Both sides of the war understand that although the war has not yet broken out, once the two sides start fighting, they will fight to the death. If Qingfeng is defeated this time, then even Tiandu Shengjing will not be able to hold on, and Qinchuan Road will definitely become the forefront of the war.
, the environment of the Zhang family will become even worse. To put it bluntly, Qingfeng is about to be destroyed. And if the Paradise Alliance is defeated, then the three northeastern countries will definitely retreat to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun to deal with Qingfeng's counterattack with all their strength.
The Holy Sect of Paradise may also be destroyed. Only the Japanese can withdraw from the battlefield with their powerful navy. Failure will be unbearable for either side. Therefore, both sides are seizing this rare period of time.
Actively prepare for war.
At the boundary of Danzhou and Hepingzhou on the Huai River, Zhang Cangxiong concentrated Huai River's 250,000 army troops, plus 30,000 naval troops on standby. Behind him was Liu Nanshang's incomplete Suzaku Army.
However, the Suzaku Army has now been replenished, and only tens of thousands of new recruits have been recruited, and the combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed at all. Now the 200,000-strong army of the Holy Bliss Minghui and the military advisor Bing Heng are pressing down on the border of Raozhou with murderous intent.
It can support the battlefield in Yuzhou, in the west it can intimidate Tiandu Shengjing and the Zhang family in Huai River, and in the south it can support Zhu Zhao who is still on Jiangnan Road. It has completely become a nail, keeping an eye on Zhang Cangxiong's every move.
In today's Qingfeng Empire, the only one with a strong mobile force is the Song family on Yizhou Road. However, Song Zhengfeng always used excuses to accuse the dynasty of having evil intentions, and the huge troops under his command were unwilling to march eastward. And Song Junlin on Dahu Road was also like
It was as if he had taken root. Despite many urgings from the court, he remained motionless. And since all the garrison troops on Dahu Road had been taken away by Duke Jingnan, Song Junlin was now taking over the local administrative power, and his disobedience was clearly revealed.
However, this is indeed the only army that can pose a threat to Zhu Zhao on Jiangnan Road. Although the Holy Sect of Paradise is desperately trying to expand its strength, due to limitations in population and strength, the strength of 500,000 troops is already the limit. Zhu Zhao et al.
The four famous generals each led 100,000 troops, and the leader Cheng Xianqing led the 100,000 most elite protective soldiers of the Holy Sect of Paradise. As the army of Dongwa Watanabe's subordinates had withdrawn from Jiangnan Road in order to deal with the upcoming attack on Yuzhou Road
Storm, now there is only Zhu Zhao's 100,000 troops on Jiangnan Road. But the surrounding Ouyang Jingzhong and Zhang Cangxiong are both weak-minded, and Zhu Zhao does have some abilities, so he has established a firm foothold on Jiangnan Road. However,
If the surrounding Qingfeng forces were allowed to free their hands, Zhu Zhao's life would definitely be difficult.
Of course, we have to wait until the surrounding Ouyang Jingzhong, Zhang Cangxiong or Xue Sha frees up their hands. That will be after Qingfeng disintegrates the threat of Yuzhou Road Bliss Alliance. But Song Junlin is different. Let’s not talk about the combat effectiveness of the White Ear Army.
The Song family's mobile strength of up to 300,000 is enough to cause headaches for any surrounding power. As for where the Yizhou army is going, no one understands it. Even Song Junlin himself doesn't quite understand.
At least now Song Junlin is standing in front of the map, looking at the huge map of the Qingfeng Empire on the wall in a daze. After the expansion of the army, the total strength of Yizhou Road has been expanded to 400,000 people. Under any circumstances, the mobile force that can be mobilized can reach 2
150,000. But whether to go north, south or west, the Song family themselves don’t know.
If we go north, then the target is naturally the Hetao controlled by Haotian. Although Haotian currently occupies three roads in the Hetao, but because the northwest has always been barren and has suffered great chaos, Song Junlin really can't figure out the Hetao with the current economic strength and population size of the Hetao.
How can they support an army of 400,000? Although the Hetao Third Army currently has an army of more than 200,000, their battle line is too long after all, and most of the soldiers are new recruits. It’s just that Bian Zhongxing is really difficult to deal with.
Moreover, Xue Sha and Dugu's 100,000 troops are on South Yunnan Road. If Haotian, a single-minded lunatic, is cornered, God knows what he will do. Let's not talk about others. He knows Dugu Yuming's abilities.
Back then, the Song family used several times its strength to
The siege of Dugu's mountain stronghold resulted in tens of thousands of casualties without being able to capture the stronghold, and finally he had to be surrendered. This man was the most powerful general in the Bai'er Army. If he were to fight against him, even Song Junlin himself would not be able to do so.
grasp.
