Chapter 767: Air Cavalry Dispatch (Part II)
Trapped in the southwest are three states, namely Shanzhou, Sichuanzhou, and Yanzhou.
Shanzhou and Sichuan belong to the northwest region, and Yanzhou belongs to the southeast region, and the northwest region is a little richer than the southwest region, and the road is not very good, so although two states in the northwest region have become shield states, they have not received a lot of supplies, but the steepness of the mountains and rivers has greatly increased the defense of these two shield states, so they don't need too many resources.
Yanzhou, which belongs to the southeast region, because the southeast region is the richest area except the imperial capital, the densely populated area, the terrain is gentle, and there is no danger to defend at all, Yanzhou can be said to be the gate of the southeast region, once the gate is lost, the southeast region does not have to guard, so most of the strength of the whole world is inclined to Yanzhou, especially other states in the southeast region are going all out to support Yanzhou. Because those who have brains know that it is better to lose the entire northwest region than to lose a Yanzhou. If you lose the southwest and northwest, you can only be regarded as missing arms and legs, and if you lose Yanzhou, you will be disemboweled, and you will hang up if you are not careful!
Therefore, the people in the southeast of the other two shield states do not pay attention, but Yanzhou is related to the safety of the entire southeast region, countless money, food and materials are poured into Yanzhou, because the southeast region belongs to the rich zone, rivers are everywhere, and roads are dense, so it is much more convenient to transport materials than in the northwest, and there are many more craftsmen than in the northwest, so Yanzhou is also the first of the three shield states to complete the border defense construction.
Looking at the sentry tower fortress that almost surrounded the border line, looking at the dense crossbows and bed crossbows, most people laughed proudly, but there were also shrewd people who were still frightened, vigorously replenishing the border with various powerful giant crossbows, and pulling a large number of strong people to act as a defensive force. This overly worried behavior was ridiculed by many people, but these people only needed one sentence: "There are more than half a million air cavalry in the southwest, and they can attack directly from high altitudes." Will we be able to resist their direct bypass of the defensive line?"
Although after the rise of the southwest, all forces desperately sent spies to the southwest, but they didn't get much useful information, and even how many troops the southwest had were obtained through the news released by the southwest itself, except for the fact that the air cavalry of the road was controlled by monsters that could fly, and I didn't know what the air cavalry was capable of, which was also the reason why a large number of crossbow archers were formed in the shield state.
Therefore, after understanding the almost insoluble enemy of the air cavalry, Yanzhou once again put all his strength on the long-range attack force, and even began to search for strong people who could fly into the air. Although there are few, but there are and no, the confidence is different, besides, these flying powerhouses fly in the air with their own strength, unlike the southwest with monsters flying in the air, once they fight, the flying powerhouses on their side will definitely be able to kill the southwest air cavalry like a chicken.
While the three shield states were desperately building, Shen Fei's order was also issued. The southwest troops, who had long been suffocating to death, immediately shouted excitedly, mobilized troops and horses and rushed to Sanzhou. This time, it was because of Shen Fei's order-style attack, not occupation. Therefore, the government departments did not allocate manpower, and other materials did not need to be mobilized, and they continued to engage in construction and hoarding power while working hard to increase Shen Fei's divine sense.
Without these tedious preparations for the occupation, it would be much easier for the Southwestern troops to be dispatched. Bring some food, wound medicine, vitality crystals, arrows and other materials equipped with daily training, you can assemble the troops and set off, the advantage of the air cavalry is here. After receiving the order, they didn't need to make any preparations, they gathered their teams, divided the attack targets, and flew directly from the camp to the battlefield.
Zhang Jiasan's army was divided into the attack on Yanzhou, leading four subordinates, followed by the superiors, accompanied by a neat air cavalry roaring to the border of Yanzhou, looking down from a high altitude, more obvious than on the ground, a dense defense line full of guard towers and fortresses formed a black cloth belt on the ground, completely blocking the passage from the southwest to the outside, no wonder there have been no foreign caravans in the southwest during this time, but they thought that this would completely intercept the foreign exchanges in the southwest? Every night, I don't know how many empty horsemen in Ludao turned into merchants, transporting how many goods from Ludao out of the southwest, and transporting back how many materials in Ludao.
