Episode 11 Aid Yan (1)
This winter in the Blue Star Country is even colder than ever. Although it was late at night, the Blue Star Fort in the capital city of Hanzhong, like the business district in the city center, was still brightly lit and did not be deserted because of the cold weather. However, this does not mean that people's hearts are hot, because a fierce evil qi from the western part of Dongyanzhou, just like the cold snap before winter, rolls towards the Blue Star Country, making people shudder.
On Kangnai's desk was a report sent back by the "Pan-Blue Operation" organization lurking in Zhao Yanchu and other countries, which recorded in detail the situation of the Qin army's invasion of Zhao and Yan in the past few months, as well as an analysis of the war situation. Looking at the report, the worry on Connell's face grew stronger.
On September 7, the Qin army defeated the allied forces of King Qin of Zhao and captured Lingxiang County, an important town in the eastern part of Zhao State, and the Zhao royal family and the remnants of the army withdrew into Yan State, and all the territory of Zhao State was occupied by Qin troops. ”
On October 15, the Qin army invaded Yan on a large scale and defeated the Yan army in Loushang County, killing 20,000 enemies and losing more than 10,000 people. ”
On November 30, the Qin army once again defeated the main force of the Yan-Zhao coalition army in Dangxiang County, killing 40,000 enemies and approaching Jicheng, the capital of Yan. ”
On December 25, the Qin army captured Jicheng, annihilated 50,000 defenders, lost 30,000 themselves, and the king of Yan was seriously injured, and the Yan dynasty retreated to the three eastern counties. ”
...
Kang Nai flipped up the report in annoyance, sighed, looked at the snowy courtyard outside the window, and after a moment of silence, he said to Arden on the side: "I have met the envoys of Yan and Zhao today, and they have vaguely revealed to us the current situation, the situation is similar to what we know, and some are even worse than we know. ”
Arden frowned and asked, "What's the matter, what did the envoys of these two countries say?"
Kang Nai said: "After the death of King Zhao Man of Zhao State, the crown prince Zhao Mian, who escaped from the Zhao capital by luck, gathered up the remnants of his forces and fled to Yan State, retaining part of his strength, and since the war between Yan State and the Qin army, the losses have been extremely heavy. It is estimated that the remaining forces of these two countries are about 150,000 at most, and the top-level combat strength above the Dan Realm does not exceed 20 people. This time, they finally had no way out, and sent messengers to ask our country to support them. But the ridiculous thing is that they actually demanded that the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces must be led by their two countries. Hehe, these arrogant guys really underestimate us!"
Arden sneered, nodded and said, "It's really ridiculous! The top infant realm monks in their two countries are dead and one injured, and even if there are other infant realm monks, the number of high-level monks is not much more than ours, so why should they put on a high posture and press on our heads? It seems that they still think too highly of themselves! They obviously want our assistance, but they are not willing to sit on an equal footing with us, they are really self-deceiving guys! You didn't agree to their request, did you?"
Connell shook his head and said, "How is that possible?!" Of course I won't promise them. But then again, no matter what the relationship between us and Yan Zhao was in the past, now we should really put aside those useless quarrels, focus on the overall situation, and unite Yan Zhao against Qin. After all, the Qin State is our biggest enemy now, and the assistance to Yan and Zhao still has to be done. In terms of forming a coalition army, Schroeder has already led his Flying Leopard Regiment to set off, and it is believed that it will soon be at the front line. ”
Arden nodded and said, "Well, you're right. However, Schroeder took the initiative to ask for help this time, even I felt very strange, presumably he couldn't help but compete with the Qin army on the battlefield a long time ago, right? The Qin State is bent on occupying the entire Dongyan Continent, and the relationship with other countries is endless, of course we can't ignore the overall situation of the Qin State because of discord with Yan and Zhao. However, since they want to cooperate with these two countries with bad intentions, they can't help them in vain, and they also have to stand on the front line in the fight against Qin. ”
Kang Nai smiled slightly and said: "Schroeder is a person who understands, don't worry, not to mention that the joint confrontation against the Qin army is the first major matter, and the two countries of Yan and Zhao should not have any other ideas." But even if they have any intentions, these two countries have been almost defeated by the Qin State, the territory has been lost one after another, all important resources and minerals are gone, and even self-protection is extremely reluctant, not to mention, it is not certain who is fighting who is fighting who now. ”
Arden looked at him and asked, "Oh, is there any latest progress in Operation Pan-Blue?"
Connell nodded and said, "Yes." According to the report of the action group lurking in the two countries of Yan and Zhao, we now have more than a hundred secret organizations in these two countries, and more than 500,000 mortals and more than 1,000 monks have joined them and become our secret members. On the surface, these organizations fought on their own, but in fact they supported each other, and played a significant role in protecting mortals and resisting the invasion of the Qin army, so they were supported by many people in these two countries. This is a very good job! You know, we are where we are today because of the support of the people!"
