Chapter 1062 Strong and Weak

According to the national war setting, during the national war month, if a certain country is the active attacker and is at war with three countries at the same time, then the national war leader of the country can summon 100% of the total number of forbidden troops in the country at the cost of ten gold coins per person. 5% came to the scene to help.

For most of the game areas, the number of forbidden troops in the royal city will not exceed one million, and the maximum of 5% is 50,000 forbidden troops. It is better than nothing, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

But Huaxia District is different.

With a total of 10 million forbidden troops in the Huaxia District, they can also summon 500,000 forbidden troops to help in the battle, which is enough to change the situation of the battle.

If it was a joint attack from the north and the south, it probably wouldn't be necessary to summon the Forbidden Army of the Royal City to help in the battle. After all, an army of 500,000 would need to pay a huge sum of 5 million gold coins.

Until the last moment, Ouyang Shuo didn't want to waste this money.

Now that Dichen "doesn't cooperate", Ouyang Shuo can only reluctantly play this trump card. He wants to see how the Silver Hand will feel when the Northern Route Army takes Edo alone.

If others don't say anything, Grandpa Di Chen's face must be very ugly.

Another point is very interesting, there are nine royal cities in Huaxia District, and Ouyang Shuo can decide on his own which one or how many imperial cities to summon the imperial army.

Based on this alone, Ouyang Shuo can do a lot of things.

Bloody Romance and the others were very excited when they heard this, and said, "Let's share the money, we can't let you pay it alone."

Yes, this is not half a million, but a full five million.

Even if it is as rich as Daxia, it is a bit stretched to take out the money all at once. Coupled with this battle, Daxia provided transportation and food supplies for adventure players for free, which is already very interesting.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head.

"Why, look down on us, I can still afford one million." Bloody Romance was a little unhappy.

Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "That's not what I mean. I'll pay the money in advance first, and after I take down Edo, I'll deduct it from the spoils of war."

It is impossible not to search for spoils in the big Edo.

"It's more or less the same." Bloody Romantic's expression eased slightly.

…………

On June 17th, Ouyang Shuo and his party landed from the western suburbs of Edo.

The next day, all the divisions of the Northern Route Army rushed to assemble outside the city, and the vast army seemed to cover the sky and block out the sun. If you look closely, you can also see a trace of fatigue and sadness on the faces of the soldiers.

The national war has been fought for half a month, and the North Route Army also paid a heavy price in order to gnaw at the hard bone of Japan. Especially in the last three days, in order to clear the last obstacle, the Northern Route Army fought resolutely regardless of sacrifices.

After successive battles, the thirteen field armies, with a total of 910,000 troops and less than 800,000 soldiers, including some wounded, insisted on rushing to the outskirts of Edo to assemble.

It wasn't that Ouyang Shuo was ruthless and didn't call 500,000 forbidden troops to help in the battle.

Counting the 500,000 forbidden troops, the coalition forces that besieged Edo were only about 1.3 million. Facing the 800,000 forbidden troops stationed in Edo, they did not have an absolute advantage.

Edo is a royal city, how could it be so easy to win.

Let alone the battlefields of Japan and Korea, Seoul has not yet been captured by Li Jing's troops.

If you want to break the city, you must outsmart it. The 500,000 forbidden army is a trump card, and it can only be used when the enemy is unexpected, so that it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

On the morning of the 18th, Ouyang Shuo secretly met with Han Xin and confessed about the 500,000 imperial troops.

When Han Xin heard this, he understood immediately. The previous mystery was solved at once, and he said solemnly: "Please rest assured, your majesty, with this extraordinary army, within five days, the enemy city will be destroyed."

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "The general's ability is naturally trusted by the king. If this battle is won, the general will count the first. With such great military achievements, the general's rank should also be raised."

Compared with generals such as Bai Qi and Huo Qubing, Han Xin still paid more attention to "fame and fortune". Ouyang Shuo hinted that he was going to be promoted to the rank of General, and he was on a par with Bai Qi and Comprehension, so it was naturally the right medicine.

Sure enough, a hint of excitement flashed across Han Xin's face, but it quickly faded away.

