Chapter 401: The First Battle

"It's not all the way......" Li Si chewed Li Ze's words repeatedly, with a wry smile on his face.

"Maybe it used to be, but from the moment you ascended the throne and became emperor, you were actually different. Li Zejiang made it very clear that the current Li Si and Zhou Ping are not all the way at all, no matter what Li Si's original intention is, the fact is that he has now become an unscrupulous emperor to achieve his goals, and Zhou Ping is different, he is a child, with tears in his head and light in his heart......

"This is the way this world is, you stand at the center of the whirlpool of power in the world, and it is inevitable that you will be changed. Li Zexu said, "Actually, this change is a good thing in my opinion, even if you don't want to admit it, it's also a fact." ”

The higher he stands, the farther away he will be from his original self, and now Li Si has already become unrecognizable in the whirlpool of power, which he knows better than anyone else.

In fact, Li Ze never thought that Li Si would let himself live, if he was the emperor, he would never let Li Si live, but even if Li Si knew that leaving Li Ze would leave him with trouble, he still did not kill Li Ze, which is enough to show that Li Si's heart actually puts the people of the Tang Dynasty first, and on this basis, he can give up everything he has!

In fact, the throne is far less important in Li Si's heart than others think, he insists on being the emperor, in fact, the main thing is to prove himself to Li Chunhao, to prove that he is stronger than Li Ze, to prove that he can also manage the Tang Dynasty well, and to prove that he can also manage the Tang Dynasty well, and prove that he ...... Prove his father's choice wrong!

But Li Chunhao still laid out the last game before he died, he wanted to turn Li Si into a person like him, a cold-blooded emperor who would do anything to achieve his goals!

Even Li Si himself can feel that he is becoming more and more like Li Chunhao, the same cold-blooded, the same ruthless, the same unscrupulous, if he is not able to stick to the original intention of protecting the people, I am afraid that Li Si has become the kind of person he once hated the most.

"What do you think, what should I do?" asked Li Si in a deep voice.

"You are the emperor, you shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing, and I can't give you an answer. Li Ze raised his eyelids at Li Si and grinned, "Didn't you already have the answer in your heart from the time you stepped into this courtyard?"

Li Si was silent for a long time, in fact, he left this place, before leaving, he pasted a talisman volley on Li Ze's soul seed, this is a spell that specifically suppresses the power of the soul seed, as long as Li Si wants, he can take Li Ze's life at any time!

Li Ze didn't resist too much, he was already a prisoner, and it was already good to survive, so it was reasonable for Li Si to use this kind of means on him.

Everyone understands that Li Ze is right, Li Si already has the answer in his heart when he steps into this courtyard, but he wants to come and see this brother of his own, to see what kind of 'answer' his brother, who has the same blood as himself, will give him.

Back in Daming Palace, Li Si hatched a brilliant plan in his mind, which could not only cut Zhou Ping's power, but also not affect the relationship between the two......

At this time, the atmosphere in Yunshui City was very tense, with the arrival of several waves of reinforcements, Yunshui City temporarily stabilized the situation, but the other troops in the third theater were not so lucky, especially the troops where Baili Chengfeng was located were even more precarious, from last night to now, Baili Chengfeng had sent more than ten urgent messages to Zhou Ping requesting support, which showed the crisis of the situation in the war drum camp.

"The vast territory of Linchuan, where the War Drum Battalion is located, is extremely suitable for the surprise attack of the enemy's orc troops, if we can't support it as soon as possible, then the situation of the War Drum Battalion is probably ......."

It was Zhang Hanzhong who said this, his control of the overall situation was second only to Zhou Ping, in fact, it was not only the war drum battalion, but also the Linchuan area because it was located at the junction of the three war zones, and there were five or six troops in the second and fourth war zones around it, which had become the most ferocious place for the frontline confrontation in addition to the Ten Thousand Beasts City.

There are five or six friendly troops, which means that there are definitely not a few surrounding beast troops, and in this case, the situation that the War Drum Battalion has to face is far more complicated than Zhou Ping imagined!

"The geographical location of Linchuan is extremely important, if Linchuan is taken by the beast troops, then the combat readiness between our seven war zones will be greatly affected, especially the blow to our third war zone will be fatal!"

