630, the end of the two heroes
The rumbling of artillery fire from the front reached the town of Waterloo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wan Yanliang and Frederick were anxiously waiting for the battle report from the front line, no matter whether they won or lost, there should be a battle report from the front line at this time.
But now, an hour has passed since the scheduled time, and they still haven't heard anything.
Sometimes, no news is good news, but more often than not, no news means worse than expected.
Frederick didn't fight much with the Huaxia army, and it was mostly some local conflicts, but Wan Yanliang knew how terrible it would be when Huaxia fought a battle with the strength of the whole country.
"Can't wait any longer, Your Majesty, my advice is to launch an attack on all fronts at once, and if your cavalry wins, then our attack has seized the opportunity and can fight for ten years of peace, if your cavalry loses...... Well, then there's no what ifs, we're the last ......"
When Yan Liang said this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and stopped his words.
Outside, someone shouted: "Airship, airship!" ”
For Huaxia's airship, Frederick has never tasted it, but Wan Yan Liang is extremely jealous, his uncle finished Yan Wushu, but he was killed by the airship.
Therefore, at all times, he sent someone to monitor the sky to prevent the surprise attack of the airship. And the disadvantage of the slow flight speed of the airship also makes his early warning extremely effective.
So as soon as the airship was called outside, Wan Yanliang got up without hesitation: "Where is the basement here, go to the basement immediately!" ”
Frederick didn't dare to take it lightly when he saw Yan Liang's appearance, but fortunately, after taking control of the town, they arranged the basement.
Soon, above their heads, there was a roar.
The airship driven by the steam engine naturally had a considerable amount of noise, but the sound was quickly muffled by the sound of the explosion, which was out of range of the ground muskets, and the airship began to drop bombs.
This is not a solid bomb of ten or fifteen catties, but a huge bomb of 100 catties or even two or three hundred catties!
With Europa's fortress technology at this time, the shells of the anti-field heavy artillery can barely be done, and it is really a little reluctant to prevent this big guy from falling from the sky.
The airships hovered above the forts on the outskirts of the town, dropping bombs one after another, each of which could destroy a fortification. Almost at the same time as the airship, the heavy artillery of the Huaxia Army on the ground also began to roar.
As soon as the cannon roared, Frederick and Wan Yanliang understood that their tactics were bankrupt.
"All over the board...... Attack, attack on all fronts! Frederick was also a hero, and knowing that tactics had failed and that there was a high probability of a crushing defeat, he was not discouraged, but rather provoked gambling. When the airship was gone, he ordered.
"It's late." Wan Yanliang was furious, threw down this sentence and left with his subordinates.
It must be too late, the airships and artillery bombardment of the Huaxia Army means that the Huaxia Army is ready to attack, and in the case of the other party's full preparation, even if the coalition forces still occupy the advantage in numbers, Wan Yanliang does not think that they still have any hope of winning.
In the next battle, as Wan Yanliang predicted, after the Huaxia army destroyed all the fortresses outside Waterloo, this town, together with more than 100,000 allied troops around the town, was like shelled mussel meat, exposed in front of the Huaxia army.
The overwhelming superiority of weapons and ammunition at any cost crushed all resistance, and the first to collapse on the battlefield were the noble princes who were brought by Wan Yanliang and Frederick, who abandoned their positions and began to flee, which gave the Huaxia army a chance.
Originally, Frederick knew that these princes had limited combat power, so he did not dare to put them on the flanks, but arranged their troops in the middle. They collapsed first, and the Huaxia army unscrupulously inserted into the center of the coalition forces, dividing the coalition forces with a small number of forces.
Although Wan Yanliang foresaw this result, he was at a loss for it. Seeing that the tide of the war was developing in the most unfavorable direction, he did not care about the agreement reached with Frederick, and first withdrew from the battlefield.
However, he underestimated Zhou Quan's determination and Yue Fei's will: although Frederick's Holy Roman Empire was a stubborn stone on the way to conquer Europe, the Jin Kingdom that flowed from Liaodong to Europa was a problem for China's henchmen. After the Jin Kingdom slaughtered the Great Food God Cult, its historical role has come to an end, so Europa can have a small area and a small population of the Jin Kingdom, but it cannot have a Jin Empire.
Therefore, the reserve of the Huaxia Army went directly to chase after Wan Yan Liang.
Frederick did not fall well, although the main force of the Huaxia army rushed towards the Jin Kingdom, but the airships and artillery followed behind Frederick. Since the decisive battle was going on this time, the Huaxia army did not allow Frederick to return intact, and Frederick gathered his troops three times in a row, and was defeated by the Huaxia army three times in a row.
Later, Frederick had to give up the idea of regrouping and rode away.
The battle did not last long, from the beginning to the end, it was only four days, but the Huaxia army inflicted a terrible wound on the coalition army at the cost of very small casualties, a quarter of the casualties and nearly half of the captured. Frederick himself escaped from the battlefield, but his strength was greatly reduced, and not long after he returned to his castle, the nobles everywhere rebelled, and he could only be busy conquest of these rebellious nobles.
As a result, during one of the expeditions, he fell into a creek and drowned in the shallow water that reached the horse's ankle because he was unconscious.
