Chapter 420: Preparations Before the War (I)
In the colorful fireworks that bloomed in the sky, the new year passed, and the twelfth year of the Qin calendar arrived.
The plan of the year lies in spring, the festive New Year phase is about to pass, and people are about to start busy with life for the new year.
The weather has not yet fully warmed, and the ice and snow have not yet completely melted, but the countries on the land of China are already actively preparing for a new war.
The northwest region of the land of China
Last winter, the state of Chu had been completely occupied by the Dayue Empire, and now Anguo is a million-strong army of the Dayue Empire in the south and east, but an endless sea in the west and north.
In the previous hundreds of years, An and Chu helped each other to repeatedly resist the Dayue Empire. The invasion of the army, but now that the entire territory of Chu has fallen to the enemy, the remnants of Chu have retreated to Anguo, and Anguo is a lonely country, how can it resist the million-strong army of the Dayue Empire?
Now there are only three ways in front of Anguo: flee, surrender, and resist to the death.
Fleeing was just a matter of thinking, and the possibility of achieving it was almost none, and the vast sea and the million-strong army of the Da Yue Empire surrounded Anguo.
Surrender? How could the hatred that had accumulated for hundreds of years be able to surrender, if the high-level people of An Guo and Chu were weak people, then An Guo and Chu State would have become part of the Da Yue Empire long ago.
Even though the state of Chu had fallen to the enemy, the whole country of Anguo still decided to resist to the death and swore to live and die with the country.
On the land of Angola countries, twelve-year-old boys, women, elderly people, and countless people have taken up weapons, their weapons may be simple farm tools, may be just a kitchen knife, or even a wooden stick, sharpened wooden guns, in order to defend their homeland against the invaders, almost all the people of Angola are soldiers.
Anguo is actively preparing, the Dayue Empire is also preparing, Chu has been occupied, and only Anguo is left, but the Dayue Empire does not take it lightly and faces Anguo cautiously.
Since the complete fall of the Chu State, there have been a large number of spies from the Dayue Empire who have penetrated deep into the territory of Anguo, and their task is only to win over the powerful people of Anguo as much as possible.
After all, anyone can see that as long as there is no accident, after the fall of the Chu State, Anguo will only follow in the footsteps of the Chu State, in this case, even if the mainstream of Anguo is to resist to the death, there will be some people inside who are unwilling to accompany Anguo to the fall of the Dayue Empire, with the help of such people, the loss of the Dayue Empire to take Anguo will be reduced a lot.
There are also some spies of the Dayue Empire who have released all kinds of rumors among the Angolan people, saying that "the Dayue Empire will treat the people of Anguo the same as the people of the Dayue Empire." "Angolan people will be exempt from tax for three years in the future. "Angolan people who surrender voluntarily will be rewarded with food. ”
Although the common people of Anguo have a deep hatred for the Da Yue Empire, there are also a small number of ordinary people who are tempted.
It's hard to understand the human heart.
The southeast region of the land of China
Today, the Bright Sect has controlled three-fifths of the territory of the original Great Liang Empire, with a population of more than 17 million under its rule, and the total strength of the Bright Army is as high as 850,000.
The theory of world darkness of the Illuminati Cult has indeed brought about earth-shaking changes in the minds of the common people under the rule of the Illuminati.
Before the advent of the Illuminati Sect, people would not think about other things, and they would be busy every day in order to live from morning to night, even so, the family would often go hungry, and those landlords and families, they did not need to work, but they lived a life of fine clothes and food, and they could even scold ordinary people at will.
Now, under the propaganda of the Illuminati, the common people understand that the world has always been shrouded in darkness, the family is the spokesperson of darkness, the ruler of the empire is the family, the officials are the family, and the landlords are also the family, under the oppression and exploitation of the family, the common people live a difficult life and have been struggling on the line of death.
It was the Illuminati that led them out of the darkness, and it was the Illuminati that brought light to their lives.
It doesn't take much, just a few months under the rule of the Illuminati, and most of the common people have already fallen to the side of the Illuminati.
Although the Illuminati Sect has occupied three-fifths of the territory of the former Great Liang Empire, the Illuminati Sect has been preaching to the common people that "the heart of the family will not die, and we must work together to defeat the family."
Under the propaganda of the Bright Sect, the common people enthusiastically participated in the Bright Army, which made the strength of the Bright Army increase rapidly.
Yuan Chang summed up the reasons for the failure of his father Yuan Hao in the Dali Empire, and did not blindly expand the army, the Guangming Army must maintain quality, no matter how much the quantity is, if there is no quality, it will be difficult to achieve a big thing, if it is not under the control of Yuan Chang, with a population of 17 million under the rule of the Guangming Sect, the total strength of the Guangming Army has already exceeded one million.
In fact, there is still a big gap between Yuan Chang and his father Yuan Hao, when he was in the Dali Empire, the Guangming Sect opened mines and smelted iron to build weapons, and all parts of the Guangming Sect were scattered throughout the Dali Empire, after decades of development, Yuan Hao gave an order, and the Guangming Sect had the tendency to sweep the world, if it were not for Yunyi and Wang Shuo, the Bright Sect might also replace the Dali Empire.
Today's Illuminati is much worse, if it weren't for the support of the Great Qin Empire, a large number of weapons and armor transported by sea, as well as the earth-shattering "Divine Punishment Thunder", I'm afraid it would be difficult for the Illuminati to confront the Great Liang Empire, not to mention the intervention of the Shengwu Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms of Ji Luo Zhao.
The snow and ice are about to melt, and the war is about to resume.
On the west side of the Illuminati Sect, nearly 500,000 troops of the Great Liang Empire have been assembled, this is the last main army of the Great Liang Empire, in order to encircle and suppress the Bright Sect, the Great Liang Empire, which has suffered a great loss of strength, is going all out, if it is impossible to destroy the Bright Sect this time, then the Great Liang Empire is really going to end.
On the northwest side of the Bright Sect, the 500,000 troops of the Holy Martial Dynasty are also ready to go, and unlike the Great Liang Empire, which has suffered a great loss in strength, although the Holy Martial Dynasty was attacked by the Bright Sect once and suffered a lot of losses, but the foundation of the Holy Martial Dynasty is still there, and it is easy to gather an army of 500,000.
On the northeast side of the Illuminati Sect, the Three Kingdoms of Ji Luo and Zhao gathered about 300,000 troops, the Illuminating Sect is a huge threat to the Three Kingdoms of Ji Luo and Zhao, and the Great Liang Empire is also a huge threat, if possible, the Three Kingdoms of Ji Luo and Zhao will destroy the Great Liang Empire and the Illuminati Sect.
On the one hand, there are more than 1.3 million troops in five countries, including the Great Liang Empire, the Shengwu Dynasty, and the Three Kingdoms of Ji Luo Zhao, but on the other side, there are only the Bright Sect itself, oh, it is not the Bright Sect itself, and there is also the material support of the Great Qin Empire behind it, the Bright Sect has 850,000 soldiers, many elites, and has the battlefield weapon "Divine Punishment Thunder".
If necessary, the Illuminati can continue to recruit troops, bringing the total strength of the Bright Army to more than one million.
The war is approaching, and the Illuminati Sect has called on the people under its rule to move to the southwest, and on the battlefield, the enemy will not care whether you are a civilian or not, and there are even armies who like to kill the good and take the risk.
