Text: The Great Power Battle_Chapter 258 Picking up money

Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, the Beichen Army had already completed all the preparations for the expedition. Countless soldiers lined up in the west of the majestic camp, and the hundreds of phalanxes were intimidating. There are countless swords, swords and guns, and there are countless elite warriors. The flag is like a mountain and a sea, endless.

Behind the four million soldiers of the Beichen Army is the large camp that was built with earth, stone and concrete structures. It is nearly 100 miles long and six or seven miles wide, and can accommodate millions of soldiers to camp. In addition, it also includes the grain and grass baggage of millions of troops, all of which can be put down. Such a large camp built of iron and steel is also the only one on the current Beacon Fire Continent. With such a good camp, Xiao Chen was naturally reluctant to dismantle it. Not to mention how much material and manpower was spent before, it can't be demolished with such a large area.

The large battalion that can accommodate millions of troops will definitely become an important garrison location for the Beichen Army in the future. First, it can guard the place and give the people a sense of security. This large camp is located in the north of Beichen Kingdom, as long as the defense settings are changed slightly, it can completely unite more than 20 cities in the north to form a new defense line. In this way, the threat of the neighboring countries in the northern territory of the Beichen Kingdom will be eliminated by more than half.

The army on this expedition was only 4 million men, and the remaining nearly 1 million troops were stationed in Sanguan County, Buni County, Linhai County and Linhai Daying. Among them, 100,000 troops were stationed in each of the three counties, and 100,000 troops were stationed in important cities. The remaining 800,000 troops were all stationed in the Linhai camp to achieve the purpose of deterring the localities and providing support to them at any time.

The army of four million marched westward, which is not a very big pressure for the country on which the sun never sets. You must know that a big flood ate 600,000 of the elite troops of the Beichen Army in one go. Even after the rescue of many brothers who were killed by the sailors, the soldiers of the royal army were still scarce and died, less than 50,000 people. This is a disaster for the Beichen Army, but it is undoubtedly the best news for the country on which the sun never sets.

The strength of a country's army is completely supported by veterans. Even with a powerful weapon, there is no substitute for the role of a veteran. Recruits lack combat experience and can only rely on a lot of courage on the battlefield, and in the case of continuous combat, they will quickly run out of physical strength. In contrast, veterans are not only brave in battle, but also veterans can better exert their strength and save physical strength by using the experience they have gained in exchange for their lives. A comparison, the gap between recruits and veterans immediately came out.

And the Beichen Army now has an army of four million, but only 200,000 elite cavalry are the elite soldiers of the previous hundred battles. Most of the rest of the volunteer army units are new recruits, and some of them have never been on the battlefield. Although there is a lot of blood, seeing blood and killing people are two different things. Seeing blood, at most, let the recruits not be frightened by the sudden blood spurting out in battle. Killing is different, and the biggest difference is obviously murderous. Generally, people who have killed people will have a murderous aura on their bodies. This murderous aura may be violent and intimidating. Or it is that it is not dispersed, until the whole is immediately revealed when the person kills, and the nerves of the human brain are impacted.

In short, the most powerful of the Beichen Army now is the 200,000 cavalry troops and the 200,000 elite troops. The rest are just shrimps, and it is estimated that the 400,000 elite army can wipe out the remaining 3 million troops. In addition, the place where the Sun Never Sets Country and the current Beichen Kingdom meet, there are only the fortress of Lonago and the city of Wentil. These two places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, the fortress of Longnago is located between two mountains, and only needs hundreds of thousands of troops to garrison, even if the four million Beichen troops come, they can only look at the pass and sigh. And the city of Wentil is not weak at all, this city is the capital of a stronger county than himself that the original Xilong Kingdom collapsed. However, although this city is majestic, the capital of Xilong is stated, so this big city, which is even more majestic than the capital of Xilong country, has become the front line of confrontation with Beichen State.

In fact, there are still more than a dozen cities to the west of the city of Wentil, but all of them are located on the plain, and there is no twenty-meter-high wall of the city of Wentil. Therefore, when Weir and others arranged to resist the defense line of the Beichen army, they were directly abandoned. After all, losing a few cities isn't a big deal at all. If there is a battle with the Beichen Army because of those dozen or so small cities, it is estimated that Xiao Chen will be able to jump a few laps happily. Besides, Weir and the others are not so stupid, relying on those dozen or so small cities and Beichen National Consumption, they are completely meat delivered to people's mouths. The army of the country where the sun never sets can only gather a large army in the city of Wentil and hold the city, and I believe that the Beichen army will not be able to break through without half a year.

