Chapter 531: The battle situation has been decided
The people of the Qinglong Society, from food to treasury, to weapons, were obviously preparing for an army to cause rebellion.
According to the recent actions of the Qinglong Society, the location of the rebellion must be in the four southeastern states, and the people who raised the army are the survivors of Baiyue.
Yangzhou, Yuezhou, Minzhou, and Lingnan all have Baiyue survivors.
Yang Qingyuan first ruled out the possibility of Yangzhou.
Although the defensive strength of Yangzhou is not as good as that of Yuezhou now, the Baiyue tribe in Yangzhou is also the smallest among the four states. There are only a small number of Baiyue tribe in the south of Yangzhou, which is different from the stubbornness of Yuezhou and the two states to the south.
Different from the Baiyue people, the Baiyue people in Yangzhou have gradually integrated into the Zhou Dynasty.
They exchanged goods and services with the people of the Zhou Dynasty, conducted trade, and compiled lists and kept them in the local government. Although they were not citizens of the Zhou Dynasty in name, they were in fact no different from ordinary people.
It is certainly unrealistic for the Qinglong Society to expect this group of people to rebel.
Next is Yuezhou. Yuezhou is the main location of the Qinglong Society's operations and the most powerful state. Therefore, their actions attracted the imperial envoys headed by Yang Qingyuan, the troops originally stationed in the bank, the imperial guards, and the Qiantang water.
division.
Yuezhou's military strength should be the richest among the remaining three states.
Moreover, Yang Qingyuan was the deposed envoy of Yuezhou and had arbitrary power in Yuezhou. If Yang Qingyuan was a member of the Qinglong Society, he would not choose to cause chaos in Yuezhou.
Moreover, after Yang Qingyuan received the news that the Qinglong Society failed to deal with the Guyue tribe, he asked the Guyue tribe to warn other Yue tribes.
Although Tianze is the crown prince of the late King of Baiyue, the Guyue clan is the real sect of Baiyue and is highly respected.
If troops were to be raised in Yuezhou, Tianze and others would still have to face a problem: how to avoid the influence of the Ancient Yue people?
Judging from the feedback from the Guyue people, there are no Baiyue people in Yuezhou who have joined forces to cause rebellion.
Therefore, the Qinglong Society’s goal will not be Yuezhou.
The rest are Lingnan and Minzhou.
Lingnan is the farthest place from the imperial center, with weak defenses and miasma. If you just want to fight and separatist forces, then this is undoubtedly the best place.
But what if the Qinglong Society takes over Lingnan?!
With the biological power of the people in Lingnan, it is impossible to support an army strong enough to conquer the world.
Moreover, Lingnan is adjacent to Jiaozhou, where the main force of the Shenwu Army is stationed. This force resists the barbarians of Tianzhu Kingdom and Shiwandashan on the southwest border.
The knife does not return to its sheath when eating, and the armor does not take off the body when sleeping.
His fighting power is so strong that he is known all over the world.
If the Qinglong Society causes trouble in Lingnan, the Shenwu Army will not have to travel long distances. They can go straight to Lingnan from Jiaozhou via the imperial court.
Moreover, the Qinglong Society was causing trouble in Yuezhou just to use the eight million taels of silver as military pay.
If we raise troops in Lingnan, these silver taels will have to pass through Yuezhou, Minzhou and then be transported to Lingnan. Doesn’t this make the rebellion more difficult?!
It's originally a hell-level difficulty copy, and you increase the difficulty level.
Gong Ziyu just wants to restore his country, and does not want to challenge the limit.
Then the remaining choice is Minzhou.
Although the population of Minzhou is not as good as that of Yuezhou and Yangzhou, and it is not as wealthy as the two states, but Minzhou is a major maritime trade state, and Licheng Port is the largest port in the Zhou Dynasty. Minzhou's material resources are enough to support an elite army.
Secondly, Minzhou is mountainous and there are many Baiyue tribes. These people will be an important source of soldiers for the Qinglonghui bandits in the future. At the same time, the mountainous terrain also provides favorable defense conditions for the Qinglonghui bandits to resist the encirclement and suppression by the imperial army.
Moreover, there is a river connecting Minzhou and Yuezhou, and 8 million taels of silver can be sent to Minzhou along the river.
Taking a series of factors into account, Yang Qingyuan believes that Minzhou is the real place where the Qinglong Society started.
After coming to this conclusion, Yang Qingyuan immediately began to think about the arrangement and at the same time counted the available troops and horses.
Due to the intense fighting in Youzhou, the Shenwu Army from Yuezhou and Yangzhou moved northward. At this time, the defensive forces in Yuezhou were already stretched thin.
Yang Qingyuan immediately thought of an army that was idle for investigation.
These three thousand men and horses are the elite of the Shenwu Army, with powerful combat power. Their leader, Cheng Lixue, the commander of the Shenwu Army, is a powerful general in the southern border.
It's just that because of the theft of salary, everyone from Cheng Lixue to the following was guilty. Although the matter has been found out, several people are still burdened with the crime of dereliction of duty.
