Chapter 1060: Strong and Weak
According to the National War setting, if a country is both an active attacker and at war with three countries at the same time, then the national war leader of that country can summon 5% of the total number of its forbidden troops to come to the scene at the cost of ten gold coins per person.
For most game areas, the Wangcheng Forbidden Army will not exceed one million, and the highest of five percent is 50,000 forbidden troops, which is better than nothing, and has nothing to do with the overall situation.
But Huaxia District is different.
The 10 million forbidden troops in the Huaxia District can summon 500,000 forbidden troops to help in the war, which is enough to change the situation of the war.
If it was a joint attack from the north and south, there was probably no need to summon the forbidden army of the royal city to help in the battle, after all, the 500,000 army would need to pay a huge sum of five million gold coins.
Until the last moment, Ouyang Shuo didn't want to spend this unjust money.
At the moment, Di Chen "does not cooperate", Ouyang Shuo can only endure the pain to play this trump card, he wants to see how the silver hand will feel when the Northern Route Army takes Edo alone.
If others don't say it, Grandpa Dichen's face must be very ugly.
Another point is very interesting, there are nine royal cities in Huaxia District, and Ouyang Shuo can decide which one or which royal cities to summon the forbidden army.
With this alone, Ouyang Shuo can do a lot of articles.
When Scarlet Romance and the others heard this, they were all excited, and said, "Let's divide this money, we can't let you pay it alone." ”
yes, that's not half a million, it's a whole five million.
Even if you are as wealthy as Daxia, it is a bit stretchable to take out this money at one time. Coupled with this war, Great Xia has provided free transportation and food and grass supplies for adventurers, which is already very interesting.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head.
"Why, look down on us, I still got a million." The blood romance is a little unpleasant.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "I didn't mean that. I'll pay the money in advance, and after I take Edo, I'll deduct it from the spoils. ”
It is impossible for Edo, a large number of people, not to loot the loot.
"That's pretty much it." The blood-colored romantic expression eased slightly.
…………
On 17 June, Ouyang Shuo and his entourage landed in the western suburbs of Edo.
The next day, all the troops of the Northern Route Army rushed to assemble outside the city, and the vast army seemed to cover the sky and the sun. If you look closely, you can also see a trace of fatigue and sadness on the faces of the soldiers.
The national war lasted for half a month, and in order to gnaw the hard bone of Dongying, the Northern Route Army also paid a heavy price. Especially in the last three days, in order to clear the last obstacles, the Northern Route Army fought very resolutely, regardless of sacrifice.
After a series of battles, the 13 field regiments, the 910,000-strong army, with less than 800,000 men, including some wounded, insisted on rushing to the outskirts of Edo to assemble.
It's not that Ouyang Shuo is ruthless and doesn't summon 500,000 forbidden troops in advance to help in the war.
Even if it is a 500,000 forbidden army, the coalition army besieging Edo is only about 1.3 million, and in the face of the 800,000 forbidden army stationed in Edo, it does not have an absolute advantage.
Edo is a royal city, so it's so easy to take.
Not to mention the Dongying Battlefield, the Goryeo Battlefield has been fiercely fought so far, and Seoul has not been taken by Li Jing's troops.
If you want to break the city, you must outwit it. The 500,000 forbidden army is a trump card, and only when the enemy army is unexpected, can it have the effect of doing twice the result with half the effort.
On the morning of the 18th, Ouyang Shuo secretly met with Han Xin and confessed to the 500,000 forbidden troops.
When Han Xin heard this, his heart suddenly became clear, and the previous mystery was solved at once, and he said solemnly: "Please rest assured, with this miracle soldier, within five days, the enemy city will be broken." ”
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "The general's ability is naturally trusted by the king, if this battle is won, the general should be the first to take credit." With such a great military exploit, the general's rank should also be raised. ”
Compared with generals such as Bai Qi and Huo Quzhi, Han Xin still attaches more importance to "fame and fortune". Ouyang Shuo hinted that he was ready to be promoted to general, and he was tied with Bai Qi and the two god generals, which was naturally the right medicine.
Sure enough, a hint of excitement flashed across Han Xin's face, but it quickly faded away.
