19th of September, White Stone City.
In the darkness of the night, the teleportation array in the center of the city flashed with white light. The 150,000 soldiers of Lingnan City, as well as the 100,000 soldiers that had been hastily gathered, were quietly teleported over.
There were also 50,000 reserve troops on standby, ready to be teleported over at any time.
The vast army filled the inconspicuous city to the brim. An hour earlier, the entire city had been placed under martial law, allowing entry but not exit.
At the entrance of the teleportation array, Ruan Ping summoned the leading general and solemnly instructed, "General, immediately arrange for soldiers to guard the various relay stations and teleportation arrays. Prohibit anyone from entering or leaving the relay stations or approaching the teleportation arrays. If anyone is found to be abnormal, kill them on the spot without interrogating them. "
"Understood!"
In the battle of Zhaoqing, Ruan Ping had used a trick to successfully capture Tianshuang County from the inside. Now that they were in charge of defense, Ruan Ping naturally had to prevent the enemy from using the same trick on them.
The purpose of guarding the relay station was to prevent the news from leaking out as much as possible.
Of course, Ruan Ping's trick could not stop the Mountain Sea Guards and Black Snake Guards. That night, hummingbirds took off from a nameless corner and disappeared into the night.
The next morning, the various armies of Shanhai City received the relevant information.
City Lord's Residence.
Ruan Ping gathered with the various lords and the chief generals of the various territories.
"Where is the enemy's Fan Lihua Army?" This was the question that everyone was most concerned about.
The intelligence officer reported, "Based on the enemy's speed, the Fan Lihua Army will arrive outside the city by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. This afternoon, the scouts have already discovered the enemy's vanguard. "
"Did they discover you?" Ruan Ping asked.
"Absolutely not!" The intelligence officer was very confident.
After all, the surroundings of White Stone City were their territory. If they could not even conceal themselves, the intelligence officer would not have the face to stand here and report to the various lords.
"In that case, let's act according to plan!" Ruan Ping said.
"Yes!"
The generals saluted in unison.
That night, White Stone City was destined to be sleepless. They would weave an impenetrable spider web in the city and even outside the city, trapping the Fan Lihua Army.
Next, the group discussed specific tactics and only dispersed late at night.
That night, White Stone City was destined to be sleepless.
In a small courtyard on the west side of the City Lord's Mansion, Ruan Ping stood in the courtyard, looking up at the moon, deep in thought. His eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation.
If this battle was successful and the Fan Lihua Army was wiped out, it would prove that their strategy was correct. In this way, they could replicate it once or even twice.
The invincible army of Shanhai City was not invincible.
"Ouyang Shuo, I won't let you succeed!" A trace of madness flashed across Ruan Ping's face.
On the afternoon of the nineteenth, Kunming Commandery, the encampment of the Third Dragon Stallion Army Legion.
The sky was cloudless, and the wind was gentle.
At this moment, there was a mechanical roar in the air. Then, a giant dolphin flew over from afar.
"A dolphin flying in the sky?"
Those who raised their heads along the way were all dumbfounded by the spectacle.
The soldiers of the 3rd Division who were training were no exception. They all looked up at the sky and pointed at it. If not for the military discipline, it would have been a mess.
"What is that? A big bird?"
Not everyone knew about dolphins. What the ancient people knew and saw, especially to ordinary people, could only be passed down through word of mouth.
To these people who couldn't swim, they didn't know about the 'dolphin' at all. A soldier from a fishing village said hesitantly, "Looking at its shape, it seems to be the dolphin that the old people in the village mentioned?"
"What the hell?"
"Haha, dolphin, you must be joking. Dolphin, dolphin, although we don't know what it looks like, at least it's related to the sea. Have you ever seen an animal in the sea flying in the sky? "
After being choked like this, the youth from the fishing village also lost his confidence.
"Look, it's flying toward us!"
"Oh no, it's not a spirit beast, right? Don't attack our camp!"
"Quick, inform the archers!"
"Idiot, quickly inform the general!"
