Chapter 400: Youping City

Previous Chapter

The military camp was in front of him, and Zhao Tianming didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he directly led the army to march quickly to the military camp.

When he encountered an ambush in the woods, Zhao Tianming had already sent someone to the barracks to report in advance. Therefore, before the army arrived at the barracks, the gate of the village had already been opened, and a thousand cavalry rushed out of the gate, escorting them on both sides of the army, escorting them to the barracks.

Everything in the barracks is dominated by the army, so the first thing Zhao Tianming did after arriving at the barracks was to hand over the escorted heavy grain and grass to the barracks master book one by one. The rest of the people also had their own errands, and all the guards were uniformly placed in a military camp, while Lin Zhan, the dozens of children of the family, were left aside, and just said lightly to let them wait.

Such an attitude makes these children of the family who are used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays how can they stand it. Many people are already clamoring to go directly to the main general here.

However, this time they did not rush forward, but at the end of the shouting, they all set their eyes on Lin Zhan.

Their meaning is very clear, they want Lin Zhan to take the lead.

On the one hand, this is because Lin Zhan is much stronger than them. Coupled with Lin Zhan's background, anyone who eats in the army will not and dare not ignore what Lin Zhan said.

On the other hand, they also showed that they were looking forward to everything with Lin Zhan as the first step.

And Lin Zhan has been observing since he entered the barracks, not only observing the structure of the entire barracks, but also observing the people in the barracks.

From these things in front of you, you can see what kind of person the commander of this army is.

The whole barracks are clearly divided and interlocking, like a whole. The sergeants who patrolled back and forth were also in high spirits and high morale. Although there are a large number of people, they can all do their jobs and be busy but not chaotic.

The whole barracks knew at a glance that they had already prepared for anything, and that the enemy would meet with the most stubborn resistance at any time and in any way.

At the same time, they were ready to leave the camp and fight the enemy in the vast wilderness.

And this is just a peripheral camp, among the nearly one million troops of the empire on this defense line, the core and most elite part is still in Youping City, which is further ahead.

The empire has two most important lines of defense in the north, one is Youping City, which is garrisoned by Eagle Jiuxuan, and the other is the Tianshi Fortress, which is garrisoned by Iron Storm.

The two lines of defense resisted the attacks of the two empires of Yantang and Shenlong respectively.

Eagle Jiuxuan is the commander of the Iron Eagle Legion, one of the six main legions of the empire, with his Iron Eagle Legion as the core, the 700,000 imperial army gathered around Youping City, plus the 400,000 reinforcements sent by Lin Tianxiao later, there are now more than 1 million imperial troops in the direction of Youping.

And opposite them were more than two million elite troops of the Divine Dragon Empire.

The situation of the Tianshi Fortress, the other defense line in the north, was similar to that of Youping City.

Lin Tianxiao arrived at the northern battlefield of the empire with more than 1.8 million reinforcements more than a month ago, and took over more than one million troops of the empire in the north, becoming the supreme commander of the northern front of the empire.

However, now Lin Tianxiao is not on the two frontlines of Youping City and Tianshi Fortress. Instead, it sits in Yecheng, the largest city in the north, and coordinates the overall situation. Lin Tianxiao also had more than a million imperial troops by his side, ready to support Youping City and Tianshi Fortress at any time.

And following Lin Tianxiao was Lin Keluo, who was known for his bravery in the second generation of the Lin family.

Yecheng, Youping, and Tianshi Fortress, these three cities are distributed in glyphs, forming an iron triangle of the empire's northern defense line. Lin Tianxiao relied on this iron triangle to fight against the four million elites of Yantang and Shenlong.

And from this peripheral military camp, it can be seen that Eagle Jiuxuan can control the Iron Eagle Legion, one of the six main legions of the empire, and it is definitely not in vain.

It's not easy to talk to such people. All the more so because of this reason.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Ying Jiuxuan is a recognized faction of the Lin family, and now that Lin Tianxiao is in the north, Ying Jiuxuan will definitely give face if he speaks.