Wan Yanliang was able to escape from Persia all the way to Europa, so he naturally had a bit of a ability to escape, and he was pursued by the Huaxia army for five days, but he still escaped.
Although the losses were heavy, Wan Yanliang was not very worried, this time, he brought most of the nations conquered on the side of Europa, his real lineage, the Jurchens, Dangxiang, Huaxia and the people of the Hezhong tribes who came with him all the way to the expedition, but did not suffer too much loss.
In a way, Huaxia Jun helped him clear out the dissidents. It's just that the price of eliminating dissidents is too heavy.
"The two prime ministers, it seems...... We don't have a chance. ”
Seeing that the "central capital" Athens was in sight, Wan Yanliang, who had been silent all the way, sighed for a long time, and his face was full of decadence.
Wu Jialiang and Fang Hao glanced at each other, and the two of them were also full of bitterness.
"This battle, ten years of life together." Wan Yanliang glanced at the place where he came from: "Zhou Quan will not give us a new ten years, since his fleet has reached the blue sea, then, our four capitals are all under his threat...... And he'll buy those barbarians! ”
Wu Jialiang could only sigh: "Time is also, life is also." ”
Fang Hao pondered for a long time, under Wu Jialiang's suggestion, they sent Cai Jiesheng as an envoy to Huaxia to offer a tribute to Zhou Quan, but Cai Jiesheng was silent after sending back the news of the so-called cannibal rebellion, and only heard sporadically that this person was detained by Huaxia and sentenced for traitor.
If it weren't for that, he really wanted to suggest that Yan Liang should send someone to ask Zhou Quan for peace.
"Your Majesty, since Zhou Quan has the sea, we can only go inland, and there are always places that Zhou Quan can't reach." After a long time, Wu Jialiang said again.
"Where?"
"To the north, we moved north, it is said that there is ice and snow all the year round, the summer is short, the winter is extremely cold, China is profit-seeking, the other place is bitter cold, there is no profit, their heart to attack me must not be very strong. Now that Zhou Quan is old and the sons are getting older, as long as we drag it out until he dies and the sons compete for the throne, we may have a chance! Fang Hao said.
This is the result of Wu Jialiang's discussion with him along the way, and Wan Yanliang couldn't help but sigh again when he heard that he was going north to the bitter cold land.
At the beginning, they were bullied by the Liao State in the bitter cold land, and later defeated the Liao State, and finally had a warm place, but they were not happy for a few years, and they were driven away by Zhou Quan.
It seems that the life of the Jurchens is to deal with ice and snow.
"Without further ado, you will leave tomorrow and go back to get ready." Sigh and sigh, Wan Yanliang also knows that this is his only way out, anyway, after so many years, he is used to escaping, and he will escape again.
But he didn't know that he had escaped the pursuit of the Huaxia army, but there was still a pit waiting for him.
Wan Yan Liang's own throne was originally a military coup, if he won this expedition, or if it was not a fiasco, he could still suppress his fellow clansmen after he returned. But now he was defeated, and the prestige he had accumulated over the years was greatly damaged, and when he returned, he immediately faced opposition from his brothers who were also grandchildren of Akuta.
These people united and assassinated Yan Liang when he returned to Athens, the central capital, and then put the charge of assassination on Wu Jialiang and Fang Hao.
Wu Jialiang and Fang Hao both had military power in their hands at this time, and the Chinese people who took refuge in the Jin State were basically in their hands, and as soon as Yan Liang died, the two of them despaired of the Jin State, and then faced with this crime, the two did not hesitate to lead the troops to flee north.
They thought very clearly that as long as they were close to the sea, they would inevitably be pursued by the Huaxia army, so they fled north to the hinterland of Europa as much as possible, and went to places where the Huaxia army could not reach with naval superiority.
The two took their subordinates all the way north, and after hardships, they found a foothold for them. They invaded Kievan Rus' and united the originally divided kingdom into two, and the two established themselves as the main ones, but in order to avoid Chinese taboos, they did not dare to call themselves emperors, but only called themselves kings. Wu Jialiang's country is "Dayu", Fang Hao's country is "Daming", they are afraid of the power of China, after self-reliance, more than once on the list of Huaxia to pay tribute, whether Zhou Quan accepts it or not, the envoy is always constant.
After the two escaped, the Wanyan clan was divided again, the Jurchens were not many, and the Wanyan tribe was even less, and then under the civil war, the "Jin Kingdom" soon fell apart. Some people went north to follow Wu Jialiang and Fang Hao, but more of them went east, kneeling in front of Yang Zaixing and wagging their tails and begging for mercy.
If a large Jin country has become more than a dozen large and small countries in the blink of an eye, the Wanyan Department has completely disappeared in this great division.
These more than ten countries, together with the former European nobles who became independent again, expressed their submission to Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing in more than 60 countries, the largest of which had a population of only two or three million, and the small ones might even have only one city and be called the lord of the country. They are fighting with each other for land, water, minerals, and population, and the situation in the whole of Europa can be described as chaotic.
They also repeatedly asked Huaxia to intervene, and in this regard, Huaxia's attitude has always been "the mountains are high and the waters are far away, and they will not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries", and they will neither come forward to mediate nor arbitrate for anyone.
But weapons like arquebuses, Huaxia sold a lot of them as a support for them.
