Chapter 229: Imperial Expedition (4)

It was only after the officers at all levels gathered that Lu Zhanfang knew that although the name of this "Brave Army" was mighty and majestic, it was actually just a ragtag army and an empty shelf.

Among them, all the men and horses were temporarily drawn from the major military leadership factions under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Prince, and the personnel were disorganized, all branches of the army existed, and the soldiers and lieutenants were also uneven, and the military spirit was scattered.

With such a force, it is extremely difficult for them to become a fighting force in a short period of time.

What's more, Lu Zhan has no experience in leading troops, he has always been accustomed to single-handedly roaming in all directions, and now he suddenly has to take a force of 50,000 people to the battlefield to experience the test of blood and fire, which is still a new challenge for the imperial bravery.

However, Lu Zhan was born with the kind of true temperament that gets stronger in the face of setbacks, faces difficulties, and is accustomed to facing various challenges.

And if he wants to turn this uneven team into a good fighting elite who only obeys his own orders, of course, he has to put a lot of thought into it, but fortunately, he has carefully studied the "Complete Book of Heavenly General Evolution" before, and he has a little experience in the matter of marching and arranging military aircraft.

First of all, he started with the officer corps of the team and conducted a preliminary survey of his subordinates.

It's a pity that after a round of trials, the results are not very optimistic.

In the officer corps of the Fen Yong Army, except for the fact that he was the top master of the Transformation Strength Realm, the two lieutenant generals were only at the middle stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, and these two were still regarded as being assigned to this Fen Brave Army because they had offended their superior generals elsewhere.

The commanders, captains, and military captains who went down were just warriors in the realm of forging bones, and it was said that there were 50,000 male divisions. In fact, there are only less than a thousand soldiers who have really entered the realm of forging bones, and how can such a team become a strong force with such a weak core combat power?

However, with Lu Zhan's temperament, he did not feel discouraged, in fact, this result was also expected by him. The generals of this newly formed "Brave Army" were all temporarily drawn from the barracks of the major military leaders under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Prince. And what are the faces of those military leaders of the Eight Princes and the First Party, I have already seen it when I was discussing in the study of Prince Ying's mansion,

Sent from the guys who were in the position of corpses. Most of them are the old, weak, sick and disabled in some of the army. Today's situation in the army can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

Lu Zhan didn't care either, and began to follow the various military knowledge he learned from the "Complete Book of Heavenly General Evolution". Straighten out this force that belongs to him.

In the following time, Lu Zhan devoted all his energy to the training of the "Brave Army".

Just a month after LΓΌ Zhan was fully training the "Brave Army", the Eighth Prince also made preparations for attacking the fortress of Toyoyama Island, which was rebelling against the army.

With the order of the emperor's commander, all the armies marched towards Jinliang Lake in Hengzhou, but the "floating fairy island" was still hanging on the outskirts of the capital, and did not move a bit, and people speculated that this flying island was a relic of a long time ago, and it was not so easy to control, so it did not participate in the battle of this conquest.

Hengzhou Jinliang Lake is only 8,000 miles away from the capital of Chu. The road is not too far, and there is a huge anti-army nest here, which is indeed an unbelievable thing for the Great Chu Imperial Court.

The largest lake in Hengzhou is Jinliang Lake, with an area of 48,000 hectares. There are more than 300 islands in the lake like pearls, and the largest island in the middle of the lake is called Fengshan Island, which is the headquarters of the 36th Route Anti-Army Alliance, where the leader of the Anti-Thieves Alliance, the Generalissimo of Tiangong, is stationed on this island fortress all year round.

On August 18 of that year, the leaders of the 36th Route Rebel Army gathered on Fengshan Island to discuss with the Generalissimo Tiangong to unite the barbarian empire to attack Hongzhou and Hengzhou. A battle plan that swept across the empire. ...,

And since the Eight Princes and their party won a great victory in the battle for the Floating Immortal Island and completely mastered the relics of this Immortal Family, the Four Princes realized that their situation was already precarious, and they were completely at a disadvantage in the decisive battle for imperial power. In order to win back the game, he secretly sent a request for help to the Generalissimo of Tiangong, whom he had been sponsoring, asking him to unite the barbarians to attack several important towns in the states of the Great Chu Empire, so as to distract the attention of the Eighth Emperor and further drain the strength of his command, so that his side could gain time to launch a thunderous blow.

The four princes don't mind how many innocent people will be killed by this attack of the anti-army alliance, for him, the struggle for the throne has always been the most important thing, even if it colludes with bandits and thieves, even if it harms all the people in the world.

In the Thirty-six Route Anti-Army Alliance that year, because the Ghost Face Cliff, which ranked the last among them, had been eliminated, there were actually thirty-five rebels left in the alliance.

The news that the Eighth Prince had once again mobilized a large army to attack Fengshan Island had already reached the ears of the Generalissimo of Tiangong, and he was indeed nervous for a while at first. After all, the Great Chu Empire had just obtained the legendary invincible Floating Immortal Island, and I was afraid that it would use this militaristic weapon to deal with its own group of rebels.

But when he heard the news that the "Floating Immortal Island" anchored in the sky on the outskirts of Beijing was not accompanied by the conquest army, he was greatly relieved.

