Gaia fourth year, 17th of the first month, Yongren City.
At daybreak, more than a hundred thousand Imperial Guards crossed the border of Dongchuan County and advanced into Swordsman City's territory, initiating a war with Swordsman City.
The vast army formed a long dragon that advanced along the winding mountain roads, its vanguard heading straight for Awolong Pass. At the same time, Shi Hu led the five thousand mountain barbarian warriors toward Jinsha River, avoiding all eyes and ears. Near the Jinsha River, a large number of ships were secretly requisitioned by local officials and concentrated at the river crossings.
The war that had just died down in the southwest was once again ignited.
At the same time, Shi Wansui's Second Dragon Stallion Army and Luo Shixin's Fourth Dragon Army had already left Tengyue County and were heading north to Dongchuan County, ready to enter the war in Shu at any time.
The cleanup of Tengyue County was left to Zhang Liao's Third Dragon Stallion Army.
The Second and Fourth Dragon Stallion Army's main forces guarding the northern part of Yunnan Province. Due to the war in Shu, Shanhai City's new army reorganization had yet to take place.
Ouyang Shuo planned to wait until the battle of Black Iron City ended and the Imperial Guard captives were brought back. Then, he would convene the four corps commanders and Navy Governor Zheng He to discuss the reorganization of the army.
This arrangement would also be the embryonic form of the highest military organization in the future.
According to the preliminary calculations of the General Administration of Military Affairs, after deducting the casualties from the various departments and the mountain barbarian warriors of Tengyue County, it was estimated that three or four field corps could be formed.
How to distribute them was a big problem. The four corps naturally hoped to fight for one or two spots, but the specific distribution would depend on the next step of the territory's strategy.
Shu, Swordsman City.
"The Imperial Guard will be the vanguard and the Dragon Stallion Army will be the backup. In order to get these prisoners of war back, Shanhai City has mobilized four field legions?! "Feng Qingyang could not remain calm after listening to the military report.
Feng Qingyue said, "Big Brother, it's not too late to negotiate."
"Negotiate? No, wait until they take Awolong Pass. How will the Imperial Guard of Shanhai City attack the pass?! "Feng Qingyang was someone who cared a great deal about his reputation, or else he would not have been so stubborn.
Feng Qingyue shook his head. "Even if the Imperial Guard can't do anything to Awolong Pass for the time being. What if the two legions of the Dragon Stallion Army reached the front lines? Even if the Aolong Pass was an impregnable fortress, it would still be destroyed by the Shanhai City's army. Don't forget, not only do they have a new type of cannon, but they also have a flying squad. "
"Shanhai City has a hundred ways to deal with a pass like Awolong Pass. In the battle of Guilin County, didn't the three passes fall just like that?! If the enemy really took down the Awaolong Pass and pointed their sword at Black Iron City, the situation would become unsalvageable. If the four great armies of Shanhai City were to enter Shu, they would be able to conquer the entire Jiangyang County. Big Brother, do you want to gamble with the fate of the territory? "
Feng Qingyang was speechless for a long time.
In fact, Feng Qingyang was feeling a little regretful, but he could not admit defeat because of his pride. Yesterday, he had tried to probe the attitude of Di Chen and the others, but all of them were hesitant and didn't want to talk about sending troops.
In the [Yan Huang Alliance], the Swordsman City was independent, and had always been outside of the alliance. If it wasn't for the contribution of the secret martial arts manuals, the Feng Clan wouldn't even be able to become one of the six major powers in the China region.
There was a natural barrier between the Swordsman City and the other territories of the [Yan Huang Alliance].
Especially after the news of the ambiguous attitude between the Swordsman City and the Shu Han Dynasty, Di Chen and the others became even more distant from the Swordsman City. Now that the Shanhai City's army was attacking, how could Di Chen and the others send troops to help the Swordsman City?
Before this, Feng Qingyang did not have a clear understanding of the Shanhai City. Until this time, the enemy had mobilized four great armies into Shu, and their military strength was twice that of the Swordsman City's.
Only then did Feng Qingyang truly feel the gap between the two sides. If it wasn't for the [Yan Huang Alliance], the Swordsman City was nothing in front of the Shanhai City.
This kind of understanding was undoubtedly very depressing.
Feng Qingyang looked up at his sister and said with a slightly sinister expression, "If the Shanhai City dares to attack Black Iron City, I will kill all 15,000 prisoners of war."
"Please don't!" Feng Qingyue turned pale with fright and said in horror, "The Imperial Guards are the glory of the Shanhai City, and also their face. Once we kill the prisoners of war, we will not rest until one of us is dead. A local war is enough to give us a headache. As for an all-out war, it will be enough to drag the Swordsman City to eternal damnation. "
Feng Qingyang's expression froze and he said awkwardly, "I was just saying."
Feng Qingyue's eyes shone brightly and she said solemnly, "I hope you're just saying. Big Brother, let me give you a piece of advice. Don't ever have such thoughts. "
Feng Qingyue looked at him worriedly and asked, "Big Brother, did something happen to your cultivation recently? Why do you feel so restless?"
The martial art that Feng Qingyang was cultivating was no longer the Feng Clan's secret art. It was a secret manual that he obtained in the game, and it was extremely strange. Feng Qingyue was worried that something had gone wrong with her brother's cultivation.
