Spring of the 46th year of Marquis Yan (256 years)
Chang'e City

When the new year's spring plowing begins, news that shakes the entire country of Yan comes.

Taohuagang, the most prosperous place in the Yan Kingdom, was massacred by the Goguryeo people. Tens of thousands of people were killed, and countless women were reduced to playthings, even the children of the Wang family were no exception.

A large number of machines were smashed, Jindan (gunpowder), Liuli (glass), torsion catapult (Ma Jun catapult), etc. were banned, and accumulated legal documents and classics of hundreds of schools were burned and replaced by the same Confucian classics.

If it was said that in the past half a year, everyone was only suspicious of what the Patriarch had done, then now, everyone has confirmed that the Patriarch really rebelled.

"How is the conscription going?" Wang Ba, the fake city lord of Chang'e City, asked.

After the uprising of Chang'e City was suppressed, no new city lord was arranged. Now Wang Ba came here, and with his status as Shang Shuling and a former family secretary, he canonized himself as the temporary city lord of Chang'e City.

The council was disbanded, and the guards and security guards were scattered among the city lords. Wang Ba only had ten guards and a hundred security guards in his hands, and the rest could only be recruited by himself.

"Except for some desperate poor people, no one is willing to join the army. They have just experienced our suppression and are not willing to fight for us." Wang Xue replied.

"How about asking the court for help?" asked the elder sister Wang Shuang beside her.

"The imperial court? Did you forget to take Luoshui as an oath?" Wang Ba shook his head and said, before Zhen Xiang and Sima Yi made an oath, but in the end Sima Yi wiped out the three clans, so he explained: "I am afraid that the imperial court is sitting and watching our swallows." Domestic struggle, how can it help us?"

After all, he thought for a long time, and then slowly said: "The current strategy is to call on the overseas city owners to unite to retake Liaodong, overthrow Wang Ting's tyranny, and at the same time find a way to recruit troops."

Wang Ba does not intend to retreat to the guild rebels now, the matter has not yet reached the point where it is completely irreversible, and with the background of the Wang family, as long as the overseas city lords can unite, it is still enough to retake Liaodong.

"Aren't there only [-] Goguryeo people? What are you afraid of?" Wang Ba said to himself.

another two months later

Of the 97 cities in Yan State, nine are loyal to the patriarch Wang Ting, 52 cities are still on the sidelines, and 36 cities hold high the flag of righteousness to form a [parliamentary army] to resist the tyranny of the patriarch.

The 36 city lords jointly respected Wang Ba, the lord of Chang'e City, as the leader of the alliance, and raised [-] troops to counterattack Liaodong.

Mazishui (Yalu River)
estuary

The princes of the 36 routes gathered here, and made alliances here.

three days later

Xi'an Pingcheng
Tens of thousands of troops gathered at the city, and Wang's new trebuchet (the torsion trebuchet invented by Ma Jun) was also thrown into the battlefield.

The trebuchets in the Central Plains all use the principle of leverage to throw stones by manpower. This kind of trebuchet not only has a short range, but also requires a lot of manpower. One trebuchet needs to be equipped with ten people.

Ma Jun's new trebuchet has a longer range and a faster rate of fire, and only seven people are required to operate it.

Among the tens of thousands of troops, there are three hundred personal soldiers, three thousand security soldiers, and seven thousand village braves who are prohibited from being recruited.

These more than 1 people all wore armor to fight. The personal soldiers were equipped cavalry, the security guards were heavy armored infantry, and the townspeople were light armored infantry and crossbowmen.

The armor rate reached 100%, which is not inferior to the intensity of the war in the Central Plains. After all, the 5000 army of the Shu Han went to the Northern Expedition. The most outstanding record was to kill [-] armored Yuan Zhao soldiers. During the Northern Expedition, there were only [-] Wu soldiers in armor, and the remaining [-] were unarmored.

Therefore, the great civil war in Yan State was only a little less numerous.

Even if the country of Yan is just a villager, its combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the regular army of the Central Plains.

Even the weakest servants have almost the same combat effectiveness as the recruits temporarily recruited by the Central Plains.

In addition to the [-] troops, the [Parliamentary Army] also brought [-] Sushen servants, [-] dirty raccoon servants, [-] sugarcane servants, [-] fruit servants, and a total of [-] servants, responsible for logistics and transportation and cannon fodder missions.

The servants of Sushen were mainly recruited from the Phi Mao Island and Sushen area during Jia Xu’s administration of Phi Mao Island. These people are masters of fishing and hunting. In real history, they followed the Jurchens into the Central Plains and defeated the self-righteous Khitan He and Zhao Song also followed Hou Jin to fight in all directions, and even crossed the Himalayas, which gave the then British Governor of Bengal a little shock in East Asia.

The Wang family implemented a policy of "genocide" in the colonies that were close to them, killing the local aborigines to extinction, while in the colonies that were far away, they implemented the "toast system", allowing the local indigenous tribes to self-govern, only needing to submit to Yan in name. country, and regularly pay tribute and servants to Yan country, the royal family will not interfere in their internal affairs, and everything is up to them.

The [Sushen Tusi Autonomous Dominion] in Phi Mao Island is undoubtedly a manifestation of the success of the "Tusi System".

Fifteen new-style catapults were in the shape of a "丅" character, attacking one corner of the city wall.

boom!
boom!
One after another boulders hit a fixed area of ​​the city wall, making the gap there bigger and bigger.

Half a month later
Royal Manor
"The rebels have captured Pingcheng in Xi'an, and Wucicheng has surrendered without a fight. The rebels are coming straight to the manor along the hilly plain east of Liaodong." Zhang Tong, Zhang Liao's grandson, informed Wang Ting.

All the defense facilities of the Wang family are aimed at the Central Plains, and by the way, the grassland nomads and Goguryeo. They have never built defense facilities against overseas.

The first consideration is to prevent the Central Plains dynasty from attacking the Wang family, and the second is to consider the prevention of nomads, fishing and hunting from attacking the Wang family. I have never considered whether overseas will attack the Wang family.

Therefore, the [Parliamentary Army] from overseas, as long as they capture Xi'an Pingcheng, they can go straight to the Wang Family Manor unimpeded, without any strong fortresses along the way.

"What are the Goguryeo people doing? Do they only burn, kill and loot? Where is their fighting power? Let them stop the rebels!" Wang Ting was furious.

"The Goguryeo people are not easy to mobilize." Zhang Tong said helplessly: "They enjoy themselves in Taohuagang every day, and don't want to go to the front to fight."

Looking at Wang Ting's livid face, Zhang Tong suggested: "For the current plan, only by inviting Xianbei people into Liaodong to assist in the battle can we check and balance these Goguryeo people who do not obey orders, and then let Xianbei people and Goguryeo people stop the rebellion together. military."

沓东
Boom boom boom!
"Get ready!—let it go!"

shhhhhh!
Whoosh!
After the rest, the parliamentary army continued to advance towards the manor, and finally when it was about to arrive at the manor, it fought tens of thousands of Xianbei and Goguryeo people.

After Wang Ting took control of Liaodong, he plundered the people's fat and anointment to raise military expenses, and kept capturing young and middle-aged men to serve as the army. Only then did he get together 12 [Family Lord Army], [-] Goguryeo warriors, [-] Xianbei cavalry, and The Li family's [-] townspeople are brave, a total of [-] troops, and they are known as an army of one million.
