Chapter Ninety-One: The Expedition Begins
In the blink of an eye, the time came to October.
The military restriction order implemented in Shili City went very smoothly, and the families in the city greatly reduced their troops, while on the other side, the city government army recruited soldiers on a large scale, and most of the soldiers who were laid off had nothing to do but choose to join the city government army.
However, even so, Wen Kaiyuan was still not as good as Lingtian in the south, and Lingtian had almost completely ruled the south by relying on the absolute power gap, and was still expanding outward.
At this time, almost everyone in Half Moon Divine Prefecture knew a Enlightenment Realm powerhouse named Lingtian.
It is rumored that Lingtian is cold-blooded and ruthless, and all the Half-Moon Clan who disobey him are killed by him, and Lingtian also released a bold statement that he will rule the Half-Moon Divine Prefecture and become the new king of the Half-Moon Clan.
Ling Tian's movements were also forcing Wen Kaiyuan, and he had to speed up the pace of growth, even if they had just finished the infighting.
On October 1, Wen Kaiyuan reorganized the city government army of Shili City under Ge Tiantian's proposal, and selected 2,000 soldiers from the 2,500 city government army to form a regular army, named the expeditionary force, the purpose of which was to conquer the world, expand its power, and accumulate capital for the future fight against Lingtian.
On October 5, Wen Kaiyuan led an army of 2,000 to start an expedition, and its first battle was the fall of Apu.
One kilometer outside the city, two thousand troops are eyeing this small city.
Wen Kaiyuan was the head of the expeditionary force, and he stood beside him for three days, Ge for three days, the Near East, Tiezi, and other expeditionary generals.
"Brother Three Days, how long do you think this Apu Fall City can resist my expeditionary force?" Wen Kaiyuan stood tall and talked and laughed.
Now Wen Kaiyuan's power is different from before, and the number of cultivators in the expeditionary force, including the Near East, has reached ten, most of them are free people, for example, the former free man cloth card and car ** saw the Near East showing their skills under Wen Kaiyuan, and they were envious, and they also found Wen Kaiyuan's recommendation and defected to his disciples. There are three cultivators who belong to the family, and for the purpose of currying favor with Wen Kaiyuan, they are sent to Wen Kaiyuan and sent at their disposal, such as a Qi-gathering level cultivator of the Ximen family, Ximen Hu.
Not only that, but there were three separate units in the expeditionary force. The first, a force of 500 cavalry led by Xiao Fei. The second, the artillery unit, was made into an artillery vehicle unit after repairing and modifying the artillery captured from the Oriental Family. The third unit, the Musket Force, is also a reconstructed unit composed of Muskets captured from the Oriental Family.
"Based on the size of the army in Apu Luo, I think three hours is enough." Ge replied for three days.
Ge Santian had passed through Apuluo City twice, and he had a deep memory of the An'an Hotel in Apuluocheng, and deep down, he didn't want the An'an Hotel to be destroyed by the war.
"Hahaha! Brother Three's words are still relatively conservative! In my opinion, an hour is enough. Wen Kaiyuan laughed.
"We still can't be careless about the enemy and minimize casualties." Ge Santian reminded.
"That's right, there's still a long way to go! It's not a good idea to have a city of Apuluo. Wen Kaiyuan nodded.
At this time, Near East put down the telescope and said to Wen Kaiyuan:
"My lord, the lord of the city of Apu has appeared on the city wall."
"Very good! Very good! Go and ask him if he surrenders, and if he refuses, take the city immediately. Wen Kaiyuan said to the Near East.
"Yes!" Near East commanded.
"General Jin, I'll go with you." Ge Tiantian suddenly made a strange request.
Wen Kaiyuan looked at Ge Tiantian suspiciously, as if asking why.
"I've met three acquaintances, maybe things will turn around." Ge Tiantian explained to Wen Kaiyuan.
"Okay! There you go! However, you must beware of a sneak attack by Apu Falling City. Wen Kaiyuan instructed.
Ge Santian is not like the Near East, where cultivators have the ability to protect themselves, and now that the Mountain King is not by Ge Sansan's side, it is risky for him to get close to the city lord of Apu Luo City.
"I know."
Ge Tiantian nodded, and then followed the Near East Celu to the gate of Apu Luo City.
After a while, Ge Tiantian and the Near East stopped outside the gate of Apuluo City, looking up at the Half-Moon Clan on the city wall.
"General Jin, let me communicate with them." Just as the Near East was about to speak, Ge Tiantian interrupted.
"Good!" Near East nodded in agreement.
After getting the consent of the Near East, Ge Tiantian took a few steps forward and smiled at the three acquaintances on the city wall.
"Master Wutang, President Tian, President Lie, don't come to harm!"
The acquaintances mentioned by Ge Tiantian are Wu Zheng, Tian Finance, and Lele.
"Little brother!"
"Ge Xiaoyou!"
The three of them looked at Ge Santian in surprise, and they didn't dare to confirm it before Ge Santian spoke, because at this time, Ge Santian had already changed into a set of general uniforms of the expeditionary force.
"I said, 'Are you not merchants?' How to get involved in the army of Apuluo. Ge Santian said with a smile.
"This ......," Lelegz was speechless.
"Ge Xiaoyou, is the army in front of you the army led by the Wen City Lord of Ten Mile City?" Wu Zheng asked.
"That's right!" Ge Santian nodded, and then said, "To tell you the truth, we are here to capture the city of Apuluo. ”
"What!"
Liele, Wu Zheng, and Tian Finance, as well as the other half-moon clans on the city wall, were all shocked.
"Little brother, Apu Luocheng has never had a grudge against Shili City, why do you want to capture this place." Lehler asked excitedly.
"Lie, I think you know the situation in the south best, if we have a conflict with the Lingtian in the south in the future, it will not be enough to rely on the strength of Ten Mile City alone, so ......," Ge Tiantian explained.
"How can this be ......" Lele was a little disillusioned.
"Of course, there is still a chance that things will turn around." Ge Santian saw that Lele's expression was too exaggerated and thought it was funny.
Ge Tian's words instantly rekindled Liele's life.
"Is there really a turnaround?"
Ge Santian smiled noncommittally.
"May I ask who is the lord of Apuluo City?" Ge Tiantian asked, scanning the Half-Moon Clan on the city wall.
"I am!"
A voice that made Ge Santian feel a little familiar came, and when Ge Santian looked over, he found that the person who spoke was not the owner of the Ann Hotel?
"The owner of the Ann Hotel? Are you the lord of Apuluo? Ge Tiantian was stunned for a moment.
"That's right, I'm the city lord of Apu Luo City, An Ran." The owner of the Ann Hotel repeated calmly.
"Rude! Faux pas! After meeting many times, I had no idea that you were the lord of Apuluo City. Ge Tiantian smiled bitterly.
Enron did not respond.
"Lord Ancheng, can I go into the city and sit down with you face-to-face? Of course, it's just me. Ge Tiantian said to An Ran.
An Ran's expression was surprised, and after thinking about it, it didn't matter if Ge Santian came in alone, and if the conversation failed, Ge Santian could be taken hostage, so he agreed.
"Yes!"
Seeing that An Ran agreed, Ge Santian walked back and whispered to the Near East.
"General Jin, when you go back and tell Ah Yuan, give me half an hour, if the city gate still doesn't open after half an hour, you will attack the city."
Although Jindong didn't know what medicine was buried in Ge Sansan's gourd, he understood that Wen Kaiyuan trusted Ge Santian very much, so he had to agree.
