Chapter 163: Darkness Chen Cang

After the end of the battle in the east, the Red Army immediately launched a barbaric harvest of the people of the Mu Country in this county, and robbed what they saw, and the gold and silver treasures of the Mu Country were pulled back to the country by the Red Army in batches, in addition, the people in the county were not spared, the Red Army killed the old, weak, sick and disabled when they saw them, and robbed them when they saw them, and transported them back to the country to be sold as slaves.

For a time, the eastern border of the wood country became a living hell on earth.

At the same time, the 150,000 elite wooden army commanded by General Mingquan was rushing to the east at full speed.

Looking at an urgent report, Liu Ji can imagine the suffering of the border people, he can't wait for himself to grow wings, fly directly to the east, and fight to the death with the Red Army, but he can't give birth to wings behind his back, and as the king of a country, he can't leave the capital rashly and participate in the battle on the front line.

Up to now, the Red Army has been fighting in the Mu Army, but the territory of the Jin State is still calm, and there is no movement of troops.

Red King Shi Huai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this time, he knew in his heart that with the little force he sent to attack Mu Guo, it was more than enough to catch Mu Guo off guard, once he encountered the main force of Mu Guo's central army, this little strength of his own country, it would be difficult to parry.

He summoned Tang Xian, the envoy sent by Lin Haotian, several times in a row, and asked him when the Jin Kingdom would send troops to the Mu Kingdom.

Now Tang Xian has no bottom in his heart, he has already reported the agreed time to send troops to Lin Haotian, but Lin Haotian insists on not sending troops, what can he do?

To this vague answer. How can Shi Huai be satisfied, at this time, there are also voices dissatisfied with his decision-making within the Red Kingdom's court, and many ministers think that Shi Huai is gullible and believes in Lin Haotian's rhetoric, and rashly sends troops to Mu Kingdom, resulting in the current situation that it is difficult to ride a tiger in the Red Kingdom.

Right now. Even if the Red Kingdom withdraws its troops, the Wood Country will not give up, and they can only continue to fight.

It wasn't until eleven days later that there was finally movement on the side of the Jin State, and the Central Army launched a big military parade in Wancheng, the capital of Jin.

This military parade can be called a grand occasion, unprecedented, statistics do not know how many Jin soldiers participated, at that time Wancheng was covered by a golden flag, the soldiers participating in the parade entered Wancheng from the north gate, through the main road. Going straight to the palace, when they reached the north gate of the palace, the procession changed direction, bypassed the palace, and walked through the main gate of the palace, which is the south gate.

The officers and men of the Jin Army who participated in the parade can be called strong soldiers and strong horses, and it is the horse team that walks in front. The cavalry of the Jin country has never been strong, and the Jin country is mountainous and watery, and it does not produce good horses. However, since Lin Haotian was in charge of the border army, he has been buying military horses on a large scale. Therefore, the war horses in the army are also sufficient.

Seeing the horses of the Jin army slowly passing through the neat phalanx, the people of the Jin country who came to watch let out a tsunami-like shout, and the crowd was excited and enthusiastic.

In the past, military parades were basically in the school military field, which could only be seen by monarchs and ministers, and had nothing to do with ordinary people. Now that Lin Haotian has pulled the military parade into the city, it can be regarded as a precedent for the Abyss Continent.

At this time, Lin Haotian was standing beside Zhao Yu, the king of Jin, and slowly walked to the palace wall surrounded by the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, raising his eyes to look. Looking at the black pressure and the horse team that could not be seen at a glance, he was also very proud in his heart, and then looked into the distance, it was the boundless people, Lin Haotian hastily estimated that the people who came to watch the parade were hundreds of thousands.

What he didn't know was that there were now countless people of the Jin Kingdom gathered on both sides of the main road outside the palace, which could be called an empty alley.

After the cavalry team, it is the archer team, in fact, the current Jin army is not divided into archers and melee soldiers, the soldiers who pick up bows and arrows are archers, and they are melee soldiers when they replace swords, but in order to make the parade complete, Lin Haotian still divided a part of the soldiers to be archers.

Wait for the archers to pass, followed by a phalanx of crossbowmen.

