Chapter 178: The Elves Come to Help
Seeing Lin Ruofeng coming, Ye Lingyan said to Lin Ruofeng with a heavy heart: "Ruofeng, our operation this time is still quite risky, now the Rakshasa Kingdom has gathered an army of 8 million, and the combat troops in it are about 5 million, plus 5 million orcs, our pressure this time is indeed very terrifying, and the purpose of their coming this time is to completely encircle and suppress our more than 2.7 million expeditionary forces." The two million cavalry vanguard of the Rakshasa are already less than 3,000 miles away from Bulgan City, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach our Bulgan City in five days!"
Lin Ruofeng nodded, indicating that he knew the situation, but Lin Ruofeng knew that the information in his hand was more urgent, and hurriedly said to Ye Lingyan: "Dashuai, let's not talk about this matter first, now there is an urgent report from the capital, and the Japanese state sent five million troops to attack Goguryeo, breaking the million-strong army of Goguryeo, and connecting the three fortified cities of Goguryeo, the envoy of Goguryeo has arrived in Xuzhou, and my father wants us to come up with an idea." β
Ye Lingyan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly took the letter from Lin Ruofeng's hand, and looked at it carefully, this situation was simply adding fuel to the fire for Da Zhao's erosive situation!
The letter is not long, but Ye Lingyan has been reading it for a long time, as if he wants to parse every word in it, the five million army of the Japanese State is attacking Goguryeo, hehe, Ye Lingyan smiled bitterly, it seems that it is not only the alliance of the three kingdoms and one clan, this is clearly the war of the four countries and one clan to destroy the country against Dazhao!
Lin Ruofeng looked at Ye Lingyan and asked softly, "Dashuai, then what should we do?"
Ye Lingyan waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion in Bulgan City first, this news can't be leaked lightly at the moment." When the time comes, it will have a great impact on the morale of our expeditionary force. β
Lin Ruofeng nodded thoughtfully. and the heavy mood of the night Ling Yan went to the city lord's mansion.
After entering the war room. Ye Ling Yan came to the big map on the wall, it was a global map of the world, Ye Ling Yan groaned for a while, picked up a pencil given to him by Lin Ruofeng, and was in the Rakshasa Capital, the Great Food Country Capital, the Persian Capital, and the Orc Gathering Place. And the capital of the Wa Kingdom drew a big cross, and from this fork led out a solid line or dashed line with arrows, Rakshasa to Burgan City, Da Shi Guo to Yumen Pass, Persia to Da Shi Guo and then to Yumen Pass, Orcs to Burgan City, Wa Guo to Goguryeo and then to the northeast of Da Zhao, the whole map was drawn beyond recognition by Ye Ling, but it was a clear expression of the current situation on the map.
Ye Ling Yan thought for a while, and marked the time under each article: Rakshasa to Bulgan City (cavalry) 4 days - 5 days. (Infantry) 20-25 days; 15-20 days for the Orcs to reach Bulgan; the vanguard of the Great Food Country has arrived at Yumen Pass, and the first batch of infantry has taken 5-6 days. It took 80 to 100 days for the whole army, 280 to 320 days for the Persian army to reach Yumen Pass, and the Wa State had already reached Goguryeo, and if there were no reinforcements from Dazhao, it would take at least two years to reach the northeast of Dazhao based on the comparison of the military strength of the Wa State and Goguryeo.
Lin Ruofeng looked at the current situation map of Dazhao drawn out by Ye Lingxuan, although it is a clan of four countries, but in fact, it is at least a three-line battle, Liangzhou in the northwest, Goguryeo in the northeast, and Bulgan City in the back, among them, Dazhao has the strongest military strength in the north, almost 80% of the combat effectiveness of Dazhao is gathered, and the northwest is the weakest, with only 800,000 combat troops, but there are natural dangers in Yumen Pass and Jiayuguan, and it is difficult for the enemy army in the northwest to exert numerical superiority, and there is no danger in the northeast, and the combat troops are only about 1.2 million, but there is also Goguryeo as an ally.
Among the enemies, there is no doubt that the Wa Kingdom in the northeast is the weakest, the Great Food Kingdom and the Persian State in the northwest are the strongest, and the Rakshasa and Orcs in the north are second only to the Northwest, but fortunately, the Orcs were weakened a year ago, and these expeditionary forces made the Rakshasa lose more than 4 million combat troops.
Ye Lingyan paced while looking at the map, feeling that one head was two big, and Lin Ruofeng also felt that it was difficult to be optimistic.
Ye Lingyan suddenly said to Lin Ruofeng, "What do you think of Ruofeng?"
Lin Ruofeng paused for a moment before he said, "What does the big marshal mean are we going to rescue Goguryeo?" Da Zhao is now in a lot of holes, and it seems that the words to rescue Goguryeo are indeed a bit beyond the reach of the whip, and the words of the Wa Kingdom to solve Goguryeo for two years are very fast, after all, although Goguryeo is weak, it is not a vegetarian, 5 million combat troops, 3 million standing local troops, plus a vast territory equivalent to the size of Lin Ruofeng's previous life in the time and space of Huaxia, it is not something that the Wa Kingdom can eat in a short time, but Lin Ruofeng always feels that this will cause great harm to Da Zhao.
