who was in his thirties, with a resolute and solemn face, holding a big knife, and surrounded by murderous aura, was holding the Xia Guolong flag, standing on the city wall, facing the soldiers of the Xia army who were still desperately resisting in the city below, and shouted sharply:

"Ruichang City, break it!"

The city wall has fallen into the hands of the enemy, which means that the Xia army in the city is over!
Xia Jun, who was still gritting his teeth, suddenly lost his morale.A part of Xia's army lost their will to fight, so they turned around and ran away, even bringing along the robes around them, causing the entire Xia army's formation to collapse completely.

When the Xia army defending the city was defeated and the Yun army entered Ruichang City, within two hours, the [-] elite Xia army who were ordered to withdraw from Chaisang City appeared outside Ruichang City.

But at this time, for the Yun Army who has completely taken over Ruichang City, the overall situation is doomed!

Seeing the Yunlong flag hanging on the wall of Ruichang City, the elite general of the [-] Xia Army was shocked and angry, and even a trace of panic and panic lingered in his heart.

Today's battle situation reminded him of the battle in Rongzhou City that made Yun General Wu Zixu shock the world!

Wu Zixu divided his troops to seize the back road, making Rongzhou City an isolated city, and finally caused hundreds of thousands of Xia troops to be annihilated in one battle.

Now, both the development of the battle and the commanders of the two armies are exactly the same as the battle of Rongzhou City.

At this time, all the lieutenant generals of the Xia army who had reacted were terrified in their hearts, and even many people felt hopeless in their hearts, as if they had reached a dead end!
General Xia Jun was not a mediocre person, he looked at Ruichang City in the distance, gritted his teeth and said:
"The traces of the war have not disappeared, and the city gate is damaged, so it can only be piled up with earth and wood. This must be the Yunjun, and it has not been long since they entered the city!"

"Quickly order, take advantage of the cloud army's unstable foothold, forcibly attack the city, and seize the retreat for the army!"

Desperation certainly makes people despair, but it can also make people have the idea of ​​fighting to the death.

At this time, all the generals of the Xia army showed determination and fortitude, and said in unison:

"As ordered!"

The [-] Xia troops are all elite soldiers.Falling into a desperate situation at this time, and determined to fight hard, the combat power should not be underestimated!
The earth-shattering cry of killing resounded outside Ruichang City again.

Ruichang City is just a county town with low walls and no wide and deep moat, otherwise it would not be so easy to be captured by the cloud army.

At this time, facing the elite [-] Xia army who forcibly attacked the city and put them to death, there was only the [-] cloud army led by Huang Gai who raided Ruichang City.

But what needs to be guarded is such a Ruichang city that has just been invaded by the war, most of the defense facilities on the city wall have been destroyed, the order in the city has not yet been restored, and the people's hearts have never been attached to Ruichang City!
It was a matter of the army's rear, and the generals and soldiers of the Xia army fought with their backs. Naturally, they attacked with all their strength, fearless of life and death.

And the Yun army was ordered to stand firm, as long as they persist until the main force arrives, they will be able to swallow all the elite of the [-] Xia army, and once again under the leadership of Qu Jinghou, they will win a victory that shocks the world and will be recorded in history!
In this battle, the two sides are destined to fight with all their strength regardless of casualties.

The hoarse and exhausted shouts of killing, the soldiers of the two armies fought frantically and desperately with each other, feather arrows pierced the air and roared, and the vision of the army's luck solidified and manifested, fighting and fighting.

On and off the city wall, the corpses of the soldiers of the two armies were strewn all over, and blood flowed like rivers, but no one bothered to clean them up and move them away.After developing to the back, the generals and soldiers of the Xia army, who were already red-eyed, even stepped on the corpse of his own robe and climbed up the city wall that was not too high.

The ferocious and bloody aura that overflowed from the battlefield rushed straight into the sky, as if dyeing the entire sky in blood!
Fortunately, the [-] Xia army returned to defend Chaisang City in a hurry, so naturally they did not bring any siege equipment.Even though the number is ten times that of the cloud army in Ruichang City, they can only use their lives to pile up.

And at this time, besides the [-] sailors sent by Zhou Yu to guard Ruichang City, there are also [-] heavenly troops!
The soldiers of the Tianxiong Army on the city wall had lost nearly half of their losses in the face of the Xia Army attacking like a tide.

But the robes and fellow villagers around him, the more casualties were heavy at this time, the killing intent on the faces of these Tianxiong soldiers became stronger, and the momentum on their bodies became higher.

"Fight to the death! Don't retreat!"

"kill!"

Shouts of shouting with the same accent resounded one after another among the Tianxiong army.

The soldiers of the Tianxiong Army were full of fighting spirit, raised their bows and crossbows again, and shot towards the Xia army outside the city.

