Chapter 191: Marching into the South

Spring goes and autumn comes

As the farmers of the north ushered in their first harvest season in a frenzy, Lelouch finally relaxed his nerves that had been tensed by grain, and this year's north ushered in a bumper harvest.

Inside the White Tower, almost everyone walked with joy at this moment, and Decrees's voice in the office was loud and enthusiastic:

"In the first harvest of this year, we harvested nearly 10 million tons of various types of grain, and the overall harvest has more than doubled compared with before. ”

Declan coughed when he said this, and said happily:

"In other words, the next two harvests, we are all pure earnings!"

De Cres's words made everyone present can't help but let out an excited whisper, maybe they are all scared, so many materials make almost everyone feel safe from beginning to end, as the so-called food in hand, do not panic, after having so much food, many of Lelouche's next plans can be implemented, whether it is from the perspective of internal stability or external threats, food is unobtainable.

"Very well! With this food, we can immediately carry out the next step. ”

Lelouch nodded in satisfaction, indicating that he was satisfied with the result of this harvest, and then turned his head to look at Libert:

"Lord Libert, how is our expansion plan going right now?"

Liebert hurriedly stood up and said:

"According to the army expansion plan formulated a year ago, we have now fully met the standard, and the garrison now has a total of 100,000 troops, excluding the change of defense horn fort and the garrisons in various places, we can now mobilize a total of 50,000 mobile troops!"

Lu Luxiu looked at Qin Chuan, and Qin Chuan also replied calmly:

"We can mobilize 20,000 Guardians and 5,000 armed priests right now!"

Lelouch clapped his hands happily:

"Okay, with my Praetorian Guard, we can now raise a total of 80,000 troops, and Baicheng will be guarded by 20,000 Sect Guards, and we will officially send troops to the south in two weeks!"

Leluxiu's words made the people present shake their fists excitedly, sending troops to the southern border means that all the land will be officially recovered, and it also means that Lelouxiu will take back the entire heaven-sent land with this battle, and completely end the status quo of the actual division of the heaven-sent land.

Two weeks is not a long time, pumping grain and grass, gathering troops, reviewing the plan, these various things will consume a lot of time, so the time is not only not long, but extremely short, if it is not for the previous Lelouch to do a lot of preparatory work for this, it is impossible to complete the mobilization plan in two weeks, and this also reflects the strength of Lelouch's mobilization system from the side.

The troops stationed in various places began to continue to pull out, gathering towards the White City, they continued to accumulate little by little, little by little together, and finally became a wide flow of people, and finally continued to gather under the White City, becoming a sea of troops.

Baicheng is very lively these days, outside the city is an endless barracks, inside the flags and tickets, almost every day there are troops into it, and then make this barracks more and more huge, more and more people make everyone present more and more enthusiastic, especially after the arrival of these military masters, the extremely rising consumption capacity, but also in disguise stimulated those Baicheng businessmen who have just started to do business, they rely on the transportation of all kinds of consumables and food, for themselves to earn the first pot of gold.

Please, the four floors that Lelouch spread out were not given away for nothing, they could only be regarded as low-interest loans, and they had to be repaid!

Therefore, the consumption of these military masters outside Baicheng can be counted as their harvest in the real sense, Lelouch prepared an army of 80,000 for this war, which can be said to have mobilized all the mobile forces that he can mobilize, and also released a series of later mobilization plans as a guarantee for the defeat of the front, and the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, Lelouxiu's approach is not timid or too careful, but as a matter of course!

Lelouxiu's move to start assembling a large army was like an alarm bell striking the hearts of the nobles of the Three Realms, although they already knew that this day would definitely come, but when all this really happened, they still couldn't help but be afraid, the combat effectiveness of Leluxiu's army was obvious to all, and Lelouxiu now ascended the throne to become the emperor of the people with the name of righteousness, and at the same time had the support of those mud-legged people under his command, if it weren't for the knights and small nobles enough, these nobles even felt that they didn't need to fight, those mud-legged people would be able to send themselves and others to Lelouxiu!

Although the nobles did not have any extra optimism about the next battle, at this time they thought that they had to send arrows, and you want them to give up everything they had without doing anything, do you think you would be willing to change you?

Lelouch didn't care about this, except for the fear that he would kill some peasants who supported him on the battlefield, but at this level of things, many things were already completely out of his control.

The troops gathered by Lelouch finally completed the assembly within two weeks, the 80,000 army is the most powerful legion that Lelouch has ever assembled, and the legion of 80,000 people even allows Lelouch to be comparable to the elves in terms of military strength, this terrifying growth rate of strength is unbelievable to everyone in Middle-earth, you must know that this is not 80,000 peasant soldiers, but 80,000 powerful legions whose combat strength can be compared with the first-line civilization, in other words, you can understand that Lelouch does not have 80,000 ordinary human soldiers, but 80,000 terrifying elven army, or 80,000 strong orc legions, and more importantly, Lelouch's current legion is no longer a single combination of knights and infantry, and has always been a long-range force that has always been Lelouch's shortcoming, and now it has been completely compensated.

In a year's time, the industrial zone that began to take shape completed the long-range force refitting of the established plan for Leluch, the bow and crossbow were almost completely eliminated, and the musket artillery was added to the army on a large scale, these large-caliber muskets that are different from the slender firearms of the earth, the volume is more huge, a bit similar to the hand artillery of the Ottoman Empire, the slightly expanded caliber brings more ferocious firepower, although the effective accuracy may be a little worse, but in the ancient times of this intensive battle, the loss of this accuracy is still acceptable, the front of the phalanx is densely packed with people, and a shot is not afraid of hitting in the past, and as for the problem of whether to hit or not, then there is no need to worry。

"In this battle, we have mobilized a total of 60,000 melee infantry and knights, and another 20,000 firearms troops!"

