In the 3880th year of the Xia calendar,
the various forces of the Qiu people finally reached an agreement and agreed to use military force against the monsters, including the Zhou Dynasty.
There are many reasons why the Zhou Dynasty agreed to temporarily put aside the past grudges with the Datong Kingdom. First, the Zhou Dynasty took over the defense line of Lingyun Mountain and indeed fought many battles with the monsters. It knew how powerful the monsters were and realized that the monsters were a great threat to the human race.
Second, after the continued hostility with the Datong Kingdom, the Datong Kingdom discovered their weakness, that is, the high-level and wealthy classes of the Zhou Dynasty had a great demand for the luxury goods of the Datong Kingdom. In terms of
luxury goods, the Datong Kingdom and even its predecessor were very powerful, far exceeding the Zhou Dynasty and the Xian Kingdom, let alone those primitive tribes.
So Lin Jiang ordered that on the one hand, the export of luxury goods should be strictly controlled, and on the other hand, the envoys should be used by various means to win over and corrupt the internal personnel of the Zhou Dynasty.
After several years, the voices of cooperation within the Zhou Dynasty became louder and louder, and finally the Datong Kingdom temporarily put aside the past grudges, and the two sides signed a cooperation agreement.
"Now the strategy is clear. Our strategic goal is to encircle and annihilate all the monsters south of Qingjiang. The battlefield is divided into four steps. The Great Wall Legion of the Immortal Kingdom is responsible for the west, responsible for increasing harassment and holding back part of the monsters' main force. The southern part is under the responsibility of our Datong Kingdom, which will send out 2 million troops and attack in six directions, intending to find the monsters' main force for a decisive battle and defeat them. The eastern part is under the responsibility of the Zhou Dynasty, which will send out 600,000 troops from Lingyun Mountain and attack westward from Lingyun Mountain. The Zhou Dynasty will choose the tactic of nibbling away at the enemy step by step. Its strategic intention is to hold back part of the monsters' main force and weaken their strength. The northern
part is under the responsibility of our Datong Kingdom, which will send out 2 million troops and attack in six directions, intending to find the monsters' main force for a decisive battle and defeat them.
The Zhou Dynasty is also responsible for this. The Qingjiang Navy of the Zhou Dynasty will fight against the monster navy, defeat the monster navy and prevent the monsters on the north bank of the Qingjiang River from providing support. However, according to the news I received, the Zhou Dynasty's navy is not strong, so we in Datong must also be prepared. If the Zhou Dynasty's navy is really defeated, Haizhou's ocean-going warships will escort the Yunjiang Navy northward to cut off the monsters' retreat and the arrival of reinforcements,"
said Lin Jiang. The four battlefields in the southeast, northwest and northeast started fighting at the same time. What Lin Jiang was most worried about was the Zhou Dynasty's navy, because Lin Jiang got news from various channels that the Zhou Dynasty's navy was very corrupt and had very weak combat effectiveness.
"The offensive will begin in seven days. Now I announce the commanders of the six armies. The commander of the first route is General Xia Liang from Mizhou. I will be the deputy commander and follow the action in Mizhou. The second route will depart from Qinzhou, and the commander is Qin Yong..."
Then Lin Jiang ordered the six commanders, all of whom had fought their way through many years of war. Among them, there were surrendered generals, such as Xia Liang from Mizhou. Even Lin Jiang made him his deputy commander. Of course, this was also because Lin Jiang wanted to fight hard, so he was not suitable to be the commander.
······
To the north of Mizhou, Lin Jiang first led 30,000 elite troops forward and began to clear out some small monster tribes. In fact, the Datong Army has been fighting sporadically in recent years. Over the years, the monster tribes close to the border have suffered heavy losses. Not only are they unable to launch an attack on the border, but they have been eliminated.
So the vanguard was extremely smooth at the beginning, but when they advanced hundreds of miles, the monster tribes increased, and the monsters had already learned about the Datong Army's large-scale attack. Lin Jiang saw many monster tribes gathering.
"Racial struggle, life and death, all those monster tribes, kill them all,"
Lin Jiang ordered. Many young and strong men from the monster tribes did not know where to gather, leaving the old, weak and disabled in the tribe. Lin Jiang also ordered to wield the butcher knife against these old, weak and disabled.
