Chapter 217: Linjiang
On the third day of January in the first year of Yonghe, the Beiliang army conquered Jibei City, and within more than ten days thereafter, the army collected the seven cities of Jibei Prefecture, and the whole province fell.
At this time, among the five prefectures of Liangzhou, there were Yu'an Mansion, Wuwei Mansion, and Jibei Mansion, all of which fell under the control of the Beiliang army, and only Linjiang and Tianshui were left.
Although Liangzhou is only ranked ninth among the thirteen states of the human race, it is located in the corner of the land, and there are fewer frequent battles in the land of the four wars, and there are no worries, and it is the easiest to get up.
Since ancient times, occupy the land of the four wars rarely win the world, most of the people who have always succeeded have started in a corner of the place, and Liangzhou undoubtedly meets this condition, behind is the reckless mountains, the miasma in the mountains is rampant, it has always been inaccessible, and the south is across the deep prison between Wuzhou and Liangzhou, the danger is incomparable, unless the gods shake with great power, otherwise with the benefit of the army, it is difficult to take.
As for the northwest of Liangzhou, which borders with Bingzhou, it is a fertile grassland, and there is quite fertile pasture grass in the territory, which is a famous place for producing horses in the world.
Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, but the south can be north, Liangzhou's strategic advantage is too superior, the time of peace is not obvious, the world is immediately revealed after the chaos, at this time the Tianyan family in North Liangcheng even under the three mansions, plus its own state city and a mansion, most of Liangzhou has fallen into the hands of the Tianyan family, just wait to take Linjiang, Tianshui two mansions, Liangzhou will be completely unified, then it is likely to be the first state in the whole world to be unified.
The land of one state is already comparable to the strength of Qi and Zheng, the strongest of the Xia princely states, and the other five countries together can be equal to the national strength of these two countries.
And in today's world, the human race on which the gods rule is the foundation has been unstable, countless gods have been overthrown, all states have been in chaos, between gods and gods, between humans and gods, between humans and people, all parties are fighting, even those ancient gods, they are only mastering the power of a government, plus all sides are fighting, all sides are harassing, up to now, the essence of the Xia Dynasty is also the strongest Seven states None of the seven states has a short-term unification trend, all of them are holding each other back, pulling back their legs, a chaos, at this time far in the north of Liangzhou, Beiliangcheng even the two provinces, has begun to coerce the general trend, people with a discerning eye can see that the unification of Liangzhou in Beiliangcheng is in front of you, naturally, snooping eyes are indispensable.
Since the beginning of the first year of Yonghe, Shinto has been completely suppressed, the gods have been difficult to get out of the legal domain, and the power of the gods to control the territory has also been completely lost, only the power of faith remains, since then it is difficult for the gods to resist the attacks of all sides, countless small gods have been breached the city, smashed the statues, scattered the believers, and lost the source of power, even if they can protect themselves in the legal domain now, but it will not be long before the legal domain is maintained, the legal domain will gradually collapse, and the true spirit itself will also die.
With the suppression of Shinto, it has become difficult for ordinary gods to make a move, plus the hidden dragons in various places, all parties are turned upside down, and only the great gods of the seventh rank and above have lost the power of the region, and their own strength is enough to suppress the overall situation, and the situation in the place is slower and calmer than other places.
On weekdays, the turtle-like castles are unhindered by the gods, and although the city walls still stand there, they are no longer so far away.
Today is the day when the army of Beiliangcheng attacked Linjiang Mansion, after repairing for a month, the Tianyan family integrated the three mansions, leaving 30,000 troops stationed in Wuwei City to defend the threat that may come from the state, 10,000 troops were stationed outside the Yuanjiao Pass, and 100,000 troops were recruited, plus the original army, at this time, the military strength of the Tianyan family has reached 200,000, and the army that attacked Linjiang City at this time is 130,000, it seems that the Tianyan family has determined to unify Liangzhou in the shortest possible time.
Tian Yanjian was already the commander of the army at this time, and he had attacked Wuwei Mansion before. When the Yuan prison pass, he got the opportunity to lead an army of 5,000 armor soldiers, and then conquered several cities one after another, defeated a large army on the battlefield several times, and fought effectively, plus the Shinto was suppressed, the power of the gods has become more and more difficult to use, and it will be more and more difficult to use the world in the future。
Riding a handsome black war horse, Tian Yanjian stood under a huge black fire phoenix handsome flag, frowning and looking at the battle report in his hand.
"All the cities in Linjiang Prefecture have reached an agreement, all the military forces have entered Linjiang City, and the city is defended, leaving only seven empty cities!
"Tell the military lord, the scouts have entered the cities to investigate, and the cities have emptied the grain in the warehouses, leaving only the old and weak in the city, and the young and strong are either fleeing or being captured to defend the city! The city is almost undefended, if the army lord sends troops at this time, these seven cities can be occupied in one day!"
"Is there any other news?" asked Tian Yanjian again.
"Tell the military master, just now the scarlet lord sent a military envoy and sent a secret report, and I am about to ask the marshal to read it!"
After speaking, a blood-red sealed scroll arrived in Tian Yanjian's hand.
"A top-secret scroll that requires the power of the Tianyan family's bloodline and a special technique to open!
