MTL - Everything Is Too Easy After Maxing My Talents-Chapter 230 Blitz, shocked the world!
Chapter 230 Blitz, shocked the world!
Early spring in 7869 of the Great Zhou Calendar, this is a season when everything bursts out.
Under the gentle spring breeze, the temperature in Beibinghe Town began to rise slowly. At the same time, the vegetation buried in the ground by the snow couldn't wait to sprout new shoots.
Everything is celebrating this hard-won early spring.
At the same time, the Northern Glacier, which had been able to see the dry river bed in winter, also ushered in the annual wet season.
—Although the temperature of the extremely cold snow mountain will not change with the rise or fall of the outside temperature, the North Glacier does not only have one source, and the rivers in other places in Shiwanda Mountain also have water sources.
Therefore, every spring and summer, the Arctic River will gallop like other rivers, but under normal circumstances, the fluctuation of water volume will not be as rapid as other rivers.
On a sunny spring day, the mighty soldiers of Xingyue and Xingyue were preparing to drift down the North Ice River in a warship that had already been cast.
Going down the river can avoid being blocked by the pass set up on land by the Yuwang family.
This is the benefit of living upstream.
As long as there are enough warships, the upstream country can send troops to attack the cities and countries downstream at any time.
Whether it is food supply or soldier mobility, taking the water route consumes far less energy than taking the land route.
A few years ago, some courtiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty proposed to build a pass in Yicheng in the lower reaches of the North Ice River to prevent the Xingyue Army from going down the river and threatening the safety of the northeast land.
At that time, this excerpt caused quite a stir.
Many people of insight feel that it is very necessary to build this city. After all, although the strength of Beibinghe Town has not reached the level enough to threaten Da Zhou, it has reached a level that cannot be underestimated.
It is not a big deal to build a pass in the lower reaches of the Arctic River specifically to curb its development.
Of course, some people think this is superfluous.
From their point of view, no matter how powerful the Xingyue Army is, it is just a rebel army that has ruled a certain place. Although Da Zhou's last plan to lead an army to crusade against Beibinghe Town was not completely successful, it also made Xingyue in Beibinghe Town The army paid a heavy price.
Presumably after this battle, the Xingyue Army should be able to be honest for a long time.
The two parties were arguing endlessly in the court hall.
In the end, Zhou Tianzi himself ended up as the referee.
After thinking for a long time, Emperor Zhou affirmed the concerns of the Constructors. The Xingyue Army in Beibinghe Town should not be underestimated. We must find a way to curb its continued expansion to other places.
But at this moment, the Zhou Dynasty is troubled by internal and external troubles, and it has not yet stabilized itself. Moreover, the eastern region is at war with Daqi, and the south is also not at peace.
It is simply impossible to allocate a lot of money and food to build a checkpoint that does not generate much economic benefit in the lower reaches of the Arctic River.
Therefore, although this plan has been finalized, Dazhou has only released a rough plan in recent years, and has not had time to implement it. After all, no matter how highly the kings and ministers of Dazhou thought of the Xingyue Army, they never thought that they only occupied the two places in the northwest. The Xingyue Army was able to completely recover in just over twenty years. Judging from the number of troops alone, it was even much larger than at its peak in the past.
The time difference undoubtedly greatly facilitated the Xingyue Army's marching eastward.
…
The Xingyue Army drifted along the North Ice River for half a month, bypassing the Dazhou defenders who were in charge of guarding the land cities and passes, and finally came to the waters around Yicheng after drifting for thousands of miles.
After discovering that they had reached their destination, Huang Lier and the others, as the general commander in charge, immediately organized manpower to protect the soldiers on board the ship ashore.
The confidentiality level of this plan is very high.
Many soldiers only received orders from above when they were about to send troops, and even if they received the orders, they only asked all of them to prepare for battle at the beginning, without revealing in detail what they were going to do.
It wasn't until the time of departure that Beibinghe Town revealed its true strategic purpose. The buffer time was very short, leaving no opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of.
In order to prevent long nights and dreams.
The Xingyue Army rushed towards Yicheng overnight before getting off the warship.
In the combat strategy jointly formulated by Ding Yi and others, Yicheng is obviously a very important city.
This town, like Beibinghe Town, is also located on both sides of Beibinghe Town.
If Yicheng cannot be captured, then the Xingyue Army will not only have no foothold on the land on the east coast, but may also be flanked by soldiers from Yicheng when they withdraw or lose the battle.
This kind of accident is naturally not allowed by Ding Yi.
Therefore, the first mission of the Star-Moon Army after entering the Northeast is to occupy Yicheng and provide a platform for Beibinghe Town to transport food, grass and reinforcements down the river.
Now Yicheng's defense is very strong.
There are nearly 100,000 defenders alone, and there are 10,000 elite troops from the Royal Family of Yu in the city, and the overall number of soldiers may be close to 150,000.
These are the number of soldiers that Dazhou carefully considered when he re-armed the remaining land after the loss of the two northwest regions.
