The great merchants sent out a large army of [-] to attack Xuncheng.
November eighteenth.
morning.
The army arrived at the city of Xuncheng.
Siege that day.
Sure enough, Xuncheng's defense was much worse than that of Gancheng, and the moat was only half built.
Let the big business army be excited.
Another siege began.
It's a pity that Li Yi has already been here in advance. A total of 150 top masters, more than 1000 high-level elites, and various top-level and high-level equipment have been upgraded, which cost a total of more than 70 points of power of faith.
Moreover, in the past few days, Li Yi used golden carvings to bring back some top experts from Calabash Valley, and they all entered Xun City.
Xuncheng's high-end military power even surpassed that of Gancheng, and with the addition of a large number of soldiers from Qinglongzhai, it was naturally difficult for the conquest army of the Great Merchants to capture it.
However, Li Yi's miraculous means cannot be concealed from Qinglongzhai.
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for him to treat the injured soldiers in Qinglong Village, and he would feel sorry for letting him watch a large number of wounded soldiers die in Qinglong Village.
Furthermore, what should we do in the future?Have been hiding it?
When it is made public later, there may be a feud.
With Qin Wan around, Li Yi didn't want to be like this either.
At this time, his strength is far from being comparable to that at the beginning, and it is time to make it public to a certain extent.
Therefore, Li Yi officially told Qinglongzhai that he was indeed the "Prince of Heaven" descending to earth.
Then, some miracles were performed on the spot, which shocked all the high-level officials in Qinglongzhai.
"It's no wonder why Daqian has developed so fast," the military strategist of Qinglongzhai sighed, everything can be explained.
"I, I have found a prince of heaven to be my son-in-law," Qin Yang murmured even more in a daze.
In the future, if this Prince of Heaven returns to Heaven and ascends to the position of Emperor of Heaven, will he be the father-in-law of Emperor of Heaven?
The pie was too big for him to think about it.
However, with Li Yi's performance, the people in Qinglongzhai were also very excited.
With the prince of heaven standing on their side, what are they afraid of?
Injured, the Prince of Heaven can heal them!
If they die in battle unfortunately, it is not considered a complete death, the soul can enter the Netherworld, and the Heavenly Court holds the Nine Heavens and the Netherworld, and they have the prince of the Heavenly Court as the background, so they are afraid that they will not get along well in the Netherworld?Reincarnation, you can also choose a good family!
All of a sudden, the morale of the soldiers in Xuncheng reached its peak.
After thousands of people were killed and wounded under the city of Xuncheng again, the leader who commanded the siege of Dashang had to order a retreat, and at the same time his face was very ugly.
In his opinion, Dagan's strength is ridiculously strong.
It is hard to imagine that this is a force that has grown in a year or two.
"Could it be that the other party has been secretly developing for many years?"
The big business leader couldn't help but guess in his heart.
Next, the big merchants' conquest army encountered another problem.
Transport team!
With 30 elites, the food and grass they need every day is also an astronomical figure!
The food and grass they carry is only enough for them to consume for a month.
According to the plan, the grain and grass transportation team in the rear also arrived at Baiyue.
However, the group of golden eagles in Daqian is a big threat. Which transport team can withstand the use of explosive kits every night?
Decentralized transportation is only to reduce losses.
But all in all, the losses are enormous.
For a while, the leader of the entire conquest army also had a headache.
The war fell into a stalemate for a while.
Li Yi is not in a hurry.
The fire in the Hengling Mountains could not be extinguished for a while.
Before that, it was very difficult for the great merchants to do anything to the people of Calabash Valley. At most, they guarded the outside to prevent the people of Calabash Valley from going out.
The people in Gourd Valley have already dug holes in Gourd Valley, diverted rivers, and so on.
If the fire really reaches Calabash Valley, there is a high probability that nothing will happen.
The biggest danger is actually that after the fire is extinguished, it will be much easier for Dashang to deal with the exposed Gourd Valley.
However, then I don't know when it happened.
In the territory of Dashang, the troops arranged by Li Yi were attacking Dashang's cities every day. Although some cities were quickly recovered by Dashang's army, the number of newly captured cities was constantly increasing.
The chaos in Dashang is increasing every day.
Now, it depends on who can't support it first.
At this time, the power of faith that Li Yi gained every day had reached [-] points.
Chapter 2 Upgrade Li Ling!
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of December.
The new year is coming.
Li Yi's power of faith also exceeded 60 again.
Every three days, Li Yi would go to the territory of Dashang to use a long-term healing technique on those top cavalry.
Those cavalry not only had to gallop across the territory of Dashang to attack the city, but also to deal with the enemies of Dashang that might appear at any time in the territory of Dashang. They had to maintain sufficient mobility and physical strength, otherwise, the three hundred cavalrymen would be defeated little by little. The military power of the big merchants has been worn out.
Even so, 27 of the [-] god horse soldiers have fallen.
Li Yi selected 27 people from the people below, and made up for [-] cavalry again.
For three hundred top figures and three hundred horses, each of them needs to spend [-] points of power of faith to use the long-term healing technique. Once every three days, it is [-] points of power of faith, which is a lot of money consume.
This is not counting the many times Li Yi treated the wounded.
If it wasn't for these consumptions, after a month, Li Yi could gain more than 80 more power of faith.
If it weren't for the large-scale siege of the city, allowing a large number of new people to believe in him, and allowing Li Yi to gain a lot of power of faith, so much power of faith would be a pure loss, which shows how terrible the consumption of war is.
