Chapter 50: The Battle of the Ganges
The royal city of Baiyun City, the palace of nourishing the heart.
The old emperor sat on the main seat, and the next one sat with the previously established wartime command headquarters - Zhang Shoufu, Xu Ge Lao, Qin Ge Lao, General Niu, and General Wu were all there. Except for General Niu and General Wu who were whispering, the rest of the people were sitting in a precarious position, as if they were seriously thinking about something.
The little princess Chu Tianling walked over from the apse in a flash.
"Heavenly Spirit?" The old emperor found out at a glance.
"The son of the emperor greets his father." The little princess gave a blessing.
"You didn't stay behind, why did you run to the Heart Cultivation Palace?" Although the old emperor is not as energetic as before, and he is no longer as diligent in handling court affairs as before, he is more fond of his only little daughter by his side.
"Father, my daughter misses the eldest brother and the second brother." Chu Tianling's words were sincere, which caused the old emperor to sigh almost inaudibly.
"I am also very worried about Tianying's safety, if I am ten years younger, I will definitely drive the army and find my son back." The old emperor looked at his "wartime headquarters", and there was a flash of disappointment in his eyes.
The little princess continued, "Second brother hasn't written to me for a long time, I don't know how Dongwanghai is?" β
"Looking east to the sea?" The old emperor didn't quite understand why the little princess suddenly cared about the second child who was not in love with her, "Dongwanghai is the financial powerhouse of the empire, and at this moment the barbarians are eyeing each other, we still have to rely on the 'money bag' of Dongwanghai to have the confidence to fight with the barbarians." However, it's not your turn to worry about these things. Your fourth sister sent someone to bring over a batch of baggage supplies yesterday, you can help me write a reply to your fourth sister. β
"Report, there are eight hundred miles to the east looking at the sea!!"
Chu Tianling hurriedly retired. It seems that the situation of looking east at the sea is not as simple as the second brother said.
βββββββββββThere are always people who fly against the windββββββββ
The Ganges Commander-in-Chief has been guarding the Ganges for more than ten years, and the "myth of not falling" in Shuofang City has also made the Ganges River never have a war in the past two hundred years. It's a pity that Lu Jie is very uninteresting, and the Ganges River chief soldier who has been in the Ganges for three years has been forced by him to serve four terms, offending countless bosses. Seeing that his career was about to be confessed here, the war broke out.
Needless to say, Lu Jie was skilled in the bow and horse of the year, and his subordinates also had a set of training, and he pulled his subordinates to chase down bandits and robbers across regions when there was no war on weekdays, and every time he crossed the border, he would attract the impeachment of local officials. The common people liked this general soldier very much, and specially carved a wooden plaque for him, with four big characters on it - the general soldier of the bandits.
After the fall of Shuofang City, Lu Jie had even more things to do, he often led his team across the river to act, while gathering the troops that were scattered or withdrawn from Shuofang City, and at the same time cleaning up the small barbarian sweeping detachments he encountered.
Because of the growing fame, many players even took refuge in the "Bandit Commander". As a result, Lu Jiajun's combat methods have become more treacherous and changeable.
After a period of recuperation, the main army of the barbarians finally set out again, and their goal was the fertile Heaven-Sent Plain. And the Ganges was an obstacle they had to overcome. The barbarian invasion army pressed like a black tide towards the defense zone of the "general army of bandits".
After the fall of Shuofang City, many players were displaced, and many players from the south spontaneously went north to defend against the barbarian invasion. After Bai Xiaosheng in the major towns spread the word that Lu Jie was preparing to intercept the barbarian army in the Ganges, tens of thousands of players began to move towards the Ganges, and they wanted to support Lu Jie's actions.
"Ding! The Spring and Autumn Alliance's Commander - All players under the Spring and Autumn Alliance who are above level 45 should report to Fenglingdu on the Ganges River within one day. The mountains and rivers are broken, which is the time when my generation is determined. β
"Ding! Bloodthirsty Alliance's Master Command - All players of the Bloodthirsty Alliance, who are above level 40, will assemble at Fenglingdu within one day. What is lost, we have to get it back with our own hands. β
"Ding! Order of the Watch Legion - All players above level 45 of the Watch Legion should rush to Fenglingdu as soon as possible. An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood. β
"Ding! The Master of the Famous Sect Allianceβ"
On the world announcement, each influential alliance is gathering its own members, although the player level is at a disadvantage, but the player who hung up when Shuofang City was lost can participate in the battle this time, which is the biggest advantage of the player.
"Xingshen, take your team and go to the defense of the Ganges River." Lin Yu and Xing Shen are in a restaurant at the moment.
"Well, let's go again if you are above level forty, the two apprentices still don't hear it, Luomu Xiao Xiao will go to play a copy to level up, I'm afraid they won't be able to please if their level is low." Xing Shen responded while pricking up his ears to listen to the gossip:
"Hey, have you heard, early this morning, there was an eight-hundred-mile overlooking sea rush into the imperial capital."
"When the wind and rain are shaking, isn't there our ally Shang Alliance on the other side of the East Wanghai, how can there be an eight-hundred-mile rush?"
"I don't know. A lot of news is not said to the outside world in the palace. Passerby A, as soon as he suddenly raised his head, a copper coin was thrown at Bai Xiaosheng in the middle of the stands.
"Is there any news over there?"
Bai Xiaosheng accepted the money, but shook his head slightly, "This news can't be sold, but I have news about Qiongzhou, do you want to hear it?" β
"Tell me about it."
"Because the Empire has recently drawn a lot of troops from the southern front, the fish-men who are dormant in the Death Swamp seem to be a little ready to move." Bai Xiaosheng threw out an explosive news.
When Xing Shen heard this, he changed his mind, "Forget it, let's go." The good Nebula Empire is embattled all of a sudden? β
Lin Yu smiled, "Life is impermanent, you see that I still had an alliance in the station a moment ago, and now I will send someone to the fence." Haha"
Xingshen was speechless, "The loss of Shuofang City is the expansion of the game, and players can't change the outcome." β
"Well, let's go back and gather our men."
The barbarian army did not have a water army, so they could have gone down the river at the moment they could only choose to attack by land, with the barrier of the Ganges, the defending side would have a huge advantage. Even so, the Ganges River still has to be crossed, and Fenglingdu is the largest crossing on the Ganges, and only here is it suitable for large-scale troops to cross the river.
So there will be fierce battles here, sooner or later.
When Mr. Hu saw the figure of the little princess, he turned around and wanted to bypass it.
"Master, the student has a question and wants to ask." The little princess, who has been cultivating both civil and military all year round, rushed over with a light leap.
Master Hu simply stood still, "I don't know what His Highness wants to ask?" β
"East-look-sea." Chu Tianling was stunned word by word.
The old master was very calm, "In contrast, I think His Highness should be more concerned about the safety of his relatives." β
βοΌοΌοΌβ Chu Tianling tilted his head, looking at the old master as if he was joking.
"Please sir teach me."
