People in Naruto: Hyuga Branch? Start now! - Chapter 368
c368 Liberation of the East Sea
On October 28, members of the newly formed Fifth Army of the Revolutionary Army marched to the East China Sea.
The 120,000 Revolutionary Army soldiers who had received new culture and new ideas and the Navy’s Six-style teachings were like tigers out of their cages. They took down the member states of the World Government in half a day, which is also a large grain-producing area: the Kingdom of Oilet!
This kingdom sounds strange, but it is actually the hometown of Nami and Nokigo.
Back then, there was a pirate incident here, and the Navy Bell-Mel fought here and picked up two babies.
The total area of the Kingdom of Oilet is larger than that of Alabasta, and unlike Alabasta, which is full of deserts, the entire island here is a plain, so it is very suitable for growing grain.
Because of the fertile land, the grain output here is not only high, but also of good quality. The price of Oilet rice in the market is the first tier.
The grain of the Kingdom of Oilet not only supports Marijoa all year round, but also supports the front line in large quantities after the East China Sea Anti-bandit War started.
One-third of the 400,000 soldiers under Steel Bone need to be provided by Oilet!
But now, this part of the food is cut off!
Not only that, where there is a lot of food, oppression is inevitable. The Kingdom of Oilet is also full of noble landlords. The vast majority of farmers have cultivated so much food, but they are not full all year round.
There are still a large number of people starving to death during the good years, not to mention that they have to support the front line now, and the lives of farmers are even more miserable.
So far, not only has the food and grass of the Steel Bone Air Force Corps been cut off, but Ningyuan has also formed a new Sixth Army and Seventh Army.
The two armies have a total of 250,000 people!
Although 250,000 people were recruited, the farmers’ willingness to join the army was too strong, so Ningyuan recruited another 500,000 soldiers on the spot to serve as reserves, guards, and security forces.
These 750,000 people were recruited from farmers who were allocated fields. Although they were not strong, their revolutionary will was much stronger than that of the Fifth Army soldiers.
Ningyuan asked Sanda Sonya and 7 members of the guards to lead the Sixth Army, and Mary Gorud and 7 members of the guards to lead the Seventh Army.
Even though these two armies have the sacred knowledge base to transfer knowledge, it is easy to make progress in thought, but it will take time to catch up in combat effectiveness.
Not being able to fight a tough battle does not mean being useless.
If you can’t beat the Steel Bone Corps, can’t you beat those corrupt kingdom armies?
Ning Yuan ordered the two armies to attack from the east and west. The Sixth Army attacked and liberated along the route of Rogue Town-Polaris Islands-Coquia Island-Konomi Islands.
The Seventh Army attacked along the direction of Luais Islands-Seno Islands.
The Fifth Army went straight forward and attacked along the direction of Moonlight Islands (Sibro Village)-Organ Islands (Orange Town).
In the end, the three armies will meet at Siye Island.
The day the three armies meet is the day when the East China Sea Revolution is completed.
On November 2, the three armies separated, and Ning Yuan Hancock followed the Fifth Army.
There is not even a country on the Moonlight Islands, but the power of the World Government does exist, which is the village police of three villages.
After a simple trial, the village police of three villages were shot dead, and the three villages were brought under the rule of the Revolutionary Army.
Without recruiting soldiers here, the Fifth Army continued to advance. After landing on the Organ Islands, it only sent one regiment to destroy the kingdom on the island and liberate the entire island.
There is also a talent on this island, named Bootel.
42 years ago, the location of Orange Town was burned to a white land by pirates. It was Bootel who led everyone to rebuild the town and eventually formed a brand new port, Orange Town.
Later, Orange Town was occupied by Buggy, and it was Bootel who temporarily stabilized the Buggy Pirates and prevented the pirates from causing too much damage to the town.
In view of his high prestige in this country, Ning Yuan simply set this place as a province, named Organ Province, and then let him serve as a senior official.
