Chapter 624: His Enemy, My Hero (II)
The Ouluo Kingdom originally had a population of nearly 800,000, and after joining the 200,000 ethnic groups in Lingnan, it broke through to one million, and Gaotong didn't know very well whether the 90,000 annihilated people were armed with the population of various ethnic groups in Lingnan......
You must hurry up to see the king of the Han Kingdom, as long as you can see the king of the Han Kingdom, Gaotong always has a way to save the Ouluo Kingdom.
The recent movements of the Han State have been frequent, and troops from all walks of life often come to Nanling and then stationed in the barracks outside the city, and the people sent by Gaotong detected that the Han army was changing clothes.
Change? It was the garrisons of each theater who returned to Nanling and replaced the original bronze weapons with iron weapons.
In addition, the Han army seems to be reorganizing the army, and there are constantly troops coming to Nanling, and there are also troops moving everywhere, Gaotong has detected that there are at least 40,000 Han troops moving in the direction of Lingnan, and he knows that the 40,000 Han army must be related to the invasion of Ouluo.
What should be the total number of Han troops? The military camps outside Nanling City have nearly 300,000 soldiers for a long time, and even 500,000 at the most.
According to the information obtained by Gaotong, the Han State had a defense army in the north, and the number of the corps was not a secret, with an establishment of 50,000 people, which was used by the Han State to guard the northern front. To be honest, he didn't understand why the Han State only used 50,000 troops to defend the Qin, Qi, Yan, and Zhao States in the north, which of these countries was not a first-class power, and how could the Han State have so much courage?
In addition to the defense corps in the north, the Han State also had the Southern Expeditionary Corps and the very large national defense army, and the garrison army of Nanling.
The establishment of the Wehrmacht is really too huge, Gaotong heard that the Wehrmacht is 20 corps, and one corps is 50,000 people, which is an army of 1 million!
Of course, these people in Ouluo can find out some information, but the integrity and authenticity of the information are to be discussed, but Gaotong is believing it with the mentality of believing it rather than believing it.
In fact, it doesn't matter how many troops the Han State has. Even if only half of the intelligence is detected, it is definitely not something that the Ouluo country can resist, and the weak country needs diplomatic relations more than the strong country, and whether or not the existence of the Ouluo country can be guaranteed depends on their envoy group to Nanling.
After a lot of hard work, Gaotong finally caught Yan Bi's line, and after sending many valuable gifts, Yan Bi promised that Gao Tong would find a way for the Han King to meet.
It is obviously not clear who Yan Bi is Gao Tong, and even Gao Tong was unable to get acquainted with the magnates of the Han Kingdom, and only after many inquiries did he know that Yan Bi was such a person, and he only took the line under a very "accidental" situation.
There is no doubt that Yan Bi's coming to contact the envoys of the Ou Kingdom must have been arranged by Lu Zhe, and that was because the war in the south had made waves again.
After Luo Shao led the army to capture Liangshan. Before we had time to set up camp, there was a sudden change in the weather. In fact, it is not right to say that it is a mutation, after all, there is a typhoon season in the South Asian market, and the Han army encountered the coming of a typhoon when it wanted to build a camp in Liangshan. And it seems that the landing direction of the typhoon is aimed at them, and it is obviously impossible to build a camp in the stormy weather, at this time, some troops of the Ouluo country are risking death to continue attacking, and as a result, the Han army that invaded the Ouluo country is under the double blow of the weather and the enemy, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Luo Shao can only retreat tactically.
When the Han army that invaded Ouluo Kingdom withdrew to the area where the typhoon was slightly weaker, Luo shook his head and felt like crying without tears, and the 60,000 Han army lost more than 7,000 people during the battle with the Ouluo army. Under the double attack of "natural disasters" and "man-made disasters", there were less than 10,000 soldiers left waiting to settle down.
Luo Shao knew very well that the number of soldiers who really died would not be too many, and most of the army was actually scattered under that kind of ghost weather, and the fact that troops returned to the formation one after another also showed this. But after such a blow, the early results were "picked" back by the Ou Yu Kingdom. After the end of the typhoon season, the land was a long rainy season, and Luo Shao wanted to lead the army to launch a new round of invasion, not only to wait for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements, but also to wait for the end of the rainy season. That is to wait until next summer.
In general, a typhoon swept away two years of preparation by Luo Shao's department, and the fronts of both sides returned to the positions they had before the invasion. δΈqiΔ...... It's all in vain!
This is not the end, one after another troops have returned to the establishment, Luo Shao's available manpower gradually recovered to nearly 25,000 people, until six consecutive days without soldiers returned, then those who did not return are estimated to not be able to return.
Kaimingpan sent an envoy to inform Luo Shao that it was the Ou Kingdom that had captured more than 3,000 Han soldiers, and solemnly stated that it would take proper care of those captured Han soldiers.
