Chapter 45 War is like fire, soldiers front the East
War is like fire, and its momentum is like breaking bamboo.
After the Golden Fire Cavalry led by Meng Tian entered various parts of the Eastern Territory, they galloped across the country. Wherever they passed, nothing could resist their attack.
Although there are many powerful people in the eastern border, the area is vast and there are so many counties. How can we assemble a strong force in a short period of time?
The Battle of the North.
It has been proven long ago.
The Eighteenth Prince is surrounded by many strong men and there are many legendary magic weapons. It is not that easy to defeat them.
However, the defenders in various places did not have a strong will to resist.
They are not stupid.
If a foreign enemy invades, we must fight back with death. Even if it is stained with blood, we can still leave our name in history.
But this kind of large-scale movement encountered civil war for the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
If you die, you will die in vain.
Military sentiment is like fire.
An envelope of frontline battle reports was quickly sent to the Imperial Capital.
Qin Hai looked at the piles of memorials with a very gloomy expression. He had not slept peacefully for even one day since Qin Yu raised his army.
In a short period of time, dozens of cities fell.
Not many, basically all at the county level.
But this shows that Qin Yu has reached out to the rich eastern territory.
Many think tanks began to analyze the rebel movements.
"What exactly are the rebels going to do when they enter the eastern border and seize small towns? But they don't seem to have a clear purpose, and it's more like they're acting indiscriminately."
“Sometimes it’s chaotic, and it’s more elusive.”
Some of them couldn't figure out what they were doing by seizing those small towns of little value.
Even if it's in the palm of your hand, it won't give you much support.
But how could they know that by gathering sand into a tower, even a small town with more systems can give rewards and sometimes even surprises.
And these are all part of the chessboard of the world.
"Pay close attention to the movements of the rebels."
Lu Rong was the most concerned. His Majesty must see his ability before His Majesty could demote Xiao Chenghai and become the Prime Minister.
"But Prime Minister Lu, I am also worried about one thing. The Eastern Border is the strongest among the four realms. The rebels may be acting like this to attack the East and attack the West. They are deliberately trying to make us think that they are going to attack the Eastern Border, but it is actually the Western Border."
A deputy next to him raised this suspicion.
"It is also possible that the northern border connects the eastern and western borders. The western border has more plains, which are suitable for cavalry charges, and there are not as many strong men as the eastern border. Moreover, the eastern border has a complex environment, including mountains, seas, plains, and large rivers."
Lu Rong frowned.
Everyone feels tired when facing Qin Yu, who is like a god in military tactics.
If you cannot figure out the specific strategic purpose of the enemy's troops, you will not be able to gather troops on a large scale.
"No matter what, I will write down all the several guesses in detail in the memorial and report it to His Majesty for His Majesty to make a decision."
Lu Rongdao.
After Qin Hai read Lu Rong's memorial, he discussed it with his ministers and felt that it made sense.
Be prepared.
Be on guard against attacking in the east and in the west.
But we must also beware that the rebels are trying to deceive others, but are actually hiding from the east.
He understood that he could not allow the enemy troops to continue like this, otherwise when Qin Yu gathered greater momentum, his position as emperor would be really unstable.
"The troops in the Eastern Territory are ordered to prepare, and all the tribes in the Eastern Territory must be drafted at any time. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be punished according to the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty!"
"At the same time, all counties in the western region must also beware of surprise attacks by the rebels!"
"Qin Yu messed up my empire and was unworthy of our descendants. Everyone will punish him if he gets it!"
...
The imperial court issued successive orders.
The situation is mysterious and very tense.
After all, the eastern border is not the northern border, and Qin Yu has deep roots.
"Be prepared to attack from the east and west, and at the same time resist if I will really attack the east. Prepare with both hands. The direction of the war is now completely in my hands."
The vast rivers and mountains turned into a chess game of heaven and earth.
Presented in front of Qin Yu.
Eastern layout.
Everything is going according to his vision.
"Let Meng Tian speed up and seize the important town in the east."
Qin Yu was strategizing, he was in the northern border, but his vision was all over the world.
