Chapter 170: Troop Mobilization and Expansion
[Capable book friends, please come to the starting point to support Heng Yi, there are many people who watch the thief, if everyone sees the thief, Heng Yi does not have much income, and Heng Yi does not have much motivation for code words, alas, it is tiring to write]
"The main thing is not good, Jieliang City is broken, most of the area of Jieliang County has been occupied by the anti-thieves of the Guangming Sect, and only three county towns are still resisting, and it is estimated that the anti-thieves in Jieliang County will have as many as 20,000 troops." Wang Ming, the leader of Tianmu, hurriedly met with Yun Yi and reported the information in Xie Liang County to Yun Yi.
Xie Liang County is the neighbor of Yunhua County, and once the Bright Sect sets its sights on Yunhua County after completely occupying Xie Liang County, and attacks Yunhua County in a big way, it will not be good news.
After listening to Wang Ming's report, Yun Yi's face remained unchanged, but he closed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the desk.
For! For! For!
"Now there are more than 3,000 soldiers in Chenyang City, there are innate warriors in the town, there are a lot of city defense equipment, and there is no shortage of food in the city, with the strength of Chenyang City, it is enough to resist five or six thousand enemy troops, even if 10,000 enemy troops attack, it can withstand more than ten days, at that time reinforcements have already arrived, if necessary, you can also mobilize the whole city to resist the enemy army."
"Judging from the current situation, the strength of the Bright Sect is very strong, the number of the Bright Army is more than 500,000, and it continues to increase rapidly, there are a lot of innate martial artists in the Bright Sect, at least dozens of them, and there are countless acquired martial artists, I wonder, how come such a powerful Bright Sect didn't show a little wind before, and it was too well hidden."
"Such a powerful Bright Sect, the Great Li Empire is in trouble, not long after Fang Yao and Fang Ji died, the major families are busy supporting a certain emperor's son and grandson to ascend to the throne, the Bright Sect takes the opportunity to make trouble, the foundation of the family is deep, and the Bright Sect is not weak, even if the Bright Sect fails in the end, it will greatly weaken the strength of the family, this is a good thing, and it is also an opportunity for the Yun Clan, although the Yun Clan discovered Yingzhou overseas, and even more and larger lands will be found in the future, but the land of Shenzhou has always been the foundation of the Yun Clan, Here is the population that the Yun clan needs most. ”
"Taking advantage of the fact that all forces are in a hurry because of the Bright Sect, the Yun clan should show some of their strength, on the one hand, to defend Yunhua County, and on the other hand, to take the opportunity to expand the Yun clan's territory on the land of Shenzhou to absorb more people, the predecessors are not afraid of the sky one by one, they want to go against the sky if they have nothing to do, and at worst, they have to be the king and hegemon, how can I be left behind?"
Thinking back to the information collected by Tianmu and Xunfeng before, in just a few moments, countless pictures appeared in Yun Yi's mind, but in the end, there was only one word left: fight.
"Fighting" is the "battle" for hegemony in the world, the Yun family has Yingzhou in hand, which is already in an invincible position, coupled with the developing steam industry, the strength of the Yun family is not weak, although it is far from being able to confront the Bright Sect or the Dali Empire, but the Yun family is still developing rapidly, and the current chaos is also the best time for the Yun family to expand.
Yun Yi wants to dominate the world, but also needs the support of the Yun family, the Yun family, as one of the families, is the family first, the country last, most of the Yun clan have a little understanding of the strength that the family now has, Yun Yi has ambition in his heart, and some of Yun Yi's elders may also have ambition in their hearts, and the rapid increase in strength is the best soil for breeding ambition.
The creation of the Great Li Empire and the Shengwu Dynasty and the Fang Clan and the Wu Clan were also the same family at the beginning, but now one has become the imperial family and the other has become the imperial family, why can't the Yun clan become the next Fang clan or the Wu clan.
Yunyi's secret expansion of the army did not completely hide it from the elders, and he couldn't hide it, but the elders did not object, it can be seen that they are also supporting Yunyi in their hearts, so they just said it clearly, since this is the case, what are you waiting for?
At present, the situation of the Great Li Empire is dominated by the Bright Sect, the family clan and the Bright Sect are mortal enemies, the clan wants to completely wipe out the Bright Army, the heritage of the clan is profound, but it will take time to completely transform it into strength, so for the time being, the clan will take a defensive position, and the Yun clan should do the same.
Now the Yun clan has only more than 6,000 troops in Yunhua County, 3,000 are the Yun family army, 3,000 are militia (after training, they will also be a member of the Yun family army), the weapons and equipment are complete, but the number is a little small, if the Guangming Sect attacks Yunhua County in the overall situation, even if the 20,000 Guangming army of Jieliang County attacks, Yunhua County will not be able to hold it.
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, if the overall situation of the Bright Sect attacks Yunhua County, then Yunhua County will be dangerous.
Huaili City, the closest county seat to Yunhua County in Xie Liang County, is still in the hands of the government, Huaili County has a good hand, and it is supported by the big families in the city, and the defenders of Huaili City have expanded to more than 2,500 people, as long as it is not a large force of bright troops to attack Huaili City, Huaili City can still be defended for a few days.
In addition, the county order of Huaili City also sent people to Chenyang City to ask for help, under Yun Yi's orders, the Yun family pretended to promise to support Huaili City, but it just needed time to gather troops, hoping that Huaili City could hold out for a few more days.
While there was still time, Yun Yi directly ordered the Tiger Ben Army and the Shenji Battalion in Yingzhou to send a brigade from each of the two armies with a total of 6,000 people back to Yunhua County, with these 6,000 people, even if the 20,000 Guangming Army attacked, the Yun clan could easily block it, and firearms were the killer weapon of the Yun clan.
If all goes well, in about ten days, the 6,000 troops who have returned to the army will be able to arrive in Chenyang City.
In addition to the army that came back, Yun Yi planned to carry out another round of army expansion, with an upper limit of 10,000 people, and add one more brigade to each of the Yunjia Army, the Tiger Army, and the Shenji Battalion.
As for the main soldiers of the expansion of the army, they come from the displaced people who pour into Yunhua County every day from the outside world, and they are selected to join the army and train in Chenyang City nearby.
Speaking of displaced people, after the Guangming Sect uprising, the number of displaced people who poured into Yunhua County increased a lot, mainly from Jieliang County because of the disaster caused by the war, and even Huaili City and other large households in the county towns adjacent to Yunhua County also fled to Yunhua County.
In troubled times, human life is worthless, money is not valuable, only food is the most valuable, it is just that the Yun clan has a lot of grain in his hands, even if the population of Yunhua County continues to skyrocket, it can be supported until this winter, when the new batch of grain is harvested, plus a large number of marine fish caught from the sea, as long as it is supported until next autumn, the grain in the hands of the Yun clan is enough to feed millions of people.
Of course, these are all things for the future, and the most important thing for the Yun clan now is to transfer and expand the army, and at the same time, they have to pay close attention to the situation of the Bright Sect.
In the face of the menacing Bright Sect army, the other clans would be more anxious than the Yun clan.
