Chapter 12: The Remnant Sun on the Battlefield Is Red as Blood, and the White Bones Dew the Wilderness (Part II)

A year and a half later, the capital of Nanyang, Chang'an City.

Due to the invasion of the Northern Liang Kingdom, the entire imperial court was panicked, and tens of millions of people in Chang'an City were also busy hoarding daily necessities, the price of oil and rice soared, and the whole country was shrouded in the shadow of war.

On the twenty-fourth day of June, Jizhou was broken, and Emperor Nanyang urgently dispatched 200,000 troops to block it. The battle lasted for more than 20 days, until the 6th day of the first month of July, when the battle report came from the front line, and the 200,000-strong army was wiped out, and no one survived.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the Nanyang Emperor drove the expedition in person, and ordered the Nanyang National Youth Force to immediately fill the army, and 20 million young people were arrested to fill the army. Suddenly, the people of the whole country complained bitterly, tens of thousands of young people fled from their families and fled into the mountains, but the remaining millions of young adults did not have time to escape, some of the volunteers who joined the army were fine, and the rest of those who did not want to join the army were arrested and put in prison by the government on various trumped-up charges, and they were dragged to the army after being convicted of the last crime, and how can these "soldiers" who have not been systematically trained at all be compared with the Northern Liang army that has been trained day and night? In addition, Yin Zhongxin, the general of the Northern Liang, sent hundreds of young people who had been trained and were good at controlling public opinion to infiltrate the Nanyang army, and the conspiracy and yang conspiracy were used together, which not only obtained Nanyang's battle plan, but also greatly shook the military heart of Nanyang's army formed with the strength of the whole country.

On 18 December, the two armies began to confront each other at Kunshan.

On the twenty-second day of December, more than 30,000 people in the Nanyang army had defected to the Northern Liang army, and the Northern Liang army did not refuse to come, and these soldiers were escorted to Linzi, the capital of the Northern Liang State, and allocated at least half an acre of yards and houses.

Under this combination of grace and power, on December 30, the two armies began to engage in large-scale confrontation and friction, with 500,000 infantry troops in the center of the Northern Liang and 100,000 cavalry on both wings, a total of 700,000 troops, like iron swords.

A loud and energetic horn sounded, and the army in the Nanyang military camp was dispatched, and the black all over the mountains and fields was like a pine forest, and the formation seemed to be roughly the same as the army of Beiliang. These are two armies that can compete in strength, but they have very different styles. Not to mention that the soldiers of the Nanyang Army each held a broad-bodied long sword, while the Northern Liang Army each held a Malaycles curved sword (usually only 30-40 cm in length, the sword body was rough, but the blade was extremely sharp. The forging process of this sword is the "sheet punching method", that is, three pieces of steel are sandwiched with two pieces of meteoric iron, and by combining ferroalloys with different carbon contents, the forged blade body is a uniform structure of martensitic and pearlite, and at the same time ensures toughness and hardness. After the cutter body is forged, it is repeatedly folded and forged. There are as many as 600 layers of sandwich steel on the blade, which requires more than 500 hammer forgings into the fire to complete. After the above process is completed, the folded and forged pattern is made more obvious by pickling. At the same time, the sword body is quenched with poison or spices, which is extremely poisonous and fragrant. The sword is covered with tiny holes that allow poisons or spices to remain for hundreds of years. Because the blade is poisonous, the blood seals the throat, and the skin is cut to death, which can be said to be the sword light and there is no living person everywhere), and the cavalry on both wings is armed with their own skillful weapons.

Suddenly, Nanyang military drums and horns sounded, and the flag hunted in the wind. The cavalry on both flanks of the Northern Liang Army took the lead, while the soldiers of the Chinese Army marched forward in a neat pace, slowly advancing, shouting "kill" every three steps, and they were calmly rumbling forward, as if announcing their death to the Nanyang Army.

At the same time, the sound of horns shook the valley like the howl of ghosts and wolves, the cavalry on both wings roared to meet the attack, and the hoplites also strode forward unstoppably, and suddenly rolled flat like a black wave.

At last, two armies of tens of thousands of people collided like a sea of mountains, and the sound was like a rumbling thunder resounding through the valley, and it was like thousands of angry waves crashing against the mountains. Swords and scimitars staggered and danced, spears and spears whizzed by, flying in all directions, and a dense rain of arrows flew through the air like locusts passing through, and the dull shouts and short roars made people tremble after listening to them.

These are two powerful iron armies, both of which have a brilliant record of winning and undefeated, and both have the courage to die generously. Although the Nanyang army was in turmoil, the original veterans in the army still fought bravely and fought against the enemy. Every soldier was brave enough to rush to the battlefield. Hideous faces, bloody swords, low howls, puffs of smoke and dust, the entire valley was enveloped in the tragic aura of this primordial battle......

The war, but it still goes on.

Loud hoarse shouts and screams hit people's eardrums. The sturdy figures of the soldiers of the Northern Liang Army rose and fell like waves, and their mouths let out a shout that shook the heavens and the earth. Arrows flew wildly in the air, dragging a long rain of arrows through the clear sky like locusts crossing the border, and soldiers continued to fall to the ground with arrows. The terrible screams, the frenzied killings, and the blazing beacon fire made the soldiers of the two armies even more angry.

The battle lasted for six days, and finally ended with the victory of the Northern Liang army, the whole valley was full of corpses and blood, dead corpses were lying on the ground, blood stained the earth, but no one stepped forward to clean up, the thick smell of blood and sweat mixed with each other, filled the air, pungent and unpleasant.

After this battle, the Northern Liang army suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, all the living forces in Nanyang have been wiped out in this battle, and the next road, the Northern Liang State only needs to rely on the previous "inertia" and persist in going, and the whole world can be taken into account.

After Qiu Yi and his entourage learned that the Yanmen Pass was broken, she listened to the strategy of the subdued strategist Shu Jianchen, that is, the old gentleman who told the story, and began to win the hearts of her subordinates, vigorously develop the agricultural economy, and completely replace the original slash-and-burn farming technology with ox ploughing and iron tools to plough the land, which greatly improved the production efficiency and output of agricultural products. Then, according to the history of his previous life, he began to gradually implement a policy of "redemption" for the traders, slowly taking their property into public ownership, and then implemented the policy of separate operation and self-responsibility in the countryside and the city at the same time, and after these drastic reforms, the handicraft industry arose. In the end, Nanping County declared independence half a year after the Battle of Kunshan Mountain, and was known as the Yu State in history, and the original county lord Qiu Yi was called the King of Yu.
