On September 16th of the first year of the Beacon Continent Era, the weather was cool on this day, the moon was dark and the wind was high, so it was advisable to kill people and avoid marrying a daughter-in-law. The Beichen Army united with 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Licheng forces, a total of 460,000 horses, gathered outside Donglin City and swore to go on the expedition!

Xiao Chen pulled the old wolf to burn incense and worship heaven and earth, and in the end, the imposing oath document was indispensable. Because Beichen Kingdom was promoted to the county country, it was more troublesome in various etiquette. Just like now, it's just a pledge meeting, and it's all over with two words in the past. But now it can't be done, the country is strong, and the people live in peace, all of which are blessed by God. Therefore, Xiao Chen had no choice but to pull the old wolf to worship the heavens and the earth together, the old wolf is also a monarch, so naturally he can't run.

At the same time, from this aspect, Xiao Chen finally understood why ancient China survived among the four ancient kingdoms. With God's blessing, otherwise, whenever the Han people are in danger, there will always be heroes who come out to save the whole world, which is really a good luck.

The solemn and solemn swearing-in ceremony was soon over, and then there was the shocking scene of 460,000 troops moving in unison. In order to avoid any accidents between the two armies because of the different military uniforms, the 100,000 troops under the old wolf are also dressed in red leather armor, which makes the two armies look more harmonious.

It's just that the old wolf still scolded Zhaochen a few words in his heart, Nima, there are more than 400,000 sets of iron armor, and you still don't let people live. Now who doesn't know that the troops of your Beichen Kingdom have all been upgraded to ironclad troops, as for showing them all off!

Among the 400,000 people, there are countless soldiers with swords and shields, and the battle flag covers the sky and the sun. The red armor was layered together, forming a sea of blood. There are tens of thousands of people, all over the mountains. This sentence is also correct, but it refers to the state of soldiers and stragglers, otherwise it would not be possible to spread the mountains and fields with 10,000 people, at least more than 100,000 people.

However, when 10,000 people formed a military formation, the area was not very large. Although it is not as turbulent as the stragglers, the strict formation and the defensive line composed of ironclad soldiers and infantry will make anyone stop unconsciously. That kind of shock is not something that a whole bunch of stragglers can emanate, they need hard training, and they need to be terrible to live and die.

The army marched in a square of 10,000 people from left to right, heading west. Little by little, the army formation became smaller and thinner, until it all disappeared into the distance. Behind him, he wore a robe of the same armor, and walked step by step on the path that his brother had walked in front of him.

The yellow dust is rolling, the flag covers the sun, the golden helmet and silver armor, and the yellow dragon flag moves. A long journey, blood spilled thousands of miles!

The army of 400,000 arrived in Julin County four days after the rapid military service, which is much faster than before! The main reason for this was the expansion of road repairs and the early transportation of grain and grass to the front. In addition, this time Xiao Chen didn't rest much on the march, so the marching speed of the army finally brought out the strength of the elite troops.

After arriving at Julin City, the 460,000 army was about to be divided. Luo Cheng led 50,000 elite cavalry and took the lead in pulling his horse away. Behind him was Yun Qi led a 100,000 servant army and 60,000 regular troops of the Beichen Army, they had no horses, so they had to escort the grain and grass slowly.

The remaining 250,000 troops, although their numbers were reduced by half, did not lose the high fighting spirit they had when they set out on the previous expedition. After the more than 200,000 troops left Yunqi all the way, they also began to leave Julin County and headed towards Fanda County and Anping County in front, which took several days of marching time.

Although the five-day march was not long, Xiao Chen stayed in the frame, and he was still bored to death. Now, the official hottest month, as long as you stay up until October, the weather should be cooler. But now, the sun is shining overhead, and the coolness of October is only in the future.

and the old wolf are fighting bowls and bowls of cold mung bean soup, but the heat is still bursting into my heart! This big summer is not as good as winter, thinking that when the army went out last winter, when they came across a good place, they hunted collectively. While eating the fragrant prey and drinking the wine, the soldiers were in an abnormal spirit at that time, and their morale was extremely high. Looking at the present, although the soldiers are still moving forward with their heads held high. But the tiredness on their faces shows that they are very uncomfortable, and they will rebel if they don't rest.

So, Xiao Chen ordered to camp on the spot and wait until the night was cool before marching. The empathy of his own boss made a group of big-headed soldiers cheer one by one.

