Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Faced with Dayu's aggressiveness, Qin was helpless.

Sudden natural disasters, coupled with several years of man-made disasters, left Da Qin somewhat powerless.

Fortunately, the war agents and wealthy households were powerful enough, otherwise Qin would not be able to fight anymore this time.

After the Qin army arrived in places such as Xingyang and Daliang, Dayu immediately changed his strategy and formed a camp to confront them. At the same time, the cavalry went out in all directions and continued to destroy the rear, harass the grain roads, and plunder the population.

Dayu's army's strategy is obvious, I just want to fight for consumption.

Use your own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses!

Qin's biggest weakness now is food and grass.

This left Meng Ao and Wang Jian helpless. They could only send out cavalry to fight against Dayu's army, otherwise they would really become deaf and blind.

The best thing for the Qin Army is that their chariot formation still maintains an absolute advantage. The combination of chariots, cavalry, and space cavalry can also compete with the cavalry of the Yu Army.

However, the huge loss was somewhat unbearable for them.

On Wang Jian's side alone, two to three hundred cavalrymen were killed every day in battles with the Yu army's cavalry, but how many cavalrymen did Wang Jian have in total?

The answer is twenty thousand.

At the rate of two hundred people killed every day, one hundred days can be consumed, but war does not work like this.

With this ratio, Wang Jian's cavalry will probably collapse within a month at most.

On the other hand, Huang Zhong's troops have a hundred thousand cavalry, and these are just space cavalry.

Huang Zhong's military cavalry and other natural cavalry totaled 50,000.

The total strength of Huang Zhong's army exceeded 500,000, including 30,000 elite Xiang Jiajun.

Ever since Xiang Yan was tricked by Wang Jian in the battle between Bashu and Bashu, she had been grinding her teeth and sharpening her sword all day long, hoping to compete with Wang Jian again.

Although he was under the command of Huang Zhong this time, in addition to the 30,000-strong "Fenglinhuoshan" military formation headquarters, there were also 70,000 people who were included in his headquarters. He was not inferior to Wang Jian in terms of military strength.

Huang Zhongjun's strong military advantage put Wang Jian under tremendous pressure.

Even though Wang Jian's troops had 50,000 Qin Rui soldiers, Huang Zhong's troops were not inferior to Wang Jian's troops in terms of elite numbers, and the other armies had even more.

Wang Jian found himself falling into the most annoying war mode again.

Wang Jian likes to use absolute strength to defeat the enemy, but since he met Yu, he always commanded weak troops.

"For today's plan, it's useless to defend the beam. It's better to eat these 500,000 troops first!"

A bold idea came to Wang Jian's mind.

Wang Jian was in a difficult situation, and Meng Ao was in a similar situation.

Meng Ao was afraid of Dian Wei, because as early as when Lord Xinling led the five-nation coalition to rescue Wei, Dian Wei, who was leading troops on behalf of South Korea and accepting Lord Xinling's command, almost killed Meng Ao.

Meng Ao would inevitably be wary of such a tough guy.

After all, Meng Ao was getting older and had experienced the pain of losing his son. Both his energy and strength were not as good as before. The reason why he is so desperate, apart from his belief in revenge, the most important thing is to leave enough political legacy for his two grandchildren, so that they can become the top leaders of the Qin State without any accident and avenge their father!

Meng Ao's use of troops was very conservative this time. As the disadvantaged side, he did not want to have a hasty decisive battle with the Yu army.

Now he just wants stability.

Under this circumstance, on the eastern battlefield between Qin and Dayu, the main forces of both sides became strangely quiet, and it mainly turned into a battle between cavalry on a large area of ​​land.

Dayu wanted to kill the Qin army's scouts and reduce the Qin army's space for movement; the Qin army could only passively fight and occasionally fight back; but in general, Dayu still took advantage.

After repeated pressure, Meng Ao directly decided to give up this meaningless consumption. The army was stationed at Sanhuang Mountain, north of Xingyang and backed by the Yellow River, integrated with the navy; at the same time, he divided his troops to guard Xingyang.

Meng Ao's operation made Dian Wei blind.