"I will live up to the king's command!" Han Xin made a military order.
…………
After coming down, Han Xin began to arrange his troops.
Strictly speaking, Edo is also a coastal city. Therefore, to the southeast of the Edo waterfront, Han Shin was entrusted with the joint responsibility of the Royal Fleet and the Pacific Fleet.
Both fleets could shell Edo by water, or they could send musketeers directly into the battle.
In addition to the southeast direction, Han Xin also deployed heavy troops on the other sides. What outsiders can't see is that Han Shin seems to have spread his army around Edo, but in fact it is very dense.
Don't look at it as just a small trick, if you can do this, you can see that Han Xin is extraordinary.
The 800,000 field troops were basically deployed in the north and east, and only a small number of troops were deployed in the west. Obviously, since the beginning of the fight, Han Xin has reserved a place for 500,000 forbidden troops.
Dongying didn't know anything about all this.
…………
At this time, there was a line of people standing at the head of Edo Castle, surrounded by personal guards.
Standing in the center is Emperor Meiji, with Keisuke Honda, the lord of Mikasa Castle, standing on the left, and Oda Nobunaga on the right.
The three core members of the Dongying camp gathered here.
"It's still decently arranged, who are you fooling?!" Keisuke Honda's expression was much more relaxed than a few days ago, and although his words were sour, there was no fear.
Since receiving his grandfather's reply, Keisuke Honda's heart has completely fallen back into his stomach, and he does not believe that the North Huaxia Route Army alone can capture Edo.
"I'm afraid the other party is also riding a tiger now!" Oda Nobunaga said something pertinent.
Half a month of circumstance, this Dongying legend realized the strength of Huaxia, especially the Great Xia army and Han Xin, who commanded this army, and even more respectful in his heart.
Such a strong army is indeed not comparable to Dongying.
Of course, Oda Nobunaga is also very respectful of the methods of the lord Keisuke Honda, and he still hasn't figured out how the lord persuaded the Huaxia Southern Route Army to "cooperate".
Don't look at the southern part of Honshu Island, the Huaxia South Route Army fought with the army led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but in fact, it was just a show, and it didn't move seriously at all.
Otherwise, how could the tens of thousands of troops under Toyotomi Hideyoshi be able to stop the enemy army.
Such means are unpredictable.
Emperor Meiji, who was standing in the middle, was expressionless, just calmly stared at the vast army outside the city, and for a long time, he said to Oda Nobunaga: "Edo Castle Defense will be handed over to the shogun!" ”
Originally, this was a beautiful difference, but Oda Nobunaga listened to it, but his expression was a little embarrassed. Strictly speaking, Oda Nobunaga was not a courtier of Emperor Meiji, but a subordinate of Keisuke Honda.
Emperor Meiji so blatantly bypassed Keisuke Honda and gave orders directly to Oda Nobunaga, which was really a violation of the rules.
It stands to reason that Emperor Osamu is also a legendary monarch, and he should not make such a low-level mistake, but Emperor Meiji did just that, and the meaning is really intriguing.
With the fall of the Mikasa Castle army, Emperor Meiji, the monarch who had been stoic and low-key, finally bared his fangs and began to rightfully take over the leadership of Toei.
What I just said was a demonstration.
Keisuke Honda listened, and his face twitched visibly. Yes, after this battle, although Toei may be able to survive, Mikasa Castle is seriously injured, and I don't know when it will recover.
Gaia has a rule that a game district can only start a national war against another game district at most, and this rule remains in effect even after the end of the national war month.
Such a setting is tantamount to a disguised protection of weak countries.
As the so-called endless road, there is always a glimmer of life in everything, and as long as a weak country carries it once, it can basically sit back and relax, which is also one of the reasons why Goryeo is willing to participate in this melee.
Otherwise, the Honda family would not have bothered to make a heavy promise to the emperor at all.
Even so, the ending still seems to be a bit bad.
Keisuke Honda glanced at Emperor Meiji deeply, then turned his head to look at Oda Nobunaga, who had been waiting for his approval, and said with a forced smile: "Since the emperor values it, the general will take it." ”
"Hey!"
Oda Nobunaga was caught in the middle and was also embarrassed.
