The world is covered with ice and snow, and under the fiery red rising sun, the whole world seems to be coated with a layer of fire, which is a bit dazzling.
Outside Xieyang Pass, on the ice field, more than a million troops from Dali gathered, densely packed with no end in sight, like a vast ocean of people, with spears like a forest of knives like a sea, horses neighing, flags blazing...
On the top of the city gate, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Qin Antai, stood in front of everyone, wearing tiger-swallowing black scale armor and holding a coiling dragon-swallowing moon knife. The morning sun rose behind him. His whole figure seemed to be glowing, like the god of war coming to the world.
In front of him was Dali's million-strong army.
He stood there like the center of the world, attracting everyone's attention.
With his appearance, the millions of troops gradually became quiet, and the wind seemed to be overwhelmed by his majesty and forgot to blow.
Looking at the millions of soldiers in front of him, he exhaled and spoke loudly, the sound shook the surrounding areas, the air in front was distorted, and the sound clearly spread throughout the three armies.
"Back then, there was no justice in the river, and they planned to kill Master Chen of our dynasty. When Master Chen died, the whole country mourned and all the people burst into tears. There was no justice in the river, and our dynasty launched its Northern Expedition. This battle lasted for many years, and many men were buried on the battlefield."
"We, the Dali Dynasty, have established themselves in this world. We will not allow others to bully us. If we dare to harm our master, we must seek justice. For this, we will do whatever it takes!"
"Over the years, many of my Dali men have been stained with blood on the battlefield, with mountains of bones and rivers of blood, just to seek justice. All of this is worth it. Back then, the Dajiang Dynasty dared to harm the wife of this dynasty. If they swallowed their anger, they would dare to go further.
, I, the Dali man, am not a weak person, if he dares to reach out, I will cut off his hand!"
"Today, we have summoned all the soldiers with only one purpose: to send the army north to seek justice for Master Chen and to relieve the evil spirits in the hearts of all the people."
"More than a hundred miles behind you is the Nanyang City of the Dajiang Dynasty. From there, every time you take a step forward, you will get back one more point of dignity and face for me, Dali."
“It’s time to put an end to the stalemate that has lasted for many years.”
"Anyone who violates our great distance will be punished no matter how far away!"
"My general, Qin Antai, is with all the other officers and men."
"I hope all our soldiers will be victorious!"
When Qin Antai finished speaking, millions of soldiers roared loudly.
"Wan Sheng... Wan Sheng... Wan Sheng..."
Millions of troops roared together, the clouds in the sky were shaken away, and it seemed that only the word Wan Sheng was left in the whole world.
After half an hour, millions of soldiers fell silent.
Then Qin Antai stepped back slightly to give way, and Xia Tao stepped forward and stood where he was.
Wearing a golden battle armor, he looked forward and said loudly: "The river has no way, all the soldiers are marching north, Dali, the second prince, Tao, are with all the troops!"
He didn't say much. After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply, bowed his hands, and then backed away.
Needless to say, he showed an attitude by standing here. He stood behind the soldiers on behalf of the entire Dali Dynasty!
"Wan Sheng... Wan Sheng... Wan Sheng..."
Millions of soldiers roared once again.
Even though Xia Tao only said a few words, just the fact that he stood there and appeared to be with everyone greatly boosted morale.
The entire Dali belongs to the royal family, and now the war is about to begin. The royal people are also fighting bloody battles with the soldiers. How glorious is that?
When the soldiers calmed down again, Qin Antai appeared at the city gate again. He waved his big hand and said in a deep voice: "Bring him up!"
Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of countless people, there was a faint clatter of steel chains, and a pitch black python that was a hundred meters long was dragged up the city wall, and hung outside the city wall with the clatter of iron chains!
The python was still alive, and its twists and turns were terrifying, just like a legendary dragon appearing before the eyes of the world.
Looking ahead, Qin Antai, holding the Panlong Moon Swallowing Knife, said in a deep voice: "Sacrifice to the heaven!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and swung down the Panlong Moon Swallowing Sword, which was shaped like a Daguan Sword. A flash of sword light that was tens of meters long flashed by, and with a pop, the terrifying giant python was cut in half!
It is two halves rather than two sections. The giant python whose scales cannot be broken by ordinary weapons is as easy as killing a chicken in Qin Antai's hands...
After killing the giant python, he pointed the sword in his hand straight to the north and roared: "Northern Expedition, go out!"
"Wan Sheng... Wan Sheng... Wan Sheng..."
The million-strong army roared again, and immediately began to turn around and march north in an orderly manner.
Sacrifice to the heaven is a necessary process before the battle begins. Usually, three or six animals are sacrificed to the heaven, but this time Qin Antai directly beheaded a strange beast python to sacrifice to the heaven.
This time it was just a gathering before the war. The whole process was very simple. It was similar to chanting and chanting to the generals. It had been done many years ago when the Dali Dynasty went to war against the Dajiang Dynasty. Now it was just an announcement of the determination to fight.
.