In this way, the journey that originally took only four days was stunned by Xiao Chen to take five days to reach Anping County. However, this is much stronger than the previous delay of more than ten days.

When the army arrived at Anping City, all the 150,000 garrisons in Anping County had been assembled in the camp outside the city. Chen Zhi, the general stationed there, also came to the gate of the camp early, waiting for the arrival of his own king.

The 250,000-strong army soon arrived at the camp outside the city, and then the army entered the camp, and the 400,000 sergeants were cheered. Xiao Chen also led more than a dozen generals under him to get into the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp, what can so many bigwigs do when they go in!

It's impossible to get a base, even if they want to, Xiao Chen's side is not happy. Then I had to fight for wine, and dozens of jars of wine were brought in by the soldiers, and by the way, a lot of meat and vegetables were brought in. Wine is naturally not good wine, and Xiao Chen's self-brewed spirits have now all been sealed.

In this kind of meeting place, it is a pure waste to take such good wine and let these bastards drink it. None of these bastards drink like drinking water, and good wine is just better water for them. Besides, if you drink a few jars of liquor and accidentally poison these bastards, you'll laugh at yourself.

After some nonsense and drinking, the Chinese army's tent has become a mess. More than a dozen Beichen generals all fell to the ground casually, and only Xiao Chen was a little better. Lying on the dining table is much better than lying on the ground, and it also saves a little face for Beichen Kingdom.

At noon the next day, the dozen people woke up leisurely. After washing up in a daze, after lunch, we began to gather the army and prepare to set off.

The army of 400,000 was led by Ma Chao with 50,000 cavalry as the vanguard, taking the lead in the army. This was followed by Xiao Chen's large army of the Chinese army, and the 300,000 infantry troops were all listed in the Chinese army. The rear army is the 200,000 people who follow the army to transport grain and grass, and the remaining 50,000 elite troops are all left behind in Anping City to protect the army's grain and grass.

This time, the queue of the army was much longer than before. The length of the queue of the 200,000 transport brigade alone exceeded the 300,000 regular troops in front. 200,000 men pulled mules and horses, and carts were loaded with grain and grass.

However, all of them were unarmoured and unworthy of swords. It's not that Beichen Kingdom can't afford to arm these people, but Xiao Chen's security considerations in power. If there is an enemy who intercepts the grain road, then as long as these people throw away the grain and grass and run away, the enemy will definitely not be idle and kill them.

Similarly, as long as there are 200,000 horses in the transportation brigade, Xiao Chen's army will not worry about the problem of grain and grass. How many grain and grass materials can be transported by 200,000 people and horses at one time is simply a small amount for the 80 million grain and grass hoarded in Anping City. Don't say cut it once, you just cut it three or four times, and Xiao Chen doesn't mind. No way, being rich is capricious!

The 50,000 cavalry had already run away when the army set off. The terrain here is all about the vast plains, which is a paradise for cavalry. Here, who dares to pull a large army against 50,000 cavalry!

The 300,000 horses in the Chinese army had just walked out for half a day, and there was no news of more than 50,000 horses. It's okay if this horse is running happily, you can also report a message and let the big guy know where you are! As a result, it's good now, not even a single person has reported the news.

Xiao Chen, who was tidy, thought that this Ma Chao was pulling his 50,000 elite iron horsemen and running on his own to set up a mountain!

On the morning of the third day, Xiao Chen had just left Anping County with 300,000 regular soldiers of the Beichen Army and 200,000 people, and came to an unknown city. This is just a small city, and the 300,000 elites are planning to attack the city and plunder the land. Who knows, as soon as the soldiers and horses were deployed, the gates of this small city were opened. Dozens of knights in red fish scale armor ran out of the smoke, which was the cavalry team of Beichen Kingdom.

What's going on?

Under the complaint of the cavalry captain, Xiao Chen finally understood Ma Chao's movements. It turned out that when the army had just set off the day before yesterday, Ma Chao came to this small city after running for three hours. Subsequently, when the enemy defending the city did not care, the fast horse rushed directly to the city. Then, the defenders who accidentally put 50,000 cavalry into the city were out of luck.

A full 50,000 elite cavalry surged into the city, and the defenders, who numbered only 10,000, could not resist it at all. By lunchtime, the entire town had been slaughtered. Tens of thousands of people in the city managed to escape a robbery, but they lost all their belongings, which made people feel a little distressed.

