Chapter 2124: The Grand Duke's Plan
In just half an hour, the wolf smoke rising straight into the sky, and the flickering warning lights that made people look shocking all over the sky, filled most of the northern, southern, and western theaters of the human and demon battlefield.
However, it was the Northern Theater that was the first to raise wolf smoke.
The role of setting up beacons on the entire human and demon battlefield is to give early warning.
This kind of early warning will be passed on layer by layer, and there are many rules.
However, no matter which beacon tower the patrol soldiers are, as long as they see wolf smoke burning from the beacon nearby, they will instinctively wake up.
In the northern theater, the only thing that first ignited the wolf smoke was the seven beacon towers with cedars growing near the front line.
However, not to mention seven, even if a beacon tower ignites wolf smoke, the vigilance of the beacon towers and military strongholds near the surrounding area will be multiplied and multiplied.
Moreover, Ye Zhen re-issued the order before, as long as there is wolf smoke from one beacon tower, then the nearby beacon tower must be full of wolf smoke.
One is a warning, and the other is deterrence.
If there is really a large-scale attack, the wolf smoke that will rise in an instant will definitely make the enemy hesitate or doubt for a little time.
And this time can more or less win more opportunities for the garrison of the beacon tower to survive.
Ye Zhen is now trying to do everything possible to let more Beihai Tianlang soldiers survive.
In this case, the entire beacon tower of the Blood River Fortress was full of wolf smoke in less than sixty breaths.
More than ten advance shadow demon squads were all flustered when they saw the wolf smoke rising everywhere.
They clearly haven't launched an attack yet, and they haven't exposed their tracks, so why did the wolf smoke rise?
This is completely inconsistent with their plan and script.
What's especially fatal is that the garrisons of these beacon towers, after the wolf smoke rises, retreat quickly one by one.
And usually, the garrisons of these beacons will at least make contact with them before retreating, at least to figure out their approximate strength, and then retreat.
But this time, it's too abnormal.
And this anomalous result, in the entire northern theater of operations, caused a chain reaction.
It's like toppling dominoes, a series of chain reactions caught the demon army that had plans to invade by surprise.
Bordering Ye Zhen's Blood River Fortress is the Tianmu Military City and Yangliu Fortress, which are also subordinate to the Northern War Zone, when the wolf smoke rises in the entire territory of Ye Zhen's Blood River Fortress Defense Area, the beacon towers and strongholds near the border between Tianmu Military City and Yangliu Fortress and Blood River Fortress were directly frightened.
Such a dense warning signal, as well as the straight wolf smoke, are all signals for the demon army to attack on a large scale.
The timid captain of the beacon ordered a high degree of vigilance on the spot, and from time to time used detection methods.
And the bold captain of the beacon tower directly ignited the beacon fire.
With this burn, the wolf smoke from the beacon tower of Tianmu Military City and Yangliu Fortress spread like a plague.
The Shadow Demon Advance Team, who had just pulled out several beacon towers on the outermost part of Tianmu Military City, and the large army of the Demon Clan who followed up, were dumbfounded on the spot in the colorful snowy day.
How could it be found so quickly?
How can it be?
The beacon wolf smoke spread like a plague, especially some of the beacon towers that were quietly approached by the Shadow Demon advance team, and were startled by this beacon wolf smoke, and in an instant, they raised their vigilance to the extreme, and used rarely used detection methods.
In an instant, the Shadow Demon Advance Team was discovered, and the mournful horn, wolf smoke, and runic light rose at the same time.
The military situation was also reported to the marshals of the various armies at the first time, and then summarized to the governors of the theaters and the governors of the capitals.
From the first pillar of the beacon fire began to rise in the early morning, in the middle of the night, the beacon fire and alarm charms in the entire northern, western, and southern theaters of the war zone did not stop.
The shouting of killing, the smell of blood, and the firelight made the battlefield of people and demons, which was originally quiet because of the heavy snow, boil in an instant.
This sudden invasion gradually ceased on the night of January 13.
The Great Zhou and the Demon Clan have been fighting against each other on the battlefield of humans and demons for tens of thousands of years, and they already have hundreds of countermeasures to this kind of raid.
