Chapter 280: The Counterattack of the Holy Sect of Bliss [Lifting the Ban]
Xuanji just said it casually, but suddenly he had an idea. He raised his head and looked at Luo Xiang's worried eyes. Their expressions changed: "Japanese pirates, on the East China Sea and the South China Sea."
Fifty thousand Japanese pirates!”
Xuanji broke out in a cold sweat, and then comforted himself and said: "Sir, are we too worried? The Japanese pirates rarely move in the winter and spring every year, and now it is just a routine rest period. Maybe they will come back again."
In half a month, we will be able to hear news of their activities again."
Luo Xiang said solemnly: "No, now that the decisive battle is imminent, it is impossible for the Paradise Alliance to let go of such a powerful navy. Where will they use these 50,000 Japanese pirates?"
"Jiangnan!" Xuanji squeezed out two words from between his teeth.
It's too late!
No one expected that Cassimbas would move so quickly. When Xuanji had just informed Pang Ye of their speculations, news had already arrived from Jiangnan.
On March 28, the second day after Haotian was assassinated, 50,000 Japanese pirates plus more than 10,000 Japanese naval forces mobilized from Zhoushan, Ryukyu and Qiongya suddenly appeared at the coast with all their large and small ships.
In the Jiangzhou Road section of the Dajiang River, the Zhu Zhao Corps and the Ping Lang Corps on Jiangnan Road were obviously well prepared. The 200,000-strong army escaped the surveillance of all Qingfeng parties by using a golden cicada to escape from its shell. They all crossed the river overnight, and then followed the
He went up the river and marched to the foot of Shouzhou City. Before the Zhang family could recover, they cooperated with the Minghui Army in Shouzhou City to attack the 80,000-strong army led by Zhang Jishi.
Facing the 300,000 Ji Le elites led by the four famous generals of Ji Le, although Zhang Jishi and his son were pale-faced at the time, they did not dare to retreat without permission this time. The previous time Zhang Jishi slipped away quietly during the Battle of Shouzhou, Zhang Cangxiong was furious.
He was furious, and this time Zhang Cangxiong led an army of 100,000 to personally sit in Jiang'an County, north of Shouzhou City. Qingfeng had tried his best this time, and Zhang Jishi naturally understood the importance of this battle. If he had slipped away quietly this time
, let’s not talk about whether the Huai River can still be saved, I am afraid that Zhang Cangxiong, who is extremely angry, will definitely kill him and sacrifice the flag afterwards.
Under such circumstances, although Zhang Jishi knew that staying would be a dead end, but the way back was cut off, and the army of Zhang and his son retreated to Fushan County to the west of Shouzhou, relying on the incomplete city wall to fight to the death.
Resist the joint attack of the four famous generals of Bliss.
The terrain of Huai River is flat, so most of the city walls of the state capital are made of blue bricks on the outside and covered with clay inside. Most of them are easy to attack and difficult to defend. Half of the 80,000 soldiers led by Zhang Jishi were recruits recruited after the fall of eastern Huai River. Although after
After a year of training, there is still a certain distance compared with the veterans of Huaishui. Facing the 300,000 troops led by the four famous generals of Ji Le, Fushan County fell without any suspense after two days. The city was
Of the 80,000 defenders, there were less than 2,000 survivors, except for Zhang Jishi and his son who fought desperately to break through at the last stage. Although Zhang Cangxiong raised troops several times to come to the rescue, they were all blocked on the outside of the battlefield by Heiro, the best defensive member of the Holy Sect of Paradise.
There are no mobile troops in Huai River. Zhang Cangxiong watched helplessly as his son of Huai River died on the battlefield. He was helpless and burst into tears.
After Zhang Jishi's 80,000 Huai River army was annihilated, Huai River's total military strength has now dropped to 170,000, including 100,000 from Zhang Cangxiong's Yellow Turban Army, and 70,000 from Danzhou, the capital of Huai River, led by Zhang Cangxiong's uncle Zhang Keliang.
Garrison. And Zhu Zhao and others now have a total force of 230,000 that can fight. In desperation, Zhang Cangxiong was forced to retreat to Raozhou City, which had been destroyed by the Hengbu of the Holy Sect of Paradise, to prevent the Holy Sect of Paradise from taking the opportunity to move north.
A sneak attack on the rear of the Qingfeng coalition that is still fighting in the Ningzhou area of Yangzhou.
However, the pace of the Holy Sect's northward march was extremely determined. Under the personal leadership of Zhu Zhao and the four men, together with 50,000 Japanese pirates and 10,000 Eastern Japanese navy troops, nearly 300,000 troops slowly moved northward along the Huaihe River.
In order to stop the progress of the Holy Sect of Paradise, the Huai River naval general Zhang Cangzong led the Huai River 30,000 water divisions to start a battle on the Huai River with the Eastern Japanese navy general Hideju Tanabe and the Japanese pirate leader Ogame Saburo 60,000 water divisions.
A vigorous battle.
The Huai River Navy took full advantage of their familiarity with the local hydrological and geographical environment and took the initiative to launch an attack on the Dong Japanese Navy. The Dong Japanese Navy was not to be outdone. They made full use of their military advantage and tried their best to reconcile with the Huai River Division.
The water division launched hand-to-hand combat. In the hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese pirates' individual combat advantages will be fully exerted. Although the Huaishui navy is also very brave in combat, it faces twice the troop advantage and a more powerful individual than itself.
However, Zhang Cangzong's retreat meant that he gave up control of the Huai River. Faced with this situation, no one blamed Zhang Cangzong for using 30,000 naval troops to fight against the Japanese.