Arden's eyes lit up, he smiled and nodded, and said, "Very good, very good! We should increase our support for these organizations, and give as much support as possible in terms of activity funds and material assistance, and I will try my best to get the approval of the Congress." And it would be better for us to send more people from China to do guidance, so that we can have a better understanding of the situation of these two countries and the Qin army, and what plans we have in the future, so that we can carry out operations. ”
"Well, of course. But it's too early to think about this, and the biggest threat at the moment is still the Qin army. According to the reports from the front, the Qin army is definitely a very strong and terrifying enemy, much stronger than our past enemies, and it is not so easy to deal with such an enemy. Connell pointed to the report on the table and said with a little concern.
"According to our intelligence, after all these years of development, the front-line team of the Qin army has a total of more than 300,000 people, including nearly 100 Dan Realm monks and more than 10 Infant Realm monks, which is a very terrifying force. The Qin army's tactical skills and fighting methods are also much stronger than traditional armies like Yan Zhao, and the soldiers all have a strong will to fight, and they are extremely fierce on the battlefield. ”
Moreover, in addition to its strong combat effectiveness, the Qin army also shocked all countries with its great reputation. Fierce and brutal on the battlefield, against the fierce resistance of the enemy, after winning and capturing the opponent, must kill all the captured soldiers in the most brutal way, even the civilian will not let go, in this way to deter the enemy. Since the start of the war, hundreds of cities in the three kingdoms of Wei, Yan and Zhao have been slaughtered by the Qin army, and tens of millions of people in the three kingdoms have been tortured and killed. For example, after the Qin army captured the capital of Zhao a few months ago, they captured 100,000 Zhao troops and killed all of them on the spot. Therefore, many times, before the armies of various countries have fought with it, they are shocked by its fierce name, and their combat effectiveness cannot be exerted much. ”
Arden also frowned slightly, and said, "Hmm... It is indeed terrifying that the Qin army can destroy Wei and Zhao in such a short period of time, and then force the Yan State to this level. However, our army is not vegetarian, neither the number nor the weapons and equipment are worse than the Qin army, and if we encounter it on the battlefield, we don't know who will kill the deer!"
Kang Nai nodded, and after a moment, he said, "Well, in addition to the threat of the Qin army, there are other aspects that I am worried about. Do you remember the research on the Black Alliance that we discussed earlier? Since we learned that the strength of the Qin State has a lot to do with the Black Alliance, our intelligence system has been collecting information related to it, but since the beginning of the war, there has been no information about the Black Alliance forces on the battlefield, and the Qin Army has been fighting with its own combat strength, which is not quite in line with our previous guesses. ”
Arden thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's weird indeed. However, I don't think that this black alliance will be silent forever, and the Qin army will not use this power without using their power to deal with Wei Zhaoyan, and maybe not necessarily at other times. In short, we must be prepared, in addition to taking the Qin army as the main enemy, we must also be prepared to deal with the Black Alliance. ”
Kang Nai nodded and said: "Compared to the Qin army, we are not weak in terms of the number of troops and weapons and equipment, if we carry out a national mobilization, only the monk soldiers can mobilize 500,000 people, and the mortal soldiers can mobilize more than tens of millions of people." Bizen and they are constantly developing new weapons, all of which are developed for a Xiuzhen army like the Qin army, and even if they are used by mortal soldiers, they can exert powerful combat effectiveness. The only drawback is that the number of our high-ranking monks is still a little smaller. ”
Arden said a little helplessly: "No way. Now we are the only one who has reached the infant realm cultivation, although Tang Long, Ivanov, Schroeder and others have made a lot of progress in this short period of time, but they are still at the Dan realm level, not to mention that they have to be distracted from military affairs, and they don't have much time to cultivate. However, this is not temporary, as long as it can give us more than ten years, I believe we will definitely be able to cultivate more high-level monks. ”
Kang Nai nodded and said: "Yes, the number of our high-level monks is indeed a lot less, this time, we have sent 20,000 reinforcements to Yan and Zhao, among which the three Dan Realm monks with the highest combat power are Schroeder, compared with the Yan Zhao army, the number of high-level monks is a lot less." This is also the reason why Yan and Zhao still look down on us a little? However, if they think that they can't fight without high-level monks, then they are very wrong! Our army in the Blue Star Kingdom doesn't just rely on high-level monks. ”
Arden smiled slightly and said, "Well, I believe so! Just look at how Schroeder behaved this time? I hope that he can bring us good news this time when he joins Yan to participate in the battle against the Qin army!"
