Chapter 401: The Situation of the Great Liang Empire

"Coming to the world!"

"The light shines and dispels the darkness!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Bright Army fought with the Liang Army on the battlefield, and the Liang Army was more numerous, but in the face of the Bright Army armed by the faith, the Liang Army was at a disadvantage, and the number of dead and wounded exceeded that of the Bright Army.

In addition to the ten years of the Qin calendar, the Great Liang Empire raised 500,000 troops to attack Binzhou and Caizhou occupied by the Guangming Army, and the Guangming Army showed that the enemy was weak and retreated, and gave Binzhou to the Liang Army, so that the Liang Army continued to divide troops to guard the occupied city, and then divided the troops into Caizhou, but was ambushed by the Guangming Army, and finally the 500,000 troops of the Great Liang Empire were defeated, and Binzhou and Caizhou were firmly controlled by the Guangming Sect.

The matter did not end, after the Guangming Sect regained control of Binzhou and Caizhou, and under the leadership of Yuan Chang, the Guangming Army continued to march on Binzhou and Caizhou's neighbors, Cangzhou and Shanzhou.

Binzhou and Caizhou can be far from being compared with Cangzhou and Shanzhou, Binzhou and Caizhou are adjacent to the Daluo Empire and the Daji Empire, although the land is vast, but the population belongs to the two states with the least among the twelve states of the Liang Empire, and a few years ago was plundered by the Jiluo Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance, the people's livelihood was very seriously damaged, and the upper class did not have one out of ten, after all, the upper class had the most wealth in their hands, and it was the object of plunder as long as the Jiluo Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance, and it was precisely because of the plundering of the Jiluo Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance that the Guangming Sect was given the opportunity to easily control Binzhou and Caizhou.

Cangzhou and Shanzhou are not the same, the two states belong to the two of the four states in the central region of the Great Liang Empire, although the land area is not as large as Binzhou and Caizhou, but the population is much more than Binzhou and Caizhou, Cangzhou and Shanzhou have not experienced the plunder of the alliance of the three kingdoms of Ji Luo and Zhao, and the power of the family is still there.

However, the Great Liang Empire mobilized 500,000 troops to attack Binzhou and Caizhou, and a large part of them were directly recruited and transferred in Cangzhou and Shanzhou, and the 500,000 army was defeated, and the strength of the Great Liang Empire in Cangzhou and Shanzhou was not much.

In fact, it was precisely like this, Cangzhou and Shanzhou were short of troops, and under the attack of the Guangming Army, in just one month, nearly half of the land and cities in the two states were captured by the Guangming Army.

The surprise attack of the Guangming Army caught the Liang army and the family in Cangzhou and Shanzhou by surprise, but after that, the families in Cangzhou and Shanzhou reacted quickly, and the families formed armies to resist the attack of the Guangming Army, which slowed down the advance of the Guangming Army.

The defeat of 500,000 Liang troops is also a huge loss to the Liang Empire, after the news of the defeat of the 500,000 Liang army in front was transmitted back to the imperial capital Guangling City, the high-level leaders of the Liang Empire were shocked, they knew that the Bright Sect and the Ji Luo Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance Army was not a kind of existence, and the Ji Luo Zhao Three Kingdoms Alliance Army would retreat when it invaded the territory of the Great Liang Empire, and the Guangming Sect would not, if the Guangming Sect was not defeated, the Guangming Sect would continue to encroach on the land of the Great Liang Empire, and the strength of the Bright Sect would increase rapidly.

Thinking that the powerful and rich Dali Empire was destroyed after the rise of the Bright Sect, the high-level of the Great Liang Empire was surprised and panicked, at this time, there can be no more disputes within the Great Liang Empire, everyone must unite to deal with the Bright Sect, the Great Liang Empire is not like the original Great Li Empire has two major heavenly passes that can block foreign enemies, the Great Liang Empire is an enemy on three sides, once the three enemies take the opportunity to attack the Great Liang Empire, then the Great Liang Empire will be dangerous.

The Great Liang Empire must destroy the Bright Sect as soon as possible, and the upper echelons of the Great Liang Empire (the imperial court and the family) reached a consensus, and the order to recruit and transfer troops was quickly conveyed to all places.

Just when the Great Liang Empire was actively recruiting and transferring troops, the Guangming Army had made a lot of progress in Cangzhou and Shanzhou, and the heavily armed Guangming Army was not a new monarch that the families hastily formed could resist, and in the face of the offensive of the Guangming Army, some families could only give up their foundations and take their clansmen to withdraw from this land of right and wrong first.

In the process of fighting, the Guangming Army also had a lot of losses, after all, the Guangming Army was a rapid raid and siege, and did not have time to bring all kinds of siege equipment, but in general, the total strength of the Guangming Army did not decrease much, after the Guangming Army captured the land of Cangzhou and Shanzhou, the Guangming missionaries would quickly follow and preach locally.

In addition to the current Great Qin Empire and the ruling area of the Illuminati Sect, ordinary people in other places on the land of Shenzhou, especially the peasants who make a living from farming, are the objects of oppression and exploitation.

The speed of the development of the Bright Sect was greatly frightened by the high-level of the Great Liang Empire, but fortunately, when the Bright Army had not completely captured Cangzhou and Shanzhou, the first batch of 100,000 reinforcements from the Great Liang Empire entered Cangzhou and Shanzhou in two ways.

This is only the first batch, and more reinforcements will arrive soon, not counting the area controlled by the Bright Sect, the total population under the control of the Great Liang Empire is still more than 25 million, if you recruit troops to the limit, you can get 5 million troops, and it is not so difficult to recruit and mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops now.

The reinforcements of the Great Liang Empire arrived, and the offensive of the Guangming Army in Cangzhou and Shanzhou was a pause, and then the Great Liang Empire. The army and the Guangming Army engaged in a tug-of-war on the two battlefields of western Cangzhou and western Shanzhou, with a small fight in three days and a major fight in five days, and the two sides sent small units to attack and harass each other every day.

At this point, the Illuminati Sect will not give up a piece of land easily, and the total population of the area under the control of the Illuminati Sect now exceeds seven million, which is equivalent to more than one-fifth of the total population of the Great Liang Empire.

The war continues, on the battlefield, the Great Liang Empire. There are more troops than the Guangming Army, after all, the population under the control of the Great Liang Empire is more, and more troops can be raised, and the total population in the area controlled by the Guangming Sect is seven million, but only Binzhou and Caizhou can recruit a large number of soldiers after the Guangming Sect has been operating for a long time, and the newly occupied areas of Cangzhou and Shanzhou still need a period of time to proselytize, so that the local people will believe in the Bright Religion.

Great Liang Empire. With the support of the Great Qin Empire, the Bright Army does not lack weapons and armor, coupled with the fanatical belief of the Bright Sergeants, if it is only an ordinary soldier, the Bright Army's soldiers are even more powerful, and two Bright Sergeants can defeat three Liang Sergeants.

Seeing this situation, Duan Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire, had to discuss with the family and prepare to mobilize a large number of warriors to join the army.
