Chapter Fifty-Eight: Embarking on the Journey

On the second day, the sky was not yet bright, and there was already a sea of people at the west gate of the holy capital, because today is an important day, and the army of the Holy Dynasty's westward expedition will embark on the journey today, and hundreds of thousands of sons and daughters of the Holy Dynasty will go to the battlefield for the honor and disgrace of the Holy Dynasty and the people of the world, and fight a bloody battle with the demon army. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info at this moment, inside and outside the Holy Capital, the crowd is boiling, because this expedition is by the current Holy Emperor Jiang Mingxuan of the Holy Dynasty, which is rare in the history of the Holy Dynasty, since the founding of the Holy Dynasty more than 300 years ago, only the first Holy Emperor has ever been personally conquest, and Jiang Mingxuan is the second Holy Emperor with such courage, if the Holy Dynasty army can defeat the demon clan this time and return triumphantly, then Jiang Mingxuan's three words will definitely be recorded in the history of the Holy Dynasty, and the name will be immortal.

Outside the West Gate of the Holy Capital, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were waiting in line, while inside the West Gate was a red carpet paved with clean water sprinkled on the streets, and the ministers of the court and the central government, under the leadership of Ni Feng, Huangfutao and Xue Liuyun, all came to see off Jiang Mingxuan and others and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. At this time, Yun Chen, Jiang Mengqi and the others were already ready, and the army was arrayed, just waiting for Jiang Mingxuan's order, and the army could set off.

This time, the total number of the Holy Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Corps is about 800,000, and the commander of the Chinese army is Jiang Mingxuan, the lord of the Holy Dynasty, who commands the regular army of the Holy Dynasty of 500,000; Jiang Mingxuan takes him as the deputy commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, and leads the 130,000 new troops newly recruited by the Holy Dynasty, relying on this old man's rich combat experience, so as to train the new army; and the commanders of the vanguard army of the Holy Dynasty are Yun Chen and Jiang Mengqi, the two of them each commanded the headquarters of the army, and in the future, they will cut through thorns and remove obstacles for the western expeditionary army.

At this moment, Jiang Mingxuan, who was dressed in gold armor, rode out of the west gate slowly, and at the time of parting, Jiang Mingxuan instructed Ni Feng and the others: "Ni Aiqing, Huangfu Aiqing, Xue Aiqing and Ouyang Commander, you are all the ministers of the humerus of the Holy Dynasty, this time I am driving in person, if you don't defeat the demon clan and swear not to return to the court, you must work together in the court, and you must not let me down!"

When Ni Feng and the others heard this, they said in unison: "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will do our best to live up to Your Majesty's high expectations." This expedition to the west is a long way, I hope Your Majesty will take care of your body and return triumphantly as soon as possible!"

After that, someone gave Jiang Mingxuan and the others spirits to make them stronger.

Jiang Mingxuan picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in the cup, and then ordered: "The army is on the march!" With that, Jiang Mingxuan turned his horse's head and returned to the position of the Chinese army.

Yun Chen and the others also drank the wine in their cups one after another, and then led their legions and slowly left.

Watching hundreds of thousands of soldiers slowly leave, the hearts of all the ministers in the court and the central government were a little heavy, because everyone knew that this battle was related to the future and destiny of the Holy Dynasty.

At this time, Ni Feng said in his heart: "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, I hope that you can make a name for yourself in this expedition, defeat the demon army in one fell swoop, and achieve immortal feats, I am waiting for your good news in the Holy Capital." Then, Ni Feng said to Huangfu Tao next to him: "Lord Huangfu, this expedition is very important, you must ensure the supply of grain and grass for the army, and there must be no mistakes." ”

When Huang Futao heard this, he said: "Ni Ge Lao rest assured, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, I understand this." The matter of food and grass is a major matter of the march, and I have already asked someone to handle it properly, so that the battle on the front line will not be delayed. ”

Ni Feng nodded and said, "That's good, by the way, Commander Ouyang, from now on, every time you transport grain and grass, you have to personally check it, and you can't slack off." ”

Ouyang Yu said: "Elder Ni Ge, rest assured, escorting grain and grass is the top priority, I have selected 20,000 elites from the forbidden army, and with the city defense army outside the city, it should be foolproof." ”

Hearing this, Ni Feng slowly put his mind at ease, and then said to the ministers behind him: "From now on, all the adults must perform their duties, and they must not relax their vigilance!"

When all the ministers heard this, they all said together: "I will follow the instructions of Elder Ni Ge, and we will do our best, be loyal to our duties, and never disappoint Your Majesty's high expectations!"

Hearing this, Ni Feng nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to watch the Western Expedition army.

......

Five days after the departure of the Holy Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army, Jiang Mingxuan urgently recruited the commanders of various legions to discuss matters in the commander's tent. Yun Chen and Jiang Mengqi, as the commanders of the vanguard army, naturally need to go, along the way, Yun Chen saw Jiang Mengqi's face like frost, and wondered in his heart: "Why is it that since the last time I completed the gambling contract in the martial arts arena, Qi'er's attitude towards me has become even worse, as soon as she sees me, her face is like frost, as if she is going to eat me, is it because she broke Qi'er's big array last time, and she hasn't lost her anger yet?" It's impossible, it's been many days, Qi'er is not such a stingy person, losing is losing, Qi'er won't be angry with me because of this, so what is it for?" Yun Chen was puzzled, and he was very depressed.

