"Online Games: Lords of All ()" Find the latest chapter!
In Fukuoka Castle, the Xia Army, which had finished resting, under Bai Qi's order, began to march towards Iwaya Castle where Japanese troops gathered, kicking off the Kyushu Great War!
In the Battle of Yuan Kou's fortress, the Xia army took the initiative to attack, and in the battle of Iwaya Castle, the Xia army, which was originally the attacker, was inferior in strength. Oda Nobunaga began to counterattack, and launched the battle of Fukuoka Castle.
When Fukuoka Castle's teleportation array was activated and reinforcements arrived, the Xia army reorganized their offensive.
As long as the Japanese army in Iwaya Castle is defeated and Kyushu Island is occupied, it will be a matter of course.
Bai Qi officially revealed his identity as the general marshal of the East Route Army, which frightened the Japanese troops in Iwaya City.
Rentu Baiqi was sent by Emperor Xia to conquer the four islands of Japan instead of participating in the Eastern Expedition!
Bai Qi's identity has frightened many Japanese players.
This was the Battle of Changping, where 400,000 Zhao soldiers were killed!
Thousands of Natsu's dragon flags set out from Fukuoka Castle, divided into three groups, occupied almost the entire Hakata Bay, and launched an encirclement against the Japanese troops in Iwaya Castle!
This time, Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Le Yi, three real god generals, serve as the commanders of the three armies respectively!
Zhou Yu and Lu Xun were still inferior to the three in land warfare.
Countless elite troops left Fukuoka Castle!
Crown Prince Chu Wu still stubbornly insisted on fighting on the east road.
Oda Nobunaga and other daimyo all knew that the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty was on the east road. However, the east road had repeatedly caused the Japanese daimyo to suffer losses.
Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Le Yi attacked in three groups and cooperated with each other. If Oda Nobunaga concentrated his forces to attack the east road, then the middle and west roads would be driven straight into the Xia Army, and Iwaya City would also be lost.
On Xia Jun's side, Bai Qiju's middle road, Yue Fei's east road, and Leyi's west road marched southward, pointing directly at Iwaya City.
Chu Wu was only nominally the top commander of the Xia Army. In fact, Bai Qi took charge of the overall situation. The specific operations depended on the performance of Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Le Yi.
The further south you go, the more compact the terrain becomes. The three armies will converge at Iwaya City and use Bai Qi's siege ability to pull out Iwaya City.
There is nothing unexpected about this kind of deployment, but it also means that there are not many flaws.
Oda Nobunaga must withstand three groups of troops heading south.
Among Yue Fei's Eastern Route Army, Chu Wu received the East Palace Guards supplemented by Qixue Army, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Savalan Heavy Cavalry, Heiyun Long Sword Army, Tachibana Hayashi Girl, Zhuge Company Crossbow Soldiers, and Guan Ning Cavalry. Already extremely powerful, the Tonomiya Guards no longer lacked elite soldiers during the Battle of Iwaya Castle and the Battle of Fukuoka Castle.
Although Chu Wu's troops belong to the East Palace Guards in terms of organization, their actual combat strength is no less than that of any legion.
Yue Fei had 8,000 troops carrying Wei, and Zhang Xian and Niu Gao each led more than 10,000 troops from the Yue family.
In addition, the Huainan Army also has Tian Ji's elite "Qi Martial Arts".
Lu Su and Wen Yang were also among the troops.
The Huainan Army invested 150,000 troops in the Kyushu Great War!
Chu Wu's legion still had 50,000 men, and together with Yue Fei's legion, the total number was 200,000. However, the actual combat strength of these 200,000 men was very terrifying, because the proportion of elite troops was very high, more than one-fifth. The troops are high-level troops, which is higher than one-tenth of the Japanese daimyo's high-level troops.
In addition, the Tachibana family recruited 10,000 ashigaru on the spot in Fukuoka Castle as cannon fodder to join the East Route Army.
The Central Route Army was personally commanded by Bai Qi, and its main force was the Fubo Army. Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Lu Meng, Chen Lin, Gan Ning, and Zheng Zhilong were all on this route, with a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses mobilized.
With Bai Qi as the main general, Fubo's army can also get a high attack bonus after landing.
The West Route Army was commanded by Le Yi, and its main forces were the Liaodong Army and the Goryeo Army. Zhu Neng, Geng Yan, Li Chenggui, and Jiang Handan were all serving under Le Yi at this time.
