322 Greenskin Siege Chang'an
"Master, the latest battle report, an army of more than 300,000 green-skinned orcs surrounded Chang'an City and attacked every day. The countdown to the demise of the Tang Kingdom has begun. Do we need to start the eastern battle plan now?"
In early June 10, in the northwest region, Genevieve was reporting to Richard the recent report on the Tang Kingdom war collected by the Jinyiwei.
Starting from March, the main force of Greenskin went south and entered the territory. In just three months, it swept through most of the Central Plains under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. Under the leadership of the desperate greenskin orcs, the landlords and gentry armed and local clans, which did not even have the advantage in numbers, were uprooted and no grass was left!
As for the regular army directly belonging to the Tang court, they had never appeared on the battlefield...
When the front line was defeated, the Tang court was in a fierce battle for power in Chang'an City. Although the military leaders who obtained military power were willing to continue serving the Emperor of Tang, they were unwilling to hand over the regiment training armed forces and private soldiers they had worked hard to establish, to the court.
In this way, even the last Tang army in the south, with a scale of 10,000 people, was ordered by the Chang'an court to violate the orders of the Zhao family, in order to prevent the Zhao family from taking root in their own defense zone in the name of the Southern Song Dynasty, and not going to Chang'an City to accept the rectification of the Emperor of Tang...
As a result, under the huge crisis of the invasion of Green Skin, the Emperor of Tang became a "nominal emperor" with no military power and only the orthodox legal principles!
Under this court system, the warlords who grew up in the Battle of the Ming and Tang Dynasties naturally had their own interests, and there was no unified command in the battle between the frontline and the Green Skin.
Everyone understands the principle of losing your lips and cold teeth, but it is not possible to hand over the military power to obey other people's commands and fight.
At most, the warlords gathered together to discuss combat. You can imagine how inefficient the combat efficiency of this "coalition" is...
If the enemy they faced was just an ordinary human army, the coalition might still be able to win by relying on the advantage of numbers, but faced with the green skin with the advantage of numbers...
After three months, Green Skin's defeat at Chang'an City was not only a military victory, but also accompanied by the disappearance of most of the Tang landlords' training armed warlords and local warlords, together with the population and army under their command!
In other words, at least hundreds of thousands of messy Tang armed forces were gone. In the battle with Green Skin, even the landlord armed regiments and local clan private soldiers who were far away from the front line provided support, and naturally, they were all thrown on the front line!
The reason why Chang'an City is now resistant is that there are too many regiments and private soldiers defeated on the front line, and a large number of defeated soldiers retreated into Chang'an City, which gives Chang'an City enough troops to defend the city.
Even a small soldier knew that they were a race battle with Green Skin and did not even have a chance to surrender. Therefore, even if these defeated soldiers lost their organization, they placed their hopes on Chang'an City, which is of great political significance, and tried to withdraw into Chang'an City to encircle the last line of defense in the country of Tang!
The perfect city defense system in Chang'an City is the source of confidence for the defeated soldiers!
Although the three-month defeat completely destroyed the morale of all the armed forces of the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains, several waves of refugees even appeared to move into the Ming Dynasty, greatly enriching the population base that the Ming Dynasty lacked!
But because the opponent is green-skinned, the defeated Tang-Nation Alliance troops, which have been defeated again and again, are still resisting. Even on the land that has been ravaged by green-skinned, there are a large number of sporadic human resistance organizations struggling to survive in the hidden mountain jungle.
However, because Green Skin is naturally good at drilling mountains and fighting, it does not rely on cavalry power. It can be foreseen that the final outcome of the human resistance organizations hiding in the mountains and jungles cannot escape the word - death...
This is how the human resistance organization in Yanyun Land was washed away by green skin!
In terms of mountain warfare and jungle warfare, humans are really not the opponents of green-skinned orcs with comprehensive physical fitness.
The people of Tang had long discovered that the only battle they could cause large-scale casualties against the Greenskin Army could only be fought when relying on the city defense system.
It’s a pity that because the army of the Tang Kingdom was of a ‘coalition’ at that time, there was no commander yet, and it did not give full play to the advantages of the city defense system to kill a large number of live powers of green-skinned orcs.
To deal with the Greenskin army that does not have to worry about logistics issues, the various military tactics of the Tang Kingdom coalition have become useless. If you want to block Greenskin, you can only destroy them, at least you must eliminate the fearless greenskin orcs!
When Genevieve reported, more than one million people had poured into the Chang'an City of Tang Kingdom, one-third of whom were young and strong with weapons!
Interestingly, the natives born and raised in Chang'an City were already very small. They had already invaded Tang State as early as when the Green Skin invaded Tang State and the Tang State coalition forces were defeated repeatedly. Those who did not migrate were poor people who were unable to leave...
Most of the gatherings in Chang'an City were the extremely family members of the army retreating from the front, as well as civilians who fled from the front.
After the Green Skin entered the Tang Dynasty, the damage to the landlords, gentry class and local clan forces was even more thorough than that of the Ming army. At most, the Ming army plundered wealth and turned the rebels into serfs and brought them into collective farms.
The green skin killed all the meat without any discretion!
Unlike ordinary civilians who could escape to the Ming Dynasty, the landlords and gentry class could only stay in the Tang Dynasty and insist on resisting. Even if they ran to the southern alliance of Jiedushi, they would be slaughtered by the Jiedushi who were trapped in hard fighting and fighting, as fat sheep.
Of course, if the landlords and gentry lost all their wealth during the war and transformed into ordinary civilian classes, they would naturally choose the Ming Dynasty.
In terms of stability, Ming Dynasty was the best choice at this time, because the wars in the south were not easier than those in the Tang Dynasty!
After seeing that Tang was beaten to death by Green Skin, the Zhao family was eager to expand its forces to control more population and territory so as to fight a war of human defense with Green Skin in the future, so it stepped up its attack on the Jiedu Alliance.
On the other hand, the Jiedu Alliance was originally at a disadvantage. Now even the support of the Tang Kingdom has been cut off. It is not the opponent of the Zhao family Song Kingdom. Naturally, they have lost their battles and lost their cities and land. The nests of several Jiedu governors have been lost. I either surrendered or died in battle...
Facts have proved that the Southern Jiedu Alliance, which had lost the banner of the Tang State, was vulnerable to the Zhao State Song State. What's even more terrifying is that under the situation of the Zhao State Song State singing all the way, many Jiedu warlords took the initiative to surrender to the Zhao State Song State, aimed their weapons at their former allies, and accelerated the Zhao State's unification of the entire south!
When Green Skin besieged Chang'an City, the territory of the Zhao family's Song State also officially bordered the Tang State!
