The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

While Li Zhong was preparing documents and tokens, Chen Subaru deployed personnel to Chen Jiao and others. Chen Jiao and Lin Yue stayed in Puyang County, Lin Ping went to Chenliu, Lin Hu rushed to Gaoping, while Lin Qiu, Bai Mei and others went to Pengcheng County.

Lin Qiu and Bai Mei led all the young White Tiger Guards. Lin Qiu was responsible for investigation, while Bai Mei was responsible for liaison with other county guards.

According to Chen Subaru's judgment, if the puppet army chooses this route to cross the Yellow River defense line, the military towns in Puyang, Dongyan, Chenliu, and Gaoping counties will bear the greatest pressure in the first round of attack. Among them, the military town of Gaoping County is most likely to fall. Chen Subaru must ensure that the four counties are not lost before reinforcements arrive.

If this goal is achieved, the reinforcements will be deployed along the line from Yingchuan County to Pengcheng County. By then, the puppet army will have lost its vitality, and the reinforcements can take advantage of the situation to defeat its main force.

As for whether the puppet army will choose other routes, Chen Subaru is not worried. From Jibei County to the south, Beifu military towns are densely arranged vertically. When the enemy captures one military town, another military town immediately appears in front of you, like an iron wall composed of military towns, isolating Yanzhou.

On the west side, no matter if you invade southward from Taishan County or Gaomi County, you will eventually have to face Qinglong Fort. The army of puppets will not choose this path no matter what.

On the east side, if the puppets did not choose the battlefield where Chen Subaru was to defend, they would have no choice but to bypass Yuzhou and enter Jingzhou. As a result, the exposed puppet army will be surrounded and suppressed by various soldiers and horses under the supervision of various sects of the Jin Dynasty, and eventually the entire army will be annihilated.

The covert operations of the puppet army relied on the unmanned buffer zone behind the Yellow River defense line. There is only a limited Beifu Army Town here, and there are no troublesome Immortal Cultivation Sects. They must get as close as possible to the border of Dajin. After entering Dajin, they must quickly find the location of the Chen family's secret treasure based on the location provided by the Xuanwu Army before the Xiuxian Sect is aware of it. Once the secret treasure is obtained, the Saints will launch an attack regardless of the cost.

As the Qinglong Guards Palace gradually moved from behind the scenes to the front stage, some larger military towns in the north also welcomed skilled masters. They shared some detection weapons, allowing the military towns to easily discover the mid-level puppets of the Huanchen Sect. These magical instruments are easy to operate, allowing monks to easily control them and conduct reconnaissance even if there is no military commander.

The Xuanwu Army must have mastered this information, so they have not let the army cross the Yellow River defense line for a long time. However, under Chen Jiaoer's layout, the Xuanwu Army had to make a desperate move. The puppets must seize this opportunity. Once the holy army loses patience, they may never have the opportunity to fight independently in the future.

"In these few days, Gaoping County will become the key to our victory or defeat!" In the military town meeting hall, Chen Subaru pointed to the location of Gaoping County Military Town on the map and said to Li Zhong.

Li Zhong frowned and looked at the map. The military town of Gaoping County was like an isolated fortress, a certain distance away from the adjacent military towns in the southeast, northwest and northwest. But for this reason, in addition to the 1,000 permanent garrison troops stationed in Gaoping County Military Town, there are also 13 defensive forts, each with one hundred to two hundred people garrisoned.

At this time, only Chen Jiao and Lin Yue remained with Chen Subaru. He pointed to the location of the military town of Gaoping County on the map and asked Li Zhong softly: "Li Linghu, do you think the Wu Fort around Gaoping County can be effective?"

Li Zhong shook his head with a serious expression: "It's difficult to hold on, and it's even difficult to slow down the puppet's attack."

Chen Subaru suggested: "We might as well evacuate Wupu and concentrate the entire army on defending Gaoping County."

Li Zhong shook his head and retorted: "If we abandon Wubao, we will lose all our eyes and ears. We can only sit back and watch the military town be besieged. This may cause people to divide their troops and go south."

Chen Subaru responded: "They won't do this. How much can they divide their troops in Gaoping County? After we abandoned Wubao, Gaoping County's military strength doubled. If they divide their troops too little, they will not be able to siege the military town; if they divide their troops too much, Pengcheng will be destroyed." How will they respond to the military towns in Junjun, Peijun and other places? Even if the reinforcements do not arrive, they will be unable to resist if reinforcements are sent from the direction of Xiapi."

Li Zhong thought for a moment and agreed: "Young Master Wenruo is right. This matter is of great importance. It is difficult for ordinary envoys to convince Gaoping County to take over the protection. I will go there myself. I also hope that Young Master Wenruo will do more for local defense in Puyang County." Take care of.”

Chen Subaru happily agreed, and Li Zhong handed over the responsibility of guarding the military town to Chen Subaru, and then flew to Gaoping County Military Town with several personal guard multipliers.

As the confrontation between the Qinglong Guard and the Xuanwu Army becomes increasingly tense, the atmosphere of approaching war is felt everywhere.

On the surface, the Beifu Army remained neutral, but in fact, it secretly ordered the leaders of all military towns to enter a state of wartime alert and pay close attention to the enemy's situation in the direction of the Yellow River defense line.

The Jin Dynasty sent envoys to call on the Qinglong Guard and the Xuanwu Army to exercise restraint and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Lingxi remotely commanded the army to assemble somewhere in East Yuzhou. For the sake of confidentiality, she mobilized all available members of the Saintess Cult, White Tiger Guard spies, and even important deployments were kept secret from Ye Hong. Therefore, except for Chen Subaru who was able to obtain some information when contacting Lingxi, it was difficult to obtain valuable intelligence at other times.

Within three days after Chen Subaru entered the Puyang County military town, in addition to strengthening the defense of the military town, all military towns entered a war-ready state under the deployment of the Beifu Army. Shouyang City's strategic reserves began to be continuously delivered to various military towns. Although the current military situation in various places is relatively stable, the escort of huge supplies is still an issue that needs to be solved urgently. Due to the monks in the north, the Beifu Army is temporarily unable to allocate enough manpower to carry out the task, so the escort task needs to be coordinated by all military towns.

After some lobbying in the military town of Gaoping County, Li Zhong succeeded in persuading the commander of Gaoping County to withdraw the Uburg troops, but during the withdrawal process, defenses and supplies needed to be transported back to the military town. Because there are many Wubao in Gaoping County, a veteran must be in charge to prevent accidents. Although Lin Hu is not weak in cultivation and has some methods of controlling people, she is a female monk after all and she still has investigation missions. At the same time, Shouyang's supplies began to be transported, and the military town north of Peijun needed to send out sufficient escorts to ensure the safe arrival of the supplies.

Therefore, Li Zhong stayed behind to take charge of the recovery of Uburg troops and supplies, while the commander of Gaoping County led nearly half of the troops and troops from the northern military town to Pei County to collect strategic supplies.

Puyang County naturally also sent a team of 300 people to Pei County. Because the distance was long and the danger was high, Chen Subaru asked Chen Jiao, who acted calmly, to be the team leader.

During their stay in Puyang County, Chen Jiao and Lin Yue did not release the mark of charm. Although the degree of slavery did not deepen, their relationship became increasingly close. When Chen Jiao led the team away, Lin Yue accompanied her to the border of Dongyan County before reluctantly returning.

Because part of the route was the same, and under the deliberate arrangement of the leading generals, soldiers and horses from the four counties of Puyang, Dongyan, Chenliu, and Gaoping met on the road, and nearly two thousand people joined forces to go to Pei County.
