Chapter 22 Three Ways Together

The 200,000 men of the Praetorian Guard did not stay outside the north gate, but entered Taniguchi Castle, let the queen go out through the south gate, passed through the valley, and camped five miles outside the valley.

After all the Praetorian Guards left the valley, the more than 400,000 troops of the Blue Dragon Legion also began to set up camp and mobilize to the other end of the valley through Gukou City.

After the Blue Dragon Legion left the valley, it was stationed five miles away near the side of the Luofu Mountains, and after the Blue Dragon Legion all entered Tanikou City, the soldiers of the Fengyun Division who remained outside the north gate of Gukou City and inside the city began to pack their bags.

When the army was moving in an orderly manner, the main generals of the three armies were discussing in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, although this army was composed of the Blue Dragon Legion, the Praetorian Guard Legion and the Fengyun Division, but Zhou Xiaojun was the supreme commander, which meant that Qin Qiong and Zhou Xiaofeng were subject to Zhou Xiaojun's control.

There are more than 420,000 Blue Dragon Legions, 200,000 Praetorian Guard Corps, and nearly 150,000 Fengyun Divisions, totaling about 780,000.

This army of 780,000 troops can be described as a large number of generals, if they really join forces together, they will definitely be invincible, but so many soldiers gathered together cannot exert their power, so Zhou Xiaojun plans to attack by different routes.

According to Zhou Xiaojun's initial idea, the soldiers were divided into two routes, the Blue Dragon Legion had the most troops and the strongest strength, so it was used as one way, and the Praetorian Guard Legion and the Fengyun Division were combined as one and the other.

Originally, this was a very good arrangement, but when it came to determining the main general of the Praetorian Guard Legion and the Fengyun Division, Zhou Xiaojun made a difficulty.

Qin Qiong is a battle-hardened general, and he is also the descendant of the Qin family, and he is also the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard Legion, it can be said that he is in a high position, his background is not weak, and he is also the peak martial emperor of the Nine Revolutions, so if you want him to cooperate with Zhou Yunfeng to fight, and listen to Zhou Yunfeng's command, it is definitely impossible.

In the past two months, although Zhou Yunfeng has gained fame and has also made great achievements, in Qin Qiong's eyes, Zhou Yunfeng is just a little doll, and he can't be compared with him Qin Qiong at all.

As for Zhou Yunfeng, it was only two months after he stepped into the battlefield, and the Fengyun Division was established for less than a month, but in these two months, Zhou Yunfeng defeated as many as 400,000 troops in six cities.

At this time, although Zhou Yunfeng was still only a division commander, he had nearly 150,000 soldiers and horses under his command, including more than 20,000 wildebeest cavalry, 100,000 light cavalry, and invincible wolf cavalry, so the combat effectiveness of the Fengyun division was no worse than that of the 200,000 Praetorian Guards, and even surpassed.

It was precisely because Zhou Yunfeng had these achievements and family background that he didn't want to hand over the nearly fifteen people he had accumulated with great difficulty to someone else's command, even Qin Qiong.

At the beginning of the military meeting, Zhou Xiaojun found that Zhou Yunfeng and Qin Qiong were not convinced by each other, although in terms of attitude, Zhou Yunfeng respected Qin Qiong very much, but Zhou Xiaojun knew that this was because Qin Qiong was an elder.

In discussing the matter of marching in, Zhou Yunfeng did not bow his head, and Qin Qiong, as the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard Legion, of course would not give in.

Although Zhou Xiaojun could completely order the two of them to listen to each other as a commander, Zhou Xiaojun couldn't do that, because even if he formulated the commander of another army, the two would still look like each other, which would be detrimental to the future battle.

Because the plan of the two-way march was bankrupt, Zhou Xiaojun took into account the strength and combat effectiveness of the three armies, and finally simply divided into three roads, and the three armies marched together and coordinated with each other.

The two county towns of Yonghe City and Gukou City do not belong to Tianwu Province, but to Luo Cang Province, which means that Zhou Yunfeng and their current location is in Luo Cang Province, and Luo Cang Province is also the first province they need to take to attack the Congyun Empire.

Zhou Yunfeng and Qin Qiong had no opinion on the decision of the army to divide into three ways, they knew that this was the best result, and it could also make it difficult for the Congyun Empire to defend.

After discussion, the offensive route was to take the Green Dragon Legion as the right army, pass through Luo Cangxing Province, and enter Tianyou Province, and the Burst Bear Legion of the Congyun Empire defending the northern frontier was in Tianyou Province, and the purpose of the Blue Dragon Legion's trip was to pinch the Burst Bear Legion with the Vermilion Bird Legion, so as to open the northern gate of the Congyun Empire.

The 200,000 Praetorian Guards led by Qin Qiong passed through Luocang Province and entered Moshi Province as the left army.

And because the cavalry in the Fengyun Division is strong, and the wolf cavalry in it marches extremely fast, it can better respond to both sides, so the Fengyun Division is the middle army.

The next target of the Fengyun Division is the same as that of the Praetorian Guard Legion, both of which are in the Moshi Province, but the routes taken by the two armies are different.

Therefore, after the attack matter was discussed, it was already two days later, and the actions of the seventy or eighty army were not a trivial matter, and the slightest carelessness might cause this hard-won advantage to come to naught, and even put their Tianyun Empire in a predicament.

