Chapter 160: War, Unleashed!
It takes almost a month for ordinary carriages and horses to travel from Pingjing City to Lihuo City, but the speed of the expedition is still much faster than that of ordinary carriages and horses, but even so, it will take at least more than 20 days to go to Lihuo City.
Dongfang Yunyang, as the supreme commander of the large army, spends most of his time in the carriage, and he rides in a luxurious car, which can be equivalent to a small room.
On the carriage, Dongfang Yunyang in addition to practicing and resting, the rest of the time is to discuss military strategy, although he has not yet arrived in Lihuo City, but the battle plan has been determined several sets before and after, as for the specific strategic plan to use at that time, it is based on the physical situation in the border area to make specific decisions.
Time is in the process of rushing, day after day.
Unconsciously, more than 20 days passed in a flash.
On this day, at dusk.
A majestic city loomed ahead of the large army.
Soon, someone reported to Dongfang Yunyang that Lihuo City was almost there.
Dongfang Yunyang opened the car door and glanced at the majestic city looming in the distance, and now this city is the destination of the expedition - Lihuo City.
Glass Fire City is an important military town at the intersection of the border between the Fire Country and the Fire Country, originally when the Fire Country was intact, Glass Fire City was not a military town, but a prosperous commercial town, but since the civil strife in the Fire City, the Glass Fire City has been controlled by several major forces, and now the Glass Fire City has become a military town.
Before the expedition was launched, Dongfang Yunyang had actually determined that the center of the Glass Fire City was the most launched against the Flame Country, and the reason why he chose Glass Fire City was because the Glass Fire City should have a very important strategic location, and on the other hand, because the corresponding area of the Glass Fire City was a relatively weak area of the Flame Country, according to the information obtained before, the Flame Country area corresponding to the Glass Fire City was a medium-status daimyo belonging to the Flame Country, and this daimyo belonged to the neutral faction in the current battle strength between the two major factions of the Flame Country, and it was obvious that the daimyo did not want to easily get involved in the dispute between the two major forcesIn addition, Dongfang Yunyang almost knows the situation of the area controlled by the daimyo, and in order to boost morale this time, he hopes that this first battle can be fought as beautifully as possible, giving the Fire Country and most of the expedition a confidence.
In the evening, the large army finally arrived at Glass Fire City.
Glass Fire City originally stationed a force of more than 20,000 people from the Fire Country, and this force was replaced by a ninja force of more than 100 people.
Dongfang Yunyang did not inform the defenders of Lihuo City at the beginning of the arrival of the large army of the expedition, and did not notify the defender generals until the arrival of the large army.
The general of the Lihuo garrison was very surprised to learn of the arrival of the large army, but he did not publicize it, and did not arrange for someone to greet him until shortly before the arrival of the large army in Lihuo City.
After the expedition arrived at Lihuo City, Lihuo City prepared a rather sumptuous dinner.
However, Dongfang Yunyang did not appear at the dinner, and he gave everyone an order not to drink alcohol during dinner.
As soon as the core high-ranking leaders of the expedition had finished dinner, they were summoned to a council hall.
Dongfang Yunyang still sat above the council hall and waited.
When everyone saw Dongfang Yunyang, they saluted respectfully one by one, and then sat down in the positions on both sides below.
After the personnel arrived, Dongfang Yunyang did not hesitate, glanced at everyone, and then said unhurriedly: " The people are here, so let's start now, I have summoned you here because there are very important things, you should know the purpose of our expedition, to complete the unification of our Fire Country as much as possible, now that we have arrived in Lihuo City, it is time to tell you about some plans, on the way to Lihuo City, I have formulated several sets of strategic plans, and now it is time to implement specific strategic plans, before we come, I have arranged for the enemy to conduct a detailed reconnaissance in the Sansang area, and at present, I am well aware of their deployment in all aspects......”
