Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1797: The Sun Kingdom mobilizes troops, and Abaoji temporarily retreats
The autumn harvest season is passing by and winter is approaching.

I still remember that last winter, a snowstorm in the north directly led to the great battle at Tianlang Pass.

And this winter is also destined to be a restless winter.

Of course, this unrest is actually good news for Wang Yu.

This unrest was the unrest of other people, but Wang Yu was happy to watch the show there.

Dongyi!

When winter came, Yelu Abaoji finally decided to withdraw his troops.

They came in great force, but in the end they only captured seven or eight cities. Compared with the cost, this gain can be said to be a lot.

The reason why Yelu Abaoji retreated was not because he could not fight any further.

Even with Meng Tian's 100,000 troops, he was still the one with the advantage in terms of military strength.

However, this winter, a major incident happened in Dongyi, forcing him to withdraw his troops!

The Sun Kingdom, an existence that they had never cared about before, actually sent troops.

Yes, they had never cared about the existence of the Sun Kingdom before.

After all, there were only a few words describing the Sun Country. However, judging from those few words, it was not that powerful.

The Dongyi people only fell into decline later on, as they had once been glorious.

The Great Emperor Shenwu swept across the countries, rejected the Dongyi, conquered the Xirong, conquered the Nanman, and expelled the Beidi. The four barbarians at that time were equal in status. However, because they were equal in status, they were qualified to join forces and reached an agreement to unite and fight against the Emperor Shenwu.

Although they are in a state of desolation, they still have the pride in their bones and look down on a small country that exists in just a few words.

Even though the Sun Country had previously created a group of pirates, and it was obvious at first glance that some of these pirates had traces of regular troops among them, it was still not enough to attract their attention.

They never expected that these daring guys would actually dare to attack them, and attack them so suddenly.

Therefore, precisely because there was such an additional enemy, and this enemy showed extremely fierce fighting power, Yelu Abaoji did not want to let the Dongyi take the risk of fighting on two fronts.

Although they were able to gain some advantages over Wen Zhong and Meng Tian, ​​they were unable to achieve any crucial results and could only maintain a stalemate. Considering all these factors and the pros and cons, Yelu Abaoji could only make this choice.

As the rare monarch of the Sun Kingdom for thousands of years, Songxia Ao is not inferior to those in the Apocalypse Continent in any aspect.

When he felt that the opportunity had come, even if it was a little hasty, he must seize this hard-won opportunity.

In the previous battle with Guo Ziyi, although the manpower sent to the north of Dongyi and Dacang had been basically destroyed, Songxia Ao had already learned the situation in this area that he wanted to know.

This is enough.

In short, Dongyi and Dacang are now in a rare state of division and weakness.

If we don't take action now, then when will we wait?
And the target chosen by Panasonic Ao was undoubtedly Dongyi.

There is no other reason, it’s because Dongyi is weaker!

Especially from the news he received, Wang Yu, who was just one of the forces in Da Cang, had once broken into the capital of Dongyi and forced Yelu Abaoji to fight with all his strength.

The most crucial thing is that the Dongyi people are still in confrontation with Wang Yu.

Therefore, even though Panasonic Ao was not fully prepared, he still sent troops.

Yes, he was not fully prepared, and it could even be said that this expedition was extremely hasty.

It will take a long time for the news from Da Cang and Dong Yi to be transmitted back to the Sun Country. And it will take even more time for Songxia Ao to organize such a large-scale battle!

If we really want to prepare carefully, it is absolutely impossible to send troops this winter. Maybe it will be enough if we give them another half a year!

The reason why Panasonic Ao fought so hastily was to seize the opportunity.

After all, it is too difficult to transmit information from the Sun Kingdom to the Dongyi. What if the war between the two sides is over by the time he is ready, or the other side has finished fighting by the time he is halfway through his expedition? Wouldn't he be embarrassed?
Even if we are not well prepared now, we must send troops as soon as possible and give Dong Yi and Wang Yu a powerful stab in the back while they are still fighting.

Even before the troops that Matsushita Ao Lian was going to fight had been fully assembled from all over the place, he had already sent out his vanguard troops, heading towards Nanping Road, the closest place to the Sun Kingdom in Dongyi.

