Chapter 716 Emperor Yao's Southern Expedition 2
It seems that overnight, the spring grass pierced the armor of the earth, and the sparkling ground shines between heaven and earth.
The south is hot and rainy. Yunmengze and the Yangtze River bring strong humidity, and continuous spring rain hangs in front of the soldiers on the ground. Although the robes and armor are always wet, the soldiers are excited and finally survive the cold of winter. They no longer need to worry about food shortage. The supplies in Nanjiao City can be continuously transported to the front line. The game and aquatic products caught by 3,000 soldiers in the fishing and hunting camp every day are almost enough to supply the daily consumption of 50,000 troops. .
Yu Ziyu stood on the earth city at the end of the field of demonicing, looking at the huge army advancing on the bank of the river.
When Di Yao led the expedition last autumn, he was in time for the harvest season of the Yanhuang Alliance. In recent years, there have been serious floods and food shortages. The top priority of all tribes is to sow and harvest. A large number of soldiers returned to the tribe to receive crops, so Di Yao could only lead the standing troops to fight.
After the end of this year's spring ploughing season, Di Yao issued a recruitment order, and the whole country's troops were gathered. All the young and middle-aged men from all tribes joined the army. After the assembly of Shangthorn City, Yi Zhongzi divided them into legions and continued to the front line.
Da Shun transferred 10,000 people from the legion of the Yu tribe, and then Dan Zhu led 20,000 soldiers from the Tang tribe to support his father. Di Yao was worried. When Dan Zhu passed by the thorn city, he ordered Yi Zhongzi to be the leader and accompany his dungry son to the front line. The number of troops under Di Yao reached 100,000.
This is the strongest army in the history of the wilderness.
But Di Yao was furious. According to his expectation, after the national mobilization order was issued, there should be at least 120,000 to 30,000 people. Why did you come to less than 30,000?
He ordered someone to urge Da Shun. After another half a month, Da Shun's report came slowly: "I plead guilty, your majesty sent troops to rebellious, strengthen me, and worship all over the world. However, all the troops were gathered in the Yangtze River, and the Yanhuang hinterland was empty. The Jiuli dragon clan and the three dangerous tribes were ready to move. In order to protect the territory and suppress the four Yi, I specially ordered 100,000 troops to station in the imperial hill for reserve..."
"Pa--" Before Di Yao finished reading it, he fiercely put the silk book on several cases, "Yao Chonghua... detained my army without authorization and wanted to plot a rebellion?"
"Your Majesty..." Ji Kai's face was pale, "In a low voice! Your Majesty, whisper! What is Dashun's plan? It is known to passers-by. Since he has intercepted 100,000 troops privately, no one can do anything about him unless we return to Diqiu.
"Is it possible to let this man sit in the army and watch the old man and the Sanmiao people kill both sides?" Di Yao said angrily.
"Alas." Although Ji Kai secretly hooked up with Da Shun and put a lot of Da Shun's treasure in his pocket, he also knew that the reason why he bribed him was because he leaned on the big tree Di Yao. He thought for a moment and said, "For this purpose, the only way is to destroy Sanmiao as fast as possible, and then return to the division to pay Dashun's military power. As long as our army wins, your majesty will never dare to rebel with the prestige of destroying the country.
Shanghou Qi was calm and advised, "Your Majesty, don't force Da Shun too much at this time. Our army fought and had to rely on him to raise food and fodder. If it angered him and cut off the food and fodder of our army, I'm afraid that our army would collapse without fighting. Ji Li still has 20,000 elites in the eyes of Diqiu. Although Da Shun has detained 100,000 people, his combat effectiveness is not as good as that of Ji Li. We can study books for Ji Li to alert him without asking him to start a war with Da Shun, as long as he can stabilize the situation and suppress Da Shun and dare not move. What else can Da Shun do when we calm down the Sanmiao army division?
Di Yao was horrified and said slowly, "Ji Li is better than Da Shun tactically. Only Xun Gao can be his opponent, but let's not let him go to war. When it comes to playing with conspiracy, he is far inferior. Well, Shang Hou, you can write a book to Da Shun, and when you are in a hurry, you can adjust your joy into Yanhuang to help the battle.
The two important ministers changed their complexion and hurriedly said, "No! Huandou's ambition is comparable to that of Dashun. If the 53,000 dangerous army enters Heluo..."
