civilization myth empire

Chapter 331 War begins, Scarlet Flame Winged Dragon Air Cavalry!

The map of the entire Total War world is created to imitate the terrain within the civilized territories of both players.

The map is split in two.

The map on the "Chuzhou" side is on the left. First, there is an endless plain area with several large rivers interspersed in the plain.

To the right of the plain is an endless desert, a vast desert with almost no other colors. Through the desert are majestic and steep mountains and rivers, and the golden luster is reflected on the steep stone walls.

To the right of the mountains and rivers is Qin Yu's territory.

It should be connected by imitating the topography of Dongshan. Connected to the mountains and rivers are the forested mountains that used to be densely green, and their peaks are not as high as the mountains and rivers they connect to.

The terrain is from low to high, with forest areas at the bottom and mountains and forests at the top.

After passing the mountains and going to the right is the endless grassland. To the right of the grassland is the Heze Plain, a plain area interspersed by many rivers.

There are sixteen cities in total.

Qin Yu rubbed his chin with his right hand while considering the placement of each city.

He definitely didn't consider the mountainous area. It was difficult to support that place and the transportation of supplies was slow. It was better to save it to delay the enemy.

Therefore, after Qin Yu thought for a while, he placed the four cities of Dongshan on the far left side of the grassland area on the map.

Four cities formed the Iron Four Corners, each of which was fifteen miles apart.

Panhu City is garrisoned by Hu Po and Mu Hu.

In Immortal Valley City, Yuya and Li are stationed.

Star City is garrisoned by Jiang Li, Pan Li and Gu Yi.

Coal City was garrisoned by You Ming and Jie.

After the four cities, there are the four counties and cities of Muzhou, arranged vertically in the east, west, south and north.

They were lined up vertically from the left to the right on the map, with each city thirty miles apart.

A small county town was inserted in the middle as a supplement.

Dongmu County was stationed by Yin Qian and Zhou Tai.

The city of Nanmu County was garrisoned by Mu Yuan, Juan Wu and Juan Yin.

Lin Shi and Han Yu jointly garrisoned Ximu County City.

Beimu County was garrisoned by Shigu and Yao Xian.

The remaining Kyoto, Jinghe, Nanqi, and Yuwen were placed in the Heze Plain at the rear.

The three cities are surrounded by a triangle, each city is twenty miles apart, and Kyoto is in the center, protected by the three cities.

After confirming, Qin Yu silently clicked confirmation.

Then above the light curtain, the picture changed.

The icons of the cities below instantly fell on the map.

[Tip: The locations of the cities on both sides are in a foggy state. If you attack, you need to send soldiers to investigate the location. 】

[Tip: Please mobilize soldiers for each city below. 】

[Thunder Copper Spearmen: 140,000. 】

[Sling Army: 5,000 men (500 catapults)]

[Da Huang’s Crossbow Troop: Three Thousand People (One Thousand Crossbow Chariot)]

[Wizards: Nine hundred people. (More than 8,000 puppets, 100 Daqin thunder artillery vehicles, and 1,500 Daqin troop transport vehicles.)]

[Dragon and Tiger Guards: one thousand people. 】

[Militia: more than 10,000 people. 】

[Dog warriors: more than 10,000 people. 】

[Grizzly Warriors: more than three thousand people. 】

The total strength reaches more than 500,000!

If the total population of Qin Yu's civilization includes the army, it is more than two million people, one-fifth of whom are soldiers.

Among them, one is because of the large population of young adults, and the other is because the militia training camps can provide high-quality soldiers.

The second reason is that various grain-producing areas require a small population but can produce high amounts of grain.

This also resulted in the vacating of a lot of labor force, which Qin Yu was able to raise again. As a result, the army continued to develop violently, creating a miracle of more than 500,000 troops.

This consumes a lot of civilization points and is the result of the joint efforts of dozens of buildings.

With more than half a million troops, Qin Yu quickly mobilized his troops to various cities, and then chose to confirm.

[Tip: The army has been mobilized successfully, please select the city location where you will land. 】

Qin Yu thought about it and chose Nanmu County.

First, Nanmu County is only separated from the four cities of Dongshan, which are adjacent to the enemy, by Dongmu County.

