When Zhang Ji led a large army to Xiatao, the battle in the city was over.

Many of the infantry soldiers were depressed.

Since the Golden War Horse, on the frontal battlefield, they seem to have become bystanders, completely playing the role of soy sauce, going through the motions. Being responsible is just cleaning up the battlefield, and they don't have their share in real swords and guns.

The depression can be imagined.

Zhang Ji also shook his head helplessly and smiled.

There is nothing to be done.

For example, in this pottery city, there are thousands of fierce beasts entrenched. If you attack this city with infantry as the frontrunner, you don't know how many casualties you will have to take it.

Although it seems to be soy sauce now, there will be no casualties after all.

The lesser of the two phases is weighed, and the soldiers' feelings can only be pressed temporarily.

Moreover, the infantry army is not useless.

After all, the Golden Warhorse is a minority, and it can only be used in places where large-scale battles are severe. In large-scale and small-scale wars, it is still necessary to move the army to sweep away the fierce beasts.

The army entered the city, and the streets were lined with the corpses of fierce beasts with strange deaths. Under the command of middle and low-ranking officers, the infantry army began to collect the corpses of fierce beasts and clean up the battlefield.

"These brutes!"

A group of soldiers ran out of a house with their noses covered, and then inhaled heavily: "It stinks!" ”

The beasts dwelt in the city, eating, drinking, and Lazar in it.

These animals are not very hygienic.

In many houses, there are many rotten flesh and fermented feces, and the smell can literally smoke people to death!

But cleaning is a must.

These cities have been recovered, and they will be populated in the future, so how can they be done without cleaning?

Zhang Ji instigated a war horse and arrived at the county guard in the city.

Before entering the gate of the mansion, through the high courtyard wall, you can see the body of the huge fierce beast in the mansion.

"It's an evolutionary beast again!"

Zhang Ji turned over and got off the war horse, handed over the reins to the guards on the side, and walked into the mansion with his sword.

When I looked up, I saw that the dragon beast that looked like a mountain of meat was still twitching and trembling slightly. This dragon-like beast has dense huge wounds on its body. On the ground, it was wet and bloody, like a sea of blood.

These are the damage inflicted on it by the war cavalry with battle energy.

An ordinary soldier stepped forward and poked it with a shot, but it seemed to have hit the defeated revolution, and it was soft and weak, and it didn't even leave a single white mark.

Only the battle qi can inflict real damage on this terrifying evolutionary beast with terrifying defense.

"General Zhang!"

Seeing Zhang Ji step forward, the commander of the Marine Cavalry Corps clasped his fists and saluted.

"This beast isn't dead?" Zhang Ji raised his foot and poked the Roshan and asked.

"Not dead!"

The commander replied in a deep voice: "This fierce beast has super strong defense and physique, and it has been attacked by three waves of sound waves from the Golden War Horse, but it is only seriously injured. I waited for the follow-up to ride here, besieged it for a long time, and bleed this beast a lot, before it stopped. ”

It did bleed a lot.

In the entire palace, it can be said that there is a river of blood. This fierce beast is too huge, twenty or thirty zhang long, more than one zhang thick, and it is normal for so much blood to flow out.

"A living beast is more useful than a dead beast." The commander of the war cavalry said, "The lord needs these fierce beasts, so the last general and the others did not kill them!" ”

Zhang Ji bowed slightly, and said: "Then the general will summon the logistics troops and transport this fierce beast back to Lingzhou, but with the physique of this evolved fierce beast, I am afraid that it will be able to recover soon, and we have to be careful and careful." ”

"It doesn't matter." The commander said: "Now that the road is open, it will only take five or six days at most to transport it back to Lingzhou." For five or six days, the beast could not recover. ”

Zhang Ji nodded

Lingzhou, Shenzhou grassland.

Now in this grassland, it can be said that giant beasts are rampant!

Since the second-order warhorse joined the war, it has captured some evolutionary beasts one after another. Among them, the large ones are like small mountains, and the small ones also have their own peculiarities.

For example, the fierce beast next to Li Zheng, which looks like a wolf and is larger than an elephant, has the ability to become invisible.

This fierce beast was named Shadow Wolf by Li Zheng, and its fur can completely absorb light, prevent it from reflecting or refracting, so that it cannot be seen by the naked eye, so as to achieve the purpose of stealth.

These fierce beasts have a super strong physique due to their super-advanced transformation, so when they were devastated by the infrasound of the golden war horse, they did not die, but were mostly seriously injured and unconscious, tied up by thick iron chains, and transported to the pasture by giant beasts. It is then put into the animal training field, and with the help of the system's capabilities, it is domesticated.

So don't look at these fierce beasts, but in the grassland, in front of Li Zheng, they are as harmless as a little white rabbit.

Li Zheng collected these evolved beasts in order to synthesize a third-order battle horse!

The synthesis requirements of the third-order warhorse are a notch higher than that of the second-order warhorse. The comprehensive element of the raw material must reach the level of a second-order warhorse before it can be used to synthesize a third-order warhorse.

And these evolutionary beasts, in terms of overall primacy, are definitely not inferior to second-order war horses. Quite a few species, their primitives, far surpass the second-order war horses.

It's just that because the ability of the Golden War Horse is too strong, specifically targeting the weaknesses of the flesh and blood, these powerful beasts can be captured alive. Otherwise, it will be difficult to change to other arms.

