Chapter 220: Pacifying the Southwest Border

This time, in addition to the 300,000 regular soldiers, Ye Tianlong's army only had more than 200,000 militiamen, after all, most of the militia had to stay in the Zhongxiang territory that had just been recovered to maintain law and order, and at the same time to guard against the invasion of Vietnam and Dali.

And after Ye Tianlong sent his troops, the first choice to attack the other party was Dali, but with Ye Tianlong's march, the army of Dali had not yet seen it, but first bumped into an army of Southwest Yi.

When Ye Tianlong found this southwest Yi army, this Yi army of tens of thousands of people was excitedly burning and looting in a county town.

"Quick! Go in and save people! ”

After seeing this situation, Ye Tianlong immediately sent his soldiers to rush into the county to defeat those Yi people and save the people in the county.

Not to mention that the equipment of these Southwest Yi is not compared with the regular army such as the Jin soldiers and the Western Xia soldiers, and it is not even comparable to the rebel armies such as the Shangla Army and the Zhong Xiangjun, most of the Yi soldiers do not even have a piece of leather armor and cloth armor, they simply hold the upper body, and most of the weapons are only a wooden spear, or even just a very rough wooden stick.

However, although the equipment of these Yi soldiers is poor, they have a ferocious spirit that they grew up in the deep mountains and old forests, and those Song soldiers with the same poor equipment after the real fight are not their opponents at all.

For example, in this county town, the defenders in the city resisted and were captured by those Yi people in less than a day. Fortunately, Ye Tianlong led the army to arrive in time at this time.

Facing the attack of the Blue Dragon Empire's army, these Yi people also launched several waves of fierce counterattacks, but their equipment was too poor, and just a few rounds of arrow rain made these Yi people suffer heavy losses.

Only half an hour later, more than 10,000 Nanyi in this city were cleaned up by the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire, most of them were killed on the spot, and more than 3,000 were captured.

Through questioning these captives, Ye Tianlong learned that these Southwest Yi were instigated by the Dali people.

Originally, these southwestern Yi did not dare to go deep into the interior to attack and plunder the Han towns, but those Dali people used their own army of more than 200,000 as forts, indicating that this army would become their strong backing.

Once the elite army of the Han people was provoked in the process of attacking those Han cities, the army of more than 200,000 troops of Dali would rush to support them.

And as the price of letting the army of Dali as a backing, the money and people obtained by the Southwest Yi looting need to be handed over to Dali State, and those cities that have been laid down have to be taken over by Dali State.

With the backing of the army of Dali, these southwestern Yi dared to send troops to attack the city of the Han people.

After Ye Tianlong listened to the explanations of those Yi captives, he immediately saw that these Yi people were used as guns by Dali! But these stupid people still think they have taken advantage of it.

In addition, Ye Tianlong also learned that the current Dali country, the real mastermind is not the emperor Duan Heyu, but the Gao family, this Gao family can be said to be the real power family of Dali, even who can be the emperor, have asked the Gao family's opinion, and even once there was a person named Gao Shengtai, who also served as the emperor for two years, and changed the name of the country to 'Great China', now although the people of the Gao family abide by Gao Shengtai's testament and return to the Duan family, but the power in Dali is still greater than the emperor.

This invasion of the Central Plains was the idea of the Gao family, although Duan Heyu wanted to stop it, but unfortunately he could not resist the Gao family, which had deep roots in Dali, and could only watch all this happen.

Speaking of which, this Duan Heyu is also the prototype of Duan Yu in the martial arts novel "Dragon Babu"! I just don't know if he in the virtual world of this game will be able to use the Six-Vein Divine Sword and the Northern Spiritual Skill.

After figuring out the situation in Dali, Ye Tianlong led the army and began to continue to advance, and on the way, he successively defeated several Southwest Yi troops.

But the Dali army, which promised that the Southwest Yi would be their strong backing, never appeared, and even according to their exploration over time, the army of the Dali State was still withdrawing into the country.

The army of the Dali Kingdom has grabbed a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, and young people during this time, and Ye Tianlong will not let them run away like this.

So he immediately asked Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and Sun An to lead 30,000 heavy cavalry and 50,000 light cavalry to catch up with the Dali army, and then entangle each other, waiting for the main army to arrive before completely annihilating it.

