Chapter 939 Time flies (1)
If there is anything worth Liu Lang's idea in the first half of the 25th year of the Kingdom, it may be that the priest army launched an eastern expedition as it once did in time and space.
Before the New Year, the Duchy Army, which had arrived in Yunjinzhou and gained a foothold, held a meeting to combine civil war with national war, prepare to fight against the Black Hawk Empire and expand the size of the troops.
Yes, the Black Hawk Imperial Army mobilized troops more and more frequently in the northern three states, not only did the king of the royal capital feel huge pressure, but even the Duchy Army in Yunjinzhou became increasingly certain that the entire kingdom was inevitable in battle with the Black Hawk Imperial Army.
Where will the skin be attached? It is obviously inappropriate to treat the king's king's king's king's king's king's king's king's king's king's king's biggest class enemy. Because of different opinions, the two brothers had to break in with swords and try to kill the whole family and then talk about other things.
In order to develop and strengthen itself and have enough strength to resist the Black Hawk Imperial Army that was about to invade the north, the Duchy Army, which had just gained a foothold, resolutely chose to cross the river and expedition eastward.
The one who crossed the Jiangning River, and the one who conquered was naturally Ling Pizhou. Shi Naiyuan, who was the Caotou King in Ling Pizhou, was naturally not a good thing in the eyes of the Duchy Army. Of course, it was the best to overthrow his rule.
On February 17, the King of the Principality personally issued a declaration of the Eastern Expedition, and the army of the Eastern Expedition entered a state of war. On February 20, an order was issued to cross the river. The 28th Army of the Principality Army was restored to its organization. The 15th Army had a total of more than 10,000 troops divided into three teams on the left, center and right, and crossed the Jiangning River from the area along the Jiangning River to Ling Pizhou.
The bunker arranged by Lao Shi along the Qianli Jiangning River was broken by one blow. The equipment of the Duchy Kingdom army was given by Liu Lang and the dense machine gun firepower made the defending Wang Guojun instantly think that he had been attacked by the Central Army.
Overnight, the army of the Duchy of Eastern Expeditions landed several cities, defeating Lao Shi, who was full of confidence, almost doubting his life.
In March, the Duchy's army captured Weiping County. Several supreme leaders gathered in Weiping County except for Yun Gong who stayed behind to raise supplies, preparing to pursue the victory and head to Heyuzhou to fight against the Black Hawk Empire frontline.
But Liu Lang knew that the idea of the Duchy Army was good, but the rulers of Ling Pizhou would never be willing to throw away a large piece of his territory like this. He would not let go of the important land of Zejiuya, a valley. Not only would he be able to defend heavily, but he was already a little panicked and asked for help without integrity. According to the war report, the Central Army of the King's seven divisions drawn from Fuyang City, Yanjiang Prefecture, Wubin City and other places had already boarded the train and was about to enter Ling Pizhou.
Next, the Duchy Army faces not only tens of thousands of Kingdom troops, but also tens of thousands of Central Army equipped with more powerful equipment than the Kingdom troops. It is conceivable that the difficulties they will face. At this time, the losses will be reduced a lot.
Half a day after secretly discussing with Zhang Ruhao in the regiment headquarters, Zhang Ruhao secretly sent Yun Gong the last party to tactfully convey his and Liu Lang's opinions. However, the front-line command of the Duchy Army still launched an attack plan that it had already formulated.
Perhaps because the equipment was strengthened, although the Duchy Army did not achieve its expected strategic goals, the Kingdom Army did not gain any advantage. After a fierce battle for a day, both sides withdrew from the battlefield and returned to their position before this battle.
Faced with the surging enemy forces, the Duchy Army divided the main force into three teams. The Central Committee led the Red 28th Army to continue to fight in the west of Ling Pizhou. The 15th Army led the troops north and headed straight into Guancheng to restrain the main force of the Kingdom Army. The camera advanced into Suiyuan and Southern Luzhou to fight against the Black Hawk Empire front line. The 1st Army went south to Hedong, mobilized the masses, divided the troops, and advanced into Heyuzhou to fight against the Black Hawk Empire front line.
