On June 12, Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi finished sorting out the affairs of the demon spirit clan and returned to Hongyan City.

......

Before entering the city, I had already seen the loud training sound of the Gentian Battalion in the north of the city, and after a few months of rest, the edge of the Gentian Battalion was recast again, and now all that everyone was thinking about was revenge and attack.

Wei Qiu led the iron cavalry out of the city: "Lin Shuai, you are finally back, and the lunch prepared for you and the Lord of Xi County is ready." ”

Lin Muyu looked at the sun and said, "It's already afternoon, send lunch to the council hall, and order all the senior generals to enter the council hall and prepare the map." ”

"Yes!"

After entering the Shuai Mansion, Qin Yin, Chu Yao, and Sikong Yao also came, welcoming Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi into the conference hall, and it didn't take long for Situ Sen, Feng Xi, Feng Zhan Lin and others to come.

Lin Muyu held the bowl, a large bowl of rice was covered with slices of meat and green peppers, slashed a few bites in front of everyone, finished eating as quickly as possible, put down the bowl and said, "The meeting begins!"

The crowd stood up, saluted, and sat down again.

The big map was spread on the carpet in the center of the council hall, Lin Muyu stepped on the map and walked to the location of Hongyan Province, and said: "Chen Yu has personally led the 200,000 Heavenly Absolute Legion into Huoyuan Province, and it should arrive in Huoyuan City in the afternoon, so that the pressure on the wind and the shallow wind will suddenly increase, and we are two thousand miles away from Huoyuan Province, and we can't reinforce it, but we must not watch from the sidelines." ”

Situ Sen said in a low voice: "My lord, give the order, I will be ready to attack at any time!"

"There is no hurry, we must take it step by step. ”

Lin Muyu took a few steps forward, stepped out of the border of Hongyan Province, stepped on the territory of the Heavenly Absolute Empire, and said, "Wei Qiu, in this position, how many defenders of the Heavenly Absolute Empire are there outside the Fire Wolf Pass?"

Wei Qiu said respectfully: "Qi Yu Lin Shuai, outside the Fire Wolf Pass is the territory of the Heavenly Absolute Empire, the city that is directly opposite is called Jicheng, this city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and their deputy commander Song Liangcheng personally led the 180,000 Southern Patrol Corps to defend it, half of the Southern Patrol Corps is Song Liangcheng's original headquarters, and the rest are drawn from the garrisons of the four major provinces in the south of the Heavenly Absolute Empire, and the combat power is lacking, and most of them are recruits, so there is nothing to fear. ”

"Song Liangcheng's legion?"

A trace of murderous intent flashed across Lin Muyu's face, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Four months ago, Song Liang's subordinates who ambushed us outside Hongyan City were all incorporated into this Southern Patrol Legion, right?"

"Yes, Marshal, all there. ”

Wei Qiu frowned and said: "But we still can't despise Song Liangcheng's 180,000 horses, because their geographical advantage is too great, if we go out of the Fire Wolf Pass, if we want to reach Jicheng, we must cross a Qinglan River, the Qinglan River is turbulent, and the narrowest place is at least fifty meters wide, and the bridge leading to Jicheng has been demolished by Song Liangcheng a month ago." ”

Lin Muyu looked at the map and said, "It's okay, there are jungles everywhere along the way, order the soldiers to cut down trees along the way, and directly build a pontoon bridge when they arrive at the Qinglan River." ”

"Well, although this problem has been solved, the city of Jicheng is very strong, and there are mountains and mountains on both sides that cannot be detoured, and Song Liangcheng has 180,000 troops to defend the city, and our magic crystal cannons are extremely short of them, and it is difficult to break through. ”

Wei Qiu pointed to the map and said: "The most important thing is that less than eight hundred miles away from Jicheng is the Burning Cold City, Zhou Binlong led 200,000 Earth Absolute Corps to watch the Burning Cold City, once we attack Jicheng, Zhou Binlong's cavalry can be reinforced in three days." ”

Lin Muyu took a deep breath and asked, "How many people do we have in Hongyan Province now?"

Situ Sen clenched his fists and said: "Qi Qi Lin Shuai, in addition to the disabled soldiers, the Gentian Battalion has 150,000 elite troops, and the Bai Ze mercenaries have 110,000 troops available, in addition, plus the garrisons collected along the way, there are about 70,000 people, oh and, three days ago, the 30,000 armor demon troops sent by Marshal Qianfeng from Xishan Province have also arrived, and they are ready to be dispatched by the marshal at any time!"

"Oh?"

Lin Muyu smiled slightly: "When did that guy in Qianfeng be so generous, he actually dispatched 30,000 armor demons for me to use, it's really strange." ”

Situ Sen lowered his voice: "Actually, it was Qianfeng who couldn't afford to raise it, so he threw these 30,000 armor demons directly to us to eat our grain, and in less than three days, these 30,000 armor demons ate our cattle and sheep in a pasture!"

Tang Xiaoxi, Qin Yin and the others all laughed, and the tense atmosphere eased a little.

Lin Muyu groaned and said: "Originally, the chances of winning the soldiers and horses in our headquarters were eighty percent, but now Qianfeng will give me another 30,000 armor demons, and our odds of winning are ten percent, pass the order, dispatch all the troops of the Gentian Battalion and Bai Ze mercenaries, plus 30,000 armor demons, Wei Qiu is the vanguard, Situ Sen is the left army, Situ Xue is the right army, and after Sikong Yao's palace, I will personally lead the Chinese army, and tomorrow I will march eastward, go out of the Fire Wolf Pass, and attack Jicheng! Appoint Liu Buyi as the logistics officer, we must solve the needs of military rations along the way, if it can't be solved, come and see you!"