Zhou Ping pointed to the narrow defense line on the map, and said in a deep voice, "Our battle line is already long, and losing Linchuan is equivalent to breaking your waist and ribs, I will never allow this to happen!"

Zhou Ping was right. Huo Zhun, who was standing beside Zhou Ping, frowned and said, "Our third war zone is holding back fifteen thousand wolf clan troops in Linchuan, if we retreat, then the garrison troops in the other two war zones will definitely be under double pressure, once one of the battle lines collapses, it will trigger an unpredictable chain reaction, not only Linchuan, our three war zones may be invaded by the beast clan A large number of lands!"

In any case, the current situation has gradually reached the point where Zhou Ping is beyond his control, and now not only the second, third, and fourth theaters are trying to find ways to support Linchuan, but even other theaters are ready to send troops to help, the strategic significance of this land is too great, and the Terran front cannot afford this blow!

"How about the investigation of the beast troops around Yunshui City?" Zhou Ping looked up at Zhang Xiaoyue, Zhang Xiaoyue has been in charge of the investigation work, and now the movement of the beast troops around Yunshui City Zhou Ping will let Zhang Xiaoyue be responsible for monitoring and probing.

"It's not a lot, three small troops, the total number is about two thousand...... Zhang Xiaoyue replied in a deep voice.

Zhou Ping repeatedly planned on the map according to the location of the beast clan troops provided by Zhang Xiaoyue, and his face gradually became solemn.

"Not only the Linchuan battlefield, but the current situation in our third war zone is not optimistic, the real purpose of the beast clan's troops is to directly take our third war zone in one fell swoop after opening the Linchuan battlefield!"

"As long as Linchuan is broken, then our northwest portal will be completely opened, plus the opening of the snake clan in the west in the previous six-party raid battle, half of our portal will be completely opened, and at that time, only with these city defense affairs and city defense troops in our hands now, we will not be able to resist the attack of the beast clan at all!"

Zhou Ping marked on the map two huge garrison vacancies in the west and northwest, and everyone changed color, if it was really as Zhou Ping said, then after the loss of Linchuan, the third war zone would not become a piece of meat in the mouth of the beast clan, and they could eat it whenever they wanted.

"Then we have to help. Zhang Hanzhong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the Linchuan battlefield will soon face a strong attack from the beast clan, if we don't support now, then there will be no chance at all." ”

Zhou Ping frowned at this time, in a dilemma! Draw troops to support Linchuan, then the interior of the third war zone will be very empty, but if you don't support, once the weak Linchuan is broken by the beast clan, then the third war zone is still a dead end!

How will he choose?

Just when Zhou Ping was entangled, another message came from Baili Chengfeng, in which he said that the war drum battalion was currently trapped in the foothills of the northern part of Linchuan, and the four sides of the mountain were besieged by the beast troops, and the army was already short of water and food, and the military food could only be eaten for two days at most.

Zhou Ping took a deep breath, he clenched his fists tightly, his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and the color was already white. Everyone looked at Zhou Ping with solemn expressions, they all knew that the decision made by Zhou Ping would be extremely difficult!

"Stay behind with five thousand city guards, and the rest of the city guards and all the main battle camps will go with me to support Linchuan!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Hanzhong said dumbly, "This ...... I'm afraid I'm going to take a big risk......"

"The reinforcements from the rear vassal countries are about to arrive, and the orc troops are also aware of this, all the elites in our generals have been transferred, and they will definitely think that our reinforcements have arrived!" Zhou Ping raised his head, and a fierce color appeared in his eyes, "If you want to solve this game, then you can only gamble, anyway, there are still five thousand defenders in our city, if the orcs really want to attack the city, it's a big deal that we can turn back the same way!"

Zhou Ping's move is not bold, although he said so, but who knows how long these 5,000 people can hold out under the attack of the beast army? If the bet wins, then when Zhou Ping arrives at the front line, most of the crisis in Linchuan will be resolved, but if the bet is lost, then Yunshui City, which is the central town of the entire third war zone, will be broken!

"Empty city plan, ......" Huang Ren, who had not spoken all this time, sighed, "Now there is only this way!"

"Bet on it!" Hanjiu looked at the area marked by Zhou Ping on the map with cold eyes, and his eyes were full of war.

