Chapter 1213 Full mobilization
The huge war machine of the Ross Empire has been fully operational. The supplies and food from the various reserve warehouses of the empire were continuously transported to the Kikans army. They obviously planned to use the Langtou Mountain Fortress to restrain the main elite of the Qin Empire in order to achieve a decisive breakthrough in the west. If they really succeed, not only Kangju, but also the entire Western Regions will be overthrown. The two guards stationed in Petersburg are heading towards Kukan at full speed, and Kukan's 50,000 garrisons have already entered a state of full combat readiness; the 150,000 tribal coalition forces in the east and northeast have also been assembled toward the Langtou Mountain Fortress; in addition, the reserve troops and tribal troops in various places are mobilizing!
The people from all over Ross felt an unprecedented atmosphere of war, some were excited, while others were uneasy. "Nov, it seems that such a team has been going on for three consecutive days!" A young man standing by the street looked at the continuous baggage team and looked a little uneasy. The companion nodded and said excitedly: "The empire has started a full war with Qin State in the south! We will definitely be able to conquer them!" "I'm afraid it's not that simple!" The young man looked a little worried. The companion glared at him, "Don't have the same virtue as Keith! Remember, you are a member of the great Ross Empire!" The young man smiled a little embarrassedly, "By the way, what's wrong with Keith?" The companion showed a disdainful look, "That guy ran to the countryside! Isn't he afraid of being recruited by the empire!"
While the Ross Empire was mobilizing its army, the Qin Empire was also mobilizing. The Fourth Legion had passed Yumen Pass and entered the Western Regions, and the Fifth Legion had entered the northern Protectorate. In addition, the reserve troops from all over the empire were also mobilizing, and two reserve troops had advanced to the Western Regions.
Luoyang.
"Father, I think this war is very unusual!" Li Qingtong said to her father Li Yi with a worried look on her face. She had just returned from outside.
Li Yi said: "This time, the opponent of our Great Qin Empire is the Rose Empire, which is a strong opponent comparable to our Great Qin Empire! It seems that both of us will do our best this time!" He looked very excited.
"Father, why do you seem very excited? You are like the young people on the street!" Li Qingtong smiled.
Li Yi smiled, brushed the long beard under his jaw and said with a smile: "As a man, who doesn't have a hero's dream?"
Li Qingtong smiled and said, "If my father goes to join the army, he will definitely become a general who will shock the country!"
Li Yi waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't say this outside! It's a joke! By the way, you just came back from the palace, how is the situation in the palace?"
Li Qingtong sighed, "The Empresses are all worried about His Majesty's comfort! They are all very good women!" Li Qingtong looked like she empathized.
Li Yi couldn't help but quip: "Qingtong, aren't you worried?"
Li Qingtong was stunned, then understood what her father meant. She couldn't help but look beautiful and said angrily, "Father!"
Li Yi smiled, "Okay, okay! I won't say it anymore! I won't say it anymore!"
Just then, a burst of shouts came in, with a very exciting smell. Li Yi couldn't help but be stunned, "What's going on?"
Li Qingtong pursed her lips and smiled, "Father, didn't you say that all men have a dream of heroism?" Seeing that his father was still confused, she explained: "This is the sound of young people in the capital gathering outside the Ministry of War recruiting yamen to join the army!" Li Yi suddenly realized.
"Just join the army, join the army! What are you shouting?" Li Yi said angrily.
Li Qingtong explained: "Because the recruiting yamen refused to ask them!"
Li Yi was stunned, "There is such a thing!"
Li Qingtong nodded, "I heard from my sisters that the imperial court has customization for recruiting soldiers. Unless His Majesty or the Cabinet issue an order to recruit soldiers, these ordinary people who have not undergone any military training will never be recruited!"
Li Yi smiled, "In this way, the battle situation on the front line is still very optimistic!"
"By the way, my father, we are afraid that our goods will not be able to be transported to the west for the time being! Will the price be reduced and sold in Central Plains?" Li Qingtong asked for instructions.
Li Yi thought for a moment and said decisively: "No, transport all the goods to Kucha Daguan!"
Li Qingtong was stunned and then understood. Li Yi planned to wait until the war was over before trafficking goods to the Roman Empire. Li Yi believed that the Qin Empire would definitely win. In addition, due to the war, the goods of the Roman Empire would definitely become increasingly scarce, and they would make several times the profit now! Li Yi's abacus was very good, but all this was based on the victory of the Qin army. If the Qin army was defeated, ~~~
...
The main force of the Qin army has been attacking for ten consecutive days. Although the Langtou Mountain Fortress is shaky and the outer defense line has been broken, the remaining Ross army is still fighting to the death. Both sides have paid a huge price. The 150,000 troops of the Ross people are only less than 50,000 troops, and the Wild Wolf Legion, one of the four aces, is less than 20,000 people left. If it weren't for this Wild Wolf Legion, the Wolf Legion, would have been captured a few days ago, and the Qin army also suffered 120,000 casualties.
At the heavy price, the garrison of the Northern Protectorate was only less than 20,000 people left. As the main attacking First Legion, nearly half of the casualties were killed or killed. After this battle, the First Legion would probably take some time to recover its combat power. The Langtou Mountain Fortress was filled with smoke in the air, and broken walls and broken bricks and tiles everywhere. The blood color made the entire fortress covered with a mottled blood coat. The wreckage of various siege equipment was scattered everywhere. The bodies of the Ross people who had no time to clean up were piled into several high hills.
"Your Majesty, the First Legion has never paid such a heavy price!" Ma Chao said with deep emotion.
Chen Chu nodded, looked at the wolf smoke in front of him, and the unrecognizable Langtou Mountain Fortress said: "The Ross people are not weak people, and their overall strength is comparable to that of our Great Qin Empire. Even if the Langtou Mountain Fortress is captured, the war will not end! The first legion is ordered to suspend the siege and the third legion will take over the main attack!" "Yes!" Ma Chao agreed with his fists.
"Wenhe, are the reserve troops coming up?" Chen Chu asked Jia Xu beside him.
"Fifty thousand reserve troops have arrived at Dingbei Fortress and are expected to arrive at the battlefield in three days!"
Chen Chu nodded, "Replenish all these reserve troops to the First Legion! The Northern Protectorate Guardians will only be replenished after a while!"
Jia Xu nodded, with a little sadness in his eyes. The Northern Protectorate Guardians can be said to have been formed by him, but now there are only less than 30,000 of them, of which 10,000 are stationed in Dingbei Fortress and have not entered the battlefield.
Chen Chu patted Jia Xu on the shoulder.
At this time, a scout rushed over from the west. Chen Chu couldn't help but frown, and he subconsciously felt something bad happened.
"Your Majesty, Ross, a guards army suddenly turned south from the west coast of the North Sea, and seemed to want to directly enter the North Fortress!" The scout reported urgently.
"Is the intelligence reliable? Another guard army?"
"It has been verified several times, absolutely reliable! Another guards have arrived in Kukan City!"
Chen Chu thought for a while and said to Jia Xu in an inquiring tone: "Wenhe, what do you think?"
Jia Xu said calmly: "Since the Ross people gave us a chance to fight in the field, how can we miss it?"
Chen Chu nodded and ordered the Iron Guard beside him: "Go and call me Fengxian!" "Yes!" The Iron Guard shouted and went down immediately.
