Chapter 145: The Four Directions Move
Xu Rong, the commander of the Ming Kingdom, and Xu Da, the deputy commander, led an army of 600,000 troops to drive straight into the hinterland of the Yan Kingdom. In just over 20 days, more than a dozen counties were connected. Along the way, under the powerful attack of the Ming army, the Yan army can be said to be overwhelmed, and basically did not encounter any resistance.
However, with the rapid arrival of Yan's [***] team, Xu Rong's attack speed also slowed down. However, these patchwork troops obviously couldn't stop Xu Rong's attack, and the only thing they could do was to barely delay for a day or two.
The Yan army refused to defend the city, and did not go out of the city to fight field battles. The city is obviously not a difficult place for the Ming army, which has many masters. But after all, it takes a lot of time to storm a city, and after the siege is captured, it will take a lot of time to clear the remnants.
In fact, the main thing was the harassment of the Black Flame Sect, which made Xu Rong feel a little troublesome when he was attacking the city. Seeing the fate of the Flame Sect, the head of the Black Flame Sect was not a fool. Immediately knew that once the Ming Kingdom captured the Yan Kingdom, the Black Flame Sect would not be spared, so he happily sent disciples and even elders to help.
What Yan Guo wants is to delay time, as long as he can delay enough time, Yan Guo will have a chance. When the countries react and deal with the Ming Kingdom together, the Ming Kingdom will have to retreat obediently.
The guess with Yan Guo is good, after the war with Ming Yan, all countries are a little uneasy. But they did not send troops immediately, and they were all waiting and watching. The Ming Kingdom has laid down the Flame Sect, but who can be sure that this is not a show for the world to see. The Flame Sect is a third-level sect, and everyone doesn't know the strength of the Ming Kingdom for so many years. If Ming Guo is really so powerful, the surrounding countries will not be able to feel it. In the past, who dared to fight a small battle in three days and a big battle in five days with Ming Guo.
This time, the war between the Ming Kingdom and the Flame Sect is very likely that the Ming Kingdom is building momentum for itself. Maybe the Ming Kingdom has paid a big price, or the head of the Flame Sect wants to change his career to become the emperor. I want to change the Flame Sect to a vest and re-list.
But the outcome of the battle was unexpected. In the past, it was said that two inseparable old opponents were not on the same level at all. Even with the help of the Black Flame Sect, it was inevitable that the army would be defeated.
The losses of the Ming army were minimal, but the Yan army was wiped out as a system. This shows that the strength of the Ming Kingdom is absolutely incomparable. At least the Black Yan Sect and the Yan Kingdom combined, they are not enough for others to fight. At this moment, countries can panic. The strength of the Ming army was beyond the expectations of the rest of the country, and according to this posture, within two months, the Yan Kingdom would become history. After destroying the Yan Kingdom, the Ming Kingdom will definitely not give up. The emperors of various countries know very well that whoever has such national strength and military strength will not be finished with the next country, and striking while the iron is hot is the king.
The envoys of various countries who remained in Kyoto asked to see Liu Yu and asked Liu Yu to stop attacking Yan. If there is something to sit down and talk about, why bother with knives and guns. The compensation for land cession can be negotiated, and the soldiers are collected, hello, hello, everyone.
The battle has come to this, and I want to take it back again, are you stupid or am I stupid. The attitude of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was already obvious, and he would not retreat if he was killed. In fact, all countries also understand that the Yan Kingdom that the Ming Kingdom has no power to fight back, and after working hard for two or three months, you can enjoy the big cake of the Yan Kingdom.
The usual inquiries of the envoys of various countries were merely for show. The three countries around the Ming Kingdom are already ready to move. According to Jinyiwei's secret report, various countries have sent large armies to the border of the Ming Kingdom, and there have already been rumors on the border.
After getting Jinyiwei's secret report, Liu Yu's brows furrowed. Things are far from being as simple as he thought, and at the same time, there are not only these three countries, but also the sects of the three countries. After the elite of the sect is flooded with the army, the army on the border will be a little struggling, and the original advantage will be gone.
No country wants a strong neighbor around it. The rise of every nation is accompanied by conquest and killing. In the same way, if one country is strong enough to destroy another, the neighbors around them will be uneasy and will unite to limit the development of that neighbor.
