Chapter 276 281, dimensionality reduction attack!
In the main world, early morning on a certain day in late autumn.
In Liupan Mountain, above Xiaoguan, a young general, with a team of personal soldiers, was patrolling the city.
"Are you still asleep? Cheer up! And you, the tip of your gun is rusty, you will be punished after the shift! And who is in charge of this crossbow? Don't you know to oil the mechanism?"
This young general found faults and scolded people all the way, acting like a strict and famous general.
But the soldiers guarding the pass disagreed.
After the young general walked away, a soldier who had been scolded spat and cursed:
"Pretentious!"
"Shut up, are you going to die?" An old soldier beside him shouted in a low voice, "That person is a member of the Wanyan clan! Even if he is a poor man in the clan, he only needs one word to kill you!"
The soldier still looked unconvinced, but he didn't dare to curse anymore. He just said sullenly:
"Xiaoguan hasn't seen a war for decades. Didn't the guards in the past just muddle through? They could even make a fortune by guarding the checkpoints and collecting gifts from passing caravans... But now it's my turn to be a soldier. I have to drill every three days and train every five days. Not only can I not make a fortune, but I also have to be on duty every day and have no peace..."
The old soldier sighed:
"Who told you to change the owner over there? When Xixia was still around, they paid tribute to our Jin Dynasty and lived in peace for decades. Xiaoguan was only used for trade between the two countries, so naturally the military preparations were abandoned. But now the Yong Kingdom across the way is ambitious. Not only did they annex the Western Regions and Xixia, but it is said that even the Western Liao Dynasty has to look at their face...
"In recent years, not only has our Xiaoguan been strictly prepared for military deployment, but military camps have also been built at strategic locations along the Xiaoguan Ancient Road from Liupan Mountain to Guanzhong. A small camp has 50 soldiers stationed there, and a large camp has 300 soldiers stationed there. Including our Xiaoguan, the total number of soldiers in the military camps at various passes, large and small, is probably no less than 20,000. It is said that Guanzhong has a 100,000-strong army in reserve to guard against a sudden attack from the Yong Kingdom."
The soldier disagreed:
"So what if Yong is the hegemon in the Western Regions? Can they even pass Xiaoguan and invade Guanzhong? I've heard that although the Western Regions are vast, the population is sparse. Including Xixia, there are probably only three or four million people. What can such a small population do? We have tens of millions of people in the Great Jin. If everyone spits, it will be enough to drown Yong."
He looked down at the narrow winding road and the mountains below the city wall, and laughed:
"Our Xiaoguan Pass is not so dangerous that one man can block ten thousand men, but it can still be considered a strategic pass. If the Yong Kingdom wants to attack, no matter how many soldiers they have, they will not be enough. To be honest, I am looking forward to the Yong Kingdom attacking. Maybe I can chop off a few heads and become an official for my meritorious service..."
Having said this, seeing that the old soldier did not respond, the soldier could not help but look at the old soldier strangely. He saw that the old soldier had his hands on the awning, looking up at the sky, and his expression seemed a little strange.
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing this, the soldier also looked up, and was stunned.
I saw a huge, ferocious creature hovering over Xiaoguan in the sky. At first glance, I thought it was an eagle, but after a closer look, I realized that it was a terrifying monster that I had never seen before.
"Then, what is that?"
The soldier spoke hesitantly, his voice trembling unconsciously.
As he was speaking, the monster suddenly accelerated and swooped towards Xiaoguan.
As the distance approached rapidly, the shape of the monster became clearer and clearer.
The ferocious head with sharp horns, which looks like a snake but not a snake, and a crocodile but not a crocodile, the long and strong neck, the huge wings like bat wings, and the long and ferocious tail with bone spurs like a meteor hammer, gradually became clear at a glance.
Watching this monster, which he had never seen even in his nightmares, swooping down with the momentum of a meteor crashing into his head, the soldier was so terrified that his whole body tensed up, his back went numb, and he froze in place, unable to move.
The old soldier shouted, "Run!" and grabbed the soldier and dragged him away.
The young soldier finally came to his senses, staggered forward, and fled with the old soldier.
After running a few steps and looking up again, he suddenly discovered that on the monster's back was a rider covered in black armor, with his face also covered by a visor, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
Just as the soldier saw the rider, the monster had already opened its huge mouth with jagged fangs, and a beam of fire burst out of its mouth, which immediately turned into a stream of blazing flames.
boom……
Amid the thunder-like explosion in the air, flames of molten gold and iron dropped from the sky, slammed into the city wall, and instantly engulfed a group of garrison soldiers.
The swooping monster flapped its huge wings, changed from a dive to a level flight, and swept across the top of the city wall three feet away. As it flew, it continuously spewed out turbulent flames, washing the ground from left to right, washing every inch of the city wall with flames.
The soldier saw that the arrogant young general from the royal family tried to escape by rolling and crawling, but after taking a few steps, he and several of his personal soldiers were engulfed by the flames. Only a few short, heart-wrenching howls were heard from the flames, and then there was no more sound.
