In the Gu family ancestral hall, the elders stood in a row with reverence, and on the offering table in front of them was a long silver spear.
Although this silver spear has been placed in the ancestral hall for three hundred years, there is not a speck of dust on it. It shines with a silvery light, like a long silver dragon, ready to take flight at any moment.
When Li Guang saw this spear, he had a feeling of déjà vu.
He walked up to the spear, bowed three times to it under the watchful eyes of the Gu family members, and then picked it up with both hands.
With the spear in hand, Li Guang felt his body brimming with power.
At this moment, a strong wind began to blow outside the ancestral hall. The sky, which had been clear just moments before, was now covered with dark clouds, and the sky suddenly darkened.
The members of the Gu family were shocked and rushed to the outside of the ancestral hall to see what was going on. Li Guang, carrying a long spear, also came to the outside of the ancestral hall.
Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and it seemed as if a silver dragon was coiling among them.
A whirlwind swept across the open space in front of the ancestral hall, as if an invisible giant dragon were flying.
Li Guang carried his spear and ran forward, arriving in the center of the whirlwind, where he began to wield the spear.
Although the spear weighed over 180 jin (approximately 90 kg), Li Guang did not feel its weight when holding it.
But the weight of the spear was such that when it was swung, a fierce wind howled and sand and stones flew everywhere.
At this moment, people felt that there was a dragon in the sky and a dragon on the ground, and the two dragons interacted with each other, creating a powerful and earth-shattering force.
Li Guang brandished his silver spear, demonstrating the Gu family spear technique. Although he had only learned this technique for a short time, he was already very skilled and had brought the Gu family spear technique to its peak.
The spear in his hand moved like a silver dragon, soaring up and down, dazzling the eyes and keeping everyone on their toes.
By the time Li Guang finished practicing the Gu family spear technique, the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, the sun shone brightly on the earth again, and the whirlwind on the ground had disappeared. Only the spear in Li Guang's hand was gleaming.
"Congratulations, General Li, on acquiring the divine spear! With this silver spear in hand, General Li will be invincible!" At this moment, the Gu family patriarch and other members of the Gu family stepped forward to offer their congratulations.
Li Guang clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:
"Manor Lord Gu, thank you for the gun. I will repay such a great kindness in the future."
After obtaining the silver spear, Li Guang continued to practice his spear skills and intensified the training of his troops, hoping that his army would quickly become combat-ready.
That day, Li Guang went to the stable to check on Di Nu's recovery. Master Gu told him that in another month, Di Nu would be fully recovered and able to return to the battlefield.
At this moment, Master Gu looked at Li Guang and said:
“My son wishes to follow you, General, to fight on the battlefield and serve the country. I implore you, General Li, to take him in.”
Li Guang was overjoyed. Gu Huai was a fierce general, and with him by his side, he would have an extra right-hand man.
“But Gujiazhuang needs him. If he leaves with me, what will happen to Gujiazhuang?”
"General Li, you can rest assured. My eldest son has recovered his health. He is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has excellent strategic acumen. With him around, Gu Family Village will have nothing to worry about."
"That's wonderful, thank you very much, Master Gu."
Since Gu Huai is following me, he can take care of some of the tasks of training the troops. I can also teach Gu Huai some formations, which will surely be of great use in the future.
He hoped that in the future, Gu Huai would have his own opinions and be able to handle things independently.
As time went by, Li Guang couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He had been here for more than two months, and perhaps by now the foreign kingdoms had allied with the Luo and Jin kingdoms and begun to invade the Great Northern Dynasty.
Li Guang's guess was correct. At this moment, the Fan Kingdom, together with the Luo Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, gathered 600,000 troops and divided them into four routes to launch a major invasion of the Great Northern Dynasty.
The first force is a 300,000-strong army led by Marshal Muhan of the Fan Kingdom. This army is mainly used to deal with Marshal Han's 200,000-strong army. The two sides have already started fighting.
The other three armies, each with 100,000 troops, have already been deployed to the border and are currently waiting for the right opportunity. Once conditions are ripe, the three armies will advance unimpeded.
The three armies attacked along the routes of the capital, Suxing, and Shuixian Village, respectively, and their intentions were very clear.
If the capital is captured and the emperor and court officials of the Northern Dynasty are seized, the Northern Dynasty will essentially be finished.
The Suhang region is a land of plenty, the granary of the Great Northern Dynasty. Controlling this region is tantamount to strangling the Great Northern Dynasty, and the entire Central Plains region will inevitably fall into chaos.
Unexpectedly, the allied forces sent 100,000 troops to attack Narcissus Village.
This may be the shrewdness of the Allied forces. They knew that there were extraordinary people in Narcissus Village who could manufacture firearms. If they equipped their troops with these firearms, they would be able to fight ten times as well as one.
If the Northern Dynasty were to develop a large army equipped with firearms, it would be a formidable enemy. Therefore, capturing Shuixian Village and firmly controlling it would be a crucial guarantee for their successful invasion of the Central Plains.
In the Great Northern Dynasty, the vast majority of people did not know about Shuixian Village, and they simply did not understand why the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces mobilized 100,000 troops to attack Shuixian Village.
The largest battlefield is currently at the border, where the strongest elite troops of the Northern Dynasty are located. Even if the allied forces have 300,000 troops to fight against them, they may not necessarily win.
The reason the Allied forces placed half of their troops here was mainly to tie down Marshal Han. As long as these 200,000 soldiers were tied down, the entire force would be unable to be divided.
Another point is that the three countries have mobilized their entire national strength to invade the Central Plains, leaving their own countries severely vulnerable. They fear that Marshal Han might take the opportunity to attack and destroy their countries, which would be a great loss.
Although the Great Northern Dynasty's borders are secure and its supplies are plentiful, over time, the supplies will run out, and Marshal Han will be put in a passive position.
The capital had 100,000 garrison troops, but they lacked combat experience and were unable to contend with the allied forces' 100,000-strong army.
The Suhang region, located in the Central Plains, had no other troops to defend itself except for the tens of thousands of naval troops stationed at Panzhou Lake.
As for Narcissus Village, it had just formed a local army with only a few thousand men. Unless they used firearms, they would be easily defeated.
The Great Northern Dynasty also had some troops guarding some important places in the Great Northern Dynasty. These garrison troops were not strong, ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 men to a few thousand men, and were unable to fight against the allied forces.
After receiving this news, Li Xue brought her entourage to Shuixian Village, hoping to see Li Guang as soon as she entered the village.
To her disappointment, Li Guang still hadn't returned; more than two months had passed since he fled the capital.
Zhao Xian was also taken aback when he learned that the allied army of 100,000 was coming to attack Shuixian Village. Could he really defend such a small place as Shuixian Village with such a large army?
If you're fighting small-scale battles, you can buy some firearms from the system to equip your soldiers, and victory is highly probable.
