Chapter 315: The City That Suddenly Appeared
readx;
Just when Xiao Chen was still worried about the situation in Annan County, Edward had already led many generals under his command to set foot on the territory of Beichen Kingdom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info For this place in Beichen Kingdom, Edward didn't know what to say. This is the place where he failed for the first time, and it is also because of his failure here, and he has been forgiven by the king of Beichen Kingdom, that he has been able to achieve his great achievements today.
After being pitted by a group of pig-like teammates in that joint attack, Edward led an army of four million to surrender to the Kingdom of Beichen. I thought that I would be able to become famous in one fell swoop in the first large-scale landing battle I commanded in the game. Unexpectedly, because his teammates were too cheating, they ended up in defeat. This made Edward puzzled, especially the defeat of the Combined Fleet at that time. The combined fleet has a million mercenaries and 3,000 warships, many of which are the main warships. As a result, he was completely defeated by Beichen Kingdom with 300,000 sailors and 1,000 warships.
The complete defeat of the navy completely exposed his landing force to the threat of the enemy's sailors, so that he was forced to surrender. Otherwise, as long as the logistics can be guaranteed, how can he defeat the more than 500,000 Beichen troops on the shore with more than 4 million men and horses and win the landing battle. But the turtle grandson sons actually abandoned their millions of land soldiers and ran away in their own warships. That's not all, even the transported materials were swept away in one go.
After surrendering, he was forgiven by the king of Beichen and led an army of one million back to his country. On the way back, Edward had already proclaimed himself as a savior. It is precisely because of my own negotiations with the king of Beichen that you millions of soldiers can return to my country. As a result, the million-strong army immediately became Edward's subordinates and became Edward's most loyal followers.
After returning to his own country, Edward used this million men and horses, plus his own military command, to completely save the situation on the peninsula. Not only did he defeat the naval player who was also a British player, but he also acquired a wide range of territories, creating the current Lannahou Kingdom.
Now, after several years, under his own hard work, he has built a 2 million army and a 2 million navy. With such strength, Edward thinks that he can already compete with Beichen Kingdom. Because the sailors of the Beichen Kingdom are not as good as themselves, as long as their own two million navy defeats the sailors of the Beichen Kingdom. Then Beichen is not at its own mercy, don't forget that the capital of Beichen is on the other side of the sea.
When the Beichen army invaded the Cossacks, Edward thought his opportunity had come. The Cossack state is not a country with poor strength, and Lao Maozi's prestige is still very powerful in Europe. Especially the 50,000 Cossack cavalry, in Edward's eyes, it was an unbeatable myth. And Beichen also lost more than 2 million troops in the Northern Expedition, pumping most of the domestic troops, which in Edward's eyes was a mistake of Beichen and an opportunity for himself.
It is impossible for Beichen Kingdom not to have the slightest precaution against itself, after all, its Lanna Kingdom and Beichen Kingdom are connected. Soon after the Beichen army went north, Edward was given the Beichen Kingdom's precautions against him. The countless beacon towers along the coast, plus the patrol range of the Beichen Naval Division, were carefully placed on Edward's table. Don't doubt that Edward doesn't have this strength, in a few years, Edward has sent countless spies to the Beichen Kingdom.
There's no way, who made Beichen a Han country, but there are a large number of Europeans in the country. Especially in the army, there is actually this servant army. Although the combat effectiveness of the servant army also contributed to the military strength of the Beichen Kingdom, it also gave Edward the opportunity to send spies. Maybe Edward can't master the high-level servant army personnel, but among the spies he sent, many of them are already middle-level generals of the servant army. In particular, one of them became the commander of the regiment, and I heard that if he made another meritorious service, he would also receive the position of deputy brigade commander.
Edward did not let the regiment commander succeed in obtaining the deputy brigade commander, but let the regiment commander apply for the garrison in the coastal zone of Annan County on his own.
