Chapter 232: March
Yue Fei lifted the curtain of the Chinese army's tent and strode in. [Ran^Text^Library] Suddenly, a person broke into the tent, which naturally startled Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen hurriedly pushed away a little beauty in his arms, then quickly tidied up his clothes, picked up a book and read it.
Yue Fei's face darkened, looking at the woman who walked past him with slightly messy clothes, and the corners of his mouth only snorted slightly. Then he stepped forward and walked a few steps, saluted and said, "King Qiqi, now that our army has been assembled in Yunjun, it's time to start a war!" β
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and casually threw the piece of music that he didn't know when it was in the corner. He glanced up at Yue Fei, and then said, "My generalissimo, how much military rations does Yunjun have now?"
"King Qiqi, the grain and grass totals eight million stones, which is enough for our army's tens of millions of men and horses in March."
"Huh? No, how can eight million stone grains and grass be enough to eat for three months, shouldn't you be able to eat half a year?" Xiao Chen asked suspiciously.
Yue Fei sighed, and almost wanted to turn around and leave in his heart. Talking to your own king about military affairs is even more unpleasant than playing the piano to a cow. "King Qiqi, our army's logistics personnel are as high as 10 million, and these people also have to eat!"
"What, that is, eighteen million of us are eating those eight million stone grains? In that case, our military rations will not be enough to eat! β
"King, if we are still staying in Yunjun, maybe we should prepare some grass roots as reserve food. Now it is best for us to start the war as soon as possible and occupy the whole territory of the country of Buni as quickly as possible. In this way, we will be able to use the Sailor troops to transport food and grass for the army on land! β
After listening to Yue Fei's words, Xiao Chen naturally understood. As a person in the real world, who doesn't know that sea transportation is cheaper and more affordable than land transportation. Just like the troop carrier brigade under the current jurisdiction of the Beichen Army Naval Division, an intermediate troop carrier can transport grain, grain and grass without money at one time. And the speed is fast, and the consumption on the road is also very small. In contrast, land transportation is a bit of a trick, and it takes ten carriages, more than 30 horses, and dozens of people to transport it by horse-drawn carriage. The speed is slow, and the consumption on the road is very huge, you must know that horses are expensive, and they eat more than people.
In this way, sea freight is naturally much more convenient.
"Okay, then we'll start dividing our forces in three days and attacking the country of Buni. At the same time, send an order to the sailor troops, let them move too! β
Yue Fei's face was happy, and he finally didn't have to suffer the frequent fights in the army every day.
Three days later, the Beichen army's army of 8 million troops divided into two routes and marched towards the country of Buni in the north. One route was Yue Fei as the commander, leading 500,000 elite soldiers, 2 million volunteer soldiers, and 1 million servants. The other route was led by Zhang Han as the commander, leading 500,000 elite soldiers, 3 million volunteer soldiers, and 1 million servants. Xiao Chen followed behind Yue Fei's ass, leading a guard force of thousands of people as the rear army.
The two armies, millions of men and horses, immediately moved, and slaughtered the country of Buni with great momentum.
At this time, the country of Buni also got the news that the Beichen army was heading north. And the primary target of the Beichen army's northward march this time was his own Buni country, which made the monarch of the Buni country feel very frightened. The small army of the Buni country is weak, and if it weren't for the fact that it is close to the border with the Beichen country, it would have been annexed by others long ago. But now, it seems that the country of Buni still can't escape the end of being annexed.
Eight million Beichen troops, when the monarch of the Buni Kingdom heard this number, he almost squatted on the ground. Damn, eight million. The population of the entire Buni country is only more than 4 million people, which can reach half of the strength of the Beichen Army.
With such a huge disparity in strength, the monarch of the Buni Kingdom really couldn't think of any good way to get out of the predicament. There are only 560,000 troops in the country, which is still the hundreds of thousands of troops that the Buni country has exhausted its national strength to feed. However, in front of the behemoth of the Beichen Army, which numbered as many as eight million, 500,000 horses were not enough.
The monarch of the Buni Kingdom has been really worried about the past two days, and after thinking about it for a few days, there is no way to make his country exist again. In the face of absolute strength, his own Buni country is just a lump of mud by the sea. You can't definitely fight it, and if you surrender, it doesn't seem to be a good choice. The Daimyo of the Beichen Kingdom has long spread throughout the world, as if the Beichen Kingdom has not yet accepted the surrender of foreign players. Most of them were killed by the monarch, and all the strong men were made into slaves.
