Although the land of China still experienced many chaotic periods such as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Three Kingdoms, thanks to the advanced nature of magic, the population increased greatly and was evenly distributed. By the eve of the war with Gumeng, the Great Song Dynasty had a population of one billion and a standing army of three million.

Looking at Gumeng again, on the eve of the war, there were 900 million people (700 million in Tianzhu), 15 million standing troops (less than 2 million in Tianzhu), and by the end of May, more than one-third of the troops were on the battlefield.

Of course, because there is a large number of fires in Gumeng, even if they occupy the land of the Great Song Dynasty, they must leave heavy troops to guard against each other, and the actual number of troops that the two sides can use at this stage is about the same, and the Great Song Dynasty is slightly inferior at most.

But even so, the Great Song Dynasty was still defeated, because there was too much gap in the magic power of the two sides, and the advantage of the Great Song soldiers in skill could not make up for the gap.

Yes, with the help of Xinlan's health enhancement medicine, they are close to the level of Westerners in terms of magic, and the level of ordinary soldiers who used to be two or three orders is uneven, and it has been raised to the level of starting from the third order and becoming common at the fourth order, and the elite troops have also become all four orders, and the elite of the Yue family led by Chen Duyun has most of the fifth order.

But the Westerners are also lagging behind the ancient Mongolians.

Although there is a huge difference between large, medium, and small countries, even in a small country like the Western Regions, the soldiers are all of the fourth rank or above, and the strongest Mongolian army is as many as dogs of the sixth order, and the seventh order is everywhere.

Even in the Wei State, which is known for its skills, at least among the troops directly under the Eight Pillars State, there is no fourth-order.

As I said before, with the advantage of skills, the Turkic army in the Western Regions was still hung up and beaten by the Great Song Dynasty, but when they encountered the Xia Kingdom, which was also among the small countries of ancient Mongolia, it became a five-five open-if you don't meet the army led by the lord Li Hao, you will have the advantage, if you encounter it...... Quite a few people have already died in the torrent of iron harriers.

Today, the ancient Mongolian army has gathered a million, of which the number of Mongol troops has reached 300,000, which is more than when the city of Yunzhou was attacked!

Timur's intention to Kaifeng is bound to win, and any Great Song Dynasty person can see it.

"Ask for help!"

This is a wise judgment, even if Luoyang to Kaifeng is expanded a hundred times, it is not far away, and there are two dragons of the Yellow River to protect the northern part of Luoyang, and it is reasonable for the national capital to free up soldiers to support.

But it's a pity that Xinlan is not in Luoyang.

The Northern Army withdrew from Taiyuan, but only a week later, Xinlan once again moved north to recapture Taiyuan.

Looking for something to do?

Of course not, on behalf of mercy, Xinlan went to ask the Mo family to open the Great Wall, but the ontological Xinlan would not know that this is a means to cure the symptoms rather than the root cause, after all, the better way is to destroy the satellite than to resist, once and for all, fortunately she has been prepared for a long time - yes, it is the Taiyuan Institute of Aerospace Magic.

The institute had long since relocated to the relative safety of Luoyang, but it was not until the results of the research that they discovered that there was a geographical need for the installation of the orbital launch device.

"I said earlier not to relocate. ”

The director of the research institute, who had been watching them act coldly before, as a conservative leader, and mastered the core technology.

"You didn't say why!"

"Will you believe me?" the director scoffed, "so I silently did what you said, just to see how you failed, and now I know that I am right, right?"

I have to say that this is the inferior nature of a small number of people, and the director was naturally whipped by Li Qingzhao afterwards, even if he has technology, as a person, as the director, he has been completely disqualified.

After the anger is over, they can only look for a solution.

"Is there nowhere else but Taiyuan?"

"Absolutely. "The director is also a stubborn conservative, even if he is beaten and silently endured, he comes to work with a blue nose and a swollen face, and he can't see that he has a grudge.

I saw him pointing to a place outside the map of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is clear that it is a foreign country, or the territory of Gumon.

"You can do that here, too. ”

"Are you kidding us?" and many people were angry again.

"Sir, please explain, why do you know that foreign countries are also possible?" Xinlan stopped everyone and asked patiently.

"Because people have been exploring before, I have judged from their information that it is suitable. ”

"Just the data?"

A lot of doubts sounded quickly, and the director was also a little angry.

"That's why I said, Taiyuan can't be abandoned!"