Millions of troops have gathered, and not all of them will rush towards Nanyang City a hundred miles away. Some troops will retreat to Xieyang City, some will rush to various key points, and some will go directly back to the camp to listen to the deployment and participate in the war at any time...
The Spear Army of the Dawn Legion where Yunjing is located is one of the armies that continues to move north.
War is certainly terrible, but the gathering of millions of troops before was so contagious. Even though people only stood there and listened to a few words from Qin Antai and Xia Tao, and watched a scene of killing a giant python with swords, it still made the sergeants' blood boil.
Anyway, the soldiers around Yunjing looked as if they had been beaten to death.
"The veteran generals before were General Qin, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and His Highness the Second Prince. I didn't expect to see them with my own eyes."
"No, if I can meet such a person, if I can go back alive after the war, I will brag to my fellow villagers for the rest of my life."
"Hiss, General Qin's sword was too terrifying. He killed a giant python more than forty feet long with one sword. That sword seemed to cut through the sky."
"There is also the second prince. Although he didn't say much, I feel like he said a lot."
"We are uneducated, but the second prince also comes to the border to fight with us. Isn't this considered a leader in the army?"
"I guess so……"
While marching with the large army, the soldiers around Yunjing talked about everything.
This is what the people at the bottom of this era are like. They have a vague belief in their hearts, and there are big figures who take the lead. They don't think so much and just follow it anyway. After all, everyone is like this.
"Quiet, no uproar during the march," the supervisor shouted as he rode his horse galloping through the crowd.
Although it played a certain role, it still couldn't stop the soldiers from discussing in low voices with great interest. It seemed that the cruel war that followed was not so terrible.
The decisive battle begins in Dali. The vanguard Thunder and Fire Legion are the first to set off, followed by the center Dawn Legion.
But whether they are the vanguard or the center, they have not sent out all the troops at once, and it is not a group fight. They can all attack in a swarm. The superiors will make arrangements based on the actual situation. Anyway, those at the bottom can just obey orders.
Starting from Xieyang City to attack Nanyang City of the Dajiang Dynasty, there is more than a hundred miles in between. If the army is dispatched, it will be good to see Nanyang City in the next day. We will definitely not be able to fight on the first day.
Of course, it was impossible for the Dajiang Dynasty to be unaware of such a big movement in Dali. When Dali was gathering the army, Dajiang had already begun to mobilize troops and generals to prepare for the situation.
Towards evening, Yunjing and his army arrived five miles outside Nanyang City on the Dajiang River, and could already clearly see the city wall of Nanyang City opposite.
When the army arrived here, they immediately set up camp. In order to prevent the army from being attacked by the troops sent from the other side of the river when it first arrived, more than 100,000 gun and shield soldiers had been deployed in front of the Dali army to form a hedgehog-like human wall to defend the rear.
The army has enough time to deploy defenses.
Yunjing and the others came here and started setting up tents non-stop. In such a cold weather, if there was no tent to keep out the cold, let alone fighting, it would be easy to die from the cold after one night.
When Yunjing was busy working, he did not forget to observe both sides.
Troops have already been deployed on the city of Nanyang in Dajiang, but they are only five miles apart and beyond their reach. Dali is well-prepared, so it is simply unrealistic for them to send troops to attack the camp before Dali has settled down.
Then, outside Nanyang City, Juma pits and trenches have already covered the area one mile below the city. With these things, Dali can only use human lives to fill them if they want to quickly rush to the opponent's city!
On the Dali side, on the other hand, there were more than 100,000 gun and shield soldiers in front of the army forming a human wall to buy time for the rear to deploy defensive fortifications.
With tens of thousands of engineers and soldiers busy, local materials were used to build the city wall.
The city wall was built by tamping the soil, filling the soil with fiber-rich plants, and then pouring water through the rammed soil wall. After freezing, it would be strong enough.
When the sun sets, an eight-meter-high earth wall has been built on the vast ice field. As time goes by, the earth wall is rapidly getting taller and thicker.
In this season when it’s hard to urinate, water is the best cement.
After the simple city wall on the ice sheet was formed, the gun and shield soldiers in front of them retreated into the city wall in an orderly manner and faced Dajiang Nanyang City far away.
"Seize the time to eat and rest, and cheer me up. Although we are the attackers, we must always be prepared to be attacked by the river," the captain inspected the camp and ordered each tent.
The first day of the decisive battle is just about marching and setting up camp. The real battle will not begin until the next day, or of course it may be earlier. After all, night is the best cover.
However, Yunjing guessed that the possibility of a battle starting on the first night was very low. After all, both sides were not ready for battle. It was not about war etiquette, but the fact that Dali had to march here in a hurry and needed repairs, while Dajiang had to mobilize troops.
Sending generals also takes time.
"My location is about five miles away from Nanyang City of Dajiang Dynasty, and my telekinesis coverage now exceeds ten kilometers. In other words, half of Nanyang City of Dajiang Dynasty is within the coverage of my telekinesis..."
