The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 475: Forcing

Because of the shortage of armaments, the Ming Dynasty army had to step up its offensive and attacked the imperial defense line more fiercely.

Doing so will not only reduce the number of their huge army, thereby reducing the consumption of military rations. It is even more able to take advantage of the fact that Yuguo's military power is greatly reduced and the military's heart is turbulent.

Just when the Ming Dynasty army launched several waves of fierce attacks, they were surprised to find that after the number of people on the opposite Yuguo's defense line became extremely strong, no matter how they attacked, they did not waver at all. .

The commander of the Ming Dynasty who didn't believe in evil, and desperately urged his troops to attack several times, but he still returned in vain.

In the end, even he had to admit that the defense on the opposite side was indeed countless times stronger than before.

In this way, after more than 100,000 troops were killed and injured, the morale of the Ming Dynasty troops plummeted, and they had to rest and reorganize, and the two fronts fell into peace for a while.

The main reason for this result is that there were too many leading parties in the previous line of defense. There were many anti-skeleton soldiers in the imperial army, all of them focused on the opposite Ming Dynasty kings.

As a result, as soon as these kings came to the city, all of them surrendered anyway. This caused the Ming Dynasty army to attack dozens of cities within more than a month, and won the results of nearly a province.

In fact, this kind of result is not unexpected. The reason why Yuguo lost its city and ground quickly before was mainly because there were too many traitors in the army, and most of the army did not want to fight, and did not want to fight with the opposite Ming army. The site of eight provinces was lost all at once, and the situation deteriorated greatly.

But now these unsure soldiers have been transferred away, and the rest are soldiers who are loyal to the imperial kingdom. It is naturally safe to use them to defend the strong walls.

The war on the front line slowly stalemate like this. You come and go. Although the Ming Dynasty’s army is in the overall advantage, and as the war progresses, it slowly cannibalize the territory of the Jade Country, but the speed is obviously slow. After coming down, there was no such swift gang that had just started the war.

Currently, the progress of annexing the territory of a mansion has been maintained for about one month, which is not slow, but not fast.

Zhong Yu's imperial kingdom has 83 mansions. Excluding the nine mansions previously occupied by the Ming Dynasty, there are still 74 mansions.

Slowly losing one mansion site a month, Zhong Yu can support him for six years. Even if more and more territories are lost, the speed of the Ming Dynasty will increase significantly later, but no matter what, it can last 34 years.

The war on the front line is proceeding slowly in this way. Both sides only maintain the level of war on low-level soldiers, and the strongest shot is only Tier 5.

The respective masters of the two sides are like strong men above Tier 6, and none of them acted as commanders, commanding the cannon fodder soldiers to fight.

This is a mutual understanding.

Maintain the scale of the war on ordinary people, and do not entice the respective Tier 6 powerhouses, so as not to expand the war to the point where it is difficult to control.

There are fewer Tier 6 powerhouses on Daming's side, and the strength is not the opponent of Yuguo, so he dare not initiate wars of Tier 6 and above.

On Yuguo’s side, the eighth-tier who didn’t make a move was afraid of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn’t dare to lead the battle to above the sixth-tier. For fear of a bad one, he brought the opposite eighth-tier out. No one can deal with it.

Just like this, the two sides are extremely harmonious at the top, maintaining a unique tacit understanding. Even the high-level generals that both sides know about sometimes invite generals from the opposing army to come out to chat and meet. There is no way to see that the two sides are in a state of war. They are enemies of life and death.

However, the high-level people talked happily, but the soldiers at the bottom were caught in a deep water.

Because there is no danger in itself, but there are orders from the upper level, and some achievements must be shown, so those generals and everything put their merits on the soldiers.

What is merit? Naturally, you have conquered the city on the battlefield and broke the army and massacred the city.

With such a goal, the soldiers at the bottom, driven by the generals, are constantly advancing for this goal.

Because they have too much power to surpass the soldiers, the generals are not afraid of those soldiers resisting. Their military changes are useless, and the generals themselves can suppress them.

The soldiers in this world were originally used to maintain law and order, and they were able to deal with those transcendents above the sixth rank, but it was only because of the blessings of this formation.

Those who can understand these formations are all generals. The soldiers at the bottom can't even know the slightest. Being able to use the formations is just obeying military orders. This is nothing to lay out a formation alone. use.

What's more, there are people who can be arranged, and they don't have the prestige, and can integrate enough soldiers to obey the orders, so that they can rebel against their main general.

So the resistance of the soldiers is really useless. Those soldiers dare not resist. In the past, they have seen countless killings on the battlefield. Those sixth-order extraordinary powers have long been in their eyes like gods and demons~ IndoMTL.com ~ It is impossible to produce the slightest sense of resistance at all.

Because there is no power to resist, it is impossible to use one's own will to force the generals to retreat.

I don't want to die under military law because of disobedience. In order to survive, those soldiers can only fight hard towards the enemy on the opposite side. Pin one's destiny on oneself to survive in this battle, and then survive in another battle, until the end of the war.

So every battle between the two sides was extremely tragic, and the death rate reached more than 90%, basically ending in the complete annihilation of the other side.

Time passed slowly.

The war lasted for half a year. Zhong Yu lost the territory of two provinces. The army of the Ming Dynasty also advanced into the hinterland of the imperial kingdom, placing the battlefield in Jiangdong Province and slowly approaching Jiangdu City.

However, here, the Ming army encountered extremely resolute resistance. Every step forward would cost countless lives and costs, and spent more time.

The capital of a country can be easily besieged by people, even with soldiers under the city. That would cause a great blow to the prestige of a country, and make domestic subjects question the country's strength, thus giving birth to ambitions.

So throughout the past and present, all countries that can be approached to the capital are basically facing the crisis of subjugation. Moreover, after the capital is lost, the country will not perish, but its vitality will be greatly injured, and the country will decline, far less than before.

Zhong Yu's imperial state has just been established only a few years ago, and the people's sentiment is unstable and the foundation is not strong. If the enemy is allowed to hit the capital of the country again, the people who have been suppressed will definitely take the opportunity to jump out and make trouble.

Being besieged the capital is itself a morale-damaging thing. Of course, Zhong Yu will not easily let others hit the city, so it is normal to arrange heavy guards along the way.
