In the underworld, the mouth of the Lechuan River that flows into the North Bitter Sea, the high slope on the south bank, is the big tent of the Beigong servant army, and the Beigong is stationed in the highest military command in the other world.

Under the gloomy sky, Qiu Yuanye stood outside the big tent of the Chinese army, looking at the vast desert plain that stretched on the north bank of the Lechuan River, and the noisy and bustling city on the plain, the capital of the underworld, the Nine Hidden City where the Hades Mansion was stationed.

The supreme military headquarters of the Beigong Servant Army is located on the south bank of the Lechuan River, and the underworld is ruled by a river, and so far, the two sides still maintain a fragile non-aggression agreement, but each of them is secretly rearming for war.

Qiu Yuanye remembered a military report not long ago, and was very angry, the content of the report was that the exquisite ancient city in the hinterland of the Western Regions and the desert had completely annihilated his army of 50,000 elite soldiers from the Great Western Continent a few days ago, which was a great shame for him since the beginning of the war. He returned to the tent, walked to a katana stand, drew a long katana, and slashed into the void at a piece of paper on the desk in front of him, and saw the paper silently split in two.

"Order, ask General Murong Ke to come to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss important matters, and, by the way, call that General Hou Jinghou over with him. ”

The herald hurriedly walked out of the Chinese army's tent.

After a while, a tall and clear middle-aged man strode in, only to see that he was wearing a white brocade robe, with a crown and a broad belt, and his instrument was magnificent. Hanging a Longquan sword on the waist, the scabbard is refined of black sandalwood, the sheath is carved with a dragon pattern, decorated with gold and jade, and the silk silk of Hetian jade hangs down on the hilt. Standing in the center of the big tent, he shook his fist at Qiu Yuanye and said, "Marshal Qiu, what is the military situation, please instruct." ”

As soon as Qiu Yuanye saw the person coming, he hurriedly greeted him, put his hands on the man's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Brother Murong, excuse me, this time you are very tired, alas, it is really those who lead the troops below are really pus, and they can't even take a lonely city in the desert of the Western Regions." I'm really.

"Haha, Qiu Dashuai, a lonely city in the desert, why bother with such a trivial matter. ”

"Haha, Brother Murong, that's exactly what happened, so, come to you, let's discuss it. Haha, others go, I'm really a little worried. According to the news that the scouts heard back, the leader of the elite bandit army was the one who had fought with our army once in the Nantian Heavenly Court, and it seemed that his name was Fanxiang An anti-god from another world, but unfortunately, my arrow didn't kill him at the beginning. Ha ha. ”

"Oh, I see, no wonder, ordinary people are really not that guy's opponent. ”

"That's it, I don't invite you to come, I'm a brother, I want your son-in-law Murong Ling to help me with this, this time your son-in-law will personally lead the troops to destroy him, I think, they are just a low-end civilization, we exterminate them, it's as easy as pinching an ant to death, so, it's still the old way, don't use the resources, artifacts and heavenly soldiers of the Beigong Heavenly Court Headquarters, and destroy them with the resources, ordnance and servant army that the other world can have, it should be no problem." Now, the above is urgent, let's make a battle plan to attack the underworld as soon as possible, so this time, as a brother, I have to ask you to come out, and urge your son Murong Ling to fight quickly and take that bandit nest to the pot, so that we can concentrate on dealing with the other side of the river. ”

After a pause, he looked at Murong Ke, smiled slightly, and continued: "According to the above principles of resource utilization and land use in the other world, try to consume all the intelligent species in this other world, and just like the previous five times, we will once again erase the life of this other world and recreate the species that obey the will of our god race." This time, I let the one who had tyrannically slaughtered the city in the Jiangnan area of Dongshengzhou

Hou Jing led 100,000 demon wolf soldiers to be the vanguard for your son-in-law, first do the dirty work, and then, your son-in-law will lead the troops to advance, how"

