Chapter 786: A fire breaks out in the backyard
January 5 of the fourth year of Gaia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Emperor Chen and the others were hesitating, under Ouyang Shuo's personal instructions, all the unexpected surprises prepared by the [Shanhai Alliance] for the [Yanhuang Alliance] were brought to the table, stirring up the world.
Kyoto District, Mukden-gun, Boulder Castle.
After New Year's Day, the weather in the north is already cold and windy, and it is the time of counting nine cold days, the sky is overcast, and the thick clouds are rolling one by one, and they are depressed as if they are about to collapse.
In the wilderness, the cold wind like a knife blows on the face, making people feel painful.
The wilderness was silent early in the morning, and the mountains and rivers and vegetation that had long since withered and yellowed were covered with a thin layer of white frost, and even the birds would not come out to feed at this time.
The Stubborn Stone City is located in the westernmost part of Fengtian County, and it is Zhangwu County out of the door.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was white, and suddenly there was the rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the silent border area. The horses trampled on the dry grass condensed with hoarfrost and made a "crunch" and "crunch" sound.
"Who dares to break into the territory of Handan City?!"
The soldiers in charge of patrolling the border in Zhangwu County shouted loudly, and they were answered by a rain of arrows.
The whole team of soldiers was shot into hedgehogs in an instant, almost unable to see the human form, and the warm blood spurted out, slowly flowing on the ground, soaking the ground with hoarfrost, which was very eye-catching......
On this day, the 120,000 field troops of the Rock City and the 150,000 mercenaries attacked brazenly, suddenly attacked the territory of Handan City, and ignited the beacon fire in the north.
Jie, who has always been passively defensive, chose to take the initiative this time, and when Emperor Chen fell into the Yunnan battlefield, he was ready to bite a bite of fat on Handan City.
Kyoto District is the largest province in China, with six counties, except for Naoli County, where the royal city of Kyoto is located, Handan Castle has four counties, and Rock Castle has only one county.
There is a world of difference between the two.
Because of its vast territory, the total territorial area of the four counties of Handan City has exceeded that of either the southern Sichuan province or the Lingnan province. In China, Handan City is second only to Shanhai City in terms of territorial area.
It was Zhangwu County, the northernmost part of Handan City, that raised troops to attack this time.
Zhangwu County is sandwiched between Fengtian County and Zhili County, and there is only a narrow strip less than 500 miles wide in the north, which is connected with Cangzhou County, where Handan City is located.
Therefore, if the stubborn stone city once it takes Zhangwu County, it will not only stand in a comparable position with Handan City in terms of strength comparison, but also be able to demarcate and rule with Zhili County as the boundary and Handan City.
It's a very good deal for Boulder.
Di Chen is not a fool, how could he not guard against this. Handan City is on the border of Zhangwu County, and two field corps are fully arranged, just to guard against the stubborn stone city.
Who would have thought that this time he did not hesitate to spend two million gold coins, plus tens of thousands of weapons and armor as compensation, and hired 150,000 mercenaries at one time.
The coal advance payment paid by Shanhai City to Stubborn Stone City was all spent.
270,000 against 140,000.
Zhangwu County, which was originally as stable as Mount Tai, immediately crumbled and had to ask the headquarters for help. The key is that Di Chen and Lian Po are not in Handan City at this time, how can reinforcements arrive so quickly.
Handan City is bound to experience a period of panic.
…………
And that's not all.
Almost at the same time as the army of Stubborn Stone City was dispatched, in Taiyuan Province, the long-planned Luofeng City raised an army of 200,000 and went north, preparing to pull out the nail of Fengxiang City in the north.
Fengxiang City only has a county, if it were not for the Mongolian cavalry trained by the Mongols for Luofeng City, Phoenix Prisoner Phoenix would not need to send 200,000 troops, and 150,000 troops would be able to take Fengxiang City.
And once Fengxiang City is taken, Phoenix Prisoner will unify Taiyuan Province.
In this way, whether it is for Emperor Chen in the east, or for the Killing Army and Drifting Illusion in the west, Luofeng City will be a great threat.
What's even more terrifying is that because of Luofeng City's troops, the army of Handan City Headquarters did not dare to act rashly. Because if they rushed to Zhangwu County to reinforce them, once the army of Luofeng City made a false shot and broke into the neighboring Dingzhou County or Hengshui County in Kyoto District, it would be a disaster for Handan City.
The linkage between the stump and the phoenix and the phoenix suddenly stirred up the already surging northern land, making the situation in the north confusing all of a sudden.
If the two battles are won, it will be great news for the bully and the phoenix.
In addition to the immediate local strategic interests, more importantly, after the war, the entire northern land will form a strategic pattern of Shura City, Fallen Leaf City, Luofeng City, Handan City and Stubborn Stone City, arranged in turn, and intertwined with dogs' teeth.
In this way, it is difficult to say whether the Emperor Chen will join forces to kill the Breaking Army and the Floating Zero Phantom to attack the Phoenix Prisoner, or whether the Phoenix Prisoner will join forces to attack the Emperor Chen.
The unfavorable situation of Luofeng City, which is surrounded by enemies on all sides, will be resolved from this. Faced with Handan City's aggressiveness, the city also has a reliable ally to help each other.
The layout of the [Shanhai Alliance] in the north will achieve a reversal that is not big or small.