He can quickly and easily receive intelligence from the front line.

The second distance is closer, making it easier for him to command and mobilize the army.

The third Nanmu County City is considered the central area. It is safe after all. You can lead your troops to attack in the front and retreat to protect yourself later.

[Tip: The time of this total war and the main world is ten to one. 】

After confirmation, the light curtain turned into countless light spots and slowly dissipated.

For a moment, Qin Yu's consciousness darkened.

When he woke up again, Qin Yu had already appeared in Nanmu County.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Mu Yuan, Wu Wu, and Wu Yin bowed respectfully.

Qin Yu nodded slightly and waved his hand, signaling the others to get up.

"This is a year-long war, and what I say below will be conveyed to various cities in a while."

"First, the enemy will cross the Dongshan area and launch an attack on our city. We order the four cities of Dongshan to take strict precautions and send more troops for investigation."

"Second, the enemy's city crosses Dongshan and continues to the east. Order the four cities of Dongshan to send scouts to detect the enemy's position."

"Third, there are enemies in this world only toward the east, so cities don't need to worry about other factors."

"Fourth, the army will continue training for one month, and one month later, we will launch an active attack."

"Fifth, send all the earth-boring insects to dig an underground passage from under Dongshan all the way east. The passage should be ten meters wide and five meters deep."

"Sixth, once there is any information, it must be quickly passed on to each city, with priority given to Nanjun City and Kyoto."

Qin Yu waved his hand to signal the end.

After the words fell, several people responded and turned around to convey the recorded orders to various cities.

Seeing the three people leaving, Qin Yu also turned around and returned to his house to rest. He had no intention of launching an army first.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

If you don't even know the enemy's situation and you send troops rashly, then who will lose if you don't lose?

Some people also say that soldiers are very cunning and should be surprised. Soldiers need to be quick.

If it was a normal war, forget it, but now it is a full-scale war.

Both sides knew that a war was ongoing and the enemy could rush out at any time, hence the so-called surprise. Soldiers are expensive and fast, but they cannot achieve positive effects at all.

So now we can only wait.

Waiting for news from the enemy, waiting for intelligence from the scouts.

If the enemy does not move, I will not move.

Anyway, the time flow rate is ten to one. Even if twelve months have passed here, only about forty days have passed outside.

……

……

A full half month has passed.

At this time, in the Dongshan area, armies were shuttled through the mountains.

What's strange is that these troops only wore light leather armor and held something like wooden lumps in their hands.

"Report, the mountain range has been searched and no trace of the enemy has been found."

"Well, establish an outpost immediately to prepare for the arrival of subsequent troops."

"Understood, sir!"

This is an army of ten thousand people.

For fifteen days, they crossed the mountains, reached the mountains and searched the entire range.

This speed is somewhat surprising.

Each of these 10,000 soldiers wore leather armor and held a handful of wooden lumps in their hands. The upper part of the wooden lump looked like a cold and slender iron pipe. The leather armors on their bodies also had many pockets. I don’t know what’s packed inside.

"There was a noise in the west, extremely suspicious, extremely suspicious!"

"The command positioned them as enemy scouts, and the command issued an order to surround and destroy them!"

"Repeat it again, the command headquarters issued an order to surround and eliminate them————!"

Waves of violent sounds that sounded like loudspeakers resounded throughout Dongshan.

Groups of soldiers wearing leather armor and holding wooden sticks quickly rushed towards the west.

"attack!"

"boom--!"

"Bang bang——!"

"Bang bang bang-!"

The soldiers instantly raised the wooden guns in their hands and fired each shot like sharp fire snakes from the dense iron pipe.

"Pfft...!"

"Uh...!"

Several screams suddenly echoed through the trees, and blood splashed onto the surrounding leaves, dyeing them red.

"Sure enough, there are people. The first row goes around from the right, the second row goes around from the left, and the rest follow me and charge forward! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

A man wearing a four-cornered hat, who looked like an army officer, took out two muskets from his waist and rushed towards them with the crowd.

Several figures in the distant jungle had fallen to the ground without breathing.

