In the early morning, the morning sun has just risen from the horizon, and the sky is slightly bright.
The mighty 800,000-strong army set out from the fortress of the Southern Xia Army and advanced towards the territory of the Northern Yan Kingdom.
The coalition has a total of five legions, and the legion sent out for the Northern Expedition this time is the first legion commanded by Lord Zhenguo.
The 200,000 troops of the original Nan Xia were all in this legion. In addition to the 200,000 troops of Nan Xia, there were also armies from several other kingdoms and special troops from two sects.
Lin Yun and Nangong Yan were still riding the Furious Pterosaur, directing the actions of the entire legion in the air.
The Lord of the Kingdom of Zhen was riding a golden-armored demon lion, cooperating with Lin Yun on the ground to command the army.
The ten generals of Nanxia Zhenguo, as well as some generals from other kingdoms, followed the Zhenguo King and led their troops to charge forward.
The Northern Yan Kingdom was vast, five times the area of Southern Xia today. There were more than twenty states and counties in total, but most of them were concentrated in the north.
The Royal City of Beiyan is located in the south, but it is still thousands of miles away from the fortress of the Southern Xia Army, separated by several states and counties.
Lin Yun looked over Beiyan's map, and then marked a few locations on the map, which were the cities that must be captured before attacking the royal city.
Whether from a strategic point of view or from a geographical point of view, these cities are crucial.
Especially the several cities around the royal city must be captured before attacking the royal city.
Because as long as these cities are captured, the armies in other areas of Beiyan will no longer be able to support the royal city. In this way, the Southern Xia army can capture the turtle in the urn of the royal city.
"Nangong Yingzheng and Shangguan Baiqi, you will lead an army of 50,000 to capture the main city of Cangzhou, and then go to the main city of Zhongzhou to join the main army."
"Hua Mulan, Su Lie, you lead an army of fifty thousand to capture the main city of Luozhou, and then go to the main city of Zhongzhou to join the main army."
"Prince Nangong and Shangguan Xia Yan, you will lead an army of fifty thousand to capture the main city of Guangzhou, and then also go to the main city of Zhongzhou to join the main army. I believe you can do it, don't let me down."
Lin Yun especially warned Prince Nangong and Shangguan Xia Yan.
In any case, they had been trained by Lin Yun for a month, and they could be regarded as half of Lin Yun's disciples. Lin Yun naturally wanted to test their abilities, so he gave them this important task to complete.
Prince Nangong and Shangguan Xia Yan both nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we will definitely complete the mission!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they took their 50,000-strong army and parted ways with the main army.
These cities that Lin Yun sent Nan Xia soldiers to attack were once the provinces of Nan Xia three hundred years ago, but they were later invaded by Northern Yan and became the cities of Northern Yan.
Lin Yun believed that every Nanxia soldier wanted to personally retake these lost territories. Therefore, Lin Yun did not send any soldiers from other countries to help, but asked all Nanxia soldiers to regain these lost territories.
After these Nanxia soldiers left, Lin Yun continued to dispatch generals from other kingdoms, and dispatched them to attack different cities according to the strength of each general.
After all the troops were dispersed, only 100,000 troops were left. Lin Yun and Nangong Yan, with these 100,000 troops, directly attacked the main city of Zhongzhou, which had the most important geographical location and the most rigorous defense deployment.
The Beiyan Kingdom is divided into the north and the south, and the main city of Zhongzhou is geographically the central hub of the south.
Five hundred miles north of the main city of Zhongzhou is the location of the Royal City of Beiyan. As long as the main city of Zhongzhou is captured, the royal city will be in danger.
Lin Yun dispersed his 800,000-strong army and captured more than a dozen major cities in the south of Beiyan. He then gathered them in the main city of Zhongzhou and used Zhongzhou as a combat camp to directly launch a general attack on the royal city.
As long as the royal city falls, Beiyan will basically have no power to recover. Even if the Assassination Society wants to send people to support it, it will be too late.
That night, the 100,000 troops led by Lin Yun arrived in Zhongzhou County, only a hundred miles away from the main city of Zhongzhou.
Lin Yun asked all the soldiers to rest and set up tents on the spot to rest for the night.
After all, the soldiers had traveled long distances all day long, and their physical condition was extremely poor. If they attacked the city immediately, they would definitely be very exhausted.
Only by recharging your energy until dawn can you be in the best condition to attack the city.
With the trump card Lin Yun holds, it is not impossible to capture Zhongzhou City alone.
But now the war with Beiyan has broken out in full force, and this is not the territory of Nanxia, but the territory of Beiyan. You may encounter enemy support at any time, and you may even encounter assassins.
In order to deal with the powerful assassins of the Assassination Society who may appear at any time, Lin Yun must retain his strength and not take action easily in this battle. Otherwise, after he uses the Demonic Core Crystal, it will be embarrassing to encounter the assassins of the Assassination Society again.
Today, Lin Yun can maintain the first form of the Demonic Core Crystal for a long time, and can even use it again after using it.
But he can't maintain the second form of the Demonic Core Crystal for long yet, and once used, he can't use it a second time.
Therefore, in this period of all-out war, he must not easily activate the second form of the Demonic Core Crystal until it is necessary.
While the army led by Lin Yun was resting, the army led by Prince Nangong and Shangguan Xia Yan were fighting fiercely in the main city of Guangzhou.
With the help of Lin Yun's elixir, the cultivation levels of Prince Nangong and Shangguan Xia Yan have also been greatly improved.
Prince Nangong has reached the level of a fourth-level martial artist, and Shangguan Xia Yan has also reached the peak of a third-level martial artist.
Moreover, Lin Yun also engraved the power inscription and the sensitivity inscription on them, which greatly improved their strength and speed. Although their strength is not as good as the real King of Martial Arts, it is not far behind.
Especially Prince Nangong, he is almost invincible under King Wu.
Guangzhou County is a smaller state and county. Even in the main city of Guangzhou, there will never be a powerful martial king. Even the Marquis of Guangzhou is only a ninth-level martial artist.
"Is this all your strength?" Prince Nangong, whose whole body was shrouded in electric light, was standing on the high city wall with a sword in one hand, looking at his opponent not far away with cold and arrogant eyes.
On the city wall dozens of meters away from him, stood a middle-aged man wearing purple soft armor, also holding a sword in one hand.
The aura of this middle-aged man is extremely powerful, and he has obviously reached the level of a ninth-level martial artist. There is no doubt that he is the Guangzhou Marquis with the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength in Guangzhou County.
The Marquis of Guangzhou did not speak, but stared at Prince Nangong with a solemn expression, as if staring at a very difficult opponent.
