Zhang Yi gave Chen Yi the main task of attacking Lin'an and asked him to command 50,000 new troops and an artillery battery.
Chen Yiyi was so happy that he led the new army all the way to the south gate of Lin'an City, where they dug trenches and built a line of defense.
His idea was very clear, which was to cut off the enemy's escape route south.
The enemy is still in chaos, and the commanders of the six-nation coalition are still noisy in the city. They are self-righteous and refuse to obey anyone.
This group of robbers colluded together for profit, and each had their own agenda.
They did not have any clear strategic plan. At first, they only had one idea, which was to capture Anqing City and then go north to defeat Greater China.
According to the proposal of the Yamato Empire, that is, the Japanese general Sato Kihara, cut off the retreat of Zhang Yi's army, surround them and annihilate them on the Korean Peninsula.
In that case, no one in China can resist the coalition forces, and the six countries can easily carve up this country.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi captured the capital at lightning speed, integrated Greater China and Old China, and arrived in Anqing in time to defeat the allied attack.
Before the commanders of the Six Nations Allied Forces could discuss a response, Zhang Yi's army dug trenches and set up cannons outside the south gate.
Only then did those guys realize the seriousness of the problem.
…
The Presidential Palace in Lin'an City.
The commanders of the six nations sat arrogantly at a large round table, including President Li Haotang of Little China, who sat there with a depressed expression and said nothing.
In fact, he had no chance to speak at all.
Vice President He Qiannian, Marshal Yang Ting and General Deng Yun sat on the cold bench beside them, their faces ashen.
This passive situation was caused by Little China itself. They were worried about being annexed by Zhang Yi, so they tried to ask the British and other Western powers for assistance. Unexpectedly, they attracted a group of evil wolves, and they regretted it too late.
The six-nation coalition forces of nearly 200,000 men suddenly rushed into Hangzhou Bay. The entire Lin'an was exposed to the fleet's artillery fire and had no choice but to obey its arrangements.
To put it mildly, it means that I was coerced and lost my autonomy.
At the large round table, besides Li Haotang, there was also a Chinese man sitting, who looked to be in his 20s, with high cheekbones, sharp eagle eyes, and a domineering face.
It was none other than Wu Liang, the son of the old Chinese Prime Minister Wu Rui!
It turned out that he fled all the way to the West, and it happened that the Western powers coveted China's wealth and had the idea of a large-scale invasion. Wu Liang knew the situation in China and said that China was a mess and was in the period of the Three Kingdoms melee, so it could be easily captured.
Wu Liang proposed a strategy of invading China, taking advantage of the maritime superiority of the Western powers, massing troops, and reaching Lin'an directly through Hangzhou Bay, so that he could quickly control Little China.
Then, using Little China as a springboard, the navy and land forces marched north together, capturing the capital and occupying Greater China.
Immediately afterwards, troops were sent to Chang'an to eliminate Zhang Yi, who was the greatest threat, and the whole of China became within his grasp.
Wu Liang was lobbying the three countries of England, France and Germany. The three countries all wondered why Wu Liang betrayed his country. Wu Liang told about his life experience. Zhang Yi killed his father and had an sworn hatred with him.
And his request is that he hopes to ascend the throne of the King of China under the protection of the Three Kingdoms. To this end, he is willing to pay tribute to the Three Kingdoms.
China has a vast territory and abundant resources, and the situation is complicated. The three Western countries really want to find a puppet like Wu Liang to become their agent to exploit China.
It’s just that the international situation is not that simple. Tsar Andrei died tragically under Chang’an City. After Tsar Nicholas came to power, he wanted revenge at all costs.
Tsar Nicholas was afraid that his troops were insufficient, so he united with England, France and Germany, and also attracted the Yamato Empire and the Mauryan Dynasty.
At this point, the Six-Nation Alliance was formed.
The development of things was different from what Wu Liang thought, but in the eyes of the great powers, he was just a lackey. They were all using him, and no one took him seriously.
In order to take revenge, Wu Liang had no choice but to grovel and obey the arrangements of the great powers.
He himself was not taken seriously, but his strategy of invading China was supported by the six countries. This was the scene where the armies of the six countries suddenly broke into Hangzhou Bay and little China was hijacked.
…
General Sato Kihara of the Yamato Empire stood up to speak, and he said angrily.
"We originally had a huge advantage and could seal Zhang Yi to death on the Korean Peninsula. However, the princes could not decide for a long time and gave Zhang Yi time to develop. Now that he is approaching the city, if you don't join hands and fight, I'm afraid we will
Lost our foothold in mainland China!"
At this time, these guys didn't know the existence of the Chinese fleet and thought that Zhang Yi only had a powerful army and no navy.
King Sal, commander of the Far East Military Region of the Kingdom of England, was also furious. He stood up, pointed at Wu Liang's nose and scolded.
"Mr. Wu Liang, the information you provided us is seriously inconsistent with reality. You said that Zhang Yi has a powerful cavalry force, and they are good at riding and shooting. But where did the artillery come from? China is in a primitive and backward stage, so why?
Possibly have more powerful artillery than us?"
Wu Liang's face turned pale, he waved his hands repeatedly and said in panic.
"I don't know either. I swear, before I left Chang'an, they only had bows and arrows and Molotov cocktails, and no artillery at all!"
Marshal Yermak of the Tsarist Empire smiled coldly and preached.
"Veterans of the Guards who returned to Moscow said that Zhang Yi developed powerful artillery only after the Battle of Chang'an. Zhang Yi was very ambitious. Not only did he want to reach Moscow, he also wanted to drink from the Danube River and fight directly.
Means Berlin, Paris and London!”
General Sato Kihara snorted angrily and roared.
"Artillery, damn artillery! It was Zhang Yi who relied on artillery to capture the Korean Peninsula in a short period of time, causing heavy losses to our samurai and forcing Marshal Kuroda Satsuma to retreat to Yamato. Gentlemen, we must concentrate our efforts and think
Do everything possible to destroy their artillery, otherwise, we will have no choice but to retreat to the sea."
The arrogant South Asian Marshal Prabhajan of the Mauryan Dynasty of India disagreed.
"Our six-nation coalition has strong strength, how can we be intimidated by a few artillery pieces? I suggest that we should fight out of the city together and use superior forces to surround Zhang Yi so that he has no way to escape. We can win a great victory in one battle.
.”
Leno, the commander of the Asian Army of the French Republic, glanced sideways at Prabhayan. Among the six countries, the Mauryan Dynasty is the weakest. It is stuck in the era of primitive cold weapons. Letting them participate in this expedition to invade China is only a temporary use.
It's just them, the Mauryan Dynasty will eventually become a colony of the great powers.
So Leno said.
"Marshal Prabayan, your proposal is good. You might as well ask your army to be the vanguard and break through Zhang Yi's defense line. We will support you from behind!"
Prabayan definitely didn't want to act as cannon fodder and insisted on going out of the city to fight together.