With a strength of 60,000, although the entire army was close to being destroyed, it still caused the opponent more than 20,000 troops to lose and destroyed half of the opponent's warships. This is something to be proud of.
Originally thinking that Zhu Zhao would choose to attack Tiandu Shengjing, which had weak defense forces, Zhang Cangxiong quickly led the Yellow Turban Army to station in Tiandu Shengjing, and took up the defensive task together with Liu Nanshu's Suzaku Army. Who knew that Zhu Zhao actually went directly north to Yuzhou Road
, after replenishing the number of troops to 300,000 at the border of Meizhou, they headed toward the border of Yuzhou Road and Ruzhou with murderous intent.
In front of them is the 200,000 elite army of the Qinchuan Li family. As long as they break through the defense line of the Li family's army, the Holy Sect of Paradise will be able to cut off the retreat of Qingfeng's army and trap Qingfeng's one million army in the east of Yuzhou Road.
area.
At the beginning, the imperial court did not expect that the Paradise Alliance would actually cut off its retreat route from south to north. However, the Northeastern Allied Forces, the Eastern Japanese Army and the Paradise Holy Army on Yangzhou Road were all regarded by Qingfeng, so they did not attack the south at all.
They invested too much force. As a result, the Holy Sect of Bliss hit the weak spot of the Qingfeng coalition forces when they moved north. At this time, Qingfeng had already seen clearly Kasimbas's true intention, which was to intercept Zhu Zhao's army.
The Qingfeng Allied Forces retreated, and then surrounded them on all sides to make dumplings. Although the meat filling of this dumpling is very large, and it will burst your stomach if you are not careful, but the main logistics supplies of the Qingfeng Allied Forces are also hoarded in Xuzhou, but most of them are
Part of it is shipped from Tiandu Shengjing. Without enough strategic materials, it is impossible for the nearly one million troops to obtain food locally, otherwise they will be consumed by the Paradise Alliance.
Under such circumstances, even the three pillars of the main battle have to consider whether it is meaningful to continue in this stalemate. If the retreat is really cut off, then the million-strong army will become a turtle in the urn, but
If we retreat now, all the efforts we made at the beginning will be in vain. However, the situation waits for no one. In order to snipe Zhu Zhao's army heading north, Li Tieming has led his 200,000 elite troops in the eastern part of Ruzhou.
Shan County has been blocked for three full days.
The Qinchuan army has always been elite, especially the Red Eyebrow Legion, the leader of the Li family, whose combat effectiveness is even more powerful, probably even better than the Empire's Qinglong Legion. The remaining 100,000 troops, because Li Tieming has to fight from
The Red Eyebrow Legion exchanges elites to balance the combat effectiveness of the army, so its combat effectiveness is almost the same as that of the empire's established legions. The commander of the Red Eyebrow Legion, Li Tiezhan, is the number one general among the three major families, and the crown prince Li Xiaomo is known as
The most outstanding person among the new generation of young people in the empire, but such a tough Qinchuan army was constantly in danger on the second day of defense.
Fanshan County was originally an ordinary county town, but Ji Le's 300,000-strong army was personally led by four famous generals. Zhu Zhao's insidiousness and cunning, Yan's tragedy's generosity and solemnity, Ping Lang's simplicity, and Minghui's aggression were like fire.
The bravery of Shangjile's army left a deep impression on the defender Li Xiaomo. It was at this time that Li Xiaomo truly admired Zhang Jishi, whom he had always looked down on before, for being able to rely on only 80,000 second-rate troops.
After holding on for two days and causing more than 70,000 losses to the Holy Sect of Paradise, it seems that the combat effectiveness of the Zhang family soldiers is still considerable. In order to block the desperate attack of the Holy Sect of Paradise, the Qinchuan army only sacrificed 40,000 yuan on the first day.
The cost of many people.
After urgent discussions, Emperor Yinglie finally decided to temporarily withdraw his troops from Tiandu Shengjing, and all the army returned to the areas controlled before Beginning of Spring. Emperor Yinglie was also very troubled in the order of the army's retreat in batches. After repeated discussions with Tiezhen and others
After discussion, it was finally decided to let the Yuzhou Army, which had the weakest combat effectiveness, withdraw first. He Huairen asked Li Fengcheng to lead the 70,000 naval divisions from Qinchuan and Huai River to return to the capital Shengjing via Jishui to prevent Zhu Zhao from being helped by Japanese pirates.
Raid on Tiandu Shengjing, and he led the remaining 30,000 naval troops of the Dragon Cavalry to retreat to the Luozhou section of the great river. The Dragon Cavalry Corps immediately rushed to Fanshan County, and together with the Li family and his sons, resisted Zhu Zhao and other four famous generals
attack. The Hetao army was seriously injured by Haotian and was still sometimes awake and sometimes confused. Therefore, it followed the Yuzhou Army and retreated back to Shanyin County. As for the final task, the Yinglie Emperor himself led the Qinglong, Imperial Guard and Northern Army.
After learning the news of Qingfeng's withdrawal, Cassimbas finally moved this time. The more than 300,000 Northeastern Allied Forces were like wind and clouds, following the retreat of Qingfeng Allied Forces. However, the Qingfeng Army that was behind them was not a coward.
, under the leadership of Emperor Yinglie and Tie Zhen's strategizing, the army fought and retreated. Tie Zhen made full use of his familiarity with the terrain of the Henan area, constantly setting up ambushes and defenses based on strategic locations along the way, and launching counterattacks from time to time.
Even though Kasimbas was a famous coach, Tie Zhen was also a battle-hardened veteran. With all his strength, Kasimbas could not even try to please him in a short period of time.
