Chapter Eighty-Six: Countdown to the Beginning of the War
"I didn't expect it to be so realistic, I couldn't tell that I was wearing a mask at all, haha, little couple, not bad. After the two returned to the Royal Sanctuary, Murong Sheng was the first to joke.
Hearing the words little husband and wife, Murong Xue's cheeks flushed with shame, "Dad, don't make fun of me." ”
"Where did Dad make fun of you? Isn't what I'm telling the truth? You are pretending to be husband and wife, but in reality you are also husband and wife, and I am not wrong. ”
"Hey, isn't this not yet married?" Murong Xue said coquettishly.
Murong Sheng also knew that this was not the time to joke, "Okay, I won't tease you." General Qin Tuo and Marshal Yu Jian have already led the army to set off, and Marshal Xiyan will soon come to the restaurant to make peace with us, let's hurry up and leave, don't delay the big event. ”
Among the four major gates, Jiechen and Duan Fengli were ordered to go to Dongling Pass and Mobei Pass respectively. The remaining disciples of the two major sects were arranged to be on standby in Longli Town, led by Xiyan. Everyone gathered at the door of the restaurant, Ye Yuechen and Murong Xue also temporarily tore off their masks, in order to make this scene more similar, Xi Yan specifically asked the two not to be exposed to too many people too early, and only when necessary could they appear as "Sword Saint" and "Sound Soul", and in addition to Murong Sheng and Xi Yan and others, they did not have much contact with other people, and the changes in their voices did not attract too many people's attention.
The dragon drive army of more than one million, under the leadership of Xi Yan, drove mightily towards Longli Town. Along the way, Yue Tianya always looked at Ye Yuechen with strange eyes, his expression was always disdainful, thinking that even if this deputy commander was just a name, Ye Yuechen would not have this qualification at all.
Of the remaining more than a million troops, there were 300,000 cavalry and more than 700,000 infantry. The heavy armor rubbed against the ground, making a "sonorous" sound.
Ye Yuechen's mood was both excited and worried at this time, the deputy commander appointed by Mora was just a good sound, to put it bluntly, he was just a leader at present, but he didn't care about these, he was not interested in fame and fortune. But this time, in addition to fighting to defend his family and country, he also has personal grudges to fight with Yue Tianya, Yuri and the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect to figure it out, Yunuo's hatred, Wang Yuan's hatred, and getting the antidote for Yan'er. He knew how heavy the task was on his shoulders, and if he succeeded, everyone would be happy, but if he failed, he would undoubtedly become a sinner in the eyes of everyone.
It was not very far from Suzaku City to Longli Town, and after half a day, the army had already arrived at its destination. Longli Town was empty at this time, and all the people had moved into Feihuang City, and Longli Town had already vacated to prepare for the Tun army.
"Rest in place. "Yugam ordered all the sergeants.
It is worthy of a well-trained army, and it has been on the road for half a day without stopping, and even if it is now ordered to rest, there is no confusion at all, and the formation still has not changed at all, everyone just stands in place and moves their bodies slightly.
Yugen took out the map again, spread it out on the ground and looked at it carefully.
"Ye Yuechen. ”
"In. Ye Yuechen now seems to regard himself as a soldier.
"Is this mountain in front of you the Heavenly Broken Mountain?" asked Yugan, pointing to a very tall mountain in front of him.
"That's right, this is Tianduan Mountain, it is also the highest mountain range within a radius of 100 miles, Tianduan Mountain is a primeval forest, the higher the altitude, the more rare and exotic beasts will be. However, this mountain is very steep, and the cliffs in the mountain can be seen everywhere, so in my opinion, it is not suitable for the hidden army. ”
Murong Sheng, Yue Tianya and the others looked at the tall mountain range, and they also nodded.
"Well, I think so. Let the army rest in the town first, and after I have checked the overall terrain of Longli Town, I will decide on the ambush location. Yugon said, closing the map.
