Zhili's 800,000-strong army is already too many, and the 100,000-strong southeastern rebel army must be added to it.
No matter whether it is at Tianlang Pass or at the Fenglei Fort defense line, the two places combined cannot accommodate so many troops.
So, Ji Li ordered an army of 900,000 troops to attack Tianshui City from three sides: Linhai City in the north, Fengleibao defense line in the west, and Tianlang Pass in the south!
The Duke of Turing Tuo led a Chinese army of 450,000 to attack the defense line of Fenglei Castle. The main components of this army were the Dragon Guard Army, the coalition forces of the princes, and the Shaojun Mansion Army.
Jian Ze, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Army, led an army of 200,000 people on the right to attack Tianlang Pass. The main composition of this army was the Southwest Army, and there were also 100,000 Southeast rebel troops.
Chu Ye, the commander of the Northern Army, led an army of 250,000 on the left, setting off directly from Nujiang Province to attack Linhai City. Once Linhai City was captured, they would then go directly south from Linhai City and cross the Nujiang River to attack Tianshui City. This army
The main components are the Northern Army and the Ten Provinces Allied Forces.
The force composition in Sauron's hands is: Silver Wolf Legion plus Tianshui City Guards, which will expand to more than 50,000 people.
The Rouran City reinforcements led by Ashiliren numbered more than 20,000 people.
The captured Zhiwei army in the last extermination war returned to the coalition forces. After reorganization, the new army consisted of more than 80,000 people.
There is also a newly reorganized Rock Bandit Legion with more than 50,000 people.
Fifty thousand reinforcements from Hai Gang on Yingzhou Island.
The number of troops that Sauron could directly command reached 200,000. Sauron still could not trust Haigang's 50,000 reinforcements, so he transferred all of them from the navy to the army and went to Rock Island to guard the Rock Salt Fields.
Among the 200,000 troops, Sauron will also allocate 30,000 people to maintain order at sea. After all, he is the new overlord of the East China Sea.
Sauron was able to truly put into battle only 170,000 people, less than one-fifth of the Li army.
As for the defense of the main city of Tianshui, as well as its numerous workshops, warehouses, etc., it can only be maintained by the 30,000 to 40,000 second-line civilian troops.
In this decisive battle, the total number of troops invested by both sides reached 1.1 million, which was more than twice the number of people in the land of tens of thousands of square kilometers in Tianshui City.
…
In the last war, the main reason why Zhiwei's Southeast Army was completely destroyed was that the retreat was cut off, all the bridges on the Tianshui River were destroyed, and the river guarding camp was completely annihilated.
This time, it is absolutely impossible for Zhili to make such a mistake.
He used tens of thousands of people to pave the Tianshui River alive.
You read that right, the river surface which is dozens of meters wide and four miles long has been paved directly!
How to pave it, connect countless wooden bridges in parallel, and cover the entire river!
Thousands of thick trees were used as bridge piles, which were nailed deeply into the river bed, and then trees dozens of meters long were used as bridges. Three-inch thick wooden boards were used as bridge decks!
This is no longer a pontoon bridge, it is completely impregnable. Not to mention war horses can pass smoothly, even large siege vehicles can pass smoothly!
In order to pave the four-mile-long river, it took tens of thousands of people away for more than ten days, and hundreds of people died.
Not only that, Lili also sent troops to build watchtowers on the tops of both sides. Each watchtower has more than a dozen top shooters!
If Sauron's griffons dare to fly in and attack the river bridge, they will definitely die one by one.
Li Li also spent astronomical sums of money to hire dozens of dragon archers from the Dragon Temple, Tianxing Temple and Hades Society, specifically to deal with the gryphon beasts that Sauron might come to attack.
Not only that, Li Li also prepared dozens of giant wooden towers, each with a super crossbow. This kind of crossbow can have a range of six to seven hundred meters, and the giant arrows it shoots will explode in the air, emitting a powerful
Toxic smoke.
Even after achieving such an extreme level, Zhi Li was still not at ease, so he borrowed five gryphon beasts from Yinzhou, Yaozhou, and Shenlong Temple.
Although the number is not large, only one-third of Sauron's, at least Sauron's griffons cannot come and go freely.
In short, Li Li used all means to protect the air superiority of the entire army.
…
Last time, the reason why Zhiwei's Southeast Army was completely destroyed was largely due to the fire attack.
