Chapter 286: Ping Hongyi

September of the first year of the Divine Dragon Empire is the calmest season on the sea. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The Divine Dragon Empire Expeditionary Force, which had completed the assembly and material preparations, chose the landing time on the night of this day after clearing the obstacles around the Hongyi Country. At this time, the sea was as flat as a mirror, and there was moonlight as illumination, which did not affect the landing operation in the slightest. Yue Jingbo and Gao Pijiang on the Sea Dragon King put down their clairvoyance at the same time, and the two of them looked at the dense group of warships and transport ships around them, and the pride and courage in their hearts burst infinitely.

According to the news sent by Leng Feng, the two princes of Hongyi Kingdom have already arranged their troops and started a small-scale contact battle. To be honest, I am used to seeing Gao Bijiang fighting in large corps, and I really can't look down on the shabby strength of the two princes, and the two princes are ready to fight this time, but the men and horses of the two sides together do not exceed 100,000 people, and if the farmers and old and weak who are temporarily recruited among them are removed, the troops that can fight are only 40,000 or 50,000. For example, the 30,000 infantry cavalry army armed to the teeth under Gao Pijiang's command had no problem defeating these 100,000 troops and eliminating the two princes. As long as the battle is well planned, properly arranged, and the timing is just right, it is not impossible to completely annihilate the enemy army.

The reason why Gao Pijiang chose to land at this time was because he received information yesterday that the two princes had begun to face each other head-on. The location of the battlefield was on the Songle Plain, the largest in the Hongyi Country, about two days away from the landing site. In other words, landing at this time, in the state of accelerated marching, can rush to the battlefield at the time of the final battle between the two princes. Presumably, by the time the 30,000 troops of Gao Bijiang arrived at the Songle Plain, the two princes had broken bones and broken tendons, and their mouths were full of blood. Judging from the intelligence gathered from all sides, the 30,000 horses and horses of Gao Bijiang are already in control, not to mention the 5,000 marines led by Deriman and the 20,000 private soldiers of the Deriman family to help.

Huge transports docked, and when the hatches opened, a steady stream of infantry and cavalry came out. Before landing, Qin Suo had ordered the scout battalion to clear all the seaside guard posts according to the map markups, and the beacon towers that were connected in a line had lost their role in communication.

The Shenlong Empire Expeditionary Force set up a large camp on the coastal heights and set up a defensive line, and the landing base was established. Yue Jingbo and Yang Ligong each dispatched 5,000 naval officers and men to assist in garrisoning the base and ensuring supply and transportation, and Gao Pijiang led 30,000 expeditionary forces and 5,000 marines from Delhiman to the Songle Plain. Along the way, the private soldiers of the Delhiman family waved the lion flag and merged under Delhiman's command, and Leng Feng's spy arrived and took the order after reporting the military situation to Gao Pijiang.

The expeditionary force marched until dawn and arrived at the hereditary fiefdom of the Delhiman family to rest and recuperate. In the fiefdom of the Deliman family, the flag of the Hongyi Kingdom disappeared and was replaced by the flag of the Shenlong Empire and the lion flag of the Deliman family.

After Derriman summoned the elders of the family and the lords of the cities to announce the return of the clan to the Shenlong Empire, the Deleman family swore allegiance to the flag of the Shenlong Empire under the witness of Gao Bijiang. The fiefdoms of the Delhiman family occupy one-third of the total land area of the Hongyi Empire, and most of them are coastal areas, so more than half of the important ports of the Hongyi Empire fell into the hands of the Shenlong Empire Expeditionary Force.

The expeditionary force marched all the way forward, and after entering the control area of the eldest prince of Hongyi, with the assistance of the private soldiers of the Deliman family, they deceived the city gate and detained the officials loyal to the eldest prince, and those who dared to resist were executed on the spot. The private soldiers of the Delhiman family are very good at doing this, and there is no lack of opportunities to take revenge. But Gao Pijiang would not care about this, and in his heart, he wished that he would kill all these diehard loyalists, which would be beneficial to the future rule of the empire in Hongyi Prefecture.

