The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 147

[Chapter 145 confrontation across the river]

? The rebellion of the entire Southwest Army was a huge blow to Zhong Yu.

The southeast direction of his Royal Kingdom will become without the slightest defense, and they will be directly allowed to invade the entire Royal Kingdom’s city and territory at will.

Following Sun Jian’s betrayal, all the territory in the southwest region that Yuguo had won before were all taken over by Sun Jian in an instant, and the troops were approaching the Luoyang City headquarters.

At this moment in Luoyang, there were only Tian Feng, Zhang Liao and others. The 5,000 cavalry they brought back stood firm. The recruits gathered around Luoyang City, a total of more than 5,000 people, and the cavalry were integrated into an army of 10,000 people.

Together they settled in the west of Luoyang City, a new city thirty miles away, with a population of 3,000 and Pingyin City with a wall ten meters high.

Pingyin City is built on a mountain, and it is leaning against the foot of the mountain, and to the north of it is a mountain peak that is as high as one thousand meters.

It is said that there are monsters living in the mountains, there is a miasma all over, poisonous insects and snakes are lurking everywhere, and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach.

With such dangers, the northern part of Pingyin City is completely a natural danger, and the army cannot pass through it. It can be said that there is no worries.

On the west side of Pingyin City, there is a river, winding for dozens of miles, irrigating the surrounding plains for hundreds of miles.

The river is several miles wide, and ordinary people can’t cross the river without a big boat. They only need to send troops to garrison at the dangerous beach, and shoot arrows at the river beach with bowmen. shore!

Therefore, the strategy implemented by Tian Feng and others is to stand firm and wait for help according to this river, wait for the news to reach their Majesty the Emperor, and then send the army sent by His Majesty to return to help, and then slowly clean up the traitor Sun Jian!

But now, they have recruited 5,000 recruits, and there are 5,000 brave and skilled cavalry. It should be no problem to defend him for a month or two. This time is enough for His Majesty the Emperor to get the news and send troops to come back in time!

As for if you really can’t hold it, then you can retreat to Pingyin City, and use the ten-meter-high city wall of Pingyin City to strengthen it after one or two months.

They have built countless defense facilities, with thousands of his army, and there is no shortage of bows and arrows. They will still have confidence in guarding him for a month or two.

In this way, Sun Jian’s army can be delayed for more than three months, and the confidence of Tian Feng, Zhang Liao and others is still full.

After all, they are all heroes and heroes who were famous in the Three Kingdoms for a while, and they are all talented and talented. It can be said that they have stirred up countless storms and changed the fate of history!

After Sun Jian’s betrayal, the army went all the way to attack. Originally, they gathered barbarians in the southwest area, built more than ten cities, and carried out preliminary rule of the area.

At this moment, the Great King’s flag was changed at the top of the city, and they changed their flags one after another, and hung up Sun Jian’s military flag with the word “Great Sun” written on it.

After that, Sun Jian’s army left one or two thousand people to guard the city, maintain the most basic security, and suppressed the various dissatisfaction of those who had just surrendered.

After that, he took the army to continue the expedition with confidence, and prepared to take advantage of the situation that Tian Feng and others were not ready to attack those around Luoyang as much as possible, the fertile hell that had already undergone preliminary development.

Why is Sun Jian so relieved!

That’s because the entire southwestern region where he ruled originally had a population of 30,000.

He had previously captured eight thousand of his people as cannon fodder, all of them died in the siege battle against the Wogo tribe, and none of them came back alive.

Afterwards, Sun Jian took advantage of the fact that the news had not reached the tribes in the rear, and immediately took the initiative to take down the remaining strong men from those tribes.

The barbarians who were used to maintain the most basic livelihoods, and the guards, and the last three thousand young men were all conscripted into the army and captured in the military camp to serve as forward cannon fodder!

Intending to add the last essence of these barbarians, it can also be said to be the last male bloodline of barbarians, all of them were consumed in the war with Tian Feng and others.

Then the remaining barbarians, women, children, and children can safely send their men to receive them as a reward for their bravery and skill in fighting and for their great deeds!

Such a lucrative thing, and got a batch of cannon fodder for the war, and got some girls and children as slaves, and turned them into military supplies for his army, rewarding and rewarding those soldiers who worked hard, how could Sun Jian not dislike it, how could he not do it? !

In this way, Sun Jian only left one or two thousand people as custodians of the slaves, to suppress the group of weak women who did not have any men, although they were weak compared to the barbarians.

But in the tribe, all men who were over one meter tall were taken and divided into a piece of wood as a weapon, and Sun Jian used as cannon fodder. Under this extremely cruel reality, what kind of storm could these women create?

You can only obey fate obediently, and set off to Luoyang City along the way, and on the way, you have invaded several original cities of Luoyang City.

But there is no one in the city now, and they have all been dismissed by Tian Feng and others, or brought to the rear. In short, it is impossible to stay for Sun Jian to carry out a sea of cannon fodder tactics.

If you can’t take it with you,

They were also ordered to kill by the ruthless Tian Feng and others. In short, they would not be left behind to help Sun Jian and others. The heavy materials were also burned to the ground, and nothing was left.

It was to cause logistical pressure on Sun Jian. His military rations were originally provided by Luoyang City, but now he rebelled, and he and others cut off the food route from Luoyang to Sun Jian’s army.

Sun Jian’s army’s military rations at the moment, based on the experience of Tian Feng and others in his army, can only support him for less than 20 days. Ten days of rations!

Moreover, most of the supplies and siege equipment of Sun Jian’s army were at the moment lost in the previous city of Wogo, especially the extremely important bow and crossbow, the most deterrent long-range weapon in the age of cold weapons.

Although he didn’t damage many of them, his arrows didn’t have much stock, and a bow and crossbow without arrows would be incomparable to stones when used to smash people, so how could it be used as a weapon for killing people? Woolen cloth!

When Sun Jian’s army came to the other side of the river opposite Pingyin City, Tian Feng and others had already built a dense defensive line on their own side, with all kinds of defensive measures on it, keeping the enemy army able to stay here. Break the halberd and sink into the sand, and suffer all the way!

No, Sun Jian looked at the defensive measures on the opposite side, his brows were wrinkled, his whole face was crying like a bitter gourd, he didn’t know what to do!

I could only photograph one or two messengers to persuade them to surrender, and they came to the other side of the river. I wanted to rely on my position as the commander-in-chief of the army on the opposite side to persuade them to surrender obediently, so that they could abandon the darkness and return to their own command.

However, he was directly beheaded by Tian Feng and others who had been prepared for a long time in the middle of the river. Before the messenger crossed the river and reached the shore, he was sent directly to see the gods and Buddhas.

This kind of resolute not only made Sun Jian and others angry, but also reminded the soldiers under Tian Feng, Zhang Liao and others that there was no way out at this moment, and only by fighting to the death could they find a chance!

Even before the war, they told the soldiers that their wives and children were still in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor. If they rebelled now, even if they could win, their wives and children would not have any physiology, and they would completely cut off other thoughts in their hearts!
