Chapter 84: The First War of the Nation's Founding
The Heavenly Han Kingdom was training its troops, and the Middle Earth Kingdom was not doing nothing, and after losing a large area of land after losing battles one after another, they also began to look for the reasons for their defeat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Weapons were taken seriously, and the nobles continued to send spies, and cooperated with the kingdom of Os, and finally acquired the technology to manufacture firearms.
The king had no way to hide it this time, and with the union of the nobles, they also acquired the technology and began to build factories and make muskets to arm the army.
In this regard, the proportion of their investment is very high, after all, there are the first two examples, if you want not to lose the country, you can only quickly increase your military strength.
Blindly building up the army, which also led to weakness in other aspects, and was invaded by the Oss Kingdom and the Tianhan Kingdom, and their benefits were not very large.
For this large-scale army, it is a huge expense, and in this situation of making ends meet, the depressed economy of the Middle Earth Kingdom cannot support it.
In this way, they can only disarm and reduce their expenses, otherwise they can consume themselves to death.
Of course, there is another way, and that is to start a war, and the war dividends can also solve their current predicament.
War does not mean that it can be waged when it is launched, but first of all, it is necessary to ensure that there are sufficient interests.
Both the Oss Kingdom and the Heavenly Han Kingdom are enemies of the Middle Earth Kingdom, and as long as they are defeated, they will be able to subdue the land and stabilize the interior.
Moreover, these two countries have advanced technology, which is not available in the Kingdom of Middle-earth.
However, the Oss Kingdom is not easy to deal with, and their weight is now greater than that of the Middle Earth Kingdom, and a war with them is simply a brain drain.
The Middle Earth Kingdom is preparing to deal with the Heavenly Han Kingdom, a country that has emerged from nowhere.
Judging from the information they obtained, the Tianhan Kingdom is another race, and their number is not large, otherwise they would not recruit gray soldiers.
Not only that, there are very few human beings in the Huangsha area, and it is completely impossible to see the appearance of a big country.
For these alien races, the kingdom of Middleland can completely shout the slogan that those who are not our race must have different hearts, in order to incite those gray soldiers.
In this way, they can make Huangsha City civil strife, and they can take it in one fell swoop and obtain advanced technology.
Even if those gray soldiers did not respond, they were confident that they would defeat the Heavenly Han Kingdom.
After all, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers here, and their Middle-earth Kingdom has built troops and horses over the years, purchased a large number of firearms, and now has more than 200,000 line infantry.
The size of the army was enough for them to set foot in the Huangsha region, which had a total population of only one million.
War can only be started because of the self-confidence of one of the parties, and the Kingdom of Middle-earth now has such self-confidence.
In their eyes, the Tianhan Kingdom is nothing more than a paper tiger with a little more advanced technology.
This paper tiger has robbed a lot of resources, and the nobles of the Middle Earth Kingdom have also learned through the fine work that the goods bought by the Tianhan Kingdom and the Oss Kingdom are all huge profits.
Those traitorous merchants also became rich, even richer than some of their nobles, which made the nobles very greedy.
It's a pity that even if they imitate it, they can't make those beautiful and low-cost goods.
Driven by interests and for various reasons, they tore up the armistice agreement and launched a sneak attack on the Huangsha area without declaring war.
This time, the Kingdom of Middle-earth was very careful, in order to prevent internal details, they were all kept strictly secret, and only a small number of officers knew about it.
The sneak attack of the Middle Earth Kingdom was also very smooth, with the help of Kinoshita Castle as a springboard, they directly attacked a regiment of the Tianhan Kingdom stationed on the border at night.
Because it was too sudden, they sent a lot of troops this time, and this line infantry regiment was wiped out overnight, and several surrounding towns also fell into the hands of the Middle-earth Kingdom.
This did not end there, and at the same time, in the Huangsha area, many incited civilians took to the streets one after another, shouting slogans that those who are not of our race will have different hearts.
But they were obviously disappointed, and not many people responded, and the response was basically the remnants of the aristocracy, and some young grays.
The governor of the Huangsha region was personally appointed by Lin Xiao, and he was named Huangcheng, the meaning of which is unknown, and he also slowly climbed up from the bottom, but he was not a good person.
For these people who don't have any 'gratitude' and betray the Tianhan Kingdom, Huang Cheng will not be merciful and arrest them all.
According to the circumstances of the offense, punishment shall be in accordance with the law.
I almost forgot that the Tianhan Kingdom is currently under military control, and the laws are very strict, and it can even be said to be harsh, so you can imagine the punishment they will receive.
At the same time, a public opinion offensive was launched, and the newspapers in the Huangsha area and various places that could control public opinion were all under the control of the Tianhan Kingdom.
To make a little splash in this is simply wishful thinking.
The interior of the Huangsha region was not affected, and with the help of this opportunity, the Tianhan Kingdom found out a large number of internal details.
Stabilizing the interior is only one aspect, but it is also necessary to fight back against the invading kingdom of Middle-earth.
A large number of troops were assembled and transported to the front by rail, responding to the sneak attack of the Kingdom of Middle-earth in the shortest of worlds.
With such a fast speed, the Midearth Kingdom did not expect that they did not have the importance of the railway after all.
Even if I guessed that the Tianhan Kingdom had a railway, the speed of support would be faster, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, and in less than a day, the army was transported to the front line.
Since the Zhongdi Kingdom was a sneak attack this time, the number of troops sent out was not very large, and it was completely unable to resist the menacing Tianhan Kingdom army.
The territory that had just been occupied was thrown out before it was warmed up in his hands.
At this time, the main force of the Central Earth Kingdom arrived and began to engage the Heavenly Han Kingdom head-on.
The current ratio of the number of soldiers invested by the two sides is 1 to 5, which means that every Tianhan soldier needs to fight against 5 soldiers in the Middle Earth.
However, the guns in the hands of the Tianhan soldiers were rifled flintlock guns, and the artillery was at least 6-pounder guns, and there were many large-scale weapons such as 18-pounder guns.
Larger artillery is also available in the Tianhan Kingdom, but it is too huge and is generally equipped on ships, which is not very good at solving mobility.
So these huge artillery pieces are equipped in the city and used for defense.
The soldiers of Middle-earth did not have such advanced weapons, they basically had arquebuses in their hands, and flintlock pistols were only available to the elite.
There are not a lot of artillery, basically all 6-pounder guns, and there are not many 6-pounder guns.
In the case of similar soldiers on both sides, the huge difference in firepower was a massacre.
However, the average quality of the soldiers in China was not as high as that of the Tianhan Kingdom, and although they learned advanced tactics from the Ostro Kingdom, there were not many officers who could train soldiers.
And it is very easy for Tianhan Kingdom to want officers, and the two naturally cannot be compared.
But the Tianhan Kingdom did not have much advantage, and even fell into disadvantage, you must know that the number of soldiers in the Middle Earth is simply too much.
Killing them will not hurt or itch in the Middle Earth Kingdom, and if one of the Heavenly Han soldiers dies, the remaining pressure will be more and more intense.
This problem can also be avoided by the difference in firepower, but the Middle-earth Kingdom actually sent a large number of cavalry to send them to death without money.
In Lin Xiao's opinion, the cavalry that should withdraw from the stage of history actually achieved a lot of results with the cooperation of the line infantry......
