Lin Jiang took action, and the demon boy was captured as expected. Then Lin Jiang divided his men into two, one team took the opportunity to kill Yingchuan Prefecture, and the other team surrounded the demon in front of them.
Yingchuan Prefecture was extremely weak, with only the elderly, weak, women and children left. Only the young men outside the city were stronger. An hour later, Lin Jiang entered Yingchuan Prefecture.
The demons' resistance was very fierce. Even the elderly, weak, sick and disabled did not surrender. After Lin Jiang entered, he continued to kill.
When Yingchuan Prefecture calmed down, there were not many living people in the city, but they did find a large number of human beings, mainly women, all of whom gave birth to children for the demons, and the others were some craftsmen and so on.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with these women?" When the subordinates
learned about this, they did not dare to make a decision and came to report to Lin Jiang.
"What is the attitude of those women towards the monsters? I mean the little monsters and their children."
"This is very complicated. I don't know how to say it for a moment."
"Let's guard them closely first. If Yingchuan is lost, these people must be executed. If not, let the ministers discuss it at that time."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Have the people of the Xie family been found?"
"They are making contact. It has been 20 to 30 years, and the people left by the Xie family have also been replaced."
"Okay, just wait and see how they perform. Let the follow-up troops rush to Yingchuan Prefecture as soon as possible. It's time to fight."
Lin Jiang nodded. Yingchuan Prefecture City is a monster city. The people of the Xie family were also driven away and rushed to the outside of the city. There are still people of the Xie family in Lin Jiang's army, and they are on their way to make contact.
Subsequent troops began to appear one after another, and the city defense of Yingchuan Prefecture City began to be complete. Xie's vassal army played an extremely important role here.
When Lin Jiang had time, he would listen to them talk about the monster society. Knowing some details made Lin Jiang worried. The monsters were really getting more and more powerful. More
than ten days later, the monster army that went to Dingzhou from Yingzhou returned. Lin Jiang received news from scouts hundreds of miles away. A few days later, Lin Jiang also received news from the Datong Army in Dingzhou. They were defeated
in the battle with the monsters in Yingzhou. They lost 70,000 to 80,000 people in one battle. After that, they retreated to a city and were attacked by the monsters. They were almost defeated. Fortunately, Lin Jiang took Yingchuan Prefecture. The news reached the monsters. The monsters were worried about their children and hurriedly withdrew their troops.
"Send a message back, give Su Yu a chance to redeem himself and bring troops to attack the monsters. If this doesn't work, let him go back to the countryside to farm."
Lin Jiang was very dissatisfied with the result of the battle, and was also very dissatisfied with Su Yu, the commander of the Datong Army in Dingzhou. This was his old brother who had followed him in Qiyun Mountain. After more than ten years of fighting, he still ended up like this. It was shameful.
After the monster army of Yingzhou returned to the outside of Yingchuan Prefecture, they soon saw the monster teenagers on the city wall. Lin Jiang captured more than 200 monster teenagers in total, and then killed a group of them in front of the monster army, deliberately provoking the monsters.
The monsters were indeed provoked and immediately began to attack fiercely, which was exactly what Lin Jiang planned. The Datong Army could rely on the city wall and give full play to the advantages of its equipment.
After half a month, the demon army still failed to capture Yingchuan Prefecture. Instead, the Datong Army in Dingzhou followed, and Xia Liang in Shuzhou also came with the rear team. Under the three-sided attack, the demon army was defeated, and the demons in Yingchuan Prefecture were almost wiped out.
"I will lead 50,000 elite soldiers to Jizhou to support the battlefield in Laizhou. General Xia will lead a group of people to take Peizhou in the west. Su Yu will continue to attack other places in Yingchuan. We must eliminate the remaining enemies as soon as possible, and then lead the team to Qingzhou. After General Xia clears Peizhou, he will also go to Qingzhou. At that time, General Xia will take charge of major events."
"Your Majesty, Qingzhou is the gateway to Qianzhou, but do we have to fight the demons in Qianzhou?"
"Yes, now the remnants of the Zhou Dynasty and the Immortal Kingdom are still fighting fiercely. We must seize this opportunity to solve the demons in the former Chen Kingdom."
Lin Jiang nodded. This is a rare opportunity. If the other two forces do not take action, it will be difficult for them to rely on their own family. If the demons from the Immortal Kingdom or even the north of Qingjiang come to help, they will definitely lose.
Lin Jiang arranged everything and left with his troops. Other places, such as Qingzhou, were also places where the demons were extremely weak. Lin Jiang burned, killed and looted along the way. There
was no other way. They were traveling lightly and did not bring much supplies. Even now that winter was approaching, they did not even have supplies for the winter, so they could only rob the demons.
