Chapter 347: A Torrent of Steel
Li Kuan's heart is big!
I want to swallow the entire comprehensive martial arts plane in one go!
Therefore, after the dispatch of this million army, it did not go in one direction.
Instead, it was divided into four parts: 800,000 army forces were moving from the land in two directions, south and north, 150,000 navy troops were divided into two routes, assisting the large forces from the coastal zone to attack these two directions, and 50,000 air forces were ready to provide air fire support at any time.
Well, the Northern Song Dynasty of the Zongwu plane, which is now the territory of the Great Chu Empire, is located in the easternmost part of the continent, adjacent to many small countries, as well as the Southern Song Dynasty in the south and the Great Yuan in the north.
As for the Great Sui, Daqing, and Daming, they are further away.
Based on this, Li Kuan's army went in these two directions first.
As for why those small countries don't go...
The reason why small countries can survive in the cracks of big countries has their own reasons.
Chief among them is the rugged terrain.
And this is exactly what the Great Chu Empire is currently more difficult for.
Although in terms of combat power, the army of the Great Chu Empire is far stronger than all the armies of this plane, but under the premise that the terrain is rugged and cannot be reached, the combat power cannot be exerted.
So!
Li Kuan was ready to give up these small countries first, first take down all the big countries with better roads, and then slowly clean up these small countries.
Of course!
If there is a small country that is right on the path of his army's advance, and if there is a small country with good terrain, he doesn't mind taking it first!
And coincidentally, in this comprehensive military plane, the two countries of Liao and Jin are such countries!
In the original history, these two countries were mortal enemies.
The Liao State was destroyed by the Jin State, and the Jin State inherited the legacy of the Liao State.
And in the comprehensive military plane, the relationship between the two countries is not good, the Jin State is the leader of the Jurchen tribe, Wanyan Aguta, after gathering all the Jurchen tribes, and tearing off a large piece of territory from the Liao State before it was established.
Originally, Liao was one of the big countries in this plane, but after such a while, it changed from a big country to a small country.
Therefore, the two countries have formed a mortal enmity, and they fight each other almost every year!
The geographical location of the two countries of Jin and Liao in this plane happened to be adjacent to the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty.
Among them, the Jin State relied more on the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Liao State relied more on the Northern Song Dynasty.
The two countries are one of the roads that are common to both the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Well, the two countries are in the middle of the North and South and the North and the South, but not completely in the middle, just in the middle of the western margin, and there are other roads between the North and the South that can be figured out, or even closer.
However, Li Kuan insisted on the right way, and the terrain of these two countries was relatively flat, which was more suitable for marching than other roads, so after discussing with Xue Rengui and the staff officers of the General Staff, he decided to pass between these two countries.
Well, while passing by, these two countries naturally have to be cleaned up by the way!
---
Yanmen Pass!
After more than a month of marching, the Great Chu Empire was responsible for attacking the Southern Song Dynasty, including the 400,000 elite troops of the Great Chu Empire, as well as 250,000 native troops in the comprehensive military plane, a total of 650,000 troops, and the 200,000 civilians mobilized by Li Kuan to assist the army in logistics and transportation, and slowly arrived here!
Well, although the 650,000 army has cars, after all, the scale is too large, and the road conditions in the Northern Song Dynasty are not too good, and the army has to stop from time to time to repair the road, so it took more than a month to march!
After coming to Yanmen Pass, the army did not stop, and went straight to the border pass of Liao.
Geographically, the location of Yanmen Pass is not the same as in history, but coincidentally, in the Zongwu plane, the junction between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State is still Yanmen Pass!
And Yanmen Pass is more than ten miles away, and there is a border pass of Liao!
As a border pass between Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao State garrisoned an army of 50,000 here all year round.
However, because the Liao State has always had the upper hand with the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State have also made the "Lanyuan Alliance", which is a shameful agreement, there has been no war for a long time.
Therefore, the 50,000 army of Liao State is not an elite, but an ordinary soldier, with average equipment and weapons, and even the behavior and discipline of these soldiers are very loose.
Of course!
No matter what the army is here, for Li Kuan and for the Great Chu Empire, it is no different!
Anyway, it's a situation that can be crushed.
Liaoguo border pass!
"Boom!"
A cacophony of voices came from far and near.
"What's the situation!?"
A soldier in charge of garrisoning, when he was drowsy, suddenly felt a slight tremor on the ground.
Immediately, he came to his senses as soon as he was excited.
He thought there was an earthquake.
"That's... That... What is that!? ”
But then, with the corner of his eye, he saw the horizon, and when a green line appeared, he shouted out in disbelief.
"What?"
"There's a green line in the sky?"
"It's not a thread, it's a human !!"
"Many, many!"
"It's not good, it's an enemy attack!!
...
After a period of panic, the soldiers stationed there, as well as the soldiers around him, realized that there was an enemy.
Well, although the other party hasn't launched an attack yet, but so many people are coming over in a rage, is it possible that they are still here for sightseeing?
And with their discovery, the soldiers at the border of the entire Liao State suddenly hurriedly prepared.
Meantime!
"Enemy attack? What's the situation? ”
There was a hint of redness on his face, and his eyes were slightly blurred, obviously the Liao border guard who had drunk wine, and it was only late.
"Report to the general, the Northern Song Dynasty... Ah no, there is a strange-looking army hanging the banner of the Great Chu Empire in the direction of the Great Chu Empire now! A soldier reported.
Great Chu Empire?
Army!?
When the guard heard the news, he suddenly sobered up from his drunkenness.
Could it be that the Great Chu Empire wants to attack my Liao State?
After such a thought flashed through his mind, as he woke up from his drunkenness, a look of disdain appeared on the guard's face again.
He had not been in contact with the army of the Great Chu Empire, but he felt that the Great Chu Empire should be similar to the wastes of the Northern Song Dynasty.
After all, the Great Chu Empire was built on top of the Northern Song Dynasty.
As long as the celestial man of the Great Chu Empire, that is, Li Kuan, did not come, he was fearless.
"Don't panic, it's just a group of Song people, think about it, the Song people were weak and couldn't help it, if it wasn't for the money they contributed to us every year, it would have been gone for a long time since the Northern Song Dynasty!" The guard waved his hand and said confidently.
"Yes, the Song people are all weak and can't help it!"
"But I heard that their emperor is a celestial!?"
"But it's not the emperor who came today, if it's the emperor, it's definitely not the banner that is hanging!"
"Yes!"
"If those Song people dare to come over, I must let them see how good we are!"
...
Following the previous custom, the guards and garrisons of the Liao State were also called by the Song people for the Great Chu Empire.
And in the same way, because of the weak impression left on them by the Northern Song Dynasty, they felt that the army of the Great Chu Empire had nothing.
However!
This time, they were wrong!
What a mistake!
"Boom !!"
Before the army of the Great Chu Empire arrived, a small-yield missile flew from afar and directly hit the border pass, causing a small mushroom cloud to rise at the border pass of the Liao State.
At the same time, the city wall of the border pass of the Liao State collapsed directly, and together with the garrisons and guards on it, as well as all the surrounding buildings and people, completely disappeared into this world.
Forthwith!
"Rush, !!"
"Kill, !!"
"Tank Charge !!"
...
The 400,000 elite army from the Great Chu Empire, in the way of infantry coordination, formed a torrent of steel, and rushed straight to the border pass where there was no city wall.
Half-hour!
It only took half an hour!
Under the sweep of the steel torrent, the 50,000 Liao troops were all wiped out, and the border passes of the Liao State changed hands, completely becoming the Great Chu Empire.