Some soldiers, seeing that they could not escape, jumped down from the top of the city walls. Some warriors tried to resist, drawing their iron bows and raising their powerful crossbows, roaring and shooting arrows at the monsters.
However, the arrow, which was powerful enough to pierce through armor, only made a crisp sound of metal clashing when it hit the monster's scales that were shining with cold metallic light, and then bounced away without leaving even a white mark.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of explosions continued, and the top of the city was completely engulfed in a sea of fire. The young soldier and the old soldier were ultimately unable to escape the cleansing of the blazing flames, and in endless despair, they were swallowed up by the flames that fell from the sky.
On the back of a flying dragon.
Wang Wu looked grimly at the city wall that had been cleansed by dragon flames, leaving only curled up charred corpses. He gently pulled the reins, and the flying dragon under him flapped its huge wings, tilted its body, and flew towards the interior of the city again.
at the same time.
In the sky, several flying dragons swooped down and, together with the flying dragon under Wang Wu's seat, spewed flames, cleansing the entire Xiaoguan.
Just as the dragon riders launched their attack.
In Liupan Mountain, on the mountain road, an army in iron armor was trotting and marching on foot towards Xiaoguan.
……
Just one day.
In just from early morning to dusk, all the checkpoints and military camps that the Jin Kingdom had carefully managed along the Xiaoguan Ancient Road in recent years had fallen.
There were a total of 20,000 garrison soldiers in many checkpoints and military camps, but not a single one escaped. Some were buried in the dragon's flames, while others, utterly frightened, knelt down and surrendered to the Yong armored troops who had arrived to take over.
There were also brave warriors who wanted to escape and flee to Guanzhong to warn the rear.
But even an elite scout with amazing riding skills who can ride very fast on mountain roads, or an expert in light skills who is good at climbing mountains and crossing ridges, cannot escape the pursuit of the wolf scouts.
There are still not many wolf riders in Yong State.
There are only six thousand cavalry.
But every wolf rider is an expert in martial arts. Even if they are wearing dozens of kilograms of iron armor and carrying a full set of long and short weapons, bows and crossbows, and quivers, they can still move briskly on the mountain trails.
The wolf riders who were responsible for scouting and sentinel operations were all experts in the light skill of "traveling alone for thousands of miles". Wearing only leather armor, the scouts could run at a speed comparable to that of horses galloping at full speed on flat ground even in the rugged mountains and forests.
Under the blockade of the wolf cavalry scouts, the entire line from Liupan Mountain to Xiaoguan Ancient Road was occupied, and no one was able to escape and report military intelligence to Guanzhong.
After breaking through the Xiaoguan Ancient Road, the Dragon Riders did not continue to attack, but began to rest and wait for the follow-up army.
There was no other way. The roads along the Xiaoguan Pass were narrow and rugged, and the heavily armored wolf riders could only march on foot. No matter how strong their endurance was or how fast they ran, they could not catch up with the flying dragon riders.
The ordinary army of Yong State could not catch up with the wolf cavalry.
The six thousand wolf riders, in conjunction with the dragon riders, could certainly defeat or even annihilate the Jin army in Guanzhong, but this amount of troops was only enough for fighting, and could not control the many cities in Guanzhong and stabilize the area. If they did not want Guanzhong to become a mess, they had to wait until the large army arrived and then advance slowly.
The next day, two thousand wolf riders arrived first and continued the attack with the dragon riders, attacking Gyeongju, the capital of Gyeongyuan Road.
In order to guard against the Yong Kingdom, Qingzhou, which was originally not taken seriously, now has a full 5,000 elite troops stationed there.
However, these 5,000 well-equipped elite soldiers were completely wiped out in less than half a day under the joint attack of the Dragon Riders and the Wolf Riders.
After capturing Gyeongju, the Dragon Riders and Wolf Riders continued to rest and wait, while sending out scouts to block the roads and cut off any communication.
a few days later.
The subsequent wolf cavalry and the central army led by Huang Yaoshi and Ouyang Lie arrived one after another, and a 50,000-strong army had gathered in the Gyeongju area.
There are 50,000 troops and a complete team of civil officials in the rear.
This time, Dayong will conquer Guanzhong in one battle and move the capital to Chang'an City.
Of course, with climate change and soil erosion caused by hundreds of years of deforestation and logging, Chang'an and Guanzhong are no longer the bases of hegemony they were during the Han and Tang dynasties, and moving the capital to Chang'an is only a stopgap measure.
When the world is unified in the future, we will have to choose another place to build the capital.
But this is all for later.
Our goal from autumn to winter this year is to completely occupy Guanzhong, withstand the counterattack of the Jin Kingdom, and destroy a large number of Jin Kingdom members to generate strength.
"Our army must occupy Guanzhong within a month. After that, we will clean up the area, measure the fields, distribute the land, stabilize the people's hearts, recruit and train new soldiers, and many other matters. It will take at most half a year. So after the autumn harvest next year, we can leave Guanzhong and destroy the Jin Kingdom!"