Under the seduction of interests, those who are clamoring to die with the southwest on the surface, secretly do not do business with the southwest, such a line of defense, in the southwest with air horses, is a kind of goods, because the southwest not only transports materials through air horses, but also transports personnel through air horses, and the people who want to take refuge in the southwest only need to assemble somewhere, and then the southwest can secretly transport them in, so although from the ground, the southwest is completely blocked, but the economic and personnel exchanges have not been damaged much at all, that is, the trouble needs to pass through the air channel。
Zhang Jiasan looked at the defense facilities on the opposite side, and then looked at the situation on his side, because the southwest was obsessed with practicing internal skills, there was no external expansion, so there was only a lonely railway placed there on the border from Yanzhou, and there was no one within a hundred miles of the border of Yanzhou。
The appearance of the air cavalry naturally made the people of Yanzhou find that a large number of black clouds were overwhelming, and that kind of terrifying feeling was not something that ordinary people could bear, so with countless frightened cries, the alarm also sounded, and for a while, the chaotic noise and the police arrows that rose into the sky sounded directly in this border place.
Watching the countless crowds of people below pouring out of the various hiding holes towards the guard towers and bunkers, countless bows and crossbows were pushed out and placed on a special slope platform, with sharp arrows high in the sky, completely looking like hedgehogs. Seeing this, the air cavalry present couldn't help laughing, these fools, they don't know anything about the southwest at all, and they actually built such a defense facility, do they really think that these air cavalry are stupid? Would they stupidly rush to such a dense crossbow and enjoy the rain of arrows?
It was so easy to crack this way, and the riders smiled and urged their mounts to rise high into the air.
Looking at the original scene of the black clouds pressing the city, it suddenly became a black cloud rising, and the people of Yanzhou immediately cheered, it seems that their own crossbow arrow array has an effect, these Southwest Air Cavalry, which is said to have never been defeated, has evaded!
It's just that they weren't happy for long, and they were all dumbfounded, because the black cloud that rose high did not leave, but continued to move forward so slowly, and normal people could imagine what kind of scene it would be like for the southwest air cavalry to cross the defense line and enter the hinterland of Yanzhou! The troops of Yanzhou are all concentrated on the side of the defense line, and there are not many available troops in the hinterland at all! This southwest air cavalry entered the hinterland and wreaked havoc, turned its head and attacked from both sides, don't these people have to die?!
At the thought of this, everyone couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts, they didn't expect that the air cavalry could be used like this, and this battle was still a fart! For a while, all those soldiers and petty officers lost their will and became a little disheartened. In fact, to tell the truth, who is the master in the world has nothing to do with them, anyway, whoever is in charge of the house has to pay taxes, and these people who are placed on the front line are not those stupid farmers, and they are also skeptical of the rumors that slander the southwest.
The biggest reason why these people can confront the southwest is to establish meritorious promotions and make a fortune, and then because the southwest has become the public enemy of the world, and the power of the whole world is hostile to the southwest, so they think that the southwest can't please the southwest, let alone dominate the world, and it is great to be able to ensure that the southwest does not lose, so they naturally have to beat up such a water dog.
It was only now that as soon as the air cavalry came out, they realized that this was not a water dog, but an abyssal dragon, and it was not at all something that their own people could resist! Therefore, after understanding this, those who had a heart would naturally be lost, and they would not be able to win, so what could they fight? The exploits they had earned here might later become the culpability! That's why they were so disheartened.
And the change in the morale of the army, those senior officials naturally understood, and immediately shouted: "Shoot arrows! Shoot immediately! Quickly ask the worshippers to take to the air to attack those air cavalry, and they must not be allowed to cross the defensive line!"
At the urging of the officers, all the bows and crossbows and crossbows shot at the sky in unison, but the strongest of these ranges was only a few thousand meters, and they could not even reach half the height of the air cavalry.
Seeing the chaos below, Zhang Jiasan smiled disapprovingly, and was about to lead his four subordinates to continue to follow the troops, after all, the previous military order was harassed, so it was natural to have to go deep into the enemy to sabotage.
But at this time, the superior suddenly came to order, Zhang Jiasan was stunned for a moment, but soon he didn't care, gestured to the four subordinates, took out an oval apple-sized iron gadget from the back of the jellyfish, lifted the lid on the top, revealed a ring, and put it on his fingers.
Turning his head to look around, he was not the only one who was acting like this, there were hundreds of troops distributed throughout the entire defense line at a rapid decline. I can't help but feel the pleasure of the rapid decline, and also look at the iron thing in the palm of my hand. This thing was just equipped not long ago.,It's said that it's a new thing made by the lord.,And it's more powerful than the gun that the lord used to equip the police with.,It's said that it's still a vitality gem.,I don't know what formation Lu Dao passes.,This vitality gem can explode instantly.。 That power, hum, directly destroying a house is simply pediatric, and I really don't believe that the watchtower bunker below can withstand such power.
As for whether the attack on the guard tower bunker was against the lord's edict? Even a person like Zhang Jiasan, who was loyal to Shen Fei, would not think so, the lord's edict was an attack, and destroying the enemy's defense line by himself was also an attack, anyway, as long as Yanzhou was not occupied, no matter how many attacks were attacked, it would be an attack.