Summoning the core high-level leaders of the expedition army, Dongfang Yunyang's purpose is also very simple, because he wants to launch an attack on the Sansang area of the country of fire as quickly as possible, before coming to Lihuo City, he has already made a detailed reconnaissance of the Sansang area of the country of fire, the Sansang area corresponds to the area of the country of Yanzhi of Lihuo City, that is, the area of the neutral daimyo, and now the king of the expedition has arrived in Lihuo City, the Sansang area is close at hand, according to the news, the country of fire has not sent any reinforcements to the Sansang area, according to the strategic plan of the previous braking, he and Nara Shikajiu carefully discussed and determined one of the strategic plans not long ago, It is to launch a strong feat against the Sansang area at the fastest speed, hoping to take the entire Sansang area in one fell swoop, this area is not large, and the military strength of the enemy guards is not strong, so it is not a big problem to take it down, and his finger cover is replaced with many back hands, even if it is the power of the Yan Country to arrange support, he is fully confident that he will quickly take the Sansang area, of course, there is a chance to catch the enemy off guard, he doesn't mind seizing such an opportunity.
Dongfang Yunyang's battle plan for attacking the Sansang area was told to everyone in the council hall, and then Higashi Nara Lujiu gave a detailed explanation.
According to the Dongfang Yunyang plan, the large army set off from Lihuo City tonight and launched an attack directly on the Sansang area, originally they thought that the large army had just arrived in Lihuo City today and needed to rest and recuperate, but they didn't expect Dongfang Yunyang to launch an attack so soon, but some of them raised some concerns, but they didn't raise any objections, according to the specific battle plan explained by Nara Lujiu, it was obvious that Dongfang Yunyang had a plan, and they didn't have any big problems。
Soon, the combat order was issued, the expedition will be divided into three ways to launch a rapid attack on the Sansang area, of course, not all the expeditionary troops are primary, the three troops according to the arrangement, each force will be composed of more than 1,000 ninja troops and 50,000 ordinary troops, they attack the Sansang area in three different directions, the final destination is the main city of the Sansang City area, Wusang City, if you can take the Wusang City, you can basically easily control the Sansang area.
The meeting didn't last long, and it lasted almost two hours.
After the meeting, the core executives took the orders and left.
That night, three large armies of more than 50,000 people left Lihuo City one after another, and then separated, heading directly towards the Sansang area of the Flame Country from different directions.
Glass Fire City is some distance from the border area between the Fire Country and the Fire Country, and it takes about two days for an ordinary march, but the three attacking large forces adopted a rapid march, and appeared in the border area between the Fire Country and the Fire Country the next day, and then directly crossed the border and launched a full-scale attack on the Sansang area of the Fire Country.
Although the area of the Sansang area is not large, it still takes some time to completely occupy the entire area, but the strong attack of the three large forces is quite overwhelming, and in just two days, nearly half of the Sansang area is occupied by the large forces of the Fire Country.
After quickly taking nearly half of the Sansang area, the three expeditionary forces quickly gathered towards Wusang City, the main city of the Sansang area.
On the third day, the three expeditions of the Fire Nation were already besieging the city of Usan.
Dongfang Yunyang did not follow the three large troops when he arrived, but led a follow-up army of nearly 100,000 to set off quietly.
In this way, the large army of nearly 100,000 troops almost completely besieged the city of Wusan.
After besieging the city of Ussan, the large army did not rush to attack the city, but only besieged it.
After besieging Wusang City for a few days, the country of Yan sent a force of nearly 100,000 to support Wusang City, but they obviously underestimated the army of the country of fire besieging Wusang City, in fact, before this, Dongfang Yunyang deliberately leaked some news to the country of Yan, the content of the news is that the army of 100,000 countries of fire besieged Wusang City, and his purpose is also very simple, that is, to encircle the point to send reinforcements, although the defense force of Wusang City is not very strong, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is attacked, I am afraid it will cause a lot of losses, so under the suggestion of Nara Shikaku, he adopted the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements。
When the nearly 100,000 troops of the Fire Country were about to support the Sansang area, and they wanted to join forces with the outside to defeat the Fire Country army besieging Wusang City, they didn't know that a large army led by Dongfang Yunyang had quietly arrived in their flank and rear area.
