66 Battle of the Central Plains
The Praetorian Army took action.
Although I am a colonel of the forbidden army, this is a civilian position, and it is a false position, so I have not seen much of the combat troops of the forbidden army before, but I have seen them all in the past few days, because all the army commanders and army commanders have met with Liu Xingchao, the commander of the forbidden army.
The numbers, names, and flags are dazzling, but I can assure you that any one of them is a terrifying existence.
The establishment of the forbidden army is 1 million, including 10,000 forbidden troops (of which 5,000 are the forbidden air force), 10,000 forbidden navy, and the remaining 980,000 are forbidden army forces, divided into ten corps and 49 corps.
Each corps has 200 tanks, 150 cannons, 500 armoured vehicles or trucks, and each soldier has a pistol, rifle, submachine gun, and the rest of the grenades, daggers, gas masks, and some even gas grenades.
Every soldier of the forbidden army applied for it by himself, and then carefully selected, they were all eunuchs, absolutely loyal only to their superiors, and their superiors were loyal to their superiors, until the supreme commander, the commander of the forbidden army.
There has never been a time in history when there has been a change of dynasty without the nod of the forbidden army, which is the real emperor in this world.
In addition to a small number of forbidden armies scattered throughout the world (for example, the forbidden army will garrison hundreds or thousands of troops in every provincial capital or important fortress), and in addition to the 10,000 navy, a total of 950,000 forbidden troops have all been concentrated in Chang'an.
If you look at them only on the surface, and think back to the enthronement parade five years ago, you will feel that they are even inferior to those showmanship. But the flower frame is the flower frame, they have proven their flower frame, they died in the Central Plains, they died in Hebei, they died in Gyeonggi.
These seemingly scattered forbidden armies are invincible in the world. Because they know that they can't win a battle if they walk well.
The 500,000 government troops of the Li clan in Longxi, the 500,000 government army of the Hongnong Yang clan, the 400,000 government army cavalry of the Liangzhou Dongfang clan, the 400,000 government army cavalry of the Jin clan in Liaoxi, the millions of unsuccessful royal army, the tens of thousands of troops of Jinyiwei, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of other departments, they were all trembling with fear, and even the 100,000 Mongolian and Western Regions army who had been making trouble in Chang'an were so frightened that they hid behind the window, because what they saw was such a scene:
In front were thousands of tanks smoking, in the middle were tens of thousands of trucks full of gun-wielding proscribed troops, behind were thousands of cannons, and finally countless heavy servants pulling weapons, ammunition, and dry rations.

The streets of the military district of Chang'an City are very wide, and it seems that they were originally designed for military parades.
More than 900,000 forbidden troops stood on the street, and they faced Liu Xingchao on the headquarters building of the forbidden army.
Liu Xingchao stood in front of the loudspeaker and spoke to the forbidden army:
"My loyal soldiers of the Praetorian Army:
Now the five provinces are in rebellion, and the world is in chaos.
We, as the defenders of the world order, must not allow this to happen!
Without further ado, let's go now and crush them! Bomb Hebei, Central Plains, Liaodong, Lingnan, and Shanxi into ruins! ”
-

950,000 people shouted: "Loyalty to the Forbidden Army!" The forbidden army is invincible! ”
Listen, none of them say allegiance to the emperor.
In the Ming Dynasty, even a had to be loyal to the emperor, and the most powerful forces gathered together, and they only said that they were loyal to the forbidden army.
But who has the way, who calls people a forbidden army!
Liu Xingchao left 200,000 forbidden troops to guard Chang'an, and the commanders of these forbidden armies were his confidants and were absolutely loyal.
He was to ensure the safety of the palace and watch out for the senate and other troops.
He specially said to Lin Anfu, the commander of the First Army: "You are stationed in the palace and keep an eye on the Senate!" ”
Lin Anfu saluted and said, "Absolutely no problem!" ”
The remaining 750,000 forbidden troops left Tongguan.

In the past, it was said that the strength of an army depends on how many horses it has.
Therefore the soldiers of the north are more powerful than the soldiers of the south, because they have more horses; And the clan army was even more powerful, because not only did each of them ride one horse, but they were also followed by two empty horses.
Now, 750,000 troops of the forbidden army are out of the pass, not a single horse is left, and their infantry is all sitting in trucks.
In general, it is taboo to separate the army.
And the forbidden army is so much, dozens of armies will be scattered as soon as they leave Tongguan, just like a plate of beans sprinkled on the ground, whoever wants to fight will fight whomever you want, and the city will be your territory after the battle.
However, Liu Xingchao had another purpose for separating them - I will talk about it later.
Poor Central Plains, I don't know what kind of evil I have created, I am beaten every year, and I was just beaten this spring, and I will be beaten again in autumn, and this time it is even more terrible.
At first, several counties resisted, but a few shells from the Forbidden Army tanks blew up the city walls.
The rest of the counties simply opened their doors and surrendered.
The first county-level county seat that the forbidden army encountered in the Central Plains was Xinyang County.
The 200 tanks and 150 cannons of an army lined up under the Xinyang city wall, and each fired a few shots at the city wall, and the entire city wall became a puddle of bricks and stones.
Kaifeng City, the former provincial capital of the Central Plains, was more difficult to fight because her walls were too thick.
After a few days of bombardment by hundreds of tanks and artillery from several armies, the defenders raised the white flag.
When hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops were ravaging the Central Plains, the Shanxi army was watching the excitement on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Shanxi doesn't know if it counts as treason now, they didn't say rebellion, nor did they say they didn't rebel, but Liu Xingchao said that they rebelled, that is, rebellion. The Shanxi army gave full play to their defensive characteristics, blew up the Yellow River bridge, and then built countless pillboxes and fortresses, piled up countless sandbags, and dug countless trenches on the north bank of the Yellow River, perhaps to prevent Zhao Zhengbao, or perhaps to guard against the imperial court.
The forbidden army didn't say a word, and the artillery fired wildly at Shanxi.
The Shanxi army was lively on the north bank of the Yellow River, but I didn't expect the artillery of the forbidden army to hit dozens of kilometers! Countless pillboxes, fortresses, sandbags, and trenches became the graves of the soldiers.
The Shanxi army really brought blood mold, and there were more dead people than the Central Plains army. Because the Central Plains Army surrendered when they met, the forbidden army still had the excellent quality of not killing prisoners.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhengbao blew up all the Yellow River bridges in Shanxi and the Central Plains, otherwise I am afraid that the whole of Shanxi would also fall - strange, why do I say the word fall, it should be recovered!