Although Ye Tianlong's order said so, Lin Chong and the others all felt that with more than 80,000 cavalry, it was completely enough to defeat the army of this Dali country, after all, the military strength of this Dali country has always been not strong, otherwise there would be no need to use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to secretly seize the territory of the Song Dynasty, and they would have led their troops directly to fight over.

Relying on the high mobility of the cavalry, Lin Chong and the others only took about three days to catch up with the army of Dali, and then hid their troops in a forest for half a day to rest, and then launched a surprise attack when the army of Dali was marching.

The soldiers of Dali Kingdom obviously didn't expect that they would all slip away for a while, and the troops of the Blue Dragon Empire would be able to catch up so quickly. Therefore, in the face of the cavalry raid led by Lin Chong, they were completely defenseless, and the team was directly broken by the heavy cavalry and cut into several pieces.

Then Lin Chong sent the 50,000 light cavalry to the battlefield, and began to eliminate the divided enemy troops one by one, in the case of being divided, the Dali army could not support each other, but Lin Chong They could rely on the high mobility of the cavalry to quickly gather troops, and most of the time they were able to occupy the advantage of strength on the local battlefield, plus they were all cavalry, that was really to kill those Dali soldiers without the power to fight back.

After more than two hours of fighting, most of the more than 200,000 Dali troops were directly killed, and 70,000 or 80,000 were taken prisoner, and less than 10,000 escaped. The casualties on the side of the Blue Dragon Empire were less than a hundred, which can be called a classic example of winning more with less.

And Lin Chong and the others also captured Gao Liangcheng, the culprit who planned to launch the invasion.

When Ye Tianlong arrived with the main army three days later, he was also surprised to learn that Lin Chong and the others had actually annihilated the Dali army. And later, after learning that the casualties in this battle were not large, Ye Tianlong did not continue to pursue the matter of Lin Chong and the others not obeying the military orders, after all, the generals are outside, and the military orders are not subject to them, as a qualified general, he has the right to make his own decisions in accordance with the actual situation in the battle, and he does not have to follow the orders of his superiors in everything.

As for Gao Liangcheng, who was captured alive, Ye Tianlong was ready to take him back and behead him to show the public, in order to comfort those compatriots who died in this war.

At the same time, Ye Tianlong also sent an envoy to Yangtho City, the capital of Dali State, to discuss the compensation with Duan Heyu, the emperor of Dali State.

After all, this time it was Dali who took the initiative to invade his Qinglong Empire and was defeated, so naturally he had to give some blood to calm his anger.

And Ye Tianlong's conditions for Duan Heyu can be said to be very harsh, first of all, he wants Duan Heyu to go to the emperor's name, and then demote to the king of the county, and to recognize the Qinglong Empire as his father, and pay the Qinglong Empire every year, considering that Dali is a small country and does not have much money, so Ye Tianlong's price for him is 200,000 taels of silver per year. If the cash is not enough, you can also pay with various specialties and grains of Dali. In order to ensure that Dali will pay money obediently every year, the Qinglong Empire will also station 20,000 troops next to Yangtho City, the capital of Dali Kingdom, as a surveillance.

With such excessive conditions, Duan Heyu was so angry that he wanted to scold after seeing it for the first time, but he soon forcibly calmed himself down, because at this time, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Blue Dragon Empire were waiting for his reply on the border! If he dared to say a word, he had no doubt that the emperor of the Blue Dragon Empire would directly lead his army to Yang Tho Baa City to reason with him personally.

So, in the end, Duan Heyu could only personally sign this humiliating armistice treaty, and since then, Duan Heyu, the very capable emperor in the history of Dali, has completely fallen into decadence, hiding in the palace all day long to drink to kill his sorrows, and no longer pay attention to the government.

Ye Tianlong naturally didn't know about the following things, after he sent Wang Qing and Tian Hu to lead 20,000 soldiers under their original command to enter Dali, he once again led the army to kill in the direction of the Vietnamese invasion army.

Compared with the weak Dali army, Vietnam's army is stronger in combat effectiveness, but it is not much stronger, at most it is about the same as the combat effectiveness of the Han soldiers in the north under the command of the Jin people.

And those Han soldiers in the north were casually beaten by Shi Wengong with an army of 50,000, Ye Tianlong felt that he now had more troops under his command, and it should not be difficult to deal with this Vietnamese.

To Ye Tianlong's surprise, this Vietnamese may have been confident in beating those Song soldiers before, and after learning that he led the army to kill, not only did he not retreat immediately like the army of Dali, but took the initiative to meet him, wanting to wrestle with him.