So Yang Qingyuan used his discretionary power to absolve them of the crime of dereliction of duty, and ordered Cheng Lixue's 3,000 troops and the 2,000 troops drawn from the Shenwu Army guarding the coast, a total of 5,000 troops, to march along the western border of Yuezhou.
, detoured to the territory of Minzhou.
Jianyang County was captured last night, Yang Qingyuan also received the information, Baiyue went down the waterway to raid Jianjin.
Yang Qingyuan immediately prepared a large amount of tung oil, and then led Cheng Lixue to attack Jianjin County with all his strength.
However, Yang Qingyuan still miscalculated the speed of the bamboo raft march. The Baiyue Allied Forces had rich experience in rafting bamboo streams all year round, and they actually arrived at Jianjin half an hour before Yang Qingyuan.
When Yang Qingyuan led his army to Jianjin, the raid by Guihou's troops had already begun.
However, Yang Qingyuan's troops did not join the battlefield immediately after arriving. Instead, they had people pour the tung oil that had been prepared into the water, and then led the army to fight out after covering the water with the tung oil.
On the east side of the Jianjin Camp, there are Zhou army soldiers and horses on the north side, and on the west and south sides are rivers. Originally, Guihou left a way out for himself. Even if the attack failed, the Baiyue Allied Forces could still escape from the Jin River.
Retreat calmly.
But Yang Qingyuan's strange move completely cut off the retreat of the Baiyue Allied Forces.
Although the Baiyue Allied Forces had a numerical advantage, they fell into the siege of the Zhou Army.
In the battle just now, the Baiyue clan lost more than 3,000 people, and Jianjin's city defense army lost more than 1,200 people.
The current strength ratio between the two sides is approximately two to one.
But fighting is never about outnumbering one person, otherwise it would be over just counting heads before the battle?! Why fight?
Cheng Lixue's troops, who had just arrived, were well-equipped and had extraordinary combat power. Even these 5,000 men were enough to defeat the 20,000-hundred-Vietnam allied army head-on, not to mention some of the city defense troops and preparation troops.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the current situation, Gui Hou does not intend to give up.
When the Baiyue people surrounded and killed wild boars in the mountains, they would never cut off all their ways of survival. This would only make the wild boars' resistance extremely fierce. They must leave a way for them to survive, and then capture the slower wild boars among them.
It continuously consumes the wild boar's physical strength during movement, and then captures all the prey in one fell swoop.
Guihou was also considered to have considerable military talent. From hunting, he realized the principle of surrounding three and missing one in the art of war.
"My sons, these Zhou people are here again. Ten years ago, it was the Zhou people who destroyed our country and killed the king. Now they want to set fire to us! Even if we die today, we will tear them off.
I, Guihou, am here to live and die with you, and I will die in front of you!..."
As Gui Hou boosted morale, the Baiyue Allied Forces, which had been a little confused due to the changes in the war situation, once again boosted their morale.
There is a saying in the Art of War: "When you return to the army, do not contain it; if you surround the army, you must block it; if you are poor, do not force it."
Once the enemy is in dire straits, they will unleash astonishing combat effectiveness in a deadly battle, and even annihilating the enemy will cause huge losses to themselves.
With the "assistance" of Yang Qingyuan, Guihou felt that he might be able to fight against the odds and fight against the odds, and fight a wonderful headwind!
Although Yang Qingyuan was not a veteran on the battlefield, he had read the art of war thoroughly and commanded two beautiful battles in the northern border.
Without using Tao Tong to survey the battlefield situation, Yang Qingyuan should belong to the standard war planner, so how could he make such a low-level mistake?
Those who are strategic are those who defend the country with integrity, use troops with surprise, plan first and then fight, take into account the situation, include yin and yang, and use skills.
Military planners pay the most attention to strategizing before the war, deducing the battle situation, and preparing plans for various emergencies after completing the battle plan.
The situation between the enemy and ourselves, the geographical environment of mountains and rivers, and the psychology of the opponent's generals are all things that military planners will consider before a war.
Using Jinshui and the strategic location of the camp to push the Baiyue Allied Forces into a dead end, how could they not be prepared for a dying counterattack by the Baiyue Allied Forces?!
"Brothers of the Baiyue tribe! The imperial court has never had any ill will towards you. You have been in the mountains and forests for many years and the imperial court has never attacked you. The imperial court has never stopped you from exchanging goods and salt when you went out to the mountains. Both parties are in peace."
"But there are always ambitious people who want to stir up trouble and make you die in vain! Then exchange your lives for their ambitions!"
"..."
There is no doubt about Yang Qingyuan's eloquence. Of course, the key is that what he said is indeed the truth. With the blessing of his mellow true energy, it can be clearly transmitted to the ears of every Baiyue Alliance soldier even on the battlefield.
The clear voice, combined with the Dao Sect's true energy, made the soldiers of the Baiyue Alliance calm down from their high morale and boiling blood.
This rebellion, destined to be wiped out, has no meaning to ordinary Baiyue people.
Even if they win, the people of Baiyue may not be able to adapt to life outside the mountains. For thousands of years, they are still accustomed to making a living in the mountains.
No one has ever thought about what this rebellion brought to the Baiyue people?