Coupled with the 500,000 troops arranged in the fortress of Longnago, relying on the dangerous pass, it is enough to resist the garbage troops of the Beichen Army. As for the elite troops of the Beichen Army, the Weir people don't care much about it now. No one of the 200,000 elite cavalry will be willing to let them attack Jiancheng, and the remaining 200,000 elite infantry troops are estimated to be reluctant in Beichen Kingdom. After all, if you train a hundred battles, you don't know how many recruits will die.

Elite soldiers in a hundred battles are not those troops who have fought a few battles and survived to become elite soldiers. Although I have to admit that I was able to survive several big battles, I was indeed elite. But the elite soldiers of a hundred battles can only be called the elite of hundreds of battles after at least dozens of battles. In every battle, the more troops that have fought will always fight the hardest battles, which is an eternal truth.

The combat effectiveness of the veterans is strong, everyone knows. Even though the generals don't want many veterans to die in battle, the first goal of the battle is to win. In order to win, the hardest battles can only be fought by veterans. Even if there are heavy casualties, then it will be fought, everything is just for victory. Therefore, the elite soldiers of a hundred battles are not so easy to train, and in every hard battle, even the elite have to suffer countless casualties. And those who survive are the elite soldiers of a hundred battles, the elite of the elite.

Therefore, when most of the one million elite army of Beichen Kingdom was lost, the four bosses of the country on which the sun never set no longer had to worry.

And Xiao Chen naturally understood this, and also knew that it would be impossible for the Beichen Army to achieve any great results in this battle. Therefore, from the very beginning, Xiao Chen came with the purpose of leading the army to the Duchy where the sun never sets to get a little cheap. Unless the two countries of Beichen and Xia are united, and Xia has achieved great results in the battle on the Western Front, Beichen may be able to eat a lot of meat.

There is no way, who let the Principality of the Sun Never Set and the Principality of Beichen meet each other to have a strong city. At the intersection with Rinhae-gun is the Lonnago Fortress, which is twenty-five meters high, and because it is surrounded by high mountains on both sides, it is impossible to fight. There are more than a dozen small cities in the place adjacent to Sanguan County, but after these dozen or so small cities, it is Wentiel City. The walls of this city are 20 meters high and cover a wide area. As long as there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed and sufficient food and grass, the Beichen army still has no way to fight. If it is attacked, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of people will not be able to take it at all. And to cross the city of Wentil and attack other places directly would be a taboo. It would be strange to expose the grain route to the eyes of the 500,000 enemy army holding the city, and nothing will happen.

But such a dangerous fortress that cannot be fought must be faced by the Beichen Army. If you don't face it, you will have low morale, and at worst you will be sorry for the millions of soldiers who died and flooded, which will make the soldiers of the army uncomfortable and may cause a mutiny!

The army soon set out, and some of them were led by Zhang Han, Xue Rengui, Luo Cheng, Hua Rong and other generals, and went south to the river, taking warships to attack the dozen or so small cities in the south of the Yangtze River and the city of Wentier. Among them, Zhang Han was the commander, Xue Rengui was the deputy marshal, Luo became the vanguard, and Hua Rong was the general of the rear army. There are 2 million soldiers and horses under his command, and more than 1,000 good generals.

The other way was led by Xiao Chen and Yue Fei personally, and the generals Ma Chao, Yue Yun, Zhang Xian and others were under their command. Among them, Xiao Chen is the commander of the army, Yue Fei is the deputy marshal, Ma Chao is the vanguard, and Yue Yun and Zhang Xian are the generals. There are 2 million subordinate soldiers and horses, and 1,000 good generals. This way, the Beichen army will go directly to the west, directly approaching the fortress of Lonago.

Three days after the army of Beichen Kingdom marched westward, Will, David, Gruss, and Helen, who were in the capital city of Sun, also got this news from their spies. For the westward advance of the Beichen Army, several people had already expected it, so when the news came, the four of them did not have too surprised expressions. However, in this heart, it is still a bit straight to the drum.

After all, it was Beichen Kingdom, not an unknown small country. In all countries in the world, there is only one understanding of Beichen Kingdom, and that is brutality. But as neighbors, several high-level officials of the country where the sun never sets, where do they not know some of the situation in Beichen country. In their estimation, Beichen Kingdom now has at least 60 million people, otherwise it would be impossible to pull out tens of millions of troops to go north. Moreover, the soldiers of Beichen Kingdom are all extremely brave and extremely powerful. Even if it's a recruit egg, it's stronger than the recruit egg in your own country.