"Well, let's put it mildly, I'll urge Ling'er to lead the troops. ”

"Okay, Brother Murong, take the order. The military order is as follows: Murong Ke, the supreme military commander of the Beigong stationed in another world, is also the commander of the elite encirclement and suppression army, and Murong Ling is the general of the encirclement and suppression army, and the assembly of all armies will be carried out on the same day, leading 300,000 troops, and the traitor Fan Xiang and others will be exterminated within 15 days. This Order"

"Huh" Murong Ke took the arrow, shook his fist at Qiu Yuanye, turned around and walked to sit on the chair placed on the side of the big tent.

"General Hou Jing entered the account. ”

The herald walked outside the tent and shouted, "General Hou Jing has entered the tent to listen to the order." ”

"Wow. I saw a rude military general with a wolf's head and eyes striding in, standing in the center of the big tent, slamming his fist at Qiu Yuanye, and said loudly: "Report to the generalissimo, and report to the junior general Hou Jing." ”

"Very good, General Hou Jing listens to the order, you take 100,000 demon wolf soldiers to listen to the order under the account of General Murong Ke, cooperate with the Southern Expedition General Murong Ling, serve as the vanguard of the front army, go to the ancient city of the Western Regions, exterminate Fan Xiang and other rebels, and complete the military task within fifteen days, this order. ”

"No" Hou Jing received the order, bowed, turned around and bowed to the general Murong Ke, and said, "The junior general is waiting for the general's military order." ”

"General Hou is exempt, today you will lead the 100,000 soldiers of the headquarters first, and wait for me at the mouth of the Wufu Canyon, and I will arrive later. Murong Ke stood up, returned the salute, looked at Hou Jing, and said calmly.

"Huh" Hou Jing led the order out of the big tent, went to rectify the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and went to the mouth of the Wufu Gorge to assemble.

Murong Ke turned around, saluted Qiu Yuanye, and said, "Marshal Qiu, don't pass it over, wait for the brother's military intelligence to come back." ”

"Okay, Brother Murong, you have worked hard for this trip, and when you return from a great victory, when the time comes, when the brother's will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you. ”

"Okay" Murong Ke clenched his fists and saluted, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

At the mouth of the Wufu Gorge, a group of sergeants who had changed into cross-border equipment were marching into the Wufu Gorge, and the endless desert outside the valley was full of simple marching tents, densely packed, thousands of miles of camps, and there were still millions of human and demon soldiers waiting to change into cross-border equipment and prepare to enter the south bank of the underworld to assemble.

It was almost noon, in a temporary military tent, the highest military meeting of the encirclement and suppression army in the Western Regions of the North Palace was being held. Murong Ke, the supreme commander of the encirclement and suppression army, stood in front of the topographic map of the Taklamakan Desert, looked at the generals and his son Murong Ling sitting around the simple conference table, pointed to the map and said: "We are now located at the easternmost end of the Wakhan Corridor, and the Jingjue Kingdom is located in the north of the southern route of the Silk Road, and the route of the southern route is on the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert. Shanshan, and Jingjue are 460 miles east of Micheng, about two days' journey according to the usual marching speed, Jingjue is in the north of Ronglu City, about four days north of the Keriya River valley, and Jingjue is in the northwest of Jimocheng, about five days of marching along the west of the Zdow River. In each of the above cities, there are servant armies passing by to rest, and the grain, grass, baggage, and siege equipment are very complete. If we gather 300,000 troops at the mouth of this Wufu Gorge, bring our ordnance and baggage, and then go out to attack Jingji, we will not be able to complete this military plan in ten days, so we will not be able to transfer troops here if the order of the foreign monarch is not affected. ”

Looking at the generals seated, his voice paused, and continued: "This commander has decided that General Hou Jing will serve as the commander of the encirclement and suppression army on the western road, and as the vanguard of the encirclement and suppression army, he will lead the headquarters of 100,000 demon light cavalry,

