Pang Ming led 25 troops and headed straight for Zhao.
Zhang Beichen, on the other hand, slowed him down and led his elite Xuanwu Army, which had increased to 30,000 in number in recent years, and 220,000 other troops to attack Zhao from another route.
…
Pang Ming's initial progress was very smooth. Before the tiger and leopard cavalry were transferred, Wei Wuzu's powerful combat power was enough to defeat the enemy head-on. He conquered many cities in succession and gained momentum.
In front of their marching route was the Jinyang City of Zhao State, which was a large city with strong defense and strong strength.
The generals suggested: "General, the city defense of Jinyang is strong, and Zhao's reinforcements must have arrived in Jinyang. Why don't we rest where we are and wait for the prime minister's army to attack, and the enemy will divide his troops to support us, and then we can continue the attack?"
Hearing his words, Pang Ming was immediately unhappy and said, "Are you looking down on me? In Jinyang, I can be destroyed with just one hand!"
"Send the order, the whole army speeds up, and capture Jinyang before Zhang Beichen attacks, so that everyone can see whose expertise is in marching and fighting!"
Pang Ming's realm at this time has reached the pinnacle of the ninth realm of military strategism, and he is about to be promoted to semi-saint. With his consecutive victories, he will naturally be proud and complacent.
…
Outside Jinyang City, Pang Ming arrived first with tens of thousands of elites.
Sure enough, the defenders of Jinyang City were already well prepared and the city was heavily fortified.
The subordinate once again suggested Pang Ming to wait for the army to join together, but Pang Ming said angrily: "I think you are timid! When going to war, you need to go all out in one go, then weaken again, and then be exhausted! Now that our morale is high, we must take advantage of the victory to attack!" "
"Send the order and attack Jinyang City tomorrow!"
The next day, the elite troops led by Pang Ming began to attack Jinyang City. They attacked the city for three consecutive days without making any progress.
At this time, a subordinate found him.
"General!" the subordinate said, "the general's uncle is serving as a guard in Jinyang City. If the general is willing to give him a reward, he is willing to open the city gate at night to welcome our Wei army into the city!"
Pang Ming was anxious. He heard that Zhang Beichen had already led his troops to march towards the capital of Zhao State at this time.
As soon as he heard the news, he was overjoyed and said: "Okay, if this matter comes to pass, I will personally ask the King of Wei for a reward for him!"
[Pang Ming contacted the defenders in Jinyang City, and after promising huge profits, the other party also betrayed Zhao and opened the city gate secretly. 】
A few days later, it was night.
Today was the day that Pang Ming had agreed with the spy. He had made the soldiers eat well and get enough sleep early in preparation for the night attack tonight!
When the appointed time arrived, Pang Ming saw the city on fire. Immediately afterwards, a city gate was opened!
Pang Ming said with great joy: "Their granary has been burned and the city is in chaos. All the soldiers quickly follow me to attack the city! Capture Jinyang!"
"Kill!" The Wei army took advantage of the darkness and charged into Jinyang City.
However, not long after Pang Ming led his men in, they discovered that there was no commotion in the city as they imagined. Instead, the defenders were heavily guarded and seemed to have been prepared!
Outside the city, the sound of horse hooves was heard again. Cavalry were surrounding the city from the outside, and there were defenders inside the city. They were surrounded from both sides!
"General, we have fallen into a trap!" the subordinate said in panic.
"Don't mess up!" Pang Ming was considered a famous general after all. He knew that he had fallen into the enemy's scheme because of his impatience, but he was still able to remain calm.
"Let the soldiers form a square formation and fight out of the city gate!" When Pang Ming entered the city just now, people took control of the city gate, so his retreat was not blocked.
The soldiers immediately formed a strategy, guarding against the crossbows on the city wall while facing the enemy in front.
Pang Ming was riding at the front. He had already seen the enemy's cavalry cutting off the back road.
Xinnan shouted: "Pang Ming, where are you running? Today is the day you die!"
Pang Ming showed no fear and snorted coldly: "You only have thousands of people trying to stop me? I will come when I want and leave when I want!"
"Kill me!"
The soldiers of Wei Dynasty were killed!
And Xinnan also commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry to charge and kill.
Two elite corps collided!
The soldiers of Wei were really strong and did not retreat at all in the face of the cavalry charge. They held their shields sideways and raised their spears.
Sure enough, the first charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was blocked.
Pang Ming looked proud, but he discovered that the second wave of charges from the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had already followed!
"Block!" The shield wall of Wei Wuzu's military formation appeared and was broken through by the cavalry.
Then came the third wave of charges!
