Chapter 117: The Battle Begins
By the morning of the next day, Yang Yu had already passed by twenty-five cities, and had also killed a lot of enemy generals who had been refined, but there were only three of them in the Yuan Spirit Realm, and there were still those more important cities, and there was only one general in the Yuan Spirit Realm.
After doing this, Yang Yu spent most of the day and flew back to Big Rock City.
Now is the time when there is an urgent need for soldiers, so Yang Yu continues to transfer the soldiers who can be drawn, and since he has recovered the city, there is no need to leave so many people.
There are only 2,000 people left in the smaller cities, and only 3,000 people are left in the larger cities, which shows how short of people there is now, and how difficult the situation of the Tianxuan Empire is.
In addition to defending the city, guarding the prisoners and casualties, a total of more than 100,000 people were transferred, Yang Yu repeated his old tricks, and occupied the ten cities of the Dragon God Empire, and then began to deploy the defense forces of each city.
After so many days, the Maple God Empire should have reacted, and it is estimated that the next step is to deal with the counterattack of the Maple God Empire, as long as it can block the counterattack of the Maple God Empire for half a month, and then wait for the arrival of reinforcements, it should be a decisive battle with the Maple God Empire.
On the new border, Zhang Yuefeng ordered people to lay a heavy ambush on those relatively steep mountains, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Fengshen Empire.
Sure enough, as Yang Yu expected, after occupying the thirty-five cities of the Maple God Empire, the emperor of the Maple God Empire was furious and immediately dispatched 500,000 troops and marched in a hurry to seize the cities that had fallen.
In this operation, the Maple God Empire dispatched five powerhouses of the Yuan Spirit Realm at once, and it is said that the generalissimo who led the army was still at the peak of the Yuan Spirit realm.
It is estimated that if Yang Yu heard these news, he would definitely smile from ear to ear, if the five Yuan Spirit Realm Beings were killed, what would be the expression of the emperor of the Maple God Empire!
Finally, ten days later, all the 500,000 troops of the Maple God Empire left for the front line to start a decisive battle with the Tianxuan Empire.
Under the command of Zhang Yuefeng, the troops of the Tianxuan Empire are all dealing with the army of the Fengshen Empire in an orderly manner, and no one has the slightest fear, all the soldiers have heard about it these days, the generalissimo of their leadership is a god-like existence, no matter how difficult the battle is, it is easy to get to him, so although they are facing the 500,000 army of the Fengshen Empire, they have no fear.
On this morning, there were many local troops on the periphery of the city occupied by the Tianxuan Empire.
After getting these news, Yang Yu was overjoyed, the enemy's generals were simply fools to Yang Yu, if they concentrated their forces to attack one place, Yang Yu would definitely be in great pain with these tens of thousands of idle personnel, but now!
The longer the battle line is stretched, the more beneficial it is for Yang Yu, the reason is very simple, Yang Yu can concentrate his forces and use the numerical advantage to quickly cannibalize the 500,000 troops.
Yang Yu called Xue'er out in the mysterious space again, and asked her and Yan Yan to sneak up on the generals of the enemy army, asking for a quick victory, and then bringing back the corpses of the generals.
Sure enough, they acted the next day, and the strength of each of the more than ten cities on the periphery was about 50,000 people, while each city occupied by the Tianxuan Empire was only about 10,000 people, and some even only a few thousand, it seemed that they couldn't stop the army of the Maple God Empire.
At this time, the traps prepared by Zhang Yuefeng in advance, as well as rolling logs, stones, and other means that can secretly calculate the enemy's army, all of them were used, and after sneaking up on the enemy, he immediately retreated, preparing to block the enemy next time, so after three checkpoints, the army of the Tianxuan Empire retreated to the city and could not hold out.
Because Zhang Yuefeng arranged properly in advance and did not confront the enemy head-on, the casualties were not large.
The army of the Maple God Empire is different, although it is said that each city has more than 50,000 troops, but after the sneak attack and secret calculation of the Tianxuan Empire, there are also Xue'er and Yan Yan to kill the enemy's generals.
And Yang Yu himself urgently pulled out more than 50,000 people in the rear and put them directly in the rear of the enemy, killing them by surprise.
After a day of fierce fighting, not a single city was lost, and the casualties were not so optimistic, and tens of thousands of soldiers were sleeping here.
Even if there were ambushes outside the city, and the assassinations of the generals, the dragons were leaderless, which made them panic, and when they encountered the siege, more people died.
Because the battle line was too long, the 500,000 army did not capture a single city, and lost more than 100,000 soldiers and many generals for no reason.
At this time, the leading soldiers finally knew that something was wrong, and quickly shrank their forces, gathered in one place, and then attacked one place, slowly encroaching.
