Chapter 287: Foregone conclusion
Xia Nan and Wu Tianheng would not interfere in the battle of ordinary armies like the Grandmaster Realm martial artists of the Cao Gang, this level was too inferior, it was really inferior. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Grandmaster Realm martial artists of the Cao Gang are okay, and their strength is among the martial artists of the Grandmaster Realm, they can have the upper hand, and they can occupy a relatively high position.
The strength of these martial artists in the Grandmaster Realm is really good, but their conduct is really not good, and when the Cao Gang army couldn't defeat the army of the Hanyang Gang, they actually intervened.
Martial artists of the Grandmaster Realm are not allowed to participate in the battles of ordinary armies in principle, but the Grandmaster Realm warriors of the Cao Gang are unruly, and they have to do this, they want to redeem the end of defeat and want to struggle to the death, but unfortunately it is not so easy to do.
As a strong man in the Grandmaster Realm, Xia Nan's strength is indeed extremely strong, with the strength to fight beyond the level, with the cultivation of the Grandmaster Realm, he can actually fight with the martial artists of the Great Grandmaster Realm, and his strength and combat effectiveness are really earth-shattering.
With an incomparably powerful attack power, he killed four of the nine martial artists of the Cao Gang Grandmaster Realm at once, which is definitely a big deal in the rivers and lakes.
The strength of the martial artists of the Grandmaster Realm is strong enough, and above the rivers and lakes, they can occupy a certain position, so high.
For such a Grandmaster Realm martial artist, the death of one person is considered a big deal, and in this battle, it is really surprising and shocking that so many people have died one after another.
Xia Nan and Wu Tianheng made a move, and they were indeed very powerful, and the martial artists of the Grandmaster Realm were killed like toys under their hands, and they had no power to fight back at all.
killed as many as seven of the nine Grandmaster Realm martial artists, and the remaining two even ran away, the speed is called a fast, I wish my parents had two more legs, and they could escape faster.
In this case, Xia Nan and Wu Tianheng can still abide by the rules and not attack the ordinary army after they have won, which is already extremely good.
Although Xia Nan and Wu Tianheng no longer attacked the ordinary army after solving the martial artists of the Grandmaster Realm, the soldiers of the Cao Gang had completely lost their fighting spirit and could no longer exert much combat effectiveness.
On the contrary, in this situation, after seeing Xia Nan and Wu Tianheng's great might, the morale of the Hanyang Gang was even more invigorated, and it reached a peak at once.
On the side of the Hanyang Gang, there were already more people, and after burning half of the people and ships of the Cao Gang in one fire, the remaining people or ships of the Cao Gang were no longer as good as the Hanyang Gang.
As a result, the balance of the battle tilted violently towards the side of the Hanyang Gang, and in the end, the victory of the Hanyang Gang was a foregone conclusion.
Xia Nan's battle with the Cao Gang Grandmaster Realm martial artists still had a great impact, and after killing seven of the nine Grandmaster Realm martial artists, the deterrent effect was really great.
Under this great deterrent, the morale of the Cao Gang was really low to the extreme, and there was no desire to fight, and among the remaining 40,000 people, not many of the 40,000 troops of the Cao Gang were really killed, and most of them were forced to surrender.
Half of the 80,000 troops dispatched by the Cao Gang were burned by a fire, and the remaining half of the number, less than 40,000 people, were killed by the army of the Hanyang Gang, and less than 30,000 surrendered in the end.
Less than 30,000 people, less than a hundred ships, this is the most direct harvest of the Hanyang Gang after this battle, but, fortunately, the 100 ships are not bad, not the kind of small ships, but large ships.
After defeating the Cao Gang's army in one fell swoop, Xia Nan continued to lead the army of the Hanyang Gang forward, and he must find out the Cao Gang's lair and decide the battle in one battle.
As a gang with a very deep background, it is not so easy to completely kill the Hanyang Gang, and if you don't win this battle, you will definitely be able to uproot the Cao Gang.
Yes, after such a defeat in a battle, it is basically impossible for the Cao Gang to restore the previous grand occasion, but if the Cao Gang turns from light to darkness and specifically opposes the Hanyang Gang, it will not be a good thing.
