Chapter 477: Facing the Ghost Kou
The battle has just begun, and it will soon be over!
The 30,000 Ying Heavenly Army was drastically reduced by the interception of men and horses from all walks of life, and each team quickly eliminated the enemy army in front of them as quickly as a game.
Chen Jiasheng rushed all the way to kill, and Ruan Hongfeng met in a narrow way, the two generals attacked each other, but the strength was between the two and the middle, and the fight was inseparable, and the pro-army next to Chen Jiasheng became fewer and fewer, when the God of War Regiment turned its head and launched a charge again, it was only such a short period of time, and the remaining 30,000 Ying Tianjun was less than 10,000.
This is an ambush battle with a huge disparity in numbers, the Shuntian army dispatched 70,000 troops, including the elite supported by the various forces on the Longmen list, and the difference in strength is also huge, the strength of the Shuntian coalition army is on average one level higher than the Yingtian army, and the battle naturally presents a one-sided situation. This was the greatest victory of the Suncheon Empire since the Oncheon Empire launched a war against the Suncheon Empire.
The 70,000 allied forces annihilated all 30,000 Ying Tian troops at a very small cost. The leader, Chen Jiasheng, was almost captured, and when he saw that the general situation was gone, he swung his knife and killed himself.
After the results of the battle were reported to the Celestial Empire, the court was shaken, and the main battle faction headed by the Chen family demanded that the imperial court continue to increase troops, and must exert greater pressure on the Shuntian Empire, not only to recapture Linhan Prefecture, but also to continue to expand the results of the war; the Zhao royal family was unwilling to continue to send troops, because the treasury was empty, and it did not have the conditions to start a war, and if it continued to increase investment in the war, the burden on the country would be too heavy to support. In addition, the current power differentiation of the Chen family over the Zhao family is too serious, and if it supports sending troops, it will further enhance the power of the Chen family in the Yingtian Empire, which is not a result that the Zhao royal family is willing to see.
Officials loyal to the royal family also advocated that they should accept what they saw, after all, the essence of war is a competition of national strength, and benefiting from war is the main reason for waging war. Now that the Yingtian Empire has occupied a state of the Shuntian Empire, plus a state city, it is difficult to expand the results of the war, and there is a tendency to sink deeper and deeper, after rational analysis, they believe that even if they increase their troops, it will be difficult to get a satisfactory result. Even if the court of the Shuntian Empire is in chaos now, it is impossible to organize effective resistance, but don't forget, there is a Optimus Pillar in the Great Northwest that is still immovable, that is, the Marquis Li Fu, who commands the Northwest, has not yet moved, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the northern region of the Shuntian Empire was invaded by nomads before, and it was the army of the Northwest Hou who played a decisive role, and the crown prince Li He just picked up a ready-made big bargain and robbed the credit that did not belong to him. Once the Northwest Marquis moves his troops south, it is really a big question whether the current results of the Yingtian Empire can be saved.
The Yingtian Empire also has another concern, that is, the hidden danger of the ghost domain. Although the devils of the Ghost Domain are currently mainly active in the eastern part of the Shuntian Empire, once too many troops are deployed, and the Ghost Kou takes advantage of the situation, the Yingtian Empire will fall into the embarrassing situation of fighting on both sides.
The head of the Chen family knew in his heart that this worry was simply superfluous, and the ghost domain disturbing the Shuntian Empire was originally an agreement between the organization behind him and the ghost domain, but Chen Xingyuan couldn't announce the collusion between their organization and the ghost domain, he could only blindly guarantee that the ghost domain would not threaten the Yingtian Empire, but his unreasonable self-confidence could not be trusted by others, but he felt that Chen Xingyuan was too naïve.
The last reason why the Zhao royal family is reluctant to continue to expand the scale of the war is that the Chengtian Empire, which is located in the southwest, has not moved, and the competition between the snipe and the clam is too expensive.
