On the way to Dongjiang, Lin Changan looked at the map Xu Rulin gave him, and his eyes became increasingly cold.
The situation is indeed not optimistic.
The number of soldiers currently guarding Eastern Xinjiang is only about a dozen or two hundred thousand. Including the Red Flame Army and his own troops, the total number is only 900,000. More importantly, the natural dangers of Eastern Xinjiang are blocked by
broken!
Yes, the natural barrier of Eastern Xinjiang has been broken!
Originally, Eastern Xinjiang had a Great Wall that was thousands of miles long outside the mountains. Because it was forged on the mountains, it was inconvenient for troops outside the Great Wall to fight in the rugged mountainous areas. This was the natural danger of Eastern Xinjiang.
However, it was rumored that some time ago, this natural barrier was destroyed by Lei Zhenguo's artillery.
As for the reason, people say it is purely shameless because the area outside Eastern Xinjiang belongs to Lei Zhenguo, and it will be easier to farm after it is leveled by bombing.
Farming? It sounds nice, but in fact it means destroying the Ziyun Empire's natural danger. In this way, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is greatly restricted.
"But fortunately, we still have 900,000 troops in hand." Lin Changan murmured, looking at the map in his hand, with many calculations in his heart.
The Lei Zhen Empire on the opposite side has 200,000 cavalry and light cavalry, as well as one million soldiers, 300,000 archers, 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers, which means releasing artillery, repairing artillery, including cleaning the battlefield, treating the wounded, etc., and there are ten
Thousands of cooks.
Perhaps in the world of mortals, cooks are dispensable in war, but in this world of cultivators, cooks are extremely critical, because the next meal may determine whether a cultivator has the strength to start a war and whether he can recover.
Spiritual power.
Eating will give you strength, but for practitioners, eating will not restore spiritual energy.
"It's just a pity. There are clear regulations on the battlefield. Strong men with inscriptions and above are not allowed to participate in the battle. Otherwise, if you lead a venerable minister like the Minister of War to carry out a sneak attack, many people will be killed." Lin Changan shook his head.
He shook his head and said.
On the battlefield, no strong person with an inscription or above is allowed to appear. This rule makes the cultivator's war suddenly become longer. Of course, it is also because the Venerable has greatly affected the battle situation from the beginning. After all, a Venerable can kill an army of 100,000 people.
.
Yes, a hundred thousand troops!
Of course, in fact, many times the emperor is not very willing to trade the Venerable for a hundred thousand army. After all, the Venerable lives longer, and the cost is not as much as that of a hundred thousand army.
"Well, if the Venerable participates in the war, it will affect the balance too much." Zitan beside him also nodded. If the Venerable can participate in the war, then massacres should become a very common thing. Existences at the level of the Venerable, alone, can
It's okay to kill hundreds of thousands of mortals by yourself, but what if there are no checks and balances?
As they were about to arrive in Eastern Xinjiang, Lin Changan turned around and glanced at the 190,000 troops behind him, looking thoughtful.
Because these soldiers don't know what they are going to do.
"Everyone, stop!" At this time, Lin Changan spoke, causing the 190,000 troops to stop. This scene also made Zitan and General Bai a little stunned, wondering what Lin Changan was going to do.
He felt that it was necessary to tell all the soldiers at this time what was going to happen, and to boost the morale of many soldiers.
Of course, in fact, most of the soldiers who entered the city with Lin Changan already knew about it, and only some of the soldiers who had just entered the outer city didn't know about it at all.
"Everyone, you may be wondering where we are going on this journey? Well, maybe there are some smart people who have guessed that we are going to Eastern Xinjiang!" Lin Changan said calmly,
road.
"Eastern Xinjiang? What's going on? Why are we going to Dongjiang all of a sudden?" A soldier said, confused.
"Yes, didn't His Majesty say that we should suppress that city just now? Why should we go to Eastern Xinjiang?"
"This is not our business." Many soldiers had already started talking, wondering what the situation was.
"Everyone, I know you are confused. This is not what I want to do. Why should I go to Eastern Xinjiang?! Then I will tell you, because those traitors you just saw came from Lei Zhen outside Eastern Xinjiang.
The plan of the country and the Tianbing Kingdom, they just want Ziyun to subjugate the country!"
"Let this country, which gave birth to you and raised you, be shattered!"
"Let your relatives be trampled on, let every step of the homeland you miss in your heart be trampled under the iron heel!"
"Why go to Eastern Xinjiang? The war is about to begin. If we wait until the war begins to help, it will still be too late. Although our 190,000-strong army cannot help Eastern Xinjiang very much, I believe it can.
Wherever you are, we will definitely be able to sweep everything!"
"Those border warriors have been guarding the city gate for you all their lives. Now the border is about to be breached. Those damn foreign enemies are about to breach our land. Today, it is our turn to guard the city gate for them. No one is afraid of death.
The soldiers are unqualified, but they are afraid of death, but they can't dare to die! They have to die on the border. Even if they are turned into withered bones, they must use their own bone spurs to pierce the enemy's chest. As the saying goes, when the prince controls the border, the sky
You are the guardian of Sheji. Today, the Ninth Prince is willing to live and die together for all of you brothers. How can you say that he has no clothes and is wearing the same clothes as you!"
Lin Changan climbed up and shouted, and in an instant, roaring sounds filled the sky suddenly!
"How can you say that you have no clothes, but you share the same robe with me!"
However, seeing the morale of the army soaring a lot, Lin Changan was still a little disappointed, because the morale did not achieve the expected results. Of course, the reason was that this morale boost was entirely to make these troops more susceptible to red sandalwood.
Take control and make red sandalwood famous.
The vast army's voices surged continuously, heading straight into the eastern border.
Before reaching Eastern Xinjiang, you can see a winding Great Wall surrounding the mountains in front of you, like a coiled giant python, ready to revive at any time and devour the world.
Among them, the smoke was billowing, and there seemed to be traces of smoke from the beacon tower. It seemed that there had been a war not long ago, and it seemed that the fighting was quite serious.
"The beacon tower actually burned down not long ago." Lin Changan flashed his deep eyes slightly, this was not good news.
If there is a war, of course it is impossible to start a war, then there is only one reason left, the other side has increased its troops.
When troops are scarce, the increase of troops on the opposite side is the same as the reduction of troops on one's own side.
The mighty 190,000-strong army, driven by Lin Changan, slowly drove into this huge border city.
After the Great Wall, there is a bustling city where troops are stationed, some food, and some military weapons are stored.