After such an arrangement, the Qin army not only became a dominant force, but also backed up the main water transport route and had no worries about the food route; more importantly, the Qin army here could take advantage of the naval force to maneuver at any time, which could not only reinforce Wang Jian's position. You can retreat at any time and come and go as you please.

After Dian Wei attacked Xingyang several times and failed to lure Meng Ao out, he was so angry that he could not do anything.

He didn't even dare to take the initiative to attack the main force of Meng Ao's army.

Dian Wei knew very well that there was no problem in protecting people or charging to the death, but if he really had to command hundreds of thousands of people in battle, he really didn't have that ability. Cheng Yu, who merged with him, didn't dare to say that he had the ability to command on the battlefield. Can be stronger than Meng Ao.

To put it bluntly, Cheng Yu is a counselor and can also work as a general, but when it comes to command and decision-making on the battlefield, he may not be as good as Dian Wei.

There are specializations in the art industry, and everyone's areas of expertise are ultimately different.

But the two of them together are enough to deal with Meng Ao.

"General Dian, the battle of Nanjun is about to begin. It is impossible for the Qin army to increase troops here. Just leave Wancheng to General Taishi. Let General Le lead the attack county by county! I will order South Korea Mobilize the whole country and use all the troops to regain the old land of South Korea; at the same time, let the Prime Minister allocate some space troops to come over!

If the Qin army avoids fighting, just avoid fighting. We will block here, dig deep fortifications, and hoard food and grass. Instead of fighting a decisive battle with the Qin army, we will just attack the city and plunder the land. If the value is low, we will take away all the people. I want to Let's see if Meng Ao can watch everything here turn into a white field! "

The cunning Cheng Yu resorted to a naked conspiracy, but this conspiracy was even more sinister than the conspiracy.

"good idea!"

Dian Wei rolled his eyes and said: "It just so happens that my Bainiao and Quege also need to recruit talents. Zhongde can send people to select talents among the people who have been saved, and let Le Jin and Tai Shi Ci also participate."

"That's how it should be!"

Cheng Yu smiled while stroking his palms.

Cheng Yu plays with corpses all day long, so there is no need for talents, but a smart man like Cheng Yu keenly grasped the key point in Dian Wei's words - Que Pavilion!

it is more than words.

The elites in the workplace deserve to be the elites in the workplace!

Cheng Yu resorted to conspiracy, and the uncomfortable one turned into Meng Ao.

If the land is saved and people are lost, both people and land will be lost. Of course Meng Ao understood this truth, but he couldn't help it.

Meng Ao was as steady as an old dog, unmoving, but secretly mobilized troops and horses to use waterways to support Wang Jian.

Meng Ao saw clearly that if it was just defense, one hundred thousand elites would be enough. In this case, it was better to let Wang Jian open the situation first.

After Wang Jian received reinforcements, he immediately arranged a decisive battle with Huang Zhong's army.

However, the reinforcements of Wang Jian's troops were discovered by Huang Zhong's troops. No matter how provocative Wang Jian was, Huang Zhong's troops refused to fight.

Even though Huang Zhong had 500,000 troops under his command, the strategic goal was consumption and containment, and Huang Zhong was not in a hurry.

In fact, due to the previous fierce battle with Meng Ao's troops, Huang Zhong only had to hold back the Qin army this time, and he would have achieved his strategic goal.

As for the temptation to defeat Wang Jian...

Huang Zhong had already figured it out. Since Xu Chu defeated Wang Jian, wouldn't it be nice to beat him up when he saw Xu Chu?

He thought he still had the ability to beat Xu Chu!

As long as he is stronger than Xu Chu, isn't he stronger than Wang Jian?

In fact, there are many people who have similar ideas to him. Even Zhao Yun, who has a stable personality, can't help but want to compare with Xu Chu.

Who makes Xu Chu's words like "dog crawling" so annoying? ——

While the elite soldiers and generals of Da Yu and Da Qin were fighting wits and courage on the front lines of South Korea and Wei, Zhuge Liang's troops had already begun fighting with the Qin army.

Zhuge Liang almost followed the route of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition in history. The main force was based in Yingdu (Jiangling) and moved up the west bank of the Han River. Relying on the Han River navy to ensure logistics and retreat, the army calmly marched towards Deng (Xiangyang).

