As the emperor of the Dayu Empire, the master of millions of subjects, and the commander of an army of 400,000, Zhong Yu had too many things that he needed to deal with.
Therefore, although I was more concerned about the battle situation of the Southwest Route Army led by Sun Jian, I did not devote too much energy to paying attention to it at all times.
I just want to have a general understanding of how the battle will proceed, the outcome of the victory or defeat between the enemy and ourselves, and a general understanding of how the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Army will decide next, so I won’t pay too much attention to it.
Because at this moment, he still has more important things that require him to handle and supervise personally, such as the northwest war zone that he has now arrived.
As the military and political center of the entire Edel Alliance, the essence and capital of the entire alliance are placed here. It can be said to represent the symbol of the entire Edel Alliance, and its importance is self-evident.
Therefore, the attack of the two armies in the northwest has just begun, but they wiped out the barbarians in the southeast and northwest of the southeast area where Zhong Yu's forces were located, and captured tens of thousands of his people.
It was discovered by the tribes in the northwest region who had developed a high degree of vigilance due to the constant wars with the other two major forces. They fought almost every year.
There were so many tribes that there was news of invasion. Due to the long-term war, they had to unite with the surrounding tribes in order to survive, thus forming a very high level of tacit understanding and trust.
They immediately communicated with each other and concentrated their troops on the front line. Under the leadership of the Nuoer tribe, a large tribe of ten thousand people in the south, they organized a line of defense to resist the enemy's attack. This set of actions was very crisp and neat, and was more refined than the barbarians in the other two areas. I don’t know how many there are!
At the same time, a messenger was sent to report to the alliance leader, asking the alliance leader to send a large army to repel and destroy the rebels. Then when the commanders of the two armies, Liu Bei and Yu Jin, led their 50,000 troops to the northwest region.
But suddenly, they discovered that the front line in this area had already been stationed in the entire southern part of the northwest region. Most of the troops, nearly ten thousand people, were stationed there, and a relatively complete set of defensive positions had been built.
The checkpoints were set up in dangerous places, and they were defended according to the dangers. They were stuck in places that the army had to pass through if they wanted to enter the northwest region. The location was not bad, so that the army had to face these checkpoints if it wanted to attack the northwest region.
Otherwise, you will always have to bear the threat of the enemies behind you, and your food routes and retreats can be cut off by their troops at any time. This is something that no large army can tolerate.
Therefore, Liu Bei and Yu Jin discovered very painfully that if they wanted to capture the entire northwest region, no, even entering the northwest region, they had to follow the battlefields planned by these tribes.
Use your own soldiers to push forward with an upright battle, and use the lives of countless soldiers to open this passage. Therefore, when the two found that it was impossible, the two armies directly joined together and led the soldiers together with absolute superiority. Pressed over.
In the early days, when the news of their attack had just reached Edel City, the leader of the Edel Alliance, and the army was still gathering, and there was no time to support them, Liu Bei and his two men directly attacked this line of defense with their superior strength.
I want to see if I can open this line of defense while their strength is only 1/10 of my own, with only ten thousand people. Gain greater advantages for our future northwest strategy and take the strategic initiative.
As a result, after three days of war, the two had to sadly discover that the combat experience of the people of these tribes was completely incomparable to that of the small tribes in the south!
Everyone in the tribal alliance seems to have experienced several years of war, and has extremely skilled combat experience in how to deal with the enemy's attack and defense.
In the face of various relatively special situations, they can also come up with solutions and responses without fear. When the two of them tried all their strategies, they could not find any big gaps that allowed them to gain a decisive advantage.
They could only use some raids to gain some trivial advantages, and it would be difficult to achieve greater results by killing a few hundred of them. The battlefield situation remained in a stalemate.
Until three days later, although Liu Bei and Liu Bei launched a fierce attack day and night, regardless of losses, they consumed countless strategic materials and lost countless soldiers.
Bows, crossbows, sharp arrows, and expensive catapult ladders were fired at high intensity regardless of losses, and many of them were scrapped.
The elite soldiers who usually feel distressed after a few casualties are also rushed to the battlefield in batches, used to fill up the cannon fodder queues for siege in a meaningless manner.
In just three days, the two men who originally had 20,000 crossbowmen were reduced to only 10,000. The remaining 10,000 were scrapped because their crossbows were overused and could not bear it, and they had no choice but to retreat to the rear. Accept replenishment of supplies.
There were only thirty catapults out of the original hundreds, and most of the ladders were damaged. Although the result was a pity, most of the city opposite had been destroyed. It only took a day or two to get it. Down.
But at this moment, the leader of the Edel tribe behind them also rushed over with 20,000 reinforcements, so that the defenders who had been reduced to only 3,000 people due to his side's fierce attack suddenly became more powerful. .
However, due to the three days of attacks, his side lost 30,000 troops, and another 20,000 people retreated to the rear due to serious injuries, unable to participate in the next attack.
Most of the military supplies have been lost, and a large number of powerful equipment can only be replenished by resources from the rear. Morale is low, military supplies are in short supply, and the army is no longer able to launch a strong attack.
We can only camp with a large army, carefully guard against the barbarian attack on the opposite side, and at the same time send messengers and ask for reinforcements from the rear, waiting for the reinforcements that His Majesty the Emperor said before setting off if he encounters a major setback and it is difficult to advance, and he can ask for reinforcements.
Sure enough, after Zhong Yu heard the battle between these two people, he already understood that Liu Bei couldn't capture the most elite northwest area of the Edel Alliance with just 100,000 people. He had to have a steady stream of military supplies behind him. support!
Therefore, he made a decisive decision to lead the remaining 150,000 cannon fodder to the northwest region. He was going to personally meet his so-called alliance leader and how powerful the most elite force in the entire alliance legend was.
He understood that this campaign was not as idle as the forces in the north and southwest regions. They are constantly fighting with each other. It can be said that every tribe is full of contradictions and it is difficult to get together, so there are so many jobs that have surrendered.
Due to the long-term battle with the other two major forces in the northwest region, they have long put aside all their grudges to unite with each other in order to survive, and because of the long-term battle, they have an incomparable tacit understanding of cooperation.
At the same time, because the tribes there are all large tribes, with no one with less than a thousand people, the main gods worshiped by those tribes are also more powerful. If they sacrifice their lives and use their whole bodies as sacrifices in exchange for a temporary increase in power.
With the gift of power from the clan gods, almost all the leaders of the thousands-man tribes can exert their third-level strength, which is a power that only the leaders of large tribes with five thousand people can possess.
And those leaders of large tribes with 5,000 people can temporarily break through the third level and reach a strength between the third level and the fourth level. Without him, thousands of people go to surround and kill, it is almost impossible to win.
As for large tribes with more than 10,000 people, the gods they worship are basically divine beings and can be called demigods. That title can directly show that they are fundamentally different from mortals. It is almost impossible for people to deal with it simply by relying on a large number of people.
The 300,000 luck points left by Zhong Yu were used to deal with this kind of existence that was beyond the norm. Without such a large amount of luck reserves, he really didn't dare to wreak havoc in the Edel Alliance with such fanfare!