The Duke of Turingdor's tens of thousands of troops also died in Sauron's fire and oil battle.
As long as the army rushes to the city, astronomical amounts of fire oil will be poured on the city. In every battle, Sauron can use more than millions of kilograms of fire oil.
As for Sauron's fire oil tactics, Li Li was also prepared.
With a loan from Yinzhou, Lili purchased a huge amount of fireproof cloaks from Yaozhou!
Why is this fireproof cloak fireproof? No one knows, but it is indeed very magical. This cloak looks like no other fabric, but it will not burn even if it is placed on fire.
This is Yaozhou's exclusive technology, and of course it is extremely expensive.
A fireproof cloak costs three gold coins, which is equivalent to RMB 45,000.
Li Li immediately bought 130,000 pieces of fireproof cloaks.
Of course, this quantity is still not enough to equip the main army. Therefore, Li Li also purchased a large number of heat shields and an astronomical amount of fire extinguishing powder.
Although this still cannot completely resist Sauron's sea of fire tactics, there must be no problem in capturing Tianshui City, but the casualties will be greater.
Of course, Li Li knew that Sauron also had a secret weapon, which was thunder, or gunpowder.
This weapon is currently unsolvable!
However, according to past combat examples, the firing frequency of Sauron's trebuchets is very low. Although the thunderbolts explode with amazing power, their lethality is far inferior to that of kerosene.
Judging from the battlefield at Gui Xing Fu on Rock Island and the battlefield at Fenglei Castle's defense line, the casualties caused by Bang Tian Lei were only about one-fifth to one-tenth that of Kerosene.
Therefore, regarding Sauron's sky-shattering thunder, one can only put aside the fear in his heart and just rush towards it.
For this war, Li Li has spent everything he has!
It was signed by the cabinet and paid by the treasury. Wangcheng Jinhao advanced 900,000 gold coins for military expenses, and the Yinyuanhui borrowed 350,000 gold coins.
Moreover, the Turing family, nineteen princes, and many nobles all contributed money.
The Tully family of Luanyang City spent all their money and spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
The previous generation of kings expanded thousands of miles of territory, and their annual military expenditure was only more than one million gold coins.
In order to destroy Sauron, Li Li launched three wars. This decisive battle cost 1.8 million gold coins.
…
In the separated Chinese army camp!
In this national expedition, Ji Li brought almost all the senior generals, all the nobles above the viscount level, all the princes and heirs.
He wants to defeat Sauron and chop off Sauron's head in front of all the ruling classes in the world! He wants to show his domineering power and glory as a king in front of everyone!
At this time, Jieli entertained hundreds of nobles, generals, and princes as usual.
"Report, left-wing military information, urgent!"
Suddenly, a scout rushed in quickly, knelt down and said: "Your Highness, the commander of the left wing army, Earl Chu Ye, has conquered the entire Linhai City territory. He is invincible and has killed countless people!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence!
Li Li stood up and said: "Sure enough? I remember that Earl Chu Ye entered Linhai City from Nujiang Province. It only took four days, right, and he already won a complete victory?"
The scout said: "A great victory. The main city of Linhai and all the high-level warrior territories were captured by our army. The port of Linhai City was also captured. In this battle, our army wiped out tens of thousands of enemies!"
"Okay!" Ji Li said with great joy: "Sauron's army is very strong, but it is so vulnerable at this time. It can be seen that the wall fell and everyone pushed back, how low their morale is?"
The nobles and princes present all bowed and saluted, saying: "Your Highness is so mighty that all Sauron's thieves fled when they saw it!"
"Congratulations to Your Highness for taking back the main city of Linhai!"
"Congratulations to Your Highness for regaining the lost ground!"
All of a sudden, all the civil servants, military officers, princes and nobles were flattering each other.
Li Li is indeed very proud!
Before his army arrived, the entire Southeast Province had already changed its banner and driven away Sauron's army. (That's what the shameless civil servants in the Southeast Province said. Sauron didn't give up the Southeast Province on his own initiative, but was forced to leave the Southeast Province.
They gathered an army and were defeated and drove away.)
Zhili knew it well, but who wouldn't want to hear good words?
Now, the entire Linhai City has been completely recovered.
He had already won most of this battle before it really started.
And Sauron vomited out all the chips he had won with blood, and lost the Southeast Province, and now even Linhai City!
