Now the Da Dao Ting has issued an edict to attack the Zong Kingdom, but it has been made clear for the time being that only the four-nation alliance will send troops. However, the other vassal states of the Da Dao Ting have sent envoys to observe the war.
It was a dark and windy night, and the light on Taiyin Avenue was dim. After seven days of continuous marching, the coalition forces of the Four-Nation Alliance finally set up camp on a plain seven thousand miles away from Chenguan.
Of course, the four-nation coalition forces did not camp together, but set up camp in order, with intervals of one hundred miles between them.
Jiang Ji, the Grand Minister and Left General of Lingqi Dao State, was sitting in the central army tent. In front of him were three junior ministers and thirty ministers sitting in an orderly row.
"This is the information sent from Xiangguan. The one stationed in Qinguan is the traitor Fang Jian, and the traitor Taiyuan is still stationed in his capital." Jiang Ji said, shaking the jade slip in his hand.
Hearing this, all the junior officials and ministers below smiled. At the same time, one junior official said, "To attack a small country with only 10,000 soldiers, there is no need to mobilize 120,000 troops. Only our 30,000 are enough."
The people and nobles who escaped from the ancestral country provided a lot of intelligence to the Four-Nation Alliance, including information about the large-scale escape of nobles, soldiers, and people.
Therefore, the four-nation coalition forces showed disdain for the Zong Kingdom, which now has only 10,000 soldiers.
"I have a feeling that we will be able to return home in a month at most." The second Shaoqing said with a smile.
The third Shaoqing said, "In my opinion, the one in Xishuo Prefecture is the real war. What we are doing here is just another punitive expedition not worth recording."
At this time, the Shaoqing who spoke first asked Jiang Ji, "General Zuo, I heard that the Dao Court has united with the seven Dao Kingdoms in Xishuozhou, assembled an army of over 300,000 and divided it into two groups to attack the Tianting Dao Kingdom. Is this true?"
Jiang Ji nodded and said, "That's right, and the war started a month ago, but we haven't received any reports yet."
"Three hundred thousand troops, let's see if the Heavenly Dao Kingdom can stop them this time."
"It's hard to say. The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dao Kingdom, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, is too powerful. When it comes to battle formations in the Dao Court, no one can match her."
"Not necessarily. No matter how powerful the Lady of the Nine Heavens is, she can't create a great trend out of thin air. Although the Heavenly Court Dao Kingdom has won every battle in recent years, its overall situation is that the Great Dao Court has continuously compressed its space and national strength. If it loses the great trend, no matter how powerful the battle formation is, it will eventually be defeated."
"That's right. No matter how strong the battle formation is, it can't make up for the lack of momentum."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Jiang Ji said, "Okay, let's not discuss the matter in Xishuozhou. Let's deal with the enemy in front of us first."
At this point, Jiang Ji said with a serious expression, "At our current marching speed, we'll be at Qinguan Pass by the day after tomorrow at the earliest. When that happens, as the vanguard, we must seize Qinguan Pass in one fell swoop. We must not let our allies make a fool of ourselves, the Lingqi Dao Nation. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, all the junior officials and ministers immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Yes!"
Jiang Ji nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Everyone, return to your camp. The night watch and patrol must be properly arranged and not neglected. We will break camp at dawn tomorrow."
All the junior ministers and ministers sang in unison, then turned around and left the central military tent and returned to their respective camps.
After his subordinates left, Jiang Ji winked at his attendant in the tent. The attendant bowed and turned to walk out of the tent.
Not long after, two slender and tall soldiers in military uniforms entered the tent. They glanced at Jiang Ji seductively, then turned around and lowered the curtain of the tent and closed it.
Then the two 'sergeants' completely relaxed their tense postures, took off their headscarves, and let their long, beautiful black hair fall down. Then they twisted their waists and came to Jiang Ji's left and right, and were embraced by Jiang Ji in his arms.
These two women were none other than Jiang Ji's newly-acquired beauties. He was reluctant to leave them behind on this expedition, so he disguised them as his personal soldiers and brought them with him.
The continuous marching in the past few days had made him itchy for a long time. After setting up camp, he immediately called the two women into the tent, ready to have an in-depth communication with them.
As the lights in Jiang Ji’s central army tent dimmed, in the dark clouds above the Lingqi Dao Kingdom’s headquarters, Yan An led a thousand fighting spirit officials and followed Fang Jian to fly above the Lingqi Dao Kingdom’s army headquarters.
At this moment, Fang Jian was saying to the thousand fighting spirit officials, "Take a look at the 'position and karma symbol' in your own souls."
Upon hearing this, the one thousand fighting spirit officials immediately used their spiritual thoughts to check their own position and karma symbols. Then they saw that there was an additional "merit" displayed in the position and karma symbols.
"Now, you can get one merit for killing an enemy. Killing ten enemies will give you ten merits."
"But remember, children and babies are not considered enemies. Killing them will not earn you any merit, but will instead deduct your merit."
After saying that, Fang Jian asked, "Have you remembered everything?"
A thousand fighting spirit officials shouted in unison: "Remember!"
Fang Jian nodded, then said to Yan An, "Begin!"
"As you command!" Yan An bowed and accepted the order, then stepped forward and shouted to the Thousand Fighting Spirit Officers, "Listen, command! Form the mighty formation!"
At Yan'an's command, a thousand fighting spirit officials immediately formed the battle formation 'Da Li Zhen' derived from 'Da Li Xuan Qi', and then, under Yan'an's leadership, performed 'Cruising the Sky' and flew down to the Lingqi Dao Kingdom headquarters below at the fastest speed.
When Yan An and others flew to a height of only one thousand feet away from the Lingqi Dao Kingdom’s headquarters, the Lingqi Dao Kingdom soldiers who were patrolling and guarding below immediately discovered something unusual.
'Woo'
A horn sounded immediately throughout the entire Lingqi Army base. All the junior ministers and ministers rushed out of the tent as soon as they heard the howl, and immediately began to order the soldiers to assemble and form a battle array to resist the enemy.