Although there are many inns in Longli Town, in the face of more than a million troops, the rooms in the inns are definitely not enough. Therefore, Yugen only let the main generals stay in the inn, while most of the soldiers set up tents on the main road, and all that was left to do was to build a stove and make a fire for cooking.
Soon in the evening, Yugen ordered all the wine in the inn to be carried to the middle of the road and distributed to each soldier. Then he picked up a jar of wine, took a sip and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is clear that the East Turkistan army will reach the border of Longqi, and it will be a vicious battle at that time, for the sake of our Longqi Empire, for the dignity of our Longqi, we will not lose, and we cannot lose." ”
A million people shouted in unison, "We will not lose, and we cannot lose, we will defend the dignity of the Dragon Empire to the death." The sound can be described as deafening, such a majestic momentum, some people may not see it in their lifetime. Subsequently, more than a million people picked up the wine bowl in their hands and drank it all.
The next day, the soldiers were training in the middle of the road, and even if the battle was about to start, they would not miss any opportunity to train.
Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves.
"Report ......" saw a scout hurrying from a distance on horseback.
"Marshal Qiyu, the East Turkistan army has arrived in front of Wantong Pass and is currently camped five hundred meters away. General Qin Tuo ordered me to come and report as soon as possible. ”
"Got it. ”
After receiving the news, Xiyan ordered all the soldiers to stand by, and he and the two main gates went to Wantong Pass to check the enemy's situation, leaving only a few lieutenant generals to lead the army. Being able to get close to the enemy, Ye Yuechen naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, so he and Wang Tianhao and others also arrived at Wantong Pass with Xiyan.
"General Qin, what's the situation. After a while, several people climbed the city wall, and Xiyan looked at the black and oppressive East Turkistan army in front of him, and asked about the battle situation.
"There's no movement yet. Qin Tuo's eyes stared motionless at the outside of the city wall. The East Turkistan army is like ants coming out of the nest, although they are 500 meters apart, but the number of them still makes people feel breathless.
On the city wall, the archers have long been prepared, two rows of archers are neatly arranged at the head of the city, and the quiver on their backs has long been filled with sharp arrows. In addition to archers, trebuchets, and boiling lard, all kinds of defense equipment have been put on the top of the city.
It is easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, and the walls of Wantong Pass are thick and tall, and it is definitely not a simple matter to capture them. If the East Turkistan army forcibly attacked, it would inevitably bring heavy casualties to themselves, perhaps they were also aware of this and did not take action for a long time.
Yuyan's eyes were full of depth, and no one could guess what was going on in his heart. "Since there is no movement, let's make a little movement for him. ”
Qin Tuo also smiled slightly after hearing this, the experience honed in the battlefield for many years had already made them reach the level of a spiritual heart. "I'll do it myself, I never like to be idle. ”......
The East Turkistan army still did not make any moves, and in the blink of an eye, night came.
Ye Yuechen was very worried in his heart, and asked Xi Yan, "Does Yuri want to take advantage of the dark night to carry out a sneak attack?"
Xiyan smiled and said, "Surprise attack is definitely a miracle move, but don't forget, we are defending the city, not a head-on confrontation, as long as we don't relax, even if they sneak attack, it won't have any impact on us." To attack the city, the most important thing is to have powerful siege equipment and a steady stream of troops to replenish the city. ”
Ye Yuechen was still not at ease, "Then will they take advantage of the night to let a few people climb the city wall first, and then join forces inside and outside?"
"The soldiers of our Dragon Drive Empire are each well-trained, and on the city wall, there will be a group of soldiers patrolling in all directions every minute, and in such a short period of time, it is impossible for them to climb the city wall. ”
After hearing this, Ye Yuechen suddenly realized that he had never thought that there was so much knowledge in war, and staying with these soldiers in the army had increased a lot of knowledge about his mind, and his mind gradually became more delicate.
