Ying Zihan received news from Stormwind City, and it was news from Wang Cheng. The meaning revealed is to let Ying Zihan fight with the Heilin Principality first, if Ying Zihan fights Ying, there will be no trouble. As for not winning the war, the messenger didn't say what would happen, but at that time, there was no need for the Dawn Empire to deal with Ying Zihan. At that time, the army of the Heilin Principality will directly destroy Yingzihan.

Of course, Ying Zihan will not be afraid, during this time, his troops have been frequently mobilized, and he is ready for a big battle. Although the recruits trained some time ago still had some time, Ying Zihan directly sent them to the battlefield. Of course, Ying Zihan did not let them die, but sent them to every barracks. sent the best group of people to the army that was about to start the war, for example, Yang Yuan's army directly replenished eight hundred people. The Yulin Army has removed the seriously wounded and dead and disabled in this war, and the supply of troops has been replenished. Now the number of the army has reached two thousand six hundred, of which five hundred heavy cavalry, five hundred melee soldiers, and one thousand six hundred spearmen.

The Yulin Army was also assigned 800 people, and the Yulin Army reached 3,500 infantry, 1,000 cavalry, and 500 Shenji Battalion, a total of 5,000 people. Ying Zihan put all the forces of the Yulin Army on Thorn Ridge this time, preparing to fight with the army of the Heilin Principality. The rest of the recruits were all sent to other places, for example, Ying Zihan's pro-guard army Huben Army was divided into 500, the pass increased troops by 200, and the rest of the local town guard army also mixed with some recruits.

This is also a strategy of Ying Zihan, judging from the population and the source of soldiers, the white army under Ying Zihan will definitely surpass the Qin army in the future, which is inevitable. And now put soldiers of different colors together, and then use war to build their friendship. Otherwise, there will definitely be a great contradiction between the two armies with different skin colors under his command in the future, and mutiny is very likely.

Of course, the soldiers who were seriously injured and disabled during this period of war were also well resettled by Ying Zihan, and some of them could return to the army after their physical recovery. Others could choose to join an ordnance battalion or return to their hometowns to train militia. Thus, the ordnance battalion also increased by almost a hundred people during this time. Because even disabled soldiers are reluctant to go home and choose the ordnance battalion, after all, the treatment of the families of the soldiers under Ying Zihan is too high.

And during this time, the Heilin Principality was not idle, they had harassed the Dawn Empire from time to time without warning. Now they have forgotten how powerful the empire is, and ignore the majesty of the empire. So he kept provoking the bottom line of the empire, and this time of course he had to seize the opportunity.

The two generalissimos of the Principality of Heilin also began to quarrel because of this matter. Hawke is the marshal of the Northern Army of the Principality of Heilin, and Bush is the marshal of the Southern Army of the Principality of Heilin. The two of them are the two bigwigs in the Dawn Empire's army, and at the same time, they don't deal with each other. The previous Mead was Hawke's man, and Mead's suppression was also Bush Shogun's. The reason for their argument this time was that they all wanted to send troops to attack Ying Zihan.

In their opinion, sending troops to fight Ying Zihan this time is a credit, that is, they have no way to be promoted, but their subordinates still need credit. So both of them were fighting for the candidates to send troops this time, and they fought for two days to get a result. Because Hawke's Mead United has lost several consecutive battles, most of the officials this time were appointed by Bush.

Bird was an infantry colonel in the Northern Army, he led 3,000 infantry as the forward force, and there was a major general with 5,000 infantry and 6,000 peasants, and 2,000 light cavalry with a lieutenant colonel of the Boer cavalry. This time they are not here to fight a war of plunder, but a war of aggression. The difference is that the former only needs to bring a few days of dry food, and run away after killing people and setting fire to grab things, while the latter has to set up camp and bring enough food and grass.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Mead was defeated so badly last time, if he brought enough shields, I am afraid that at least he would not have lost so badly, this is the difference between fighting autumn wind and aggression. Because it is destined not to carry heavy weapons (that is, iron shields, which are different from ordinary wooden shields). If you take these marches with you, the speed will be greatly slowed down, and by the time the army arrives, everyone will run out. It's a good thing that you rob each other and don't become a joke.

However, this time it was not only the Black Lin Northern Army that invaded the Dawn Empire. You can't have too much appetite as a person, and you have to leave some benefits for others when you eat meat yourself. Therefore, the northern army of the Principality of Heilin still has two ways to help. All the way was a man sent by Marshal Hawke, a marquis of the Duchy of Heilin, the county of Guransoya. He also brought Marshal Hawke here to get a piece of the pie this time, but this time he was only here to play a front station. No one knows if there will be a war with the Dawn Empire after the fight against Yingzihan, I'm afraid that the Southern Army will come to participate in the war at that time.

He was a nobleman rather than a soldier, but since the founding history of the Principality of Heilin was still not long, even ordinary people still retained a belligerent spirit. The combat effectiveness of the two thousand infantry brought by Sharp would not be worse than that of the soldiers under Reed. Even because of the equipment, they will be much stronger than the other party, after all, they are supported by the Southern Army to fight here. If they can't even get together the equipment, it will be the Southern Army, so they still have the strength to fight as a whole.

The second is the power from the Church, and Ansel is a bishop of the Church in the Duchy of Heilin. However, his seniority was very old, and it was only a matter of time before he was promoted to archbishop. He is also part of the plan to weaken the Dawn Empire, and this time he will also represent the Church and lead an army to help the Principality of Heilin.

That's right, the church also has an army, otherwise a few magicians will be exhausted by using the tactics of the sea of people, and the church will naturally not listen to it if it has no strength. These duchy kingdoms are not fools who are appointed as the dogs of the church. Because there is a church army in their country that cannot be ignored, if these people cooperate with outsiders, they can still overthrow a country like the Principality of Heilin.

However, these cathars are not many in the Empire, so this is why the Church has little control over the Empire.

The elite of the cathar army is divided into three ranks, and this time the five hundred cavalry led by Anse Air is the lowest level of gray knights. However, it is not because of the lowest level that they are a rabble, but because they are more powerful than the average army. Because the church often draws troops from these people to fight the demons, and if these armies are all waste snacks, wouldn't it be to send food to the demons?

The five hundred cathars of the church this time are not the most important, Bishop Anse El has drawn a hundred magicians from various churches in the Principality of Heilin, which is a big killer if it is used well. If it is not used well, it is estimated that it will be a hundred civilians.

However, when he was younger, Anse El participated in the battle of the city in the sky against the demon invasion. He knows a lot about the use of magicians. For example, why the soldiers of the church are very brave in battle and are not afraid of death. The first is the issue of faith, these people believe that they are fighting for God and are not afraid of death. This can be seen from the Yellow Turban Lux.

But there is another point that should not be overlooked, and that is that it is difficult for them to die. First of all, the equipment of the apologetics is very good, basically everyone is wearing armor, and their own combat effectiveness is not bad. Then there's the fact that they're used to bringing mages with them when they fight, and as long as they don't die on the spot, magic can bring you back. This makes it not a problem to provide a full number of times the morale, you must know that half of the wounded soldiers in the ordinary army die due to poor healing. These figures also include minor injuries, and the seriously injured are basically not saved, and only the seriously injured officers will be treated with all their might, and ordinary soldiers can only resign themselves to fate. It was because of this problem that Ying Zihan reduced the post-war mortality rate.

It can be said that if the opposing army knew that there were these hundred magicians in their army, I am afraid that the morale of the entire army would increase by three layers.