At this moment, under Yang Qingyuan's inducing words, the soldiers of the Baiyue Alliance began to consider this issue.
Because of the Qinglong Society, after conquering Jianyang County, ordinary Baiyue soldiers did not even have the opportunity to plunder. They only received part of the silver and salt. Although they made a profit, these items were at the risk of beheading.
owned.
Whether it's worth it or not naturally depends on people's minds.
Yang Qingyuan's clear voice was like the devilish sound of hell in Guihou's ears, bewitching his soldiers.
"My sons, we Yue people are descendants of the ancient holy emperors and sons of the mountains and forests. How can we surrender to the Zhou people?!"
"shut up!!"
Just as Gui Hou continued to talk to boost morale, an old woman slowly stood in front of the formation and scolded.
Gui Hou knew this person, but none of the soldiers present knew him. However, no one in the Baiyue clan did not recognize the ancient weapon in the hands of this old woman.
"That's the law of heaven and earth!?"
Seeing what the old woman was holding, all the Baiyue soldiers looked at each other.
It was a relic left by the ancient Emperor, the ancestor of the ancient Yue people.
It is recorded in ancient books that at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, when heaven and earth were first established, there was a god named Emperor of Heaven, King Mu De, who began to rule the world in the Yin year.
The old woman is the high priest of the Guyue tribe, and what she holds in her hand is the sacred object made by the ancient emperor's family - the Fa Tian Xiang Di Yi.
"Preface to the Spring and Autumn Ming Calendar" says: "The sky and the earth are opened up, and all things are muddy and ignorant. Based on Yin and Yang, the celestial bodies begin in the wilderness of the North Pole... The sun and the moon rotate around the five latitudes; the emperor comes out... The image of the sky is fixed, and the earth is dharma.
According to the ritual, the stems and branches are used to determine the sun and the moon."
The emperor saw the changing of the four seasons and observed the changes of all things and created the calendar of heavenly stems and earthly branches.
The emperor began to name the stems and branches to determine the age of the year.
Ten Heavenly Stems said: Yan Feng, Zhan Meng, Rou Zhao, Qiang Yu, Zhu Yong, Tu Wei, Shang Zhang, Chong Guang, Xuan (Hei Ge), Zhao Yang;
The twelve earthly branches are: She Tige, Dan Huan, Zhi Xu, Da Huang Luo, Dun Pang, Xie Xie, Hu Tan, Zuo Og, Jiao Mao, Dazhou Xian, Dilemma, Chi Fenruo.
Numbers were also created: zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, twenty, thirty, eighty, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand.
The Emperor's clan is the supreme god in the hearts of all tribes in Baiyue, just like Yanhuang's status in the hearts of Zhou Dynasty.
"I, the contemporary high priest of the Guyue tribe! Shut up, you traitor who is deceiving the public with your monstrous words!"
The more than 20,000 Baiyue soldiers present did not doubt the old woman's identity at all.
No one has the ability to imitate that celestial, celestial and earthly instrument. It comprehends the heaven and earth and records the time, day, month, season and year in this dharma, celestial, celestial and earthly instrument. It goes round and round, sixty-one reincarnations, exactly. It is equivalent to the ancient Vietnamese version of an atomic clock.
.
At that time, the master craftsmen of the Mohist family also wanted to imitate the celestial and earth rituals, but they all ended in failure. As a sacred object of the Guyue people, this is unique.
"We, the Baiyue tribe, have been born in the mountains since ancient times, grew up in the mountains, died in the mountains, and were buried in the mountains. You must not be used by ambitious people..."
All the Baiyue soldiers listened quietly to the old woman's words.
When Guihou saw the high priest appear, he knew that he could no longer resist.
The high priest is on the opposite side, just like during the Battle of Jerusalem, and the pope suddenly appeared in the opponent's camp. What else to fight at this time?! Fight with the head?!
"I swear in the name of the high priest of the Guyue tribe that as long as you lay down your weapons, Zhou Ting's sins against ordinary Baiyue soldiers will be forgotten!"
Ordinary Baiyue soldiers listened to the old woman's words and looked at each other.
"Boom!"
As the first Wu hook was thrown on the ground, more and more Wu hooks were thrown on the ground.
The Baiyue Allied Army is a combined army of various Baiyue tribes, not Guihou's clan army. It is an army assembled by Guihou based on his own reputation for bravery, the prestige of Tianze's crown prince, and the many years of management of the Qinglong Society.
But this army fell apart before the ancient Yue people's holy objects.
When the high priest stood in front of the Zhou army's formation holding the celestial and earth rituals, Guihou had already lost his rightful status.
"Young men..."
Gui Hou was about to speak, but a figure came from the Zhou army camp to Gui Hou, and the distance of fifty feet was reached almost instantly.
Following the figure was a sword light, and as the sword passed by, Guihou's voice suddenly stopped, and at the same time, a shrill scream sounded.
"ah!"
The meridians on Guihou's legs were severed by Yang Qingyuan's sword energy!
Although this thief still needs to be spared and punished, he cannot be allowed to continue to deceive people at this time.
Then Yang Qingyuan used a weak point on his fingertips to seal Guihou's acupuncture point.
