Chapter 539: Mighty

The Great War was about to break out, and the pressure on the Xuanwu Legion was great.

At the same time, the generals who knew about the existence of the red-clothed cannon were also very much looking forward to it.

After all, this is a battle that will determine the future direction of the entire Cangguo!

Only by letting the countries see the power of the Cangguo and not dare to respond to the battle is the most clever strategy!

The Xuanwu Legion is sending troops to deploy the formation, and the most important thing is to arrange a hundred red-coated cannons and cooperate with each other.

According to the news, the Qilin Legion has also arrived at the pre-recorded location and is currently stationed on the flank of the Ruan Army, covering a range of 100 miles.

The forces of the Three Kingdoms Coalition assembled, surrounded Licheng, and confronted the Xuanwu Legion.

On 21 October, both sides had a fighting spirit.

Because, the weather in these days is really very good, and it has advantages for both warring sides.

If you delay it any longer, it will soon be a cold winter, and if it snows, even the decoration of the month will be in vain.

On October 22, the Red Artillery Corps had surveyed the terrain and everything was ready.

At present, there are more than 30,000 soldiers in Licheng, including the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion.

In other words, Licheng is only a stronghold of the warring sides, it is a stronghold and back road of the Xuanwu Legion, but it is impossible to fight a big war here.

The two sides unanimously chose the place of battle in Qishui County, 60 miles away from Licheng.

Qishui County, originally called Qishui City, was incorporated into Cangguo and changed to a county system.

In the past half month, the two sides have been a focus of contention here, but no one can take advantage.

Both the Jin and Wei armies invested their troops here.

At present, the three kingdoms have formed a coalition army and unified command, so this place is a battleground between the coalition army and the Xuanwu army, and it is also regarded as a decisive battle.

In fact, on the coalition side, they didn't expect the Xuanwu Legion to take the initiative to face the battle.

Isn't it better to defend the city under pressure?

On October 25, the Xuanwu Army sent 30,000 men to attack the camp of the Jin army at night, killing more than 30,000 people.

The coalition army was shaken, and the three commanders were furious and ordered the whole army to prepare for this great revenge.

Otherwise, it will not be enough to calm the morale of the army.

On October 26, the coalition army gathered 600,000 troops and divided them into two main armies.

100,000 people all the way, and went around to capture Xiaohuang County behind the Xuanwu Army.

All the way, they poured into Qi County, preparing to compete with the Xuanwu Army.

I have to say that this is an extremely clever strategy.

The advantage of the coalition army is that it has a large number of people, and it can carry the general trend, and it can continuously mobilize troops from within the country to support.

The Xuanwu Legion can only be a tough battle, there is no mature legion behind it to fight, Xiaohuang County is a small county town, the city is a few zhang high, it is easy to break through, if the Xuanwu Army does not want to lose the rear, it can only be divided to help.

The number of soldiers and horses to be divided is a big problem, not less, but only more.

Sure enough, after learning about this, Zhu Xi scolded secretly, knowing that this must be Gongsun Zhi's idea, and there was nothing he could do but to divide 50,000 soldiers and horses to go to the rear to help, and at the same time order the government soldiers to always pay attention to whether there is a sneak attack.

"It's time to fight fast!"

Zhu Xi secretly told himself that he had just received the news that the Vermilion Bird Legion had defeated the army of the Yun Kingdom in Shanghan Valley yesterday, and it was estimated that the Yun Kingdom was not far from being destroyed at this time, and the current turmoil in Chu Di had gradually subsided, and only a part of the troops needed to be stationed.

In other words, now that the southern border is worry-free, Cangguo only needs to deal with the five countries of Ruan, Wei, Jin, Mang, and Fan.

And the Mang State and the Fan State are close to Chudi, and the Vermilion Bird Legion and the Blue Dragon Legion have a total of seven or eight hundred thousand soldiers, and after leaving some garrison troops, they can also draw four or five hundred thousand troops to deal with these two countries.

As we all know, the reason why Fan Guo can be called a great power side by side with Mang State is only because its domestic population is denser, reaching more than 10 million, and in terms of the combat effectiveness of the army, it is actually weaker than Mang.

In other words, the Blue Dragon Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion only need to use the Mangguo army as the main force in the future.

Zhu Xi has great confidence in these two legions, and he will definitely be able to be invincible against Mang and Fan.

Then, judging from the current situation, whether Cangguo can win this war depends on whether the Xuanwu Legion can defeat the three kingdoms of Ruan, Jin, and Wei, or in other words, as long as it can successfully resist the armies of these three countries, wait until the rest of the armies draw their hands, Cangguo will win!

In terms of the strength of the Xuanwu Legion, it is okay to deal with the current Three Kingdoms Alliance, once they increase their strength, or go all out......

Zhu Xi secretly thought about it, and couldn't help but shake his head, 300,000 against 3 million, even if there were 100 red-clothed cannons to help, he was not sure.

After all, no one is a vegetarian, although Cangguo has risen rapidly in recent years, but the three kingdoms of Ruan, Wei, and Jin, one is the current behemoth, the other is the overlord of the past, and the other dared to challenge the overlord in the past......

No one should be underestimated.

Therefore, for the Xuanwu Legion, this battle is actually very stressful.

Although the victory rate of the Xuanwu Legion has become much greater because of the existence of the red-coated artillery team, it is undeniable that there is still a chance of defeat.

The imperial court was not worried about losing the entire war, because even if the Xuanwu Legion lost, it could mobilize troops from other places, such as the White Tiger Legion and the Guiyi Legion, or simply transfer the Suzaku Legion from the south.

However, for the Xuanwu Legion, suffering defeat is almost a catastrophe, and it will become the first army among the six major legions of Cangguo to lose the entire war.

Can't afford to lose this man!

Therefore, Han Tong's pressure was very great, and he ordered the commanders of all armies and departments to gather at the Chinese Shogunate that night to discuss the war.

As expected, the choice of battlefield is most suitable in Qishui County.

Acceptable to both sides.

There is only one mountain in this city, that is, the city wall of the earth and stone fortress, and there is no moat, so it is possible to guard against small thieves on weekdays, and it is possible to use it for curfews and the like, but if you fight, it will not work at all.

Therefore, although the urban area of this city is still under the rule of Cangguo, the warring parties do not want to fight around the urban area.

Coincidentally, both sides increased their troops twenty miles outside the city, and it was obvious that they wanted to use this defense line as a breakthrough.

"Woo-"

"Woo-"

"Woo-"

In the cold wind of Xiao Xiao, hunting with banners, the Three Kingdoms Coalition Army gathered 800,000 troops, taking Qishui County as a breakthrough and advancing all the way.

The dust was flying, and countless fields were trampled along the way, but fortunately, this was not the time for planting, although large fields were trampled, but the farmers did not lose much.

In the villages along the way, the people had already dragged their families and hid in the mountains.
