Chapter 1060: The Kingdom of the Sun mobilizes troops, Abaoji temporarily withdraws
The autumn harvest season is passing little by little, and winter is coming.
I still remember that last winter, a snowstorm in the North directly led to the battle at Tianlang Pass.
And this winter is also a winter destined to be restless.
Of course, this unrest is actually good news for Wang Yu.
This is not peaceful, that is the restlessness of others, but Wang Yu is happy to watch the show.
Dongyi!
When winter came, Yelu Abaoji finally planned to retreat.
They came in great force, but in the end, they only captured seven or eight cities. This harvest, compared to the effort, can be said to be a massive effort.
The reason why Yelu Abaoji withdrew his troops was not because he could no longer fight.
Even with Meng Tian's 100,000 troops, he was still the one with the advantage in terms of military strength.
However, this winter, something big happened in Dongyi, which forced him to withdraw his troops!
The Kingdom of the Sun, an existence they had never cared about before, actually sent troops.
Yes, they had not cared about the existence of the Kingdom of the Sun before.
After all, the description of the Kingdom of the Sun is only a few words. However, judging from the rumors of those few words, it is not that powerful.
Dongyi only fell into decline later, and it was once glorious.
Emperor Shenwu swept through all the countries, rejecting the Eastern Yi, conquering the Western Rong, conquering the Southern Barbarians, and driving out the Northern Di. At that time, the four barbarians existed side by side with no distinction between superior and inferior. But because they were not distinguished, the four families were qualified to join forces and achieve the same goal.
Lian Zhi made an agreement to jointly fight against the then Shenwu Emperor.
Although they are down and out, their arrogance is still deep in their bones, and they still look down on a small country that exists in just a few words.
Even though the Kingdom of the Sun had created a group of pirates before, and it was obvious at a glance that some of them had the shadow of the regular army, it was still not enough to attract their attention.
It is even more unimaginable that these audacious guys would dare to attack them, and attack them so suddenly.
Therefore, it was precisely because of the addition of such an enemy, and the fact that this enemy showed very ferocious fighting power, that Yelu Abaoji did not want Dongyi to take the risk of a two-front war.
Although they were able to take advantage of Wen Zhong and Meng Tian, they were unable to achieve critical results and could only stalemate here little by little. Considering these factors, after going through the pros and cons, Yelu Abao
The machine can only make such a choice.
Matsushita Ao is the king of the Sun Kingdom who has not been born for thousands of years. Even compared to the people of Apocalypse Continent, he is not inferior in all aspects.
When he feels that the opportunity has come, even if it is a bit hasty, he must seize this hard-won opportunity.
In the previous battle with Guo Ziyi, although the manpower sent to Dongyi and Dacanbei had been basically destroyed, Matsushita Ao already knew what he wanted to know about this area.
This is enough.
In short, both Dongyi and Da Cang are in a rare state of division and weakness today.
If you don't take action at this time, when will you wait?
And when Matsushita Ao chose this target, it was undoubtedly Dongyi.
Without him, it’s just because Dongyi is weaker!
Especially judging from the news he received, Wang Yu, who was just one of the forces in Da Cang, once broke into the capital of Dongyi and forced Yelu Abaoji to fight with all his strength.
The most important thing is that Dongyi is still in a confrontation with Wang Yu.
Therefore, even though Matsushita Ao was still not fully prepared, he still sent out troops.
Yes, he was not completely prepared. It can even be said that the dispatch of troops this time was very hasty.
It will take a long time for the news from Da Cang and Dong Yi to be transmitted back to the Sun Kingdom, and it will take a lot of time for Panasonic Ao to organize such a large-scale battle!
If we really need to prepare carefully, it is absolutely impossible to send out troops this winter. If we give it another half a year, we might be able to barely get enough!
The reason why Matsushita Ao fought so hastily was to seize the opportunity.
After all, it was too difficult to convey news from Sun Kingdom to Dongyi. By the time he was ready, if the war between the two sides was over, or by the time he was halfway through sending troops, the other party had already finished fighting. Then he would be embarrassed.
Already?
Even if preparations are insufficient now, we should send troops as soon as possible to give him a powerful backstab while Dong Yi and Wang Yu are still fighting.