For the other party's request, Ye Tianlong naturally had to meet it, and this morning, the armies of the two sides set up a formation on an open plain and launched a decisive battle.

This battle lasted for more than three hours, and Ye Tianlong didn't release any water, so the 230,000 Vietnamese army, 180,000 were killed on the spot by the soldiers under his command, and the remaining 50,000 were taken prisoner.

After defeating the invading army of Vietnam, Ye Tianlong only took less than half a month to recover all the territories that were originally occupied by the Vietnamese.

Later, in order to deter those ambitious Vietnamese monkeys, Ye Tianlong built the heads of the eighteen Vietnamese soldiers at the border to build a huge Beijing Temple several more than ten meters high.

I believe that those Vietnamese monkeys will definitely think about it before they take action if they want to invade after seeing these Jingguan after seeing them.

To tell the truth, Ye Tianlong wants to directly destroy this disgusting white-eyed wolf country, but due to the complex terrain in Vietnam, if he wants to completely destroy it, he may not be able to do it in a few years, after all, the weapons and equipment of the US military are so advanced in the future, don't you also eat in this place!

Therefore, before the Jin people are eliminated, Ye Tianlong will not take the initiative to attack Vietnam for the time being, and it is enough to expel him back first.

While it took Ye Tianlong a few months to finally solve the invading army of Zhong Xiang's rebel army, Dali and Vietnam, Song Jiang's side finally waited for the landing of the Goryeo and Wa armies.

What Song Jiang didn't expect was that the Goryeo and the Wa people actually landed separately, of which the Goryeo army chose to land on the coast near Qingzhou, and the Japanese army chose to land on the coast near Dengzhou.

Previously, Song Jiang's defense focus had always been Dengzhou, but now that he learned that the army of the Gaoli Kingdom had actually landed near Qingzhou, he was surprised and hurriedly asked Lu Junyi to lead 25,000 regular soldiers and 30,000 militia to Qingzhou to resist the army of the Gaoli State.

He himself led 25,000 regular soldiers and 35,000 militia to resist the Japanese army.

The reason why the total number of militia troops is only 70,000 is because many people learned that Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom were preparing to cross the sea, so as long as they were able, they all dragged their families and left, causing the population of Jingdong Road to become extremely scarce.

And now Song Jiang has to rely on the 25,000 regular soldiers and 35,000 militia in his hands to resist the 250,000 Japanese army.

The only thing that made Song Jiang happy was that the weapons and armor of these Japanese people were very rudimentary, most of the soldiers were only equipped with rudimentary bamboo armor and leather armor, and only a few generals were equipped with iron armor.

In terms of weapons, most of the soldiers are equipped with bamboo spears, and there are about 20,000 samurai equipped with one-handed long knives that look a bit like ring-headed knives.

In addition, in addition to melee weapons, the Japanese people are also equipped with a lot of bows and arrows, the bows of the Japanese people are also very peculiar, due to the lack of high-quality wood that can be used to make bows and arrows in its territory, so most of the bows and arrows of the Japanese can only be made of bamboo, and bamboo, an inferior bow-making material, will make bows and arrows with very low power.

In order to avoid this defect, the Japanese began to make the bow body longer and longer, but because the Japanese were too short in height and the arm span was not long enough, if the bow was too long, the small arms and legs of the Japanese people might not be able to pull the bow full. Therefore, the bow craftsmen of the Wa Kingdom have been continuously improved, and finally produced a kind of bow body is not symmetrical and the bow is out, this kind of Wa unique bow bow, the upper bow body is longer, but the lower bow body is shorter, so that when the Japanese soldiers open their bows and arrows, the shorter small part of the bow body will not touch the ground because the Japanese soldiers are too short, and this design can also make the bow and arrows easier to fill.

What Song Jiang didn't expect was that those people who were shorter than him in his eyes had just landed and sent a general over to say that they wanted to fight the Blue Dragon Empire generals in the city.

Song Jiang glanced at the so-called general of the Japanese Kingdom, who barely reached a height of 1.6 meters, and then glanced at the war horse the size of a donkey under the other party, and after being stunned, he readily agreed to the other party's challenge.

In order not to scare these Japanese people into fear and then dare not come out and send them to death alone, Song Jiang chose to send the bantam tiger Wang Ying who was the same height as the Japanese generals to fight in the first battle.