Each time is faster than the last time, and each time is more fierce than the last time!
In order to achieve the effect of this fish scale formation, Zhao Yun personally trained the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry for half a year!
Wei Wuzu's vanguard finally couldn't stop it, and was torn open by the cavalry. The tiger and leopard cavalry directly killed through the entire phalanx!
Once the infantry formation is broken, it will no longer be a match for the cavalry.
Pang Ming saw that the Wei soldiers he was proud of were slaughtered like chickens and ducks in front of the tiger and leopard cavalry!
At this time, the defenders in Jinyang City also came out and were surrounded by two armies. Pang Ming's army had no way to escape!
"I was careless!" Pang Ming looked up to the sky and sighed. If he fought steadily and waited for the army to arrive before attacking, even if the enemy's tiger and leopard cavalry were fierce, they would not be able to push him to a dead end!
But now, his large army has no time to support him, and Zhang Beichen's army is still in another direction!
"Pang Ming, suffer death!" Xinnan came over with Qin Tailmen to kill him.
Pang Ming fought bloody battles, but was unable to defeat the four-handed opponent with his two fists, and was eventually surrounded and killed by the crowd!
…
[Pang Ming underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. He fell into the enemy's scheme and was surrounded and killed by the enemy. The Wei army lost 100,000 troops, and all Wei soldiers were wiped out! 】
Zhang Beichen could only shake his head when he saw the news. He reminded Pang Ming, but the petty Pang Ming thought he looked down on him.
You know, the Zhao State now is not the Zhao State before. Zhao Yun had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the last simulation, and Zhao Jun's strength was no longer the Zhao Jun in Pang Ming's impression!
Once Pang Ming died, Zhang Beichen could only send people to receive the hundreds of thousands of remnants of the Wei army. Next, his army was the only one to attack Zhao Jun.
…
After Pang Ming was eliminated, Zhao Guo was able to fully respond to Zhang Beichen's attack.
Zhao Yun directly asked all the tiger and leopard cavalry and other elite soldiers he had trained to come over to fight Zhang Beichen.
At this time, because of the limited national power of each country. Zhao State's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry only had more than 20,000 men, while Zhang Beichen's Xuanwu Army had a larger number.
Zhang Beichen led his troops forward and reached outside the capital of Zhao State.
On the plain, the two armies took up positions and prepared to compete.
Zhao Yun did not want to fight a defensive battle, so that her cavalry would not be able to take advantage. And Zhang Beichen's infantry advantage will be even greater!
"Zhang Qing, I have learned your cavalry tactics, let me see what else you can do to deal with this cavalry!" Zhao Yun went on a personal expedition and personally directed the war.
…
On the battlefield, the two armies faced each other.
Zhang Beichen rode a horse and looked from a distance, only to see Zhao Yun riding a horse opposite her. She was wearing a silver armor, her long legs tightly locked on the horse's body, and she looked heroic.
"King Zhao!" Zhang Beichen shouted, "As long as you surrender to the Kingdom of Wei, the King of Wei will protect you from glory and wealth throughout your life!"
Zhao Yun said coldly: "Don't speak too early. Zhang Beichen, if you lose, come to Zhao country, Gu Ye will guarantee you a lifetime of glory and wealth!"
"Then let's begin!" Zhang Beichen stopped talking nonsense and ordered the drums to be played.
Behind Zhao Yun, the square formation was also ready.
The two of them unanimously placed their elites at the front of the phalanx, because they all knew that the outcome of these tens of thousands of elites was decisive to the outcome of the war!
…
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, follow me and fight in!" Zhao Yun took the lead with her spear in hand.
Behind him, 20,000 tigers and leopards rode forward at lightning speed.
Zhang Beichen calmly commanded: "Xuanwu Army, form an array!"
I saw the first row of his heavy infantry all putting down their heavy shields to block. The cavalryman hit the shield wall, fell over, and was quickly stabbed to death.
But the cavalry behind were still charging.
"Spike the horse!" Zhang Beichen continued to shout.
I saw rows of spears thrust out of the infantry square. This kind of spear is twice as long as an ordinary spear!
It is actually inconvenient to use, but it has special effects when arrayed against cavalry. This kind of spear can attack the enemy before the cavalry comes into contact, and is more lethal to horses than to people!
In the first two waves of charges, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry did not gain an advantage, and Zhao Yun continued to lead the charge.
The third wave of cavalry followed closely, and the first layer of the Xuanwu Army's shield wall was finally broken.
Zhao Yun was overjoyed and was about to lead her men to kill them through the military formation.
At this time, the infantry in the rear immediately replenished and formed a shield wall again!
