Part 2 Chapter 1 The situation is grim

It's been ten years in the blink of an eye.

In the past ten years, there have been repeated wars in various countries on the entire continent, but most of them have been trivial, and a discerning person can see at a glance that the monarchs of various countries are a little unwilling to be lonely. After this round of temptation, I am afraid that the whole world will be full of smoke.

At this point, it is no longer the case that the country wants to simply protect itself and be able to calm down the people, and the people will not hurt the tiger, but the tiger will harm the people's hearts; even if it is for self-preservation, it must rise up and join in the game of dominating the world!

In recent years, the Chengtian Kingdom has been at war continuously, and it is in the middle of several countries, of course, it is the main opponent of the surrounding countries' military training and temptation, and it is also a big piece of fat! Fortunately, the Chengtian Kingdom has a generation of invincible commander Ling Xiao supporting the scene, and besides, all countries dare not pour their national troops to attack, lest the praying mantis catch cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, and others take advantage of the loophole, so it will be a lot of hard work to make a wedding dress for others.

Therefore, although the Chengtian Kingdom was constantly frightened, it did not break its muscles and bones. The people firmly believe that as long as General Ling is present, foreign aggression can be ignored. Although the domestic situation is a little tense, it is still showing a faction of singing and dancing.

The Great Battalion of the Western Front. Handsome tent.

Ling Xiao frowned, looking at the military topographic map hanging on the wall, with a faint melancholy in his eyes.

Behind him, a row of lieutenant generals stood neatly, looking at the marshal intently, expecting Ling Xiao to make a new combat deployment.

Ling Xiao sighed secretly, pointed to the topographic map and said, "Come and see, this place." The two mountains are sandwiched by horns, and in the middle is a canyon, which is five or six miles long, and the narrowest part is only a few dozen zhang wide, which is the only way for our army to advance and retreat from the enemy; if the West Korea lays an ambush in this place, there are ambushes on each side of the mountain, and when our army passes by, it will either be hit with rolling wood and stones, or attacked by fire, and our army will suffer heavy casualties! Even if it passes, there will absolutely no longer be the combat strength to confront the enemy troops who are waiting for the enemy on the other side of the canyon. However, this canyon is the only way to march, and there is no other way to follow. ”

All the generals came behind Ling Xiao and stared at each other, everyone already knew about this situation, Xihan and Chengtian have not been fighting for decades, and they have relied on the natural danger of this canyon, over the years, just in this canyon, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Chengtian Army have been buried at least. In the army, it was called "Weeping Soul Valley" and the two mountains were called "Soul Loss Mountain"! So much so that later, as soon as the Chengtian Army arrived in this valley in all previous wars, it immediately withdrew its troops and did not make any intention of advancing.

A partial general looked up at Ling Xiao and said tentatively: "Marshal, the war has stopped here for many years, why do you have to take this Weeping Soul Valley this time? Our army is also defending the danger here, and the fortress will never be lost." ”

Everyone in the tent nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Ling Xiao shouted angrily: "Confused! This time is different from the past, the world is about to be in turmoil; if I Chengtian takes the Soul Mountain and Weeping Soul Valley in one fell swoop, the western front will be foolproof from now on, and I can still send troops to other lines to help defend, once the chaos starts, I have the Valley of Weeping Souls in my hands, I can attack and retreat, and I can defend it, and the initiative will be completely in the hands of our army! How can I say the same thing?"

After a pause, he asked, "Do you have any news from Tanma?"

A young general stepped forward and arched his hand: "General, I haven't returned yet." As he spoke, a layer of melancholy appeared on his face. Since the start of the war, there have been at least a dozen groups of spies sent to Soul Mountain, but not a single one has returned, which shows how tightly defended the enemy army is.

Ling Xiao's face was even more worried, "Han Shize, the commander of the Western Korean Army, is proficient in the art of war, and has been stationed in Soul Mountain for five years. But our army has to take this mountain of lost souls. Otherwise, there will be a big chaos, and our country will suffer from the enemy, and the danger of losing the country is just around the corner!"

He raised his eyebrows and said, "How many days have you been there for the latest batch of exploration horses?"

The young general replied, "It's been five days." ”

Ling Xiao let out a long sigh and said, "There is less evil and auspicious!" After a pause, he said, "Probe again, report again!"

The generals were silent. They all knew that the marshal was already determined to win this Soul Mountain, and if it was to say, the marshal, who had always been sympathetic, would inevitably order a retreat outside the valley.

Judging from the importance that the marshal attached to the Soul Mountain this time, everyone noticed that the incident was unusual. Could it be that this is how the chaos in the world begins?

Ling Xiao saw everyone's eyes and knew that everyone was puzzled, so he waved his hand to remove the topographic map on the wall and replace it with another one. When everyone looked at it, it was a general topographical map of the kingdom.

Ling Xiao pointed with his finger and said: "The latest report from the military department says that the Northern Wei Dynasty is gathering a large army of 150,000 in the country, and it will be drawn to the north of our Chengtian army defense in an unexpected way; it will be able to reach it in no more than three months; plus the original garrison of the Northern Wei Dynasty there is 80,000, and the total strength is as much as 230,000! Its intentions are self-evident. ”

All the generals gasped.

Ling Xiao continued to point to the east and said, "In the east of our country, the Moon God Kingdom and the Great Zhao Kingdom are constantly at war, and the battle between the two sides is currently deadlocked, but no matter which side wins, I, Chengtian, will bear the brunt." In the south, although Wu Guo and Nan Zheng are not moving now, they are secretly recruiting sergeants on a large scale, and they are obviously preparing to move. I, Chengtian, are located in the center of the continent, and the fronts on all sides have not yet stabilized one side! If there is a great chaos, it will inevitably be invaded by the four sides and be torn apart. ”

Ling Xiao turned around, faced the generals, and said categorically: "Therefore, no matter what price you pay, you must take down the Soul Mountain in the shortest possible time and completely stabilize the west." At that time, the 100,000 officers and men of our western army will be stationed, and more than 60,000 will be sent to the other three fronts. to ensure that you do not lose anything. ”

The generals were dumbfounded. I never dreamed that the situation would be so serious!

A forty or fifty-year-old veteran general said with a puzzled face: "In recent years, I have always had a friendly relationship with neighboring countries, and I have always been close to Wu, Southern Zheng and Northern Wei, and I have always been friendly, how could I suddenly ......?"

Ling Xiao glanced at him and didn't speak. No wonder you have been in the army for nearly 30 years and you are only a general, how can a mere political marriage be important for the hegemony of the world? At such a time, what king of a country would be stupid enough to care about this?

At present, the overall situation is focused on the battle between Chengtian and West Korea on the Soul Mountain, if Chengtian wins, then the peace on the surface of the world will continue for a few years, if Chengtian is defeated, then the world will be full of flames overnight! No country can tolerate West Korea breaking the balance of power and monopolizing Chengtian! It is bound to lead troops to Chengtian to get a piece of the pie.

Although this battle is only a confrontation between two countries with less than 200,000 people, it is related to the overall situation of the world and is extremely crucial!

It has been half a year since Ling Xiao came to the Western Front, and the two armies have fought each other for half a year, but Han Shize, the commander of Western Korea, is also a battle-hardened general, and he saw through Ling Xiao's intentions, just sticking to the Soul Mountain and never advancing. Ling Xiao had nothing to do. If it drags on for a long time, it will be very detrimental to Chengtian!
