Chapter 422: The War Begins (Part I)
A snow-white carrier pigeon, after a lot of hardships, flew over countless mountains and lakes, and finally landed at a base in Xunfeng on the outskirts of Yunhua City.
It didn't take long for a red special document to be sent to the Imperial Palace.
Yun Yi looked at this important document, and his eyes became deeper, as if his eyes could see through the layers of space the great battle that broke out on the battlefield of the Great Liang Empire.
"The war has begun!"
Yes, the war has begun, the war on the battlefield of the Great Liang Empire has begun, the war on the battlefield of Anguo is coming, and after that, the Great Qin Empire will become the protagonist on the land of Shenzhou, and other countries are supporting roles.
……
On the eleventh day of the first month of the twelfth year of the Qin calendar, the cold winter had just passed, and some traces of ice and snow could still be seen on the earth, but on this day, on the west side of the area controlled by the Guangming Sect was the 500,000 army of the Great Liang Empire, in the northwest of the area controlled by the Guangming Sect was the 500,000 army of the Shengwu Dynasty, and in the northeast of the area controlled by the Guangming Sect was the 300,000 Ji Luo Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance.
According to the secret agreement of the five kingdoms of the Great Liang Empire, the Shengwu Dynasty, the Great Ji Empire, the Great Luo Empire, and the Great Zhao Empire, on the eleventh day of the first lunar month, a total of 1.3 million troops of the five countries marched in three directions to the area controlled by the Illuminati at the same time, intending to destroy the Illuminati in one fell swoop.
In the face of a strong enemy, the Guangming Sect also prepared early, the Guangming Army totaled 850,000 horses, Yuan Chang divided 250,000 troops to resist the 500,000 Liang army under the command of the Great Elder Cai Kaiding, and the 200,000 troops were divided into 200,000 troops by the Second Elder Yu Jing to resist the 500,000 Wu army, Yuan Chang personally led the 350,000 Guangming Army to fight against the 300,000 Jiluo Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance, leaving more than 50,000 Guangming troops to stay in the rear.
According to the plan discussed by Yuan Chang and the elders of the Guangming Sect, the troops were divided into three routes, the first two routes tried to delay the time of the Liang army and the Wu army, and the last way gathered superior forces to first defeat the combined forces of Ji Luo and Zhao, then support the middle road, and finally deal with the Liang army on the left road.
The Illumination Sect has only been in the territory of the Great Liang Empire for more than three years, although the Illuminatia still has the support of the Great Qin Empire behind it, but the Illumination Sect was able to occupy such a vast land and defeat the enemy many times in only three years, which shows the strength of the Illuminati itself.
The strength of the Guangming Sect is very strong, there are more than 30 high-end armed congenital warriors led by Yuan Hao, and there are countless acquired martial artists, and the Guangming Sect has 850,000 soldiers, and there is no miscellaneous soldiers like militia Xiangyong, and the elite army occupies more than a quarter, coupled with the "thunder of divine punishment", so that the Guangming Sect has defeated the enemy many times and stood on the land of Liang State.
The strength of the Illuminati is very strong, but his opponent is not weak either.
The Holy Warrior Dynasty sent 500,000 troops, and there were no miscellaneous soldiers, and the elite army was more than 100,000, among which there were nearly twenty innate martial artists in battle, and the strongest was as high as the innate eighth order, although the role of a super martial artist on the battlefield could not determine the outcome of the war, but once these powerful martial artists could not be stopped, the other side would fall into a disadvantage.
The Liang Empire also sent 500,000 troops, the 500,000 Liang army can be called the last foundation of the Liang Empire, at present, the Liang army except for less than 100,000 regular troops stationed in the border area between the Liang Empire and the Tang Empire, the 500,000 Liang army is the last regular army of the Liang Empire, and the other Liang troops in the area controlled by the Liang Empire are almost all militia townspeople, except for a few Liang troops with a certain combat effectiveness, the rest of the Liang army are cannon fodder without much combat effectiveness.
This is the last chance to destroy the Illuminati, the Great Liang Empire is almost doing its best, even the families of the Great Liang Empire are fully supporting this war, and the warriors belonging to the family have joined the army, just to destroy the Illuminati.
Among the 500,000 Liang troops, the elite troops may not even be 50,000, but their high-end force is the most of the five countries and three road armies, the number of innate warriors exceeds 35, and the acquired warriors exceed 20,000, even if the low-level warriors account for the vast majority, but an army composed of warriors, its combat effectiveness can be imagined.
Compared with the Shengwu Dynasty and the Great Liang Empire, the Ji Luo Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance Army is a lot weaker, the Ji Luo Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance Army has a total of only 300,000, and there are no miscellaneous soldiers among them, and there are nearly thirty innate grandmasters in the army, but anyone can see that it is very difficult for the Ji Luo Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance to be completely unified, plus the Ji Luo Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance has the least number of troops, and the Ji Luo Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance has become the first target of the Guangming Sect.
In fact, the three kingdoms of Ji Luo and Zhao are also a little worried, after all, the Wu army and the Liang army are both 500,000, only they are 300,000, and the Guangming Sect has a great possibility to attack them first, so that on the eleventh day of the first month, the Liang army and the Wu army have entered the area controlled by the Guangming Sect according to the secret agreement.
The alliance of the three kingdoms of Ji Luo and Zhao did not appear, but the 350,000 Guangming Army led by Yuan Chang would not wait, this war related to the life and death of the Bright Sect, time is the most important.
In the early morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the 350,000 Guangming Army marched towards the Daji Empire under the order of Yuan Chang, and the target was the 300,000 Jiluo and Zhao allied forces in the border area of the Daji Empire.
On the morning of the thirteenth day of the first month, the Guangming Army crossed the border line into the territory of the Daji Empire, and near noon, the vanguard of the Guangming Army was only ten miles away from the vanguard of the Jiluo and Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance, and the two armies temporarily camped and waited for the arrival of the rear army.
The camp of the Three Kingdoms Coalition Army of Ji Luo and Zhao
According to the spies' report, the strength of the Bright Army will not be less than that of the Ji Luo and Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance, and the commanders of the three armies of Ji Xiu, Zhao Ren, and Luo Yong finally decided to fight a battle with the Bright Army after several discussions, rather than temporarily avoiding the troops.
Now that the two sides have met, no matter how strong or weak the enemy is, if they retreat directly, it is obvious that the face of the three kingdoms of Ji Luo and Zhao will be lost.
If you fight a game, you will pursue the whole line if you win, and if you lose, you will temporarily retreat, and you will not be defeated by the Bright Army in one battle.
In the camp of the Guangming Army, Yuan Chang got a report from the spies and knew that the alliance of the three kingdoms of Ji Luo and Zhao had not retreated, and a plan was quickly formed in Yuan Chang's mind.
The next day, in this small place called Qingkou, the 350,000 Guangming Army and the 300,000 Jiluo Zhao Three Kingdoms Coalition Army faced each other.
At the beginning of the war, the hoplites of the front army of the Guangming Army advanced, and there were no hoplites or hoplites on the side of the three kingdoms of Jiluo and Zhao.
After a while, the distance between the two armies was only one stone's throw away, and the two camps fired a volley of ten thousand arrows, protected by heavy armor, and the front army of the Guangming Army suffered little losses, while even if there were many shield soldiers on the side of the alliance army of Ji Luo and Zhao, it still caused a lot of casualties.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, the number of casualties of the three kingdoms of Ji Luo and Zhao is increasing, and the Guangming army also has some casualties, but it is far less than their enemies.
Kill!
Bang!
The two saber soldiers met each other and collided fiercely.