At this time, in the territory of Dashang, there were more than [-] cities that Dagan had conquered but not recovered.
In each city, Li Yi upgraded about [-] mid-level subordinates, about [-] junior subordinates, plus a small number of senior subordinates, maintaining the people in each city to worship his statue every day.
The force of these subordinates is enough to manage tens of thousands of people in each city.
But against the army of big merchants, it is not enough.
Therefore, many cities are recovered by big merchants every day.
The main reason is Li Yi's strategy, to prevent the subordinates in the city from going head-to-head with the enemy. Once they find out that the enemy is stronger, they immediately hide their identities on the spot, turn from light to darkness, and secretly develop believers, so as to prepare for future great generals to attack again. prepare for.
Even so, the number of unrecovered cities captured by Dagan is still increasing every day.
The strength of the three hundred top cavalry is too strong, coupled with their strong mobility, they capture more than fifteen cities every day. The reason why Shang Dashang has ordered the state soldiers to be stationed in the city and has placed explosives on many city walls.
Otherwise, their siege speed would be many times faster.
Look at the beginning, when Dashang was unprepared, Dagan sent only thirty cavalry, and he was able to take down ten cities in one day and one night, how big the difference is.
However, as the flames of war spread, more and more military forces in the territory of Dashang were involved, and their actions were far inferior to the three hundred top cavalry in Dagan. Gradually, the military forces in the territory of Dashang became weaker and weaker. The city has been recovered.
The further you go to the back, the faster the number of cities captured by Dagan who have not been recovered will increase.
December thirty.
The power of faith that Li Yi gained this day has reached more than 7000 points.
Gancheng and Xuncheng are still firmly guarding.
However, the situation in Dashang showed signs of gradually collapsing.
Every day, the leaders of the conquering army who besieged Gancheng and Xuncheng in Baiyue would receive an imperial decree from the capital of Dashang urging them to suppress bandits, which put a lot of pressure on the generals on both sides.
Last time, the two leading generals of Dashang's Western Expedition Army were still waiting for their fate. They also vaguely heard about the situation in Dashang's territory. Where are the two leaders of the army going?
On the Great Shang Dynasty Hall.
"Siege and not attack! Besiege and not attack! Besiege and not attack all day! There are only 200 million bandits in the area, at least 30% are old and weak women and children. A city that has just been built for a few months, plus a city that has not yet been built Surrounded by [-] elite soldiers, there's nothing you can do? Haha! All my soldiers are so poor?"
Emperor Hongwu had smashed an unknown number of porcelains, and laughed.
In fact, it is normal for a big war to last for a year or so.
What's more, the Baiyue war has only started for a month.
The main reason is that the situation in Dashang is getting more and more serious. Every day, at least fifteen cities are being captured. This makes Emperor Hongwu's nerves more and more tense.
"Your Majesty, the only solution for now is to focus on the Battle of Baiyue. The Battle of Baiyue cannot be defeated. As long as the Battle of Baiyue is won, the lost cities in the territory can be recovered easily. Listen to General Wei Yuan's report, Surrounding but not attacking is indeed a safe strategy.”
A minister bowed his hands.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, if you lose your land, you will gain it. If you lose your land, you will lose your land. It is nothing if some cities in the territory are breached. The actions of the thieves will not harm the people in those cities. , Therefore, we don’t need to rush to regain those cities, but should concentrate as many troops as possible to encircle and suppress the enemy.”
"Your Majesty, you may be able to drive other forces"
Some ministers said one after another.
The first day of the first lunar month.
A message is sent from Dashang.
The Baiyue forces within three thousand miles of Gancheng and Xuncheng must supply food and grass to the large merchant army in Gancheng and Xuncheng. The big merchants can buy it at three times the market price of Baiyue. Was conquered by the great merchant army.
Dashang's 30 elite soldiers have already surrounded the bandits in Gancheng and Xuncheng, and they will break through the city and wipe out the bandits within a few days. Anyone who has the power to participate in this battle will get 100 taels of silver for each bandit he kills. Women and children are not limited.
Even if a bandit is not beheaded, every ordinary soldier sent will be given ten taels of silver, and elite soldiers will be given 30 taels of silver.
Because the Flying Eagle was sent to send a message, the order spread extremely fast.
In just two or three days, it spread in Baiyue.
The Baiyue forces were both shocked and angry.
Some time ago, Dashang just tricked them, and now they are so forcefully persecuting them?
Do you really think Baiyue's power is easy to bully?
The Great Merchant established the country for a hundred years, and only agreed with the major forces of Baiyue in times of war and non-war, but failed to conquer Baiyue. Now, do you think that the forces of Baiyue are easy to bully?
However, it has to be said that the combination of radish and stick is easier to use in many cases.
Some Baiyue forces were moved.
Some time ago, the things that Dashang did were really tricky, but the reputation of Dashang was still good.
Buying grain and grass at three times the market price is a huge profit, not worse than exchanging with Dagan some time ago for divine horses and legendary heaven, material and earth treasures.
The earlier you do it, the earlier you take advantage.
Because the materials on the market are also limited.
What's more, those who don't follow will be punished by the big business army?
Dashang has 30 elite soldiers, and many Baiyue forces can't imagine, what a powerful force this is!
Surrounded by such a powerful force, is there really a way out?
At this time, if they participate in this war, will they still make a fortune for nothing?
"Is this a dog jumping over the wall?"
After receiving the news, Li Yi shook his head slightly.
It has to be said that the big merchants have many advantages. In terms of threatening the surrounding forces to deal with the enemy, the big merchants have a great advantage.
