The allied forces of the four countries launched an attack on the Central Plains Dynasty almost on the same day. However, the Central Plains knew every move of the four countries. The four countries did not get any benefits. Facing the Central Plains armies that were waiting for them, the grasslands, Xixia, and Tubo could only
Choose to attack.
The main battlefield in the north is mainly at Yanmen Pass. Yanmen Pass is located in Yanmen Mountain, which was called Gouzhu Mountain in ancient times. It is located on the choke point south of Guangwu City in Shanyin County. The peaks here are tall and the terrain is dangerous. Since the construction of Yanmen Pass, there has been a saying that "One Man is in Charge"
It has the power to "strengthen the vassal guards of Tongli on the outside, strengthen the key of Taiyuan on the inside, reach the three passes at the root, and throat the entire Jin Dynasty". It can be said to be the most important fortress in the northern part of the Central Plains to resist the forces of the grasslands.
War broke out from time to time between the grassland forces and the Central Plains. Naturally, they knew very well the importance of Yanmen Pass. If Yanmen Pass could not be captured, the grassland's so-called offensive plan would not be able to be carried out at all. The imperial court also basically placed the main force here at Yanmen Pass.
The overall strength of the grassland is twice that of the northern army in the Central Plains, and most of them are cavalry. Naturally, the Central Plains court will not choose to fight in the wild with less. From the beginning of the war, the northern army planned to rely on Yanmen Pass.
Stop the grassland army.
The war has just begun, and the attacks and punishments between the two sides are still continuing. Judging from the current situation, Yanmen Pass is not in danger of being lost for the time being. However, the city fortresses in front will definitely not be in place for long.
The war in the north is generally stable, but the northwest is relatively anxious for the time being. With Jiayuguan as the center, the Xixia army divided into several groups to attack the northwest army. Jiayuguan, the largest pass in the Central Plains and the gateway to the northwest, naturally became the northwest war.
key points.
However, Xixia has been preparing for so many years and is very aware of the power of Jiayuguan. It is not an easy task to break through Jiayuguan where the northwest army is stationed and where top-notch experts are stationed. Therefore, when the war began, Xixia did not directly attack Jiayuguan, but chose
The troops were divided into several groups, hoping to bypass Jiayuguan, cut off the retreat from Jiayuguan, and slowly eat away at the defenders of Jiayuguan.
It is a pity that the Central Plains has already seen through Xixia's plan. The army is also divided into several routes, and there are many obstacles along the way. The progress of the Xixia army is very slow, and as the front becomes longer and longer, the supply of hundreds of thousands of Xixia troops becomes more and more difficult.
The Central Plains army can rely on various cities to provide some supplies on the spot, but Xixia can rely entirely on the rear. After the troops are divided, several armies must be supplied at the same time, which makes Xixia's supply very difficult.
Based on the information that Zeng Yi saw, he concluded that if Xixia could not complete their battle plan of dividing their forces as soon as possible, then the war in the northwest would eventually return to the battle for Jiayuguan. In such a divided battle, Xixia's supplies would not be able to withstand it for long.
.
If we talk about the war in the north and northwest, generally speaking, Xixia and the grasslands still have the upper hand, then the war in the southwest is more unclear. Tubo is the weakest among the four countries, and also has the smallest military force. It can be said that it is the most powerful country in the world.
The strength of the troops is only about 1.5 times that of the Southwest Army, and the quality of the soldiers is not as good as other troops of the Four-Nation Alliance. However, the Central Plains Army defending Tibet is not considered elite compared with other armies.
, mainly composed of new soldiers and Dali troops.
The Tubo army was not as experienced as the other armies of the Four-Nation Alliance. After the war began, the Central Plains army could clearly feel that their offensive was not strong. There were even Central Plains troops stationed in the city who tried to counterattack, but the Tubo army was
Retreat immediately.
"Is this... the Tubo army here to make fun of you?" Zhou Yi felt a little incredible when he saw this information. It stands to reason that he had experienced the strength of the Tubo army when he fought in the Western Regions. Who said it could not compare to it?
The other elites of the Three Kingdoms are not much different, they shouldn't be like this!
Huantian explained to him that when fighting in the Western Regions, Tubo sent only elite troops. Now that Tubo has overwhelming power, the quality of the army will naturally not be the same as during the Western Region War. Moreover, Tubo is better at fighting in the low-temperature environment of the plateau, and it can suddenly attack
In the southwest, when the temperature rises, those soldiers become wilted.
After learning about the battles of other armies, Shaantian asked: "How is the war in the Western Region going?"
Although the Central Plains court was not directly involved in the war in the Western Regions, it was very concerned about it. If the Western Regions were captured by Persia, the pressure on the Central Plains would be great. If they want to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to deal with the Persian army coming from the Western Regions, the Central Plains must attack the country.
The troops have been mobilized. Once that happens, the internal strength of the Central Plains will be somewhat insufficient. If someone makes trouble at that time, the Central Plains will be in big trouble.
"Not bad, but very passive. The Persian army has upgraded its siege equipment. Coupled with several battles, the three-bow bed crossbows in the cities in the Western Regions have suffered a lot. Now they are not very good at facing those Persian catapults.
A means of defense!”
Zeng Yi actually wanted to get some three-bow crossbows for the players, but after hearing what Zeng Yi said, Shaotian was silent for a moment and said: "Currently, the imperial court cannot produce more crossbows. Since the birth of artillery, the imperial court has
Almost all of the armaments budget has been invested in the production and research of artillery. The production of three-bow bed crossbows has long been stopped, and the imperial court cannot produce more three-bow bed crossbows!"
Compared with the three-bow bed crossbow, Zeng Yi actually wanted artillery more, but this was simply impossible. It was not yet time for artillery to be released in the game. The court would never allow artillery to appear in the hands of forces beyond the control of the court.
If it was leaked and studied by the four countries, that would be the trouble for the Central Plains. So Zeng Yi didn't mention artillery at all.
"Actually, as long as the cities in the Western Region can withstand the early offensive of the Persian army, it will be easy to say later. As time goes by, the defensive weapons of the major fortresses will definitely be replaced by artillery. By then, the three-bow bed will be eliminated.
The cities in the Western Region can now equip them with crossbows!" Ming Ri on the side continued to shake the sky.
The production of artillery has actually continued, but because it is the research result of the navy, the navy is the first to equip it. Recently, the navy has almost changed its equipment. In addition to the tense war, the infantry has begun to equip large quantities of it, but this requires
time.
"I hope I can withstand it!" After hearing these words from several people, Zeng Yi actually understood that it was hopeless to get support from the Central Plains court for the time being. The only way to protect the remaining ones was to cause damage to the enemy's siege equipment.
The threatening three-bow bed crossbow has become a top priority!
"This time, we have to let this guy from Iron Hammer show his true skills!" Zeng Yi has never worried about Iron Hammer's ability. If this guy can't complete this task, then no player will be able to complete it after the game.