If we are heading west, we will naturally plot the Qingning Road and the Luoxe Dynasty on the Bloody Plateau. The Yizhou Road lacks horses and the conditions for cavalry to gallop freely. Except for the bottom of the basin in the middle of the Yizhou Road, the rest of the area is filled with rolling hills.
and rugged mountains,
Therefore, the main force of the Song family is infantry. Such a single-arms structure is sufficient for self-protection, but insufficient for offense. If you want to conquer the Central Plains, you must build a strong cavalry. And the Bloody Plateau where war horses are produced is naturally the Song family's
first choice.
However, the Luoche dynasty and the Song family are not bordering each other, and behind Wubi Cangxiong is the Sashan dynasty, a powerful country in the mid-continent that wants to annex the Chinese dynasty. The terrain of the Bloody Plateau is dangerous, if Luoche cannot be captured in a short time, then Sashan will
Shan will definitely respond to the request and send troops. Song Junlin is not afraid of fighting with Sa Shan. Since he wants to win the world
, then they must compete with the surrounding strong opponents one by one. But it is not yet time to fight. What the Song family wants now is to unify Henan as soon as possible, and then rely on Henan's manpower, material and financial resources to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, and finally eradicate it.
There are no neighboring countries, instead of consuming its strength in the battle with the Sashan Dynasty in advance.
The terrain of Qingning Road has always been dangerous. Although the slope at the junction of Yazhou, Weizhou and Yizhou on the east side of Yizhou Road is gentle, it only increases the impact of the Scarlet Plateau Cavalry's condescending impact. And the Scarlet Clan's combat effectiveness is so strong
, even the White Ear Legion, the leader of the Song family, dare not look down upon it. Moreover, the Bloody Plateau has formed an alliance with Hetao, and the two major forces have joined forces. Even if the Song family has been established for a hundred years, they will not dare to challenge it easily.
The best way is to go south. Although Ouyang Jingzhong has nearly 200,000 troops on the north bank of the Xijiang River, in order to deal with the threat of the Jinhua Dynasty and the Mitsukoshi Allied Forces, he has no spare time to take care of others. Although Zhu Zhao on Jiangnan Road has an army of 100,000
, but being able to occupy Jiangnan Road is already Zhu Zhao's limit. Unless reinforcements from the Holy Bliss Sect arrive, he will never have the energy to march westward to the Great Lakes.
If Jiangnan can be captured, although Jiangnan has been plundered by the Holy Sect and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty, and all the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years has been wiped out, the foundation for generating wealth is still there. However, with the 100,000 troops in hand, it seems that
It's a little thinner. Besides, the battle line from Dahu Road to Yizhou to Jiangnan Road seems to be too long. Should we solve the problem of the five ethnic groups in southern Yunnan first and plan for other things?
Thinking of this, Song Junlin's eyebrows immediately wrinkled, and with an oil lamp in his hand, he carefully looked at the mottled map on the wall, thinking silently.
At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly came from outside the camp, followed by deafening shouts of killing. There was a panic in the camp. Song Junlin was startled, and the oil lamp in his hand swayed, and
A lot of lamp oil was also spilled. Then he shouted: "Come here! What is going on outside?"
"Your Majesty, someone attacked the camp, and the brothers were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties." Lieutenant General Song Ping'an opened the curtain and hurried in and said.
Song Junlin's face darkened: "Who took advantage of the leopard's courage? How dare you come to our White-Ear Legion to attack the camp? Have you found out their identities?"
"Not yet, the other party sneaked in in the dark, and there is no moonlight, so there is no way to determine the identity of the other party, but their number is at least tens of thousands." Song Ping'an said with sincere fear.
"Send an order to General Song Wuke to lead his troops to resist on the spot. If anyone retreats without authorization, he will be killed! I will immediately rectify the rear army and then fight with the opponent." Song Junlin said coldly.
At this moment, a loud shout rang out from outside the camp: "Here is the sad song of Bliss Yan, who dares to fight with someone!"
The Holy Sect of Bliss? Yan Lege, the most brave general of Bliss? Isn’t he on the Huai River Road? Why did he come here? Song Junlin’s eyes flashed with doubts.
The unexpected person in the big tent was indeed Yan Lege of the Holy Sect of Paradise, but the person involved in the thousands-mile attack this time was not him, but Zhu Zhao, who was known as the first of the four famous generals of Paradise.
To be called the first of the Four Famous Generals of Bliss, Zhu Zhao naturally has his own merits. He was able to block the joint attack of Zhang Cangxiong and Liu Nanshang outside Jiangzhou, which showed his extraordinary military talent.
And this successful sneak attack spanning thousands of miles showed his keen strategic vision, and he truly deserves the title of a famous general.
Although he is based on Jiangnan Road, Zhu Zhao has never failed to understand and analyze the hostile forces around him. After comprehensively analyzing the situation on the Yuzhou Road battlefield, Zhu Zhao firmly believes that in a short period of time, there will be threats to his defense area.
, only Song Junlin's White-Ear Army is resting on Dahu Road. Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative. As long as the White-Ear Army can be defeated first, then as long as no accidents occur, Jiangnan will be free of worries for the time being.
