From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 308: Zhao's Song State

The arrival of the envoys of Yan State in Tang State was both unexpected and reasonable to the Chang'an court.

In today’s East Asian continent, excluding the Turpan Kingdom, which has been completely crippled by civil war, the Jiedu warlord of the melee in the south, and the Korean Peninsula, which bowed to Anlu Mountain in the country of Yan, Ming Tang and Yan are the most powerful tripartite forces. All bordered.

After the Ming army captured the northwest region, the situation of the three kingdoms formed a delicate balance.

However, Richard’s battle in Liangzhou completely broke this balance. Let alone the Tang court, even An Lushan didn’t expect Richard to use a mere 20,000 troops plus an invulnerable giant monster to defeat more than 100,000. The army of Jiancheng!

Since the Ming army can break the fortified city once by relying on giant monsters, it will naturally be able to break the second and third times...

Moreover, after the Ming army quickly moved south to capture Shanzhou and Huizhou, the situation in the Ming and Tang Dynasties has been reversed, and to outsiders, the Ming is strong and Tang is weak!

Now that the country of Yan bears the main force of the army of green-skinned orcs going south, Anlu Mountain can't deploy an army to attack the northwest region under the control of the Ming country. Naturally, he is unwilling to watch Tang collapse under the attack of the Ming country.

Therefore, An Lushan had a plan to unite Tang against Ming.

The Chang'an court, who was worrying about how to resist the Ming army, grandly received the envoy of the State of Yan. The two sides quickly reached an offensive and defensive alliance. Tang was able to withdraw all regular troops from the border of the State of Yan with peace of mind. At the same time, the troops deployed by the State of Yan on the border of the State of Tang were also affected. Draw it out and use it to fight the Ming country!

The news of Tang Yan's alliance between the two countries soon reached Richard's ears. He was busy taking over Shanzhou and Huizhou. Richard, who was busy checking the fields and looting his home, had to order the Liangzhou army to stop the offensive.

The northwest region has completed the alleviation of land and debt, and Richard has used it as the source of the new army. Once the Yan army suddenly enters, the order and economic production in the northwest region will be severely damaged immediately!

In order to stab Ming State with a knife, An Lushan drew out all the more than 30,000 field troops on the Tang-Yan border and prepared to march towards the northwestern region of Ming State.

At the same time, the more than 30,000 regular troops of the Tang state joined nearly 20,000 defending the south, forming a 50,000 army and hurried to Chang'an City.

In order to resist the Ming army's attack, the Chang'an court not only transferred all the regular troops on the border between Tang and Yan, but also mobilized most of the warlord's regular troops from the south to prepare for self-reliance, leaving only 10,000 people scattered over the vast line of defense.

This behavior of the Tang state is very dangerous, because after these years of wars and mergers in the southeast coastal area, two military groups have been formed. One is the Song State established by the Zhao family of the southeast tribe, and the other is still fighting against the Tang State. The court’s courtesy made the alliance.

The Song Kingdom of the Zhao clan in the southeast coast used the method of combining, vertical, horizontal, long-distance and close attacks, greedy and annexed most of the self-supporting Jiedu, and He Xiaoban was still loyal to the Tang state, thus forming a dominant situation.

The remaining junctures in the south made the warlords not fools. After discovering that their power alone could no longer stand against the Song State of Zhao’s, they immediately gathered under the banner of the Tang State and did not mention self-reliance. They hugged and united into a military alliance. Resist the invasion of Zhao's Song Kingdom!

The reason why the Song Kingdom of the Zhao family stood out in the chaos of the South was because they took the lead in using black powder in actual combat, or used it on a large scale!

The four great war weapons of muskets, thunders, thunderbolts, and fierce oil tanks have made the Southern Great Tang dynasty suffer a lot from time to time!

The blasting gun is the most primitive firearm driven by black powder. Simply put, it is a long hollow tube filled with black powder at the back and projectiles in the front. After the black powder is ignited, it can rely on the propelling force generated by the violent combustion. Shoot the projectile.

Due to the poor airtightness, the range is naturally very catty, which is not comparable to the bow and crossbow, but it has a huge advantage. The ability to break armor is super strong. Within ten meters, even heavy armor can't be guarded!

This invention was specially developed by the Song Army to deal with the heavy-armored assault teams under the command of each section. The effect was very good. The Song Army was also the first army to defeat the heavy-armored troops with ordinary soldiers!

The sky-shaking thunder is a primitive grenade filled with black powder. It can be called a weapon for defending the city. A large number of sky-shaking thunders are dropped during the city defense battle, which can not only effectively attack the morale of the enemy, but also kill and wound a large number of enemy siege personnel.

The people who were wounded and killed by the thunderbolt were very miserable, and many of the troops of the Jiduzhe were defeated by the thunderbolt!

The Thunderbolt Artillery is a primitive artillery, and it is also the first artillery to appear on the East Asian continent. Its performance is extremely poor, but because the enemy does not even have the most primitive artillery, miraculous effects are often played on the battlefield, especially during siege wars. , Often a few shots can scare the soldiers of the defending army to a moral collapse!

The fierce oil tank is an original flamethrower filled with oil, which is generally used by the Song Army in water battles~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Almost all the Song Army warships are equipped with the fierce flame tank.

Because there is a lot of water in the south, there are branches of rivers extending in all directions. Whoever controls the rivers can quickly mobilize troops and materials to most parts of the south, winning a considerable active advantage in strategy.

The Song Army’s fierce oil tank used a large number of flame jets to burn enemy warships during the battle against river battleships. Often, the resistance of the enemy warships could be disintegrated without boarding the battleship. It was the first time in the cold weapon era to realize the warship’s non-compliance. Contact victory!

Because the flame of the fierce oil tank contains a large amount of oil, it is difficult to eliminate ordinary water sources after being sprayed on the wooden battleship. Therefore, the Song army quickly controlled the control of the entire southern waters with the fierce oil tank, and took advantage of the maneuvering advantages of water transportation. Hit less, siege the city and plunder the land, the effect even surpassed the first three!

These four weapons of war made the Song army never disadvantaged, and gradually gained an absolute upper hand in the south, forcing those undesired jundus to force the warlords to continue to fight under the banner of the Tang Dynasty and protect themselves...

It was precisely when Tang Guo saw this situation that he dared to deploy a large number of regular troops on the southern line of defense to defend against the invasion of the Ming army. In Tang Guo's eyes, those Jiduzhe warlords under the banner of Tang were natural barriers.

Originally, Tang also wanted to intervene in the fighting in the south to prevent the Zhao family from sitting in the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately, the invasion of the Ming army forced Tang’s aid to be withdrawn...

You know, without the support of Tang, the southern Jiedushi warlord would have been swept away by the Song Kingdom of Zhao!

At that time, there will be a Song Kingdom that can fight against the Chang'an court in the southeast coast!

However, when the Ming army invaded the Central Plains, Tang drew back his energy and joined forces with Yan to fight against Ming, allowing Song to see an opportunity again.

When the Central Plains, the Northwest, and the Land of Yanyun were about to fight, the southeast coastal areas became chaotic again!
