At the beginning, Han Qiumiao came to the southern border for two purposes, one was to purchase building materials, and the other was to return the recruits that the King of Zhennan lent to Zhou Xingyun for construction.
Now that the barbarian army was attacking, the King of Zhennan handed over his new soldiers to Han Qiumiao so that she could resist the barbarian army.
Han Qiumiao had 130,000 troops, which seemed like a lot, but the number of enemies was even greater.
The barbarian army that can be seen with the naked eye exceeds one million. Taking into account those lurking in the dark and the uncountable reserves, the number may exceed three million.
Han Qiumiao had to use 130,000 troops to block the rushing and spreading offensive of a million troops. It was really difficult for him to go to the blue sky.
It was difficult enough to resist the millions of troops from the Thirteen Kingdom Alliance. Han Qiumiao also had to consider the situation of the people in the south.
The barbarian army marched very quickly, and the ordinary people in the southern border were not as good at light kung fu as the warriors.
Han Qiumiao receives countless letters asking for help every day, probably about how many innocent people are being chased and trapped in a certain place, and someone needs to be sent to rescue them.
Can Han Qiumiao ignore them until death?
To be honest, everyone who can be saved must be saved. The people of the Central Plains are not only the foundation of the country, they will also become the guarantee of our army.
The innocent people rescued can help with logistical chores, such as cooking and laundry, taking care of wounded soldiers, making medicine, etc...
Therefore, Han Qiumiao must rescue the victims as much as possible, so that they can become a viable force for our army.
So far, almost all the masters of the nine major national protection sects have been sent by Han Qiumi to rescue people and guard the transportation arteries in the southern border. Currently, the only people she can mobilize are some warriors from the southern sects and more than 20,000 ordinary people.
Soldier.
To be honest, Han Qiumiao can conclude that blind defense will definitely not be able to stop the army of the Thirteen Kingdom Alliance. They must seize the opportunity to counterattack, just like the Pingxi Army cut off the main force of Danxia Kingdom in order to stop the enemy's offensive.
"Do you want us to lead people to attack the handsome camp?" Xia Long frowned. Although she was wearing a mask, Han Qiumiao couldn't see her frown, but from the tone of her voice, it could be heard that she was dissatisfied with such an arrangement.
.
To be sure, Xia Lu misunderstood what Han Qiumiao meant. Han Qiumiao mentioned that the Pingxi Army successfully attacked Danxia Kingdom's commander's camp and broke off the offensive of one of the main forces of the Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance. He did not really want Xia Lu and Tina.
Imitate the Pingxi Army.
"No. I don't mean that. Given our geographical location, it is impossible to cut off the enemy's front line from the side like the Pingxi Army did." Han Qiumiao took a breath and continued to say to Tina and Xia Lu: "I
It means seizing the opportunity to counterattack, one step ahead of the enemy, and seizing the mountain road they must pass through."
Han Qiumiao spread out the map and pointed to a mountain road for Xia Long and Tina to take a closer look.
The mountain road here is very special. It is a fork in the road. After it is captured, it is like a nail stuck in the middle of the war zone, and can support all directions at any time.
In addition, this mountain road is also the only way to the central area of the southern border. If the Wulin Alliance can seize the mountain road, it will naturally block the march of the barbarian army.
However, blocking the march of the barbarian army was not the reason why Han Qiumiao had to seize the mountain road.
Han Qiumiao's biggest worry was that once the barbarian army took control of the mountain road, it would be very difficult for them to counterattack.
In short, after the Thirteen-Nation Alliance army fully controls this special mountain road, it can use this to demarcate the border and cut it off from the central area of the Southern Territory to consolidate the Southern Territory territory they currently occupy. At that time, the other party will be equivalent to annexing the Southern Territory of the Central Plains.
The large area of land to the south and the capital city located to the south of the southern border have all become turtles in the urn.
"Seize?" Xia Lu heard the key word, and Han Qiumiao used "seize", which means that this mountain road is currently in an idle state with no one occupying it.
"It cannot be said that it is unoccupied." Han Qiumiao told Xia Lu and Tina the situation of the mountain road in detail.
The mountain road is located among rugged mountains, like a relay station extending in all directions. It is supposed to be an important transportation thoroughfare to promote trade in the south, and is guarded by more than 500 military police garrison.
However, it has now fallen into the hands of Nanman warriors...
The Southern Barbarian warriors lurking in Wuwei City, including Wu Feng and others, ran to the Wulin Alliance and destroyed the scene before disappearing without a trace.
It was not until a few days ago that Han Qiumiao learned that after Wu Feng left Wuwei City, he immediately led a group of people to capture the mountain road. Now they are stationed on the mountain road, waiting for the barbarian army to come for reinforcements.
On the other side, the army of the Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance also sent more than 5,000 cavalry as the advance troops, rushing towards the mountain road non-stop.
It is estimated that within a day or two, the enemy's more than 5,000 cavalry will be able to join forces with Wu Feng.
In other words, if the Martial Arts Alliance seizes the hilltop, the enemies it needs to face will be more than 5,000 barbarian cavalry, as well as Wufeng Senior and other southern barbarian warriors.
Han Qiumiao felt that if Xia Lu and Tina were willing to help, the Martial Arts Alliance might be able to seize the top of the mountain before the main expedition force of the Lingcheng Kingdom arrived.
When the time comes, Han Qiumiao will move the Wulin Alliance's headquarters there, and this mountain road will become the central hub for the Central Plains' counterattack against the barbarian invaders!
