The crossing starts from the Datang Shuanglong

Chapter 190
"My lord, are you okay! Next time, you can't take this risk again!"

The heart of emptiness is as fine as a hair, so that after his eyes swept over the dirt and dust on Chu Tianxiu's clothes, he quickly realized what was going on with Chu Tianxiu, and said helplessly and with concern.

"Haha, it was just an accident! I didn't expect that this time, I would meet 'Flying Eagle' Qu Ao! He was almost killed by him."

The resurrection from the dead was too bizarre, and Chu Tianxiu didn't want outsiders to know the embarrassment of being buried in the ground for a long time as a dead person, so he bypassed this point and only said that he met this time. "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao, and beheaded him.

"Flying Eagle Qu Ao? He was only defeated by Grandmaster Tie Le under the command of 'Wu Zun' Bi Xuan? If this matter is widely spread, it will definitely increase the prestige of my warriors in the Central Plains and make your reputation even higher, my lord." There was a touch of joy on Xu Xingzhi's face, and he said eagerly.

There is no one in the Han Dynasty, Hu Daochang.

Since Sima Zhao usurped Wei and established the Jin state, the five Hus were in chaos and the North and the South were separated. The Han people who were originally called one Han as the Five Hus gradually became known as "cowards" and "two-legged sheep".

However, after Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty and restored the Central Plains, the situation improved a bit. However, after Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty experienced the failure of the three conquests of Goguryeo and the encirclement of Yanmen Pass, the prestige of the Central Plains declined sharply. He was looked down upon by foreigners outside the Great Wall.

If it weren't for the fact that Turks, the overlord of the Grassland outside the Great Wall, not only split into two parts, East and West Turks, but also the interior of East Turks and West Turks were in chaos, with internal strife, otherwise the Turks, who have long coveted the prosperity of the Central Plains, might have already entered the Central Plains , The horse stepped into Chang'an.

The decline of the Han regime also made the Han warriors look down upon by the grassland people. Therefore, if Chu Tianxiu's record of killing Qu Ao is spread, it will indeed increase his reputation, and even the effect is better than that of Chutian. Xiuzhu's record in killing Chao Gongcuo was ten times better.

"Okay! Let Chu Liang take care of the specific arrangements for this matter! Military division, what is the strength of our army now? Can we start to take down Donghai County?" Chu Tianxiu asked with concern.

"My lord, according to your order, Gao Zhandao has led [-] elite soldiers back to the Central Plains and arrived at Hudouzhou for repairs. The adjustment can be completed in at most ten days. After General Qin led [-] elite soldiers to occupy Hailing, our army first recruited the generals. Zuo Xiaoyou had [-] troops under his banner, and later recruited new troops locally. At present, there are [-] soldiers and horses. Therefore, our army currently has a total of [-] soldiers, with sufficient weapons, food and grass, and is no longer inferior to the official army of the Sui Dynasty .”

After Xu Xingzhi finished speaking like a treasure, his voice paused slightly, and after sorting out his thoughts, he said solemnly:

"According to the information from Anque, there are [-] troops and [-] civilians in Donghai County. Not only are the walls thick and the troops strong, but there are also good generals sitting in the town. I have attacked Donghai several times, but they all returned without success! My lord, with all due respect, if you want to win this Donghai County, you will have to go through a tough battle."

Xu Xingzhi's information did not exceed Chu Tianxiu's expectation.

Donghai County is not a small city, but is located at the junction of the north and south of the Central Plains. It is a throat fortress of the Huaihe River defense line in the Central Plains, and has always been an important place for military strategists.

Emperor Yangdi of the Sui Dynasty failed in his three conquests of Goguryeo, so that after refugees from Shandong and Jianghuai areas rose up everywhere, this place became a major obstacle for the insurgents to go south and north. If it is easy to fight here, then Du Fuwei, Xu Yuanlang, Meng Haigong, Li Zitong and other leaders of the rebel army probably took down this fort long ago and stabbed the heart of the Great Sui Dynasty viciously.

"Well, this battle is naturally not easy to fight! However, if there is no way to win even the East China Sea, then our army's plan to plot Jiangdu will only be empty talk."

The geographical distribution and military layout of Donghai City have already been figured out by Chu Liang's underlings little by little, and made into a sand table for the reference of the soldiers of the Hailing Army, so Chu Tianxiu naturally knows the difficulty of capturing Hailing——

Among other things, just the three-foot-wide moat outside Hailing City had to be filled with the lives of a large number of soldiers in order to successfully take it down.

But a man of kindness does not command troops, and he should not stick to small details. It is precisely because of the critical location of Donghai County that Chu Tianxiu can use this as a base to attack Langya, Dongping, Laizhou and other places in Shandong in the south, and Pengcheng in the west. Xiapi, HD and other places in Xuzhou made him make up his mind just now, he must swallow this piece of land before taking down Jiangdu!
In fact, according to Chu Tianxiu's thinking, his attack on Hailing County was also a military rehearsal for him to enter Yangzhou and take Jiangdu City a few months later.

The soldiers under Chu Tianxiu's command are indeed elite. Most of them have had blood, killed people, at least they have fought and looted in Goguryeo, and competed with Goguryeo's township and official troops. I have experienced battles on the battlefield.

However, the intensity of the looting-based war is naturally not on the same level as a real siege. They have to fight hard under this fortified city before they can be thoroughly polished into weapons.

"If my lord has made up his mind, he will naturally not say much. However, this battle is very dangerous. Why don't your lord withdraw General Li from overseas and let him take charge of this battle? With General Li's military skills, he will surely win the battle. " Xu Xingzhi persuaded.

"Military Master, that's unnecessary! The situation in the outer sea is turbulent and mixed. Without him and Hong Fu Nu sitting in command, I really can't rest assured. Don't worry, I have Qin Qiong and Zuo Xiaoyou under my command. There will be no surprises." Chu Tianxiu vetoed it.

There are some things that Chu Tianxiu can't talk about, but he has to understand in his heart.

With Li Jing's ability to lead the army, it is true that Donghai County can be easily taken down, allowing Chu Tianxiu to sit back and enjoy the benefits.

But relying on others and disregarding priorities is almost tantamount to letting Chu Tianxiu reduce himself to a new Zhai Rang, directly planting a huge hidden danger in his power.

All the founders of the country must personally risk swords and arrows and go to battle to kill people, so as to suppress the arrogant soldiers below and establish the prestige of the leader, otherwise it will be easy for Tai Ah to turn his back and end up with Zhai Rang, Chao Gai, and Xiao Xiao. King Ming's fate...

Therefore, in this critical battle, Chu Tianxiu could not pretend to be someone else, and personally acted to determine the situation and establish prestige.

Not to mention, with Chu Tianxiu's current force value, it will undoubtedly be a trump card in this battle, which is enough to form a dimension-reducing blow to the defenders of Donghai County.