Zhang Yuefeng and Wu Tian have been marching for many years, so they naturally know what the other party's generals are going to do, so at this time, they will gather their troops in one place, and then they will have a decisive battle!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuefeng hurriedly asked Yang Yu to discuss matters, and Zhang Yuefeng asked Yang Yu to quickly shrink his forces and start defending.
Although the enemy's troop transfer speed is already very fast, but compared to Yang Yu, they are naturally much slower, if they need three days to unite the troops, Yang Yu can close all the troops overnight, and then fight a decisive battle with more than 300,000 troops of the Maple God Empire.
Three days later, the enemy's more than 300,000 troops were all gathered outside Sunshine City, a city that originally belonged to the Maple God Empire, and Yang Yu naturally gathered most of the troops here, preparing for a decisive battle with the army of the Maple God Empire.
In fact, Yang Yu's idea was to continue to disturb the enemy's military spirit with harassment and assassination, but the situation in the Tianxuan Empire did not allow him to do so.
On this day, Yang Yu looked at the model map of the Maple God Empire in front of him boredly, and suddenly, he found that the place where the Maple God Empire's army was located was actually on a large open field, without any mountains and trees around, and there was no place to ambush the army, and he couldn't help but start appreciating the enemy's general, and he chose such a good place.
However, if there is a large number of cavalry, this battle is easy to fight, in the open field, it is a paradise for cavalry, and if the infantry faces the cavalry, there is not much room to fight back.
After thinking about it for a long time, there was no way, and I had no choice but to think of a way that was not a solution, that is, he, Xue'er, Yan Yan and others went directly into the enemy's military camp, wantonly killed, specifically killed the opponent's high-end forces, and created chaos for the enemy.
Or just drag it out, that is, not go out of the city to fight a decisive battle, and then wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
Since there was no way, Yang Yu took Xue'er and Yan Yan to the enemy camp, directly killed the leader of the other party, and then retreated quickly, not to face off with their high-end forces.
Just when Yang Yu was about to start acting, a distress signal came from the west, Yang Yu was helpless, and instructed Zhang Yuefeng to let him guard the city gate, not to fight a decisive battle with the other party, and wait for him to come back.
Then, he put the person who came to report into the mysterious space, so he had to rush to the west to fight with the Xuanhuang Empire overnight.
Yu Shen was very happy to see Yang Yu's arrival, he thought that Yang Yu was definitely a genius who marched and fought a war, with only more than 200,000 people, in just six or seven days, not only recovered the eight cities that fell, but also occupied more than 30 cities of the enemy, such a record He thought that no one could surpass Yang Yu, even he was no exception.
"Marshal Yu, tell me about the situation!" Yang Yu was so anxious that he naturally wouldn't have anything to do with him.
"The Xuanhuang Empire has increased its troops again, a full 300,000, and our local defenders plus the 50,000 I brought, only a few hundred thousand, the difference in strength is huge, this battle is not easy to fight. Yu Shen said with a bitter face: "Recently, due to the continuous siege of the Xuanhuang Empire, we have suffered a lot of casualties, so I will report to you." ”
"Okay, that's easy, do you have a topographic map? I'll take a look. Yang Yu asked.
"Yes, you come with me. Yang Yu followed Yu Shen to the room of the combat commander, where there was a topographic map several meters square and made of sand and gravel, with small flags of various colors on it, marking the comparison of the strength of the enemy and us.
After reading the topographic map, Yang Yu closed his eyes, rubbed his swollen head with his hands, and quickly thought of a way to deal with it, and after a few minutes, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"It's simple, leave it to me. Yang Yu and Yu Shen left together and went to the place where the army was stationed, and then Yang Yu gathered most of the soldiers in the cities that were not on the border line, and prepared to repeat the old tricks and put those troops into those cities that had fallen.
A total of 120,000 soldiers were gathered this time, not that Yang Yu didn't want to find more soldiers, but that there was really no one available.
It took a night to kill a few important generals of the enemy defending the city, and then put down 10,000 soldiers, and told those soldiers those rules, that is, surrender and do not kill the people, and then after occupying the city, open a warehouse and release grain to pacify the people.
And after he did this, he said goodbye to Yu Shen, and asked him to go to the ten cities early tomorrow morning to inspect the ten cities, and did not give Yu Shen a chance to ask, and flew away directly, which made Yu Shen puzzled, but there was nothing to do, Yang Yu was the kind of person who came and went without a trace, and did not give him a chance to ask at all.
After flying for most of the day, he returned to Sunshine City, and after listening to Zhang Yuefeng talk about today's battle situation, he frowned deeply, and he had lost more than 20,000 people in just one day, which shows how fierce today's war is.