How could Luo Shao not hear that Kaimingpan was threatening? He knew that if his side made any more attacks, the more than 3,000 soldiers captured would be tortured and killed by the people of Ou Yu Kingdom.
It is difficult for people who have not experienced the landfall of a typhoon to imagine what it will be like, Luo Shao and they must have encountered a super typhoon, the wind force will not be lower than 14, and the rainfall will be terrifying.
Wind strength above level 14 is definitely not a joke when people are blown up by the wind, and trees will be uprooted wherever they pass.
That scene was a nightmare for the Han army, there were constantly flying trees smashed everywhere, once they were smashed by the flying trees, it was the end of vomiting blood, not to mention that they saw a lot of robes being swept by the wind and flew out, so for a moment they wondered if they had come to hell.
Too many Han soldiers were almost frightened after such an encounter, and it was precisely because they were too frightened that they would run around, and then they were attacked by the army of the Ou Kingdom like that, and it was not so incredible to be scattered.
Before the typhoon came, Luo Shao still had more than 50,000 troops in his hands, waiting for the typhoon to pass half of the soldiers in his hands were missing, and more than 3,000 soldiers were captured by the Ou Yu country.
Nearly 20,000 soldiers, a typhoon "wiped out" so many soldiers, it can be said that the Southern Expeditionary Legion's invasion of the front army is a blood mold, a force that can definitely go home in South Asia to destroy the country has lost half of it, and the other half is even more frightened, and it is estimated that they dare not set foot on that land again.
Lu Zhe is not a psychiatrist, but he can imagine the psychological activities of those soldiers after receiving the report from Luo Shao, so the invading front army is completely expensive in the south, and can only be transferred back for rest.
Fortunately, Lu Zhe had ordered the troops stationed in Lingnan to be deployed by Wuliang before this, and organized 100,000 troops to march to the Ouluo Kingdom. However, the previous plan had to be revised, and the 100,000 men had to be specially selected to form a new invasion force to be responsible for the battle, and the rest was to build roads and garrison as second-line troops.
After some of the new troops led by Wu Liang arrived at Luo Shao's location, more than 20,000 soldiers who had survived the typhoon were already moving towards Lingnan. The new invading front had nearly a year to adapt to the local climate and environment, and there was plenty of time to prepare supplies, but Luo Shao estimated that it also had a psychological shadow, and repeatedly wrote reports to raise concerns about "natural disasters".
It is also said that a good invasion with advantages, as long as the camp near Liangshan is completed, the next year should be all the way to destroy the Ou country, but a typhoon directly caused the original invading front army to form a "total annihilation" without death, which is simply ...... It's so fucking horrible.
Lu Zhe didn't know what kind of person Kaimingpan, the king of Ouyu Kingdom, was, and he was delaying according to the choice he would make.
If Lu Zhe was the king of the Ou Kingdom, he would definitely not watch the Han army recover and constantly transfer new troops from other places to form an invasion force, and he was also preparing a new batch of materials needed for the invasion. He would make a proper counteroffensive and launch a decisive battle when the Han army did not adapt. Of course, it seems that the Ou Kingdom does not dare to carry out a decisive battle of the nature of a battle anymore, so frequent raids and sneak attacks are also very useful, at least it will not let the Han army live in peace.
At the moment when the invasion front army was paralyzed, it was necessary for Lu Zhe, as the king, to buy time for Luo Shao, whether it was to confuse the Ou Kingdom from the aspect of diplomatic relations, or from any aspect, he had to create as many opportunities as possible so that Luo Shao could organize a new invasion side.
Of course, Gao Tong didn't know what happened to the Han army, he only knew that Yan Bi's strength was very great, and it really gave him the ability to enter the palace of the Han king.
"I am a retainer of the king, so naturally I have the ability to do this," Yan Bi's face was full of greed: "Now that I have led my foot into the royal city, the wealth you promised ......"
"I'm sure I'll give it all!" Gao Tong said categorically, and then asked hesitantly: "Then you can really make the king of your country stop the invasion of the Ou Kingdom of Ou Luo?" β
"No, no, no, I only promised you to meet the king, and I didn't say that I could influence whether the war would stop or not." Yan Bi said and raised his hand to a garden not far away, "Someone will search you before you go in," after a pause, "The Lord will come for a walk every afternoon, and you must not approach without being summoned at that time, otherwise you will be careful of being shot by crossbow arrows." β
Gao Tong suppressed the confusion in his heart and nodded. In fact, he had already realized that something was wrong with this matter, but he didn't have enough information to reason. When he saw that Yan Bi was leaving, he said tentatively: "The retainers and the head of the family are the coexistence of honor and disgrace, I am not absolutely you can do things that harm the object of your allegiance, so what happened to your country's army in the south that forced the king of your country to decide to see me?" β
Yan Bi laughed a few times and didn't answer positively, he tilted his head: "You'll know when the time comes." β
Gao Tong bowed: "Indeed, but I promise that your wealth will still be given in full." (To be continued......)
