Thunderous drums resounded through the sky, the green grassland was covered by white tents, and hundreds of thousands of grassland people galloped on horseback.
In front of them was a tall city. There were a large number of horses and various kinds of timber scattered outside the city. A river flowed in front of the city wall in one direction.
This city is the largest city among the twelve cities in the north built by Daqian to fight against the grassland, Zhenbei City!
This city was initially a nail that Dagan drove into the hearts of the grassland people. After Dagan destroyed the grassland and brought the entire empire of the grassland people into the hands of the empire, this city changed from a fortress to an economic powerhouse.
After surrendering on the grassland, the fortresses built by Daqian in various places turned into important economic areas. The soldiers left and no longer had the responsibility of military fortresses.
Only in Zhenbeicheng, because of the vast grassland, there are still many people who do not obey Dagan's attacks. Those who refuse to admit defeat are often raised banners on the grassland to resist Dagan.
Sometimes they got entangled and many people and horses resisted together. In order to deal with these people and make the grassland people quieter, Daqian did not retreat from the city.
This city has had defensive facilities and various magic circles for thousands of years.
When the people on the grassland and the ferocious beasts came to fight, the troops guarding the city immediately spread the news that the people on the grassland had betrayed Daqian. Most of the defenders in the city came from the Far North Legion, and the soldiers defended to the death.
This is a nail that Dagan has driven into the prairie people, and it is also the last city that Dagan still holds in his hands.
If Zhenbei City is taken away by the grassland, there will no longer be a city on the grassland!
Li Zhen brought his army to the north and immediately contacted the army in Zhenbei City. The army in this city came from the Far North Army of the Frontier Army.
The Far North Legion is stationed in the Far North Icefield, and has to fight against the ferocious beasts on the ice field every year. The combat effectiveness of the Far North Legion far exceeds that of ordinary armies.
The Far North Legion is divided into three parts. The largest part of the soldiers guards the Far North to block the ferocious beasts. The remaining small number of soldiers can return to the Daqian Imperial Capital for three years. In fact, the emperor does not trust the troops in the Far North. , every three years, some soldiers from the Far North Legion will return to the Imperial Capital to serve as members of the Imperial Capital Guard.
This is a good policy for the soldiers of the Far North Legion, as they can escape from the cold and dark ice fields.
However, those who can go to the Imperial Capital are usually those who are about to complete the ten-year military system. After the ten-year military system is over, they can choose to continue serving as soldiers, or they can choose to go home.
The rest of the army will take turns going to Zhenbei City to guard these people on the grassland!
The grassland people launched a fierce attack on the Far North Legion and fought on the city wall several times, but they were always beaten back by the soldiers of the Far North Legion.
The 50,000 soldiers of the Far North Legion in the city organized the civilians in the city and organized these civilians into a militia of 50,000 people. They were well-trained and dedicated to serving the war during the war.
The officers of the Far North Army controlled the entire Zhenbei City, and the grassland people in the city were guarded by the militia. The Far North Army did not trust these very much. They only believed in the Dagan people, and the Dagan people were their own people.
Zhenbei City is a military fortress. Although it has become a commercial capital in recent years, Zhenbei City's magic circle, other city walls, armaments and other things are all intact, and the food can feed the entire fortress for five months. .
Five months is enough for the imperial capital to react!
After the great changes in the northern army, Li Zhen came to the northern land. He first took over the northern army in the hands of the prince, and then contacted Zhenbeicheng. It is very likely that other cities have been captured by the prairie people, but Zhenbeicheng will definitely not !
After contacting Zhenbei City, Li Zhen led the army to reorganize and move northward. Behind the Twelve Fortresses is the Northern Defense Front from a thousand years ago. This is a Great Wall, but it has been abandoned for many years.
But it still plays an important role. If it weren't for this Great Wall, the prairie people's cavalry would have already reached the northern lands.
Daqian's army rushed to the northern defense front, and the prairie people's army gathered outside the northern defense front. As long as Li Zhen's troops rushed out of the Great Wall, their cavalry dared to rush over. They came to see what Daqian's troops would be a thousand years later. What kind of army.
The grassland people chose to take action at this time because they saw that the armaments in various parts of Daqian were depleted, several huge martial arts sects in Daqian were restless, and several princes in the imperial capital always wanted to sit on that throne.