However, his troops are limited after all. Jiangnan Road is inherently easy to attack and difficult to defend. Although Zhang Cangxiong and Ouyang Jingzhong in the surrounding area have nothing to do with themselves at this time, they are both old foxes who have been on the battlefield for decades. Who knows what is in their hearts?
How did he think about it? The actual number of troops he could mobilize was only about 20,000. There is a saying that soldiers are more valuable than more. After careful analysis, Zhu Zhao decided to reduce the number of troops to
Ten thousand people. In order to increase the attack power of the army, he also specifically asked the leader Cheng Xianqing for instructions and transferred Yan Lege. Then the two men led 10,000 elite troops and went into battle lightly, adopting the method of day and night marching across Jiangnan Road and
On the Dahu Road, they secretly arrived at the station of Song Junlin's army. In order to ensure the secrecy of the army's actions, all the people in the areas they passed along the way were assassinated by the advance team sent by Zhu Zhao.
No one would have thought that Zhu Zhao would take the lead in such a situation and lead 10,000 elite troops to carry out a sneak attack thousands of miles away. On this moonless night, as soon as the soldiers of Paradise, smeared in pitch black, entered the camp, they were immediately attacked.
The sleeping White Ear Legion caused huge damage. Normally, the White Ear Legion would always be proud of their white clothes and armor.
, however, at this time, they had to pay the price for their armor. In such a dark night, the soldiers of the White Ear Legion wearing armor were so eye-catching. The soldiers of the Holy Bliss seemed to blend in.
With the ghost of the dark night, every attack is bound to end a life. Many soldiers of the White Ear Legion were bloodied on the spot under such circumstances.
However, after all, the White-Er Corps is an elite division that has been immersed in the glory of Yizhou Road for hundreds of years. Although they encountered a surprise attack and the situation was unfavorable, they did not think about retreating. Countless soldiers blocked it with their own flesh and blood.
They fought against the soldiers of the Holy Sect of Paradise and bought precious time for their comrades. Although they paid the price of tens of thousands of people, they finally survived. At least when Song Junlin organized the rear soldiers, Song Wuke in front was still there.
Struggling to support.
Standing at the forefront of the team, Song Junlin had an ashen face. The anger in his eyes could even melt steel. He never thought that while he was plotting against others, others were also plotting against him. He also didn't expect that Bliss
The fighting power of the Holy Cult is actually so powerful that even the White Ear Legion seems to be unable to defeat it.
"Light all the butter torches and ask the brothers in front to step back. Let's go up!" Song Junlin said coldly. A big factor in why the Holy Sect of Paradise can cause such huge damage is that they are completely dark, and the enemy is in darkness and we are in the light.
, it is difficult for our side to distinguish the enemy. And as long as the camp is illuminated clearly, the advantage of the Holy Bliss Sect will be lost.
Hearing this, the soldier was about to step forward to deliver the message. Before he could take two steps, a huge iron spear suddenly appeared in the darkness. With just one spear, the soldier's head was smashed to pieces. Only the sound of the spear was heard.
The man shouted loudly: "Where is the king of Song Dynasty in Yizhou? Do you dare to fight Yan?"
With the help of the butter torch behind them, Song Junlin and others could clearly see the appearance of the man in front of them. He was about thirty years old, holding an iron spear about one foot long. His beard and hair were spread out, and he had a pair of bull's eyes.
He stared wide open, with a rough face full of endless pride. He is the only unsmeared Bliss soldier that Song Junlin and others have seen so far. Needless to say, this man is Yan, one of the four famous Bliss generals.
Sad song.
"Song Junlin is here, and the traitor has not yet been crowned!" Song Junlin grabbed his spear and shouted loudly. Being called one of the top ten heroes in China is certainly related to the fact that Song Junlin was born in the palace of Dingxi Prince on Yizhou Road.
But Song Junlin himself should not be underestimated. Although Yan Lege was brave, Song Junlin believed that he was still capable of fighting.
However, when Yan Lege's ninety-pound iron spear was swung over with a sharp whistling sound, Song Junlin realized that he had underestimated this tough man with a blacksmith background. Although his spear was
The speed of the spear was slowed down, but the sweeping attack of the spear was
It was not resolved at all. The spear was rebounded at that time, and then the spear swept across Song Junlin's chest with an overwhelming force. Only a crisp sound was heard, which was the sound of broken ribs. And Song Junlin's breastplate
It also dented quickly, and a mouthful of blood even stained Yan Lege's spear red.
What kind of strength is this? Song Junlin thought with a wry smile. Although he could only mention 70% of his strength in a hurry, and although Yan Lege was ready to go, but he could be seriously injured with just one move, I am afraid that only
This can only be compared with the legendary letter inscription of God stopping the God of Killing in Hetao. At this time, Song Junlin finally understood that personal martial arts and battlefield fighting are completely different things.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood again, Song Junlin, who was desperately rescued by his generals, said a few words with difficulty at this time: "Song Zhengdong was cut off, the entire army retreated, and the camp was burned to stop the enemy."