By the way, when the Beichen Kingdom invaded the Uzi Kingdom before, it was forced back by the Xia Kingdom in the west. Although the Beichen Army did not withdraw until the country of Uzi was completely destroyed, this was always a hope. As long as Xia Guo still has the heart to suppress the development of Beichen Kingdom, it will definitely force the Beichen Army to retreat. He only needs to take his soldiers and horses to defend the capital, and he is still in danger of not being destroyed.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was very feasible, so he hurriedly called a few ministers. As soon as the ministers of the kingdom of Buni saw the king, they immediately saluted and said, "See the king!" β
The Buni monarch just hummed softly, and then he said what he thought. Suddenly, in the entire hall, several ministers of the Buni Kingdom quarreled. Some people think that Xia and Beichen belong to the same Han nationality, and may not help the Buni Kingdom and force the Beichen army to withdraw its troops. All, at that time, it is better to reorganize the armament in the country and fully resist the invasion of the Beichen Army.
Some people believe that when Beichen invaded Uzi before, Xia forced Beichen's army to withdraw. Obviously, it was the Xia Kingdom that didn't want the Beichen Kingdom to continue to grow. Therefore, this time the expansion of the Beichen Army still has a very high chance of forcing the Beichen Army to retreat. In this way, as long as our Buni Kingdom sends some gifts to the Great Xia Lord, it is not impossible to save the Buni Kingdom.
For a while, the hall was full of noisy noises, which made the monarch of the Buni Kingdom so angry that he blew his beard. In the end, under the deliberate guidance of the monarch of the Buni Kingdom, the two sides finally reached an agreement. While sending people to the Xia Kingdom with heavy money, the country also made every effort to recruit militia and prepare supplies to resist the full-scale invasion of the Beichen Kingdom.
Yue Fei led an army of 3.5 million and arrived outside a small border city in the country of Buni in the afternoon of the same day. An army of millions, bombarded by more than a thousand catapults, began a siege war.
In this small city, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Buni country, and there are more than 100,000 people in the city. Because of its proximity to Beichen Kingdom, merchants from Beichen Kingdom often come here, and this small city is also prosperous.
However, today, this small city is useless in the bustling city. Facing the 3.5 million Beichen Army, the defenders in the city suddenly lost all their momentum. This can't be fought at all, and there are 10,000 horses on his side, although he occupies the city. But the enemy had 3.5 million men, and a single spit was enough to drown 10,000 of his own horses.
After two rounds of bombardment, the catapult smashed a large hole in the wall. Hundreds of thousands of Beichen soldiers cheered and slaughtered towards the gap, trying to enter the city and plunder. When a volunteer soldier of the first city came to the city through the ruins of the city wall, he found that all the defenders who had been densely packed on the city wall were gone.
The enemy's defenders lost the will to resist, and the large forces of the Beichen Army naturally quickly marched into the city. When the army entered the city, the first thing it did was to find out the defenders who were hiding among the civilians in the city. After that, all the young and strong laborers were tied together. In the end, the Beichen Army, which received the order to lift military discipline, immediately began to kill brutally.
Now that the population of Beichen Kingdom is enough, except for those young and strong laborers who can still do some work, the rest of the people are burdens, and it is better to kill them all.
Digging three feet deep in the city, the soldiers of the Beichen Army finally turned over the grain hidden by the common people in the ground. In the last count, only more than 200,000 stone of grain was obtained. As for money, being poor is no different from a beggar, which made Xiao Chen very angry later.
He led the army just to grab food, but as a result, 200,000 stone army food was found in a city, which was enough for the Beichen army to eat for two or three days.
Subsequently, in order to complete the strategic goal of the full occupation of the state of Buni as soon as possible. The Beichen army divided its troops again, and the 3.5 million troops divided into three routes and slaughtered towards the surrounding cities. Yue Fei and Xiao Chen led the most elite army of 500,000 and continued to move towards the capital of the Buni Kingdom. And the four million army led by Zhang Han also had a very tacit understanding to divide the troops, and most of the soldiers and horses were scattered in all directions to seize the city. And the elite main force, under the leadership of Zhang Han, also slaughtered towards the capital of the Buni country
All of a sudden, countless gunpowder smoke rose from the land of the entire Buni country. Countless people in the Buni Kingdom were bullied by the Beichen Army, and all their wealth and goods were robbed. Murder is even more common in this area. Although the bow is everywhere in the country of Buni, this is the fate of the country's small soldiers and weak soldiers. Without a strong enough army to protect the people under your command, it will only lead to the misery of the people.