In fact, even before Matsushita Aolian had fully mobilized the troops for this battle, he had already sent his vanguard troops out first. The frontline of the troops really pointed to the Nanping Road, which is closest to the Kingdom of the Sun in Dongyi.
Among the Dongyi, Zhongping Road is the political and economic center, and Beiping Road has a large amount of mineral resources and steep terrain.
As for Nanping Road, it has developed sea salt production as well as developed handicrafts and manufacturing industries. And Nanping Road has the highest level of military industry in Dongyi.
Don't think that the Siyi people don't have any level of military industry.
In fact, taking ancient Blue Star as an example, if you study carefully, you will find that the development level of weapons and equipment of ethnic minorities is no worse than that of the Central Plains Dynasty in some aspects, especially since the Liao Dynasty.
The most typical Xixia, advanced cold forging technology can be used to create a variety of powerful armor weapons. For example, the armor worn by the Xixia cavalry has very strong protective capabilities and can withstand strong crossbows. In addition, the trebuchets used by the Xixia army
Weapons such as Xixia crossbows are also very lethal.
Therefore, on the battlefield in East Asia during the Northern Song Dynasty, Xixia, which was considered a "small country" by the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty, had the equipment level of its elite troops that was completely comparable to the technologically powerful Song army.
For example, in the bloody battle of Pingxia City during the reign of Zhezong of the Song Dynasty, the Xixia army used huge tanks to "confront" the city, and used this ancient version of "tanks" to crazily attack the Song army's city walls.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The divine arm crossbow that the Song Dynasty has always been proud of was actually invented by a Xixia man.
What really restricted them during that period was not the level of military industry. In fact, it was due to various reasons such as resources that they were unable to produce on a large scale like the Song Dynasty.
In fact, the nomadic peoples of Blue Star also attach great importance to the development of weapons and equipment. For example, after the Mongols entered the Central Plains, they obtained sufficient resources, which were large-scale installations of firearms, and the cavalry was equipped with firearms. Compared with the Song Army back then,
It's much more exaggerated.
You can say that Dongyi lacks high-end products such as armor-breaking crossbows and hundred-war god machine crossbows. However, except for some high-end products, it is not necessarily worse than the seven dynasties of the Central Plains.
The developed salt production represents a large amount of gold and silver, and the developed manufacturing and military industry levels can bring the most direct help to the Sun Country. Therefore, this place has naturally become the most important target of Panasonic Ao.
From all aspects, there is almost no more suitable target than this place.
Matsushita Ao was a very courageous monarch. Once he decided to do something, he would do it with all his strength.
Because the troops were dispatched in a hurry, the soldiers and horses from various places had not been fully mobilized, so the vanguard army could only set off first. After they laid down a bridgehead, the soldiers and horses behind could also press forward step by step.
However, although the military strength is not fully in place, the general is not bad at all.
The poisonous dragon, ghost dragon, violent bear, crazy lion, ghost tiger, flaming leopard, demon wolf, and Panasonic's seven beasts are all out.
The Kingdom of the Sun has been encouraging fertility for hundreds of years, but it has a population of more than 20 million. This population base is twice as large as the four small dynasties combined.
Perhaps it is far from being comparable to any of the seven dynasties, but it is also comparable to any combination of two dynasties in the Land of Four Rivers.
Although the Sun Country and the Nine Islands combined are only larger than the three Daocang Dao in terms of area, and cannot exceed four Dao at most, its population is extremely exaggerated, just like the ancient Japanese country of Blue Star.
Not very outstanding, but the population is extremely terrifying.
For example, during the Warring States Period of Blue Star Japan, the total population was about 15 million. At its peak, the population even reached 18 million. It was about one-third of the Blue Star Han Dynasty period, and roughly the same as the population of the Three Kingdoms era.
Many people have been jokingly saying that wars in Japan during the Warring States Period were "fights between villages." This may have been the case in the early Warring States Period, but with the continuous merger of various forces during the Warring States Period, it was no longer the case in the later stages.
In the Battle of Bunroku, Toyotomi Hideyoshi mobilized a total force of about 310,000, which should be the peak mobilization of daimyo during the Warring States Period.
