Chapter 2043 Every inch of land must be fought for
On the western front of the Dragon God's territory, there is war.
This was originally the territory of Peng Kingdom and Xiaoyao Sect, and it was also the territory that Yang Shan had cultivated for a long time. It took almost no effort for the Dragon God Army to take them over.
But they were not immune to the war.
The Ya State sent two generals and 30,000 elite soldiers to invade.
Qiu Hu and Wanqi Liang led an army of 100,000 and were ordered to meet the attack!
One hundred thousand people, when viewed from a distance, look like a huge sea, which is quite visually impactful.
But as soon as Qiu Hu and Wanqi Liang fought their first battle, they realized that the task they had taken over from Emperor Jiuyou was too difficult.
As expected, there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides.
The 30,000 troops sent by the Ya Kingdom are very strong, with high quality, excellent weapons, rich experience, and high morale. They are veterans who have fought for at least several years.
Not to mention that this army is also blessed with Yuanli. The Yuanli of Ya Country is much stronger than that of Yao Country, no kidding.
Even if King Yao was still alive and the Yao Kingdom was not destroyed, the chances of winning would be very small if the Yao Kingdom's most elite troops were brought out to fight the Ya Kingdom.
On the other hand, the Dragon God Army that faced the Ya Army head-on had only two elite troops under Qiu Hu as the backbone of the army, while the composition of the other 90,000 people was very mixed.
There were the Yangshan Guards, new recruits who had received less than three months of training, and rural and county soldiers who had stayed in various places. Most of them had never fought in a battle or killed anyone on the battlefield, and they had only learned to follow orders.
There was no way out. All the elite troops were drawn to the central part to gather, and Qiu Hu and Wanqi Liang only had a bad hand.
The first battle between the two sides was an ambush carefully planned by Qiu Hu. Not only did he gain the advantage of the first move, but he also lured the arrogant and domineering Ya country soldiers into the trap he had set in advance, and then shot thousands of arrows at them.
The Ya army fought back.
In this battle, the Ya army suffered 1,700 casualties, including more than 600 who were shot by arrows during the ambush.
How many casualties did the Dragon God Army suffer?
More than 5,400 people, and that’s based on the premise that they have the advantage at the start.
How to describe this battle? According to Qiu Hu's description, it was like he dug a trap to catch a tiger, and the tiger fell into it. The terrifying thing was that the trap was too shallow and the killing power was too small, so the tiger broke free by itself and began to counterattack.
After the battle, the generals of both sides had a rough idea of their opponent's strength.
For Qiu Hu and Wan Qiliang, it can be summed up in three words:
No need to fight.
So the second battle was a revenge war launched by the Ya army.
In this battle, the casualty ratio between the Ya Army and the Dragon God Army reached an even more astonishing one to seven!
You should know that the casualties of the Ya Army were mainly "injuries", while the "deaths" of the Longshen Army were far more than "injuries", which was very tragic.
The results of the subsequent battles were similar. In Yaren's eyes, these uneducated Jin soldiers were too weak, and they were all eager to die. They waved their hands and the enemy would fall down in a bunch.
Is it necessary to fight? The brothers Ge Xuan and Ge Yan, the generals of the Ya Kingdom who led the army, sent letters back to China, detailing the battles and optimistically estimating that the war would not last long.
The original words in the letter: "Within ten days, the so-called "Dragon God Army" will be defeated!"
When King Ya went to court, he read the letter himself. Everyone in the court laughed and the atmosphere was light and lively.
The two courtiers laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes: "I thought they were so capable. It turns out that the Golden Man is the Golden Man, and he is still so weak!"
The Kingdom of Ya had attempted to invade the Gold Plains several times before, but had discovered that the Gold Plainsmen were pale, thin, and weak, and their army's combat effectiveness was weakened and they would disperse at the first blow.
Now verifying it again, it turns out that their essence remains unchanged.
"Just because you changed your flag and name to Dragon God Army, you think you are powerful!"
King Ya laughed, and so did all the ministers, filling the court with a cheerful atmosphere. Only the general of Ya, Wulu, had a gloomy face and his fists were about to break.
In the past, King Ya sent him to lead elite troops to pursue the Bailong tribe, but He Lingchuan came to rescue them, and the two sides fought in Storm Bay.
Then he was defeated, and after returning to his country he was ridiculed for many years, saying that he could not beat a businessman.
Now that the generals of the same dynasty have won a great victory over the Dragon God Army, it seems even more obvious that he was incompetent back then.
Another general stepped out at the right time, saluted and volunteered: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to attack Julu Port and plant the flag of Daya on the Dragon God Island in Julu Port!"
On the night when the Dragon God appeared, he lingered on a small island in the sea near Julu Port. Later, the island was renamed Dragon God Island.
Being able to plant a flag there means taking down the Dragon God's base camp, and at the same time giving the Dragon God a slap in the face.
Moreover, Julu Port is now the largest port in the Golden Plains, with an amazing throughput, and can be said to be a cash cow that makes a fortune every day. Yaguo can fight but is short of money every day, so of course it wants to catch this golden goose that lays eggs.
King Ya glanced at him, stroked his beard and smiled, "Be patient, there will be opportunities."
Previously, the Dragon God rose up and swept across Shining Gold, and King Ya was really worried, fearing that another powerful neighbor would appear.
Now, he finally felt relieved.
What kind of Dragon God Army is this? They have deployed such a large army and are making such a great noise everywhere. It turns out to be just a bunch of weaklings fighting each other on the Shining Golden Plains!
There were officials who looked at Ulu while smiling. Without saying anything, the look in their eyes was enough to make him angry to death.
Wu Lu could not help it, and stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty! How much territory have the Ge brothers occupied after several consecutive victories?"
Since we won a great victory, there should be spoils of war!
For the Ya Kingdom, land, money, and materials are the best spoils of war. The Ge brothers have won again and again, so they should have one of them, right?
King Ya paused, raised the letter and read it again, then the smile on his face faded slightly.
It wasn't mentioned in the letter.
"It's just started, don't be impatient." He laughed, "Let's have a good start, are you afraid there won't be any more good things later?"
After another seven or eight days, battle reports came in one after another.
The Ge brothers are worthy of being a famous family in Ya State, and they have won many battles.
But after hearing what Ulu Dangting said, King Ya felt a little uneasy. He then looked at the battle report and found that the frequency of the battles between the Ya Army and the Dragon God Army was very high and the locations were also very scattered.
This is a multi-point attack and multi-line operation.
Who initiated it?
After careful analysis, it turned out that the Dragon God Army attacked most of the time.
Is the enemy crazy? Why is he so aggressive even though he can't win?
Even though you can’t win, you still have to attack madly?
The fiercest battle of Aobao lasted for five days and five nights. This is an important place where two rivers and a lake meet. The Ya army took down Aobao in the evening of the second day, but on the morning of the fourth day, the enemy flooded the city and took it back!
It wasn't just corpses strewn all over the ground. According to a secret report from the eunuch he sent to supervise the army, the bodies under the city were piled up to half the height of the city wall!
The eunuch described a scene on the battlefield: "The enemy was mad and brave, fighting to the death. Our army fought for twelve hours and returned to the city to rest. The enemy attacked all night with thunder bottles, fire and wood, and at dawn, a flood suddenly flooded the city."
Such scenes are common on the western battlefield of the Dragon God's territory.
The Dragon God Army would rather pay five or seven times the price to take back the occupied land!
Not giving an inch.
More than half a month later, the Ge brothers had to report their achievements. They had only occupied two or three small towns and seven or eight villages.
In total, there are only a few hills.