The decisive battle between the eldest prince and the third prince of Hongyi Kingdom on the Songle Plain has begun, and the desire to compete for the throne has made the battle between the two princes extremely fierce. The soldiers of the Hongyi Kingdom didn't know much about politics, but under the heavy rewards offered by the two princes, they were all desperate to kill and forget their lives. The decisive battle began to heat up from the very beginning, and in only half a day from the beginning of the decisive battle, the losses of the troops of both sides reached nearly 30,000. This is simply a disaster for the Hongyi country, which has a small population. You must know that this decisive battle has almost concentrated all the men who can go to the battlefield in the Hongyi Kingdom, except for the Deliman family, on the battlefield. Therefore, even if there is no expedition of the Shenlong Empire, no matter who wins the two princes of the Hongyi Kingdom, the national strength of the Hongyi Kingdom will decline sharply, and it will not be able to recover without more than ten years of hard work.

Richard, the third prince of the Red Kingdom, was a man with a bright mind who was usually obsessed with scientific research. Previously, he had no intention of participating in the battle for the throne, so he was the least powerful of the three princes. But after the eldest prince killed the second prince, Richard directly became a thorn in the eldest prince's side. It was only at this time that Richard realized that his thoughts were too naïve, sometimes it is not that you can fight without fighting, and in the face of the temptation of power, it is too normal for brothers to draw knives against each other.

In order to save his life, Prince Richard had to resist, but the gap in strength could not be made up in a short time, and the eldest prince pressed forward step by step, eager to put Richard to death, and this decisive battle broke out in this situation. Fortunately, Prince Richard usually treats the people in the territory well, and the soldiers under his command also know how to repay the favor, so so far Prince Richard's side can barely support it.

Prince Richard usually doesn't care much about politics, but this doesn't mean that he is an idiot in politics, on the contrary, Richard is smart. Judging from the battle on the first day of the decisive battle, Prince Richard analyzed that no matter how hard he tried, failure was inevitable. Therefore, Prince Richard decided to leave a way out for himself.

In a secluded bay, five large sea ships are ready. In addition to the goods and materials loaded on these five boats, there were also a large number of books and materials, and many famous craftsmen, scholars and family members in Hongyi were also transferred to the ships early. Prince Richard plans to leave the Red Kingdom to find a piece of land as a place for himself, and take those materials and craftsmen with him in order to grow better and stronger as soon as possible in the future. The treasures on the ship were enough to be used as the start-up capital for Prince Richard, and all such important materials and personnel were handed over to the prince's guard, and Prince Richard led the army to fight on the Plain of Songle alone.

The battle between the two princes entered the second day, and the battle was still fierce. The eldest prince, who had the advantage in numbers, had already seized the initiative on the battlefield, and Prince Richard's army was losing and struggling to support it, and Richard knew that defeat was a matter of time, and now he needed to support it for one more day, because there were still two ships carrying men and supplies. But at this moment, an army they had never seen before came from the Songle Plain, and the bright red banner with a golden monster embroidered with teeth and claws on it made the warring sides withdraw from the battle and watch.

After two days of fighting, the troops of both sides lost nearly half, and now the combined forces of both sides are 50,000 and they are all tired. At this time, the eldest prince sent a messenger to Prince Richard, hoping that the two families would join forces to deal with the foreign enemy. Prince Richard handed over the army to the eldest prince without thinking about it, and Richard understood it, just looking at the excellent equipment of those warriors and those weapons that could not be named, he could know that this was definitely a strong army.

Prince Richard immediately rejected the invitation of the eldest prince, and when he knew that the army was the expeditionary force of the Shenlong Empire, which had defeated the expeditionary fleet of the Hongyi Kingdom, Prince Richard had only one wish in his heart, to leave here as soon as possible. So Prince Richard ran, and ran neatly.