On this day, Yun Chen took the opportunity of Jiang Mingxuan's summons to urge the horse to come to Jiang Mengqi's side, and said with a smile: "Marshal Jiang, we need to help each other and ...... each other on this expedition."

Without waiting for Yun Chen to finish speaking, he saw Jiang Mengqi's eyes showing a fierce light, and scolded: "Get away from me, you dog thief who is in the twilight and sees things differently, Ben Shuai is upset when he sees you, get away, go find your confidante, Ben Shuai doesn't know you!"

After saying that, Jiang Mengqi urged Ma Yang to leave, leaving Yun Chen stupid in place.

"Where are these things? Is there some misunderstanding between Qi'er? Although she hated me before, she didn't scold me as soon as we met, what the hell is going on?" Yun Chen wondered.

When everyone came to the tent, they saw Jiang Mingxuan's face heavy and ugly. Seeing this, Jiang Mengqi asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what is worrying?"

Jiang Mingxuan said: "A secret report has just come from the Military Machine Pavilion that the demon clan has sent troops and is heading in the direction of Dingyang. After that, Jiang Mingxuan got up and came to the marching map in the tent, then pointed to the map with his finger, and continued: "The demon clan is bound to send troops this time, Mo Han personally led the army, and after leaving Yunzhou, he came in the direction of Dingyang with a rapid momentum, I don't know what everyone Aiqing thinks about this." ”

Chu Tian, Shen Yuanhua, Yun Chen and Jiang Mengqi in the tent all came to the map, watched carefully, and after looking at it for a while, Shen Yuanhua was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, this time the demon army is at its peak, and the number of people is several times better than our army, according to the old minister's opinion, we should speed up the march, strive to reach Dingyang before the demon army, and then with the help of the Dingyang defense line, hold on to it, in order to consume the morale of the demon army, and after the demon clan is weak, we will study how to send troops to counterattack!"

Hearing this, Chu Tian nodded and said: "Your Majesty, General Shen's words are not unreasonable, the demon army is vigorous at this time, and we can only use Dingyang's strong defense line and natural advantages to defend Dingyang to the death, in order to thwart the spirit of the demon army." ”

When Jiang Mingxuan heard this, he frowned, then looked at Jiang Mengqi next to him, and said, "Marshal Jiang, in your opinion, what should we do?"

When Jiang Mengqi heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, in terms of military strength, we are indeed very different from the demon army, but it is precisely because of such a big gap that we have a chance to win by surprise." In the situation of such a huge difference in strength, the demon army will definitely think that holding on to Dingyang is our best choice, if we go the opposite way and take the initiative to attack, we will definitely be able to catch the demon army off guard. After that, Jiang Mengqi came to the map and said: "Your Majesty, come and see, if the demon army sends troops from Yunzhou, it will inevitably go out through Qishan first, and then through the official road, to the great plain before Dingyang City, this plain is flat, just suitable for the cavalry of the demon race, the demon race is conceited of its own cavalry, if we can reach this plain first, and then launch an attack on the demon army by surprise, we will be able to rub the demon army's arrogance." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Mingxuan nodded and said, "Marshal Jiang's proposal is very good, I don't know what everyone thinks?"

Shen Yuanhua opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, although Marshal Jiang's plan is good, but it is extremely risky, the cavalry of our Holy Dynasty and the cavalry of the Demon Clan are far behind, and the Holy Dynasty is a long-distance attack, and the Demon Clan is waiting for work, if there is a mistake, the whole army will be wiped out, I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

Chu Tian also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Marshal Jiang's plan is too risky, with such a huge difference in strength, if we have any more losses, how can we compete with the demon clan in the future." ”

Seeing this, Jiang Mengqi said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to personally lead the Blade Legion and frustrate the spirit of the Demon Clan!"

Hearing everyone's words, Jiang Mingxuan thought for a while and said, "Yun Aiqing, what do you say?"

Yun Chen looked at the three people next to him and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although the plan mentioned by Marshal Jiang is feasible, it is not thorough enough. After that, Yun Chen also came to the map, and then pointed to the map and said: "Your Majesty, please see, there is more than one road between Yunzhou and Dingyang! Pingdu, then take the waterway, go upstream, take the flat seal, and then approach Qingli and Tianqi, Qingli and Tianqi are also the two auxiliary cities of Dingyang, if the two cities are broken, you can threaten Dingyang from below; if the demon army comes out of the middle road, then as Marshal Jiang said, you can go out of Qishan first, and then with the help of the vast plain before Dingyang City, give full play to the advantages of the demon cavalry, and then compete with our army for hegemony. Now the strength of the demon clan is far superior to ours, if I am a demon clan, the army will be divided into three ways, separate roads and go hand in hand, gradually encroaching on the Dingyang defense line, and finally isolate Dingyang, and then form a siege of Dingyang, in this way, once Dingyang becomes a lonely city, it is not far from the city breaking. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts moved, Yun Chen's analysis just now was comprehensive and clear and organized, at this time, Chu Tian and Shen Yuanhua were really impressed by Yun Chen, and although Jiang Mengqi hated Yun Chen, he also had to admire Yun Chen's analysis in his heart.

When Jiang Mingxuan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said, "Then Evian Aiqing, what should we do next?"