According to normal circumstances, the difference in strength between the defender and the attacker is no more than double, and it is very difficult for the attacker to break through the defender's city head-on. Therefore, Dazhou has arranged more than 100,000 troops in Yicheng, and many of them are elites. .
Even if the 300,000 Xingyue Army came out a few years ago, the defenders of Yicheng should be more than enough to resist for a period of time.
As long as it is not breached immediately, after the troops in other cities react, they can immediately send troops to help.
…
No matter from what point of view, this arrangement is very reasonable.
However, they have calculated thousands of times and considered many aspects, but they only missed one point, that is, they did not have a clear and definite concept of the expansion speed of the Star-Moon Army.
—Da Zhou is still comparing the strength gap between the two sides with the strength he had when he fought the Xingyue Army 20 years ago, but he didn't expect that 20 years would be enough to cause a huge tilt in the balance of strength between the two sides!
The Xingyue Army moved like lightning.
After several days of rapid marching and approaching Yicheng, they immediately surrounded Yicheng at the fastest speed.
Before the soldiers in Yicheng came back to their senses, they immediately raised the horn for a general attack.
Looking at the Xingyue soldiers who were crowded outside the city.
Countless Zhou soldiers on the entire Yicheng are confused.
Although the Great Zhou court sent them to station in Yicheng, Yicheng has always been one of the hinterlands of the Great Zhou in the northeast, and no large-scale war has broken out for tens of thousands of years.
It wasn't until decades ago that the two regions in the Northwest became independent that Yicheng, an inconspicuous hinterland city, became a major military town and began to send heavy troops to guard it.
However, neither the generals nor the soldiers of the garrison in Yicheng had ever imagined that the Xingyue Army in Beibinghe Town would actually attack the Northeast downstream!
Therefore, after seeing the dense crowd of people in the city, countless people in Yicheng couldn't believe their eyes.
"The Qi army is still fighting against the 12th Northern Company. This is Yicheng. Why do so many troops suddenly appear?"
"Judging from the flag, this army seems to be the rebels in Beibinghe Town!"
"Would the Xingyue Army in Beibinghe Town eat a bear's heart and a leopard? Are you really going to start a full-scale war with me?"
"According to Wang Ji's news, isn't the Xingyue Army only 300,000? Even if more than 20 years have passed, they should have just recovered from the last northern battle. Why do I see There are so many Xingyue soldiers?"
"Just judging from the density of the array seen today, the number of these soldiers is far more than 300,000!"
"The big thing is not good, the big thing is not good..."
Looking at the Xingyue Army in neat formation, the soldiers of Zhendong Army stationed in Yicheng were in chaos, and almost forgot their duties for a while.
Fortunately, there are still elite troops sent here by King Yu in Yicheng.
After discovering that the Xingyue Army appeared outside the city, these elite soldiers responded quickly and began to take over the command power in Yicheng, mobilizing the logistics soldiers of the Zhendong Army to pile up all kinds of war equipment on the city wall.
But it's still too late.
The Xingyue soldiers were densely packed one wave after another, and their formation was neat, so there was no need to worry about trampling on each other. They marched extremely fast, even if they were bombarded by arrows and catapults, they still rushed forward like a precision machine regardless of everything. They are well-equipped, and many of their soldiers are equipped with iron armor, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the defenders in Yicheng.
Although the soldiers in the city had come to their senses and were struggling to resist, they still felt deeply powerless in the face of the vast ocean composed of the Xingyue Army.
In less than half a day, Yicheng was easily captured by the Xingyue Army.
To be able to capture this heartland city so smoothly, the most important thing is not only the superiority in military strength that is several times that of the enemy, but also because the Xingyue Army appeared too suddenly, causing the Yicheng defenders to panic when they were attacked by soldiers all over the mountains and plains. Haven't had time to figure it out yet.
Even before the mountains of defense equipment piled up in the warehouse had time to be fully taken out, the powerful and fearless Xingyue Army special forces seized control of the city gate.
The gate of Yicheng was opened, and the main force of the Xingyue Army entered the city without hindrance.
Most of the defenders of Yicheng, who found that the situation was gone, immediately raised their hands and surrendered, and the very few who resisted violently were killed on the spot.
Occupying Yicheng, the Xingyue Army dispatched 100,000 troops to guard it. As a backing, they firmly controlled the portal where the Xingyue Army freely traveled from the North Ice River. The remaining 400,000 troops carried enough food and grass and continued to move further east. Jincheng rushed to.
In Ding Yi's previous battle plan, the most important thing to implement was lightning tactics.
Prepare to inflict maximum damage on the defenders in the Northeast of the Great Zhou at the fastest speed, and only by stirring the entire Northeast into a pot of porridge can the Xingyue Army gain a firm foothold here. Otherwise, whether Da Zhou turned around and attacked the Xing-Moon Army, or Da Qi took this opportunity to further annex Da Zhou's land, it would not be a good thing for the Xing-Moon Army.
