Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2258: Qingniu fights Gao Chong and Jiang Song alone

Li Xiang's main forces were all in the Yanyu area west of the Central Plains, and as for Xuzhou, there were only Di Qing's troops.

  After all, Zhao Kuangyin was dead, Liu Bei was disabled, and Zhu Yuanzhang in the south was still under siege. What enemies could he have in Xuzhou?

After all the planning, I missed this guy!

In name, Di Qing's troops were indeed still in Xuzhou!

The problem was that after that battle, Di Qing's troops suffered heavy losses and were now overwhelmed.

Moreover, Xuzhou’s huge coastline is not so easy to defend.

For a time, the eastern part of Xuzhou could be said to be leaking everywhere.

However, almost all of their navy is now blocked on the Yangtze River. Without the cooperation of the navy, the coastal defense will indeed be a problem.

"My lord, over the years, Li Tang has been gathering strength and working hard to govern the country. Whenever there is a melee between various forces, Li Tang will profit from it!"

"The Li Tang of today is no longer what it used to be!"

After discussing the issue of Li Tang, the strategist Liu Bowen obviously treated this issue with great caution.

Back then, Li Tang and Qin Zheng were the ones who took the initiative to attack.

However, in recent conflicts between Tang and Qin, Li Tang was basically the offensive party.

During the war against Japan alone, Li Shimin formed a large number of elite cavalry units by acting as a middleman.

"What are the casualties among our people?" Li Xiang asked.

Liu Bowen didn't think twice and answered directly: "Li Tang has plundered tens of thousands of people, and more than 20,000 people have died under Li Tang's butcher knife."

What Li Tang looted was not only money, food and supplies, but also the able-bodied population.

From Qingzhou to Xuzhou, at least 30,000 people were killed or injured in the looting.

Snapped……

Li Xiang slammed the table and angrily said, "What on earth does Di Qing do for a living? How could he cause such heavy casualties among the people of Xuzhou?"

Although he was clear about the situation in Xuzhou, he still had to put on this gesture.

"My lord, General Di has done his best. In the battle with Liu Bei, General Di's troops suffered heavy casualties, and many of the remaining soldiers are also injured!"

"Among all the generals under General Di, there are only a few left who can go into battle!" Wang Zhongsi spoke up to help Di Qing defend himself.

Di Qing had tried to fight against Li Tang's troops, but he was unable to catch them. Li Tang relied on its advantage at sea and was hard to defend against, so it was difficult for Di Qing to do everything.

Li Shunchen even took the initiative to attack when Di Qing's troops were scattered. Although the combat effectiveness of the navy soldiers would be affected to a certain extent after they went ashore, with the advantage in manpower and the fact that Di Qing's troops were seriously damaged, they still won a small victory and killed and wounded thousands of Di Qing's soldiers.

"Well, with Di Qing's troops, they have to defend the long coastline and resist the attacks of the powerful Li Tang. They have done their best to achieve what they have done so far."

"It seems that if we want to pacify the Tang bandits, we must send more troops to Xuzhou!" Li Xiang said thoughtfully.

Not only the soldiers under Di Qing, but also the generals, were not able to fight normally. In the last battle, more than a dozen generals died.

As for the rest, Gao Chong first fought against Yuan Shen, and then joined forces with Ye Hua to fight against Huang Pao when he was severely exhausted. The injuries on his body were not light, and although he still had the strength to fight, his combat power was only 60% of his peak period.

As for Ye Hua, in order to help Gao Chong, he fought hard and was injured to repel Zhang Guifang. In this state, he fought against Yuan Shen again, and then fought against Huang Pao again. After that battle, he was seriously injured and had no fighting power. In this situation, he must not be allowed to go to the battlefield again.

Jin Tai, he had been carrying Xie Wuyun by himself until Jiang Song arrived. If Jiang Song had been a little later, Jin Tai would have been dead. When Jiang Song arrived, he was already seriously injured and dying.

As for Peng Mo and the other two, although one of them created the opportunity to seriously injure Liu Chenxiang at the cost of being injured, their injuries were not serious.

These two are currently capable of going to the battlefield.

As for the Li Tang side, although Li Yuanba was not there, after all, in the entire Li Tang, no one except Li Shimin could command them.

However, a number of powerful generals such as Yamata no Orochi, Shuten Douji, and Dujiaosi were in the army.

Du Jiaosi is very strong, but although his basic strength is only 107, he is not necessarily worse than those weaker high-level gods. However, if he faces those top high-level gods, it is basically difficult for him to have any hope of winning.

However, Jiang Song, who was not afraid of those high-level generals, was defeated by Du Jiaosi and almost did not return alive.

If Gao Chong hadn't come to help in time, Jiang Song might have really died here. But even if the two of them joined forces, they couldn't defeat Du Jiaosi.

It can only be said that although skill restraint is rare, once it happens, there is really nothing you can do. Especially for Jiang Song, Du Jiaosi can be said to be his natural nemesis.

"Well, Wang Zhongsi, you will lead 5,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to station in Xuzhou!"

"I don't ask you to wipe out all the Li Tang bandits, but at least, you need to take Xuzhou safely."

Li Xiang really didn't expect Wang Zhongsi to be able to deal with Li Tang's invading troops. It wasn't because of lack of strength, but simply because of a mismatch in expertise.

This time Li Tang came to plunder, not to start a war. Each time he divided into several groups and attacked separately. He was the type who would grab things and run away.

If it is small, there may be only a few hundred troops, and even if it is large, it is at most two or three thousand. Li Sunchen took the initiative to attack like Di Qing, which was considered to be too many people, but he only mobilized more than 4000 troops.

The Li Tang navy would only gather together when they were at sea.

Therefore, if you want to annihilate the enemy completely, there is no possibility unless you go to the sea.

However, if these landlubbers led by Wang Zhongsi were allowed to go to the sea, they would probably not be able to swim more than 50 meters to the coastline and would lose their lives.

Therefore, Li Xiang did not expect Wang Zhongsi to be able to do anything to the opponent. Without the cooperation of a certain naval force, it would be difficult to cause a fundamental blow to the opponent.

Although Di Qing also had 8,000 naval forces under his command, they were far inferior to Li Tang's navy in terms of both quality and quantity.

All Wang Yu wanted was to secure Xuzhou.

After the war in the south is over, his navy will be free. If at that time, Li Tang's navy still dares to stay and refuses to leave, there will naturally be a chance for them to show their true colors.
