Chapter 412: The Mission: The Burial Ground (4)
As soon as the words "City of Burial Ground" came out, Ling Yi knew that Wei Zhi had made up his mind this time to attack the Northern Wilderness with the whole army, otherwise it would be impossible for the Northern Wilderness to relax in the City of Burial Ground.
This is the fetters of Wei Zhi's life, or the wish of every soldier in Dongsheng, every soldier is eager to one day capture the city of burial, and then welcome back those warriors who died in the enemy country, but after so many years, no army has successfully attacked the city of burial, and no loyal bone has been welcomed back.
Ling Yi silently said to his grandfather in his heart: "Grandpa, Xiao Ling can finally fulfill your wishes!"
Wei Zhi then said to Ling Yi: "I'm ready to welcome back the loyal bones, but everything is on you. β
"Iβcan I do anything?" Ling Yi asked suspiciously.
Wei Zhi got up and walked to the sand table, and while observing the sand table, he said: "This time, Yongzhou uses troops, and we are the main force to contain the Northern Wilderness, as long as I move, the Northern Wilderness will definitely focus on my body!"
Ling Yi stood next to the sand table, and from the distribution of the Northern Wilderness army on the sand table, Ling Yi could see that in the direction of Bingzhou, no less than 400,000 soldiers in the Northern Wilderness were eyeing each other.
Wei Zhi pointed to the city of the burial ground and said, "According to the report of the spies, there are a total of six martial saint powerhouses in the city of the burial ground, just to monitor me!"
"Six Martial Saints?" Ling Yi asked in surprise, who would have thought that in order to resist Wei Zhi, the Northern Wilderness would actually send so many Martial Saints to prepare for the war, you know, this is just a preparation for war, if it really starts, I don't know how many Martial Saints will come.
"Don't worry, we also have a lot of royal guest elders in Bingzhou, as long as the battle is together, we will guard against the attack of the enemy's high-end martial artists. What's more, unless it is absolutely necessary, the Martial Saint will not make a move easily!" Wei Zhi explained to Ling Yi.
"Oh!" Ling Yi hadn't fought with the Martial Saint before, and he didn't know how strong they were, but now after a few collisions, Ling Yi became more and more eager for the growth of his strength, and he used to think that he would be able to face some people or things when he became a great martial artist, but now it seems that even if it is a Martial Saint, it is not enough to see.
"Uncle, are you going to forcibly attack the city of the burial ground?"
"No, I won't go, and I can't go!" Wei Zhi replied with his head shaken.
"Why?"
"All the eyes of the Northern Wilderness are on me, as long as I make a move, the Northern Wilderness will deal with it, which is not conducive to me going to the city of the burial ground at all. Wei Zhi analyzed and said: "Even if I have the ability to attack the city of the burial ground, do you think that the Northern Wilderness will give me the opportunity to completely welcome the loyal bones of my ancestors back to Dongsheng?"
"Then you're ready ......"
"I'm going to let you go!"
"Me?" Ling Yi asked in surprise, "What can I do?"
"You have to fulfill my wish, and you must bring back all the loyal bones completely!"
"I, I, I ......" Although Ling Yi longed to do this, he knew that he was not capable of doing this!
"Don't you want to?" Wei Zhi asked.
"No, I'm willing, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it myself, and I will fail my uncle and my ancestors!" Ling Yi replied.
"You don't have to worry, although I won't go, I will create the best conditions for you, all you have to do is to find an opportunity to capture the city of the burial ground, and then welcome back the loyal bones!"
"Is Uncle going to all-out war?"
"There is no way, now that the emperor's edict has arrived in the annexed state, if I don't raise troops, then someone else will come to replace me, so that the annexation will be really critical. I can only take the will, at least there is hope for this state. β
"Uncle, can't you fight this battle?" Although Ling Yi was eager to welcome back his loyal bones and fulfill his grandfather's last wish, he also knew that now was not the time to send troops to Bingzhou, or that Dongsheng was not the time for a national war.
Anyone can see that although Dongsheng is strong now, after all, the founding time is short, and the background is always inferior to the Northern Wilderness and Rakshasa.
Wei Zhi also nodded in agreement with Ling Yi's opinion, and said: "It is true that the empire is not the time to use troops, but the Hongwu Dazhi that I have obstructed Your Majesty many times has angered Long Yan, this time, Your Majesty is determined to send troops to the two empires, and I have no choice!"
"Uncle, if a war really breaks out, this Wanqing Grassland will be the main battlefield between Bingzhou and the Northern Wilderness, do we have a chance to approach the City of the Burial Ground?" Ling Yi asked.
"Don't worry, I will pull the battlefield to the grassland of the Dangyu tribe outside Gupan Mountain, so that all the eyes of the Northern Wilderness will be focused on the Dangyu tribe, and as soon as I move, the main force of the burial city will also turn to the Dangyu tribe. This side will leave you a gap, all you have to do is take the opportunity to take the city of the burial ground!"
Wei Zhi then added: "This is an opportunity, but it is also an extremely risky opportunity, as long as it is discovered by the enemy, it is impossible for us to achieve victory, and as long as we fail, the enemy will definitely be on guard, and it will be more difficult to welcome back the loyal bones in the future, besides, I am afraid that they will not give us another chance!"
"Uncle means that if we fail, then the Northern Wilderness will deal with the bones of the ancestors in those two giant pits?"
