Chapter 114: The Expeditionary Force of the Sea

The cold winter is finally coming to an end, and Canghai City, which has been silent for a winter, finally has a huge move in the half month after the Lantern Festival.

The Damang border guards have carried out the usual change of guards, but those who have noticed the slightest change of guard will notice that this change of guard is somewhat different from the past.

Lin Jiajun's policy for the Damang border defense is a kind of tandem defense based on forts, and every thousand zhang there will be an incomparably strong fort standing on the vast field.

Each fort is required to garrison 100 men for a long time. Because the distance between the forts is extremely short, if there is any change in the vicinity of the fort, the surrounding forts will be discovered in time and rush to reinforcements.

After the fort, there was the second-level battalion of the border army, and every thirty forts were deployed under one battalion, and three thousand defenders were stationed in the battalion. In case of a surprise attack by the reckless cavalry.

Behind the border battalion is the general battalion, and after every seven battalions, a general battalion will be uniformly dispatched, and each general battalion is stationed with 30,000 Lin family troops. The three general battalions, with a total of 200,000 troops, are the backbone of the Lin family army that has guarded the peace of the Han border for decades.

And this time the change of guard, the significant difference from the past is that almost all the soldiers in the second-level battalion were evacuated from Canghai City, and they were broken up into a hundred-man team, and since the year after the year, they have slowly withdrawn to Canghai City, with nearly 50,000 people.

The two huge white silk hanging in front of Canghai City have been worn out by the wind and snow, after a cold winter, the evil qi on the white silk on the two days does not seem to have decreased at all, but has become a little stronger, no one has lost attention to him because of its dilapidation, but it seems more vicissitudes.

Dahan, nine years of Jian'an, Qingming.

The disgusting winter finally has only a lingering tail left in everyone's expectations.

The atmosphere in Canghai City today seems to be much more solemn than before.

In the soldiers' school yard in the extreme east of Canghai City, there were nearly 50,000 people standing densely.

Their armor and upper bodies, all with their hands on the hilt of their swords, looked at the makeshift terrace at the front of the school grounds, as if they were waiting for something.

Then a man in white walked alone to the open-air platform in the eyes of 50,000 people.

On the watchtower, Yi Hanlan dragged his extremely beautiful chin, looking at Lin Ji who was steadily pedaling towards the terrace from a distance, his eyes were full of curiosity.

Lin Ji stood in the middle of the high platform, the filial piety belt around his waist still not taken off, and calmly looked at the silent 50,000 people.

"I think you must have a question for me. Lin Ji's gaze seemed to pass over everyone's face. Then he stopped at the front of his line of sight, the face of a somewhat immature soldier of the Lin family's army.

I felt the burning gaze of the prince. The young soldier couldn't help but nod vigorously.

"We have been preparing for a long time and waiting for a long time, but why has there been no order issued to you for a long time? Actually, it's because I have a question that I haven't thought through for a long time. ”

"Is war really the only option we have for revenge? I tried to find another way, but to no avail. And your anger has finally reached its peak. ”

"The wicked people in this world are supposed to love each other, and at least share the same hatred when facing the invasion of the ghost clan, but for some reason, it turned into a strange murder. ”

"In that war, I lost my father, and the Lin family army also lost 10,000 excellent soldiers, most of them did not die at the hands of the ghost clan, but died at the hands of humans, and died at the hands of comrades standing on a front, so I was very angry. ”

There was still silence on the school ground, but more and more thick wheezing sounds reached Lin Ji's ears, as if they were going to drown out the entire school field.

"My goal is simple, to punish the people and countries involved in this war, and I don't think that's too much. So that night, I killed the practitioner who killed my father, but I felt that it was not enough. Lin Ji's voice was blindly low, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, and every word and sentence was so clear and unforgettable.

"Bloody recklessness, stepping on Yanjing. Bloody and reckless, stepping on Yanjing ......" The soldier's emotions were completely mobilized by Lin Ji, and the anger that had been suppressed for more than a month finally broke out all the emotions.

Lin Ji's right hand gently pinched the Feng Xiao Sword beside him, and waved his left hand in the air.

The school field instantly became quiet again.

"Most of the soldiers present have followed the Lin family for more than ten years, Lin Ji is here to thank everyone for their trust in Canghai City and never give up, this expedition, our goal is very clear, is to learn the Yanjing Imperial City, so the combat distance of this attack is extremely long, and the speed of the line is extremely fast. So I only need 10,000. Of course, I'm afraid that there are not many people who can return to Canghai City again. Lin Ji glanced at the school field again and exhaled a light breath after scanning the school field for a week.

said: "War, people die. In this war, if you fight alone, more people will die. Soldiers who want to quit this expedition now can leave the school grounds and return to their original camp tomorrow. ”

As soon as Lin Ji said this, there was finally a slight sound of conversation on the quiet school ground, even if it was a well-trained army, it was impossible to stay calm when encountering such a big thing.

It was just a moment of panic, and then it regained its calm, and as Lin Ji's words fell, the gate to the west of the school was opened by the two, but after a long time, no one walked out.

Lin Ji nodded slightly, pursed the corners of his mouth, probably because of the wind, his eyes turned rosy.

"You are all the best soldiers of the Lin family army selected by thousands of people, but everyone should know that the larger the number, the greater the traces, which is not a good thing for us who are fighting alone. ”

Lin Ji's voice fell, and no one left.

Helpless, Lin Ji had no choice but to shake his head.

"The people who have a high hall in the mountains at home leave the school grounds. ”

The soldiers looked at each other and no one left.

Lin Ji looked at the young soldier in front of him who was very close to him and said, "How old are you this year." ”

The soldier was a little excited by Shizi's personal questioning, and even a little incoherent with excitement.

Loud shouting, "Seventeen." ”

"Oh, then your parents should be old enough to not be confused, right?"

"It's not there yet. The young soldier raised his head and said earnestly.

Lin Ji walked away happily and waved his hand at the soldiers under the terrace, and the two of them strode forward to carry the young soldiers in the crowd away from the school ground.

The soldier cried and begged to stay, but Lin Ji did not relent.

"The officers who led the team took their wives, sons and daughters, or soldiers from the high halls out of the school. ”

The sparse and reluctant footsteps finally sounded in the school field. Of course, the commanders know the family situation of each soldier, and there are always people who need to leave, so having a family to take care of is of course the best choice.

After the crowd that did not meet the requirements dispersed, the school field, which had been extremely crowded just now, finally relaxed.

Nearly 10,000 soldiers gathered together again.

Lin Ji was satisfied with this team of nearly 10,000 people.

"If you really have no relatives alive, maybe you are the best person to go with me this time. But since you have joined the Lin family's army, everyone in the Lin family's army is everyone's best brother, and I don't think you will be lonely. Lin Ji took a deep breath and straightened his waist, at this time he was very much like his father, like a general commanding thousands of troops.

The soldiers raised their swords high above them and shouted for the coming, vengeful battle.

At the end of the winter of the ninth year of the Han Jian'an.

The soldiers known as the "Canghai Expeditionary Force" assembled for the first time in the Canghai City campus, the commander of the expeditionary force Lin Ji, the deputy commanders Bi Kongqing, and Zhou Ziqian. There were 3,000 archers and 6,870 cavalrymen, making a total of 9,873 people.
