No matter at any time, the uninhabited wild mountains and forests are very dangerous places, especially for large-scale marches, the degree of danger has increased by two or three times.

In the modern history of the source world, tens of thousands of people had to cross hundreds of miles of mountains and forests to return to a certain elite expeditionary force, but when they entered, there were tens of thousands of people, and when they came out, there were only less than 3000 people left. .

The loss in the middle is 90.00%, which is extremely miserable.

This is still the modern times of the original world. If it was the historical dynasty period with more backward productivity, it is estimated that even the remaining [-]% would not be able to survive.

In the art of war, it is said that the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people. These are just inspirational words. In the eyes of real military generals, the right time is the most critical factor affecting the outcome of the war.

For example, during the founding period of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, like his own son, sent 30 troops to attack Goguryeo. The 30 troops were all elite soldiers from the founding of the Sui Dynasty.

This elite army is enough to sweep the world, and it is even easier to deal with Goguryeo.

However, while the 30 army was still on the road, it was hit by continuous torrential rains. The heavy rain caused the 30 army to run out of food and grass, and there were many casualties. The dead and injured soldiers and the heavy rain caused plagues.

As a result, the 30 elite troops who were able to sweep the grasslands in the north and destroy the country were all killed and injured, and only a few hundred people fled back.

Even the Great Sui could not easily bear this situation.That is to say, Yang Jian did not have such a headstrong character as his own son, and he stopped immediately after losing 30 troops.

If Yang Jian came directly to the Three Conquests of Korea, it is estimated that the Sui Dynasty would be abolished before Yang Guang succeeded to the throne.

In the deep mountains and old forests full of wildness, everything is possible to happen plague, heavy rain, and countless poisonous insects and snakes.

If you let the army enter such a place rashly, you must be prepared to lose more than half of your troops before starting the attack.

"We must not let Xia Jun's raid on Gaochun succeed!"

Li Wenzhong forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and said firmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Qi Jiguang and others all understood the difference between marching in the plains and in the wild mountains and forests, but Gaochun was too important, and there was a river for the Xia army's surprise attack route.

There is a great chance of raiding the city of Gaochun.

None of them dared to imagine what kind of blow Daming would suffer if Gao Chun fell into Xia Jun's hands.

"Immediately step up training for ten days, this elite team will immediately leave camp and go south to Gaochun!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

At this time, he didn't have to think about where to put this army. Gao Chun didn't have strong troops to suppress it right now. He had to send troops to strengthen the defense immediately in order to maintain the Ming army's east-west front.

"Wen Zhong, let's give you [-] soldiers first, and go south first!"

"We must guard Gao Chun!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pressed his hands on Li Wenzhong's shoulders, and said earnestly.

Li Wenzhong could feel his trust and knew the importance of his trip. He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will definitely guard the city!"

"Yuan Jing, we will allocate all the materials in the internal treasury and the national treasury to you, and you will recruit another hundred thousand soldiers to train together. You can train as far as you can!"

"We give you full power, as long as the strength of these soldiers can be equal to that of ordinary soldiers in the army, the sooner the better!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were on Qi Jiguang.

Naturally, Qi Jiguang would not refuse, and immediately accepted the order!

After receiving orders separately, Li Wenzhong didn't dare to waste time, and immediately galloped on his horse to the military camp in Jinling, and dispatched [-] soldiers to the south with the imperial decree to dispatch troops.

Now there are only [-] defenders left in Jinling, and they have to defend the river bank, which is stretched.No matter how small Jinling's troops are, it will be difficult to suppress the hearts of the millions of soldiers and civilians around Jinling.

To be able to allocate 1 people to Li Wenzhong is already a man squeezed between teeth.

However, Gaochun still has thousands of guards, and there are also some soldiers in the surrounding cities. If these soldiers and horses are gathered together, tens of thousands of people will defend Gaochun, and it will not be a problem to persist until [-] elite soldiers go south.

It is impossible for Xia Jun to cross the wild mountains and rivers all the way to Gaochun City in just ten days, right?
Qi Jiguang continued to train soldiers.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao and Yang Shiqi to allocate all the materials in the national treasury and the internal treasury together to back up Qi Jiguang's continued military training.

"Father is going to squeeze out all the potential of Jinling this time!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang left.

Zhu Biao couldn't help talking to Yang Shiqi.Zhu Biao, as the deputy emperor of Ming Dynasty, was in charge of civil affairs with these cabinet bachelors, so he usually had a good relationship.

Yang Shiqi frowned until now, sighed slightly, and said: "Yes, with the tens of millions of soldiers and civilians in Jinling and Xuancheng, recruiting close to a million soldiers and horses is already the limit... To recruit another [-] soldiers, without training, In front of Xia Jun, they are just mobs!"

