These feudal towns of Daheng have been fighting for the world for decades, and all parties are arguing, no one is convinced of anyone, and it is difficult for anyone to contend with other feudal towns at the same time.

However, now a little bastard who didn't even grow his hair suddenly appeared, shouting for the unification of Daheng every day, but there was still a group of people following him, especially the young people in Nanhai Prefecture, all of them surrounded Lin Ziran like chicken blood, shouting about the unification of Daheng every day.

What's more, this Lin Ziran really led the Southern Navy to punch Ning Yuzhou and kick Dongdingzhou, and now he is about to beat Zishengzhou.

If you don't care and let Lin Ziran develop like this, it is really possible for people to win Zishengzhou.

After Zishengzhou, a large southern state, also fell into the hands of Lin Ziran, there would be no big feudal towns in the six southern states that could stop Lin Ziran.

It is a high probability that the six southern states will be controlled by Lin Ziran one by one.

Can the major feudal towns tolerate this kind of thing?

No!

In the past, it was not that there was no big feudal town, but there was never a large feudal town that could carry the joint encirclement and suppression of other feudal towns, and then take the second state strongly, occupying the land of the two states, let alone Lin Ziran, who rushed to seize the third state.

And Lin Ziran's expansion has not yet seen the momentum of stopping!

It worries them, makes them afraid!

Without much persuasion from Feng Ziqi before, they had already sent a fleet south, and the Ji royal family in Jingzhou began to mobilize troops to prepare for the south, and there had already been a small-scale exchange of fire with Lin Ziran's garrison troops deployed in the northeast of Dongdingzhou.

Now, seeing that Zishengzhou is about to be finished, these northern feudal towns, including the Ji royal family in Jingzhou, can't sit still one by one.

began to mobilize troops to prepare for the south, but it was extremely difficult to get these northern feudal towns to completely unite and resist Lin Ziran in the south.

What, in these feudal towns, except for the outside of Jingzhou Jihuang, the territory of other feudal towns does not border with Lin Ziran, if they want to go south, they have to cross Jingzhou or Zisheng Prefecture, Quyang Prefecture and other places.

Is Gyeongju willing to let other feudal towns enter?

Just kidding, the Ji royal family is also afraid of death, okay!

Although the Ji royal family has fallen down, and the overall strength has been reduced to the same as that of a state domain, people continue to stare at the name of Emperor Daheng, even if they can't restore the unity of Daheng, but they still have to keep Jingzhou and keep the title of emperor.

What if several other feudal towns in the north go south and take advantage of Jingzhou to destroy the Ji royal family?

Quyang Prefecture, Zhongluo Prefecture and other places also have such concerns.

Zishengzhou didn't have much scruples, anyway, they were in danger now, and they didn't care about other northern feudal towns entering through the channel.

But the problem is that at most, only two neighboring feudal towns in the north can enter Zisheng Prefecture, and the other states still can't!

Although the two neighboring states can send troops south, do they dare to do their best?

Don't dare, what if you send too many troops and your rear is empty, what if other states come over?

Lin Ziran is an enemy, and so are the other feudal towns!

It's just that Lin Ziran's enemy is the most powerful and the most threatening.

How to put it, the suspicion and balance between the various feudal towns in Daheng have lasted for decades, and there is no way for them to let go of their suspicion in a short period of time.

But under Feng Ziqi's persuasion, and Lin Ziran's threat was too great, these feudal towns still found a compromise solution with each other, that is, each sent a number of troops, you sent 20,000, I sent 30,000, and finally formed a coalition army into Zisheng Prefecture and cooperated with the Zisheng Prefecture army to fight against Lin Ziran.

If the feudal towns send few troops, it will not affect the internal defense, and there is no need to worry about other feudal towns taking the opportunity to kill them, and if there are only tens of thousands of people crossing the border, the borrowed states can tolerate it, and anyway, relying only on these tens of thousands of people, it is impossible to pose an actual threat to the borrowed states along the way.

In the end, more than 10 feudal towns of various sizes in the seven northern states began to gather people, and finally the preliminarily determined large and small feudal towns together gathered nearly 200,000 troops to support Zishengzhou.

There is only one purpose, Lin Ziran cannot be allowed to occupy Zisheng Prefecture, and it is best to expel Lin Ziran's troops and drive them back to Nanhai Prefecture.

It is worth noting that their goal is not to completely kill Lin Ziran, which is also not in the interests of the northern states, because after killing Lin Ziran, who will benefit the most?

It must be a few states in the south, especially Zisheng Prefecture!

At that time, Zishengzhou took the opportunity to expand its territory and directly occupied Dongding Prefecture and Nanhai Prefecture?

When the time comes, won't Feng Ziqi become Lin Ziran's second?

Again, this is something they cannot tolerate.

So the best result is to keep Zishengzhou and expel Lin Ziran back, but you can't completely kill Lin Ziran.

It is best to let Zi Shengjun and Lin Ziran continue to fight to the death and consume each other.

The contact between the northern states and Zisheng Prefecture, even Lin Ziran himself has heard of it, such a big matter cannot be concealed at all, and even ordinary people who pay attention to current affairs know that the northern states are going to unite to fight Lin Ziran in the south.

But this situation was already expected by Lin Ziran and the top brass of the Southern Navy.

When he decided to enter Dongdingzhou, Lin Ziran had already expected this situation.

But he still decided to do it, that is, he wanted to establish a strategic advantage before they could reflect it.

If you voluntarily stop your expansion because you are afraid of the union of other states, the longer it drags on, the more detrimental it will be to your side.

The biggest advantage of the South China Navy at present is the superiority of rear-loading guns, especially the superiority of rear-loading rifled guns.

And this advantage cannot be sustained for long!

The Daheng Empire is not only an industrial zone like Nanhai Prefecture, but the defense industry strength of other states is not weak.

Zishengzhou can imitate the Luo'an III rifle and rear-loading artillery, and the arsenal in Jingzhou and the arsenal in other northern states are estimated to be about the same.

After waiting for a year and a half, Lin Ziran will need to face a large number of other feudal town troops equipped with rear-loading guns.

Even if the difficulties faced now are greater, it is still better than fighting a group of feudal troops equipped with rear-loading guns in the future.

For this reason, the northward troops of the Southern Navy, under the personal command of Lin Ziran, still quickly advanced into Zishengzhou, and successfully conquered many cities along the way.

Finally, we successfully arrived at the city of Chongke!

When Lin Ziran led his troops to Chongke City, the Chongke City he saw had already entered a state of war in an all-round way, and many hills on the outskirts of the city had been heavily defended, and there were many forts on it.

Many key nodes in the suburbs are also deployed with fortresses, trenches, and the like.

The whole city has been turned into a fortress.
