Chapter 452 Destruction 2 Each Has Its Own Calculation
In the state of Jin, on the Daqing River, four warships flying the flag of the state of Liu broke through the waves and went upstream with an indomitable attitude. On the river bank, there are still 30,000 main force elites, sweeping along the river bank.
On the warship, there are also 10 large propeller aircraft, which can drop bombs at any time to support the surrounding situation.
After replenishing supplies in Shanhai City in the concession of the Shang Kingdom, these four warships and Liu Guo's 30,000 troops headed up the river like a broken bamboo.
In the rear, there are 40,000 main forces gradually coming, and they are beginning to consolidate the rear.
Most of Jin's main military force is used to attack Liu State, 20% is to defend Lu State, and the rest is to defend Qi State and Shang Kingdom. However, there is no coastal defense in the direction of the East China Sea, but defense inland hundreds of miles away. This is to prevent the Kingdom of Shang from attacking from the sea, and is preparing to temporarily abandon the coastal areas.
But he didn't want to make Liu Guo cheap. With the support of the Kingdom of Shang, the State of Liu went up the river and soon arrived at the defense point of the State of Jin. But when he got here, Liu Guo didn't move forward anymore, so he stationed here and kept harassing Jin.
The purpose is also very simple, which is to involve the main force of the Jin State and disperse the forces of the Jin State. Of course, if there is an opportunity, Liu Guo will not let it go.
Zhang Jianchao, who had just been promoted to the general of Liu Guo's navy, looked here and there excitedly. If it wasn't for the restriction of his status as a general, he would really like to roll on the deck of the warship.
Only those who have personally manipulated this giant steel ship can feel the horror of this giant steel ship.
The 356mm caliber artillery, with one salvo and four shells, can blow up the city wall, and the explosion is so powerful that even the Yuanying period can only flee in embarrassment. Two attacks are enough to tear apart an army of 10,000 people, providing the army with a chance to be annihilated.
With the cooperation of the waterway, Liu Guo's army penetrated into Jin State like a sharp knife. The broad Daqing River provided the best "transportation" for Liu Guo's army.
"Four warships, this is the territory of Liu Guo's four waters!" Zhang Jianchao commented in this way.
"The general is so right." Around, excited little officers flattered.
…………
In the west of the Kingdom of Shang and the western border of Songzhou County, Yan Zhengqing flew in mid-air, watching the 500,000 elite soldiers and one million ordinary soldiers who had gathered overnight, filled with pride!
Any commander would be amazed by the opportunity to be completely trusted and command 1.5 million troops to attack a country without any constraints.
If you want money for money, for food for food, for weapons for weapons, and for talismans, they will be brought by cart after cart... No matter what, just open your mouth, and the rear will send it immediately!
Last night, the train never stopped. In one night, a total of 15 million taels of gold was shipped in, not paper tickets, but real gold.
1.5 million people, each with 10 taels of gold in their pockets!
Under generous rewards, 1.5 million troops transformed into hungry wolves.
After watching the soldiers, Yan Zhengqing couldn't help but look back at the long railway and the two long roads. Now, on these three roads, there is still an endless stream, and countless supplies have been transported to the front line.
"Materials that used to need to be transported for a month can now be delivered in one night! This is the power of industry! With such support, Yan Zhengqing, if you can't win Qi State within half a month, you will be sorry for this support and this trust I'm even more sorry for this talent!" Yan Zhengqing said silently to herself.
Overnight, he controlled most of the military power of the Shang Kingdom. Complete trust, there is no so-called military supervisor, and there is no temporary "consolation team".
"Woooo..." A horn sounded, and the 1.5 million army stretched to the end of the field of vision like a tide. The sound of the horns one after another was continuous like waves. That is the horn of preparation, and it is also the horn of attack!
Although the 1.5 million army already has many mechanized units, Yan Zhengqing still uses the horn. The sound of the trumpet sounded vigorously, stimulating every soldier's eyes to bloodshot.
"Let's go. As long as Guangling County can be captured this morning, everyone will be rewarded with three taels of gold; military merits will be counted separately. If you can capture the old border of Qi State today, which is the border between Qi State and Daxia State, everyone will be rewarded with 10 taels of gold , Doubling military merit!"
"Oh..." The 1.5 million army roared, surging forward like a tsunami.
