Chapter 178: The Fisherman Profits
Winter was not a good season for war in Middle-earth, where the four seasons were distinct, and the cold weather caused great consumption of the human body, the increase in the number of people with wind chill, the lack of food and grass, and the difficulty of walking the road due to ice and snow, all brought great difficulties to the war.
But whether it is in Nanyue or Longxi, the war has begun, and it is impossible for one side to take the initiative to withdraw its troops, and each side is gritting its teeth and holding on, waiting for the other party to be unable to stand the cold and expose its weakness, and then take the opportunity to attack.
Fortunately, the territory of Longxi Kingdom is fine, Longxi Kingdom's combat strength is not comparable to that of Nanyue, and there is an alliance of Chiyang Kingdom to fight, the civil war is nearing the end as early as autumn, and now the border battle with Cangqiu Country is being carried out in an orderly manner.
Compared with the two great powers that have retained a lot of their own military strength, the battle between North Vietnam and South Vietnam can be described as a life-and-death battle.
The two sides blocked both sides of the Yi River for several months, and the South Vietnamese desperately did not allow the North Vietnamese to cross the river, and the North Vietnamese desperately wanted to cross the river.
Once the Yi River is crossed, it will soon arrive at Hanjing, the capital of the Nanyue Kingdom, and once Hanjing is lost, the Nanyue Kingdom will not be far from the country of destruction, so the army of the Nanyue Kingdom will not let the Beiyue Kingdom cross the river no matter what.
But the North Vietnamese country will not give up crossing the river, the North Vietnamese country will definitely not give up the attack, this war has exhausted the entire strength of the North Vietnamese country, and now all the North Vietnamese countries are sick old women and children, these sick old women and children in order to support them to fight on the battlefield, but also desperately in the barren land to cultivate food.
The soldiers of North Vietnam carried the dreams and expectations of the king of North Vietnam, every one of the people of North Vietnam, and every one of their relatives, and the people of North Vietnam longed to leave that barren land and return to the fertile land where their ancestors once lived. Once the North Vietnamese are defeated, leaving only a group of sick old women and children, the South Vietnamese will invade in one go, and hatred will make them slaughter the whole country.
The North Vietnamese army would not allow that to happen, so everyone was desperate.
The same is true of the South Vietnamese army, even if the North Vietnamese and the South Vietnamese are the same country in history, but now the behavior of the North Vietnamese is simply aggression, aggression for no reason, how could they allow the aggressor country to kill wantonly on their territory, hatred and hatred ignited their anger, they wanted to kill all the North Vietnamese people, and not a single one was left.
The winter of Nanyue will not freeze, and there is rarely heavy snow, and the Yi River is still raging, but now the Yi River is blood red, the sound of fighting is constant, and the floating corpses are endless.
This cross-river offensive and defensive battle, which lasted for more than half a year, was listed as one of the most tragic battles in the Xuantian Continent, and this war finally ended with the victory of North Vietnam across the river, after the end of this war, only 40,000 of the 100,000 troops of the North Vietnamese State remained, and the 200,000 troops of the South Vietnamese State were folded by nearly half.
In addition to the 10,000 captured during the battle, the remaining 40,000 troops were forced to retreat back to Hanjing due to the sudden attack by an unknown army, and the remaining 40,000 people were forced to defend the banks of the Yi River, but they were outflanked by the North Vietnamese army and annihilated.
Although in fact, part of the reason for the defeat of the South Vietnamese was that the grain and grass were inexplicably burned several times and shook the morale of the army, and the prisoners who were full of confidence to sneak attack that night, they still couldn't figure out how a good boat could sink when it was about to reach the other side of the river, and they let the enemy catch them before they could fight.
The camp of the phoenix underworld.
"Mustache" Zheng Yun and his brothers of the Huaishui Gang were all wrapped in wolf skin mattresses, holding a bowl of steaming ginger soup, curled up in the corner, trembling and scolding in their hearts, let people go down to the river to dig out boats in the winter, it is simply not a person who gave this order!
The North Vietnamese were thrilled to capture the north of the Yi River, and although there were only 40,000 people left, these 40,000 were as holy as madness and demons as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. They felt that they were sacred, carrying the mission of the country and the hope of their dead companions, and that for the sake of such sacredness, they had to fight until they died.
The North Vietnamese army quickly moved south, and after crossing the Yi River, there were almost no troops left in the South Vietnamese State, and all the troops were transferred to Hanjing to defend the imperial city.
The march of the North Vietnamese was very smooth, and within a month it reached the outside of Hanjing.
Due to the heavy losses of the North Vietnamese army, the sneak attack of the Phong Underworld did play a role in the Battle of Yihe, although the two sides were not yet completely convinced, but the North Vietnamese finally began to regard the Phong Underworld army as a close ally.
With 10,000 captives from the South Yue Kingdom, the army of the Feng Ming Kingdom no longer needs to be the vanguard army, and now, the two sides get along very well.
Harmoniously came to the outside of Hanjing, plus the 90,000 captured troops against the 30,000 South Vietnamese troops who were closed in the city.
At this time, the emperor of Nanyue had already abandoned the capital and fled to the south under the protection of 30,000 elite soldiers.
The North Vietnamese themselves did not expect it to be so smooth, and despite the tragic process, the ending was undoubtedly exciting.
They felt themselves glorious and dazzling, their emotions were high and triumphant, and each of them was fantasizing about the glory and splendor of his victorious return.
What they didn't know was that at this time, the territory of North Vietnam had changed dramatically.
In the fourth year of Qingping, in midsummer, when the North Vietnamese army was still fighting fiercely by the Yi River, the Feng Lord of Feng Ming led 40,000 troops of Feng Ming State to suddenly attack Helai Mountain at the junction of Feng Ming Kingdom and North Yue Kingdom.
The border soldiers of the Feng Ming Kingdom and the North Yue Kingdom are the least, the mountains, the desert, and the barren and sick Feng Ming Kingdom, in the eyes of the world, the Feng Ming Kingdom is a country that will only be attacked by others, but will not pose a threat to anyone, as long as other countries blow a breath to the Feng Ming Kingdom, the Feng Ming Kingdom will collapse.
Of course, the North Yue Kingdom also thinks so, the North Yue Kingdom is the upper country of the Feng Ming Kingdom, and the two countries are allies, and most of the troops of the Feng Ming Kingdom have already gone out with the army of the North Yue Kingdom, and the North Yue Kingdom has promised to allow the Feng Ming Kingdom to move back to Middle-earth after the war, and the Feng Ming Kingdom has no reason to attack the North Yue Kingdom, and the North Yue Kingdom never thought that the Feng Ming Kingdom would invade the North Yue Kingdom.
Because of the war with the South Vietnamese Kingdom, there were almost no troops in the territory of the North Vietnamese Kingdom, and the unexpectedly strong troops of the Feng Ming Kingdom soon blocked the entire territory.
A group of sick old women and children in North Vietnam were enclosed in the country like caged birds, but because the Feng Ying army did nothing but block the border, probably because the people of Feng Ming were really good-looking, the young men in the army were very good to attract the attention of the big girls and little daughters-in-law, and it was easy for people to like them, plus they were at least more polite than the North Vietnamese army when borrowing food, so it didn't cause too much disgust.
Although the people also hoped that the army on the battlefield would come back, they knew that it was unlikely, and after a long time, they got used to it, so they went with the flow.
Only the Beiyue Emperor Han was holding his 10,000 personal guards trembling in the palace.
