Chapter 281: The Liang Dynasty marches

During the black oil refining period, the two divisions of Cheng Changping and Gao Xiangming also set off, and the two of them took away tens of thousands of grenades and rockets from the Firearms City, as well as thousands of explosives bags, and the Firearms City was basically emptied, but Li Yao had enough resources to make gunpowder, so it didn't matter if the Firearms City was emptied, just let the Firearms Bureau continue to manufacture in large quantities!

As long as Cheng Changping and 40,000 people can hold back the Liang Dynasty army, Li Yao will have enough time to make gunpowder and make fuel, and it will not be impossible to completely annihilate the Liang Dynasty army at that time!

Time flies, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, spring has swept the land of Yiguo, spring is coming quickly, and the army of the Liang Dynasty is really ready to march towards Yiguo!

Cheng Changping and Gao Xiangming, who had been training on the Yiguo border for a month, were already familiar with the local terrain and had also contacted Su Feiguang's department, but in addition to exchanging experience in the use of firearms, the two armies did not communicate too much, which was also why Cheng Changping and Gao Xiangming did not want to have too much mixing with this bandit-started army!

Su Feiguang saw that Cheng Changzhu and Gao Xiangming didn't want to have more contact with their own troops, and he didn't bother to deal with these two regular armies.

It has to be said that Cheng Changping and Gao Xiangming have put a lot of effort into this month, they found many favorable ambush points along the way, and carried out offensive drills and retreat drills at these ambush points. Everything is under control, and they are not afraid of the Liang Dynasty spies to scout these places, because they are fighting guerrilla warfare, and it is essential to move quickly and retreat quickly, which is really not much of a problem for a well-disciplined regular army!

However, Su Feiguang is different, they have their own style of play, guerrilla warfare they are indeed very suitable, and with the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, they prefer to rely on the terrain to fight positional warfare, of course, this positional warfare is not to hold the position, but to create a position. They can use their knowledge of the environment to lay ambush traps and fight the enemy!

At this time, the army of the Liang Dynasty had already stationed troops on the border, and this time the Liang Dynasty was definitely a bloody investment, with 250,000 troops all dispatched, 300,000 people, and a total of 550,000 people marching into Yiguo.

In fact, they don't want 300,000 people, why do they need their own country to stick grain when they fight in Yiguo? But there is no way, the desperate plan adopted by the second prince last year has driven out the population of the county, and now it can be said that the total number of counties along the way is less than 100,000 people, and it is simply impossible to get food from these places!

For this campaign to Yiguo, in fact, many people in the Liang Dynasty are opposed, spending so much national strength to attack Yiguo, if it is defeated, it is good to say, if it is not defeated, it is really a big loss, last year Li Yao was able to completely annihilate the tragedy of 100,000 elites of the Liang Dynasty is still echoing in the government and the opposition, although the official statement is that Li Yao's army is about to run out for this, but people with a discerning eye know that Li Yao not only has no vitality and is injured, but also sent cavalry to step on the land of Yiguo, and no one dares to stop it at all, is this like a vitality of the army?

The generals of the Liang Dynasty this time are the first line of the eldest prince, and the second prince lost 100,000 troops last year, although he tried his best to save the situation during the Chinese New Year, but he was still suppressed by the first line of the eldest prince!

Emperor Liang also knew this situation, although he also loved the second prince very much, but the second prince made a mistake after all, if the second prince was still allowed to lead the army, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the government and the opposition!

In fact, Emperor Liang didn't want to send 250,000 troops for a mere Yiguo, and his face must be recovered, but when it came to fundamental interests, Emperor Liang was still unwilling, but the eldest prince didn't think so, if this time he sent troops to Yiguo to defeat Li Yao, this would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the second prince, and only the second prince could compete for the throne with himself, as long as he could prove that he had an advantage over the second prince in this regard, then Emperor Liang's throne could basically be determined to be his own!

Last year, Li Yao was able to defeat the 100,000 army of the Liang Dynasty, it will definitely not be pure luck, 100,000 elites, tens of thousands of troops who have just formed an army were actually wiped out, think about it and feel incredible, there must be other reasons for this, from the officers who were released this time, the eldest prince learned that this time the army was completely annihilated not only because the second prince was incompetent, but also because of firearms, a firearm like thunder, boom, the mouth of the valley was blown up, boom, the army suffered serious casualties, the prince attaches great importance to this situation, Specially sent spies to investigate the situation, not to mention, the shortcomings of firearms have really been investigated, because although firearms are strictly managed, but the soldiers who use firearms can not be managed so strictly, a firearms soldier still did not withstand the temptation of money, and the shortcomings of firearms were said, but after knowing the shortcomings of firearms, they wanted to understand this thing in depth, but the strictness of firearms management is not just talking, even if the craftsman king has to sign after taking the firearms, let alone ordinary soldiers!

Although the prince of the Liang Dynasty did not see the real thing, he already had a countermeasure, he asked the soldiers to march in the humid weather as much as possible, because spring is the time of snow, the weather is very humid, and the spring rain is also very long, so that he can resist Li Yao's headache firearms!

Even so, the eldest prince is not at ease, because Gu Spy reported that Li Yao's army has grown to 300,000, and although the 150,000 elite is not afraid of Li Yao's 300,000 army, but for the sake of insurance, the eldest prince still asked Emperor Liang to increase the army of 100,000, Emperor Liang thought about it and agreed, but in exchange, the logistics of the 250,000 army Liang Dynasty was not responsible for it, and he also knew that the eldest prince had secretly controlled Jiang Guo, and the most important thing in Jiangguo, the land of fish and rice, was food, so the eldest prince agreed!

At the beginning of March, it was a rainy day, and the army of the Liang Dynasty crossed the border of Yiguo and entered Yiguo, while the 20,000 border troops of Yiguo stayed motionless in the county as if they did not see this army!

At this time, Su Feiguang and Chengchangping also received the news of the march of the Liang Dynasty's army, although the rainy weather had a great impact on firearms, but the impact on the Liang Dynasty's army was not small, first of all, the supply of grain and grass, 550,000 people, that is, 550,000 mouths, and there were 20,000 heavy cavalry and 30,000 light cavalry, so the consumption was even greater!

The army of the Liang Dynasty attack was divided into three parts, the first part was the vanguard composed of 10,000 light cavalry and 40,000 foot soldiers for a total of 50,000 people, the second part was the backbone of 20,000 heavy cavalry, 20,000 light cavalry and 100,000 foot soldiers for a total of 140,000 troops, and the third part was the rear army of 60,000 foot soldiers and 300,000 people!