"The morale of the troops is high now, and many recruits are looking forward to gaining military merits to bring more land to their families, and the military spirit is absolutely usable!"

"The Three Realms are also gathering civilians now, and they seem to want to have a decisive battle!"

"A decisive battle?"

Lelouch was stunned for a moment, then laughed:

"Also, if they don't hold together, it's even more unlikely that they will be our opponents!"

In fact, if the nobles don't hold a group, maybe Lelouch will have to fight for the rebellion of the nobles in various places and be exhausted, and there is no way to do economic construction, but now they are grouped just so that Lelouch can be wiped out, in fact, this also proves that the nobles lack a unified order, and scattering the battle is undoubtedly the most powerful for them, but if you do this, there will definitely be a few unlucky existences, they will become cannon fodder in this friction, and no one is willing to leave their own life of fine clothes and food, they rise up to resist Lelouch is not to ensure their rich life?

If it spreads out now, it will be tantamount to fighting guerrillas, then it is still a fart, it is better to surrender early!

Lelouch laughed at the uselessness of the nobles on the other side, and admired his huge army, which was now 80,000 under the White City, and they waited for their leader to lead them to glory.

In the White City, thousands of people greeted them, they fanatically waved their arms at the leaders who were constantly advancing on the avenue, the mighty Janissary knights followed behind Lelouch, and there were almost no ordinary infantry in the whole team, except for the knights of the symbolic meaning of the three major services, there were all kinds of standard-bearers, these standard-bearers carried huge military flags, and brought out endless might in the march of the team, and the military branches that had never appeared in the team also made the residents point excitedly, the rows of muskets, lined up neatly, and marched in a team of musketeers, making everyone wonder about their role, but full of confidence in them。

Just kidding, will Miko-sama's army be bad?

And in addition to the muskets that I don't understand, the remaining dozens of nearly 100 cannons are about to come much more powerful, although they don't have the huge volume of trebuchets, but their thick caliber allows everyone present to understand their role, and the loud noise of the trainer outside the school field, everyone has heard it, it is said that this kind of thing is called artillery, but what do we ordinary people know? This kind of thing is obviously the manifestation of the Son of God, borrowing the power of the thunder god to go down to earth.

The inhabitants looked timidly at this cannon, and the priests spared no effort to propagate it, so that these cowardice gradually turned into a kind of piety, and this weapon, which was an era ahead of Middle-earth, would soon burst into a terrifying force.

This kind of military parade before the expedition can often bring endless encouragement, the army will have a morale increase, the people will also have trust in the victory of the war, of course, the army of 80,000 will not be able to walk in, so the army waits outside the city gates, and Lelouch takes the Praetorian Guard with a certain demonstration gunpowder unit to display in the city.

With flowers, applause, and cheers all over the city, Lelouch marched to the south with the enthusiastic cheers of more than 100,000 citizens of the White City!

...

The southern border is the closest place to Lelouch, and it is also the place where Lelouch knows best, because he understands, so he grasps it bigger, and although Lelouch already has a normal force base, but there is still a lack of population, Lelouch can want to change the sparse and sparse population of his territory into even development, and finally usher in a big explosion of population.

Moreover, the southern border has the most developed economic power in the entire heaven-sent land, which is an indispensable and important part of Lelouxiu, who likes to fight an overall war and rely on the economic strength as a background to directly crush the enemy.

And Lelouch is also prepared for this offensive disadvantage, not that Lelouch is not confident, but Lelouch has made these preparations, so the minimum standard of this battle is to unify the southern border, and the highest standard is to unify the entire heaven-sent land, since this is the case, then Lelouch naturally has to rush to meet the minimum standard first.

For the news of Lelouch's march into the south, the aristocratic coalition of the three realms naturally had already expected, and the two sides invariably put the battlefield in the south, Lelouch needed to fight to solve all the bright forces of the separatist forces, and the aristocratic coalition army hoped to rely on the group and do their best to defeat Lelouxiu's invasion, so that their own territory could be protected from invasion, after all, no nobleman wanted his territory to be disturbed by Lelouxiu!

So it's not that the aristocratic coalition is stupid, just because the aristocratic coalition has no choice, they are not too stupid, but because this choice is the best choice that can take care of the interests of all parties at present, and the nobles are not completely without a chance of winning, the land of heaven for the human race that Lelouch understands is actually the northern and southern realms, and it is more suitable as the eastern and western realms of the rear In fact, because of their principle of Mordo, they have actually been independent for a hundred years, although they are still allowed to guard and worship Baicheng as the emperor, but what level of their specific strength has reached, the outside world is not clear。

The link between the outside world and the eastern and western realms is just relying on the few peasant soldiers dispatched from the eastern and western realms to fight, and the careful Lelouch found that although the peasants and soldiers in the eastern and western realms are also a group of peasant troops, their physique and equipment, and even military literacy, are much better than those in the north and south, which is also the reason why Leluxiu finally chose to fight the southern border first, because Lelouch knows the southern border too well, and fighting in Nanjing, at least there are many more things that Lelouch can control!

The army of 80,000 is moving towards the south, and the peasants in the south who get the news are naturally happy, and even many farmers have begun to secretly prepare weapons in order to help Lelouch quickly regain the lost territory, while the nobles are waiting for the battle to come in fear, and they are now even afraid to drive their people to the front line, because looking at their eyes, no one dares to guarantee that these peasants will stand on which side after they go to the battlefield, and the elite army of 80,000 Lelouch is already frightening enough, if you add these peasant soldiers brought out by themselves, it will make people even more unable to have any confidence to resist。

So in this battle, the main people in the south are petty nobles and knights, but there is a hint of elite soldier policy!