Not only that, the crossbowmen behind the phalanx also started shooting with all their strength, and the cavalry were shot down one by one!
Zhao's cavalry are all light cavalry, and it is very simple to attack ordinary infantry squares. But for the first time they encountered a well-equipped and well-trained heavy infantry phalanx like the Xuanwu Army, they failed to gain any advantage!
If it was an ordinary cavalry, it would have been smashed by this heavy infantry!
However, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is extremely resilient and can quickly adjust even if there is temporary chaos.
Zhao Yun ordered other troops behind him to attack, and Zhang Beichen did the same.
Other cavalry and infantry phalanxes charged forward.
Although Zhao's cavalry was powerful, they were never able to break through the Xuanwu Army's defense. The heavy infantry phalanx is like a tank on the battlefield, crushing all the way forward!
Zhao Yun saw that his tiger and leopard cavalry were getting fewer and fewer as they fought. At the back, no matter how brave the soldiers were, they could not restore the decline!
As for other army operations, the Zhao army could barely compete with the Wei army. But it could not stop the Xuanwu Army's charge, so that the Zhao army quickly fell into a disadvantage.
"Withdraw!" Zhao Yun knew that the battle had been lost, but she was not willing to give in. She led her soldiers back to the capital, preparing to continue the defensive battle.
[The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were restrained by the Xuanwu Army, and the Zhao Army was defeated. Zhao Yun led the remaining troops back to the capital of Zhao State and defended themselves. 】
[You lead hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege the city and conduct siege continuously. After a full six months, you finally broke through the capital of Zhao State. 】
Zhao Yun still couldn't wait for a turn of events, because the defenders in other parts of Zhao State lost a lot of fighting spirit after hearing that Zhao Jun was defeated.
Some people surrendered to Wei in advance, resulting in Zhao Yun never receiving strong support. After being trapped for half a year, the city ran out of food and could no longer defend the city.
Zhang Beichen broke through the city and led people to the Palace of King Zhao, preparing to capture King Zhao, but found that King Zhao had already drunk poison and was offline.
She probably had heard about Wei Yao's style and was reluctant to be "conquered" by Wei Yao, so she logged off early.
[The capital of Zhao State was occupied, and most of the soldiers surrendered. It took you another half a year to completely quell the civil strife in Zhao. At this point, the Zhao Kingdom was destroyed! 】
After annexing Zhao State, Wei State directly became the most powerful country in the world!
…
"It's a pity that we didn't capture Zhao Yun this time!" Wei Yao was still a little regretful. Her achievement of bringing queens from all over the world into her harem could only be achieved this time.
That woman Xiong Zhitong would definitely not agree.
She opened the information panel to check and found that Chu State was not doing well at this time!
While Wei was attacking Zhao, a war broke out between Chu and Yue.
According to previous simulations, it would be easy for the Chu State to destroy the Yue State. But this time, the Yue State rose inexplicably and annexed the land of Qi State. It was so powerful that it was able to fight Chu State back and forth!
"What's going on? Is there anyone in Yue who can stop that crazy woman Xiong Zhitong?" Wei Yao was surprised.
She immediately sent people to Vietnam to investigate intelligence.
…
A few months later, the spies sent by Wei Yao returned the information.
It turned out that more than ten years ago. The King of Yue went out to play and met a Taoist priest in the mountains. The Taoist priest had great supernatural powers and was proficient in the art of immortality and military training. He helped the King of Yue create a powerful "Yue Jia Soldier". With this Yue Jia Soldier, the King of Yue Not only did it suppress domestic opposition forces, it also rose to become a powerful country in the world.
And that Taoist's Taoist name is "Tianxing Taoist"!
"This demon actually went to Yue Kingdom in this game!" Wei Yao became alert. They were all aware of it after so many simulations.
This Tianxing Taoist is the human spokesperson of a mysterious "Huang Tian" who has all kinds of weird methods. If he is allowed to develop, he has the ability to bring trouble to the world!
Wei Yao immediately summoned Zhang Beichen, Ying Yin and Han Mengshu to discuss.
"It's that evil Taoist again, he must be killed!" Ying Yin hated Taoist Tianxing very much. He was the majestic Emperor of Qin, but he was bewitched by him, causing the Qin country to be in chaos!
There was no chance for revenge before, so killing him in this game will be the same!
"Sister Yin Ren is right. If we don't kill Taoist Tianxing, there will be no peace in the world! And the sooner the better!" Han Mengshu also agreed with her opinion.
Zhang Beichen said: "Currently, Chu and Yue are at war. The most beneficial thing for us is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. But the opponent is Tianxing Taoist. If Yue really wins, he might create millions of corpse soldiers!"
