Chapter 487: Descending Kaifeng, the sky collapses to begin
"What do you want so many arquebuses and black powder for? Even I had a hard time getting my hands on that many arquebuses. ”
The lord of Hirado Castle, Taira Yoshimori, was confronted with Mi Zhu, who once again asked for the purchase of arquebuses and gunpowder, and thought that Mi Zhu was a little greedy.
Last time, he sold 500 arquebuses to Mi Zhu at a high price and made a huge profit, Mi Zhu did not feel expensive, but continued to trade, with the momentum of wanting to buy all the firearms on Kyushu Island.
"We have the money, I can take as many arquebuses and black powder as you can get."
Mi Zhu seems to be very greedy.
Mi Zhu was also very helpless.
Chutian wants to form a 5,000-strong Shenji battalion, and the number of arquebuses needed is staggering, and he can only buy them from Tanegashima, which specializes in iron cannons (arquebuses).
Taira Yoshimori had a trade with Tanegashima, so arquebuses could be bought.
For the sake of the Shenji Battalion, Chu Tian repeatedly urged Mi Zhu to buy arquebuses.
Ping Yisheng hesitated, and after finding that he was on the thief ship, it was difficult to get out.
He secretly engaged in iron cannon trade with the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and no other daimyo knew about it.
If Chu Tian publicizes the matter of the iron cannon trade between the two sides, Ping Yisheng may not be able to gain a foothold among the Dongying player group.
Although Taira Yoshimori made huge profits from the iron cannon trade, he risked a lot of public opinion. He can only keep trading with Mi Zhu, and then get more profits from the iron cannon trade.
Mi Zhu asked people to bring a box of gold from Jiaodong, and when he opened the box, even Ping Yisheng's pupils couldn't help but dilate.
Mi Zhu pushed a box of gold over: "It's just a deposit. ”
Chutian's forces have a large population, and their monthly tax revenue is staggering, and their volume is hundreds of times that of Hirado City.
In short, compared with Ping Yisheng, Chutian is equivalent to a large landlord to a small landlord.
"I'll try to get you five hundred arquebuses."
Ping Yisheng wanted to refuse Mi Zhu's request to buy iron cannons again, but Mi Zhu gave too much.
After Mi Zhu used gold to open the way and solve the matter of buying the second batch of arquebuses, he talked with Ping Yisheng about the epic battle of Dongying.
"This battle was the 'Genpei War', a war between the two samurai clan groups of the Genji and the Heira clan for power at the end of the Heian period. If Oda Nobunaga takes first place again, he may unify Shishima. At that time, I will be a retainer of the Oda family. ”
Taira Yoshimori mentions to Mi Zhu the changes in the four islands of Dongying.
Oda Nobunaga already has a tendency to unify the four islands.
The biggest difference between the unification of Dongying and the Eastern Han Dynasty is that the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty fought a tragic annexation war that razed the other party's forces to the ground, while Dongying often only needed to force the other party to submit. The level of difficulty is not the same.
A place like Dongying should have nothing to do with Xuzhou.
Although Mi Zhu noticed the changes in Dongying, he didn't pay much attention to it, because the focus of Chutian's expansion was not in Dongying.
……
In the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the first lord Catherine has disappeared for several months, and it is usually the adjutant Sophia who handles affairs.
Inside the castle in St. Petersburg, dozens of physicians came and went, and a squad of Boyer cavalry blocked the castle.
"Several lords of Siberia called for help, and they claimed to have been attacked by Mongol cavalry in Siberia."
"The Mongol Empire had already begun to expand, and if they could not resist, they could migrate to the west with their population. Siberia is thousands of miles away from St. Petersburg, and on the other side is the Mongol Empire, and even if we send 200,000 cavalry to Siberia, we will be overwhelmed by the cavalry of the Mongol Empire. ”
Sophia held down the saber and did not agree to support Siberia.
As a loud cry rang out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Sweating profusely, Catherine lay on the bed, her long blond hair was messy and her face was pale, and her child was finally born.
"Your Excellency, a brave boy."
Sofia carried the child to Catherine's bedside.
Catherine looked at her child with some doting.
Sophia's expression was a little worried: "The European countries are already hostile to our Grand Duchy of Moscow, and if they know that the little duke is half an Oriental, they may have even more hostility towards us." ”
"They won't find out, as long as I don't admit it."
"But Lord Duke, little Duke, his pupils are black......"
“……”
Ekaterina also just shook her head, things will be troublesome in the future.
"You really don't plan to tell the child's father about this?"
"No one can spread the word."
"Then the next epic battle, the 'Battle of Chud Lake', do you want to go out in person?"