However, Lin Zhan was sure that as soon as he opened his mouth, Ying Jiuxuan would definitely tie himself up first, beat him violently, and then send himself to Lin Tianxiao.

The descendants of the Lin family are actually so virtuous, then I will discipline Lin Tianxiao well.

"Brother Lin, I don't know what you think about this matter. ”

At this time, even Situ Mingliang came out to ask Lin Zhan. But looking at that look, Situ Mingliang also felt that this thing couldn't be done.

Since it was something that couldn't be done, how could Lin Zhan move forward.

"They have a million armies in their hands, and one breath can blow us to death. On other people's territory, let's be honest first. ”

What Lin Zhan said was also very clear, the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake of the ground, and he endured it when he first arrived.

What's more, his own dragon is still a young dragon that has not grown up, but the ground snake on the other side is a thousand-year-old python.

"Brother Lin is right. ”

The children of the other families were still a little unhappy in their hearts, but seeing that Lin Zhan and Situ Mingming, the two people born from the giant families in the army, were honestly waiting, they didn't dare to say anything.

Lin Zhan and the others waited here for half an hour before Zhao Tianming hurried over.

During this period, the sergeants who came and went looked at these young men in brocade clothes with strange eyes, and many of them saw the anger rolling in their hearts, and they felt like they were monkeys on the side of the road.

Zhao Tianming didn't come alone, he was accompanied by a middle-aged man in a long shirt and a one-inch beard.

In the barracks, where armor is everywhere and flags are lined up, a middle-aged man dressed as a literati looks out of place. However, it is this unusual dress that further illustrates this person's special identity.

"I am Yuan Shengwen, a staff member in the army, and I am ordered by General Eagle to take you to meet him. ”

The person who came just gave a brief introduction, and asked Lin Zhan and them to follow him.

If you come, you will be safe, Lin Zhan didn't say anything or ask more, so he followed.

Seeing that Lin Zhan had already left, the others followed honestly.

What kind of scene is it for more than a million troops to spread out in its entirety, many people have never seen it, let alone anyone can imagine it. But today, the children of these pampered families have a clear understanding of this concept.

Everyone rode horses and walked in the military camp for a long time, and the scene in front of them almost never changed, and as for the legendary Youping City, they didn't even see a shadow.

If it weren't for Lin Zhan and Situ Mingliang in front of them who didn't make a sound, I'm afraid some people would have been unable to help but question it.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, Lin Zhan and the others finally saw the legendary Youping City.

The walls of Youping City are not very high, only about three of the four winds of the Heavenly Star Imperial Capital. But the entire wall had turned black, not only blackened by the flames of war, but also by the blood that had dried up on it.

As soon as the breeze blew, a disgusting and disgusting smell was immediately heard.

Lin Zhan was a little strange when he saw this situation. He asked, "This wall is close to the Imperial side, why is there still traces of war?"

The empire's nearly a million troops are deployed near Youping City, and unless these million troops are defeated, Youping City will not be encircled, let alone attacked on all sides.

Yuan Shengwen's expression was a little strange, with some sadness, and he sighed: "Gongzi doesn't know, this time the Shenlong Empire suddenly attacked, our side was caught off guard, and Youping City was occupied by the enemy on the sixth day after the battle. In order to recover Youping City, we fought a bloody battle for half a month, and suffered more than 100,000 casualties. ”

Youping Castle is a large city closest to the border, and its strategic position is quite important, so it is natural for the enemy and the enemy to fight here. I believe it was a month ago that there was a pile of sergeants who died in battle.

The blood on the walls has probably just dried up.

However, this also shows that the situation on the border is more serious than Lin Zhan imagined.

Under the nose of Eagle Jiuxuan, the enemy army was able to take Youping City within six days. Although there is an element of sneak attack in this, it also shows the strength of the enemy army and their determination.