This is the last hope of the grassland people. If Daqian still fails to succeed this time, after Daqian has experienced chaos among several princes, with the wisdom in the hearts of those princes, it won't be long before a Daqian emperor with lofty ambitions will appear.
The entire Daqian Dynasty will undergo tremendous changes as a result.
They grassland people don’t have time to wait for another thousand years, those adults have already reached the end of time and space’!
After contacting the Monster Clan and the East China Sea Dragon Clan, the prairie people launched a riot.
Their initial purpose was to take back the grassland of their ancestors, and then find an opportunity to slowly devour the giant dragon Daqian!
The grassland people don't care about the Monster Clan and the Eastern Dragon Clan in the south. Anyway, they have decided to resist, and they must fight to the end.
They are now like arrows leaving the bow. They can only fly forward with all their strength and rush forward with all their strength. No matter whether there is iron or stone in front of them, even if they are smashed into pieces, they will still rush forward.
If Daqian takes back the grassland, there will be endless slaughter waiting for them, and the entire grassland will most likely turn into a purgatory!
Daqian has always hated traitors!
Once they are defeated by Daqian's army, what awaits them will be massacre!
The guard of the Far North Army stood on the wall of Zhenbei City. The grassland people in the distance were formally building various siege weapons, hoping to rely on those siege weapons to break through the wall of Zhenbei City and pull out this nail.
"Sir, here is a letter from Marshal Li Zhen!" Li Zhen commanded the Northland army and naturally became a marshal.
Li Zhen's qualifications in Daqian were that no one in his generation could compete with him except Yu Chijing. Maybe after the old Taiwei came down, Li Zhen would be the next Taiwei to take charge of the Daqian army.
Li Zhen once served as the deputy commander of the Far North Army and had a good relationship with the Far North Army, and he still has contact with him to this day.
"Say!" Yu Cheng said coldly.
"Marshal Li Zhen said in his letter that the prairie people do not want the army to connect with Zhenbei City. There are currently 200,000 prairie cavalry blocking the road. It will take about two months to reach the outside of the city. General, please guard Zhenbei City! "
"Two months!" Yu Cheng looked at the endless tents outside the city, running like a thundering prairie cavalry: "Reply to the letter, I will try my best!"
"Yes!" The ordering soldier strode away.
Yu Cheng said to the soldiers on the side: "Recruit another 30,000 militiamen!"
The soldier looked troubled: "General, there are only a hundred thousand young people in the city..."
"Then let's conquer them all!" Yu Cheng held the hilt of the knife in his hand and his eyes were slightly cold: "The grassland people have already reached the city, and you still want to escape? You should also keep an eye on those grassland people!"
"yes!"
....
"Tito, what are you waiting for? Wouldn't it be better to just throw the dead bodies in and turn this city into a dead city?" A big man with pigtails, fat head and big ears said.
Sitting on the tent owner's seat, Tito, who looked less like a prairie man and more like a Dagan man, looked at the people below and said: "What we need is a portal, not a dead city, and there are many more in Zhenbei City. There are few Taoist priests who don’t care about secular wars, but when we use viruses, do you think those people will not take action?”
The fat man with pigtails sneered: "If they take action, won't we shamans take action? After accepting evil masters in these years, can't we also take action?
I think you are afraid!"
An old man raised his head: "Tu Gang, those monks don't move whenever they want. Some time ago we besieged Qingsong Lao Dao, but failed to kill them and were exposed. Now Qingsong Sect is searching like crazy. At this time , if we take action again, what is waiting for us is to be attacked by the Dao Sect!"
A scholar said: "The Taoist monks in the Taoist sect usually look like they are gods and gods, doing some unreasonable things, but when they get serious, they can fight against the Taoist world, and they can also The only ones that can suppress the monastic world are the martial arts world and the Daqian Army!"
"Qingsong Old Taoist was attacked and besieged by us. Now those people in the monastic world have not found Qingsong, and they are feeling angry in their hearts. At this time, if we use poison, those people in the monastic world will come and kill them. They won't They kill just because they don’t want to damage their own destiny, but when they are angry, who will care about this!"
The scholar with blue hair and white robes continued: "At present, we are the only ones who are at war with Dagan. We can no longer provoke the monks. We will not care until the monsters and dragons appear on the scene and Dagan is in chaos!"
"There are so many masters in Daqian, we need to be careful!" the scholar sighed.
