Li Chengfeng is not a person who has never seen the world. Whether it is the super blockbusters he has seen in his previous life, or the weird, thrilling or heroic scenes he has experienced in this life, he has experienced them all.
But when he witnessed hundreds of thousands of troops marching out, he was still deeply shocked.
Long Tenghai asked the imperial court for help after a tragic victory. The imperial court was unable to send out a large number of elite monks because of the massacre at the Shenjing Fighting Tournament. It only took its time to send out new monks such as Li Chengfeng, but for ordinary people The soldiers added without delay at all.
The imperial court mobilized some troops from Beijing camp and major prefectures and counties to reinforce Long Tenghai. After these troops were mobilized to Guangyuan City, after a short integration training, they were deployed to the front line.
These troops totaled 200,000 people. Although they were no longer the most elite front-line army, as cannon fodder, their number was still shocking.
What's even more terrifying is the large number of Xiang soldiers, civilians, craftsmen, and slaves that are several times 200,000. Their total number has directly climbed to one million. Li Chengfeng saw it and thought that this was Long Tenghai's preparation for the whole family. In a small wave, all the money is bet on it. If you win, you will win completely, and if you lose, you will lose everything.
It can be described as an earth-shattering gamble!
These more than one million people were transferred to the front line respectively. Even if there were direct trains to transport troops day and night, more manpower and material resources still had to be sent to the front line by ox carts, horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts and canals.
Looking from a high place, you can see these sturdy gray dragons winding along the earth, stretching from one end of the earth to the end of the connection between heaven and earth, with no end at a glance.
Because Li Chengfeng completely destroyed the flying warship, Long Tenghai and Gao Shenghan dared to march so openly in broad daylight without fear of bombing from the sky at any time and at any time. Therefore, the march on the ground started from Guangyuan without any cover. , on the road leading to the front line, long dragons crawling on the ground can be seen for hundreds of miles.
Thousands of sails blocked the sun at the wharf and canal of Guangyuan City. Countless tankers set sail carrying grain, grass, ordnance supplies. The wharf was full of sweating dock workers carrying packages and cargo. Their bronze bodies were covered with Sweat beads, even in winter, all of them were bare-chested, and their bodies were bent into arches, like organized ant colonies that continuously merged into the "ant nest", came out empty-handed, and then transported new goods in.
These fully loaded ships traveled down the river and arrived at Bailu City, Nanchuan City and Nanyangyuan respectively.
Among them, Baicun City and Nanchuan City are located on the east and west sides of the entire front, like two pincer-shaped iron pincers, threatening the left and right wings of the puppet country's front on both sides, while the Central Army is hoarding heavy troops in Nanyang Plains. Here is A vast plain with only one town in the middle, which is the fortress of the Puppet Kingdom: Sunshine City.
This city has been the main battleground for military strategists between the two sides over the years. Whoever captures this city will be able to control the Nanyang Plain, and whoever can control the Nanyang Plain will gain the initiative in the war.
This is the intersection of the Changsheng River and the Wansheng River, and the junction of the Holy Grail Mountains and the Holy Light Mountains of the Puppet Kingdom. From there, there is the most important fortress in the entire Puppet Kingdom: Gray Helmet Valley.
Although this fortress is the last line of defense of the Puppet Kingdom, it is also the most important line of defense, but everyone who knows war knows that once the war really advances to the foot of the Gray Helmet Valley, the Puppet Kingdom will be on the verge of destruction. Not far away.
Because with the strength of Daqi, once the army reaches the city, it means that they can blockade the Puppet Kingdom, and then continue to use the monks' high mobility and terrifying destructive power to continuously harass other parts of the Puppet Kingdom, and the Puppet Kingdom However, the country does not have enough strength and speed to keep up with the monks' high mobility and fight them head-on. Once the war progresses to this point, the defeat of the puppet country will be only a matter of time.
Therefore, for the Puppet Kingdom, their best way of war is to use offense instead of defense, constantly attacking military important places that Da Qi must rescue or fight, forcing the other party to mobilize heavy troops and elite monks to fight them head-on, and This place is Nanyang Plain.
Similarly, compared to Sunshine City, the most important military fortress in Daqi is: Nanyangyuan.
This is the base camp of the Chinese army on the front line, with more than 150,000 elite main forces gathered. Once this is breached, the entire Daqi front will collapse. Not only will the left and right wings collapse, but the rear front against Dijon will also collapse. Subsequently, it was shaken, and even the distance from Nanyangyuan to Guangyuan City was only four to five hundred miles, and the cavalry could reach the city in one day.
