Summoning the Heroes of the Chaotic War in Another World Chapter 1188: Meng Tian plotted a trick to seize three counties and force the enemy to attack the capital.
Chapter 1188: Meng Tian plotted a trick to seize three counties and force the enemy to attack the capital.
Just as Huangfu Guhan was preparing to defend Lin'an, Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao, who had already swept through Pingyang County, also led an army of 50,000 people and officially entered the area where Pingyuan County was located.
When he first entered Pingyuan County, news came from the Pingyuan Luowen Branch. With the help of various aristocratic families, officials from various counties in Pingyuan County mobilized a large number of people. With the help of various aristocratic families, weapons were distributed to these people.
, organized into an army.
Each aristocratic family still has some resources. Although there are not many armors, after all, the court has a system. Anyone who hides armor privately will be punished by death. Even if it is a powerful family, the armor must be registered. These restrictions were only imposed after the world was in chaos.
Relax.
Therefore, even if each aristocratic family has some armor, the number will definitely not be large.
After all, under normal circumstances, they are not prepared to rebel. Even if they can collect some of these things like armor, they cannot have the need for large-scale collections.
However, things like swords, guns, bows and arrows are not precious things to them. Every family can basically produce a large number of them.
Moreover, the imperial court has never banned things like swords, guns, bows and arrows, let alone aristocratic families, even among the people.
Of course, bows and arrows are useless and cannot be distributed. The people who have just been organized can use them skillfully. After all, the people of the Seven Dynasties are still mainly engaged in farming, unlike the people of Beidi who just pick up bows and arrows.
An excellent prairie shooter.
On this point, Beidi is unique even among the four barbarians.
To train a qualified archer requires a lot of energy and time. At this point, bows and arrows are inferior to crossbows.
After all, in theory, as long as a crossbow is properly strung, the lethality a child can exert is the same as that of an adult.
But bows and arrows are different. If your arm strength is not enough, you can't even draw a bow. Even if you can barely shoot the arrow, it will have no lethality.
However, just as the imperial court prohibits the possession of armor, it also prohibits private possession of crossbows. Violators will also face death.
But no matter what, with the support of various big and small aristocratic families, at least, this is the so-called army that has just been organized, and its appearance on the surface is still barely visible.
Anyway, most of them have unified equipment.
At this point, it is much stronger than when Tianshi Dao first started.
When Tianshi Dao first started, except for a small number of people who were equipped with weapons, most of them still used farm tools such as sickles and hoes! At that time, Tianshi Dao fully explained what it meant to be a rabble.
No matter what their actual combat capabilities are, these peasant soldiers today, at least on the surface, look a little bit like that.
"Aristocratic families from all over the world have organized a large number of armies, which is also troublesome!"
As soon as he entered Pingyuan County, he received such a piece of news from Luo Wang, which made Meng Tian quite unhappy.
Although they are just ordinary people who have just been organized, if these people dare to leave the city, the Kwantung Army soldiers and horses can guarantee that they will beat ten of them one by one.
In the age of cold weapons, even if they are equipped with weapons, the real difference between two soldiers and horses is the armor on their bodies. If one armored soldier beats ten unarmored soldiers, there will not be any big problem.
But the problem is, first the other party must dare to leave the city.
"General Meng, can these people be called an army?"
"The general's soldiers can definitely kill these so-called armies with ease!"
Yang Qilang didn't take Meng Tian's army to heart at all. With an army of this quality, he could easily scatter ten thousand people on the other side with just two or three hundred cavalry. Moreover, he could also control the casualties to a very small range.
Inside.
Although Apocalypse Continent has a reserve system, the most complete reserves are definitely in the border areas and the Land of Four Rivers. Although they are not border areas, once the border areas are in emergency, they must lead the army at any time.
area.
Therefore, in the Land of Four Rivers, not only the actual number of government soldiers exceeds its appropriate establishment, but also the combat power of the same government soldiers is obviously not comparable to that of other soldiers. The most typical
, which is the gap between the Hebei Province Army and the Yannan Province Army.
