Chapter 713: A Million Heroes (3)
Shang He and Li Huai'an returned to Luodu, rectified the forces of the Sun Tribe, and refined the magic weapon of Silver Feather to avoid the wind; Yan Yunting and Yuwen Changqing stayed at the border of the Barbarian Domain, responsible for carrying Tianchi water and dragon crystals, as well as taming ancient monitor lizards and other related matters.
Twenty days later, the 200,000 barbarians of the Sun Tribe were the first to arrive at the barbarian border. Over the next 10 days, other tribes were also gathering on the border.
Since the issuance of the barbarian conscription order, the Nu tribe has also responded positively, and as Yuwen Changqing expected, nearly 250,000 people have enthusiastically signed up.
The barbarians are a natural fighting nation, and this battle is for revenge, and all the barbarians are gearing up and can't wait.
According to the previously established plan of march, 300,000 air forces went first, followed by the main force of a million army forces.
At the speed at which the two armies were advancing, if nothing else, the air force would be able to reach the Huaxu border in a month, while the army would be much slower, at least two months. Crossing 100,000 miles of ice fields in two months is actually not slow.
Yan Yunting, Li Huai'an, Yuwen Changqing, as well as the great general of the Flying Eagle Tribe, Konka, the great wizard of the Teng Snake Tribe, Cherdan, and the great wizard of the Black Lizard Tribe, a total of six people served as the backbone of the advance force. Shang He served as the supreme commander of the army.
Li Huai'an used silver feathers to refine ten "Silver Snow Orders", two for the air force and eight for the army forces, which were controlled by the major wizards.
Everything is ready to go.
The eagle spreads its wings, the snow leopard gallops, the sun shines forever, and the wolf roarsβ
In the sound of earth-shattering drums, in the gusts of wind and snow, millions of heroes went to Huaxu!
β¦β¦
100,000 miles of wind and snow, even if there is a magic weapon to avoid, it is still difficult to move forward.
Yan Yunting stood at the bow of the boat, overlooking the million-strong master, and did not have much pride. Those who look at the bigger picture know that this war may kill many, many people.
Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times?
How many people will bury their bodies in the ice field, and how many will return to their hometowns?
But there is definitely a feeling, it is thick and naked. This kind of family and country feeling is difficult to feel in the fairy realm, only the human world and the barbarian realm will gather millions of warriors because of the common belief.
A month later.
"Whew!"
Yan Yunting slashed a wind beast with a sword aura.
Along the way, the advance force has cleaned up no less than 100 wind beasts, but the effect is minimal, and the wind and snow are still cold, covering the sky and the sun.
The wind and snow were so cruel that in the past month, all the soldiers have been darkened and aged by more than ten years.
"After another three hundred miles, we will enter the Huaxu border, pass the order, and the whole army will slow down and pull up to the clouds!" Yuwen Changqing gave orders.
300,000 air cavalry climbed with the pace of the immortal ship.
Yuwen Changqing summoned all the generals to the cabin to discuss the battle plan.
In the past month, after the intelligence of the scouts, Yuwen Changqing has reproduced the Huaxu battle situation into a sand table, and the mountains, rivers, jungles, and market towns are all clearly marked.
"The sand table I painted, two thousand miles horizontally and eight thousand miles deep, is obviously only partial;" Yuwen Changqing pointed to the sand table and analyzed:
"Although we are now close to the Huaxu border, due to the continuous retreat of the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, this place has almost become part of the ice field, and it is conservatively estimated that it is possible to see living people at least five thousand miles further - that is, five thousand miles east from our position, this area is the territory of the undead;
In this way, the generals in charge of managing the reconnaissance units must pay special attention to the courage and carefulness of the air fighters, because the enemy's position and strength are not yet clear, and we must not expose the target;
Moreover, the most important point is that we are the advance force, and we should focus on surprise attacks, and large-scale decisive battles must at least wait until the main force of the army arrives before making considerations, so all the generals who lead the army remember that before the main force meets us, do not go up, lest you fall into the trick of luring the enemy;
There are thirty-seven market towns on the border of the barbarian region, and according to my analysis and observation, three of them are in excellent locations. The first is the 'Sanxingji' backed by the mountains, the second is the 'Blue Sand Collection' in the middle, and the third is the 'Egret Collection' at the southernmost end;
Three market towns, three points and one line, more than 6,000 miles in depth, with the support speed of the Eagle Tribe, the fastest two hours to arrive, therefore, General Conca, you lead the main army of 150,000, be sure to take the middle section of the 'Blue Sand Collection', the remaining 150,000, the two great wizards and the two generals of the Sun Clan lead 100,000 to the 'Sanxingji', and I and Brother Yan and Li Daochang, take 50,000 to take the 'Egret Collection';
After the three market towns have been recovered, we will not advance, but should immediately repair the defenses, pull up the defensive line, reorganize the armament, and wait for the arrival of the main force before proceeding to the next step of the strategy. β
"Harm! After drinking ice and snow for a month, our soldiers have already had itchy hands, okay! I'm going to call on the warriors of the Eagle Tribe to take down that blue sand set! Conca patted his chest and said heroically.