"Your Majesty must know this truth, but he still exhausted all the people's power in Jinling and all the resources of the treasury to continue recruiting soldiers. It seems that he regards Jinling as an abandoned son. The marching army..."

As soon as Zhu Biao stopped walking, a stern light flashed in his eyes and he looked at Yang Shiqi.

"Old Yang Ge, are you blaming your father?"

A slip of the tongue!
Yang Shiqi was shocked all over, feeling extremely remorseful in his heart,

I have a good relationship with Zhu Biao, but I am always a courtier, and Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang are father and son.

What I just said just now seems to be complaining to the emperor, and the prince will naturally get angry.

"The crown prince forgives the sin, but the minister's words were inappropriate and offended His Majesty..."

Yang Shiqi hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Zhu Biao looked at Yang Shiqi deeply, and said after a while: "Forget it, now is the time for employing people, I can forgive your disrespect this time, but if you offend me again, I can only report to the emperor!"

"Thank you, Prince! Thank you, Prince!"

Yang Shiqi didn't say a word well, and didn't dare to talk to Zhu Biao anymore. After pleading guilty, he hurried to allocate various materials from the state treasury.

After Yang Shiqi left, the anger on Zhu Biao's face slowly disappeared.

Instead, ponder and ponder.

"Although Yang Shiqi was somewhat disrespectful to his father's words, what he said also made sense. Father took out all the resources in the treasury and asked Qi Jiguang to continue his military training instead of letting this famous general go to Jurong or Dangtu. Perhaps I really plan to give up Jinling!"

Zhu Biao thought to himself.

However, Jinling is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. If this place is abandoned, what qualifications does the Ming Dynasty have to compete for the Jiangnan?
But if they don't leave, Jinling will be surrounded by enemies on three sides, the Yangtze River has lost its natural danger, and it has already become a strategic death zone. They can only be beaten passively in Jinling, waiting for the Xia army to attack...

"Forget it, my father is very talented and has a plan in his heart. I just need to obey orders and do things!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Biao shook his head and gave up the calculation.

Soon after.

Li Wenzhong rushed south with 1 troops.

When Qi Jiguang devoted himself to military training, there were no ninth-rank generals in Jinling City, so Zhu Yuanzhang went out in person to control the remaining soldiers.

……

In the wild mountain forest, a river with a width of tens of feet flows from west to east. On both sides of the river are virgin forests that have not undergone any development.

There are many dangers hidden in the woods and cliffs and peaks.

Poisonous mosquitoes the size of a human head, boa constrictors several feet in length, and small insects with highly poisonous bodies...

On the river, troop carriers went upstream one after another.

There are a large number of soldiers on board.

"General, twenty miles ahead, the flow of the river is accelerating, and the current is turbulent, and the flow of the river further away is even faster, and it is no longer possible to walk by water!"

A fast boat approached, and a hundred households in charge of scouting the news came back to report.

Xie Xuan frowned when he heard this.

If you can’t walk by water, you’ll be in trouble. In a world where there is no high-level power, it’s a narrow escape for a large army to enter the mountains. In the world of Shenzhou, where high-level power exists, people’s strength has become stronger, but correspondingly, the mountains have become stronger and stronger. Danger.

The already deadly poisonous insects and poisonous snakes have all transformed into strange beasts, and the threat to people has increased by more than ten times.

The waterway only needs to guard against the strange beasts in the water.

And walking on the mountain road, just the cliffs that rise and fall one after another, and the edge can't be seen at a glance, is a natural barrier for the army.

"Bo Yan, do you have a way to deal with it?"

Xie Xuan thought for a while, then turned to look at Lu Xun beside him.

After Wei Rui led his army south to Changxing, he stopped at Xie Xuan's headquarters in Zhongxi, and quietly entered Yixing, and then set off from here, traveling upstream along the waterway.

The speed of their march is limited by the troop carrier they are on. When the current is against the current and the wind is against the wind, it is far slower than when they go south from Jiangyin.

It would be great if the channel of this river was wider. Xie Xuan could use the five-toothed warship and dare to send troops without sails.

However, according to the simple inquiry made by the Military Intelligence Department in advance, the wide part of this waterway is tens of feet, and the narrow part is directly reduced by more than half, which cannot accommodate too large warships at all.

The soldiers on board were the [-] Beifu troops carefully trained by Xie Xuan, and the [-] Jiefan soldiers trained by Lu Xun.

Incomparably powerful.

But no matter how strong the strength is, it is impossible to cross this mountain and river before reaching the imperial sky flight.