Apart from these areas, the reserve forces in other areas are quite different in terms of implementation intensity.
Besides, Da Cang has been in chaos for so many years, and the reserves of each faction have been almost exhausted.
Reserves only refer to some veterans who have just retired from the army due to various reasons, or some common people who usually receive military training in their spare time. However, these numbers still have a number after all, and are not endless.
Therefore, Yang Yansi did not take this so-called soldier and horse seriously at all.
"Xiaoqi!"
"Don't be careless!"
"If these people go out to fight in the city, they are not worth mentioning! But if they stay in the city and defend it, it will be a trouble for our army!" Yang Yanzhao directly patted Yang Yansi on the head.
His younger brother is as brave as he is brave, and he is the most brave and good at fighting among the brothers. Even among such a large family as the Yang family, his bravery is only inferior to that of Yang Zaixing.
However, among the brothers, he is also the least stable one. Among the brothers, he is also the one who makes him least at ease. On the battlefield, he can easily be beaten.
Of course the Kwantung Army is not afraid of these peasant troops, but with so many more people, there is no telling how many more soldiers will be killed or injured along the way.
Moreover, if there are more peasant soldiers, it will be difficult for them to kill Lin'an in the shortest time according to their previous plan.
"Although these peasant soldiers have low combat effectiveness, our army cannot turn a blind eye and eradicate them one by one. Otherwise, we may not be able to advance directly to Lin'an!" Thinking of this, Yang Yanzhao said worriedly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If we can't attack Lin'an in the shortest time, the time will be delayed for a long time, and Yang Su's troops may be able to come back for reinforcements.
At that time, it will be extremely difficult to capture Lin'an.
Even if it's really bad, they might not be able to capture Lin'an with just the 50,000 Kwantung Army. At that time, Han Xin's troops will also be needed.
However, if that time comes, will it be their turn to destroy the enemy's capital and destroy the country?
Although he was also the general of the main army, Han Xin also had the title of Marching General Manager of Yannan Road. Even Meng Tian would be under the jurisdiction of Han Xin.
If Han Xin came in person, in the end, the biggest credit would still fall on Han Xin, and the rest of them would only be able to share some of the soup.
Besides, if this wasted time is too long, if the opponent waits for reinforcements from Tianshi Dao, the situation will probably change again.
"Turn a blind eye?"
"Why can't our military turn a blind eye to it?"
Hearing what Yang Yanzhao said, Meng Tian felt as if he was waking up from a dream.
"Send my general's order and the whole army will go straight to Lin'an!"
"The Golden Fire Cavalry is hidden on the side and you can take advantage of the opportunity!" Meng Tian ordered directly and decisively.
"I see!"
"General Meng's plan is very clever. Let's see if the enemy is in a hurry!" Yang Yanzhao immediately understood Meng Tian's meaning and immediately gave a thumbs up.
"Even so, our army cannot seriously go straight to Lin'an!"
"Why take all these risks in vain when you are sure of winning!" Meng Tian shook his head and said.
He would not really go straight to Lin'an with 50,000 soldiers and horses, but just adopt such an attitude, hoping to force the defenders of the counties along the way to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight.
Or, if you want to seduce the counties along the way to cut off their retreat, the five thousand golden fire cavalry are prepared for these enemies. If anyone really has any evil intentions, they want to cut off their retreat and threaten them.
These five thousand golden fire cavalry are enough to take care of everything.
After all, if we completely ignore the soldiers and horses along the way, if the opponent really never leaves the city, doesn't stop them, and doesn't attack their food routes, and they don't capture Lin'an in a short time, the enemy's
Once the soldiers and horses come back, they will be very prosperous!
Their army is probably going to be in deep danger.
When it comes time to fight for the achievement of destroying the enemy's capital or destroying the country, whether it is Meng Tian or Yang Yanzhao, they will not let it go easily.