Xun You stood beside Li Zheng with an indifferent expression.

Li Zheng couldn't help but smile when he looked at the fierce beast that had just been transported back from Jizhou, which was like a dragon, and was sent to the beast training ground.

"Gongda, you said that with this fierce beast as the mother, can you form a dragon?" Li Zheng said with a smile.

"Well, I don't know about this minister." Xun You said: "But Your Majesty, the dragon can fly to the sky, and this fierce beast may not." ”

Li Zheng bowed slightly: "How about adding a pair of wings to it?" ”

"It should work." Xun You smiled and said: "That's the flying dragon, it should be your majesty's car." ”

Li Zheng laughed and said, "Even if it is synthesized, it is only a third-order." Now Li Zheng's heart is getting bigger and bigger.

The system is of the third order, and there must be a fourth and fifth order in the future.

At that time, how powerful should the synthetic war horse be?

This one is worth looking forward to.

"By the way, what's the big deal with you coming to see me today?" Li Zheng suddenly asked.

Although Li Zheng was the emperor, he spent most of his time in the pasture. Some small things, Xun You and others can handle them perfectly, and Li Zheng doesn't need to worry about it at all.

Only when something big happens, Xun You will come to see Li Zheng.

Of course, if Li Zheng is willing, no matter how big or small, he can know before Xun You and the others. After all, Chubby Chick is in the pasture.

But it's not necessary.

If you have everything in your hands, you will be tired and die of exhaustion, why bother?

"陛xià,"

Xun You's face turned straight and said, "Xianbei people, please surrender!" ”

"Oh?"

When Li Zheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Haven't Xianbei people always been tough?" Why did you please surrender? ”

Although the Northern Army has always maintained its combat superiority over the Xianbei people, and has been encroaching on the grasslands of the Xianbei people year by year, the Xianbei people have never stopped resisting.

Now that he suddenly heard the Xianbei people asking to surrender, Li Zheng was quite surprised.

Xun You smiled and said: "Your Majesty is leisurely and careless, I am afraid I don't know that the Xianbei people are also deeply poisoned by fierce beasts." ”

"The Imperial defense line blocked the fierce beast to the death, and the fierce beast could not enter an inch, so it gradually spread in other directions. From the north of Jizhou and the direction of Youzhou, there are a large number of fierce beasts that have entered the prairie to the north. In addition, from the direction of the Western Regions, a large number of fierce beasts also entered the Mobei region. From the east and west, the living space of Xianbei people is compressed, which has caused huge pressure on Xianbei people! ”

Li Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "From this point of view, I am afraid that the western territory of my origin empire will be uneasy!" ”

Xun Yu frowned: "The minister came today, mainly for this matter." The countries of the Western Regions have almost collapsed, and now the Xianbei people can't bear the pressure, and soon the western territory of the empire will be threatened by fierce beasts. ”

"Well, in this case, it will be a little troublesome" Li Zheng frowned: "The northern and western territories are vast, and the battle front is too long. Now it is difficult to draw more forces to defend this line. Gongda, your government affairs council, now start to move the people of the northwest territory out, Jizhou and Youzhou have a large area of land that has been recovered, and they will be placed in these two areas. After you go down, let Zhicai come to me. ”

"In addition, the matter of the Xianbei people's request to surrender, your government affairs will do it in accordance with the rules, take your own attention, and after drawing conclusions, just let me take a look."

"Obey the order of the Son of Heaven!"

An hour later, Xi Zhicai and Fa Zheng came together.

Li Zheng invited the two into the palace study, let the two sit down, and then said: "The fierce beasts of the Western Regions and the north are coming. The battle lines in these two directions are too long to defend, so you can sum them up and come up with a charter. ”

Xi Zhicai and Fa Zheng also knew about this situation, and they already had a case in their hearts.

Xi Zhicai said: "Your Majesty, now that the battle is in full swing on the remaining four fronts, it is difficult to draw more strength to defend the northwest for the time being. Therefore, what I mean with Xiaozhi and the army divisions of the General Staff Department is to shrink the northwest defense line. ”

Li Zheng bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and raised his head to project the system map.

Xi Zhicai got up, bowed slightly, stepped forward and pointed to the map, and said: "The eastern part of the Western Regions controlled by the empire, as well as the northwest corner of Liangzhou, can be completely abandoned. Starting from Yumen Pass and Yangguan, abandon the two counties of Juyan and Xiye, go straight to the east, connect Shuofang County and Zhouzhou, and include Tianhe County and Baishui County. Lord, please see, there are just a few fortified cities on this line, and use them as the center of gravity to form a defensive line. In this way, not only can the defense line be shortened several times, but it will not have much impact on Liangzhou. ”

"For the time being, the Northwest Front must shrink its defenses. Once the eastern front is over, troops can be drawn up and counterattacked to the northwest. ”

While listening, Li Zheng carefully looked at the battle line drawn by Xi Zhicai on the map, and couldn't help nodding slightly: "It's reasonable, just do it!" ”

After speaking, Li Zheng's voice changed and said, "Do you think it is possible to speed up the offensive pace of the remaining four fronts?" Now that there are second-order cavalry in the battle, and the fronts are firmly in the upper hand, I think that it is possible to speed up this and regain the territory as much as possible. In this way, it is better to draw troops as soon as possible and counterattack the northwest. (To be continued.) )