One of the scouts saw blood gushing from both legs and had lost the ability to move. He yelled at the top of his lungs with his face flushed: "Run! Leave me alone! Run quickly!"

The other two young scouts looked with tears in their eyes at the old captain who had been leading them, their eyes filled with stubbornness as they wanted to carry him away.

The middle-aged man looked at the enemy who was getting closer and closer, and his heart was filled with fear. He took out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it towards the neck...

"Go...send...the information...back."

The hoarse voice sounded as if there was sand blocking his throat, making it impossible to make a sound.

The intermittent words fell. Soon, the middle-aged man lost his breath.

The two teenagers gritted their teeth, supported each other, left, and ran down the mountain.

At the same time, they silently took out two bone whistles.

The sharp sounds kept sounding, which was warning the other scouts around and signaling them to retreat.

……

……

Nanmu County City, County Sheriff's Office.

"My lord, Mu Yuan, pay homage to your Majesty!"

"Please get up, but is there any news from the front line?"

Qin Yu stood up slowly and looked at Mu Yuan with hope.

"Back to the king, the scouts sent intelligence that there were traces of enemies in Dongshan. They were about ten thousand people in size. The weapons in their hands were very strange. The intelligence described them as having an iron pipe inserted into a wooden stick and capable of long-range attacks."

Listening to Mu Yuan's return, Qin Yu couldn't help but look solemn.

"Is there an iron pipe stuck in the stick?"

"Could it be a gun? A firearm? Or a blunderbuss..."

No matter which one it is, the opponent's strength cannot be underestimated.

Qin Yu sighed silently in his heart, fearing that he would meet his opponent this time.

If the opponent is armed with firearms, then most of his troops will be living targets if they charge head-on.

"Your Majesty, the intelligence also mentioned that the opponent does not seem to have offensive intentions, but is preparing to build a camp in Dongshan."

Qin Yu nodded slightly.

This is easy to understand.

The distance between the two parties is very long and transportation is inconvenient. If you want to attack, you must have strong logistics.

The opponent wants to use Dongshan as a supply point for the attack, or an outpost, and uses the base as a springboard to continuously mobilize troops to attack.

Qin Yu rubbed his chin with his right hand, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Order the scouts to continue to pay attention to the situation in Dongshan... Forget it, let the shadow guards be dispatched. The other party's follow-up army will feel the same and immediately pass the information as quickly as possible. .”

"In addition, let the Scarlet Flame Winged Dragon Air Cavalry be on standby in the coal city closest to Dongshan."

"I accept your order!" Mu Yuan responded with cupped hands and then turned and left.

Qin Yu looked at Mu Yuan's back with burning eyes.

Since the other party wants to use Dongshan as an outpost, since the other party has firearms and equipment.

Then he won't attack head on. When the opponent's army arrived, he ordered a fire attack.

Let them suffer heavy losses!

However, in order to prevent the fire from spreading to the grassland, he had to order people to dig isolation strips in advance to block the fire.

……

……

After the last encounter with local scouts in Dongshan, the enemy troops in Dongshan were quiet for seven days.

Three bases, each capable of housing ten thousand people, have been established, and the construction of the fourth and fifth bases continues.

"Master's seat, Commander Cheng's army has now reached the foot of the mountain. The generalisal's order is for three divisions to arrive there and launch a tentative attack on the enemy."

In the wooden house in the center of the base, the adjutant was reporting the situation to the main commander of the operation.

"Send a battalion to pick him up. Although there won't be any danger, you must be polite."

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

As the bloody hand of the empire, he is famous together with the iron wall of the empire.

One is good at offense and the other is good at defense.

If his qualifications were not too low, he would not be just a division commander.

If he can achieve success in this operation, he can be directly promoted to army commander and lead an army alone.

However, there is some difficulty this time. Due to terrain reasons, those heavy weapons cannot be transported. This makes subsequent siege battles likely to become more difficult.

The scouts discovered in the mountains in the past few days made him understand that his opponents were not idlers.

A tough battle awaited him in the area across the mountains.

"My subordinates will send someone to pick up Mr. Cheng."

The adjutant bowed his hands and stepped back.

The man nodded slightly, and then continued to slide the pen on the paper, formulating the next attack plan.