There was only a sound of "Zheng", the bowstring sounded like a tearing cloth, and the feather arrows whizzed like dark clouds covering the sky.

The Tianxiong army's army is like a flying beast, condensing its figure, and its terrifying figure is constantly shaking. The power of the surrounding heaven and earth echoes and gathers, blessing the soldiers of the Tianxiong army.

[Tianxiong Army, Level [-] Special Archers]

[Quantity: [-]]

[Morale: 72/100 (triggered by the characteristic "Up and Down", morale doubled) → 100/100 (up to the upper limit)]

[Soldier required training degree - 80]

[Precondition - Dika skill "Daming Afterglow"]

[Required equipment - crossbow * number of troops * 1, heavy armor * number of troops * 1, spear * number of troops * 1]

[Characteristics—one mind: All soldiers are from the same village, share joys and sorrows, and one mind.When the army loses 40%, the morale is doubled, and the attack power is increased by 2 points (triggered)]

[Attributes—Individual Combat Strength: 22, Attack: 8→10 (triggered by the characteristic "Up and Down"), Defense: 3, HP: 9, Movement: 2]

Surprise attack on Ruichang City first, and then resist the strong attack of the [-] Xia army, two consecutive fierce battles, there is no time to recuperate, even if the Tianxiong army is a third-tier special unit, it has already suffered heavy casualties at this time.

Even the unit characteristics that are triggered when the army loses more than 40.00% have already taken effect at this time!

Feathered arrows fell one after another, like dense raindrops, blooming in Xia Jun's lineup.

The soldiers of the Tianxiong Army shot feather arrows, and under the blessing of the vision of the army and the characteristics of the units, it was unstoppable and extremely powerful. Even the elite infantry of the Xia Army in heavy armor could hardly resist the sharpness of the arrows!
In an instant, there were screams and screams, and a large piece of the city wall was cleared out in an instant, stopping Xia Jun's fierce offensive.

Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers of the Yun army on the city wall rose up immediately, and drove down the Xia army occupying the city wall again, and once again defended the city.

After the battle ended like this, both sides had their eyes red with blood, gritting their teeth and not retreating.

But at this moment, a general of the Xia army suddenly pointed to the east of Ruichang City, and shouted in horror:

"No, the cloud army is here to help!"

General Xia Jun was startled when he heard the words, and looked in the direction the general pointed.

On the Saihu waterway in the east of Ruichang City, the troop carrier of the Yunjun Navy was coming mightily.

There are dozens of troop carriers, which can almost transport tens of thousands of Yunjun. The huge size of the fleet makes Xia Jun feel astonished.

Seeing this, Commander Xia immediately roared angrily:
"Why can the Yunjun navy wreak havoc on the river and come here so easily? What about the Jinling navy stationed in Chaisang City? Why didn't they see it? Damn it!"

Unfortunately, at this time, no one can answer his question.

After being furious, Commander Xia quickly calmed down, gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Quickly adjust the Wuyang camp, and try our best to prevent the Yun army from going ashore!"

But all the generals of the Xia army couldn't help but persuade them:
"General, you can't fight anymore!"

"When the reinforcements from Yunguo disembark and encircle us, I'm afraid our army's morale will be lost, and it will collapse suddenly!"

"Go back to Qichang City, stand firm and wait for help. When the imperial court sends a large army to help, our department will bloom in the middle, so that the cloud army can't look after each other and fall into defeat!"

At this time, these generals of the Xia Army, even though they have tens of thousands of elite troops, are strong, but at this time, they pin their hopes on the imperial reinforcements who don't know if they will arrive in time, instead of being confident that they can stop the attack in front of them. The cloud army who came to support.

Because these generals of the Xia army have been fighting against the army of the cloud country for a long time, and they know that the army of the cloud army is strong and unstoppable.Even the elite Xia army would have to use more than twice as many troops to dare to meet the Yun army.

And today, thousands of soldiers from the Yun army attacked Ruichang City by surprise, and then desperately resisted the strong attack of the [-] elite Xia army. This kind of morale and combat power are really terrifying, and the morale of the army has been low.

If the Yun army who came to help is also so elite, then the [-] army may be completely defeated!
After being persuaded by the generals, Xia Jun's chief general, who was already a little bit overwhelmed, finally regained consciousness as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.

The Xia army commander was also decisive, no longer hesitated at this time, and said decisively:

"Order to retreat to Qichang City, join the commander in chief, and wait for imperial reinforcements!"

On this battlefield, if a sudden retreat is ordered, the army will easily retreat from a retreat to a rout.

But this Xia army is elite after all!
As soon as the military order was issued, the formations were gathered in an orderly manner, covering each other, and retreating slowly.

But this time the Xia army commander was so decisive, it was not a wrong decision.