After the initial confusion and surprise, the governors of the theaters and the marshals of the armies responded calmly, decisively abandoned the troops and dispatched troops, re-established the defensive line, and stabilized the situation.
The army of the invading demons can only suspend the offensive.
After fighting with Da Zhou for so many years, the commander of the demon clan has already understood that the bone of Da Zhou is also extremely difficult to gnaw.
If the raid allows them to have a slight advantage in the early stages and break through a part of the defense.
Then the next battle will be one hard battle after another, and if this kind of surprise attack is used, it will be sending people to the Great Zhou soldiers.
Therefore, the demon army also stopped raiding and began to build camps.
Similarly, on the side of the Great Zhou army, it also needs to be corrected and assembled before it can start a counteroffensive.
Both sides entered an extremely brief period of silence after the Great War.
In the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the Eastern Theater, Metropolitan Governor Ji Yuan looked at the battle reports sent by the major theaters one after another, and his face was very ugly.
Midnight day.
In just the middle of the night, more than 110,000 soldiers died in various major war zones!
The deaths of more than 110,000 soldiers were mainly concentrated in the beacon towers and military strongholds stationed in the northern, western, and southern theaters, and were very scattered.
If this is put together, it already represents the loss of a battle.
Such high casualties are related to the weather chosen by the demons, and it is also related to the fact that the demon army has not carried out such a large-scale and large-scale attack for many years.
To put it bluntly, all the war zones on the battlefield of humans and demons are a little careless.
However, the difference between the battle reports sent by the damaged three major war zones made the eyelids of the Metropolitan Governor Ji Yuan and the first staff officer Gu Yue jump.
In the southern theater, 55,000 soldiers were killed, in the western theater more than 47,000, and in the northern theater, less than 10,000 were killed.
If this disparity in casualties does not explain the problem, then in the northern theater, there are casualties in as few as 100 or as many as 1,000 in other military cities and fortresses.
However, only the casualties of Tianmu Military City and Yangliu Fortress, which are adjacent to the Blood River Fortress, are less than 100 people, and as for the Blood River Fortress, there are zero casualties!
And the invading Shadow Demon Advance Team discovered by the Blood River Fortress has at least seven!
This is already telling.
Moreover, even in other war zones, there are also some casualties in fortresses and military cities, which are obviously much lower than those in surrounding fortresses and military cities.
The reason, as the Metropolitan Governor in charge of the human and demon battlefield, Ji Yuan already knows it in his heart.
Most of these are after receiving Ye Zhen's jade slip on the law of the thousand-year campaign, and obviously believing Ye Zhen's speculation about the military units that have strengthened training and vigilance.
In this way, this time, things are a little embarrassing.
"What do you think?" Ji Yuan looked at the staff officer on one side, that is, the military advisor Gu Yue, with a gloomy face.
Hearing this, Gu Yue hurriedly stood up and bowed down and said, "Dadu Governor, my subordinates have been busy with internal affairs for a while, but they have neglected the movements of the demon army, and they have asked Dadu Governor to punish the crime." ”
"This king is not asking about this, but about how to eliminate the influence!"
"A few months ago, Na Ye Zhen once sent information to this king that the demon clan would launch a thousand-year campaign, and was beaten back by this king.
Now, his information has come true.
Moreover, this matter is known to everyone because of the jade slip of the law of the thousand-year battle sent by him, this time, I am afraid that it will make this son in the limelight!
And most of our Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will be criticized and even complained about by the garrison that has lost its troops. Prince Ji Yuan said with a gloomy face.
Gu Yue didn't answer immediately, but muttered in a circle for a while, before he said slowly, "Governor, my subordinates think that these things are not important.
The important thing is that if the demon army launched this time is really a thousand-year battle, then the plan of the Grand Governor can also take advantage of the trend, and the certainty of success will soar in a straight line!"
As soon as these words came out, a terrifying light suddenly burst out in the eyes of the Grand Governor Ji Yuan, and he suddenly walked in front of Gu Yue, "How to take advantage of the situation, Mr. Speak quickly!"
Set yourself a small goal first: such as collecting:. Mobile version URL: m.