Among the Dongyi, Zhongping Road is the political and economic center, and Beiping Road has abundant mineral resources and rugged terrain.

As for Nanpingdao, it has a developed sea salt production as well as developed handicrafts and manufacturing industries. Nanpingdao is also the place with the highest military industry level in the entire Dongyi.

Don't think that the four barbarians have no military and industrial capabilities.

In fact, taking ancient Blue Star as an example, if you study it carefully, you will find that the level of development of weapons and equipment of ethnic minorities is no worse than that of the Central Plains dynasties in some aspects, especially since the Liao Dynasty.

The most typical example is the Western Xia, which was able to use advanced cold forging technology to create a variety of powerful armor and weapons. For example, the wart armor worn by the Western Xia cavalry had very strong protective capabilities and could withstand the shooting of strong crossbows. In addition, the weapons such as the catapults and Western Xia strong crossbows used by the Western Xia army were also very lethal.

Therefore, on the East Asian battlefield during the Northern Song Dynasty, the Western Xia, which was considered a "small country" in the eyes of the Song Dynasty literati, had elite troops whose equipment level was fully comparable to the technologically powerful Song army.

For example, during the bloody battle of Pingxia during the reign of Emperor Zhezong of Song, the Xixia army used huge chariots to attack the city, using this ancient version of "tanks" to madly attack the walls of the Song army. The Shenbi crossbow, which the Song Dynasty has always been proud of, was actually invented by a Xixia person.

What really constrained them during that period was not their military and industrial level, but various other reasons, such as resources, which prevented them from carrying out large-scale production like the Song Dynasty.

In fact, the nomadic peoples of Blue Star also attach great importance to the development of weapons and equipment. For example, after the Mongols entered the Central Plains, they obtained sufficient resources and equipped themselves with firearms on a large scale. The firearms equipped on the cavalry were much more exaggerated than those of the Song army back then.

You can say that Dongyi lacks high-end goods like the armor-piercing crossbow and the Hundred Battles Crossbow, but, apart from some high-end goods, they are not necessarily worse than the seven dynasties in the Central Plains.

The well-developed salt production represents a large amount of gold and silver, and the developed manufacturing industry and military industry can bring the most direct help to the Sun Country. Therefore, this place naturally became the most important target of Matsushita Ao.

Taking all aspects into consideration, there is almost no more suitable target than this place.

Matsushita Ao is a very courageous monarch. Once he has decided to do something, he will do his best.

Because the troops were dispatched hastily, the troops from all over the place had not yet been fully mobilized, so the vanguard had to set out first. After they captured a bridgehead, the troops behind could also move forward, and they just happened to move forward step by step.

However, although the troops have not yet arrived in full force, the generals are not bad at all.

The poisonous dragon, ghost dragon, violent bear, mad lion, phantom tiger, fire leopard and demon wolf, all the seven ferocious beasts of Panasonic are dispatched.

The Sun Kingdom has been encouraging population growth for hundreds of years, but now has a population of over 20 million. This population base is more than twice that of the four small dynasties combined.

Perhaps it is far from comparable to any of the seven dynasties, but it can be comparable to any two combinations in the land of four rivers.

The Sun Country, with its nine islands added together, is only larger than three Daos of Da Cang in area, and at most no more than four Daos, but its population is extremely exaggerated. It is just like the ancient Japan on the Blue Star, which is not outstanding in any aspect, but has an extremely terrifying population.

For example, during the Warring States Period on Blue Star Japan, the total population was about 1500 million. During its peak period, the population even reached 1800 million. This was about one-third of the population during the Han Dynasty on Blue Star, and roughly the same as the population during the Three Kingdoms Period.

Many people have always jokingly called the wars in Japan's Warring States Period "fights between villages." This may have been true in the early Warring States period, but as the various forces continued to merge during the Warring States period, it was no longer true in the later period.

In the Bunroku Campaign, Toyotomi Hideyoshi mobilized a total of about 31 troops, which should be the peak mobilization of daimyo in the Warring States Period.