Liu Lang was once again amazed at the ability of the Duchy Army to take the mass line. From mid-March to the end of April, he raised 400,000 yuan in just over a month, expanded more than 7,000 people, organized more than 20 local guerrillas, and established more than 20 townships and village principalities.
By late April, the 15th Army met with the headquarters in the west of Ling Pizhou. From March 18 to late April, the 15th Army marched northward on March 18, and lasted more than a thousand miles to fight in the northwest of Ling Pizhou. It not only effectively restrained the main force of the Kingdom Army, cooperated with the strategic actions of the Duchy Army on the southern front, and covered the 28th Army's crossing the river battle, but also in Jinzhong, the vast area northwest of Ling Pizhou mobilized the masses and actively raised funds to expand the redemption, laying the foundation for the Duchy Army to cross the east to fight the Blackhawk Empire and establish the northwest territory of Ling Pizhou.
What made Liu Lang most amazing was not just the military victory of the Duchy Army. Yun Gong, located in the rear, reached the "stop civil war and jointly fight against the Black Hawk Empire" in Jingkui County and Shaoshuo, who was secretly envoyed by Mr. Li in Jingkui County to reach "stop civil war and jointly fight against the Black Hawk Empire" not enough to make Liu Lang stunned, because the moment the Duchy Army crossed the western plateau and arrived in Yunjinzhou, the two rulers of the Northern Army and the Northwest Army had already had that tendency, and now it was just a natural result.
What made Liu Lang feel most incredible was that when the king's Central Army was still plotting how to kill the Duchy army, Lao Shi had a secret talk with the Duchy people he contacted through various channels...
Lao Shi didn't want to fight anymore. At the invitation of this famous warlord leader, he dispatched seven divisions into Ling Pizhou, who was ambitious to hurt the Duchy army in one fell swoop, probably wanted to vomit blood at that moment.
Captain Liu, who had experienced these things personally, finally realized that he was too immature in front of these bigwigs. The completion of the united front of the Black Hawk Empire was not only a patriotic and enthusiastic wishful thinking, but also a fist was necessary. Liu Lang's wisdom of the founders of the Principality can only be described as a shocking admiration.
In May, the Duchy army returned to Yunjinzhou, and the Duchy king personally issued the "arrest agreement and power-up for unanimous fight against the Black Hawk Empire". The 117-day Duchy army's victory in the Eastern Expedition ended.
This battle not only played the battle prelude to the army under the leadership of the Principality to rise up to resist the Black Hawk Imperial Army's invading army, but also laid a historic foundation for the Principality to use Ling Pizhou as a strategic fulcrum for the battle behind enemy lines in the early days of the war against the Black Hawk Imperial Empire. It is definitely a strategic victory.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Liu Lang just became a bystander this time and did not take any action, but this time, they did even better than before.
Before the old blood was sprayed out by the ruler of Ling Pizhou, the king had time to spew out, on June 1, an incident that shocked the whole country broke out.
The two major warlords in Jiangxincheng Xizhou, under the name of "Fighting the Black Hawk Empire Movement", attacked the Central Army under the leadership of the king. This incident launched by the two major warlords this time is essentially different from the "Yuan Taicheng Incident" launched by General Cai Jin and others.
They were more of their own interests. What was more serious was that they disrupted the kingdom's efforts to reorganize their troops in preparation for a total war with the Black Hawk Empire Army. The huge manpower and material resources spent by the 400,000 Central Army to move south made all those with knowledge heartbroken.
This time, under the persuasion of Liu Lang who entered Mo City overnight, Liu Wei stood firmly on the king's side and issued a statement to support the kingdom. The kingdom has no time to prepare, and he cannot waste more time because of personal interests.
Under the command of the Central Army's army, the command of the big boss Chen, the warlord of Jiangxincheng, surrendered one after another. Jiangxincheng was defeated without a fight. The weak Xizhou also chose to negotiate with the mediation of all parties. In September, with the sincerity of the king's personal visit to Ninghecheng, the big boss and the king, the sworn brothers, reconciled again and ended the confrontation.
Liu Lang also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the kingdom could finally prepare for the war a year before the arrival of a full-scale war with the Black Hawk Empire Army. Although Boss Li had a rift with the king, he still showed the courage he should have as the leader of a state in the face of the danger of the country and nation.