The so-called cutting grass does not eradicate the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, with Xia Nan's idea, it is definitely necessary to uproot the Cao Gang, and solve all the regrets in the future with a strong attitude.
As a big gang that controls the canal, the Cao Gang has many strongholds on both sides of the canal, not only the existence of headquarters, but also the location of some sub-strongholds, which is very powerful.
Under Xia Nan's planning, the army of the Hanyang Gang was divided into waves, killing the strongholds of the Hanyang Gang on both sides of the canal, and the strength shown was really earth-shattering.
With the morale and combat effectiveness displayed by the Hanyang Gang army, and the power generated by Xia Nan and Wu Tianheng pressing the formation, it is really unimaginably powerful.
In a horizontal way, one by one, the strength of that kind of power is really incomparable, when the 80,000 army failed to win the army of the Hanyang Gang, the other Cao Gang strongholds on both sides of the canal were pushed down by this force.
There are not only strongholds in the open, but also strongholds in the dark, and the Cao Gang, as a gang with a very deep background, has many strongholds in addition to the forces on the surface.
Those Cao Gang members who surrendered are still of some use, from their mouths, Xia Nan knows some of the Cao Gang's hidden strongholds, he really wants to kill them all, and he will not let any of them go.
There is a belief in killing everything, and it occupies absolute strength and has the upper hand, once Xia Nan has a decision, the action he can make is really quite large.
It is definitely not so easy to uproot the Cao Gang and kill them all, but it is not easy to take over the mess of the Cao Gang.
Why can the Cao Gang become the largest water gang in the world, its own strength is extremely strong, and it can reach a relatively high level, not only the strength of the Cao Gang is very strong, but also reflected in the background.
From what aspect can it be shown that it is not under normal circumstances, it can be shown, the Cao Gang can exist for hundreds of years, and it has always existed when the Ming Dynasty was in power, and it has not changed for hundreds of years, which makes sense.
The Cao Gang is a gang that is free from the rivers and lakes and the court, and its operation in the rivers and lakes is a pervasive way to penetrate and has some face.
And the Cao Gang also has a very close relationship with the imperial court, especially the imperial court officials on the canal line, and the Cao Gang has long had a good relationship with them.
Why is the canal important, in addition to being a traffic artery, it is also related to the transportation of the imperial court, so it is very important, not only important, but also extremely important.
The territory of the Ming Kingdom is too big, it is really big, under such a huge territory, the places where you can grow food are different after all, and it is impossible for all places to be the same.
In the Ming Kingdom, the land in the south is more fertile, and the grain that can be grown must be more, and you can get more time, while the north is slightly worse, so the grain from the south is often mobilized to the north.
The canal is an extremely important transportation artery, which can transport grain from the south, which is very important, if the canal is cut off, it will cause turmoil for the Ming Kingdom.
In such a situation, the canal is still more important, the Hanyang Gang and the Cao Gang fought on the canal, and the fight was really fierce, but for the Ming Kingdom, it may not be a good thing.
If you want to control the main route of transportation, help the imperial court transport materials, and benefit from it, it is not a simple matter, you need to get through the relationship between the top and bottom, and this relationship is the essence of the Cao Gang.
Defeating the Cao Gang can uproot the power of the Cao Gang and deal a very serious blow, but it is really not so easy to receive the power of the Cao Gang.
It is really not an easy thing to control the upper and lower passages of the canal, and the upper and lower passages mastered by the Cao Gang, the Hanyang Gang has no choice, and it is not at the same level at all.
It is really not an easy thing to get in touch with all the relationships of the Cao Gang in a short period of time, and the Cao Gang does not know how much money they have sent to those officials in order to maintain this relationship.
If the Hanyang Gang wants to take it over, it is really not an easy thing, and if you want to open the joint again, you want to hand out a lot of money, and even if you send money, it may not be able to be sent to the idea, and it may not be able to achieve good results.
In this case, if the Hanyang Gang wants to take the canal and hold it in their hands, it is not possible to do it for a while, and it may take a long time to take root and operate.
Therefore, it is not so easy to defeat the Cao Gang at once, Xia Nan and the Hanyang Gang did it, but it is not so easy to completely master the canal.
