Most of the northeastern part of Daxia is covered by the ocean, but in winter it freezes and becomes an ice field. They mobilized Daxia's millions of troops to the northwest, and then crossed the ice field southward for a long distance after winter. As a result, the nine northeastern counties of Daxia were completely unprepared.
, the three barbarians' army was overwhelming and directly occupied nine counties. At this time, the place occupied by the three barbarians was far to the north of Lin Haoming's Wu Kingdom, separated only by the two counties of Donghai and Lelang on the east coast of Daxia Kingdom, which were not even a thousand miles apart.
This result completely shocked the entire Fengyun Continent, and completely tore into pieces the mask that covered Daxia's external strength and internal strength.
His Majesty, the Emperor of Great Xia, was also completely frightened by the fall of the nine northeastern counties this time, and he really fell. Fortunately, during the previous rebellion in Great Xia, the nine princes came from behind, and now there is a clear heir apparent, even if he really dies.
It would not lead to chaos. Of course, even if there is a prince, it is not safe. In the history of Daxia, it is not that there was no prince who did not succeed to the throne in the end, but was beheaded by his brothers.
Of course, His Majesty the Great Xia Kingdom is not yet dead but is feeling unwell, and he can still summon the courtiers, which is at least much better than that of the Chu Kingdom who has been hiding in the harem.
Lin Haoming knew that the Great Xia Kingdom was not completely defeated because of this, but now that the northern border was occupied, it would take a lot of effort to take it back. As for commanding the surrounding princes, it would be even more difficult.
.
At this time, Lin Haoming also returned to the capital of the Yue Kingdom from the Kingdom of Wu for the first time, because the Kingdom of Daxia had begun to formally recruit troops from the princes.
Regarding the recruitment of a large army this time, it was naturally impossible for the Yue Kingdom to give another soldier. After all, the 20,000-strong small army was in Xiaoxia territory, and it was not bad enough to be transferred back. Moreover, there was no sufficient reason for the current confrontation between Chu and Yue.
So before the discussion, Sun Zan went directly to Xiaoxia as an envoy. He was very generous to Xiaoxia's court, and even stated that as long as Chu State was willing to send troops to assist, Chu State would send far fewer troops, and Yue State could not send more troops. Unfortunately, Chu State's current situation
They basically know how to send troops, and the Yue Kingdom does not have 20,000 cavalry. At least from Xiaoxia's point of view, Yu Cong is the most powerful outside the vassal states.
After solving the little prince's troubles, Lin Haoming also returned to the eight counties of Wu State, continued to cultivate and recuperate, and waited for the situation to take a step back to change.
Before the beginning of spring, the young prince finally mobilized part of the imperial army and headed towards the four northeastern counties. However, that time, the Eight Barbarians did not really want to occupy the four northeastern counties. After the young prince's small army arrived, they took advantage of the thaw in the north.
It was too late, so it was urgent to advance from the ice field again, and when summer continued to send troops to the northwest county and continue to harass, it was basically to give Xiaoxia time to settle down.
Under such circumstances, the Central Route Army dared to go deeper and could only go west. However, the West Route Army and Zhao's First Army did not go deeper. In the end, they were busy for nearly eight months. However, the plan was not completed at all, and it also caused the East Route Army to go further.
The road army was slightly defeated, and Xiao Weishan's prestige was completely destroyed.
Before autumn, Xiaoxia had to worry about the Eight Barbarians from the Northeast crossing the ice fields again, so they had to send more troops for defense. With so few troops mobilized for eight or seven consecutive years, even Xiao Weishan was exhausted.
This is indeed true in fact. As the neighboring Middle Route Army, when it learned that Wei Shanzhen was besieged, it immediately sent troops, but was directly attacked by cavalry. What's more terrible is that the Eight Barbarians' small army actually learned to take advantage of the geographical advantage. The East Route Army and the Middle Route Army
There is no Baishui River in between, and it is not a very narrow river in the first place. As a result, the Baman people fenced and built a dam in the lower reaches. When the Central Route Army went to rescue, they directly released the water. This caused the Central Route Army to be directly delayed for at least two days.