Now the Tianyun Empire is fighting on two fronts, and the battle with the Izumo Empire is mired in a quagmire, if their army cannot bring victory to the Tianyun Empire, then the Tianyun Empire will inevitably fall into passivity in the next war.

When everything was negotiated, the three-way army had been mobilized to the other end of the valley, but the Blue Dragon Legion did not mobilize all of them, but left 10,000 recruits in Gukou City.

Gukou City is a very fatal place, even if there is no possibility of recapture by the Congyun Empire now, Zhou Xiaojun does not dare to take it lightly.

Although the city guards left in Taniguchi City have surrendered, Zhou Xiaojun does not fully trust them, so he left a team of 10,000 **, in addition to assisting in defending the city, he is watching the city guards of Tanikou City.

On the third day of Qin Qiong's arrival, as soon as it was dawn, Zhou Yunfeng led the blood-colored clan that was still in Gukou City out of the city from the south gate and went to the garrison of the Fengyun Division outside the valley.

At this time, the left and right armies led by Qin Qiong and Zhou Xiaojun had already set out, and the middle route army where Zhou Yunfeng was located was the last to set off, and the first city that the middle route army needed to attack was Daluo City, which Lan Huapeng retreated.

But when the Fengyun Division reached Daluo City, they didn't see Lan Huapeng. And even the tens of thousands of remaining Central Army under his command are gone.

Needless to say, Lan Huapeng and his soldiers and horses had already left Da Luo City, and even left Luo Cang Province.

After passing through Gukou City, the terrain of Luo Cangxing Province was flat, and there were no dangerous passes to defend, and the three-way army of the Tianyun Empire was powerless to resist at all.

And even if the Congyun Empire is given enough time to transfer troops, with the topography of Luo Cangxing Province, they can't hold it at all, so in order to avoid losing troops in vain, it is normal for Luo Cangxing Province to be selectively abandoned temporarily.

Although the Congyun Empire no longer increased its troops in Luo Cangxing Province, it did not mean that the cities did not resist at all, and the Congyun Empire also gave them a death order, that is, to consume the strength of the Tianyun Empire's army as much as possible.

Although none of the remaining dozen or so county cities in Luo Cangxing Province would be willing to work for the Congyun Empire, there were still many loyal people among them, but they had the heart to resist the enemy, but they were unable to return to the sky.

The city guards in each city are no more than 50,000 at most, and most of the cities are only 20,000 or 30,000 people, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the city guards, if such a force alone can withstand the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Because every time a city is captured, it needs to be surrendered and rectified, so that after leaving, the rear can be stabilized, so the offensive speed cannot be like Zhou Yunfeng did when he captured the five cities of Yuanchang, and he won five cities in five days, and such a speed is impossible to have anymore.

It's just that because the combat effectiveness of the defenders of each city is too weak, it is under such circumstances that Luo Cangxing Province also fell into the hands of the Tianyun Empire within a month.

On the twenty-third day of the attack launched by the Three-Way Army, Zhou Yunfeng captured the five cities that he needed to pass through at an astonishing speed, and led his troops into the next province of the Congyun Empire, Moshi Province.

On the third day of Zhou Yunfeng's entry into Moshi Province, that is, on the twenty-sixth day of the attack, the right-wing army led by Zhou Xiaojun also passed through Luo Cang Province and entered his next target, Tianyou Province.

Although the 200,000 troops on the left road where Qin Qiong was located were a little slower, they also successfully passed through Luo Cang Province and entered Moshi Province on the twenty-eighth day.

After the army captured the city, it did not leave any troops to garrison, because after the army left Gukou City, the Tianyun Empire had already drawn city guards from several provinces near the Congyun Empire and rushed to Luo Cangxing Province, and also sent a temporary principal.

And the task of the three-way army is to continue to build cities for the Tianyun Empire and eliminate the forces of the Congyun Empire as much as possible.

When the Tianyun Empire was preparing for the attack on Luo Cangxing Province and really attacking, the Congyun Empire was not idle, and the soldiers and horses from all over the country began to be constantly mobilized, the purpose of which was to block or even eliminate this army of the Tianyun Empire.

When Zhou Yunfeng entered the Moshi Province, the army sent by the Congyun Empire to block them had already arrived, a full 250,000, of which 200,000 were transferred from the Central Army of the Congyun Empire, and the other 50,000 were part of Lan Huapeng's remnants.

Because the Tianyun army that entered the Moshi Province was not only the Fengyun Division, the Congyun Empire, which had already discovered Zhou Xiaojun's intentions, did not only send reinforcements, and at the same time that the 250,000 troops blocking the Fengyun Division were in place, the army that blocked Qin Qiong also arrived.

The army that arranged to block Qin Qiong was not as large as the army that blocked Zhou Yunfeng, they only had 200,000, but their combat effectiveness was not at all 250,000, and the central army was weak.

Because these 200,000 people come from a legion that has been established for hundreds of years, it is the former Vermilion Bird Legion, and now the Fire Phoenix Legion.

Although the Blue Dragon Legion has also been inherited for hundreds of years, because it almost perished in the middle, its strength is not as good as before, even if it has been developed for decades now, it is still inferior to the existence of the Fire Phoenix Legion.
