Chapter 305: Sparks Burn the Plains
In the entire March of 2019, the two border wastelands in the northeast and northwest of the Minyue Plain of the Yue Kingdom were full of wolf smoke. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Nearly 20 million of the Chu "Plains Column" entered these two barren lands, and from beginning to end they did not attack any cities, but they set off monstrous waves in the villages, towns and countryside.
With the conquering of villages and towns, the expulsion of nobles, and the return of wealth to the people, the concept of "freedom and equality" of Qingyun people soon penetrated into the hearts of the residents of border villages and towns.
The aristocracy of the Yue Kingdom was naturally unwilling, and returned with a group of returnees, regaining their lost land and wealth, punishing the rebels, and causing many tragedies of slaughtering villages and towns.
On the other hand, the Plains Column relied on strange tunnels to make frequent sorties to save civilians. Avoiding the brigade legion and specializing in sneak attacks to eliminate the noble troops of the squad is like knocking kraft candy, a piece today and a pile tomorrow.
On the one hand, there was consistent oppression and bloody massacre, and on the other hand, it was divided into fields and grains, and efforts were made to rescue, and it didn't take long for the hearts of hundreds of millions of border civilians to turn to the Chu army and begin to identify with the "Qingyun people". And took the initiative to rise up and rebel.
Because of the characteristics of the concentration of high military forces in the Qingyun Continent, the activities of the border rebel army and the plain column were concentrated around the small city, and they stayed away from the heavily defended city.
The noble legions of the Yue Kingdom attacked repeatedly, and the rebel army of the border people often avoided the battle, like a flock of sparrows scattered in a hurry. When the army dispersed and pursued, the border people quickly gathered again, and together with the elusive column of the Chu Plain, they swept away the squads that rushed to the front.
As for the inter-city routes, thousands of border rebel armies were active on the transportation routes from the border cities to the central belt.
If the nobles have less than 10,000 escorts to and from the city, they will basically be attacked by dozens of times the rebel army, and few of them can reach it smoothly.
In the end, the nobles could only gather 100,000 horses at a time before they dared to go on the road. Even so, they were attacked at least a hundred times a day.
The rebels could not do the regular army, so they attacked the goods, trapped, stoned, set fires, flooded, and attacked in various ways. Usually no more than half of the goods reach their destination.
The rebel army grew in size, and even gathered a large army of more than a million and began to attack small cities scattered far away.
Although the defense of these small cities is not bad, the strength of ordinary warriors can fight ten at a time, but they can't stand a thousand people to fight one. By the end of March, two or three of the more than 300 small cities in the border area were being breached every day.
To make matters worse, the uprising of the border people also affected the Central Plains. Civilian uprisings, rogues rebelled, careerists took advantage of the situation to divide the territory, and the Minyue Plain became a pot of porridge.
The main battle corps of the Yue Kingdom, which was originally preparing to go north to regain the lost territory, had to run around like a firefighting team and eliminate Buchen everywhere. It's a pity that although the strength of these emerging forces is extremely weak, they will collapse at the first touch. But as soon as the legion left, it reappeared, or reappeared from the vicinity in a different way.
From Emperor Chen Haisheng to the generals of the Yue Legion, they were all busy.
In the end, Chen Haisheng gritted his teeth and issued a "slaughter order":
"In towns and villages where there were more than three rebellions, men as high as wheels were to be beheaded. ”
As soon as the slaughter order was given, the Minyue Plain was suddenly stained red with blood.
However, under the high pressure, the resistance became more and more intense. The rebels began to quickly coalesce together, forming a force large enough to rival (at least on the surface) of the regular legions, and to fight the repressive forces to the death.
Although most of them have just failed, they will still escape and merge with other forces and new rebels.
The aristocratic system of the Yue Kingdom has been followed for thousands of years, and the malpractices and problems have been backlogged for thousands of years.
Outside Nanxiu City, Lu Ning, the commander who was intensively deploying the depth of defense, was a little surprised.
When Gu Wen's plan to spark the prairie was issued, Lu Ning raised his hands in favor.
Throw in smaller forces to create a disturbance within the enemy, pin down the enemy, and gain more time to set up defenses. This tactic is absolutely counterpointing.
Lu Ning believed that through such a harassment war, he could buy at least one to two weeks for the Southern Expeditionary Corps.
But I didn't expect that the two small troops of tens of millions of people were thrown down, but they fell into a hot oil pot like a drop of cold water, and the whole pot exploded.
It is expected that the main battle corps of South Vietnam, which has already reached the city of Nanxiu, is still running wolf rushing tens of thousands of miles away, and it is very busy.
The head of the city of Nanxiu is still flowing in the river, and only a few crows occasionally croaking and flying by.
Lu Ning sighed and ordered the demolition of the temporary wooden anti-cavalry fence in front of him:
"Is it better to build a semi-permanent protective wall that combines wood and stone, or is it better to build a permanent protective embankment with iron core concrete?" Lu Ning hesitated in his heart.
