Daqian's territory consists of three Yunlu Islands separated by tens of thousands of miles, so maritime transportation is developed.
Once the fleet division is defeated, there will be hundreds of millions of soldiers in the vast sky, and useless supplies will be useless.
An army of several million people will be trapped and die in southern Xinjiang.
It's just that Zong Shou had planned to completely drain Da Gan's blood in the southern part of the Central Cloud Continent, so naturally he couldn't have nothing to rely on.
Daqian's cloud ship master already had the power to compete with Dashang at this time.
The problem is that after decades of accumulation by Dashang, the nine-tooth giant ship is enough to be as big as twenty ships.
Although it is a cloud ship, it can compete with some low-end earth-level battleships.
"No need to worry about this matter! Gu has sent an order for Shi Ruolan to lead nine Taiyi Divine Thunder Ships and six Nine-Year Star Breaker Ships to come at the same time. There are also forty other airships—"
He originally did not dare to do this and transferred most of the fleet guarding Tianfang World away.
However, just about ten days ago, the Shura clan had delivered the ten Taiyi Divine Thunder Ships ahead of schedule. Yi Lingsu, the commander-in-chief of the former Jiudu Xianting, finally decided to become an official for unknown reasons. He even persuaded many prisoners of war soldiers from Jiudu Immortal Court who had been manning warships all year round.
The pressure on Daqian Xianting was greatly reduced, and it was finally possible to extract some of its power and feed it back to Yunjie.
-Fifteen near-top-level earth-level battleships, plus an unparalleled general, are more than enough to suppress the great merchants.
Everyone in the hall was refreshed and relaxed. If this biggest problem is solved, then even if Da Gan fails, the foundation should be preserved.
All we need to do is block the sea of clouds so that the merchants cannot land in three places. So even an army of hundreds of millions will not be able to exert force.
Qiu Wei is not so optimistic. How can the three religions of Confucianism, Demonicism and Taoism be underestimated
Before the war in the Cangsheng Firmament Realm, the three religions were firmly among the top three in the Cloud Realm.
The depth of accumulation is unimaginable to the world. Even at this time, Cangshengdao and Jianzong cannot match it.
Even if Shi Ruolan returns, the two sides will only be evenly matched in terms of strength at best.
"So, the envoy of Qiu Yuan has concluded that Dachang will definitely attack Dagan in the near future?"
"Obvious thing! It's just a matter of time-"
Qiu Wei answered without hesitation: "Just half a day ago, the Military Intelligence Department of the Privy Council received news from the Imperial City. It was said that Emperor Yuan Chen had sent an edict to summon the military forces of all vassals and towns to prepare for the saint's decree. , in the name of punishing the crime, I personally marched on the expedition! So I am very lucky that your Majesty can come back in time."
Ren Bo frowned, Dashang's attack was expected by him. However, this news has not been heard yet.
"So how many soldiers and horses do we estimate there will be? And when will they invade our Dagan territory?"
"About two months! If Confucianism and Taoism press us, it might be faster!"
Qiu Wei pondered for a moment, but he was still confident.
"Dashang now has fifty-three continents, with a total of more than 370 provinces. Each province has a governor's office, and the army is raised depending on the amount of tax. The quota ranges from 100,000 to 300,000. Logically speaking, they are all of the third level. War soldiers, but the roots of the Great Shang Dynasty have long been rotten after 1,800 years, and it is considered normal for the army to have empty soldiers. Moreover, the army in the mainland has been at peace for a long time, and its combat power is weak. "
Everyone's hearts sank slightly, and now they truly realized what a behemoth Dashang was.
Even if the great merchant generals take up their quota and reduce 30% of their military strength, there will still be a huge army of at least 30 million or more!
The difference is more than ten times greater!
No matter how weak their combat power is, this number alone is already astonishing.
"Southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains are separated by a horizontal mountain range. The mountains here stretch for thousands of miles and the terrain is rugged. It is difficult to deploy an army, it is difficult to pass, and it is even more difficult to supply. Unless sufficient space treasures are used, it will be difficult to supply an army of millions .”
This is also the reason why Dashang has been unable to capture southern Xinjiang for thousands of years.
Zong Shouze smiled bitterly, I am afraid that the three religions of Taoism, Confucianism and Demonism can really obtain enough space treasures to supply tens of millions of food and clothing.
Fortunately, there are already signs of chaos in Dashang. It is even more necessary to defend against the many barbarian Hu tribes in the north and west. According to Zong Shou's estimation, the limit of Dashang's mobilization should be between 10 million and 15 million, all of which are third-level soldiers.
"The key to this battle is still the Taoist soldiers! The 300,000 Taoist soldiers of the Great Shang were all wiped out in the Cangshengqiong realm. Only 40,000 imperial guards were left to enter the fourth level. However, this time there is oppression from the Confucian and Taoist sects, and those aristocratic families The vassal town will definitely participate in the war. Together, the two dozen families have 200,000 Huang-level Taoist soldiers and 50,000 Xuan-level soldiers. However, although there are many people, they are a mob. A battle with the wind can be a great victory. If the situation is unfavorable, the families will surely Maintaining strength is the first priority.”
Zong Shou nodded slightly, which was one of the reasons why he was still not afraid even though he knew there was a six-fold difference in strength.
Just focus on one family first and fight, which is enough to easily defeat the more than 200,000 Taoist soldiers who seem to be outnumbered.
"The most fearful ones are the three Taoist Demon Confucian sects. The Taoist sect's 50,000 purple lin flame spears and cavalry were not seriously damaged in the battle in the Heavenly Demon Vault Realm. There are also about 18,000 Heavenly Demons left in the Heavenly Demon Vault Realm. War cavalry. We have not tried our best before, but the number of Xuan-level Taoist soldiers mobilized this time should reach more than 30,000! The other sects are unpredictable. Although they have suffered heavy losses, they still have a strong foundation."