"Of course."
……
All civilizations are embarking on epic battles at almost the same time. Civilizations such as Toei and the Grand Duchy of Moscow all had their own battles, and various daimyo and lords entered to prepare to enter the battlefield.
Chu Tian gathered 10,000 people in Xia City.
These 10,000 people, all of whom are high-level soldiers, are equipped with one strategist and five generals.
Chutian didn't know the situation on the side of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and in fact, Catherine had rarely contacted him.
Xue Rengui, Joan of Arc, Artoria, Le Yi, and Li Guang were ready outside the city.
The time of this epic battle was relatively short, and the number of generals sent at the same time was not large, so Chutian only regarded it as a normal expedition.
Just the time to besiege Yecheng is far longer than the battle of Jingkang.
Attacking fortified cities is more difficult than defending them. Chu Tian would rather defend the city than engage in a long siege.
"You command Mulan's Iron Eagle Scout."
Chu Tian handed over Mulan's Iron Eagle Scout to the command of Joan of Arc, who had no soldiers and horses. In the previous national war, Joan of Arc once took over from Mulan to manage the Iron Eagle Scout, so she is familiar with the road.
Joan of Arc herself seems to like to be Mulan's replacement and happily takes on the task.
Except for Le Yi and Chu Tian, the other four generals all had a certain amount of force, cutting hundreds of low-level soldiers, and they were captured.
The black-pressed Xuanjia Army, the Western knights who only showed a pair of eyes, the shooting battalion with longbows and quivers, the Yanjia soldiers with halberd shields, and the Tang Dynasty archers with white horses and silver armor, although there were only 10,000 people, these 10,000 people were either veterans of a hundred battles or ninth-order troops.
"You can do your best in this battle."
Chu Tian did not ask them to fight to the death. These are all elites, and after they are all spelled out, they will suffer a great loss to Chutian.
"Let the last general shoot this longbow and shoot that golden vulture to death with one arrow."
Li Guang showed off his longbow to Chu Tian.
Since the National War, Li Guang has rarely performed in the main world, and this time he can't hold back and is eager to try.
"It's a good thing that General Lee has such courage."
Chu Tian saw that Li Guang was full of courage, and of course he would not pour a basin of cold water on Li Guang.
In Taiyuan City, Zhao Long asked the commander Yang Su, Ju Yi and other generals to continue to besiege the city, surrounded the three layers inside and outside the city, and personally led Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He and other generals to go on the expedition.
"Liu Bei will bring at least one brother as an escort to protect his own safety. But I want him to take advantage of Chu Zimou's absence to relieve the siege of Yecheng. ”
Zhao Long asked people to send a message to Liu Bei, asking Liu Beijun to relieve the siege of Yecheng when Chutian left the Hebei battlefield.
The grain and grass in Yecheng can no longer last for three months.
In the plains, the lord Tian Qi returned to this place and selected the god Sun Bin, the military general Tian Ji, and three warriors, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi.
"Tian Dan guards the city, and it should be easy to deal with Yu Ban. In the battle of Hebei, whether Zhao Long wins or Chu Zimou wins, I have to increase my chips and give it a go. ”
Tian Qi only left Tian Dan and a few generals to defend the city, and then personally led the team to participate in the Battle of Jingkang.
The Battle of Jingkang was an opportunity for some less powerful lords - as long as the lords participated in the national war, they could get a random recruitment order.
The possibility of random recruitment orders is too great, and some lords who are not powerful and dependent on others may turn the tables with this magical prop.
If there is no such prop, then some small and medium-sized lords may not be willing to participate in epic battles and be a stepping stone for others.
"Third brother, you go with me this time, and the rest of you will follow the orders of the military advisor and relieve the siege of Yecheng."
Liu Bei took Chen Xi and Zhang Fei away, leaving most of the generals behind to defend Handan and coerce Yecheng.
Liu Bei was not sure to compete for the first place, and focused on the main world.
However, in this Jingkang Rebellion, the Jin soldiers were strengthened, and if Liu Bei was not careful, he would be slaughtered by the Jin soldiers. So Liu Bei took Zhang Fei away as a bodyguard.