However, fighting when it is time to fight does not mean that they have to risk the lives of 50,000 brothers for it. After all, for them, the current battle situation is a sure win. The only difference is that the final credit falls on
On whose head.
As expected, the counties and towns along the way became anxious one by one due to Meng Tian's move.
Although Lin'an at this time also organized a group of peasant soldiers. However, the number of real combatable troops was less than 10,000, and the rest had little fighting power.
It was still too much to deal with the 50,000-strong Kwantung Army, which looked like wolves and tigers.
Therefore, if these counties and towns along the way really don't care, then they will completely watch the Dongcang Kingdom fall into crisis.
However, there are at least some real soldiers and horses in the capital, but these counties and cities do not even have these soldiers and horses. They are almost all peasant soldiers who have just been organized.
With such troops and horses, even if they were worried about the situation in the capital, they would not dare to try to stop the advance of the 50,000 Kwantung Army by themselves.
It is precisely because of this that the only thing they can use their brains to think about is the food route of Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao.
The county towns along the way have not been captured, and several key nodes of the personnel carrier are still in the hands of each county. Therefore, the subsequent grain and grass transportation problems cannot be solved by relying on the personnel carrier.
At this time, if we rely solely on manpower to transport grain and grass, compared with troop transport vehicles, the journey will naturally be more labor-intensive.
Once a batch of food and fodder is cut off, there is no possibility that the second batch of food and fodder will be delivered in a short time.
Moreover, at this stage, food is still quite exciting for the people of Qingbei.
The entire Qingbei is short of food. Not only the people of Qingbei, but even the aristocratic families in Qingbei do not have large quantities of food and grass in their hands.
The four major imperial merchants, represented by the Nangong family, did not impose economic sanctions solely on the common people, but on the four tracts of Qingbei, Qingnan, Heyang, and Donghai as a whole.
These aristocratic families, relying on their huge wealth, will not have the same food crisis as ordinary people. However, it is impossible to say that any of them still has large quantities of food and grass in their hands.
Even if these aristocratic families want to buy in large quantities, there are not so many channels to do so. The deterrent power of the four imperial merchants in this regard is not obvious. Unless they can develop a new method like Tianshi Dao,
There is a channel outside Da Cang, and this channel must be extremely strong.
Therefore, even with the support of so many aristocratic families, Qingbei is still short of food.
Using these grains as a stimulus really made each of these peasant soldiers excited, at least, this was a superficial stimulus.
The three counties along the way all chose to attack Mengtian's grain road.
However, facing Meng Tian, who had been prepared for a long time, and the sudden attack of the Golden Fire Cavalry, these peasant soldiers who had just been expelled were almost entirely unarmored combat units.
The Golden Fire Cavalry is completely a lamb to be slaughtered under the iron hooves.
Each of these three counties has tens of thousands of peasant soldiers. This time they were almost mobilized in full force. However, even if they faced six times the enemy, the difference in the quality of the troops and horses between the two sides made this battle difficult.
It's still like a massacre.
And at this time, Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao's army, which originally seemed to be heading directly towards Lin'an, the capital of Dongcang Kingdom, turned around and fought back in time, and took the land of these three counties into their hands as if without any effort.
This battle became another great victory since the beginning of the Southern Expedition.
In this battle, from the attack of the Golden Fire Cavalry to the Kwantung Army taking over the three counties, the total casualties were just over a hundred people.
However, the results were extremely fruitful.
Not only did they capture these three counties, but they also had 25,000 more prisoners in their military camps.
In addition, Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao also received a large amount of food and grass.
At this time, Qinghai was extremely short of food. Therefore, after the food and grass from various places were collected, they were distributed centrally and uniformly by the county governments in various places. Priority was given to protecting the military, and then it was the people's turn.
It is precisely because the grain in the hands of the people was collected and distributed uniformly, so when these three counties were captured, this batch of grain also fell into the hands of Meng Tian and Yang Yanzhao.
