Chapter 231: The Aftermath (I)
The war between Gaochang City and the Vulture Fortress was later called the prologue of a new era.
Countless historians have made a living studying this battle because there are so many interesting things that happened in it.
First of all, the Holy Alliance was like a bamboo, driving thousands of miles to the city of Gaochang, seeing that victory was in sight, but he didn't expect that the Great Liang Empire used the most elite Imperial Forest Army to counterattack, 6,000 broke 300,000, and the rest of the army was so frightened that it fled countless times.
The situation was not ordinarily good, but great, with 6,000 Imperial Guards plus 300,000 troops of the Eastern Alliance surrounding the Holy Alliance's routed army in the Vulture Fortress.
Victory was at hand, as long as the vulture fortress was defeated, there were no mobile troops for thousands of miles forward in the Holy Alliance, and the accompanying historians were ready to write dozens of articles to pass on to future generations, King Arthur came out to wipe the butts of his men.
As soon as her 60,000 Janissaries appeared, they beat the army of the Eastern Alliance—the first large-scale appearance of firearms in a war, and a better killing effect on those who had not seen firearms.
It's like modern people who will automatically crawl when they hear a gunshot, and people at that time didn't even know what was going on - there were muskets before, but it was not the same thing at all, and many people were stunned and rushed forward to be killed.
The 60,000 infantry, who completely abandoned their armor, became the grim reaper who dominated the battlefield with artillery, and the 300,000 Eastern Alliance army was killed and half surrendered, but the Imperial Forest Army of the Great Liang Empire escaped from the battlefield flexibly.
Throughout the battle, they maintained the agility and mobility of the warrior army, and maintained a cautious attitude when faced with new weapons, which became the highlight of the second battle.
The two Jedi reversals did not mean the end of the war, on the contrary, the Imperial Forest Army of the Great Liang Empire used a tactic beyond imagination.
After a short repair in Gaochang City and familiarity with the power of the captured muskets, they did not meet the Holy Alliance army approaching again, but used the strength of the warrior's feet to drive thousands of miles over the Marcus Mountains and directly attack the rear of the Holy Alliance.
The diary of the Imperial Empress Chen Yige recorded: The new weapon of the Holy Alliance was beyond our expectations, but they must not have many of them, otherwise they would not have come out now, as mentioned in the notebook of the magician Wang Huan, such a weapon needs the huge industrial support in the rear, although there are many things in the notes that I don't understand, but it does not prevent me from fighting the war.
The denser the grass, the better it is cut!
Chen Yige led the army of warriors and turned the rear of the Holy Alliance upside down, while King Arthur's Praetorian Guard could only eat dust in the rear due to the lack of ammunition and the speed of their feet.
This chase between the two sides lasted a whole year, and the warrior army proved that they were the strongest of the era, and without much logistical support, they could wreak havoc with a single sword, and a small squad could collapse a city.
Even King Arthur's Praetorian Guard, when encountering such an army in mountains and places with difficult terrain, was almost eaten.
In the end, after Chen Yige paid a heavy price, he got rid of the pursuers victoriously and led the Imperial Forest Army back to the Great Liang Empire, although the army of 6,000 people was less than 1,500 people in the end, but their sacrifice won the peace in the future.
This is a war without a winner, the Holy Alliance has suffered heavy losses, and there is a lot of mourning from top to bottom, especially the unrestricted war of the Imperial Forest Army of the Great Liang Empire, which makes them understand how terrible it is for the warriors to launch a ruthless attack.
The main force of the Eastern Alliance has been destroyed, it has become economically bankrupt, and various small countries are constantly fighting each other, and their power has been greatly reduced.
The high-spirited Imperial Forest Army of the Great Liang Empire was beaten by the head-on heavy sticks - is this the end of the era of martial artists? A young child can snipe a martial arts master with a musket, and a team of ordinary soldiers with artillery can make people desperate.
It was a war in which neither the three sides were satisfied, especially Western and Eastern scholars were arguing, because both the East and the West had a chance of victory.
Western scholars believe that King Arthur was purely pitted by his pig teammates, and if he follows King Arthur's proposition, after twenty years of peace, and a sufficient army is piled up, he can fight all the way to Yumen Pass, and it is normal to change the world.
Scholars in the East believe that the new weapons can at most cause the Liang Empire to begin to suffer heavy losses, but later counterattacks will be sharper. At the same time, they believe that Chen Yige's sabotage within the West can be a little more ruthless, and if those warrior armies completely let go of their hands and feet to kill people and sabotage, they can completely extinguish the germ of Western industry and so on.
This is the war, from the beginning to the end, this war was unexpected by Zhou Huan and Chen Yunying, but fortunately, it still came to a successful end.
Chen Yunying gained more support in the West, the Knights of the Round Table admitted their mistakes, and the destruction of the 300,000-strong army swept away the old people of the old era to some extent, and more young people took their proper positions.
The eastern world was in an uproar by firearms, and martial arts masters said that this thing is nothing, and we can also rub it out with our hands - those masters of the inner family who can open mountains and break stones, melt gold and break jade, and now often carry a big iron pipe when they fight, etc. The old men of the Ministry of Industry put out a lot of scapegoats, trying to make everyone understand that they were deceived by ignoring firearms, but this time they couldn't fool them, and many people lost their heads.
The final result of this war was that the hatred between the two sides deepened, but because of the understanding of the strength of both sides, peace also came.
Gaochang City became an undefended city, and an academy rose here, and in front of the academy stood statues of two people, the magician Wang Huan and King Arthur.
Later generations debated the relationship between these two people, according to the official statement of the Eastern world, after the magician Wang Huan arrived in the West, he accepted a female apprentice King Arthur, but he did not expect King Arthur's wolf ambition and attempted to dominate the world.
And the official statement of the Western world is that the despicable, shameless, and obscene magician Wang Huan is just a low-ranking third-rate magician who writes a small yellow book, and has no relationship with the wise, beautiful, and noble King Arthur, etc., as for why there are these two statues, this person is not the magician Wang Huan at all, but the great grandmaster Zhou Huan!
Only the Grand Master Zhou Huan is qualified to be compared with King Arthur, this is not a couple statue at all!
Well, as for Grand Duke Lancelot, it's an invisible man, the queen's rb.q, the queen is completely self-taught, etc., and it has nothing to do with the East.