Chen Xi, the commander of the Yiren Army, had a better understanding of the situation of the Battle of Jingkang, so he acted as Liu Bei's right and left hand in this battle: "The Jin soldiers attacked in two ways, the commander of the Eastern Route Army Wanyan Zongwang, 80,000 people attacked Kaifeng, and the commander of the Western Route Army Wanyan Zonghan, 50,000 guarded Tongguan and 70,000 attacked Kaifeng, a total of 150,000 people. After the number was doubled, the number of golden soldiers was 300,000. General Zhang Fei, you must be careful of the Jin generals, as well as the elite cavalry of the Jin soldiers, Tiefutu and Kidnapping Horses. ”
Chen Xi believes that if the Jin soldiers are not strengthened, most of the generals of the Jin State will be vulnerable in the face of Zhang Fei's force, but in the Battle of Jingkang, the force of all the Jin generals is +5.
In other words, if the true force of a Jin State military general is 93, then his force in the copy of the Battle of Jingkang is 98!
If there is a Golden General whose real strength is 95, the temporary strength in the dungeon is 100!
That's where the difficulty lies.
The elite cavalry of the Golden Soldier is the Iron Floating Horse and the Kidnapping Horse, and after the attribute +100%, it is equivalent to the enhanced high-level cavalry.
Unless there is a cavalry unit like Chu Tian with attributes such as "Sealing Wolf Juxu", "Han Wu", and "Blue Wolf White Deer", it can narrow the gap with the strengthened Tiefutu.
Zhang Fei grinned, waved the Zhangba snake spear in his hand, and faintly made a sound of breaking the air: "No matter what kind of bird he is, I will stab them to death with a spear!" ”
Chen Xi shook his head, this time he had to pray that there would be no generals with a force of 95 or more among the Jin soldiers, otherwise after the strengthened Jin soldiers, their strength would reach 100, or even exceed 100 (still showing 100).
"This time, Wang Jian and Wen He were stationed in Hanyang County to put pressure on Longxi County. Zhou Bo, Xun Yu and others were stationed in Guanzhong, and Lu Bu, Yang Dayan, Meng Tian and others followed me to participate in the Battle of Jingkang. ”
The strategy of the old Qin and Chu Tian was similar, fighting on two fronts, participating in epic battles while laying out in the main world.
Lao Qin's offensive against Liangzhou turned into a defensive position.
Jia Xu said to him: "Please go to the war, there are subordinates and Wang Jian here, and Liangzhou will be owned by the lord in the near future." ”
"It depends on whether Chu Zimou led the capture of Hebei, or I took the lead in capturing Liangzhou. If anyone can take a step faster, then he can have the advantage. ”
In order to attack Liangzhou, Lao Qin tried his best.
He was already one or two steps slower than Chu Tian, and if he was one step slower when expanding, then the situation would be extremely unfavorable to Old Qin.
Guanzhong and Liangzhou together, can barely compete with Henan and Hebei, but Chutian is not only two places, but also Huainan and Qilu.
"Old Qin stopped attacking Longxi, what was he thinking? Do you want to go all out to prepare for the Battle of Jingkang? Only he and Mingguan can compete with Chu Zimou for Yue Fei's place. ”
As the opponent of the old Qin, Xu Fengnian judged that the old Qin wanted to temporarily give up the offensive in the main world in exchange for going all out to fight for points in the battle of Jingkang.
"I, Wang Yanzhang, and Ma Chao went to participate in this battle, and as for the others, they still adopted guerrilla tactics, plundered the back roads of the Guanzhong Army, cut off their grain and grass, and burned their grain trucks."
Xu Fengnian also wanted to fight. Take Wang Yanzhang as a guard to prevent being killed by Jin Bing, in addition, he plans to take Ma Chao to experience, increase Ma Chao's experience, and let Ma Chao grow up as soon as possible.
The current Ma Chao leaving Xiliang will not weaken Xiliang's strength much, because Ma Chao has not yet grown to the peak.
In order to mix up a random recruitment order, Xu Fengnian could only go in person, hand over Liangzhou to other lords and Han Sui to guard, and continue to confront Wang Qian.
Wang Jian wanted to capture Longxi, which the lords of Longxi had worked hard to operate for many years, and it was extremely difficult. The lords of Longxi did not lack cavalry at all, and coupled with the use of guerrilla tactics, they forcibly delayed the offensive of Wang Qian's army for many months.
After Jiangdong, Chaisang, and Sun Jian returned to this place, they took a temporary rest. He can participate in the war as a prince, and the current Sun Jian has not been completely annexed by Tongque, and is still an active prince. He and Tongque can go to participate in the Battle of Jingkang separately with a quota of two people.
"Ce'er, as well as Zhou Tai, Zu Mao, Dong Ping, and Hua Rong will go with me."
Sun Jian ordered a few generals and went to participate in the Battle of Jingkang together.
On the other side, Tongque also selected a few of the generals to participate in the battle. He ordered Liu Renzhan to hold Huiji County, and then ordered a few generals to sweep Shanyue.
