The barbarian army invaded the Central Plains, the southern border was lost, war broke out in many places, and the situation was extremely chaotic.
The foreign invaders rushed in, spreading like a wild land to the towns in the south. They were cruel and cruel, burning, killing and looting without doing anything. When the local people in the Central Plains heard the news, they were all panic-stricken.
Nowadays, the fringe towns in the southern border of the Central Plains are experiencing a mass exodus. Those who are able to escape the war are fleeing to the interior with their families and families.
Countless people in the southern border have left their homes and moved long distances to avoid the war.
At the same time, the million-strong army of the Thirteen-Nation Alliance, which looks like a coastline, opened up a long snake formation on the southern border. They marched steadily and marched together, moving firmly and quickly to sweep away.
Because of this, the people of the Central Plains were driven by the barbarian army to flee inland like ducks.
So far, the million-strong army of the Thirteen-Nation Alliance has penetrated into the southern border area and captured countless border towns. In just a few dozen days, they occupied more than 90,000 square meters of Han land that should belong to the Central Plains.
.
However, the million-strong army of the Thirteen-Nation Alliance did not stop their march. They still maintained their front line and advanced step by step, constantly invading villages and small towns in the south.
Their armies were like a tsunami attacking, and like locusts crossing the border, sweeping across the entire area.
Although the residents of the southern border who were invaded by the barbarian army spontaneously formed a resistance army to resist the invasion of foreign invaders.
Unfortunately, the barbarian army was so numerous that the rebels were unable to stop them.
Most of the rebels met the same fate as Si Wenchen, Luo Man and others. Not to mention fighting the main force of the barbarians, even an advance team of a thousand enemy soldiers could wipe out this insignificant group of rebels.
There are quite a lot of rebels formed spontaneously by the residents of the southern border, and most of them were forced to become rebels.
After all, the barbarian army is extremely vicious, and if you don't stand up to resist, you will only die.
However, the resistance forces formed spontaneously by the residents of the southern border are scattered throughout the war zone. Their current situation is like a candle in the wind, and they may be discovered and wiped out at any time.
At present, the resistance force formed spontaneously by the residents of the southern border cannot forcefully attack the barbarian enemies. They can only act secretly to rescue their compatriots in distress in the Central Plains.
The only advantage of the rebels is that they have lived in the south all year round, are familiar with the local environment and geography, and can hide and deal with the barbarian army.
The million-strong army of the Thirteen Kingdom Alliance has not attacked the southern capital for the time being. They have only captured small villages and towns, captured local people, and plundered local supplies.
After the barbarian army occupied small villages and small towns, they continued to advance deeper into the southern border, so that several southern capital cities fell into a state of isolation and helplessness.
It is true that the barbarian army did not ignore the southern capital. They adopted the strategy of surrounding but not attacking, allowing the southern capital to surrender on its own.
At this time, the isolated southern capital city was located in the strategic area of the barbarian army, and they did not receive any support.
As long as the barbarian army's invasion of the southern border goes smoothly, there is no need for them to waste their energy attacking the capital.
The barbarian army only had to trap them for ten days and a half, and the southern capital city had no water or food, so it was natural for them to be defeated without attacking.
Never mind that it would be more cost-effective for the commander-in-chief of the southern capital to go out to fight or surrender, rather than attacking the capital directly.
Previously, Han Qiumiao speculated that the reason why the Thirteen-Nation Alliance chose this time to invade the Central Plains was because it was the harvest season.
As summer turned to autumn, the grains were nearing maturity. Before the people in the south had time to harvest, the barbarian army crossed the border and attacked.
In this way, the expeditionary force of the Thirteen-Nation Alliance can not only ensure military supplies by using local materials, but also make the people of the Central Plains in the south suffer from hardship.
Once there is a famine in the Central Plains, it will fall into a situation of internal and external troubles. At that time, it will be up to the Han army in the Central Plains to see what they can do to fight them.
The offensive of the barbarian army was not unsatisfactory. The commanders of the thirteen countries each held an army, like thirteen sharp knives, driving straight into the southern border of the Central Plains.
So, after the million-strong army of the Thirteen-Nation Alliance invaded the southern border of the Central Plains with great momentum, did they encounter any obstacles or setbacks during their march?
The answer is of course...yes.
When the barbarian army invaded the southern border, they encountered strong counterattacks from two forces.
Now the question arises, where do these two forces come from? Are they a resistance force composed of residents of the southern border?
To be honest, if we really want to stop the barbarian army from advancing, the resistance army formed spontaneously by the residents of the southern border will be enough. At this time, they have nothing to do but try their best to save their lives and rescue some compatriots in distress.
The resistance forces scattered all over the southern border have not yet played any role.
After all, these resistance forces composed of southern residents all fought on their own, unable to inform each other or assist each other. All parties fought alone and could not have any impact on the barbarian army.
When the barbarian army invaded the southern border of the Central Plains, the Pingxi Army under the command of King Xijun was the first to launch a counterattack and inflict the first defeat on the Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance army.
The first person to defeat the barbarian army was not Zhou Xingyun, but Prince Zhenyi who was located in the western border of the Central Plains.
When the million-strong army of the Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance entered the southern border of the Central Plains with overwhelming force, the barbarian army located on the western border of the Central Plains and led by General Danxia was in the process of besieging the capital of the southern border, and was defeated by the Pingxi Army that came unexpectedly.