In less than ten days, the Central Plains were all recovered except for Luoyang.
After all, Luoyang is Luoyang, Tokyo, and it is difficult to bite it with the firepower of the forbidden army.
For example, the forbidden army is a swarm of ants, and Luoyang is a dead elephant. You can beat it, but you have to be patient and gnaw slowly.
The forbidden army tanks and artillery fired a cannon at the Luoyang city wall, and it could be bombarded down a few meters, but the city wall of Luoyang was dozens of kilometers long, hundreds of meters thick, and dozens of meters high, and it was still reinforced concrete.
The forbidden army bombarded the main gate for a day, and the big iron gate was blown into powder, but it was found that the other party had blocked the city gate! And it's also blocked by reinforced concrete!
Liu Xingchao ordered tanks to bombard the city walls, while artillery bombarded the city indiscriminately.
The first day was fine, the second day was fine, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth days were fine, and the problem was on the seventh day.
Late at night on the seventh day, the eight armies besieging the city, with a total of 160,000 men, were sleeping, when suddenly a large number of people who did not know where to hide rushed towards the camp of the forbidden army.
The forbidden army is really not vegetarian, and it is still heavily guarded in the case of absolute superiority, and the heavy machine guns of the forbidden army on duty are firing wildly at them.
But those people are still not afraid to charge to the death, they are not here to throw bombs at all, they themselves are bombs, and they are gas bombs! Those poisonous gases were so powerful that when a bottle of poisonous gas was thrown down, all the people around them died dozens of meters away.
The gas quickly spread to the Heavy Heavy, who died in a convulsion, though someone turned off the alarm before dying.
The forbidden army is really powerful, those sleeping forbidden soldiers heard the alarm device, got up and picked up their weapons and rushed out, it turned out that they didn't take off their clothes.
A few of them died at the smell of poison, but all the remaining ones immediately put on gas masks and joined in the massacre of the attackers.
It was only during the day that it was clear that the Praetorian camp was full of the bodies of the attackers.
These attackers were all members of the Cult of God (of course, according to the words of the Imperial Court, the False Cult Army). They wore strips of red cloth on their heads, on which were painted red crosses, and many of the Divine Books fell out of their arms.
Liu Xingchao was furious and ordered a bombardment of Luoyang, but it was obvious that he did not have the momentum that he had just entered the Central Plains half a month ago, for the simple reason that the artillery shells and diesel fuel of the forbidden army were not enough.
Exchanging the cannonballs of the forbidden army for the city wall of Luoyang is simply exchanging beef for shit, and you will lose a few gold if you shoot it, which is not something that can be printed back by printing money in the inner court.
So the situation in the Central Plains stabilized in this way.
Although Luoyang has still not recovered, the world's taxes and materials have been able to come, and the price of food in Chang'an has dropped a lot, and there is no need to supply food in rations.

Emperor Zhu Honghua was very satisfied with the exploits of the forbidden army, and Liu Xingchao also asked the emperor to reward the 25th, 29th, and 39th armies of the forbidden army, because they paid a heavy price for attacking the suicide gas troops of the Central Plains army, and almost all of them were wiped out.
Ha, you're stupid to believe his nonsense!
No one can defeat the forbidden army, only the forbidden army can destroy the forbidden army, therefore, those three armies are eliminated by the forbidden army!
The commanders of the 25th, 29th, and 39th armies of the forbidden army were recognized as confidants of the senators, and the commanders of the 25th and 29th armies also competed with Liu Xingchao for the positions of chief and commander of the forbidden army.
These three armies were wiped out by the other armies unsuspectingly, and there was not a single person left, and even the tanks were blown to scrap metal.
This is the real purpose of the Battle of the Central Plains!
This is the real purpose of the Battle of the Central Plains!
This is the real purpose of the Battle of the Central Plains!
Destroy all the forces of the Senate, and then reorganize the Senate!

I sighed.
Ah, 60,000 soldiers!
It's the essence of the world!
They didn't come by being caught, but I came out to break into the world just like me who was unwilling to be a shitman, chicken, or tenant in a small village all my life.
They are flesh and blood, thoughts and feelings, and they all die just because they chose the wrong person.
That's why I want to tell you that you have to do things with the right people.
If you follow the wrong person, you will die in vain, and you will die a hundred; And if you follow the right person, you can be promoted and make a fortune.
But then I thought, how can people know and follow people, not gods?
This is a false proposition!
It's all nonsense!
Well, I didn't say it.