"Commander!" Staff officer Wang Jin ran over excitedly waving the battle report: "Just received the battle report, the plain column gathered the rebel army in the border city, and captured the five small cities of Ziyin, Deyin, Jianyin, Waijiang, and Narrowyuan, and Beichong and Dashan are also about to arrive. ”
"There were four more major battles in the central plains of Minyue today, the 14th Army Corps in the south of Vietnam defeated the National Unification Army, the 8th Army Corps in the East and the Citi Regiment in the small file, and the 9th Special Operations Regiment of the Central Army fought with the new King Dayuan under the city of Huaiyang, but the 33rd Army Corps in the West was attacked by the Mauritian Liberal Party and lost 60,000 people. ”
"Dashuai, the situation is very good!" Wang Jin's small triangular eyes shone with a scorching light: "Now that South Vietnam is in turmoil, it is the time for our army to pursue the victory, why don't we take this opportunity to go south and destroy the South Vietnam Kingdom in one fell swoop." ”
Lu Ning finally made up his mind and ordered: "Commander Pei of the Digger Army, build this place into a permanent protective embankment combining iron and stone." ”
Commander Pei led the order and left.
Wang Jin was puzzled: "Marshal, now that the main force of the Vietnamese army is far away from Nanxiu City, it is still unknown whether there is a chance to attack our army. Didn't our plains column do a pretty job?"
"Those who have aspirations, the sky is not worth it, and three thousand Chujia can be swallowed. This is an immortal achievement. ”
Lu Ning smiled slightly and said, "Staff Officer Wang, although the current situation is gratifying, the strength accumulated by South Vietnam for thousands of years has not been fatally hit. The main force of the Yue Kingdom basically did not suffer major losses, and the Northern Army Corps itself was a chicken rib and was nothing. ”
"Don't look at the lively fighting on the Minyue Plain at this time, but it is a mixture of fish and dragons, each with its own opinions. There are only two possibilities for us to intervene at this time. ”
"What are the two possibilities?" is a necessary quality of staff and think tanks, although Wang Jin is puzzled, he is still proficient in basic routines.
"The first possibility is that our army will be involved in a melee, not only with the Vietnamese army, but also with all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods, and it is still two to say who the winner will be in the end. ”
"And the second possibility, as a foreign invader, will become the target of public criticism. All forces in Vietnam will put aside the civil war and fight to the death with us first. ”
"In my opinion, the second is more likely. Only two rebels in the border cities were probably able to reluctantly accept us because of their long-term cooperation with the Plains Column. ”
"Therefore, our army cannot attack, but needs to focus on defense and wait for the situation to tilt on the Minyue Plain. ”
"After all, there are more important battlefields to be opened. ”
"More important battlefield?" Wang Jin continued to praise professionally.
"You don't need to know that, you'll find out in a few days. Lu Ning smiled and said:
"The most important thing for me now is not to occupy more territory of the Yue Kingdom, but to hold on to the Sangliu Plain behind me. ”
"What does it matter to defend the Sangliu Plain, this barren and narrow enclave? It is even more important than occupying the heartland of the Yue Kingdom?" Wang Jin said in surprise.
"I don't know, but this is the royal advisor in the capital, do you have any opinions?"
"Legendary advisor, could it be the young genius who exterminated the corpse demon, Pingxi, invented the 'Shadowless Bridge' and 'Gu's Poisonous Dragon Drill', and created the 'Guerrilla Warfare in the Plains', 'Tunnel Warfare' and 'Sparrow Warfare', Mr. Gu Wengu?"
Lu Ning touched his nose: "I didn't know that kid was so famous." However, when I asked for the construction of a permanent protective embankment just now, I really remembered Gu Wen's advice. ”
Wang Jin exhaled a long breath: "I see, no wonder. Since it was Mr. Gu who said it, it must be right. I immediately followed up on the design of the levee to make sure it was indestructible and indelible. Marshal, farewell!"
After taking two steps, he turned back and said:
"Marshal, since we want to protect the Sangliu Plain with all our might, this side of Nanxiu City alone is not enough. There are loopholes in the defense of the two battle forts of Thunder and Rain Dew, which need to be strengthened, especially the defense of the side and rear must be extended.
"Seventeen possible locations have been identified along the Luo River, and the river should be widened and monitoring posts should be established. There may be other hidden places to cross the river, which must be sorted out again. ”
"The defenses of the east and west entrances of the Sangshu Plain are weak, and it is also necessary to build a war fortress, preferably a fortress, but unfortunately the materials for the fortress are almost impossible to buy. I'll have to talk to my colleagues in the staff to see what other vulnerabilities there might be. ”
Wang Jin counted with his fingers on one panel, and left Lu Ning to take care of himself and walked away.
Lu Ning was dumbfounded, and suddenly smiled dumbly for a while: "I didn't expect that Gu Xiaozi already has a die-hard fan in the army." It's even more effective than Ben Shuai's words. What kind of world is this?" (To be continued.) )