Instead of dwelling on the suitable location abroad, the focus shifted to retaking the Taiyuan Research Institute—when the Northern Army returned, they were told that it had become a lair of the undead.

"Don't worry, I'll lead the army personally. "Heartland.

Considering the importance of strategy, people finally did not stop Xinlan, considering that the northern army was exhausted, Xinlan asked Li Yaoshi to stay in Luoyang, and he took 80,000 Luoyang defenders to the north. With the Sage leading the team, and the Sage also has the magic of the "Great Heaven Sacred Domain" that benefits the entire army, how could the process not go well, Xinlan recaptured the research institute all the way.

But at the same time, they also found that the undead of the Liao Kingdom had extremely serious pollution of the area, so they began to clean up the work, of course, blocking the enemy's counterattack could not be stopped, but with Xinlan, self-protection was not a problem.

However, their communication with the south was also interrupted, and even if they were not interrupted, they would not be able to rush back, and Gu Meng was fighting with the Great Song Dynasty with the map almost full, how could he not prevent an accident before the Great Rebellion. As a result, Attila asked the Mongol army led by Liao and Hu Lie, as well as the main force of the Eastern Xiongnu, a total of 600,000 troops, to entangle Xinlan.

In this way, no matter what the victory or defeat is, the Yue family in Kaifeng City will not be able to count on Xinlan's body.

At the same time, with the end of the protection period, the Qing army also officially joined the battlefield, and jointly launched an attack on Xuzhou, where Xie Lu and the two families were stationed, although it was not as strong as Timur's million-strong army, but there were also 500,000, so that the Xie Lu family could not move.

Counting Taiyuan and the Western Battlefield, it can be said that this was a heavy attack by Gu Meng, who invested heavy troops on the fourth front, and had a great deal of courage to eliminate the momentum of the Great Song Dynasty within three months.

In the end, the only thing the Yue family could rely on was the Jinyi Guard army sent by Luoyang City led by Zhang Gongjin and led by Lei Tianhua, a total of 50,000 reinforcements, and the Yang family's 20,000 Flying Dragon Army...... Less than half a million in total to fight against enemies twice their size.

"Don't be afraid, as a defender, this number is enough. ”

Someone said so.

It is true that to capture a fortified city with only twice the number of troops is a little insufficient, but this is the general situation.

The most unfortunate thing about the city of Kaifeng is its proximity to the Yellow River, and Gumeng has no morality to protect the environment, let alone Timur leading the army. Although it was said that the Kaifeng defenders could not be "flooded by the Seventh Army" in the current situation, they were surprised to find that the enemy was shelling them in a sea of sea ships - the cannons were Suss cannons, but the ships were ships that the Lu family had not had time to destroy and take away when they withdrew from Shandong.

Most of the ancient Mongolian people did not understand the nature of water, but the nature of water in the magical world refers to the kung fu of fighting in the depths of the water and turning over rivers and seas, if you just walk on the water, you can do it with magic alone, even if it is not too difficult to stabilize the ship by the way.

If the Kaifeng army knew how to cast the Red Water Array, they might have won immediately, but the problem was that they didn't understand...... For example, when the water is higher than the city, the barrier has to be opened to prevent the water from flooding in - yes, consuming the barrier is the first purpose of the magical world's siege, and if the barrier is not broken, it will not be possible to attack the people inside with mass destruction magic.

Faced with this situation, Yue Fei adopted a very conventional response plan, ordering people to send troops out of the city to raid while channeling the river in the south where there was no enemy.

To be reasonable, both sides are not familiar with water, and the most that is done with a ship or not is whether there is a foothold when the magic power is exhausted, and the movement advantage of the ship is not taken advantage of by the ancient Mongolian people, and it doesn't hurt to regard the battle between the two sides as a war on the plains.

However, both sides are in the magic ...... To be precise, the gap in combat power was exposed in an instant.

Even if the forbidden army was not here, the Yuejia army also represented the first-line level of the Great Song Dynasty infantry, but it was such a first-line level, and it was tyrannized by the Mongolian wolf cavalry jumping on the boats and water.

Yue Fei is very heroic, and his skills in leading troops are also decent, and it can be said that he has brought out all the abilities of his own troops.

If he had led the Wei troops, perhaps he would have been able to win a small victory, and then achieve a reputation like Gao Lanling.

It's a pity that he led the Great Song army, so he was defeated.

And that's it, when he returned to the city, he immediately heard these words:

"If it was Lord Yue, we would have won......"