What he is most afraid of is the "Floating Immortal Island", as for the people and horses that the empire came to conquest, it was just a group of wine bags and rice bags, and there was no need to worry about it at all.

In fact, the Generalissimo of Tiangong even hoped that the expeditionary army launched by the Eighth Prince this time would come to the fortress of Fengshan Island in the center of Jinliang Lake to fight it out.

First, this is where their base camp is located, and the surrounding terrain is conducive to the deployment of the anti-army layout, and secondly, the steel fortress on Fengshan Island, which he has painstakingly built for many years, has finally been officially completed recently, just so that those rabbit cubs of the official army can taste the power of this complete version of the steel fortress, which can be regarded as a good start for the anti-army alliance, and can also cooperate with their next battle to sweep the entire territory of the empire.

At this moment, the colorful flags fluttering on the fortress of Fengshan Island, wearing red and hanging green, and the drums are ringing in unison, which is very noisy and lively. The leaders of this anti-army alliance came from all over and swept through the states with the generalissimo of the Heavenly Prince. Even the "feat" of attacking the capital city of Chu.

The fortress of Fengshan Island is a nest of thieves who have painstakingly operated for more than 30 years, and this island is located in the center of Jinliang Lake, and it is also the largest island in the lake. The island is surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and a magnificent and majestic steel fortress is built on a hundred feet high slope.

The walls of the fortress were made up of large pieces of fine steel weighing more than a thousand catties, and the usual siege weapons did not have much effect on them. And the waters around Toyoyama Island are filled with large and small ironclad warships. There are hundreds of them.

It seems that the generalissimo Tiangong, the leader of the anti-army alliance, has bet all his net worth on this Jinliang Lake and Fengshan Island fortress, and has built it into a solid foundation. Otherwise, the previous several large-scale conquest campaigns of the imperial army would not have ended in failure.

At this time, it was in the "Xiongju Hall", the spacious and majestic main building in the fortress of Toyoyama Island.

As the leader of the Thirty Routes Anti-Army Alliance, the Generalissimo of Tiangong Judging from his appearance. It's not tall and mighty, and the figure is even very thin, just that huge head. But it's a bit ridiculously big.

At this moment, he sat proudly on a tall throne covered with the entire fur of a thick beast-level iron-toothed grizzly bear, his eyes closed, and his big head shook like a rattle. ...,

Behind him, there is a five-year-old who is grinning and pinching his shoulders and beating his back.

In the rows of Taishi chairs below him, there were dozens of rebel leaders of different appearances, including a female bandit who looked like a dominatrix.

These characters. It was most of the leaders of the Thirty-Five Anti-Thieves Alliance, and the rest of the other people were leading the various teams of the anti-army, nervously arranging defenses and ambushes around Jinliang Lake, in preparation to meet the army that the Empire had come to conquer.

Not far from the seat of the Generalissimo of Tiangong, stood a man wearing a blue silk gown. Describing the obscene little old man, the old man in the blue shirt was nodding and said to the Generalissimo of the Heavenly Prince: "Although the marshal can rest assured, His Royal Highness of my family said that as long as the generalissimo will contain the main combat strength of the Eighth Prince's army for him this time, it is best to delay it for a longer time." After that, once the Four Highnesses have achieved great deeds and ascended the throne. You will be appointed as the new national teacher and further control over the financial power of the empire. And the leaders of these rebels under your command are all rewarded by high-ranking officials and nobles, and even if you want to break the territory and seal the territory. ”

The Generalissimo of Tiangong closed his eyes and was enjoying the sweet pleasure brought by the strong massage of the, he just muffled "um" in his mouth in response, but secretly sneered in his heart: "Who is rare about the position of the national teacher promised by your four princes." This emperor's throne should be sat by the strong - so it is better to let the handsome man sit on it more securely. ”

At this time, a bald man sitting on the chairs of the anti-army heroes on both sides raised his voice and asked the old man in the blue shirt: "Hey, let me ask you." I heard that the Bird Imperial Court has recently obtained a very powerful immortal magic weapon in ancient legends, what is it called 'Floating Immortal Island'. What kind of weapon is this, and it's really powerful, isn't it? And this floating island will really fly in the sky?"

The blue-shirted old man nodded and replied: "That floating immortal island can indeed fly in the sky, but no one has seen its specific power. It's just that my Great Chu Empire spent a lot of effort this time, sacrificing ten top masters of the Transformation Strength Realm to get such a flying island, if it has no power, then wouldn't my imperial court make a big joke and be laughed at by the world. ”

The female bandit, who looked very much like a dominatrix, asked in a thick voice: "Since your bird court has obtained such a legendary invincible weapon, then why don't you bring it here, it is a mule and a horse, so that everyone can see it?"

Several other bandit leaders nodded their heads in agreement, "Yes, why don't you drive that flying floating island over? Lao Tzu has grown so big, only to see an island in the lake and the sea." I've never seen an island that flies in the air. ”

"Seeing your size, haven't you heard that the power of that fairy island is terrifying? I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will be destroyed by some powerful means on the island before you can see the appearance of the flying island. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