"If it's just a matter of water flow, I can handle this matter!"

"However, if there is a cliff waterfall in the river ahead, there is nothing I can do!"

Lu Xun said slowly.

Xie Xuan relaxed when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "This place is not a big river, nor is it a high mountain. As long as you cross these hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, it doesn't matter even if you encounter cliffs and waterfalls!"

Lu Xun nodded, and took the command flag of the whole army from Xie Xuan.

After receiving the command flag, he closed his eyes slightly. Suddenly, the sky changed, and an invisible gust of wind fell from the sky, spreading in all directions centered on Lu Xun.

Make the flag wave.

The hundreds of troop carriers on the river also changed their formation according to the command flag. Although the formation was simple, a simple but interconnected aura was established through the command flag.

Whoosh!

An invisible wind surged between heaven and earth, with Lingqi as the core, pushing hundreds of ships to speed up.

It was slow at first.

But as the wind increased, the ship gradually changed from slow to fast.Ships broke through the oncoming water, cut through the waves, and crossed the waterway for twenty or thirty miles in a short while.

"So magical!"

Seeing this, Xie Xuan couldn't help but praise.

Lu Xun is a top-notch general at the ninth level, and he has already integrated the art of war and military power into the laws he has mastered. It is not difficult to use military power instead of his own strength to display the supernatural powers of laws.

He just displayed is one of the supernatural powers he has mastered.

It seems that it does not have a strong lethality, but it adds [-]% of its strength to naval operations.

In addition to the supernatural powers to increase the strength of the navy, Lu Xun also mastered the supernatural powers to fight in mountains and plains. Except that he is not good at cavalry, he can be regarded as a well-rounded general.

There are Xie Xuan, Lu Xun, and the mighty Xiao Moke in charge.

Tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses galloped along the waterway, Lu Xun would speed up when they encountered a fast-flowing water, and Xiao Moke would kill any monsters and strange beasts.

But two or three days.

The continuous cliffs on both sides of the river gradually decreased, and the peaks became much shorter.

"Liyang is ahead!"

After rushing through a bend in the river, the front suddenly widened.

The scout immediately came back to report.

Xie Xuan looked forward, and saw a city on the edge of the river far away.The walls of this city are not too high.

On the top of the city, the scattered defenders also saw the boats rushing out of the river bend downstream, and they were a little panicked.

"Xiao Moke!"

"The end is here!"

"I will give you a thousand elite soldiers to take this city!"

Xie Xuan ordered in a deep voice.

Xiao Moke showed a hint of excitement on his face, marching along with Xie Xuan and Lu Xun, and finally got a chance to make meritorious service.

They had a total of 4 elite soldiers and 30 ordinary soldiers, adding up to [-] horses. Their strength may not seem large, but their combat effectiveness can be compared with the Xia army's [-] million soldiers.

One thousand Beifu troops can kill ten thousand troops head-on.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

When Xia Jun's elite approached quickly, there was a piercing sound of gongs above the city of Liyang, and the defenders of the Ming army also rushed to the city wall.

After seeing Xia Jun's flag.

The complexion of this Ming army guard changed drastically, from blue to white.

"General, what should we do?"

The lieutenant asked anxiously.

The guard had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance was extraordinary. He looked at the hundreds of troop carriers in the distance, and his thoughts kept rising and falling.I have long heard that Xia Jun's invincible finally hit him today.

If it was the main force of the Xia army, he would have surrendered without saying a word, but in the distance it looked like there were only [-] to [-] soldiers... If he defended to death, he might not have no chance of winning...

kill!

Before the guard was troubled, Xiao Moke rose from the sky, like a thunderbolt falling on the top of the city.

With a stern shout, a domineering aura swept across.

The soldiers of the Ming army hundreds of feet around were flying in all directions like leaves being blown away.

Click!

The city wall of Liyang, which draws water from the side river as the moat, hangs a suspension bridge outside the city gate.

Xiao Moke swung his long lance, and the invincible sharp edge whizzed past, directly tearing apart the defensive formation of the city wall, and then smashed the iron cables of the suspension bridge at the top of the city with one blow.

The suspension bridge fell, and a thousand Beifu troops who had disembarked and rushed over immediately took over the city gate.The guards on the city wall were shocked by the sudden and violent bombardment, and they didn't react for a while.

Afterwards, Xiao Moke glanced away and saw the Ming army guard.

"General, slow down..."

The guard's eyes matched Xiao Moke's, and he was flustered immediately, and immediately shouted, ready to surrender.

But he wasn't finished yet.

A sharp rainbow light roared, and the whole person exploded...