In history, there were many people who had a huge change in temperament due to a problem in their cultivation. Thinking about the strangeness of that secret manual, Feng Qingyue's worry was not groundless.
Unexpectedly, when Feng Qingyang heard this, he immediately asked her to leave. He waved his hand impatiently and a trace of hostility flashed across his face. "Alright, let me think about it. Let me think about it. You can leave first! "
When Feng Qingyue heard this, she silently looked at her brother and got up to leave.
"I better report to Father. I can't let Big Brother do anything that can't be dealt with." With this thought in mind, Feng Qingyue left for the West Court.
The West Court was the residence of the Feng Clan's elders. The environment was quiet and secluded, and it was the most suitable place for cultivation.
The people of the Feng Clan were a bunch of martial arts fanatics. Even when they entered the game, they mainly focused on practicing martial arts. They did not care much about the matters in the wilderness. Even the foundation of the clan was left to the two juniors, Feng Qingyang and Feng Qingyue.
This indirectly caused Feng Qingyang to have an unruly character.
Of course, even if they did not care, the words of the older generation still carried a lot of weight if something really happened.
…
West Court, Sky Sword Academy.
The head of the Feng Clan, Feng Xiaotian, was less than fifty years old. He was tall and sturdy, with a ruddy face and bright eyes. One look and anyone could tell that he had a profound cultivation. After listening to his daughter's report, Feng Xiaotian frowned and said, "I didn't expect Qingyang to cause such trouble. I'm really disappointed that he doesn't even know that the clan is in danger."
"Father, I'm worried that something happened to Big Brother's cultivation. He might be arrogant in the past, but he won't be stubborn to the end. This is a bit too much. "Feng Qingyue did not add insult to injury.
Feng Xiaotian nodded and said, "The situation you mentioned is not impossible. The 'Sky Demon Tactics' that Qingyang cultivates is incomplete, and it's also a demonic cultivation method. If he's not careful, he might go astray."
"How about this, I'll go check on Qingyang tonight."
Not to mention anything else, Feng Qingyang was indeed a genius in martial arts. Not only did he have an outstanding foundation, but he also had a strong comprehension ability. He could easily understand any profound and obscure technique.
Take the Sky Demon Tactics for example. In the entire Feng Clan, Feng Qingyang was the only one who could understand its essence.
Feng Xiaotian was quite proud of his son and saw him as the hope of the clan's future rise. How could Feng Xiaotian not be nervous when he heard that Feng Qingyang might have encountered a problem with his cultivation?
Feng Qingyue nodded and left.
Feng Xiaotian looked pensive as he watched his daughter's back.
19th January, Aolong Pass.
Regardless of what happened to the Feng Clan, the Imperial Guards' pace of attack was not affected at all. In just two days, the vanguard of the Imperial Guards arrived at Aolong Pass.
The vanguard of the army was the Mountain Barbarian Heavy Infantry Division.
Considering that the mountain road was rugged and long, the army was extremely vulnerable to attack, especially the cavalry. Once they were disturbed, there was no room to turn around on the mountain road, and it was easy to cause chaos.
This was one of the reasons why Sichuan had always been difficult to conquer.
The Imperial Guards were able to pass through because the map in the game was ten times larger. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have this mountain road and could only march along the Jinsha River valley.
The valley was steep and steep, and in some places, only plank roads could be built on the cliffs. Even walking was a miracle, not to mention fighting.
Therefore, Huo Qubing did not send the entire army forward. Only the Mountain Barbarian soldiers were marching at high speed. The Second Imperial Guard Corps was even stationed at the border, maintaining pressure and deterrence against Aolong Pass.
The Mountain Barbarian Heavy Infantry Division arrived at the pass, but did not attack immediately. The mountain road was rugged and steep, and it was impossible to transport large scale siege weapons.
Without siege weapons, it was almost impossible to take down this dangerous pass.
After the Mountain Barbarian Heavy Infantry Division set up camp, the first thing they did was to cooperate with the Imperial Guards' Engineering Battalion to gather local materials, cut down trees, and build siege weapons on the spot.
When the garrison at Aolong Pass saw this, they naturally mocked them.
With such a dangerous pass, in the eyes of the garrison, they could completely sit back and relax. Of course, it was also impossible for them to take the initiative to attack the Mountain Barbarian Division.
The Mountain Barbarian Heavy Infantry Division's reputation had long spread throughout the wilderness.
Even though the allied army had cheated the Mountain Barbarians outside Yong Ren City, the garrison at Aolong Pass did not dare to be presumptuous.
Those who knew a little about the inside story knew that in that battle, the allied army and allied army had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, and they had completely surrounded the Mountain Barbarians, but they were still at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation with the Mountain Barbarians. After paying a greater sacrifice than the Mountain Barbarians, they finally got rid of this hard bone.
The current garrison of forty thousand would not dare to fight the Mountain Barbarians even if they had the guts.
The first confrontation between Shanhai City and Swordsman City had begun with such a strange situation. The Mountain Barbarian soldiers were unhurriedly building siege weapons outside the pass, while the garrison inside the pass was leisurely watching the excitement. The scene did not have the slightest tension that a war should have. Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
