When he saw Zeng Yi at the old prince's palace in the capital, the old prince was a little surprised, "Why are you back?"
"Old prince, if I don't come back, the north will fall into the hands of Mengge Yeluhongji!"
Hearing this, the old prince frowned instantly: "Has the matter become this serious?"
"Meng Ge and Yelu Hongji have already pressed, and Xiao's army on the western front has launched an offensive at the same time. With the current army in the north, it is impossible to withstand so many enemies. With a little grassland occupying the north, Xixia and Tubo are very likely to attack too.
Offensive!"
"Can't the northern army withstand ten days? In more than ten days, the elite divisions of the grassland will be able to march northward!"
"Ten days, it's impossible. I can't hold on for five days. Now the northern army is at the end of its strength. Once Xiao Feng's army launches an offensive, the northern army is likely to collapse! I see that there are many troops gathered outside the city.
Well, why not let this part of the army go north first?"
"The soldiers and horses have not moved forward with food and fodder, and there are no logistical supplies. If so many troops go up, they will collapse without the enemy fighting them!"
After all, it is actually a matter of food and grass supply. The imperial court's elite army also has a hundred thousand people. With so many people, the consumption of food and grass supplies is simply an astronomical figure. Such a large amount of food and grass cannot be transported on this rugged road.
In unfavorable times, it cannot be completed in three or five days. If the food and grass supplies cannot keep up, as the old prince said, there is no need for the enemy to fight, and the soldiers may have rebelled first.
"Grain and grass, grain and grass!" Zeng Yi muttered a few words, and suddenly remembered that in the past, when King Xing rebelled, both sides dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops. The transportation of grain and grass was also a troublesome matter. Finally, he issued a transportation task to the players.
This is the solution to the food and grass problem. "Damn, I almost forgot about the players. Since we could use players to transport food and grass before, can't we use players in the same way this time!"
Thinking of this, Zeng Yi's eyes lit up and he immediately said to the old prince: "Old prince, I have a trick that can solve the food and grass problem!"
"explain!"
"That's right. The old prince should know how the food and grass problem was solved during King Xing's rebellion last time, right?"
Hearing Zeng Yi's words, the old prince's eyes also lit up, "Are you talking about those unruly people?"
"Yes, it's them. If they can issue tasks and give those people some small favors, I think they, who are greedy for money, will definitely help the court solve the food and grass problem!"
In fact, these NPCs don't really believe in players. After all, in their eyes, players are a group of people who are greedy for money, lustful, and have no credibility. Seeing that the old prince was still a little hesitant, Zeng Yi hurriedly said: "Old prince, time does not wait.
People, the soldiers in the north are fighting bloody battles, and the Khitans may break through the defense line at any time. If we don't increase the number of troops, no one knows what will happen!"
After looking at Zeng Yi, the old prince gritted his teeth and said, "Just do as you say! Try to take three to five days to solve the food and grass problem."
The imperial court acted very quickly. The food transportation tasks faced by the players were quickly announced, and the players also enthusiastically accepted the tasks. Although the rewards for this task were small, they were very safe. They were in the Central Plains along the way.
Don't worry about encountering enemies. They are just bandits and bandits at most. In fact, all players know about the war in the north, and many players have long wanted to go to the north. However, the north is still under martial law, and few players can break through. Boss
The three of them heard the news about transporting food and accepted the mission. In fact, the purpose of these guys was to go to the north smoothly.
The food was handed over to the players, and what was left was the elite army of the imperial court. Although it had not been completely assembled, there were 60,000 to 70,000 horses gathered in the capital. They were afraid that if they dragged on, something unexpected would happen. Zeng Yi and Lao
The prince suggested taking this part of the troops to the north first.
The old prince didn't think too much and directly agreed to Zeng Yi's suggestion. The day after returning to the capital, Zeng Yi set off again, but this time it was not him. Behind him was an elite army of 60,000 to 70,000 people from the imperial court.
As soon as the elite army of the imperial court moved, the enemy immediately knew the news. The 50,000 Khitan army on the border suddenly launched an extremely fierce offensive against the defense line of the northern army in the Central Plains. Shaotian commanded the troops to resist tenaciously. Seeing the enemy so crazy
, in fact, Huantian had already guessed that it must be the imperial court's elite army that was dispatched, and that was why the enemy was so eager to break through their defenses.
Zeng Yi led the imperial court's 60,000 to 70,000 elite troops and moved extremely fast. They marched all the way and rushed to the north in just one day. The NPCs arrived in the north. At the same time, the first batch of players to accept the mission, protecting the food and grass, also rushed
After arriving in the north, a large part of the players stayed.
The three bosses also arrived in the north smoothly. They knew everything. They didn't make random passes like other players. Instead, they ran to find Zeng Yi themselves. After a round with the boss and three others, Zeng Yi sent his troops
They were divided into three groups, two of which went to support Ming Ri and others, and the remaining group followed Zeng Yi straight to the middle road pass fortress.
When they arrived at the fortress, the Khitan army was launching a fierce attack on the defenders, almost in full force. The defenders were in a very difficult situation. On the one hand, the enemy brought out the prince to talk about things, which caused some problems with the morale of the soldiers in the north. On the other hand,
, the number of people is really quite disparate.
As soon as they arrived at the border, Zeng Yi immediately ordered his troops to launch a counterattack. "Follow me and kill!" 30,000 troops followed and charged forward. When the Khitan people saw the reinforcements from the Central Plains, their expressions were ugly. They were going to win, but they did not expect the reinforcements from the Central Plains at this time.
arrive.
Seeing the reinforcements, the troops in the northern part of the Central Plains immediately regained their morale. The presence of reinforcements proved that the country had not given up on them. Originally, the northern army had 30,000 people. Counting casualties, there were still more than 20,000. Plus today's 30,000 reinforcements,
In terms of numbers, the Central Plains army surpassed the Khitan for the first time. Zeng Yi and others immediately ordered the army to launch a counterattack.
Zeng Yi led the remaining blood-clothed guards, wearing golden armor and leading the way. The Khitan people also knew that the reinforcements from the Central Plains had arrived, and it was almost impossible to break through the defense line here. Not only was it impossible, but they might also be defeated.
The Central Plains resisted annihilation. The Khitan commander was more decisive. Seeing that there was no hope, he immediately ordered the troops to retreat.
With his troops, he chased the Khitans out of the border, and then Zeng Yi ordered the troops to stop. Zeng Yi really wanted to lead the army and break into the enemy's border, but in the current situation, Zeng Yi had to hold back. "
Marder, wait, I will one day lead an army to destroy you!"