Ye Ling shook his head undeniably, " Goguryeo must be rescued, not to mention that Goguryeo is a nominal vassal of our Great Zhao, and if it is not saved, it will cause dissatisfaction and centrifugation of the three vassal states of Tubo, Ryukyu and Jiaozhi (part of Southeast Asia in the former time and space, and almost all of them were vassal states of China in the history of the former time and space), which makes the internal instability of the Great Zhao even more unstableγ β
Lin Ruofeng agreed, Goguryeo was not a hardcore ally of Da Zhao in the first place, but was just attached to Da Zhao, and if it came to the point of life and death, it was definitely possible for these champions to bite Da Zhao back. "What does the commander mean by how many troops should we send to support Goguryeo?"
Ye Ling Yan glanced at Lin Ruofeng approvingly, and looking at the blazing sun outside, Ye Ling Yan said: " We now have a total of 1,200,000 combat troops in the northeast region, of which 500,000 are the Dujia army left by the old general Du Lin; there are 2 million frontier troops in the west and south of Dazhao; 800,000 troops in Liangzhou in the northwest; 7.5 million frontier troops, 2 million Rouran iron cavalry, and 500,000 cavalry of the Praetorian Guard in the northern part of Dazhao; 500,000 Dujia troops (cavalry), 1.1 million Janissary infantry, and 100,000 Imperial Forest Army (third-order elite) in the Beijing garrison army. There were also 500,000 cavalry at the Rouran garrison. β
Ye Lingyan paused, frowned and said, " But in this way, no matter where the combat troops can not be transferred, needless to say in the capital, the 1.7 million army is already a little dangerous, not to mention Liangzhou, it is also necessary to transfer troops from other places, the northern Xinjiang is now fighting with the Rakshasas, and at the same time shouldering the support task of guarding Yumen Pass, Jiayu Pass and Tianluo Pass, it is also impossible to move lightly, and the Northeast cannot all believe in Goguryeo, if all are transferred to Goguryeo, if Goguryeo has two hearts, then the Northeast is in danger, and the entire Great Zhao is almost undefended against themγ β
Lin Ruofeng suddenly said: "Then do you want to consider mobilizing local troops to fight in Goguryeo?"
Ye Lingyan's eyes lit up, and he bowed slightly, "It's not impossible, so our pressure is indeed much smaller, but the proportion of local troops can't be too large, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Wa State is not weak, and if you lose on the battlefield of Goguryeo at that time, you will not only lose Goguryeo quickly, but also make other vassal states lose confidence in Dazhao." β
Just when Lin Ruofeng and Ye Lingyan were worrying about how many troops to send to support Goguryeo, Ye Lingyan's herald suddenly came in to report that the Xiao cavalry army was asking for a meeting.
Lin Ruofeng and Ye Lingyan glanced at each other, and they both had some ominous premonitions in their hearts, and now the two of them were a little scared of publicity, and every time they came, it would give them a lot of trouble.
"My subordinates have seen the marshal and the general!"
"Get up, if you have any information, tell me quickly. β
Zhang Yang saw Lin Ruofeng nodding at him, and then said with some joy: "Report to the commander, there is a great news from the Heavenly Wolf Pass!"
Great news, Lin Ruofeng and Ye Lingyan glanced at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, Lin Ruofeng hurriedly asked, "What good news?"
Zhang Yang didn't dare to sell Guanzi in front of the two big guys, and hurriedly said: "There is news from the Heavenly Wolf Pass, the former envoy sent by the elf clan, Lailia, came to the Heavenly Wolf Pass, saying that the reinforcements of the elf clan have arrived in Gyeongju, and the number of reinforcements to support our Dazhao this time is 1.5 million!"
"1.5 million! Are you sure?!" Ye Lingyan took a step forward and asked Zhang Yang incredulously, the 1.5 million of this elf clan is not the 1.5 million of the Great Zhao Border Army, you know, the average combat power of the elf clan army is the fourth order!!, and it is also the high-level archer and mage that Great Zhao lacks the most, which is at least equivalent to 4 million Rouran Iron Cavalry, 8 million Great Zhao border guards, or 15 million Great Zhao local troops! The surprise came too quickly, and the fast night Ling Yan felt like a dream, and he couldn't believe that this was true, Ye Ling Yan had already been prepared for the elf clan to stand by and watch.
Zhang Yang said affirmatively: "Dashuai, this is true, the reinforcements of the elf clan to support our Da Zhao this time are 600,000 elf archers and 900,000 elf mages, and it is led by the elf queen herself, this is what the elf clan's Houtu elder Lalia said personally!"
Ye Lingyan said a little distractedly: "If my guess is right, the elven clan has a total of less than 1.8 million combat power, and sent a 1.5 million elven legion, then the elven clan still has about 300,000 combat power left, do their elves really dare to gamble like this, if they lose, then the elven clan will really collapse!"
Zhang Yang didn't know why the elven clan had made up such a big determination, so he could only say: "This subordinate doesn't know, Elder Lalia only said the number and progress of their reinforcements, and didn't tell us why they believe in us so much." β
Ye Lingyan took a deep breath, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Okay! Okay! This is also the best news that Ben Shuai has heard in the past few months, with the help of the elves clan, our chances of winning this time will definitely triple!" (To be continued......)