Tian Yanjian stimulated the power of the few blood veins in his body, submerged in the scroll, and twisted at both ends of the scroll in a specific way, and soon after the scroll opened, revealing a small gold silk, Tian Yanjian took it out and looked at it, and found that it was a line of small characters.
"The 50,000 iron horsemen in Bingzhou have been lurking in the cold, be careful!"
Tian Yanjian was shocked in his heart, the whole territory of Wuwei was in hand, and when did Bingzhou sneak into the 50,000 iron horses?
But this information doesn't seem to be fake, if the army is attacking the city and fighting, and after both sides are defeated, an iron cavalry suddenly kills, and the army will definitely be scattered in one go!
"Praying mantis catching cicadas!" Tian Yanjian smiled, and a flame appeared, burning the golden silk in his hand to ashes.
"Report the situation here!"
"Yes!"
............
Three days later, the 100,000 troops of Beiliang arrived at Linjiang Mansion and joined the 30,000 vanguard troops led by Tian Yanjian.
"The seven cities of Linjiang are working together to defend the city! Ben Shuai has already guessed, and he doesn't want to be so decisive!" Tian Yanhuang said slowly, his phoenix eyebrows raised, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "But leaving the people all over the city is the biggest mistake!"
"What's the situation in Tianshui Mansion?" asked Tian Yanhuang again.
"Marshal, the 30,000 Yin troops under the command of the black-clothed soldier have all broken through the six cities in one day, and the gods of the six cities are scattered, and they are attacking Tianshui City at this time, and they can be captured in less than three days!"
"Report !!"
A military report came, and then a guard held a military report in his hand and put it on the handsome case.
Tian Yanhuang opened it and looked at it, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyebrows, and then he said leisurely: "The black-clothed soldier master only commanded three thousand Yin troops, and he broke through Tianshui City in one fell swoop, Tianshui Dragon Monarch and the black-clothed soldier lord were defeated and fled, and the entire territory of Tianshui Mansion fell into the hands of this god!"
"What, five thousand Yin soldiers have broken through Tianshui City?"
"Tianshui City is not inferior to this Linjiang City! Since the Yin Army under the command of the black-clothed soldier is so strong, why don't you ask it to help us break through Linjiang City?"
"If that's the case, the unification of Liangzhou is just around the corner!"
Listening to these discussions, Tian Yanhuang's heart became more and more irritable, "Black-clothed soldier master, this fang must be removed!"
"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed!" Tian Yanyu on the side picked up the information before the handsome case, and after reading it, he said leisurely: "Although it took five thousand Yin soldiers to take Tianshui Mansion, these five thousand Yin soldiers were destroyed by thunder after the city was broken, and they were completely wiped out!"
"Huh!!" Many people often breathed a sigh of relief, "This is normal, if there is such a terrible army in the world, then what do you need these regular soldiers to do? Ghosts and gods can't take over the world after all!"
"Although the black-clothed soldier master has lost 5,000 Yin troops, he still has 25,000 Yin troops under his command to use!
In the handsome tent, Tian Yanyu was dressed in green clothes, and then said leisurely.
Once again, the people in the big tent fell into a heavy atmosphere.
"But don't worry, Tianshui City was broken, in addition to the fact that Tianshui Dragon Monarch's strength is not as good as the black-clothed soldier master, it also has a lot to do with the defenders in the city!" Tian Yanyu said again: "At that time, there were 30,000 defenders in Tianshui City, but the army was only 20,000, plus there was no one in charge, only the military spirit and no one master's spirit, so naturally it was impossible to restrain the Yin army!"
"But our army is a humane and orthodox division, with a big commander in charge, and it has its own providence to protect it, and the Yin army's interference in the yang world is a move against the sky, depending on the knowledge below, this kind of means can not be used by the black-clothed soldier master a few times!"
"The black-clothed soldier master's method really won't be used a few times!" Tianyanhuang shook his head, "The ancestor of Fang Cai sent news that the black-clothed soldier master who originally planned to attack Linjiang City before and after the army was punished by heaven, and at this time he was caught in the thunder of the Nine Heavens, Tianshui Mansion was already a thunder pool, and the black-clothed soldier master was busy dealing with the heavenly calamity, and he was no longer able to help me!"
"I'll just say it! How can such evil methods be used unscrupulously? In the end, we still have to rely on a real army of flesh and blood!" Many people really breathed a sigh of relief, if there is such a terrible Yin army watching from the sidelines, even the allies are difficult to feel at ease, and now that they have been robbed by thunder, many people want to directly kill the black-clothed soldier master, get rid of this scourge, just take over Tianshui Mansion completely, and seize the entire Liangzhou without bloodshed.
"Therefore, this Linjiang City is really on our own!" Tian Yanhuang looked around majestically, his tone solemn, "Our army has never fought a real bloody battle before uprooting the city thanks to the ancestors and gods! Today is the time to temper the army!"
"Without the baptism of blood, you will never be able to become a strong army!" Tian Yanhuang Huo Ran got up and said solemnly: "Everyone, this is the last battle to unify Liangzhou, and it is also the battle of the rebirth of the army.
"I am willing to play for the big handsome!"