"What's the hurry?" Di Yao said coldly, "I didn't pass this edict to Huandou, but to Da Shun. The Yu tribe and the Sanwei tribe are enemies in the world. How can Da Shun let in? I just want to tell my son-in-law that if he dares to make a move, I will risk it and let Huandou come in. I'm still afraid of you!"
The two looked at each other in con'ssment and raised their thumbs together: "Your Majesty's divine calculation!"
100,000 troops gathered in the enchanting field north of the Yangtze River. In addition to Yi Zhongzi's Tang Legion as a close guard to Di Yao, the other 80,000 troops took Yao Mountain on the other side as the main attack point and advanced together.
The spring grass is full of vitality, which is a good time to kill and fight.
In the spring and April of the thirty-seventh year of Di Yao, the last battle of the Thirty Years's Battle of Yao broke out. The two legions of Gaoyang and Gao Xin launched a strong attack on the Yangtze River defense line of Sanmiao under the cover of the Godiao Brigade.
The river around Yaoshan is very narrow, but it is also more than ten miles wide. In order to make the big army cross the river, Diyao almost mobilized the large round turtles of the whole Yanhuang Alliance, a total of 500. This kind of spinning turtle has been growing for about 500 years, which is the largest age in the life of the spinning turtle. The turtle's back reaches three feet and can carry ten fully armed armored soldiers.
In order to avoid the shortage of troops on the back of a single turtle, Di Yao specially transferred Teng Gongqi from Yushan and asked him to design a lock, each of the three turtles locked together to form a character shape. On the front back of the turtle, a mechanical arrow tower is also installed. After Siyou's improvement a few years ago, this arrow tower can stretch 30 strong bows for volley shooting. In order to destroy the enemy's warships and coastal defenses, Di Yao also installed a small stone thrower on the backs of ten turtles.
In the past few months, under the supervision of Mr. Teng, the coalition has cut wood and built a total of 50 warships, each of which is standardly equipped with four boatman and ten soldiers.
Di Yao ordered people to build a five-foot-high earth city as the command center on the shore, and he commanded it himself. With an order, five hundred turtles and fifty warships set out together. The turtles were in the middle, and the warships were guarded. There were more than 300 eagles on their heads. More than 5,000 soldiers, as the first wave of attack troops, crossed the Yangtze River and headed for the other side in the dark.
This is the most powerful water combat force in human history.
And the Sanmiao people are much more shabby. There are only more than 100 canoes and more than 50 black turtles on the river, which are distributed on the wide river, bit by bit like a few fallen leaves in the lake. On the boat and on the back of the mysterious turtle are archers, but when they meet such a huge army on the surface of the water, this power is very small. The Gudiao Brigade found from afar, roaring forward, facing the next round of volley, and dozens of people immediately fell into the water.
The rest of the people were still shooting with the Gudiao Brigade. The warship and the spinning turtle slowly pressed over. The character-shaped spinning turtle array entered the range. The soldiers on the back of the turtle hung the bow string and shot in unison. Hundreds of arrowheads covered the past. There was no living thing on the opposite river. Even the spinning turtles of the Sanmiao people were shot through and sank in. In the river.
The whole legion is like an impenetible chariot, rumbling down on the enemy's body. The spinning turtles and warships seemed to be countless icebergs spread on the river, with sharp teeth and fangs, and the black pressure rushed towards the opposite Yao Mountain.
The river bank opposite is a long and gentle slope. Yao Mountain stands on the bank of the river, and the mountain extends to the river, making the shore extremely flat and easy for the army to deploy after landing. This is also the purpose of Di Yao's choice of this place as the attack point. The mission of this first wave of 5,000 people crossing the river is to destroy the defense along the river, establish a beachhead position after landing, and stick to the big army crossing the river.
And the Sanmiao positions on the other side are also waiting. At least 20 stone throwers are facing the Yangtze River, and five phalanxes are ambushed on the top of the gentle slope. In the middle of the gentle slope are ravines, and I don't know what terrible killings are arranged.
Mi Ziyu stood on the demon refining city with Di Yao, looking at the attack of the crossing of the river. The five-foot-high Tucheng is enough to have a panoramic view of the situation on the river. This battle of crossing the river was personally commanded by Di Yao, and there were fifty eagles hovering over the earthen city. The soldiers on the back of the eagle all held the order flag. For every order issued by Di Yao, there were soldiers who drove the eagle to quickly convey it. Di Yao's fire dragon chariot also parked over Tucheng. This dragon car has been transformed by Teng Gong and is full of organs. Once the time is not right, it can join the battlefield as an air fortress.
