Chapter 1043 Emergency Military Information

"Your Majesty, urgent battle report from the northeastern front!"

At that moment, Zhou Xu was a little confused when he heard this voice, and his face had a strange expression, as if he was saying "Where? Northeast?"

It’s no wonder Zhou Xu reacted like this.

Over the years, everyone knows that the Northeast region is mainly inhabited by some scattered primitive tribes.

For their Great Zhou, those were all uncivilized areas.

What kind of threat could that area pose to their Great Zhou? Even if extraordinary creatures appeared, Jie Liancheng and Qiansui could handle it.

Based on the known intelligence, the situation over there is not foolproof, but it is almost certain. How can there be an emergency battle report?!

Although he was confused, Zhou Xu's actions were not vague at all. He quickly opened the battle report and started reading it.

The handwriting on this battle report was obviously Jie Liancheng's. It was so ugly that Zhou Xu would not make a mistake.

The first sentence that followed made Zhou Xu's face change.

The northeastern border was attacked by the greenskin troops! The premise for the Northeast region to be foolproof is that the enemies they face are the primitive tribes scattered there, as well as the extraordinary creatures that may appear.

Even if some small forces appear, they can basically deal with them by relying on their equipment and Jie Liancheng's strength advantages.

But the appearance of the greenskin troops was completely beyond Zhou Xu's expectations.

This made him quickly run to the side hall and spread the map on the table.

"Damn it, why are there greenskin troops in the Northeast?"

Before this, the only place in their Great Zhou where green-skinned troops had appeared was the Plain Fortress in the New North District.

From the Plain Fortress to the Northeast Region, these two regions, to a certain extent, are located at the two ends of their Great Zhou territory, and the distance is definitely not close.

But looking at the map in front of him, Zhou Xu found that this was not completely impossible.

Over at the Plains Fortress, where did the greenskin troops come from?

It was on the Gobi Desert. From the perspective of location, it was located in the north of their Great Zhou. In the northeast region, due to the influence of the natural terrain, their exploration direction was also biased to the north! Previously, because the two regions were too far apart, and the tribes they encountered were all primitive, Zhou Xu really didn't think about it. Who would have thought that a large area on the Gobi Desert was actually connected?

The range of activities of those greenskins was completely beyond his expectations.

"Damn it, what are those allied troops up there doing? Letting a bunch of greenskins run around up there?"

Looking at the map, Zhou Xu cursed.

According to the battle report sent back by Xie Liancheng, the defense line of their Great Zhou's northeastern border had been breached. When Xie Liancheng was writing this report, they were retreating to the Oil Village.

In addition, Xie Liancheng stated in the report that they would certainly not be able to defend the Oil Village, and would most likely have to retreat all the way to the grassland pass.

Zhou Xu could fully understand this result.

Because the main focus in the Northeast region is to sweep away primitive tribes, there are only about 500 soldiers stationed in the border defense camp, and it is just a camp without even a city wall.

Xie Liancheng and Qiansui are strong and good at fighting, but Xie Liancheng mentioned in his report that the size of the opposing greenskin army is at least over three thousand, including a sizeable group of goblin wolf cavalry.

The disparity in military strength was so great that they didn't even dare to engage in a head-on battle, let alone a confrontation with the enemy.

If they were to be touched, the five hundred garrisons of theirs would be wiped out in seconds, there's no need to even think about it.

In fact, even when they turned around and left immediately when they saw the situation was not good, facing the continuous pursuit of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry from the opposite side, the 500 troops on the northeastern border had already been lost by half.

This was under the premise that Jie Liancheng and Qiansui frequently took action to curb the offensive of the opposing Goblin Wolf Cavalry during the retreat.

Otherwise, no one will survive.

The reality before our eyes is so cruel.

When he thought of this, Zhou Xu's face became uglier again.

It was not only because of the casualties of their own troops, but also because the greenskin troops' sudden attack directly destroyed all the development of their Great Zhou in the Northeast region over the years.

Among them, the loss of the oil village was undoubtedly the greatest.

After all, at this stage, the only valuable thing in the Northeast region is the oil output in the oil villages.

Under this premise, Zhou Xu doesn't think that those greenskins are civilized people.

Once the enemy occupies the oil village, the village and the oil refinery will most likely be reduced to ruins.

To put it in rounded terms, this means that all the development and construction work that the Great Zhou had done in the Northeast over the years had been in vain.

From this point of view, after Zhou Xu felt the pain in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Fortunately, the Northeast region has been developing in a Buddhist way over the years and has not occupied much labor and resources from their Great Zhou.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If this happened in New Taipei City, he would have fainted.

But even so, I definitely can't just swallow this anger!

In the report, Xie Liancheng mentioned that he would directly mobilize the Xianzhen Camp and the Caoyuan City garrisons to provide emergency support to the Northeast region.

Under this premise, the Xianzhen Camp and the Grassland City garrison, who had learned the situation from the messenger, had already been dispatched urgently.

Zhou Xu had no idea about this.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Given the emergency situation in the Northeast, if he had to wait for his order, the messenger's return would take at least half a day.

If during this period of time, the grassland pass is breached and the greenskin troops invade the grassland area, then there is a chance that the other side will directly threaten Black Moon City, which is his capital. This is something Zhou Xu will never allow to happen! "Pass my order, urgently recruit 2,000 soldiers, let the guards and the personal soldiers gather, and follow me to the battle!"

"Another urgent message to Temple City, asking Bo Levin to lead the garrison to support the Northeast region as quickly as possible!"

“In addition, send someone to the Basin Forest to invite Chief Locke over!”

A series of commands came out quickly from Zhou Xu's mouth.

The current situation is more urgent than any previous time. After all, the grassland pass is essentially a small outpost with little defensive power at all.

But it occupies a very important geographical location and must not be given up!

Almost at the same time as the order was given, Zhou Xu had quickly put on a complete set of armor with the help of two personal soldiers.

At the same time, at the training ground of the imperial palace, the imperial guards and part of the royal guards had already gathered.

The remaining guards gathered outside the city.

Caoyuan City is located in the heart of the Great Zhou Dynasty and is only equipped with a small number of guards to maintain the daily law and order of the city. There are simply not many permanent troops.

The ones with combat effectiveness were mainly the 500-man trap camp stationed there.

Apart from that, the only ones who could form effective combat forces in the area were the Black Moon City's Royal Guards and Zhou Xu's personal guards.

Now that everyone has gathered, Zhou Xu draws his sword and gives the order without further ado! "Go!!!"

At the command, the palace gates quickly opened, and Zhou Xu and his personal soldiers and guards, all equipped with war horses, filed out and headed straight for the northeastern front! (End of this chapter)
