General Zhengnan ordered Lei Peng, the chief general of the Zhennan Army, to leave 5,000 Zhennan Army behind to guard Zhennan City. He led 5,000 Zhennan Army as the vanguard and immediately set off to attack the Qixing Mountain area.

She told Lei Ban to set up camp ten miles away from the Qixing Mountain area and wait for the opportunity to make a tentative attack on the sects in the Qixing Mountain area, but not to go deep and wait for the follow-up army to arrive.

Lei Pen listened to the order and ordered 5,000 veterans of the Zhennan Army to attack the Qixing Mountain area.

It was also Lei Pen who had an extra savvy, fearing that General Zhengnan might try to trick him during the battle. With these 5,000 veterans in hand, he would be able to fight against anything he encountered.

Thinking about it in Lei Ban's mind, as the saying goes, it is necessary to be on guard against others. Since General Zhengnan came to Zhenna City, he has made one move after another, which is really hard to guard against. Although the enemy he is targeting is not himself, he can't see it yet.

He came out because he had some intentions for himself, but there is nothing wrong with being cautious.

Then General Zhengnan ordered Liu Ming, the commander of Pingnan Army, to obey the order.

Liu Ming was in a state of confusion. If he hadn't noticed that there were so many people here, he would have immediately fallen at the feet of General Zhengnan, made some unbearable move, and said some embarrassing words.

General Zhengnan ordered Liu Ming to serve as the flank of the army, protect the left side of the army, clear the roadblocks, and ensure that the army marched normally to the Qixing Mountain area.

Liu Ming finally had some sense and managed to understand the order, then reluctantly left. When he went out, he even tripped.

This made the remaining people look down on this playboy even more. They really couldn't figure out why the head of the Liu family would spend so much money on such a waste. If he really let this Liu Ming inherit

The Liu family's business is probably going to be over.

After Liu Ming returned, he ignored everything and the Fang Bo's repeated warnings, and ordered the entire Pingxi Army to dispatch to protect the left side of the army for the Southern Conquest Army and ensure the safety of the army's march.

To be honest, his errand was far inferior to that of the vanguard of the Southern Army.

Although the forward seems to be the first to fight the enemy, which is more dangerous. Even if the army comes from behind, he will be the first to rush forward and fight. However, he is the forward who pushes forward, and the credit for his achievements is clear. What's more,

It is an army of its own.

Although he, the Pingnan Army, refers to the left wing, he is actually like the nanny of the Conquering South Army. The work he does is hard and tiring, and he has no great achievements. Moreover, he deliberately wants to pass through the dense forest, which is not possible at all.

There is no ready way to go.

But Liu Ming was overjoyed and didn't know where he was thinking. Uncle Fang couldn't resist him, so he had to obey him and bring out all the tens of thousands of troops.

After sending Liu Ming away, General Zhengnan ordered the border soldier to

The commander of the army, Yang Jie, took five of his ten thousand households to protect his right side.

Yang Jie naturally followed orders, but this Yang Jie was no better than Liu Ming. He did not pull out all the Thousand Household Offices, but only selected the four Thousand Household Offices that were originally converted from the Zhennan Army.

Then he selected the best one from the other six thousand-household stations, and then 5,000 people from five thousand-household stations were sent to guard the right wing of the army.

The army camp is naturally for the Conquering South Army, but this time, General Zhengnan ordered that there were 2,000 soldiers in the Conquering South Army last time, and there were only 8,000 soldiers left. With these 8,000 people as the main body, another army from the settlement army was allocated.

30,000 horses.

A total of 38,000 people served as the central army, and then some of those who were injured and broken in the previous time were eliminated as rearguards to support the troops in front at any time, and then the troops were sent out.

For example, Li Tianxing, the lord of Zhenna City, Tong Pang, the supervisor, and Zuo Qing, the herdsman officer, all followed the army to the Qixing Mountain area.

Zhennancheng was handed over to Zuo Qing's deputy for guarding.

Regarding the matter of going out with the army, Li Tianxing had a happy-go-lucky attitude. He didn't have much decision-making power anyway. I would do whatever you asked me to do.