Several major battles during the Warring States period also involved a large number of participants. For example, in the Battle of Odawara Castle, the Uesugi clan dispatched 86000 troops, the Battle of Okehazama, both sides had 5 participants, the Battle of Noda Castle and Fukushima Castle, both sides had 6 participants, the Battle of Tedorigawa, both sides had 7 participants, and the Battle of Nagashino, both sides had 12 participants, and the Takeda clan was defeated. Toyotomi Hideyoshi dispatched 20 troops to conquer Kyushu and unify the war.

With such a large population, the military force that Matsushita Ao can mobilize is also terrifying.

Although the troops from all over the place have not yet gathered, the combined strength of this vanguard army, including those from the sea and land, is as high as 100,000.

The seven beasts of Panasonic, including the poisonous dragon, ghost dragon, violent bear, mad lion, ghost tiger, flaming leopard and demon wolf, were all rare. However, this time, they were all sent out at once, and this was the first time in the history of Panasonic Ao that all the seven beasts of Panasonic were brought out without missing a single one.

Not only these people, but also system mythological characters such as Kagutsuchi, Shinadubiko, and Oyamazumi also made their appearances one by one.

The reason why Matsushita Ao was able to quickly gain power was due to Shintoism. In fact, the previous pope of Shintoism, Izanagi, was the teacher of Matsushita Ao, the emperor of the Sun Kingdom.

Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Maeda Toshiie, Mori Terumoto, Ukita Hideie, Kobayakawa Takakage, these systematic historical figures also appeared on the stage of history one after another in this battle.

The Dongyi people can be said to be the representative of those who only remember to eat but not to be beaten.

The naval base in Nanping Road had been attacked once by Wang Yu in the past, but this time it was attacked again by the Sun Country.

However, after the devastating battle that year, the Nanping Navy of the Dongyi was reorganized in the past few years, but its strength is far inferior to that of the past and cannot be compared at all.

Moreover, in this battle of the Sun Kingdom, not only did the Sun Kingdom’s navy’s most powerful general, Ghost Dragon Hu Jing Shenghai, personally go out, but even the Kamikaze Battalion was pulled out by them.

After Hu Jing Shenghai's sneak attack was successful, chaos broke out in the Dongyi Navy camp, and the main force that had been waiting for a long time rushed out all at once.

It can be said that in order to launch a surprise attack on the Nanpingdao Navy Base, the lineup dispatched by the Sun Country this time was much more luxurious than the one deployed by Wang Yu back then.

Therefore, after this battle, the Sun Kingdom not only gained a stable bridgehead, but also obtained a large number of warships, which to a certain extent enhanced its subsequent war potential.

After all, the subsequent transportation of the main force and logistical support cannot be separated from the support of a large number of warships.

However, what made Dongyi feel fortunate was that, for whatever reason, Yelu Defei did not use his main force to deal with Xipingdao. Therefore, although the Sun Kingdom fought well in the initial battle, Yelu Defei quickly mobilized his main force.

However, Yelu Defei's general Jin Manfu won battle after battle, and each time he defeated the larger force with a smaller one. But this also made him arrogant, and he led his troops deep into the enemy's territory alone, where he was ambushed by Takeda Shingen, and the 30,000 soldiers under his command suffered heavy losses.

Even he himself was killed by the Sun Kingdom's most powerful general, the Poison Dragon Yagyu Muneken.

Yagyu Munen, he is the undisputed number one warrior of the Sun Country. Among the seven beasts of Matsushita, he is the only one in his class. Ghost Dragon, Violent Bear, Mad Lion, Phantom Tiger, Flame Leopard, Demon Wolf, even if any three of these six join forces, they may not be able to defeat him.

Especially, if they were just opponents, these six people might still have the courage. But if it was a life-and-death fight on the battlefield, none of these six people would want to face this person.

Even the addition of mythological figures from the Shinto system did not shake his position as the most powerful general in the Sun Kingdom.

He was nicknamed the Poison Dragon. The dragon represented his bravery, and the poison represented his martial arts.

Yes, this is another master who is good at using poison.

It was precisely because of this that none of the remaining six people were willing to face him, and no one was even willing to deal with him much, and they just maintained superficial respect.

It is so helpless to fight against a master who is good at poison, just like Jörmungandr of Xirong back then. Facing such a master, there is no room for error at all.