The eldest prince originally invited his younger brother out of politeness, but in fact, he didn't want Richard to fight side by side with him. When the eldest prince saw that the opponent's army was only 30,000 and his own side had more than 50,000, he felt that this battle would definitely be won. Win this battle, and Hongyi Country will be his. So the eldest prince briefly put his army in order, and then launched a fierce attack on the expeditionary force. As soon as this attack came up, the whole army attacked, and the eldest prince, who was close to the throne, couldn't wait. However, the expeditionary force taught him a vivid lesson, a lesson that the eldest prince and all the people of Hongyi will never forget.

The field artillery roared, the explosion of the shells shook the earth, and the soldiers of the Red Yi Kingdom had to rush through the six blockades of field artillery, mortars, thunderbolts, crossbows, assault guns, and fire dragon vehicles if they wanted to go head-to-head with the expeditionary force. The soldiers of the Hongyi Kingdom, who were only equipped with cold weapons, used their flesh and blood to compete with these latest war weapons of this era.

The charge of more than 50,000 people is also not to be underestimated, and the scene is also grand. But the price to pay for each step forward is enormous. From the beginning of the charge to the present, no warrior of the Hongyi Kingdom has been able to break through these six lines of defense, and the first three lines of defense alone have made a large number of Hongyi Kingdom warriors bleed.

The private soldiers of the Derriman family, who were behind the expeditionary force, looked at everything in front of them, and the shock in their hearts could be imagined, the powerful combat power of the expeditionary force shocked them, and they were secretly glad that their patriarch Delhiman wisely chose to belong to the Divine Dragon Empire, otherwise there must be themselves among those who were blown up. In this world, strength represents everything, and everyone in the Deleman family has made up their minds from this moment to follow the Divine Dragon Empire with all their hearts.

The eldest prince was shocked and frightened at the moment, but he stubbornly believed that as long as he could break through the six blockade lines, as long as he could fight head-on with this devil-like army, he would definitely be able to win. However, the eldest prince ignored the rapidly decreasing number of Hongyi troops in the smoke of artillery fire at this time, and he just blindly urged the whole army to rush forward.

Gao Pijiang stood on the iron-walled car and put down the clairvoyance in his hand, he sighed and said, "Isn't there a decent enemy?" Is the commander of the other party a pig brain, can't he rush head-on and won't he take a detour from the side? More than 20,000 people have died, why do you still charge like this, don't you know how to change the tactics? Brother Deriman, the generals of the Red Yi Kingdom are really bad, what is this battle called? ”

What else could Delhiman say, at this time the shock in his heart was no less than the others. He had already learned the strength of the Imperial Navy, and it was the first time he had seen the skills of the Imperial Army. Gao Pijiang is right, this is not a war, this is a massacre. Deleman knew that this was not the most elite army of the Empire, and it was only temporarily formed by troops drawn from the Jiangnan Army and the Nanyi Army, and if the elite Imperial Army came to Hongyi Country, it would be ten times more ruthless than the Expeditionary Army.

Deliman knew the names of several powerful armies in the Imperial Army from Murong Feng, and he had also seen the majesty of several major armies at the military parade, so he didn't think it was too much at all, but agreed with it. And Delhiman is still a little complacent, because Gao Pijiang is talking about the Hongyi country, not your Hongyi country. This shows that Gao Pijiang has regarded Derriman and his family as part of the empire, as his own people.

