empire wars

Chapter 84
"The war will not end in a short time. It is just in time to send troops now. Of course, we cannot go with the whole army. After all, King Nanjing is the protagonist. We can just send some troops to support Youjiang City as a token."

Zhuge Mo reminded.

Yidu County is located in Jingzhou, Nanjiang, and belongs to the territory of King Nanjing. Moreover, King Nanjing has hundreds of thousands of troops in Youjiang City. The princes from all over the country will send reinforcements, but they will not be too many. Otherwise, they will usurp the throne and threaten King Nanjing. 's rule.

When they arrived in Jingzhou, Nanjiang, the King of Nanjing was a landlord, powerful, and also a prince. He had the highest status, so he was naturally the commander of the army. If they went there, although it was for support, they still had to obey the orders of the King of Nanjing.

If he saw someone leading an army of hundreds of thousands, the King of Southern Jing would directly order him to go head-to-head with the Heavenly Dao Army without further ado, and at the same time weaken the strength of both sides.

"Of course, I will bring a maximum of [-] to [-] troops into Yidu County. Then there are two purposes for going south this time."

Qin Yuan nodded slightly, he was not stupefied, he naturally knew how to measure, "First, crusade and recover Xiping County, cut off the retreat of the Heavenly Dao Army. Second, support the King of Nanjing, and take a look at the heroes of the world by the way, to see and see Future rivals.”

Today, Qin Yuan has 18 soldiers ready to fight.

One hundred thousand northern Qiang cavalry and eight major legions.

Ma Feiteng's Northern Qiang Army will definitely be dispatched. They cannot be allowed to stay in Mingwu City, nor can they be allowed to return to the northern grasslands. Therefore, it is the best choice to crusade against the Tiandao Army in Xiping County.

As for the 50 new recruits, they only underwent short training, did not have combat effectiveness, and were not assigned to various legions.

"Collect intelligence information on Xiping County and Yidu County, mobilize all the Northern Qiang Army and the Eight Great Legions, and send troops to conquer Xiping County tomorrow."

Qin Yuan said.

"The news about Xiping County has been inquired clearly for a long time. Now in Xiping City, there are [-] Tiandao troops gathered. As for the surrounding counties, there are one to two thousand regular troops. Not only that, but also sent troops to arrest young and middle-aged men in various places. The militiamen were thrown into the Yidu battlefield and collected money and food from the entire county, causing the people in Xiping County to live in poverty. The number of refugees going north these days is ten times more than a month ago."

Zhuge Mo's face was full of anger, and he was very disgusted with what the Heavenly Dao Army had done.

Burning, killing, looting, arresting strong men, raping women, etc. All the behaviors were more cruel than the behavior of the Beiqiang people after they occupied the city.

Qin Yuan frowned slightly. When the Tiandao Army first started the incident, everything was very friendly. After capturing the city, they even distributed food to the local people and publicized the teachings of Tiandao. They only attacked some powerful people.

However, since the imperial court issued the crusade order, it has lost the support of the family, coupled with the growing power of the Heavenly Dao Army, mixed with fish and dragons, bandits and robbers from all over the world have joined the Heavenly Dao Army, everyone has everyone, and they despise the Tiandao Army's uprising The purpose has become a real rebel who does all kinds of evil.

The top level of Tiandaozong also turned a blind eye to this. On the one hand, Tiandaozong has little control over the bottom of the Tiandao army, and it is very difficult to restrain it.

"Well, we must uphold justice for the people of Xiping County and rescue them from the fire and water. By the way, Yuzhou Mu's message came back two days late, saying that we went south to crusade against the Heavenly Dao Army. He asks for blessings."

After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he summoned all the generals and issued orders one by one. He would send troops to attack Xiping County tomorrow.

It was not until midnight that Qin Yuan finished the matter.

This time, the 18 troops, the generals and troops of the Northern Qiang and the Eight Legions will all be brought with them.

The newly summoned Meng Tian was responsible for guarding Jincheng and Wuwei counties, and was responsible for training 50 new soldiers.

In addition to bringing Zhuge Mo, the other Zhuge family children and others also stayed. Their political talents are not bad, and talents like them are needed to govern the two counties now.

It is still up to the generals to lead the troops in battle. If they follow, they can at most serve as marching staff or something, which is of little significance.

Whether it is the Northern Qiang Army or the Eighth Legion, it is difficult to intervene or make a decision.

"I'll leave it to you later."

Qin Yuan looked at Meng Tian and Zhuge Chen, and instructed. "March and fight ahead, the logistics must keep up."

Because Zhuge Chen successfully recovered Fanyang City and Tianshan City, he is now quite trusted by Qin Yuan.

"The grain and grass army has been dispatched in the evening and will arrive at Tianshan City soon." Zhuge Chen said quickly with a look of joy.

As the saying goes, a scholar dies for his confidant.

The army has not moved, and the food and grass go first.

The marching speed of food and supplies is not fast, even if they set off one night in advance, they will be overtaken by the army soon.

The 18 troops dispatched this time were all cavalry. The war horses were all captured from previous battles and traded with the Beiqiang people.

In order to express his sincerity, Ma Feiteng specially sent people to mobilize [-] horses from the tribe.

Today, Qin Yuan has a total of 23 horses under his command, all of which are the best war horses of the Northern Qiang.

The food and grass consumed every day is equivalent to the consumption of an ordinary army of one million.

No wonder the Northern Qiang people kept plundering food and grass. War horses consumed much more resources than soldiers. After all, if they only ate grass, they could not become superior Northern Qiang war horses.

At night, Qin Yuan's thoughts were mixed and he couldn't sleep. He got up and put on a white robe and left the tent.

"Lord!"

The Great Qin Tiger Guard who was in charge of guarding looked over.

"Just walk around."

Qin Yuan looked at the dark night, with only a few lonely stars hanging in the sky.

The barracks are brightly lit, and the scene tens of meters away can be clearly seen. There are soldiers on duty every [-] meters. In addition, there are some hidden secret sentries.

After walking a short distance of a few hundred meters, they encountered two patrol teams, a team of ten people, shuttling through the barracks, constantly patrolling.

Even in the Mingwucheng military camp, a high degree of vigilance was still maintained.

This is how it is in daily life. If you develop a normal state, you will not relax when you are marching and fighting.

Before he knew it, Qin Yuan came to the southern area of ​​the military camp, where [-] recruits were stationed.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

When Qin Yuan just came, he heard a loud shout, followed by the sound of gongs and drums that spread throughout the entire barracks, which was especially piercing in the silent night.

Swish swish!
Outside the camp, armies wearing scales quickly rushed in, interspersed in the barracks, and wandered outside the tents. Once soldiers rushed out of the tents, they would be met with their poisonous hands.

The sound of metal colliding was clanging, the rhythm was tight, the weapons glowed coldly, and the barracks was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

"Go, take a look at the high place!"

With a flash of Qin Yuan's figure, he came to a general's platform, watching the movement of the barracks condescendingly.

After a few breaths, a white dress appeared beside Qin Yuan, silently.

A few seconds later, Meng Tian came down with four generals at the same time, and the high platform almost collapsed with a bang.

Qin Yuan glanced at them and remained silent, with a flash of light in his eyes, watching every move of the barracks.
