Chapter 372: Expedition
It was Hai Lie, the marshal of the Southern Forest Army, who came out to greet Ye Qing, who was also a strong man at the level of a martial saint, but his cultivation was worse than that of Wu Kongjing, and he was only a second-level cultivation of a martial saint. It seems that the strength is not as ruthless as the bloody hand under the eldest prince.
However, this person is the generalissimo of the Southern Forest Army personally appointed by the Holy Fire Emperor, and he is loyal to the Holy Fire Emperor. Even during the time when the Holy Flame Emperor disappeared, he didn't do anything to be sorry for the Holy Fire Empire.
Seeing Ye Qing coming, Hai Lie immediately greeted him with a smile.
"When the king of war arrived, Hai Lie was far away. I hope that the king of war will forgive his sins!"
This Hai Lie seems to have a good temper and is very proficient in dealing with people. Ye Qing knew at a glance that this was an old fox. However, Ye Qing only came to mobilize part of the army this time, and he did not need the generalissimo to go out in person.
Under the leadership of Hai Lie, Ye Qing took a look at the training of the Nanlin Army.
Although the morale of these warriors is very high, the overall strength is too poor after all, and it is not comparable to the Tianhuo Army at all. Fortunately, Ye Qing didn't expect these soldiers to surprise him much.
Ye Qing told Hai Lie that he needed to mobilize 50,000 Nanlin troops to attack Yunlun City in three days. Each of the 50,000 warriors required to be equipped with the best mount - the Golden Warhorse. This allows these fighters to be more flexible and easier to carry out their tactics.
Hae Lie agreed, and slapped his chest with a bang. Hai Lie also euphemistically expressed his willingness to follow Ye Qing to fight together.
However, Ye Qing could see from his eyes that this old fox was just pretending. There was no intention of going to the front at all.
Speaking of which, please also ask the qualified war king to just take office, although his personal strength is not weak. But after all, war cannot be decided by the strength of one person. Most of the ministers in the Holy Fire Empire maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards Ye Qing's command ability. No one believed that Ye Qing would be able to surprise everyone.
Ye Qing politely declined Hai Lie's "kindness", and then personally selected a few teams. Let these people be ready for everything.
It was already noon when I had done this, and it was time to eat. Ye Qing took Xiao Yi and sat down in a restaurant with a booming business.
Ye Qing entered the restaurant mainly to understand some information, not to eat. Eating is just incidental.
Let the guys in the restaurant serve a table of good dishes, Ye Qing quietly listened to the others chatting. Most people are talking about some homely things, and there are no special events.
However, there are many people in the restaurant, and if you want to know some timely information, you still need to come here to listen. After looking around, Ye Qing finally found the news he was interested in on a table not far away.
"Brother, have you heard? Our Holy Flame Emperor is back after eight years, and I heard that his strength is even stronger than before. scared the king of Zhenbei away. ”
"Of course, I heard that my uncle is an important minister of the Holy Fire Empire, so I naturally know this news. ”
"This is nothing, it is said that the Holy Fire Emperor has also crowned a remarkable figure as the King of War. It is said that this person's strength far surpasses that of the King of Zhenbei, and is on a par with the Holy Fire Emperor himself. ”
"I've heard of that, too, but it doesn't seem like this person is as exaggerated as you say. My uncle said that this man had a great background, and the Holy Flame Emperor took him very seriously. ”
"I see, yes. I heard that the War King is going to lead an army to attack Yunlun City, is this true?"
As soon as these words fell, the man who claimed to be his uncle was an important minister of the court suddenly changed his face. Then the voice in his eyes said, "Brother Wang, where did you hear this?" You can't talk nonsense!"
Seeing that the man was so nervous, the man suddenly nodded again and again, and then said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll tell you, I haven't said it once in front of the others." ”
......
After that, Ye Qing didn't listen to it anymore, this news had already made Ye Qing understand the current situation. That is, it is no secret that he attacked the city this time, even the people in the Holy Fire City can know about it, so it is impossible for the Galaxy Empire not to know about it.
However, Ye Qing didn't care about this, even if the other party knew. In the face of absolute strength, all resistance is useless.
After returning to the Zhanwang Mansion, Ye Qing asked Xiao Si to prepare three thousand summoned warriors, and when the time came, he would go to Yunlun City with Ye Qing.
"Master, are you going to war?"
Xiao Si asked excitedly.
"Yes, departure in three days. We're going to attack a well-defended city, and we're going to run into a lot of resistance. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Si said with a smile: "Master, I can help you achieve a beautiful victory." ”
Ye Qing smiled and didn't say anything.
Seeing Ye Qing's disbelieving look, Xiao Si suddenly became a little anxious, and immediately said, "Master, you have forgotten what I am, I was born for war." War is what I do best, and no one can surpass me in war. ”
Hearing Xiao Si's words, Ye Qing immediately reacted.
Yes, Xiao Si is the spirit of war. Her commands can be teleported instantly into the hearts of every summoned warrior, and she has a natural instinct for war. You don't need to think about it to come up with the best solution.
"Well, I'll give you 20,000 troops. You give me the minimum loss. If you behave well, the war will be handed over to you in the future. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Si suddenly jumped up and hugged Ye Qing's neck.
Ye Qing shook his head helplessly, and finally sent this little guy back.
The next day, the Holy Flame Emperor sent someone to ask Ye Qing how many resources he needed for the war and how long he was going to fight.
Ye Qing directly asked the envoy to go back and tell him, saying that he didn't need other resources, and each soldier would bring his own food and grass. As for the time, Ye Qing asked how long it would take to go back and forth.
The envoy told him that it would take more than ten days, so Ye Qing smiled and told him that he would return victoriously in half a month.
The envoy didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of the war king, so he could only go back and tell the Holy Fire Emperor suspiciously.
In the palace, the Holy Flame Emperor was sitting in the study listening to the words of the subordinate who reported to Ye Qing. After listening to it, he also showed a surprised expression. But it quickly returned to normal, and then let his men go down.
"Haha, what a Ye Qing. He is so confident, could it be that there is an elder who has been secretly following him? It should be like this, otherwise it can't be explained. Yunlun City is an important city of the Star River Empire, and its defense is amazingly strong. Even if I go out myself, I can't be sure. ”
After figuring it out, the Holy Flame Emperor was immediately satisfied with his original decision, and felt that he was very wise.
Three days passed quickly, and he set out for the goal with 5,000 Heavenly Fire Army and 50,000 Nanlin Army. The people in charge of seeing them off were the Great Prince and Snow Blue.
"Ye Qing, war is not a game. The terrain of Yunlun City is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the Yunlun City Lord is a master of the fifth level of the Martial Saint. ”
Blue Snow Princess's words revealed her worries, but she was quickly infected by Ye Qing's confident smile. She felt that this man was full of mystery, maybe Yunlun City was not so powerful in his hands.