From this valley mouth to Micheng, and then through the hinterland of the desert directly into the west gate of the elite city, the soldiers are very fast, the marching time is limited to five days, be sure to arrive before 14 o'clock in the afternoon after the five days, and begin to attack the elite bandit army. The other two roads were arranged as follows: the first way, General Zhan Liu, as the commander of the encirclement and suppression army on the east road, led ten commanders after the meeting, took the ground effect aircraft specially configured by the Beigong Heavenly Court for the senior generals of the servant army, set off to the end of the city to assemble the passing servant army, led the army west along the Zidu River Valley, and arrived at the Jingjue City within seven days, and then stationed at the east gate, and surrounded the Chinese army led by Murong Ling; Here, after our army has become an encirclement situation in the east, west, and north, the encirclement is missing one, and General Ouyang Xun takes 50,000 military horses as a guerrilla army to guard the south gate and annihilate the enemy fleeing from the south gate. ”

"At the same time, I would like to emphasize that according to the information brought back by the scouts, ten miles from the Exquisite West Gate is a swampland, and it is necessary to detour to the south and enter a poplar forest belt of more than 30 square kilometers to reach the outside of the city wall of the Exquisite West City. Ben Shuai hereby reminds that General Nangong Yi led 50,000 elite soldiers to encircle and suppress the elite a few days ago, and the reason why the whole army was annihilated was that the first was slow to act, the second was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, and the third was that he did not understand the terrain, and he ventured into the encirclement of the bandit army at night, which led to the death of the army. If you can't capture the city within two days, you will be stationed outside the west gate, and you will join our main army to besiege the city. ”

After Murong Ke made military arrangements, he looked at the generals present and asked, "Who else is not clear?"

The generals stood up and said loudly, "No."

"Okay, then the generals will go and exterminate the essence and make meritorious contributions. ”

The generals were ordered to go and set off for the city where they were deployed.

Hou Jing went to rectify the men and horses of the headquarters, changed all the heavy armored cavalry into light cavalry wearing leather armor, and immediately set off, marching in the starry night, and after arriving at Micheng at five o'clock in the morning of the third day, he sent several pairs of scouts to the Jingjue country to inquire about intelligence.

The whole army rested for a while.

The scouts who came back one after another reported to Hou Jing and described in detail the specific situation of the Taklamakan Desert. The Taklamakan Desert is a mobile desert. The sand dunes move to the southeast under the influence of the northwest wind in the west, and the sand dunes move to the southwest under the influence of the northeast wind in the east, and the wind and sand activities are very frequent and violent, and the mobile sand dunes account for more than 80. Only at the edge of the desert and along the banks of rivers deep into the desert are fixed and semi-fixed shrub sand piles, mainly red willow sand piles.

There are 460 miles of land from Micheng to Jingjue City, and the middle is a long desert Gobi, and you will pass through the Holy Sepulchre Mountain and Black Oil Mountain on the way. There is a book that says: "There are two roads from Yumen Yangguan to the Western Regions, from Shanshan to the north of Nanshan, the west of the Po River to the south of Shache, from the former Wang Ting of the Cheshi to the North Mountain, and the west of the Bo River to Shule is the north road." ”

According to the records of the people who passed by, most of the roads between the Castami River and the Jingjue Ancient City to the end of the Taklamakan Desert passed through the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, "the east of the Castami River enters the sand moraine and travels more than 200 miles to the city of Niyang, from which the easterners have a large quicksand, gather and scatter with the wind, and the people have no trace, so they get lost, and the four distances are boundless, I don't know what they are referring to, it is to come and go, gather the remains to remember it." Lack of water and grass, and a lot of hot wind. When the wind rises, people and animals fall into a coma, and they become sick. This account faithfully reflects the difficulty of transportation and travel in the mobile desert area, due to the burial of wind and sand, there is no fixed road in the desert, and pedestrians have to pile up the bones they have picked up to remember the way.