The perpetrators, the soldiers of the Beichen Army, naturally will not have pity for these weak people. Beichen is not having a good time now, and five percent of the families are relying on the state's relief food to survive. And there are many people who do not have land to cultivate. Then, the weak country of Buni has become a good piece of meat.
Long before the departure of the army, the Beichen army launched a round of brainwashing of the whole army. That is, there should be no mercy for the people of the enemy country, and we have come to seize their land. Only by killing them all can our parents and children in our country be able to get the land and start farming. If you can't get rid of the original owners of those lands, Beichen will face a disaster in China!
Therefore, after entering the Buni country, all the soldiers of the Beichen Army lost their sympathy, and all the people of the Buni country who were not needed were slaughtered. The blood of the people of the country of Buni has stained the map of the whole country of Buni red. Since then, the land has been very fertile, reaching four crops a year at its peak. Of course, that didn't last long and it ended.
The Beichen army wantonly crisscrossed the land of the Buni country, which naturally aroused the resistance of many people of the Buni country. But none of them fared much better, and most of the army withdrew to the capital, leaving only a group of unarmed civilians. Just by virtue of holding hope, the hands of the people will not be able to tear through the armor of the Beichen Army no matter what.
In only five days after the war began, seventeen of the thirty cities of the country of Buni were lost. If it weren't for the heavily guarded pass in front of the Buni Country, blocking the way of the two armies of the Beichen Army, the war in the Buni Kingdom might have ended early.
It's just that the only pass in the country in front of me is indeed not so easy to pass. During the five-day war, the Beichen army did not encounter much resistance, as long as the reason was that the Buni Kingdom had reduced its forces. Now, at the beginning of the war, the state of Buni has launched a national mobilization order, which has increased the number of troops to 1.1 million.
Within five days of the outbreak of the war, the Beichen Army had annihilated less than 100,000 Bunnie*s, and the rest of the army was all huddled together. Among them, this pass in front of you is one of them.
The 600,000 Buni* team is now nested in the fortress, which gives Yue Fei a headache. The pass was not very steep, but the army and supplies in the city were very well prepared. Yue Fei really didn't want to launch a strong attack, in that case, the loss might be a little big.
Now there are more than ten cities left in the country of Buni to the north of this pass, and it can be said that most of the territory of the country has been lost. Yue Fei planned to wait until the Navy Division troops landed in the rear of the Buni Kingdom, and then use the Navy Division to transport a large number of troops and go straight to the capital of the Buni Kingdom. In this way, the pass in front of you has become a complete decoration.
It's just that in this case, a lot of time will be wasted. According to the combat effectiveness of the Beichen Army, it will not take long to capture this pass of the Buni Kingdom, and it will even be able to defeat it today. However, the casualties of the army will definitely be a little larger. In contrast, the direct attack on the national capital of Buni by the naval division transport troops is a disguised bypass of this pass. At that time, only one encirclement point is needed to send reinforcements, and the army guarding the pass can be completely wiped out, and the losses are very small.
After thinking about it for a while, Yue Fei still decided to launch a strong attack. Although the casualties will be large, there are a large number of servant troops in the Beichen Army that need to be consumed, and there is no problem at all. Now the Beichen Army needs time, and it needs to deal with the Buni Kingdom as quickly as possible.
The daily consumption of an army of eight million is an astronomical amount, and in the case of not much food and grass, it is better to deal with the enemy as soon as possible.
After deciding, Yue Fei directly ordered the servant army to start attacking the city, demanding that he must be full of strength to take the pass in front of him. The catapult troops of the Beichen Army will give the greatest support to the attacking troops.
After a while, more than 1,000 catapults of the Beichen Army began to throw boulders into the pass. And the 500,000 servant soldiers also lined up in formation, slowly marching towards the pass, ready to charge at any time! You provide the latest, fastest and most complete free novel updatesγγ
