Chapter 395 Spreading the message to the world
"Now I have more than 100,000 troops in my hand, but there are only 20,000 to 30,000 remnants on the opposite side. It is not difficult to win."
Thinking of the current situation in Dongjiang Province, Zhong Yu couldn't help but nodded.
Sure enough, he waited for half a year in vain, and finally got such a good opportunity.
If when Zhong Yu first came to this world, when the Demon King of Huangshan had just emerged, the power of the court had not been exhausted, and both sides had enough energy to start an incident, it would definitely not be as easy as it is now.
In the past six months, when the two sides fought the most fiercely, each had more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and there was a steady stream of reinforcements arriving. It can be said that protracted wars can be fought, and frontal battles can also be fought. It is not so easy to deal with of.
Relying on Zhong Yu's 110,000 soldiers alone, although it is not impossible to suppress both sides, the final result is not very good. More than 100,000 people can leave 20,000 to 30,000. There is a Huangshan Demon King The treatment is pretty good.
You must know that human beings are always experts in fighting internally and amateurs fighting externally no matter what time they are.
If Zhong Yu had taken the lead at the beginning, the army representing the imperial court would definitely regard it as the primary target and suppress it mercilessly.
It doesn't matter if the Yaozu grab some territory, because the court knows the reputation of the Yaozu and the fundamental racial differences, it is impossible to annex too many territories of the court, and it will be a high incense if it can grab a province.
But if it is replaced by a human race, it will be different.
The same race, strong strength, and the reputation of saving the people from the fire and water will definitely attract a considerable number of people to join them, which will likely shake the foundation of the imperial court's rule. It's a real serious problem.
On the other hand, in order to avoid variables, the Yaozu will choose to suppress it first, or just sit on the sidelines and plan to be a fisherman.
However, now that he has been a turtle for half a year, he sits and watches the Yaozu and the imperial court fight to the death, and in the end both losers, and a peace agreement is reached after a powerless struggle.
In the end, there were only a few remnants and defeated generals left on both sides, and the total number of troops was only 60,000 to 70,000, so there was not enough strength to stop Zhong Yu's aggression.
Now that the plan has been decided and the preparations are sufficient, the event will be accomplished.
...
Shenyuan year. (Zhong Yu's first year in this world counts, saying that Shenyuan is a symbol of his determination to become a god and immortal. This world will definitely break through the eighth-level limit.)
Not long after Zhong Yu took control of Hecheng County, he mobilized 100,000 troops to conquer the demon clan in the north, and issued a call to arms to several surrounding provinces, enumerating the Ming Dynasty's bad deeds of betraying the human race and its incompetence in defending the land. He was brutally slaughtered by the demon clan.
He also reprimanded the Yaozu for their audacity, daring to invade the territory of the human race, and committing unforgivable sins. This Northern Expedition must drive out all the monster races to show that the glory of the human race cannot be offended.
After this proclamation spread to the surrounding four provinces, it caused shocking waves.
Although the Ming Dynasty was at the end of the dynasty and gradually saw the signs of decay and turmoil, no matter who it was, whether it was inside or outside the Ming Dynasty, they believed that the Ming Dynasty should be destroyed by the hands of a neighboring powerful country.
As for the other ordinary rogues, even if they gain momentum for a while, they are not opponents of the imperial court.
There's a huge difference between the two.
The imperial court has a real immortal sitting in the town, with such incomparable power that it can destroy hundreds of miles around with a wave of hands, and wipe out a hundred thousand troops with one blow.
Even though ordinary rogues have fifth or even sixth ranks, they are nothing compared to eighth rank immortal gods.
So when the people around saw this proclamation, except for a small number of people who showed anticipation, most of them took it as a joke, as if they saw a jumping clown.
However, those who have this kind of thinking are all provinces other than Dongjiang Province, which have not been affected by the Yaozu disaster.
In the real Dongjiang Province, whether it is the state capital in the area controlled by the Yaozu, or the county in the area controlled by the imperial court, the eyes of the people at the bottom are brightened, and they are looking forward to this rebel.
These low-level people have had enough of the suffering of the monster clan. Because of the appearance of the monster clan, not only their tax revenue has increased several times due to the frequent payment of the army, but their lives cannot be guaranteed. From time to time, small groups of monsters cross the border and go deep into the world. The hinterland kills and loots the population.
After the expected imperial army disappointed them and reached a peace agreement with the Yaozu, they no longer had much trust in the imperial court.
Especially in the four eastern prefectures, the survivors of the Ming Dynasty who fell into the hands of the Yaozu, the hatred for the Ming Dynasty can be said to be difficult to wash away.
Under such circumstances, a person suddenly appeared and said that he would lead them to drive away the demon clan and rescue them from the fire and water. It was predictable what would happen.
It is indescribable to eat a pot of milk to welcome the master, and the places he passes are full of wind and scenery, and people continue to come to seek refuge.
In particular, Guide Mansion, where Chengxian County is located, is in the same area as the army, and because it is in the rear, the demon forces here are the most vulnerable.
Let me talk about the distribution of the Huangshan Demon King's troops here.
As I said before, there are only 30,000 demon soldiers left in the Demon King of Huangshan, and the strength can be weakened.
Under such circumstances, he had to defend and control a vast area, but also guard against the attacking forces of the Ming court on the opposite side.
Among the 30,000 demon soldiers, 15,000 were distributed at the front line to guard against the imperial court's attack. Once again, 10,000 people were stationed in Guidefu City, sitting in the center to support the surrounding areas.
The last 5,000 people were distributed among the remaining five counties, with one thousand troops stationed in each county, no more and no less.
Such a thousand people are naturally enough to deal with the counties whose elites have been exhausted and consumed on the battlefield.
But it would be a joke to face the 100,000 troops rushing towards them.
The call to action was released on the same day as the expedition. After all, this is a war, and the emphasis is on speed and efficiency. It is impossible to spread the word all over the world before the war, saying that I will fight you and make you ready, and then Let's fight again.
This is brain damage, not to mention wasting time for nothing, but also destroying the livelihood of the people in the combat area and compromising one's own strength, which is not acceptable to the wise.
Speed battle is king.
It was only three days after the expedition, because they were all troops with internal strength, they traveled extremely quickly. It might not be enough to travel thousands of miles in a day, but it is completely feasible to travel hundreds of miles or even farther.
On the way, the vanguard of the army passed through the two counties of Xiayi and Yucheng. There were very few defenders in the county, no more than a thousand people. In addition, the defense at the back and rear was extremely negligent, and they won in one battle.
Amidst the cheers of the people in the city, the troops belonging to the human race stepped into the two county towns again and restored the ruling power of the human race.