Faced with this problem, Chen Xingyuan was also uneasy, although the organization he joined included many powerful forces, but the Chengtian Empire has been unmoved, that is, he did not participate in the action against the Shuntian Empire, and he did not say that he would not pick peaches afterwards. Regarding the attitude of the Chengtian Empire, the organization behind Chen Xingyuan is also very helpless, but the Chengtian Empire has a special geographical location, and it cannot attack from all sides like dealing with the Shuntian Empire, and the Chengtian Empire is not comparable to the forces of the rivers and lakes, it is not something that can be eliminated casually, for this uncertain factor, the organization that Chen Xingyuan joined must also be vigilant.
The Chengtian Empire also knew in his heart that now the three parties were in a delicate balance, and if the Shuntian Empire was broken, he would be the next unlucky. If we believe that the organization behind Chen Xingyuan will say that they will jointly rule the world after this thing is done, it is really too naïve! Could it be that the Chengtian Empire does not control a part of this world now? No matter how the organization behind the scenes lobbied, the Chengtian Empire just did not go along with them.
The Shuntian Empire was different, when they got the good news of the great victory in the southwest, the struggle for the throne between the DPRK and China immediately cooled down, and all parties died down, and secretly immediately sent capable generals to the southwest, wanting to contact this powerful force in advance, and strive to incorporate this force into their own camp and become an important bargaining chip for their own position.
It's a pity that their wishful thinking crackled, but Ye Heng had already led nearly 50,000 troops to Jinzhou, making the representatives of all parties in the DPRK and China pounce.
After the Shuntian Empire wiped out the 30,000 Yingtian army, Chen Xingyuan's newly entangled troops that had just been replenished to Quanshouzhou were wiped out, and Quanshouzhou and Lintai City returned to their previous state, as long as they continued to implement the tactics provided by the Lin family, they could support the Yingtian army, so Ye Heng was very relieved to go.
Reinforcements from all sides came to Lugou Village, making this small village, which was originally unknown, immediately become the focus of Jinzhou. When the 50,000-strong army marched eastward, how could it be hidden from everyone's eyes? When the people of Jinzhou learned that a large army had come to fight against the ghosts, they wept with joy and rushed to tell each other, and some surrounding villages and towns that had been brutalized by the ghosts and gangsters and small villages with a small number of people immediately migrated to Lugou Village, and a large number of people immediately gathered in this originally small village.
Ye Heng was helpless, he couldn't ignore these ordinary people who were in dire straits, so he had to discuss with everyone and plan the land to resettle these civilians who had fled. After all the reinforcements arrived in Jinzhou, the first time was not to fight with ghosts, but to help these people build houses. Because winter is coming, once the temperature plummets, it is not advisable to break ground, so it is necessary to seize the time to carry out construction, and in any case, let everyone have a place to live.
Lugou Village suddenly came with such a huge armed force, so naturally it couldn't hide the eyes of the ghosts. Don't look at the ghost Kou doing things that have lost his conscience in the Tianyun Continent, he is the public enemy of the whole people, but there are always some soft-boned untouchables who don't do it, and they have to be slaves to the ghosts as dogs, willing to work for them, lose their conscience, betray their country, and exchange the lives and blood of their compatriots for their glory and wealth. Such people look down on them even if they are ghosts, they just call them like dogs, they desperately stammer with ghosts, not ashamed, but proud.
It was these dogs dressed in the human skins of the Heavenly Fortune Continent who quickly passed the news of Ye Heng's location to the ghost kou. Before Ye Heng took the initiative to find trouble with the ghost kou, the ghost kou was already planning to eliminate the 50,000 horses in Lugou Village. Fortunately, the Lin family has been monitoring the ghost kou, and the intelligence of the drunken dream building is also timely, as soon as the ghost kou acts, Ye Heng received news from the two parties.
"This group of devils is really rampant enough, we haven't gone to find trouble with them, we sent them to the door ourselves, there's nothing to say, beat him!" Ye Heng gathered the leaders of all parties together, and after explaining the situation, the bald Li said with a sneer.