"That's right, in this way, they will not only successfully defend against your sneak attack, but also suppress our morale by destroying the bones of those Dongsheng ancestors, and we will be in a dangerous situation!"
After Wei Zhiyi said, Ling Yi knew that his task was very important, and it was exciting news for the whole country to succeed, but once he failed, he would become a sinner for the ages!
Ling Yi now finally knows how heavy the burden is on his shoulders!
Wei Zhi also saw Ling Yi's anxiety, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You don't have to rush to answer, think about it first!"
Ling Yi raised his head and asked Wei Zhi, "Uncle, why did you choose me?"
"Pick you?" Wei Zhi smiled slightly and replied, "First, the force value of you and a few brothers is enough to deal with a strong enemy of the Martial Saint, even if it is a Martial Saint, don't you have a way to deal with it?"
"Well, I also have limitations on those methods, and they may not work!" Ling Yi only has the last thunderbolt true qi now, which is used to save his life.
"Second, I know your troops, they are highly mobile, and their strength is only stronger than my hoplites, I can't think of any other unit that can complete this mission!"
In this way, Ling Yi also knows that only he can complete the task!
Wei Zhi continued: "Of course, in addition to me pinning down the enemy for you, the Xizhou direction will also act at the same time to contain the enemy in the west and create the best conditions for you!"
Ling Yi was still struggling in his heart, it wasn't that he didn't have the courage to participate in this mission, he was just afraid that the mission would fail, and let the Northern Wilderness Empire do anything to the bones of his ancestors or destroy them, that was not what Ling Yi expected.
Wei Zhi naturally knew Ling Yi's concerns, and continued: "This is at least the best opportunity in five years, this time to start a war with the strength of the whole country, whether it fails or succeeds, the empire will enter a long period of recovery, until the next opportunity, I don't know if there is such a good opportunity!"
Just as Wei Zhi said, once Dongsheng is defeated, the chance of recovering the bones of his ancestors will become smaller and smaller, and he has a certain belief in his heart, Ling Yi stood up straight and said with assurance: "Prince Long rest assured, Wu Lingyi will live up to his trust and guarantee to complete the task!"
"Okay, very good!" Wei Zhi patted Ling Yi on the shoulder and said, "At that time, Wen Tao's more than 1,000 cavalry will also be under your command, and more than 2,500 cavalry, although it is a little less, it is not easy to be detected by the enemy." β
"Uncle, don't worry!" Ling Yi had already made up his mind, and his gaze became more determined.
At this time, outside the camp tent, Wu Liang's voice sounded: "Tell the prince, Wu Liang led the ruffian Qu Zhang Cheng and others and the heavy cavalry Wei Wentao to come!"
Wei Zhi returned to his previous serious expression, returned to his seat, and said, "Come in!"
Wu Liang led eleven teenagers into the tent, and when they saw Ling Yi inside, they were all excited, but no one dared to make a mistake in front of Wei Zhi, they just looked at Ling Yi excitedly.
"See Prince Long!" everyone saluted.
Wei Zhi nodded slightly: "Well, no need to be polite, a few of you have been studying with Wu Liang for a while, just now I sent a mission to Ling Yi, and in the future, you will follow Ling Yi and give him advice, you know?"
"Yes, follow the Prince's orders!" replied excitedly to the ten people who had originally belonged to the riffraff, the purpose of their study was to give Ling Yi better advice!
"Okay, Wei Wentao stepped forward!"
"The last general!"
"Now for you a mission!"
"The last general will obey the order!"
"In the future, you will merge Wu Lingyi's troops, as his adjutant, and assist Lingyi well, do you know?"
"Huh?" Wei Wentao was a little puzzled, he also heard that there was going to be a big battle soon, but now that he was assigned to Ling Yi's command, he was a little overwhelmed, but he was a little happy in his heart!
"Didn't you hear me?"
"Oh, I heard it clearly, I heard it clearly! The last general commanded!" Wei Wentao said excitedly.
"In the future, you will follow Ling Yi well, listen to him more, remember, his words are my words, if you let me know that you don't obey Ling Yi's command, you just wait!" Wei Zhi said warningly.
"Well, I'll listen to Ling Yi in the future!" Wei Wentao was still excited just now, and when he heard Wei Zhi's warning, he realized that this was still in his father's tent!
"Okay, Wen Tao, you go down, tidy up the team, and go to Gupan Mountain, and I will pass on the task to Ling Yi in the future!"
"Yes, the last general will retire!" Ling Yi and Wei Wentao and others pushed out Wei Zhi's tent in turn.
A few people chatted while walking, and after a while, they arrived at the assembly place of Wei Wentao's troops, cleaned up for a while, and after lunch, everyone set off in the direction of Lao Guipo!
Along the way, Wei Wentao always felt that he couldn't get up and down, although he was very happy to follow Ling Yi and a few people, but his father's words were more like "Tuogu", and he always felt that it was not very good. Especially when he was out of the camp, his father looked at him from a distance, which made him a little sad.
Now that the big war is about to start, he prefers to be by his father's side and kill the enemy bravely, but the military order cannot be violated, and his father has his own reason for transferring himself to Lingyi's command.
Looking back a few times, my father had been looking at him outside the camp, and his heart was firm: "Father, don't worry, my son will not let you down!"