"And the day before yesterday, I only had three million third-level soldiers that could be used in southern Xinjiang. There are also 40,000 Tiangang Sword Soldiers, 20,000 Tiangang Red Crossbowmen, and nearly 30,000 Blood Cloud Cavalry."
Everyone was silent. Whether it was soldiers or Dao soldiers, the difference in strength was more than six times. The situation was so bad that even the famous generals from ancient times would find it difficult to win, right
Zong Shou watched from the throne and couldn't help but shake his head. The huge power of the great merchant actually caused the morale of his ministers to be so low.
But it's no wonder that if it were him, he wouldn't be able to do so easily if he didn't hold a crucial trump card.
Knowing that the word "people's heart" cannot be ignored, Zong Shou smiled slightly.
"Before returning from Cangsheng Qiong Realm, Cangsheng Taoist Lord Wei Xu and Sword Sect Sword Spirit Palace Master Ling Chen personally promised to Gu that they would send all their Taoist soldiers to Gu's command."
Qiu Wei's eyes were slightly bright, and he was filled with joy: "In this way, I might have a slight chance of winning!"
It was expected that Cangshengqiongjing would stand with Daqian. Jian Zong also made a big bet so early, but it was an unexpected surprise.
Whether it is the Cang Sheng Xuan Long Shi of the Cang Sheng Dao or the Wei Yang Sword Rider of the Sword Sect. They are all famous in the Yun Realm, and even famous in the outside world. They are the top Xuan-level Taoist soldiers.
There are mountains and swamps in the southern border area. If the plan is good, Dachang Kong will be able to have a huge military force, but it will be difficult to deploy. This resulted in a battle between the elite and the elite, and one battle could determine the outcome. He trusted Zhang Huai's wisdom and Kong Yao's ability to control the battle situation to the extreme.
However, everyone's eyes were directed towards Kong Rui, who was at the end of the queue.
Apparently he thought Qiu Weizhi's words were not as useful as this person's words.
Even Ren Bo and Qiu Wei themselves looked forward to it.
This great official, Si Tianjianzheng, was a man of great ability. Kong Rui laughed dumbly and shook his head: "The celestial phenomena have been artificially disturbed, and it is impossible to predict the bad luck for the time being. Even if he can infer such a major event, Kong Rui cannot I dare not say anything. Kong Rui does not dare to bear the crime of revealing the secrets of heaven—"
Even with the money from King Wen's hexagram in hand, he did not dare to take a look at Zong Shou's fate at this time, but raised his head and looked into the void outside the hall. A huge red cloud can be seen, seeming to be gaining momentum.
The clouds inside are rolling, and the shapes of dragons and phoenixes are looming. The situation has been established and no one can change it.
Even God is on Zong Shou's side. The living holy king is naturally protected by heaven and earth.
Thinking of those academies, those arrogant Confucian scholars who intercepted the emperor today.
Kong Rui was slightly cold, but it was a pity that he couldn't have another bet with Chongxuan.
"However, although there is no certainty that this battle will be unlucky, Kong Rui predicts that there will be no serious problems for me in this battle."
Everyone looked relaxed, as if they had taken a reassurance, and even showed a bit of joy.
Zong Shouze was a little unhappy. Why did he feel that the prestige of the king of his country was not as good as that of Kong Rui
But there was nothing he could do. Who called Si Tianjianzheng his own father-in-law
"Since Qiu Yuan's envoy Yu Kong and his supervisor have said so, I feel at ease about that."
Ren Bo leaned over and saluted with a solemn expression: "The six departments of my cabinet will go all out in this battle! The Qiantian army will never have to worry about food and clothing."
"Please, please worship Concubine Kong as your commander-in-chief!"
Qiu Wei also bowed at this time and said: "Please also request an order to recruit all martial arts spiritual masters of the third level and above in Qiantian!"
No training, no formation drills. It won't be useful for a while, but it is more than enough to suppress the country.
As an envoy of the Privy Council, Qiu Wei is very clear about how huge the potential of Qiantian's country is at this time. The prosperity of martial arts and spiritual arts can be said to be the highest in the entire Yunlu.
Many ordinary people had to work hard to help them climb up from the bottom of warrior spiritual masters step by step. There are also many people who gradually reveal their outstanding cultivation talents.
Most of these people are grateful to Daqian. They may not be able to fight to the death, but most of them can be loyal to Zong Shou.
Zong Shou raised the corners of his lips and flicked his sleeves. There was a man from Zhongshushe who wrote the memorial for him.
It was completed in a moment and was about to be stamped. Outside Qiantian Mountain, there was a bang.
At the same time, there was a roar from the Yin Dragon. Zong Shou raised his eyebrows and looked outside. I saw several corpses being thrown in.
"Zong Shou! In these two months, I will make sure that you cannot eat well and have trouble sleeping! In two months, it will be the anniversary of your death, Zong Shou, and the end of the Great Qian!"
After saying that, the voice burst out laughing again, and gradually the energy disappeared without a trace, "This person is the Blood Saint Demon Lord—"
Kong Rui seemed to recognize this voice and his pupils shrank.
Ren Bo looked at the corpse on the ground with a look of heartache.
"It's the prefect of Xuancheng and the garrison of Yancheng!"
He didn't recognize the rest of them. But just from their clothes, it can be seen that they are officials from various places in Daqian.
When all the ministers in the palace heard this, their faces turned pale. His expression was filled with hatred, but he was helpless.
Zong Shou is also livid, a strong man in the holy realm!
At this time, Daqian seemed to be in turmoil.
