Menju Pass is the southern gateway to the border city and county, and its strategic position is very important and cannot be lost.

Similarly, for Lu Ding, who is interested in unifying the west and leaving no legacy in the rear, the door must also be in his hands.

When the strategic center of gravity shifted to the south and sufficient food resources were not prepared, he could not send troops to the north at will, so Lü Ding chose to use a more covert way to control the door.

For example, he promised the county officials of Menju County to quietly aid food, and he also bribed officers at all levels of Menju Pass with heavy money, and planted secret sons.

On the surface, the door sentence that is controlled by the Ning family and the Wang family has already been infiltrated by the Lu family's forces.

Jiao Tu's thunderous tactics in Menju County did not make Zhou Bai feel that he was too cruel and bloody, but instead issued a summons to reward him for overseeing the affairs of the southern border city and county.

Because Zhou Bai gave these generals who led the army independently, he privately promised the right to act cheaply, and Jiao Tu was just obeying military orders and completing the mission objectives.

According to the battle report, if the combat strength of the Anbei Army exceeded the expectations of the defenders of the door, and the raid was successful, they might really have to defend the city and delay it for some time.

The infiltration is too serious, and if they don't slaughter a few families, they really think that the Anbei Army is a benevolent savior.

Rather than waiting for the dust to settle and then purging it, it is better to start it in wartime.

On the first day of arriving in Longbei City, the Anbei Army launched a military attack, but the first battle was not aimed at Longbei City, but at the warship base.

The location of the base is very suitable, it is located in a wide high ground ten miles from Xicheng, which is the most suitable area for camping, and it is easy to build base fortifications.

For this reason, Zhou Bai can be regarded as seeing that the first soldier-class warship that can completely establish a development base is a condescending circular fortress from a distance.

The outer walls were made of special solidified materials carried by warships, and the clay walls were hardened, so that the walls built in a short period of time were actually stronger than the walls of ordinary county towns.

This kind of solidification Zhou Bai has a seized part, which is nothing more than cement, and it is not a high-tech product.

After finding the limestone containing clay, the cement process has now been completely mastered by the Tiangong Institute, and cement will be used in many Tuntian cities to be built on the Baishazhou Plain.

The barracks, residential areas, material areas, production areas, and the core area is the hull of the warship, and a small development base is well planned.

If it weren't for the fact that the city wall and many buildings inside had traces of several teardowns and reconstructions, Zhou Bai doubted whether Longbei City was sitting back and watching the rise of the base.

"Governor, the soldiers and horses in this city are really wasteful, and a soldier-class battleship is really standing."

"If a general-class battleship landed in the border city, wouldn't it have completely fallen by now?"

When several generals saw such a complete extraterritorial base, they were inevitably a little angry, and they kept mocking Longbei City.

"Longbei City does not have the breath of Yin God power." Li Yuan appeared on the side at some point and explained in a low voice.

Zhou Bai glanced at Li Yuan and agreed with this information: "When you first enter the Yin God Realm, you are indeed more sensitive to the power of the same level, and there is really no real person from the Three Realms in this Longbei City. ”

The entourage, hearing Zhou Bai say this, his expression was shocked, and he still didn't understand what was going on.

They all greeted each other and congratulated: "I have seen Li Zhenren, congratulations to Zhenren for breaking through the realm!" ”

The gold content of a real person, even in today's era of aura recovery, is very high, not to mention that Li Yuan is the first real person cultivated by Zhou Bai.

"All my colleagues are happy, thanks to the cultivation of the Governor and the Governor's Office." Li Yuan had a keen mind and was not overjoyed.

"Just broke through and came over?" Zhou Bai casually popped out a bottle of Guyuan Elixir as a congratulatory gift.

But that's all, from a public family, he won't make a big deal about it and hold a real ceremony.

Under Zhou Bai, the monks also had corresponding privileges and status, but they were also subject to many restrictions.

If the current Li Yuan and Chen Zhongbang want to compete for their status in Zhou Bai's heart, it must be Chen Zhongbang higher.

Of course, Li Yuan will definitely not be so uninteresting, he vaguely understands what kind of country Zhou Bai wants to establish, that is, the legal net is ruthless.

It may be a bit paranoid, but the tendency to bring all the transcendent under the jurisdiction of the royal law is evident in the Governor's Palace.

"Thank you for the Governor's reward, Madame is sitting in the Governor's Mansion, she and Chen Changshi are afraid that you will bring a little few people, so they specially sent me to serve in front of the army." Li Yuan took the elixir, his eyes flashed with joy, and he replied respectfully.

The spiritual objects rewarded by the Governor are all treasures, either from the secret treasures of the Cave Heaven or from the Heavenly Court.

Li Yuan called Mrs. Yu Yueyun, Zhou Bai did not refute, he, a young plum Taoist couple, has been sitting in the rear for a long time to maintain internal stability, and has been unanimously recognized by the system.