The Liaodong Army employed 150,000 troops, and during the construction of Fukuoka Castle, the Koryo Empire transported 150,000 troops to Hakata Bay, allowing Li Chenggui's Koryo Army to replenish its heavy losses. Therefore, Li Chenggui's Koryo Army had a strength of 200,000. .
East Route Army, totaling 350,000!
Three groups of soldiers and horses,
A total of 860,000, and it is said to be 3 million!
Naturally, the more bragging about the troops and horses that are known to the outside world, the better, so that the other party cannot tell the truth from the truth.
"Your Highness, General Yue Fei has sent Yang Zaixing as the vanguard. It is time for our army to move south."
Zhuge Liang reminded Chu Wu to break camp.
This time Chu Wu's East Palace Guards no longer served as the vanguard. Yue Fei asked Yang Zaixing, a fierce general who was good at being a vanguard, as the vanguard general going south.
Zhuge Liang came to Chu Wu's camp and found Lu Lingqi, the leader of the East Palace Guards, rubbing Chu Wu's shoulders.
Let Lu Bu's daughter do the job of maid...
There probably weren't many people in the Great Xia Dynasty with this kind of card.
Chu Wu fooled Lu Lingqi into thinking that rubbing the prince's shoulders was one of the duties of the East Palace Guards...
"This expedition will definitely conquer Kyushu Island."
Chu Wu stood up.
It was finally time for the decisive battle on Kyushu Island.
This time he has his own exclusive high-level unit.
The East Palace Guards have gradually grown into a powerful legion after the imperial court spared no effort in supplementing them.
A few months ago, when Chu Wu attacked the bandits in the Qinling Mountains, he did not have his own tribe and even had to borrow Gao Shun's camp.
In the battle against Kyushu Island, Chu Wu formed an exclusive guard for the East Palace with strong soldiers and horses.
2,500 timid Xue troops gathered. Chu Wu rode Sa Lu Zi, while Lu Lingqi led Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and followed Chu Wu south.
"Everyone in the Tachibana family, assemble!"
Tachibana Chiyo summoned a thousand Tachibana Hayashi girls and ten thousand Tachibana family samurai and ashigaru to participate in the battle of Kyushu Island, and was the only daimyo to surrender.
Although this surrender was a bit reluctant, Tachibana Chiyo valued the existence of the family more.
Two retainers of the Tachibana family, Yubu Nobubu and Ono Zhenyuki, joined the Tachibana family's servant army and led the samurai to fight against the Ashigaru.
In fact, in addition to the 11,000 people of the Tachibana family, the lord of Hirado Castle, Taira Yoshimori, also sent 2,000 troops to support.
Royal Wild Boar, Yang Xingmi, and Zu Dashou led their replenished legion and marched southward.
Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying's crossbowmen are also a considerable fighting force.
This time, in order to strengthen the continuous output capability of the crossbowmen, Zhuge Liang prepared military vehicles filled with crossbow arrows.
Huang Yueying whispered to Zhuge Liang: "It will take some time to develop a large-scale Zhuge Liannu..."
"Since it is a repeating crossbow that you have studied with your ability, why do you still name it after 'Zhuge'?"
"..."
Huang Yueying knew that Zhuge Liang was deliberately teasing her, so her face turned red and she did not answer.
Chu Wu saw that even though Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying were married, they were still inseparable, and he couldn't help but muttered: "The military advisor is proficient in male and female speech skills, but he doesn't teach me one..."
Xia Jun claimed that three million were heading south, and in Iwaya City, dozens of Eastern and Western daimyo gathered together, with Oda Nobunaga sitting at the top, and the atmosphere was heavy.
If the Kyushu Great War failed, almost all the daimyo's land would be confiscated, and the order system would be replaced by the county system.
Maybe, the emperor will be gone.
Daimyos such as Tokugawa Ieyasu, Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Tadayoshi, Hojo Ushimasa, Date Masamune, Mori Terumoto, Shimazu Yoshihisa, etc. successively suffered losses in the confrontation with the Natsu army.
The daimyo of Utsunomiya, Soma family, and Takahashi were killed, while Nanbu Harumasa and Tachibana Michyuki were captured alive.
Oda Nobunaga looked around at the silent daimyo. As the shogun, he had to lead them to face the difficulties.
"Everyone, your life or death depends on this battle. I bet on the fate of the country and wish you a prosperous military fortune!"
"Wish you good luck in martial arts!"
