Sweep the World

When Liu Shen's troops drove to the Penchi River battlefield, the progress of the battle was that the two divisions of the Han army were all on the opposite bank of the river, and there were 20,000 Han auxiliary troops, and they entered the stage of confrontation with the enemy by establishing camps on their backs.

The anti-Han axis coalition forces originally wanted to retreat. The Han army first sent out cavalry to harass, and the infantry of the Han army approached.

The outbreak of the war has entered the 27th day. The anti-Han axis coalition forces have successfully forced the Han army at an absolute disadvantage to cross to the west bank of the Penchi River. They must rely on their numerical superiority to try to defeat or annihilate the Han army.

On the twenty-fifth day, the anti-Han axis coalition forces carried out an offensive that used 100,000 horses, and for a time the Han army was almost approached into the river. Fortunately, the cavalry units of the Han army took risks to attack the anti-Han axis coalition forces. The location of the flag caused problems in the deployment of the anti-Han axis coalition forces that had lost their command, and the Han army was able to stabilize the front.

The cavalry of the Han cavalry who ventured to attack successfully stabilized the battle, and they did bear a high price. Only more than 1,300 remained behind the three thousand cavalry who initiated the impact. Basically even if it is scrapped.

On the twenty-sixth day, Li Kuang faced the more fierce offensive anti-Han Axis coalition forces and had to use firearms that had never been used.

Those were 21 bronze guns with a caliber of 75 millimeters for land warfare, plus about two hundred explosive packs, forcing the anti-Han Axis coalition offensive to be contained, and the war entered the standoff stage.

The Anxi Prefecture does not have many firearms. Twenty-one 75mm bronze guns are all the long-range firearm strike force. The 500 explosive packs in stock consume two-fifths of them in one day.

Li Kuang originally planned to use firearms to give the anti-Han axis coalition the greatest surprise at the most suitable time. The deterioration of the situation frustrated his calculations. However, those firearms can be regarded as being used at the right time, and being able to stabilize the frontline played a key role.

"The big man is really strong!" Ji Hai said happily after knowing the course of the war: "Ten thousand regular soldiers plus 20,000 auxiliary soldiers, against more than 200,000 enemy troops, he didn't feel frustrated at all. , And can hold them in place."

"Anxi Prefecture does not have enough cavalry." Xu Guang is a little older, has a few years of military life, and has participated in wars. He has his own vision: "If there is a cavalry force of about 10,000, the situation will be Different."

"Didn't we have more than 7,000 cavalry here." Of course, Ji Hai knows the role of cavalry in the war: "The number is less, but there will definitely be troops coming in later."

In fact, almost a month later, the center of the Han Empire already knew what was happening on the Anxi Duhu Mansion, and the reinforcements of the Captain's Department of Junji Mountain were the orders of the center.

At the same time, the center that received the report will begin local mobilization on the fourth day. On the twelfth day, troops will be deployed to the Anxi Duhu Mansion. Five days will definitely be the beginning of the battle to join the battle sequence.

The first to be mobilized was the twelve counties near the northwest, and the entire Guanzhong behind was in a state of mobilization. Excluding the standing army mobilized from other places, the number of counties and counties mobilized will reach 160,000, which can be achieved within four months. All arrived at the front line.

Except for the Junji Mountain Captain's Headquarters, a standing army stationed in Guanzhong arrived within one month. In fact, this standing army has already entered the Anzai Dugo prefecture and is included in the shogunate battle sequence of Anzai Dugo. Kuang was placed in the middle reaches of the Congling River, probably near Shache.

The other three standing armies, the slowest one, will also join the combat sequence within three months.

The Han Empire’s first batch of standing troops dedicated to the war would be five if not counted as Junji Mountain’s lieutenant department. They were assigned to 160,000 prefectures and counties, as well as the 140,000 conscripts of the Western Regions under the jurisdiction of Anxi Duhu Mansion. Between 180,000, the total force put into the war as the first batch will reach about 400,000.

This sudden outbreak of war was the first time in five years that the Han Empire used its troops to break through the scale of 200,000 people. There were countless people in the rear who served in the war, and they would definitely not just want to defeat the invaders. It's as simple as the enemy.

It can be said that although the Han Empire was caught off guard by the sudden outbreak of war, it also made the Han people who knew the outbreak of the war furious.