"Hahahaha..." Li Li laughed and said, "Now I really want to know what Gui Xinghui is thinking in his heart. It's a pity that Gui Qinshao was conferred by me as the Lord of Linhai City just a few days after being canonized by Sauron.
Taken away."
"Yes..." Fu Qi said: "The throne of Linhai City Lord, Gui Qinshao, this sexy and charming big butt was taken away by His Highness just a few days after she was done. She must have regretted following Sauron.
Now her sexy ass is empty, won’t Your Highness please satisfy it?”
This is an obscene thing to say, but as long as you attack Sauron now, no matter how obscene it is, it is politically correct.
Sure enough, when Zhi Li heard it, he burst into laughter.
Then, Ji Li said with a solemn expression: "Order Earl Chu Ye to immediately go south from Linhai City, cross the Nu River, and attack Tianshui City!"
"Yes!" Immediately, a captain-level scout leader rode a griffin beast and headed for Linhai City.
Li Li then ordered: "Now, the Tianshui River has been completely paved by me, as if walking on flat ground. The army marches forward and approaches the defense line of Fenglei Fort!"
"According to the order!" the generals headed by the Duke of Turingto shouted in unison.
Two hours later!
The 450,000-strong Zhili Chinese Army was so vast that it covered the sky and the sun and crossed Tianshui City as if they were walking on flat ground.
The troops are approaching the defense line of Feng Lei Fort!
…
Has Linhai City really fallen?
Yes, it really fell!
However, what Chu Ye said about being invincible is also true, because there is no resistance at all!
Sauron has completely given up on the main city of Linhai and all high-level warrior territories!
As for what Chu Ye said about killing countless people, it is true, but they are just killing good people and taking credit. A random group of people came and said that you were colluding with Sauron and that you were Sauron's army hidden in Linhai City, and then they killed them with one knife.
!
It has been several months since Linhai City was captured by Sauron, and there are still many voices secretly opposing Sauron.
In addition, Sauron never deliberately tries to please and appease the people, so people in Linhai City still yearn for the kingdom and resist Sauron.
Therefore, when the Li army came, Sauron not only abandoned the southeastern provinces, but also completely abandoned Linhai City.
So when Count Chu Ye entered Linhai City, he was treated like a king. Many wealthy families and people came to greet him.
However, Earl Chu Ye felt that taking Linhai City like this was too boring and the credit was not enough.
So, he directly referred to the deer as a horse and cut off tens of thousands of heads.
The killing of the wealthy families and people in Linhai City made them cry like ghosts and howls like wolves, and they regretted it so much.
If they had known that the Li army was so cruel and unruly, they should have kept Sauron's army and supported Sauron long ago.
Now that Linhai City has been abandoned, where is the defense line to the north of Sauron?
On the south bank of the Nu River, Sauron destroyed the suspension bridge, and then within more than two months, dozens of bunker groups were built and countless trenches were dug.
The entire Nujiang defense line stretches for more than ten miles and is stationed with 50,000 troops, countless powerful crossbows, ten griffons, and hundreds of artillery pieces.
It is hoped that this Nujiang defense line can be used to resist Chu Ye's 250,000-strong army and not let any of his soldiers enter Tianshui City.
…
"Husband, I heard that Linhai City has fallen, and I haven't been the Lord of Linhai City for a few days." Gui Qinshao said as she snuggled into Sauron's arms.
She acted coquettishly on purpose. After she became the city lord, she never went there for a day.
"In this position, I lost it before my butt was even hot. You have to compensate me." Gui Qinshao said while adjusting Sauron's robe.
"How can I compensate you?" Sauron asked.
Gui Qinshao said with charming eyes: "Kiss my ass."
"It's almost enough if I take one bite." Sauron said.
As a result, this woman actually lay down gently and lifted up her skirt, revealing a full moon as white as gelatin.
Sauron took a bite on it.
Gui Qinshao was emotional, turned around and kissed Sauron on the mouth and said: "Husband, after you win, I won't go to Tianshui City. I will stay with you every day. If you go to the Royal City, I will also go to the Royal City."
.”
Soran gently stroked her slightly bulging belly and looked at her beautiful face that looked plump due to pregnancy.
Some women's faces become more beautiful after pregnancy.