The first level is the frontier defense of Guangling County. Under the attack of such an army, it is just a layer of window paper, which cannot stop the army's footsteps at all. The generals guarding the border were immediately strangled to death by several Nascent Soul stage masters.
The army is advancing rapidly, without heavy artillery, it is completely a blitzkrieg idea. If cannons are needed, they are completely replaced by aircraft. Most of the time, Yan Zhengqing sent Yuan Yingqi to form a group to kill monsters.
Starting in the morning, they arrived at the old border of Qi State at noon, and encountered no resistance at all along the way. Many people in Guangling County even welcomed the Kingdom of Shang along the way.
When the army arrived at the old border of Qi State, Qi State had not had time to send capable generals over.
The previous war between Qi State and Hou Xia led to weak border defenses, and the two counties of Baqiu and Langhuan in the rear were still in a state of abject poverty, unable to provide blood transfusion for the border.
Yan Zhengqing boldly used more than 30,000 talismans to smash it down. The Earth Shaking Technique is a small spell, but what if more than 30,000 Earth Shaking Techniques erupted at the same time? On the Great Wall of Qi State's border defense, a ten-mile section of the Great Wall guarding the main passage was wiped out by 30,000 magic spells, and 1.5 million troops flooded into Qi State like a tide.
At the same time, there were tens of thousands of border guards from the Qi Kingdom who were wiped out. When the army of 1.5 million rushed in, the soldiers of Qi State were like foam under the waves, collapsing at the touch of a touch.
Of the more than 100,000 soldiers on the border of Qi State, only about 30,000 surrendered in the end. Just at this time, the mercenary group arrived, and Yan Zhengqing handed over the prisoners to the mercenary group for guard, and led the army to charge forward.
Impact, impact, never stop.
"Don't siege the city, don't disturb the people, just march towards the capital of the Qi Kingdom! But anyone who stands in the way will be killed without mercy!" Yan Zhengqing was marching at a risk, regardless of the situation behind it.
Along the way, the army traveled extravagantly with talisman seals. Fortunately, the talismans and seals of the Shang Kingdom were the least valuable, and they were all "printed". Pieces of talismans were smashed down, and the moat became a clear path. When the magic was used intensively, it showed miraculous power.
At about 15 o'clock in the afternoon, the army's most elite army of 500,000 troops had already passed through Langhuan County and entered Linlang County, the "inner ring" of Qi State. After crossing Linlang County, you will enter Xintian County where the imperial capital of Qi Kingdom is located.
This marching speed can be called terrifying. Of course, there is a price for this. Yan Zhengqing crosses the city without attacking, which is an alternative way of self-defeating.
At 15:00, Yan Zhengqing gave out another gold reward. Of course, this time it is not gold, but a golden ticket. Taking Guangling County is two gold, and capturing the border of Qi State is 10 two gold. Now that the quota has been exceeded, Yan Zhengqing gritted his teeth and distributed 25 taels of gold tickets to each of them!
Gold is touching, and within half an hour of rest and rectification, the army continued to advance and invaded Linlang County in one fell swoop.
Linlang County didn't do any defense at all, and the governor was considered a hero, but he only brought 50,000 soldiers, guards, and civilians to stop him. As a result, needless to say, the soldiers of the Shang Kingdom tore the weak 50,000 people into pieces like wolves and tigers.
At sunset, the army actually entered the Linlang County City Lord's Mansion to celebrate.
At this moment, Yan Zhengqing suddenly ordered, "Station in Linlang County, strengthen the defense, defend the city, and drive out the people in the city.
Remember, when you are expelled, you must tell the people that we will stay here and wait for reinforcements from the rear. "
"Yes!" The soldiers went down to get busy.
…………
It is said that when Yan Zhengqing attacked, the envoys of the Kingdom of Shang were lobbying in Xiao, Chen, Shao, Rong, and Baishan, a total of five countries.
Shao Guo agreed most straightforwardly, and Qi Guo's ambitions were revealed, so of course he would give Qi Guo a head-on blow. Now the Kingdom of Shang, behind Qi, took the initiative to cooperate, and Emperor Shao agreed.
Xiao Guo hesitated for a long time, and Xiao Liming also agreed.
But what made Xiao Liming agree to cooperate was the opinion given by Xiao Liming's queen, Ji Yunya. This is a woman not to be underestimated.