"I will live up to the king's order!" Han Xin issued a military order.

…………

After coming down, Han Xin began to line up his troops.

Strictly speaking, Edo can also be regarded as a coastal city. Therefore, Han Xin handed over the responsibility of the Royal Fleet and the Pacific Fleet to the southeast of Edo Linhai.

The two fleets could bombard Edo by water, or dispatch musketeers to directly participate in the battle.

Except for the southeast direction, Han Xin also deployed heavy troops on the other sides. What outsiders can't see is that Han Xin seems to have distributed his army around Edo, but in fact there is a difference in density.

Don't think it's just a small blindfold, if you can do this, you can see that Han Xin is extraordinary.

The 800,000 field troops are basically deployed in the north and east, and only a small number of troops are deployed in the west. Obviously, since the beginning, Han Xin has reserved a place for 500,000 forbidden troops.

Dongpu knew nothing about all this.

…………

At this time, a row of people was standing at the head of Edo Castle, surrounded by personal guards.

Standing in the middle is naturally Emperor Meiji, on the left is Keisuke Honda, the lord of Mikasa Castle, and on the right is Oda Nobunaga.

The three core members of the Dongpu camp gathered here.

"The layout is still decent, who are you fooling?!" Honda Keisuke's expression was much more relaxed than a few days ago, although the words were sour, there was no fear.

Ever since he received his grandfather's reply, Keisuke Honda's heart has completely returned to his stomach. He didn't believe that Edo could be captured by the Huaxia North Route Army alone.

"I'm afraid the opponent is riding a tiger right now!" Oda Nobunaga said a pertinent sentence.

After half a month of dealing with it, the legend of Japan realized the strength of China, especially for the Great Xia army and Han Xin, who commanded this army, he admired it from the bottom of his heart.

Such a powerful army is indeed not comparable to Japan.

Of course, Oda Nobunaga also admires the methods of the lord Keisuke Honda, and he still hasn't figured out how the lord persuaded the Huaxia South Route Army to "cooperate".

Don't look at the fierce battle between the Huaxia South Route Army and the army led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the south of Honshu Island.

Otherwise, how could the tens of thousands of troops under Toyotomi Hideyoshi's command be able to stop the enemy.

Such methods are really unpredictable.

Emperor Meiji standing in the middle was expressionless, just watching the vast army outside the city calmly. After a long time, he said to Oda Nobunaga: "The defense of Edo Castle will be handed over to the general!"

Originally this was a good job, but Oda Nobunaga heard it, but his expression was a little embarrassed. Strictly speaking, Oda Nobunaga was not a courtier of Emperor Meiji, but a subordinate of Keisuke Honda.

Emperor Meiji blatantly bypassed Keisuke Honda and gave orders directly to Nobunaga Oda, which really broke the rules.

It stands to reason that Emperor Ji was also a legendary monarch, and he shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, but Emperor Meiji just did it, and the implications are really intriguing.

With the fall of the army of Mikasa Castle, Emperor Meiji, who had been keeping a low profile before, finally bared his fangs and began to take over the dominance of Japan in a legitimate way.

What I said just now was a demonstration.

When Keisuke Honda heard this, his face twitched visibly. Yes, after this battle, although Dongpu might be able to keep it, Mikasa Castle was seriously injured, and I don't know when it will recover.

Gaia has a rule that one game area can only launch a national war against another game area at most, and even after the national war month ends, this rule is still valid.

Such a setting is tantamount to a disguised protection for weak countries.

As the saying goes, there is no unparalleled road, and there is always a silver lining in everything. As long as a weak country has survived it once, it will basically be able to sit back and relax. This is one of the reasons why Goryeo is willing to participate in this melee.

Otherwise, the Honda family would never have tried their best to make a big promise to the Di family.

Even so, the ending seems to be a bit bad.

Keisuke Honda took a deep look at Emperor Meiji, then turned his head to look at Oda Nobunaga who had been waiting for his approval, and said with a forced smile: "Since the emperor values ​​it, the general will take it."

"Hi!"

Oda Nobunaga was caught in the middle and was also very embarrassed.