Three days' journey away, when reinforcements arrived, only 80,000 remnants of the Eastern Route Army's 800,000 troops were left, led by the deputy commander and fled outside.
That time, Xiao Weishan was full of energy, but Zhao Guo's 70,000 cavalry served as the vanguard and mobilized more than 1.7 million small troops to retreat in seven directions.
When Lin Haoming learned about that incident, I immediately knew that the little prince's loyalty was about to completely collapse.
When such information came, it was already autumn with Cong. At this time, it had not been two years since Lin Haoming occupied the eight counties of Wu State. Wu State had been completely settled after two years. However, at the junction of the south and Chu State, the mountains
They confront each other in the valley between them.
The State of Chu was invaded from all sides by the two countries, but Qu Xiong was not the only one. The entire State of Yue was instantly in a state of crisis of national subjugation. Sure enough, the seven small armies retreated together, but before retreating into the grassland,
Very slowly, the Zhao Guo cavalry seemed to retreat into a manned situation, and it went very smoothly. The small army following in front was not normal, but the other eight routes were exactly the same, usually the East Route Army. Once it was over, it was unstoppable, but a little deeper, suddenly
Being besieged by the Eight Barbarians, the Eight Barbarians' small army apparently spotted Xiao Xia and came out in seven groups, intending to destroy one of them so as to show the young prince's power.
In fact, the battle was basically a small one. A flanking attack from both sides. The Chu army had to get supplies. It would naturally be exhausted in the winter. At that time, there would only be two options: surrender or breakout. And with a flanking attack from the right and left, the chance of breaking through was much greater.
And big.
Of course, before retreating into the Chu State, the hearts of the Chu people were still there. Qu Xiong, the young marshal of the Chu State, immediately came with his army from the west. But as soon as I moved, Chen Bing and Jiang Heng immediately led his army southward. To the west, the Wei State actually
He also took advantage of the situation and sent troops southward again.
On the young prince's side, the suffering caused by the eight barbarians from the northwest is unspeakable. He ordered the princes to help, but the princes were completely perfunctory. At present, they are taking advantage of Xiaoxia's free time to think about it and try to strengthen themselves as much as possible.
But just when the Chu State was also on tight guard against the Yue State, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, suddenly hundreds of small boats landed directly on the east coast of the Chu State. The Yue State spent two years directly building sea-going ships and launching them directly from the sea.
Rao crossed the Dongyi Mountains and extended to the mountainous and hilly areas by the sea, heading towards the hinterland of the Chu Kingdom.
That time, the person who led the small army to retreat into the county in the hinterland of Chu State was Lin Haoming, who had not yet reached the age of power. Ning Lin, and before retreating into Longhai County, Ning Lin acted as a vanguard and personally followed the Eighth Route Army.
Wan Xiaojun went north, and the Wu army attacked the Chu army among several fortresses in the mountains.
There are seven counties north of Hengshui in Chu State, eight of which are bordering Yue State. The poorest one is Pingshan County, which borders Wei State. Pingshan County is also the smallest. Even if four counties are ceded, it is still inferior to Hengshui County.
Any of the eight counties bordering the Yue State to the north of the water are small, and the Wei State is also full of lakes. It is about to swallow up the poorest and smallest county of the Chu State.
Finally, before another year passed, Xiaoxia was ready to directly attack the eight barbarian realms with a small army, and completely use offense as defense.
Under the Chu State, some large ships at sea have not yet discovered Lin Haoming's small army, and have not rushed back to report the news. However, those large ships have just landed, and Lin Haoming and his small army have not yet arrived. Hundreds of thousands of small troops are like divine soldiers descending from the sky.
In ten days, they directly conquered Long Hai County on the coast and made it the county seat.
