Chapter 421: Preparations Before the War (Part II)
In the last year, the Great Qin Empire. The army added ten infantry divisions, two cavalry divisions, and two artillery divisions, making the Great Qin Empire. The total number of troops reached 560,000, and there were 34 infantry divisions, six cavalry divisions, and six artillery divisions under its jurisdiction.
In order to enable the 14 divisions newly formed last year to quickly become combat effective, the military headquarters adopted the method of drawing veterans from other divisions to build a backbone network of officers in the newly formed divisions, and then filling them with regular army soldiers who had been converted from the militia, so that the newly formed divisions could quickly have combat effectiveness after a certain amount of training.
This year, that is, the twelfth year of the Qin calendar, the Great Qin Empire is about to start a war against the Great Yue Empire, after Yun Yi and the generals' discussions, the early Great Qin Empire will mobilize ten infantry divisions, three cavalry divisions, and two artillery divisions to attack the Great Yue Empire.
It should be noted that due to the heavy artillery, which seriously slowed down the speed of the march, the two artillery divisions mainly participated in the task of breaking the enemy in the area outside the Wuwei Pass, and in the area outside the Wuwei Pass, the Da Yue Empire. After the army was defeated, the Great Qin Empire. Ten infantry divisions and three cavalry divisions of the army would enter the territory of the Great Viet Empire, while two artillery divisions would stay at Vu Wai Pass, and of course, two artillery divisions would be transferred to the front if necessary.
Compared with the millions of troops of other countries in the land of Shenzhou, the army of the Great Qin Empire, with a population of more than 46 million, is only 560,000, which is still relatively small.
In this year, the Great Qin Empire. The army will also add 10 infantry divisions and three cavalry divisions, and the transportation conditions will not be improved in the short term, and the expansion of artillery divisions equipped with heavy artillery will be postponed.
In fact, the cavalry units with better mobility should be expanded on a large scale, but unfortunately limited by the internal environment of the Great Qin Empire, there are not too many horse farms in the Great Qin Empire, and it is impossible to breed enough war horses, but after the Great Qin Empire captures the Great Yue Empire, the Great Yue Empire, which has a large number of high-quality horse farms, will provide a large number of war horses for the Great Qin Empire, the Great Qin Empire. The number of cavalry units of the army will also increase rapidly.
War is coming, but the Great Qin Empire does not seem too impatient within the Shinshu region, the Great Qin Empire. The army has only increased by two infantry divisions, and the Great Qin Empire has a network of railroad roads extending in all directions, through which the Great Qin Empire can transport a large number of troops to the front line in a short period of time, and it is easy to catch the enemy off guard.
Outside the Wuwei Pass, is Chuzhou, one of the nine states of the Great Yue Empire.
Although the Dayue Empire has mobilized a million troops to attack Anchu and Chu in the past two years, the intelligence investigation of the Daqin Empire on the side of the Daqin Empire has not decreased, and the Daqin Empire has not yet announced a war against the Dayue Empire, and the spies of the Dayue Empire have reported in detail the abnormal things within the Daqin Empire, so that the Dayue Empire has increased its troops to Chuzhou, making the Vietnamese army in Chuzhou once exceeded 90,000.
You must know that at this time, most of the army of the Dayue Empire was attacking Anchu and Chu in the west of the Dayue Empire, and there was Wuwei Pass, which was closed on this day, and the Dayue Empire only needed to put tens of thousands of troops outside the Wuwei Pass to block the Wuwei Pass, which shows that the Dayue Empire attaches great importance to the Daqin Empire.
Emphasis is on the Great Qin Empire. The number of troops is also known to the Great Qin Empire. The army is equipped with firearms, but the Great Yue Empire cannot imagine the Great Qin Empire. The real combat effectiveness of the army.
Just like on the battlefield of the Great Liang Empire, whether it was the Liang army, the army of the Shengwu Dynasty or the alliance army of the Three Kingdoms of Ji Luo and Zhao, when they encountered the "Thunder of Divine Punishment" for the first time, they were all defeated.
The Great Yue Empire did not personally experience the power of firearms, so naturally it was impossible to learn about the Great Qin Empire. The combat effectiveness of the army, even if the army of the Great Yue Empire in the Chuzhou area increased several times, it would not be able to resist the advance of the Great Qin Empire.
General Xiao Tong, the commander of the 90,000 Vietnamese army in Chuzhou, the Great Yue Empire, confidently assured the emperor Xiao Chong: "Even if the Qin army comes to attack, I will block it in the pass." ”
Regardless of whether the Great Yue Empire attaches importance to it or despises it, the Great Qin Empire is still actively preparing.
The Great Qin Empire did not mobilize many troops to the Xinzhou area, but the Great Qin Empire built a large number of granaries and arsenals in the territory of Xinzhou to store various materials.
The Great Qin Empire has only been established for twelve years, but the current Great Qin Empire can be said to be the richest country in the land of Shenzhou, with a full treasury, and all kinds of materials gathered in the Xinzhou region as if they didn't need money, enough to support at least three years of uninterrupted war.
The Great Yue Empire, a large country with a land area of more than 3 million square kilometers and a population of more than 32 million, but in the "Great Qin Empire's War Plan against the Great Yue Empire" formulated by Yun Yi and the generals of the empire, a deadline of half a year was set for the full occupation of the territory of the Great Yue Empire.
In the eyes of Yun Yi and the generals, the Great Yue Empire seemed to be insignificant, most of the people in the Great Qin Empire still did what they had to do, and only a small number of people were affected by the imminent war, which was also a symbol of the strength of the Great Qin Empire.
Unlike the Great Qin Empire, the war between the Great Yue Empire and An Chu is about to enter its third year, and it can be said that the Great Yue Empire is mobilizing the strength of the whole country to conquer An and Chu.
On the battlefield in front are millions of Vietnamese troops, but in the rear, millions of ordinary people of the Great Yue Empire are fully supporting, they are either driving oxen and wagons to the front line to transport various materials, or making arrows and clothing, almost the entire Great Yue Empire is revolving around this war, and the treasury of the Great Yue Empire is becoming increasingly empty.
The weather is getting warmer, and the war of the Great Yue Empire against Anguo is about to begin, but the war of the Great Qin Empire against the Great Yue Empire must be postponed, for no other reason, Yun Yi and the generals have already made plans in advance, and after the Vietnamese army and the Anchu coalition army are anxious together, it is the best time for the Great Qin Empire to go to the Great Yue Empire.
At this time, the Great Qin Empire launched a war against the Great Yue Empire, and the top leaders of the Great Yue Empire had to face two choices, whether to withdraw the advance team attacking Anguo immediately or transfer it back after the destruction of Anguo.
The Dayue Empire has been going to Anchu many times in the past hundred years without success, and this time it is not easy to see the dawn of victory, and the Dayue Empire cannot easily give up this opportunity.
In this way, the army of the Great Qin Empire could more easily conquer cities in the land of the Great Yue Empire.
The ice and snow melted, the war broke out again, and the area of the former Great Liang Empire, where the weather was warmer, took the lead in blowing the horn of attack, and in less than a decade, a major war broke out on the battlefield of Anguo.
Another few days later, the Great Qin Empire. The various departments of the army received a notice from the Ministry of War and sent a part of the elite troops to Yunhua City to be inspected by the emperor.
