Chapter 346: Enter the capital
Since the departure of the Western Chu and Eastern Min coalition armies, they have almost won successive battles.
Even the two armies could foresee that the 400,000 combined forces of the two armies could sweep the world.
But the appearance of the Northwest Army knocked them back from fantasy to reality.
The total of 80,000 Northwest Army was defeated, but the 200,000 allied troops were defeated, and they were completely defeated on the frontal battlefield, which no one could have imagined.
Especially the coalition forces in the rear, they saw with their own eyes that the main forces of the two armies were crushed by the Northwest Army in front of their eyes.
Not to mention, this fear of defeat has been planted in their hearts.
The Northwest Army did not rush to attack the Daimyo's Mansion, so they turned their horses' heads and returned to the snowfield where the battle was fierce, collected the bones of their own soldiers, put them in the ashes after cremation, turned around and headed south, and stationed at the exit of Shudi, waiting for the arrival of Yu Yun's army.
This time, the two armies faced off, and the Northwest Army had no tactical tactics at all, and it was completely hard-hitting.
The coalition army was really scared by Chu Yujia this time, and the number of dead soldiers who were defeated and killed by the Northwest Army before and after was as high as more than 100,000, and the two teams of 100,000 people were beaten by the Northwest Army.
Although this war only lasted less than a day, it was on behalf of the entire Ye Kingdom to tell the whole world that the Ye Kingdom was to protect the Son of Heaven.
If anyone is not satisfied, they will step through the Northwest Army first.
Of course, whether you can step on the Northwest Army or not, the first thing to see is whether your bones are hard enough, and whether your soldiers are enough to kill the Northwest Army.
The combat power displayed by the Northwest Army also completely shocked the coalition forces of the two countries.
Even everything that happened here spread to the territory of Wu Yue.
At this time, Wu Yue was facing off in Donghu in the north, and war could break out at any time.
But when they heard the news, the anti-war voices of the government and the opposition became one, for fear that this terrible army would invade Wuyue.
From this, it is not difficult to see how much deterrence the Northwest Army has created for the princes.
Zhengyang eight years, early spring.
As the news of the Northwest Army's destruction of the coalition army spread all over the world, the princes who originally wanted to see the excitement also wavered in their hearts.
And the two princes of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Later Song Dynasty, who had the intention of sending troops, also saw the hope of victory and the hope of complete victory after this.
In the early spring, the Southern Tang Dynasty was one step ahead of the Later Song Dynasty, announcing that it would respond to the call of the Son of Heaven to declare war on the allied forces of the two countries, and on the day of the declaration of war, Yu Yun's army was sent to enter Yang County on the border of Western Chu by Lu Shanjung, and at the same time attacked Anmu Fu and Mihe City.
Then the Song Dynasty also followed, after the Southern Tang Dynasty declared war on the coalition army, he also announced that he had been on the side of the Ye State, and then sent 200,000 soldiers to cross the old Shu land into the territory of the Son of Heaven and join the Northwest Army.
After the convergence of the Later Song Dynasty and the Northwest Army, Chu Yujia, the commander of the Northwest Army, also issued a general order, ordering him to go to the Qianli Camp in Shu some time ago, and the Chasing Wind Battalion entered the territory of Western Chu, with Zhuang Jiade as the commander and Yang Renqi as the deputy commander.
Later, Chu Yujia also used his rights and ordered a part of the Later Song Dynasty to send 100,000 troops to cut off the only way for Western Chu to enter the territory of the Son of Heaven.
In fact, after Yu Yunjun and the Northwest Army entered the hinterland of Western Chu, Western Chu was too busy to take care of itself, and it was impossible to care about what was happening in the Daimyo's mansion.
And after the soldiers in the Daimyo's Mansion learned the news, they were also in turmoil.
Defend the country, protect the family first, and defend the country behind.
Now that my home is gone, what's the point of being a soldier?
Chu Yujia's meaning is very clear, that is, to capture the capital daimyo's mansion as quickly as possible, and then firmly block the coalition army in the territory of the Son of Heaven, and annihilate it all in the territory of the Son of Heaven.
The Daimyofu, the capital of the Mingwu Empire, was once known as the most prosperous city in the Mingwu Empire, with a population of nearly three million at its peak.
But now because of the invasion of the coalition forces, the prosperity is not there.
At this time, the Daimyo's Mansion was simply an undefended city for the Northwest Army, and there were less than 200,000 defenders in such a large city, and they were all pieced together, and the combat effectiveness of this army was vulnerable to the Northwest Army.
If you attack strongly, I'm afraid that you won't need a single attack wave to capture a city wall.
However, this is the capital of the Mingwu Empire, and it has a special meaning for Chu Yujia and many soldiers.
Therefore, things like catapults and ** cannot be used, as they can cause immeasurable damage to the Daimyo's Mansion.
But what Chu Yujia didn't expect was that just when Chu Yujia ordered the siege of the city, the west gate of the Daimyo's Mansion was suddenly opened, and a large group of people walked out of it.
A man wearing the appearance of a general in exquisite armor came to Chu Yujia's war horse with a brocade box held high, dragged the brocade box and then knelt on one knee, and raised his voice respectfully: "Sin general Tian Chong, I am willing to lead the defenders of Beicheng to surrender to the Marquis of Chu." ”
As he spoke, he was about to step forward, but was stopped by Yan Ju.
Yan Ju arrogantly picked up the brocade box in the other party's hand with the weapon in his hand, and then opened it to take a look, and found that it was a letter of surrender.
Yan Ju handed the surrender letter to Chu Yujia, and after Chu Yujia looked at it twice, he raised his head and ordered: "The whole army enters the city." ”
The generals and civil officials who surrendered all looked at Chu Yujia with an extremely frightened gaze.
The Northwest Army can be described as notorious and notoriously non-surrendered.
They were all nervous in their hearts now, for fear that Chu Yujia would be unhappy, so they would cut them all.
Today's Daimyo's Mansion is really different from the previous prosperity, and after Chu Yujia urged the war horse to enter the city, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
How prosperous was the former Daimyo's mansion?
It's only been a long time, less than half a year, and it's become like this.
The streets were very quiet, not even a single pedestrian, and the empty streets could only hear the footsteps of the Northwest sergeants marching, and at this moment the Daimyo's Mansion looked like a dead city.
Chu Yujia was not stupid, but he also knew that these people did not dare to set up an ambush for themselves, but the people of the Daimyo's Mansion had been tossed too miserably during this time, and they were really scared.
Those pairs of frightened eyes watched them through the cracks in the doors and windows, wondering if this army was a Ye army or a coalition army.
Chu Yujia saw that the eyes of these people were all frightened and confused.
It's all the people......
Chu Yujia wanted to go to both sides, and then shouted loudly: "Ye, Ye, Daye......"
With his shouting, many officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army began to shout loudly at this time, so frightened that those descending troops who were trembling and watching at the head of the city did not even dare to breathe.
The momentum of the Northwest Army was honed on the battlefield, in blood and fire, and it also came out under the influence of Chu Yujia.
These soldiers of the Northwest Army, whether they are veterans or recruits, have a belief in maintaining combat status at all times.
From the moment they entered the barracks, everyone taught them that there was no time for the Northwest Army to be in peace, only to fight and prepare for war.
Their combination is like a war maniac with a bunch of maniacs.
Walking on what should have been the most prosperous street, the soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder, looking at the magnificent palace in front of them, and everyone began to clench their weapons.
Because they know that the war is about to begin and the moment of despair is coming......
