Chapter 259: Late Autumn in the Blink of an Eye (Medium)
[I suddenly found that I am not suitable for writing this type, but for the sake of everyone, this book will continue to be written, and it will be stable twice a day]
In mid-April, there was only one-third of the area in Suzhou that was still in the hands of the family, and Yuan Hao led the 170,000 Guangming Army to continue to launch a fierce attack on this third of the area, intending to take Suzhou as soon as possible.
Qinzhou, Linzhou, Laizhou in the three states of the family and the imperial court who have watched the drama for more than a month on the side finally decided to take action against the Guangming Army, if the Guangming Army continues to fight like this, when the Guangming Army completely occupies Suzhou, then the Guangming Army with Suzhou and Tongzhou will be the great enemy of the family and the imperial court, anyway, the family in Suzhou has been disabled by the Guangming Army, and there are three fewer opponents to dominate the world.
The first to shoot is the two major families of Laizhou, Boling Wang and Chung Ling Sun, although the two families of Wang and Sun have "broken up" because of the interests of Laizhou, but now the two have reached an agreement to divide land in Laizhou, and half of the Laizhou family.
If Suzhou falls into the hands of the Guangming Army, it is obvious that the next target of the Guangming Army is Laizhou, and Laizhou is the weakest state relative to Qinzhou and Linzhou.
On April 13, the Boling Wang clan and the Chungling Sun clan each sent 50,000 troops, with a total strength of 100,000, from the north of Laizhou to Tongzhou.
Otherwise, guarding the southern area of Tongzhou was the 30,000 Laizhou Guangming Army led by Wang Jun, plus the 15,000 Guangming Army scattered in the southern regions of Tongzhou, Wang Jun's army was only 45,000 people, less than half of the Wang-Sun coalition army, and Tongzhou was in crisis.
Knowing that the Wang-Sun coalition was coming, the first thing Wang Jun did was to gather troops, but the second thing was to recruit troops, the recruitment order was delivered in the south of Tongzhou, and the people responded in groups, and Wang Jun recruited nearly 10,000 new soldiers in three days, according to this speed, when the two armies meet, the strength of the Guangming Army will reach 70,000.
What is the situation that makes the people in southern Tongzhou respond and join the Bright Army one after another?
Tongzhou was the first state to be completely occupied by the Illuminati Sect, and after the Illuminati occupied Tongzhou, the Illuminati began to distribute land to the common people, and the rules for the distribution of land by the Illuminati Sect became even more violent. Force, regardless of men, women, young and old, each person has twenty acres of land, and under the strong executive ability of the Guangming Sect, the people of Tongzhou will soon have their own land.
More than half a year has passed, the people of Tongzhou really know the good of the Bright Sect, willing to accept the rule of the Bright Sect, but now there are people who want to destroy their upcoming good life, the common people are unwilling, after Wang Jun's recruitment order was issued, although because of the previous war Tongzhou's youth and strength have also decreased sharply, but in the three days after the recruitment order was issued, Wang Jun raised nearly 10,000 recruits in the south of Tongzhou, which shows that the people of Tongzhou really support the Bright Religion and resolutely resist the "dark" family.
On April 17, Wang Jun led the 70,000 Guangming Army in the south of Fangling County and 100,000 Wang Sun coalition army engaged in battle, although there were more than 20,000 recruits in the 70,000 Guangming Army, but under the armed of faith, the Guangming soldiers were not afraid of death, on the first day of the battle, Wang Jun led the Guangming Army lost 5,000 troops (recruits accounted for only a quarter, veterans are the main force, recruits are only auxiliary), Wang Sun Coalition Army lost nearly 4,000 troops, the Guangming Army was at a disadvantage, and then Wang Jun ordered the withdrawal of the army, withdrew to Fangling County, defended by the city, and resisted the Wang Sun coalition army.
In the face of the Guangming Army defending the city, the Wangsun coalition army was blocked and could no longer continue to advance.
On April 16, Guo Wei led 150,000 counterinsurgency troops out of Linzhou and headed west to Tongzhou City in the east of Tongzhou.
The city of Tongzhou was defended by the 7th elder of the Guangming Sect, Du Weiming, who led 20,000 Guangming troops, and before Guo Wei's counterinsurgency army arrived in Tongzhou City, Tu Weiming recruited 20,000 new soldiers in the eastern part of Tongzhou, making the total strength of the Guangming Army in Tongzhou City reach 40,000.
150,000 officers and soldiers surrounded Tongzhou City, which was garrisoned by only 40,000 Guangming Army, and the counterinsurgency army launched several fierce attacks one after another, all of which were repulsed by the Guangming Army.
Although there are only 40,000 Guangming troops stationed in Tongzhou City, there are nearly 50,000 ordinary people in the city who support the Guangming Army, and they support the Guangming Army in defending the city by sending water and food, moving wood and stones, and other ways behind their backs.
Guo Wei wants to break through Tongzhou City, but it may be difficult to achieve it in a short time.
On April 18, the Guangwu Dongfang clan and the Changyi Lin clan of Qinzhou each sent 15,000 troops, a total of 30,000 Ma Xi left Qinzhou to march into Suzhou, and the move of the Dongfang clan and the Lin clan was very simple, using the 30,000 combined troops of their two families to force the main force of the Guangming army that stormed Shaluguo to divide a part of the troops, so that the Guangming army could not completely defeat Shaluguo.
In late April, Yuan Hao got the news that 30,000 Qinzhou soldiers had entered the eastern part of Suzhou, and then Yuan Hao divided 20,000 troops and went to the east of Suzhou to block the 30,000 Qinzhou soldiers, and he took the remaining 150,000 Guangming troops to continue to storm Shaluguo, intending to quickly defeat the three Shaluguo families, and then return to Tongzhou.
However, at the end of April, the two families of Laizhou sent 30,000 reinforcements into the south of Tongzhou to join the army sent before, with a total of more than 94,000 people, and the Guangming Army still stationed in Fangling County only had more than 30,000 people, and the Laizhou Army was three times the size of the Guangming Army.
Similarly, at the end of April, the counterinsurgency army besieging Tongzhou City was replenished with 50,000 horses from Linzhou, so that the strength in Guo Wei's hands was restored to nearly 150,000, and there were nearly 50,000 people in the Guangming Army in Tongzhou City, of which 15,000 were the original defenders of Tongzhou City, and the rest were recruits recruited from the west and north of Tongzhou to support Tongzhou City, and finally rushed into Tongzhou City.
If it continues like this, the horror will fall in less than half a month, the southern part of Tongzhou will fall, and the city of Tongzhou is also in danger, even if the main force of the Guangming Army led by Yuan Hao will destroy the three families of Shalu Guo, when returning to Tongzhou, basically the southern part of Tongzhou has been lost, so many enemy troops, Yuan Hao wants to recapture the southern part of Tongzhou, I am afraid it will be very difficult.
After thinking about it carefully, Yuan Hao finally ordered the main force of the Guangming Army to divide into two routes, one was led by 50,000 people by the Great Elder to guard the area occupied by the Guangming Army in Zhuzhou, and the other route was Yuan Hao personally led 100,000 troops back to Tongzhou to drive away all the enemies who invaded Tongzhou.
……
On the other side, far south of the Dali Empire, the Guangming Army of Hengzhou returned to aid Hezhou, and the Guangming Army of the two states converged and began to launch a counteroffensive against the family alliance army in Hezhou.