If you want to completely master the canal, it is indeed not an easy task, it is very difficult to do, Cao Gang is hundreds of years of operation, can be as stable as Mount Tai.
If the Hanyang Gang comes, there will be officials from the imperial court to obstruct it at any pass along the way, and I am afraid it will be a blow to the Hanyang Gang.
In terms of official affairs, the Hanyang Gang, as a gang, must not have much way, but Xia Nan has a way.
What kind of person is Xia Nan, it came out of the palace, he is still a little level, or a little related, when he left, Emperor Jingping had already given him a back hand, and he could carry out a certain organization.
Officially, I am most afraid that I can't find a relationship, and I am most afraid that there is no place to stuff money if I want to, as long as someone helps to introduce it, you can find a relationship, and everything is much easier.
Xia Nan's identity is actually not easy to say clearly, and it is not easy to reveal it clearly, but it is still no problem to use it to pull a relationship.
After finding a relationship, the process of the Hanyang Gang controlling the canal is much easier, and they can work up and down to open up all the court officials on the canal.
Of course, although he found a relationship, it is indeed not an easy task to open up all the officials up and down the canal, and it will take a certain amount of time, and Xia Nan is ready to spend several years to complete this thing.
The Hanyang Gang and the Cao Gang have joined forces, not only affecting the two gangs, but also the entire green forest world or the entire rivers and lakes, which will have a great impact.
Once, the Cao Gang was the largest water gang in the world, but now, the Cao Gang was killed by the Hanyang Gang, and the Hanyang Gang naturally became the first water gang in the world.
The strength of the Hanyang Gang is already extremely strong, it has been strong to a certain point, in a year of war, it has controlled the entire Han River Basin, and now, it has defeated the Cao Gang, controlled the canal, and the two major waters in the territory of the Ming Kingdom have been controlled by the Hanyang Gang.
In the battle with the Cao Gang, the Hanyang Gang did win, burning the Cao Gang's 80,000 army, killing and killing, and surrendering, and the blow to the Cao Gang's 80,000 army can be imagined.
But for war, it is often a thousand enemies killed and eight hundred self-losses, this war, although Xia Nan and the Hanyang Gang won the victory and got a great gain, but the payment was not small.
The strength of the Hanyang Gang, in this battle, has been even more powerful, after all, the Cao Gang's 80,000 army has reduced the Hanyang Gang's more than 20,000 people.
Moreover, the total number of the Cao Gang is more than 80,000, even if they are young and strong with combat effectiveness, in addition to these 80,000 people, there are still 20,000 people, and there are many old, weak, sick and disabled.
In that kind of large-scale battle, although Xia Nan used all kinds of means to make the Hanyang Gang win, in that battle, the 50,000 troops of the Hanyang Gang also lost a lot, with thousands of casualties.
Thousands of casualties are not small, and such a large casualty is really extremely large for the odds of a 50,000-strong army.
Thousands of casualties are already a large proportion for an army of 50,000, and when the ancient army marched and fought, when the two sides fought, if the battle loss rate reached a standard above, it was not a good thing.
In a fierce battle, the losses of the Hanyang Gang were extremely large, really large, thousands of casualties, which was not small, but the next attack on some strongholds of the Cao Gang, the losses of the Hanyang Gang were not small.
I have to say that the Cao Gang can be inherited for hundreds of years, and it is indeed not so easy to deal with, even if there is a little bit of living force left, it will be against the Hanyang Gang.
In a gang, or among a powerful force, when this force is about to fall, there will be a group of martyrs, and the number of martyrs depends on how unpopular this force is.
It is really good that the Cao Gang can exist for hundreds of years in the Ming Kingdom, and after hundreds of years of operation, there will be their own people in all aspects.
After hundreds of years of operation, the Cao Gang has been operating like an iron bucket in the canal, which is really very good, and there are still many people who are very confident in the Cao Gang and have attachments.
Therefore, when the Hanyang Gang made a move, knew the strongholds and hidden strongholds of the Cao Gang, and wanted to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, the counterattack received was still relatively serious.
In this kind of purging and counterattack, the people who are loyal to the Cao Gang have dealt a considerable blow to the Hanyang Gang, and many of the Hanyang Gang's gangs have indeed died because of this.