Although it is said that Beichen likes to slaughter cities and slaughter countries, but others don't know what Chen Xiaotian thinks, will the four of them still not know? If you take a closer look at the battle of the Beichen Kingdom to slaughter the city, you will find that most of the troops who participated in the slaughter of the city every time were recruits from the Beichen Kingdom, or they were troops who had not been on the battlefield much. Especially the massacre of the city in the Uzi country, damn, the more than two million second-line troops of the Beichen country were stunned to become elite. Even if you lose a million people, you get one or two million elite troops, which is an absolute deal.

Of course, this kind of gameplay can not be played in the country where the sun never sets, it used to be, and it still is. Relying on the fact that there is enough population, Beichen Kingdom can expand the number of new soldiers to its heart's content, and then train elite troops. But the sun does not set on the country, the total population of the country is less than 40 million, even if you try your best to recruit soldiers, at most 10 million people will be recruited. In a war to destroy the country of Uzi, a million were lost. A battle of the Shalu Kingdom, with a loss of nearly three million, the Principality of the Sun Never Sets cannot afford to play at all.

Calculate that Beichen Kingdom has lost four million men and horses in the past six months, but they still have at least 12 million troops, how do you compare.

Therefore, the four of them are still a little uneasy in their hearts. Even though the country of the sun never sets is the first to become a principality, it is through the back door, and it cannot be compared with the Beichen country that is red. Since then, Beichen Kingdom is an old power in the Beacon Continent, and its strength cannot be overestimated.

After an afternoon of secret discussions, the four bigwigs of the Duchy of the Sun Never Sets figured out how to fight against the menacing Beichen Kingdom. Lancelot, one of the Knights of the Round Table, led by Lancelot, one of the Knights of the Round Table, led more than 500,000 troops to garrison the fortress of Lonnago to resist the two million Beichen troops killed from Jiangbei. On the other hand, Galahad, one of the Knights of the Round Table, led 500,000 horses to garrison the city of Wintier. The soldiers and horses needed by the two were drawn from the Gran Collar and the Xilong Collar respectively. In addition, David and Helen each led an army of 300,000 troops, ready to support the front at any time.

Most of the rest of the soldiers and horses were deployed on the battlefield on the Western Front, because it was very likely that the Xia Kingdom would invade the Duchy of Sunset from the Western Front. On the Western Front, only the East Timor fortress that can withstand the Xia Kingdom is the East Timor Fortress where the sun never sets, and the rest of the place is all plains, and there is no danger to defend at all. Therefore, a large number of troops must be deployed on the Western Front, and it is very likely that there will be a large battle with the Xia Kingdom. The battlefield on the Western Front was personally commanded by Will and Gruss, with several famous generals and more than 1,000 good generals.

After more than ten days after the Duchy of Immortality arranged the double-line defense, the army led by Xiao Chen finally came to the fortress of Longago. As for the Zhanghan Department on the southern front, it is estimated that it has already arrived in Wentier City. Therefore, the southern route went by boat, which was much faster than the army of the northern route on foot. Moreover, on the march route of the army on the northern front, there were not many wide roads at all, all of them were small roads. Along the way, Xiao Chen scolded the monarchs and officials of Shalu Country, and those bastards were really too lazy. Don't you even know how to widen the road, don't you know if you want to get rich and build the road first?

After coming to the front of the Longnago Fortress, the two million Beichen army was stationed on the spot, and Xiao Chen went to observe the enemy situation with Yue Fei and other generals.

The 20-meter-high city wall has two east and west roads, and only a few miles in the middle. The area is not very large, and I don't know how bad it is compared to the seaside camp. However, there are 500,000 troops stationed here, and there are sufficient food and grass preparations. The general of the guard is none other than the Principality of the Sun that never sets and won the famous general, and he is one of the Knights of the Round Table, Lancelot.

Xiao Chen didn't know much about Lancelot, he only knew that he was one of the Knights of the Round Table, and he was the most powerful. Not only its force value and strategy value, but also the ability of pickle girls, they are the most powerful among the Knights of the Round Table. gave his boss's horse, and ruined the boss's dynasty, and it is estimated that he is the most talented in the world.

The wall is dozens of meters high, located between two peaks that are thousands of meters high, and it is impossible to attack or detour from the mountain. Coupled with the wall, the road between the peaks is blocked, and if you want to get there, you can only storm it.

Xiao Chen has always been reluctant to attack the dangerous pass of the city, and the casualties are too great.

Therefore, then I had to let the army go to other places to convey it.....