"Now the Wei State has not yet unified the world. It does not have millions of troops, and it does not have the sacred weapon to defeat the country. I think that we should join forces with the Chu State to fight against the Yue State!"
"Okay, since you all see it this way, then I will send a letter to the King of Chu and join forces with her to fight against the Yue Kingdom!" Wei Yao said.
[You send a letter of credence to the King of Chu, indicating that you are willing to join the Chu Kingdom and fight against the enemy together. The King of Chu agreed to your proposal, and Wei and Chu formed an alliance to share intelligence and coordinate operations. 】
…
Zhang Beichen got the information from Chu State and found out that Taoist Tianxing had changed his approach this time.
In the previous simulation of the Great Qin Empire, he used corpse soldiers to fight.
But this time, he was building "armor soldiers". It is said that he asked the soldiers to drink a special potion. After drinking it, the soldiers would grow scales like monsters.
After being transformed into armored soldiers, the soldiers' defense and combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced.
Even Xiong Zhitong's Overlord Army failed to gain any advantage in the head-on confrontation with the Yue soldiers. Half of the Overlord Army she had finally built was lost!
The number of Yue Jia soldiers only decreased briefly, and soon increased to 100,000!
…
[You recruit 400,000 troops from the State of Zhao and go to the territory of the State of Chu to support the State of Chu. 】
At this time, the Vietnamese army had already reached the hinterland of Chu State, and was only a month away from Yingcheng, the capital of Chu State.
It can be said that as long as the Wei State does not care about it, the Chu State is in danger of collapse.
Zhang Beichen led his army to merge with the King of Chu. At this time, Chu State still had more than 300,000 elites, but Xiong Zhitong's overlord army only had 30,000 soldiers left.
Zhang Beichen met Xiong Zhitong again.
She still has that "me and all" look. Although she is beautiful, Zhang Beichen knows very well that this woman cannot be easily provoked unless you can beat her!
"Zhang Beichen!" Xiong Zhitong said the first thing he said when he saw Zhang Beichen, "I know that you are a good commander. I will give you the command of the Chu army. You will take command!"
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!" Fan Lue quickly dissuaded him. Zhang Beichen was an outsider after all. How could he hand over the command of the Chu army to him?
However, Xiong Zhitong didn't care and said: "I have made up my mind. You must obey Zhang Beichen's command, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
"Then what does the king want to do?" Zhang Beichen asked Xiong Zhitong.
Xiong Zhitong was full of fighting spirit and said: "I have reached the peak of the Holy Realm, but I have never reached the Imperial Realm! This time, I just use Taoist Tianxing as my whetstone!"
In many simulations, without contact with the dragon vein power seal of Kyushu, almost no one in the Central Plains can reach the imperial realm, and even reaching the late stage of the holy realm is difficult!
Zhang Beichen had to sigh with emotion, King Chu was indeed a martial arts wizard, and he could reach the pinnacle of the holy realm like this!
At this time, Tianxing Taoist probably did not have the cultivation level of the Emperor Realm.
…
[You took over the command of the Chu army. Many Chu army generals were dissatisfied with this. You used means to barely balance the internal contradictions. 】
[King Lu Mi of Yue personally led an army of 500,000 to fight, including 100,000 Yue Jia soldiers, with Tianxing Taoist as the leading general. 】
In terms of numbers, the total number of Vietnamese troops was smaller than that of the Chu-Wei coalition. However, the Yue Jia soldiers were able to defeat ten with one, and were extremely brave. Based on comprehensive judgment, Wei and Chu were still at a disadvantage.
Xiong Zhitong wanted a big battle, so it was naturally impossible for him to fight a city defense battle. So Zhang Beichen directly mobilized the troops and fought the opponent on the plain!
…
In the central camp of the Vietnamese army, Yue King Lu Mi was discussing tactical arrangements with Taoist Tianxing.
Lu Mi's face turned pale. He was in the prime of life but his steps were sluggish and his spirit was listless. The previous King of Yue once built the country of Yue into a great power. However, the previous King of Yue had been living in dissolute ways for thousands of years, died suddenly, and failed to establish a heir, which led to civil strife in Vietnam.
Lu Mi was previously a noble of the Yue Kingdom. Because he got to know Tianxing Taoist, he quickly rose up in the civil strife with the help of his armored soldiers. He killed his enemies and became the king.
"National Master!" Lu Mi said respectfully to Taoist Tianxing, "The King of Chu is strong and difficult to defeat. Now that Wei and Chu have merged, Zhang Beichen is no ordinary person. Does Taoist Master have any strategies to deal with the enemy?"