Gao Pijiang didn't care what Derriman thought, he was all about the battlefield. Looking at the soldiers of the Hongyi Kingdom who were ravaged by the artillery fire, Gao Pijiang came to his senses and used the firepower density of the Sky Wolf Cavalry to deal with the Hongyi Kingdom. The Sky Wolf has a ballista team, and it can also compete with the Imperial Artillery, but the soldiers of the Hongyi Kingdom are not even qualified to compete with this one. The navy of the Hongyi country is okay, but the army is not, first of all, there is no very mobile cavalry unit, which greatly reduces the combat efficiency. This is something that can't be helped, Hongyi Country is an island country, and there are few war horses itself, and after the melee of the three princes, there are even fewer cavalry, and it can be said that the 10,000 cavalry of the expeditionary force can sweep the army of Hongyi Kingdom.

Gao Pijiang pinched his fingers and calculated, by this time of the battle, more than half of the more than 50,000 soldiers of the Hongyi Country had been consumed, and it was the event. Gao Pijiang waved his hand, the military horn sounded, and Qin Suo's 10,000 cavalry galloped out from both sides and slaughtered the Hongyi army. In order to avoid accidental injury, half of the field artillery stopped firing, and as the military horn sounded again, the 20,000 infantry led by Niu Zhong slowly moved forward in a neat phalanx. In the course of this movement, the mortars changed from intensive bombardment to focused strikes, and crossbowmen fired crossbow arrows in rows to clear the enemy in their path.

Delhiman's private soldiers also marched side by side with the expeditionary force in a neat phalanx, and this kind of battle that only fought the enemy but the enemy could not fight themselves, made the private soldiers of the Delhiman family full of confidence. Before the war, Derryman said that this battle must be performed well, and whether he can occupy a place in the empire in the future depends on this battle.

Ten thousand iron cavalry swept through the army of the Hongyi Kingdom, and Qin Suo felt as easy as piercing through a layer of window paper. He went straight to the Chinese army of the eldest prince to kill, and a big lance flew up and down, and no one could stop him from turning on his back wherever he passed. The eldest prince watched a general kill him, and all the people couldn't stop him, so he turned around and ran away in panic. The eldest prince has a horse, and it's not bad, but in the face of Qin Suo, who has fought hard, everything seems to be so weak.

The eldest prince had not gone far before he felt a chill in his heart, and when he looked down, he saw a large spear tip peeking out of his chest. The eldest prince didn't shout a word, he fell under the horse, and Qin Suo waved his hand to take off the eldest prince's head and carried it in his hand. Such a bloody scene frightened the soldiers of the Hongyi Kingdom to the point that their hands and feet weakened, and they all put down their weapons and fell to the ground with their hands raised high.

The infantry of the expeditionary force who came later were so angry that they cursed, and repeatedly blamed the soldiers of Hongyi for not fighting well and surrendering, so that the infantry became logistics soldiers to clean up the battlefield. The battle to destroy the country ended like this, and the reason why Qin Suo was ruthless was actually under Murong Feng's orders. That eldest prince must not stay, not only him, but also Prince Richard can't stay, this is necessary for the empire to be able to rule Hongyi Prefecture smoothly in the future.

After carefully interrogating the captives, and learning that Prince Richard had fled, Deleman immediately rushed to the sea with Qin Suo, and when they came to the bay, there was not even a shadow of a sail, and it seemed that they had only hoped for an interception by the Imperial Navy.

When Murong Feng came to the capital of Hongyi Kingdom, the palace of Hongyi Kingdom became the headquarters of the Imperial Navy's ocean-going fleet, and Murong Feng named the capital of Hongyi Kingdom Zhenhai City. Under the auspices of Murong Feng, the Hongyi Kingdom officially went to the country to become the Hongyi Prefecture of the Shenlong Empire, Deliman was inaugurated as the Assassin of Hongyi Prefecture, and Gao Pijiang was appointed as the Governor of Hongyi Prefecture. The Shenlong Empire officially began to establish management institutions at all levels in Hongyi Prefecture, and organized the people of Hongyi Prefecture to build a military port. So far, the Shenlong Empire has obtained an important base to dominate the sea, and has taken a solid step on the road to becoming the overlord of the sea. (To be continued.) )