The Han Chinese who have been going from this victory to another victory really did not expect that someone would take the initiative to beat themselves. For so many years, only they took the initiative to attack others. The whole country fell into a state of being bullied, and the voice that appeared was to beat. , Keep fighting, penetrate to the place called Europa, and wipe out all countries that dared to initiate wars.

The military, who originally thought they were going to endure loneliness, was caught in a carnival when they learned of the outbreak of war. They were really afraid of a day without war, and knew that once there was no war, they would lose their value.

Many military leaders have been transferred to civilian positions in the new institutional reform. The military is actually in a state of hesitation, worrying about the military's weakness all the time.

They know very well that once the civilian officials are allowed to raise their heads, they will inevitably form a tendency to suppress the military. If they stop for three to five years, it will be a heavy blow to the military. Perhaps being suppressed will become the norm. Eventually, civilian officials will stand on top of the military and shit. pee.

The war that no one had anticipated broke out so suddenly. To say that the civil official group is an anti-Han axis that beats their chests and scolds something, while the military follows the scolding, but they clicked countless likes in their hearts.

There are calls to penetrate to the end of the Western world. On the one hand, there is a "glass heart" among the people. Is there any military action? They wished that fierce battles broke out all the time, so that their value of existence would not be lowered but increased, so that the soldiers of the military system would have the opportunity to make achievements.

"I heard that the domestic sentiment is exciting." Ji Hai said cheerfully: "When war breaks out, so many countries form coalition forces. The army will definitely expand. How many people have the opportunity to step on the battlefield to gain merits. I don't know how many lords will be produced. , How many people have won the title again, and have been promoted to the title."

The importance of knighthood in the Han Empire is undoubtedly important. The battlefield is where people with no special skills get the best place. Some people will inevitably fall on the battlefield in the process, but for the vast majority of ordinary people, there is a chance It is the most important thing. There is no chance to make people desperate.

Liu Shen himself was in the army and witnessed the dazedness and depression of the lieutenant soldiers who thought there would be no war. He clearly remembered that day when all the soldiers who learned that the war broke out showed ecstatic expressions, knowing that he was going to the front line as if he was rushing to a feast.

"Tutorial." Xu Guang ignored Ji Hai, who was so self-confident, and asked in a low voice after approaching, "Dohu asked if you would like to serve as a defensive team?"

"That's the case." Liu Shen pulled the collar and said with a smile: "My father sent me to the army, which in itself meant to increase my knowledge. How could I give up participating in the war."

Liu Yan really made it very clear when he said goodbye to Liu Shen. After he arrived in the army, Liu Shen could have his own choice. He wanted to be a "good baby" and was purely gilded, or he wanted to experience the real military life if he was unwilling to be lonely. Everything is up to Liu Shen to decide.

That is to say, the status is special, or even the generals do not have the freedom to choose, Liu Shen is still young and does not understand, those generals who have been specially ordered... For example, Li Kuang, who knows that Liu Shen has the right to choose, is surprised at the same time. Very headache.

Of course, if it was really dangerous, Li Kuang would not let Liu Shen come here.

Only Liu Shen came to the battlefield. After Li Kuang repeatedly deduced that he had enough knowledge of the war, it was really not the time when Liu Shen needed special restraint.

Xu Guang stopped talking. He was not a hairy kid anymore, and he knew absolutely nothing to encourage him, and even act as the restrainer when necessary.

Not far away, it looked like Yang Rui was passing by. He looked at Liu Shen and others as he walked.

"The offensive in the afternoon is our first appearance after joining the war." Yang Rui no longer looked at Liu Shen's side, but stared at Qin Song and said solemnly: "What I need to see is the destruction."

In fact, Li Kuang didn’t want the firearms of the Junjishan Captain's Department to go into battle so quickly. The problem was that the shogunate combat sequence of Anzai Dugofu was too tight, and the original cavalry that was a mobile force was abolished. .

The enemy is planning a new offensive. They are camping with their backs on the Penchi River. If it weren't for the pontoon bridge to the east bank behind them, they would play Han Xin's set.

Han Xin's last battle was to let the soldiers know that they would die if they didn't work hard, and to inspire the soldiers' determination to fight to death.