The partial division Yue Fei's troops marched along the east bank of the Han River, aiming directly at Deng's rear, which would later be the location of Fancheng.

The minimum strategic goal set by the cabinet was to capture Yancheng. However, for Zhuge Liang, who was independently commanding a large army in operations for the first time, and Yue Fei, who was eager to make enough contributions and grow into a general who could independently command a large army in operations, the cabinet The strategy is too conservative.

For them, if they can't even defeat Deng, then what's the point of fighting?

Their lowest goal is to capture Deng, and the best is to capture Wancheng.

The goal has been set and the morale of the entire army is high.

Whether it is Zhuge Liang or Yue Fei, their military training abilities are first-rate.

The Zhuge Liannu Soldiers and Wudang Flying Army, which are natural soldiers trained by Zhuge Liang, are already very formed and powerful. There are also certain breakthroughs in Zhuge Liannu, but they still lack runes, so they cannot reach the level of Zhuge Liannu produced in space. Penetrating power, but the advantage is that it can be mass-produced, without having to fight a war and consume millions or tens of millions.

Not only that, the training of crossbowmen is not as troublesome as that of archers, so many Zhugelian crossbowmen are part-time as flying soldiers.

In addition to the Wudang flying army, Zhuge Liang also trained troops such as sudden generals, Wuqian, scattered cavalry, armed cavalry, and chariot troops, as well as a large number of siege equipment.

Zhuge Liang's ability is outstanding in all aspects. The cavalry may not be strong enough, but there are no obvious shortcomings. The ability of the infantry is even more incredible.

The most important thing is that he is extremely good at arranging troops, can freely switch among various formations, and has strong command ability on the battlefield.

The troops he trained are naturally very comprehensive in all types and will not have obvious shortcomings in war.

Yue Fei is also a general who is very good at training soldiers and horses. His elite infantry and cavalry are solid heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, but they are also good at running and are brave and fearless.

The two armies came out together, and there was a sudden rumbling in the city approaching Qin.

Because the map is too big, attacking Deng can only be a long-term plan. At this stage, we have to go south to Yan City first. And blocking Yan City are the cities on the west bank of the Han River, Quan, etc., and there are structures on the east bank of the Han River. Mushan, Qiu, Zou and other important places.

In addition, there are also a large number of small cities scattered around, including those of agents of war.

Dayu's army, which had prepared a large number of siege equipment, launched a crushing attack on small cities along the way, but encountered resolute resistance in large cities and strategic locations.

The Qin general Wang Lu who was responsible for the defense of Nanjun was not a simple character. The center of the Qin State had anticipated Dayu's attack on Nanjun, so he carried out strongholds to clear the country early, strengthened city defenses, built camps, and deployed heavy troops at important locations.

The Qin army almost completely adopted the strategy used by the Yu army when they besieged the capital of Ying.

However, the Qin army was short of food.

The key towns on the front line are better off, as they have at least three to five months of food reserves that can last until the summer harvest; but it's hard to say in other places.

Besides, even if we persist until the summer harvest, will we definitely be able to receive much food?

Originally, Dayu had carried out various production sabotages many times. Coupled with the bad year, at least one-third of the fields were deserted. Even if the remaining fields could be successfully matured, who could guarantee that Yu Jun would never come back? Woolen cloth?

Under this situation, Nanjun, Nanyang County and other places were actually unable to provide much food support for the army.

With insufficient food and grass, Wang Lu's army had to disperse and eat. Except for the important frontline towns, the rest were concentrated in Yancheng, Dengcheng and other places.

Under this background, Wang Lu really didn't dare to go deep into the front line to fight against the Yu army. He was afraid that he would be dumped because of lack of food and grass.

Although Wang Hao is not afraid of fighting the Dayu Army head-on, the Dayu Army's defensive capabilities and maneuverability are also really strong.

Wang Lu finally decided to ask for help while searching for food and fodder, and concentrated his troops from comprehensive defense to focused defense. As long as Guanzhong can support a certain number of soldiers and enough food and grass, he will dare to attack again.

Wang Hao chose to retreat strategically, and few cities besieged on the front line could survive until the summer harvest.

But when the summer harvest season came, Dayu's army used its old tricks again. The space cavalry was sent out for free, regardless of the loss. They would rather kill eight hundred enemies and lose one thousand themselves than let go.