This caused great trauma to the demons. They occupied the State
of Chen for 20 to 30 years, and even after 20 to 30 years of recuperation, they could not stop the loss this time. Faced with the situation of war everywhere, the demons in Qianzhou issued a call to gather the scattered demons from various places to gather in the gathering places of various states and counties, and Qianzhou also sent teams of elite demons to various places to help.

"Greetings, Your Majesty"
"General Huangfu, please do not be polite"
In Jizhou, Lin Jiang met the third group of Datong Army. Among the six armies, only Xia Liang was a former surrendered general, and the rest were old brothers who followed Lin Jiang in Qiyun Mountain.
"Your Majesty, General Qin and his men are also making very good progress. They will be able to gather in Qingzhou in a month at most."
"That's good. Give me 20,000 troops from your army, and you can take the rest to support Qin Yong and his men. It's going to snow soon, and we must reach Qingzhou before it snows,"
said Lin Jiang. He was actually a bit desperate. Once it snowed, it would be very disadvantageous for the monsters and the Datong Army. At least the problem of food and grass would be very prominent. Even if Lin Jiang desperately urged the rear now, it would be useless, because this was food and grass for more than one million troops.
What Lin Jiang had to do now was to plunder, plunder everywhere, rob the monsters into nothing, and plunder as much food as possible from the monsters' territory.
When Lin Jiang led his men to Qingzhou, he found that most of the monsters in Qingzhou had disappeared. He asked some of the remaining human races and found that the monsters had begun to gather the scattered monster tribes.
"Qingzhou Xiao family, let someone contact the local Xiao family to see the situation of the monsters."
Lin Jiang asked someone to find the Xiao family and contact the Xiao family members who were still in the local area to see what was going on.
After much exploration, Lin Jiang slowly learned about the monster's plan. The monster did not want to fight a decisive battle in Qianzhou, so he stationed a large number of troops in Qingzhou and commanded the scattered monster tribes to return in Qingzhou to block the human army.
Lin Jiang was also shocked to learn that there were at least 80,000 monster regular troops in Qianzhou heading south. He had dealt with the monster regular troops several times before. These 80,000 monsters were very strong. They were so strong
that Lin Jiang did not dare to enter Qingzhou rashly. He could only wait until Xia Liang and other troops from various routes arrived before advancing and slowly marching into Qingzhou.
In Qingqiu Prefecture, Qingzhou, the Datong Army stopped because the monsters had gathered in Qingqiu Prefecture. Lin Jiang also quickly mobilized the army to come, and the two sides had a brief confrontation.
At this time, Lin Jiang had 800,000 soldiers and horses, 800,000 real combat soldiers, and 2 million troops went out to fight. So far, more than 300,000 people have been killed, and the rest are either injured, or stay in various places or defend the rear.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
All the marshals have arrived and come to pay respect to Lin Jiang.
"According to the estimates of the scouts and the information from the Xiao family in Qingzhou, the number of monsters is estimated to be between 300,000 and 400,000. Among them, there are about 80,000 elite monsters from Qianzhou, and there are more than 10,000 elite monsters in Qingzhou itself. In addition, there are no less than 100,000 elite monsters gathered nearby. There are not many vassal troops, only from Qingzhou, and no one from other states."
"In addition, according to the predictions of some local elders, it will snow in half a month at most, so the decisive battle is best fought within half a month. After the battle, if we lose, we will all die, and we don't have to think about wintering. If we win, we will go to Qingqiu Mansion and Qianzhou to spend the winter."
Lin Jiang said that he wanted to fight a decisive battle in Qingzhou in advance. If he won, everything would be easy. There are also hundreds of thousands of monsters, and their supplies are enough for the army. If he loses, they will die and nothing will be needed.
"Your Majesty, it's better to have a decisive battle early, but I don't know if the monsters will agree. If they don't go out of the city to fight, and ask us to attack the city, that's not a good thing ,"
Xia Liang said. They marched too fast, and many of their baggage were thrown away. They didn't have siege equipment, and they were at a disadvantage in a siege.
"Don't worry, they will fight. You should speed up your preparations in the next few days."
Lin Jiang shook his head. There was no need to worry about this. In this campaign, they already knew that the monsters valued offspring very much. I don't know if it was because it was very difficult for the monsters to reproduce a long time ago. Anyway, the last time in Yingchuan, he killed a group of little monsters in front of the monster army, and those monsters went crazy, so Lin Jiang kept a watchful eye. Now there are still a few monsters in the army, so he will try again when the time comes.
