"Attention all companies, emergency notification!"

Battalion Commander Xie Ruizhi shouted loudly, waving his hand.

The soldiers in the camp quickly arrived at the training ground.

A company commander ran up to Xie Ruizhi and asked, "Battalion Commander, what's wrong? Are we going to war?"

"You think you're so smart!"

Xie Ruizhi nodded and said, "Notify all departments to pack their bags immediately, take their supplies and equipment, and prepare to depart!"

The company commander quickly relayed the message.

An emergency assembly began throughout the camp.

For these soldiers, the news that they were going to fight was like fantastic news, making each of them feel excited and encouraged.

After all, it's been really stifling to be stuck in Yuguan City for so long.

Within 15 minutes, the entire camp had been assembled.

Each soldier carried their own belongings, including tents and other supplies for the camp.

At the same time, the other regiments and battalions of the Divine Valiant Army also began to assemble urgently.

The soldiers of the supply corps also carried all the tents, supplies, ammunition, food, and other necessities needed by the entire Divine Army.

An hour later, the entire valiant army had been assembled.

Looking at the soldiers before him, Wang Zhong, the valiant commander of the Shenyong Army, riding a tall horse, waved his hand casually and said, "Let's go!"

Immediately, Xie Rui ordered his troops to turn north and begin their advance.

The entire Divine Valiant Army, numbering over 20,000, marched towards the mountainous region north of Yuguan City. Their destination was to bypass the mountains, reach Changli County, and cut off the retreat route of Zhang Fuchen's enemy forces!

After the Shenyong Army departed, Li Xin began to coordinate the transportation of logistical supplies.

Autumn has arrived. In the north, autumn is short, and each autumn rain brings a chill.

Before long, with the biting north wind, it will snow.

When it snows, the sea routes will freeze over, making the transportation of logistical supplies extremely difficult.

Therefore, we should take advantage of this time to replenish our logistical supplies.

Food, weapons, ammunition, cotton clothing, and quilts must all be prepared.

This is also the greatest contribution we can make to the soldiers fighting on the front lines!

Not only in Yuguan City, but also in Dengzhou and Laizhou in Daiyue Province, a large amount of logistical supplies were transported.

Several ships carrying supplies were even transported to Changli County.

While coordinating the transportation of supplies, good news also came from Daiyue Province.

The Shenwu Army troops on the front lines of Dengzhou and Laizhou, led by Commander Liu Zheng, sped directly toward Linqing and Dezhou.

Since Li Ming in the capital dispatched troops from various regions to the north to support the emperor, most of the military force in Daiyue Province has been transferred away.

Today, Daiyue Province is almost completely deserted.

During the summer, the second and third batches of special operations forces were formed and deployed to Daiyue Province, where they also developed rapidly.

In just a few months, special operations forces in Daiyue Province have occupied a large area of ​​mountainous terrain near Daiyue Mountain.

Even the mountainous areas of Jiaodong were occupied by special operations forces.

Militia forces were also established in various prefectures and counties.

With the assistance of the militia, the Shenwu Army's operation did not encounter any obstacles.

On September 26, the Shenwu Army bypassed Weizhou, Qingzhou, and Daiyue City, heading straight for Linqing City.

The appearance of such a large army in the wilderness still alerted the Governor-General's Office of Daiyue Province.

Dai Yuecheng, Governor's Office.

Governor-General Weng Tongke of Daiyue had a gloomy face and asked, "Has the Prince Xin's army in the Dengzhou-Laizhou area really advanced westward?"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The advisor nodded and said, "In the past few days, news has been coming in from Weizhou, Qingzhou, Qihe, Gaotang and other places. Prince Xin's army has arrived at the Gaotang front!"

"Gaotang?"

Governor-General Weng Tongke of Daiyue frowned and said, "What are these Prince Xin's troops doing? Heading west all the way to Gaotang, could it be that their target is Linqing City?"

"Very likely!"

The advisor nodded and said, "Linqing City is an important commercial port along the Grand Canal and a crucial distribution center for grain and supplies. Most of the grain from Daiyue Province, and even Heluo Province, is transported to Linqing City by land, where it is loaded onto ships and shipped to the capital in the north. Currently, 70-80% of the military grain transport to the capital and the front lines at Yuguan City is related to Linqing City. If Linqing City falls, the grain supply to the capital in the north will be cut off! At that time, the capital will be in imminent danger!"

"this……"

Governor-General Weng Tongke of Daiyue sighed helplessly. Although he understood what his advisors were saying, he was powerless to change the current situation.

After all, the military strength of Daiyue Province is now almost depleted.

The remaining few thousand soldiers were mostly stationed in a few important cities such as Daiyue City and Linqing City to maintain order.

This time, the army of Prince Xin that entered Daiyue Province numbered over 20,000!

Moreover, in the Daiyue Mountains and Jiaodong Mountains, there are militia forces belonging to the Xinwang Army, which constantly threaten the nearby prefectures and counties.

The situation in the entire Daiyue Province is extremely precarious!

There's practically no way to save Linqing City!

well!

Governor-General Weng Tongke of Daiyue sighed and shook his head, saying, "Now, we can only report the situation in Daiyue Province to the capital and ask His Majesty and Chancellor Song to make a decision!"

"This is the only way!"

The aide nodded and said, "Your Excellency, I will draft a memorial immediately."

"good!"

Weng Tongke nodded in reply.

While the Daiyue Governor's Office was helpless, the Shenwu Army, located in the Gaotang area, rested for half a day and then approached Linqing City again.

News from the Gaotang area also reached Linqing City.

When the shops and fleets in Linqing City learned that Prince Xin's army was rushing towards Linqing City, it was like pouring cold water into a pot of oil, causing an instant uproar.

The entire city of Linqing was in an uproar.

On the canal, some fleets, without even bothering to load grain, set sail and left Linqing City.

Upon hearing the news, the boatmen and porters at the dock were somewhat alarmed and quickly left Linqing City.

Even some shops in the city hurriedly closed their doors.

After all, everyone knew that there were not many troops in Linqing City, and that once the Prince of Xin's army arrived, they would inevitably occupy Linqing City.

If we stay here, we'll probably only face death.

Therefore, all these people wanted to leave Linqing City as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, the garrison in Linqing City was even more terrified.

The entire city of Linqing now has only three or four thousand people.

In the entire Daiyue Province, it still has the largest number of troops!

However, three or four thousand men facing the army of Prince Xin, which numbered over twenty thousand, was like throwing an egg against a rock.

When Zhou Zhifa, the general of Linqing, learned of this news, he paced anxiously in the room, his brow furrowed, muttering, "What to do, what to do!"