Gui Qinshao is such a woman. She was originally as gorgeous as fire, but now that she is pregnant, she is still as gorgeous as ever, but she is a little more graceful.
Sauron kissed her petal-like mouth, then turned around and walked out.
At this time, Fu Yan'er, who was behind the door, looked at him pitifully, like a stepmother.
She shamelessly pestered Sauron before, but after she became pregnant, she began to act pitiful and aggrieved.
Sauron stepped forward, gently held her in his arms, and kissed her on the forehead.
Immediately, Fu Yan'er was ecstatic, and boundless happiness surged over her. This was the first time Sauron had kissed her.
"Giggle..." Xiao Qinqin next to her giggled when she saw it.
Sauron knelt down, held Qinqin's soft little body in his arms, and kissed her on the top of her head.
As for my sister Suoning Bing, she was already praying in the quiet room.
She will not leave until the war is over.
"Take good care of mom, you know?" Sauron patted Qinqin's little face, then left the city lord's palace, mounted the griffin beast, and flew towards the defense line of Wind Thunder Castle!
…
When Sauron's Griffin landed on the defense line of Wind Thunder Castle.
Just in time to see the 450,000-strong main force marching toward Fenglei Castle's defense line in a mighty manner.
It’s really a shocking scene!
Dozens of square kilometers of ground were all covered in black.
An army of 450,000 is truly boundless and difficult for birds to cross!
When the army advanced, it was really like a huge black wave, trying to submerge the defense line of the small Feng Lei Fort.
This method of warfare is actually unreasonable. How can so many troops be placed in such a small environment?
The 450,000 troops were almost equal to the entire population of Tianshui City.
From Tianshui River to Fengleibao defense line, it is only a few dozen miles.
However, it took six hours to walk these dozens of miles!
Finally, when night fell, the 450,000-strong army stopped three miles in front of Fenglei Castle's defense line!
This stretch of land four miles wide and thirty miles long was filled with hundreds of thousands of troops.
Dozens of dragon shooters climbed to the top of the mountain several hundred meters high on both sides, monitoring every airspace with their minds.
Four griffins hovered in the air, alert to any disturbance.
Dozens of giant crossbow towers were built to guard every airspace, preventing one of Sauron's griffins from breaking into the sky above the army.
This night, it was silent!
There was no movement at Sauron's Windlei Castle defense line.
There was no movement among the 450,000-strong army.
The tranquility before the decisive battle!
The air raid that Li Li was worried about did not happen. Because griffons are too rare and precious, Sauron would not send griffins to die in the face of such a terrible air defense.
…
Early the next morning, a passionate horn sounded!
"Hoo, ho, ho, ho..."
Luanyang City's 10,000 revenge army, all wearing white mourning uniforms, several hundred people pushed a huge high platform and moved towards Fenglei Fort's defense line.
Finally, it stopped five hundred meters away from the city wall of Fenglei Castle!
Then, a beautiful figure walked onto the platform more than ten meters high. She was Tully Yang's widow, Turing Duo!
She is also dressed in filial piety!
On the high platform, in addition to Turing Duo, there are more than 200 coffins, all of which are Luanyang City warriors who were killed during the last assassination of Tully Yang.
More than two hundred coffins were piled up on the entire high platform, which was horrifying to look at.
And Turing Duo stood among these coffins.
Under the high platform, 10,000 revenge troops surrounded the high platform and protected it!
"Sauron, you traitor, come out!" Turing Duo said sternly. She used the power of the dragon in her voice, which resounded throughout the entire Windlei Castle defense line.
In Wind Thunder Castle, Sauron stood on the steps.
Tully Yang and Tully Yang were standing behind him.
After Tully Yang heard Turing Duo's voice, his body suddenly trembled and he began to gasp for air.
Tu Liwen stepped forward, patted his son's head gently, and said softly: "Idiot, you must pass this level."
Tully Yang gritted his teeth almost bleeding and nodded vigorously.
"Sauron, you shameless traitor, you killed my father-in-law, you killed my husband, you were greedy for my beauty, you are so crazy, you are worse than a pig or a dog, how dare you do it? You don't even dare to confront me face to face?
"Outside, Turing Duo said sharply!
"Bitch, this bitch..." Tully Yang hissed in a low voice.
"Are you ready, let's go meet this bitch?" Sauron said with a smile, then opened the door, walked out, and fought face to face with Turing Duo.