If possible, it would be better to eliminate this ambitious but powerful neighbor. Therefore, the rise of every country is accompanied by countless risks and countless failures. If you can survive it, you will become a dynasty, or even a dynasty that dominates a state. If you can't survive it, you can only disappear in the long river of history.
Now, the Ming Kingdom is also facing such a situation, and Liu Yu doesn't want to be a part of the dust of history. Immediately, Liu Yu sent Yu Juluo and Chen Wen to the Southern Army and the Eastern Army respectively. As for the slightly weaker Weiguo in the west, it was commanded by Yang Yanzhao, and Chen Gong was the military advisor.
With such a luxurious formation, even if these three countries attack with all their might, Liu Yu is confident that he can defend it. After arranging the surrounding legions, there is nothing to worry about. Liu Yu immediately sent an order to Xu Rong and told him to hurry up.
The results of more than 20 days obviously did not satisfy Xu Rong, let alone Liu Yu. In the original plan, Xu Rong wanted to capture Yan Kingdom in more than a month, but he didn't expect that under the desperate confrontation between Yan Kingdom and Black Yanzong, it had been more than 20 days, and he had not yet reached Yan Kingdom Kyoto.
The "Dashuai" military tent was opened, and Wu Yunzhao hurriedly walked in, "Dashuai, the Yan army in the front place is really hard stubble, and it took a whole day of attack to take it!" Now, we've taken it again. Although it is still early, the soldiers are very tired after a long march, so why not rest for the night. ”
He kept looking at the marching map and didn't look back, and didn't answer Wu Yunshao's question at night, Xu Rong just frowned and said, "It's not okay to go on like this, the Yan army relies on the defense of the city, although we are not afraid, but it has also caused us a lot of trouble." Each siege battle, along with clearing out recalcitrant enemies, took much longer. ”
"Why worry about the marshal, my army is invincible wherever it passes, and there is any city that can stop us!"
"Alas!" Xu Rongpi sighed, and then said, "Although the Yan army is being defeated day by day, at this rate, it will take a lot of time to defeat the Yan country. In the expected time, we may not be able to defeat the Yan Kingdom! ”
"Dashuai, if you really can't do it, please ask Your Majesty to be more forgiving, after all, our side is not easy to fight, I believe Your Majesty can understand"
"No way!" Looking back, Xu Rong said coldly, "Now that we are attacking Yan Kingdom, it has caused panic in the surrounding countries, and now the border countries are ready to move. If you can't take the Yan Kingdom in a short time, the four lines of the Ming Dynasty will be attacked. ”
"Just a few countries, what's so scary!"
"yes, there's nothing to be afraid of in these countries!" Xu Rong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The rise of the Ming Dynasty is not only the loss of these countries. The Daling Dynasty will definitely not be reconciled, and half of the meat in his bowl will be divided. As long as the battle lasts for a long time, the Daling Dynasty will inevitably intervene, and it will not end well at that time. ”
"That's it!" After thinking for a while, Wu Yunshao, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke, "Great Shuai, the last general thinks that he can unite the countries around Yan to attack Yan together. Now that we have attracted all the troops of Yan State, and now that Yan Country has no national air defense, I believe that other countries will not let go of such a good opportunity. As long as they are willing to send troops, they will distract Yan Guo's attention. When the time comes, once we capture the Yan Kingdom, we will defeat the armies of these countries in one fell swoop. ”
Xu Rong shook his head, "Now, my Ming soldiers are strong and strong, and the Quartet countries are a little afraid. In this case, not only will the countries of the Quartet not take the opportunity to attack Yan at this time, but it is very likely that they will unite with Yan and deal with our Ming Dynasty. ”
After Xu Rong's words were finished, Wu Yunshao also frowned slightly, and immediately asked, "But Dashuai, at this speed, coupled with a steady stream of reinforcements from all over the country." If we want to attack the capital of Yan Kingdom, it will take at least twenty days. ”
"Twenty days, maybe it won't take that long!" Xu Rong stared at the map, looked at it carefully for a while, and then slowly pointed his hand, "As long as we take here, we will definitely be able to succeed in one fell swoop!" ”
"Here?"