The more you understand, the more you understand how powerful Da Gan is. If you give them a little more time to become stronger, maybe the chance of success this time will be much greater.
It is a pity that Daqian will not give them too long. After the succession of the throne in Daqian is over, nothing can stop Daqian, a huge ship, from continuing to move forward.
This is their last chance. The ferocious beasts and heavy snow have arrived!
Fatty suddenly said: "Then what do you think we should do? Let our people die?"
"The wall of Zhenbei City is five feet high, and there is a powerful magic circle on the wall, which makes it impossible for people to fly over. The troops guarding the city are the troops of the Far North Army. There are two armies, the Far North Army and the Northwest Great Wall Army. It is further north, eyeing it with eager eyes and heading south at any time. If we can't pull out this nail quickly, we will face Li Zhen!"
As soon as the name Li Zhen came out, everyone in the big tent felt a lot of pressure. The name Li Zhen was not blown out. In Daqian, Li Zhen could be said to have fought in the south and the north. Wherever there was a war in his youth, he would be sent to There have been hundreds of battles, big and small, and you must be the first to win every battle!
Relying on his military exploits, Li Zhen gained such a reputation!
"With siege vehicles, the maximum number of troops in the city is 100,000 men. How can we, 200,000 warriors, be afraid of these big men?" Tito saw the people below heard Li Zhen's name and everyone fell silent, so he said: "I The grassland warriors lost to Da Gan back then because they were unable to fight on foot. Now, thousands of years have passed, our soldiers can fight on foot or on horseback, and they can conquer cities and territories without any of them!"
"Don't you even believe in our prairie warriors?" Tito knew that some people in Da Gan were like thunder to the people on the grasslands. He must let the army break their fear of Da Gan's army!
The troops of the Far North Legion in this city are a good opportunity to destroy the Far North Legion and break the invincibility of the Dagan Border Army.
Thinking about Tito, he continued: "Tomorrow, our unit will be the first to leave the station. You just need to watch from behind!"
.....
Abandoned Great Wall
Five hundred thousand troops slowly entered the abandoned Great Wall. This Great Wall had been abandoned for thousands of years. Like thousands of years ago, Daqian attached great importance to the reinforcement of this Great Wall. The monks and warriors arranged formations together to let this Great Wall pass. It still exists after thousands of years.
"Sir, there are only 100,000 people left on the Great Wall Legion. These 100,000 people still need to pay attention to Xuantian Sect, as well as the ferocious beasts and sinners outside the pass!"
Li Zhen put his hands on the hilt of the long sword: "Outside the Northwest Pass, Xuantian Sect, the ferocious beast, ask them to send fifty thousand people over. If they dare to move over there, Xuantian Sect, don't blame me for not giving face!"
Li Zhen looked at the major martial arts sects in Da Qian. In his eyes, these martial arts sects were just a bunch of worms. They were not productive and occupied a large amount of fields. If these sects were not powerful and were really destroyed, the losses would be huge and the empire would suffer a lot. In its heyday, it was okay.
such a pity!
Li Zhen shook his head and asked a guard next to him: "How is the investigation in Xiliang?"
"There is very little information on Xiliang City. There is no human spy who can enter Xiliang. They seem to have special reconnaissance methods that can distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
However, it is currently known that Xiliang City has a group of cavalry, and the battle between Xiliang City and the Qing Army was also because of the hidden cavalry in Xiliang, so they did not dare to fight decisively!"
"Oh?" Li Zhen smiled: "Have you found out how many troops there are in Xiliang, and what is Xiliang's next goal?"
The guard said: "The next goal of Xiliang City should be to unify the outside of the pass, and the goal after unifying the outside of the pass should be to enter the pass!"
"Enter the customs!" The smile on Li Zhen's face became wider: "It seems that he is still unwilling to give in. Send someone to contact them. If possible, let them enter the customs. The grassland needs manpower!"
"I will send someone to find out!" the guard said: "There is news from the grassland that Taoist priest Qingsong in the monastic world was besieged and attacked on the grassland and escaped with serious injuries. The spies outside the Northwest Pass came to report that it seems that he went north under the command of Prime Minister Li. Xuancheng saw an old Taoist who looked somewhat similar to Taoist Qingsong!"
"Taoist Priest Qingsong, let someone go check it out!" Li Zhen let out a long sigh: "I'm afraid there will be another century-long war!"