Soon, under the command of Zhou Ping, only 5,000 city guards were left in the city, and all the other troops were reorganized, Zhang Hanzhong contacted the overseers of the various theaters who were about to participate in the battle according to Zhou Ping's requirements during this period, and carefully explained the stakes and importance of this battle, and the overseers of several other theaters attached great importance to it, and all of them were ready to send troops to the Linchuan battlefield.

Chu Li's meaning is very clear, now the commander of the Ten Thousand Beast City will not be able to rush to the aid because of the confrontation with the main force of the beast clan, but he will definitely speed up the mobilization of reinforcements in the third war zone, and strive to fill the defensive vacancy that Zhou Ping took away as soon as possible.

In addition, Chu Li issued another news that shocked the entire Terran frontline theater, this Linchuan Battle was under the full command of Zhou Ping, the governor of the third theater, and the other theaters from the overseers to the subordinate troops must try their best to cooperate with Zhou Ping, there must be no mistake!

What does this battle represent? Now the number of Terran soldiers who are fighting with the beast troops in the Linchuan area has reached more than 100,000, and after the situation analyzed in Zhou Ping's message, the overseers in all the theaters are aware of the importance of the situation, so the Terran troops in the Linchuan area are increasing all the time.

Zhou Ping's third theater of war because of the most fierce attack, so there are not many troops that can be deployed, but they are all elite soldiers, and other theaters are different, many war zones do not directly fight with the beast clans in their defense area, but are in a state of confrontation, in this case they can draw more troops than the third war zone.

Zhang Hanzhong made a simple count, and when the war in the Linchuan area really started in full swing, the total number of troops participating in the battle of the Terran race was likely to reach more than 300,000!

A battle of this scale will be the biggest clash between the human race and the beast race in thousands of years, and Zhou Ping is the Terran layout of this ultimate layout!

Zhou Ping led the army to the expedition, leaving only 5,000 city guards in Yunshui City, this battle will directly affect the future of the human race, so in Zhou Ping only victory, not defeat!

"Zhou Ping, I'm afraid this battle is not so easy to fight...... Chen Bi'an said in a deep voice, "The beast clan must have already dispatched their troops to Linchuan, and maybe even now they are ready to stop us on our way forward." ”

During this time, Chen Bi'an rarely made a move, and during the battle to defend the city, he and Song Wenyan had been staying by Zhou Ping's side, and others dared to let go of their hands to fight.

"Master, do you think there's anything wrong with our route this time?" Zhou Ping said as he took the map from Zhang Hanzhong's hand and began to discuss the choice of route with Chen Bi'an.

The tactic of encircling the point to send reinforcements is not uncommon in ordinary Terran wars, and the leader of the Orcs must be super strong people whose intelligence is not weaker than that of the Terrans, and this tactic is still possible.

In such a large-scale battle, there is a high probability that there will be a disconnect between the forces of all sides, and when these forces support each other, it is precisely the best time for the enemy to ambush!

On the Terran side, Zhou Ping is in full swing to contact all the troops to enter the front-line troops, and the beast clan is naturally not idle, the Eagle King has actually been eyeing the fat of Linchuan for a long time, and he has already finalized his strategy before Zhou Ping began to lay out in Linchuan.

His ambition is much greater than Zhou Ping's imagination, in Zhou Ping's imagination, if the beast clan troops break through Linchuan, they will definitely eat the third war zone with the weakest defensive force at this time, the Eagle King does have this kind of idea, but his idea is far more than that!

Linchuan is broken, not only the third war zone, but also the defense line of the other second and fourth war zones will also have great flaws, and the Eagle King wants to seize this opportunity to take all three war zones in one fell swoop!

The Terran has a total of seven war zones, and there are only eight in the Ten Thousand Beast City area, if the Eagle King takes three war zones at once, then there is no need for the Terran defense line to continue to defend, because the gap in the defense line that has been broken by that time is so large that the Terran cannot make up for it!

If this line of defense is passed, then the entire north of the Tang Dynasty and dozens of surrounding vassal countries will become the granary of the beast clan, and after occupying these lands, the beast clan will completely rush out of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, and the human race will never have the strength to fight back!

The Eagle King narrowed his eyes, as the King of the Eagle Clan, his eyesight was excellent, and he could clearly see every grass and tree dozens of miles away without hindrance, and now what he was staring at was Zhou Ping's marching troops!
