From Soldier To Emperor
Chapter 352: Before the decisive battle
As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, if it weren’t for the Ming Dynasty’s Lord Richard, he would always win more with less than a miraculous victory. It is estimated that Song’s army had already started from the Sichuan area at this time. Mingguo's abdomen!
Compared with the rebellious Ming State, Song Qili, whose main force of green leather was consumed by layers of defenses and musket militia, was obviously more prosperous and surplus.
Because most of the people who worked hard with Greenskins on the front line were simply trained musketeers from the ordinary people of the Song State, the true elite of the Song State were able to rest in the rear. At this time, they were dispatched to the Sichuan area bordering the Ming State. Waiting for the opportunity to fall into trouble for Mingguo.
In addition, the Song Kingdom's gold and silver offensive also began quietly in the local government on the border of the Ming Kingdom. The Ming and Song Dynasties were both Han courts, and there was no national righteous support. The moral pressure for rebellion was very low.
This is also the reason why the bureaucrats of the Tang State surrendered to the Ming and Song Dynasties on a large scale.
However, because Richard's violent regime was killed in a sea of blood and blood, and his zero tolerance for traitors, the Ming state officials at the border often had an ambiguous attitude towards Song State's gold coin offensive.
Before the situation became clear, none of the local officials were dragged into the water.
Those who can become local officials are all human beings. When they are not sure about it, no one wants to provoke the bloodthirsty tyrant Richard Richard.
Ming Guo's crime of treason is all implicated in the nine tribes!
Once the rebellion fails, his entire family will be completely killed from top to bottom!
With a butcher knife on their heads, the local officials of Ming Kingdom naturally did not dare to place bets casually when making decisions.
But everyone's basis for judging whether Mingguo can persist is similar to watching whether the capital of Qiuci will fall into the Ottoman Empire!
It was in this environment that Richard personally took 5,000 Xiliang cavalry, 50,000 ordinary Revival Army, the Undead Corps and the two-headed giant to return to the capital of Qiuci!
The rest is not that Richard doesn't want to be transferred, but that he really can't be removed, otherwise the green-skin front that has the advantage of the front line will face collapse.
In fact, after Richard drew out 5000 Xiliang cavalry, the advantage of the Ming army in the battle between the eastern front and the greenskins has been greatly weakened. Without this elite cavalry unit that was constantly being replenished, the Ming army lost a large number of field forces. The green-skinned orcs’ mobile units can only rely on city defense and field fortifications and green-skinned desperately.
It can be seen that the infantry of the Revival Army will definitely bear a higher cost of casualties.
In the northwest region, the local garrison troops with the Western Region Army as the backbone were all dispatched to the front line to make up for the shortcomings of the Revival Army.
It can be said that the two-line combat made Richard feel tremendous military pressure.
It was precisely because of the difficulty of the two-line battle that Song Guo didn't do anything.
After all, two-line combat is more than just sending troops there. At least one more supply line and doubling the war cost are not a small amount.
Now that the war of attrition with Green Leather has reached this point, and the Southern Song Dynasty's property has been consumed almost, Song Taizu naturally cannot open a new front where no victory can be seen.
Song Taizu does not have the kind of systematic soldiers that can be produced continuously, the army needs to be paid for support!
Once war starts, pensions and wartime allowances are not small sums.
After arriving in the capital of Qiuci, the 50,000 ordinary Revival Army was immediately replenished to the gap in the front line to resist the invasion of the small Ottoman Expeditionary Army.
Richard personally took the 5000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Undead Army as the main force, constantly supervising the overall offensive situation of the Ottoman Expeditionary Army.
Once the main force of the Ottoman Empire appeared on which side, Richard would take someone to make it up.
The battlefield of the two sides is no longer one city and one place. The Ottoman Empire directly opened up two lines of defense in the north and south of Congling with its abundant military strength, and the number of troops invested was almost the same!
On one side is the human servant army with the Arabs as the main body, and on the other side is the human servant army with the Persians as the main body.
In a series of local melees, Richard finally found out where the real main force of the Ottoman Empire was.
On the other side, the Ottoman Eastern Expeditionary Army. Since Lin Denwan’s "Serite Army" has been damaged because of the vanguard for a long time, it has maintained the supply line in the rear and supplemented the "Serene" compatriots rescued from the collective farm. The main force is under the direct command of Euan, the supreme commander.
After all, the composition of the Ottoman Expeditionary Army is too complicated. Many teams come from the army temporarily recruited in the famine area. Only Euan, the dark elf, has enough prestige to suppress all human generals.
It was also the leadership of Youan that ensured that more than one hundred thousand Ottoman expeditionary forces were in battle and marching on the front line.
Under You'an's command, the troops on the north and south sides of Congling cooperated with each other and achieved a brilliant record. With only 20,000 casualties, Love reunited in the Shule area!
Shule was also a transportation hub and core capital of the Ming Kingdom ruled in the Western Regions.
It is the first line of defense in the capital of Kucha and the most powerful line of defense!
Facts have proved that the combination of the Pikemen and Musketeers of the Revival Army's semi-firearmed army is not enough to see the fully firearmed Ottoman Expeditionary Army.
The 50,000 ordinary Revival Army sent by Richard not only failed to block the Ottoman Expeditionary Army~www.wuxiaspot.com~, they were also beaten all the way back to Shule Army Town!
In the end, only less than 20,000 people were defeated and returned. It can be said that they have almost lost their combat effectiveness.
For this reason, Richard had to change his previous combat plan from offensive to defensive and counter-offensive strategic planning.
The remnants of the Revival Army and the original defenders of the Shule Army and the young militias gathered from various places formed a garrison force of more than 60,000. Two thirds used cold weapons and one third used firearms. The Lejun’s city defense system resisted the Ottoman Expeditionary Army’s offensive.
And Richard took the Undead Army and Xiliang Iron Cavalry and disappeared in the Ottoman Empire's reconnaissance network.
The disappearance does not mean that the Ottoman scouts have been defeated, but the troops led by Richard are not around the Shule Army Town!
While this discovery made You An a little bit disappointed, he confidently concentrated his 100,000 main forces and began to storm Shule Army Town!
Regardless of the fact that almost all the people in the Shule Army Town have their weapons, but under the siege artillery, most of the backward city defense system is a question of how many shells are consumed!
The Ottoman Empire has begun to build small gunpowder workshops in the occupied areas to supplement the war consumption nearby. Youan said that he is not afraid of Mingguo's consumption tactics!
What You An didn't know was that what he was about to face was a strange army beyond his imagination!
It is recommended to take the empire into another world