As a superior, you must have this kind of strategy.
Time flies by, and it has been half a month since the troops were sent to the east.
Meng Tian's entire army took a short rest.
"Attack Linzhou City and capture the entire Linshan County in one fell swoop!"
Meng Tian is also a famous general.
During this period, they attacked arbitrarily, and the imperial court did not take much action. It knew that it was dispatching troops and generals, and would not attack at will to give them a chance.
Many northern auxiliary troops around him are also in place.
Linzhou City.
It is the seat of Linshan County.
And this is also a large county in the east.
Very prosperous.
There are not many counties in the Northern Territory that can compare to such prosperous cities, but they are everywhere in the Eastern Territory.
The sky is very gloomy today.
There were flashes of thunder in the sky from time to time.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Linshan City, forming an elite army.
The guard general is called Li He. He is not weak and has the strength of the third level of Heaven Realm.
His brows were twitching, and he had a premonition that something big was going to happen.
Rumble...
The ground suddenly shook!
With his celestial vision, he could see dust covering the sky very far away. What made his heart tremble was that there were actually countless black shadows.
Like a black dragon, the burning dragon flames swept over and pushed everything aside.
When this army encounters mountains, it will open up mountains; when encountering forests, it will destroy forests.
"Golden Fire Cavalry!"
Li He's expression changed drastically. How could he not know the reputation of the Golden Fire Cavalry? He was the ace legion under the Eighteenth Prince and defeated the Fire Legion.
"The rebels are coming!"
Linshan County Sheriff was only in the realm of life and death, but he sensed it and immediately summoned the city defense and activated the city defense formation.
"General, the Golden Fire Cavalry is coming? What should we do? We can only quickly activate the city defense, and at the same time notify the country and send reinforcements, otherwise it will be difficult to stop them!"
The general beside him said anxiously.
Li He looked uncertain.
There was only a short road ahead of him.
The first is to stand firm and wait for help.
But Meng Tian's realm is higher than his, and he has a legendary artifact. Linzhou City cannot withstand this kind of destruction, and he will die.
The second is to abandon the city and flee.
At that time, he was not in a good position to defend his territory, and he was likely to be severely punished when he returned to the court. He was used as a warning to the generals.
"General, your majesty strictly orders that not an inch of land be lost. Every county and every city must be nailed down like nails!"
Another deputy general said.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Li He actually slapped the two lieutenants twice on the head.
"Pig brain."
Li He scolded: "Tell me what to defend with. It would be okay if it were other legions in the north, but if Meng Tian strikes with a sword, who can stop it? It's not that I am afraid of death, if Qi people come across the sea
, I will fight with them even if I don’t want this life!”
"What do you mean, general?"
"Surrender, surrender to the Eighteenth Prince!"
Li He actually made this choice.
Who is orthodox?
The late emperor died without establishing a prince.
Qin Hai was the first to win the throne. Taking advantage of Qin Yu's far away from the center of political power, he ascended the throne first and declared himself orthodox.
And the eighteenth prince also said that he was orthodox.
Who is the orthodox one depends on your fists.
Li He didn't want to die in this kind of battle for the throne. If he didn't surrender now, he would definitely die. But if he surrendered immediately, there might be a glimmer of hope.
"Lord Sheriff, what do you think?"
Li He looked at Linshan County Sheriff.
The governor of Daqian County has great power. He is in charge of the people's livelihood in the county. He also has a certain say in the military and is responsible for supervising the various armies and ethnic groups.
Linshan County Sheriff sighed: "Open the city gate!"
He also had no choice.
Before Meng Tian's army charged over, the gate of Linzhou City opened on its own initiative, and officials of all sizes left the city.
[Ding! You captured Linzhou City and received a reward of three million yuan stones and ten thunder spirit fruits. ]
....
[Ding! You captured Linshan County and received a reward of seven million yuan stones and a small Five Elements Battle Formation.]
When Qin Yu in the northern border saw the news, a smile appeared on his face. This was the first county he had captured in the eastern border. This chapter has been completed!
