February 28, the 11th year of the Xuanli calendar, sunny.
The heavy snow that lasted for more than a month finally stopped.
Such a clear day should have given people a wonderful mood, but Feng Xianchu, the general of the Yi Kingdom stationed in the Lanqi territory, was not in a good mood.
Not only was he not beautiful, his expression was so gloomy at the moment, as if another heavy snowfall was about to occur.
The logistics supply hasn't delivered a single grain of food for half a month!
Stationed in this freezing cold place, the daily consumption of the 200,000-strong army is extremely huge, and the granary is already empty.
The soldiers' rations have gone from three meals a day to two meals a day and then to one meal a day half a month ago... If food is not delivered soon, these 200,000 people will starve to death here even without the barbarians coming to fight!
Of course, he knew the reason.
The land of Yi State fell by 30% again, and the army that had only been identified now had actually penetrated the entire Yi State with 100,000 people... Its name was the Second Divine Sword Army, and its commander was Bai Yulian!
This is an army formed based on the Blood-Clothed Guards of the Wu Dynasty. They are indeed powerful. Even Feng Xianchu himself has no way to keep them.
Unless they can gather an army of 800,000, unless they are willing to fight a decisive battle with this army of 800,000.
He was sitting in the general's tent when the quartermaster tiptoed in and whispered, "General, one meal a day... the food can only last for three more days at most!"
Feng Xianchu took a deep breath and said, "I understand. You can go down first."
He frowned, his eyes fixed on the table, where was the latest news sent by the scouts.
The Second Divine Sword Army did not point its swords at the Yi Kingdom's capital Tailin, but turned northwest... Where exactly is their target?
Northwest, are they going to go to Changling Mountains to fight with the eastern border troops of the Yu Dynasty?
Or maybe... His eyes suddenly widened, he stood up abruptly, walked to the map, and his eyes fell on a place - Gaoquesai!
They want to go out from Gaoque Pass and go to the territory of the Blue Flag of the Barbarians!
This place is where Feng Xianchu’s troops are stationed. Are they coming to annihilate my troops?
Feng Xianchu sucked in a breath of cold air, his face solemn as he thought about what the Second Divine Sword Army had done in the Yi Kingdom - they only fought with the Yi soldiers, did not occupy cities, did not kill civilians... They only destroyed the Yi Kingdom's military power!
The intelligence received three days ago was that the Second Divine Sword Army had arrived at Yuanning, an important town in the northwest of the Yi Kingdom. In three days, if their route is really Gaoque Pass, I am afraid they will arrive soon.
How to block it?
What can I use to block it?
Could they stop the powerful Second Excalibur Army with just these 200,000 starving soldiers?
Instead of fighting the Second Divine Sword Army, I might as well go and cut some grass!
“Someone come…!”
"Hurry and pass on this general's order. All troops must break camp and assemble immediately. We are going to grab some food. Our target is Lanqi City!"
Two hours later, Feng Xianchu's 200,000 troops hurriedly left the base.
Another hour later, the Second Divine Sword Army led by Bai Yulian arrived here and saw a mess.
In the midst of the mess, he saw a man - Bei Wangchuan.
"By order of His Highness, I will wait for you here."
Bei Wangchuan handed Bai Yulian a letter. Bai Yulian took it and looked at it, and was immediately surprised.
"Order: Plan has changed. The Second Divine Sword Army will immediately head to Xiaoheyuan to reunite with the First Divine Sword Army and await orders!"
It is one thousand three hundred miles from here to Xiaoheyuan.
…
…
Thirty miles below the northern peak of Pingling Mountain.
There is a small village of barbarians here, of course, there is no barbarian here now.
The six brigades of the Excalibur First Army are gathering here.
Chen Po received the urgent information sent by Fu Xiaoguan to Bei Wangchuan. The First Army of Divine Sword did not go to the North Peak of Pingling, but completed the rendezvous here.
In the general's tent.
Chen Po and Ning Siyan sat opposite each other.
"According to Earl Ding'an's instructions, you must show up." Chen Po said with a smile, "Two hundred thousand troops from the northern border, led by Peng Chengwu, have entered the North Peak. They are watching from above. Earl Ding'an speculates that it is very likely that someone from the Yu Dynasty is colluding with the barbarians and wants to trap us here."
Ning Siyan became excited when she heard it.
It has been five days since he arrived at the Sixth Brigade of the First Army of Divine Sword. He followed the orders of Fu Xiaoguan and really didn't say a word, and even rarely showed up.
Now he needed to take action himself. He touched the greatsword on the table and chuckled, "Commander Chen ordered me to lead the Sixth Brigade to fight a battle?"
Ning Siyan was itching to do it. He Sandao, Guan Xiaoxi and the others had told such an exciting story yesterday!
These guys have wreaked havoc on the territories of the six flags of the Wilderness Country and even captured three Acropolis - this kind of life is what you call a wild and wonderful life!
He suddenly felt that being a general was much more comfortable than being a doorman - mainly because he couldn't compete with that old man Jia Nanxing for the doorman position.
"You...are the Earl of Ding'an!" Chen Po felt uneasy. "Now you have to issue the next order as the Earl of Ding'an."
"Ah... yes, I'm Ding Anbo. Tell me, what's the order?"
"Announce the crimes of the Northern Frontier Army! ... Written here are the crimes of the Northern Frontier Army!"
Ning Siyan took it and took a look, her eyes widened immediately... This northern border army is too ridiculous. They actually gave up Yanshan Pass and Xinzhou City just to kill Fu Xiaoguan!
This is certainly intolerable!
Then fuck him!
Ning Siyan strode out of the commander's tent and came to a temporary platform.
Chen Po followed closely behind, and the entire Divine Sword Second Army stood in silence.
No one knew that this Earl of Ding'an was fake. Ning Siyan took a deep breath. At this moment, he felt as if Fu Xiaoguan was possessed.
"The 400,000-strong Heavenly Blade Army of the Savages marched southward, holding Yanshan Pass for seven days without breaking through. However, it was breached from the inside by rebels from the northern border army..."
"The barbarian army is approaching Xinzhou, but the Northern Frontier General Peng Chengwu has brought over 200,000 troops to the northern peak of Pingling Mountain, where we should have assembled."
"The northern border troops abandoned the country's borders and pointed their guns at us... Of course, their targets are Fu and me!"
"You are all Yu people. I will not force you to fight the northern border troops. If anyone wants to leave... you can leave now. I won't blame you."
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar below.
"Fuck, are the damn northern border troops so filthy?"
"Mr. Ding'an, we are your army. If they dare to defect, I will lead my troops to blow their balls off!"
"We swear to fight for Earl Ding'an to the death!"
"Kill those bastards from the Northern Frontier Army!"
“…”
For a moment, the crowd was so excited that their voices shook the sky.
Only then did Ning Siyan feel the strong cohesion of Fu Xiaoguan. These soldiers were all from Yu, but they were loyal to Fu Xiaoguan!
He shook his arms, and the crowd below suddenly became quiet.
"Now, I order the entire army to head to Xiaoheyuan to join the Second Army!"