In this era when crossbow machines were not yet popular, Lin Haotian played a role in carrying forward the crossbow machines, and since he took over the army, he specially set up a department for manufacturing weapons, which was specially used for the development of ordnance in the army.

Now Jinguo's crossbow machine has begun mass production, and a large number of them have been assembled into the hands of soldiers of various armies.

Following the crossbowmen is the ordnance logistics army, this phalanx is not dominated by people, which is full of large attack equipment, stone throwers, rushing cars, thunderbolts, city-breaking crossbows, broken army crossbows, etc., there are many people who have witnessed these things for the first time in their lives, and whenever a large equipment passes in front of them, people can't help but exclaim.

Walking in Zuihou is also the finale of the parade, melee infantry.

No matter how fast the horses are, how sharp the bows and crossbows are, and how domineering the large ordnance is, Zuihou must be close to the infantry to completely defeat the opponent and fully occupy, and the melee infantry is the protagonist of eternal inconvenience on the battlefield.

The Jin Army's melee infantry is world-renowned for their fighting bravery and is also known as the Tiger and Wolf Division.

Before the phalanx of melee infantry reached the palace, the sound of dull and heavy footsteps was heard in the distance, and the steps of the soldiers of the Jin army were so neat that they almost made a sound as they marched forward, accompanied by the shaking of the ground.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

At this time, the palace and the outside suddenly magically quieted, only the footsteps of the infantry phalanx getting closer and closer, people subconsciously stretched their necks, and looked in the direction of the street, when the infantry phalanx finally appeared in people's sight, the field suddenly erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

Looking at the infantry phalanx, the flags were unfurled, the embroidered ribbons were fluttering, the black armor was red tassels, and the swords were like a forest. Xiangshang looks at the scarlet, Xiangxia looks at the black press, black and red, this is the characteristic of the Jin Army.

"Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold—"

The infantry walked through the main gate of the palace, the soldiers shouted in unison, and the shouts were immediately rendered to everyone present, the people outside the palace shouted, and the guards and ministers in the palace also shouted, and the excitement of the people reached the climax of the parade at this time.

The big military parade of the Jin Kingdom soon spread to the Red Kingdom, and the Red Kingdom Imperial Court headed by Shi Huai was dumbfounded, and people almost couldn't believe that it was true.

According to the time agreed by the two sides to attack Muguo, the Jin army should have already arrived in Wuling County, but the Jin army is still in Wancheng, at this time, even if it is immediately dispatched, it will have to wait a month to reach Shangpu County!

At this time, Red King Shi Huai felt that he had indeed been deceived by Lin Haotian.

The same news reached the court of Mu State, and the monarchs and ministers of Mu State led by Liu Ji all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the main force of Jin State was still in Yancheng, and the 200,000 troops left in the territory of Jin State could sit back and relax, and now they could concentrate on dealing with the Red Army in the east, and after defeating the Red Army, they would turn back and attack Wuling County.

Just three days after the incident, the court of the Jin State suddenly posted a notice, saying that the Mu State forcibly captured the two counties of Changyu and Shangpu in the territory of the Jin State, and after that, he did many evils in the territory of the Jin State, burning, killing and looting, and did all kinds of evil! What he did, people and gods were indignant, and Zhao Yu, the king of Jin, worshiped Lin Haotian as the commander of the three armies, commanded 200,000 troops, and officially declared war on the Mu State.

When this edict of rebellion was announced, there was an uproar in the Jin Kingdom, and the people were not opposed to declaring war on the Mu Kingdom, but felt that the matter came too suddenly, and they did not hear a little wind in advance.

Jin Guo suddenly declared war on Mu Guo, which also surprised the Mu Guo government and the public, I don't know what medicine Jin King Zhao Yu took wrong, and he dared to declare war on his country when he was affected by the disaster in the country, isn't this looking for death?

The ministers of the Mu Kingdom also joked about this incident as a laughing stock, saying that after the Red Army was swept away, and after the army withdrew, they would take advantage of the situation to attack the Golden Land and extinguish the arrogance of the Jin State.

However, the day after the Jin State issued the edict of rebellion, the 200,000 Jin army had quietly and silently driven out of Wancheng and entered Wuling County. (To be continued......)