Seeing the 'big bird' flying closer and closer, the soldiers who had never seen such a thing panicked.
"What are you shouting for? Everyone, return to your positions!"
At this moment, the commanding officer stood up and began to maintain order.
…
In the central camp, Zhang Liao received the news and walked out of his tent. He looked up at the sky and was dumbfounded by the 'big bird' flying closer and closer.
"Could this be the Mo family's mechanical bird?" Zhang Liao guessed.
Just as Zhang Liao was wondering what to do, Ouyang Shuo walked over and said with a smile, "General, there's no need to panic. That's our flying machine. Immediately clear a drill ground and wave the red flag. "
"Yes, Sir!"
Zhang Liao didn't think much and subconsciously carried out the military order.
After that, he asked with a confused expression, "My lord, the flying machine you mentioned just now, what is it?"
Ouyang Shuo smiled. He didn't blame Zhang Liao. Lingxi City had just been merged into Shanhai City, and the Seventh Research Institute hadn't had time to educate the civil and military officials of Lingxi City on industrial knowledge.
"Simply put, it's a flying tool that can be freely controlled and piloted. It's a special item that I obtained from a foreign civilization during my previous voyage, "Ouyang Shuo explained simply.
"I see!"
Zhang Liao suddenly understood. Although he was a military general, he was Bai Hua's confidant and knew a thing or two about Shanhai City's voyage.
Coupled with Bai Hua's intentional nurturing, Zhang Liao wasn't really a noob in modern knowledge.
"Since the flying machine has arrived, I have to return to Shanhai City."
The war in the Southern Border had already begun. The eastern, northern, and western battlefields had joined forces to fight. At this time, Ouyang Shuo had to return to Shanhai City to take charge and stabilize the morale of the army.
The General Administration of Military Affairs had already set up a temporary headquarters in Shanhai City and was just waiting for Ouyang Shuo to return.
The most convenient way was naturally to directly pilot the flying machine. In just one day, Ouyang Shuo could cross Zhen 'an County and return to Shanhai City.
"My lord is going back?" Zhang Liao was a little surprised.
"That's right." Ouyang Shuo smiled and nodded. "General, I'll leave the defense of the Western Front to you."
Although the Western Front was calm, it didn't mean that there was no war.
Not to mention whether Yunnan City State would take the opportunity to make some small moves, Di Chen and the others would probably actively urge Qin Fen and the others to face Shanhai City head-on.
The Third Legion shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding Kunming County, so they couldn't be careless.
When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately made a military pledge and vowed, "My lord, please rest assured. With the Third Legion, we won't let the enemy cross the border."
"Good!"
Ouyang Shuo nodded. He admired Zhang Liao's spirit.
In history, Zhang Liao was also a master of defense. His ability to resist pressure was very strong.
After giving some instructions, Ouyang Shuo didn't stay any longer.
When he arrived at the drill ground, after a simple exchange with the pilot, he took out the purple magnetic ore hanging in front of his chest and activated the flying machine. It directly rose into the sky and gradually disappeared.
After witnessing this scene, the soldiers of the Third Legion immediately worshipped their lord as a true god. Their loyalty to him skyrocketed, and their estrangement with Shanhai City immediately disappeared without a trace.
With such a lord, how could they, the soldiers, have any other extravagant desires?!
The sequelae left behind by the hasty annexation were magically eliminated because of this. If Ouyang Shuo knew the details, he probably wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The pilot who sent the flying machine used a blue magnetic ore. It needed to stop midway to recharge, so it had already set off two days ago. Ouyang Shuo's purple magnetic ore was different. It was enough to fly directly to Shanhai City.
Driving the flying machine, Ouyang Shuo roamed in the sky above the magnificent mountains and rivers of the China region. Looking at the undulating mountains and the dotted cities and villages, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but feel lofty. His mind was broadened, and he wanted to take all the land under his feet into his chest.
With such lofty aspirations and such an experience, it was indeed an extraordinary journey.
At noon the next day, Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City.
