Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

However, in the face of the menacing Dongchuan Army, is it useful to just shrink the troops?

Fan Shaozeng, who had just arrived in Yinan City, immediately asked people to survey the terrain and set up artillery.

Anyway, there are no Daxia people or Fan people in the city, so let’s bombard them for a day first.

Maybe Fan Shaozeng also knew that after this battle, his Dongchuan Army would have no combat missions for a short period of time.

It's just an addiction at this time. Who knows when I will have such an opportunity next time.

Therefore, Fan Shaozeng, who was originally stingy, directly gave the order to fire out all the existing artillery shells.

The frigates that had been serving as escorts also joined the carnival when they saw that Yinan City was not far from the seaside and was barely within their shooting range.

It’s hard now that I still have to play the role of a Sakura Kingdom soldier.

As the last fortified city in Yizhou Island, Yamamoto Masao ordered the Sakura people still in the city to take up arms and prepare to resist Daxia's invasion.

He had previously thought of having a brutal street battle with Fan Shaozeng, so he built many fortresses in the city.

But who would have thought that Fan Shaozeng did not accept the move at all. He plowed the ground with artillery and destroyed more than 80% of the defense facilities in the city.

It was not until noon the next day that Fan Shaozeng ordered the bombardment to stop and let the infantry enter the city to encircle and suppress the remaining enemies.

Fan Shaozeng, who was used to living in poverty, suddenly felt that it was really refreshing to have a strong backer!

Previously, these weapons and ammunition were sufficient.

After having sufficient weapons supplies, Fan Shaozeng fought in the city with great success.

Even though Yamamoto Masao issued a death order, requiring all ministries of the Sakura Kingdom to defend, Fan Shaozeng still fully occupied Yinan City on the fifth day.

Ninety percent of the Sakura Kingdom soldiers stationed in the city died in the battle, and [-]% of the expatriates died in the battle. The total number of casualties exceeded [-].

After Fan Shaozeng occupied Yinan City, he called Lin Yi again and asked him for instructions on the next move.

At this time, he still hoped that Lin Yi could transfer him to the battlefield outside the pass, but Lin Yi asked him to continue to garrison Yizhou Island.

At the same time, he told Fan Shaozeng that Yizhou Island was related to the future coastal defense of the empire, and asked him to try his best to build roads and infrastructure inside Yizhou Island.

Although Fan Shaozeng was helpless, he did not dare to oppose Lin Yi's order, so he could only serve as a construction engineering team on Yizhou Island.

On the battlefield outside the pass, the First Legion was also everywhere.

First of all, on the Liaozhou Peninsula, the Second Division cooperated with the three divisions of the Beijing camp and advanced steadily with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, leaving the Sakura Kingdom's Sixth Division unable to fight back.

To the south of the Sixth Division is the Liaozhou fortress group of the Rakshasa people, which is densely covered with fortresses.

The Sakura Kingdom army, which was short of supplies, was in trouble here, and it could be said that it was difficult to move forward.

To the north, Daxia's four divisions, totaling more than [-] people, are gradually compressing their living space.

The current Sixth Division has shifted from offense to defense.

The division commander of the Sixth Division, Sanada Yoshisada, had already seen Amaterasu calling him.

According to Qian Hongtao's prediction, his troops would have at most three days to advance to the main position of the Sixth Division.

It is expected that in half a month to twenty days, the Sixth Division can be completely eliminated, and then the attack on the Liaozhou Fortress Group can begin.

On the front line of Shencheng, the [-]rd and [-]th Divisions had already exchanged fire with the [-]th and [-]th Divisions of the Sakura Country heading south.

The defensive position of barbed wire and heavy machine guns looked fragile, but it caused the Fourth and Eighth Divisions to suffer severe injuries.

Fourth, the division commanders of the [-]th Division, Uesugi Mitsunobu and Asano Nagamasa, couldn't figure out why the heroic samurai under their command couldn't get through.

After suffering several heavy losses, Uesugi Mitsunobu and Asano Nagamasa discussed and decided to postpone the attack.

After all, they don't have much supplies in hand. If they can't find new supplies, they will probably starve to death outside Shen City.

The Korean servants who followed them to attack the northern front were also left on the northern front by them to prevent the Rakshasa people from counterattacking.

That's right, at this time, the Rakshasa expeditionary force on the northern front saw that the Sakura Country soldiers who had been suppressing them retreated, so they began to attack in the direction in which the Sakura Country soldiers retreated.

In order to prevent themselves from being attacked from both sides, Uesugi Mitsunobu and Asano Nagamasa asked the Koryo servant army to defend the northern front.

In their original plan, they could defeat the Daxia army stationed in Shen City within fifteen days at most.

But the reality is that they made no progress for fifteen days, but the two divisions under them suffered heavy losses.

It can be said that these two divisions, if nothing else, are the third and fourth dishes on the plate.

When the banquet starts depends on when Mo Shoucheng and Zeng Shaoqing want to eat.

As for Zhang Yanyu's fifth division, it has now arrived at Hamhung, an important town in eastern Goryeo.

Although his journey was the farthest and the road conditions were the worst, fortunately there were no enemies.

There were at most one or two regiments of Korean servant troops stationed along the way, and those soldiers from the Sakura Kingdom had long since withdrawn to Pyongyang.

Zhang Yanyu's journey was like having fun.

All he had to do was to set up artillery and fire two shots at the city before reaching a town, and then wait for the servants in the city to surrender.

Then, he left a company of more than [-] people, plus [-] horse bandits, and asked them to garrison the town and maintain public order.

Again, without the coercion of Sakura Country, the Korean people could be said to have no intention of resisting Daxia at all.

After all, the suzerain state that has been the suzerain for thousands of years has a strong deterrent effect on Goryeo.

Zhou Chuanjun, who forcibly landed at the southern end, also began to command soldiers to attack Seoul.

At this time, there was only one regiment of Sakura soldiers stationed in Seoul.

And it is the only city in the entire Goryeo, besides Pyongyang, where the Sakura Kingdom has a garrison.

The task of this regiment stationed in Seoul was not to confront the Jiaodong Army head-on, but to suppress the instability within Seoul and supervise the servant armies in the city to resist Daxia.

You know, as the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty, the population in Seoul can be said to be the most densely populated area in the entire Goryeo.

A certain regiment left behind in Seoul frantically assembled [-] Korean servants.

But. These people have almost no firearms in their hands. Most of them only have a knife and a few bullets in their hands.

They need to follow the servant soldiers with guns in their hands and wait for these soldiers with thermal weapons to be killed before they have a chance to obtain weapons.

This is such a familiar scene.

In short, the Seoul side is fighting very tenaciously, and at the same time it is also making the slowest progress among all armies.

There is no way, Seoul will be made the capital of Goryeo, Lin Yi is more careful, otherwise he will destroy the entire city.

Therefore, Zhou Chuanjun could only fight in the city with the Korean servant army.

As for Lin Yi himself, he has advanced to the vicinity of Pyongyang and can launch an attack on Pyongyang at any time.