Caught off guard.
King Xijun seemed to have been well prepared. When the general of Danxia Kingdom arrived at Jiding City near the southern border and divided his troops to launch a siege, he allowed the Pingxi Army to cross the border and surprise Danxia Kingdom's commander's camp.
Under normal circumstances, the Pingxi Army under the command of King Xijun cannot send troops to cross over to the southern border without the permission of the Holy Lord and King Zhennan. Because this behavior will be regarded as treason...
It is true that one moment and another moment, extraordinary situations call for extraordinary measures.
Jiding City was besieged on all sides and was being made dumplings by the barbarian army. The hundreds of thousands of Central Plains people in the city had nowhere to escape and could only huddle in the city and defend it.
The commander-in-chief of the Danxia Kingdom believed that if they could capture Jiding City, they could use it as a stronghold to consolidate the entire front, making it impregnable and conducive to the army's continued advancement.
The commander-in-chief of the Danxia Kingdom wanted to capture Jiding City as soon as possible, so they used the Central Plains people captured on their march to force Jiding City to open its gates.
When Zhou Xingyun and others traveled to the Western Continent, the cruel methods used by the Alat Bandit to attack Maiba Fort were now frequently performed in towns across the southern border.
People trapped in the southern capital city can hear the wails of their compatriots outside the city all the time, and spend every day and night in despair.
Although the main force of the Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance did not attack the southern capital in person, they all used their own methods to force the commanders stationed in the capital to surrender.
You must know that the benefits brought by conquering a southern capital city are countless times better than conquering small villages and towns.
To put it bluntly, the profits obtained from the small villages and towns plundered by the barbarian army were not even a fraction of those from a capital city in the south.
Almost all the best things in the southern region are hoarded in the capital, regardless of wealth or beauties.
Furthermore, according to the agreement of the Thirteen-Nation Alliance, whoever conquers the capital will own the territory and wealth of the capital.
The commander-in-chief of the Danxia Kingdom naturally did not want to miss this opportunity. Their team was considered to be the fastest and smoothest advance among the Thirteen-Nation Allied Forces.
In the opinion of the commander-in-chief of the Danxia Kingdom, he only needed to use the Central Plains people as cannon fodder, drive the prisoners to attack the city, and put pressure on the defenders of Jiding City. In a few days, the other side would surrender obediently.
After all, how could the Central Plains people who fled to Jiding City bear to see their relatives being ravaged and massacred outside the city?
In this way, the army under the command of Danxia Kingdom was stationed near Jiding City, hoping that after capturing the capital, they could directly enter Jiding City and use it as a bridgehead to invade the Central Plains.
Of course, the army under the command of the Danxia Kingdom was stationed on the outskirts of Jiding City, and the march of the barbarian army did not stop because of this.
Except for the army of Danxia Kingdom, the other barbarian soldiers continued to advance according to the original plan and invaded the territory of the Central Plains as soon as possible.
There are two reasons for this. First, the more territory they occupy before the Central Plains organizes a counterattack, the greater the advantage they will have over our army.
Second, the Thirteen Route Armies of the Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance, on the surface, appear to be each army responsible for attacking an area.
In fact, the division of this area is very vague. If he does not seize the territory in time, the army next door will come over and take over the territory that should belong to him.
The commander-in-chief of the Danxia Kingdom has received the news. The leaders of the other twelve armies are stationed near the southern capital with their own main forces. While putting pressure on the southern capital, they are letting the rest of the non-national troops continue to attack the southern border.
small villages and towns.
Anyway, small villages and towns don't have much profit to gain, so getting some oil and water for the soldiers of other countries can be regarded as a reward for them.
As long as they can regularly turn over the looted military supplies in accordance with regulations and maintain the operation of the large army, they will distribute the rest by themselves.
The commander-in-chief of Danxia Kingdom had a good idea, but he ignored one issue, that is, unlike the other armies of the Twelve Routes, the northwest was not a friendly army, but the territory of the West Commandery King.
Perhaps, the commander-in-chief of Danxia Kingdom knew this in his heart, but he thought that King Xijun would not react so quickly.
The barbarian army raided the southern border, and even the king of Zhennan was unable to react, let alone the king of the western border.
Furthermore, as mentioned above, the king of Xijun rashly sent troops to the southern border without the permission of the Holy Emperor and the king of Zhennan. This was an act of rebellion.
Taking everything into consideration, the commander-in-chief of Danxia Kingdom did not care about the power of King Xijun, and led his country's expeditionary force to station on the outskirts of Jiding City.
However, even though he said this, the commander-in-chief of Danxia Kingdom still had some reservations.
The commander-in-chief of the Danxia Kingdom thought about it for a long time, and finally sent several Danxia Kingdom Rongguang Martial Lords to lurk on the border of the Western Territory to monitor the movements of the Western Territory forces.
The commander-in-chief of Danxia Kingdom was very cautious, but he still underestimated the means and courage of King Xijun.
If they encounter an ordinary army, the glorious warriors of Danxia Kingdom will naturally be able to deal with it easily and return to the camp in time to report the situation to the commander-in-chief of Danxia Kingdom.
However, if the opponent they encounter is a strong person from ancient and modern times, the situation will be different.
A few glorious warriors from the Danxia Kingdom would probably never come back if they encountered the six ancient and modern masters of the Central Plains.