Under the night, Yun Jing looked at the Dajiang Dynasty in the distance. Thinking of this, he knew that there were too many things he could do.
It is not easy to hunt down enemy troops silently from a distance, and it is not impossible to assassinate the middle and high-level enemy troops!
Now there are more than one million troops on both sides facing each other at a distance. With so many people gathered together, who knows who did it?
Do you want to have a wave?
Yun Jing was thinking about this issue. When the two countries fight, you will die or I will die. Talking about benevolence, justice and morality is just a flaw.
"Don't be anxious. It's not that I'm afraid that the other party will imitate others and send people to assassinate us. After all, the other party needs to come in person to send people, and I can do it from a distance. The other party can't learn from it at all. And even if it comes, it's estimated that it will take more than 100 years.
With the current strength of our army, no one can think of causing trouble and leaving. The main reason is that if it is not time, taking action in advance will only cause the other party to riot for a while and prepare for it. Of course, their preparedness does not mean much to me, but why not at the critical moment?
What about taking action? For example, when the two sides go to war, I secretly start to hunt down the other party's grassroots and mid-level and high-level officers on a large scale. In this way, their orders cannot be passed on, and I will be in chaos, and our army will be able to fight more easily.
, Only in this way can the benefits be maximized..."
Thoughts flickered in his mind. Although Yun Jing had his heart set on causing trouble, he suppressed it. He could do it at any time, but he had to maximize the benefits.
For now, just figure out the other party's personnel deployment.
While silently collecting the information he wanted, Yunjing was also eating to fill his stomach. Although he could sustain consumption by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he was not used to having an empty stomach.
Now that hundreds of thousands of troops are rushing here, there are not so many cooks to cook and supply hundreds of thousands of troops. What he eats is military ration pills, portable military rations.
Junliang Pill was thought up by the late Master Chen many years ago.
This thing is about the size of a walnut, it is dusty, dry and crispy, smells a bit fragrant, and tastes salty and sweet in the mouth.
"It smells like meat, and some kind of meat powder has obviously been added, mostly soybean and rice flour..."
After tasting a military grain pill and drinking a glass of water, Yunjing actually felt full.
Raising his eyebrows, he thought to himself that this was clearly a 'compressed biscuit'. It contained meat powder, soybean rice flour, salt, sugar, vegetable oil, and even some kind of nourishing medicinal materials. One cookie can completely maintain a person's normal life for a day.
Consumption.
After a little analysis of Junliangwan Yunjing, I stopped paying attention to it. After all, this stuff is actually not very tasty. Just put a piece of it in your mouth as big as a fingernail. If you don't drink water, your mouth will be extremely dry. If you swallow the whole pill, you will probably die of thirst.
While he was doing two things and filling his stomach, Yunjing also figured out some situations in Nanyang City of Dajiang Dynasty within the scope of his telekinesis.
In the current war, these are extremely valuable information!
Although Yunjing did not intend to cause trouble immediately, it did not prevent him from using this information.
Multi-tasking, he used other people's pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write down the information he observed in Nanyang City of the Dajiang Dynasty. He also drew pictures to indicate in detail who was in which place and what kind of troops were deployed in which place...
Then, Yunjing sent all the copied information to his master. His master absolutely needed these things!
Li Qiu leads the Thunder and Fire Legion, and the Thunder and Fire Legion is the vanguard of this battle. Naturally, he rushes to the front line. He is only more than two thousand meters away from Yunjing and is within the Thunder and Fire Legion's garrison.
Li Qiu had just settled down his troops, and before he could take a breath, he saw a stack of paper flying into his tent out of thin air.
His heart froze, and just when he thought there was some oversight in the military's defense, he found that the top of the stack of paper said, 'Master, I sent this to you, it may be useful.'
Li Qiu: "..."
The brat didn't know how to say hello in advance, so that the teacher was almost startled, so why can't he deliver it normally? And what other weird abilities does this brat have?
"Forget it, Jing'er can fly, so why should I make a fuss?"
Li Qiu quickly convinced himself, and then went to look through the things Yun Jing sent. The more he read, the more frightened and surprised he became.
Jing'er actually touched Nanyang City so clearly?
"It's so useful. With these things, how can Nanyang City be invincible!"
After calming down, Li Qiu guessed that Yun Jing flew over at night to observe secretly. He was a little worried about Yun Jing's safety, but now that he was out on an expedition and couldn't give instructions, he could only hope in his heart that Yun Jing would take it easy on his own.
Then, he burned the top piece of paper in Yunjing that revealed his identity, and then took the stack of information and immediately went to coach Qin Antai to formulate the next battle plan.
With the information Yunjing sent, Li Qiu felt that the chance of conquering Nanyang City in one fell swoop had increased by 50%, although before that he was 90% sure...
Noticing the master's actions after getting the information, Yunjing looked in the direction of Dajiang Dynasty and thought to himself, I am using fluoroscopy, how can you fight?
Flying Dragon Rider...well, there are some things you shouldn't say nonsense.