During the operation, Lin Jiang received a report from the messenger that Xia Liang had already led the main force to catch up, and asked Lin Jiang to take charge of the center. Lin Jiang had to return to the army.
"Five hundred thousand combat troops, one million auxiliary troops, stretching for hundreds of miles, if there is not enough experience of large-scale troops, just a march will cause big problems."
Lin Jiang came to the main force, looking at the endless marching team, and felt that it was not easy to command. With such a large number of people, the commander had to solve their food, drink, defecation and urination, which was not something that could be done casually.
"General Xia"
"Your Majesty, according to internal information from the monsters, the monster's ape tribe is gathering monster troops in Peizhou. Now there are no less than 80,000 young and strong monsters, and more than 100,000 human servants. They will march south soon"
"Is this news from the Huan family?"
"Yes, news has come from other families as well. The monsters in Qianzhou, Yingzhou, Yuanzhou and other places have all been mobilized. It seems that the monsters have sensed the danger"
"This is also very normal. Our Datong country alone has two million soldiers and horses. If they don't mobilize, they will surely die. What do the people of the nobles say now? Are they willing to abandon darkness and join the light? How many people can they take with them?"
Lin Jiang said. The bases of the five major families are all in the north, and each family influences an entire state. Although Xie Yunfeng and others went south, there are still many clansmen there, and they can't take so many people with them.
So after the monsters came, many people from each family became traitors, just like traitors. Those who can become leaders are not ordinary people, but have certain status and background. Many people from the five major families are high-level officials in the monster's vassal army and are deeply trusted.
In the past few years, Lin Jiang ordered Xie Yunfeng and others to contact these people, and basically got satisfactory responses and became their internal supporters.
"Huan Jian reported that his family can take away 30,000 to 40,000 people."
"30,450 is not a lot, so let him turn against us in the decisive battle, and don't move now."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"The army speeds up, I can't wait to fight the monster's regular army."
Lin Jiang said, the monster's civilization is already very advanced. Before, they were all dealing with tribes, and the monsters have regular armies. He wants to fight the monster's regular army.
Half a month later, the Datong army swept all the way and entered the territory of Shuzhou, while the demon's ape tribe also set out from Peizhou and arrived in Shuzhou. They gathered all the way, and the number of the demon army soon reached more than 100,000. Together with the vassal army, the number of troops was no less than 300,000.
600,000 vs. 300,000. The Datong army seemed to have more people, but the overall strength was not superior, because the individual demons were much stronger, and the Datong army won because of better equipment.
The Datong army deployed troops and camped for dozens of miles. The demon army also camped five or six miles apart. The two sides began to confront each other, and the cavalry and scouts began to fight, trying to block each other's sight.
"This is the demon's regular army, the demon of the ape tribe."
Lin Jiang stood on the wall of the camp and looked at the demon's soldiers. There were more than ten demons, but the regular army was only about 10,000 people, all from the same race, the ape tribe.
The Ape Tribe is one of the five tribes that came south from the northern part of Qingjiang. It is a combination of apes, monsters and humans. Now they are not much different from humans. They are tall, hairy and powerful. Almost all adult males of the Ape Tribe are more than two meters tall. They are a mass of black and very attractive.
"Your Majesty, according to inside information, there should be about ten martial saints among the monsters on this road. We only have four of us. We should be careful of the monster martial saints' sudden attack,"
said Xia Liang. In the past two years, the number of martial arts masters in Datong has exploded, so that the number of martial saints in Datong has reached 20. They have been assigned four people, including Lin Jiang.
"Don't be afraid, just leave the martial saint to me. Send people to provoke the monsters and fight a defensive counterattack,"
said Lin Jiang. He is not a martial saint. Now he needs to play the advantage of Datong's military equipment and lure the monsters to attack their camp.
Soon, elite cavalry came out of the camp, first clearing out the enemy's scouts on the battlefield, and then began to make a charge. This was of course a feint, but the demons did not dare to be careless in feints.
This happened many times, and the demons were completely furious, and began to send a large number of troops to fight. The total number of troops on both sides exceeded 10,000. After a while of fighting, the Datong army began to retreat under Lin Jiang's instructions. The demons did not think too much and went straight to the Datong army's camp.