Even if he is a general in the army like Gao Hu, when he mentions Yu Yueyun, he has to call his mother in private to show respect.

Then Li Yuan presented another file, which was the situation of the cultivation world in Border City County sorted out by Yu Yueyun according to the records of the Wudingmen file.

It turns out that the border city county has been an extraordinary desert from beginning to end, with a very low aura content, not only has there been no cultivation sect, but there are even very few records of real people.

The Daxu Imperial Court usually requires that there be real people in each administrative county, but there are no real people willing to come to the aura situation in the border counties.

When the imperial court is strong, it can still forcibly assign real people, but in recent decades, the highest-ranking Taoist official of the county town Taoist group is the peak of the second realm.

"It's no wonder that even a soldier-level general has to rely on water grinding, it turns out that it is not only because of famine, but also because of the lack of high-level combat power." Zhou Bai said thoughtfully.

However, he also understands that a Yin God combat power cannot save the overall situation, and if the base is not destroyed, it must be that Longbei City has not gone all out.

Under the detection of divine sense, the aura of the third-order Great Nian Master inside the warship was like a candle flame that was about to burn out at any time, and it had reached its final limit.

"Destroy these outsiders first, and this city will be our big camp." Zhou Bai waved his hand and motioned for Lou Jinpeng to command the siege.

Even if the siege equipment was not assembled and the attack was hastily promoted, the next battle was still one-sided.

The warship base, which has been almost worn out by Longbei City, naturally can't resist the suppression of the Anbei Army, and the captain of the Da Nian Division has only achieved the prestige of the new real person Li Yuan.

A little episode, that is, this battleship is actually a famous soldier-class battleship, the main gun is repaired in advance to a state that can be fired, and it has the ability to self-detonate and self-destruct.

However, Zhou Bai, who paid attention to the battle situation throughout the whole process, eliminated the danger of self-explosion in advance, and even the beam of the main gun was forcibly deflected by him, pouring power into the air.

Unlike the other shots, this time Zhou Bai's power in the Three Realms could no longer be hidden.

At the head of Longbei City, several forces in Ningwang were silent for a long time.

"When did this person come to the Three Realms and actually resist the main guns of warships? Celestial beings are so powerful? ”

"Even if the three first-class ones who flew to the Heavenly Court, entering the realm is not so exaggerated."

Even the scheming county lord was so frightened that he couldn't speak at this time.

Jun Cheng Zhu Weng said coldly: "Two statues and three realms, you can think about it, the county government Taoist group plus your offerings are not enough for them to fight." ”

He was a staunch Lord, believing that the land of the border city should not continue to die.

"There are no three realms in the Qingxu warship? The aura has been revived, and the suppression of the supernatural power by the military qi has become stronger. Soon, one of the generals retorted.

"In addition to the border army, let's just say that the county soldiers can still gather some military spirit? The three exercises in January are no longer at the level of an army of economic control. Another Wenchen picked up the conversation.

"While its foothold is not stable, it is better to send troops ......"

Even if the Anbei Army was in front of them, they were still arguing.

Half an hour later, Gao Hu had already led two thousand demon troops to provoke in Longbei City, but the city still did not make the decision to surrender.

"There are no reinforcements in Longbei City, and the remaining five counties have all become the territory of the Anbei Governor's Office."

"The Metropolitan Governor of Anbei has an order, and the surrender will be treated favorably within three days, and those who want to take refuge in Lu Ding's adherence will be the Wu and Gu families!"

The loudspeaker of the demon army rode to the city within range, shouting non-stop.

Not only that, but then hundreds of well-fed and well-fed villagers shouted: "Border city boys, don't resist anymore, there is no famine under the governor of Anbei, look how well the people of Bei'an are doing." The family has distributed food seeds, and I need you to go home and help......"

All kinds of shouting offensives directly shook the hearts of the people in the whole city, and rumors spread in the army.

"The other three counties don't know the situation, but Menju County has really lost it." Wang Yi, the head of the Wang family, turned pale and sent away a Taoist official who had just left.

It turned out to be the Anbei Provincial official of the Gate, and he used the array set up by the Wang family to contact them.

"How about the rest of the border army." Ning Cheng frowned and asked his generals.

The general immediately bowed down and responded: "In the past few days since I came back, I have been served by big fish and meat, and the sons and daughters are very energetic." ”

When it came to the border army, the eyes of several county tycoons lit up, and their spirits were obviously much more uplifted.

"The newly formed Longwei Army of the imperial court has suppressed several anti-kings, and its backbone core is the border army."

"The warlords have forgotten the prestige of the border army, and they are not miscellaneous soldiers who are negligent in combat preparation."

Ning Cheng and Wang Yi listened to everyone's discussion, glanced at each other, and nodded in tacit understanding.

After all, the border city county belongs to Dingxi, and it has long been intimidated by the prestige of the Lu family, and now it is a little unwilling to take refuge in the forces that have risen in the same corner.