Because the reinforcements on the troop carrier at this time were the Guan Ning cavalry that Xia Jun heard about and frightened!

If the Xia army hadn't retreated decisively, when the five thousand Guanning iron cavalry who had come to help them disembarked and formed their formation, and the heavy armored cavalry rushed straight to the Xia army's formation, I'm afraid that this large army would really be lost here. !
On the head of Ruichang City, the blood-stained Huang Gai looked at the soldiers and horses rushing to help, his face beaming with joy.

But when he saw that the Xia army outside the city retreated decisively, he couldn't help showing annoyance and saying:
"Damn it, how can this Commander Xia be so cowardly!"

Obviously, as long as there is a delay, the [-] Xia army's elite will all stay here...

But in fact, what Huang Gai didn't know was that since this Xia army failed to take back Ruichang City, they had completely become a lone army, and they no longer had the ability to affect the overall situation!
-
Xia Guo's Xunyang County prefecture, Chaisang City, is here, where nearly one-third of Xia Guo's Jinling Navy is stationed!
The duty of this navy is to control the waterways near Chaisang and assist in the defense of the Chaisang garrison, so as to prevent the Yunnei River navy from going down the river and heading straight for Jinling.

But why is it stationed in Chaisang instead of the Panlong water village on the front line?

Not only because Chaisang is the throat of the Yangtze River, but also an important city related to the gains and losses of the two counties of Xunyang and Yuzhang.

It is because after Yun Kingdom forced to surrender to Anguo and obtained all the accumulation of Anguo's naval warships, Yunguo's naval force expanded rapidly.It is still difficult for a squadron of the Jinling Navy alone to compete with the tall and strong Yunneihe Navy with a large number of warships!

To the south of Chaisang, there is the vast Poyang Lake, which connects the prefectures and counties of Yuzhang County, and can also be used as a strategic space for the Xia Guo Navy to move in and move behind!
As long as Chaisang City and the important place at the mouth of the Poyang Lake are guarded, the Jinling Navy can advance and retreat freely.No matter how strong the Inland River Navy of the Yun Army is, it cannot cross this point and continue to go down the river to attack the city.

Before Ruichang City, General Xia had scolded the Jinling navy angrily, saying that they were incompetent, causing the Yunguo navy to transport their soldiers and horses to Ruichang City easily as if they were in a no-man's land, which led to the formation of the main force. Unable to return.

But these words are a bit unfair to the Jinling Navy Squadron!
Because at this time, the Navy of Xia State was fighting desperately with the Navy of Yun State who had raided here downstream.

On the wide surface of the Yangtze River, various types of warships such as building boats, boats, battleships, and walkers are mixed together and fighting endlessly.

On the building boat, the bowstring vibrated, the trebuchet whizzed, and rocks and arrows rained down one after another.

The racket stick on the bow fell hard, smashing a warship that was trying to get close to a boarding battle.The soldiers on it immediately screamed and fell into the water, and when they were wrapped in the waves, they disappeared into the water, and the pale blood floated on the surface of the river, and then disappeared in an instant.

Compared with fighting on the battlefield, the navy's battlefield may not look so bloody, but it is more dangerous than it!

But even though the officers and men of the Xia State Navy fought to the death, this battle was still overwhelming. The Yunguo Naihe Navy destroyed the warships of the Xia State Navy one by one like a broken bamboo.

Because at this time, the troops in Chaisang City were extremely empty, only five thousand elite Xia troops, plus more than ten thousand county soldiers, defended it.

Such a weak force is not enough to guard Chaisang City, how can it support the Jinling Navy?
In this way, with the Yunguo Navy occupying an absolute advantage and without the support of the defenders in the city, within half a day, the remnants of the Jinling Navy retreated in embarrassment and hastily withdrew into Poyang Lake.

Since then, the Chaisang Waterway has been controlled by the Yun Army.

The important place at the mouth of the lake, which was protected by the Xia State Navy, was also captured by the Yun Army at this time, trapping the remnants of the Xia Army Navy who had fled hastily in Poyang Lake!
Afterwards, relying on the transportation convenience of the Yangtze River, the Yun Army did not need to seize the Qichang Mansion, but could also send the soldiers and horses of Jiangzhou County to Chaisang City continuously...

　I left for Nanjing yesterday, but I forgot to ask for leave, sorry.

　　The four thousand words owed will be made up slowly later.

　　Don't think I only post one chapter a day, but the number of words is not necessarily the same, I just don't bother to think of the chapter name.I will make up for the number of words owed by the leave of absence bit by bit, and the updated word count displayed in the background every month is enough!
　　Also, as I was writing, I suddenly discovered that the previously set Jiangcheng County (the ancient name of Wu and Han) was written as Jiangzhou County (the ancient name of Jiu and Jiang, that is, Chaisang)...
