The army marched into Tubo, almost all the way. However, as it got closer and closer to Luozhong, the difficulties for the army became more and more difficult. Tubo was also ruthless. In order to hold back the Southwest and Mingjiao armies, they not only destroyed the roads, but also destroyed the army.
Wherever it went, water sources were destroyed, civilians were relocated, and the army encountered several empty cities along the way.
This made it very difficult for the army to obtain some supplies on the spot. Almost all supplies had to be supplied from the Central Plains, and the supplies from the Central Plains had to be transported through the Tubo Plateau, which caused extremely large losses, reaching the southwest of the Central Plains.
Some can't bear it anymore.
The three giants of the army, Zeng Yi Yang Xiao and the head coach of the Southwest Army, had to get together to discuss countermeasures. "According to the information from the Jinyiwei investigation, the army has now traveled more than half of the way, but the remaining road will only become more difficult."
More and more are coming, and at the current pace of advancement, it is basically impossible to kill them all within a few days!"
"If we can advance smoothly, we don't mind the delay for a few more days. The main problem now is the supply problem! The losses in the plateau battle are somewhat unexpected!" the commander of the Southwest Army said helplessly.
Yang Xiao was silent for a moment, "The Mingjiao still has some supplies. The supply journey from the Western Region is shorter, so we can still hold on for a few days."
Zeng Yi and the commander of the Southwest Army shook their heads: "Treating the symptoms but not the root cause. If your Mingjiao's supplies only provide you with 50,000 troops, you may be able to last for a while, but now with hundreds of thousands of troops, even if they are all shipped, it will not be able to solve the huge problem.
question!"
After being silent for a long time, Zeng Yi suddenly thought of the players of the Ming Cult, "That's right! You can take advantage of the lay disciples of the Ming Cult!"
Yang Xiao frowned and thought about it. Mingjiao players are also an extremely large group in the game. They are probably smaller than Shaolin Wudang people. If these people are used, supply is really not a big problem!
"My suggestion is that the imperial court will provide food and be paid, and the Mingjiao will issue a supply mission! This will definitely solve the current predicament!"
"Is this...really okay?"
"How will you know if you don't try!" Zeng Yi said, looking at the coach of the Southwest Army, "You and I will jointly submit a letter to the court, and we should be able to get support from the court!"
"Okay, if there are no problems on Prince Ming's side, I can draft a memorial immediately!"
Now that the matter has come to this, Yang Xiao naturally has no objections. Soon the three of them reached a consensus.
In fact, this matter is a matter of killing three birds with one stone. The loss of players' supplies is much less than that of the army's own supplies. The losses of the army's own supplies on the road are enough to pay the players. As missions are issued, not only the players have missions and earn money, but also the army.
After getting enough food and grass, you don’t have to spend too much extra money on your budget.
As expected by Zeng Yi, things have come to this point. The army has entered Tubo, and the imperial court naturally provides full support.
Players have long known that the Southwest Army has such a large-scale operation. For ordinary players, there are battlefields everywhere, and the Southwest Army is not worth paying too much attention to. But for the major guilds in the Western Region, it can be
It will be different.
The southwest army invaded Tubo, which made Jingfeng, Hua Qianyuexia and others extremely happy. Once Tubo was destroyed, the Persian army in the Western Regions would be faced with enemies from both sides and must mobilize large armies to defend the Central Plains army. In that case, all the armies in the Western Regions would
The pressure from a large guild is much less!
Mingjiao quickly released a supply mission. The missions released by Mingjiao not only include the rewards provided by the court, but also the contribution of Mingjiao. This is very attractive to Mingjiao players, but with good treatment, the corresponding task requirements are also
It's just too high, unless all the grain and grass are transported to the front line, and if there is loss, part of the reward will be deducted.
But these requirements could not stop the players' enthusiasm. Soon the army received sufficient supplies. After receiving the supplies, the army's marching speed finally increased. After untold hardships, the southwest army finally carried
Artillery, kill Luozie.
Luoche had been heavily armed by Tubo, and even the outer defense lines had been deployed very hard. When the army arrived near Luoche, they were not in a hurry to attack immediately. After so many days, the army was exhausted along the way, and they had to fight.
take a break.
The Southwest Army did not rush to attack. Tubo launched the attack first. That night, Tubo actually organized a group of troops to take the initiative to attack the Southwest Army camp at night.
Fortunately, Zeng Yi and the others had made preparations in advance. For the safety of the artillery, they placed the Mingjiao Five Elements Flag near the artillery unit. The Five Elements Flags were all martial arts people. They were all very alert. They quickly discovered the Tubo night attack.
, then the 50,000-strong Mingjiao army took action directly and shattered the Tubo people's conspiracy.
Tubo had no choice. Knowing the power of artillery, they thought of many ways to limit the artillery, but the plan could not be implemented. Finally, they gritted their teeth and mobilized a group of soldiers without night blindness to form a team with the troops from Persia.
They wanted to take advantage of the moment when the southwest army was tired to launch an attack and destroy some artillery, but they didn't want to encounter the Mingjiao troops, causing the plan to completely fail.
After a night's rest, the next day, the army launched an attack on the capital of Tubo. The Tubo people's defense was still very good. The peripheral defense offensives were staggered, which greatly hindered the army's attack. If they wanted to attack,
To defeat Luoche, we must first deal with the peripheral defenses of Luoche.
At the beginning, the army attacked, but found that the Tibetan archers were well covered. It could be seen that Persia really supported the Tubo with a lot of bows and arrows. The army attacked several times, but could not conquer those offensives. They simply opened the way with artillery behind them.
, clear those fortifications bit by bit.
Facing the artillery, the Tubo people had no choice but to watch helplessly as the fortifications were cleared bit by bit. After a few days, the Tubo people could no longer bear it and voluntarily evacuated the outer fortifications, and everyone withdrew their troops.
The southwest army, consisting of hundreds of thousands of troops, finally reached the gates of Luoxue City.
As the last hope of Tibet, the defenders are still very tenacious. After several battles, the Tibetans have figured out some ways to deal with artillery. They have built many facilities similar to air raid shelters on the city walls, covered with
With this thick soil, the artillery of the Southwest Army really can't break through such a facility.
Often when the artillery was unleashed, the Tibetan defenders would hide in air-raid shelters. As soon as the artillery stopped, these people would come out to deal with the siege of the southwest army. Faced with this situation, the southwest army also thought of using the Mingjiao thick soil flag to attack the city.
Enter Luosu, but Luosu is different from other places, the ground is full of frozen soil!
