As night approached, Lijun Qingqi arrived at Taiming City.
Standing alone under the north gate of Taiming City is a man wearing rich robes, just like Lu Tieshan in front of the Lijun Qingqi Army camp. He has a brocade hat and mink fur, with his sleeves folded up, with the entire towering city wall of Taiming City as the background.
, but did not show any arrogance at all. In the darkening world, he only appeared calm and calm, as indifferent as water.
Lijun Qingqi did not stop, but turned into two long dragons and galloped past the man on both sides and entered the city.
The only one left in front of the man was Luo Chuan.
He turned over, dismounted, and strode towards the man. He held him up and stopped him from kneeling down, saying, "General Lu, no courtesy."
He helped the man up and said with a smile, "I heard that my father wouldn't let you kneel down and bow down. Now that you see me as a junior, you can't do it even more. Besides, anyone in Li County can kneel down, but I, the God of War in Southern Xinjiang, can bow down."
No, General Lu, the banner of a famous human general, must be erected extremely straight, so that Nanyi or Sifang Xiaoxiao will not dare to underestimate me from Lijun."
"Lu Dongfeng is really a little frightened by the prefect's praise." This person is naturally the general of the Taiming War Zone, the famous human general Lu Dongfeng. His face remains the same as before, but he still insists on bending down and saluting, "I will be a general from now on."
Since then, he has never left Taiming except to report to the city for official business. Although he has won several local victories during this period, the scale and influence are not mediocre. The name of the famous human race general is even more inexplicable.
The prefect should be aware of the things that thoughtful people have introduced to calm the hearts of the people in the world."
"General Lu, there is no need to be too humble. Uncle Jiang, who is now left behind by me in Licheng Army, regards you as his idol, so Luochuan also grew up listening to your stories. General Lu's past achievements, brilliant achievements and changeable tactics are all satisfying.
"It has destroyed all my fantasies about the battlefield when I was a boy." Luo Chuan led the horse and entered the city arm in arm with Lu Dongfeng. "Compared with the Baitong Defense Line, which has the convenience of mountains and rivers, Taiming's terrain is flat and open. In such an environment, it can still be
This prevented the Nanyi from crossing the border and even allowed them to penetrate deep into the mountains and win. It can be seen that the initiative on this battlefield has always been in the hands of General Lu. The difficulties and the hard work General Lu put in are self-evident."
The two walked slowly through the city gate. In the thick city gate hole, only the torches high on the wall provided a little light. Luo Chuan spoke unhurriedly, while Lu Dongfeng listened quietly, "This spring should
It's not easy, right? Nanyi moved northward in large numbers, and some Nanyi sects that were not originally involved in the attack also joined in. The pressure was already great, but at the end of last year, half of Taiming Baitong's elite troops were transferred northward.
, instead of some Northern troops whose combat effectiveness is worrying, how does General Lu think we should respond?"
"The situation is indeed a bit difficult, and the trouble is not limited to what the prefect said," Lu Dongfeng's expression was still calm, but what he said was shocking, "Last winter was not as cold as in previous years, and this spring is
It comes earlier, and the rain is more abundant than in previous years. This is an excellent condition for some beasts that reproduce quickly, especially rats and rabbits, which may bring about some unexpected consequences under the intentional guidance of the monsters.
Trouble, such as the destruction of spring crops, etc. In addition, the confrontation between the Nanyi and us started last winter. If they are willing to control it, the number of beasts that can survive this winter will be far greater than before, which is also a difficulty."
His voice was steady, "In addition, as the Grand Administrator said, monsters from Riyue Lake and even Kirishima have appeared this spring, and the number and frequency of monsters appearing in the mountains of southern Xinjiang are far higher than before.
In the battle of Yicheng, the Grand Administrator, for example, there were five great demons in the upper three realms alone, including Master Netherworld, a powerful man who could be counted among the entire Nanyi. The last time this happened, there were already ten.
There was a war a few years ago. These big demons themselves have great strength and can come and go freely. They are extremely unpredictable. They all have life-saving magical powers and are extremely difficult to kill, and some of them are also various and complex.
Extremely troublesome abilities, such as...the art of transformation!"
Luo Chuan couldn't help but frown when he heard the words "transformation technique".
However, Lu Dongfeng continued as if he did not see the change on Luo Chuan's face, "Besides that, there are more troublesome things. In the past, when the southern barbarians invaded the north, they often fought independently and had their own goals.
If we meet unexpectedly in the mountains, we might have to fight first before coming back again. But this year is obviously different. The top leaders of the major sects in Nanyi seem to have reached some kind of agreement. The division of labor between the demons and barbarians is clear and the cooperation is seamless.
It can be seen only from the layout of its offensive and defensive lines in the mountains of southern Xinjiang. It is really different from previous years. It is difficult to imagine that the originally loose and chaotic forces of various Nanyi sects will show up after they have a tacit understanding to a certain extent.
What kind of lethality can they produce, especially...among the demons in the Third Middle Realm and above, there are many whose wisdom is not weaker than that of humans or even far beyond that of ordinary people...!"
Luo Chuan frowned slightly and nodded, but said nothing.
Lu Dongfeng stretched out his other hand and guided Luo Chuan to a restaurant near the city gate that was heavily guarded by black armored troops. As the two walked towards the restaurant, a shadow appeared silently behind Luo Chuan. Lu Dongfeng seemed to
He continued as if he didn't see the shadow at all, "There are some troublesome things, and there is also some good news. At the end of last year, when the Northern Army went south, Zhong Xian's Gan Yuan Army was much better than the general expected, especially the elite soldiers among them.
The level of equipment is very good, so after the completion of the reorganization and the elimination of the lowest ranks, the overall combat effectiveness of today's Taiming Army is not much worse than that of the former Taiming Army. As far as I know, Baitong's
The situation on the other side is similar, although the training time for these soldiers is shorter, but... being on the battlefield between life and death can always make people grow faster."
"The other is the level of the strong." Lu Dongfeng led Luo Chuan to the second floor of the empty restaurant. Except for two or three maids who stayed here to take care of them, there was no one else. The two came to a nearby area.
In the compartment with an open window, meals were already prepared. Lu Dongfeng led Luo Chuan up to sit down, and he sat beside him, "Since last autumn, whether it is Taiming or Baitong, Wangchuan Sword Cultivator has come to help from time to time.
Come, some will directly ask to join the army, and we naturally accept all comers. Some are more willing to assist in the war in a relatively free capacity. We often give them the status of scouts. Wait until this winter, especially after the battle of Yicheng, the governor,
Not only Wangchuan Sword has been cultivated, but there will also be practitioners from other sects or folk practitioners from Southwestern Hanzhou coming south, and there are more and more of them, which is good for the war situation and the morale of the army."
Luo Chuan nodded, and then moved his chopsticks first, "Compared to the bad news, these good news are still too thin. If we just list the strengths of both sides, we are still at an absolute disadvantage." He turned to look at Lu Dongfeng and asked, "
General Lu, am I right to understand this?"
Lu Dongfeng also moved his chopsticks and smiled when he heard the words, "That's right, that's also wrong."