The fat boy was overjoyed, as if it was his blessing to be able to serve the princess, riding in front of and behind the horse, and he was extremely happy.

Zuo Qing's attitude is quite resistant, but now that General Zhengnan has the power and has the support of King Li, he now asks Zuo Qing to accompany the army. If Zuo Qing does not go, he will easily use it as an excuse.

Zuo Qing was holding the handle of the knife in someone else's hand, so naturally he wouldn't be so stupid as to give his neck to someone else to chop him off.

The army sets off for battle.

Therefore, there were 5,000 vanguard Zhennan Army, 10,000 left-wing Nannan Army, 5,000 right-wing frontier troops, 38,000 people from the headquarters subduing the Southern Army, plus 60,000 rear guard troops for reclamation, a total of 118,000 people. It can be said that the strong force near Zhennan City

The army was almost completely empty, and they all rushed to Qixing Mountain.

At this time, Zhennan City was almost an empty city, and its protective capabilities were the weakest in many years.

However, at this time, the army was out for battle, and even if the people from the Southern Wilderness knew the news, they would not be able to bypass the army and attack Zhennan City.

This is also the reason why the princess of Changle dared to boldly bring out so many troops.

There are too few roads in the entire southern wilderness area, just one. The rest are dense forests and dangerous mountains, making it difficult to pass quickly.

In other words, as long as you occupy the main road, you can ensure the speed of sending out troops and returning troops, and you don't have to worry about anyone coming around and attacking from behind.

When you finally get around it after all the hard work, maybe someone will come back quickly and be waiting for you to give you a head-on blow.

118,

If a 000-strong army spread out on the plains and wanted to reach Qixing Mountain from Zhenna City, given the distance between them, they would probably be able to kill them very quickly.

However, in the dense forest area in the south, there is only one official road, which can only accommodate two people walking side by side. And only halfway there, the road disappears. The rest of the road is full of dense forests and dangerous mountains, making it difficult to travel.

This is a difficult task for an army of more than 100,000 people. It is difficult to reach Qixing Mountain without reducing the number of troops.

Fortunately, there are no enemies in this generation at this time.

If they were like the people of the Southern Wilderness and blocked the army in the dense forest, they would have suffered heavy casualties. I don't know when they would be able to reach the Qixing Mountain area.

The reason why Wu Feng did not arrange a layer-by-layer attack was because these sects were actually relatively unfamiliar with the terrain here and were not used to the combat methods.

If they are released, they may not be able to fight as well as the Zhennan Army. Instead of doing this, it is better to simply abandon these places and retreat to Qixing Mountain as their home ground.

By gathering all the people who know everything together, the defensive formation or support can be supplemented at any time. Relatively speaking, Wu Feng's definition of this battle is active defense, not seeking merit, but seeking success.

No fault.

This is because he judged that if the Zhengnan Army consumed too much in the battle with him, then he would face a sudden attack from the Southern Wilderness and the Sea Tribe in the next step.

Therefore, no matter what, the Southern Conquest Army must maintain its strength and not allow them to make the scale of their attack too large. Once the losses are serious, it will of course only be harmful to the Southern Conqueror Army but not beneficial. At the same time, it will not be beneficial to the Sword Alliance.

That said, it may not necessarily be a good thing.

While the General of the Conquering South Army was dispatching his troops, the troops of the Hai Clan were already moving towards the Qingshan area. Not to mention the troops of the Southern Wilderness people, they had already moved towards the Qixing Mountain area and were already far away from the Qixing Mountain area.

The mountainous area is not far away.

Moreover, they are not clearly distributed in the front, rear, left, and right like the Conqueror Army on this side, but as a whole.

And due to their familiarity with the terrain, they did not encounter many obstacles when marching. In terms of speed, they were actually faster than the Conquering South Army and arrived earlier.

These indigenous people born and raised in the dense forests of the Southern Wilderness are very adaptable to the terrain here and are agile and fast.

Regarding this, neither the Conquering Southern Army nor Wu Feng knew anything about it. Although Wu Feng also sent spies to the Southern Wilderness, they basically did not play their due role due to their unfamiliarity with the terrain.