Outside the city of Qingzhou, in the military tent, Huang Yaoshi was in high spirits. He slapped the map with one palm. It seemed that with this slap, the entire Jin Kingdom would be reduced to ashes.
A few days later, with the arrival of the rear army and a team of civil officials, the Yong army once again marched towards Guanzhong with the Dragon Cavalry and Wolf Cavalry as the vanguard.
Half a month later, Yong State and Jin State's 70,000 troops fought a decisive battle outside Chang'an City, and all 70,000 Jin troops were wiped out in one battle.
Half a month later, the Yong State took over Guanzhong.
Afterwards, they quickly launched public welfare work such as exterminating the Jurchen nobles, surveying the land, and distributing the land.
With the support of dimensionality reduction-like military force, aerial reconnaissance by the Dragon Riders, and assistance from the Taihua Escort Agency and Taihua Martial Arts School, which the Huashan Sect had operated in Guanzhong for many years, the task of surveying land, which had been almost impossible to complete in the middle and late stages of development in successive dynasties, was now carried out smoothly in Guanzhong.
Huang Yaoshi personally presided over the work. He ruthlessly confiscated houses and exterminated families, cleared and divided the land, and distributed seeds, farm tools and even oxen to poor households in the form of interest-free loans.
The Taihua Escort Agency and the disciples of the Taihua Martial Arts School, which have now spread throughout Guanzhong and enjoy considerable prestige among the people, also assisted the government in vigorously promoting the new policies and severely cracked down on those who spread rumors to mislead the public, resisted the new policies, and plotted rebellion.
After this series of combined efforts, before the New Year, Yong State's rule in Guanzhong was completely consolidated and it gained unprecedented support among the people. Countless farmers' sons eagerly joined the army, and in a short period of time, they recruited another 100,000 new soldiers.
During this period, they also resisted the counterattacks of several reinforcements from the Jin Dynasty, and killed more than 100,000 enemies in total.
Such military might made the people in Guanzhong more stable and they no longer had any rebellious thoughts.
Ouyang Feng did not interfere in either war or governance.
Of course, he didn't do nothing.
Although Yihua Palace has largely moved to a blessed land, in the world of The Two Heroes, it still retains an outer gate for recruiting disciples and purchasing supplies.
The world of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is now in its heyday, and food prices are extremely cheap.
Although it was a time of chaos on Zhao Min's side, the Mongols still had plenty of cattle, sheep and horses.
Therefore, Ouyang Feng asked Yihua Palace and Yang Yuhuan for help to purchase grain in the world of The Two Heroes and the world of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty, and asked Zhao Min to help purchase cattle, sheep and horses in the Mongols. Through the blessed land, grain, livestock and other resources were imported into the main world, so that Dayong would not only not worry about the expenses of war, but also could ignore consumption and use grain, seeds, livestock, farm tools and other resources to win the hearts of the people.
As an outsider, the new Yong Dynasty was able to gain the unanimous support of the people of Guanzhong so quickly, and Ouyang Feng played an indispensable role in this.
this day.
Huang Yaoshi took a break from his busy schedule and came to the paradise again to go fishing with Ouyang Feng.
The two were boating on the sea, fishing and chatting, when suddenly a flying dragon flew past the boat close to the sea surface. The strong wind created by the dragon's wings caused the boat to shake for a while.
Huang Yaoshi looked at the girl on the dragon's back and asked:
"Who is that girl?"
"Zhao Min." Ouyang Feng said, "The Mongolian princess from another world helped us buy a lot of oxen. To express my gratitude, I specially brought her to visit the paradise."
"How can she ride a dragon? What's with the Mongolian princess?"
"She already had a dragon, but I just kept it with me. As for the Mongolian princess... In another world, Mongolia rose to power, unified the grasslands and the Western Regions, and conquered an unimaginably vast territory. Even though it later split into multiple khanates, it was still able to defeat the Jin and Song dynasties, enter the Central Plains, and establish a dynasty called the Yuan Dynasty. Zhao Min was the princess at the end of the Yuan Dynasty."
"A barbarian from the grassland can actually do this?"
Huang Yaoshi was a little surprised, but then he said nonchalantly:
"In our world, the grassland barbarians can't get up."
Ouyang Feng nodded with a smile.
With flying dragons, wolf riders, and firearms, even the Mongol Empire in its heyday would be attacked by the Weijiang, let alone the grassland tribes that have not yet gained power?
"Speaking of which, your paradise is becoming more and more bizarre now. Last time I even saw two giant snakes flying in the sky."
"They are all my mounts. Anyway, I have flying dragons, wolf demons, and natural treasures. It's not surprising to have two big snakes, right?"
"So where have you been? And where did you find those two flying snakes?"
"interested in?"
"Of course. I also want to go to the outer space to take a look occasionally."
"When I unify the world and create a prosperous era, I will naturally take you to travel around. Speaking of which, I have met your daughter, son-in-law, and even granddaughter in another world..."
"Daughter and son-in-law? And granddaughter? Are you kidding?"
"Don't believe it? I'll take you to see it when the time comes..."
