Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2452: Destroy the country and capture the king, shocking all countries

Although Yang Su had only 20,000 soldiers and horses, these 20,000 were the elite of the Yizhou Legion.

Half of them were the most elite soldiers of the Jin Dynasty. They had followed Bai Qi in the war in the south and had survived many battles.

The other half were carefully selected warriors from the southern barbarians and the mountainous Yue people. Their life in the jungle since childhood had given them strong physiques.

As soon as Yang Su led his troops into the border of Linyi, he made a big fuss and openly attracted the main force of Linyi and had a decisive battle with them.

Although the main force of the Linyi Kingdom had a strength of 50,000, due to the confrontation with the Kushan Empire in previous years, the elite troops of the Linyi Kingdom suffered considerable losses.

Among these 50,000 soldiers, more than 10,000 have only been in the army for one year.

Moreover, in terms of the military equipment of the soldiers, the Yizhou Legion under Yang Su was not comparable to that of the Linyi Kingdom.

It can be said that the reason why Yang Su dared to fight a decisive battle with the main force was that he was still certain. If it was just a huge difference in military strength that made him see no chance of winning, he would not pursue a head-on battle.

In the past few years, Dajin has also strengthened the collection of information from Southeast Asian countries, and the Linyi Kingdom, which is just on the border of Jiaozhou, is naturally the country with the most complete information collection.

As for the Linyi Kingdom, not long ago, it joined forces with Southeast Asian countries to force the Kushan Empire, a great empire, to take the initiative to cease fire with them. At this time, they were very proud of their country's combat effectiveness and were full of confidence.

Even if the strength of the troops was almost the same, the Linyi Kingdom believed that they could fight head-on. Not to mention that Yang Su had only 20,000 troops under his command, while they had mobilized 50,000 troops, which could be said to be the mobilization of almost the entire country's strength.

Under such circumstances, the Linyi Kingdom was of course full of confidence and wanted to have a decisive battle, to cleanly and neatly eliminate Yang Su's troops on the front battlefield, so as to deter the Great Jin Empire, demonstrate the prestige of Linyi, and let the Great Jin see that they, Linyi, were not easy to bully. Any invader would pay a heavy price.

On the day of the decisive battle, Yang Su sent two to three hundred men to charge into the battle line several times in a row. If they could win, it would be fine. But if they were defeated and retreated, Yang Su would execute all the retreating soldiers in public without asking the reason.

It was also because of this that the small groups of soldiers who were sent out to charge the battle formation later, even though they knew they would die, had to fight to the death until the last moment.

After several waves, the fearlessness and bravery displayed by the Jin soldiers shocked the Linyi army.

After several waves in a row, although they wiped out all the soldiers sent by Yang Su to rebuild the Jin Dynasty every time, they had already caused the loss of thousands of people to the Jin Dynasty.

However, their own casualties were close to this level.

Each time, there were only two or three hundred people, but they attacked their fifty thousand people. After several consecutive times, the casualties on both sides were almost the same. This was almost unimaginable.

The scene of the Jin soldiers fighting frantically, especially the crazy strength, even if their bodies were pierced, they would still pierce the opponent's body with the spear in their hands. Made many Linyi soldiers feel like something was collapsing in their hearts!
At this time, Yang Su probably thought that the time was right and launched a general attack. The soldiers of Linyi thought that all the soldiers of Jin were as crazy as they had just shown. After the battle started, they were not sure, and their morale collapsed. The battle began to show a one-sided trend.

This method of fighting is also the style that Yang Su usually used in history.

Yang Su was extremely brutal in commanding his army. Before every battle, he would always look for some soldiers' faults and perform a "beheading to establish authority" ritual, killing at least a dozen people and at most more than a hundred people to establish his authority through killing.

This method may seem cruel, but it is intended to ensure that soldiers obey orders and maintain strict military discipline.

The Biography of Yang Su in the Book of Sui records: "Su was full of strategies, and he was good at taking advantage of opportunities to attack the enemy, and he was very flexible in dealing with emergencies. However, he was generally strict in commanding his troops, and he would execute anyone who violated military orders without mercy."

When the two armies faced each other, Yang Su would often send a team of about 200 people to attack first. If they won, that would be great. If they lost, he would kill them one by one. In other words, he could only win and not lose, otherwise he would die.

If the first team failed, the second team would be sent out to attack, and if they failed, they would be killed. Yang Su's soldiers were very respectful of him and fought every battle with the determination to die.

The historical records state, "First, several hundred men were sent to attack the enemy and break through their formations. Those who failed and retreated were all killed. Then several hundred more men were sent to attack and break through their formations. Thus, all the soldiers were determined to die, and there was no strong enemy in front of them."

However, although Yang Su was brutal in his military management, any merit of his soldiers would be recorded and rewarded. He fully achieved the principle of "reward for merit and punishment for fault", which made him invincible in battle.

In this battle, Yang Su led 20,000 troops to fight against the 50,000 main forces of Linyi State, almost annihilating the enemy army. Only a few thousand people were able to escape after the war.

After this battle, the main force of the entire Linyi Kingdom was almost wiped out.

After all, the entire Linyi Kingdom had less than 60,000 soldiers and horses in total.

After such a great war, what troops would be left in Linyi? Even those who were left would be terrified after hearing the news of this war. How much fighting spirit would they have?

Therefore, after winning this great battle, Yang Su was successful in everything he did along the way. He continuously captured cities and conquered a large amount of territory in a short period of time.

Moreover, while he ordered the main force to advance step by step within the Linyi Kingdom according to the original plan, he also led two thousand southern barbarian warriors into the dense forests in the mountains of the Linyi Kingdom.

By infiltrating the dense forests in the mountains, the divine soldiers and generals launched a surprise attack on the Linyi royal city. When Yang Su's troops were already at the gates of the city, the people of Linyi finally woke up from their dream.

But at this time, it was too late!
Yang Su broke into the enemy's capital with an unstoppable force, broke into the Linyi Palace, captured the entire Linyi royal family, and officially declared the Linyi Kingdom extinct.

Ten months later, when the news of this battle began to spread to Southeast Asian countries, the news of the destruction of Linyi Kingdom shocked all Southeast Asian countries that received the news.