Everything went very smoothly, and after collecting most of the information from the Beichen National Naval Division Patrol through the regimental commander, Edward led one million army and two million sailors to make a big circle directly to the coastal area of Annan County. And under the defection of the servant corps commander, Edward's troops successfully annihilated the 20,000 Beichen garrisons and more than 30,000 escorts in Annan County. Subsequently, through the dense roads of Beichen Kingdom, he quickly occupied most of the cities in Annan County, and approached Donglin County.
The reason why the regimental leader was not allowed to continue to hide before, Edward naturally had his own ideas. For a landing battle, the enemy's defense on the shore is undoubtedly the greatest trouble. And with the internal response, he can easily land on land, and then occupy the entire territory of Annan County. After occupying Annan County, you can also follow the Chi Road built by Beichen Kingdom, and quickly break through from Annan County to the outside of Donglincheng.
In this way, it is possible that Beichen Kingdom will be directly destroyed by itself, and will there be any role for that spy to hide at that time?
As for the construction of the Chi Road in Beichen, Edward already knew about it. Although he was very envious of Beichen Kingdom's construction of highways with such fanfare, Edward could only watch it. Without money, just to develop the country, Lanna's finances are almost always in deficit every quarter. Where is it making a lot of money to build highways across the country. Therefore, under the guidance of the Beichen Kingdom, Edward only built two highways from the north of the territory to the southern seaport, and from east to west through the country. Edward didn't have the energy to do more detailed things, and he didn't have the money to do them.
Therefore, Edward's plan was to suddenly and quickly occupy Annan County, and then quickly advance along the gallop road, striving to destroy the Beichen Kingdom within a month.
So far, many places have been very smooth, but there is only one place that has made Edward very distressed, and that is the town of Guocang in Annan County.
The existence of Zhen Guocang is known to few people even in Beichen. In fact, it is not only a big warehouse, but also a city. Do you remember the small town in Annam County in the middle of the Buqila Mountains? That's right, that is the town of Beichen Kingdom.
Since occupying that city, Xiao Chen has been deeply interested in this deeply hidden small city, and in the end, he secretly built the Zhenguo Warehouse. Countless grains and grasses were stored in it, and the whole thing was only after the five hundred defenders who were guarding the town at that time. After that, only the grain transport team of thousands of people knew about it. Until now, only the oldest thousands of people in the Zhenguo warehouse knew about it, and none of the 100,000 new veterans knew about it. After they were discharged from the army, they received a notice from the Ministry of War, requesting that they be stationed in a national important place in Annan County.
So, they came here stupidly.
Now, this is where Edward is embarrassed.
What is this place? Is there such a city on the map of Beichen Kingdom? Edward looked not far ahead, at a small city deep in the mountains, and wondered.
"This king, the last general doesn't know. On the map of Beichen Kingdom, there is no such city. Even our military map does not indicate that there is a city here. "Glasru is the commander who broke into the servant army, and he is also terrified to report to his own king.
"Fake, how do you explain this city! Don't tell me that the king of Beichen doesn't know that there is such a city in his country! Moreover, looking at the defenders in the city, there must be 100,000 people, so many troops, how could the king of Beichen Kingdom not know? Edward said angrily.
What should I do about this place, I definitely can't move it now. The navy's two million troops still need to stay on the warship, ready to meet the arriving Beichen Naval Division. The only thing he can mobilize is only one million troops, and if one million troops sneak up the gallop quickly, it is still possible to directly break the capital of Beichen Kingdom. But now it is obviously impossible, because of the existence of Zhen Guocang, all of Edward's plans have been disrupted.
The galloping road from the east of Lincheng to the territory of Annan County enters from the gate of Zhenguocang, and then runs through Zhenguocang, extending to the south. Then a gallop road spread to the west, and it can be said that Zhenguocang was just stuck on the gallop road. If you want to cross the gallop road, you must open the gate of Zhenguocang. As for bypassing, it's better to save it, and all the roads around it for dozens of miles have been demolished by Xiao Chen. The common people also moved to live around the city, and most of the many cities bordering the city in the north and east and west and south also ran through the city.