"Now the Xiao Kingdom is in the realm of the Fourth War, which is very dangerous. But if the Shang Kingdom is allowed to swallow the Qi Kingdom, the Shang Kingdom will become the new target of public criticism. At that time, we will be able to unite with many northern countries to fight against the Shang Kingdom.
Now, we have to face the covetous eyes of Cai Guo, Deng Guo, Zheng Guo, Chen Guo, Tang Guo, and Qi Guo. The situation is so critical that we will lose everything if we are not careful.
But if we let Shang Kingdom swallow Qi, then Cai Guo, Deng Guo, Zheng Guo, and Chen Guo will inevitably face the crisis of Shang Kingdom.
In this way, we can join forces with the four countries of Cai, Deng, Zheng, and Chen, and we can relieve the state of being enemies on all sides.
And in the process of fighting against the Shang Kingdom, we will be able to develop and grow in the cracks with ease. Being between the Kingdom of Shang and the four kingdoms of Cai, Deng, Zheng, and Chen, we can gain the power and space for development and growth from both sides!
At that time, Shang Kingdom had to face Jin and Lu Kingdoms in the south, and Shao Kingdom in the west, so it was bound to be overwhelmed! "
This is Ji Yunya's suggestion to Xiao Liming. After Xiao Liming heard this, he promised the envoys of the Shang Kingdom that he would never intervene in the war between the Shang Kingdom and the Qi State—we will stand by and watch.
The more complicated one is Chen Guo. The envoys who lobbied Chen Guo ran into a little trouble—the Emperor Chen Guo had a good appetite, and said that even if half of Qi Guo was eaten, we could still digest it.
If you don't give me half of Qi's land, I will join forces with Qi to fight against your Shang Kingdom!
"I met such a rambunctious emperor!" The envoy was speechless. But having said that, some people say that politicians are decent rascals. So calling a politician a rascal is actually a compliment.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Wang Yongxin, Chen Guo's Grand Master, came out. He pulled Emperor Chen to whisper for a while, and then Emperor Chen made a 180-degree turn, "I will not send troops to attack Qi, but I will not help Qi either. I stand by and watch! This It's the bottom line."
This bottom line is very good, the envoy quickly thanked and left.
After the envoys from the Kingdom of Shang left, Yuan Shouzhi, the Prime Minister of the Chen Kingdom, couldn't help asking, "Teacher Wang, what did you say to His Majesty just now?"
"Three!" Wang Yongxin stretched out three fingers:
"First, what will happen if Qi loses the battle between Shang Kingdom and Qi Kingdom?
Second, what if there is a tie?
Third, what if Qi wins? "
After a slight pause, Wang Yongxin continued: "Regardless of success or failure, there will be consumption between the two. And this is our opportunity.
If the Qi State is defeated, it will still be able to resist the Shang Kingdom; after a long battle, the Shang Kingdom will definitely stop fighting. Then, we took the opportunity to swallow Qi.
If both sides suffer, we can have both sides, eat the east and drink the west.
If Qi wins, it is likely to be a miserable victory. At that time, the opportunity is still on our side.
Even if the Kingdom of Shang wins in the end and swallows the Kingdom of Qi in one gulp, it may cause indigestion.
Look at the map. If the Kingdom of Shang swallowed the Kingdom of Qi in one gulp, the map of the Kingdom of Shang would form a spindle shape, and the part of Guangling County would be where Slim Waist was. At that time, as long as we are stuck in Guangling County, we have countless ways to instigate the nobles and common people of Qi State.
And as long as these people rebel, we can support the puppet and take the opportunity to swallow Qi State little by little.
Moreover, if the Shang Kingdom really swallowed Qi, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the surrounding countries. Before the enemy is destroyed, the enemy must first be mad. The Shang Kingdom is too rampant, so we will help to make the Shang Kingdom completely rampant and crazy. "
Speaking of this, Prime Minister Yuan Shouzhi looked along the map, "If the Kingdom of Shang swallows the Kingdom of Qi, the land will be six to seven thousand miles wide, and it will become the largest country in the east of Yingzhou. The states of Lu and Jin are bordering each other in an all-round way.
And countries must not like to see such a powerful Shang kingdom, and they will definitely attack it together.
At that time, the Shang Kingdom will be completely defeated, and its demise is inevitable! "
"Yes!" Emperor Chen said affirmatively!
"Then... let's prepare the army, we are going to make a fortune!" The grand master's eyes lit up.