The arrival of the Fifth Army could not be concealed from the Steel Bone Corps. After all, there was a long stick island between the Organ Province and the Four Leaf Island, and the small fishing boats ran for half a day to get there, so the news could not be concealed at all.
Until now, no one thinks that Ning Yuan is very strong. They all think that he is lucky and has been rudimentary.
But the commander of the Fifth Army is a white beard after all. Ganggu did not dare to be careless and immediately deployed defenses on Changgun Island.
He learned from the practice of the Revolutionary Army, arranging positions on the front line and setting up artillery positions in the rear.
This formation is useless even if the Demon Slayer Order comes. He attacked twice and lost 100,000 soldiers. He has not recovered until now.
I, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, have no way to face this formation. Do you, a newly established unit, have any way?
Then, he saw a battleship!
With Ning Yuan’s ability, it is a simple matter to build a battleship, let alone repair it.
With a 381mm naval gun, no grass will grow within a radius of 30 meters, and all people and animals will die!
The killing of naval guns is secondary. The most terrifying thing is its blow to morale.
Seeing your comrades-in-arms annihilated in this world with a single shot, I believe that few people can withstand it.
Moreover, the morale of the Steel Bone Corps was not very good. They had surrounded the Revolutionary Army for two months, suffered heavy casualties and made no progress. Most of the soldiers of the Steel Bone Corps were locals from the East China Sea. They had heard about the rebels in their hometown a long time ago!
It was not the army brought by Ning Yuan. It was a rebel army that was born long before the Rebel Army because of the large number of soldiers lost and the conflicts between the soldiers’ families and the nobles.
There were rebels at home, and the Revolutionary Army could not defeat them. The Navy reinforcements were delayed. Later, they heard the news that the Navy headquarters was annihilated. The morale of the Steel Bone Corps was on the verge of collapse.
When the naval gun shells fell, the Steel Bone Corps exploded directly.
With the slogan of the Fifth Army soldiers not to be killed if they surrendered, the soldiers of the Steel Bone Corps began to surrender in an organized manner.
This time, Ning Yuan did not increase the strength of the Fifth Army, but now formed the Eighth Army, using these surrendered soldiers as the main force.
However, because there were no decent talents on hand, and because of his special feelings for this army, Ning Yuan personally served as the commander of this army, with Hancock as the staff officer, and then gave all soldiers the ability of animal devil fruits.
So far, whether it is the peak combat power or the average combat power of the soldiers, the Eighth Army has jumped up and reached the top of all the legions!
The Fifth and Eighth Armies have a total of 250,000 troops. The Sixth and Seventh Armies are also expanding as they conquer cities and recruit soldiers in various countries. When they arrived near the Four Leaf Islands, the troops had reached as many as 400,000.
250,000, 400,000, and Dongdao has another 400,000 revolutionary troops, the total force added up to 1.05 million!
Not only are there many soldiers, but the high-level combat power is also exaggerated.
Ningyuan, Hancock, Whitebeard, Rayleigh, Crane, Dragon…
On the side of Steel Bone, there is only one Steel Bone and three Army Generals of the same level, and Steel Bone is an old man in his eighties!
How to fight this! ?
Beat!
November 16th is still a very ordinary day, but after today, this day is named East China Sea Liberation Day and has become the most grand festival of the year in East China Sea.
The four armies attacked in three directions and launched the final attack on the Steel Bone Corps.
The battle lasted less than an hour, and 60,000 of the 300,000 soldiers of the Steel Bone Corps died in battle, and the rest surrendered.
The commander-in-chief of the army, Steel Bone, and his generals were surrounded by a bunch of strong men including Whitebeard, Dragon, Hancock, Rayleigh, Crane, Ace, Marco, George, Sandersonia, etc. They couldn’t fight or escape.
In the end, they all surrendered!
At this point, the East China Sea Campaign ended and the East China Sea was fully liberated!
