On December 5th, the sky cleared, and an army of 180,000 Baize mercenaries left Xiping City with great strength, leaving only less than 5,000 people guarding the imperial city. At the same time, they took more than 10,000 from Xiping City. Bingyong served as a reserve army.
Lin Muyu, Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi were mixed in the group of counsellors, all dressed in black robes. All counselors were hidden in the dark. This is the reason for wearing black robes. They never show their true colors. It's just that a black cloth-wrapped sword hilt protrudes from the cloak behind Lin Muyu, which makes people feel a little depressed. Even if this man is a counselor, he is a good counselor, not as weak as others.
Sikongyao rode his horse and walked side by side with Lin Muyu. The army drove magnanimously, the cavalry cleared the way, and the grain truck was postponed. Because it was a local battle, it was unnecessary to carry too much grain and grass. After entering the Dongning Province, the local government office To prepare food for the army in the near future.
The cold wind howled and bitter, blowing the battle flag and hunting.
Sikongyao squinted a pair of beautiful eyes and said: "Brother Ayu, we just got news that Chen Yu's army has surrounded Dongning City, and Gong Shangming led nearly 300,000 troops to guard in Dongning City. There are nearly 200,000 scattered troops, and Chen Yu’s siege has a strength of 500,000. What should we do? If the internal and external forces are combined, there may be a certain chance of victory."
－√, "Didn't Chen Yu still have nearly 400,000 troops out of use? These 400,000 people can attack us at any time. If we really go to clear the siege, I'm afraid we will become a key target."
Lin Muyu smiled faintly: "Furthermore, Ayao, our 180,000 army was pulled together by you and Bu Yi hard. This time, I have no plans to put your 180,000 army on the frontal battlefield."
"Are we not going to fight a frontal war?" Sikong Yao was shocked.
Even Liu Buyi was stunned: "Lin Shuai, how can we break the enemy if we don't fight the frontal battlefield? This Chen Yu's army of one million is not paper-cut, it can be blown away in one breath, no I'm afraid they don't even know how good they are, and it is impossible to withdraw from Dongning Province."
"I know, let's talk about it after entering Dongning Province, have our scouts been released?"
"Let it out."
"I must give me a detailed layout and supply route map of Chen Yu's army within three days."
"Yes!"
Tang Xiaoxi rode the horse leisurely, looking at the scenery on both sides, there is no need to worry about Lin Muyu sitting in the Baize mercenary, after all, Lin Muyu has fought for so many years, and he has excellent talents in itself, enough for the group of the polar continent. As long as Lin Muyu wants to win, it is impossible not to win.
Qin Yin also secretly opened the Eye of Yan Xi to look at the surrounding scenery. She has learned to control the field power of Eye of Yan Xi. Although she has not yet reached the point of being able to retract and retract freely, she can still open her eyes. Time is no longer indiscriminately coercive attacks, at least when she is not hostile, people around will not feel too strong a sense of oppression.
"It turns out that the snow scene of the Celestial Continent is so beautiful." Qin Yin whispered.
Lin Muyu also lowered her voice and said with a chuckle: "Well, but Xiao Yin doesn't need to worry. Sooner or later, every inch of land here belongs to us, and the entire Celestial Continent will be included in our version of Daqin."
Qin Yin trembled slightly: "Is my brother really determined to make an expedition across the sea?"
"Well, but it will take some time, as long as three years, or as little as a year. We need to prepare enough to make a decision." Lin Muyu looked straight at her and said, "Xiaoyin, do you think I have changed?"
"Well, it's a little bit." Qin Yin nodded: "If you put it in the past, Ayu brother will probably not take the initiative to attack others."
"There is no way, preemptive strikes, late strikes and be controlled by others." Lin Muyu sighed and said with deep eyes: "When you know that the other party will launch a fatal blow, you can no longer be a woman. I don't want to let me care anymore. People died one by one and left me."
"Well, Xiaoyin will support you very much."
"After the unification, shall we ascend? The Devil Emperor and Fairy Zi Yao of the Eastern Heavenly Court will definitely expect us to ascend. After ascending, we will be named in the Celestial Book of Immortals."
"Ok!"
…
Three days later, heavy snow fell in the sky again, and the army finally entered Dongning Province, less than five hundred miles away from the battlefield of Dongning City.
But Lin Muyu instructed Sikongyao to pass on the order not to go to Dongning City at full speed, but to rest once a day at the prefectures and counties along the way, and the distance traveled was no more than fifty miles a day. At the same time, he kept sending out messages of scouts to explore the battlefield. King Ji gave Baize mercenaries ten wolf falcons and orc trainers, which played an excellent role as a scout.
In the evening, Xian County.
Xianjun is not rich, it is just a small prefecture in Dongning Province, with a population of nearly 200,000. It is engaged in farming, fishing and hunting. Sikongyao has the token of the county owner, and is warmly entertained by the prefect of Xianjun and serves as an army. When I arrived outside the county city in the evening and set up camp, a large amount of food, weapons, cattle and sheep were sent to the city. Therefore, it was not a problem to slaughter pigs and cattle to comfort the three armies.
The Central Army tents of the Baize mercenaries are very tightly guarded, and even the prefect of Xianjun is not allowed to enter. However, when Liu Buyi opened the tent door and walked in, he found that Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, Sikongyao and others were cooking bull heads. For the hot pot, I got a large piece of beef thigh from the gift of the prefect of Xianjun, which is just right for the hot pot.