It is the most unexplainable thing to hurt people with your own nature.

However, except for Dong Huang, the top management of Dayu, who regarded the space soldiers as human beings, the others really only regarded the space soldiers as cannon fodder.

This made Wang Lu miserable.

Fortunately among the misfortunes, the Qin court, which had suffered so much for the people in Guanzhong, finally managed to squeeze out a large amount of food and reinforcements.

Unfortunately, due to weather and other factors, the grain harvest in Guanzhong this year is also not good.

But no matter what, the food is coming.

But a new problem arose again.

At this time, Zhuge Liang's main force had already entered Yan City. The cities and camps of the Qin State to the west of the Han River and to the south of Yan City were either captured, or after being trapped in isolation for three or four months, they were persuaded by Qin State's surrender general Xiahou Fa and others. Surrender.

To the east of the Han River, Yue Fei's troops have also captured the city of Fucheng, which is not very strong.

Knowing that there was nothing he could do to save his life, Wang Hao voluntarily gave up on Yancheng.

In Wang Lu's view, Yancheng was indeed worthless to defend.

Yancheng was originally an important town in the Chu State, with a dense population and strong city defenses. However, it was flooded by Bai Qi, causing hundreds of thousands of casualties. Many places are still haunted by ghosts.

Nowadays, the population of Yancheng is less than one-tenth of what it was in its heyday, and there have been examples of flooding in the past. Yancheng is undoubtedly a dead place.

Strategically, there is nothing wrong with abandoning Yancheng. As long as the front line of Dengcheng is defended, Qin will still have a strategic advantage in the direction of Nanjun.

However, after easily obtaining Yancheng, it had extraordinary strategic significance for Dayu, because it marked the completion of the "Nine Songs" mission.

Dong Huang received the news that the mission was completed in the underground tunnel.

[Temple Mission—Nine Songs Completed.

The level of the war agent's temple has been upgraded, and the Zhurong temple has been upgraded to level six; with the permission to "confer gods", the war agent can confer priesthoods on his subordinates as the human emperor.

Due to the identity of the war agent Donghuang Taiyi, the war agent can enshrine the gods as follows:

1. Five Emperors: Taiyi’s assistant is called the Five Emperors;

2. Lord Dong, Moon God, Star Lord, Yunzhong Lord, Xiang Lord, Mrs. Xiang, Da Siming, Shao Siming, He Bo, Soul Lord;

After the war agent's subordinates are consecrated as gods, they can automatically obtain the power, attributes, and authority represented by the priesthood.

The strength of the divine power of the deified god has nothing to do with the qualifications of his subordinates, but is related to the strength of the power and the specialties of divine authority. The stronger the power, the more people have pious beliefs, and the stronger the divine power condensed by the consecrated gods. The divine power of the gods can be integrated with the strength of the deified person, but they do not affect each other.

After becoming a god, the god will be integrated with the power of the totem. Soldiers can choose totems engraved with gods with different attributes to obtain bonuses that are more in line with their own strength attributes.

When gods and their armies fight in personal war spaces and mission space territories that have been occupied for more than ten years, their strength is doubled; when they fight in mission space territories that have been occupied for more than three years, their strength is increased by 50%; when they fight against hostile forces, their strength is not reduced. But divine power cannot be replenished! 】

This good news immediately shocked Rhaenys.

"Master~~~"

Rhaenys stuck out her tongue coquettishly.

She is a smart woman, and the more she sees how powerful Dong Huang is, the more loyal she becomes.

Now he is so loyal that he hides his treacherous intentions throughout his life.

Dong Huang just stroked Maeve's hair, digesting the good news.

He knew that it must be Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang who took action.

Dong Huang was very happy for his subordinates to make their own decisions.

He only cares about what kind of victory his subordinates can bring him!

Zhuge Liang, Yue Fei and other troops who had been victorious all the way were also very happy, but they knew very well that the Qin army's current retreat was just to fight a defensive counterattack in Deng.

Zhuge Liang was not afraid and continued to advance with Zhao Yun as the vanguard.

Yue Fei's troops and Zhuge Liang's troops formed horns with each other and moved forward steadily.