In the end, the two sides fought in the area called Changqiu, which was dozens of miles away from Wusang City, and the battle was two of the three large forces that originally surrounded Wusang City, and the other was the army that continued to defend the area of Wusang City.
After the outbreak of the war between the two sides, Dongfang Yunyang was not idle, and also joined the battle against the large army of the country of Yan at the first time, and also summoned part of the reincarnation legion, although there were less than a hundred reincarnation legions, but there were more than a dozen shadow-level reincarnation ninjas, and the others were ninja-level ninjas, and the reason why he did not summon all the personnel of the reincarnation legion was mainly because he wanted to keep a hand, of course, he felt that it was enough to summon a hundred reincarnation legions.
In addition to the reincarnation legion of less than 100 people, Dongfang Yunyang also summoned the three toad brothers, and the three toad brothers with huge sizes still played a very good role on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, Dongfang Yunyang took the lead, and his strong performance on the battlefield naturally remained in the eyes of the people in the large army, watching Dongfang Yunyang show strong combat power, whether it was a soldier or a ninja, the morale was high.
The battle between the two sides lasted only a few hours, and the nearly 100,000 support forces of the Fire Nation were completely defeated, except for a very small number of those who broke through and fled, most of them either died in battle, or became prisoners of the Fire Nation's large forces.
From the beginning of the battle to the end of a big battle, although the large army of the country of fire was also somewhat damaged, but the casualty rate was very low, and the large army of the country of fire was completely annihilated.
In the first battle, the Fire Nation defeated the Fire Nation's forces in a complete victory, which was just a matter of high sentiment for the entire army.
After defeating the army of nearly 100,000 in the country of Yan, Dongfang Yunyang did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the victorious army to point at Wusang City.
The defenders of Uzan City originally wanted to cooperate with the supporting troops to catch the Fire Nation troops off guard, but they obviously underestimated the Fire Nation's troops, and after they rushed out of the city, they were intercepted by the Fire Nation army, which had been prepared for a long time, and after the battle, not only did they not take any advantage, but they lost their troops and finally had to retreat to the city, and soon after they retreated to the city, they soon learned that nearly 100,000 support troops were not wiped out by the troops of the Fire Country, and the army of the Fire Country was already surging towards Usan City。
In the end, Dongfang Yunyang led a large army to arrive outside Wusang City, and received a surrender letter from Wusang City, of course, Wusang City put forward some conditions on the surrender letter, Dongfang Yunyang looked at the conditions, but did not refuse, and directly accepted Wusang City's surrender, as for those conditions are not special, in fact, the high-level of Wusang City wants to save their lives, and they can take Wusang City without blood, a little less in the morning He feels that it is still very good for the ninja army, after all, the area occupied at the moment is only a small area of the country of fire, and then he needs to face a bigger battle to preserve his own strength, he feels that it is still necessary。
At noon the next day, the defenders of Usan City were surrendered, and the troops of the Flame Nation laid down their weapons and walked out of the city.
The Great Army of the Fire Nation led by Dongfang Yunyang soon entered Wusang City.
In this way, the city of Usan was successfully taken.
However, Dongfang Yunyang's most surprising thing was that the Changqiu region had annihilated nearly 100,000 support troops from the Flame Country before, and a force of nearly 100,000 could be said to be not a small force, and the blow to the Flame Country by defeating the nearly 100,000 Flame Country troops was probably not necessary to occupy the Sansang region.
After occupying Wusang City, Dongfang Yunyang immediately arranged to order several troops to take down the remaining Sansang area, and after the remaining areas learned the news of the annihilation of the support forces and the fall of Wusang City, the defenders of many small towns were almost terrified, and often the large forces of the Fire Country had not yet arrived, they had already fled, so the troops of the Fire Country could be said to have taken the entire Sansang area very easily.