Liu Buyi sat down honestly and grinned openly: "Wow, I didn't expect to have an extra meal tonight, there will be something delicious!"
Sikongyao glared at him: "Has the task been completed?"
"It's done!"
Liu Buyi took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Sikong Yao.
Sikongyao handed it back to Lin Muyu, saying, "Brother Ayu, take a look, just ask me if you don't understand. I have traveled through Dongning Province many times and I am familiar with it."
"Ok."
Lin Muyu sat cross-legged and unfolded the scroll with a "wow". This is a large map of Dongning Province and Tianji Province, and red ink has marked the deployment and camps of the 900,000 troops under Chen Yu's control. , The troop strength and the supply route, Lin Muyu was silent for a long time, and slowly put down the map.
"What's the matter?" Qin Yin asked.
Lin Muyu took a deep breath: "Chen Yu really deserves to be Chen Yu, and it is never comparable to the stupid emperors of Qin Yi, Bei Mingyuan, and Shi Yuan. You see, his 500,000 army surrounded Dongning City and blocked it. After all the outbound passages of Dongning City, the other 400,000 troops were divided into eight branches. Three of them were deployed to the southeast of Dongning City to guard against reinforcements from the Blackstone Empire, and the other five were deployed in a pentagonal position right north of us. The five armies can help each other at any time, and these 250,000 people are used to stop us."
Sikong Yao squinted his eyes and said: "These 250,000 people are the Jue Bing regiment, the army ruled by Zhou Binlong, in the army of the Tianjue Empire, except for the Tianjue Corps ruled by the King of Dongcheng, it is ranked first. In addition to combat power, the Jue Bing regiment is second-class. Chen Yu dispatched the Jue Bing regiment to deal with us, but he really looks up to the Baize mercenary!"
At this moment, there was a burst of dragon roars above the head.
"It's the Dragon Knight!" Tang Xiaoxi was startled slightly.
Qin Yin moved the palm of her hand slightly, and the surrounding luxuriant jade fingers suddenly filled with a faint divine luster, and asked: "Brother Ayu, there is no dragon knight in the Baize mercenary. It must be the dragon knight of the Tianjue Empire spying on us. , Do you want to get rid of them?"
"No need."
Lin Muyu shook his head: "Don't worry about it. If you want to see it, let it have a good time. Let's continue to eat. If it is not a last resort, the three of us should not expose ourselves. I don't want to officially break with Chen Yu for the time being, after all. We are still an alliance on the surface."
"Ok."
Sikongyao became a little uneasy, and frowned her eyebrows lightly: "So... Brother Ayu, we are less than four hundred miles away from the Dijue Corps. Their cavalry can rush here day and night. Do they really want to wait and die?"
"Ayao, you have to pass the order to strengthen your guard. You must dig fortifications and bury the antlers immediately after you set up camp. The pikemen are stationed on the periphery, and the archers are second, and the cavalry is in the middle. Soldiers plus archers, are you afraid that a tired cavalry will fail?"
Sikongyao suddenly smiled softly and nodded: "Yeah, I understand."
At this moment, Sikongyao felt that Lin Muyu was really a peerless star, as if he could win the game as long as he was around, and there was no need to worry about anything. Lin Muyu unconsciously revealed the calmness and self-confidence when he gave the order. Sikongyao had never seen her before, and the girl's heart throbbed, but in front of Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi, Sikongyao could only restrain this emotion. Becoming a younger sister should be a younger sister. It would be better to be commensurate with the brothers and sisters you like than strangers.
Liu Buyi rubbed his hands: "Eat hot pot, eat hot pot!"
Lin Muyu glared at him: "Eat a woolen yarn, you can come and eat it after you give a new order."
"Huh? There are orders?"
"Well, let the scout team go out again."
"Why, haven't you spied out detailed military information?"
"The distribution of grain and grass, the amount of grain to be collected, the quantity and details of the transportation of the grain, these are all needed. If it is only a rough probe, this kind of news will harm the entire army."
"Yes, the subordinate understands."
Liu Buyi was solemn, put his helmet in his armpit and bowed before going out.
Qin Yin was a little surprised, and said, "Brother Ayu, what are your plans?"
"Food, or food."
Lin Muyu said to herself: "The 900,000 people of the Tianjue Empire entered Dongning Province, and almost all of the county towns along the way surrounded Dongning City with soldiers, so most of the food for the Tianjue Empire They were transported from the mainland, but the two places were separated by such a large forest of no return. Their food path must have been approved by the demon emperor female murderer, so... we only need to cut off the food path and send someone to burn them secretly. The granary, just imagine how much food 900,000 people need to eat a day, how can they hoard enough? In less than five days, they will kill horses to satisfy their hunger, and within half a month, I am afraid that the Tianjue Empire will collapse without fighting. , Once they flee without cavalry, our cavalry will be able to hunt down, 900,000 troops... Hey, it would be nice to be able to return half of the rest to the Tianjue Empire."
Sikongyao opened her mouth wide. This is the true calculation. This is the insight that Ming Jiang has. Liu Buyi and others only want to fight the battle in front of them, but Lin Muyu has already thought about the battle in a month's time. , The ability to master war is extremely different.