"What the bald Li said is right, my big knife that dominates the knife gate specializes in cutting treacherous and unrighteous people, and for these devils who have violated my great rivers and mountains, I must cut off their dog heads!" agreed.
"Yes, yes, yes, we must subdue them and beat them to fear, and we will never dare to think about my Heavenly Fortune Continent in the future! Our Lei family's thunder has always been a forbidden thing in the rivers and lakes, and it has accumulated a lot over the years.
Everyone agreed, and they all agreed to take this opportunity to fight the ghosts.
"Since everyone has agreed to fight with the ghost robbers, let's discuss how to fight this battle!" Ye Heng saw the excitement of the crowd and immediately led the meeting to the next topic.
The ghost coars approached Lugou Village quietly in three directions, and their actions were still as cautious as before, walking day and night, thinking that people were very secretive without knowing the ghosts, but they didn't know that the lone wolf that passed inadvertently in the mountains and wilderness, and the killer hidden in the shadows, already knew their whereabouts well.
The latest news of the whereabouts of the ghost Kou continued to be transmitted back to the headquarters where Ye Heng and the other leaders were located, and everyone depicted the corresponding locations on the map.
"This group of about 20,000 people is surrounded by the Oniko from the northeast, and the reason why the other two teams are marching slowly is that they are waiting for them. If this ghost gang wants to outflank us from behind, they must pass through here!" Ye Heng pointed to the location on the map and said, everyone followed his fingers to look over, the map showed that this was a mountain range, and the terrain was very complicated.
"We will follow the countermeasures discussed before, and send 30,000 horses and horses to rush here to fight a war of annihilation!" Ye Heng raised his head and said.
"Surprise attack its unpreparedness, the ghost will never think that we will take the initiative, as long as this team is severely damaged, destroy their flanking momentum, I see how they can contain us, he thinks beautifully!" said the bald Li loudly.
"Alright, let's send troops to attack, it's almost dawn, and the ghosts are going to find a place to hide, they will shrink up and not move, we will just catch them all!" said the leader of the Thor.
"The intention of the Demon Bandit is supposed to be to sneak up on us tonight, and we will use this time difference to destroy them first!" said the leader of the Overlord Sect.
The army of ghosts is dispatched, and such a large operation is naturally afraid of revealing their whereabouts, after all, it is fighting in a foreign land, and this is the largest military operation so far, so be extremely careful. Ghost Kou's carefulness delayed precious time, creating opportunities for Ye Heng and the others to break through.
"Then according to the configuration agreed in advance, each team will set off immediately. Ye Heng said to everyone, and then everyone walked out of the headquarters collectively.
The 30,000-strong army was all cavalry, and the leaders of all parties personally went into battle and led their troops out, and the remaining 20,000 horses were stationed in Lugou Village in case of changes.
The previous harassment of the Shuntian Empire by the Ghost Kou was mainly based on small groups of people, and it was rare for a team of more than a thousand people to be dispatched, and this operation against Lugou Village could be said to be a big operation that the Ghost Kou had been planning for a long time, and they wanted to take the opportunity to show their muscles to the Heavenly Fortune Continent and turn the battle from the dark to the light.
After a long period of destroying the villages and towns of the Shuntian Empire, they gathered a large amount of supplies, believing that their strategic reserves were sufficient, and had been looking for suitable targets to start a big operation, and the 50,000 troops of Lugou Village happened to be chosen by them as the prey to show their fangs.
In their opinion, Lugou Village is no bigger city than Jinzhou, there is no strong city, and the 50,000 troops here have no danger to rely on, which is conducive to their attack; moreover, the long-term cruelty to the people of the Shuntian Empire has made them blindly arrogant, thinking that the combat strength of the Shuntian Empire is no more than that, and as long as they raid Lugou Village with heavy troops, they will definitely be able to achieve a great victory. It's just that they haven't launched an attack yet, the forces of the Shuntian Empire have already found them, and the real battle between the Shuntian Empire and the Ghost Kou is about to begin!