Yuwen Changqing greeted with a smile: "General, don't worry, what I just said is just the grand strategic direction, and we are still not sure if there are any undead legions in these three market towns, and if so, how many and how to defend...... The Art of War: Know yourself and your opponent, and win all battles. It's not too late to wait for the scouts to bring back the information before formulating a specific battle plan. β
Conca waved his hand: "Hey...... What a hassle! The gentleman always says something he doesn't understand! The rules are much more established, and even alcohol is not allowed to drink! If you don't drink, how can you have the strength to wield a knife? β
Yan Yunting stood on tiptoe and patted the big man's shoulder: "Don't worry, general, after winning this battle, I will accompany you to get drunk for three days and three nights!" β
"That's what you said! Don't get drunk and can't even climb into the princess's bed, hahaha......"
"Hahaha......"
It is said that Wu Xiu is a martial barbarian, but compared to these real barbarians, Wu Xiu's "bruteness" is really a big difference. The big war was imminent, and they didn't have a sense of urgency, but were extremely excited.
"Mr. Yuwen, General, the Scout is back!" Someone outside the cabin shouted at the top of their voices.
"Oh? It was only half an hour before it was sent out, and it came back, could it be that the undead were discovered? β
Everyone walked out of the cabin, and a snow eagle descended from the sky. The scouts were all sturdy slaves, and they were very anxious to see him:
"Generals, about five hundred miles to the south, I found traces of battle, and a large number of poisonous corpses died!"
"Two hundred miles south?" Yan Yunting frowned and said, "It's the direction where the Egret Collection is located." β
Yuwen Changqing asked, "Have you found a poisonous corpse in action?" β
The scout shook his head, uncertain, "From the air, they were all broken into pieces, and no living ones were found, and no one was found fighting them...... The snow and fog were too heavy, and I wasn't sure if the undead had gone far, so I didn't go down to investigate. β
Yan Yunting pursed his lips and analyzed: "With such a big snowstorm, the corpses will be buried in only a quarter of an hour or two, and they can be detected by reconnaissance, which means that the great war happened not long ago;
If no one was found fighting, but the corpse died, it means that the person who killed the corpse was very capable and was likely to be a monk, but if it was really a monk, shouldn't they be defending on the Great Wall of Ice and Snow? Why is it on the ice sheet? Is it ......?"
The more you think about it, the worse it gets!
"This matter is not trivial, Brother Yan, Daochang Li, Foyego, you are the strongest, go to the front line," Yuwen Changqing reminded again: "In this direction, the undead are likely to gather in Bailu, we must judge the situation, do not attack rashly, and if there is a situation, it will be transmitted back immediately." β
"Okay." Li Huai'an immediately threw out the flying sword, and the three of them stepped on it together, burrowing into the wind and snow and flying south.
β¦β¦
500 miles, a quarter of an hour.
"That's it."
In the white snow, the black corpse is particularly conspicuous.
Yan Yunting took out three "Hidden Yuan Pills" and took them together with Li Huai'an and Foyego, and then, vigilantly descending from the sky.
"Hmm...... There is still a residual aura around here," Li Huai'an sensed with his divine sense, "There is still a remnant of aura in such a cold wind, which means that this battle must be not small, and both sides are masters." β
Yan Yunting glanced at a piece of poisonous corpses that had been almost covered in ice and snow, "There are about three hundred poisonous corpses here, almost all of them have been cut to pieces, and many deep pits have been smashed out of the snow...... Yuan Ying up, may be Yuan Shen. β
"Did he lose, or did he win?" Grand Wizard Foyego asked.
Li Huai'an said: "The monks who should have appeared on the Great Wall of Ice and Snow suddenly appeared in the ice field, and this situation itself is not optimistic. β
"Could it be that Hua Xu's monks are counterattacking?" Foyego asked.
Li Huaian shook his head: "Impossible, if it is a counteroffensive, there will never be only a local battle, and there are more than three hundred poisonous corpses, compared to the undead army, it is really not worth mentioning." β
"Let's see if we can find his body."
"If a monk loses to the undead, most of them will be eaten to the skeleton."
"They won't eat their clothes."
"You can use my Gu beast to find it."
Foyego took a porcelain jar from his sleeve and snapped a finger at the incantation, and a purple-red lizard jumped out. Foyego ordered: "Blood." β
The purple lizard raised its head, as if sensing it, and crawled through the pile of corpses for a while, finally through the cracks of several corpses.
The three of them worked together to remove the corpse, and sure enough, a ball of blood stained red with snow, and the corner of a blood-stained shirt was pressed under the corpse, palace clothes.
Yan Yunting frowned, and picked open the corpse with a sword, it was a female cultivator who had been gnawed beyond recognition, and she was still holding two self-detonation talismans in her hands.
Li Huai'an frowned and said, "It seems that we overestimated the strength of Monk Hua Xu. β
"It's because we underestimated the strength of the undead...... Check it out at the Egret Market and you might find something. β
Yan Yunting induced a fire charm to cremate the nun's body on the spot, and then Edgeworth went deeper south.
