448. March
The main forces of the Primorsky Expeditionary Force were mobilized and reorganized only three days after the operational meeting. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, tens of thousands of people marched from the barracks of the city defense army to the front line.
Before them, the vanguard reconnaissance force had already set off two days earlier.
Residents of the seaside are in the middle of the road to say goodbye. From time to time, brightly dressed girls cross the crowd, rush to their lovers, and kiss each other. At such moments, there are no whistles, no sarcastic military discipline, only warm cheers and blessings. Infected by the frenzied atmosphere, people crowded the streets and shouted congratulations for a triumphant return.
Zhou Qingxue looked away, leaned in the carriage and sighed. Sun Xiang looked at her and asked, "The three armies are open, and Elder Zhou, as the commander-in-chief, seems to be in a bad mood. ”
Zhou Qingxue glanced at him. The head of Sun Da seems to particularly dislike to be in the limelight. For example, the city lord of Binhai, he insisted on being served by Yu Xiaoyue. For example, the commander of the expeditionary force, Zhou Qingxue repeatedly resigned, but the head of Sun Da just thought that she was more suitable, and he himself just hung the identity of a military advisor.
I don't know where Boss Sun's behind-the-scenes style comes from, in short, until now, ordinary people don't know that the person in front of them is the culprit of all the incidents.
But since the head of Sun Da is happy, then so be it. Zhou Qingxue no longer dwelled on this issue, but just sighed at the fanaticism outside the car window: "Three years ago, the human race attacked the demon clan forces on a large scale, and the troops were also marching from the coast at that time. It's a pity that most of them didn't come back. ”
Zhou Qingxue, as a witness of that battle, remembers it vividly. Invincible demon generals appeared out of thin air on the front line, and no human cultivator could fight against them. The front line quickly collapsed, and the cultivators used their own housekeeping skills to flee to the rear.
It's a pity for the millions of soldiers, who don't have the ability to escape as cultivators. Abandoned in the war zone, they faced the encirclement of the demons with their flesh and blood and rifles like burning sticks in their hands.
None of them fled back.
If it weren't for Yu Xiaoyue's efforts to turn the tide and stand up in danger to kill the vanguard general of the demon clan, he would be able to stabilize the coastal defense line. Maybe at that time, the demon clan alliance had already destroyed all the way north and wiped out the human forces.
This is a scar in the hearts of many practitioners that is difficult to heal, and it is touching to see the same scene again today. Of course, Zhou Qingxue is not a disappointer. For Sun Xiang's concern, she just smiled and shirked her worries about the situation ahead.
Sun Da waved his hand: "Don't worry, everything is under control." ”
After speaking, he threw a line of oversized barrages directly in front of the army:
The whole army marches!
Each word is the size of a city gate, and then there is a big arrow pointing forward.
The morale of the generals was boosted and they made a promise.
The Ancient Xuanmen were all old people with white beards, and they would definitely not have developed such a strange spell. This is what Master Sun stole from the keyboard. His mental method can analyze the configuration of all spells, and the barrage technique spewed out by the keyboard is not very complicated, so Master Sun learned it after a few attempts.
The basic barrage technique does not require much cultivation, but the larger the font, the more divine thoughts are consumed. If you want to throw out such a big barrage as the head of Sun Da, you need at least 10,000 thoughts of support.
Therefore, the head of Sun Da likes this spell very much, because whether it is a command or a quarrel, there is definitely no one who has a louder voice than him.
As we all know, the bigger the barrage, the more justice!
It is impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to be drawn at once, and more than 20 battalions of soldiers have been activated one after another, and the whole process will take almost a day. However, Sun Xiang and Zhou Qingxue could not be postponed forever, they actually arrived at Pingchun Fortress in the morning with the division headquarters of the forward Song Xing.
The fortress has already made preparations, because the garrison officer Jiang Ping also needs to go on the expedition, so among the battalions that came with Sun Xiang, there are two squadrons of city defense troops to change defenses.
Sun Xiang and Jiang Ping's officers had a meal together in the fortress, during which Sun Da joked and asked Jiang Ping to count his men. lest Xiang Fei mess around in it again.
Jiang Ping called Xiang Fei on the spot to make sure she hadn't left Binhai. This expedition was full of elites, and there were not many people around Yu Xiaoyue. Xiang Fei decided to stay with her "Sister Xiaoyue". Sun Xiang praised Xiaofei for being sensible on the phone.
After this meal, Sun Xiang and Jiang Ping said goodbye. Jiang Pingbu needed to go to Changping, while Song Xingbu would go to his old club, Huaishan, to join the lord of Guochang. The two sides are not the same route.
After a short rest, the troops continued to move with supplies replenished in Pyongchun. Large and small armored vehicles were full of hitchhikers, but many more soldiers could only advance on foot, not very fast. There was a squad leader equipped with a mobile exoskeleton of the Xuanke Academy, and he rushed from the back of the team to the front with great power, and he activated the short-distance jet device from time to time, jumping more than ten meters. The eyes of the ordinary soldiers walking on the eleventh road below were extremely hot.
Several white coats sat in a small car, chasing the motorized exoskeleton and running around. One of the white coats stuck out his head and shouted, "Don't touch that red button!!"
So why do you have to emphasize this?
This is followed by all kinds of chickens flying and dog jumping.
With the help of a large number of vehicles, the 30,000 men of Song Xing's army marched less than 40 kilometers in one afternoon. Although the road is clear, after leaving the defense circle of Pyongchun Fortress, the surrounding area is no longer safe. Dozens of scout teams were sent around the large force to scout and disperse small groups of monsters.
On the command vehicle of the division headquarters, some small unmanned reconnaissance planes were also released. They buzzed and flew farther away. In the connected video screen, you can see the traces of monsters flashing in the jungle. These monsters have the same instincts as beasts and know how to avoid such a large army of humans as much as possible.
But it is not excluded that a few hungry people take risks, or the ubiquitous miasma monsters in the jungle, and the purpose of the investigation is this. However, all the way to the west, there were no accidents.
This place is still nearly fifty kilometers away from the next stop, Huaishan City, and the opponent's joint team has already caught up, but it is impossible for the large army to arrive before night falls.
The division ordered the whole army to set up camp, and the soldiers set up marching tents on the spot, and also lit piles of bonfires. These bright flames are neither for lighting nor for cooking.
Floodlights scattered throughout the camp provide soft, sleep-free lighting, while meals are provided by special cooking carts, and soldiers simply carry their lunch boxes to fill them with hot meals.
These bonfires were lit to protect against certain plague-type monsters. These strange transparent air currents don't show up in the sun, but at night, they slowly seep out of the dirt, killing the unsuspecting humans and even demons on them.
But this dastardly stealth demon is especially afraid of fire, and the slightest spark can make them sizzle. Therefore, when a large army is operating in the field, it is necessary to raise a bonfire at night, which is a valuable experience summed up by countless blood and tears.