After Ma Chao occupied the city, he left only a hundred cavalry to guard the city, and then led the army to continue westward. And there are only 100 people left behind to guard the city, and the tens of thousands of European civilians guarding the city are still understaffed. Therefore, it is also impossible to send people to the large army behind in a row.

Xiao Chen criticized Ma Chao fiercely, you broke people's cities and robbed other people's money. But you still dare to stay behind to guard the city, do you think that our Beichen Army all believe in the White Lotus Sect!

Fortunately, the army has been marching rapidly for the past two days, otherwise it would have been a failure. After the people of the small city saw the army entering the city, they were so frightened that they closed their doors and windows! Hmph~ Do you think you can avoid it in this way? Ma Chao didn't have the heart to kill you because he was in a hurry, but the master had time to play with you.

The 300,000 wolf-like Beichen army entered the city and immediately began to separate the crowd in the city. The young and middle-aged people were all pulled aside and stayed, and the old and weak women and children were all pulled out of the city and chopped and fed to the wolves. Qingzhuang is still the same as before, pulled back to be a slave!

The army stayed in the town for a day, and then set out again at night to continue westward. In this small city, only 5,000 people were left to garrison!

When the army came to the next city again, the red and golden dragon flag of the Beichen Kingdom was still hanging on the city. Well, Xiao Chen understood when he saw the flag at first glance that he was here to travel, or to travel with an army of hundreds of thousands.

The next few cities were all hanging, and when Xiao Chen came with the army, Ma Chao had already occupied it. But after receiving several cities in a row, Ma Chao and his army still did not see the figure. All the cities, large and small, were defended by only a hundred cavalry. For this point, Xiao Chen finally understood, this Ma Chao was very powerful in fighting, but this fight completely ignored other things.

Why do you say that you have a cavalry of 50,000 men charging so fiercely, and only a hundred people are left to defend the cities behind you. Aren't you afraid that the army of labor and management won't be able to keep up, if you really don't keep up, what will you do bastard!

It's not just Xiao Chen who has an opinion about Ma Chao, but even the 300,000 infantry troops around him are cursing Ma Chao and his knights one by one. The group of cavalry was too stumbling and not kind at all. You have conquered the city and made great achievements, but you have left us poor people with soup to drink. The credit has been taken, and even the money from the people has been taken, could it be that we, the 300,000 people, are here to eat ashes behind you?

This was originally what the second-line garrison should do, but now it's better that it's become ours. I've been busy for half a month, and I didn't take any credit, and I didn't even mix a copper plate. These cavalry are really unkind, alas~~ It's only strange that my parents gave birth to two fewer legs for themselves, and they can't outrun those beasts.

Just when Ma Chao of the Northern Route Army attacked the city and plundered the land one after another, showing his majesty, the rest of the two route armies were also fierce and couldn't stop at all.

Among the 200,000 troops led by Yun Qi in the Middle Route Army, there are also 50,000 elite iron cavalry of the Beichen Kingdom led by Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng's way of action was not much different from Ma Chao's, and there were rapid cavalry raids along the way. Fight all the way, either take advantage of the defenders' time to close the city gate and go straight in. Either they smashed through the gates directly, and then the cavalry charged in groups. Of course, every time Luo Cheng broke a city, he would leave more than a thousand cavalry to garrison the city, which was much stronger than Ma Chao. However, the city was still looted by Luo Cheng, the reason was to pay back his boss's money.

In general, the armies of the two routes in the north and the south are all overwhelmed because of the huge number of cavalry troops.

Li Zhaoliang of the Southern Route Army, although there were no cavalry troops. But he still has 20,000 sailors and hundreds of troop carriers under his command. So, Li Zhaoliang directly pulled his 50,000 slaughtering troops and tens of thousands of servant troops, took the ships of the naval division, and began the interspersed landing war.

Almost all of the southern coastal cities did not escape Li Zhaoliang's clutches, and for these enemies who suddenly appeared in front of them, the defending troops were in a hurry at all, and they were only killed into the city by the fierce ones. For the many cities a little north of the coastal city, Li Zhaoliang did not give up. Lin Hu led the remaining 100,000 troops of the Southern Route Army and pushed directly towards the west.

Although Lin Hu's force is not very good, his head is also very good. Coupled with the powerful regular army of the Beichen Army, the weakest enemy in the three roads could not stop the red tide at all. Having said that up to now, the Beichen Army has not played any conspiracy at all, and all of them rely on their own strong strength to directly crush the enemy.

In general, on the third expedition to the west, the three armies were all attacking cities and plundering land, and it was easy to break through!