This is Xiao Chen's planned hinterland defense plan, which is an immature plan, just Xiao Chen's experimental product. The gallop runs through many castles, so in order to cross the gallop smoothly, you have to pass through the gates of many castles. In addition, Xiao Chen also demolished many roads in Annan County and turned them into muddy roads again. This was opposed by many people before, after all, it would be a pity that the good road was demolished. Fortunately, Xiao Chen finally explained, saying that only those bad branch roads were demolished, and the main roads still had to be retained.
Therefore, by now, Edward was completely dumbfounded standing in front of Zhen Guocang.
Why did a city that is not on the map suddenly appear, and it also directly blocked the passage of the highway. Damn, is this God looking at the gentlemen and directly parachuting into a city to punish himself?
If you want to pass safely on the highway, then needless to say, let's talk about it after the town is cleared. Thinking of this, Edward scolded Xiao Chen in his heart, this bastard is really lacking in virtue in road repair. Also, you have built roads through this city, why is there no such city on the map?
In fact, Edward didn't know that the top military maps and sand tables in Beichen Kingdom all had Zhen Guocang. It's just that how could such a precise map appear in the hands of the servant army. As a result, the servants had only a sketchy map of Annam County, and many roads were not even marked. It's not that Beichen doesn't trust the servant army at all, you must know that there are no precise maps in the standing army. Such an intricate map only existed in the palace, as well as in the minds of the generals of the court. In the big tent of the Chinese army in the five major camps, one is also backed up for emergency use.
As for the servant army, let's not talk about it, this is a map of the rear, why should you servant army be so careful. In addition, maps are the foundation of a country, especially the kind of sophisticated military maps, which are the key to the rise and fall of a country.
So, in Glasru's Servant Division, there are no exact maps, only rough and sketchy maps. It is precisely because of this that Edward is so angry.
Looking at the twenty-meter-high city wall in front of him, coupled with the miles of the city wall, Edward had no choice but to let the army attack the city. Actually, Edward could have led his troops around, but it would be a waste of time. Second, he bypassed it himself, in case he didn't take Donglin City in one go. The logistics troops behind are threatened by the 100,000 Beichen troops here, and I am afraid that they will be defeated again.
Edward didn't dare to take risks, and Edward was very clear about the strength of the Beichen Army. Even if he took Donglin City under a sneak attack, he would definitely not be able to keep the food in Donglin City. Moreover, with an elite army of 100,000 Beichen Army behind him, no one can rest assured. So, for now, Edward still plans to take this place first.
As long as you take here, even if you lose the war later, there is a way out. This city blocks itself, but as long as you take it yourself, you can also block the Beichen Army. With such an important strategic location, how could Edward give it up.
Just as Edward was about to attack Zhenguocang, there was also a panic in Donglin City. Countless troops began to mobilize in all directions, some entered the eastern city to defend, and some were assembled outside the eastern city, under the leadership of Chen Gong, Hao Zhao, and Wang Ping, ready to counterattack Annan County at any time and regain the lost territory.
The fast horses that ran out of the eastern city also kept running towards the position of the rear army camp and the west army camp for a moment. These two battalions are the only main forces in Beichen that can support the Annam battlefield.
Under the leadership of Li Ancheng, the sailors also fully assembled, raised countless sails, and slaughtered the navy of Lanna Country.
In the territory of Annan County, countless Han people began to pack up their things and go north to escape the war. Many of those slaves also fled with the people of Beichen, and some of the slaves cheered after the arrival of Edward's army, and harmed the people of Beichen who oppressed them.
In short, now the entire Beichen country has begun to mobilize, preparing to defeat this enemy army that has landed in the hinterland of Beichen for the first time in history!