Li Kuang didn't need to do that. He was just worried that it would be difficult to control the battle after the enemy retreats. When the season arrives in the summer, the enemy forces with more detour space will cause big trouble.

Under the absolute superiority of the anti-Han Axis coalition forces, Marus and Erbata negotiated and decided to let the troops of all ethnic groups under his command rotate to carry out harassing attacks on the Han army.

Once the sun rises, every time a large group of small groups of various races began to attack. Basically, they would retreat without even touching the fences set up by the Han army. The attack was not dangerous, but it was for the Han army. Unable to relax.

"Today their reinforcements are here." The expression on Erbata's face was extremely cautious: "Look at the banner, it's the Han army from Junji Mountain."

Marus just knew what was going on. He heard from Elbata that the Junji Mountain Captain was the first branch of the Han Empire's regular army in addition to the imperial imperial guard. Firearms troops.

They didn't know what was special about the Junji Mountain Captain's Department. How could the power holders of the Han Empire attach so much importance to it, but they knew what the firearms represented.

Just a day ago, they caught a mistake made by the Han army. When they drove the Han army from the west bank of the Penchi River to the east bank, the Han army used firearms.

It’s just the firing of 21 bronze cannons. In fact, the number of people killed in the first wave of bronze cannons will definitely not exceed two hundred. However, the 10,000 anti-Han Axis coalition forces that were on the offensive heard the sound of the cannons at that instant. After the collapse, the more than 80,000 anti-Han axis coalition forces waiting to attack behind became even more chaotic.

Even if the Han army counterattacked and used explosive packs, there would never be more than two thousand anti-Han axis coalition forces who died under firearms that day.

"The deterrence is too great!" Elbata kept smiling bitterly: "The death of being hit by the bronze cannon ball is miserable, and the explosive package is even more deadly."

"It has to do with faith." Marus also smiled bitterly: "Those barbarians are determined that it is a means that the gods have mastered. Even Roman citizens who know what is going on, they are in awe and fear in their hearts."

Indeed, even if the current bronze cannon has a bullet, the power of a cannonball is just like that. The explosives that were thrown directly are worse than projectiles in terms of killing. But they really caused a huge panic for the anti-Han axis coalition forces. The main reason is that the anti-Han axis coalition forces have their own religions, and their religions that will not die have many aspects of scaring people and gunpowder. The movement is very similar.

"We know that it has nothing to do with the gods, but it is a weapon made by the great wisdom of the Han people." Erbata said with a sullen face: "But the people are often ignorant."

"Only if we can defeat the Han army that uses firearms, will they end their'mythology'!" Marus stretched out his hand and became shook with Elbata: "We invest in the most elite troops to deal with the firearms of the Han army. force!"

They all know clearly that there is really only one victory, even a trivial victory, but as long as they can defeat the Han army that uses firearms once, even if it cannot completely eliminate the anti-Han axis coalition’s "myth" of firearms, It will make the anti-Han coalition soldiers no longer fear and awe that they dare not face it.

It was noon that day, and there was a gentle sound of "dongdongdong" war drums in the camp of the Han army, and then the sound of drums replaced the sound of war drums.

Marus and Erbata, who had already predicted, heard the sound of a drum set ~ www.wuxiamtl.com~ Even if they had guessed that the Han army would join the firearms, their hearts were still pumping.

The Han army, with very special uniforms, began to leave the camp. They did not have any armor, but were dressed in new-style dark green military uniforms. They carried flintlocks and formed one line after another in their steps.

Liu Shen was in one of the queues, but he didn't carry a flintlock on his shoulder. He held a short flintlock pistol in one hand and pressed the other hand on the hilt of his waist.

On the side of the anti-Han axis coalition forces, various drum horns were also rang.

This time, the anti-Han axis coalition forces came out of the camp first with a patch of red. They were the Roman legions from the far west. After stepping out of the camp, they organized the whole team. Officers kept repeating "the glory of Rome" and so on. if.

The second batch of the anti-Han axis coalition barracks came from Sassanian troops. The cavalry came out continuously from the several gates, then chariot soldiers, and finally foot infantry.

The two armies separated by more than a kilometer seemed to have reached a tacit understanding in an instant, the various drum horns disappeared at the same time, and the rest was absolute killing.