The attack of the Pillar and the Phoenix Prisoner can be described as killing two birds with one stone, that is, relieving the siege of Shanhai City, and achieving their respective strategic goals, maximizing the benefits of military operations.
Those who understand it are afraid that they will be amazed by the case.
************
The major media staring at the battlefield in Yunnan were even more shocked.
There is no doubt that this is the strongest wave of countermeasures launched by the [Shanhai Alliance] against the [Yanhuang Alliance] intervening in the war in Yunnan. The deep meaning is even more terrifying.
Previously, Shanhai City was alone in the face of the joint efforts of the members of the [Yanhuang Alliance], with 1 enemy N. And this time the action of the phoenix and the phoenix, if there was no Ouyang Shuo behind the plan, I wouldn't believe it if they were killed.
Behind the joint action of the [Shanhai Alliance], it shows that the [Yanhuang Alliance] did cause great trouble to Shanhai City on the battlefield in Yunnan, forcing Ouyang Shuo to ask for the assistance of his allies.
On the other hand, it also reflects a subtle change within the [Shanhai Alliance].
Ouyang Shuo, who has already won the two major provinces and is about to win the three major provinces, has obviously focused on the national layout, is ready to use the world as a chess game, and begins to face the [Yanhuang League].
This information made a group of players who watched the excitement excited.
The two giants in China are really about to start colliding, and it is not known who will kill the deer.
Thinking about it carefully, the military critics who were already biased towards Shanhai City couldn't help but be impressed by the overall layout of Shanhai City. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the actions of Stubborn Stone City and Luofeng City are by no means improvised, but have been decided long before the Battle of Yunnan began.
Otherwise, the two sides would not have cooperated so closely and the timing was so precise.
It is difficult for Shanhai City to resist not using these two hole cards in the unfavorable situation of the defeat of Yongren City, but waited until the most critical moment of the Yunnan War to sacrifice a killing move.
The old experts all felt frightened and deeply in awe of Ouyang Shuo's forbearance of this young man. Whether it is fear or awe, it finally converges into one sentence:
"With courage, foresight, city, and mind, the lord of mountains and seas has the aura of the overlord of the world."
…………
In fact, the media's prediction of Shanhai City is still low.
Since the [Shanhai Alliance] has made a move, it is more than that.
Just as the war was raging in the north, the south was also moving. This time, it was not the siege lion and the dragon point cave two [Shanhai Alliance] allies who cooperated with the battle of Yunnan, but the Nanyang Naval Division of Shanhai City.
Same day, same moment.
The Jiaozhou Fleet and the Yashan Fleet, which were blinded by the Nanyang Naval Division, cooperated with the two infantry divisions of the Third Army of the Huben Army stationed in Chaozhou County, Lingnan Province, and brazenly launched an attack on Yizhou Island.
The focus of the attack was the Penghu Fleet stationed on Yizhou Island in Overlord City.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Penghu fleet that the coal trade between Shanhai City and Stubborn Stone City and Western Chu was affected, and although an agreement was signed, it was impossible to transport coal on a large scale.
Ouyang Shuo had long wanted to get rid of it, and after being proposed by Zheng He, the governor of the water division, he endured it until now.
During the Battle of Chibi, Xiongba mobilized the Penghu Fleet, intending to prove to the lords of the world on the battle map that the Overlord City Naval Division could fight with the Shanhai City Fleet in order to gain sea dominance.
I don't want to lose before I go head-to-head.
Not to mention the loss of troops, a large number of warships were also abandoned on the campaign map.
This was a huge loss for the Penghu fleet. For this reason, Xiongba did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, and finally at the end of the third year of Gaia, the establishment of the Penghu fleet was restored.
Even so, that defeat was a huge blow to the Penghu fleet.
The Penghu fleet has no actual combat experience, at most it is fighting pirates in the coastal waters, and has never had experience in fighting regular fleets.
In addition, the fleet lacked sailor generals and experienced senior sailors, and the entire training was not systematic.
There is no comparison with the Nanyang Naval Division.
In desperation, Xiongba had to use his family connections to invite a retired senior officer of the federal navy to replace the aboriginal generals and take charge of the Penghu fleet.
It's just that ancient warships and naval combat tactics are the same as modern tactics. Backward seafaring technology has become a shackle for naval officers.
Between the two, there is still a lot of running-in.
The problem is that Ouyang Shuo is not prepared to give Xiongba time at all.
The three major fleets in the Yizhou Strait met unexpectedly, and as soon as Pu came into contact, the Penghu fleet suffered a major defeat.
Shi Lang, the commander of the Jiaozhou Fleet and Yu Dayou, the commander of the Yashan Fleet, can be regarded as the best of the Chinese naval generals, and their actual combat experience is needless to say.
The Yashan Fleet participated in several major battles against the Annam Naval Division, from the commander-in-chief of the Naval Division to the ordinary sailors, all of whom accumulated rich combat experience.
At the same time, under the leadership of Shi Lang and Yu Dayou, the two fleets are well-trained and cooperate tacitly.
All this is simply a street off the Penghu fleet.
With the help of the improved P1 artillery and the surprise tactics, how can the rookie Penghu fleet be an opponent if they join forces, and with the advantage of the improved P1 artillery, how can the rookie Penghu fleet be an opponent?!
Yizhou Island, which was finally taken by the hegemon, is in danger.