"No matter what, we have to weigh the strength of the Anbei Army...... Longbei Jiancheng, just harvested the summer harvest of grain, but it is not just to give. ”

On the afternoon of 26 August, most of the damaged warship base had not yet been repaired, and the Anbei Army camp was unstable.

However, the two thousand demon army went out of Longbei City and took the initiative to provoke.

Longbei City sent 5,000 border troops, with a strength advantage of more than 2 to 1, to meet the demon army.

Another 10,000 county soldiers lined up behind him as a countermeasure to prevent Zhou Bai from sending reinforcements again.

On the high ground a few miles away, the generals accompanied Zhou Bai to watch the battle from afar, and saw the 2,000 Xuanjia army formation, which looked very thin in front of the 5,000 border army and the rear county army formation.

In this case, even the Anbei generals who have won a hundred battles can't help but feel apprehensive at this time.

"Governor, isn't 2,000 too many, if the 10,000 county soldiers join in halfway, something may happen." The first guard general was quite anxious.

Zhou Bai shook his head and was silent, after the Demon Army broke away from the Governor's Mansion and was directly under the control of the General's Mansion, many generals of the Fu Demon Army had little contact with the Demon Army.

Lou Jinpeng explained in a timely manner: "The meaning of the governor is to win more with less, show absolute strength, and let those wall grasses in the city recognize the gap." ”

But then, he said respectfully to Zhou Bai: "But all battles must be prepared, no matter how much confidence the governor has in the demon army, he must also be prepared for defeat." ”

"The battalion has its own militia to repair, please give the order of the governor, gather the remaining cavalry, and send another 5,000 troops to plunder the formation."

Zhou Bai looked at the other side of Longbei City, where nearly two thousand enemy horsemen were lurking, and it would not take a quarter of an hour to join the battlefield.

If the Demon Army is in a slight decline, how can these two thousand horsemen be imagined.

This is the border city county separated from the grassland by the Great Wall, and there has never been a shortage of war horses, and there has never been a shortage of good riders in the county.

Although the Anbei Army has never stopped building cavalry, there has never been a substantial expansion of its scale.

Chu Kai took 2,000 to cruise in three counties, and now the whole army of sentinels and cavalry is combined, and there are only 500 horsemen left.

"General Lou is reasonable, then you will personally lead 5,000 troops and 500 cavalry to sweep the formation, and you can decide whether to fight or retreat."

……

This fight really showed the strength of the border army, they cooperated tacitly, and everyone was a veteran of the battlefield.

Words such as strict military discipline, well-trained, brave and fearless, and other strong troops can be used to describe these 5,000 border troops.

Even in terms of battlefield experience, these two thousand demon armies are slightly inferior, and in autumn and winter, these border armies even have to deal with attacks from the north every day.

In the previous Jin invasion war, the focus was on breaking through the border cities and counties, but it was unsuccessful.

The convergence of wind and clouds, the hot blood and heat waves, made the surface like a frying pan, and the border soldiers who appeared on the battlefield were all sweating.

But they didn't complain, just exhilarated and bloodthirsty fanaticism, and they could feel the silent oppression coming from the Xuanjia army on the other side.

Excitement, in addition to excitement, is to win, defeat the strong army, this is the favorite thing of the border army.

A trace of black military qi emerged from the top of each soldier's head, and then converged in the sky, faintly forming a sharp long knife, full of might.

An exclamation sounded at the head of Longbei City, and it was the first time they had seen the form of the border army's condensed military spirit.

Some generals of Longbei City have even begun to celebrate in advance, how can a border army full of strong desire to win lose if it has the advantage of troops.

Sure enough, the border army, which thought it was superior, took the initiative to advance, and the sound of neat steps shook the earth.

The illusory shadow of the soldier's long knife was almost all on the neck of everyone in the Demon Army.

However, when the first wave of collisions followed, the head of Longbei City was suddenly silent.

The fiery red wave, which was as high as seventy percent in armor, took a long knife and rushed into the "thin" black human wall, but did not crack a single gap.

In the first wave of active impact, the array of the Xuanjia Army was not turbulent, but the border army was hit by a bloody head.

The border soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time are stunned, all the divine power, all the martial arts?

Hundreds of border soldiers were beaten away for the first time, and they were really flying, and the first row of the Demon Army was all in the acquired realm, holding a hammer and bursting out of strength.

Then Gao Hu crossed the spear, and rushed out on a white horse, and the unrivaled spear smashed the blood of the frontier forward.

"The teams obey the order, and the front is out of line!"

The counteroffensive begins.

The Pixiu phantom suddenly appeared, unreasonably piercing the fragile military qi long knife.

The two thousand volcanic demons rose silently, moving like thunder, following behind Gao Hu, killing through the entire border army formation.

"Stop thinking about choosing the ...... to the south"

"Cast it."

"The autumn is high and the horses are fat, the captives will come again, and if they continue to fight, the Great Wall will be guarded."