"Yes!"

Everyone saluted in unison, united as one.

......

Three days later, a total of 290,000 troops left the Fire Wolf Pass, and along the way, the autumn wind swept away the three camps of the Heavenly Absolute Empire like falling leaves, and directly entered the Qinglan River.

At this time, the weather was much warmer, in the rippling spring breeze, the Qinglan River had been blocked on the whole line, Song Liangcheng actually took the initiative to attack, on the other side of the Qinglan River to set up defenses, heavy shields were lined up, archers were everywhere, and the war was about to break out.

Lin Muyu ordered to set up camp five miles away from the Qinglan River and dig the ground to get water.

Most of the water in the Qinglan River is no longer drinkable, and countless fish have died on the first day, Song Liangcheng is really ruthless, and he has already poisoned the river water.

In the camp on the east coast, Song Liangcheng, who was the deputy marshal of the Heavenly Absolute Empire, was wearing a general robe with four gold stars, fidgeting in front of the sand table, his eyes flickering, he knew that Lin Muyu's march seemed to be advancing slowly, and in fact he could feel Lin Muyu's suppressed murderous aura, this army came with the flame of revenge, and the hatred of shooting Xu Jiantao on the mountain at the beginning, Lin Muyu would not forget, and the Great Qin Empire would never forget.

"Lieutenant?"

A staff officer said respectfully: "We have poured poison into the upper reaches of the Qinglan River late last night, which can force the enemy army to drink without taking water, and the 50,000 troops have almost defended the gentle area of the Qinglan River, the Qinglan River is an inland river, Lin Muyu's warships can't get here, they have nothing to do." ”

"Really?" Song Liangcheng glanced at him lightly and said, "Your Majesty can leave me a message before leaving!"

"Yes, Your Majesty has left a tip for the general. ”

"Oh, bring it. ”

"Yes!"

took the bag from the staff officer, there was a page inside, Song Liangcheng glanced at it, it was indeed Chen Yu's handwriting, a short line of words: "Defend the city, don't attack, wait for help!"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Song Liang said.

"Your Majesty's clever plan must have a deep meaning. The staff officer groaned and said, "Your Majesty led the guards to the eastern fertile area half a month ago, does the deputy marshal know what kind of ethnic group it is?"

"There...... Isn't it a barren place?"

"No, there is a group of anomalies living there, a group of anomalies who are good at night fighting. ”

"You mean...... Song Liangcheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Could it be that Your Majesty has reached an agreement with the rat people?

"Yes, at least that's what I think, otherwise, with Your Majesty's shrewdness, how could it be possible to attack Huo Yuanxing without guarding the southern border?"

"The rat people are despicable and shameless, have you forgotten that these rat people eat people!"

"Yes, a few days ago, there was news that the rat people were eating people in the eastern states and counties, but the news was all suppressed by the government, and they were speculating on themselves, this may be what Your Majesty meant?"

"Presumptuous!" Song Liangcheng's eyes were cold: "Your Majesty, is that kind of person in your mouth?" he will never ...... The flesh and blood of the people would never be exchanged for reinforcements from the nezumi. ”

The staff officer smiled, no longer cared about this, and just said: "Your Majesty ordered to defend Jicheng to the death, and the deputy marshal still wants to fight the Qin thief in the Qinglan River?"

"The Qinglan River is also the scope of Jecheng, and it can be delayed for a moment. ”

Song Liangcheng said lightly: "I'm just a little worried......"

"What are you worried about? Qin Thief's two Mahayana Heavenly Dao gods?"

"That's right. Song Liangcheng said in a deep voice: "Pass the order and raise the establishment of the Guards Battalion from 2,000 to 8,000." ”

"Yes!"

......

In the western jungle of the Qinglan River, the king's flag is displayed, and the iron horses come and go endlessly.

Inside the tent, a small scout bee rests on a teacup.

"Nezumi ......"

Lin Muyu frowned and pondered for a long time, and asked, "Lulu, do you think the rat man's abnormal behavior is artificial?"

"Yes, brother. In the laser imaging, Lulu's delicate body fluttered and said: "Each group has its own survival rules, the rat people have always been diurnal creatures, they are good at digging crypts, rabbits, wolves, Cattle and sheep are food, but over the years, the rat people have become larger and larger, and the number of reproduction has also increased, which has exceeded the needs of their own biological chain, and the rat people have not enough food, so they choose to eat people, and they began to march westward, the number is about 100,000 or more, I guess, maybe they were bewitched, and the target was directly aimed at the elder brother's army. ”

"Do nezumi burrow deeply?"

"Brother, don't worry, their cave is not deep enough to bypass the Qinglan River, but once you cross the river, you will enter the attack range of the rat people. ”

No wonder Song Liangcheng dared to be so fearless. ”

Lin Muyu clasped his arms into fists and said, "What are the rat people afraid of?"

"The blood and body fluids of the rat man contain flammable ingredients, as long as my brother attacks with fire, he can naturally easily defeat the rat man, but ...... The elder brother also has to beware of attacks from the ground by the nezumi, their teeth are very sharp, they can bite through iron armor, and once they bite it, they will not let go, and they have to drag a large piece of meat. ”

"Got it, thank you, Lulu, and let me know if there's any new development. ”

"Hmm. ”

Lulu's body slowly vanished.

Lin Muyu looked outside the big tent and said, "Come on, let Wei Qiu, Sikong Yao, Situ Sen and Fengxi come over!"