Han Qiumiao told Xia Lu and Tina his plan in an orderly manner, and then looked at the two women slightly uneasily.
To be honest, at this moment, Han Qiumiao didn't know whether Xia Lu and Tina were willing to assist her.
Tina has a distinguished status and is the princess of the Western country. Under normal circumstances, as foreign envoys, they would definitely not want to interfere in the power struggle of the Eastern country.
In the past, Tina and Xia Long were asked to help Zhenbeiqi with the logistical 'housework', but now they were asked to go out into battle to kill the enemy. It was really... Han Qiumiao felt that she was a bit shameless.
However, considering that Dai Shida and Selvinia followed Zhou Xingyun, Han Qiumi could only be shameless and hope that Tina and Xia Lu could help.
However, Han Qiumiao was already prepared to be rejected by the two women. After all, from her point of view, the relationship between Xia Lu and Tina was really... a one-sided friendship.
Han Qiumiao thought carefully about what unbreakable bond there was between Tina and Xia Long.
Han Qiumiao thought about it, but found that there was no life-or-death experience between them, and there was no long-lasting relationship between them. Tina and Xia Lu were just helping them in vain.
To generate electricity with love, at least there must be love. Where is their love? If they don’t even have feelings, how can they use love to generate electricity?
However, what Han Qiumiao didn't expect was that after thinking for half a minute, Tina agreed to her: "We can help you, as long as you explain the plan in detail and make us think it is feasible."
"Thank you." Han Qiumiao thanked Tina and Xia Long while secretly guessing that Zhou Xingyun might have done something to them when he traveled to the Western Continent more than ten years ago, right?
"Her Highness the Princess and I are participating in the war in our personal capacity. This does not represent the position of our country." Xia Long added tepidly. Although her words were somewhat redundant, she still had to mention them.
In fact, Xia Lu and Tina were willing to help Han Qiumiao simply because she and Zhou Xingyun were both trustworthy friends.
If we have to talk about intrigues, Tina just thinks Zhou Xingyun is trustworthy, so she sells him favors in advance, so that when she needs help from Zhou Xingyun in the future, Zhou Xingyun will do his best to help her.
"I know. But I still thank you from the bottom of my heart." Han Qiumiao smiled indifferently. Tina and Xia Lu were willing to help, so she was satisfied and had nothing to ask for.
Today is the official day of the decisive battle. A group of warriors from the southern border rushed to the "Thunder Gate Road" under the leadership of Tina and Xia Long.
Leimen Road is what Han Qiumiao said a few days ago, a special mountain road that leads into the central area of the southern border of the Central Plains.
Kaminarimon Road is located in the rugged mountains and is the central hub leading to Nanjing Nan District.
Only by retaking Leimen Road and opening up the transportation fortress in the southern area of the Southern Territory can the Wulin Alliance organize a counterattack and regain the Southern Territory from the barbarian army.
Assuming that the Wulin Alliance cannot recapture Leimen Road, Leimen Road falls into the hands of the barbarian army.
?????????????p Once the main force of the Thirteen-Nation Alliance arrives at Thunder Gate Road, it can use it as a relay station to continue spreading to the central area of the southern border.
If that time comes, let alone a counterattack, it will be a question whether the Wulin Alliance can even defend the central area of the southern border.
Therefore, Han Qiumiao had no choice but to ask Xia Long and Tina to help out in this crucial battle, allowing them to lead the righteous warriors from the south to seize the 'Thunder Gate Road'.
Han Qiumiao sincerely hoped that Xia Long and Tina could force Wu Feng back.
The righteous warriors in the southern border may feel a little dissatisfied with Han Qiumiao's arrangements in their hearts, because they cannot understand why Han Qiumiao allowed two foreigners to command them.
However, this is also the only solution. The talents that Han Qiumiao can mobilize are very limited...
The Thirteen-Nation Alliance army was too large. In order to contain the enemy's offensive, Han Qiumiao sent out almost all the capable men in his hands.
You must know that the Alliance of Thirteen Nations has thirteen main armies. If Han Qiumiao wants to contain their offensive, he can only fight with all his strength.
Qian Chenke, who originally stayed in Wuwei City and was responsible for protecting Han Qiumiao, now returned to his old profession and led a group of warriors to the capital to form an army of his own to fight against the barbarian army.
Now, only Bai Banxie, He Qinghai, Sun Fangjin and other warriors from the Jianghu sect in the southern border stayed with Han Qiumiao.
The reason for Han Qiumiao's arrangement was that the Jianghu sect in the Southern Border was in a very special situation. Bai Banxie and others stayed at the Wulin Alliance's base camp so that they could better accommodate and accommodate those Southern warriors who had no choice but to abandon their sect and seek assistance from the Wulin Alliance.
In short, Bai Banxie and others are locals, and they have very good connections in the Southern Territory. It would be best for Bai Banxie and others to handle matters related to the Jianghu Road in the Southern Territory.
If people from the nine major country-protecting sects were allowed to settle the warriors from the Jianghu sects in the southern border, there might be chaos.
As for why Han Qiumiao asked Tina and Xia Long to unify the martial arts warriors in the southern border, it was simply because most of the martial arts warriors lacked strategic thinking and had no experience in marching and fighting.
The Jianghu sect in Shangjing is not bad. The former martial arts alliance has more or less experience in uniting to fight against evil.
Qian Chenke is also a half-assed leader. He once led the world of righteousness in the "Annals of the Four Martial Lords" and fought against the evil demon lord at the peak of his battle.