And once Guangyuan City is besieged, the entire southeast war zone will completely collapse!
In other words, whoever controls Sunshine City controls the Nanyang Plain, and whoever controls the Nanyang Plain can push the military line into the opponent's hinterland, and then: General!
When arriving at Nanyangyuan, Li Chengfeng saw this military fortress specially built for war from a distance. It was so huge that it was like a giant city. The tall and thick city walls were even comparable to Shenjing. After years of fighting, Da Qi spent time and again on manpower and material resources to build it into an indestructible one.
When the troops arrived at the city, the raised moat bridge alone was so high that it almost broke the soldiers' heads.
The moat is a full 350 meters wide. This is definitely the most terrifying width among the moats in Daqi!
When the suspension bridge was lowered, Li Chengfeng, who was lucky enough to be in the front row of the queue, felt as if the weight of a mountain was overwhelming. The shadow of the giant object covered the sky and the sun, and the sunlight above his head dimmed for a while.
When the huge moat was lowered, the earth trembled. The first people to enter the city were Long Tenghai, Gao Shenghan, Li Chengfeng and others, as well as the Central Guards and the monks recruited from various places to supplement the elite monks. .
The first thing to enter is the huge city cave. This city cave is not as tall as Shenjing, but it is extremely deep and thick. Unlike Shenjing, which is more majestic, its material is made of fine steel, and it is not only There are no complicated and fancy patterns, but there are many craters and bullet marks. These are its unique medals, telling the story of the tragic battles that happened to it.
Passing through the city cave, what comes to you is not the lively and noisy atmosphere of a city, but the tense and solemn atmosphere of a military camp. It seems that the smell of male hormones and gunpowder smoke is everywhere.
The bluestone floors of the street were also rolled by the wheels to create tracks. The wheels of the carriages creaked along these tracks. There were no curious people watching on the left and right, let alone women and children crossing the street to welcome them.
Except for female monks, there are almost no women here, and there are no camp prostitutes. Only the troops who have been transferred to the rear for rotation have the opportunity to enjoy this treatment in Guangyuan City.
Among the more than a thousand elite monks, there are at most one or two hundred female monks. When placed in this huge military camp that accommodates a million people, they are like a handful of pepper noodles sprinkled into the bathtub, and they are almost invisible.
As Long Tenghai's tall banner moved forward, the huge military camp gradually began to boil. All the soldiers knew that their top commander had come to the front line and was stationed on the front line. This meant that the decisive battle was coming. This It also means that regardless of victory or defeat, the war is coming to an end!
This battle has lasted too long, and an entire generation has been wasted on this land. They have long been tired of this battle, and they long for an end, regardless of victory or defeat.
Long Tenghai sat on a divine white horse. He walked all the way through the military camp and entered the Chinese army's tent. As soon as he sat down, when the generals in the tent gathered together to prepare for a meeting, suddenly a messenger came Someone shouted loudly outside: "General, an envoy from the Puppet State is here to visit!"
"oh?"
Long Tenghai and Gao Shenghan exchanged glances with each other. Long Tenghai was very strict in managing the army. They were not allowed to speak casually without military orders, and the generals had no choice but to exchange glances.
"Send the messenger in!" Long Tenghai said calmly.
Soon three tall, burly, blond and blue-eyed envoys from the Puppet Kingdom were brought in. The leader was wearing a red robe, with a gold and jade belt tied around his waist to show his identity: at least a The Duke, the two men next to him had a gold belt around their waists, they were at least an earl.
The Duke saluted Long Tenghai without being polite and said straight to the point: "Dear General, the endless war has made countless widows cry all night, and the blood of heroes dyed the sacred river red. , if the fight continues, there will be more sacrifices and tears. This battle should not continue. I, the Emperor of the Holy Crown Empire, sincerely invite you to hold talks in three days to discuss peace talks."
After that, he solemnly took out the post and submitted it respectfully.
After Gao Shenghan took it, he quickly glanced at it, and then handed it to Long Tenghai. After taking a look, Long Tenghai smiled slightly: "Okay."
The Duke smiled slightly and said: "Dear General, I wonder if one of the envoys who will return in three days can be designated to visit?"
Long Tenghai asked curiously: "Oh? Who do you want to visit?"
The Duke stared at Long Tenghai and said: "The distinguished Commander-in-Chief, His Highness Ulala, has designated that he wants to meet the warrior who shot down our Holy Court, Li Chengfeng!"