In the following time, the Xingyue Army launched a blitzkrieg.
The first thing to break through is the goal of this trip: Jincheng.
The situation in Jincheng is also similar to that of Yicheng. In terms of military strength alone, it is even inferior to Yicheng. After all, Yicheng is heavily guarded by the imperial court, and the target of defense is the Xingyue Army.
Therefore, the Yicheng soldiers still have a little defense.
As Jincheng is the last town in the Northeast, it is not exposed to the flames of war under normal circumstances.
Even if there is precaution, it is against Da Qi in the eastern land.
—The sudden appearance of the Xingyue Army directly collapsed the officials and soldiers in the entire Jin City.
After breaking through Jincheng, the Xingyue Army had a second base, and the army became more and more unstoppable. In just half a month, they broke through eight cities in a row, seven of which were medium-sized cities, and only one was slightly larger. a little.
The Xingyue Army did not stay in these cities, nor did they garrison troops in these cities. They just swept away the food, grass and weapons in the barracks in the cities, and then left without stopping.
After all, for such a small and medium-sized city, it doesn’t matter if the walls are not high, and they are still in disrepair.
There is no way to use it as a defensive place.
Only large cities with certain military strength, such as Yicheng and Jincheng, can allow the Xingyue Army to station.
With these two cities, the Xingyue Army has the initiative in the war in the east.
Jin can occupy Jincheng and encroach on the entire Northeast.
You can return to Yicheng and return to Beibinghe Town by boat.
It is truly possible to advance and attack, and to retreat and defend.
…
When Jincheng was breached.
Yu Wang, who was still fighting Daqi on the front line, only realized something unusual at this time.
The Xingyue Army would block the back of the city before attacking, and basically all the postmen who wanted to escape from the city to send messages were intercepted.
Therefore, the news of the attack on the rear has not been exposed until now.
The reason why King Yu’s attention was attracted was only because he found that two roads for transporting grain in the pass were broken for no reason.
Finding the abnormality, King Yu immediately sent people to the two two roads to investigate.
It's okay if you don't check it, but once you check it, the news that shocked the whole Da Zhou will inevitably spread! !
The Xingyue Army sailed down the North Ice River in warships and broke through and occupied Yicheng. A few days later, they captured Jincheng with a swift and fierce attack...
When this news came out, all the citizens of Dazhou were shocked.
His eyes widened and he couldn't even speak for a while.
Even several other countries with dog brains turned their attention to this matter from their own domestic wars.
"What's the situation? Hasn't the Star-Moon Army been licking their wounds in Beibinghe Town?"
"My God, why did they dare to attack the northeast of Dazhou? Don't they know that the land in the northeast is forbidden by Dazhou?"
"I feel that Beibinghe Town has really lost its mind this time. Is this trying to use the power of the Northwest and the Northwest to act as a **** stick between Da Zhou and Da Qi?"
"Say it or not, I'm really brave enough, I just hope Li Yueming won't regret this decision by then!"
After the news spread.
The whole world is discussing.
Most of the people who eat melons cannot understand this behavior of the Xingyue Army.
After all, in their opinion, it is good enough that Da Zhou didn’t trouble Li Yueming, and it’s too late for Beibinghe Town to develop secretly, so how could they take the initiative to send troops to contaminate the land in the Northeast?
Could it be that Beibinghe Town has expanded to the point where it wants to use the Northwest and Northwest to counter Da Zhou's national power?
Of course, some people keenly captured deeper information in this war.
"The Star-Moon Army was able to capture so many cities in the Northeast in just one and a half months. Are they stronger than they were a few years ago?"
"There has been no news from Beibinghe Town for many years. Now that they suddenly send troops, they must not be out of their wits. I think they must have bigger plans!"
"Now Da Zhou is not only fighting Da Qi, but also supporting Da Tang in the south to resist Da Qin. It is in the weakest period of strength. At the beginning, Da Zhou couldn't break through Beibinghe Town. Isn't it even more difficult to fight now? "
"If Beibinghe Town can withstand Da Zhou's counterattack and firmly hold on to the current basic situation, I can already see the seventh country outside the six countries is rising!"
…
The outside world is cloudy and windy, and I don’t know how many countries are looking at Da Zhou.
Da Zhou Hao Capital.
In the palace, the enraged Emperor Zhou smashed a treasure vase that he usually loved very much, and roared to the **** below: "Find someone, and send all the soldiers who can be mobilized in Fulongguan, Fuhuguan, and Futianguan Mobilize everyone, reorganize the army and attack Beibinghe Town as quickly as possible!"
"In addition, bring all the soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army that can be mobilized throughout the Northwest!"
"This group of rebels dare to touch the Northeast land, and I will make him completely alone!"
Roared and gave the order.
Zhou Tianzi finally managed to calm down.
He glanced at the bamboo forest not far behind him, his face fluctuated for a long time, and finally he went in bravely.
This time he has made up his mind, not only to let Li Yueming die, but also let the Li family be buried with him!