Several major battles during the Warring States Period also had a relatively large number of participants. For example, in the Battle of Odawara Castle, the Uesugi family dispatched 86,000 people, the Battle of Okehazama, where 50,000 people from both sides participated, and the Battle of Noda Castle and Fukushima Castle,
60,000 people from both sides participated in the battle. In the Battle of Tetori River, 70,000 people from both sides participated in the battle. In the Battle of Nagashino, the number of participants from both sides was 120,000. As a result, the Takeda family was defeated. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was dispatched to conquer Kyushu and unify the battle.
200,000 troops.
And with such a large population, the amount of troops Matsushita Ao could use was terrifying.
Although the soldiers and horses from various places have not yet been assembled, this vanguard army has a strength of up to 100,000 troops by sea and land combined.
And each of the Panasonic Seven Beasts: Poisonous Dragon, Ghost Dragon, Violent Bear, Crazy Lion, Ghost Tiger, Flame Leopard, and Demonic Wolf are each one of millions of people. However, this time, they were all sent out in one fell swoop.
, and this is also the first time in history that Panasonic Ao has pulled out all the seven Panasonic beasts.
Not only these people, Kagutsuchi, Shinato Hiko, Oyama Tsumi, these systematic mythological figures also appeared one by one.
Matsushita Ao at that time was able to quickly seize power, and Shintoism was indispensable. In fact, Izanagi, the previous pope of Shinto, the national religion of the Sun Kingdom, was the teacher of Matsushita Ao, the emperor of the Sun Kingdom.
Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Maeda Toshiie, Mori Terumoto, Ukita Hideie, Kobayakawa Takakage, these systematic historical figures also appeared on the stage of history one after another during this battle.
And Dongyi can also be said to be a representative who cares about food but not about fighting.
The naval base on Nanping Road had already been attacked once by Wang Yu back then, but this time it was attacked again by the Kingdom of the Sun.
However, Dongyi's Nanping Dao Navy has been reorganized in the past few years after the devastating battle, but its strength is completely different from what it was back then.
Moreover, in this battle of the Kingdom of the Sun, not only did the most powerful general of the Sun Kingdom's navy, Hu Jing Shenghai, personally dispatched, but they also pulled out the troops of the Kamikaze Battalion.
After Hu Jing Shenghai's sneak attack was successful, chaos broke out in the Dongyi Navy camp, and the main force that had been waiting for a long time came out in one fell swoop.
It can be said that for the sneak attack on the Nanping Road Naval Base, the lineup dispatched by the Sun Kingdom this time was much more luxurious than Wang Yu's back then.
Therefore, after this battle, the Kingdom of the Sun not only obtained a stable bridgehead, but also obtained a large number of warships, which to a certain extent also enhanced the potential for subsequent wars.
After all, the subsequent transportation of the main force and logistical support are inseparable from the support of a large number of warships.
However, what makes Dongyi somewhat fortunate is that Yelu Defei did not use his main force to deal with Xiping Road for whatever reason. Therefore, although the Sun Kingdom fought the initial battle, Yelu Defei was very disappointed.
The main troops and horses were quickly mobilized.
However, Yelv Defei's general Jin Manfu fought in consecutive battles, and each time he defeated the greater number with less, but he also became arrogant because of this, so that he went deep alone and was ambushed by Takeda Shingen. Three of his subordinates at the time
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses.
Even he himself was killed by the poisonous dragon Yagyu Soken, the most powerful general in the Kingdom of the Sun.
Yagyu Soken, he is the undisputed number one warrior of the Kingdom of the Sun. Among the seven beasts of Panasonic, he is the only one. Among these six, the ghost dragon, the violent bear, the mad lion, the ghost tiger, the flaming leopard, and the demon wolf.
Any three of them working together may not be able to defeat him.
In particular, if they were just opponents, these six people might still have the courage. If it were a life and death fight on the battlefield, no one among these six people would want to run into this person.
Even the addition of systematic mythical figures such as Shintoism did not shake his status as the most powerful general in the Kingdom of the Sun.
He takes the title Poison Dragon, the dragon represents his bravery, and the poison represents his martial arts.
Yes, this is another master who is good at poison.
It is precisely because of this that no one of the remaining six people is willing to face him, or even want to deal with him more. They just maintain superficial respect.
It is so helpless to fight against a master who is good at poison, just like Jörmungandr of Xirong. Facing such a master, there is no room for error at all.