"This time, the Beifu Army will be sent to experience. The Beifu Army fought on land, and it was also a good hand, as well as the strategist Chen Ping. ”
Tongque took away Chen Ping, a strategist second only to Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty.
In order to participate in the Battle of Jingkang, the princes Myeongguan also relaxed their attacks on the Goryeo Kingdom, and the Goryeo Kingdom was able to breathe.
Xia Liang stood on the hillside outside Yecheng, followed by Hua Mulan, Li Xiuning, Dian Wei, Wei Chigong and other military generals.
Her eyes first looked at Yecheng, which was flooded by the flood, and then looked in the direction of Fukou. Fukou Cheng, one of the eight Taihang Mountains, Liu Beijun supported Yecheng from Taiyuan County, which was to go to Fukou.
All the princes were waiting for the "Battle of Jingkang" to begin. Some of the princes sent their main forces, while some of the princes still focused on the Overworld, sending only a team of ordinary soldiers and horses to mix points.
"Ding! The fourth epic battle, the Battle of Jingkang, counts down to ten minutes. ”
"One minute countdown."
Chu Tian's hand pressed on the cadre's sword, ready for battle.
The Battle of Jingkang was the most humiliating battle in the Song Dynasty.
Although the Song Dynasty lost many important battles, none of them were more humiliating than the Battle of Jingkang.
Two emperors, Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong, were taken captive.
In fact, whether Song Huizong and Qinzong were captured by Jin Bing, Chu Tian didn't care at all, because the shame of the Battle of Jingkang had a lot to do with them.
But Chutian must not lose.
The scene in front of him changed, and Chutian entered the Kaifeng battlefield.
In the first year of Jingkang, leap November, that is, the first month of the Gregorian calendar, the cold winter, heavy snow, Kaifeng City was surrounded by 300,000 gold soldiers.
The army of the Jin State, with Wanyan Zongwang as the commander of the East Route Army, and Wanyan Zonghan as the commander of the West Route Army, went south from Hebei and Taiyuan respectively, all the way to the ground, and countless generals of the Northern Song Dynasty were killed in battle, and the reinforcements from all walks of life were successively broken by the Jin soldiers.
The East Route Army and the West Route Army met under Kaifeng City.
Chu Tian led 10,000 people to the city, and before he could observe the surroundings, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing from the outer city!
With a sonorous sound, Chu Tian pulled out his sword.
The battle-hardened Chu Tian has a keen intuition about danger, and a big war has broken out!
Li Guang took out his bow and arrows, Artoria pulled out the holy sword, while Joan of Arc held the holy flag, and Xue Rengui held Fang Tian's halberd, the sword was tense, and he could enter the battle at any time.
Chu Tian looked around, surrounded by towering city walls, and behind, there was an inner city that also had a city wall.
Chu Tian reacted immediately, his location should be between the inner city and the outer city of Kaifeng City.
And the shouts of battle came from the outer city.
Outside the city, the defeated Song soldiers fled into the city,
Li Guangyi took the lead and stretched out his hand to lift an incompetent Song Army officer: "What is the situation now?!" ”
The officer of the Song army replied in horror: "Heavenly Master Guo Jing's Liujia Divine Soldiers have been defeated, the Jin soldiers have broken through the Xuanhua Gate and occupied the city wall, and the Great Song Kingdom is about to die!" ”
"Rubbish!"
Li Guang threw the Song Army officer aside like a chicken and a duck.
“……”
Chutian's scalp was numb, not only was the Jin soldiers greatly strengthened in this epic battle, but also when the various princes (the Qinwang army in the eyes of the Song army) descended on Kaifeng City, Kaifeng City was directly attacked outside the city!
The difficulty has been changed from normal to hell!
"Prepare for battle!"
Chu Tian roared, most of the incompetent Song Emperor and the defenders in the city did not count on it, and they could only rely on themselves and the generals and legions of the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty to stop the Jin army.
The outer city gate has been breached, the Jin soldiers have climbed to the outer city wall, and all the fortifications deployed by the defenders have been occupied by the Jin soldiers!
At the very least, you have to hold the inner city to serve as a stronghold for expelling the Jin soldiers!
"This time, Emperor Song must be captured alive and abolished, and the Jin State will enter the Central Plains."
On the city wall, the two marshals of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan looked down on the smoke-billowing Kaifeng City, and the Jin Wushu finished Yan Zongbi, at this time he was a military general under the command of Wanyan Zongwang, he stepped on the corpse of a Song military general with one foot, like a wolf-like eyes, scanning the extra defenders in the city.
